Chapter 155: One Word to Defeat the Enemy
The flames devoured the wreckage of the car, and thick smoke rose into the sky, blackening the fresh and clean white mist between the mountains and forests.
A tall and thin man stood between the smoke and the flames, looking gloomily at Li Qing and others who were dozens of meters away:
The explosion just now was too violent. Even with Jamie's advance warning, they were not able to escape unscathed.
Except for the agile Li Qing, everyone else was injured to varying degrees.
Especially Mista, Naranja and Abbaki who were sitting in the last row of the seven-seater SUV. Because of their position, they escaped the slowest and suffered the greatest power of the explosion.
Dense metal fragments embedded in their backs and the shock wave of the explosion injured their internal organs.
Such serious injuries left the three of them temporarily unable to move.
But Sam Sand was still not satisfied.
"There were only three seriously injured, and they all survived!"
"Damn it... How could this happen... This is going to make things really troublesome."
Sam Sand, the explosion maniac as Jamie called him, was in a very bad mood at the moment.
Although he enjoys fighting and dying, he is not good at it and does not like direct combat.
The ability to make batteries explode with high energy is actually best suited for sneak attacks, and this is exactly what he usually does:
Syme usually likes to sneak up on the enemy when they are off guard, then remotely detonate the battery while the enemy is on the phone, using the computer, or sitting in the car, and finally silently enjoy the wonderful sight of the enemy dying tragically in the flames and wailing.
With such perfect ability, he created countless textbook assassination cases, and the victims did not know that they were sent to see God until they died.
The surprise and terror of the victims when they were suddenly caught in the explosion was exactly what Syme liked best.
Unfortunately, it failed this time.
There is no need to explain the reasons for the failure. It is impossible for the enemy to have the ability to predict the future. They were able to jump out of the car and escape before the car exploded. Someone must have provided the enemy with the information of "Galaxy Notes" in advance.
"Jamie Campbell..."
After the smoke cleared, Saim saw clearly the head with a frozen expression in Li Qing's arms.
The death of his companion did not move him, but angered him:
"This fake guy who can only copy code, this spineless coward..."
"How much did he tell the enemy?"
"Has my Stand ability been fully revealed?"
Syme felt a tingling sensation on his back, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this time, Li Qing and others also recovered from the explosion.
Because of Jamie's death and the thrilling explosion just now, a hint of anger quietly flashed in their eyes.
"Damn it... one, two, three, four..."
"Apart from the three seriously injured guys, there are still four people left who are fully capable of fighting!"
"If that's the case, how can I fight?"
Syme is a very self-aware guy.
He knew that his abilities were limited, and that it would be almost impossible for him, who was good at sneak attacks and assassinations, to win a head-on battle against four opponents alone.
Thinking of this, Syme subconsciously wanted to turn around and get in the car to escape.
However, when he turned around, all he saw was fire and smoke, and the wreckage of a car burning in the smoke.
Yes, when Syme's car exploded just now, his own car also exploded.
Because the explosive ability of "Galaxy Notes" actually releases a special shock wave that is invisible to the naked eye, causing all batteries within a range of fifty meters to explode - Syme has no control over which battery will explode and which will not.
Once the ability is activated, his own things will also be affected.
When Syme kills people, he never considers the "additional impact": if someone is unfortunate enough to pass by nearby, they will also become the target of the explosion.
"Ah...I was so impulsive..."
Syme slapped his forehead, looking somewhat helpless.
Looking at the car that had been burned to a wreckage, he couldn't help but mutter to himself with some regret:
"If I had known that I couldn't kill any of them, I wouldn't have tried that one just now."
"This situation is really troublesome. We can only bite the bullet and fight head-on."
Syme tried to calm down, and his expression became serious:
"So, the question we need to clarify now is..."
"How much did Jamie tell those guys, and how much of the ability of the [Galaxy Notes] was exposed?"
"If the enemy doesn't know much, then I might still have a chance of victory."
※※※
Saim was observing Li Qing from a high position. Li Qing was also standing in the shallow riverbed observing him and his stand-in.
It was a humanoid stand-in, and a stand with a very ferocious and domineering appearance.
Just by sensing its outline, Li Qing knew that this guy was good-looking:
He has a tall and burly figure, angular armor, a huge and heavy ammunition box on his back, and a ferocious "revolving howitzer" connected to his arm, which is perfectly protected by arm armor.
In terms of appearance, it looks very much like the mecha infantry in science fiction movies.
The humanoid stand stood steadily in front of Sam Sang, looking like a loyal galactic crew member protecting his master.
"Everyone be careful!"
Appearance is the same as combat effectiveness, and the sci-fi style of "Galaxy Notes" makes everyone very alert.
Fugo was still groping in his pocket, and nervously reminded his companions:
"Don't carry anything with batteries on you. If it explodes, you're doomed."
"No, don't worry about that."
Bucciarati said calmly:
"See? The enemy's own car also blew up."
"This means that the guy's ability is likely to be an uncontrolled large-scale ability. When he activates his ability, I'm afraid all the batteries within 50 meters around him will explode."
"It has already exploded once, which means... there may be no intact batteries within 50 meters."
They are all veterans and can see through such obvious information at a glance.
Since they were not killed in the explosion just now, it means that they don’t have any batteries on them, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by the explosion.
However… Fugo took out a Walkman from his pocket with a blank look on his face, and then threw it on the ground a few seconds away:
"Is… is that so?"
"But, my Walkman is still good, right?"
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
The information Jamie provided was just a short sentence, and they needed to figure out more details themselves during the battle.
And now that the battle has not even begun, the intelligence they have gathered has already encountered contradictions :
If the enemy's ability is really to detonate batteries on a large scale regardless of whether they are friendly or not, then how could there be a Walkman that survived?
Is there something missing?
This question will not be answered for the time being.
There was no other choice but to follow Fugo's example and carefully check if they had any objects with batteries on them.
At this time, the enemy has already begun to attack.
The tall and burly "mech soldier" tilted the grenade launcher in his hand slightly downward, so that the muzzle was aimed at Li Qing and others below.
Its movements were not very fast, but the slowly shifting and calibrated muzzle and the gradually rotating barrel could always give people a strong sense of deterrence.
Then, the trigger was pulled.
But there was no fire, no smoke, only a light "whoosh" sound breaking through the air.
"Battery? What it fired out of its muzzle was a battery!" Fugo was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized: "Oh, right, Jamie said... his stand can not only detonate batteries, but also create batteries!"
The batteries themselves have no lethality, and those "battery shells" don't hurt much when they hit your body.
However, if this "battery howitzer" is combined with Galaxy Note's own ability to detonate the battery, the effect will be completely different.
These seemingly harmless batteries shot out from the "grenade launcher", drawing simple and deadly parabolas in the air, and finally rolled to the feet of Li Qing and others.
Soon, flames shot up into the sky.
The dozens of batteries that rolled to the ground exploded at the same time, creating a heat wave on the shallow river beach.
The blazing flames burned the river water, and steam and mist filled half of it.
Fortunately, Li Qing and others reacted in time before the batteries rolled over, and they rolled out with the three wounded who were unable to move.
Although he looked a little embarrassed, he managed to escape the disaster.
However, the presence of the wounded restricted their actions, and the enemy's powerful long-range firepower also made it difficult for them to fight back.
Faced with this situation, the four people who were still able to fight, Li Qing, Fugo, Giorno and Bucciarati, quickly reached a tacit consensus: "Fight close to him. We must not let him suppress us and bombard us again."
"Purple smoke!"
“Golden experience!”
"Steel Chain Fingers!"
Fugo, Giorno and Bucciarati rushed forward, seizing the opportunity to get closer to Syme's body.
Li Qing approached forward while carefully observing Saim's movements, ready to attack his body with the Sky Sound Wave at any time.
They cooperated very well.
Their attack was extremely fierce.
However, Sam Sang just smiled and said one sentence, then easily resolved the attack of Li Qing and his four companions:
"Stop fighting, I surrender!"
A pair of hands were raised high.
