Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 540: Fighting against each other (4K)

No unnecessary nonsense.

Compared to the company's armed forces that have undergone formal training, the complicated backgrounds of the members of the Enlightened have made them act in a less disciplined and undisciplined style. However, discipline and combat quality are never completely the same. After Song Shi finished speaking, everyone present realized that a tough battle was about to come, and quickly found teammates and divided the work to cooperate.

Some are thinking about how to last longer.

Some are also thinking about how to achieve further results.

——Is there anyone who is undefeated in this world?

Then, at twelve minutes, the first team was born and came up with a move.

Song Shi tried to find the other party's file from the thick information on the data board within one second. Seeing this, Xia Le immediately introduced him.

The mercenary team, "Ruby", has a certain reputation and is considered to be a second-tier team. They are good at attacking and fighting in complex environments, and their team style tends to be fire suppression and frontal combat.

The team leader is called "Blood Diamond", a well-proportioned and strong middle-aged man. Due to his moral standards that are obviously inconsistent with his title, he has had some pleasant cooperation with the Enlightened Ones. This time, he was attracted by the generous contract of [Jiuyu Defense] and led the team to join.

According to him, he would retire after finishing the job of Jiuyu Defense and go home to get married, uh, and be with his daughter.

Song Shi evaluated and found that this mercenary group was indeed quite strong.

In addition to Blood Diamond himself, who is at the second ring [Transcendence], there are two third-level units among the remaining fifteen members of the team - armed personnel whose combat power is comparable to that of second-ring psychics.

And eight second-level units, which are the standard combat strength of special forces members in the general sense, or first-ring psychics who are good at fighting.

However, having said that, first-level psychics only have so much psychic energy and psychic skills. If they rely purely on psychic energy without the help of external forces, they will usually be beaten into a cripple by the second-level cyborg musclemen.

Then, this "Ruby" went down to set up the battlefield.

Then, twenty minutes later, Song Shi was off the court.

The fierce frost wind wanted to smash people to pieces. Under the artificial skylight, the temperature of the training ground had quickly dropped to minus 25 degrees Celsius. It was as if the endless frost and snow had blended together, turning into a gloomy and dark world.

It’s like going back to the City of Forged Light a few years ago.

“It’s a bit cold.”

Song Shi watched the white mist solidify into dust before his eyes and then suddenly disappear.

"First, close Liuli Temple."

blinked.

"Emperor's Flowing Blood and Destruction of Calamity cannot be used either. Maintain the state at the peak of the second ring."

Think about it for a while.

"Forget it, let's ban the [Fire] as well. Otherwise, something bad might happen."

He stepped on the ground beneath his feet.

"Well, why don't we use [Render] and [Pillar Burn]?" Song Shi stroked Zhongshi and made a decisive decision: "We don't need [Pillar Burn] either. It will be difficult to deal with if a large area of ​​the training ground is burned through. [Scorched Earth] and [Render] are enough for the time being."

In an instant, Song Shi slashed out fiercely, and a large hole appeared in the wall four meters away. Then there was a loud noise, and deep in the hole, a deformed bullet was embedded.

The first attack of "Ruby" began, long-range sniping!
Three hundred and fifty meters away, inside a tall building, the sniper let out a light click, picked up his sniper rifle without hesitation, rolled into the depths of the room, and ran towards the predetermined evacuation route. A breath later, a ball of fire hit the room, and the exploding flames ignited even the steel and concrete, destroying them into ashes.

Psionic Art: The power of [Embers].

"The target is approaching at high speed!"

The scout who had released the cruise drone in advance shouted in the channel of the tactical headset.

"Wait. Damn it! My drone was shot down!" The next moment, the investigator's tone suddenly changed: "No! Boss——"

His voice was suddenly drowned out by another.

"Execute the second plan! Follow me and force the target into the ambush path!"

The leader of the Ruby Mercenary Group, Blood Diamond, roared and suddenly jumped out from the third floor. Around him, the glass windows of a room in the two buildings also shattered, and figures rushed out!

Including him, the three third-level units of the mercenary group are out in full force!

——But they know that the outcome is not in their hands.

The remaining members were responsible for long-range fire cover and set up an ambush on a path. Their role was to block the enemy head-on and force them to the ambush route little by little.

As the undisputed strongest of the mercenary group, Blood Diamond fired a series of reduced-yield grenades with one hand, while the other hand pulled out a single-molecule sword. The latter was linked to the prosthesis, the power supply circuit was activated, and the blade edge instantly turned red and entered a hot-melt state.

The three of them held one direction each, and the tough guy rushed towards the oncoming flaming shadow! Bullets rained down from behind him, roaring with the help of the intelligent aiming system.

Then there is no more then.

Three breaths.

In the first breath, the other party opened up the scorched earth, and the originally frosty and frozen world suddenly fell into purgatory. The sudden change of the environment caused the three people's originally skillful and tacit cooperation to deviate to varying degrees.

As a seasoned mercenary who had experienced hundreds of battles, this deviation was not a big deal, but when it was magnified to three times, it was quite fatal.

In the second breath, Song Shi dragged Zhong Shi, and in the roaring red flames, he broke through the defenses of the other two at the same time, making them temporarily lose their combat effectiveness.

In the third breath, Blood Diamond blocked the first attack and activated his best psychic skill [Overload] without hesitation. However, this only allowed him to block two more attacks before he was quickly defeated.

After that, it was a horrific scene. The remaining people couldn't even take a single blow and were forced to disperse and fight on their own. They held on for a while before they were all defeated.

"I feel like there's nothing much to say."

Song Shi shook his head and casually took back the flames crawling on the training ground. Even if he intentionally suppressed the psychic power, the psychic flame could not be extinguished by Frost and Snow in a short time.

"Tactics, experience, and coordination are all OK. The downside is that it's a bit mediocre. Although strictly speaking, it can't be considered a downside."

Song Shi pondered for a few seconds and made a comment.

The Ruby's men looked embarrassed, but they were actually not seriously injured. They looked at each other, and Blood Diamond spoke up, "As expected of Nan Dou, we are convinced of our defeat."

The investigator took back his drone, stared at it for a few seconds, and twitched his lips. What he wanted to say was that the other party only shot down the drone, but the destructive power was limited to shooting it down, without causing any extra damage.

Why would such an outrageous thing happen?
"Next team, continue."

Next to the viewing platform of the training ground.

".Is there any explanation?"

The young man in the windbreaker whispered to the man with the skull mask next to him.

"none."

The skull mask said it succinctly. "It's not easy to beat them." Another teammate stared at the training ground, motionless: "Damn, the opponent is too strong. Can a psychic be this strong?"

"The intensity is probably higher than you think."

The young man in the windbreaker, who called himself "No. 5", stared at them intently - as per convention, almost everyone chose to call each other by code names.

"I have carefully read Nandou, uh, the president's information. Did you see it? He said that he had suppressed it to the peak of the second ring, but in fact, there are several second-ring psychic skills that have not been used. It is hard to say whether they were banned or they think it is not necessary for the time being. But there is no doubt that his combat power has room for improvement."

"Secondly, pay attention to the environment, the ice and snow. Yes, we all know that freezing weather makes it inconvenient to move around, but for a [Dayuan], especially a [Dayuan] of 'Fire', the constraints he faces are definitely greater than ours."

"Finally, he didn't have a prosthetic implant, so we couldn't take advantage of our electronic warfare."

The skull mask spoke: "He chose the environment himself."

"Yes, that's what I want to say." Number Five spoke at a moderate pace: "He did it on purpose. He thought his normal combat power was too high, so he imposed some restrictions on himself."

"But, it seems to be useless." Another voice joined the discussion. It was codenamed "Gold Coin". It was a short female who looked to be about 18 or 19 years old. "Is it possible that our boss is still invincible?"

In the training ground, the rapid and brief sound of gunfire was quickly swallowed up by the criss-crossing fire.

"Yes, I know. So we can never be his opponent if we use conventional tactics." Number Five paused and said, "Even if we triple or quadruple the number of people in our team, I'm afraid we will still be killed."

"Well, if I remember correctly." Jinbi said with a frown: "Our test standard is 'lasting for a period of time', right?"

"Are you willing?"

The rhetorical question choked the gold coin.

Number Five clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of the rest of the team.

"Everyone, I have an idea, maybe it will work."

Twenty-five minutes later.

"——Next team."

Song Shi sat cross-legged on the rooftop of a building, with it as the center. Even though he hadn't launched the [Scorched Earth] yet, it seemed as if an invisible field had risen up, with surging heat that firmly isolated the howling cold wind.

He waited calmly for twenty minutes.

"coming."

The next moment, Song Shi disappeared from the spot. The place where he had originally landed was penetrated by a blue beam with a sizzling sound. The high-temperature laser left a striking track in the air, which was the trace of the frost and snow melting instantly.

It just didn't hit.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of bright bullets shattered the air and roared towards Song Shi. Under the cover of the fire coverage network, several guns were tightly locked on Song Shi, not moving.

"Suppressive fire, combined with precision shooting. A classic tactic that can't go wrong, but it doesn't make much sense."

Song Shi suddenly entered a high-speed maneuvering state.

In the second environment, compared with mechanically driven prosthetic limbs, Song Shi’s absolute speed is at a disadvantage without psychic skills such as [Soaring to the Sky] to make up for it, and he is unable to avoid all attacks.

However, with the [Scorched Earth] defense, most of the bullets could only create ripples, and the few that broke through were also weakened by the scorched earth and could be blocked with a random slash. In the eyes of everyone, the overwhelming barrage of bullets exploded into ashes the moment they touched Song Shi's body.

It was not until someone lifted the felt cloth and carried out a single-soldier heavy howitzer that Song Shi became a little serious.

This time he didn't take it head-on. The heavy killer suddenly turned into a flame blade, which suddenly extended ten meters and cut off the howitzer in mid-air. The huge impact force shook, but it was not within the core killing radius, so it could only slow down Song Shi's steps a little.

Following closely behind, a burly man holding a battering axe rushed over with a roar. The battering axe was as tall as a man, but it was as light as a feather in the burly man's huge prosthetic arm, which was comparable to that of a silverback gorilla. It just grazed past it and shattered large chunks of the wall of the house on the street.

A total of five people engaged in close combat.

Song Shi dodged the impact axe that was coming at him on the head, and he couldn't take the powerful chop head-on. At the moment when he was about to counterattack, the roar of a large-caliber shotgun came from behind him, forcing the young man to give up the attack.

The advantage is that the execution is very good. Although it is the first time to cooperate, it is also very seamless. This tactic of first suppressing with firepower, then engaging in close combat, and the gunner looking for opportunities in the medium distance has been used by several teams before.

Song Shi thought casually, drew his blade and chopped it down, causing a wave of fire to spread out and force everyone back.

But that’s all. When the hard power is insufficient and the tactics are the same, even if the cooperation is perfect, the situation cannot be reversed.

At best, more tenacious.

——Qiang!

The raging sea of ​​fire was pierced by the heavy murder. At this moment when everyone was retreating, Song Shi slashed at the nearest person. The opponent only had time to raise his weapon before he suddenly fell backwards, with burn marks all over his body.

When one person left the field, the encirclement that was barely maintained suddenly loosened. The others felt like they were facing a tiger full of steroids, who could tear them apart with just a swing or a hit, and they couldn't resist at all.

Damn it. Those corporate dogs used to fight monsters like this?!
However, thoughts cannot stop reality.

Fifteen seconds later, the last person left the stage.

"The encirclement tactic has failed. The next step is to disperse and try to delay time."

The sound of gunfire that had been ringing around stopped at some point.

Song Shi snapped his fingers and extinguished the flames on the close combatants on the ground. The moment they realized that their companions had failed, the gunmen responsible for mid-range and long-range suppression decisively went their separate ways.

The next moment, Song Shi turned into a streak of fire and rushed through the street.

Came so fast!

The inductive mine behind him was triggered, and the explosion was torn apart by even more terrifying flames just as it rose, and a strong sense of oppression came over him. The gunman did not hesitate, and drew out his pistol with such skill that it was almost instinctive - it had an external muzzle that enhanced its lethality.

boom!
The round tungsten steel armor-piercing bullet barely grazed the young man's flying hair. Immediately afterwards, even the heavy killing did not need to be swung, and the five fingers enlarged in the pupils of the gunman until they pressed on his throat and pressed into the ground at once, even dragging a long trajectory due to the kinetic energy.

"Exit."

Song Shi let go of his hand, patted the other person's shoulder, picked up the heavy weapon again, and continued to charge forward.

One, two, three.
On the multi-angle screens in the viewing platform, the members of this team quickly left the stage one after another.

"Well there's one hidden in here too."

Song Shi stopped and glanced at the factory not far away.

The scale of this simulated factory was not large. Song Shi walked into the factory, and his muffled footsteps echoed in the space. Almost the moment he stepped into the center, a clear ticking sound suddenly rang out in the quiet environment.

A feast of bombs that have been carefully disguised since the beginning.

it has started.
