Chapter 249: Fire Rain
A sudden boiling rain of fire blocked the offensive of the mutants, Xu Le looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a leather jacket, with rough facial features and a cold expression, and his temples were gray and heroic.
In terms of personal combat strength alone, Qi Lie, the head of the Operations Division of the 19th Bureau, as a trump card under Liu Yuanzhou, can rank in the top three among all the awakened - the other two are President Yang and Speaker Yu, who fought the demon dragon in the defense of the southern capital.
The strength of these three people was not at the same level as the other awakened people for a long time, and even Xu Le Fangyu, who was at the top of the second echelon, was far from them, which was a recognized fact.
When the demon tide descended on Shangjing, Qi Lie alone was able to hold a front, and where the flame flow passed, not a single grass grows, leaving only coke. No matter how many monsters poured out of the cracks, none of them were able to break out of the sea of fire.
During the Malawi encirclement and suppression operation, Xu Le was fortunate to see the fierce demeanor of this god of fire, and he waved a fireball with the effect of mixed incendiary aerial bombs.
Until then, it was hard for Xu Le to imagine a group of mutants surrounded by one person, until Xu Le saw Qi Lie rushing into the mutant lair alone, holding up a loudspeaker and shouting witticisms like "Miscellaneous people, you are surrounded by me", and while talking and laughing, he turned dozens of fleeing mutants into ashes with indiscriminate bombardment.
What's even more terrifying is that although Qi Lie did not open the third chain like Chairman Yang, his control of the flames has become more and more precise, and the way of creating and using flames has become more and more sophisticated.
In the past, Xu Le scoffed at this statement, and with Qi Lie's combat power in Malawi, there is still a big gap compared with Speaker Yu. But now it seems that Qi Lie has not done his best in the Malawi encirclement and suppression operation, and it was not until this fire rain fell from the sky that Xu Le clearly realized Qi Lie's true strength.
This is a real rain of fire, and the visual impact is far more shocking than hundreds of fireballs!
The torrential rain is composed of dense droplets, and the wisps of fire are as thin as hair, pervasive, and once they are stained, they are like appendages, and they do not want to get rid of them.
If it was hundreds of fireballs the size of a basin, Xu Le would still be able to avoid damage with his ability to reflex nerves at high speed, but there was almost no room to dodge in the dense rain of fire, and if Qi Lie had murderous intent, Xu Le would soon turn into a charred black corpse emitting thick smoke.
However, Xu Le, who stood still on the spot, was not hurt at all, and the fire droplets were like living creatures, obediently avoiding Xu Le and falling to other places, the fire droplets that fell to the ground would scatter and splash like water droplets, and soon there was a layer of magma-like flame flow on the ground, which shone with a moving light when flowing, and constantly released extremely high heat.
The heat wave hit and dried the sweat-stained clothes on Xu Le's body quickly, and also made a layer of fine beads of sweat appear on Xu Le's body.
And the two mutants closest to Xu Le had already been enveloped in the flowing fire, fluttering and falling to the ground. These mutants are painless, and the flames that burn their skin and muscles do not allow them to scream, but they can destroy their bodies and incapacitate them. It would be difficult for ordinary incendiary bombs to achieve this effect in a short period of time, but Xu Le, who was closer, could clearly see that flames were constantly flowing into their mouths, noses and ears, and the flames would scorch their skin, dissolve muscles and fat, making the hole bigger and bigger, and the speed of flame flow became faster, thinking that their brains were almost burned dry at this time.
"Team Xu!"
Xu Le heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw that there were many people behind him, and Wan Jie, the former deputy, ran to his side, and grabbed his wrist without saying a word.
"Team Xu! Walk! Wan Jie pulled Xu Le back hard, "Just leave it to the 'ashes' here, let's withdraw first!" ”
"Ashes" is a special combat group formed by Qi Lie, which is on par with "Dawn", "Judgment" and "Falcon" in terms of level, and is a few points higher in combat power and prestige, after all, the captain of "Ashes" is Qi Lie, and the prestige of the God of War is all based on the accumulation of corpses.
Xu Le couldn't help but be surprised, not only Qi Lie came with "ashes", but even his old subordinates came, in order to bring himself back, two ace teams were dispatched at the same time, which is enough to show the importance of the above.
"Bang!" Qi Lie, who was wearing a solo flying device, suddenly landed, his military boots stepped on the ground and made a roar, he looked back at Xu Le with a slight apology, and shouted: "You go first, leave it to me here." ”
Qi Lie said "I", not "we", it seems that the scene of singular encirclement and plural is going to be repeated again, after hearing Qi Lie's shout, the members of the "Ashes" team who arrived later rushed to the mutants, competing for prey is the consistent style of "Ashes".
How could Xu Le be willing to leave? He spent several days and nights smuggling into the American Federation in order to kill the mutants, but until now, the mutants of Xu Le's hand blade were only the batwing mutants just now.
But after throwing off his arm and raising the gun, Xu Le suddenly recalled the words left by Shengyi before leaving: "If you don't want them all to die here, it's better not to go crazy and withdraw obediently." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Le gritted his teeth and threw the gun in his hand into the sea of fire, and said in a deep voice: "Don't fall in love with the war, withdraw first!" ”
Wan Jie looked at Xu Le in surprise, he was about to give an order to use strong means to forcibly take Xu Le away, but he didn't expect Team Xu to take the initiative to retreat, thinking about the crazy energy he had when he was chasing and killing mutants before, and then looking at the Xu team in front of him, who was completely ruined, it didn't look like the same person at all.
Qi Lie also glanced at Xu Le in surprise, and then raised his hand to stop the Ash Squad from continuing the pursuit, allowing the remaining mutants to escape. With Qi Lie's belligerent character, the degree of persistence in chasing and killing the enemy on the battlefield will not be less than that of Xu Le, but now everyone is on the territory of the United States Federation, and there are not only a large number of mutants that need to be dealt with, but also the United States Federal Government, blind pursuit is not a wise choice, since Xu Le is recovered, then he should be evacuated immediately.
You must know that the top combat power of the mutants that appeared in this clearing is not counted, once the leaders of mutants of the level of Wen Yan and Bai appear, the two teams of Ash and Judgment are likely to be wiped out here, so the belligerent Qi Lie must also forcibly suppress his impulses to avoid complications.
"How do we get there?" Xu Le followed behind Wan Jie and asked as he retreated.
"They will send you to the Huaxia Embassy, and then someone will arrange for you to return to China, and we have other tasks. I'm sorry, Team Xu, I can only say so much, and the form that should be taken must also be gone. Wan Jie hurriedly finished speaking, put a pair of handcuffs on Xu Le, and stuffed Xu Le into an SUV.
The door slammed shut, Xu Le maintained a stiff sitting position, and watched through the window as those familiar figures left one after another, feeling that the thickened armored door separated the two worlds.
