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

Chapter 87 I avoid his edge?

Chapter 87 I avoid his edge?
3 kilometers downstream of Yuqing Prefecture, near Guniu Prefecture.

Xu Lie, who had just swam ashore from the water, staggered on the muddy river beach. Beside him was Zhou Yan, who was as distraught as he was.

Just over ten minutes ago, Zhou Yan sent him to the ship of the Mechanicus, intending to give him final instructions before he left Huangshi and returned to Peking, but the two of them could never have imagined that this unintentional act unexpectedly allowed them to survive the horrific divine punishment.

When the dazzling light flashed, for a moment, Xu Lie thought that the idiots of the Mechanicus had detonated some gunpowder.

But he soon discovered that this explosion was different from any he had ever seen before.

A huge noise, a bright light that could not be blocked even with an outstretched arm, a strong shock wave, a huge wave that overturned the steamship, and air that was as hot as boiling water.
The sun rose over Yuqingzhou, and its unparalleled power had destroyed everything there.

After the flash, Xu Lie, who was washed into the water, tried to look for traces of survivors.

But he was horrified to find that there was no sign of life there.

Even the once-mighty flagship "Renhai" has completely disappeared without a trace.

Xu Lie didn't know where they went. The knowledge he had developed over the past twenty years told him that no matter how serious the accident was or how powerful the explosion was, it was impossible for a giant ship to evaporate out of thin air.

But the facts are right in front of us.

He just couldn't believe it.

He would rather believe that this was a nightmare, an illusion and a trick created by those mimetic heretics.

So, even though the fear in his heart could hardly be suppressed, he still wanted to go there and take a look.

He had to go back to Yuqingzhou and find the survivors to ask what happened there.
-
Even if this is indeed a disaster, there will always be people alive, right?
He subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan beside him, hoping to get some comfort from the extremely noble supervisor.

However, the fear in the other person's eyes was no less than his.

".Master Attendant."

Xu Lie spoke with a bitter expression, and then continued to ask:

"what is that?"

Zhou Yan shook his head blankly, his steps even staggering a little.

He couldn't answer.

Because he had never seen it.

Not to mention having seen it, he had never even heard of such a thing!
The horrific explosion that destroyed everything in an instant was like the legendary divine punishment.
-
But even the wisest elder in the Temple of Holy Blood could never have described such a scene of divine punishment.

The fear that penetrated his bones had completely controlled him. He suddenly realized that the so-called "holy blood" flowing in his body was almost insignificant in the face of such power.
But where did the punishment come from that day?

Those mimic heretics?

Zhou Yan couldn't help but shiver.

The fear, anxiety and doubt in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he even wanted to turn around and leave.

But he can't leave.

At least he needs to know what happened here.

Otherwise, even if he returned to Peking, the wrath of the Holy Father would completely overwhelm him.

Zhou Yan forced himself to move forward with his slightly trembling body. At this time, Yu Qingzhou was already very close.

And when he looked up at the location of the Mechanicus' artillery array, an even more terrifying scene appeared before him.

All the heavy, huge, and extremely sturdy cannons had melted and were flowing on the ground like twisted corpses.

The trees were swept away, leaving only the charred earth.

There is no one left.

No one can survive here.

A huge sense of uneasiness enveloped Zhou Yan. He turned around and ran without hesitation, trying to escape from this hellish scene.
-
But the next second, he felt his body suddenly become lighter.

When he tried to land on his legs, there was nothing there.

Zhou Yan looked back in horror, and heard the violent gunshots finally coming.

Xu Lie, who was following him, had also fallen to the ground. The crusaders of the Guards Brigade had no time to react before their armor was pierced by bullets.

Here they come!

Zhou Yan struggled to crawl forward, he knew who was coming.

heresy!

They are still alive! They did not die in the punishment from heaven!

And now, they are like evil spirits stepped out of hell, and they are going to use the remaining power of heaven's punishment to completely harvest all lives on this land!
Zhou Yan looked forward in horror, and then, from the burning embers filled with thick smoke, several figures stepped out.

"Yes, yes, it's you who brought down the punishment from heaven."

He subconsciously wanted to touch his weapon, but found that he had already lost his fighting instinct due to being in a superior position for so many years.

Without any weapons, he even tried to grab the mud from the riverbank and throw it at the other party, as if to drive away the evil spirit that was demanding his life.

Chen Jian looked at his movements with amusement, raised his hand and shot, completely shattering his shoulder.

Then, he walked to Zhou Yan, glanced at Xu Lie who was lying on the ground next to him, shook his head and said:
"I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I thought you were killed in the explosion, or you weren't even here at all."

Xu Lie, who was shot several times, spat out a mouthful of blood and said while coughing:

"Chen cough Chen Jian"

"You can't kill him. He is the guardian of the Holy Blood Temple."

"Killing him would mean becoming an enemy of the Holy Blood Temple"

Chen Jian nodded and replied:
"I won't kill yet."

"Because I want to ask you some questions."

"Xu Lie, let's start with you. You answer the questions."

"What is Mimic Heresy?"

Xu Lie's eyes were startled, and then he immediately replied:
"This is a misunderstanding! You are not mimic heretics, we made a mistake."

"The Mimic Heresy is a plague on this land, we just want to stop it before disaster strikes!"

“We can explain, we can collaborate”

"boom!"

Chen Jian pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit Xu Lie right between his eyebrows. The 7.62mm bullet blew off his skull. Even if the Holy Blood Man had a strong physical fitness, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

"wrong answer."

Chen Jian looked at Zhou Yan beside him and continued:

"Now it's your turn."

"Don't talk nonsense."

A few minutes later, Zhou Yan's head exploded on the riverbank just like Xu Lie's.

But this time, Chen Jian got the information he wanted.

Not too much, but not detailed enough.

But at least, the truth about the mimicry heresy is no longer a vague "legend".

Looking at the bodies of the two, Li Shi, who had always been beside Chen Jian, suddenly said:
"It's like we really shouldn't kill him."

"The Guardian is dead. The Holy Blood Temple will definitely send many people to investigate."

"That will be troublesome. We just finished a battle. We should avoid them first."

"What's that word? To take shelter from the spotlight?"
