"Sir, wake up, sir?"
You He felt someone shaking his shoulder. He jolted awake from unconsciousness.
His eyes rapidly focused, and when he looked about twenty meters to his left, his pupils suddenly contracted.
A massive crater had appeared twenty meters to his left. More than ten soldiers under his command had originally been lying there, but now not a single one remained.
That was not entirely true. Several charred corpses remained at the scene, their combat suits fused to their burned flesh.
The Melta Bomb's absolute kill zone was not actually very large. Only its central area briefly possessed the power of the sun, melting everything within it.
As the distance increased, the heat rapidly weakened.
That Melta Bomb had completely vaporized three or four human auxiliary troops. Then, as its heat dissipated, it roasted another seven or eight soldiers to death.
Those seven or eight soldiers had died horribly. They lay on the ground with their hands still in the posture of raising their guns, already reduced to charcoal.
Rain fell from the sky, striking their carbonized corpses and sending up steam.
You He looked at those blackened bodies and felt a chill crawl down his spine. He nearly threw up.
Only after a long while did he recover. He climbed up from the ground and looked around, only to discover that the gunfire had stopped.
"What happened? Is the battle over?"
The soldier opened his mouth to say something to You He, but in the next instant, with a wet splurt, a Chainsword burst through his chest.
Its spinning teeth tore the wound wider, spraying blood, bone, and rapidly spinning Adamantium teeth everywhere.
You He stared in shock. The soldier rolled his eyes and died on the spot.
