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

Chapter 57 Martial Law
The team drove south along the Baishazhou Avenue Expressway, reached the Qingling Interchange after 3 kilometers, and then continued south on the Qingling Expressway. The team finally arrived at the Wushen Expressway Interchange, approaching the outskirts of Hanshui City.

The 20-kilometer journey was in poor condition due to erosion by time, but with the help of the tracked cat car, it only took them 45 minutes.

This speed amazed Xie Liu and others.

Can they run that fast?

Of course you can.

Considering the physique of a Holy Blood Person, running 20 kilometers in less than an hour is easy, and even half an hour is enough at full speed.

But the problem is that if they really run like this, their physical strength will almost be exhausted.

And now?

They just sat in the car, enjoying the breeze, chatting from time to time, and looking at the scenery while they finished the journey.

When getting off the car, no one felt physically or mentally exhausted, and they all maintained their best fighting condition.

This experience was very novel. After all, even for the Mechanicus, the vehicles they owned were mainly for special transportation purposes.

The concept of using machinery to save energy and improve combat effectiveness gave them a new understanding of the combat methods of the so-called "Chosen Ones".

No wonder they can display such high combat effectiveness despite their limited physical fitness.

Their research on combat methods has obviously reached the point of "being very meticulous"
This is probably the wisdom of the old times.

The three men followed closely behind Chen Jian and He Shuo, drove the two cat cars to a dilapidated factory building under the viaduct and hid them. They then took out all the weapons and ammunition they carried, returned to the viaduct, and prepared to enter Hanshui City.

At this time, they were only 3 kilometers away from the residential area of Hanshui City. From the viaduct, they could vaguely see the man-made buildings covered by vegetation.

Chen Jian instructed He Shuo to launch a drone to explore the way. This was originally a very basic reconnaissance action, but when the high-altitude images of the drone were transmitted back to the two people's smart eyepieces, they both stopped immediately at the same time.

"Something is wrong."

Chen Jian half-crouched and hid beside the guardrail, took out a telescope to observe the situation in Hanshui City in the distance.

"A large number of people are gathering on the edge of the city, carrying heavy weapons."

"1, 2, 3, 4. We have 12 muzzle-loading guns. They are very large in caliber, just like the ones we saw last time!"

"The city guards are on alert."

"What are they going to do?"

Hearing Chen Jian's words, Zeng Yi subconsciously stood up and wanted to observe. Chen Jian grabbed him, handed the telescope to him and said:
"Use this to see!"

Zeng Yi took the telescope, observed for a moment, and frowned.

"The city is under martial law."

"All the city defense forces have been dispatched, and all the priests and ministers of the Mechanicus have come out."

"I see some elite Crusaders in the rear. They are different from the ordinary city defense troops and usually won't come out."

"The Holy Blood Temple has also sent people. It's really strange that they are all wearing blood-stained clothes. What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Liu, who was also observing with the telescope given by He Shuo, continued:
"I saw two Origin Bloods in the back. The Origin Bloods from Hanshui City haven't shown up for at least a year. What are they going to do this time?"

"do not know."

Zeng Yi shook his head, handed the telescope back to Chen Jian, and continued:

"We have to go in and take a look. Maybe it has something to do with the killing of the level 3 monster in the ruins."

"But this doesn't make sense. Xu Lie has obviously gone back. If he has already reported the monsters were eliminated, why is Hanshui City still under martial law?"

“Shouldn’t they be celebrating?”

“That’s my problem too.”

Xie Liu looked solemn. After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly spoke:
"Captain Chosen by God, I don't think it's appropriate for you to enter Hanshui City at this time."

"The situation is too complicated. Let's try to communicate first. You can follow us. If there is any problem, you can evacuate in time."

"no problem."

Chen Jian nodded decisively, and then said:
"Keep the radio on, stay in communication."

"He Shuo, prepare for electromagnetic suppression."

"There must be other long-distance communication equipment in the city. When the Holy Blooders go out for reconnaissance, they must ensure that the information from the Hanshui City sentinels is blocked."

"clear."

He Shuo immediately took off the directional jamming device he was carrying and began to search and debug the frequency. At the same time, Chen Jian retrieved a cat car, turned off the lights and followed the team.

The team of five was divided into two teams, front and back, and advanced forward at a distance of 400 meters.

Relying on the uninterrupted guidance of the drone, Chen Jian carefully used cover to hide himself, and stopped the car and walked 800 meters away from Hanshui City.

After that, it took them 10 minutes to get within 300 meters of the first sentry post of Hanshui City. At this time, the defense forces of Hanshui City had already noticed the three approaching Holy Bloods. Through the drone's perspective, Chen Jian saw the leader raise his hand, as if he wanted to stop the three from moving forward.

"We are the Holy Bloods, and we just came back from the ruins!"

Through the radio, Chen Jian heard Zeng Yi reveal his identity.

The city defense soldiers on the opposite side put down their hands and signaled the three men to continue approaching.

The distance between the two sides continued to narrow, and Chen Jian finally heard the voice of the city defense army from the radio.

"Why did you come back just now? Didn't the Holy Blood Temple inform you of the martial law?"

"Our communication device is broken and we didn't receive any message."

"It's very dangerous inside the ruins. I can't take care of it at all."

As he spoke, Zeng Yi continued to move forward.

He looked behind the city defense army and asked curiously:

"What happened? Why is there a sudden curfew?"

"You don't know? Are you going to the Hanshui Ruins?"

The city defense troops asked in confusion.

This question obviously alerted Zeng Yi. He was silent for two seconds before answering:
"Yes, but we only walked to the edge and didn't explore in depth - is there something wrong in the ruins?"

"Yes."

The city defense army sighed and then explained:
"That level 3 monster entered its active phase and almost wiped out the entire Holy Blood team. Only one person came back alive."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Jian and He Shuo, who were listening in the back, entered a state of alert at the same time.

has a problem!
They don't know that the monster is dead!

Or maybe someone doesn't want them to know that the monster is dead!

"Don't tell them! Just go along with it!"

Chen Jian quickly spoke, but just before his voice reached Zeng Yi along with the radio waves, Li Shi on the side had already spoken.

"Level 3 monster? Isn't it already dead?"

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two sides became stagnant as if frozen.

Zeng Yi turned to Li Shi helplessly, his right hand already on the hilt of the sword behind him.

"You'd better stop talking nonsense next time. Who told you that the monster is dead?"

Li Shi nodded in confusion. The city defense army on the opposite side took a step back and then said:

"Yes, the monster is dead."

"Is that the case for you guys?"

"Mimic heretics, fire!"

"Fire!"

Two orders were issued almost at the same time, one from the city defense army and the other from Chen Jian.

The 26 sniper rifle in He Shao's hand instantly spewed out flames, and the city defense soldiers who gave the order to open fire fell to the ground immediately!

But it was too late.

The city defense troops at the sentry post had already reacted and fired a volley of shots from their single-shot rifles. Li Shifen raised his shield and blocked Xie Liu and Zeng Yi without hesitation, but was hit by several bullets in an instant.

The 191 in Chen Jian's hand kept firing bullets, but no matter how fast he was, it was not easy to hit the target accurately at a distance of 400 meters.

The city defense army had an absolute advantage in firepower. Li Shi roared:

"Go away! Leave me alone!"

Zeng Yi was moving quickly among the crowd with a long knife in his hand. But after the gunshots, Chen Jian had already seen that other Holy Blooded people with equally fast speeds were rushing towards him from other areas.

If this continues, they will be dragged to death.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and gave three orders in succession.

"He Shuo, go to 201 and suppress the enemy's firepower in front!"

"Zeng Yi and Xie Liu, stop fighting and bring Li Shi back!"

"Li Shi! Hold up your shield! Block them!"
