A strange rumbling sound came from the distance behind them. At that moment, people in the last armored vehicle shouted, "It's Sanctuary's troops! Sanctuary's troops are catching up from behind."

  "They're here?" Captain Guan was startled. He quickly poked his head out the window to look back and saw four black police patrol cars appearing on the road behind them, chasing the convoy at high speed.

  "Change formation, attack!" Captain Guan decided immediately. The three armored vehicles, which had been traveling in a line, changed to move abreast. Gunners from the armored vehicles extended their bodies through the roof hatches, operating the machine guns mounted on the vehicles, and fired wildly at the four police cars behind them.

  With a "rat-tat-tat" sound, one police car was damaged under the machine gun fire, began smoking, and then exploded with a "boom," bursting into flames. These police patrol cars weren't equipped with long-range offensive weapons and couldn't deal with the rebels' armored vehicles. They slowed down and gradually moved away from the rebel convoy.

  "Hahaha, these guys aren't scary at all," A-Bing, beside Captain Guan, laughed loudly. He had just controlled the machine gun to destroy a police car and was extremely pleased with himself.

  "Rebels ahead, stop your vehicles and surrender immediately, or you will be executed without mercy!" Suddenly, a voice that seemed to come from a loudspeaker sounded from behind the rebel convoy. The three police cars pulled to the side of the road, and three purple metallic humanoid objects appeared on the road behind, rapidly pursuing the rebel convoy.

  "This is bad—Sanctuary's armored troopers!" Captain Guan's face changed, and with his words, obvious expressions of panic appeared on everyone else's faces.

  These humanoid objects were about two meters tall. Although humanoid in shape, they were completely covered in purple metal, looking like humans wearing heavy, fully enclosed metal armor.

  At the feet of these armored troopers were special devices that looked like wheels. The wheels rotated at high speed, providing propulsion for the armored suits, allowing the armored troopers to move at very fast speeds on the city roads, closely pursuing the rebels' vehicles.

  "Attack! Target these armored troopers with full force!" Captain Guan quickly ordered.

  The rebels seemed to greatly fear these armored troopers. Almost everyone took out their weapons, aiming guns through the windows and throwing grenades, attacking the three purple armored troopers behind them frantically.

  With crisp "clang" "clang" sounds, bullets hit the armored troopers, creating sparks. Then several grenades exploded violently around the armored troopers. However, the armor shells were extremely durable; bullets couldn't penetrate them. After a round of machine gun fire and grenade bombardment, the three armored troopers remained completely unharmed, still following closely behind the rebel convoy.

  "Damn it, these things are too hard! We can't break them!" A-Bing said in frustration, completely lacking his previous smugness.

  Captain Guan frowned deeply, muttering to himself: "This isn't good. The shells of these armored troopers are made of super alloy; bullets can't penetrate them. And the operators of the armored suits are all Refining body Ultra-capable individuals with immense strength who can reinforce their bodies to make their bones as hard as iron, able to withstand powerful impacts and vibrations. Even though there are only three, they're extremely difficult to deal with."

  "I refuse to believe we can't take them down," A-Bing said fiercely. He took out a rocket launcher, placed it on his shoulder, aimed at the three armored troopers, and fired a rocket. With a "boom," the rocket exploded on the ground less than ten meters from the three armored troopers. The powerful shock wave blew the three armored troopers several meters away, causing them to crash heavily to the ground.

  "Hah! So much for armored troopers—didn't I take them down?" A-Bing's face once again showed a smug smile. However, his smile lasted less than a few seconds before disappearing, because the three armored troopers got up from the ground almost immediately after falling and again pursued along the city roads.

  "Captain, what do we do now?" A-Bing couldn't smile anymore. He withdrew from the window and nervously asked Captain Guan.

  Captain Guan pondered, saying: "The armored troopers are Sanctuary's most advanced and powerful strategic weapons. They can each fight a hundred soldiers and rarely suffer defeat. I'm afraid we can't handle them. Their speed doesn't seem very fast—if we rely on speed, we should be faster..."

  At this point, Captain Guan took out the communicator and said loudly: "Everyone stop attacking! Full speed ahead! Let's shake them off!"

  Following Captain Guan's words, the three armored vehicles lined up in a row again, with Captain Guan's car in the middle. All three vehicles pushed to maximum power, moving at full speed.

  Suddenly, there were clear "bang" "bang" sounds, and six barbed steel cables were fired from the chests of the three armored troopers. Four of the cables hit the last armored vehicle, firmly hooking onto it.

  The cables automatically retracted, pulling the armored vehicle backward. The speed of two armored troopers increased dramatically, rushing toward the hooked armored vehicle like they were being launched. Meanwhile, the speed of the hooked armored vehicle decreased significantly, its wheels slipping and spinning in place as if stuck in a swamp.

  "Not good! They're in danger!" Captain Guan noticed the situation behind was dire and immediately ordered an attack on the two armored troopers. Numerous bullets shot at the armored troopers, but like before, all bullets were deflected, unable to penetrate the armored troopers' shells.

  Aided by the force of the retracting cables, it took only a few seconds for the two armored troopers to catch up to the last vehicle. They grabbed the armored vehicle's body with one hand, while raising their other arm high.

  A white light flashed, and two long, flat silver short swords appeared at the end of the armored troopers' arms. These short swords were about half a meter long, had no physical substance, and were completely composed of blue-white light.

  With a "swoosh," the two armored troopers swung their silver short swords, stabbing into the armored vehicle's body. The vehicle's body was pierced through by the silver swords as if made of wood. The silver swords slid quickly across the armored vehicle's body, emitting dazzling sparks. The vehicle's body was cut open like tofu, its roof directly torn off, exposing everyone inside.
