Weapons of Mass Destruction

Someone has betrayed us and assassinated the most important guide.

"Humans are indeed unreliable, Xu Jiang, you were right." Pace, clad in a grayish-blue hue, appeared beside Xu Jiang, highly praising his decision not to stay behind.

But Xu Jiang shook his head and explained, "What I was worried about was human greed, their selfishness and fear of death leading them to abandon teammates. Now, it seems the situation is more complicated."

It was clear that the current situation was somewhat out of control.

With the guide's death, all his mechanical turrets became useless. The stronghold, which had been full of confidence moments ago, was now a pile of scrap metal.

Even more terrifying, as the woman's expression turned fanatical, she pulled a white mask from her bosom.

Faceless Ones!

How could these fanatical perverts be everywhere!

Or was it that this void was caused by the Faceless Ones?

The team members in the stronghold, after a moment of panic, finally recovered. They all attacked in unison, trying to kill the traitorous woman.

But it seemed to be too late.

The woman put on the mask and shouted towards Xu Jiang, "Pace! You're going to die too!"

With a 'bang', she self-destructed, blood and flesh spraying out, covering the entire stronghold.

Xu Jiang turned his head in shock to look at Pace, his meaning clear: your target was actually you?

Pace shrugged helplessly and replied, "That's not surprising. The Faceless Ones' ideology is to destroy the world, so it's normal for them to target me. I came here to test the Madness Affliction Treatment Device."

It was evident that although Pace called himself a merchant, the items he sold were definitely not simple, to the extent that he was targeted by the Faceless Ones.

Fortunately, he had remained vigilant the entire time. If he had stayed, that blade might have been plunged into Pace's chest right now.

Moreover, this was no longer just Pace's problem; everyone was in danger.

The Faceless Ones were a bunch of lunatics. As long as you were breathing, you were their enemy. They were completely unreasonable and wanted to obliterate everything.

"Ignore them, let's cross the bridge first." Xu Jiang felt something was wrong. He cleared the remaining monsters and urged the two to speed up across the bridge.

As soon as they reached the other side, Lan Tie's exclamation came from beside him: "Oh no! Look over there, so many monsters have appeared."

Following the woman's self-destruction, her flesh and blood splattered onto several other people, like special seasoning sprinkled on tender, fragrant human meat.

The aroma attracted monsters from all directions.

The good news was that the stronghold was on the other side of the bridge, and the scent of the strange flesh would not affect Xu Jiang and the others for now.

But the bad news was that those survivors were terrified. Their bodies were still covered in blood and flesh. Seeing the monsters appear, they immediately screamed for help and rushed towards them.

Xu Jiang roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand monsters in the dense mass on the other side.

He couldn't possibly fight so many enemies with just the Desert Eagle in his hand.

He wondered if he could borrow Guan Yin's heavy firepower in this emergency.

"Sister Guan Yin, there are so many monsters ahead! Sniffle, Sparkles is so scared."

"Little sister Sparkles, I'm scared too. Shall we hug each other?"

"Okay, sniffle."

The stun baton was hung on Gatling, and Gatling was hiding behind Xu Jiang. His only two Rear Admirals activated their clingy mode. You two are really something.

"Prepare to run!" Xu Jiang made his decision.

Defending was definitely not an option. If they didn't run now, it would only be a dead end.

But Pace, standing beside him, also delivered some bad news.

"There are quite a few monsters behind us too. Retreating is too dangerous." Pace observed for a while and found that they had nowhere to retreat.

Judging by the desperate escape of those few people, they were definitely going to latch onto them. If they retreated now, it would be a pincer movement, leaving them with no chance of survival.

Xu Jiang's eyes hardened. He raised his gun and aimed at the bridge.

Bang!

An Explosive Shot detonated in front of the fleeing individuals, and the splashing flames startled the panicked group.

"What are you doing!"

"Nothing, I just want to survive!" Xu Jiang's gun did not lower, and he threatened coldly, "Jump off the bridge. If you get any closer, I'll shoot you!"

The threat to their lives made the fleeing individuals' expressions change, and they shouted, "How can you do this? We are all refugees, and you want to kill people!"

"You are trying to kill me now, and I don't want to die! Let me remind you, if you don't jump now, you'll never have the chance again."

Xu Jiang's voice was very cold, as if urging them to find their way to the afterlife. His gun was already aimed at them. At this distance, no one could escape the pursuit of the Telekinetic Bullet.

Human nature is very complex.

Were these people escaping? No, they just wanted to drag Xu Jiang and the other two down with them.

Jumping into the river to wash off the blood and flesh and then swimming away was not impossible, but it carried some risk.

The best plan was to charge across the other side, relying on Xu Jiang and their powerful combat strength to hold back the monsters, and ideally, to infect them with some of the blood and flesh before escaping, which would increase their chances of survival.

They were the weak ones, and these powerhouses should die protecting them.

Unfortunately, Xu Jiang was even more ruthless than them. If he had the ability, he would save them, but if he didn't, he wouldn't risk his own life.

No matter how much they yelled, Xu Jiang refused to lower his gun. Seeing the monsters chasing them from behind, they could only helplessly climb onto the bridge railing and choose to jump into the river.

They were all professionals, so jumping off the bridge wouldn't kill them. As for whether they could escape the pursuing monsters, that depended on their own luck.

The scent had been drawn away, and the number of monsters had significantly decreased, but escaping was still difficult.

Glancing at his surroundings, Xu Jiang said, "Let's run along the riverbank, get some distance, and then fight the monsters."

Fighting directly at the bridgehead would attract more monsters from the opposite bank with the gunfire and explosions. It was best to run further away to clear the monsters safely.

But at this moment, Lan Tie stepped forward.

With his broad shoulders, carrying the totem he was proud of, he grinned at Xu Jiang, "You guys run, I'll hold off the monsters for you."

"You..."

"To be buried here, with mountains behind and water in front, is not a bad way to go," Lan Tie sighed in a deep voice and strode towards the monster horde.

Sacrifice was his destiny. His only concern was his childhood sweetheart.

"Xu Jiang, remember to take good care of Xiao Fang for me!"

The newly made friend had gone without hesitation, and perhaps this was a farewell forever.

Xu Jiang could only stand there, watching his friend leave, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your wife, you can rest assured..."

"General, the enemy has gathered. Now is a good time to attack!" Qianji advised forcefully, as if wanting to lead the charge.

"But we can't win! How can we fight?" Xu Jiang looked at the battlefield.

In just this short time, hundreds of monsters had surrounded his friend.

There were fast-moving rabid dogs, reckless madmen, and even shadow monsters and wriggling meat masses...

The dense attacks had already inflicted countless wounds on Lan Tie, and the totem in his hand was swinging slower and slower.

Xu Jiang didn't refuse to fight because he didn't want to, but because they simply couldn't win.

"But General, don't we have weapons of mass destruction? If we use him, we can eliminate these monsters!"

"Weapons of mass destruction? Do we?"

"Of course, we do. Leave it to me." With that, Qianji drew a grenade from the weapon slot.

He directly berated the grenade, "Are you even a male mecha, hiding in the rear and not going to the battlefield? You're worse than a woman!"

Grenade: ...
