Success and Surprise
The other person was more familiar with him. Upon seeing Si Ming, he flashed a charming smile and said, "To participate in such a dangerous operation, it's truly worrying. Sigh, I'll personally protect you. Don't worry, leave the rest to me!"
Hearing the word "behind" from you always makes me feel extremely dangerous. You're more dangerous than Demon Beast!
Si Ming glanced sideways at Jiang Zhengtai, giving him an expression that seemed to say, "What the hell are you doing here?"
The aide also advised, "Dr. Jiang, you are a doctor; saving the wounded is your duty."
Jiang Zhengtai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. With the current battle situation, the Demon Beast can't even get close to the dam. No one will be injured in the short term. It's no big deal for me to go out for a while, especially since there are other doctors."
"But..."
"Actually, there's one advantage to having me participate in the operation: if any members of the raiding party are seriously injured, I can provide timely medical assistance, reducing the chances of casualties."
The aide paused for a moment, then threw out the most crucial question, "But are you confident you can protect others among the demon horde?"
"I've been underestimated."
Jiang Zhengtai smiled, and with a gentle flick of his right hand, a hissing sound was heard as the aide's clothes were shredded into pieces.
The aide was startled and instinctively took a step back, only to feel that his neck had been bound by a thin, transparent thread. If the other party exerted even the slightest force, his entire head would probably be severed.
"This should prove my strength, right?"
Jiang Zhengtai nimbly twitched his five fingers, which were wrapped with invisible fine threads, moving freely like extended limbs.
Chapter 139 Smooth Sailing and Unexpected Events
Si Ming checked the White Eagle and the Spirit Sparrow, and after confirming that there were no malfunctions, he patiently waited for the signal to depart.
Although a temporarily formed team should seize the time to improve their teamwork or devise some hand signals, Ye Ziqian, the Shadow Hero Guard, was clearly a man of few words, unable to utter a single word for a long time. Jiang Zhengtai, on the other hand, seemed eager to communicate, but Si Ming didn't want to pay him any attention.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his head. A month had passed since the shooting incident, and his bald head had grown hair again, turning from wasteland into a lawn. His spiky hair, pointing upwards, actually gave him a sunny, youthful look. It was just that his eyebrows were growing rather slowly, so he had to ask Yao Bilian to brush them on with an eyebrow brush.
Hairstyle and eyebrows are very important. Even a top-tier beauty will look unsightly if she shaves her head and eyebrows. If you don't believe me, try modifying a photo of a beautiful woman.
"Your new hairstyle looks great. Although you've lost that White Face charm, you've gained a different kind of wildness. Personally, I prefer your current look." Jiang Zhengtai stared at Si Ming with bright eyes, looking like a lovesick fool.
If a woman showed such an expression, even the most self-disciplined Si Ming would feel a sense of smug satisfaction. But if it were a man, he would inevitably get goosebumps. Moreover, he noticed that Ye Ziqian had subtly taken a few steps back, increasing the distance between herself and the two of them.
Laozi 'm straight, you bastard!
Hey, come here right now! Let's all put our arms around each other's shoulders and go to a random toilet. Let's see who can pee the farthest, and from now on we'll be best buddies, straight as the wind!
However, such words cannot be spoken. At this point, the more you explain, the worse it will become. The best response is neither a flustered explanation nor a silence that can be misunderstood as acquiescence. Instead, you should look at the other party with a disdainful gaze and calmly and clearly state your position.
Sure enough, after seeing Si Ming's attitude, Ye Ziqian lessened her resistance slightly, but she distanced herself from Jiang Zhengtai even further.
"That look of disdain is truly heartbreaking. I've been your personal physician, examining you for months. Is it because there are outsiders present that you'd resort to such methods to hurt me?"
Jiang Zhengtai spoke in an extremely resentful tone, successfully scaring Ye Ziqian back ten meters away. Then he changed to an excited expression. "However, being stared at like that gives me a strange, inexplicable pleasure. Ah, ah, ah, oh no, I feel like a new attribute is about to awaken!"
Si Ming was so angry he wanted to pull his hair out. Just as he was about to teach the other person a lesson, a signal came from afar that "the operation is about to begin."
As the signal lights illuminated the sky, the army immediately intensified its firepower, no longer conserving its True Qi. All the crossbows fired simultaneously, and various giant crossbow bolts bombarded the beach, slaughtering the Demon Beast until blood flowed like rivers and severed limbs flew everywhere.
Ten giant crescent-shaped blades swirled across the beach, cutting down Demon Beast with insufficient armor and no time to dodge, cleaving them in two and turning the beach crimson with blood.
The giant crossbow, forged entirely of steel, roared out, like a red-hot iron skewer, piercing through Demon Beast it encountered along the way, and finally striking a giant lizard the size of an elephant, piercing it through.
All the soldiers fired their crossbows. These crossbows were not single-shot; some were capable of rapid fire, and some could fire dozens of arrows in one go. In an instant, a dark mass of arrows rained down on the enemy like a swarm of locusts. The spiraling force of the arrows pierced through their armor, and many fell to the ground with a clatter.
Now!
A ten-man raiding squad seized the opportunity to rush into the battlefield. Taking advantage of the gap when the Demon Beast's current forces had been wiped out and reinforcements had not yet arrived, they quickly crossed the sea of corpses with severed limbs and remains everywhere and rushed towards the Demon Beast's rear core. Si Ming and his two companions followed closely behind.
It takes three minutes to drive at full speed to reach the six-kilometer distance.
In the first minute, neither team encountered any obstacles. The scattered Demon Beast that had survived the previous clearing attack couldn't even slow down their advance.
In the second minute, the Demon Beast from behind rushed into the battlefield, slowing down the assault team. Si Ming and his two companions were forced to slow down as well. Although they wanted to rush in to help, they knew it wasn't their mission, and acting rashly would only attract the Demon Beast's attention, hindering their subsequent assassination attempt.
Fortunately, the members of the raiding squad were all highly skilled soldiers, whose strength was no less than that of the experts in the Mohist Knight Guard. More importantly, they were all wearing Mohist School Profound Armor.
Unlike Yan Jinghong's lightweight Xuan Profound Armor, which resembled bronze armor, the Profound Armor worn by the assault team was closer to Iron Man's armor from American comics. It not only covered the entire body but was also equipped with various firepower weapons, such as Gauss rifles that converted True Qi into electromagnetic force to propel metal bullets, as well as energy weapons that converted True Qi into lasers, electric currents, heat energy, and freezing energy.
One of them wielded a machete as big as a door panel, which could quickly clear out the surrounding enemies when swung. Another person held a hammer the size of a rhinoceros; one swing of the hammer could send an elephant flying.
Clearly, the Profound Armor these people wear has the effect of amplifying their power.
In terms of firepower, the standard Profound Armor worn by these people seems to be far superior to Yan Jinghong's Heaven-Soaring Armor. However, in reality, the latter is far more valuable than the former—and this does not refer to the cost.
These standard-issue Profound Armor are not easy to carry and require transportation by vehicle. Moreover, they are quite cumbersome to put on, which means they cannot be used as regular equipment for experts. In real combat, there is no invincible transformation time. While you are wearing the Profound Armor, the enemy will not stand still and just watch.
In addition, while wearing them can increase straight-line speed, it reduces flexibility.
Finally, these standard Profound Armor do not have the ability to fly.
In short, this kind of Profound Armor is not suitable for battles between experts; it can only be used to deal with Demon Beast are not very bright but also have thick skin and tough flesh.
With the help of the Profound Armor, the raiding squad only slowed down slightly, but still pressed forward resolutely, like a sharp dagger cleaving through the surging tide of demons.
Si Ming followed behind, picking off any openings, and didn't encounter too many Demon Beasts, especially with Jiang Zhengtai and Ye Ziqian as his guards.
Jiang Zhengtai wielded his ten fingers, and the transparent threads, like scalpels, dismembered the Demon Beast into eight or seventeen pieces. Even the armored Demon Beast could not withstand the cutting of these threads. He demonstrated the essence of the Butcher Ding's Ox-Carving's skill, "entering the spaces between things with nothing," to the fullest extent.
Ye Ziqian's methods were very simple. He held two Judging Official. When he encountered Demon Beast with thin skin, he would easily stab it in the vital spot with the hard pen in his left hand. As long as the skin was broken and blood was drawn, the monster would lie on the ground convulsing. When he encountered a monster with thick skin, he would brush it in the eyes with the soft pen in his right hand. The monster would then go blind and go into a frenzy, attacking indiscriminately without distinguishing friend from foe.
Clearly, this is a man with some skills, and he's poisoned those skills.
