Chapter Seventy-Four: The Bloodstained Path
Under Susha's leadership, many refugees set out on their way home armed with weapons in hand.
A lot of people will die along the way.
But there is still a glimmer of life in their desperate efforts, and they do not want to be lambs to the slaughter again.
"Take cover and pay attention to your surroundings."
Su Xia began to conserve psionic energy and shrink the scope of metal control.
He couldn't kill the soldiers of Coral City alone, and these refugees also needed to go through the grind of blood and fire.
It was a night destined to bleed.
Gunshots rang out, and countless people woke up from their dreams.
The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the night, like a deadly death, gradually occupying the city limits outside the manor.
Every road, every building, has become a battlefield for harvesting life.
"Dada......"
Tongues of fire spewed and bullets flew.
On the low buildings not far away, Coral City arranged a number of fire points, and the sound of heavy machine guns and light machine guns alternately strafing was non-stop, and hot golden bullet casings jumped out and clanged on the ground.
The battlefield is more brutal than anyone can imagine, maybe one second you are alive, and the next second half of your head is gone.
Now, human life is more important than bullets.
They are only responsible for suppression, and do not need to make effective kills.
Even from a distance, you can hear a series of gunshots, like fireworks, but they are more deadly than fireworks.
"Whoa—whoa—"
A few tiny shards of metal pierced through the night wind, piercing the soldiers' necks, sending a cloud of blood mist.
Su Xia made a move, took off this firepower point, and then wiped it out casually, killing a few path-finding mechanical dogs.
He took away these weapons, as well as the night vision devices and other equipment on the dead soldiers.
Now the family is not rich enough, as long as it can be used, Su Xia will not let it go.
"Keep going! Watch for cover! ”
The armed refugees then followed, tying the upper echelons from the underworld and the manor to the front as humanoid shields, advancing step by step.
Most of them use the ditches on both sides of the road as cover, and although they have almost no formal training, they still know how to shoot, but their posture is not standard.
On the roads and buildings around the manor, dozens of corpses of Coral City soldiers who had not had time to evacuate were already lying there.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
Several shoulder-fired rockets exploded not far from the crowd, and the sound was like thunder.
There are some veterans in the Coral City soldiers on the opposite side, who are experienced, and they don't care about the specific location of the enemy, they only fire in the general direction, and run away after the fight.
The reality is different from the game, the game is full of soldiers, and they just want to kill more enemies, and they can be resurrected when they die.
But in reality, everyone just wants to live.
In a complex urban environment, an enemy will pop up without knowing where to go, and in this case, it is all about awareness and experience to save your life, and no matter how good the equipment is, it may not guarantee your survival.
"Remember, the bullet is the city lord's, but the life is your own!"
The veteran leader said this to the recruits and set an example with practical actions.
They directly pointed to the dark area where many refugees might exist, and said: "Don't be heartbroken with bullets, just shoot blindly in that direction, and whether you can hit or not depends on what God thinks!" ”
"Yes!"
In the darkness of the night, the sound of bullets spitting non-stop for a moment.
In this area, the sound of gunfire is heard in every street and every corner of the building, as if the enemy is everywhere.
The civilians shivered in the corners of their rooms, praying that the battle would end sooner rather than later, that neither side would bombard the building where they lived.
The human soldiers in Coral City lack night equipment, and most soldiers have close to zero experience in fighting in night cities, and there is even a situation where there is no distinction between friend and foe.
There seems to be some disagreement on the part of the command as well, so much so that the command from the beginning of the war to the present can only be described as chaos.
A light infantry company that had rushed to support confronted another who had come to support, and the two sides exchanged fire across the street, and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and individual rocket launchers were all beckoned, and they fought for more than ten minutes before they realized that the other side was a friendly soldier.
", where the hell is the enemy?"
"There seems to be a remnant of enemies near the manor."
"Momiji Street! We're fighting the enemy, and the firepower is fierce! Request support! ”
"Watch out for civilian casualties!"
"Gan! My house is on Momiji Street! ”
“……”
On Momiji Street, under the destruction of artillery fire, large and small shell craters have appeared on the street.
On both sides of the road, the buildings of residential buildings were covered with craters left by bullets, countless glass windows were shattered, and the screams and cries of civilians mingled with the smoke of artillery fire, which was particularly piercing on this night.
This avenue is a key point in the first few blockade chains outside the manor, and it must be broken through here!
In the residential buildings next to the road, there were even Coral City soldiers hiding, completely ignoring the safety of the civilians in the room.
"Dada......"
The firepower was intertwined, and the rain of bullets and bullets fell obliquely.
There were also snipers hiding in the shadows, and one of the refugees had just poked his head out of the ditch when his head was blown off.
Their tactics are ancient but useful, deploying machine gunners with holes in the walls of residential buildings, with the muzzles of the guns at a distance from the walls so that the muzzles of the guns cannot be seen from outside, and the high floors are manned with rockets and snipers.
At the same time, in the dark corner of Momiji Street, a large number of temporarily deployed mines are also buried.
"This street is very important, and if you get out of here, the road won't be so difficult again."
Time is pressing, if it drags on any longer, the reinforcements who arrived will complete the encirclement!
Su Xia took the lead alone, regardless of the loss of spiritual energy, pieces of metal stuck to his arms and legs, allowing him to soar into the air and fly in the night, like a missile, directly crashing into a residential building that was spewing fire.
He was like a grim reaper, with blood everywhere he passed, and the warm blood stained the gray cement bricks red.
Amid the screams of civilians, the Coral City soldiers in the building fell one by one.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe for the time being."
Su Xia comforted these civilians, did not stop, and flew to another residential building again.
Below, a large number of refugees are engaged in a close battle with the rest of the Coral City soldiers.
There were injuries on both sides, but on the whole, the refugee side was suppressed and died more.
At this moment, a special psionic bullet pierced through the barrier of heavy metal, like a deadly poisonous snake, heading straight for Su Xia.
"Boom!"
Although Su Xia blocked in time, the power of the bullet still knocked him backwards several meters away.
If the bullet had exploded inside him, he would have cracked on the spot.
Someone is coming from the other side!
Be a psionic creature of at least level 3.0 and have awakened psionic talents related to "sniping".
