Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!
Chapter 105 - 17 Thorough Suppression

Chapter 105: Chapter 17 Thorough Suppression

When the Mechanical God Sect and the Holy Blood stood at a distance, hoping the monster would destroy their enemies, the people of Yellow Stone City were engaged in a life-and-death battle with the suddenly attacking monster.

When Chen Jian led the team to the lakeside, the monster was only 900 meters away from them.

Lei Jie’s squad had just arrived at the lakeshore, barely steadying themselves before they deployed the thermobaric rocket shells carried on their shoulders.

"Move!"

Lei Jie shouted loudly, kicking Huang Yu in front of him, then pulled the trigger.

With a soft click, the rocket tube set to its maximum range spewed flames.

The shell drew a high arc, falling in the direction of the distant monster.

Chen Jian didn’t have time to follow the shell’s trajectory; once certain the monster was following, he quickly turned the vehicle around and shouted to Li Shi, who was rushing with the 301 heavy machine gun:

"Li Shi, get in the car!"

"We need suppressive fire!"

"Got it!"

Li Shi shouted back, dragged his injured leg a few paces, and leapt onto the cat car, his heavy body causing it to sink slightly.

"Let’s go!"

Chen Jian floored the gas pedal, and the cat car charged toward the monster.

Huang Yu, who had just gotten back on his feet, was completely dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Didn’t they just escape back here?

Why are they turning back?

What are they off to do?

Countless thoughts swirled in Huang Yu’s mind, but he hadn’t the time to dwell on them, as Lei Jie’s second kick landed on his rear.

"Don’t stand there! Make some noise!"

"Throw grenades, start fires, shoot!"

"We need to suppress the monster, while you draw its attention and create opportunities for the assault team!"

"Got it!"

Huang Yu immediately flipped to his feet, pulling a grenade from his waist, and after briefly orienting himself, hurled it into the empty space ahead.

He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.

This is a grenade, just throwing it like that?

But then he realized, no equipment is more precious than people.

His task now was to follow orders and create opportunities for those risking their lives upfront, at any cost!

He raised his 191, firing fiercely at the approaching monster.

The enemy was already very close.

The nearby explosion of the rocket shell slowed it down slightly, rendering it silent for a short time.

But if it isn’t kept under control, those approaching would still die!

No time to waste!

Gunshots rang out densely, and at this moment, Lei Jie pulled the trigger once again.

"Boom!"

A brilliant fire cloud erupted less than 40 meters from the monster, enveloping it afterwards.

Pulled by an overwhelming negative pressure, the monster stumbled down from the treetops.

Its huge body crushed an entire section of trees, and when it rose again, its movements became even more frenetic.

----But, when it tried to roar, it was shocked to find its "throat" seemed to be mute.

The overpressure from the thermobaric bomb had emptied the air from its lungs; if not for its strongly built body, it might have already succumbed to the high temperature and overpressure, dropping dead!

The monster greedily tried to inhale air, but the oxygen-free air left it suffocating, and as it dashed forward, trying to escape the suffocating "domain", another thermobaric bomb precisely landed beside it.

At that moment, it let out a short howl.

Yet, the nearly evacuated air in its lungs significantly weakened the sound wave’s power.

Lei Jie glanced at the timer on his smart goggles, then said:

"One thermobaric bomb can control it for about 10 seconds, I have 10 left, hurry captain!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jian replied briefly, and meanwhile, Li Shi, who was wielding the 301 heavy machine gun, opened fire.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang-----"

Bullets rained towards the distant monster; although only very few managed to land nearby due to the cat car’s bumping, even one or two hits were enough to severely disrupt the monster.

The 12.7mm caliber bullets aren’t for fun!

No matter how thick your skin’s keratin layer is, but you don’t have an exoskeleton like "Mongolia"!

Without even chitin protection, isn’t it like tearing paper to smash you with my ten thousand joules of kinetic energy?

The bullets instantly pierced through the monster’s body, as it rampantly sought its attack source, but before it could react, another thermobaric bomb landed nearby.

This time, the distance was closed to 800 meters, and the shell precisely landed beside its head.

"Boom!"

The monster rolled trying to escape, its sharp claws swept across the forest, but only in impotent release.

Very close now.

Chen Jian’s hands held the steering wheel steady, rapidly increasing the speed to over 60 kilometers.

Only the last hundred meters left for him to enter the 400-meter range.

A 400-meter range, firing at a target over ten meters tall, if he misses this, he really deserves a promotion.

"Prepare to fight!"

Chen Jian decisively ordered, and when another thermobaric bomb sounded, he resolutely slammed on the brakes.

Accompanied by the grinding sound, the trio swiftly jumped out of the car.

Li Shi, using the posture he learned from Shen Yue, half-crouched and took point shots with the 301 heavy machine gun, while Chen Jian quickly unfolded the weapon mount on his back.

"Open fire!"

With a single order, two armor-piercing shells and one breaching shell were instantly fired out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Successive explosions sounded.

One rocket shell narrowly missed the target, blocked by a large tree in front of the monster.

But the last breaching shell hit the monster’s right shoulder and exploded!

The tandem warhead instantly activated; the first-stage hollow charge armor-piercing warhead plunged into the monster’s flesh, and after a blast, a large hole was blown open in the monster’s shoulder.

Then, the second-stage fragmentation explosion warhead detonated.

A devastating blast erupted from the flesh, countless fragments flew out, completely "shearing off" the monster’s entire right arm!

The monster opened its mouth as if to roar, but another thermobaric bomb suppressed its voice.

"Second round!"

Chen Jian gave a brief order.

Immediately, two rocket shells were fired simultaneously.

He had no time to reload the recoilless gun, but the rocket shells sufficed!

This time, both shells hit the target.

One struck the chest, and the other tore through the monster’s tail.

The scorching metal jet penetrated the flesh, smoke, and the smell of burning rapidly spread.

The monster lost support and fell, but its remaining left arm continued to flail wildly.

"Close enough!"

"Li Shi, the field of fire is clear, aim well, start with the head and throat!"

"Yes!"

Li Shi took a deep breath, slightly adjusted his aim, and followed the twisting monster as he fired.

The trees previously plowed down by the monster no longer blocked the assault team’s line of sight. Chen Jian even wondered if the monster had brains, would it regret leaving the dense forest.

If it hadn’t pursued, it wouldn’t have died.

But for the monster, remorse was meaningless.

As Chen Jian had already pulled out a third, and also the last rocket launcher, advancing under the thermobaric explosion to within 200 meters.

He couldn’t afford to miss.

Chen Jian took a deep breath.

The air, having been swept by the thermobaric bomb, was still considerably thin, but his heartbeat slowly calmed.

The monster was still writhing on the ground, putting up its last struggle.

It remained a gigantic threat, intently could it suddenly surge up violently, and Chen Jian would stand no chance.

But at this moment, Chen Jian entered an immensely confident state.

Just like he always told the rookies, an invisible line connected the barrel to the target.

A moment later, he pulled the trigger, and the rocket fired.

"Boom!"

The explosion echoed.

The rocket hit the side of the monster’s neck, the metal jet gushed out, thoroughly destroying the nerve, vessel, and muscle of the neck.

Death ensued in an instant.

Chen Jian gestured to Li Shi to follow up, without needing much instruction, and after clearly seeing the motionless target lying on the ground, he unloaded the remaining dozens of bullets from his gun, completely "grinding down" the monster’s skull.

Lei Jie at the rear had evidently seen the situation here, and the thermobaric bombardment had ceased.

"It’s over."

Chen Jian exhaled a long breath.

Then, he spoke:

"Lei Jie, bring the mortar forward a bit."

"There’s a boat about 3 kilometers in a straight line from my position straight east, with someone aboard."

"No matter who they are, give them a shell as a warning from us!"
