Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!
Chapter 159 - 55 Monster Coordination_2

Chapter 159: Chapter 55 Monster Coordination_2

It’s evident that the Huadu people inside the Central Hospital are quite smart.

They knew they couldn’t gain an advantage in direct combat, so they could only delay the attack of the four-person squad in this manner, waiting for the outer Terror Demons to return!

We can’t drag this on.

Chen Jian decisively ordered:

"Blow up the building!"

"Lei Jie, set up the charges, everyone else cover!"

"Understood!"

With a single order, Lei Jie immediately stepped onto the already decayed table in the room, barely supporting his own body.

Then, he set up the explosive charges on the ceiling, pulled the fuse, and the four of them simultaneously leaped out of the room.

"Bam, bam, bam, bam----"

A series of dense long bursts forced back the Huadu people trying to peek out from around the corner, and immediately after.

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded, the ceiling collapsed, and the heavy slab formed a slope suitable for climbing.

He Shuo, who wasn’t wearing an exoskeleton and was more agile, was the first to climb to the next floor, then lowered a drag rope to pull the others up one by one.

Cover, blast, ascend.

Their actions were remarkably fast, taking less than two minutes to reach the top floor.

Meanwhile, the Huadu people inside the building were completely caught off guard, still searching the rooms below before being blown apart by grenades thrown from above.

Only then did they see the big hole in the ceiling, and though they screamed warnings, it was already too late.

Chen Jian and his team exited the room, dashed through the corridor, and rushed to the expansive top-floor hall guided by a drone.

Before seeing anyone, the grenades were thrown.

Both sides coincidentally adopted the same tactic, explosions at the hall entrance sounded like a barrage of New Year firecrackers.

Smoke had already spread everywhere, making visibility impossible even a meter away.

The hall echoed with dense coughing, while Chen Jian and his team swiftly donned respirators and pulled down night vision goggles.

From the thermal vision perspective, the hall was in full view.

All four threw grenades into the hall, and upon the explosion’s occurrence, they entered in quick succession!

As they emerged from the smoke like demons, all the Huadu people in the hall instinctively froze in place.

Hundreds of glances converged on the four, but their movements didn’t stop.

They didn’t halt in the crowd’s center and open fire, instead they dashed for cover by the walls, shooting as they advanced to seize advantageous positions quickly.

Then, weapon mounts deployed, three Type 201 machine guns fired simultaneously.

Crossfire!

The room was instantly covered, leaving no dead corners.

Under the dense barrage, no carbon-based life could remain standing.

How long does it take to kill a hundred people?

If it were an open area, perhaps the answer is forever.

But what if all hundred were crowded into a single room with no cover?

The answer is 30 seconds.

When a single ammo box for the Type 201 machine gun was spent, only four remained alive in the room.

Chen Jian wasted no time finishing them off, instead he swiftly moved out of the room, clearing downward through corridors and stairs.

This wasn’t a strict CQB engagement, as when faced with enemies hiding in rooms, Chen Jian opted not to engage in close combat but to maximize distance, then use breaching rounds to destroy walls completely!

Deafening explosions sounded within the building, accompanied by blasts outside as well.

"The Terror Demons are returning! We have at most one minute!"

"Got it!"

Zeng Yi’s voice came over the radio, followed by a brief pause, after which Chen Jian decisively ordered:

"Ji Xing, head to the roof and set up ropes for us to rappel and retreat!"

"Everyone else, establish a defensive line on-site to suppress, hold for one minute!"

"Copy!"

Everyone moved immediately, and Chen Jian’s four men headed upstairs to the rooftop, while Ji Xing, just arriving, had completed setting up a makeshift rappel route with ropes taken from the CAT vehicle.

She leapt gracefully down between floors, as Chen Jian and his team quickly slid down the ropes.

Upon landing, He Shuo crouched and set up his anti-material sniper rifle.

A monster leader appeared in his sight, and the next second.

The trigger was pulled, the bullet left the barrel.

"Bang!"

One of the monster’s arms was torn off, blood splattering as it retreated into the forest with a terrifying howl.

Chen Jian let out a slight sigh of relief, turning to face the chasing Terror Demons and Huadu fighters from the Central Hospital, but soon, he noticed something strange.

Smoke appeared in patches of forest afar, nearly blocking all vision.

Chen Jian attempted to use the thermal imager to look into the smoke for enemies, but he was shocked to find that the smoke could actually block thermal signals!

A large monster’s heat signal briefly emerged in a thin part of the smoke, only to vanish completely soon after.

Ordinary Terror Demons were engaged in a fierce battle with the Mechanical God Sect, with gunfire and shouts echoing, yet the central area where Chen Jian’s team stood was eerily silent.

An ominous feeling rose in Chen Jian’s heart.

He realized that these monsters were evolving.

No, not their bodies, but their tactics!

They had differentiated between two different attacking styles in a very short time and quickly made decisions.

The Horror Demon Leader was to return to the Central Hospital to protect their Huadu allies, while ordinary Blood Skulls continued attacking the Mechanical God Sect, buying them time!

All the Terror Demon Leaders here were intelligent creatures with high IQs, unlikely to launch reckless attacks like mindless monsters!

"Zeng Yi! Fire a round at the suspicious target! Force them out!"

"Understood!"

Zeng Yi immediately responded.

Automatic grenades spewed forth, and a series of explosions occurred.

The smoke was blown apart, and at that moment, a monster wielding a giant shield suddenly appeared.

Just as Chen Jian’s team spotted it, a large cylindrical object suddenly flew from behind the monster.

Accompanying the cylinder’s path through the sky was a trail of white smoke.

"Take cover!"

Chen Jian shouted.

Then, the metal pipe hit the ground as explosions sounded.

"Boom!"

White smoke dispersed, and Chen Jian immediately put on his respirator.

"Gas!"

"Hold your breath and move upwind!"

"Understood!"

With Chen Jian’s command, everyone began advancing directly forward.

Meanwhile, artillery from the monster leader had already begun firing.

Mortars with modified triggers were in their hands, aiming like hand cannons in the squad’s direction.

Shells fell continuously, fragments piercing Chen Jian’s body armor plates.

"This needs to be a quick fight!"

"Concentrate fire on breaking the shield first!"

Chen Jian issued the order again.

He knew these leaders weren’t easy enemies.

Although they didn’t possess the massive size or "superpowers" like "sonic booms" of the ’wild’ monsters, their abilities were well-balanced, and their intellect rivaled normal humans.

This allowed them to use customized tools and perform effective coordination.

This coordination was indeed yielding very strong results!

If the front line wasn’t processed immediately and they reached the forefront, they’d be finished!

Ammo resource management had become a mere phrase, as Chen Jian deployed weapon mounts and instantly fired two Rocket Shells.

Metal streams pierced the giant shield, splashing onto the monster hidden behind.

Howling in pain, it dropped the shield, exposing the humanoid monster throwing gas grenades.

He Shuo seized the opportunity, and a 12.7mm caliber bullet pierced the monster’s chest.

After struggling for a few seconds, the monster fell powerless, but at the same time, more similar "attack groups" had already approached their position.

There was no time left.

Chen Jian, resolute, was prepared to give his all and then retreat immediately.

But just then, several shells suddenly flew from afar.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion’s sound wasn’t loud, but when a metal shell hit a monster precisely, it fell limply.

Large caliber smoothbore gun!

Chen Jian looked up and saw the Holy Temple Guard had pursued them.

The two teams exchanged glances, and guns originally aimed at each other instinctively turned direction.

There were more important enemies ahead.

For now, let’s put aside hatred and differences.

Pincer attack!
