I write obituaries for the gods

Goodness, the Bureau of Investigation's technology is a bit too advanced.

"Oh!"

After passing through the crevice, a scene of scorched earth came into view.

This place looks like a World War II battlefield, with a few dead trees standing amidst the scorched earth, and trenches and bunkers scattered all over the ground.

Just as Lin Chen reached the edge of the battlefield, he heard a violent explosion:

"boom!!!"

Flames shot into the sky, and on the scorched mound, a pile of steel wreckage was still burning.

Amidst the billowing black smoke, several figures disappeared behind the hills.

"Buzzing..."

A roar came from the air. Lin Chen adjusted the electronic camera and saw a fighter jet skimming low over the ground. Flames spewed from the gaping maw of the nose, and a piece of flesh was stuck to the wing with a large eye staring out from it.

Fighter jets, spewing flames, swept across the hills, and cries of agony immediately echoed from the hills.

"We need to pretend to be part of the steel torrent," Jiang Zhengge's voice came through. "Attention all crew members, just drive slowly, and pretend you didn't see anything no matter what you see."

The train crew quickly crossed the hills, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A torrent of steel surged across the scorched earth, the twisted steel beams taking on bizarre shapes:

Hands stretched out from between the tank tracks, crawling with difficulty;

The wheels of the infantry fighting vehicle have been replaced with rolling skulls, burning with flames;

The front of the troop carrier is shaped like a large eye, and it carries all sorts of eyeballs.

The brutality of war, eroded by the subspace, has been twisted into this bizarre and grotesque picture.

The infantry fighting vehicle crews seamlessly integrated into the torrent of steel, coexisting peacefully with them and traversing the long, scorched-earth roads together.

"Looks like everything's going smoothly," Jiang Zhengge's voice came through, and he seemed to be laughing.

"Hey, don't jinx it!" Li Zhanyi immediately stopped her, "What if you do it again..."

"boom!!!"

An explosion came from not far away. Lin Chen looked into the electronic mirror and saw a group of dark humanoid figures appearing from the hills, carrying rocket launchers.

Several tanks were destroyed by rocket-propelled grenades, and the steel torrent began its counterattack:

"Boom! Boom boom!"

Amid the explosion, Jiang Zhengge shouted:

"Calm down, theoretically they won't attack us! We just need to pretend nothing happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen saw a tank to his side gradually turn its gun and aim at the convoy.

"Enemy attack!" Lin Chen shouted.

"boom!"

.......

Chapter 103 Storm (Fifth Update)

"boom!!!"

The shell hit the infantry fighting vehicle where Lin Chen was, and he only felt the vehicle shake violently.

Lin Chen supported Li Zhanyi with one hand and pressed the earpiece with the other:

"Section Chief, what should we do?"

"Counterattack!" Jiang Zhengge shouted.

"Bam! Boom boom boom!"

The crew began to retaliate against the tank that had suddenly attacked. Under a salvo, the tank was blasted into pieces, and the small hands between the tracks lay helplessly open.

Apart from that, no other steel torrents attacked the train crew.

"Just an isolated case?" Li Zhanyi murmured. "Has it gone mad?"

"That's unlikely," Lin Chen said. "There must be a reason..."

He closed his eyes, entered the "Mirage City," and his gaze swept over the tank.

Almost immediately, Lin Chen noticed the anomaly:

When the tank was destroyed, a wisp of white smoke, invisible to the naked eye, flew out.

Lin Chen knew what that was!

That's Bai Duozhi!

"Attention! We've detected Baidozhi!" Lin Chen reported immediately. "It's controlling the physical entity to attack us!"

"Damn, this thing can even invade the consciousness of a physical entity?" Jiang Zhengge cursed. "Is it still around?"

"Left front! That tank that's standing still!" Lin Chen pointed in the direction.

The crew immediately turned their guns around and aimed at the tank Lin Chen was pointing to.

Almost simultaneously, the tank's cannon also began to rotate.

But instead of targeting the tank crew, it aimed at the other tanks in the armored torrent—

"boom!"

When the crew's artillery fire destroyed the tank, the tank's fire hit another tank.

The other tank immediately turned its gun around and fired back, emitting a shrill cry.

"boom!"

Its artillery fire hit another tank, which then began to retaliate.

Then, a magnificent chain reaction began.

Civil war broke out within the steel torrent, with artillery fire filling the sky and bullets even grazing fighter jets overhead.

And so, the fighter jets, spewing flames, swooped down, strafing the silhouettes of the steel torrent—

"Om——"

When the flames engulfed the infantry fighting vehicle, the AI ​​inside finally started sounding the alarm:

"Warning: Energy shield integrity 21%, entering danger zone."

“We can’t hold on much longer,” Louis shouted. “We have to abandon the vehicle!”

“This place doesn’t look like a place where anyone can live,” Lin Chen glanced at the hellish battlefield. “Stay in the car, I’ll go out.”

"Hey! This isn't the time to be a hero!" Louis shouted. "The energy vest can't stop a machine gun!"

Lin Chen did not hesitate. He understood that if he did not step forward now, he would have no way to survive.

Bai Duozhi had clearly chosen the ambush method with the highest success rate. He had remained silent until everyone entered this death trap.

He chose to lie in wait in one subject because he feared that subject.

Or rather, he was afraid of Lin Chen.

"Oh!"

Lin Chen opened the top hatch, climbed up, and leaned his upper body out of the hatch.

Before he could even stand up straight, he saw a figure climb up and squeeze into the cabin with him.

It was Li Zhanyi.

“I’ll help you with the prediction,” Li Zhanyi said, avoiding Lin Chen’s gaze. “It’s too dangerous outside.”

"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.

The hatch of the infantry fighting vehicle was small, and Lin Chen felt Li Zhanyi's entire body pressed against his chest, soft and yielding.

He took a deep breath, picked up the revolver shotgun, loaded it with a single armor-piercing bullet, and aimed.

Afterwards, Lin Chen entered the Mirage City, searching for Bai Duozhi's whereabouts amidst the continuous artillery fire.

Soon, he spotted the cloud of white mist—

"Team, nine o'clock position, infantry fighting vehicles wearing high heels, focus fire," Lin Chen ordered.

"Da da da da da!"

The artillery fire instantly focused on the infantry fighting vehicle where Baiduozhi was located. The moment the vehicle was destroyed, Lin Chen entered the "Mirage City" and saw the trajectory of Baiduozhi's flight.

He anticipated this and immediately turned his gun around:

"Oh!"

A single-shot armor-piercing round tore through the billowing smoke, hitting the plume of white smoke with a single shot—

"Squeak!!"

Almost simultaneously, Li Zhanyi grabbed Lin Chen by the chest and pulled him down:

"careful!"

"Om——"

Lin Chen was pulled down from the hatch, and two seconds later, a burst of machine gun fire swept across the hatch.

"Da da da da da!"

The crew immediately launched a counterattack and annihilated the enemy units.

"Bai Duozhi has solved it!" Lin Chen pressed the earpiece. "Repeat, Bai Duozhi has solved it! Thank you, Zhan Yi."

"It's too dangerous..." Li Zhanyi puffed out her cheeks slightly. "From now on, just stay in the car... Hey! Are you still going to go up?"

“He will come back again,” Lin Chen climbed onto the hatch. “I have to keep an eye on him at all times.”

Li Zhanyi sighed softly, muttered something under her breath, and then squeezed up alongside Lin Chen.

While Lin Chen was dealing with Bai Duozhi, Jiang Zhengge led the other infantry fighting vehicles to bombard the steel torrent. Under his command, the AI ​​gunners quickly broke the chain of events, and the infighting among the steel torrent ended.

Lin Chen looked around, occasionally entering the "Mirage City" to search for Bai Duozhi's whereabouts.

“We need to get out of this area as soon as possible,” Jiang Zhengge’s voice came through.

"Keep going, I'll give you a warning," Lin Chen said softly.

"It was me who gave the warning," Li Zhanyi muttered.

"You're giving me a warning," Lin Chen chuckled.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind, like the sound of peach shortbread being broken into pieces.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that the steel debris was disintegrating, and iron filings were floating up and flying around in the air.

He had seen this phenomenon before: it seemed that all steel entities turned into these iron filings after destruction.

But this time, something seems off.

The iron filings seemed to be gathering in a certain direction, like a tornado brewing.

“Something’s not right,” Lin Chen said. “Zhanyi, move the prophecy’s timing forward a little!”

Li Zhanyi nodded, the deep blue light in his pupils shining even brighter.

She adjusted the timing of the prophecy to thirty seconds later, and when she saw what was about to happen, her mouth immediately gaped open:

"It's a new anomalous entity! Get out of the way!"

Lin Chen listened to her almost immediately, and the two of them retreated into the cabin and pulled the door down.

"Buzzing..."

The storm of iron filings gathered in the sky, gradually forming a sphere, like a swarm of bees leaving their hive.

Electromagnetic interference came through the headset, accompanied by distorted static:

"...I've been here for a long time...hehe...hehehe..."

It's Bai Duozhi's voice!

Lin Chen immediately entered the "Mirage City" to observe the moment he hit Bai Duozhi, and then pulled back the timeline.
