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

Chapter 265 First Handshake

on the ground.

When the second bomb fell, only the last of the four giant monsters besieging Hanshui City was left.

Although Lei Jie no longer pursued a "frontal hit", the bomb that fell between the two monsters still shattered the monster's internal organs with its unparalleled overpressure, and the flying fragments cut into the monster's muscles and bones like cutting tofu, causing it to become disabled instantly.

The Holy Bloods and the Mechanicus Crusaders, who finally got a chance to catch their breath, rushed forward and completely destroyed the monster in a very short time.

As for the last remaining Blade Beast?

Of course, the defenders, who were furious, would not let it go. The few remaining mercenaries even rushed forward directly, wanting to get this last victory record in exchange for a ticket to enter the new city of Jinling.

The battle was over within half an hour. On the devastated battlefield, the blood-stained soldiers looked around with their weapons in hand, but they could no longer find a target for them to pull the trigger.

"We won?"

Someone asked, stuttering.

“We won the battle”

"That should be it? The monsters are gone."

"It's not gone, it's dead."

"It is the angel of the Most Holy Trinity who has come!"

"They brought down the hammer of divine punishment. We were saved."

"What now? What should we do now?"

"I wonder what about the bishops, priests, bishops, priests?"

Everyone subconsciously looked for Li Xian's location, and at this time, he was being pulled up from the ground by Zhou Qin while being buried under thick loose soil.

"Cough cough."

"Pooh."

Li Xian spat out the dirt in his mouth. Amid the huge ringing in his ears, he saw Zhou Qin opening his mouth and saying something to him, but he could hear nothing.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

He knew that Hanshui City must have been defended.

He saw the angel split the Yangtze River and the monster in it into two, and he also saw it swooping down on the remaining monsters.

At the last moment when the Crusader Army was organizing their evacuation, a huge shock wave threw him away, knocked him unconscious, and then buried him in the flying dust.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, he didn't even know if he could survive.

The severe pain in his chest made all the muscles twitch, but his emotions were more excited than ever before.

Angels really came to rescue us.

The "rescue" promised by the Chinese Army was indeed not just sending a group of mercenaries.

They sent angels!
Although it is obvious that this angel is weaker than the one who cast the Sword of Heavenly Punishment in Jinling City in the legend, even so, the power it displays is still unmatched by any monster.

Hanshui City is saved.

Humanity is saved.

When the angels fly over this earth again in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, all heresies will be reduced to ashes in the wrath of the Most Holy Trinity!
Li Xian knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to the sky.

At this moment, he completely forgot, or let go of, his differences with the Chinese Army.

No matter what they believe in, no matter how different they are from us, the fact that they can drive angels is enough to prove that they are by no means heretics who are hostile to mankind.

Perhaps, this is just an alternative form of redemption?
Perhaps, they were born to correct some distorted doctrines?
Li Xian felt like he had received a revelation.

Although now, he could not understand the true meaning of the revelation.

But there is no doubt that he will no longer be confused.

At this time, hearing has gradually recovered.

He heard Zhou Qin shouting to him:

"All the monsters have been destroyed! We've held on!"

"I know!"

Li Xian shouted in reply, and then continued:
"That's an angel!"

".That's not an angel. The Chinese military said it was an airplane."

"Yes, it's an angel!"

A look of pride emerged on Li Xian's face. He didn't hear Zhou Qin's words at all. He only noticed the word "angel" in the other party's series of sentences.

".If you say so, then so be it."

Zhou Qin shook his head helplessly, then asked:
"What now? Where do we go?"

"Gather the residents! Let them return to Hanshui City!"

"Maybe the monster will come again! We have to be prepared!"

"Don't worry, the angel will come again!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Qin replied loudly, and then immediately gave the order to gather the troops.

The Crusaders who were still able to move began to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded, and those civilians who had not yet had time to evacuate joined them.

After seeing the miracle performed by the angel, everyone gave up the idea of evacuating.

After all, as Li Xian said, the angel will come again.

If it comes once, it will come a second time!

The Most Holy Trinity has never given up on His people, and now there is irrefutable proof of His mercy!
The united people burst out with tremendous cohesion, the wounded were quickly gathered together, and the pharmacists and doctors of the Basilica of the Holy Blood used various methods to try to save their lives.

Bonfires were lit everywhere, and when night fell, this weather-beaten city had returned to its former order.
-
However, everywhere you look up you see is still devastation.

But a new life might be accompanied by pain, right?
Li Xian's hearing has fully recovered and he luckily survived the bomb explosion.

When he used the radio to confirm to the Chinese army again that "support will continue", his heart was finally at ease.

Looking at the twinkling lights in the city, he said to Zhou Qin who was cleaning the wound on his left arm:
“This city has become different”

“We are different now”

"Didn't you notice?"

"I found it."

Zhou Qin nodded, wrapped the bandages around and around, then stopped as if he had thought of something.

"I heard from the doctor of the Huaxia Army that it is not necessary to wrap a bandage after an injury, as it may lead to 'anaerobic infection'."

"That's the word, anyway—we've never heard of anything like it before."

"But they may be right. They have saved many more people than we have."

"really."

Li Xian sighed deeply, and then said:
“This may be the first time we have truly put aside our prejudices and sat together.”

“I never thought that one day, the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanicus Church would cooperate in this way.”

"In fact, we are not that different in nature, right?"

".That's my problem too."

Zhou Qin raised his head thoughtfully, then said:

"What exactly caused the rift between us? I have been wondering, is it true that what the Holy Blood Temple pursues is incompatible with what the Mechanicus pursues?"

"Now I understand that it's not that the two are incompatible, but that limited resources force us to choose one or the other."

"The Huaxia Army seems to be changing all this. Although their original intention was not to do so, it is true."

“They made us more united.”

"Yes."

Li Xian nodded slowly.

"Anyway, we got through the first round of the crisis."

"But the battle is not over yet."

"Come on, the battlefield is right in front of us." As he said that, Li Xian stretched out his hand to Zhou Qin.

The two hands were clasped together. This was the first sincere handshake between the Holy Blood Man and the Mechanicus priest.

Inside the 011 base.

The Mosquito bomber returned and landed successfully. Lei Jie climbed out of the cockpit with difficulty, while moving his hands and feet, and complained:

“This plane is terrible!”

"The wing structure was not riveted firmly and it was shaking during high-overload flight, but fortunately it did not break."

"It's really uncomfortable without an air conditioning system. It's so cold that I'm freezing!"

"There are problems with engine coordination, the flight control is not adjusted properly, and the power output of the four engines is unbalanced, which increases the difficulty of control."

"The hydraulic system is unresponsive. This needs to be re-adjusted."

"The landing gear is too hard. It can barely cope with it now, but if it lands with a lot of weight, it will probably directly crack the cabin structure."

“It’s all problems, all problems.”

"Will there be enough time to modify the next one? If there is time, modify it now."

"That's too late."

Chen Jian walked towards him and answered:

"They have already entered the production process, let's move on to the next one."

"I just want to ask you, can this thing fly? Can it be used as a makeshift device?"

“That’s just too good.”

Lei Jie clicked his tongue twice, then said:
"To be honest, it can still meet the most basic functional requirements."

"Anyway, what we want is to be able to fly and drop bombs."

"I've tested it. The maximum load can be increased. It can carry up to three 3kg bombs."

"But then it won't have any maneuverability, and it will be shaky when it flies."

"This is an extreme strategy, and it should not be adopted unless necessary."

"I understand. That's enough."

Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction, then asked;
"So what's the situation in Hanshui City?"

"ended."

Speaking of this, Lei Jie's mood, which was ruined by this "half-finished bomber", finally improved.

"The level 3 monster didn't even take a single hit - it was just a direct hit."

"If it was a close-range bomb, I'd estimate it would take one or two rounds."

"Within 150 meters, a level monster will be knocked down with one shot. Although it won't kill you instantly, it will definitely disable you."

"If we extrapolate based on this efficiency, we can take down the entire world with just over ten bombers."

"The only problem is that we don't have enough bombs."

"That doesn't matter much."

As Chen Jian led Lei Jie towards the main passage of Fortification 011, he replied:

"The first barrel of ammonia has already come out, and the nitric acid will only take two or three days."

"With nitric acid, it's easy to make some high-performance explosives."

"What kind of technological content can an iron bomb have? If the Ring Chamber of Commerce doesn't have it, then we can just make it ourselves."

"Okay, bring more, some cluster bombs"

The two men looked relaxed. This "easy" victory gave them greater confidence in the development of the Air Force. They even began planning to build a more "advanced" ground attack aircraft.

They were still not satisfied with the existing force, but in contrast, Jin Zhong, who saw Lei Jie get off the plane with his own eyes, was completely shocked by this incomprehensible scene and was speechless.

He silently looked at the plane, and at the Chinese soldiers and ordinary residents in the 011 base who gathered around the plane to watch the excitement.

He also wanted to go over and touch it and take a look at it, but he was reserved about his status and did not allow himself to show his curiosity about that wonderful creation.

So he could only stand there and look from afar.

When Chen Jian and the other person passed by him, Chen Jian noticed his expression keenly.

"what happened?"

Chen Jian asked:
"Want to go and have a look? Your teammates should want to have a look too, right?"

"You're welcome - just don't break it."

"I"

Jin Zhong was speechless for a moment.

"No, forget it."

"You're not interested?"

Chen Jian stopped and asked curiously.

"no."

Jin Zhong hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, and asked:
"Has the crisis in Hanshui City been resolved?"

"solved."

Chen Jian nodded and replied:
"There was only one level three monster and three level four monsters there. We killed three of them, and the remaining one was dealt with by the Hanshui City defenders."

"They shouldn't run into any major problems in the short term, but you can't say for sure."

"But in any case, we now have aircraft that can fly long distances."

"This means that all human settlements within a 500-kilometer radius of Jinling New City are generally safe."

"If a similar monster attack happens again, we can respond quickly and organize rescue."

As he finished speaking, the expression on Jin Zhong's face changed from "confusion" to "surprise".

He looked at Chen Jian and asked in disbelief:

"Only this one plane?"

"Of course not."

Chen Jian waved his hand and replied:
"We'll make more planes."

"However, pilots are a problem - if your team members have ideas, you can also let them participate in the pilot selection."

“We need a lot of pilots, and everyone can participate.”

"We? We can too??"

Jin Zhong was stunned.

He found it difficult to understand Chen Jian's "generosity". After all, if it were within the Mechanicus, such a piece of equipment with such "terrifying" power would never be allowed to be in the hands of other people.

How do you ensure that the person manipulating it will not turn the blame on yourself?
Obviously, these Chinese soldiers are either extremely stupid or have no such worries at all.

Of course they can't be stupid, so the answer is the latter.

In other words, the strength they showed was far from what they saw.
Jin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had given the right advice during that meeting.

If at this time, the Mechanicus and the Chinese Army are still in a hostile state.
The divine punishment brought by this "plane" will surely fall upon the city of Jinling.
Seeing Chen Jian nod, Jin Zhong slowly said:

"Understood. I will tell my brothers."

"That's good, don't be restrained."

Chen Jian smiled slightly.

He could see deeper hesitation in Jin Zhong's eyes.

The wall in his heart was about to be broken.

But there's still a better time.
No one knows when that time will come.

But Chen Jian could feel that it was not far away.
