Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 204 - 78: If You Can See It, You Can Kill It - Part 2

Chapter 204: Chapter 78: If You Can See It, You Can Kill It - Part 2

Shen Yue immediately determined the nature of the spheres, and as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of spore clusters came crashing down.

"Bang!"

Juice, mucus, and countless spores splattered everywhere. The imaging module on the helmet quickly adjusted its focus, and after a quick scan, Shen Yue spoke:

"The composition should be similar to the fungal mat, but it contains a large amount of acidic liquid with protease!"

"Be careful not to get hit! If this thing lands on you, it won’t be as simple as splashing drops!"

"Understood! Drone, calculate ballistic trajectories and preemptively avoid them!"

"Received!"

In an instant, two drones simultaneously lowered their altitude and moved to the sides. When the second round of "spitting" from the monster occurred, several danger zones were quickly marked on the flat map.

"Brake, brake!"

Chen Jian shouted, and the two vehicles stopped in response.

Soon after, several spore clusters crashed down less than 100 meters ahead of the two vehicles.

The flying debris brought more toxic gas. Chen Jian decisively said:

"Put on your respirators, get ready to retreat!"

"First, get out of the danger zone! With our firepower, we can’t inflict substantial damage to it!"

"We need artillery!"

"Keep the drone tracking, don’t lose sight of the monster!"

"Understood!"

The orders were given, and the team’s actions became instantly organized.

"1.2 kilometers to the No. 1 evacuation point! Arrival in 3 minutes!"

"Received! Continue suppressing the fungus people!"

"Understood!"

The two vehicles quickly traversed the fungal mat in a single column formation. Chen Jian and Ji Xing continuously fired, eliminating all the fungus people trying to surround them from within a hundred-meter range.

As the gunfire intensified, the fungus people finally showed some signs of fear.

But just as Chen Jian and his team were about to break through, a new monster suddenly appeared in his sight.

Over four meters in length, its body had arthropod features with six pairs of long bladed limbs at the ends. Its thoracic armor was trapezoidal and raised, covered with layered fungal armor plates, resembling ancient armored generals in legends.

"Watch out!"

Ji Xing immediately turned his gun barrel, urgently saying:

"This is a Level 4 Monster! It’s fast! Don’t let it get close..."

"Boom!"

The rocket launcher on Chen Jian’s shoulder mount fired in response, and the explosive shell hit the so-called "Level 4 Monster" within a hundred meters, blowing it to pieces.

What Level 4 Monster?

Just a target!

Thick liquid splattered from the sky, and as it hit the ground, the two vehicles dashed past.

"600 meters to go. Upon reaching the No. 1 evacuation point, flank to the east and retreat using the Zijin Mountain baseline to block the monster’s pursuit!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jian’s command speed increased, and so did the frequency, but thanks to the intelligent goggles’ efficient information sharing, the squad of eight moved without any confusion.

"The gas concentration has reached a lethal level!"

"Hydrogen cyanide concentration over 50ppm! Check your respirators! Cover exposed skin, don’t expose anything!"

"Received!"

The team responded again, and by this time, the diffused haze had almost completely enveloped them.

Even the afternoon sunlight could no longer penetrate the fog; darkness engulfed the surroundings.

The vehicle lights were turned on but could only illuminate less than ten meters ahead.

Fortunately, the thermal imaging was working properly, allowing the two drivers to clearly see the road ahead.

The roar of the engine echoed loudly in the silent ruins. Monsters and fungus people kept chasing, and Chen Jian used the vehicle-mounted automatic grenade launcher to open a path ahead at any cost.

But the darkness seemed endless.

Chen Jian finally understood why the Mechanical God Sect and the Holy Blood Temple classified this monster as "Level 2."

Given their abilities and this monster’s attack methods, defeating it indeed required a significant cost.

The toxic fog goes without saying; if the dense formation of the Church Protection Army of the Mechanical God Sect got hit by one spore, they could just pack up and go home for a feast!

The protease is no joke. Small amounts won’t cause much trouble, but a full-body shower could strip your skin off in minutes!

And with the fog obscuring visibility, once inside, they’d only be at the mercy of the fungus people...

Long-range strikes are the only means.

Moreover, it needs to be intense, saturated long-range strikes!

Chen Jian already had a plan, so he had no mental burden about the decision to retreat.

He just hoped it could be a little quicker.

And after turning from the No. 1 evacuation point for two minutes, the fog finally began to thin.

The sun overhead reappeared, and after a quick observation of the location, Chen Jian ordered:

"Lei Jie, fire another round of Rocket Shells in salvo!"

"Attract the attention of that Second-level Monster, don’t let it keep chasing us!"

"We need to shake it off as much as possible and get back to 095!"

"Understood!"

Lei Jie decisively jumped out of the vehicle, and the last three Rocket Shells were fired.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three muffled explosions echoed from a distance, and this time, the three shells almost landed on the same spot.

From the drone’s perspective, Chen Jian was pleasantly surprised to see a small crack finally opened on the monster’s layered armor.

"Its thickness is less than three meters, it can be penetrated if precise enough!"

"Two cannons are enough. If you alternate fire within a 20-meter spread, it’s enough to pierce its armor!"

"Shen Yue, puncture the oil barrel and spill some gasoline in a circle and ignite it!"

"These fungi should have thermal sensing abilities; we need to make them lose their target!"

"Understood!"

Shen Yue quickly took action, and as the fire began to blaze, Chen Jian noticed the pressure of the pursuit was noticeably easing.

After moving forward several hundred meters, Chen Jian shattered the last fungus person with his explosive gun.

By then, they had completely left the fog zone, putting 11 kilometers between them and the monster.

Safe.

Chen Jian let out a long breath, then said:

"This thing is no joke..."

"But thankfully, once we find it, we can take it down."

"Its maximum attack range is only two kilometers."

"We are far beyond that!"

....

Elsewhere, just as the Huaxia Army’s team of eight barely escaped the Second-level Monster’s pursuit, ten Holy Temple Guard brigades from the Mechanical God Sect were crossing the Yangtze River, setting up their combat formations on the riverbank.

The Archbishop, serving as the overall commander, observed the distant scene with a telescope. When he saw the artillery ceasefire and the monster’s emitted blood mist gradually dissipating, a slight mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Subsequently, he handed the telescope to the priest beside him and spoke with a disdainful tone:

"Indeed, the style of those Mimic Heretics."

"They actually thought a small number of people could kill a Second-level Monster. I don’t know whether to call them foolish or bold."

"However, it seems they’ve already paid the price."

"With such thick toxic fog, no matter what means they have, it’s impossible they remain unaffected."

"Perhaps, they’re already poisoned and won’t live much longer."

"That’s good news for us... These Mimic Heretics will pay for their arrogance."

"Indeed."

The priest beside him nodded and complimented,

"In terms of tactics, they can’t compare to the Archbishop."

"No, their tactics are strong."

The Archbishop shook his head and then said:

"However, warriors without faith can never achieve true victory."

"Only the light of the Holy Trinity can dispel the evil on this land."

"Alright, the time is almost up."

"While they have the monster’s attention, let our warriors take action."

"Form up, raise the cannons."

"Chant the holy hymn!"

"Yes, sir!"

A moment later, the holy hymn began to play.

"Gears inscribe the holy circumference, the steel veins pulsate as before (as before!)

Sacrificial oil injected into the valve, the cast iron womb births redemption (redemption!)

Let the heretics hear our roar, let the bullets tear through their lungs.

The pressure gauge is the holy eye, the mercury column measures the sins (sins!)

....

And with this hymn, all the cannons of the Guard Brigade were already aimed at the monster’s location...
