Chapter 50: Infantry Platoon

Blackbird Heavy Industries was a very famous company in the city of Wistdom.

As the name suggests, it was a heavy industry company, specializing in the production of various large-scale machinery, with its tentacles spread across every corner of the city of Wistdom. For example, in the Seventeenth District, there was a Blackbird Heavy Industries' factory, where one-fifth of the population of the Seventeenth District worked.

It was rumored that those who entered the Blackbird Heavy Industries' factory to work signed lifetime contracts. But because the wages were not low, and there were subsidies for food and accommodation, it was still a good place for many poor people in the Lower Districts. Many people who couldn't make it or simply had no more hope in life might choose to enter the Blackbird Heavy Industries' factory.

Why did Blackbird Heavy Industries attack the Clover Hunter's Guild? Why did they attack Yascha's car?

These questions flashed through Liwei's mind, but he didn't dwell on them. There was no value in speculating without more information.

What was truly valuable was to find a way to kill all these mechanical men holding K5 semi-automatic rifles right now.

At the moment, Liwei and Cai Yutong, looking through the window, saw about forty-five or so semi-mechanical infantrymen to the east. They were armed with semi-automatic rifles and were constantly suppressing the Hunters on the main road.

Moreover, if they listened carefully, there were probably even more enemies on the road to the west.

Liwei and Cai Yutong attempted to strike from a distance through the window, and the effect was good, but it quickly became unsustainable.

Those semi-mechanical beings were not easy to deal with. If Liwei's secondary armor-piercing bullets did not hit the head directly and achieve a headshot, it was difficult to cause any significant damage.

With his Sharingan activated, Liwei's marksmanship was still good. He quickly took down two semi-mechanical beings. Beside him, Cai Yutong, who seemed to specialize in weapon use, also achieved quite a good result. Her energy blast was much more powerful than Liwei's armor-piercing bullets, and she took down three people.

But that was about the limit.

While they were shooting out the window, the semi-mechanical beings were not passively receiving fire. The firepower of more than forty semi-automatic rifles was still very fierce.

Although the bullets used by these semi-mechanical beings were not energy bullets, the power of rifles was much stronger than pistols. The larger caliber and higher kinetic energy of the bullets posed a greater threat.

Liwei had fired a magazine's worth of bullets and had been hit by three or four bullets himself. He could clearly feel that his mage armor was under great pressure. It had not cracked yet, but Liwei didn't dare to take risks.

The mage armor lasted for eight hours and was a permanent defensive enhancement effect, but the spell could only be cast once an hour. It had only been about twenty minutes since he cast the spell, so it was broken now. He would have to rely on his own naked body to fight for the next forty minutes.

On the other hand, Cai Yutong's situation was better than Liwei's. She had only been hit by two bullets. Although she didn't have mage armor, she had equipment. The orange combat suit she was wearing obviously had excellent bulletproof capabilities.

However, whether it was Liwei's mage armor or Cai Yutong's combat suit, they were not raincoats, and bullets were not rain. If they were heavily fired upon, the danger was still very high.

Moreover, the weapons possessed by those semi-mechanical beings were not just firearms. Behind those semi-mechanical infantrymen, an AT9 cannon had already been set up.

A whistling cannonball suddenly blasted into the window where Liwei and Cai Yutong were, blowing it to pieces.

Fortunately, Liwei and Cai Yutong had long since left.

Liwei, who was experienced in urban combat, had already changed his position with Cai Yutong when he was suppressed after firing. He wouldn't stay in one place waiting to be shot at.

The Hunters were heavily suppressed. The firepower of the semi-mechanical beings from both the east and west directions was very fierce. The combination of semi-automatic rifles and cannons made it impossible for the Hunters to move, only to hide in the buildings, occasionally counterattacking, but most of the time, they were running around dodging bullets and artillery fire.

If this continued, they would be too passive.

Cai Yutong was anxious now. She even took out her handgun, wanting to expose herself and fire back several times, but Liwei stopped her.

This girl was not ungrateful; she also knew that Liwei was doing it for her own good. If she went up and fired a shot, she probably wouldn't be able to destroy the enemy's cannon, but she would immediately be hit by the enemy's counterattack after revealing her position.

But she was still anxious. She shook Liwei's arm and said, "Think of something!"

Liwei rolled his eyes and said, "What can I do?"

He really had no way. He wasn't Superman, and he couldn't rush out into the rain of bullets alone to solve all the problems.

That was an entire infantry platoon!

However, he quickly added, "You don't need to worry too much. If we can't handle it, someone else will. Just wait a moment."

Liwei's words didn't have much comforting effect. Cai Yutong was still very anxious.

But what he said was true. Before long, Liwei and Cai Yutong saw two figures rushing out of the street below.

"It's Benderui and Qianlong!" Cai Yutong exclaimed in surprise.

These two people had obviously surpassed the limit level and had quite strong combat power. They must have activated their genetic locks. As for the specific development level, Liwei couldn't tell for now due to his limited eyesight.

The one called Benderui seemed to be good at long-range attacks, but his weapon was not a firearm, but a very rare longbow. With the bowstring pulled, one arrow could easily shoot down a person.

The other one, called Qianlong, looked big and sturdy, but in fact, he looked more like a mental type. In front of himself and Benderui, he constructed a semi-transparent blue energy arc, making the firearms in the hands of the semi-mechanical infantrymen basically ineffective against them.

Liwei even saw that the AT9 cannon in the distance, when fired, only dimmed Qianlong's shield for a moment, with some cracks appearing vaguely, but it definitely couldn't be broken.

"I told you." Liwei laughed, "Now we can go up. Young lady, show your firepower, remember to cover me."

With that, before Cai Yutong could react, Liwei stood up from his hiding place, raised his pistol, fired out of the window while flipping out the window, and rushed towards the front line of those semi-mechanical infantrymen!
