Chapter 647 644: [Who Is This Person?]
The base transport vehicle outside drove up to the fortification gate and stopped. It quickly turned around, positioning its rear to face the gate...
Chen Nuo and Vanel had already stepped out of the fortification, and the only three remaining soldiers under Vanel's command jumped onto the transport vehicle and began to work rapidly.
Strictly speaking, what this transport vehicle was carrying was... a cannon.
By Chen Nuo's military standards, it was easy to see that this was a standard anti-tank cannon.
Commonly known as an anti-tank gun.
·
This thing should be considered an outdated relic.
With two wheels below, it could be pushed around. Behind the barrel, at the firing position, there was an iron shield.
Hmm, the Italian cannon that Li Yunlong shouted about in "Liang Jian" is exactly this kind of thing.
These things were widely used during WWI and WWII, serving as a weapon for the army infantry units.
In later times—this kind of thing had gradually been phased out.
Most major national armies didn't care much for using this any more.
It's quite a task to take on tanks with it—limited by its caliber, while if you wanted a larger-caliber gun, it couldn't be moved.
And the history of military development gradually clarified one thing: when it comes to artillery versus artillery, the best thing to deal with tanks is more tanks.
For greater siege demands, missiles could be directly employed.
The anti-tank cannon gradually became obsolete.
Chen Nuo quickly jumped to the back of the vehicle and glanced at Vanel: "Where did you dig up this antique?"
Vanel twitched his nose and grinned, "We captured it from a local ragtag militia during a previous operation. I brought it back as a collector's item. There are only three shells left."
Vanel's men were already swiftly operating the gun carriage, loading, adjusting...
And Chen Nuo had already dashed to the rear of the vehicle, turned his head, and saw Vanel crouching beside him, lowering himself under the vehicle, shouting, "Blow open that door!!"
As Chen Nuo squatted down and covered his ears with both hands... a loud boom sounded, and the transport vehicle shook a few times.
The first shell was fired inside the fortification!
The shockwave and vibration made Chen Nuo take a few deep breaths before standing up. By this time, shouts and gunfire had already erupted from the distant barracks in the base.
Vanel frowned: "The other troops in the base have reacted... We don't have much time."
With that, he directly pulled out a remote, then dragged Chen Nuo down to the ground.
Chen Nuo took one look, didn't have time to say anything, just immediately went prone, covering his head with both hands, supporting himself on his elbows, chest slightly off the ground...
As Vanel pressed the button on the remote... explosions erupted in four or five places in the nearby barracks!
With explosions scattering in all directions in the camp, moments later, Chen Nuo felt a wave of shock hit him, a gust swept through the base, dust filling the sky.
Chen Nuo spat fiercely several times: "How many explosives did you plant over in the barracks?"
"Not much, I used up all the TNT allocated to my squad," Vanel also spat: "This should mess them up for a while."
As he spoke, Vanel grabbed Chen Nuo's collar, snarling: "Don't you have precognition? Tell me! Can we succeed in this mission? I don't intend to die here!"
Chen Nuo shook his head: "Stop wasting time, get to work!"
The three soldiers who fired the first shell earlier clearly weren't skilled enough; the first shell aimed at the thick defensive door in the fortification unfortunately missed its mark.
Chen Nuo knew he couldn't blame these soldiers... after all, they weren't professional artillerymen.
However, after the second shell was fired, this time there was a cheer!
With dust flying, everyone coughed and laughed loudly, Chen Nuo ducked behind the vehicle, poking his head out to look inside the fortification...
The door had clearly been deformed, caved in, and the door had swung ajar, revealing a gap just wide enough for an adult to squeeze through.
Vanel rejoiced and stopped his men from firing further shells, instead leading his team to rush inside.
A wave of suppressive fire was directed at the damaged door gap, and their own men took the opportunity to swiftly advance.
When they reached the gate, Vanel quickly pulled out two grenades and threw them into the gap...
Chen Nuo, who had already entered, saw Vanel hurl the grenades and immediately found cover, crouching down behind it without hesitation.
Two explosions sounded from inside the door.
As Vanel shouted, three soldiers charged inside with their guns, blindly firing through the door gap.
And just as the soldiers were about to throw more grenades...
Suddenly, the ajar door was abruptly pulled open!
A soldier firing from the door fell directly to the ground! Behind the door, two figures rushed out at lightning speed!
The soldier who had fallen was kicked away, and as he soared through the air, Chen Nuo clearly saw his neck twisted at an unnatural angle!
The other two soldiers fired quickly in the heat of the moment, but the two figures that rushed out were too fast, and the distance was too close, directly charging into the midst of the two soldiers.
One of the figures clearly took a bullet, but only staggered without falling, then reached out and appeared to punch, a muffled noise followed, and a soldier under Vanel's command was punched straight through.
The other soldier retreated rapidly, his automatic rifle blazing until the clip emptied.
This maneuver was somewhat effective; the figure in front of him was clearly hit, having taken shots squarely in the chest and abdomen, after staggering several times, seemed to lose steadiness.
But another figure was already closing in, delivering a kick to the soldier's abdomen.
He spat a large mouthful of blood and was flung backwards.
·
Vanel roared and leaped forward!
The two figures that rushed out from the room were elite masters of the base, both were Special Ability Users assigned to protect the Mother Clone, this "Commander".
Seeing Vanel charge forward, the bullet-wounded one barely turned around, exchanging blows with Vanel before spitting blood and retreating.
The other yelled, grabbing Vanel by the waist, executing a classic American-style body slam like a tiger pouncing, sending Vanel hurtling to the ground!
Vanel growled continuously, his muscles swelling rapidly, his entire being resembling a furious polar bear.
However, the one holding him was also apparently a Body Technique Special Ability User, only slightly less powerful than Vanel in terms of strength. Struggling intensely, Vanel couldn't shake him off for the moment, only gripping the other's arms, wrestling fiercely, while elbowing the opponent's waist and ribs viciously.
That Special Ability User clearly couldn't withstand it, yet with blood and spit oozing from his mouth, stubbornly refused to let go.
Chen Nuo had already leapt out from behind cover, charging to the side of the two, drawing his gun, and placing the barrel against the Special Ability User's head.
Bam!
A bullet went straight through that person's head, blood and brain matter splattering out, giving both Chen Nuo and Vanel, pinned under the corpse, a face full.
Vanel spat fiercely again, exerting himself to push the corpse off.
Chen Nuo glanced at Vanel: "Go!"
Vanel got up, rushed to the door, but soon, gunfire rang out from inside.
Vanel immediately crouched down, a bullet struck the door frame beside his head, sparks flying.
"Not dead yet? How tenacious!"
Chen Nuo rushed to Vanel's side, shouting inside: "Mother!!!"
The lights in the room had already extinguished, it was dim, and there was considerable dust.
Chen Nuo shouted twice, but the Mother Clone inside did not answer, evidently refusing to fall for the trick, unwilling to reveal its position.
Chen Nuo didn't care about anything else, he first fired a burst of bullets inside, then took out two grenades from his tactical vest.
He pulled the pins one by one and threw them into the room... Relying on his memory of being in this room before, Chen Nuo deliberately aimed the grenades at two different locations to achieve a larger explosion coverage.
After two explosions, the room fell silent.
"Are they dead?" Vanel looked at Chen Nuo and asked in a low voice.
Chen Nuo shook his head, "I don't know... why don't you go in and take a look?"
"I'm a Body Technique Special Ability User, not with an Undying Body! And... I haven't leveled up to a Destroyer yet, my body's toughness can't withstand bullets!"
Vanel shook his head wildly, refusing to be cannon fodder.
Alright then, Chen Nuo sighed inwardly.
Clearly, in 1999, Vanel was weaker than he would be a few years later.
A whole level lower.
·
Chen Nuo thought for a moment, quickly took the coat off a corpse on the ground beside him, and wrapped a piece of concrete from the ground with it, throwing it into the room...
Bam!
A dull thud sounded, the object was thrown not far inside the door.
But soon, gunshots rang out from inside.
Bang bang bang!
Three consecutive shots were fired near the spot where the coat landed.
"Still not dead? How is this guy so lucky?" Vanel shook his head.
Chen Nuo's face also darkened...
Does this Mother Clone have a Heavenly Destiny Halo?
The command room inside isn't that big... Four grenades were thrown in one after another, and two bursts of bullets were fired inside!
Even if they were all blind shots, it shouldn't be completely unscathed, right?
Chen Nuo took out a tactical flashlight from himself, turned it on, and quickly threw it into the room while also fearlessly dashing inside!
He charged in the opposite direction of where he threw the flashlight! Just as he rushed into the room, two shots were fired at the spot where the tactical flashlight landed.
But Chen Nuo quickly rolled to the ground and entered the command room.
And at that moment, taking advantage of the light from the tactical flashlight that had fallen not far away, he finally saw the scene in the room clearly!
The metal long table at the farthest front of the original command room had been pushed over to the ground, and on the side of the table, half a gun barrel was sticking out!
Chen Nuo took a deep breath and turned back to make two hand signals to Vanel.
Vanel understood, shouted loudly, raised his M4, and fired a burst in the direction Chen Nuo indicated.
Catching the opportunity, Chen Nuo dashed out and jumped over to the other end of the long table!
Behind the table, a figure lay on the ground, and Chen Nuo, unable to see clearly in the dark, pounced directly onto the body, pressing the muzzle of his gun almost into the opponent's lower back!
Bam bam bam...
In burst mode, Chen Nuo pulled the trigger, emptying a whole magazine!
The person beneath him initially twitched but then went still.
Chen Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and saw the person's waist was almost torn apart by bullets, blood and flesh indistinct.
But as Vanel broke in, holding a flashlight down...
Chen Nuo's face suddenly changed!!
Though this corpse was lying face down, back to Chen Nuo, it was clear that this person was bald!!
Definitely not the Mother Clone!
·
He turned to look at Vanel, pointing at the corpse on the ground, "Fuck! Who is this?!"
Vanel was stunned, then flipped the body over with one hand, frowning, "This is Major Henkel, the original top commander of the base..."
"He's not the target!" Chen Nuo gritted his teeth, "The one I wanted to kill is the parachute guy who arrived in the past few days... that guy..."
Vanel's face also looked grim, shaking his head, "I know... but I haven't seen the person you mentioned either. Ever since that guy arrived at the base, he's been hiding in this command room, never coming out to show his face.
I didn't know when the old commander of the base came back here again..."
Chen Nuo took a deep breath and decisively said, "No time left... we have to leave here immediately."
Vanel didn't waste any more words, picked up the flashlight, and quickly scanned the room to ensure nothing was left unnoticed, then took Chen Nuo and ran out rapidly.
·
As they ran out of the fortification, they saw the direction of the distant camp, where the gunfire had already ceased.
Evidently, the explosion Vanel orchestrated, though caused a short internal chaos, quickly restored some order.
And the gunfire and explosions at the location of the defensive fortification's command room clearly drew the attention of the stationed troops at the camp.
Chen Nuo and Vanel already saw two teams of black-clad soldiers flanking them from both sides.
Chen Nuo looked at Vanel, "Where's the vehicle you prepared for extraction?"
"Follow me," Vanel said quickly, "It's at the rear of the camp, I've got a guy there watching over it."
·
As they retreated, their figures were evidently spotted by soldiers rushing from the base, and they were ordered to stop with a series of shouts—The two, of course, couldn't comply and instead increased their running speed, obviously fleeing toward a location with cover.
Therefore, the other side opened fire without hesitation!
A burst of bullets forced both of them to flee in panic, and they quickly found their path blocked by the opponent's firepower. With no choice, they changed direction and ran toward a nearby warehouse area.
Behind them, two teams, with at least over fifty soldiers, had already caught up, and were clearly positioning for an encirclement.
Chen Nuo and Vanel exchanged a glance, both with very grim expressions.
"One last option." Vanel gritted his teeth, "I'll wear the bulletproof vest and act as MT, charging straight out. With the protection of the vest, ordinary bullets can't hurt me, and I'll unleash my Body Technique to its fullest, I can break into their ranks and disrupt their formation — Once the center is breached, they won't be able to shoot, they will lose their firepower advantage...
And you... you have to stick close to me, if you can't keep up, I can't turn back to save you."
Vanel was speaking loudly as he grabbed Chen Nuo's shoulders, yet as he spoke, he noticed Chen Nuo's face drifted, with his eyes looking up behind him...
"Sukabule! What the hell are you looking at! Now isn't the time to zone out!!" Vanel couldn't help but curse, but suddenly saw an expression of ecstasy erupt on Chen Nuo's face.
Next, Vanel looked at this guy in front of him dumbfounded, breaking free from his grip, suddenly jumped up, and started waving both hands vigorously towards the sky.
"Here!! Here!! Here!!! Damn you, old man, why are you so late!!! Here!!!!!"
Vanel spun around suddenly, his face changing drastically.
In the air, a figure engulfed in flames came roaring toward them!
"Who's this flaming idiot showing up like this, so arrogant?" exclaimed Bear Warrior loudly.
Chen Nuo: "... Son of the Sun."
Bear Warrior swallowed, then quickly switched tones, "This radiant figure, who inspires awe at first sight, is obviously a supreme powerhouse!"
