Helix Rockets

"Were you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a weathered voice sounded from behind him. The gang leader reacted quickly, turning around and firing. William grabbed the barrel and forced it upward. The bullets whistled past, all striking the wall.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The Desert Eagle quickly ran out of bullets. The gang leader tossed the pistol aside, grabbed the AK-47, and tried to open fire.

William snatched the AK-47 from him and gripped it in both hands. With a powerful twist, he snapped it in half!

"Holy shit!"

The gang leader froze. Was this guy a monster? How could anyone break a gun with their bare hands?

Without a moment's hesitation, he picked up the bag on the ground and made a run for it. But William couldn't let a criminal get away that easily. He grabbed the bag too, and the two began wrestling over it.

Soldier: 76 was far stronger than an ordinary person. The gang leader was no match for him. A crack gradually appeared in the bag, which was already nearly bursting with its contents. As the two struggled over it, the crack grew wider.

The next moment, the entire bag tore open, and its contents went flying. A shower of banknotes rained down, obscuring William's vision like a downpour.

"Soldier: 76 transformation time remaining: 60 seconds..."

Seeing the gang leader flee from the bank amid the chaos, William was about to chase after him when Athena's voice rang out.

"Wait, Athena! Where's my gun?"

To be honest, he hadn't wanted to fight the enemy bare-handed. He'd charged out on a burst of passion, unable to stand by and watch the bank manager get shot. That was why he'd transformed into Soldier: 76.

Now that he'd calmed down, he looked at his red gloves and realized—wait, where was his gun?

Soldier: 76's greatest strength was his steady damage output. A soldier without a gun wasn't much of a soldier. Unarmed, Soldier: 76 could only grapple with the enemy. He needed a weapon!

"Weapon: Heavy Pulse Rifle unlocking..."

After a dazzling flash of white light, the mighty Heavy Pulse Rifle appeared before him. With its striking appearance and sleek colors, it was obvious at a glance that this was an incredibly high-tech, futuristic rifle!

Heavy Pulse Rifle: A groundbreaking weapon from Overwatch, this Pulse Rifle can fire Helix Rockets. It can maintain a steady rate of fire while firing in full-auto mode. Magazine capacity: 25.

"We're all soldiers now." William glanced down at the weapon in his hands, then activated Sprint and took off after them.

A black van was parked outside the bank. The gang had six members in total: five had robbed the bank, while the sixth waited in the van. The engine had been left running so they could make a quick getaway as soon as the robbery was done.

But right now, getting away alive mattered more.

"Get in! Drive!" the gang leader shouted as he yanked open the door.

The driver was holding a laptop. He was the sixth member of the gang. Besides driving, he'd hacked the bank's alarm system and security cameras to make sure the robbery went smoothly.

Seeing the gang leader's panicked expression, he couldn't help asking, "Huh? Why are you alone? Where's everyone else?"

"Cut the crap! Drive!" the gang leader shouted, slapping the driver on the head. The driver had no idea what was going on, but he obeyed. He slammed his foot on the gas, and the van lurched forward, gradually pulling away from the bank.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the gang leader looking back tensely, his face full of worry.

"Damn it, today's been cursed!" The gang leader looked behind them. A figure suddenly appeared, chasing after their van. Recognizing the familiar red visor and head of white hair, he couldn't help cursing.

He'd been watching that bank for a long time. It was far from the police station, and its security was weak. If that guy hadn't interfered today, he'd have made a fortune. Instead, he hadn't gotten a single cent and had lost four of his men.

"Just thinking about it makes me furious!" The gang leader found a Thompson Submachine Gun in the van. He opened the door, leaned halfway out, and fired at William behind them!

"Rat-a-tat-tat..."

The Thompson Submachine Gun was also known as the Chicago Typewriter, because its gunfire sounded just like a typewriter clacking away.

In an instant, a dense hail of bullets flew toward William. He hurriedly dodged, and countless bullets whizzed past him.

"Now it's my turn."

William raised the Pulse Rifle, his finger resting on the trigger. A futuristic sound rang out, and he recognized it as the Pulse Bullets charging!

"What the hell is that thing?"

From a distance, the gang leader saw the mysterious rifle in William's hands. He'd never seen a weapon like it. It was as if it didn't belong to this era.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavy Pulse Rifle's muzzle glowed, and blue flames burst forth!

The gang leader's instincts told him that if he got hit by that gun, he was as good as dead.

He immediately ducked back inside the van as the Pulse Bullets bore down on him. He threw himself to the floor, bullets whistling past his ears.

It was William's first time firing a gun in real life, and his accuracy was impressive: he didn't hit a single person.

Still, the van's doors and body were riddled with bullet holes. A hole had even been punched through the windshield in front of the driver. Terrified, the driver yanked the steering wheel, swerving wildly down the road to dodge the bullets.

The Heavy Pulse Rifle held 25 rounds. William quickly emptied the magazine. Just as he finished reloading, Athena's voice sounded again:

"William, Soldier: 76's transformation has only ten seconds left. You're running out of time."

"I can't let the bad guys get away!" William quickly canceled Sprint. He raised the Heavy Pulse Rifle and aimed at the van's trunk, then said in a low voice, "Helix Rockets!"

Helix Rockets: Blast your enemies away. Soldier: 76 fires three micro-rockets from his Pulse Rifle. They spiral toward the target he wants to destroy, dealing heavy damage to enemies in a small area.

Note: Helix Rockets can be used to perform a rocket jump.

Soldier: 76 had high damage output and powerful bullets, but sustained fire caused heavy spread. That made it difficult for untrained William to hit his enemies. With his transformation about to end, William didn't hesitate. He fired the Helix Rockets!

On a street in Brooklyn, a van careened around like a headless fly. Three micro-rockets blazed blue as they streaked across the sky, spinning rapidly and closing in with a shrill whistle.

"Oh, fuck!" The gang leader looked like he'd seen a ghost. The driver saw three blue points of light closing in through the rearview mirror. His eyes widened. He pulled the handbrake and wrenched the steering wheel.

The van spun in place. The Helix Rockets flew past so close they grazed its roof, scraping off golden sparks. But they missed their target and shot toward a fire hydrant by the roadside.

"Boom!"

The fire hydrant exploded, sending a fountain of water high into the air. Countless droplets fell like a rainstorm from the sky.

"Don't look back! Keep driving!" the gang leader shouted, drenched from head to toe.

While Soldier: 76 chased after the bank robbers, chaos reigned outside the bank they'd just robbed.

The police cars and ambulance took ages to arrive, and the police cordoned off the entrance. A crowd gathered nearby. In dangerous Brooklyn, bank robberies happened so often that people were already used to them.

Among the crowd stood a man in a black suit. He took off his sunglasses, pulled out his phone, and said calmly, "Sir, I need the surveillance footage from every street in Brooklyn..."

Can you guess who this person is?
