Otherworld Girl Development Guide

After putting away the map, I observed the brightly lit buildings in the distance. From the high platform, I could see people from Shangqiu scanning their surroundings with something that could emit a strong light.

On the high platform, an orbal gun of unknown type was mounted... In the sky, unseen by the hunters, Wing Loong drones hovered low, constantly scanning the surroundings...

The short captain in charge of leading the team frowned slightly. These Shangqiu people were too difficult to deal with. They almost exposed themselves several times. If it weren't for the animal skins they were wearing and the fact that there were few people on the team, they would have been discovered long ago.

They had spent too much time infiltrating here, and the direction from which the feint attack was intended to lure the Shangqiu people quickly returned to silence after the intense flames, giving the short captain a bad feeling.

Their operation can be considered a failure... The best option was to retreat before the Shangqiu people discovered them.

But if they just slink back like that... Lord Caesar will definitely send them to the Order's laboratory, where they'll truly suffer a fate worse than death.

"Captain, what do we do?" a hunter asked, his face grim as he looked at the heavily guarded building.

"Do you want to see that madman?"

Suddenly, the hunter seemed to recall a terrifying scene, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"No! I'd rather die here!"

Chapter 62 The Beastman

"In that case, offer your hearts to the Order!"

The short captain said coldly, "These 'tools' will die whether they go back or die here. At least their families who die here will receive some compensation from the cult!"

The hunter struggled for a moment, then gradually regained his composure and nodded to the short captain.

“I understand. I will entrust my family to the religious order.”

"Don't worry, you know the rules of the Order."

The hunter pulled out a deep red plus version from his pocket and gulped it down. The other hunters exchanged glances and followed suit, pulling out their own and eating as well.

After seeing several people swallow the poison, the short captain led five of his most elite members to sneak to the other side, intending to slip in during the chaos and bring out the cunning little thing... These hunters were doomed; even if they weren't eliminated by the enemy, they would go mad and die from the poison's side effects.

The hunter who ate the poison was in excruciating pain. His muscles trembled and multiplied violently, his bones cracked and popped, and his body suddenly grew taller, transforming into a humanoid creature resembling a gorilla.

He exhaled heavily through his nostrils, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, his reason evaporated rapidly, and he let out a beast-like roar. He reached out and tore off his precious animal skin cloak, exposing his upper body like a berserker from "Yuri's Revenge." With his last bit of obsession controlling his actions, he leaped off the high ground and ran towards the brightly lit buildings not far away.

The Wing Loong drones in the sky detected the anomaly immediately, and the security personnel sounded the alarm without hesitation.

"All personnel, enemy spotted at 3 o'clock! Repeat..."

The piercing siren echoed throughout the residential area, and flares were fired into the sky, illuminating the three o'clock position as if it were daytime.

"Enemy, open fire!"

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun, mounted on the high platform and operated by the gunner, opened fire on the charging berserkers.

Thump, thump, thump... The ammunition feeder lifts the ammunition belt and feeds one 12.7mm bullet after another into the chamber, followed by the ejecting hot cartridge cases.

The crossfire from the two Type 89 heavy machine guns on the high platform bunkers on both sides swept towards the charging hunters.

Guided by the tracer rounds, two streaks of fire swept across the berserker's body. His strong muscles were utterly useless against the heavy machine gun; the 12.7mm bullets easily tore through his muscles and skin, ripping the mangled flesh off his body.

The hunter running at the front was instantly torn to pieces by bullets, and then the fire whip swept towards the other berserkers.

The berserker seemed to retain some basic instincts, immediately performing irregular evasive maneuvers, grabbing stones of varying sizes from the ground as it ran, and hurling them at the building with "intelligent" eyes.

However, the throwing accuracy was too off-target; even if a stone occasionally hit the position, it would be blocked by the cover.

The berserkers run much faster than ordinary humans and use serpentine movements to dodge heavy machine gun fire, which significantly reduces the hit rate of the heavy machine guns.

The 5.8mm bullets from the Type 95 were not very effective. Blood and bits of flesh could be seen constantly splattering from the berserkers' bodies, but the enemy was still charging toward the position. The company commander even wondered if these berserkers felt no pain.

The family quarters guarded by the guard company are similar to a modern, fully enclosed residential area. Except for two entrances and exits, the entire area is surrounded by 2.5-meter-high fences with various sensors. These fences might be able to stop ordinary people, but they could very well be breached by these berserkers.

The thought of the enemy actually breaching the family quarters sent a shiver down the spine of the guard company commander... Even if just one person were to get in, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Command, this is the family quarters, we've been attacked! Repeat... We've been attacked..." the company commander shouted over the communications channel.

"What?" came the commander's shocked and angry voice from the communication channel.

There were only so many troops in Shangqiu. In addition to the team responsible for repelling the hunters, other important departments also needed to be protected. In the end, there was only one company of garrison troops stationed in the entire family area.

Although we had anticipated the possibility that the other side might use a feint attack and send small groups of troops to infiltrate, we never expected that they would ignore key facilities such as power plants, command centers, military facilities, communication base stations, and waterworks, and head straight for the residential area!

What kind of behavior is this? This mercenary group can already be classified as terrorists!

"Reinforcements are here! Hold on! Even if it takes a human wave, keep the enemy outside the family quarters!"

"The guard company understands!"

With a snap, the company commander hung up the phone, picked up his assault rifle, and walked out of the command post. At the same time, he had a bad feeling. The fact that the other side was able to infiltrate meant that there were likely other enemies besides the ones in front of him!

Once the berserkers get close, it will definitely disrupt the defensive line and allow potential infiltrators to enter the family quarters... The company commander shouted the order over the command channel:

"First platoon, prepare for a counter-charge immediately and scatter the enemy!"

"First platoon received... Please rest assured, sir, we guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

The platoon leader shouted into the communications channel, then turned to the other squad leaders and gave them orders:

"First squad on the left, second squad on the right, third squad following behind the infantry and armored vehicles... Follow me!"

The platoon leader leaped out of the defensive fortifications, and his soldiers followed closely behind him.

Boom boom boom!

An eight-wheeled vehicle deployed near the position also drove out of its bunker and joined the counter-offensive, with the driver maneuvering the infantry fighting vehicle slowly forward.

The marksman operated the 30mm autocannon and the coaxial machine gun to fire together, suppressing the charging berserkers.

The 30mm autocannon accurately blasted the mutated hunters, while the other infantry followed closely behind the infantry fighting vehicle, using Type 95 assault rifles to fire at the berserk orcs who were like mad dogs.

At the same time, the infantrymen of the first and second squads on both sides knelt on the ground in a diagonal line, setting up the lightweight fiberglass launchers they carried on their backs.

After glancing left and right to make sure no one was around, the Type 08 individual rocket launcher locked onto a charging orc through the scope and pressed the fire button.

The rocket engine ignites, and the flames can be clearly seen burning through the thin walls of the launch tube.

The Type 08 rocket employs a fully enclosed balanced launch principle. When launching a rocket forward, a counterbalanced body with an equal mass to the launch mass is thrown backward at the tail of the launch tube to counteract the recoil.

The rocket roared out of the launcher and hurtled towards the berserker. The fireball from the rocket explosion engulfed the hunter.

Chapter 63 Infiltration

In the civil defense works in the family quarters, children are looking at the revised edition of "Blue Cat's 3000 Questions".

The faint sound of gunfire could be heard outside. The teacher smiled and reassured the children around her, while slightly increasing the volume of the cartoon to mask the gunfire.

"Kids, isn't the cat in this cartoon cute?"

The teacher used language to distract the children, who nodded as if they understood. In the corner, Lingdang pursed her lips, her amber eyes filled with fear, and her body trembled slightly.

Those people are here! They're here to grab the bell! What should we do...? Should we run away?

"What's wrong, Little Bell?"

The teacher seemed to notice her unusual behavior, and walked over to her with a smile, bent down to be at eye level with Lingdang, and gave her a gentle pat on the head.

Are you scared?

Feeling the trembling of the bell, he hugged the little bell tightly and whispered, "Don't be afraid... the uncles are fighting the bad guys, they will protect you, little bell."

Feeling the teacher's warm embrace, Lingdang's amber eyes flickered, and her trembling body gradually calmed down. Looking down at the ground, she recalled the care she had received in Shangqiu these past few days. After a few seconds, her voice trembled with tears as she said, "Teacher... these bad people are here to take Lingdang! Lingdang wants to protect everyone... please... hand over Lingdang..."

"Huh?" The teacher was taken aback. The teachers here were not ordinary teachers, but family members of military personnel, so they had a sense of confidentiality and basic professionalism.

“Little Bell…” The teacher smiled as she looked at Bell, whose eyes were filled with tears, and reached out to wipe them away: “...We will not hand anyone over.”

"But..."

"Don't worry, trust our soldiers, they are the people's army."

After speaking, the teacher stood up, clapped her hands, and said with a smile, "Children, do you still remember the song I taught you?"

"I remember..." the children said in their childish voices.

"Shall we sing it again?"

"Good~"

"The five-starred red flag flutters in the wind, the victory song resounds so loudly..."

Listening to the children's innocent voices, their singing seemed to possess a magical power, and even the bell couldn't help but sing along.

.............

Boom!

After firing the Type 08 rocket, the infantryman casually tossed the launch tube aside and picked up another rocket launcher he was carrying and set it up.

Boom boom boom!

Another round of rockets was launched...

The berserker might have some ability to fight back against 5.8mm bullets, but it was just a target in front of rockets. Once hit by a rocket, it was instantly blown into pieces of flesh smoking with blue smoke, leaving only its lower body limbs wearing "never-wearing" underwear lying on the ground.

The remaining berserkers charged forward in a fan formation, putting considerable pressure on the first line of defenses.

"Second squad leader, the enemy is charging up!"

The second squad leader, seeing two roaring orcs charging towards him from the right, gave tactical hand signals to his comrades... After assigning the tasks, the second squad leader roared:

"Go on the bayonet!"

Click, click... The soldier quickly drew his Type 95 bayonet and planted it under his Type 95 assault rifle. Although the possibility of hand-to-hand combat was slim, it represented their determination... In case the berserker got close, bayonets would draw!

"Aim for the legs!"

The squad quickly split into three groups of three, taking turns providing cover fire and firing at the berserker's legs.

Rat-a-tat-tat... 5.8mm bullets struck the berserker's legs, splattering out large amounts of blood. The bullets shattered the bones inside the body, but the berserker, who had lost the ability to feel pain and was now only driven mad by the attack, became even more ferocious.

However, it was clear that even the strongest berserker was not made of steel. After his leg was torn to pieces by bullets, his leg bone finally broke under the strain, and the berserker, without the support of his leg, fell to the ground.

What is an immobile target on the battlefield? — It's a target!

On the high platform in the family quarters, the sniper stared intently at the berserker in the scope, who was supporting his upper body with his hands. He pulled the trigger of the 04A automatic grenade launcher and opened fire at full speed.

All six 35mm grenades in the drum magazine were unleashed, and a violent explosion erupted around the berserker. One after another, fragmentation grenades detonated beside him, steel pellets from the 35mm grenades piercing his body, shrapnel tearing through him. His upper body was blown to pieces, leaving only a spine connecting a few ribs...
