Chapter 142: Chapter 46 Kill One Whenever One Comes_2

He took a deep breath, staring intently at the image displayed on the tactical goggles.

On the surface of the central lake of Linghu, less than a kilometer away from him, a monster he had never seen before was rapidly approaching.

It was clearly human, but the grotesque mutations that granted it great power had also stripped away most of its human features.

Twisted muscles torn and exposed, repulsive decaying skin, proliferating bones piercing through, and a completely deformed head...

It looked like a Water Ghost.

But it was definitely a larger and more twisted version of a Water Ghost.

One word flickered through Chen Jian’s mind.

Abomination.

No, not the one from Invincible Hulk, but the one from Warcraft III.

Chen Jian found it hard to imagine how such a monster could survive in a clearly extremely deteriorated state of health or how it had mutated the ability to live in water.

But none of that mattered anymore.

As soon as it got within 500 meters, it entered Chen Jian’s kill zone.

In the end, you’re still not big enough!

Chen Jian unfolded the weapon rack, and the smart goggles guided the infrared seeker of the arm missile towards the distant target.

Then, a double salvo!

Two arm missiles shot out, heading straight towards the target at 900 kilometers per hour.

The cold lake surface became the perfect backdrop, and the creature, with body heat far above the water’s, became the most conspicuous target on this background.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two consecutive explosions sounded, with the missiles precisely hitting their target.

Carrying immense kinetic energy, the sharp warheads drilled into the monster’s body, while the 60 grams of CL-20 explosive inside unleashed tremendous power.

Yes, this amount of explosive is equivalent to just a defensive grenade.

But what if this grenade explodes inside the enemy’s body?

Amidst the explosion, a mist of blood sprayed out.

The creature’s belly was instantly hollowed out, and its shoulder was blasted open.

A greenish-gray intestine spilled out, polluting the pristine lake surface.

Seconds later, the splattered blood fell onto the water, gradually dispersing.

The once vicious creature turned into a colossal floating corpse in an instant, and the Terror Demons who witnessed this lost their sanity.

Some of them scrambled frantically in all directions, while the remaining ones rushed into a squad that wasn’t theirs, seemingly seeking the protection of another leader.

Just as Chen Jian predicted, high-intelligence leaders are the core of the Terror Demons, and without their command, they are nothing but a scattered mess!

Chen Jian took a deep breath, turned to face another creature already charging forward.

Its speed was fast, at least compared to that Abomination, it was much faster.

But it was this speed that led it to commit a fatal mistake.

It got too close without gauging the strength of Chen Jian’s squad.

At 400 meters, the 201 machine gun on Chen Jian’s rack began to roar.

7.62mm bullets rained down on the creature swiftly moving through the treetops, knocking it to the ground in an instant.

Although such an attack was not enough to be fatal quickly, its movement was greatly hindered.

Just as Chen Jian raised the rocket launcher, intending to deliver a direct strike at 300 meters, mutation struck.

The opponent’s body started convulsing, followed by a burst of blood-red smoke that rapidly spread.

His vision was momentarily obstructed, but just for a moment.

Through the thermal fusion night vision, the opponent’s every move was clear.

It was trying to use the smoke as cover to bypass the fire line Chen Jian had set up, and its skin was changing like a chameleon, blending into the surroundings.

This transformation speed was astonishing, much faster than a real chameleon!

Chen Jian understood why Lei Jie classified these leader monsters as Level 4.

At least this "Chameleon," its "mechanism," deserved that Level 4 title.

Without thermal imaging equipment, it would be hard for humans to spot it at 100 meters with the naked eye.

And once within 100 meters, it was its killing ground!

The open-barrel shotgun it held was clearly loaded with buckshot, and once it fired, the air would be filled with projectiles covering all enemies!

----Unfortunately, it was facing Chen Jian, wearing night vision.

Bullets passed through the smoke unchecked, and after several successive hits, Chen Jian suddenly realized, perhaps this rocket shell didn’t need to be wasted.

"He Shuo! Finish it off!"

"Understood!"

After requesting temporary assistance, He Shuo unhesitatingly moved his gun.

At 200 meters, a 12.7mm armor-piercing round from the 10 sniper hit the monster’s head spot on.

"Bang!"

Flesh and blood exploded, and the monster fell lifeless to the ground.

With the loss of two leaders, the pace of the Terror Demons was significantly hindered.

They were blocked at the Linghu South Bank as if held back by a dam.

And there, Zeng Yi had already taken aim.

"Poof poof poof poof----"

Four grenades were fired, and then they fell into the dense group of enemies.

The bodies of their companions became the only shields, and the grenades exploding among the Terror Demons perhaps achieved the highest single-shot kill record since this weapon was made.

Dozens of Terror Demons lost their lives, and the remaining ones instantly descended into chaos.

Even though more Terror Demons were coming from the rear, Chen Jian suddenly felt...

The advantage’s scale was slowly tilting.

He Shuo clearly noticed this too.

So, he decisively said:

"Lei Jie, abandon the suppression of the Central Square camp."

"Set up the mortars, target: Central Hospital."

"Distance: 2 kilometers, meteorological data calculated by the drone!"

"Understood!"

Lei Jie immediately began setting up the mortars, which required at least 10 seconds.

And within this 10 seconds, He Shuo’s precise judgment was confirmed.

The Terror Demons, including most of the leaders, began swarming towards the Central Hospital.

Without a doubt, that was their command center.

And their actions... brought death upon them.

Just-acquired extended-range shells were fired, six rapid shots in succession.

High-explosive shells exploded among the Terror Demons, with even one shell landing directly in front of a just-arrived Horror Demon Leader.

The blast force halted it, and shrapnel embedded deeply into its hard chitinous armor.

This blow didn’t kill it, but it was severely wounded!

Chaos.

Unprecedented chaos began.

Gunfire, cannon shots, and explosions from the Terror Demon platoon began resounding.

But these guns, cannons, and explosions couldn’t touch their intended targets.

Because from the battle’s start until now, in 4 minutes, even the closest impact occurred 200 meters from the squad’s position...

Perhaps at this moment, those monsters realized that the best way to conceal oneself wasn’t "camouflage."

But rather... beyond visual range attack!

No need for true beyond visual range, just exceed the enemy’s visual range...

Lei Jie hadn’t stopped; moments later, he fired a second round of four rapid shots at the human targets rushing out of the hospital building.

The same scenario replayed exactly, with a large number of unprotected humans immediately falling.

After suffering severe casualties, finally, three monster leaders seemed to come to a consensus and initiated a synchronized assault towards the squad’s direction.

But just then, explosions rang out behind them.

Ji Xing took action.

Her speed was even faster than Chen Jian expected, and the continuous explosions intensified the chaos.

The entire Anqing Ruins were finally fully mobilized, and the Terror Demons realized this wasn’t a simple raid.

They finally understood, the attackers weren’t their familiar enemies.

----But even so, what could they do?

As the chaos spread like a plague, organizing wasn’t an option anymore.

Chen Jian fired a rocket shell at a monster charging close, then turned to look east.

There, Xie Liu kicked away a Terror Demon lunging at her and tore the creature apart with her 201 machine gun.

She had cleared all the Terror Demons on the evacuation route.

All by herself.

"Time to retreat."

Chen Jian ordered:

"The mission is nearly complete."

"Everyone board the vehicle, alternate cover for withdrawal!"

"Ji Xing, if you can hear, it’s time to move out!"
