flickering in their hands, pairs of eyes beneath their helmets fixed intently ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siege tightened even further, the air itself seemingly beginning to solidify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle, heavy with the taste of gunpowder, was on the verge of erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of urgent footsteps echoed from inside the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers stationed at the main entrance were instantly on alert, fingers tight on the triggers, weapons raised in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam from the searchlight pierced the pitch-black portal, faintly revealing the silhouettes of two bedraggled, blood-stained figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they were survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two survivors staggered forward, one of them with a leg injury but still stubbornly limping on, desperately trying to run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they emerged, they raised their hands to shield their eyes from the glaring light, their expressions revealing extreme panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the military encirclement outside, they immediately began shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t shoot, it’s us, we are from the Special Search Team!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two survivors were none other than the white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, hold your fire for now, bring them over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Deng recognized the two and immediately issued the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman didn’t retreat behind the defensive line straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they turned to look back at the hall still enveloped in darkness, shouting with all their might:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, come out quickly, the reinforcement troops have arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices grew hoarse from the shouting, the tone laden with urgency and concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a series of quite intense noises came from inside the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if an iron whip was slicing through the air, emitting a spine-chilling whistling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like a heavy hammer continuously pounding the ground, kicking up fragments of brick and stone in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded as though a perilous battle beyond ordinary imagination was unfolding within the corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a man’s voice traveled from the depths of the dark, gradually getting louder as it approached:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two do not wait for me, evacuate to a safe place right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice sounded relatively calm, then it raised a few decibels, shouting towards the outside of the building:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone prepare for battle, when I lead the target out, you’ll concentrate fire and attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shout seemed to come from someone of high rank and authority, who issued commands to the troops stationed outside with an undeniable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman heeded the words and obediently acted accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both quickly retreated while yelling to the other soldiers, repeating the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, a Special Search Team commander was heroically holding off the pursuing monster from behind to cover the escape of his two subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Deng narrowed his eyes and then changed the combat plan through the walkie-talkie:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assault teams stand by for now, all others stand firm, ready for combat on my command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had made the adjustments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a \"crash\" sound as if glass had been smashed by something heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure suddenly burst out from the darkness and ran towards the main entrance of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the commander, don’t shoot yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman shouted anxiously upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were worried the soldiers would shoot prematurely and accidentally hit one of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was already incredibly fast, dashing through the terrifyingly dark hall like a bolt of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When reaching the entrance, with some kind of squatting and stepping maneuver, their body, like a spring, \"whooshed\" and accelerated once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fast that the soldiers behind the line hadn’t even reacted before the figure burst outside, reaching the blockade ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The monster has come out, fire now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person’s breathing remained remarkably steady, sprinting a hundred meters while still being able to shout loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice trailed off, they leaped over several barricades effortlessly and landed behind the defensive line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers wore expressions of astonishment, nearly unable to restrain themselves from pulling the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were well-trained elite troops who would not rashly shoot without the command to engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched as another shadow appeared from the building behind, seeming to crawl out from the darkness of Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Deng’s pupils constricted, his heart skipped a beat, and he decisively shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open fire, focus your attack on that monster behind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the exact moment the figure crossed the defensive line, the sound of gunfire erupted like popping beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several heavy machine guns mounted on armored vehicles roared to life, tongues of fire frantic as they licked the space ahead, bullets pouring like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers also began firing; their assault rifles spitting hot flames, weaving a dazzling and deadly web of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang bang bang——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless bullets swept over the concrete floor, kicking up fragments of rock and brick, and leaving dense clusters of holes as if a metal storm had just passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a violent barrage of fire, it’s hard to imagine any creature surviving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man and the shield-bearing strongman were quite excited as they watched the scene in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then went to greet the officer who had also safely escaped from the Demon Cave, wanting to express their gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng gestured to them with his mouth, signaling that the battle was not over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two felt a chill in their hearts and immediately turned their heads, looking towards the front line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the hail of bullets, the terrifying creature stood firm, seemingly unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark red Bone Spurs formed an extremely tight shield, protecting its entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets that hit it only sparked a series of flashes that disappeared as quickly as fireworks in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the creature let out a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound waves, substantial as they were, vibrated outward, causing broken glass from the surrounding buildings to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many soldiers who were close by were shaken by this Strength until their ears rang, losing their balance and falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrage of gunfire had come down and yet barely inflicted any damage on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen calmly retracted his Bone Spur shield, surprised at first by the grandeur of the human response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing their attacks were so ineffective, he let out a mocking laughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, mere firearms daring to challenge me, what naive thinking. Humans of this age are still so weak...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire skeleton seemed to be made of some kind of hard metal; even without the Bone Spur shield, ordinary bullets struck him as if they were mere insect bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s eyes narrowed, and he ordered in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gunfire isn’t enough, use cannons and missiles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Deng didn’t need his reminder to give the combat orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several infantry fighting vehicles roared forward, their turret cannons rotating and spewing hot flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful shells, carrying a breath of destruction, whistled down towards the monster’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the smoke and fire cleared, Jiang Chen’s figure still stood proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrage of shells had only left a few shallow dents and cracks in the hard Bone Spur shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not enough, still not enough. Put in more effort, let me see your greatest strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having blocked the attack again, he became even more arrogant, his mockery intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body then moved slightly, withstanding another cannon fire and stepping forward, he said in a stern voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, I’m going to unleash my power...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the futility of human weapons, he was ready to start his offensive, savoring a feast of slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish speaking, a \"swoosh\" sound was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whistling missile, trailing flames, shot overhead towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson flame blossomed, and a hot blast shot up into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tremendous explosion, dense smoke swept across like a sandstorm, and broken concrete fell like rain hundreds of meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast was so powerful that even nearby barricades were flipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the smoke slowly dispersed from the aftermath of the explosion, a skeleton, stark white and towering in the ruins, stood tall, its eyes emitting a sinister green glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Spurs that had served as a shield were now shattered into a spiderweb pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared wide-eyed, only to see that the creature moved again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in a sudden leap, it shot into the air, careering off in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to have finally realized the danger and wanted to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Deng’s forehead veins bulged, as he shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep firing missiles, don’t stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one wasn’t enough, then two; if two weren’t enough, then three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their determination was not to rest until their opponent was completely blasted to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pilots received the order, pressing the launch button again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, two massive missiles, with humanity’s rage, shot towards the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, caught mid-leap by the missile lock-on, collided with them unprepared, and a thunderous explosion sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful impact sent his body flying dozens of meters, slamming it against the wall of a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a \"clatter,\" he fell down, his skeleton scattering on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long while, there was no further movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, who had initially seemed like a demon god incarnate, invincible, now appeared to have met his bitter end.\u003C\u002Fp>",1559,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","09ad1175dd301d9492af182a857582a07f96370e72cc5d6c7a5304a8952c1624","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-254","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-252",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
