Chapter 399: Chapter 34: Hellfire Versus Iron Tyrant

"Team One, Team Two suppress the bar, Team Three fire at the street." Tang Zheng shouted loudly, issuing orders. He himself discarded his empty AK74M magazine and picked up two PKM general-purpose machine guns carried by his guards, firing at the mercenaries behind him.

Empty 7.62mm rifle casings continuously jumped out of the ejection port, tinkling down onto the ground; bullets whizzed past with red tails. The mercenaries over eighty meters away had just fired a few shots when they were suppressed. Amid the rain of bullets, they panicked and hid on both sides, looking for shelters.

Wasteland people usually fight against radiation beasts and ghouls. They seldom have the chance to exchange fire with humans, let alone experience such firepower suppression. They would rather each of their bullets kills, not to waste any, so they were completely bewildered when they encountered such a battle style for the first time that completely disregarded ammunition consumption.

The two young soldiers were sweating profusely. One of them set up the bipod on another PKM machine gun on the ground, and the other unzipped the backpack full of spare ammunition, beginning to reload so that Tang Zheng could fire at any time.

Having annihilated a battalion of the Steel Council, Tang Zheng naturally didn’t lack light machine guns. If they were to cause trouble, of course, they needed to bring all the weapons and ammunition.

Tang Zheng depleted a 200-round ammunition box in less than two minutes, and the result was just over ten shabby corpses lying on the street. He was very dissatisfied because everyone else had hidden in the alleys or even some had rushed into the cave dwellings on both sides.

"We must drive them away." Lu Fan, wearing an ill-fitting steel helmet, threw out two hand grenades. Unfortunately, she hadn’t been trained; her throws were inaccurate. She didn’t hit anyone, which angered her. She snatched up the AK74M that the young soldier was holding for Tang Zheng and shouted, "Uncle, give me ten grenades."

"The rest of you open fire." Tang Zheng gave the PKM to the young soldier. He then unzipped his backpack and handed it over to Lu Fan, afterwards picking up the remaining AK74M and firing a single shot at the second-floor window of the bar.

Amidst the bangs of gunfire, one mercenary was shot in the chest and collapsed, hanging on the window.

Lu Fan also began firing grenades. She had good memory, so every potential hiding place got its share of fire.

The burly man rushed out of the bar with his men, intending to strike Tang Zheng’s team from both sides, but they ended up being suppressed without landing a single hit on the enemy.

The young soldier near Tang Zheng responded quickly. Before Tang could react, the boy was already lying on the ground firing. Instantly, there was chaos at the bar’s entrance, the burly man was initially hiding behind his men, but bullet rain tore through the crowd, sending them into a frenzy.

Bright red blood flowed down the steps, pooling in front of the bar.

There were always people ready to take advantage of chaos; at this moment, gunfire erupted inside the bar. Some customers took advantage of the situation to steal things. The mercenary from Broken Steel tried to stop them, only to be shot dead, causing yet another melee.

"Broken Steel is done for." Wasteland people did not expect that Tang Zheng, with a group of young soldiers, could achieve this feat. They sighed sadly.

"Don’t speak too soon. The leader of Broken Steel’s armored vehicle hasn’t shown up yet." Some people disagreed. Tang Zheng’s attack, at most, severely injured Broken Steel, but to wipe them out was impossible.

To confirm his point, an armored troop carrier rumbled onto the street where the bar was located. Without any greeting, the 12.7mm vehicle-mounted machine gun began to roar. Bullets traced a straight line on the road surface, sending chunks of dirt flying.

Tang Zheng reacted quickly. With one arm outstretched, he grabbed Lu Fan and dashed into a nearby cave dwelling. The young soldier carrying the spare ammunition was also quick-witted, rolling away a few times to avoid the bullets, but the other boy was not so lucky. Concerned only with suppressing the enemy before him, by the time he heard the engine rumbling and looked back, a string of bullets swept through him, instantly turning his lower body into chunks.

"Who destroyed my bar? I’ll hang him!" The Broken Steel Leader roared, gunning down the young soldier running towards the cave dwelling with a burst of fire. His backpack fell to the ground, with ammo clips scattered everywhere. He had just escaped a deaths doorstep, now his luck had run out.

Tang Zheng watched the young soldier fall to the ground, his pupils dilating. He reflexively twitched, and his face suddenly calmed down.

After clearing the enemies on the road, the gunman started firing at where the young soldiers were hiding. The infantry following behind the armored vehicle also joined the attack, turning the tide instantly.

"Move to point B1." Tang Zheng shouted again, he wasn’t planning on a dragged-out battle. With that, he pulled out an AT-4 rocket launcher, heaving it onto his shoulder. As the young soldiers who heard his command began to retreat, disrupting the enemy’s line of sight, he charged out and turned the trigger toward the armored vehicle.

The driver did not expect to be hit by an anti-tank missile at all, and was quite flustered for a moment. He tried to reverse, but was too nervous and hit the cave dwelling wall with the rear of the vehicle. The armor-piercing bullet whistled in, hitting the tracks.

An explosion erupted from the armored vehicle, and various metal fragments were blasted everywhere by the shock wave.

The Broken Steel Leader who was shouting moments before had been killed in the explosion. This sudden turn of events silenced everyone. The mercenaries were dumfounded; their boss was dead. Subconsciously, they began to worry about their future livelihoods. Then, they witnessed the man dual-wielding guns, emerging from the cave dwelling and firing at every single armed mercenary on the street.

A little lolita followed him, clutching a G36 and attacking relentlessly. With her small face strained, she diligently performed tactical maneuvers, surprisingly managing to take down two mercenaries.
