Didn’t fire? Didn’t say anything?
Just looking?
Tiger’s expression was blank, clueless of what happened, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Are they… are they afraid?
However, this unrealistic thought appeared for two seconds before it was erased by an earth-shattering bang.
BANG-
The continuous and thunderous explosions came from the distance as if a giant beast has collapsed, and the entire land was shaken. Everything in the garage was shaking, the door, the table, and the people.
After half a minute, the “earthquake” subsided.
The boy who stood next to Tiger climbed out from under the long table and stared at the ceiling of the garage, muttering to himself.
“Earth… earthquake?”
“…”
Tiger did not respond, he just stood there in silence.
With the look of horror written all over his face, he revealed despair that was never been seen before.
The clothes, face, and hair that were originally clean were covered with the gray dust shaken off from the ceiling. The figure looked both lonely and weary as if he had aged a few decades in a matter of seconds.
Just now, he suddenly remembered a legend.
The legend of the NAC Order…
…
East of Shangjing, above Qincheng, the glaring white light quickly disappeared.
The 50kg shell had been fired and the recoil slowly pushed the giant airship back by more than ten meters.
The distance of two hundred kilometers was instantly closed, and the shell precisely hit the main building of Dongcheng Hospital.
“BOOM”
A deafening explosion!
At the impact spot of the bomb, spider-like turtle cracks began to form along the wall, infiltrating inward, and then the entire structure collapsed! The steel skeleton shattered into pieces and collapsed along with the cement debris. The whole building looked like it was pushed by a big hand and fell like an avalanche.
Zhao Qiuran looked at the building that was immersed in the dust, she opened her mouth slightly, but this time she couldn’t say a word.
Even after five minutes, the thick dust did not dissipate.
Without a doubt, no one could escape.
Looking at the rubble, and the dust cloud lingering above the ruin, Jiang Chen’s lips opened, but he seemingly muttered to himself.
“50kg shell. Damn, I wonder if it possible to see the explosion from the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building.”
When the thick dust had almost settled, he turned around and looked at the guards behind him who were eager to fight.
“Let’s go take a peek inside.”
“Roger!”
A uniformed roar.
Lu Fan waved his hand, and the 19 guards behind him were divided into three teams. One of the teams guarded Jiang Chen. The remaining two teams were divided into two and circled to Dongcheng Hospital from both the north and south sides.
Six guards stood around Jiang Chen, but he did not immediately enter the hospital. Instead, he looked at Zhao Qiuran.
“Can you use a gun?”
After she regained her clarity from being shell-shocked, Zhao Qiuran gulped and furiously nodded.
“Yes, of course.”
Isn’t this nonsense?
How can a lone traveler not know how to use a gun?
Jiang Chen gestured to a guard next to him and pointed to the short-tube submachine gun hanging around his waist.
The guard understood, took off his auxiliary weapon, and handed it to Jiang Chen.
“Catch.”
Zhao Qiuran fumbled a few times in the air before she caught the gun. She stared at the submachine gun that Jiang Chen had thrown into her hand. She was in disbelief.
“Don’t you want to prove your worth?” Jiang Chen smiled and raised his chin slightly toward the rumble. “Now I’m giving you a chance.”
Zhao Qiutsn was moved as she gratefully looked at Jiang Chen.
On the wasteland, a weapon meant trust, and giving a weapon meant recognition.
Without another word, Zhao Qiuran responded to this trust with her action.
After she loaded the weapon, her eyes locked on to Dongcheng Hospital, reawakening the fierceness of the wolf.
It was the vibe unique to her, unique to a lone traveler that roamed the wasteland.
Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction as she looked over to the reawakened Zhao Qiuran. It was the vibe she possessed when he saw her at the auction, and only such a warrior has the value of being recruited. Previously, he was worried that he would scare her too much. Now it seemed that he had been overthinking.
A rare Spiritualist, how could he just let her leave?
But such a powerful lone traveler often worked like a double-edged sword. If he wasn’t careful, he would hurt himself. He must use the carrot and stick strategy to teach her about how weak she is compared to the NAC, and if only she willingly let go of her pride to plead loyalty would he be able to use this double-edged sword effectively.
…
The loud gunshots echoed through Dongcheng Hospital.
More than five hundred raiders were buried under the rubble.
And the remaining hundred raiders were no match to the General Guards. Even if they were lucky enough to escape because they were not in the building, they had no chance against the guards surrounding them from three directions. These bandits who only bullied had no fighting chance.
The four power armors they built were not useful at all.
An RPG that dragged a trail of smoke easily penetrated a power armor fighting in the frontline.
Equipped with the submachine gun in her hand and using the bunker to dodge while firing, Zhao Qiuran’s combat prowess was not inferior to the guards.
With the hope of Jiang Chen bringing her to Wanghai, she was eager to show her own value. This made life extremely difficult for the raiders hiding among the ruins. With the dual abilities of Mental Shock and Spiritual Imprint, Zhao Qiuran was not missing a single shot, suppressing the enemy so much that they didn’t even dare to peek.
The Tiger Clan was facing an inevitable defeat.
Realizing their defeat, the raiders without much loyalty decided to flee.
Someone deserted first, and soon there was a second deserter, and with the second one, naturally, the third one appeared. In less than ten minutes, the raiders who were still resisting instantly lost their morale. They cried and fled.
With one foot on the cement pieces, Lu Fan symbolically fired a few shots in the direction of the escaping raiders.
After he saw that he couldn’t reach anyone anymore, he took the rifle in his hand and spat out toward the concrete tile next to him.
“A bunch of puss*es.”
Just like that, the battle in Dongcheng Hospital soon ended.
After they cleared the battlefield, the three teams of guards joined forces and gathered in the grass field of the hospital.
Jiang Chen said as he looekd to Zhao Qiuran.
“I’m going to leave it to you.”
“I will handle it.”
She took a deep breath, then closed her eyes.
The tentacles of mental power spread around and wove into a net.
Even with the life signal shielding device, it was impossible to cover the spiritual seal.
Although her eyes were closed, her mind was clear. The spiritual seals hidden were like swaying candlelight, floating in the vast darkness, and completely visible.
She ignored the “candlelights” that were about to extinguish under the rubble.
Zhao Qiuran pointed in the direction of the underground garage.
“There are probably more than fifty people there.”
Lu Fan gestured to the guards around him and raised his rifle again.
Looking at the garage located in the basement of the hospital, Jiang Chen revealed a sly smile.
“It seems like we’ll be meeting again.”
I wonder if those two cats are still on “Tiger”.
