Firearms have always been the mainstream weapons on modern battlefields.
Everyone present was an elite. This time, in order to cooperate with Adam's organization's operation plan, they had gone to great lengths to sneak across the border and bring in quite a number of heavy weapons.
In an instant, no one knew how many bullets had been fired over.
The sound of bullets whistling filled the surroundings!
Someone even took out a rocket launcher and prepared to load it, determined to use the strongest firepower to bomb Zhang Zhaoyang to death.
Facing such powerful firepower, even wearing a bulletproof vest, Zhang Zhaoyang would not dare to resist head-on, no matter how fiercely he had cultivated the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong.
Before the Opposite Side's order had even been given, he had already moved. The White Mist accumulated within his body and never previously used was rapidly consumed at this moment, and a speed reaching 180 km/h instantly exploded forth. He quickly retreated into the night, curling his body tightly together and hiding behind a massive Rock.
“Keep firing! Don’t stop!”
The foreign combat personnel in the Camp did not stop their hands for even a moment. They continued launching Attacks, while some took shelter inside the defensive fortifications they had built, preparing to defend their position.
Zhang Zhaoyang, hiding behind the huge Rock, was also gasping repeatedly.
Killing people barehanded was different. With his current Strength, even ten more Adams would be dealt with by him in one blow each. The Superhuman Serum was not worth mentioning before the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong. The gap in Strength was simply too great; there were at least several generations of difference between them.
But bullets and firearms were different.
His body might have no problem facing a Pistol, but it was still not enough to withstand a rifle. Even if he fully Exploded the White Mist and used it to greatly strengthen his body, it would be useless.
The tremendous kinetic Energy brought by a bullet the instant it left the chamber could still penetrate unprotected Flesh and Blood. At most, his injuries would be lighter, so that taking one shot would not leave a bloody hole.
As for Weapons such as Grenades and rocket launchers, he could forget about them altogether.
Even the White Mist's enhancement was completely useless. At close range, he would definitely die cleanly and efficiently; he could only rely on high-speed movement to evade them.
Facing the rain of bullets just now, he could only flee rapidly. Even so, under the hail of bullets, he had still been hit several times.
“Are you all right, Zhang Zhaoyang?”
Kong Ji's voice came through the walkie-talkie he carried.
Zhang Zhaoyang dug more than a dozen bullets out of his Physical Body, exposing several holes oozing threads of blood, and grimaced as he said, “Hundreds of guns fired at you. Would you be all right?”
In the distance, Kong Ji watched the situation through night-vision binoculars and could not help smiling. “Who told you to be so hard-headed and insist on charging into the formation alone?”
Zhang Zhaoyang said irritably, “After finally Cultivating the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong to completion, am I not allowed to test its power?”
Kong Ji smiled. “How was the test?”
“Its power is pretty good. At least it won’t kill me when blocking bullets.” Zhang Zhaoyang grinned, then urged him, “The Opposite Side is attacking. Hurry and have Old Dong launch the Attack. If you’re any later, I might really die.”
After saying that.
Zhang Zhaoyang directly pulled two six-barreled Gatling guns, prepared long ago, from behind the huge Rock. Holding one in each hand, he wielded both at once. Without even sticking out his Head to look, he raised both hands, ignored the recoil, and extended the Gatling barrels beyond the Stone, firing wildly as if he were holding two Pistols.
In an instant, the clattering sound of shell casings jumping rang out without end, and bullets tore across the battlefield.
His firepower alone was comparable to that of an entire company. He was simply an unmatched weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield!
In the distance.
Kong Ji lowered the walkie-talkie.
There was no need for him to remind anyone. Dong Dingguo had arranged the Attack long ago. Before setting out, he had specifically instructed Kong Ji not to charge to the front of the battlefield. Scientific Research personnel should Honestly stay in the rear and watch the show; matters of War were to be left to them.
Kong Ji naturally complied.
He had come along this time not only to personally Witness Modern War, but also to gain an understanding of Zhang Zhaoyang’s actual combat ability.
“It’s normal that Zhang Zhaoyang can’t withstand bullets. His current Strength isn’t powerful enough. If it were me, I should have no problem.”
“My Strength is not only a hundred times greater than his, but my endurance is also longer, and my enhancement is greater. I can even release Energy externally.”
“As long as there is an ample supply of White Mist, unless the Opposite Side has a heavy Sniper Rifle, ordinary rifles and Pistols basically pose no threat.”
“I can even Resist head-on against Rocket launchers and Grenades several times.”
“The only limiting factor is the White Mist. After leaving its coverage range, Consumption is too great. Facing a Hail of Bullets, I might not be able to hold out for long either.”
“Unless I’m within the White Mist’s coverage range. Then it can be replenished rapidly. It would be an exaggeration to say bullets are nothing to me, but as long as the Opposite Side doesn’t deploy heavy Weapons, there is basically no great danger.”
After a round of thought and comparison, Kong Ji gained a clearer understanding of his own combat Strength.
Without the White Mist’s enhancement, he was still a body of Flesh and Blood. Even though his physical qualities had been greatly strengthened, Firearms and bullets could still pose a threat, and a shot to a vital area would still kill him instantly.
But if there was an ample supply of White Mist.
Then as long as he was not facing a Sniper Rifle or other heavy Weapons, he could basically be considered unharmed.
“I finally have a certain ability to protect myself. I won’t be killed easily anymore.”
Kong Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart relaxed considerably.
After all, this was the twenty-first century. No matter how powerful the White Mist was, the World was still dominated by Modern Weapons.
Therefore, ever since he had been assigned to the Investigation Bureau, an institution destined to be inseparable from future conflicts, he had always worried about being dragged into them. He would certainly have to face guns and cannons in the future, and deep down, he had felt a great sense of urgency, believing that his personal safety was under threat.
Until today, he had finally gotten rid of this source of anxiety.
“Whenever Cultivation is discussed, it is always inseparable from the division of levels. If actual combat Strength were divided according to Weapons, Captain Dong and the others could probably only be considered to have just entered the Bow and arrow level. Zhang Zhaoyang could be considered Pistol level, while I can be considered to have reached the peak of rifle level.”
“It’s just that this classification feels rather strange. It doesn’t sound very good.”
After inexplicably mulling this over in his Head, Kong Ji gathered his thoughts.
By this time, the night-vision binoculars were no longer needed. Firelight flashed across the distant battlefield, explosions erupted chaotically, and signal flares rose one after another. Everything could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
The terror of a Modern battlefield was also fully revealed at this moment.
The Drones went up first to sweep the area, followed by all kinds of howitzers, Armored Vehicles, and Rocket launchers. Several rounds of saturation bombardment came first, and only afterward did the Soldiers advance to finish off the survivors.
In the incomparably vast grassland, no matter how brave the people on the Opposite Side were, they could only await death amid the endless bombardment. It was impossible for them to withstand it.
It was impossible to understand what this group had been thinking. They had actually taken the initiative to come to a place like the grassland.
If they had stayed in the Town and fought an urban battle, the Kunlun Base would not have had such an easy time. By staying in the open grassland, they were exposed to the indiscriminate bombardment of all kinds of Weapons. There was no need for restraint; they could simply bomb them to death.
Their own casualties were Pitifully few.
One could only say that their way of thinking was bizarre and difficult to understand.
That night.
The sound of gunfire continued for a long time. It was extremely dense at first, but as time passed, the scattered gunshots of the counterattack grew increasingly sparse.
It was not until the first light appeared on the horizon that the gunfire completely disappeared.
Kong Ji waited throughout the night.
He finally saw Dong Dingguo and Zhang Zhaoyang return together, with several dozen Captives being escorted behind them.
The two men led the way, both wearing smiles, their bodies reeking of Gunpowder Smoke.
“You’re back?”
“Mm.”
Upon seeing Kong Ji, Zhang Zhaoyang gave a sly grin, reached over to take a silver-white case from a nearby Soldier, and handed it to him.
“A gift for you.”
