Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Who Says Metallic Jets Aren’t Fireworks

What are the famous paintings under the moonlight?

Chen Jian only remembers two.

One is the crescent sky clash of his homeland people, and the other is Spider-Man descending from the sky.

But now, he feels he has seen a third one.

A gigantic, terrifying, and blood-scented monster leaps high, then smashes hard on the ground, shattering the weathered and fragile buildings.

Dust rises into the sky as if there has been an explosion. If the drone in the sky hadn’t already identified the heat signature and kept tracking it, Chen Jian would even doubt if his team could keep a grasp on the monster’s precise location.

"Do we need to leave!? There’s still time!"

Xu Lie, who slew a mole that charged up, asked hoarsely from the side.

He was truly scared. If earlier he only felt the threat of death, at this moment, death was really right in front of him.

"We can’t leave."

Chen Jian swiftly unfolded the weapon mount, took down a mortar, set it up, and said to Lei Jie:

"Continue the bombardment, the drone will compute the impact point, stop it!"

"He Shuo, see if you can hit its leg, even a few seconds of delay is enough!"

"Shen Yue, go help Lei Jie, one person per cannon!"

"Understood!"

"Roger that!"

In the face of the great enemy, Chen Jian’s four-member team was not panicked at all.

They were still methodically executing each action, seemingly oblivious that they might die here in a minute.

"What exactly do you want to do?? Your weapons can’t kill it!"

"If we leave now, we still have a chance to escape!"

"We can’t win! You can’t win either!"

"You understand shit; we specialize in fighting unwinnable battles."

Chen Jian raised his 191 and quickly fired several bursts. At the same time, the weapon mount with a shoulder-mounted anti-tank rocket launcher was also deployed.

"Lei Jie, give me your launcher."

"I want to fire a dual salvo, quickly!"

"Catch!"

Lei Jie loaded a shell into the mortar with one hand, and with the other, tossed the removed launcher to Chen Jian.

Chen Jian grabbed the launcher, quickly aimed, and stood still.

His gaze followed the slow-moving monster while Lei Jie and Shen Yue operated two mortars, firing their first salvo.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The kill shells crashed down with a whistling sound, one landing less than 10 meters in front of the monster, and the other striking its dorsal armor again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The shockwave of the explosions confused the moles that were rushing towards the eight-member team. They stopped in their tracks, turning their heads to try to lock onto the direction from which the sound came.

The pressure on the Holy Blood Team’s four members eased instantly, but now, they could do nothing to help.

A sense of powerlessness and impending doom surged simultaneously. Seeing the monster "just within reach," Xu Lie gritted his teeth and said:

"We are leaving; we don’t have to die with you!"

"Go!"

With that, Xu Lie leapt off the overpass. But when he turned back, he found that his teammates hadn’t followed.

Li Shi still stood in front of Chen Jian with a shield made of scrap metal hastily pieced together. Xie Liu, slightly flustered, mixed his potions and then quickly sprinkled them around the ground around the team, seemingly trying to mask the scent they were emitting.

Zeng Yi also jumped off the overpass, not to retreat, but to charge at a group of moles that were dazed on the open ground.

He glanced back at Xu Lie, who kept shouting, then resolutely fought his way in.

The long knife drank blood.

Chen Jian didn’t have time to worry about the Holy Blood Team’s split. He also knew that the situation was already quite perilous.

The distance between both sides was only 800 meters. If victory wasn’t decided within these 800 meters, the outcome was certainly clear.

----However, he wasn’t entirely without confidence.

Two anti-tank rocket shells equipped with unknown-model metal jet armor-piercing warheads.

If they hit the body, it might not cause instant death to this monster.

But what if they hit the head?

No brain of any carbon-based lifeform on earth could withstand the 2000-degree metal jet’s heat.

No armor plates, no biological armor; I’ll turn you into grilled brain flower!

What I need is time.

Just a narrow, fleeting, but crucial window of opportunity.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and released the safety on the DZJ19 rocket launcher.

At this moment, Shen Yue and Lei Jie were still bombarding the monster continuously.

Each jump point of it was calculated a second in advance by the PDA, and using this time difference, every shot by the two of them could precisely land near the monster.

The constant explosions slowed the monster’s movements. As the distance closed to 300 meters, Chen Jian shouted loudly:

"He Shuo, what the hell are you waiting for?"

"I’m waiting for it to jump!"

"When it jumps, its leg is dangling down!"

Chen Jian glanced at He Shuo, whose gun muzzle was already raised.

In the next second, the monster jumped again.

This time, He Shuo pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The incendiary shell hit the monster’s left hind leg joint directly, exploding into a blood spray, but the monster seemed oblivious.

However, when it landed, things changed.

The bone structure, damaged, could no longer support its heavy body. When its whole weight pressed down on the left leg, its back leg broke at a terrifying 90-degree angle.

"Bang!"

The monster tumbled and fell, struggling to stand up, but was pinned down by a kill shell fired by Lei Jie, who seized the opportunity.

"Last two shells!"

"My last shell!"

Lei Jie and Shen Yue reported in succession, Chen Jian’s gaze shifted to the smart goggles, the rangefinder displayed a straight-line distance of 200 meters to the monster.

Just a bit closer.

Another 50 meters, and I’d be more confident.

"Don’t hold back, fire everything!"

"Holy Blood, fall back! Stay behind us!"

Chen Jian ordered again, then took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

At this moment, everything around seemed to fall silent.

Under the moonlight, the monster twisted and struggled to stand up. Having lost its jumping ability, it almost "crawled and rolled" towards the eight people.

The continuous attacks had driven it mad as well, bloodthirsty thoughts filled its not-so-small brain.

The only thing it now wanted to do was to kill those annoying ants.

As the distance closed to 150 meters, the monster stood upright and swung its incredibly long foreclaws.

Its blood-filled maw had already opened, ready to swallow the ants without hesitation once they were dead under its claws, swallowing them into its belly...

Opportunity.

Chen Jian very restrainedly, very gently squeezed the trigger.

Simultaneously, the launcher on the mount also fired in sync.

"Whoosh----"

A slight sound, and the shell arrived in an instant.

Those rockets in movies flying slowly with a smoke trail are fake.

At a hundred-meter distance, almost the instant the trigger is pulled, the shell has already reached its target.

The fuse ignites, explosives detonate, the metal liner is compressed, then melted by high heat, and pushed out at over 9000 meters per second through the top center of the shell.

The high-temperature flames burned through the monster’s flesh, skull, and brain.

Two streams of golden-yellow jet pierced from the front and exited through the back of the head.

A mist of blood accompanied by a bright yellow flash, under the full moon, blossomed into a splendid firework.

Chen Jian dropped the disposable launcher and picked up the rifle again.

The next second, the huge body of the monster...

Fell heavily to the ground!
