Chapter 2923: Chapter 2924: Escort
"Deal!" Xue An said with a smile.
"Then let’s hurry up and leave!" Wu Nianyin urged.
"Leave?" Xue An shook his head, "It’s not that easy! As you said, there are indeed people who want you dead, so another wave of attacks has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from afar, and everyone changed color when they looked closely.
Because countless flying insects suddenly appeared in the distant space.
These insects were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they flew close.
Only then did people see clearly that these were not insects at all but intricately designed dual-rotor small drones.
Individually, these small drones were quite beautiful, even exquisite.
But when they grouped together to form a massive swarm resembling a locust cloud, it was terrifying.
Especially when delicate little missiles appeared below these drones, the fear reached its peak.
"Firearms Society again!" Wu Nianyin gritted his teeth.
On Great Sun Island, besides the Firearms Society, no other force would use such a method against enemies.
The man standing behind Wu Nianyin quickly reacted, grabbed Wu Nianyin’s hand, and shouted, "Everyone retreat back to the ship where there’s armored defense; at least it’ll hold for a while!"
It was the only option left.
Though the missiles of these drones seemed pitifully small, their power was enormous, especially when they came charging in waves; even the strongest among them would be terrified.
Yet at this moment, Xue An calmly flicked his finger.
A streak of sword light shot into the drone swarm with incredible speed, quickly splitting into countless strands, targeting the rotors of these drones.
These drones had agile maneuverability, with ordinary magical weapons having no chance of approaching.
But today, confronted with the sword light released by Xue An, these drones seemed clumsy.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
With the sound of metal tearing, the sword light deftly sliced off the rotors of these drones.
The drones, losing power, started to fall like leaves, exploding the suspended missiles.
Bang, bang, bang!
Explosions erupted one after another, quickly triggering a chain reaction.
By the time these drones tried to retreat, only a few remained.
Xue An then said indifferently, "Now, let’s go!"
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected the terrifying drone assault to be so effortlessly broken by Xue An.
However, Wu Nianyin quickly regained his calm and nodded, "Alright! I’ll gather my men now!"
Because the ship’s propulsion system encountered severe damage, it was hopeless to fix it anytime soon. Wu Nianyin decisively abandoned it, leading his elite troops lightly, setting out with Xue An towards the Wu Family’s direction.
Not long after they left, two figures emerged on the battlefield where the drones had fallen.
One wore a mecha; it was Meng Yi.
The other was a woman clad in a silver robe.
But her face looked anything but good at this time, especially seeing the drone wreckage floating in the air, leaving the woman on the brink of tears.
"Meng Yi, this is your so-called easy pickings? I should have never believed your crap, resulting in losing a drone swarm. You owe me compensation!"
Blasted by the woman’s loud voice, Meng Yi’s head hurt, but he was aware of his wrongdoings, having no defenses, only forcing a smile.
"Please calm down, Aunt Yin; I didn’t know this guy was so formidable. If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked you to help!"
"Humph, you did it on purpose, I blame myself for being silly, watching you forced to bring out the mecha; I should’ve realized his power. Sadly, for my little precious!"
The person called Aunt Yin looked at the debris-covered ground with a teary expression.
Meng Yi was accustomed to Aunt Yin’s fluctuating mood, knowing this matter had passed.
He turned to look in the direction Xue An and others left, eyes flickering with unusual brightness.
Before, chased by Xue An, Meng Yi barely escaped with the power of the mecha, heart filled with indignation, thinking the blame solely lay with his bad luck.
Since they seemed merely passing through, after this occurrence, perhaps they’ll depart.
Thus, hurriedly, he contacted Aunt Yin using the communication device, hoping to destroy Wu Nianyin into pieces with a drone swarm strategy.
Unexpectedly, Wu Nianyin held a great life; the person who saved him not only stayed but acted again, saving him once more.
Throughout, Xue An displayed immense strength, extinguishing Meng Yi’s vengeful heart.
Yet it didn’t mean he’d just let it be.
Because he knew the Firearms Society, once took a contract, would complete it no matter the cost.
Even though both he and Aunt Yin failed, definitely more seasoned seniors would be sent for Wu Nianyin’s assassination.
On this note, Meng Yi suddenly felt relieved.
Being his first mission, reaching this point was quite remarkable.
Aside from everything else, luck played a key role.
Knowing the Firearms Society had swiftly prepared after accepting the kill Wu Nianyin contract.
The trouble was the vast Great Sun Island; entry points were unpredictable.
Therefore, the Society dispersed troops everywhere, leading to shortage issues.
Thus, Meng Yi could independently lead a firearms team, guarding here as a rookie.
Truth be told, Meng Yi hadn’t anticipated bumping into Wu Nianyin.
He simply treated the mission as experience-building for himself.
So spotting the lone vessel made him thrilled, believing it was an enticing reward and eager to seize it.
Which led to subsequent events.
After being chased away by Xue An, he bore resentment, refusing to flee far but observing the situation through a detection device left on the battlefield.
Seeing Wu Nianyin later shook him, realizing his stroke of great luck.
Therefore, while reporting to his superiors, he contacted nearby Aunt Yin.
Even though Aunt Yin failed, headquarters must’ve received his update.
His mission stood accomplished; perhaps rewards awaited.
Thinking about this, Meng Yi cheerfully said to Aunt Yin.
"Come on, let’s follow and see if there’s anything else worth grabbing!"
Aunt Yin still lingered in her grief, picking recyclable parts from the wreckage.
Her head down, responding to Meng Yi’s words, "Not going, if you want, go yourself; careful not to lose your life!"
