Chapter 110: Paratroopers are forever the most reliable

"War God Ares"

"God?! Does God really exist?!"

"Heavens, this graduation thesis has plenty to write about; the professor should give full marks."

"Thesis? Brother, after discovering all this, you still want to write a thesis??"

Besides shock, the students showed varying degrees of excitement and delight.

This is a great discovery capable of changing the world!

Although skeletons are ultimately dead objects, this place possesses a well-preserved female giant's body, as well as a spear and sword akin to divine artifacts.

As a previous student said, what thesis is there left to write?

At this moment, Ada walked up beside Leon and whispered: "Newbie, have you uploaded the situation?"

"I already uploaded it." Leon said calmly, as if he were used to being called a newbie.

"Oh? I thought you'd be dumbfounded seeing these giants." Ada showed surprise.

However, Ada's control over her facial expressions was superb, and Leon could not tell whether her surprise was genuine.

But he patiently replied: "I've wanted to say I'm not a newbie; you just won't listen."

"Not a newbie, then why take a taxi to the US Military base? No driver's license? Or can't you drive?" Ada asked in succession.

"Uh!" Leon was at a loss for words.

How should I answer this?

He himself didn't know; he couldn't very well say it seemed like the company was deliberately guarding against him.

"Haha~."

Seeing Leon's embarrassed look, Ada couldn't help but raise her left hand to cover her mouth and laughed out loud.

This time, her smile seemed genuine.

"You have news!"

Leon was about to say something when he noticed that the shore of Blood Lake seemed to have a few figures flicker by.

Hearing that, Ada immediately restrained her smile, turned, and looked in the direction Leon was gazing.

All that could be seen was that at the rock‑wall cave mouth on the north shore of Blood Lake, four "people" suddenly walked out.

Those four "people" were estimated to be over 2.5 meters tall, with deathly pale skin, black long hair, and their eyes emitted a chilling red light.

Their gender could not be determined from their physique.

But their features resembled those of the female giant nailed to the rock wall.

They might be of the same species.

"Are those living giants?"

"They look really scary."

"Shh, keep it down."

The students also noticed those four giants, heightened their vigilance, and observed their every move.

Along the way, the students speculated that the battle that had taken place here was likely related to ethnicity.

To humanity, the four giants in view were absolutely not a friendly race.

"Ao?!" (x4)

The four giants preparing to go to the lake to drink blood also noticed the archaeological team less than two hundred meters away, causing them to emit sounds that seemed to express doubt.

"Ao! Ao!!!" (x4)

But immediately afterward, those four giants pounded their chests with both hands, lifted their heads, and let out an extremely loud roar.

"Ao——" The unique roar echoed, reverberating throughout the entire underground space.

!!!

"They're calling their kind! Go! Quickly go!" Experienced Leon immediately realized.

He hurriedly drew the Um-8 from his quick‑draw holster, rushed forward away from the crowd, and pointed the muzzle at the group of giants.

"Ao——~!"

Just then, more howls came from not far away.

Within a few seconds, a large number of deathly pale giants surged out of that cave, rushing madly toward the archaeological team.

"Run! Run fast!"

"Professor! Run fast!"

The students, likewise having recovered, hurriedly turned back and ran off on foot.

"Kids, run fast—cough! cough!"

Silas, who was urging the students to flee, suddenly had an asthma attack.

After all, he's up in years and can't take too much stimulation, but today's stimulation level was maxed out.

"Professor, let me carry you!"

A strong‑built student squatted before Silas and directly hoisted him onto his back.

He adjusted his posture after standing up, then followed the other students as they ran away from here.

"Tap! Tap!"

Gunshots rang out from behind the crowd, indicating that Leon had already begun exchanging fire with the group of giants.

"Miss Wang, run fast." Silas turned his head, wanting to warn Ada, who seemed as fragile as a delicate flower.

At this moment, Ada did not respond; instead, with a solemn expression she unzipped her leather jacket and drew from her under‑arm holster an 8mm caliber pulse pistol, the same as Leon's.

Seeing Ada also draw her gun, Silas said nothing further, so as not to disturb Ada and Leon's thinking and judgment.

Siles understood that at this moment, all they needed to do was focus on fleeing; in fact, that was the maximum help they could give Leon and Ada.

The scene shifted.

Leon, who had previously broken away from the crowd, saw the giant charging at the front; the instant it entered his firing range, he pulled the trigger.

"Tap—!" the 8mm shell-less pulse ammo ejected from the chamber.

"Pfft!" the bullet head pierced straight into the giant's skull.

With a "Pong~!" the bullet head underwent a secondary explosion, causing the giant's skull to blast apart from inside out.

"Thud!" the headless torso of the giant, due to inertia, fell forward and finally lay motionless on the ground.

Dead?

Leon's shot left the charging giants stunned, and they all stopped, turning their gaze to that headless corpse.

They couldn't figure out how their companion's head had just exploded.

"Whoosh~!" Leon, however, secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Being able to be killed with a single headshot shows that these giants can be physically eliminated; at least they are not some illusory demonic anomaly.

Moreover, judging by their hesitant reaction, they appear to possess a certain degree of intelligence.

"Roar!"

But the giants merely hesitated for a moment, then continued charging at Leon.

"Tap! Tap!"

After Leon symbolically took down a few giants, he immediately turned and withdrew without hesitation.

Seeing that a few more of their companions had died, the giants were not frightened; instead, it stirred their ferocity!

Baring fangs and claws, they pursued Leon, their ugly faces and expressions seeming to want to swallow him whole.

"Tap! Tap!"

Ada, who had rushed over, aimed her gun at Leon's rear, and while pulling the trigger, she loudly reminded:

"Rookie! Alternate covering fire!"

"Good!"

Thereafter, the two retreated in alternating shifts, mutually assisting to hold off those giants.

Soon they successfully withdrew into the city interior, but the giants drew ever closer, and their ammunition was nearly exhausted.

At this rate, if nothing unexpected happened, they would soon become the giants' feast.

But an unexpected turn of events completely broke the deadlock for Leon and Ada.

"Stomp! Stomp!"

The noise of the TPS Power Armor sprinting at full speed reached the ears of Ada and Leon, who were likewise running down the street.

Looking ahead, they saw troops equipped with TPS Power Armor, wearing custom-made HellParatrooper helmets.

As a senior intelligence officer, Leon immediately called for the most reliable paratrooper support.

"We've spotted our two scouts!"

"Spread out! Spread out! Deploy formation!"

"Abnormal creatures in sight! Open fire!"

"Tap! Tap! Tap!" the pulse-series gunfire roared.

"Howl..." along with the giants' wails, echoing throughout the ruined city.
