103. Dying throes

The Cover Strike is an absolutely lethal firepower for the average fighter, but for the master, it can cause them some trouble at best. Unless he is directly hit by a small laser run, of course, in that case, even a ninth-level master would not dare to say that he will be able to survive.

Others didn't dare to say that when Zhao Li was observing the attack on the camp, he even consciously considered whether he would be killed if he was attacked by such a surprise attack in that camp. The rifle in his hand was still aiming, but his mind was already spinning rapidly, and he began to simulate, the density of the shell, his own speed, the danger he might feel, and so on.

It's a pity that although Zhao Li saw countless severed arms and stumps in his vision, a true master would never panic under such a sudden attack and become the target of a bullet. If it were Zhao Li himself, there was a high chance that he would be able to find a safe position in time and survive this kind of air attack.

The black prison mercenary, known as the third among the underground forces, cannot be without a master.

"Everyone, be careful, there are masters hiding!" Through the communicator, Zhao Li reminded all the operatives. When it comes to life and death, no one will let up.

James also heard Zhao Li's warning in the battleship, and he was still in the air, so he laughed a few times: "Is it very deep?" Let's get some big fireworks for you guys! ”

The battleship spun in circles in the air quickly, and now that the anti-aircraft fire on the ground had been destroyed by James and Christine, James could swagger around in circles. On battleships, it was almost a point shot with a thirty-millimeter cannon to kill people one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the super fireworks show starts now!" With James's voice like the host of the show, a bright light shone directly from the air into the barracks. Then, the illusory pillar of light circled around the base, as if drawing a circle, before disappearing.

Quietly, everyone who saw this scene was a little surprised, what is this? Virtual 3D video presentation? Where is the super fireworks James is talking about?

There was a silent silence that lasted for half a minute, as if James' attack had no effect. Only a few people knew that this was an attack by a particle weapon, and even if it was deep into the underground fortifications, it might not be able to stop it.

Then, after the silence, an even more terrifying explosion followed. The entire ground seemed to have been suddenly turned over by an invisible hand, and the shocking explosion erupted frantically with debris of various colors of concrete and other things mixed from the ground.

On the ground that James had attacked just now, after a series of explosions, there was even a burst of large-scale explosions of a large number of munitions being detonated, and the boom was endless, and a small mushroom cloud rose up.

Although the elite team and the people brought by James were well prepared, and all of them were well equipped, this explosion still made everyone dizzy. The ground shook beneath his feet, as if he had experienced a high-level earthquake. Fortunately, the mushroom cloud did not radiate the surname, but because the explosion was fierce and detonated a batch of oil, everyone had no safety problems except for some ears that were shocked and a little sad.

The camp in front of me has sunk by at least two meters, and all the buildings have collapsed, even if there are underground fortifications, if there are people inside, they are now buried in the ground.

Looking at the battleship that was still circling in the sky, and looking at the particle cannon that he helped James install with his own hands, Zhao Li couldn't help but churn in his mind. In this era when technology is so crazy, even if the martial arts cultivation is high, what can it do? Is it able to withstand the attack of such a weapon? Can it withstand the attack of a nuclear bomb?

This thought also flashed through his mind, and what Zhao Li was most concerned about was how effective this attack would be. He didn't expect that after using special weapons, the battle would become so easy and unchallenged, and with a few overlay attacks, it seemed that the elite fighters of the brigade could only be used to clean up the battlefield.

James is still hovering overhead, guarding the surroundings for everyone, temporarily acting as an AWACS aircraft. With a wave of Zhao Li's hand, the entire team rushed into the already messy camp.

The living mouth was basically unseen, and the strafing of the 30mm cannon, coupled with the final blow of the particle cannon, had left the people in the camp with no chance of survival.

However, despite this, everyone is still careful to clear one location after another, for fear that something will slip through the net. Speaking of which, this is the first official military operation in this area, so be careful.

Fortunately, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie walked around the ruins of the camp twice, and found no survivors. Because the weapon was too powerful, there were almost no intact corpses at the scene, and it was already very difficult to count, so I had to stop. Regardless of whether the enemy escaped from the camp this time, the purpose of deterrence has been achieved, and you can return to the barracks with confidence.

In a dense forest not far away, Wen Tianming pushed away the bark of a large tree hugged by several people in a certain direction, revealing a black hole. As the leader of the Black Prison Mercenaries, the only escape route in the camp is in his room. The moment he received the attack, he reacted and quickly entered the secret passage with four or five bodyguards who happened to be in his room.

Immediately afterwards, James's ion cannon attack covered a range of five meters underground, which also made Wen Tianming have to admire his quick decision. If that's not the case, even if there is a secret passage, you won't have a chance to get in.

For the first time, the military showed its powerful minions in the fringe area, which also made Wen Tianming frightened and afraid. For almost two hundred years, the military has not made such a big move, which has made countless people, including Wen Tianming, forget the power of the military. The cowardice shown by the soldiers of the garrison here made these indigenous guerrillas who had just had a few men and guns in their hands get carried away, and even dared to bully the poor guys who were sent here at will.

That kind of high-power weapon, no need to ask, except for the regular military, who can take it? Wen Tianming regretted for a while, he had long heard that there seemed to be a young officer here recently, as if he guessed that it was sent down from above to gild, and it was very similar to what was going on with those soldiers and ruffians. But how could he still not hold back, so uncalm in the face of the obvious provocative actions of the military?

Moreover, those unsuccessful subordinates dared to kill a soldier so blatantly, and also maim another soldier. If you knew it, you should restrain those guys, and don't cause trouble at will.

After all, it was a character who once dominated one side, and after a little remorse and fear, it immediately turned into a thick anger. There were at least two hundred people in that base, almost all of whom were his own henchmen, except for himself and four or five henchmen who escaped, and all of them were buried in the base.

This base is his capital, it is the real elite of the black prison mercenaries, and it is also a mercenary training camp, and every year more than twenty qualified mercenaries will come out of here to join various organizations in the marginal areas. This is also another channel to ensure the financial resources of the black prison mercenaries in addition to drugs, and now they have been wiped out by Zhao Li.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? Wen Tianming looked at the few people behind him, everyone was a master, and there were two bodyguards who even reached the eighth level, and they were also sideways figures in this area. When this happens, who will give up? Everyone's eyes flashed in unison, and they nodded at the same time.

In the three caves of the cunning rabbit, in the secret passage under this big tree, there is a small amount of weapons stored, which has not been detonated by the particle cannon. The six of them, all heavily armed, quietly disappeared into the dense forest.

In terms of familiarity, the guys who have been living here are much better than Zhao Li. Moreover, the few bodyguards at Wen Tianming's hand are all masters, two eighth-level, four seventh-level, even Wen Tianming himself is barely a seventh-level master, and the counterattack on the political axe army in the dense forest that he is familiar with in the dark night is still enough for Zhao Li and them to drink a pot.

The camp was destroyed too quickly, and the particle cannon attack left no room for further inspection. Now Zhao Li's task is to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.

Except for Christeen and Saunders, who both set up a sniper position on a high place, everyone else was slowly searching, cleaning up the battlefield by the way. There was even a person in charge of the video, which was to be shown to the TV station to give the rest of the people a deterrent.

"Woo", a faint voice sounded in Zhao Li's communicator, if you didn't pay attention, I really thought it would be a voice from the forest. However, Zhao Li felt alert for no reason.

"Each group confirms each other!" The order was given decisively, followed by an order to Sanders and Krestine: "Be careful, there may be enemies!" ”

Everyone's eyes were wide open, and their fingers were on the trigger. The cooperation of the five-person team was almost ripe, and the report was almost in Zhao Li's ears less than ten seconds after the order for confirmation was issued.

"Team 1 is normal!"

"Team 2 is normal!"

……

"The Seventh Squad lost one person!"

The communication was shared, and everyone's hearts sank when they heard the news. There are enemies!

In recent months, the main content of special training has been cooperation. Whether it is Zhao Li or James, they all know what level the people in their hands are, and it is impossible for them to suddenly become a peerless master, so the focus is on cooperation.

With tacit understanding, sometimes several people can also be used as a master. A figure had just flashed in the darkness, and was seen by a team member, and almost the entire team's firepower was concentrated in that area. The intense rain of bullets made it impossible for people hiding behind trees to show their heads.

I had just heard the familiar sound of bullets hitting the pins, and another team had already made a detour next to me. Even if he is an eighth-level master, in the face of so many guns and bullets, he has to hesitate after all.

So, just as the attacker hiding behind the tree poked his head out to determine the location of his attack, a red light hit his right eye.

Boom, the explosion of the small laser cannon almost destroyed the big tree where he was hiding. No matter how strong a master is, it seems that a small battleship is not as strong, especially if it hits a vulnerable part like the eye.

It was Sanders who fired the shot, and sure enough, he lived up to his reputation as a firearms expert, and the use of weapons was simply superb. Although Kristine next to her also used a laser cannon, she did not have the ability to seize such a brief opportunity. The students of the genius school are still strong in the first battle.

Immediately afterwards, another attacker was also discovered, but this guy didn't seem to care about the bullets at all, and the moment he was discovered, he had already rushed not far away, letting the bullets bounce on him, but there was nothing to do.

It's a pity that Saunders and Kristeen won't give him a chance to enter the crowd, and two dazzling rays of light will shine on him later. Without any accidents, this guy, who looked like a master, was also cleanly turned into a pile of minced meat that was almost melted.

"Seven o'clock, attention!" James's voice rang out over the communicator, he was in the air, turned on the life search scan, and it was easy to spot a few misfits.

The firepower of more than forty people, especially the two small laser cannons of Christine and Sanders, alternately covered, Wen Tianming only had six people, and two died, so he couldn't resist at all. What's more, there was an attack ship overhead, constantly frantically venting bullets at them, reporting directions to others.

"The firepower is too strong, withdraw!" There is no way, it is almost impossible to attack at this level of intensity.

Just as he was about to enter the hollow of the tree, a bullet passed through the knee of one of the bodyguards, and the whole person fell to the ground as if he had been pounced on by something.

"Hurry up, I'll drag you here!" Over the years, these people have also become good brothers in life and death, and their years of mercenary career have also made them know the ruthlessness of war. The guy who fell to the ground decisively leaned against the edge of the tree hole, and then shot at the pursuers.

Wen Tianming couldn't care about any more grief and anger, and took the remaining two people into the tree hole quickly. James' Life Scan immediately lost sight of his target.

"I surrender!" The injured guy watched Wen Tianming and them flee, and immediately began to shout loudly: "I know important information!" The implication is nothing more than to spare his life.

Of course, Zhao Li heard his voice, hesitated for a moment, and then saw Li Mengdie's gaze beside him. If you can survive the attack just now, there must be a secret passage here. This guy must be an important person, or a bodyguard of an important person, who knows some secrets, very likely.

"Put the gun down, hold your head in your hands!" With the shouts of the soldiers, the guy did not hesitate and sat with his head in his hands.

"What about the others?" There were soldiers shouting.

"There's a secret passage here!" The guy holding his head gestured to the side, then slowly stretched out his hand, trying not to cause everyone to misunderstand, and moved the bark that was blocking the tree, revealing the mouth of a black hole.

The guy was physically wounded and no longer threatened, and several soldiers stepped forward and pushed him to the ground. Then, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie stepped forward and began to carefully observe the entrance of the cave.

The guy who was pressed to the ground looked at Li Mengdie's rank of major, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

104. The line between life and death

It's been a long time since the residents of Golden Five Star have seen such a high-rated program, and the entire city, thousands of empty alleys, are watching the program that the TV station is currently broadcasting.

Today, the third-ranked underground force in the Golden Five Star Region, the headquarters of the Black Prison Mercenaries and the core training camp that even the local police dare not provoke casually, have now become a scorched earth. The wooden houses in the dense forest have long been destroyed, and the severed arms and stumps are scattered everywhere.

The picture on TV shows this scene, there is no living mouth, no prisoners, only a spokesman in military uniform acts as a reporter on the scene, and this reporter is also the same person used by Kang Hongyuan when he released the news.

The sound on the screen is no longer so important, and what people care about is, is it true or not? Ordinary residents would not have had the opportunity to go to the training camp for the Black Prison Mercenaries, and they had no idea if it was really a training camp or not. However, those who are in the other underground forces are well aware.

Ordinary people don't care how bright and free the society here is, they only care about their stomachs and later life. If this news is true, it shows that the military is not as weak as those underground forces shout, and it still has a tough side.

Those who are interested will speculate how many talents the military has used to achieve such an effect. After all, the law here prohibits the garrison of more than 200 people in the barracks, and the weapons can only be conventional weapons.

Among them, we also need to consider the masters of the black prison, how many masters does the military need to dispatch? In this place, is the military actually willing to send out masters? Or has the wind changed direction and is about to do something here? Those guys in the Black Prison are very good at it, and they are not the kind that can be solved by a group of ordinary soldiers with ordinary weapons.

The local legislators also frowned at the news, and what they were most worried about was that the military had violated the law here and sent a large group of people to come, in this case, there would be a lawsuit to be fought.

As for the agents of those underground forces, they are more concerned, and sometimes, it is not necessary to take revenge on certain people. Under certain conditions, reasonable and legal means can be used to make the guys who have been retaliated against speechless. You don't have to use your own resources, but you can also achieve your goals. These people are now making this calculation in their hearts.

No one believes that the military will do these things without foreign aid and only with local forces. In any case, this lawsuit is indispensable.

There is nothing to say on the militia's side, after all, under James's control, the remaining two forces are beginning to be a little nervous.

No one is stupid, the most powerful forces in the Black Prison are still concentrated in the training camp, and the others are too scattered. Now that the training camp has been hit by the Destruction Caste, and the leader does not know life or death, it is the best time to annex this force. Manpower is not a problem, the key is the territory, and one more piece of controlled territory means more income. The people who live in this land have never spoken of any morality.

However, the momentum and combat ability of the army to raze the Black Prison Headquarters overnight also made the Black Dragon Society and the LTTE fearful. It also made several leaders vaguely regret it, I knew that I would not be so arrogant that day, but now it is a bit difficult to ride a tiger. It is a little unwilling to find the military to make it clear, and it is also a little faceless, but if you don't make it clear, you must always prevent the military from attacking.

Preemptive? Mobilize all your forces and wipe out that military base once and for all? It's cool, but it doesn't seem like there's any good fruit to eat. Judging from the toughness that the military is showing now, if it is really done, then it will not be able to mix in this place.

In fact, those guys who beat and killed people were originally people from the black prison, and some guys from peripheral organizations who didn't know the severity of the situation, and the military chose to crack down, and there was absolutely no mistake. Regrettably, the Black Dragon Society and the LTTE could not stand the military's provocations, and at the same time admitted it in public. This gave the military an excuse to attack in the open.

Except for the Golden Five Star, the military in other regions are staring at the changes here. This is the first time that the local military force has been relied solely on to fight the local underground forces. All the garrisons knew and wanted to know the results. No one wants to live that in a bunch, especially as a soldier.

The situation of the Golden Five Star seems to be a bit of a danger that is about to erupt!

In the barracks, Zhao Li looked at Li Mengdie, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, and felt a pain in his heart. It's been three hours, and Li Mengdie still hasn't woken up. Kristine was only able to stabilize the injury a little, but it could only delay the deterioration, and it could not make Li Mengdie better.

In the secret passage of the tree hole, there is also a foolproof preparation, just under the huge tree, the perimeter of the tree hole is full of high explosives, connected to a detonator, as long as the remote control button is pressed, it will explode immediately.

Or an ordinary firearm is not a big threat to a level 8 master, however, tons of high explosives are the same for anyone.

The remote was shoved in the guy's mouth, and although the soldiers had held his hands and feet, they couldn't stop him from biting down on the button with the slightest force.

When he saw Li Mengdie and Zhao Li appear, he knew that this was the supreme commander of this army. I have long heard that there is a young lieutenant here, but I didn't expect that there is still a major hidden.

Zhao Li also felt the danger at that moment, the guy who was held down exuded a killing intent all over his body, and he was not surprised on the battlefield, but when he saw Zhao Li and Li Mengdie appear, he suddenly burst into flames, which was a little abnormal.

But Zhao Li only had time to shoot at that guy, and then shouted at everyone: "Disperse, hide!" Although the words had already been spoken, it was already a little late.

The violent explosion instantly submerged a radius of twenty or thirty meters, and everyone present was enveloped in it. The four or five soldiers who were pressing the guy next to the hollow of the tree were the first to bear the brunt.

At the moment of life and death, Li Mengdie made a move that no one expected, turned around quickly, turned her back to the flames of the explosion, and protected Zhao Liyan tightly in front of her. Both hands grabbed Zhao Li's arm, making him unable to move at all.

The explosion threw countless people away from the spot, far away. At the critical moment, Zhao Li could only use the basic physical fitness technique to the extreme, and in terms of resisting heavy blows, the nameless exercises were far inferior.

With a bang, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie hit a home run as if they had been hit hard by a baseball bat, flew high, and fell far away. In the air, Zhao Li fell into darkness.

When Zhao Li woke up, there was still a buzzing sound in his head, he was dizzy, his mind was blank, and he had no memory of how to appear here. Fortunately, the scene in front of me is very familiar, it should be the dormitory of the barracks.

Zhao Li shook his head, as if shaking the dizziness out of his head, but it didn't seem to have a good effect. There was some pain in the back, but it wasn't very serious. I closed my eyes and practiced the basic physical fitness technique for a week, and my dizziness in my mind felt better, and then I began to think about what was going on.

Yes, during the attack on the Black Prison Mercenary headquarters, that guy detonated the explosives. Li Mengdie! Oops, Zhao Li secretly screamed in his heart and hurriedly rushed out of the house.

The soldiers outside didn't know what they were sorting out, and when they saw Zhao Li coming out, they all stopped what they were doing. Seeing the corpses at their feet, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel dizzy. There were at least five bodies lying on the ground, all covered with white cloths.

Zhao Li walked up to the corpses, pulled up the white cloth one by one, and looked at their familiar faces. The soldiers had long since been cleaned up by the soldiers, and their faces looked serene. However, several corpses were only facial intact, and all of them seemed to be missing. Judging by the blood oozing from the white cloth, even these were pieced together.

Standing up, Zhao Liqiang endured the grief in his heart, stood up to a standard, and solemnly saluted all the corpses on the ground. This action also infected everyone else, there was no order, no language, but all the soldiers present were solemn and saluted.

"What about the others?" Lao Lai was also beside him, and Zhao Li asked in a low voice. Although Lao Lai looked a little embarrassed, he was very flexible in his actions and did not look injured.

"There are also three brothers who were injured and are in the infirmary. The rest is here! Zhao Li listened to Lao Lai's answer, looked up and looked around, and sure enough, he saw the faces of those people. Everyone was walking around, and it seemed that they were not injured, which also made Zhao Li feel a little better in his heart.

"Let's go and see the other brothers!" Zhao Li didn't know what to say at this time, so he just said in a low voice. Lao Lai didn't say anything, stood up and led Zhao Lixiang over there.

After walking a few steps, he had already left the place where the soldiers gathered, Zhao Liqiang endured the tears in his eyes and did not flow down, and asked the old man in front of him in a low voice: "Lao Lai, you say, do the soldiers hate me very much?" ”

"Hate you? Because you let us know about self-esteem? Sir! Lao Lai's eyes kept looking ahead, and he didn't look back: "Or are you going to teach those damned murderers a lesson for our brothers?" ”

"Because of my presence, you have offended those guys outside. And because of my command, the brothers lost their lives, and they still have no corpses! Zhao Li also looked ahead, and the moment he saw the corpses of those soldiers, Zhao Li almost didn't control himself. Until now, I have endured my grief and not let my tears fall.

"Sir, we are soldiers, and from the day we join the army, we know what the possible outcome will be. In the past, we lived one day at a time, not knowing why we were alive. Now we live one day at a time, one day at a time, a day with dignity! Lao Lai's body is straight, and his walking is also a regular walking movement: "It is worth it to die when you avenge your brothers!" As he spoke, the tears on his face flowed silently.

Zhao Li followed Lao Lai, and of course saw the tears on his face. I also have such an indescribable feeling, but Zhao Li is the chief after all, and when he was about to arrive at the door of the medical room, Zhao Li stopped Lao Lai: "Don't let the injured brothers see your tears!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Stretching out his sleeves and wiping his face indiscriminately, Lao Lai looked much better. However, at the moment of stepping in, Lao Lai paused: "Sir, you have to be mentally prepared!" There was no beginning or end to the sentence, but Zhao Li's heart sank.

The three wounded fighters were injured for the same reason, all because of the last explosion, one was slightly injured, but was blown up by the shock wave and fell to the ground, and the other two were a few more wounds on their bodies, all of which were the result of shrapnel flying sideways. Now that the bandage has been completed, except for the one with minor injuries, the other two people seem to have been injected with sleeping drugs and are sleeping. Fortunately, there is no need for amputation, as long as you rest for a few days, you can recover.

Worried about what happened to Li Mengdie, Zhao Li comforted the soldier a few words, and then walked towards the critical injury room over there. Where are there still a few people's voices, very low, not knowing what to argue.

Entering the door, Zhao Li saw Li Mengdie's figure. The slender body was lying quietly on the side of the hospital bed, and the hand of Christine next to him kept touching Li Mengdie's body, as if it was constantly inputting true qi.

The violent explosion was because Li Mengdie was in front of him, so Zhao Li had no injuries around his body, but he was a little dizzy from the shock wave and sound wave of the explosion, and it was estimated that there was some scratching when he fell. And Li Mengdie is obviously not as lucky as Zhao Li.

"It is estimated that almost two tons of high explosives exploded at that time!" Sanders is also there, he is an expert in ordnance and explosives, what is the extent of the explosion, the approximate amount of explosives, he can estimate it by just listening to the sound, not to mention the scene of the explosion not far away.

The explosion was too close to Li Mengdie and Zhao Li. Even Li Mengdie's cultivation of the eighth-level exercise would not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, the body armor and invisible underwear on his body also offset part of the power of the explosion, which was able to save his body and ensure the safety of Zhao Li behind his body, but until now, Li Mengdie still has not woken up.

There was no wound, but the skin on the back of Li Mengdie's body showed a bruised color, which was the result of being slapped by a huge force and the interaction of his own strong body protection exercises. Despite being in a coma, Li Mengdie would spit out a small mouthful of blood from time to time, which caused a violent cough.

Internal bleeding, coupled with very serious internal injuries, Kristine's hand did not dare to leave Li Mengdie's body at all, once there was no support from Kristine, it was likely that Li Mengdie would die.

Looking at Li Mengdie's somewhat hungry and pale face, Zhao Li's mind has been replaying the strange smile of the guy at that time, and then shot himself, but Li Mengdie pounced on the scene in front of him. I don't know if I remember it wrong from time to time, but Li Mengdie's expression at that time seemed to be very happy.

(To be continued)
