716: Chapter 58 Splendid Solo Performance (3rd update presented) 716: Chapter 58 Splendid Solo Performance (3rd update presented) Lieutenant Parker found himself in a difficult situation.
He didn’t expect Tang Zheng’s squad to have such a strong nerve.
He originally planned to wear them down with an ambush, but the other side held their ground steadfastly without any sign of wavering.
“Lieutenant, if we wait any longer, we’ll beco the laughingstock of the entire base,” a soldier opened a communicator, complaining discontentedly, “Even if they can drive a Scavenger, once on the battlefield, it’s all about bloodletting with a dagger.
I do not believe that their shooting skills and tactics are better than us old soldiers who have fought for six or seven years.”
The other three soldiers remained silent, but Parker knew what they ant.
They also wanted to fight.
After all, being a soldier and not having any martial pride was impossible, especially when faced with a group of civilians.
“Alright, start the attack, follow the original plan.
Machine two harasses and lures, machines three and four attack on the flanks, machine five stands by for sniping.” Parker decided to stop waiting and initiate an attack.
After all, the longer he followed, the easier it was to reveal his position.
“Yes, Sir!” The four soldiers responded, imdiately speeding up their movents.
Using their knowledge of the terrain, they easily covered their tracks while keeping a safe distance of thirty ters.
Any closer, and their footsteps might be heard.
“Here it cos, be ready.
There’s a hiding spot five ters to the left.” Tang Zheng calculated the ti, looking at the terrain around him, and said these words to Dantai.
Every five ters the unit crossed, Tang Zheng would find a temporary hiding spot, his approach was also based on this thinking.
In case of a sudden attack, he could find shelter as quickly as possible.
Ruan Fei Fei was about to find an excuse to refute when the gunfire suddenly started, a large caliber bullet trailed by a red flare drew a long line in the night.
“Take cover!” Tang Zheng shouted, suddenly turning towards the bullet’s path and firing single shots while making use of the terrain for cover.
He began a wild sprint.
A rhythmic barrage of gunshots imdiately followed.
Seeing the red paint bullets splattering against the shelter, machine two was taken aback; if these were live ammunition, the wall would be shattered, and he would be hit.
“Such precise shooting.” Machine two complinted, quickly shifting his position.
As soon as he fired two shots, the little Lolita on the other side began to unload bullets with her dual guns for firepower suppression.
Each bullet landed in close proximity, her aim was also ridiculously precise.
“He’s actually charging.
Machine three, machine five suppress the squad, others surround and kill Tang Zheng.” Seeing Tang Zheng break away from his unit to chase machine two, Parker quickly changed his strategy.
Dividing and conquering was always the easiest approach.
“Since you’ve co out, don’t bla for removing you early.” Parker never intended to employ sniping tactics.
It would not only be unspectacular but could also bring criticism.
After all, it was a showdown, winning it fair and square was the way to go.
“But using a sniper to suppress the civilian squad is also sothing I can do.”
“Really disgraceful.” Lieutenant Colonel Pang Ke couldn’t help but complain.
As a soldier, any tactic would be fair ga, but their opponents were re civilians.
It seed they were not above degrading themselves.
“Impulsive.” The generals shook their heads, considering Tang Zheng as reckless.
Looking again at his own squad, they were pinned by sniper fire every ti they tried to move.
Completely surrounded by shelter, they had no way of helping Tang Zheng.
“One versus three, he will surely lose.” Training fields were surrounded by projection screens, broadcasting the battle live to provide entertainnt for the civilians during their work breaks.
Consequently, the civilian audience had a decent understanding of combat.
Upon witnessing Tang Zheng’s ‘reckless’ action, a mixed chorus of chatter sounded, especially from those who had backed Tang Zheng’s victory; they began to boo him.
Tang Zheng couldn’t hear these voices; he continued his wild sprint through the shadows cast by the buildings, quickly closing the distance on machine two.
Machine two was shocked.
Just as he escaped from Lu Fan and shook off her suppression, Tang Zheng appeared a dozen ters away.
His advancing speed was alarmingly fast.
With a bang, machine two, being a soldier, quickly cald down and spotted Tang Zheng’s movent pattern.
Machine two imdiately anticipated his course and delivered a burst of single shots.
“Aweso.” Machine two praised as he looked at his shooting range.
His face was filled with joy; it was undoubtedly a super-performance.
The next mont, however, he was stunned.
The Scavenger suddenly jumped, no longer running in the shadow.
Using a building to leap three ters in the air before plunging into a broken wall.
Machine two maintained calm control on the front, but was always alert to the rear.
However, when Scavenger reached the wall, it flipped over, completely overturning his speculation.
“Damn.” Incorrect guesses every single ti made machine two almost go mad.
He started to feel restless which began to affect his shooting.
As Tang Zheng jumped out of the wall, his sweep imdiately caused the civilians to gasp.
Initially dual-wielding heavy machine guns, now only one remaining in his right hand, while his left hand was entirely empty, its gun latched onto the back-mounted rack.
“What is he up to?” The civilians were puzzled.
Anyone would think that dual guns were advantageous, yet he cut himself off.
“Save ammunition?
Doesn’t seem right?” The generals also frowned.
They found Tang Zheng’s actions increasingly incomprehensible.
However, the next mont, not only them, but the entire training field was filled with a great gasp of air.
At this instant, under Tang Zheng’s operation, the Scavenger Powered Armor completely shattered its clumsy image, moving flexibly like a graceful sprite.
The Scavenger made a leap, crossing over four-ter-high ruins, disappearing behind it, then appearing a few ters away like a gazelle, making a continuous roll, and once again rushed into a shadow.
Machine two fired endlessly, forming a barrage.
But the red paint bullets burst open, failing even to graze Tang Zheng’s rear.
“Can a Scavenger actually be this strong?”
The civilians watching Tang Zheng’s outstanding performance were almost popping their eyeballs.
They had seen plenty of training matches, but even the top soldiers’ movents were sowhat rigid when using Scavenger powered armors.
All they could do was charge, make sudden stops, and perform simple evasion.
These tactical maneuvers as nimble as those of athletes were unheard of.
“Impossible, how can his body withstand such acceleration, and his nerve response isn’t even fast enough?” The generals knew every flaw of the Scavenger, as it was their trump card.
But seeing how Tang Zheng brought out the vitality of the Scavenger, it looked like a war god in his hands.
“Let’s see how it performs in actual combat?” The Commanding General was sowhat thrilled, and as soon as he spoke, excitent echoed again outside the training ground.
Tang Zheng’s Scavenger dodged the barrage, leaped onto a broken wall, but due to its severe weathering, the wall couldn’t bear the weight of the suit and shattered directly, sending Tang Zheng tumbling down.
“Good opportunity.” The pilot of ch No.2 smirked, quickly aid and fired two single shots.
Just when the civilians thought Tang Zheng was certain to be hit and lose the competition, his Scavenger drew out an alloy nano military knife, plunged it into the ground, then swiftly flicked his wrist, making the entire suit hang in mid-air, and flipped.
The paint bullets missed, hitting the wall behind him.
“Can that even work?” The civilians couldn’t believe their eyes.
Was that handso young man really a civilian?
Or, was he a Scavenger tester?
Parker also charged up and had a clear view of this.
His eyes twitched in disbelief, he quickly seethed with resentnt.
He knew he couldn’t perform at this level.
It simply required too high physical fitness.
ch No.2 didn’t expect Tang Zheng to dodge the bullets in such a manner.
He was startled, and in that instant of delay, Tang Zheng took the chance.
While still flipping mid-air, Tang Zheng raised his gun and aid at ch No.2.
If he couldn’t locate his position with all those bullets being fired, he believed he could just die.
Boom, boom!
Without giving ch No.2 any chance to evade, six paint bullets accurately hit the target, splashed the bulletproof glass with red.
If these were real bullets it would have shattered the cockpit completely.
“In less than twenty seconds, so powerful.” So generals quietly applauded, praising him.
From engaging in combat to now, it took him only twenty seconds to destroy a Scavenger.
Even the most stringent generals had to admit Tang Zheng’s potent ability.
“Damn!” Thud!
The pilot of ch No.2 took off his helt and slamd it on the operating desk.
He never expected to be killed so soon.
It was extrely embarrassing.
After the successful attack, Tang Zheng imdiately slipped into the shadows, noticing ch No.4 and Parker’s ch No.1 charging at him.
They were very swift, and if he delayed a few seconds, he would have been besieged by them.
“ch No.4, surround and kill him with .” While suppressing Tang Zheng’s positions with gunfire, Parker also accelerated his charge.
At this point, he wished he could crash into Tang Zheng and dismantle him.
“Looking down on people, huh?” With ch No.2 no longer providing restraint, Tang Zheng relaxed considerably.
Suddenly, he popped out from his cover and shot towards Parker, then started to intentionally move towards ch No.4.
ch No.4 took joy in Tang Zheng’s movent with his back towards him, thinking that he hadn’t noticed him.
However, every ti he aid his gun, his bullets narrowly missed Tang Zheng, who was hiding behind the shelter.
“Could it be intentional?” ch No.4 moved his muzzle five tis but couldn’t get an opportunity to shoot even once.
This feeling of being suppressed made him almost nauseous.
“Twenty ters.” Like a nimble migratory fish, Tang Zheng darted among the ruins, his on-the-spot judgnt overwhelming.
Ten seconds later, he abruptly sprang out of the cover, firing a barrage of single shots at ch No.4.
“He was indeed pretending.” ch No.4 was taken aback and dove into the nearby ruins.
Just as he took a breath, realizing he had just survived, his face turned pale, he saw his Scavenger suit’s leg was painted red by the paint bullets.
According to the rules of the competition, he was now crippled and should stay in place, forbidden to move.
Pang Ke frowned and was about to tell the host that ch No.4 had violated the rules and lost his qualifications.
But seeing no one else ntioning it, he wisely shut up.
He didn’t want to incur public wrath.
The civilians didn’t care about these things, they jeered at ch No.4, but the next mont, they all cheered for Tang Zheng.
