Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 21 Giant Object
late at night.

The drone hovered quietly over Xiama Town. The fully armed team members were lurking in the woods outside the residential area of the town, closely watching the every move of the residents in the town through the images sent back by the drone through the smart eyepiece.

90% of the thermal imaging feature analysis has been completed, and all targets still active late at night have been marked.

In order to save power, high-power electromagnetic interference was not turned on. However, in this world where the electromagnetic environment is so clean that it is almost blank, electromagnetic control does not seem so important.

Chen Jian was holding He Shuo's QSW06 in his hand, while He Shuo had already occupied the commanding heights on the north side of the town, set up a 26 sniper rifle with a silencer, and quietly waited for Chen Jian's order.

His expression was originally a little doubtful, but when he noticed the heat sources beginning to converge in his sight, his doubt instantly turned into surprise.

"The target is gathering and continuing to move eastward along the eastern path."

"Captain, it's just like you said. They seem to be planning something."

Hearing his words, Chen Jian nodded subconsciously, and then replied:

"This Xiama Town must have some secrets."

"If they can produce 40 rounds of ammunition, they can definitely produce 400 rounds. This is a very basic judgment."

"With such a large amount of equipment, it's impossible not to attract attention."

"The Holy Bloods do not rely on firearms, so it is understandable that they abide by the rules of trade, but what about others?"

"The Mechanicus, the so-called hunters passing by, and the merchants with a certain level of strength cannot be fools."

"If these people think this town is profitable like we do, then how could they allow this town of only a hundred people to exist in this world? Just for a supply run?"

"This is the end of the world. It's not our modern society with rules and laws."

"The existence of Xiama Town itself is incredible, and what's even more incredible is that they can still do business."

"There's only one explanation that makes sense."

"Those who coveted them have been killed."

"The people here must have some hidden card that we don't know about. No matter what, we have to find it first!"

"clear."

"clear."

The other members of the team answered one by one, and Chen Jian continued to pay attention to the movement of the heat signal. After a moment, he opened his mouth and gave an order:

"The target has left the residential area, the vision is clear, and the conditions for tracking are ripe."

"Lei Jie, Shen Yue, go through the woods on the north and south sides and follow the target's direction."

"He Shuo, advance to the second sniper position, keep the firing range clear, and be ready for fire support at any time."

"receive."

At the command, everyone took action immediately.

Chen Jian set the drone to automatic tracking mode, then took off quietly, bypassing the sight of the sentries who were still on duty in the town, and crossed the entire town with incredibly precise routes, closely following the residents of Xiama Town who were moving along the path.

His speed was not fast, but compared to the residents who did not have any lighting equipment, his movements seemed easy.

Moving eastward, the residents being followed seemed to be completely unaware that there was a tail behind them and they were just busy trudging along the rugged path.

Chen Jian became more and more confused. Through the thermal fusion night vision goggles, he could clearly see the expressions of the residents not far ahead.

Is that a kind of excitement that is almost fanatical?
What are they excited about?
Chen Jian's hand was already on the trigger, ready to deal with any emergency.

But fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

After changing the tracking formation several times, the four members of the team successfully followed the residents up the mountain along the path.

After reaching the highest point, the residents also stopped on an open space. Less than 10 meters in front of them was the Baizhangyuan Reservoir that Chen Jian had marked before.

Chen Jian carefully changed his position and hid behind a huge rock beside the reservoir. He only relied on the drone's perspective to observe and no longer exposed himself.

At this time, the other team members also took their positions one by one. Just when the four of them were puzzled about the purpose of the residents, the residents of Xiama Town who had been silent all the way finally spoke.

".Do we really want to kill them all? There are four Holy Bloods over there!"

"It doesn't matter. No one will know it was us. This place is far away from Hanshui City, so the news can't get through!"

"That's not what I meant. I meant that those Holy Bloods just killed the monster in Chuansha City. They are very strong!"

"If they survive, we will"

"They can't survive! No one can survive!"

"But is it worth it? We have been stable for a long time." "It's definitely worth it! Didn't you see the weapons on those people? Those weapons are exactly the same as what we saw in the painting!"

"Those are treasures from before the Cataclysm. As long as we send them to the Mechanicus, we can leave here!"

"We no longer have to work for the Adeptus Mechanicus. Do you understand?"

"I understand, but"

"No buts! Do as I say!"

The quarrel gradually subsided. Chen Jian took a deep breath and prepared himself for battle.

Obviously, what these people want is the equipment of their own team.

The bait that was thrown down has been bitten by them.

They are about to reveal their final cards and expose their biggest secrets.

But what is this secret?
Chen Jian made a "continue waiting" gesture in front of the smart eyepiece, then leaned forward and aimed his gun at the villager closest to him.

He was not willing to kill indiscriminately, but when he had to, he would not hesitate.

After waiting for a while, the residents lined up and walked towards the lake.

What is this for?
Sacrifice?

Is there a monster hidden in this reservoir? ?
Chen Jian had a question mark on his mind. He wanted to shoot to interrupt it, but he was unwilling to let go of the answer that was right in front of him.

Information is always the most important thing, and in order to obtain it, sometimes you have to take certain risks.

A moment later, the residents reached the shore of the reservoir.

They gathered in groups and lifted the huge rocks on the shore.

"Boom-"

Water splashed and huge rocks sank into the water.

After a while, the calm water surface began to ripple.

Looking down from the drone's perspective, a huge shadow gradually emerged from the water.

"There is a situation."

Chen Jian whispered:
"There are monsters underwater. They are trying to wake them up. We have to interrupt them."

"Lei Jie, Shen Yue, move to the side to occupy an advantageous position."

"He Shuo, take cover and be ready to fire at any time."

"There's something wrong with these people, leave them alive!"

"understand!"

The others responded quickly, and Chen Jian quietly stood up and was about to raise his gun to fire, but at this moment, the environmental monitoring module on the eyepiece suddenly began to alarm.

"Oxygen low! Carbon dioxide high!"

"Oxygen low! Carbon dioxide high!"

Chen Jian's eyes narrowed.

He understood what these people were going to do.

There's carbon dioxide all under this reservoir!

This carbon dioxide is bubbling to the surface after being stirred up by something huge in the water.

It won't be long before the heavier-than-air gases pour down like a waterfall into the low-lying Xiama Town.

Those who are still in the town will inevitably die without knowing it.
-
Except for their own people.

Case solved.

It’s not that steel bullets are corrosion-resistant and not easy to rust, it’s that this town has been in a nearly oxygen-free environment for a long time!

Chen Jian took a deep breath and ordered:

"Free fire!"
