Chapter 289: 288 Remote Electrotherapy

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground, among the assault squad advancing neatly at the bottom of the airship tower, a breakthrough soldier holding a pneumatic shield suddenly swayed, his eyes rolled back, and he fell directly.

"Enemy attack!"

The sergeant who noticed this scene was shocked, immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse and deploy, and called the support squad in the rear, hoping to get firepower suppression.

However, even though the support squad quickly followed, swept through every place where people might be hiding, and even dismantled part of the floor, they still couldn't find the attacker's figure.

What was even more fatal was that from the moment the first breakthrough soldier fell, as if some unknown epidemic was spreading rapidly, one soldier after another rolled their eyes and fell down one after another.

Whether they were hiding behind the pneumatic shield, behind the steel beams of the airship tower, or simply retreating into a room that had been swept, they still couldn't stop the attacker's attack. The breakthrough soldiers not only couldn't find the opponent's position, but didn't even understand how their teammates were lying down.

Everyone was clearly hiding honestly behind the cover, and no limbs were exposed, but it was as if they were being called out by the Grim Reaper one by one. Every few seconds, one would roll their eyes and lie down, and the rate of attrition was accelerating!

"Retreat! Front team becomes rear team, breakthrough soldiers hold shields to cover the rear, retreat quickly!"

When the thirtieth soldier also lay down and inexplicably lost consciousness, the sergeant who was gritting his teeth and persisting couldn't bear the pressure anymore, directly issued the order to terminate the sweep and retreat downward immediately, making everyone feel relieved involuntarily.

Unfortunately, the soldiers couldn't relax for long.

Although the number of soldiers suddenly fainting decreased after the assault group began to retreat, after less than ten seconds, the "Grim Reaper" who had never shown his face followed them down.

In the terrified expressions of the soldiers, people kept rolling their eyes while retreating and fell down without warning. Even in the support squad in front, people began to roll over suddenly, blocking the path of retreat.

He wants to annihilate us!

After realizing the intention of the "Grim Reaper," looking at those teammates on the ground whose life or death was unknown, the soldiers of the assault group became more and more panicked.

At the beginning, there were still sergeants trying to maintain order. After the sergeant also rolled his eyes and fell, the originally orderly retreat became completely chaotic.

One soldier after another, with eyes full of terror, threw away the heavy equipment on their bodies and began to rush downward in a scramble. People kept falling down suddenly, and people were constantly tripped by teammates who fell down, and then they also instantly fainted under the "roll call" of the "Grim Reaper."

Less than two minutes passed, and on the stairs of more than five hundred steps, nearly a hundred people had fallen one after another.

Whether it was the assault squad that entered first or the support squad that arrived later, everyone had lost consciousness and lay neatly on the ground. The huge airship tower became completely quiet. Except for the breathing of the fainted people, no other sound could be heard.

……

A bit too arrogant...

After confirming that everyone who entered the airship tower had been knocked down, Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who had activated the Holy Spirit pendant hundreds of times in a row, couldn't help but let out a long breath and reached out to rub his temples, which were aching on both sides.

Under the premise of not wanting to cause a large number of deaths, the mental shock ability of the Holy Spirit pendant was stable and efficient. It could knock down targets without showing his face, and the physical strength consumed during activation could be paid by 【War Diagonal】. Theoretically, it was the fastest and safest way to fight.

Unfortunately, although 【War Diagonal】 could infinitely replenish physical strength, it couldn't make up for the mental loss.

Every time he launched a mental shock with the help of the 【Holy Spirit pendant】, he was shaking the opponent's will with his own will. It was almost equivalent to someone practicing iron-head kung fu using their head to open watermelons one by one. If he opened too many, he would get a concussion himself.

If it weren't for the completely unknown means, which caused the soldiers of the assault squad to feel fear and their fighting spirit to collapse rapidly, these hundreds of contests of will alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Must change the way!

After estimating his state and feeling that relying on mental shock alone shouldn't be able to handle so many soldiers, Hearing Hearing Li Ang immediately changed his thinking, began to walk up again, and then in the middle section of the airship tower, set up the sniper rifle that had been gathering dust for a long time.

If he really used the Black Goat's ability to incite the guards to kill each other, he would definitely be able to retreat safely. But unlike the Laien Blood Night, these soldiers outside the tower were just doing their duty and hadn't committed any unforgivable sins.

He himself had the goat horn's 【Endless Blood Battle】, the goat heart's 【Domination Substitute】, and the 【Immortal in Wine】 as the final trump card, a full three kinds of life-saving means. It was really unnecessary to start a massacre.

Then the most suitable way at the moment was to temporarily knock out the command system of these soldiers, and then take advantage of the chaotic command to rush out, pretend to be finished off, complete the closed loop about the "future," and after Joshua's soul flame left, get up again and completely rush out of the encirclement!

Steady! Just do it!

……

Five fully armed elite squads were wiped out in just over two minutes from the first gunshot to the end?

Looking at the completely quiet airship tower, the officer waiting outside felt his palms begin to tremble slightly.

What on earth is the situation inside?

The people who just entered the airship tower, in addition to pneumatic shields and conventional light weapons, even had a medium-sized rapid-fire weapon. In a large-scale war, clearing a local stronghold is about this configuration.

If the assault squad and the support squad don't disconnect and maintain a slow advance upward, even if there are hundreds of rebels holding firearms ambushing inside, it is impossible to pose any threat to them.

Even if there are no rebels holding guns inside, but an army with the same configuration, with the elite level of the breakthrough soldiers, they should at least be able to last for a while, right? How come there was no movement in the time it took to catch a breath?

And just when the commander of the guard team was looking at the airship tower that seemed to eat people, hesitating whether to send someone in to see the situation, other armies that had set up checkpoints on the periphery had already rushed over in a hurry.

"Matthew! What's going on inside?!"

A tall commander found him surrounded by guards, grabbed the commander of the guard team who arrived first, and growled with a face full of anxiety:

"We set up so many checkpoints, why can people still mix in?

Also, where are your people? I just saw you let the breakthrough group go in, why is there no movement inside now? What is the situation inside the tower?"

"Inside the tower... careful!"

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the explosion of air being torn apart, a nail shot out suddenly from the middle of the airship tower, passed directly through the gap between the two pneumatic shields, and plunged into the ground not far away with a thud.

There's actually a sniper?

Looking at the crater only a step away from the two of them, the two commanders who had escaped death turned pale, and the cold sweat on their backs directly wetted the inner shirt of their uniforms, rejoicing that the sniper had missed, otherwise they would probably have to explain themselves on the spot.

However, before they could greet the guards, a small dog claw stretched out from the crater made by the nail, pushing out a strange dark purple crystal.

This is... lightning ore?!

Recognizing that this strange crystal that suddenly appeared was the lightning ore stored in the airship's cargo hold, the two commanders' pupils shrank, and then they turned and ran.

Unfortunately, before they could complete the turning action, the small dog claw slammed down hard, the dark purple lightning ore shattered in response, and a large number of jumping electric arcs instantly jumped out, completely submerging the two figures! ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
