Chapter Thirty-One: Prelude to War

  This is Purgatory!!!!!

  Innumerable blazing red lotus flowers bloomed quietly among the parked cars, which were exploding gasoline tanks! Each time they opened magnificently, they would take away a large number of fresh lives, throwing them into the air and ruthlessly tearing them apart before mercilessly slamming them down again. The scattered flames greedily devoured everything around that dared to get close, regardless of who it was; anyone who got splashed with even a little bit would be burned to ashes in a very short time.

  Rampant flames of destruction, steel debris everywhere, charred bodies resembling human organs, despairing screams all around. The terrifying scenes that exist in hell seem to have been turned into the real world...

  Xiao Bing's face was icy cold as he gazed at the scene before him, unmoved. Yet, in his eyes seemed to burn a flame that was even more scorching and intense than the fierce fire in front of him.

  He is now like a flame wrapped in cold ice, calm yet furious, cool yet passionate!

  He really wants to save them, really does!

  But it won't work.

  Why?

  Because there is someone here who is more worthy of saving than they are - Igor.

  He is his own life-and-death comrade, his most reliable backer. He is the one he wants to believe in most since coming into this world - a 'friend' no, deeper than friends! Closer than lovers! He - is his own brother!

  One can sacrifice more comrades and even one's own life for his sake!

  He bowed to those struggling Z comrades in the flames and whispered "

  Sorry...

  He picked up an ADK-45 assault rifle that someone had abandoned here, and the icy feeling brought by the steel as his fingertips touched it made Xiao Bing's eyes change in an instant.

  "Wait for me..."

  Opening his left eye, a dreadful crimson glow scattered out, stepping onto the Flame Road, Xiao Bing Jia once again stepped onto the battlefield.

  With his left hand, he casually shot and killed a panicked prison guard who was fumbling with the rifle bolt. With his right hand, he shot and killed the Red Army heavy machine gunner standing next to him, who had already taken aim. But that wasn't all - Tan Ya's body twisted at an odd angle, and then, in full view of everyone, he opened his legs wide and fired a shot into the crook of his own knee with the pistol.

  Bang!

  Uh...

  Metal pierced bone with a deafening crack, and in an instant another Red Army soldier trying to get close was blown away by Tanya's strange shooting. As for her marksmanship, Tanya Adams had absolute confidence. No one could escape the bullets of her Black Hawk pistol within 200 meters!

  He snatched a large bunch of keys from the jailer's belt and tossed them to Wyatt, who was standing beside him.

  "Let these poor captives and prisoners go." Looking at the many prisoners who were restless due to her arrival, Tan Ya smiled and said: "Look, these 'companions' are like kittens being locked up."

  Wyatt confirmed the keyhole, then quickly distributed the keys to them: Open the prison door, Wyatt also smiled and said "You can act freely now, my companions ~"

  "——Oh!!!"

  The roar of 500 people.

  The many prisoners locked up here by the Red Army let out a thunderous roar, among them were local hooligans and unlucky Allied soldiers who had been caught and brought here. In short, being ordered around by the Red Army every day to do various chores in this small place had already made the prisoners thoroughly fed up. Now that a group of people who looked very capable had come to rescue them, these prisoners who were already filled with resentment towards the Red Army immediately responded.

  "Alright, the download is complete and no one can stop your freedom now! Hurry up and escape, companions! Your mothers at home have even prepared apple pies for you." Tan Ya continued to tempt this group of simple-minded prisoners.

  ——Oh!!!!】The prisoners suddenly let out a loud roar, cursing and shouting dirty words, taking down all the tools that could be used as weapons from the prison, and rushing towards all directions with no fear of death, to all the places they considered their lifeline. And all of this was within Tan Ya's expectations.

  After rescuing the prisoner, Tan Ya didn't rush to leave. Instead, she said a sentence facing the empty cell: "You can come out now, Colonel Wen Lun."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a fairly straight figure emerged from the dark corner - Wen Lun, Fu Le.

  Wen Lun looked like he hadn't been subjected to any torture, his entire body still looking robust. With the support of the SWAT team members, he gave a barely passable military salute to Tan Ya, who had her arms crossed over her chest.

  "Thank you, Colonel Adams."

  "Never mind, let's not say more nonsense. Colonel, please leave here as soon as possible." Tan Ya added another sentence "Time is running out."

  "Uh, okay."

  The situation is becoming increasingly critical!

  When Xiaobing Jia searched near the prison cell, a large number of prisoners suddenly burst out from the prison cell.

  "Wait a minute... It seems like there's a connection between these events. The unexplained car explosion, the simultaneous explosions in multiple locations, and now the prison riot..."

  Connecting these bamboo-like events together, sorting them out, hypothesizing, and confirming... resulted in an answer that shocked Xiao Bing Jia - Rescue Wen Lun!!

  First create an explosion to attract our attention, then take the opportunity to attack the prison and rescue Wenlun, and then release all the prisoners in the prison to disperse our attention, can this greatly reduce the danger of rescuing hostages?

  What the hell are you doing?! This is something I captured at great cost! You bunch of trash actually dare to come and steal my 'prey'! Are you looking for death?! You bunch of weaklings with combat power of only 5!

  Xiao Bing Jia, furious in his heart, decided to stay and get rid of these invaders.

  Can't help but mention that the quality of the Red Army guards is still pretty good. Within 3 minutes of the prison alarm sounding, a steel monster marched to the prison gate with powerful strides. Without directly taking brutal force to destroy the gate and enter the prison area, its body agilely and frighteningly jumped over the 6-meter-high gate. Then, while falling, it 'accidentally' crushed several unlucky souls who didn't dodge in time.

  Reaper Mech!!!!

  The mechanical death god stained all over with blood and minced meat has appeared!

  The mechanical beast, dubbed "Death Scythe" on the battlefield, has reappeared in people's sight, and the originally rioting crowd was shocked to see three of these Death Scythes, causing a momentary confusion.

  Bang Bang Bang Bang

  Three 18mm Gatling guns fixed on the fuselage emitted a deadly roar!

  Tan Ya, who was sprinting forward, suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blowing past her ear, and the intense airwave sent her tumbling to the ground with a thud. As she quickly turned her head, she saw that the two assault soldiers following closely behind her had been beaten beyond recognition. One soldier's head had completely disappeared, while another soldier's right torso had also vanished into thin air.

  Tan Ya's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, what kind of machine gun is this, its power is actually so terrifying!?!

  【Rat-a-tat-tat……】In front of the position, the Red Army's terrible "machine gun" fired violently again. The dozen or so prisoners who were charging at the forefront suddenly fell down silently. Anyone hit by bullets either had their heads shattered or a huge hole blown through their chest or abdomen. How tragic was this death? Meanwhile, Wenlun, who was crouching on the ground and trying to shrink his body, was also shocked. This way of dying is too cruel!

  "Everyone get down! Get down now!" Tan Ya suddenly bellowed in a hoarse voice.

  But it was all in vain, the bullets that flew in at incredible speed tore through the crowd, leaving a trail of blood and screams, people who were shot had huge holes blown into their bodies, some were even torn in half, but despite this he still didn't die immediately, instead he crawled towards his severed lower body, wailing in agony as he tried to reattach it.

  The scythe mech, originally designed for urban warfare, is now showing its true power!

  Feeling the threat of death, the prisoners behind suddenly became chaotic. They fled in all directions in a state of panic.

  How can this be? I was still counting on them to be meat shields!

  Looking at the group of prisoners running around like headless chickens in front of her, Tan Ya let out a furious roar in her heart.

  He snatched an assault rifle from a nearby Navy SEAL.

  A submachine gun weighing up to 7 kilograms was picked up by Tan Ya like a toy with one hand, and then directly at the chaotic crowd. Tan Ya aimed at the driver who was operating the reaper mech on the reaper mech, massacring the crowd.

  The sound of footsteps

  "Ahhhhh!" A miserable scream, the driver of the sickle-shaped mech was instantly hit in the head by a hail of bullets, then his body went limp and slumped onto the control panel. The sickle-shaped mech, now without its driver, was like a maddened leopard, carrying the remaining two Red Army soldiers as it crashed head-on into the wall, and in a deafening explosion, the mech turned into a blazing ball of fire.

  "Finally..." Tan Ya let out a long sigh, this annoying thing had finally died.

  The monsters that were slaughtering everyone just a moment ago were suddenly taken down, and the prisoners, who had been extremely depressed until then, suddenly let out cheers. Then, shouting strange slogans and wielding various weapons in their hands, they once again charged towards the gate.

  Tan Ya's heart skipped a beat as she saw the steel-reinforced concrete gate being smashed open by the rioters. She made several hand gestures to the SWAT team members beside her.

  She nodded in response, then those commandos accelerated their speed thinking of the direction of the exit and ran away, while she herself was at the end of the team, running at the last one.

  And all of this was seen by Xiao Bing Jia who was hiding in the dark.

  "This woman is really familiar..." Xiaobing Jia thought to himself as he looked at the female commander, but he couldn't quite recall where he had seen her before.

  Forget it, I'll just follow along then. If it's like that, then let her take Wen Ren away, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?

  Xiao Bing Jia then took a deserted alley that no one noticed and quietly followed them, planning to find an opportunity to get rid of those people.

  Just as Tan Ya and his group finally rushed out of the base and arrived at a small forest not far from the base, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

  "Damn it! Didn't they say our reinforcements were waiting here?! Have all the people gone to see Jesus?!" Tan Ya glared at the empty destination, cursing as she couldn't help but raise her middle finger.

  "Maybe something went wrong on the way for the reinforcements?" Wen Lun made a not-so-good guess. "Or perhaps we should go search around again? See if there's any kind of mark or something..."

  Bang, bang, bang! - In the originally quiet forest, a sudden gunshot rang out. At the moment of the gunshot, a hapless assault team member next to Tan Ya was instantly shot in the head by a speeding bullet, splashing red and white matter all over Tan Ya's face.

  "Be on the lookout! Enemy troops!" Tan Ya shouted loudly to her subordinates, not even bothering to wipe her face. Then she quickly fired three shots in a row towards the distant place where the gunshots had just come from.

  BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

  *Boom boom boom!!*

  Both sides opened fire again at the same time.

  Mind operation.

  Two Soul Shocks

  Three major areas of transparency.

  (Is that unknown protagonist halo-like near-death explosive breed considered a kind of ability?... Wow, I feel like the more I write, the more chaotic it becomes...)
