20: Crushing from the system!

As the system prompt sounded, a message panel popped up in his vision. Li Xiao focused his gaze and saw that it was a detailed introduction to the Spark Event.

"Damn it! Is this an alternate world or a game world?"

Li Xiao was a bit confused now. He could understand the previous situation as a universal system possessing everyone, but now the system was even holding events, which made him dizzy.

After a closer look, this Spark Event seemed quite good. Killing Black Hawk Empire troops within twenty-four hours would earn him points, which could be exchanged for equipment, resources, and supply crates.

Speaking of fighting the Black Hawk Empire, the three hundred plus men in a company at the Transit Yard would be a good choice, but unfortunately, the enemy's firepower configuration was too strong.

So Li Xiao thought of his old profession again: highway robbery!

However, this time he didn't plan to operate on the branch road in Wu Feng Town but to cause trouble in Xi City.

He inventoried his stock. Of the three hundred timed C4 explosives previously confiscated from the Transit Yard, half remained, and he still had about three hundred fragmentation grenades.

"Hmm, this is how we'll play!"

He currently lacked resources to upgrade his five-level foundation, so he might as well take advantage of the event to get more.

Closing the page, Li Xiao used a conscription order and obtained an Engineer, a Machine Gunner, and a Communications Soldier.

The newly arrived Engineer could just replace Ye Ming. This guy was almost promoted to Corporal by relying on demolitions.

"Yang Chao, you drive him over and pick up Ye Ming!"

Li Xiao called Yang Chao over that night and had him drive a van to send the new recruits to replace Ye Ming.

After dawn, Li Xiao led eight infantrymen, including Di Yun, as well as Ye Ming, Zhang Shuang, and another Communications Soldier and Machine Gunner, directly towards the national highway leading to Xi City in the southeast direction... Two hours later, they arrived at the national highway, about twenty kilometers from Xi City.

Although it was a national highway, it was still a two-lane, two-way road, just a bit wider than branch roads, with added steel guardrails and drainage ditches.

"Ah, what a pity, these guardrails can't be collected..." Ye Ming crouched under the drainage ditch, looking at the guardrails above him.

"What are you dreaming about? If these guardrails could be collected, they would have been gone long ago."

Li Xiao cursed with a smile and then looked at the north side of the highway.

Because the highway was paved with asphalt, Ye Ming struggled for a long time to bury two explosives, and the backfill marks were very obvious.

However, this state was barely acceptable. If every single Black Hawk Empire driver could spot an anomaly, Li Xiao would have to be utterly impressed.

"Boss! A car is coming!"

After waiting for half an hour, it was ten in the morning, and the first prey entered their sight.

It was a pickup truck, appearing civilian, but in fact, a heavy machine gun was mounted in the cargo bed, and two gunners were intently scanning the surroundings.

There were two people in the pickup truck's cab, both wearing Black Hawk Empire military uniforms, seemingly unaware of any anomaly.

"Is this a Black Hawk Empire unit?"

Seeing this setup, Li Xiao couldn't help but recall the signature configuration of an organization from a war-torn country before his transmigration.

"Boss, should we attack?"

"Attack! Why wouldn't we!"

The pickup truck was moving very fast. Li Xiao thought for a moment and then gave the attack order.

With a loud bang, the pickup truck flew into the air, rolled twice, and crashed into the guardrail.

【You have attacked a Tianyu Republic Militia organization. Your hostility towards this organization has increased!】

"Holy crap! What the hell!"

Just as Li Xiao was secretly pleased that four points were about to be in his grasp, the system suddenly flashed a warning, and he was stunned.

"It's over, Boss. We killed the local resistance forces of the Tianyu Republic. This will have a very bad impact on our future occupation of resource areas that require the cooperation of local civilians," Ye Ming said awkwardly.

"This is truly messed up..."

Li Xiao was very depressed. This was no different from killing a neutral NPC and then being wanted across the entire map.

Unfortunately, the four people in the pickup truck were beyond dead, with no hope of revival.

"Forget it, clean up the battlefield and rebury the explosives."

You know what, this militia organization was quite rich. Four people actually yielded over eighty Star Coins, and the truck also had sixty points of fuel and half a basic load of two thousand heavy machine gun rounds.

Despite the unexpected turn, it was still a good start.

Half an hour later, another target appeared, but unfortunately, it was two transport trucks fully loaded with Imperial Soldiers.

According to Ye Ming, these transport trucks had a durability of twelve thousand and required two C4 explosives to be completely destroyed.

But they had only installed two C4s side by side. If they blew up the front truck, they couldn't blow up the rear one. No matter which one they blew up, thirty strong men would jump out, and his current firepower would definitely suffer losses.

So, after letting the two transport trucks go, Li Xiao told Ye Ming to quickly lay two more.

The following time was his harvesting period. The second to fall into the trap was a military jeep. Six thousand durability points were taken care of by one C4. A First Lieutenant, a Private First Class, and a Private brought him sixteen points, plus some weapons and ammunition.

"Not bad, keep going!"

Li Xiao's bandit-like highway robbery continued until the afternoon. More than forty Black Hawk Empire troops were caught, nine vehicles were destroyed, and a total of two hundred and twenty points were accumulated.

"Quick! Drag the wrecked cars to the side of the road, and Ye Ming, keep laying mines."

This section of the road had been riddled with holes by Ye Ming's C4 explosives, and passing vehicles could see the anomaly from afar.

However, because this was a national highway with no branches nearby, they had no choice but to pass through here.

Ye Ming, who had already been promoted to Corporal, became faster and more efficient at laying C4. If he kept this up, he might even be promoted to Sergeant before midnight tonight.

Li Xiao hid in the ditch, listing the captured pistols, rifles, and other weapons at low prices in the trading center one by one. His backpack was more than half full of various weapons.

Just then, a dull hum echoed from the sky. Everyone looked up, but the afternoon sun was too dazzling; only tiny clouds could be seen in the sky.

"What's that sound?" Li Xiao asked everyone.

"It sounds like a plane..." Di Yun listened carefully, not very certain.

"It's a helicopter! And it's an armed helicopter!"

No sooner had Di Yun's voice faded than Zhang Shuang on the side shouted.

Everyone looked at Zhang Shuang, who was pointing towards the southwest. There, a helicopter with a slender fuselage but missile launchers hanging from both sides of its wings was speeding low over the treetops, heading straight for them.

Everyone, including Li Xiao, froze in place. This was his first time seeing a real armed helicopter. The sense of shock was even more terrifying than the first day he transmigrated and saw the faint, elusive space carrier high in the sky.

While they were still unsure what was happening, a beehive launcher under the helicopter's wing continuously spewed flames, dust rose everywhere, and four missiles fired consecutively towards them.

"Holy crap! Rockets! Take cover!"
