Chapter 55: Smoke and Fog Assault (First Update)

  A piercing alarm sounded throughout the small town of Bath, not just on the street where Xu Ming had just broken through, but also on many other streets, accompanied by strange explosion sounds.

  A personnel loss report was delivered to Luke's desk, which included a death toll that was staggering.

  More than three hundred people!

  Luc almost smashed the cup in his hand on the face of the person delivering the report, damn it! Over three hundred people? How many more? Three hundred and ninety-nine is also over three hundred people, can't even count the corpses?!

  Until the person who sent the report trembled and said that after they killed one person, a violent explosion suddenly occurred. Not to mention an intact corpse, not even two complete hands and feet were left, how could they be counted?

  When Luke heard this, he was drenched in sweat. The bomb that killed more than 300 people with one blast wasn't something he hadn't seen before, but it could make these old soldiers slippery, and they couldn't even dodge in time. It can be seen that the bomb is very small, probably smaller than a hand grenade.

  Only small in volume and unobtrusive can produce such unexpected results. Another point is that there is no seal, and the trigger time is short.

  Luc couldn't think of what kind of bomb this was no matter how hard he racked his brains.

  Before he could even think, several explosions suddenly rang out in the city again. Luke's face turned white instantly. The explosion sounds were so clear that even he could hear them, indicating that they were already very close.

  "Luc gritted his teeth, slammed the table and almost shouted: 'Order to shrink the encirclement circle, concentrate on defense, drag it with fortifications until dawn, then seal off the whole city.'"

  "Are you stupid?"

  At the sound of this voice, Luke's back immediately became drenched with sweat and his head hung low in fear.

  Qu Qi's mood seemed to be good, his face was rosy and radiant. His ten fingers were painted with red nail polish at some point, matching his fair skin, full of charm.

  But looking at the whole person can make one vomit for two or three days.

  Cookie looked at the death statistics with interest and said to Luke in a light tone, "If you gather all the people together, are you planning to be wiped out by others?"

  Lu Xiang was sweating profusely and explained in his mouth: "How dare I...I just..."

  Qu Qi's mouth corners slightly raised, saying with disdain: "It's just a few little brats sneaking in, relying on their slightly stronger weapons. Do you need to be so tense? If you gather all your people together, that would play right into their hands. All they'd need is to use those high-explosive cluster bombs and toss a few into your fortifications..."

  Luc's cold sweat burst forth, his whole body as if washed with water.

  "Is there a battle where no one dies? Since we've already figured out their approximate location, just slowly close in and surround them. Elke is trying to intercept their latest position, you should know what to do?"

  "Even a few half-grown kids can't be killed by you, has your position as the commander of this division been misplaced?"

  Lucas's waist straightened instantly, his chest thumping loudly, and he yelled as he quickly took them down.

  "Puff" "Whoosh"

  A gunshot and a crossbow almost rang out at the same time, and two terrorists fell down following the sound.

  Although this street is relatively deserted, Xu Ming and his group dare not relax their vigilance. The guards here are sparse to the point of being excessive.

  "Glen, be careful in the past."

  Glen swiftly emerged from the corner and proceeded along the wall edge.

  Suddenly a huge spotlight shone over, and the entire street was as bright as daylight. Gren's body was completely exposed under the light.

  "Bad! Glenn, get down!"

  Glen also knew it was no good and quickly rolled down, his body rolling once before hiding behind a wall.

  Bang Bang

  The bullets rained down like a sieve, hitting the spot where Gren had just been, leaving behind a string of bullet holes.

  The originally quiet street suddenly became lively, with more than 40 people rushing out of the street, shooting while walking.

  The spotlight seemed to be deliberately aimed at this street, shining steadily without moving, and everything was exposed.

  "Cover! Machine gun cover!"

  Caruso rushed to the defensive fortifications on the street, set up a heavy machine gun and swept it at the crowd. Xu Ming's eyes were fixed on the high-rise buildings around him, with only one anomaly, a sniper rifle.

  As expected, there were snipers. In less than 6 seconds, Xu Ming fired five shots and took out three snipers.

  Until two more civilian houses suddenly burst into flames, Caruso was forced to crawl into the bunker and didn't dare come out. The suppression of the two heavy machine guns even forced Xu Ming to change positions several times.

  "Boss, their people are starting to charge forward again. Gren is being suppressed and can't move. If this continues, it might be dangerous." TsuPuo's voice came from beside his ear.

  Xu Mingyizhēn fā hěn, yǎo zhe yá dà hǒu shuō: "Suǒ yǒu rén! Yān wù dàn zhǔnbèi."

  Translation:

  "Everyone! Smoke bombs ready!"

  The smoke bomb was extremely limited, with only two per person. Xu Ming had planned to save them for the final desperate moment, but didn't expect to fall into such a predicament so soon. Forget it, can't afford to be stingy when fighting against wolves.

  Six smoke bombs were thrown from different directions.

  Those terrorists thought they were hand grenades and fell to the ground. Six smoke bombs quickly rose with colorful smoke, instantly covering the streets, even strong light couldn't see the scene in the smoke.

  "Want to run?" A military officer-like big man rushed out from the corner of the street, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, shouting loudly: "Smoke bomb, don't be afraid! Rush through the smoke for me, and don't let one go."

  He finished speaking and opened fire into the smoke first. A group of terrorists dispersed in a row, advancing while sweeping shots, as if to break through the smokescreen.

  Xu Ming directed the others to change positions again and threw out a second smoke bomb.

  This time six smoke bombs were all thrown into their crowd, instantly engulfing their own people.

  The sound of gunfire suddenly became chaotic, and from time to time, miserable cries were heard, apparently stray bullets had injured their own people.

  "Nobody fire, prepare for close combat, advance quickly."

  The officer remained calm in the midst of the smoke, not worried at all, because there were still their people in the hidden fort above, and as long as he could hold them off, reinforcements would soon surround them, and they would be unable to escape.

  Xu Ming calmly watched the battlefield, and that group of terrorists actually still tried to rush over in the smoke, really like a rat falling into a trap.

  He pulled out a smoke bomb, and Xu Ming let out a cold hum. Didn't you all know that there was still a smoke bomb? There's at least ten seconds of time, enough for us to make a round trip.

  It's not that these terrorists are to blame, they're all military, and there's almost no use of smoke bombs on the battlefield. After all, smoke bombs will disperse with a gust of wind, and are basically useless in large battles. They also know about smoke bombs, but really have no idea what smoke mirrors are.

  "Close combat, someone's coming! Move quickly!"

  Xu Ming almost shouted, grabbed a dagger and rushed into the smoke first.

  The computer was fixed yesterday, and I finally don't have to run to the internet cafe to type. By the way, there's a small recommendation, okay, I'm finally saying goodbye to running naked, shamelessly asking for collection! Recommendation! Reward!
