Volume 3 Scarlet Dawn Chapter 14 Night Attack
On the rooftop on the second floor, Karn took a long puff of the cigarette in his hand. Tilt your head and exhale white gas mixed with nicotine in your lungs from your mouth. He lifted the picture he held in his hand and put it in front of him, the only thought his wife Krestina had left for him.
When the war broke out, she contracted tuberculosis. At that time, he was being sent to North Africa to fight the British. His biggest regret is that he couldn't see his wife for the last time before she died.
Thinking of this, Karn's mind couldn't help but see the figure of Martha. After entering Stalingrad at the end of August, he met Martha for the first time among the civilians who had been taken from the Western district to work as laundry workers. This Russian woman, who looked a little thin due to lack of food, was strikingly similar in appearance to her dead wife.
That very night, he took possession of the Russian woman almost violently. She wept silently, much like Christina when she cried. Even her body felt familiar to herself.
"I'm going to see Martha tomorrow, the boxes of canned food I brought her last time should be almost finished." Karn thought silently to himself. How he wished that this battle would end as soon as possible. In this way, he will not lose Martha again after losing Krestina.
A muffled "boom" came from downstairs, sounding like a grenade exploding. Karn hurriedly took his wife's picture into his arms. Reached for the Schmeiser submachine gun that was set aside. In the dense gunfire that followed downstairs, he cautiously walked to the exit from the rooftop to the second floor.
"Captain Karn! The Russians stormed the hall! Corporal Jugens hurried up the stairs. Almost collided with Karn.
"Jugens, you go to the basement from the fire ladder! Send a report to the division headquarters and immediately send planes to blow up all the oil storage tanks! Hardly thinking, Karn gave his own order.
"But Captain, that's all the fuel reserves of the division!"
"Listen, corporal! Do as I command, or I'll kill you right now!" Karn put the muzzle of his gun to his jaw, interrupting Jugens.
"Live Jugens well!" He reached out and patted the communications soldier who had been following him for almost a year, and rushed into the hallway on the second floor
Zhou Qi held his shield high in his left hand and rushed to the second floor along the corridor on the right side of the smoke-filled hall. In the corridors and rooms on the first floor, from time to time, the screams of human beings before they died could be heard. With the powerful attributes of the Contractors, these German soldiers with an average of less than 15 attributes could not make a big wave.
The bullet struck the dragon-patterned shield with a dense crunching sound, and the surface of the shield continued to bounce sparks from the starting point. The Germans concentrated their fire on the narrow staircase. The two Soviet soldiers who rushed up the stairs with Zhou Qi were beaten into a sieve as soon as they showed their heads.
There was a sudden palpitation in my heart! Zhou Qi pounced forward, and a grenade landed behind him and exploded. He felt numb in a few places on his back, like being bitten by an oversized mosquito!
From his back, there was a feeling of friction between muscle and metal, and he knew that he had been shot. Quickly checked his blood volume, and saw that he had only been deducted more than 60 points, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That's the number of damage after being hit by multiple bullets!
After collecting the set, in addition to gaining speed bonuses and frenzy skills, the newly acquired Executor Leggings provide him with 5 points of Constitution and 5 points of adaptability.
With a total of up to 40 Constitution points, the physical damage taken is reduced to 80% of the HP deduction, and the extra defense provided by the Soul Bracer makes it difficult for a normal firearm to pose a lethal threat to him.
There are many ants that can bite and kill elephants, so naturally the Germans upstairs cannot be allowed to shoot indiscriminately. Thinking of this, he put away his scimitar and raised his hand to throw a fireball. The area of 9 square meters covers the entire narrow entrance. The flames, with a violent explosion, engulfed a stunned group of German soldiers. The gunfire of the masterpiece stopped abruptly.
"Da da da......" A string of bullets was sprayed head-on at Zhou Qi as he rushed up the stairs. There was a tingling and paralyzing sensation in his chest and abdomen, and Zhou Qi hurriedly raised his shield to protect his head and face. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he could see a German soldier climbing the stairs in the corner of the balcony through the broken window.
Zhou Qi raised his shield and rushed towards the depths of the corridor following the direction where the bullets were flying. Under the squeezing of the muscles in his body, the bullets embedded in the skin fell to the floor one by one.
At this time, he had clearly seen that the man who was shooting at him was a German officer, judging from the style of his military uniform and his epaulettes!
"This style of painting is wrong!" Zhou Qi's mind reacted immediately. He could see the soldier as a deserter, and for him, of course, that didn't matter. There is no shortage of brave men in war, and there will definitely be cowards. What's more, the blood points obtained from a soldier are far less than the officer in front of him.
But what if the German officer in front of him was there to cover the soldier? Then there's definitely something wrong with that!
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi stopped. With a flick of his free arm to his right, he punched a large hole in the wall between the hallway and the balcony with a 40 strength bonus.
"Russians, you don't want to go anywhere!" Just when Zhou Qi raised his foot and was about to chase after him, the German officer in the corridor roared and pounced on him, and the speed was not slow! The sharp dagger in his hand went straight to his throat.
Zhou Qi rolled to the right, dodging the dagger at the same time, his wrist flipped, and the scimitar was already in his hand. He glanced and saw that the soldier seemed to have climbed down the stairs. The German officer in front of him was holding a dagger and was about to pounce.
It seems that he guessed correctly, he is indeed doing cover!
Kahn looked at the "Russian!" in front of him with astonishment. The scimitar and shield made him look more like an ancient samurai. But he was obviously wearing a strange combat uniform. Whoever he is, he must be held back. Until Jugens completes his mission.
Thinking of this, Karn lunged forward, and as the dagger stabbed out, his left back was already gripping the handle of the pistol at his waist. As long as this guy shows his flaws, he is very sure that he will shoot him through the head in an instant.
The dagger slammed straight into his ribs, Karn had already drawn his spear, and the moment he raised his hand, a light seemed to flash under the feet of his opponent in front of him! Immediately after, his figure appeared on the edge of the balcony in an instant.
"No!" Karn pulled the trigger desperately, and after the gunshot, there was no one on the balcony but him.
