Act IV: Ultra-metallic skin

"Blocking the target to get into the expected strike range, each squad is ready."

Helicopters in the air keep their wings low, watching the giant creatures on the ground. The Self-Defense Force sniper team launched an operation as soon as it received the alarm call, and carried out the first wave of blocking according to the path of the monster.

The squad of snipers followed the instructions and quickly occupied the advantageous position.

Rooftops, alleys, parked cars on the side of the road, any location that can be used as cover can hide snipers with super high professional qualities.

What looks like a calm street is actually in crisis.

Aragaki walked down the unusually quiet street, his hunger dripping from excessive saliva dripping beneath his feet, leaving small pits of green smoke on the asphalt on the ground, and the excessive silence around him made him smell an unusual smell in the air.

A sniper in ambush upstairs locked onto his target through the scope. The moment the finger is forced, the trigger is pulled, and the gunpowder ignites.

“Biu~”

The silenced bullet accelerates along the lines of the chamber, breaks through the sound barrier and accelerates again, spiraling through the long barrel to reach a speed of 800m/s that is difficult to capture with the naked eye.

The scenery quickly retreated and retreated, and the tip was accurately aligned with the center of the monster's eyebrows.

The muffled sound of flesh piercing was accompanied by sharp pain, like someone holding an awl and piercing his skull. Then another bullet struck him in the back of the head, and the impact of the bullet made his head buzz. For a moment, bullets that locked on to the target were fired from all directions.

In desperation, Aragaki rushed to the building on the side of the road with his bewildered head, his huge claws tearing open the store's roller shutter door and squeezing his huge body in.

Hiding behind the wall and listening to the crisp sound of bullets hitting the broken roller shutter door, he stretched out his claws and groped for a while where he had been shot, and then used the tip of his fingernail to dig out the bullet stuck between the bone and the skin.

It really hurts to death!

Aragaki shook his head, which was still a little numb, and when he was thinking about how to escape, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in his head.

"The user of the system defends against damage to the outer layer, stimulates the acquisition of new abilities, and supermetalizes the skin."

What is it!? Aragaki's attention was immersed in the system page that suddenly appeared in his brain, and the data comparison on it had changed at the beginning.

"System user: Aragaki

Ultra-metalized skin?

Fortify your defenses?

Aragaki gritted his teeth as he looked through the tear-open opening of the roller shutter door at the seemingly quiet outside.

"Whew!"

Fight!

Dragging his head, which was not too bright, Aragaki rushed out at the risk of being killed by a sniper gun.

The gunfire rang out again almost at the same moment as he appeared, and regardless of the pain of being hit by the bullet on his body, he quickly ran to several cars parked on the side of the road, quickly picked up one of them and opened his mouth to gnaw down.

There was a tooth-aching squeak as teeth chewed on the steel, and as the steel entered the body, a warm cloud of energy formed in the stomach and flowed through the limbs.

After three or two bites, a car swallowed into his stomach, and Aragaki quickly picked up the other and began to bite.

Gradually, Aragaki felt the pain of being hit by a bullet getting lighter and lighter, and the rough gray skin glowed with a faint metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The snipers keep shooting as they try to take out the monsters in front of them.

But the situation has quietly changed in a way that is invisible to the naked eye, and the power of the bullets that could have easily pierced the skin of the monster on the monster gradually decreased, and most of the bullets only penetrated the outer skin and sandwiched between the flesh and skin.

"Whew!" Feeling the pain of the bullet slowly subside, Aragaki nibbled harder at the car in his hand.

"Concentrate fire!"

The captain in charge of blocking vaguely felt that the situation had changed slightly, and immediately raised his vigilance and ordered the snipers to concentrate their fire.

Two machine gun mounts were quickly transferred from the rear to the window to strafe the target, and a more violent attack began.

Looking at the monster that only cares about eating and does not know how to counterattack, its huge size and somewhat clumsy movements, the commanders and snipers think that its mind should not be very bright, and it is impossible to have any powerful long-range attack means, and all snipers do not "shoot a shot to change places" to prevent themselves from exposing their targets as they usually train.

"Whew!" The monster roared in the sky.

As Aragaki swallowed the fourth car, the sound of flesh piercing turned into a crisp sound of shooting metal, and bullets fell to the ground.

He didn't feel a trace of pain when he was hit by the bullet, only the tingling itch caused by the impact, and his blue-gray skin shone with a metallic sheen in the sun.

Now Aragaki was not afraid of the bullets that came in, and he ran quickly to the snipers who were hiding behind the truck not far away.

One overturned the truck, grabbed the screaming sniper in his hand, and splattered a mouthful of blood plasma, which seemed to pause even the bullets fired at this moment.

Faced with the sudden mutation of the monster, the blocking team was a little caught off guard. Ordinary sniper shots seemed to have no effect on the monsters, and the sniper, who realized the problem, still didn't stop shooting, but heard a hint of panic in the sound of gunfire.

The helicopter had been hovering over the sky and maintaining a continuous strike on ground targets, and the pilot, observing the sudden situation on the ground, quickly grabbed the radio intercom and requested support from the command.

"There was an emergency at the scene, the monster had an unknown mutation, and its defense was enhanced, and ordinary sniper rifles could not kill the target. Anti-materiel sniper rifles were requested to support the scene. ”

The snipers hiding in the building and on the rooftop shot from different angles and directions, as if the constant stream of bullets made Aragaki a little irritable. He walked up to Ben's overturned pickup truck, picked it up, and smashed it at a sniper hidden in a building.

"Boom!" With the sound of glass breaking, the pickup truck plunged through the sniper's hidden window, leaving only half of it hanging tremblingly out of the window.

Aragaki turned his hand and broke the street lamp in his hand, throwing a javelin at a window with bullets fired, and the screams of killing pigs instantly rang out, and a machine gun fell from the upper floor and fell to pieces.

Then he quickly picked up another car and smashed it out again.

The out-of-control helicopter spiraled and fell like autumn leaves, the propellers spun weakly, and the fuselage made contact with the ground and exploded into a fireball.

This series of actions stunned the people present, and the monster that was considered stupid and brainless and had no long-range attack suddenly made such an intelligent counterattack, which instantly made the staff of the remote command a little commotion.

"Whew!"

Come on! Come!

The irascible monster grabbed what it could grab and smashed it outward, and the windows through which the bullets shot became its targets. The fierce shooting sound gradually became intermittent in the frenzied smashing of the monster, until it finally calmed down.
