Chapter 1392: Crazy Plan

~8 min read 1,504 words

Shells whistle and land, mud explodes like fireworks, spraying toward the surroundings.

A scorching piece of shrapnel flies into the trench and happens to land beside Su Xiao's feet.

Su Xiao grabs a handful of bullets from a nearby ammunition box, stuffs five into the sniper rifle, and tosses the rest back into the box.

The siege has been going on for half an hour, during which their side's troops have advanced about 400 meters, about 300 meters from the enemy trench and less than 400 meters from the Shengli Gate Fortress.

Advancing to this distance, the Greya Alliance troops are not prepared to continue digging trenches forward. Any closer, and they would enter the precise range of the heavy machine guns on the fortress. The caliber of those bullets is exaggerated; at most two bullets can shatter a soldier.

After the trenches of both sides are more than 300 meters apart, they both set up their positions, ready to fight to the death. If the Greya Alliance wins, it will become the most prosperous nation on Blue Sea Star; if the Sun Kingdom loses, it will never have a chance to recover.

The assistant in the trench sticks her head out and observes the situation of the Shengli Gate Fortress through binoculars.

"A bunch of cowards."

The assistant sneers. In this half hour, with the assistant's cooperation, Su Xiao has made the heavy machine guns and artillery at the numerous observation ports of the Shengli Gate Fortress miserable. As long as anyone dares to show their head at an observation port, Su Xiao will definitely blow the enemy's brains out within seconds.

The truly terrifying things of the enemy are not the trenches built of concrete + Wenluo steel, nor the towering Shengli Gate Fortress, but those bunkers half-buried in the mud.

Bunkers are not easily discovered. Heaven knows what heavy weapons are hidden inside. Sometimes, just as the Greya Alliance troops break through, they are met with machine-gun fire from the bunkers. A single round of sweeping fire takes down at least hundreds of people, and the total annihilation of small groups is common.

Su Xiao sticks his head out of the trench and observes the situation of the Shengli Gate Fortress through the scope.

Inside an observation port above the Shengli Gate Fortress, a sniper is also looking around the battlefield. The reflection of the lens catches his attention, and he immediately turns his muzzle.

With a "pop," the sniper's back of the head explodes, blood sprays, and the surrounding walls are stained with a large patch of blood. This situation is not the first time. Just as the sniper falls, his comrades behind him drag his body away, and another soldier replaces him. But just as this soldier is about to show his head, a bullet shoots into the fortress from the observation port, burying itself deep into the concrete wall behind.

"Hoo, hoo..."

This soldier holding the sniper rifle gasps heavily. He growls, rests the sniper rifle on the observation port, sticks his body out, and fires a few shots blindly. Regardless of whether he hits the enemy, he shrinks back behind the cover. Before shrinking back, he feels as if someone pushed his chest.

"Haha."

The soldier chuckles twice. He looks around at his comrades, hoping they didn't see his shameful moment just now. But the soldier finds that the gazes of the surrounding comrades are a bit wrong, and one of the comrades even grabs his leg, preparing to drag him away.

"What are you doing?"

A warm feeling comes from the soldier's chest. He looks down at his chest, and a blood hole the size of a bowl appears.

The sounds of various firearms mix together like a lively concert. The ticket to participate in this concert is very expensive: life.

Su Xiao has forgotten how many enemies he has sniped. Although he has killed many, he cannot influence the direction of the war unless he can blow up the Shengli Gate Fortress.

If he blows up the Shengli Gate Fortress, he will definitely earn a massive amount of Samsara Paradise merits.

Su Xiao previously killed two elite enemy snipers, earning a total of 6 Samsara Paradise merits, which is 3 points each.

Killing enemy leaders or generals can earn 1–50 Samsara Paradise merits, with the specific amount determined by the enemy's strength and position.

What Qing Yan did within the Sun Kingdom has already spread. After doing that, that guy definitely earned a large amount of Samsara Paradise merits.

Currently, Su Xiao has discovered a good opportunity to earn merits. Samsara Paradise merits = Paradise Coins + Real Attribute Points + Soul Crystals + Rare Resources. In a war world, the gains are basically judged by the amount of merits.

Clang!

A large piece of the Wenluo steel plate in front of Su Xiao protrudes. He doesn't pay any attention to it, continuing to refine the plan in his mind.

"Sir, sir, wake up."

The assistant is as excited as if she's on drugs. Every time a war starts, this girl is like this.

"Shut up, go cool off somewhere."

"Can I..."

The assistant looks at the sniper rifle in Su Xiao's hand. Su Xiao simply tosses the gun to her. Just as the assistant sticks her head out, a shell lands not far from the trench, and the blast wave flips her back into the trench.

This time, the assistant is much better behaved. She hugs the sniper rifle, covers her ears with both hands, and squats in the shade.

It's not that Su Xiao doesn't want to take the opportunity to earn merits, but he simply cannot show his head. At least a dozen machine gunners and numerous artillerymen are eyeing him. Wherever he shows his head, he will be met with heavy bombardment.

The combined strength of both sides exceeds one million. In hot-weapon warfare, an individual has little influence on the war situation unless they can do something shocking, like blowing up the Shengli Gate Fortress.

According to Su Xiao's observation, destroying this fortress from the outside is almost impossible. Even if a 300mm heavy artillery shell hits it, the outer metal layer of the Shengli Gate Fortress wouldn't lose even a scrap.

Even if Su Xiao activated Apollo and tossed it over, it's unlikely to destroy the Shengli Gate Fortress. The melting point of Wenluo steel is 1600°C, but that is the melting point of Wenluo steel mixed with "Sub-Rare Solution." For metal of this strength, if melted hard, the melting point would be ridiculously high.

Moreover, Apollo only has a high temperature at the moment of explosion. Even if it melts part of the Wenluo steel at that moment, the actual damage to the Shengli Gate Fortress won't be significant.

Su Xiao's idea is: since it cannot be destroyed from the outside, what would happen if Apollo were detonated inside the fortress? After all, over 70% of the interior of the Shengli Gate Fortress is concrete structure.

Once this idea appeared in Su Xiao's mind, it wouldn't go away. Moreover, his target is inside the Shengli Gate Fortress; he must sneak in.

Unfortunately, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang is not here. If that guy were here, as long as he didn't get hit by stray bullets, that guy would definitely walk into the fortress with a swagger.

"I wonder how things are going on Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang's side."

The reason Su Xiao didn't recall Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang is that he is preparing for the final contractor battle royale.

After conceiving the plan, Su Xiao takes back the sniper rifle from the assistant, pulls the bolt, aims, and fires. An artilleryman at the fortress observation port is headshot, and 1 Samsara Paradise merit is earned.

On the battlefield, killing ordinary soldiers earns no merits; they can only be obtained by killing elite enemy units.

The siege continues, and the number of casualties on both sides rises by an exaggerated figure.

That afternoon, Su Xiao was already hiding in the trench, not daring to show his head. At least five enemy snipers were searching for his position. These enemy snipers had all been baptized by the fires of war and were very difficult to deal with.

A contractor looking like a refugee, with his face covered in mud, sat not far from Su Xiao. If this were a derived world, contractors would be wary of each other, but this is a war world; if there is infighting, the consequences are very serious.

Bullets whistled overhead. Su Xiao was bandaging a gunshot wound on his shoulder. Under the hail of bullets, he naturally couldn't avoid getting shot.

At 7:00 PM, the sky grew dark, and both sides stopped firing at each other. After a hard day of fighting, soldiers on both sides needed rest. In this kind of siege, there is no possibility of large-scale night raids; that would be seeking death.
