Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 282 - 122: Killing Them All is Infiltration too

At 3:05, the team of six set off in an anti-ambush armored vehicle.

At 3:45, upon reaching 20 kilometers from Huadu City, about to enter a mountainous area without reliable paved roads, the six disembarked with their weapons and continued on foot towards Huadu City.

At 4:25, the six reached the outskirts of Huadu City and began to circle around Old Monarch Cliff where the palace was located, closing in on the palace.

At 4:30, Chen Jian led the team to start climbing the mountain.

"Lower the drone’s altitude and organize intermittent electromagnetic suppression."

"Don’t let the guards notice anything unusual. Focus on disrupting communications first. If anomalies are detected, temporarily lift the suppression."

"Xie Liu, Ji Xing, circle around to the north and south sides. Pay close attention to the main route leading from Huadu downtown to the palace on the north side."

"Li Shi, stay behind to cover. If the infiltration fails, you’re responsible for helping us retreat."

"If any anomaly is detected, dispose of it in a timely manner as per the War Skull’s guidance."

"Remember, don’t shoot! And don’t give them the chance to fire either!"

"Understood."

"Roger that."

Chen Jian issued the orders, and Xie Liu and the others immediately responded, then left the team one on each side, spreading out for surveillance as Chen Jian instructed.

Their figures disappeared into the darkness, and Chen Jian turned around to look at Xu He, intending to tighten the rope tied around Xu He’s mouth, only to be startled to find that at some point, Xu He had bitten through the rope, spitting it out along with a mouthful of blood-stained saliva.

Just as he was about to lift his gun, Xu He raised his hand.

"I’ll go in with you! I won’t say a word!"

"I promise I won’t speak even a single word!"

Xu He’s expression was quite earnest, and Chen Jian keenly noticed that his expression had become much more "normal" compared to before.

Perhaps being close enough to his target had restored some of his sanity?

Chen Jian paused slightly, then decisively said:

"You can go in, but think it through. This matter also involves you!"

"Don’t cause trouble for everyone!"

Xu He nodded firmly, and Chen Jian looked up to see that their current position was less than two hundred meters from the palace above.

The gray-white walls of the palace stood towering on the sheer cliff.

Originally an insurmountable natural barrier, for the few Holy Blood members and Chen Jian in his exoskeleton, it was only a slightly challenging task.

With motors and hydraulic systems running at full speed, Chen Jian launched himself onto a protruding cliff edge. Upon landing, the hydraulic system compressed to absorb the impact with precision, making his steps incredibly light.

He didn’t make a single sound that could alert anyone, while any loose stones that might fall were caught by Xu He below with astonishing speed.

Chen Jian looked down to see Xu He grinning exaggeratedly in greeting before carefully placing the stone on the ground.

This guy was truly clear-headed now.

Chen Jian continued upward, reaching the palace wall five minutes later.

At that moment, through the drone’s view, he saw a squad of six guards approaching the wall from a distance.

"Attention, target one is approaching the dead zone."

"Countdown to decision position 15, 14, 13..."

Over his earpiece came the countdown from War Skull, and Chen Jian turned to signal with hand gestures, Lei Jie and Xu He immediately followed.

"8, 7, 6..."

"Final decision, final decision..."

As the voice sounded, Chen Jian sprang off the ground, rising tall.

Simultaneously, Lei Jie and Xu He leapt onto the wall, then descended with flawlessly fluid movements.

"Knives!"

Chen Jian uttered the brief order, and the three simultaneously drew their daggers, rushing towards the three guards facing away and completely unaware of them.

Chen Jian grasped his dagger, thrusting the blade through one guard’s spine. With a light twist, he swiftly withdrew the knife, switching from his right hand to his left, and pierced another’s neck from the side.

Blood spurted immediately, and Chen Jian released the handle, his left hand passing under the target’s armpit to grasp his chest, gently lowering the first target who had gone limp to the ground while retreating.

Meanwhile, Lei Jie and Xu He each completed their kills.

This sequence of actions flowed seamlessly, each step appearing meticulously designed.

From the movement of their steps to the timing of the switch from knife to hand and the trajectory of their arm movements, it all demonstrated a machine-like precision.

The enemy pierced through the throat hadn’t died immediately but had their chest squeezed, forcing a flood of blood from their throat, completely drowning their labored breathing.

The noise reduced to a minimum, the six fell silently to the ground in the blind spot of other guards’ view.

Without a pause, Chen Jian drew his already loaded pistol from the holster, while Lei Jie gripped his silenced submachine gun.

Chen Jian made several hand gestures, signaling Lei Jie to control the attack positions marked by War Skull, while Xu He was left behind to handle a very important but simple task:

Hide the bodies and eliminate any approaching enemies.

This was undoubtedly a waste of the combat power of such a formidable Blood Source, but without smooth coordination, Chen Jian opted to leave him there rather than risk taking him along.

Xu He seemed somewhat puzzled by this, but recalling his promise to Chen Jian, he eventually nodded obediently.

Chen Jian looked at the drone’s display, at this point, Xie Liu and Ji Xing had completed the attack, all the guards in the dead zone had been eliminated.
