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

Chapter 68 Just Stand
At this time, the city of Huangshi was in chaos. The city defense troops, who had never seen such a high-intensity conflict, were already frightened. Then, they were charged by Zeng Yi and Xie Liu, two "strange" Holy Blooders armed with automatic firepower. They basically could not put up any effective resistance and simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.

The other two Crusader squads that came to support originally had some combat effectiveness, but facing the highly mobile Holy Blooders, the counterattacks they could make were extremely limited.

Together with Chen Jian and He Shuo who quickly returned to provide support after clearing out the Mechanical Church, it only took a few minutes for all the armed forces in the city to be completely eliminated.

Civilians realized the danger of the conflict, especially after seeing the smoke rising from the north, and a large number of civilians began to flee to the lake shore desperately.

Of course, there are also people who don't want to leave.

Those people in the city who had been wanting to resist heard the news and took action. However, when they rushed to the Mechanical Church and tried to meet up with the "reinforcements" that had come from nowhere, they were shocked to find that the "reinforcements" that had turned the entire city upside down and cleared out the crusader troops in an instant were only four people.

They looked at the two Holy Bloods with distinct features with suspicion, and for a moment they could not believe that their fighting power had reached such a high level.

On second thought, these two Holy Blood Ones don't seem to be the main force. The truly powerful ones are the two ordinary people wearing strange armors.

For a moment, no one dared to speak rashly.

The two groups just faced each other from a distance, staring at each other warily.

Seeing a large number of fishing boats fleeing Huangshi City to the south, Chen Jian stepped forward and shouted:

"All the cultists of the Mechanicus have been killed!"

"The monsters they raise are rushing towards Yellowstone City. If you are willing to protect your homeland, follow me to the lake!"

As soon as the words fell, the team consisting of hundreds of people was shaken instantly.

Chaotic discussions continued to be heard. Some people were questioning the demise of the Mechanicus, some were questioning the identities of Chen Jian and others, but more people were shocked by the news that "the monster is coming soon."

There is no doubt that they absolutely know what monster Chen Jian is talking about.

In an instant, dozens of people turned around and fled.

But when Chen Jian and the other three rushed to the lake to set up a defense line, there were still forty or fifty people following them.

Zeng Yi didn't understand why Chen Jian called these people over. He held his gun and looked nervously at the smoke in the distance, and asked:
"Why let these civilians come? They can't help, and they might even cause chaos!"

"I know they can't help."

Chen Jian unfolded the weapon rack and deployed the PBP201 mortar on the ground, then continued:

"But only by participating in the battle can you enjoy the victory."

"Even if they just stand here, as long as they don't run away, it will be meaningful."

"We are not trying to rule Yellowstone, we are trying to liberate Yellowstone."

"The people who remain will be our first allies."

"Okay, stop talking so much, Zeng Yi Xie Liu, spread out to the east and west, and fire when the monster appears to attract its attention."

"Lei Jie, how many rounds do you have left?"

"4 shots! Two to break armor and two to kill!"

Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lei Jie's reply over the radio.

enough.

He also has a recoilless gun. With three armor-piercing shells, any monster can be dealt a heavy blow.

What's more, Lei Jie has a sniper grenade.

If you can locate the monster's weakness, it is possible to kill it instantly with one shot.
-
Even if the armor of this monster called "Mongol" is so thick that our weapons cannot penetrate it, killing the Mechanicus who control it will most likely make it lose control and run away.

So Chen Jian continued to give orders:

"Shen Yue takes over from Li Shi to use the heavy machine gun to clear out the Mechanicus pilots on the monsters' backs, while He Shuo looks for high-value targets."

"With such a huge monster and so many followers, the Mechanicus must have sent priests to organize and manage it. Kill the leader and interrupt their command first!"

"understand!"

The order was given and everyone took action.

Chen Jian stayed where he was, and after setting up the mortar, he took out the PBW024 recoilless rifle from the rack and held it in his hand, quietly waiting for the monster to appear in his sight.

He looked calm, his movements were orderly, and even his heartbeat, which had been speeding up during the attack, gradually slowed down. That's right, to him, the threat posed by this so-called monster might not be as great as a cold shot from the Skitarii.
The smoke in the distance was growing thicker and thicker, and the roars of monsters and the hymns of the Mechanicus could be heard vaguely.

One of the civilians who followed ran behind Chen Jian and asked in fear, nervousness, but respectfully:

"My Lord, what shall we do?"

"Organize your people into a line as spread out as possible along the shore, and do what you can."

"Dig a bunker, build simple fortifications, hide yourself, and attract attention."

"We. Are just like this?"

The visitor asked in surprise.

"You can also shout and curse. If you have firearms, you can shoot at the monsters."

"But don't move forward, and don't move backward. Use cover whenever possible!"

".good!"

The person turned and left. Chen Jian turned his head again and stared at the image flowing through the tactical eyepiece.

At this time, the monster had approached within 1 kilometer of the lake shore and was within the shooting range of Lei Jie and Shen Yue.

But none of them opened fire. They just observed quietly and continued to send information back to Chen Jian.

"A high-value target has been found. It is located in the center of the operating table on the monster's back. The heat signature has been marked. He Shuo, please check it."

"He Shuo received it."

"The enemy's number is confirmed, about 40 in total, 8 on the operating platform, about 30 on the hanging baskets on both sides of the monster, and two following below."

"These two people are very special and move very quickly. They should be Holy Bloods. They are considered high-value targets. He Shuo received the thermal signature and marked it himself."

"Marking completed."

"Found artillery, located in the baskets on both sides. Muzzle-loading smoothbore cannon."

"Got it, Lei Jie will use the sniper grenade to deal with it."

"clear."

Chen Jian loosened his wrist and ordered again:
"Drone No. 1 descends in altitude and conducts a circling reconnaissance."

"Drone No. 2 will fly to the rear to monitor the situation in the rear and prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack."

"Understood, the drone has entered the intelligent cruise mode. Here it comes!"

As He Shuo's reply fell, accompanied by a roar, a huge monster finally crushed the layers of bushes, revealing its hideous and terrifying figure.

It was not very tall, and even seemed much shorter than the monsters Chen Jian had seen.

Judging from the reference, it is no more than 10 meters high.

But its body is very long and its legs are extremely thick, and every time it takes a step, the ground vibrates heavily.

This is enough to show how amazing its weight is.

The reason for its huge weight may be related to the layer of "iron armor" covering its body!
Of course, the so-called iron armor is not real armor, but someone pours molten iron directly on its external shell, which forms a fragmented, mottled and dark "metal coating" after cooling!
What a breathtaking idea.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and turned to look at the civilians who had lined up as he requested.

They had already started cursing, and some were even using their muzzle-loading guns, which were similar to fire tubes, to fire at the monsters which were still 1.5 kilometers away.

Although nothing worked, the good news is that they really didn't back off.

Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction. When the monster's front legs stepped into the lake, he gave the order:

"be prepared!"

"Do it now!"
