Chapter 210: Five Minutes of Life and Death
"Fire!"
The captain of this special forces team acted decisively and ordered the attack, without any regard for the possible civilian casualties.
When facing psychic creatures, if you hesitate for a moment, you might be the one to die.
But after they pulled the trigger, the weapons in their hands did not respond at all.
“Damn it…”
Combined with the explosions just now, the captain had a bad feeling in his heart.
In front of them, Su Xia slowly lowered his trouser legs. There were still some glass shards left in his flesh and blood, and there was no time to take them out for the time being.
The wound is healing rapidly under the effect of the healing potion, which is very troublesome.
He slowly stood up and dusted himself off.
Seeing this, the captain no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Retreat!"
This masked man clearly did not receive much damage and still possessed the ability to control metal. In order to reduce the weight of their equipment , protection from head to toe was all made of special alloy materials, with only the bulletproof plate in front being a ceramic-alloy composite material.
There is obviously something wrong with the current shock stance, and it is not a good time to attack.
But Su Xia smiled and said, "Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Team one, retreat. Teams two and three, provide cover!"
The captain gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger, and planned to take some team members to stop Su Xia and buy a chance for the rest of the team members to escape.
But just as he took two steps forward, he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"hiss……"
He took a deep breath in pain. The pain came from the intense squeezing, as if his entire head was about to explode.
It's a helmet!
This helmet, which was supposed to protect them from stray bullets and fragments, was now about to take their lives!
Not only him, but the rest of the team members who broke into this floor through the window all fell to their knees in pain, and the unbearable pain was written all over their distorted faces.
"Damn, this damn helmet!"
They tried their best to take off the helmet that was stuck, but no one succeeded. Many team members' faces turned red, their eyes bulged out, and they couldn't help but wail.
Others endured the severe pain and tried to run to the window and retreat using rappelling ropes, but they were trapped by the rest of the metal materials on their bodies and could not move a single step.
All members dropped their weapons at the same time, suspended in mid-air, and then slowly turned the muzzles of their guns and pointed them at themselves.
The next moment, full fire!
“Da da da da…”
The spewing tongues of fire were particularly spectacular, and the dense bullets poured down on the more than 30 special forces soldiers like raindrops.
Amid the fierce gunfire, some of the junior staff hiding in the corners screamed, and some even cried incessantly, thinking they were going to die in this hail of bullets.
I have to say, the screaming and crying sounds were very disturbing. If it were a thug here, he might really turn his guns around and use physical means to silence them forever.
After a burst of gunfire, all the special forces members fell to the ground, covered in blood.
Bulletproof vests are not omnipotent, not to mention that many parts of their bodies are not protected.
"go!"
Su Xia waved her hand and more than thirty people flew out of the building together.
The safety pins of the grenades on their bodies suddenly pulled out automatically, and the grips popped out, followed by a series of violent roars in mid-air.
Su Xia turned around and left, without even looking back at the explosion.
He walked straight to the stairs and quickly went down them, quickly approaching the place where the screams and cries came from.
Thanks to psychic powers and the strengthening of his body by titanium particles, his hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people.
Just after going down three floors, he ran into a group of soldiers who were searching.
There were six soldiers in this team. When Su Xia saw them, they had already indiscriminately shot and killed more than forty ordinary employees in the building.
If the explosion in mid-air outside the building had not stopped them temporarily, they might have continued killing.
All the soldiers took drugs before setting off, so they were not afraid of blood, but only became more and more excited in the continuous killing.
"Damn, the masked weirdo is up there!"
"The teams on the rooftop were wiped out. I don't think we can even find all the bodies now."
"We are short of manpower, call for support!"
“…”
The glass on the building's exterior was shattered by the violent explosion that had just occurred. As long as you stick your head out, you can see the broken body parts on the ground below.
They were standing in the broken glass, about to contact other teams, when they suddenly saw Su Xia walking towards them.
"not good!"
"Find cover and delay time!"
No matter how excited they were, they knew that the chances of winning a head-on battle were very low and they had to wait until the rest of the soldiers arrived.
But Su Xia did not give them this opportunity and waved her hand indifferently.
The six soldiers flew backwards uncontrollably in an instant, just like the more than 30 soldiers who had descended quickly before them, without even offering the slightest resistance.
As their bodies fell rapidly in mid-air, they heard in despair the sound of the grenade safety pin being pulled out in front of them.
"No--!"
These were the last words left by one of the soldiers in the team channel.
Immediately afterwards, there was another roar outside the building.
The rest of the search teams heard their screams before they died, and they all became more alert, slowed down their movements, and waited for the next instructions from their superiors.
But before the commander's instructions arrived, screams and gunshots were heard again in the team channel.
The gunshot was very close, somewhere in an upstairs area.
After the gunfire ended, everything fell into silence. There was a hint of smoke and blood in the silence, which aroused the inner uneasiness of many soldiers.
They originally came here to hunt down the masked monster, but now they have become the prey. This contrast makes them feel uncomfortable.
"Retreat?"
"What did the boss say?"
"There seems to be something wrong with the stand device. There were explosions on the rooftops just now. The masked man must have recovered a lot of his strength. We are no match for him."
"Let's retreat?"
“…”
Downstairs, several senior military officers in charge of commanding the operation were also worried.
They naturally heard the sounds of the explosions and the screams of countless soldiers, and many of the mutilated bodies that had fallen in the explosions fell near them.
But they could not issue an order to retreat and had to wait for orders from the command room.
In the sky above their heads, several helicopters were hovering around the building, trying to find Su Xia's location.
But suddenly, the propeller of one of the helicopters made a loud explosion.
"boom--"
The blades were broken, the fuselage was twisted, and thick smoke was billowing.
The entire helicopter lost control in an instant, the fuselage tilted, the pilot was pale and sweating, he tried to save it, but no matter what he did, it was of no avail.
The tilted fuselage did not fall, but instead crashed into another helicopter on the upper right under the influence of a strange force.
“Get out of the way!”
"quick!"
The crew members on both helicopters were all pale and their scalps were tingling.
There was a loud bang, and the two helicopters collided, turning into two hot fireballs in the air, and countless burning fragments fell to the ground uncontrollably like meteors.
The officers on the ground and dozens of soldiers on standby fled in all directions, frantically dodging the debris falling from the sky. The scene was extremely chaotic.
At the same time, the sound of soldiers screaming was heard from inside the building.
The masked man was like an omnipresent ghost, walking in darkness and shadows, taking the lives of several soldiers every once in a while.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
"Meet up downstairs and stop him on the street!"
Even though there was no order from the command room, several officers downstairs could not help but give the order to retreat.
If those soldiers were scattered in the building, they would be defeated one by one and die in unclear circumstances.
But at this moment, an order to hold on to the end came from the command room.
"No retreat!"
"Hold the masked man, we are activating the backup equipment. It will only take 25 minutes to set up a complete stand again!"
The voice giving the order was very cold, as if human lives were just numbers in his eyes.
But the officer who received the order was paralyzed.
"What? Twenty-five minutes?"
What is the command room thinking?
Do you think they are all immortal?
Although they were extremely reluctant, they had to obey the military order. They could only say to the soldiers in the channel: "Retreat while blocking the enemy. We only need to hold out for five minutes. Five minutes is enough!"
Five minutes sounds about right.
The soldiers in the building felt a little relieved and began to retreat, while being wary of the masked monster that might appear.
But the situation did not improve in these five minutes. Instead, the masked man's killing speed increased, and screams rang out one after another in the team channel.
More and more teams lost contact and became one of those cold numbers.
When the agonizing five minutes were finally over, the remaining twenty or so soldiers finally retreated to the first floor and joined the more than forty soldiers on standby downstairs.
Just when they thought they could evacuate, the officer in charge issued another order: "No, we need another five minutes. There is a problem at the headquarters. Delaying for another five minutes will be enough!"
"Five minutes, can you do it?" the officer shouted solemnly, "Tell me, I know you can!"
"able!"
The soldiers roared in unison, their eyes bloodshot.
Under the stimulation of this atmosphere, the uneasiness in many people's hearts was suppressed again, and they turned to grit their teeth and persevere for the next five minutes.
They held their weapons tightly, guarding the elevators, corridors, emergency exits and other locations, waiting for Su Xia to show up.
However, more than ten seconds later, there was a sudden explosion on the fourth floor. The exterior glass, which was already full of cracks, shattered instantly, and Su Xia's ghostly figure broke through the wall.
Countless pieces of glass were scattered all over the ground, and Su Xia's figure floated towards another building.
Seeing this scene, the faces of several officers changed.
"Oh no, he's going after the people who installed the backup equipment!"
"Stop him now!"
