Bermuda, Skull Island.
It was already afternoon, and it was getting dark, but the heavy rain that lasted all day and night still didn't stop, as if it was going to submerge the whole world.
"Hu~hu~"
Merlin was breathing heavily, and his chest was heaving violently, like a bellows. At this moment, he and Du Weiguo were squatting in a big tree hole to rest like drowned rats.
They had been traveling at high speed for 6 hours in a heavy rain environment and in a dense forest with no way to go. Even hardened people couldn't stand it.
In the tree hole, Du Weiguo's breath was slightly disturbed, and he sat lazily in a relatively dry place. He even had enough energy to take off his raincoat and hang it up to dry.
Stretching his legs lazily and twisting his neck, Du Weiguo took out a delicate spray gun from his pocket and slowly lit a cigar.
He took a deep sip, exhaled the smoke for a long time, took out another one, and glanced at Merlin with a hint of provocation:
"How do you like it? Merlin, would you like to have one? It's authentic Havana stuff, not far from your hometown."
Merlin rolled his eyes at him angrily and sneered mercilessly:
"Wesley, your ignorance surprises me. Havana is in Cuba, and Cuba was originally the territory of the Aztecs."
Du Weiguo's face was thicker than the city wall, and he showed no shame at all. Not only that, he also shamelessly gave Merlin a thumbs up:
"Disrespect! Disrespect! It turns out that the Aztec Empire guarded by His Excellency the Sun God was once so glorious and huge?
Alas, it's a pity that without the blessing of the gods, it was destroyed by the Spaniards who were like novices in just six months. It was really disappointing. "
Du Weiguo had a weird look on his face, and he sighed with regret. This grandson specializes in poking at people's painful areas, and he is even more accurate with his marksmanship. This one hit was extremely accurate and pierced the heart.
"snort!"
Merlin snorted with a dark face and was too lazy to argue with the illiterate man in front of him. He threw a few Shashen Pills into his mouth angrily, chewed them bitterly, and turned his head away from him.
Du Weiguo is indeed sophistry. When the Aztec Empire was destroyed 300 years ago, Spain was not a weakling, and its ancestors were also serious and heroic.
At that time, Spain was still a colonial empire and a complete maritime overlord.
With strong ships and powerful guns and advanced weapons, they not only dominate the entire America, but even the Atlantic Ocean is their back garden, and they want what they want.
At that time, the sun never set. Germany, Tsarist Russia, etc. were all younger brothers and had to stand aside. The Citizen Eagle was even an egg and had not yet established a country.
At its peak, Spain even extended its tentacles to the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away. The earliest Catholic churches in China and Japan were built by them. Of course, they also stole cultural relics.
Let's digress and get back to the topic. Merlin actually didn't lose his temper because of this trivial matter. He was not so stingy.
The reason why he was so angry was that he had competed with Du Weiguo just now, and the result was a disastrous defeat! Hurt your self-esteem.
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. All strong people have the desire to compete.
Merlin had always been very confident in his physical strength and agility. When he was on his way just now, he unknowingly started to compete secretly.
The way he moves forward in the jungle is full of anime visuals, and is very similar to the way he performed in Naruto.
He kept jumping between the branches of the trees, occasionally using the odd-shaped hook and sickle-edged sword to change direction.
Merlin's movements were stretched, swift, and light. They looked smooth and smooth, which was pleasing to the eye, but even so, they were still not enough to compare with Du Weiguo's.
This grandson used the Nine Nether Locks to swing around like a giant monkey. He could advance dozens of meters with each swing, which was shockingly fast.
If he was just fast, Merlin wouldn't be able to break through the defense. The key was that Du Weiguo's grandson's physical strength was too abundant, to the point of despair.
After wandering in the jungle for several hours, such a high-intensity march, even Du Weiguo was carrying heavy baggage. Even so, his breathing only became heavier.
On the other hand, Mei Lin seemed to have just finished visiting the brothel. His legs were weak, his vision was dark, and he almost stumbled and fell from the tree.
The reason why they stopped to rest before it got dark was because Du Weiguo took the initiative to take care of Merlin, which made Merlin helpless and angry.
Fortunately, he was also a man who was once called a god. When did he become a weakling who needed to be taken care of?
"呲~"
After a moment, Du Weiguo suddenly tightened his eyes, spit out the cigar from his mouth, and drove it into the tree trunk like a dart.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were coldly looking at the rain curtain outside. In his sight, there was nothing but water vapor and dense forest.
But if there is a sense of crisis, it is real. It is as clear as dust in a mirror. Du Weiguo said in a sharp tone:
"Merlin, I think those damn spider monsters may be after us."
Spider Monster was Du Weiguo's nickname for the Predator based on his physical appearance, which was quite appropriate.
Induction is mysterious and fleeting. In fact, it is an ability that humans are born with. This ability can be classified as extraordinary and is not uncommon.
For example, someone is staring at you from behind, and sometimes you can notice it even without looking back. Another example is sudden heart palpitations, inexplicable chills, waking up from dreams, etc., which can all be attributed to induction.
It's just this kind of sudden feeling that ordinary people tend to ignore. Even if they look at it, they can't figure it out, can't find a clue, and can't interpret it.
However, for Du Weiguo, who has been wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time, induction is an extremely important tool for him and has saved his life countless times.
At this moment, Merlin subconsciously held the sword, exhaled a long breath, and nodded solemnly.
"Yeah, I feel it too."
Du Weiguo stood up slowly and his tone became serious: "Merlin, how are you resting?"
Merlin also stood up and slowly twisted his body: "You can move on."
Du Weiguo nodded and handed some of the Evil God Shuttles on his body to Merlin, and then handed him the bright-edged Tang Dao as well.
"If we meet again, there is a high probability that these spider monsters will not give us a fair duel opportunity. I may not be able to use these cold weapons."
Merlin was not polite. He took the Evil God Shuttle, weighed it a little and pinned it to his waist. Then he played with the Tang knife familiarly and tried the blade with his fingertips. He sincerely praised:
"A good knife, with a good center of gravity and a sharp edge."
In fact, among Du Weiguo's exposed cold weapons, there was also a sharper Kusanagi sword. Merlin had also seen this magical weapon that could cut through iron-blooded armor.
However, Du Weiguo didn't mention it, and Merlin didn't ask. Everything has its limits, and some things cannot be shared. They both understood it tacitly.
After putting away the Tang knife, Merlin tilted his head and stretched out his hand towards him.
Du Weiguo looked at him with a surprised expression. He couldn't believe that Merlin would be so ignorant and ask for the Kusanagi sword from him.
After looking at each other for a while, Merlin scolded angrily:
"What are you looking at? Give me a gun. Who told you I can only use a sword?"
"What?"
Du Weiguo was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but speak Chinese, then switched to English and asked in surprise:
"Merlin, can you use a gun?"
Upon hearing this, Merlin's expression was distorted, showing great anger, and even the veins on his forehead stood out:
"Nonsense. Although I have lived longer, I am not a primitive man. I have experienced World War I and World War II personally. Why can't I use a gun?"
Damn, the reasons are so good and powerful! Du Weiguo was speechless.
The hot weapons he had on hand included two AKMs, and they had plenty of ammunition. Du Weiguo handed one of them to Merlin in a daze.
"Click~"
Merlin took it over, checked the firearm and magazine expertly, and then quickly pulled on the safety. Du Weiguo's eyelids twitched at the sight, and a sense of outrageous absurdity arose in his heart.
You know, Merlin is an old monster who has lived for more than 400 years. He is a contemporary of Qi Jiguang. It is indescribable to see him skillfully handling an AK rifle.
"What are you looking at? Bullets. By the way, give me a few grenades too."
The Merlin man was mature and well-versed in world affairs, so he naturally understood Du Weiguo's eyes and muttered in a rather unhappy tone.
Pattaya, the beachside villas in the south of the city, with flames soaring into the sky and cannons rumbling, has turned into a veritable battlefield.
Mina, like Earl, is a complete lunatic at heart.
Hong Kong Island is Asia's financial center and the largest free trade port. It has a special status. Perhaps it can be a little restrained in its actions.
When she arrived in Pattaya, her behavior immediately became radical and unscrupulous, and she brazenly launched a war-scale attack.
In this night attack against Moran, the Blood Skeleton Army under her command not only used rockets to cover the attack, but also used large-caliber mortars for intensive bombing.
Directly turning Pattaya, known as paradise on earth, into purgatory on earth.
The coverage bombing had just ended when countless black-armored warriors armed with a variety of special weapons charged towards the villa complex like a tide.
The villa complex where Moran lives is only 800 meters away from the headquarters of the Han and Tang legions. If they marched normally, they could arrive in 3 minutes at the latest.
However, the station of the Han and Tang legions was also attacked by artillery fire for the first time.
The unexpected sneak attack not only destroyed the arsenals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but also destroyed most of the mobile forces, leaving the Han and Tang armies in chaos and suffering heavy casualties.
Currently, the injured Tang Li is trying his best to stabilize the situation, reorganize the entire team, and direct the artillery to counterattack, and is temporarily unable to support Moran.
However, Huo Wei and Ai Li, who were unscathed, had already left the camp in a few jeeps that could still move and quickly returned for reinforcements.
There are more than 50 two-story buildings built around Moran's villa, all of the same style. There are usually 300 gun-wielding elites led by Mo Li who are responsible for guarding Moran.
The sudden rockets and shelling killed more than half of Mo Li's men in an instant, and the rest were either wounded or in shock, with liver and gallbladder broken.
Most of Mo Li's men are brave men who have participated in gang fights and even gun battles, but these small scenes are not the same thing as the battlefield where gunfire rains down.
And the enemies they faced were not gang gunmen, but the Blood Skeleton Legion, which was more elite than the special forces.
And those bloody skeletons who are covered in iron armor, holding special rifles, and armed to the teeth are extremely powerful in combat.
With fast speed, accurate marksmanship, rich experience, tacit cooperation, and fearlessness, they are simply humanoid weapons born for killing.
Massacre, complete massacre!
Mo Li's men collapsed like flies, unable to make any effective counterattack. They were killed one after another and fell to the ground.
As he watched, the blood skeleton rushing forward was about to break through the last line of defense and attack Moran's villa directly.
"boom!"
At this moment, the heads of the two blood skeletons rushing in the front row suddenly exploded like rotten watermelons, and then the dull sound of gunfire was heard.
It's not killing two birds with one stone, but two large-caliber sniper rifles firing accurately and simultaneously, it sounds like there is only one sound!
With such a tacit understanding and accurate marksmanship, it was natural that Huo Wei and Ai Li arrived and came to the rescue in time.
"boom!"
There was another gunshot without any gap, and the two blood skeletons were shot in the head again without any suspense. They fell down one after another, followed by a third shot.
The Blood Skeletons reacted quickly. After only three shots, they had stopped advancing. At the same time, they shrank their formation and found bunkers respectively.
The villa where Moran lived was entirely built of reinforced concrete. Although it was damaged beyond recognition by the bombing, the main body did not collapse.
At this moment, there were a lot of people crowded into the anti-gun basement, which seemed a bit crowded. In addition to Moran and Joseph, there were also Amei, Boss Qin, and Hu Yaozi's family.
Amei was an orphan rescued by Du Weiguo on Hong Kong Island. He originally wanted her to be Zhao Yingnan's companion, but later in order to seek refuge, he followed her to Pattaya and never went back.
As for Boss Qin's family of four, Du Weiguo also casually rescued them outside Wulong Mansion, and usually takes care of Moran's daily life.
Moran was cold-faced and soft-hearted, and did not regard them as servants. He took them all to the underground bunker to avoid the bombardment.
However, they are all ordinary people. They are trembling with fear at this moment, huddled in the corner, their faces are pale, and they dare not even breathe.
Joseph's face didn't look good either. His little face was tense and livid. He was not frightened, but angry.
He was an orphan, wandering around the world all alone. He finally met Du Weiguo and found a stable place to stay.
After arriving in Pattaya, Moran and everyone else treated him very well. He always had good food, drink, clothing, and useful things. Moran even taught him Chinese personally.
In Joseph's heart, he had long regarded this place as his home. Now that his home was destroyed and his family members were killed, how could he not be angry? He was almost furious!
The moment Huo Wei and Ellie's gunfire rang out, Joseph became excited and his face turned red.
He suddenly picked up the communicator beside him and put it on his ear. Then a blue light flashed in his eyes and he slowly closed them.
Joseph, Huo Wei, and Ellie are equipped with Citi's most cutting-edge portable communicators, which can make real-time calls within a range of 1 kilometer.
After closing his eyes, Joseph shouted impatiently into the communicator:
"A quarter past 2:00, lying position, a quarter past 10:00! Standing position"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the low roar of the sniper rifle sounded again, and the two blood skeletons hiding behind the wall and the corner were instantly penetrated by bullets.
The thick cement walls and tough black iron armor were as if they were made of paper, without any hindrance.
Huo Wei and Ellie's sniper rifles are modified SVD, with the caliber increased to a terrifying 12.7 mm, the barrel lengthened, and the amount of primer powder increased.
The sniper rifles in their hands are terrifyingly powerful, with an effective range of up to a terrifying 1,500 meters, and can penetrate 35 mm tank armor within 300 meters.
The huge warhead hits the human body, and only the torso is hit, and the side will be shot to death. This thing can no longer be called a sniper rifle, it should be called a sniper cannon!
Of course, the price of such a magic modification is also high, that is, the recoil becomes so scary that if an ordinary person shoots it, no matter what the posture, bones and tendons are guaranteed to be broken.
However, Huo Weitai Ellie, who is also a transcendent, can deal with this recoil calmly, and can at least digest it after firing dozens of shots.
They are all super sharpshooters with amazing eyesight, but they cannot see through it after all.
But coupled with Joseph's telepathic positioning and the extremely powerful sniper cannon, you can hit the cow from across the mountain!
"11 o'clock sharp, lying position! 12:30, crouching position!"
Joseph kept reporting the location, while Huo Wei and Ellie kept firing. In just ten seconds, more than 30 blood skeletons fell to the ground.
All the blood skeletons near Moran's residence were swept away, and the remaining black armors were all lying on the ground, or huddled in the corner and did not dare to move.
Behind the Blood Skull Front, at the base of a collapsed villa, squatted an exceptionally tall black-armored warrior, shouting loudly into the intercom:
"Coordinates 32, 46! Coordinates 32, 46! Fire immediately, fire immediately!"
"Boohoo!"
Before he finished speaking, the shrill sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, like a ghost demanding life. This was the roar of a 135mm heavy artillery.
However, the shells were fired from behind the villas, targeting a jungle a few kilometers away from the villas.
The big man in black armor looked up at the dazzling tracers in the night sky and murmured to himself unconsciously:
"When did they have a 135mm howitzer? Did Citigroup take action?"
"Boom~Boom~"
The next second, the King of Land Warfare showed his power, the earth shook and the mountains shook, fire shot into the sky, and the jungle was instantly engulfed in flames.
At the same time, Tang Li's cold and quiet voice also sounded from the walkie-talkie next to Huo Wei:
"Chief instructor, all the artillery battalions are in place. The first and third brigades will be here soon!"
The Han and Tang dynasties had a total of four brigades, all of which were battalion-level units, but now only two brigades could be dispatched. The fate of the other two brigades was self-evident.
Even if the entire army was not wiped out, at least it was disabled by the bomb.
As soon as he heard this, Huo Wei's heart started to bleed, and his pupils instantly filled with blood. He grabbed the walkie-talkie fiercely, and yelled at the walkie-talkie in a hoarse voice:
"300 meters directly in front of Triss Mansion, 500 meters wide, all mortars, 6 rounds of rapid fire! Then the firepower will be extended, kill these bastards for me!"
Ellie also added quietly, this woman doesn't talk much:
"The two brigades circled left and right, and no enemy was allowed to let go." (End of this chapter)
