Chapter 131: Chapter 39 Counter Ambush_2

From a man with a scarred face, he got the answer.

He had once resisted with the residents of Wangjiang Town, but the numerous Terror Demons nearly wiped them out.

Clearly, the Huadu people had indeed begun to grasp the method of controlling Blood Skulls.

Perhaps they started with controlling high-intelligence Blood Skulls.

Chen Jian remembered what the monster at Wushan Lake had said before dying.

"We are about to succeed."

What success?

Successfully turning the loosely organized Blood Skulls into a powerful clan?

Chen Jian could clearly feel that these Huadu people were brewing a huge conspiracy.

And the key to unraveling this mystery lies in Anqing.

We must get there as soon as possible, without any delay.

Chen Jian made a decisive call and said:

"We are leaving immediately."

"Your problems will be solved, although we can’t guarantee it will be immediate, but you can also make some changes."

"If merchants come again, and you think they are not powerful, don’t hesitate, eliminate them."

"Don’t worry about retaliation."

"We can assure you that before we return, they won’t have the energy to retaliate!"

"...Alright."

The scar-faced man accepted the bullets from Shen Yue’s hand, with a glint of determination in his eyes.

Chen Jian didn’t hesitate, waving his hand, and the team immediately moved out.

The two tracked vehicles continued eastward, and this time, their target was... directly heading to Anqing.

...

Two hours later, the team arrived at Wangjiang Town, mentioned by the scar-faced man.

Chen Jian originally planned to take a short break in this small town and gather some intelligence, but seeing the dead silence of the town, he immediately realized it was too late.

There was no trace of any living person here, and a stench of decay lingered in the air.

Ji Xing, with a more sensitive sense of smell, had already frowned, while Chen Jian ordered everyone to wear respirators. Those who didn’t have respirators, like Zeng Yi and others, used thick cloth to cover their noses and mouths, serving as temporary masks.

Next, the team entered the residential area, and a horrifying scene instantly appeared before them.

Scattered along the road lay many corpses, most of which had already decomposed, and some were even reduced to skeletons.

The reason for describing them as "scattered" was that almost none of the corpses were complete.

The town that had been attacked by Terror Demons completely revealed the monsters’ bloodthirsty nature. They were no longer just killing but treating human bodies as some sort of dismantlable playthings.

A massive pile of skulls was accumulated in a large, vine-woven basket, with fragments of skulls and hair scattered around it, as if someone had thrown heads into the vine basket for amusement.

Femur bones were inverted and inserted into the soft ground, piled up like logs for a bonfire, and the ground was littered with traces of burning and dripping grease.

Rotting entrails spawned nauseating fungal blankets on the walls, and birds pecked at maggots falling from the walls, craning their necks to swallow the maggot eggs mixed with human blood and flesh.

Chen Jian felt sick to his stomach.

He had seen real war scenes before.

During combat missions, he had witnessed large-caliber artillery shells blasting several armed drug traffickers into blood mists.

But "war" was still war.

The pure slaughter brought by war could never match the disgust from the scenes before his eyes.

He exhaled gently and said:

"There are no living people here."

"The value of this settlement has been drained. The reason they killed everyone could very well be to destroy evidence."

"Let’s go, don’t waste time here, head to Anqing, there..."

"Abnormal heat source! Abnormal heat source!"

Before Chen Jian finished speaking, the drone in the air suddenly issued a warning.

"Enemy ambush!"

He shouted.

The team instantly became alert. Zeng Yi and Xie Liu leaped onto the roof, Li Shi advanced to stand beside Chen Jian, while the others quickly unlocked their weapons, took favorable positions, and controlled all possible attack directions.

Ji Xing was the only one a step behind, only leaping onto the roof following Xie Liu’s actions after everyone had taken their positions.

By this time, Chen Jian had already seen the incoming enemies through the images transmitted back by the drone.

"Terror Demons!"

"Quite a number of them!"

Chen Jian ordered in a deep voice:

"Everyone, withdraw from the urban area, block nearby roads."

"Xie Liu and Zeng Yi, stay in the urban area, continue to divert the enemy’s attention."

"We need to surround them here and annihilate them all!"

"Understood!"

Without any hesitation, everyone in the team moved immediately.

Ji Xing closely followed Chen Jian, asking in surprise:

"What are you doing? With just a few of you, how can you encircle them?"

"These Terror Demons number at least dozens, and they have weapons!"

"They’re not Water Ghosts; they’re smarter!"

"If you can’t fight, just watch!"

Chen Jian didn’t give much explanation but directly charged onto the tracked vehicle, utilizing its high mobility to quickly occupy the predetermined encirclement positions.

Meanwhile, the others also took their positions one by one.

The five of them left a gap on the north side, and a large number of Terror Demons launched their attack from there.

"Bang!"

The first gunshot rang out, but it wasn’t from Chen Jian’s team; it came from the Terror Demons.

Zeng Yi had already pinpointed the firing position, using cover for protection, and calmly fired a short burst with his 191 at the shooting Terror Demon.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The enemy fell immediately, and simultaneously, more gunfire erupted from the north side.

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

"Boom!"

Along with the gunshots, there was also a dull explosion. The Terror Demons threw grenades in Zeng Yi’s direction, then charged excitedly toward him and Xie Liu.

Having not savored the taste of slaughter for too long, these Terror Demons, stranded here, had gone mad.

Amidst the dense rain of bullets, Zeng Yi and Xie Liu couldn’t withstand it, constantly dodging and luring the Terror Demons deeper into the residential area.

Chen Jian calmly observed their positions, and when He Shuo confirmed that the last enemy had entered the trap, he patted Li Shi on the shoulder and said:

"Go!"

Li Shi moved immediately.

Although his leg injury hadn’t fully healed, he moved with swift agility.

The two advanced into the city one after the other, with Li Shi’s M301 heavy machine gun roaring, spitting bullets that tore through everything in their path.

Chen Jian, following close behind Li Shi, used his 191, systematically picking off the Terror Demons with precise shots, using Li Shi’s body as a shield.

What? Heavy armored units have no advantage in urban warfare?

What if my armored unit is humanoid?

"Li Shi! Watch the right side!"

Chen Jian shouted, and Li Shi adjusted his gun.

Meanwhile, Chen Jian advanced, deploying a weapon rack to use the M201 squad machine gun, suppressing the enemy attacking from the left, completely thwarting their close-combat intentions.

The smell of gunpowder spread in the air, gradually overpowering the original strong stench.

Without stopping, Chen Jian and his companion advanced using a star-shaped contraction route to converge toward the center with the other three.

At this point, Xie Liu and Zeng Yi had already escaped danger using cover, but they didn’t retreat south; instead, they circled around to block the Terror Demons’ last escape route.

Gunfire came from all directions, and the Terror Demons, driven by their lust for blood, finally felt fear.

They desperately threw all their explosives, but in the loose formation created by single-person coordination, the grenades caused very limited damage.

All the Terror Demons attempting to break out of the encirclement were pinned in place. When they finally gathered in a clearing in the residential area, trying to launch one last desperate charge, Chen Jian gave a new order.

"Throw grenades!"

In an instant, seven grenades were thrown simultaneously.

But what they threw were genuine 82-2P1 defensive hand grenades!

"Boom! Boom!"

After the loud explosions, shrapnel swept across, blood mist filled the air, leaving only a few Terror Demons barely clinging to life on the open ground.

The team opened fire, finishing off all the Terror Demons.

The gunfire paused for a moment, but just then, the drone issued another alert.

"Abnormal heat source!"

Chen Jian looked toward the direction the drone indicated, the sleeves of missiles on the weapon rack already deployed.

In the next second.

"Boom!"

A monster that leaped high was shot down from the air.

Its body shattered before it even hit the ground.

Blood rained down, and from start to finish, Ji Xing, who hadn’t engaged, was left speechless.

That monster...

Its strength might not reach the standard of a Level 4 Monster, but its speed matched her own.

And its meticulously planned ambush was thwarted in an instant.

Without even a ripple...
