Tokyo Detective

Chapter 318 A Battle of Equal Strength
"Who are these people?"

Ethan was completely unable to answer his subordinates' questions.

According to intelligence provided by others, there shouldn't be such heavily armed enemies at this time, and their equipment is unrecognizable. Could it be that their squad was betrayed?
Regardless of whether he was betrayed or not, he was determined to break through the encirclement with his men; three people had already been killed.

"Chris."

"Received, boss."

Chris raised the Barrett with one hand and fired instantly, without even needing to aim. The recoil of the sniper rifle seemed to have no effect on him. But what happened next exceeded Chris's expectations.

Naoki Hanyu simply tilted his head to avoid the bullet that grazed him, barely moving his body.

"impossible."

Chris frowned and fired two more bullets, but Naoki Hanyu easily dodged them again, and his expression instantly turned very ugly.

How could a human body dodge a sniper bullet? What kind of monster did he see? This is a 12.7mm bullet, which is faster than a regular bullet in both power and speed.

"Boss, we've run into a tough opponent."

"Yes, everyone, listen to my command and crush the enemy."

The Berserker Squad launched a full-scale counterattack against the clone Squad, who were attacking from both sides. Ethan, the gunner, even raised the six barrels of the Gatling gun and spun them, unleashing another burst of metal.

A faint sense of crisis arose in Naoki Hanyu's mind, so he grabbed the chassis of a car with one hand and then forcefully flipped the car sideways.

The bullets riddled the car with holes, but the target was also obscured and could not be seen.

"died?"

The next second, the same metallic storm pierced through the car and hit Ethan's armor. The armor withstood the weakened bullets, but Naoki Hanyu's control of the trajectory seemed to lock onto Ethan, following him no matter how he moved, which greatly angered this battle-hardened mercenary.

"Fuck, what's going on with them? How can they keep knowing my location even though I have no vision of them?"

Ethan had no idea that an eagle in the sky was observing the entire battlefield and relaying the information back to its master.

Ethan ran for a while and finally determined the approximate location of the enemy from the trajectory of the bullets, so he stopped running and also raised his Gatling gun and fired even though his view was blocked by several vehicles.

The two streams of fire converged and intersected; some bullets collided and canceled each other out, while others shot towards their respective launchers.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Bullets left craters in the armor, and the exchange of fire only stopped when Ethan's Gatling gun was destroyed.

"Fake."

Ethan followed suit, lifting the car up to block the view horizontally and vertically. This was the first time he had encountered such a frustrating shootout.

"Chris, I need your help to cover for me."

"I have located the other party."

Naoki Hanyu, who was firing his gun, suddenly tilted his head. The curve of his helmet produced sparks and left deep bullet marks, as a sniper bullet had just been deflected.

"bang bang bang"

Bullets kept rolling, and Naoki Hanyu, using his Eagle Vision, discovered the sniper Chris's cunning tactics. Chris would quickly change positions after each shot, making it difficult for Naoki to lock onto him.

Even stray bullets were blocked by Chris's bulletproof shield. A bulletproof shield that can stop Gatling gun bullets is definitely better than the B7 level on the market. Could it be the rumored B8 level?
"You can do this? What are you clones doing? Come and help!"

"Don't rush us. The enemy is strong and we're also in a difficult situation. We still need your help."

"Damn it, don't rush me! The enemy has hero units, and more than one. I'm going to die."

A lazy clone was shot in the head with precision. It seemed as if the attacker had anticipated the clone's movements. The gunman was none other than the Shingu.

A melee involving more than 30 people ensued, with bullets flying like a barrage, and civilians within a radius of several kilometers began to be evacuated.

A Khorne clone threw a grenade, which landed precisely on the attacker's position and blew him away.

But the next second, the rocket launcher also blew him and his vehicle away; this was the work of a rocket soldier named Bright.

"Haha, interesting, interesting! Let the storm rage on!"

This 1.9-meter-tall man, wielding the RPO PDM-A "surgical knife" triple rocket launcher, was able to kill one clone with each shot, comparable to a sniper.

After firing three shots, Brian threw down the now-useless cannon barrel and pulled out an RPG-7 from his personal weapon case again; he just loved playing with rocket launchers.

Suddenly, a sniper bullet pierced Brian's arm, forcing the madman to hide in a blind spot while simultaneously using his communicator to notify his teammates.

"Damn it, they have a sniper. Be careful."

A mercenary named Jingu used an abandoned vehicle as cover to sneak up in front of a clone. Before the clone could react, the mercenary pulled out a samurai sword and cleaved the man in two.

The two clone teams were now fighting in a very frustrating manner. They were clearly stronger individually than their opponents and had the vision of the eagle, so they should have been dominating the fight.

However, two enemy heroes caused our side to lose 5 players on their own, and with other battle situations, we lost a total of 8 players, half of our team was wiped out.

"Where are our heroes? You bastard, come and save us! If you don't come soon, our brothers will all be wiped out."

"Hero my foot, play less games."

The clone retorted.

"I've never even played the game. I'm just sharing your memories, you bastard. And you insisted on using an avatar to take your shifts. Otherwise, with the avatar's physique, it would be no problem for you to be a hero unit. We wouldn't be so frustrated."

"."
.
Meanwhile, the Berserker Squad was also extremely frustrated. When they fought the Police Squad, all 22 members were unharmed, but when facing an enemy of unknown origin, they suffered heavy casualties, with 11 members already dead or wounded.

Ethan, as the team leader, was even more anxious, not because of the heavy casualties. These ordinary members could be recruited again if they died, as long as the five core members were not lost.

What unsettled him was that this was neon-lit, and they couldn't afford to linger any longer, but the enemy wouldn't let them escape easily.

Just then, several speedboats sailed across the Arakawa River. They were over 10 meters long and moving very fast, and judging by their speed, they had at least eight horsepower engines. These kinds of speedboats are usually only seen on smugglers' modified boats. "The speedboats are here. If we don't leave now, we'll miss our chance."

Ethan steeled himself and charged toward Naoki Hanyu's position. Without a heavy machine gun, he couldn't possibly break through the enemy's defenses. Since weapons couldn't defeat the enemy, he would resort to close combat. His state-of-the-art armor was his source of confidence.

"Chris, keep covering for me."

"Be careful, it's a monster too."

Ethan smashed through the vehicles blocking his way like a bull; his armored suit was deadly.

"That damn guy is facing me directly."

Just as Ethan pushed the car open and arrived at Naoki Hanyu's location, Chris's anxious voice came through the communicator.

"Ethan, get out of the way!"

"."

Ethan's sinister smile froze, because the man so close to him was holding an 82mm mortar with one hand, pointing it at him from 3 meters away.

"Fake."

"Boom."

The high-explosive shell was launched and hit its target in less than a second. A fireball exploded between the two men, and the powerful force blasted the steel giant several meters away.

"Ethan, are you alright?"

"Ahem, I'm fine."

Ethan felt pain all over his body, but fortunately, the 20mm thickness of the armor provided sufficient protection, at least artillery shells with poor armor-piercing capabilities like grenades couldn't kill him.

However, it did cause him some real harm. Not only did it cause him pain all over his body, but the robotic arm's auxiliary functions were also damaged, and even the communication system malfunctioned, with Chris's voice coming through intermittently.

Suddenly, a force lifted Ethan up. He weighed 600 kilograms in his armor, yet he was lifted up with one hand.

The next second, he was slammed to the ground, followed by a heavy punch that made Ethan's head buzz. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Naoki Hanyu's suppression. Ethan was dumbfounded.

Even without the aid of a robotic arm, he is a monster of strength capable of lifting 1.3 tons, yet he was held down by one hand and unable to move.

Naoki Hanyu didn't care about his opponent's condition. He suppressed him with one hand, his fists landing relentlessly on the enemy's head, leaving the armored helmet dented and causing Ethan's head to throb.

Naoki Hanyu's punches grew faster with each blow. If the rocket launcher hadn't been given to his clone, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed, by firing it at the monster in front of him. Now, he had to take matters into his own hands.

"boom."

The sniper bullet pierced Hanyu Naoki's armor, but he acted as if nothing had happened, lifting Ethan up with one hand to use as a shield, and then continued to throw punches.

A mere sniper bullet couldn't possibly penetrate his two layers of armor. Keep in mind that with 200 stamina boost, his tough skin is comparable to an outer layer of armor; the bullet would only remain inside his body and wouldn't be able to penetrate it at all.

Soon, Naoki Hanyu ripped off Ethan's helmet, revealing his unconscious face covered in blood.

Naoki Hanyu smiled and slammed the man to the ground, then looked at Chris, who was holding a sniper rifle not far away.

"You're next."

"."

Chris's pupils contracted slightly. He couldn't believe that Ethan, who had always seemed like a giant, had lost in close combat. The feeling of the sky falling made his hands tremble.

What happened next made him lose his composure even more. He saw Naoki Hanyu turn a car sideways and push it forward, the car body screeching against the ground, and even pushing other vehicles forward.

Using this as a shield, no matter how Chris shot through the car, he couldn't stop Naoki Hanyu from advancing, and the distance between them was rapidly shrinking.

"Damn bastard, how am I supposed to fight this? I shouldn't have taken this damn mission."

As the sirens grew closer and more numerous, and with a killer eyeing them, Chris, the deputy captain, finally gave the order to be ashamed.

"Everyone evacuate immediately, right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chris jumped off the bridge and into the water. Seeing this, the other team members had no choice but to jump into the river as well, because the number of dead and injured had risen to 14. They had long since given up, and if they continued to fight, they would really be wiped out.

One by one, the berserker squads climbed onto the speedboats and headed upstream on the Arakawa River, as if they had rehearsed the operation. Unfortunately, they did not expect to encounter an accident.

Takamura Yamato was hiding and trembling with fear, but in the blink of an eye, no one was watching him and he ran away. So he also wanted to jump into the river like others.

"boom."

The bullet pierced Takamura Daiwa's thigh, and Hanyu Naoki will not let him get away with it.

[Ding! Intentional assault has accumulated 5 stars of sin.]

Only 5 stars?
Indeed, the crimes committed by killing these deep red-named individuals are much less.

"It's time to leave. Everyone should retreat according to plan."

The remaining four clones, looking dejected, collected the system weapons and returned them to the main body. Then they threw the clones' corpses into the river and waited for Naoki Hanyu to cancel the act of destroying the evidence.

As for the five prisoners, one of them jumped into the river with another, leaving Naoki Hanyu to take care of Ethan, who was wearing armor.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was about to leave, a familiar car appeared in his field of vision, followed by a familiar person.

He saw Fujiwara Mai, who had just been discharged from the hospital, pointing a submachine gun at him.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot."

"."

What a rebellious and disobedient disciple!
