Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 351 - 161: No Cover Against 14.5 Caliber

At the sa ti, on the outskirts of the battlefield.

Li Shi was carrying two severely wounded Huaxia Army soldiers on his back, using the 301 heavy machine gun in his hands to slowly but steadily push through the dense jungle ahead.

Among the two soldiers, one had both legs amputated from the knee down, and even with tourniquets, the wounds continued to seep blood.

The other had his abdon pierced, and without proper dressing, a grayish-blue piece of intestine was gradually freezing in the biting cold wind.

Ahead of him, Xie Liu kept moving quickly, changing positions to alert and expose any monsters lurking on the sides.

In the absence of drones to detect the monsters, such actions were quite effective, but also fairly risky.

More than once, a monster’s claw brushed just centiters from her face.

If not for the extraordinary physique and keen reflexes of the Holy Blood, she wouldn’t know how many tis she would have been killed.

But she never hesitated.

Because right now, she was the only eyes of this four-person squad.

She knew better than anyone that once they lost the advantage of vision and information, the four of them would be torn apart by the rushing monsters in an instant!

"Bang bang bang bang----"

The rhythmic gunfire echoed in the forest, and after changing out the last ammo box of the 201 general-purpose machine gun, Xie Liu shouted:

"Li Shi! Move faster!"

"We must rendezvous with the main force as soon as possible! There are more and more monsters around!"

"I know!"

Li Shi shouted in response:

"But there are even more monsters ahead! We can’t get through!"

"We can get through!"

Xie Liu calmly used a single shot to penetrate a monster lunging at her from less than ten ters away, then gasped and said:

"We can only go forward! There are even more monsters behind us!"

"This is the last layer, as long as we get through it, we can get fire support from the main position!"

"Get past this obstacle, and we’re safe!"

"Okay!"

Maybe naturally a bit more slow-witted than others, even though the situation was already dire, Li Shi’s voice still carried a sense of unflinching calm.

The heavy machine gun in his hands had already fired until the barrel was glowing red, and upon noticing the slight blue smoke from wood chips falling onto the barrel, Li Shi imdiately threw the heavy machine gun to his side, then picked up another 201 general-purpose machine hanging on his side.

The scorching barrel inevitably burned the wounded soldier on his back, and upon hearing the other’s scream, Li Shi apologized loudly while pulling the trigger hard, spraying bullets at the monster in front that was already swinging its claws.

"Bang bang bang bang----"

"Puff puff puff puff----"

The bullets pierced through the monster’s body directly, and then Li Shi stepped forward, his heavy stride crushing the monster’s head that had already been grazed by bullets.

He caught his breath slightly, intending to move forward, but just then, Xie Liu’s shout suddenly ca to his ears.

"Watch out!"

Li Shi instinctively turned his head, and beside him, two monsters that had been lurking, suddenly sprang up from a depression less than 5 ters away!

Dead leaves, mud, and grass flew into the air. Li Shi instinctively wanted to turn his gun, but his speed couldn’t match the monsters’.

He could only raise his arm as much as possible, using his armored-covered arm to forcibly et a monster’s claw.

The high-density bulletproof material on the exoskeleton blocked what should have been a fatal blow, but under imnse force, even he stumbled uncontrollably.

At this mont, Xie Liu was entangled with a monster, leaving her unable to expose her back or move her gun to cover Li Shi!

This was a choice between two paths.

Five monsters ticulously set up a trap, even willing to sacrifice three monsters as pawns, using their lives to pin down Xie Liu for a perfect kill opportunity!

The hair on Xie Liu’s body stood on end, adrenaline driving her speed to the limit.

She even vaguely felt that at this mont, even if a Blood Source stood in front of her, it wouldn’t escape her cold-blooded shot.

----Yet, this still couldn’t change the fated situation.

At the mont Li Shi fell, the two monsters lurking farther away also rushed forward.

Even if Yellow Stone could kill the first two monsters in the lee, it was impossible to retreat unscathed under the relentless, successive attacks.

The OODA loop was broken.

At that mont, Xie Liu suddenly understood why their captain always emphasized "continuity" during combat.

The reason was simple: once continuity was interrupted, it often ant that the team’s fight had reached its end...

A trace of despair appeared in Xie Liu’s eyes.

For a mont, she regretted why she insisted on staying to cover the wounded.

If they abandoned them, with her and Li Shi’s firepower and mobility, breaking out with the main force wouldn’t have been a difficult task.

----But that thought only lasted a mont.

She knew this wasn’t an honorable choice.

It was an order that had to be carried out.

She and Li Shi were there to cover the Huaxia Army, there was no problem with the mission, only that they didn’t execute it well enough.

Ti seed to slow down at this mont, Xie Liu fired the last bullet towards the monster in front, then without hesitation, turned the gun towards Li Shi’s direction.

She let go of the last monster charging at her.

Li Shi could take one hit, so could she!

"Bang bang bang----"

The bullet left the chamber.

The next mont, the monster’s claw raked across her back.

Even though she had tried her best to lean forward, a large area of skin and muscle on her back was still torn apart.

Blood spurted out, and Xie Liu fell to the ground.

Her gun muzzle was still aid high, and just as she continued to pull the trigger, a deafening gunshot suddenly sounded behind Li Shi.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Awakened by the violent jolt, the wounded on his back raised the 191 rifle he had never put down, firing a series of bullets at the monster in front close to Li Shi’s ear.

The heavy body of the monster fell with a thud, and it was this sudden firepower that abruptly changed the battlefield situation.

Xie Liu rolled back to turn the barrel and shot down the monster attempting to continue the pursuit.

anwhile, Li Shi picked up the 301 heavy machine gun again, and the barrel, cooled by blood, once more spat out bullets that ripped through everything.

"Bang bang bang bang----"

As the heavy gunfire rang, the monster retreated with a thud.

Li Shi struggled to stand up, the wounded on his back finished all the bullets in the magazine, then hoarsely said sothing incomprehensible before falling into unconsciousness again.

Xie Liu staggered towards Li Shi, the two backed up to each other, forming an effective defense once more.

But they both knew they could not get through this final wall of monsters.

The bullets were about to run out.

Both of them were wounded and could no longer move fast.

"Li Shi, you go first, I’ll stay to cover."

Xie Liu ordered without question, then cut the drag strap tied to Li Shi’s back with a knife.

Li Shi imdiately felt a lightness in his body, he instinctively wanted to argue, but almost as he opened his mouth, a clear voice suddenly sounded through their headsets.

"Get down!"

Without a second’s hesitation, he dropped to the ground.

The next mont.

14.5mm caliber bullets swept overhead.

Debris flew, and they still couldn’t see the monsters hidden in the woods.

But for the bullets from an anti-aircraft gun, all obstacles were transparent.

There were no more covers in the dense forest.

As the rumble of the tank cannon echoed, Li Shi realized that this battle finally entered its true endga.

anwhile, miles away.

A massive nuclear explosion signaled the beginning of another battle....
