Chapter 52: Annihilation

"Watch out behind you!" Cai Yutong's reminder was a bit late.

Along with her shout came countless bullets.

The group of semi-mechanical infantrymen from the west had pushed forward and opened fire directly on Benderui, Qianlong, and Liwei, who were exposed on the open road.

Liwei was fortunate, as he was further away, so the bullets coming towards him were not many, and their accuracy was not great either. Just as his mage armor shattered, he managed to slam open a nearby door and hide inside a building.

Cai Yutong also had no major problems, as she had been staying in the previous building and had not come out.

The most unfortunate ones were Benderui and Qianlong, who were the strongest. The bullets were almost all aimed at them.

Benderui, the archer, was not only skilled with his bow and arrow but also quite agile. With a few rolls, he dodged the bullets and found cover to hide behind.

But Qianlong, on the other hand, was not so agile.

He looked like a bodybuilder, but in reality, he was a psychic enhancer, either following the Will Chain or the Hub Chain. The attack came too suddenly, and his recent remote control explosion of the cannonball had consumed a lot of psychic power. Additionally, the bullets were coming from behind.

So, at that moment, he was unable to directly construct a defensive measure around himself.

This was dangerous!

Qianlong had only unlocked his genetic lock three months ago, and his Hub Chain development level was only at level one. While his strength was much stronger than the limit level, in the current situation, it was still a deadly threat to him.

In just a moment, he had been hit by more than twenty bullets.

Although he had not activated the genetic chain of the body system, as an expert who had unlocked the genetic lock, his physical strength was still higher than that of the limit level. He wouldn't directly die from this, but being hit by more than twenty large-caliber semi-automatic rifle bullets would definitely injure him.

Qianlong stumbled towards the roadside, trying to find shelter in a building. But with no other targets to be found, the semi-mechanical infantrymen had almost all their guns aimed at him.

He was likely to be shot dead by the continuous barrage of rifle bullets before finding cover!

At a critical moment, a blue magical claw suddenly reached out from a nearby window!

With glass shards, the claw grabbed Qianlong's collar and quickly pulled him away, dragging him from the window into a shop.

Only Liwei could have done such a thing.

"Cough... you're not very gentle." Qianlong, with many bloodstains on his body, complained. When he was pulled in by the magical claw, he knocked against the window several times.

"Not being gentle can save your life," Liwei replied.

"What's your name? Thanks a lot." Qianlong said with mixed feelings. He felt uncomfortable being saved by a young man who had just unlocked his genetic lock, but he was grateful to be alive. He peeled off his clothes, revealing more than thirty blood holes on his body. Some of the wounds were not serious, as the bullets did not penetrate deeply, but there were six or seven deep bullet holes, where the bullets had gone in at least an inch deep. One bullet even passed straight through his side abdomen.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, with numerous wounds, and in great pain. Seeing this, the feeling of surviving a disaster became even more real to him, and he felt more sincere in his gratitude towards Liwei.

He had just thought he was going to die for real, and if it weren't for Liwei's magical claw, he would probably be dead.

He also marveled at how talents emerged in each generation. He had never seen Liwei before. But just now, and now, Liwei had shown impressive strength, among all the hunters in the Clover Guild, including some of the newly unlocked genetic lock hunters, he was quite outstanding.

"No need to thank me, my name is Liwei." Liwei didn't care about this matter at all. He looked out through the window, watching the neatly arranged semi-mechanical soldiers and the cannon behind them, feeling very worried.

How to deal with these guys?

There should have been about a dozen hunters advancing together on the road. However, at the moment, Liwei only saw Cai Yutong, Qianlong, and Benderui. He had only seen some gunfire from the hunters in some places, but he had not seen any figures.

Where did everyone go?

In such a fierce attack, there must have been casualties among the hunters. Not to mention others, even Qianlong, a master who had unlocked his genetic lock, almost lost his life. It was too normal for casualties under the firepower suppression, especially since his mage armor had already shattered.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the walkie-talkie hanging on Qianlong's body ringing. Benderui's voice came from inside, sounding urgent and concerned about Qianlong.

"How are you, Qianlong?"

"Nothing serious," Qianlong said, "Liwei saved me."

"Liwei?"

"The young man who came from the lower district with Judith."

"Oh... Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing," Liwei replied casually, his mind constantly thinking.

If possible, he still wanted to annihilate the enemies in front of him. They were all hunting points!
