Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Picked It Up
Just then, a red figure suddenly burst out from the side.
"Watch out!"
Luoxue shouted a warning and quickly dodged.
A soldier was instantly seized by a monster that stood 3.5 meters tall, its body covered in red bumps, resembling a massive wolfhound.
"Aaaargh!"
Along with a horrific scream, the soldier was bitten in two, sending blood and gore flying everywhere!
Luoxue and the others immediately opened fire on the massive Blood Breath Dog.
BANG! BANG!
The dense volley of bullets struck its body, only barely breaking the skin. The slugs simply bounced off and fell to the ground.
The Blood Breath Dog savagely pounced on another soldier.
"I’ll take you with me!"
The soldier pulled the pin on a grenade at his waist.
BOOM!
The massive explosion only left a scorched patch on the Blood Breath Dog’s body.
"Rocket launcher!"
Luoxue commanded immediately.
Soldiers hoisted rocket launchers onto their shoulders and fired at the Blood Breath Dog.
The Blood Breath Dog was incredibly fast, leaping and dodging at high speed.
One rocket after another was evaded.
"Dammit, where are you aiming? Give it to me!"
Jing Chuan grew furious at the sight. He snatched the rocket launcher from a nearby soldier and aimed at the Blood Breath Dog.
WHOOSH!
The Blood Breath Dog was instantly hit by the rocket.
BOOM!
The massive explosion sent it flying.
"Nice! A direct hit!"
Jing Chuan exclaimed excitedly.
But before Jing Chuan could celebrate, the gigantic Blood Breath Dog, now a mangled mess of flesh and blood, staggered back to its feet and charged straight for him.
Jing Chuan’s expression changed. He immediately tossed aside the rocket launcher.
He raised his automatic rifle and fired rapidly, trying to stop the monster.
Unfortunately, the dense spray of bullets had no effect on the giant Blood Breath Dog.
"Jing Chuan, get out of the way!"
Luoxue saw something was wrong and yelled to Jing Chuan.
Just as Jing Chuan was about to dodge, the giant Blood Breath Dog leaped at him.
’It’s over.’
Jing Chuan’s heart trembled, and a chilling despair washed over him, as if he’d been plunged into an icy abyss.
Just then, a black figure rushed over at incredible speed, grabbed Jing Chuan, and leaped away!
THUD!
The giant Blood Breath Dog landed on empty ground.
Jing Chuan was stunned. When he came to his senses, he saw a man in a full suit of black exoskeleton mechanical armor standing before him.
Long Ming raised the uniquely designed automatic rifle in his hands and opened fire on the giant Blood Breath Dog.
BANG! BANG!
The bullets slammed into the giant Blood Breath Dog’s head, punching holes into its mangled face.
"AWOOOO!"
The Blood Breath Dog shrieked in pain and retreated.
Then, Long Ming pulled out a spinning grenade, primed it, and threw it at the Blood Breath Dog.
KABOOM!
A massive explosion swept through the area.
The Blood Breath Dog’s right forelimb was blown clean off.
Long Ming took out more spinning grenades, throwing them one after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The giant Blood Breath Dog’s body was blown apart piece by piece. Finally, with a defiant death howl, it crashed to the ground.
Dark red blood stained the entire area.
"So badass!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"That was incredible! But... who are you?"
Jing Chuan excitedly slapped Long Ming on the shoulder, then suddenly realized his mistake and asked in astonishment.
Luoxue and the others were also surprised. ’Who is this guy?’
At that moment, Long Ming reached up, removed his helmet, and said with a smile.
"It’s me."
"Long Ming?"
Jing Chuan was stunned.
When Fu Fuqing saw it was Long Ming, his brow furrowed deeply.
Luoxue looked at Long Ming with some surprise and asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"Here to help, of course."
Long Ming replied with a smile.
’Good thing I was smart enough to follow the armored vehicle’s tracks.’
"Great. But where did you get this gear? And your weapon is so powerful!"
Jing Chuan asked, looking dubiously at Long Ming’s equipment and weapon.
"Would you believe me if I said I found it on the road?"
Long Ming explained with a wry smile.
"Like hell I do! How come we can’t find anything like it?"
Jing Chuan almost cursed out loud when he heard Long Ming’s reply.
"Alright, enough of that. We need to get up there and rescue Qian Lan and the others."
Luoxue interrupted the conversation between Jing Chuan and Long Ming.
"Right."
Long Ming put his helmet back on.
Luoxue led them up toward the fortress on the hill.
Along the way, Blood Breath Dogs kept leaping out. Long Ming raised his gun and fired continuously in controlled bursts.
BANG! BANG!
Any Blood Breath Dog he hit had a hole punched straight through its body as the bullet passed clean through.
Even if it wasn’t a fatal shot to a vital area, it still caused significant damage.
In contrast, Jing Chuan and the others were cursing up a storm.
"Fuck, our weapons are total crap!"
There’s nothing like a direct comparison to make you feel inadequate.
Jing Chuan and his men had been able to tolerate their substandard weapons, but seeing them next to Long Ming’s was driving them crazy.
Just then, Long Ming grabbed a spinning grenade and threw it toward a group of Blood Breath Dogs charging at them.
KABOOM!
A huge explosion erupted, sending the Blood Breath Dogs flying. A few survived, but they were no longer a threat.
Seeing this, Luoxue said to Long Ming.
"Give me one!"
Long Ming immediately unclipped the other rifle from his pack and tossed it to Luoxue, along with several magazines.
Luoxue deftly caught the weapon and magazines, then started picking off the attacking Blood Breath Dogs with quick, controlled shots.
BANG! BANG!
One charging Blood Breath Dog after another was killed.
Luoxue and Long Ming worked together to clear a path, leading the group as they fought their way forward.
However, just as they neared the summit, swarms of Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts suddenly poured out from the buildings ahead—at least seven or eight hundred of them.
"Why are there so many?"
Zhihan and the others were stunned at the sight.
’This is bad.’
Long Ming’s heart sank. Even though their group was sizable, they wouldn’t necessarily have the advantage in a fight like this.
Luoxue looked up at the fortress on the hilltop. The monsters were already swarming it. The situation was clearly critical. She immediately commanded:
"Attack!"
Hearing Luoxue’s order, Long Ming and the others unleashed a furious assault on the emerging monsters.
BANG! BANG!
The swarms of monsters charged through the hail of bullets. The ones at the front fell one by one.
But the monsters behind them just clambered over the corpses of their fallen comrades and lunged straight for the soldiers.
"Aaargh!"
One soldier after another was tackled to the ground, their necks bitten through.
Long Ming immediately turned his rifle, picking off the Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts that were on the soldiers.
Just then, a smaller Blood Breath Dog took the opportunity to lunge at Long Ming.
Long Ming’s expression hardened. He activated his Night Ghost exoskeleton armor, extended his left hand, and caught the pouncing Blood Breath Dog by the head, slamming it hard into the ground!
SLAM!
Long Ming followed up with a kick that sent it flying, then finished it off with a few more shots.
Now, more Blood Breath Dogs charged toward Long Ming.
He quickly pulled out another spinning grenade and threw it!
KABOOM!
The massive explosion blew the attacking Blood Breath Dogs away, but the situation didn’t improve. In fact, it was getting worse.
"Aaargh!"
Soldier after soldier was taken down, forcing Luoxue and the others to fall back continuously.
And just as their offensive faltered, a deafening noise suddenly filled the sky.
