Chapter 1386: Battlefield
A whistling sound tore through the night sky. A shell rotated slowly in the air and finally landed on the edge of a trench.
Boom!
The firelight drove away some of the darkness. Mud splashed at the landing point of the shell, and the scattered mud hit a scorched tree trunk. This big tree, which did not know how many times it had been burned, was beaten into a sieve.
Just the mud blown up by the shell had the power comparable to a shotgun. One could imagine the lethality at the center of the explosion.
The orange firelight gradually dissipated, and a faint scorched smell permeated the air. This was the unique smell after white gunpowder burned. I don't know which genius formulated this "Bai Lin Acidic Gunpowder" whose kinetic energy was hundreds of times stronger than ordinary gunpowder. That genius's initial idea was to provide it to humans as energy, but alas, "Bai Lin Acidic Gunpowder" was used for war.
White gunpowder + firearms made of spiral steel—there was almost nothing that could not be penetrated. Ordinary steel was as fragile as a piece of paper. The only things that could play a defensive role were spiral steel and Lomis crystals.
1 gram of Lomis crystal was worth 15 million Langke, so this thing was destined not to be used for war.
In the trench under the night, Su Xiao patted the mud on his head. According to his visual estimation, if a white gunpowder shell landed within 3 meters of him, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The shell was filled with compressed white gunpowder. The instantaneous explosive power of this thing was even stronger than Apollo.
Not only Su Xiao, but all contractors in this world dared not take white gunpowder shells head-on. A heavy tank once accidentally took one, and the result was that the heavy tank's teammates had to pack him up; that guy was blown to pieces.
Contractors could kill in all directions on a cold weapon battlefield, but on this Tier 4 high-intensity battlefield, as long as their brains were normal, they would not easily jump out of the trench.
With Su Xiao's survival ability, he could take at most 8-10 shots, and if it was a heavy machine gun sweep, it would be ominous.
The physical fitness of humans in this world was not very strong. Trained ordinary soldiers had strength, agility, and physique attributes of about 30-40 points, while civilians were about 10 points, and some attributes were about 8 points.
Geya Alliance soldiers were like this, and the ordinary soldiers on the Sun Kingdom side were about the same. There were not many Divine Envoys with powerful melee capabilities.
In this general environment, this world was judged as a Tier 4 high-intensity battlefield. One could imagine the power of firearms. A round of small-scale concentrated fire—no contractor could withstand it.
Or rather, all the soldiers on the battlefield, after holding white gunpowder + spiral steel firearms, had the attack power of Tier 4 contractors, only their speed and survival ability were relatively weak.
If a Tier 3 contractor encountered such soldiers, after opening the distance and 1v1, as long as the Tier 3 contractor took one shot, the battle would basically be declared over.
Su Xiao had long since noticed this point, so the probability of him dying on the battlefield was not low. This sense of oppression and crisis made his blood flow faster and his limbs more flexible.
Su Xiao leaned against the front side of the trench and pushed aside a soldier beside him whose head had been smashed by a stone. This guy was relatively unlucky. After the shell blew up the mud, a stone the size of a soybean penetrated through the gap in the spiral steel plate and shot him in the head directly.
Mud, stones, and even tree bark—everything blown up by the shell was a murder weapon. This was the Blue Sea Star. Now, Su Xiao was in the Lanchuan war zone.
The Lanchuan war zone was the border between the Geya Alliance and the Sun Kingdom. Both major countries continued to expand, but neither would occupy the Lanchuan war zone. This place was a war buffer zone left intentionally.
The two major countries went to war not for reasons of justice, crusade, etc. The purpose of the war was only one: resources.
The Blue Sea Star was not enough to nurture two major countries for a long time. Before resources were completely exhausted, the two major countries would inevitably have a battle. The current war was like this. The defeated side would decline rapidly and eventually become a small country or be directly destroyed.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of mud permeated the trench. It was now 11:00 PM. The 12th Regiment Su Xiao currently belonged to was engaging with a certain tank division of the Sun Kingdom.
According to Su Xiao's observation, there was an enemy trench about 700 meters away. This was already the front line of the battlefield. Behind Su Xiao was the Geya Alliance army, and in front was the Sun Kingdom army.
As for which unit the enemy was, it was temporarily unknown, only knowing that the other party was a tank division.
A regiment of the Geya Alliance certainly could not fight against a division of the Sun Kingdom. The enemy's tank division stretched horizontally, engaging with multiple units of the Geya Alliance at the same time.
In the trench, Su Xiao filled the MR-24 sniper rifle with bullets. Other Killing Squad soldiers had already dispersed, preparing to find opportunities to sneak behind enemy lines. Su Xiao, as a sniper, would not sneak behind enemy lines now, but first had to cover the others.
Saint and Earth had already sneaked over under the cover of night, and now their life or death was unknown. Right now, Su Xiao still needed to cover 3 people to rush into the forest 300 meters on the oblique side of the trench. As long as they entered there, those 3 people could find a way to sneak into the enemy army themselves.
Hiss, hiss, hiss~
The radio station carried by the little assistant emitted signal interference sounds. She immediately picked up the receiver.
"This is White Ghost, can you hear me?"
The little assistant's voice was very crisp. She was not tall, only about 1.5 meters, wearing a black standard military uniform, short hair, and her fair face was stained with some mud.
If it weren't for the little assistant's pretty face and the honey-like protrusion on her chest, Su Xiao wouldn't have been able to tell whether she was a man or a woman in the night. When they first met, Su Xiao's first impression of her was: can a man actually be this pretty?
It wasn't Su Xiao's vision problem, but the little assistant's brown short hair and her neutral dress made it easy to mistake her for a boy. However, after she puffed out her chest and saluted, Su Xiao discovered she was a woman.
After Su Xiao's refusal, Skain very "enthusiastically" assigned the little assistant to him. It was said that the little assistant was the most excellent observer in the 12th Regiment, but she was a bit of a partner-killer. She had cooperated with 27 snipers, and now the grass on those snipers' graves was already three feet high.
Because of this, the little assistant was depressed. After a "beating by an elder" from her regiment commander, her ribs were broken, and her forearm was fractured, her depression was cured, and she turned back into a vibrant girl—a vibrant girl who could kill a four-meter-high brown bear with her bare hands.
After receiving the mission to assist the Killing Squad's White Ghost, the little assistant cheered. If the Killing Squad was a warrior chosen from ten thousand, then White Ghost was the most excellent sniper in the Killing Squad, on par with Ning Kefu of the 1st Army's Assassination Squad.
This was how the scene in the trench came to be. The little assistant was full of excitement. Looking at that expression, it seemed she wanted to snatch the sniper rifle from Su Xiao's hand and fire two shots to satisfy her craving.
"Can hear, this is Saint, Earth and I have successfully sneaked in."
Saint's voice came from the radio. Su Xiao took the receiver from the little assistant's hand.
"Scout Dog and Blind Mountain will enter the forest in at most ten minutes."
"Understood, 9 minutes later we will find a way to create chaos, you take the opportunity to cover those two."
Su Xiao did not reply. While pulling the bolt, he leaned his upper body out of the trench.
Bang, bang, bang.
After three shots, the enemy trench opposite went silent for a moment, and three machine gunners were shot in the head.
"Beautiful!"
"Shut up."
"Alright~"
The little assistant poked her head out of the trench and began to observe the enemy's position nearby.
"South direction, 169 degrees, 710 meters, wind speed 3.1..."
Before the little assistant finished speaking, the enemy who was rushing forward had already been shot in the head by Su Xiao.
