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

Chapter 88 Triumph
Triumph.

These two words may seem passionate, but behind these simple strokes lie the price of countless blood and fire.

According to Chen Jian's request, Shen Yue led the team to complete the pursuit of the Mechanicus's Crusaders in the direction of Xianning. After running all the way and killing for more than ten kilometers, this force was finally completely defeated.

A large amount of equipment was abandoned, and a large number of the fallen crusaders were killed as if by the call of the devil. Some people lost their way in fear and dived into the dense jungle, and they might have become food for the monsters.

Shen Yue certainly sympathized with these people. After all, an educated soldier could not be an absolutely cold-blooded killer.

But he understood one more truth:
Sympathy on the battlefield is the most dangerous thing.

Therefore, the team he led showed no mercy when they took action.

They will not persuade people to surrender, will not accept prisoners, and will not be deceived by believers who try to "surrender".

Want to live?

Yes, after all, in the wasteland, population is also a precious resource, and we will not kill them all.

I would let go of the trigger slightly and raise the muzzle half an inch.

Take advantage of this opportunity and run away as soon as possible.

But don't come back.

If you try to fight back, you'll be met with bullets.

Based on such a tough principle, it took only 8 hours for the team led by Shen Yue to quickly clear out all the remaining enemies in the southwest direction.

When they returned, Chen Jian had already led the team to patrol the entire Dazhi Lake, and either expelled or killed the Crusaders and Holy Blood Warriors who were still there.

The fire caused by the nuclear explosion became the best help. Chen Jian had regretted that there was not enough fuel to set the fire, but now, this problem was solved in a wonderful way.

At the same time, Lei Jie also returned safely with Xie Liu and Zeng Yi.

All the troops gathered in Yellowstone City. In the town that had been completely destroyed by dozens of hours of bombardment, everyone looked around and suddenly felt that there were no more enemies around.

The sword has been unsheathed, shining with a cold light.

A great victory after a life-and-death fight can best strengthen the morale of the army. At this moment, even if Chen Jian ordered a direct attack on Nanjing, I am afraid that the dozens of remaining cavalrymen with torn armor would follow without hesitation with guns in hand.
-
However, that is a story for later.

Now, let the people here digest the joy of this great victory.

Chen Jian walked towards the church of the Mechanicus. Behind him, the soldiers with smoke all over their faces followed closely.

In front of him, the civilians who were housed in the church had already filed out to welcome the hero's return.

They stood one by one in the small square outside the church, with strange looks in their eyes.

No one spoke, no one cheered, but this solemn silence was enough to express their respect.

In the crowd, a gray-haired old man suddenly knelt down.

Then the child standing next to him ran forward and supported him with his young body.

No need to kneel.

We have to stand.

This thought emerged in everyone's mind and then became deeply engraved.

Chen Jian stepped onto the last step, glanced at the hopeful crowd, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly:

"We have annihilated most of the enemy and defeated the remaining enemy forces. All the enemies in the surrounding area have been eliminated."

"They lost."

"We won!"

silence.

A moment later, there was thunderous cheers.

The civilians who had been waiting for a long time finally rushed forward. The pregnant wife threw herself on to her husband, the young children threw themselves on to their parents, and the elderly man held up his son's scarred hand and gently wiped away the remaining blood.

At this moment, laughter and tears were intertwined.

Chen Jian quietly withdrew from the crowd, and with him did his original six teammates.

He turned off the power of the exoskeleton, walked to the steps in the corner with slightly heavy steps and sat down.

At this time, the sun had fallen from its highest point.

But everyone sitting next to Chen Jian knew that it would rise again tomorrow.

They were incredibly relaxed.

Shen Yue, He Shuo, and Li Shi, who were sitting next to Chen Jian, leaned back on the steps and fell asleep. Lei Jie was playing with a ratchet wrench that he had taken out from somewhere. Xie Liu was watching the sunset silently, while Zeng Yi let out a long breath, placed the long sword across his knees, and then said:
"I didn't expect that weapon to be something like this."

"I originally thought it would be some kind of poison gas? Or some strange weapon that I couldn't understand." "But I didn't expect its effect to be so direct."

After Zeng Yi finished speaking, Chen Jian nodded slightly and replied:
"That's a pretty straightforward weapon indeed."

"But the more direct it is, the scarier it is, right?"

"It's really scary."

Zeng Yi's eyes showed some yearning, and then he continued:
"I've literally never seen anything like it, or even thought about it."

"I remember when we first found the box, you mentioned its power."

"But at that time I fully expected it to appear in this way. Fortunately, this weapon was not buried."

At this point, Zeng Yi suddenly laughed, and then asked Chen Jian:

"Do you know what I was thinking this morning when I saw that sunrise over the river?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Jian asked curiously:

"I think it's a good thing that you joined us a long time ago, otherwise you would be the one to be bombed?"

"No."

Zeng Yi shook his head, sighed and said:

"I just figured out one thing."

"In fact, you don't need us at all. It is we who need you."

".I don't understand."

Chen Jian looked at Zeng Yi with some confusion, and Zeng Yi seemed unwilling to explain any more.

He just coughed and skipped the topic directly, then asked Xie Liu beside him:

"What about you? What do you think?"

"They must have seen this thing before. You and I are seeing it for the first time. Don't you have any thoughts?"

After thinking for a while, Xie Liu answered seriously:

“It would be nice if there were more of these.”

".I would like to have more, and it would be better if I could throw them all over the floor."

Chen Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lei Jie, who was standing beside him, suddenly became interested and said, scratching his head:
"In fact, it's not impossible to find a few more, right? Although the location of the missile unit is top secret, but captain, do you dare to say that you don't know where it is?"

"After we get settled down here, we will definitely continue to go out to get equipment and fight monsters."

"It's not impossible to bring back a few when the time comes."

"Of course it's nice to have some touches, do you think I don't want to?"

Chen Jian rolled his eyes and continued:

"Don't think about such a long-term problem for now. We still have a lot of things to do."

"I think all the nearby towns can see the explosion here."

"It goes without saying that Xianning and Hanshui City have been defeated."

"As for other places, I think the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanicus will send people to check the situation soon."

“I’m curious to see how they will react.”

As he spoke, Chen Jian stood up.

"Okay, let's stop here."

"We all need a break."

"Zeng Yi, Xie Liu, Li Shi, you are in good physical condition, hold on a little longer, the three of you will take turns to stand guard."

"clear."

Zeng Yi patted Li Shi's shoulder heavily, and the latter suddenly woke up and looked at Zeng Yi in confusion.

Zeng Yi stretched out his hand to pull him up, and then said:
"Be more alert!"

“This is our first shift!”
