Chapter 1 Missile Coverage

"Missile coverage!"

Missile vehicles in the Star-Dragon阵地 (zhèn dì, defensive position) launched dense arrays of rockets, head-on against the Germination convoy. The rapidly approaching missiles emitted sharp whistles, the sense of oppression escalating with the closing distance.

However, Ugar was not flustered at all. He ordered the convoy to converge. The leading dozen vehicles were chariots equipped with multi-barreled machine guns, serving as an interception formation. Due to the concentrated formation, the impact area was reduced, and the machine gun array spewing a barrage destroyed the missiles within range, forming a vacuum zone within the missile coverage, rushing through the blast waves, like a warship steadily sailing in a stormy sea.

Huang Qiuming's eyes narrowed.

He had just received news that the battle on the Taimira River had entered a feverish stage. The people in the strategic department had made preliminary estimates of several possible landing points for the Germination amphibious forces. The strategic department asked him to activate the second contingency plan. The plan was changed. Huang Qiuming ordered adjustments to the deployment, leaving a slight gap in the blockade.

At this moment, Jiang Yuluo, along with the two enervated individuals, used the excuse of transporting supplies to reach the front-line troops. A large number of regular soldiers had already gathered here, fully armed and ready to go. The armored vehicle engines roared, and elite soldiers stood by.

"How do we interfere in the battle? Do you have any ideas?" Mingyue Changzhong asked helplessly.

Jiang Yuluo frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then nodded seriously, "I don't know."

Then why did you nod! Mingyue Changzhong wished he could bang his head against the ground.

Flash Fried Rice suddenly pointed to the distant battlefield and exclaimed, "Someone's rushing over! Holy crap, that's a high-level character!"

The other two followed his finger and saw a burly man, leading a group of fully armed warriors, riding heavily armed motorcycles and breaking away from the convoy, charging at high speed toward the阵地 (zhèn dì, defensive position), dodging artillery fire with various evasive maneuvers.

...

Mihokes drove his heavily armed motorcycle, dodging a series of attacks, but triggered a bouncing mine. The motorcycle was blown over, so he ran on foot, his speed no less than that of the motorcycle, traversing a hail of bullets. A military briefcase was tucked under his arm, containing a single-soldier bomb with immense power. His mission was to deliver this bomb to the Star-Dragon阵地 (zhèn dì, defensive position).

In large-scale frontal battles, Supers usually play the role of assault troops. Mihokes saw a team of elite troops with a resolute aura rushing over from afar, specifically to intercept them.

His expression was blank. He gathered all his strength, preparing to erupt the moment contact was made.

However, an extremely dangerous intuition suddenly arose in Mihokes' heart. He stomped his legs and hurriedly turned, reacting very quickly.

But it wasn't fast enough!

A flechette bullet dragging blue light pierced Mihokes' neck from the side, exploding into a cloud of blood mist. Mihokes suffered a severe blow and roared, spraying blood from his mouth. There were no barriers on the plain terrain. He could only continue to rush forward, but the serious injury slowed Mihokes down.

A martial artist charging through artillery fire was actually seriously injured by a single shot!

Huang Qiuming was taken aback.

"That's not one of our people. Who's the sniper?!"

He remembered the suspicious target detected by the radar before and suddenly felt that this shot seemed a bit familiar. After thinking for two seconds, his eyes widened suddenly.

The monster-level sniper who could seriously injure a strong person with a single shot seemed to be the Black Phantom who had been active in the underground world recently!

The bullet had a blue light. It was almost certainly him!

What was he doing here? Why was he helping them?

"Commander, what do we do?" the adjutant asked.

Huang Qiuming made a decision and said decisively, "He doesn't seem to be an enemy. Ignore him and focus on blocking Germination."

Snipers have limited lethality in this kind of frontal battlefield, but monster snipers like the Black Phantom are naturally an exception.

Although he didn't know why the Black Phantom was lending a hand, there was no doubt that he was a strong reinforcement!

...

On the Germination side, Ugar's eyes were burning with anger.

"Seriously injured Mihokes with one shot, the Black Phantom! Not long ago, he intercepted Freire's troops. This kind of monster actually joined the battle. Star-Dragon must have hired outside help!"

Thinking of the Black Phantom's battle record circulating on the dark web, Ugar felt a strong sense of pressure. That was a monster known as the "Super Killer." He was too threatening. Even though Ugar was stronger than Mihokes, he was unwilling to personally test the Black Phantom's power.

Ugar mistakenly thought that Han Xiao was a helper hired by Star-Dragon and was very annoyed. He decisively shouted, "Third team, go kill the sniper. Take those experimental subjects with you, at least to contain him!"

An armed convoy deviated from the main force and rushed toward Han Xiao's position.

...

[You dealt 1297 points of true damage to Mihokes (Lv40)!]

[You dealt a severe injury to Mihokes]

[Mihokes has entered a weakened state, all attributes reduced by 50% for ten seconds]

"This guy's pretty tough," Han Xiao thought in surprise. The theoretical damage of this shot reached 1.6k, but it was reduced by three hundred points. The physical fitness of martial artists could not be measured by common sense. Bai Jin at level 48 was brought to his knees with one shot. Martial artists were indeed very durable.

This time, 【Will Burning】was unlucky, only with 148% bonus, but the Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle had been better enhanced, and various shooting skills were maxed out. The experience of two months was not wasted. Unable to level up, Han Xiao used all the experience he saved to improve his skills. Specializations, skills, and equipment were the key factors affecting combat effectiveness!

After firing the first shot, Han Xiao triggered a new mission.

[【Taimira River Battle (Intervention)】: You have interfered in the war between Star-Dragon and Haixia against the Germination. Now that you have chosen a camp, let’s see what you can do.]

This was a C-level mission. The mission requirement was to intercept the Germination forces as much as possible and disrupt their withdrawal plan. The rewards would be given in the form of mission evaluation.

"The experience is estimated to be no less than 300,000." It was a good thing to join the fun and earn a considerable amount of experience at the same time. Han Xiao was very satisfied.

He sniped at Mihokes one shot after another. In the end, Mihokes didn't dodge the dense rocket barrage, and the flames devoured his furious and unwilling face.

A martial artist who was even more powerful than Pan Kuang had fallen.

"Martial arts are great for one-on-one combat. To withstand an army, even a low-tech civilization, you need at least half of Bennett's strength," Han Xiao thought secretly.

The martial arts system is a master of Qi (气) force. Everyone has more or less personal heroism in their hearts. Martial arts use the flesh to fight, which gives them a special sense of fulfillment, making them feel that the power comes from themselves and can be used at any time, which is very cool.

However, although the martial arts system has distinct characteristics and runs through everything, if you want to withstand an army, you must accumulate quantitative changes to qualitative changes. The C-level is a watershed, and it is also the upper limit level for players in version 1.0.

Back to the main topic.

The threat of the sniper made the assault troops hesitant, and they were quickly entangled by the responding Star-Dragon troops. The突击 (tū jī, assault) plan failed without even making a splash due to Han Xiao's intervention.

At this time, he found a team of chariots breaking away from the Germination forces and rushing over from a distance, so he shifted his focus and intercepted these enemies. He switched to the Red Falcon sniper rifle and used various types of ammunition in turn. Thinking that Star-Dragon was also on the battlefield, Han Xiao specifically did not use high-explosive ammunition.

Sniper rifles have limited damage to armored vehicles. Bulletproof glass can block several shots. Quickly approaching within four hundred meters, Han Xiao immediately activated the deployed folding turret.

Three hundred meters in front of the convoy, four buried disc bases unfolded, turning into small multi-barreled machine guns, forming a triangular guard around the hill where Han Xiao was located. They spat out hot steel, the gun flames incessant, dazzling and piercing. Several vehicles were directly penetrated and blown up by the dense artillery fire. The remaining people hurriedly dispersed and counterattacked the turrets.

Once the formation was dispersed, the suppressive power of the turrets decreased significantly because it was necessary to turn and aim, and there were easily gaps in the firepower.

The turrets were not known for their defense. Even though Han Xiao used Tai Bo (泰铂) alloy as armor, two turrets were damaged after being targeted for a few seconds. But the results were very gratifying. Most of the vehicles were penetrated by the turrets, curbing the enemy's momentum.

At this moment, this convoy suddenly made an unexpected move. An armored vehicle opened its rear door, and three humanoid creatures jumped out of the vehicle and ran towards the turret, their speed even faster than the vehicle. The strange appearance of the three immediately made the nearby Kuangdao Nujian (狂刀怒剑) gasp.

"What kind of monster is that?" Kuangdao Nujian wanted to throw a detection spell, but was told that the distance was not enough.

These three were burly, their faces indifferent as if devoid of emotion. A large number of metal exoskeleton components were embedded in their bodies, distributed along their arms, legs, and spinal bones. These components were integrated into the human bones and joints, such as the mechanical leg ends embedded in the pelvic bone and knees. As the three ran, the fixing screws at the integration points would seep blood. It was conceivable that every movement would cause pain, but the three always had no extra expression, as if they had no sense of pain.

Moreover, a thin layer of armor was embedded on the exposed skin, as if a carapace had grown.

Han Xiao recognized what these three things were at a glance.
