Chapter 74: Bloody Road
Under the leadership of Su Xia, many refugees set out on their journey home with weapons in hand.
Many people will die along the way.
But if they fight hard there is still a glimmer of hope, and they are unwilling to be lambs to be slaughtered.
"Everyone take cover and pay attention to your surroundings."
Su Xia began to save spiritual energy and shrink the range of metal control.
He couldn't kill all the soldiers from Coral City by himself, and these refugees also needed to go through blood and fire.
This was a night destined to be bloody.
The gunshots rang out, waking countless people from their dreams.
The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air in the night, like the deadly god of death, gradually occupying the city area outside the manor.
Every road and every building has become a battlefield for harvesting lives.
“Da da da da da…”
Flames spewed and bullets flew.
On a low building not far away, Coral City had set up multiple firing points. The sound of heavy and light machine guns firing alternately never stopped. Hot golden bullet casings jumped out and hit the ground with a tinkling sound.
The battlefield is more cruel than anyone can imagine. You may be alive one second and lose half your head the next.
Now, human lives are more important than bullets.
They are only responsible for suppression and do not need to make effective kills.
Even from a distance, the continuous gunfire could be heard, like fireworks, but more deadly than fireworks.
“Swoosh—swoosh—”
Several tiny metal fragments penetrated the night wind, pierced the soldiers' necks, and brought out a puff of blood mist.
Su Xia took action and eliminated this firing point, and then with a casual move, he killed several mechanical dogs that were exploring the way.
He collected these weapons and also took away the night vision goggles and other equipment from the dead soldiers.
The family is not wealthy enough now, so Su Xia will not let go of anything that can be used.
"Keep going! Take cover!"
The refugees with weapons followed, tied up the upper-class people who had been brought out from the underground world and the manor, and put them in the front, using them as human shields, and advanced step by step.
Most of them used the ditches on both sides of the road as cover. Although they had hardly received formal training, they still knew how to shoot, but their postures were not very standard.
Dozens of bodies of Coral City soldiers who had no time to evacuate were lying on the roads and buildings around the manor.
“Boom…Boom…”
Several shoulder-fired rockets exploded not far from the crowd, with a sound like thunder.
There were some veterans among the Coral City soldiers on the opposite side. They were very experienced and didn't care about the specific location of the enemy. They just fired in the general direction and ran away after shooting.
Reality is different from games. Games are full of soldiers who just want to kill more enemies and can be resurrected after death.
But in reality, everyone just wants to survive.
In a complex urban environment, you never know where an enemy may appear. In this situation, you have to rely on your awareness and experience to save your life. Even the best equipment may not guarantee your survival.
"Remember, the bullets belong to the city lord, but your life is your own!"
The experienced veteran leader said this to the recruits and set an example with his actions.
They pointed directly at the dark area where many refugees might be, and said, "Don't worry about the bullets, just shoot in that direction. Whether you can hit it depends on what God thinks!"
"yes!"
In the dark night, the sound of bullets never stopped.
In this area, gunfire could be heard in every street and corner of every building, as if the enemy was everywhere.
Civilians hid in the corners of the rooms and shivered, praying that the battle would end soon and that neither side would use heavy firepower to bombard the buildings where they lived.
The human soldiers in Coral City lacked night equipment, and most of them had close to zero experience in nighttime city combat, to the point where they could not distinguish between friend and foe.
There seemed to be some disagreements at the command center, so that the command from the beginning of the war to now can only be described as chaotic.
A light infantry company that came to support clashed with another company that came to support. The two sides exchanged fire across the street. Heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and individual rocket launchers were all used. The fighting lasted for more than ten minutes before they discovered that the other side was a friendly force.
"Where the hell is the enemy?"
"It seems there are some remaining enemies near the manor."
"Red Leaf Street! We are engaging the enemy, and their firepower is very fierce! Requesting support!"
"Watch out for civilian casualties!"
"Fuck! My home is on Red Leaf Street!"
“…”
On Hongye Street, due to the ravages of artillery fire, large and small shell craters have appeared on the street.
On both sides of the road, the residential buildings were covered with holes left by bullets, countless glass windows were broken, and the screams and cries of civilians mixed in the smoke of gunfire were particularly harsh .
This street is a key point in the first few blockades outside the manor, and we must break through here!
There were Coral City soldiers hiding in the residential buildings along the road, completely disregarding the safety of the civilians in the rooms.
“Da da da da da…”
The firepower intertwined, and bullets rained down.
There were snipers hiding in the dark, and one refugee had his head blown off as soon as he stuck his head out of the ditch.
Their tactics are old-fashioned but very practical. They demolish walls and make holes under residential buildings to deploy machine gunners. There is a distance between the muzzle of the gun and the wall so that the fireworks from the muzzle cannot be seen from outside when shooting. Individual rockets and snipers are deployed on high floors.
At the same time, in the corners of the dark Red Leaf Street, there are a large number of temporarily deployed mines buried.
"This street is crucial. Once we get out of here, the rest of the road will not be so difficult."
Time is running out. If we delay any further, the incoming reinforcements will complete the encirclement!
Su Xia took the lead, ignoring the loss of spiritual energy. Pieces of metal were attached to his arms and legs, allowing him to fly into the air and fly under the night sky like a missile, directly crashing into a residential building that was spewing fire.
He was like the god of death. Wherever he passed, there was blood all over the ground. The warm blood dyed the gray cement bricks red.
Amid the screams of civilians, the Coral City soldiers in the building fell one by one.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe for now."
Su Xia said something to comfort the civilians, and without stopping, flew to another residential building.
Below, many refugees were fighting with the rest of the Coral City soldiers, and the battle was very stalemate.
Both sides suffered casualties, but overall, the refugees were suppressed and suffered more deaths.
At this moment, a special psychic bullet penetrated the heavy metal barriers and headed straight for Su Xia like a deadly poisonous snake.
"boom!"
Although Su Xia blocked it in time, the power of the bullet still sent him flying several meters away.
If the bullet exploded inside him, he would probably burst apart on the spot.
Someone is coming from the other side!
It must be at least a level 3.0 psychic creature, and have awakened psychic talents related to "sniping".
