MTLNOVEL Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Ambush
Waving his hand towards Nagant Revolver and P38, Renault squinted his eyes, observing the figures hidden in the darkness.
Those individuals were targeting Drake standing in front, not heading towards them. However, if a fight broke out, these individuals might try to seize an opportunity to gain some extra benefits.
For now, let Drake deal with the trouble he caused himself.
"Sorry, Mr. Renault, it seems to be some old enemies. I'll resolve..."
Bang!
As Drake was speaking, a gunshot erupted from the darkness of the cave! A bullet flew directly towards Drake!
Although the shooter's gun was equipped with a suppressor, the distance was only twenty or thirty meters.
In that instant, the muzzle flash was enough for Nagant Revolver, P38, and the others to see who was firing.
It was a man wearing a helmet and night vision goggles, with a scruffy beard covering his face. His shot was precise, leaving Drake no time to react.
Bang!
After a muffled sound, Drake, hit in the chest, didn't fall. Instead, he turned his head and looked into the darkness.
After he turned his head, a buzzing sound suddenly emanated from Drake.
"Electromagnetic interference?" Hearing the sound, HK416 frowned. The holographic sight on her gun stopped working. The most likely cause for this situation was electromagnetic interference.
Without waiting for another attack from the enemy, Drake had already darted out of sight! Following his movement were rapid gunshots, but none of the bullets aimed at Drake hit their mark. Instead, they landed where Drake had been standing.
Renault's position happened to avoid the trajectory of those bullets.
Clang!
A grating sound of metal collision rang out. Drake, who had just charged out, now had a forearm blade on his arm, which sliced through one of the ambushers' rifles.
In his other hand, Drake pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired back, taking down two attackers attempting to ambush him from behind.
Watching the fight ahead, Nagant Revolver raised an eyebrow. "This guy's modifications are thorough. His combat ability is almost on par with Sangvis Ferri's elite T-Dolls, isn't it?"
"Probably. His speed is no slower than Hunter's, anyway. Of course, before Renault modified Hunter." AR15 watched Drake, who had just taken down three enemies while evading, with a serious expression.
Not only in combat, but his defense is definitely superior to Hunter's. At least Hunter wouldn't have acted as nonchalantly after taking a rifle shot.
Drake's modifications might even make him slightly stronger than Sangvis Ferri's elite T-Dolls in terms of combat ability, especially in close quarters combat, given the seemingly formidable forearm blade.
However, their speed is still enough to keep up with him for now.
What they couldn't be sure of was whether that forearm blade would be severed upon contact with their specially designed frames like other weapons.
Renault watched the fight ahead expressionlessly.
Drake was only dealing with a portion of the ambushers. There were still several individuals hiding deeper, observing the fight intently.
Since these ambushers were targeting Drake, they must have some knowledge of him. The fact that they could hide safely in the distance without Drake noticing was evidence enough.
Drake heavily relied on his devices for tracking enemies, and once those devices were suddenly ineffective, his situation would become dire.
The current situation was that these individuals hiding deeper seemed to have blocked Drake's detection methods using some unknown means.
Nagant Revolver and the others were also somewhat affected, completely unaware of those hidden individuals deeper in.
An electronic device jamming device? Renault shrugged his shoulders at the oblivious Drake and the others beside him.
Although doll dolls had various detection devices, they were ultimately electronic devices, and someone would always come up with corresponding countermeasures.
Today, they just happened to encounter it.
As for whether Drake could deal with these enemies, Renault really didn't know.
After all, before seeing the results, anything outrageous could happen.
However, Drake clearly couldn't last too long. Just dealing with the dozen or so people in front of him was already draining enough. If the four or five people behind had weapons tailored to take down Drake, he would be in trouble.
As for whether to lend a hand... Definitely not. He paid someone to lead the way, not to get himself into trouble.
Moreover, finding a guide was just to make things more convenient for himself, not an irreplaceable job.
Without Drake, there might be other guides. There were plenty of guides everywhere.
He wasn't worried about not finding his way out of the black market stronghold later. It was just a matter of spending a little more money, nothing serious.
Just as Drake swung the forearm blade on his arm to cut down the last enemy he sensed, a series of muffled sounds erupted from the deeper darkness.
"Crossbows?" Renault, hearing the sound, was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected those individuals to use such ancient weapons to attack Drake.
It's already 2060s, why are lot still using antique gear?
Thunk!
However, what surprised Renault was that most of these attacks were aimed at Drake, but one crossbow bolt flew straight towards his forehead!
What's the meaning of this? Did his brain overheat because there wasn't a hole in his head?
Raising his hand to catch the crossbow bolt, Renault frowned at the individuals deeper in the cave.
These people seemed to be dissatisfied with Drake, who appeared to have little to offer. Instead, they saw him, a newcomer, as an easy target.
Their thought process was indeed faulty. It seemed they needed him to help them straighten it out.
