Li Jinrong was completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Yue, lying beside him, was the same.
The thick smog had dispersed considerably. Holding binoculars in their hands, the two stared unblinkingly at the battlefield that had been covered by artillery fire.
If the previous round of bombardment had merely awed him with the Heart of Steel's firepower, then this clash on the front line had utterly overturned his understanding of human beings.
Those guys...
Were they really still human?
He had never seen human soldiers who could go toe-to-toe with mutants in close-quarters combat.
And now, with his own eyes, he watched a man clad in heavy exoskeleton armor split a cybernetic mutant over two meters tall in half with a chainsaw, then smoothly pull out a scavenged shotgun and blast apart a green-skinned creature's head.
What was even more unbelievable was—
Those beasts had actually begun to fear.
Yes.
The expressions of fear were plainly visible on those demons' faces. He could hardly believe his eyes—the beasts who worshipped death and slaughter had been scared out of their wits by a bunch of people even more reckless than themselves.
The sun had risen in the west!
"...Looks like Brother Chicken's side has already wrapped things up." Fang Chang calmly said, putting away his binoculars as he stood not far from the two of them.
There was no suspense left in the battle itself.
Before, Brother Chicken and just over twenty brothers had been able to hold off a force of a thousand. Now, one hundred and twenty fully equipped heavy infantrymen were dealing with a bunch of guys who had been half-blown to pieces. If they could still screw this up, they might as well delete their accounts and start over.
Even if these guys were much stronger than the previous lot.
