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

Chapter 51 Parting ways
When the smoke cleared, the monster's huge body lay quietly on the ground. The panicked gophers all opened their olfactory sacs, but after smelling the real scent of the host's death, they completely lost their will to resist and scattered into the dense woods.

Chen Jian held the 191, spat out a mouthful of saliva stained with gunpowder, and subconsciously rubbed his swollen ears.

The power of these two rockets was indeed beyond his expectations, so much so that he didn't even react. The monster that the Mechanicus had not been able to kill for several years or even more than ten years actually died just like that?

So what were they doing before?
Of course they can dig up this kind of weapons. It's not like they just stand two kilometers away with a rocket launcher and fire randomly, right?
It's really possible.

After all, with their tactical level, this is the most effective choice they can make.
Looking at Zeng Yi climbing up from under the viaduct again, Chen Jian nodded and said:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zeng Yi grinned and replied:
"Fortunately."

"I know you can do it."

"Indeed, if it really didn't work, we would have left long ago."

Chen Jian was not humble at all. He knew it was meaningless to be humble at this time.

On the contrary, only by constantly strengthening the impression of "all-powerful" team in the minds of these Holy Bloods, will it be easier to cooperate in the future.
-
However, speaking of cooperation, my cooperation with some people has been completely broken.

Chen Jian turned his head and saw Xu Lie had returned to the overpass and was standing not far away, waiting quietly.

The other party opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally took his words back.

Chen Jian did not leave him any room, but spoke directly:

"You can go back."

"You don't need to participate in the next action."

"I will give you the share of the profits that belonged to you according to the agreed ratio."

"But now, our cooperation is over."

".Why?"

Xu Lie frowned and asked:

"I just made the choice I thought was right. Is that wrong?"

"In that situation, the chance that we could survive is less than one percent!"

"You're risking everyone's lives, and I just want everyone to survive--"

"I don't want reasons or explanations."

Chen Jian interrupted Xu Lie and said solemnly:

“There can only be one decision maker on a team.”

"You can have the thought of retreating, but you can't take the action of retreating."

"Let's go now. We don't have to fall out completely."

"By the way, don't follow us in the dark. You know we can see you."

".good."

Xu Lie finally nodded, and then said to the other Holy Bloods:
"Let's go, they don't welcome us anymore."

After that, he turned and left.

He didn't know how things turned out like this. Before coming here, the two teams were teammates who worked closely together.

But after just a fierce fight, they ended up going their separate ways.

Did you do something wrong?
Xu Lie didn't think he was wrong. After all, he had his own stance. He couldn't trust these chosen ones unconditionally, nor could he stand on their side at all costs.

I belong to the Basilica of the Holy Blood, not to you.
Xu Lie looked back at the monster lying on the ground, and after a quick glance, he found that his teammates did not catch up.

Not only did he not catch up, Li Shi even walked up to Chen Jian and asked expectantly:

"Can I still stay?"

"can."

Chen Jian nodded without hesitation.

The Holy Blooded One opposite him was the most resolute in the battle. Although he didn't really play a big role, he could be kept just because of his courage to stand in front of him and face the huge, overwhelming monster.

"Then I'll go with you! Are we going to get the shield?"

"Maybe, maybe not. The road ahead is still very dangerous. Are you sure you want to follow?"

"I am sure!"

Li Shi answered again, and at this time, Xie Liu and Zeng Yi also came over.

"We'll go too."

"Think carefully. If you follow us, your relationship with the Holy Blood Temple will inevitably be damaged."

Chen Jian warned again. Xie Liu remained silent, while Zeng Yi shrugged and replied:
"We didn't do anything wrong." ".Indeed. Let's go then."

After that, several people quickly packed up their equipment and prepared to leave the temporary bridgehead.

Shen Yue walked at the back, carefully observing Xu Lie's movements in the distance.

It was not until he was sure that the other party had left in the opposite direction and returned towards Hanshui City along the same route that he finally caught up with the team and typed a line of words on the smart eyepiece.

"The Holy Blood split too early, so they may not be trustworthy."

Chen Jian remained calm and typed his reply:

"I know, this is the next round of testing."

"receive."

"1."

"1."

The other team members answered in turn, and the original team of 8 people became 7 people, and they walked along the exit of the viaduct towards the corpse of the monster below.

It was not until he actually stood in front of this monster that Chen Jian finally felt the oppressive feeling of destroying everything.

The monster's front claws were even longer than his height, and the edges were sharp as if they had been polished.

The area around the corpse was full of trees and buildings that had been crushed by it. The blood had dyed the ground sticky and smelly like a flood. Stepping on it was like being trapped in a swamp.

“Take a photo and scan it.”

Chen Jian gave a brief order, and He Shuo immediately walked around the monster, while controlling the drone to make a full-body 3D modeling scan of the monster.

While he was working, Chen Jian walked forward, broke off a small piece of the monster's carapace, held it in his hand and observed it carefully for a moment before saying:

"This thing is very similar to the shells of shellfish and crabs, and should contain a lot of chitin."

"But the problem is, this thing is obviously a freshwater creature. Could it be some kind of insect?"

Hearing his words, Lei Jie shook his head and said:
"It definitely can't be an insect. This thing is clearly a mammal. Look, there are dice."

".Can you please stop being so fucking vulgar?? You're a college student, bro!"

Chen Jian speechlessly slapped Lei Jie in the face. Fortunately, he did not turn on the power of the exoskeleton, otherwise, Lei Jie's head would have been smashed to pieces by this slap.

Lei Jie stepped aside with a look of grievance, and then said:

"I am just seeking truth from facts. This is the spirit of scientific research. Do you understand the spirit of scientific research?"

".Get lost!"

Chen Jian was too lazy to pay attention to him. He squatted down and carefully observed the monster's head that was pierced by the armor-piercing bullet.

Judging from the wound, the damage caused by the metal jet was extremely severe. Two huge cavities were formed on the head with a diameter of more than 3 meters, and the inside was already burnt.

Obviously, carbon-based armor is still not good enough in the face of armor-piercing shells that can penetrate heavy armor.
Even though you have skin on the outside, the inside is just some ordinary muscle tissue.

In terms of the ability to resist attacks, I'm afraid it's not as strong as the mother body in Chuansha City that can contract its muscles to stop bleeding on its own.

At this time, He Shuo's modeling work had been completed. Chen Jian stood up and said to the three Holy Bloods:
"Do you need to see any more evidence or take it away?"

"If it's not necessary, we are now ready to evacuate and head to the next target point."

"Nothing."

"no need."

The Holy Blood people answered one by one, and Chen Jian waved his hand, signaling the team to continue moving forward.

They gradually moved away from the monster's corpse, and the four members of Chen Jian's team did not look back.

On the contrary, the three members of the Holy Blood Team looked back countless times.

They still can't figure it out.

This monster that had been wreaking havoc in the Han River ruins for more than 20 years actually died just like that?

Just ten minutes ago, it was the overlord of this area.

But ten minutes later, it was thrown there, like a piece of rotten meat, quietly waiting for decay to come.

The "culprit" who caused all this walked away as if he didn't care at all.

So what exactly is a "monster" to these chosen ones?
This supreme life form represents power, killing, fear, and despair in the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanicus. In the eyes of some heretics, it even possesses a certain degree of "divinity".
In the eyes of the chosen ones, it is actually just a target that "can be destroyed", right?
Xie Liu, Zeng Yi and Li Shi remained silent.

They didn't communicate, but an idea popped into their minds at the same time.

Perhaps the worldview I have established during these nearly twenty years of growth is wrong.

The disputes and battles between humans and monsters are not battles against "evil gods".

Monsters are not evil gods. If someone tries to kill them, they will die.
