Chapter 1401 - Besiege

Chapter 1401: Besiege

The invisible blade cut open the mercenary’s throat, and through that momentary pause, everyone saw the transparent figure. However, when they wanted to focus their eyes and search for the person’s trace, he had disappeared again.

“Fu*k, it’s optical invisibility!” The mercenary with the automatic rifle screamed in horror, and hurriedly fired a clip of bullets toward where the man was. However, he did not hit the transparent figure, but instead almost shot another mercenary that was leaning against the door.

Fortunately, the guy reacted quickly, and he was able to escape the clip of bullets. Otherwise, it would be awkward to not die in the enemy’s hands, but by friendly fire.

“Idiot! Don’t just shoot, you almost hit me!”

“AHHHHH!!!”

Amidst the chaos, another mercenary had his throat slit open. He covered his neck in pain and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Like a deadly ghost, the flying dagger traced the curvature of death in the air. In just a few breaths, the man had already claimed the life of five mercenaries.

Even against Death Claws, these mercenaries had the courage to fight. However, against an invisible enemy, other than waiting for their inevitable death, they did not even know how to fight back.

The offensive to besiege the theater had completely came to a halt. When the sixth mercenary was pierced by a dagger, the mercenaries surrounding the front entrance of the theater finally collapsed. Due to their fear of death, completing the mission was no longer in their mind. Just like how swiftly they arrived, everyone fled out of the theater in horror.

With the defeat of the mercenaries who besieged the main entrance, Gerrard, who was hiding in the theatre, ordered his troops to blow up the last remaining passage to prevent mercenaries from rushing in from the safety entrance. Then, he took all his men out of the theatre and decided to rush out from the front entrance!

“These indigenous people!”

Zheng Shanghe looked at the defeated mercenaries with a look of disgust. He didn’t waste any time and pointed his right hand forward. The triangular-shaped barrels protruded from the armor on his forearm and whirred toward the front door.

The mercenaries attacking the front door had completely lost the courage to fight, and if he was the people inside, he would not miss this excellent opportunity to escape.

But at this moment, the omen of death suddenly shrouded him.

He increased the power of the vortex engine to the max and immediately yanked himself back.

Almost at the same time, a dagger swept past his previous position. There was a looming transparent figure. However, Zheng Shanhe could see it very clearly through the tactical eyepiece. It was similar to the K2 with an optical invisibility module!

“Fu*k!”

A drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, he retracted his minigun, pulled out the tactical rifle from his waist, and fired at the transparent figure.

The man seemed to know that he had been exposed and simply gave up sneaking around. He turned off the invisibility module, protruded his dagger forward, turned on the nitrogen shield, and rushed toward the muzzle. The bullets formed a beautiful arc and bounced away, and at the moment the nitrogen shield was overloaded, the man appeared in front of the power armor at the perfect time.

In front of the particle vibration dagger, even the composite armor of the armored vehicle was as vulnerable as thin paper, let alone the grade-C steel of the T-3 power armor

The dagger that slashed through air was aimed directly at Zheng Shanhe’s throat.

“You are not wronged if you die in my hands.” Like death’s whisper, that man’s voice drifted in the air, with a hint of laughter in his tone.

“Haha, it’s not always certain who will die!”

Zheng Shanhe did not dodge or block. He raised his rifle and slammed it into the man’s face.

Although this fierce blow failed to hit the man, it forced the dagger that was aiming at his throat to move away. Taking advantage of this short gap while the man dodged, Zheng Shanhe leaped up suddenly, and at the same time raised the output power of the vortex engine to the limit. He took off like a rocket into the air.

The thermal grenade launcher in the left hand and the minigun in the right hand rapidly turned as he firmly locked onto the figure on the ground!

The man’s pupils suddenly constricted when he watched Zheng Shanhe leap into the air. He was about to dodge to the side, but unfortunately, there was only empty ground next to him without any cover.

“GO TO HELL!” Zheng Shanhe sneered at the man and pulled his triggers.

“NOOOO!”

Grenades and bullets splashed down like a waterfall, and the firepower of the entire power armor was unleashed in an instant. The scorching airwave even blew the cement debris up twenty meters into the air. When the dust dispersed, only the fragmented ground and scorched earth was what remained…

…

“FU*K! THESE YELLOW MONKEYS, I WILL KILL THEM SOONER OR LATER!”

Gerrard managed to escape from the movie theater. He took the remaining two soldiers and fled towards the evacuation point.

He encountered a power armor when they were evacuating. If Warrant Officer Harvey hadn’t sacrificed himself to stop the power armor, it would be hard to say whether they could escape.

Gerrard glanced back, after he was convinced that no one chased him here, he took out a signal flare, unscrewed the seal, and threw it on the street. Soon the green flames lit up and guided the course of the helicopter hovering at a high altitude.

Supported by two clusters of flame, a streamlined-looking helicopter slowly emerged.

When Gerrard saw the helicopter arriving as scheduled, he was finally relieved.

As long as he could withdraw to the ocean, he would be completely safe.

When he heard the explosion, Warrant Officer Harvey had likely suffered an unfortunate fate. He didn’t plan to wait any longer and decided to leave immediately after he boarded. Although he had predicted the firepower of the NAC, he still did not expect that they would suddenly become so smart and discover that Gris had been instigated…

The helicopter hovered above the street and began to descend.

Gerrard led the people to the landing point. However, at this moment, an orange trajectory suddenly struck from the side and hit the helicopter directly.

The fragile armor broke inch by inch, and the high-speed kinetic energy warhead directly pierced the helicopter. The entire helicopter was like a fly struck by a fly swatter, the out-of-control engine carried the helicopter and sent it into the building on the next street. Reinforced concrete was chopped out by the blades like tofu, as they were scattered out onto the street.

“FU*K!”

Gerrard cursed in anger, then he took his soldiers and fled into the nearby mall.

Without a doubt, the strike obviously came from an electromagnetic pulse cannon!

What frightened him the most was that they were exposed to the muzzle of the electromagnetic pulse cannon!

…

“A direct hit.”

On the roof of the building five hundred meters away, the six-meter-long type-57 electromagnetic pulse cannon was just like a lance that pointed at the street where the helicopter crashed. In his N-100 power armor, Jiang Chen sneered as he watched the three people who fled into the mall.

“You want to escape?”

If he didn’t want to keep a few alive to get information, they would not have survived till now.

The steel supports anchored to the ground were retracted and Jiang Chen threw the electromagnetic pulse cannon back into the storage dimension. Then, he took the tactical rifle from his waist and stepped outside the building.

The eerie blue flame glimmered, and immediately before it touched the ground, it stopped the downward power armor that was falling at high speed. After he confirmed the location of the fleeing people with a drone, Jiang Chen turned on the sliding wheels on the bottom of his armor and chased after the targets.
