Chapter 770: Killing
Captain Lynx has been granted temporary command authority.

Suddenly, howls and roars erupted from Guanzhuang Town, quickly drowning out the sounds of gunfire.

At the heart of the battlefield, Red Knight triggered the clan's arrangements in Guanzhuang Town, causing the blood of the vampires to boil and activate within the bodies of tens of thousands of locals, giving birth to blood servants with grotesque and painful faces.

Humans are being contaminated through nutritional pastes consumed daily.

The original plan for Guanzhuang Town was for a ten-year period, with the goal of attacking the front-line base in Agushe Village. Now that it has been triggered ahead of schedule, the blood concentration in most of the local people has not reached the standard, and there are only about 10,000 blood servants, but it is still very sufficient.

"Take back Corend!"

The Red Knight resolutely issued the order.

Two days ago, Duke Arsen led a large number of family members to trade with powerful figures within the giant wall. All activities, entertainment, and rest during this time were arranged by Kolend.

After that night, Duke Arsen remained secluded, his condition unknown. Sir Red also had no idea what had happened, since only the Duke had returned to the territory. However, given that it involved a key figure of the Gangro clan, he would certainly not allow the fortress city to obtain information.

The Duke is of utmost importance.

Of the Gangro clan's dukes, only nine have awakened so far; the rest lie dormant in the pool of blood.

Whoosh!
The enraged hound captain swung his knife.

Sir Red sneered. If he hadn't wanted to delay his promotion to marquis, he could have ended the fight in less than a quarter of an hour.

……

Outside the hospital, five men rushed out with guns and opened fire.

After the locals were transformed into blood servants, they became madmen who only knew how to carry out orders and attack humans.

"What zombie siege? I don't want to die here!" Fisher roared inwardly. If the projection body dies, the real body will die too, and it's irreversible. Only that king has the privilege.

"One is missing!" the sniper shouted.

Lynx grabbed a few corpses to use as sandbags and replied, "Dijiang went to find a large supply crate. Hold on."

A blood-soaked servant jumped from the roof of the neighboring residential building. The medic of the Hound Squad threw two throwing knives. He was a D-level Source Power user with a talent sequence of 298 - Weapon Control. He didn't have to be in such a sorry state, but his physical strength and energy were exhausted during the attack on Guanzhuang Middle School.

"Get the transport helicopter here quickly, we're almost out of throwing knives!"

Inside the hospital.

Jiang He ran wildly among various obstacles.

He was carrying a huge black box containing heavy weapons and ammunition, as well as five boxes of high-explosive grenades.

From an unseen perspective, waves of ultrasonic waves surged forth, employing the secret technique of "Weakness Detection Across the Entire Area" to search for structural weaknesses in the building caused by the rocket bombardment.

"Your talents are very well-rounded, encompassing close combat, ranged attacks, perception, and control. Combined with your sniping skills, you're capable of completing most special operations missions solo," Luo Yeli praised.

"maybe."

Jiang He stuffed a grenade into a crack in the wall and continued running.

"What are you planning to do?"

Jiang He set up forty explosion points in sequence and casually replied, "My perception detection range is 50 meters in radius. Within this area, rock spikes can be shaped to detonate grenades. The collapse of the entire hospital should kill a lot of Blood Servants. I don't think we can count on transport helicopters."

"I suggest you go find a motorcycle right away, don't be greedy for military merit."

"How can you get promoted if you're a deserter?"

"But we can't throw away our lives like that."

From the commander's perspective, the scene shook for a moment. Luo Yeli watched as Jiang He came down to the first floor, lay down directly on a piece of floor, and then began to wriggle. Her expression couldn't help but show some surprise.

"what are you doing?"

Soon, the ground visibly subsided; the earthworm's mastery of soil was merely a bonus, its true expertise lay in digging.

Luo Yeli couldn't help but tremble, covering her mouth and laughing, "Don't make that kind of face."

Jiang He's expression darkened slightly. What was this guy laughing about?

Earthworms won't wriggle; how can they dig the soil?

"I'm sorry, I forgot you were on the run," Luo Yeli said apologetically. "Perhaps it's your fault for being too cold."

In just a short while, a vertical passage leading to the underground pipe had been completed.

Jiang He used the rock face of the passage to climb back to the ground, then carried the supply box and rushed to the hospital entrance.

In fact, he had considered leaving Guanzhuang Town directly, but becoming a deserter would basically mean the failure of the main mission ①. The transport helicopter was about to arrive, and clearing the landing point was the primary objective.

"Commander, could you tell the battalion headquarters that I possess the secret technique of underground propulsion?"

"It won't pass. Corend will be brought back under satellite surveillance. This is an opportunity for the Lothar heir to demonstrate his tactical arrangements; the performance effect outweighs the practical significance."

"He deserves to die."

"I also think so."

Jiang He rushed into the makeshift position in front of the hospital, and the five of them took turns taking the weapons from the supply boxes.

"Why aren't there any grenades?" Lynx wondered.

"Are you asking me?" Jiang He replied perfunctorily.

Outside the position, a layer of corpses had already piled up.

Jiang He set up the Storm Heavy Machine Gun, and the cannon fodder Fisher came over to install the ammunition belt.

An inexhaustible supply of blood servants surged forth from the residential area ahead like a tidal wave, the suffocating stench of blood filling the air, and as far as the eye could see, thousands upon thousands of crazed, scarlet eyes gleamed.

Jiang He's eyes were calm as he pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun.

Bang bang bang!
The gunfire from the makeshift position ceased at that moment, only to be quickly replaced by another extreme form of violence. Blazing flames erupted from the muzzles, flickering and shifting, as countless bullets, carrying destructive kinetic energy, easily tore apart the blood-soaked servant's pale body.

Ordinary flesh and blood bodies appear extremely fragile in the face of the metal storm. Fragments of flesh, bone fragments, and slimy internal organs are scattered radially backward, leaving a mess on the ground.

The scorching hot, golden cartridge cases spewed out of the ejection port, quickly piling up and rolling out again, turning the barrel a dark red.

Jiang He braced his shoulder against the violently trembling gunstock, each recoil sending a solid force through his entire body. He could even feel the heat from the barrel on his cheek, and the air around him was thick with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood.

As the firing range opened and the gun barrels moved left and right, beneath the chain of fire, there were severed limbs and torsos exploding one after another, and blood flowed like a river in front of the makeshift position.

The gunfire from our side gradually subsided.

The Hound Squad's sniper and medic exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with horror.

Suppressive fire is not uncommon, but to master a heavy machine gun and achieve perfect fire coverage with high precision and fast pace without missing a single shot is simply incredible. It requires exceptional physical control, reflexes, and mental agility.

"He possesses all the qualities of a top-notch marksman," the sniper whispered. It didn't matter that his strength was slightly weaker; after all, the evolution potion could cultivate gene warriors, and this shooting ability was unique. The elite team wouldn't let such talent slip away.

The medic hesitated, shook his head, and said, "Let's survive first. Now is not the time for you to be so eager to try something new!"

A light and melodious voice rang in Jiang He's ears.

"Three C-level military merits."

hum!
The hum of a propeller could be heard in the distance.

The transport helicopter arrived in Guanzhuang Town.

A streak of light rose into the sky from the north, and the third Source Energy Heavy Cannon shot fired since the start of the war blasted the transport helicopter into pieces.

Firework-like sparks shone in everyone's eyes.

It's not surprising that the vampires of Guanzhuang Town have a third heavy cannon, but the difficulty of hitting a helicopter in mid-air is self-evident.

Luo Yeli sighed, "It's not just the shells, but also the more expensive radar fire control and guidance matrix. Luo Zhengzong has obviously overlooked one problem: the one who controls the source energy heavy artillery may not be the armed militia under the black market merchants, but the Red Knight's private guard."

In an instant, Jiang He turned and ran, rushing towards the hospital. Fisher followed closely behind without saying a word.

The others reacted for a moment, then also ran away in terror.

The guidance matrix can easily cover Guanzhuang Town. The source force heavy artillery did not directly bombard the simple positions, firstly because it was a bait, and secondly because the shells were really expensive.

boom!
A heavy cannonball fell from the sky, detonating in a blinding flash.

Kinetic energy and heatwaves, carrying countless fragments, enveloped the surroundings. The last communications officer was killed instantly. The medic pushed Corend towards the sniper, turned around and released dark energy to resist the impact, but was engulfed the next moment.

Jiang He, Fisher, and Lynx rushed into the hospital one after another. The sniper's face was full of struggle. He gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed Corend, and used him as his human shield.

Long!
The aftermath has subsided.

The medic, communications officer, and Corend died.

"Coyotes, what have you done!" the battalion commander roared.

"You mistook him for cannon fodder."

Sniper Coyote sneered, shutting down the communication. His face suddenly turned pale, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. He looked fine now, but he knew that his internal organs were probably a complete mess.

Commander Night Fox refused the battalion commander's request to use the channel and communicated: "The Hound Squad's mission has failed. I have temporarily appointed Di Jiang as the acting captain. The second wave of Blood Servants is charging. Frontline personnel are free to choose."

Jiang He waved and came to the tunnel on the first floor.

The three exchanged surprised glances, not expecting there was still a way out.

The sniper pondered, no wonder the commander had given authority to the guy named Dijiang, it turned out he had been prepared all along.

The four entered the tunnel, and a large number of blood servants poured in around the hospital. The hall was densely packed with people rushing into the tunnel to chase after them. However, the passage was too narrow, and Lynx still had the strength to cover their retreat.

"That's fine," Luo Yeli said. She knew Jiang He was eyeing the massive amount of military merit from the Blood Servants, so she readily cooperated.

Jiang He closed his eyes, and a 3D image of the hospital appeared in his mind. A dozen or so rock spikes, which were not particularly lethal, protruded, reducing the power but increasing the number, and detonated the grenades one by one.

Boom boom boom!
Forty explosions rang out in quick succession.

The hospital collapsed completely, with building materials falling amidst the dense bloodstains in the lobby.

At the same time, the intense tremors caused the tunnel to collapse.

Jiang He felt like she was buried underground, but she had "skin breathing," so she wouldn't suffocate. However, the tremors caused her severe pain.

"Four and a half C-level military merits. Command temporarily assumes that you perished together with the Blood Servant. Squads 224 and 225 have been ordered to assist Captain Hound in attacking Red Knight. Take the opportunity to run away quickly."

"The sniper is unconscious. I'm going to kill him. A D-grade sniper rifle and A-grade source energy bullets might be enough to give Red Jazz a good beating."

"Then I'll disconnect for a moment."

Jiang He turned and dug, stabbing the sniper in the heart with a knife.

[Speed: E-→E]
[Spirit: E-→E]
First, Jiang He found the sniper rifle and the source energy bullet. Then, he woke up the unconscious Lynx and Fisher in the mud. Perhaps it was because he gave the two of them a very reliable illusion that they were always following him closely when facing a crisis.

"They're quite resilient."

"Hmm... how come I'm not dead?"

"Shut up, you cannon fodder. Go back and write your application for permanent employment."

Lynx gritted his teeth. The losses were too severe this time. He suspected that the command group had no intention of letting the three special forces squads return alive.

With limited underground oxygen, Jiang He accelerated the excavation.

Seven hundred meters later, the three men emerged from the ground.

The Blood Servant Army converged on Guanzhuang Middle School in the center of the battlefield.

In the backyard of the shop, Jiang He found the motorcycle that Luo Yeli had mentioned, but unfortunately it was a two-seater, front and back.

Fisher looked humbled and raised his hand, saying, "I'll sit in the trunk, don't leave me behind."

Jiang He nodded. This guy was a Twilight player, but killing other players in the battlefield was not profitable now. He didn't mind supporting a player leader and then wiping them all out.

beep!
The motorcycle was started, and the three of them headed straight for the outskirts of Guanzhuang Town.

"Commander, find a suitable sniping spot."

"receive."

……

Guanzhuang Middle School.

Since Corend's death, the level of command has decreased.

The mission had failed, and the mastermind behind this private operation no longer cared. With the Blood Servant Army surrounding them, the two special forces squads had no chance of survival. The command ordered that no effort be spared in trying to seriously injure Sir Red and delay his promotion to marquis.

Boom boom boom!
The red-robed youth seemed to handle the hound captain's ferocious attack with ease, killing three F-rank Night Warriors in three strikes. His fundamental power was [Gravity Field], which ranked seventeenth in the human race's talent sequence.

“Grunos’s presence has vanished.”

"Was it an accident, or did I misjudge the talent?"

With a single thrust to the face, the Hound Captain's eyes turned bloodshot.

Red Jazz smiled, and sure enough, in the next instant, the blade light that had been filled with rage and sharpness paused.

He deftly bypassed the sharp edge, unleashing a powerful strike that concentrated and destroyed the enemy's head.

But at this very moment...

Red Jazz suddenly felt a stinging pain on the side of his forehead.

"Someone's aiming at me... No, it's too far away, a bullet has entered my detection range, so fast!"

—Class A Annihilation Rapid-Fire Projectile.

One of the standard features of the Ace Squad.

Realizing the power of the bullet, Red Knight's eyes turned serious. He turned his head and saw a streak of light arriving in front of him. The complex effects of gravity had obviously been taken into account by the sniper.

Whoosh!
A magnificent noble longsword slashed out.

Driven by gravity, this secret sword strike possessed incredible speed, but in an instant, the internal energy surrounding the bullet exploded, causing the bullet to change speed.

Just a hair’s breadth!

boom!
The bullet pierced Red Jazz's eye socket, and the annihilation force rapidly destroyed his blood core, brain, and life force. Under the entire night sky, only the Apocalypse Satellite recorded Red Jazz's fall.

On a hillside five kilometers away.

Jiang He wiped the blood from his face. The D-grade source energy gun exploded due to the unbearable pressure, further disfiguring him and causing the most serious injury since the operation in Guanzhuang Town.

"That's a good thing."

Luo Yeli said, "Your sharpshooter certification is successful. You'll receive a monthly training allowance of seven D-level military merits. After sniping the Red Knight of the Gangro Clan, you now have a full A-level military merit. You can spend it when you return to the Night Outpost."

Jiang He got back on his motorcycle and asked, "How's the purchasing power?"

“One A-level military merit can be broken down into ten B-level military merits, and five B-level military merits can buy one of the most popular female celebrities in the fortress city. Of course, no one would waste it like that… Why aren’t you saying anything?”

"Pity."

What are you regretting?

Jiang He's expression remained unchanged. In the Nine Provinces World, Immortal Pig Bodies were readily available, but this kind of specialty had obvious regional characteristics and might not be common in the Dark World.
