Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 36 Blood Sun General
Half an hour later, the entire building was completely cleared.
I must say, when facing sporadic, small groups of enemies, the combat power of the Holy Blood is quite formidable.
Li Shi, as the Shield Guard, stood there with a large door panel propped on the ground. All the Terror Demons charging head-on were skewered by him with a short spear, while those trying to flank were easily handled by Zeng Yi and Xu Lie.
Xie Liu only needed to guard the rear, which wasn’t too stressful, and since she moved faster than the other three, she handled the isolated enemies with ease.
After a round of fighting, Chen Jian also had a more intuitive understanding of their combat ability.
In short, they are strong, but not to an unimaginable extent.
Especially in narrow areas, the capability for wide-range high-speed maneuvering brought by greater strength and body structure is severely limited, resulting in their ability being less than one-third of their potential.
So if we are to turn against them in the future...
It’s best to settle it indoors.
Chen Jian silently recorded this weakness onto his PDA, where he had already noted over twenty similar pieces of intelligence in the sa folder.
chanical God Sect’s, Holy Blood’s, Terror Demon’s, Water Demon’s, Giant Monster’s...
This information will beco one of the most important chips in the future, also the ace in his sleeve for standing firm on this land.
Of course, the mbers of the Holy Blood Team will never know that the weaknesses they expose in each battle have been docunted.
They probably still think that Chen Jian lets them clean up the ss just to save ammo...
Upon returning to the rooftop, He Shuo, who stayed behind, had already cleared the observation space and set up his sniper aiming at the Horror Demon Camp two kiloters away.
Shen Yue, acting as the spotter, held his VECTOR 23, observing while reporting to Chen Jian:
"The target camp has been marked on the map, it is confird as the main camp of the Blood Skull on the west bank."
"The camp’s size is about 400 ters both horizontally and vertically, with buildings densely packed."
"Currently, more than 100 active targets outdoors have been detected, estimating at least 300 enemies inside the camp."
"A large number of cold weapons, a small amount of firearms, mortars, and rocket launchers were discovered."
"People are moving weapons to the tin building in the center, presud to be their armory."
"If we want to raid, we must penetrate deep into the camp, but infiltration is almost impossible."
"The situation is complicated and hard to handle."
After Shen Yue’s report, Chen Jian nodded slowly.
As Xu Lie ntioned before, this Blood Skull camp is really a turtle shell.
The Terror Demons clearly aren’t as adept as humans in complex tactical arrangents and city defense deploynts, so they chose the most brainless, yet simplest defense strategy.
Which is to gather all combat power as densely as possible, minimizing the possibility of infiltration and breach.
How the heck do you play this?
If it were solely about eliminating these Blood Skulls, simply removing this camp from the map, even with limited ammunition, Chen Jian had a hundred ways to deal with them.
But the problem is, his goal is not "cleaning," but "looting," which makes things complicated.
Ensuring the safety of the armory’s supplies while taking out hundreds of Blood Skulls?
What kind of full-scale exercise script is this?
Chen Jian now understood why the City Defense Departnt of Han Shui City didn’t send people to take out this entire camp, simply put, the cost-effectiveness is too low.
The sa goes for his team now, if they had to clean through bit by bit, even if they could clean it all, the bullet consumption would be staggering, not to ntion if they only snatched back a few mortar shells, it wouldn’t be worth it in the end.....
Chen Jian frowned as he watched the Terror Demons on a rooftop inside the camp torturing captured prisoners for entertainnt, he was also at a loss for a mont.
Seeing his expression, Lei Jie pondered for a mont and then asked:
"How about a fire attack? It’s almost October now, the weather is dry, and the wind direction is favorable."
"If we could set a fire from the north side, it should spread quickly."
"No, as soon as a fire is discovered, they would evacuate with their equipnt, then it would beco even more difficult to catch them."
Chen Jian shook his head, and Shen Yue promptly asked:
"What about poisoning? They have to eat and drink, right?"
"...Do they look like they have a concentrated food source to you? Hundreds of people, poisoning them is too difficult, unless we could find so VX or similar poison to spread."
"But as far as I know, we can’t find such agents in our country."
The situation ca to a stalemate, and Xu Lie, who was also using a makeshift telescope he sohow acquired to observe the camp, finally spoke after a long silence:
"Like I said, we really don’t have much of a solution for these Terror Demons."
"If push cos to shove, maybe we should just retreat for now, the equipnt issue will sort itself out eventually, maybe so patience and a few days at the market will see the artillery shells you need appear?"
"Or, if absolutely necessary, we could make contact with the chanical God Sect and try to get supplies from them...."
"You’re talking nonsense."
Chen Jian interrupted rcilessly:
"If we considered those options as primary solutions, we wouldn’t have co here in the first place."
Saying this, Chen Jian lifted his telescope again, trying to find a breachable loophole within the Terror Demon’s camp.
But just as his view focused on the camp, his expression suddenly changed.
A huge, fat, ugly humanoid monster, covered in heavy scrap tal pieces bound together with chains, was erging from the tin building at the camp’s center.
All the Terror Demons who saw it prostrated themselves on the ground as if worshipping it.
While it wielded a twisted iron spear made from rebar, casually spearing a nearby Terror Demon corpse and tearing at it with its mouth.
The Terror Demons’ cheers were loud enough to be heard from two kiloters away, giving Chen Jian chills. He asked aloud:
"What on earth is that??"
Xu Lie hurriedly looked in the direction Chen Jian pointed out and, after finally getting the focus right, answered:
"Blood Sun General."
"So also call it, Blood Lord."
"It’s the highest leader of this Blood Skull camp and generally doesn’t leave. Must be so kind of ceremony today."
Blood Sun General?
The na does sound quite mighty...
"Is it very strong?"
Chen Jian asked.
"Not too strong."
Xu Lie shook his head:
"If we categorize monsters by level, it’s probably just level five."
"The problem is, it has virtually no apparent weaknesses, so fighting it relies solely on pure direct confrontation."
"You saw it too, over four ters tall, with powerful strength coupled with unmatched agility, the combat power it demonstrates is quite considerable."
"The four of us can hardly deal with it; we would need to gather more than 12 Holy Blood, including at least 4 Shield Guards, to possibly bring it down."
"That is pretty strong indeed."
Chen Jian pondered for a mont and then suddenly asked:
"If it dies, what will the remaining Terror Demons do?"
"I don’t know."
Xu Lie shrugged:
"But they might go all out in vengeance, like charging towards Han Shui City to attack it...wait a second?!"
He looked at Chen Jian, eyes filled with horror.
Before he could continue, Chen Jian asked:
"Can Han Shui City’s defenses hold?"
"They should be able to----but you can’t do that!"
"Think of the civilians in the city, they could die because of it!"
"They won’t."
Chen Jian shook his head, answering:
"Han Shui City’s administrators collect taxes, right?"
"If those who collect taxes let taxpayers die first, then this city really deserves a new owner."
Xu Lie seed persuaded, but after a mont, hesitantly asked:
"Is it worth stirring up such a commotion for just a bit of equipnt?"
Chen Jian shook his head again.
"It’s not just about the equipnt----can’t you see? I want to create an opportunity for Han Shui City, an opportunity to thoroughly eliminate the threat from the Blood Skulls around."
"We’re risking our lives, sacrificing ourselves for the greater good."
"Taking a small reward wouldn’t be too much to ask, would it?"
