Chapter 288 Remote Electrotherapy
Chapter 288 Remote Electrotherapy
"boom!"
Along with the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground, a breakthrough expert holding a pneumatic shield among the assault team that was advancing in an orderly manner at the bottom of the boarding tower suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"Enemy attack!"
The sergeant who noticed this scene was shocked, and immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse and call for the support team in the rear, hoping to get fire suppression.
However, even though the support team quickly followed and scanned all places where people might be hiding, and even removed part of the floor, they still could not find the attacker.
What’s even more terrible is that since the first breakthrough expert fell, one soldier after another fell down with their eyes rolled back, as if some unknown epidemic was spreading rapidly.
No matter whether they hid behind the pneumatic shields, behind the steel beams of the boarding tower, or simply retreated into the raided compartment, they were still unable to stop the attack of the mysterious attacker. Not only could the soldiers of the breakthrough team not find the opponent's position, they didn't even understand how their teammates lay down.
Everyone was obviously hiding behind the cover with no limbs exposed, but it was as if they were being called out by the god of death one by one. Every few seconds, one of them would lie down with his eyes rolled up, and the rate of attrition was accelerating!
"Retreat! The front team becomes the rear team, break through with shields in hand, retreat quickly!"
After the 30th soldier also lay down and inexplicably lost consciousness, the sergeant who had been gritting his teeth and persevering finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and directly issued an order to terminate the sweep and immediately evacuate downwards, which made everyone unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, the soldiers did not relax for long.
Although the number of soldiers who suddenly fainted decreased sharply after the assault team began to evacuate, less than ten seconds later, the "Grim Reaper" who had never shown up began to chase them.
Amid the soldiers' terrified expressions, people kept rolling their eyes and falling down without any warning during the evacuation. Not only the lagging breakthrough team, but even the support team in the front began to suddenly fall over, blocking the way of evacuation.
He wants to annihilate us!
After realizing the intention of the "God of Death", the soldiers of the assault team became more and more panicked as they looked at their teammates on the ground whose lives or deaths were unknown.
At the beginning, there were still non-commissioned officers trying to maintain order. But when the non-commissioned officers fell down with their eyes rolled back, the originally orderly evacuation became completely chaotic.
One by one, the soldiers threw off their heavy equipment with horror in their eyes and began to rush downwards. Some of them suddenly fell down, and some were tripped by their fallen teammates. Then they fainted instantly when the "God of Death" called out their names.
Less than two minutes later, nearly a hundred people had fallen down on the stairs of just over five hundred steps.
No matter it was the assault team that entered first, or the support team that arrived later, all of them had lost consciousness and lay on the ground in unison. The huge boarding tower fell completely silent, and except for the breathing of those who had fainted, no other sound could be heard.
……
I'm a bit overconfident...
After confirming that all the people who entered the boarding tower had been knocked down, Leon, who had activated the Holy Spirit Pendant hundreds of times in a row, couldn't help but let out a long sigh and rubbed his swollen and painful temples.
Under the premise of not wanting to cause mass deaths, the mental shock ability of the Holy Spirit Pendant is stable and efficient. It can knock down the target without showing up, and the physical strength consumed during activation can be paid by the [War Diagonal]. In theory, it is the fastest and safest way to fight.
Unfortunately, although [War Diagon] can replenish physical strength infinitely, it cannot make up for the mental loss.
Every time he used the [Holy Spirit Pendant] to launch a mental attack, he was using his own will to shake the opponent's will. It was almost like a person who had practiced the Iron Head Skill, using his head to crack watermelons one after another. If he cracked too many watermelons, he would get a concussion. If it weren't for the completely unknown means that caused the soldiers of the assault team to be terrified and their fighting spirit to collapse quickly, these hundreds of battles of will alone would have been enough to make him suffer.
We must change our approach!
After estimating his own condition and feeling that he could not handle so many soldiers with mental shock alone, Leon immediately changed his mind and started to move upwards again. Then he set up the sniper rifle that had been gathering dust for a long time in the middle of the boarding tower.
If he really used the Black Goat's ability to instigate the guards to kill each other, he would definitely be able to evacuate safely. However, unlike Ryan's bloody night, these soldiers outside the tower were just doing their duty and had not committed any unforgivable sins.
He also possessed the [Endless Bloody Battle] of Sheep Horns, the [Dominate the Death] of Sheep Heart, and the [Drunken Immortal] as the last trump card, a total of three means of life-saving. There was really no need to go on a killing spree.
Then the most appropriate way at the moment is to temporarily destroy the command system of these soldiers, and then rush out while the command is in chaos, pretending to be killed, completing the closed loop about the "future", and after Joshua's soul flame leaves, get up and completely break out of the encirclement!
Safe! That's it!
……
Five fully armed elite teams were wiped out in just over two minutes from the first gunshot to the end?
Looking at the boarding tower that had become completely quiet, the officers waiting outside began to tremble slightly in their hands.
What's going on inside?
Those who have just entered the boarding tower, in addition to pneumatic shields and conventional light weapons, even have a medium-sized rapid-fire weapon. This is almost the configuration required to clear out local strongholds in a large-scale war.
As long as the assault team and the support team are not disconnected and keep advancing slowly, even if there are hundreds of armed rebels lying in ambush inside, they cannot pose any threat to them.
Even if it wasn't a group of armed rebels, but an army with the same configuration, with the elite level of the breakthrough team, they could at least hold out for a while, right? How come there was no movement after just one breath?
Just as the commander of the guard was looking at the boarding tower in front of him that seemed to be able to eat people, hesitating whether to send more people in to check the situation, the other several troops that had set up checkpoints on the periphery had already hurried over.
"Matthew! What's going on in there?!"
A tall commander, surrounded by guards, came over, grabbed the commander of the guards who arrived first, and growled anxiously:
"We set up so many checkpoints, how come someone can still sneak in?
Also, where are your people? I just saw you let the breakthrough team in, why is there no movement inside now? What's going on in the tower?"
"Inside the tower... be careful!"
"boom!"
Along with the sound of the air being torn apart, a nail suddenly shot out from the middle of the boarding tower, passed directly through the gap between the two pneumatic shields, and sank into the ground not far away with a puff.
There are snipers?
Looking at the crater just one step away from them, the two commanders who escaped death turned pale in the face. The cold sweat on their backs soaked the undershirts of their uniforms. They were glad that the sniper missed the target, otherwise they would have died on the spot.
However, before they could call the guards after escaping death, a small dog paw stretched out from the bullet crater made by the nail and pushed out a strange dark purple crystal.
This is... a lightning-struck mine? !
After recognizing that this strange crystal that suddenly appeared was the lightning ore stored in the cargo hold of the airship, the two commanders' pupils shrank sharply and they turned and ran.
Unfortunately, before they could complete the turning movement, the little dog's paw slapped down suddenly, and the dark purple lightning ore shattered. A large number of leaping electric arcs jumped out instantly, completely submerging the figures of the two people!
