Chapter 423: Catch one alive

Instantly, several modified humans took out weapons from behind them—specially modified firearms with immense power.

They skillfully adjusted their firing angles, aiming at the drones in the sky.

“Bang bang bang!”

Gunshots rang out, tongues of flame spewed from the muzzles, and bullets whistled towards the drones.

The drones seemed to sense the danger and, under Liang Yu’s control, began to dodge nimbly, rapidly turning and diving in the air.

However, the modified humans’ shooting was incredibly precise, with bullets relentlessly pursuing them.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air, and the drones’ evasive maneuvers became increasingly difficult.

Finally, bullets struck the wings of several drones; the drones emitted a harsh electrical sound, began to shake violently, lost balance, and plummeted unsteadily towards the ground, ultimately crashing heavily into the dust nearby, kicking up a cloud of dirt.

The modified humans looked at the fallen drones, joy appearing on their faces, and prepared to attack the remaining drones in the sky.

Liang Yu’s gaze was stern; in the previous engagement, he had deliberately not given the order to fire, only wanting to test his opponents.

At this moment, the data collected by the system had been fed back and flashed on the screen before his eyes.

“Hmph, it’s about time to end this probing.”

Liang Yu said, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, while two Sixteen Types were also dispatched towards the battlefield.

He quickly tapped on the virtual control panel, and the drone wings instantly emitted a high-frequency buzzing vibration as the weapon systems on both sides of the fuselage slowly unfolded, revealing dark, cavernous muzzles.

The modified humans below seemed to sense the change in the situation and began to stir, searching for cover.

Liang Yu stared intently at the screen, and seeing that the time was right, he directly ordered his remaining drones to open fire.

As the drones spewed out scorching beams of light, they struck their targets like lightning.

The enemy camp instantly erupted in flames, and the roar of explosions was deafening.

Smoke billowed, engulfing the entire scene in chaos.

Liang Yu’s expression was calm as he continued to control the drones for precise strikes, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.

An intense battle erupted in the open area; the modified humans, agile in their movements, were met with a fierce assault from the drone swarm. Laser projectiles shot from the drones, raining down densely upon the modified humans.

Despite their formidable strength, the modified humans found it difficult to fully withstand this sudden attack.

Shells kicked up clouds of dust, and amidst the flashing fire, the scene was chaotic.

But astonishingly, under such intense artillery fire, not a single modified human died.

Relying on their powerful physical constitution and tenacious will, they endured wave after wave of attacks.

After a brief period of chaos, the modified humans quickly adjusted their state and began a strong counterattack.

They coordinated seamlessly, with some responsible for drawing drone fire and others seizing opportunities to strike.

One of the modified humans’ leg muscles instantly swelled, and with a powerful burst of force, he leaped high into the air, grabbing a drone in mid-air, and with a forceful twist of his hands, he tore its fuselage apart, scattering parts everywhere.

Other modified humans shot energy beams from their body parts, precisely targeting the drones.

The energy beams pierced through the drone’s outer shell like arrows, destroying its internal systems.

Drones constantly fell from the sky, trailing black smoke, creating large craters on the ground.

The fierce battle continued in the open area.

Liang Yu’s drone swarm was clearly at a disadvantage at this point.

Those modified humans, agile and possessing fierce attack methods, launched a furious counterattack against the drone swarm.

However, Liang Yu did not flinch in the slightest.

Although the drone swarm continuously suffered heavy damage, it still stubbornly circled in the air, continuing to fire.

Beams of laser light streaked across the sky, striking the modified humans with desperate resolve.

The modified humans dodged nimbly, but four of them were unfortunately hit by the lasers.

One was shot in the leg, his body swayed, and he nearly fell; another was wounded in the shoulder, blood instantly staining his clothes, but he gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward; two others were more severely injured, one with a penetrating wound to the abdomen, kneeling on the ground, and the other with an arm almost severed by the laser, his face pale with pain, letting out a tormented roar.

But even so, the pressure on Liang Yu’s drone swarm remained immense.

More and more drones were precisely struck by the modified humans, with fragments of parts scattering everywhere in the air.

Yet Liang Yu stared intently at the battlefield, his eyes firm, his hands rapidly operating the control console; even though the situation was unfavorable, he never thought of giving up.

The scene was deadlocked, the atmosphere as tense as a bowstring about to snap.

The standoff between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, every movement, every breath seemingly magnified infinitely.

Just then, a low rumble came from a distance, and Liang Yu’s two Sixteen Type, like stingers, appeared behind the battlefield.

Their fuselages shimmered with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight, exuding a chilling aura.

Liang Yu’s expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the chaotic battle on the light screen, and he decisively ordered the Sixteen Type not to join the battle yet! He instructed the remaining drones to perform suicide attacks to buy time.

He then controlled the remaining drones, like a suicide squad, to charge towards the modified humans.

The drones, with a resolute momentum, crashed into the modified humans without hesitation, and the ground trembled with each explosion.

Flames from the explosions shot into the sky, and debris splattered everywhere, instantly throwing the modified humans’ formation into disarray.

Liang Yu seized this opportunity, controlling the Sixteen Type to move behind the enemy, aiming to capture a modified human alive.

The Sixteen Type moved like lightning, instantly rushing into the modified human crowd from behind.

He moved nimbly through the chaotic battlefield, avoiding the modified humans’ attacks, and precisely locked onto a target.

Two Sixteen Type’s energy nets struck the modified human’s body, and no matter how the modified human struggled, he could not break free.

In the chaos, none of the modified humans paid attention to this scene, and could only let the Sixteen Type leave.

As the modified human struggled within the energy net, the Sixteen Type also began to release paralyzing currents, and the captured modified human gradually lost his strength.

The Sixteen Type quickly returned to Liang Yu’s side with the captured modified human.

At this point, the battlefield temporarily quieted down, Liang Yu’s drone swarm was exhausted, and the Sixteen Type had already flown far away under their noses.

At this moment, they had no choice but to abandon the captured person; now they not only had to regroup but also treat the injured modified humans.

If pursuing and trying to rescue the captured modified human resulted in greater losses, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

While they were resting and regrouping, Liang Yu had already made preparations, setting up a temporary cage to welcome this special guest.
