Chapter 519: Charge.
“Get down!!!”
Jiang Zhiming screamed at the top of his lungs. Humans couldn’t beat mortar shells, the most effective and safest defensive measure was to get down on the ground. Other than that, just pray for God to bless that there wouldn’t be a shell falling right on you or exploded nearby.
Boom~
Shells exploded as they hit the ground, producing hot energy shock waves, and the fragments of the shell blasted out in every directions. Dust rolled up the sky. At this moment, the ground seemed to shake, and the yellow sand was mixed with strong gunpowder, filling every inch of the space here.
After this round of artillery attack, every team member lying on the ground was covered with a thick layer of sand.
Jiang Zhiming shook off the dust on his helmet. In this current situation, he didn’t have the time to check for the wounded and immediately got up. He glared angrily at the rebels, “You want to fight? Then let’s fight!”
Sure, the rebels were well-equipped, but the special operations team was also equally well-equipped.
After receiving the counter-attack command from their captain, all the team members immediately responded. Sniper rifles and rocket launchers, two types of super long-range weapons, aimed at the rebels. But the second round of mortar attack came soon. The first round was just a test, and its positioning was not very accurate. The second round was adjusted on the basis of the first round and the accuracy was greatly enhanced. Hence, the second round of attack was absolutely devastating.
Whoosh~~ whoosh~~
Scalp tingling sounds resonated again, and more than a dozen shells speared through the air space and fiercely smashed down towards them.
All of their faces changed color. They looked at the incoming shells and fell into a moment of stupor, they then dove to the ground with the fastest speed. They closed their eyes and waited for the upcoming judgement from death. No one was sure whether they would be alive or dead in the next moment. This was a very complicated long and tormenting wait for them.
Xiao Luo’s eyes flashed fiercely. He dropped his sniper rifle, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and clapped his hands directly against the sky.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar resounded and the powerful force from his palm created a terrible energy storm. It was like a tornado spiraling upward and rushing against the multitude of shells falling down from the high air.
Because of Xiao Luo’s move, the shells that would have hit the team’s vehicles and members were forcibly redirected and landed at least 30 meters away.
Boom~
Tons of sand were blown into the air, the earth trembled, and the blazing explosion fluctuated and surged in circles.
Jiang Zhiming opened his eyes and raised his head. He looked at the shells that exploded far away from them in awe. Clearly, the direction of the shells got redirected, but such a strange thing could not be staged despite how unreal it felt. When he looked forward, he saw a figure standing straight like a pole.
Amidst the surrounding artillery fire, that figure seemed to exude indomitable spirit, and people felt like they were looking up at a mountain!
What exactly did he do just now?
What happened?
Everyone was baffled, shocked, unsure of what just happened, but they were quite certain that it had something to do with Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo glanced at the rebels’ location before he started running furiously. His speed was as fast as lightning, mere eyes could hardly catch up to his movements.
The members of the operations team felt surreal, and at the same time, they were shocked by Xiao Luo’s actions. He is charging towards the rebels? Isn’t that committing su*cide?
“Mr. Mei, come back!”
Jiang Zhiming quickly tried to stop him, but Xiao Luo ignored it and continued to charge forward. He was like an arrow darting towards the enemy’s position. Seeing that he could not stop Xiao Luo, Jiang Zhiming gritted his teeth and shouted, “Kill them!”
And then he took the lead in charging.
The others also reacted, shouting to raise their spirits, and followed Jiang Zhiming closely.
When the rebels saw a Chinese soldier rushing towards them alone, they were stunned. Apparently they didn’t expect the Chinese soldiers to fight back this way.
“? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (Shoot and kill him)!” The rebel leader shouted loudly and crazily.
[TL Note: The question marks are in the raws.]
The rest of the group also recovered from their shock. They raised their rifles and aimed at Xiao Luo along with the mortars.
Dadada~
Chug chug~
Sparks were flying everywhere; the shells formed like rain from above while the bullets from the rifles formed a dense net. All were heading towards Xiao Luo!
Xiao Luo’s body quivered and simply dodged the rain of firepower coming towards him, not a bullet or shell hit him. He dodged them all, in a strange and mysterious pace.
But Jiang Zhiming’s team was not so lucky. Two soldiers were blown into minced meat by the shells while the rest were all lying on the ground. They were suppressed by the gunfire from the rebels. They only saw Xiao Luo running like a beast amidst the rain of bullets.
“God, he can even avoid the bullets and shells?”
They were all dumbfounded at this moment. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a mere human could avoid bullets. This scene challenged their cognition.
The rebel leader looked at Xiao Luo, who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly roared out, “? ? ? ? ? !”
The machine gun mounted on the roof of their car fired fiercely at Xiao Luo. This was a firearm made in Shemei Guo Country. Its firing rate could reach up to more than 1,000 bullets per tube per minute. When the trigger was pulled, bullets as dense as rain crazily rushed towards Xiao Luo.
Wherever Xiao Luo went, bullets followed. They struck on the solid ground, leaving behind pits in the ground. At the same time, it also made sand fly up into the air. This just demonstrated how terrifying the power of the machine gun was.
Jiang Zhiming and his team sweated deeply for Xiao Luo, holding their breaths due to their anxiety. As long as Xiao Luo was hit, his body would definitely turn into a meat sieve in a flash. They were soldiers so how could they not understand the power of a machine gun?
Whoosh~
Xiao Luo kept on dodging, his expressionless and sharp eyes quietly locked unto the rebel leader, who stood beside a car and commanded the battle. After avoiding the bullets, his feet suddenly slammed on the ground, and his running body immediately leaped into the air. He leaped in the air like a predator, and jumped straight at the rebel leader from four meters away.
The rebel leader couldn’t even make a decent counterattack as Xiao Luo’s right hand, like a ghost’s claw, smacked on his crown with terrifying power.
Poof ~
The rebel leader’s head exploded like a squashed persimmon. Blood and white brain matter scattered all over the place, while the leader’s body flew back, slamming on the door of a big truck before slowly sliding to the ground like a puddle of mud.
