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

Chapter 230 The True Holy Father

"Boom! Boom!"

Continuous explosions continued to sound outside the walls of the imperial capital.

Under the operation of the first team, three 3 rocket launchers launched 107 smart-guided rockets in an instant with ultra-high accuracy and intensive firepower enough to destroy everything.

It was like a glowing iron chain connecting the artillery array and the city wall. When the bright iron chain burned out, the speed of the three-headed monster slowed down instantly.

But even so, the suppressive firepower still could not completely wipe out the three monsters.

They are too fast.

They are too smart and too flexible.

Realizing that the firepower from unknown locations could not accurately cover them, the three monsters immediately changed their strategy.

They quickly dispersed, running and jumping along the walls of the imperial capital.

With a height of nearly 5 meters and powerful muscle strength, the low city wall was not enough to form an obstacle, and even became a cover to block the direct shooting from the Chinese army.

The drone in the air had run out of ammunition and was forced to return to the convoy for resupply.

After losing the suppression of aerial firepower, the three-headed monster acted even more unscrupulously.

Chen Jian had adjusted the power of the exoskeleton to the maximum. He quickly returned to the direction of the Imperial Capital City. At this moment, a voice that did not belong to this battlefield suddenly came to his ears.

"Captain, I'm Zeng Yi!"

"Those three monsters look a lot like the level 2 monsters I've seen before, the Mandrills!"

"But they are definitely not in their perfect form, they should only be at level three!"

"You can't chase them! They have bloodthirsty instincts!"

"Just go where there are a lot of people, they'll bump into them!"

"understand!"

Chen Jian replied immediately, and then he gave the order:

"Everyone, spread out!"

"After entering the city, find a crowded area and wait!"

"These monsters are too fast. We can't catch up with them no matter what!"

"Let them do it themselves, we just need to stop them!"

"understand!"

At the command, the Holy Blood people who followed Chen Jian immediately dispersed and ran in different directions in the city.

At this time, Chen Jian was less than 300 meters away from the city wall, and there was no one behind him.

But that didn't slow him down.

He knew that if he could not arrive in time, the damage caused to the Imperial City and its civilians by these three monsters alone would be irreversible!

Must be fast!

The exoskeleton's motor was running wildly. Chen Jian unfolded the weapon rack behind him and rushed forward with a grenade launcher in hand.

When he was less than five meters away from the city wall, he suddenly jumped up, then stepped heavily on the city wall, and using the force to rush up again.

After a flip, Chen Jian had stepped onto the nearly 6-meter-high city wall.

At this moment, from the perspective of the drone, a monster had already rushed towards the civilians who were fleeing at the city gate.

Without any hesitation, Chen Jian raised the grenade launcher in his hand.

Only the fire control system could guide his arm after a moment.

"boom!"

The 15mm micro grenade flew out of the chamber and hit the monster's torso at an unavoidable speed.

An explosion sounded instantly, and fragments flew out, piercing deeply into the monster's muscles and bones.

Chen Jian originally thought that this shot would be enough to completely kill such a small monster.

But to his surprise, after being shot, the monster actually made a shrill hissing sound and staggered towards him!

The opponent is very fast.

The distance was less than 200 meters, leaving Chen Jian less than 3 seconds to react.

He pulled the trigger of the grenade launcher, and the huge recoil force transmitted through the exoskeleton nailed him firmly to the ground.

This is a duel of advance and no retreat. If Chen Jian cannot kill the opponent completely before it gets close, then he will face the same fate of being "split into two" as those civilians!

His heart was beating violently, but the hand holding the grenade launcher was calmer than ever before.

Grenade after grenade was fired, and the monster raised its arms to try to block the frontal attack, but even the hard chitinous armor plates could not withstand the terrifying power of modern firearms.

Time seemed to pass slowly.

Chen Jian watched helplessly as the exploding grenade peeled off the monster bit by bit.

The first thing to disappear was the long claws that were blocking its way. The broken pieces of armor were blown into the air and turned into dust and were blown away by the wind.

Next, its two front paws.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the monster's arms melted and fell off like a clay sculpture washed by a flood.

Finally, its trunk, its entrails, its skeleton.
When the monster fell down less than 30 meters away from Chen Jian with the inertia of its forward rush, only a bloody skeleton was left.

Chen Jian let out a long sigh, and without any pause turned the muzzle of the gun, pointing it at the monster that was leaping on the roof hundreds of meters away.
-
But it seems that he doesn't need to take action.

Li Shi, who was a little clumsy and lagged behind everyone else, finally arrived.

When the gunfire of the 301 heavy machine gun rang out, any so-called "flexible" and "high-speed" qualities became a joke.

He doesn't need to be precise.

Because as long as even one bullet hits the target, the continuous rain of bullets will be able to completely kill the monster on the spot.

Li Shi moved forward with heavy steps. The gun barrel, which had become hot and even red, was still spewing bullets.

And when he finally overcame numerous obstacles and faced the huge monster, the flesh and blood torn by bullets had already dyed the ground within dozens of meters red.

Only the last one remains.

The monster was being besieged by Xie Liu, Ji Xing and others.

A thrilling arc of light flashed by, and Chen Jian watched Xu He, who was described by Ji Xing as "a person with strength far exceeding that of ordinary Source Blood users", falling from a great height.

Split Huashan with all your strength!

The incongruous, classical and even a little excessive fighting style produced amazing results.

The long knife cut at an incredibly precise angle, leaving a long gap on the monster's chest.

Immediately afterwards, the Flight 201 guns in the hands of Xie Liu and Ji Xing sounded at the same time, and bullets penetrated straight into the cut gap.

In an instant, blood flowers burst out on the monster's back.

After a few seconds, as if unable to bear the weight of the bullet, the monster staggered and fell to the ground.

"Clear all!"

"I'm done here!"

Chen Jian's headset rang with reports from other teams, and in the distance, Lei Jie, who had successfully completed the interception mission, was also driving a 30A tank back to the rescue.
Smoke, explosions and fire.

Blood, poison gas and slime.

The imperial capital was in a mess both inside and outside the city walls.

When Chen Jian led his team to kill the last lone monster and returned to the city, what he saw was a crowd of people partying.

Everyone was celebrating this swift yet unexpected victory, and everyone was feeling fortunate that they did not have to leave their homeland.

But he knew clearly that this was not the end.

"There were only twelve monsters in the first wave, all of them were level four or lower."

"This is just a test. Even without our help, the Holy Blood Temple can still survive and save the imperial capital." "But the second wave of beasts is on its way."

"Those two monsters that are heading north from Ender City are part of the second or third wave of the beast tide."

"We can't afford to waste time, and we don't have the ability to keep this city here."

"Take me to see the Holy Father. I demand that everyone here retreat to the south immediately!"

As he followed Xie Yuan quickly towards the Holy Blood Temple, Chen Jian spoke in a hurried voice.

"clear."

Xie Yuan nodded immediately.

After the fierce battle, he put away his previous leisurely and polite attitude and instead showed a capable and decisive posture.

Such changes gave Chen Jian a little more confidence in these Holy Bloods. At least it was enough to show that they were not "rangers" who only knew how to take shortcuts, but warriors who could withstand high-intensity combat.

The two men moved forward, and the civilians and Holy Blood followers along the way paid tribute to this team that had descended like a savior.

Their faces were full of gratitude and respect, but Chen Jian didn't even look at them.

His brain was working rapidly as he was thinking about what strategy he should use in the next meeting to make the almighty Holy Father accept his advice.

But it was obvious that in such a hasty situation, he couldn't think of a better strategy.

Maybe just kill him?
Chen Jian's brows slowly frowned, and at this moment, the real "Holy Blood Temple" had appeared in front of him.

It was a building that was extremely ordinary.

It is square and has no unnecessary designs. The only thing that shows its "religious attributes" is the uniform color scheme on the exterior walls and the occasional simple wall paintings.

This is completely different from the complicated and gorgeous style of the Mechanicus.

But what is even more different is the style of that "Holy Father".

He stood outside the building in the center, quietly watching the team coming from afar.

When Xie Yuan led everyone to walk up to him and were about to salute him, he simply raised his hand to interrupt them.

Then, he spoke:
"Guests of the Huaxia Army, follow me."

"Everyone else, stay outside."

"Xu He, you stay too, don't come in."

After that, he turned and left.

Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, then he followed the man's steps, while the others followed closely behind him.

Xu He seemed to want to keep up, but in the face of the majesty of the Holy Father, he finally stopped.

Everyone walked into the room, and in the darkness, Chen Jian turned on the thermal imaging.

The "Holy Father" seemed to be very familiar with his residence. He moved forward steadily in the darkness, going deeper and deeper underground.

An empty echo sounded in the tunnel. Chen Jian wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to ask.

Perhaps, letting him speak first is the best option?

This thought flashed through his mind, and almost at the same time, the man walking in front spoke.

"I know what you're looking for here."

"You seek the truth about the Primarch."

"In fact, we are also pursuing the same truth, but we have never really found it."

"We don't know who created us, nor do we know what the true 'Father''s' intentions were when he created us."

"But we are very clear that we have an indelible mission."

"So now, come on."

"I have waited for you for too long."

"Now, let's fulfill our mission."

After saying this, the man stopped in front of a stone wall.

He pushed hard against the stone wall, and the brick wall, which was already fragile and had no adhesion at all, collapsed instantly.

Amidst a cloud of smoke and dust, the man walked in.

Chen Jian followed in, but the scene he saw made him freeze in place.

Huge passage.

A heavy isolation door is tightly closed in the distance.

He was all too familiar with this kind of scene.

001 fortifications.

He originally thought that after meeting this so-called "Holy Father", he would have to spend countless hours talking to get him to truly agree to cooperate with him.

But he never expected that he would actually bring himself directly to what was obviously the biggest secret of the Temple of the Sacred Blood.

How could this be the entrance to Fort 001?
The distance between the Imperial Capital Ruins and the Imperial Capital City is nearly 40 kilometers, so where is this place?
"Underground nuclear facilities."

Lei Jie on the side said:
"This is the entrance to the nuclear shelter, not the entrance to 001."

After he finished speaking, the man in front of him turned around and looked at him with a little confusion, then said with relief:

"I don't know what kind of fortification or treasure house this is."

"But I have guarded this fortification for too long."

"I have tried many ways to enter this treasure house, but I have never succeeded."

"And after you opened the treasure house of the Jinling Ruins, I knew that you were the ones I was looking for."

"You will definitely be able to open this fortification and uncover all the secrets."

“This is what I want.”

"Now, the adults of the Chinese Army."

"Open the treasure house."

"I don't know if the answer you seek is behind this door."

"But this is all I can do."

Having said this, the Holy Father stepped aside.

His expression was solemn, yet with a hint of relief.

Chen Jian took a step forward, stared into his eyes, and then asked:
"Do you know what's going on outside? Do you know that a tide of beasts is threatening the Imperial City?"

"I know."

The Holy Father nodded slowly, then said:
"The beast tide is irreversible. A short-term victory does not represent the final outcome."

"If the truth behind this is not revealed, this battle will never end."

"That's why I was so eager to bring you here."

"Because I know that this city is destined to be abandoned."

"And everything here should not be wasted before leaving."

"understood."

Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he asked:
"What exactly do you want to know? What is behind this door that is attracting you?"

The Holy Father stared at Chen Jian in silence for a long time, and finally spoke:
"I just want to confirm one thing."

"Are you our Holy Father?"
