Chapter 130: Kindling
“Hit!”
The thick armor on the armored train dented inward, and the areas repeatedly hit by grenades also developed cracks.
The high temperature turned the soft glass inside into liquid, slowly seeping out from the gaps, but when blown by the cold wind outside, it turned solid again.
Like repair liquid flowing out from the body of the train.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tie and the others had already used the explosion as cover to charge into the twenty-meter range of the train!
Scattered raindrops were forced to slant by the wind pressure, accumulating together to form faintly visible streamline rain shields.
Zhang Tie’s complexion was ferocious and ruthless; almost instantly, he locked onto Su Huan in the carriage.
As well as that damn smile on his lips!
“Sizzle——”
Without warning, a field of dancing electric arcs centered on the train spread wildly in all directions, like a piece of dark blue blanket laid under the feet of the visitors.
“Bang!”
Zhang Tie raised his military boots and unhesitatingly stepped into the blue domain.
His eyes carried mocking playfulness.
Su Huan’s ability had long been reported to the Steel Council, so they naturally had countermeasures. The twenty of them were all wearing the latest insulating materials, which even high-voltage electricity couldn’t penetrate.
But at such a close distance, no matter how powerful the bulletproof glass was, it couldn’t withstand the dense sweeping fire of a light machine gun!
He raised the light machine gun in his hand, aimed at Su Huan’s position, and began pulling the trigger.
Click——
Zhang Tie was stunned;
Jammed?
The touch feedback from the trigger under his finger didn’t feel right either. What was going on!
His fingertips increased the force, and with a click, the trigger was directly pressed off.
He subconsciously lowered his head to check, but his pupils suddenly contracted.
The metal firearm in his fingertips suddenly transformed like a mutated monster, changing madly.
The grip part suddenly turned into a metal spike, viciously piercing through his palm, then the extending metal directly stabbed toward his waist.
“What ability is this?!’
Feeling the piercing pain transmitted from his palm, Zhang Tie was utterly terrified in his heart, and reflexively flung the light machine gun in his hand away.
The spikes cut through flesh and blood, nearly severing both his palms, but even with such a swift reaction, blood still appeared at his waist.
The metal also didn’t touch the ground, floating in mid-air, madly extending countless spikes toward his vital points.
“Pa pa pa…”
Suddenly, rhythmic three-round bursts from an assault rifle came from the upper carriage.
Zhang Tie suddenly crouched down, sliding madly across the ground like a nimble catfish, barely dodging the vast majority of bullets.
The few rare shots also hit the bulletproof vest.
The mutation happened in an instant. Ordinary people couldn’t see the intricacies within, only blue light flashing, blood splattering, and irregularly rolling figures.
Zhang Tie glanced at his teammate who had charged up with him during the gap in dodging.
The Black Sheep, who usually loved precise shooting the most, had his head directly pierced by the assault rifle, with that expensive scope penetrating deep from his eye socket and extending out from the back of his skull.
Another assault trooper had his neck pierced by the spike extending from the firearm.
A pair of eyes covered in blood was staring in his direction, with bloody bubbles coming from its mouth.
Zhang Tie felt a chill in his heart watching it.
In that split second, two of the four people charging with him died, one was seriously injured, and one was lightly injured!
Including him, all of them had completely lost their combat power!
If it weren’t for the fact that his light machine gun didn’t require a scope and could be fired from the hip, he wouldn’t have escaped the fate of getting his head pierced by the scope either.
Even if one’s reaction is ever so fast, who could have thought that the weapon in their hand would mutate?!
“Cao! My gun is stabbing me!”
“The opponent has an evolver who can control firearms, no, it’s metal, metal!”
The severely injured Assault Trooper roared.
Zhang Tie suddenly reacted, keeping about two meters distance from the train while dodging the bullets fired from the carriage, then enduring the intense pain and throwing off all the metal equipment on his body.
“So eager to burst equipment already?”
A mocking voice came from overhead.
As soon as Zhang Tie looked up, he saw Su Huan poking his head out from the second-floor carriage. Heaven and earth were evenly divided in half—one half was the dark green and cold armored train, the other half was the sky dense with gloomy clouds. The young man stuck his head out from the carriage, breaking this balanced world. His broken hair was blown into disarray by the wind, and his face bore a bright smile, like that Prometheus who disrupted the world’s fixed order.
He handed him a surging, burning—Fire Spear.
“Boom!”
Su Huan shrank back his head and reached out to scratch the long hair in front of his forehead that had been scorched crooked.
The broken hair on this spot really suffered today.
Because it grew too long, it was shot by bullets and roasted by fire.
Pull up the window.
“Bang bang!”
Two delayed explosions rang out; they were probably the two grenades that had accidentally fallen when he had leaned out earlier to pass the kindling and were now detonated.
“Tsk, sorry about that. Next time, I’ll definitely remember to check the safety.”
Su Huan looked at the attack helicopter outside the window and said.
Without caring if the other party could hear.
Ten kilometers away, Li Tao on the helicopter put down the telescope in his hand, his complexion gloomy as if water could drip from it, but he couldn’t hear.
But he could see it.
He saw Zhang Tie leading a few people who had just approached the train when they were disarmed. With his full strength only able to exert one or two tenths, he was then shredded under the train by relentless bombardment.
That idiot who thought he had evolved and became arrogant and overbearing was directly roasted into a dried corpse by someone!
But no matter how stupid he is, he is still a Tier 1 Evolver cultivated by the Steel Council!
Those were not survivors who luckily evolved, but Evolver soldiers selected through long-term rigorous training, future officer seeds, and strong candidates for advancing to Tier 2!
Such talent that was cultivated at such a great cost is now taken out by someone like a dead dog, and all it cost was just a few bullets and two grenades.
Although Li Tao’s heart had already sunk to the bottom, he still took out the notebook and recorded the armored train’s performance one by one.
Especially that metal manipulation type evolver from the tactical squad who completely counters them.
It’s simply the perfect counter to the Steel Conference!
No!
To be precise, he counters all firearms, as well as evolver related to firearms.
Without his firearm, Zhang Tie was just like a piece of wood that was a bit stronger, reacted a bit faster, and… was a bit more heat-resistant.
But Li Tao and the Li Family behind him already had no way out.
The New City Plan has already begun. The result is only two options: either complete it or shelve it.
This is not like those projects from the previous life that can be shelved for later discussion.
The apocalypse hasn’t been shelved; there is only death and failure.
“Issue new order, mission objective changed, avoid direct combat, conduct long-distance interception and harassment, primarily to delay the target from entering Changli County!”
……
Seeing this scene were not only Li Tao, but also He Jie on the train.
That lightly wounded firepower specialist was taken out by one burst from him.
After understanding Xiao Ba’s ability during this time, he knew how the white dog and the others died.
But witnessing Zhang Tie’s tragic state with his own eyes, even He Jie’s thick-skinned big heart silently mourned for three seconds for Xiao Ba and the other four.
If he were killed by real guns and bullets, that would be acceptable.
As a result, not only did the gun in his hand become a fire poker, but it also hit himself!
This is fucking frustrating.
Last time it was the same for me too—first crashing the train and killing one, then getting hit head-on at the armory, and later getting pinned down like rats by the sniper rifle.
Although the scenario is different, the result is about the same, frustrating from start to finish.
Later, he carefully reviewed that battle and found that Su Huan didn’t have many tactics, but each one was used perfectly.
It’s just that disgusting feeling of accidentally swallowing a fly.
Fortunately, this time he stood on Su Huan’s side.
Even He Jie himself hadn’t noticed that a deep-seated fear had crept into his emotions toward Su Huan.
