Chapter 323: Night of Slaughter (End)

"Oh, shit!"

In the instant of contact, his side had already lost two men, and Smith couldn't help but let out a curse.

However, while he was terrified in his heart, he also couldn't help but feel a faint sense of relief, because that strange, monstrous beast that had ambushed them hadn't attacked him first, which gave him a chance to react.

Finally drawing his weapon, Smith held a strangely shaped pistol; if a military enthusiast were here, they would likely recognize it immediately from its odd design as an MK23, a pistol once purchased in large quantities by United States special forces, which possessed a. 45-inch caliber and had extremely high precision and hit rates within a 50-100 meter combat radius that other pistols lacked.

The MK23 was not only purchased in large quantities by United States special forces, but some government-affiliated law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and even the CIA, had also purchased it.

Smith clearly had a soft spot for this powerful pistol; although the silencer attached to the muzzle wouldn't completely eliminate the sound of the gunshot, he couldn't care about that now, so he raised his hand, aimed at the strange beast, and pulled the trigger.

"Pa... pa-pa..."

The low sound of the gunshots seemed exceptionally piercing in the dark night.

The agents downstairs, having already sensed that something might be happening when they heard the noisy sounds from above, couldn't help but secretly increase their vigilance.

When the warning and the gunshots came one after another, all the CIA agents staying in this house, from the second floor to the first, reacted immediately; some quickly took out their weapons and equipped them, some nimbly rushed upstairs, while the few on duty at the entrance and in the courtyard alertly locked the main gate immediately and also drew their weapons, becoming cautiously vigilant.

Unfortunately, they could not see with the naked eye that several metal scouts, the size of mosquitoes, were flying down rapidly from the roof of the second floor in the dark night, and after hovering for a while above the courtyard and outside the doors and windows of the second floor, they soon found some gaps and slipped inside.

The next second, the movements of all the agents hiding in this residential house fell into the eyes of those who were interested.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The copper-cased bullets struck its chassis, splashing out bursts of sparks.

Hanwei tilted its head slightly, its eyes scanning the few panicked humans in front of it one by one, and a ripple of emotion called 'mockery' could be vaguely seen in its pair of azure electronic eyes.

"Humble vermin..."

Under the moonlight, its claws, reflecting a chilling light, landed on the ground.

The claw blades rubbed lightly against the concrete-covered roof, yet they were as sharp as a knife cutting through tofu, leaving streaks of scratches on the ground that could have otherwise resisted bullet penetration.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Smith's right hand, tightly gripping the MK23, couldn't help but tremble; he was indeed an agent with excellent psychological quality, but having witnessed with his own eyes that the bullets fired by the weapons of himself and the other agents who had reacted could not pose any threat to the opponent, even a tough guy like him couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

With his rich experience, he could be certain that what he had encountered was absolutely not some lion or tiger beast, but a killing machine designed by humans and forged from metal.

"This is a terrifying Combat Robot; damn it, could it be something manufactured by the Chinese?"

Hanwei looked him over with interest; having been cooped up in Base No. 1 for several months, it had rarely received Sun Cheng's permission to come out for a spin, and it couldn't help but develop the urge to play properly with these fragile humans in its mind.

But as soon as this thought emerged, it felt its Core throb.

In an instant, the blue light in Hanwei's eyes flickered slightly, and it tilted its head and grinned slightly at Smith, revealing a mouthful of ferocious, serrated fangs.

"What a buzzkill, it's rare to come out once. But the master's orders cannot be disobeyed..."

This cold mechanical voice made Smith and the others pause slightly; the agents sent to China this time almost all mastered the foreign language of Chinese, and although they couldn't be called proficient, most of them understood what these words meant.

However, how could Hanwei leave them any more time to react?

With a sudden kick off the ground, its agile chassis was completely unconstrained by the narrow space of the second-floor roof, and in almost an instant, it lunged in front of Nesesi, raised its sharp claw blades, and another head flew up.

Landing, it rolled on the ground, its metal-forged chassis rubbing against the floor and splashing out a series of sparks, but its tail suddenly extended while it was rolling and whipped toward Smith not far away, the terrifying force sending his body flying into the air, crashing into the low concrete wall built at the edge of the second-floor roof, then smashing a piece off before falling downward again.

"Oh no..."

After Lin Ping reacted, there was already not a single living person left on this second-floor roof, leaving only himself standing at the entrance of the stairs.

Sensing the metal monster's gaze looking at him, his face turned pale suddenly, and then he took a deep breath to calm his legs and body, which couldn't help but tremble.

The next moment, he turned around very decisively and darted into the stairs; seeing that the agents on the first and second floors had already noticed the intruder and rushed to support, Lin Ping still didn't dare to join them, hurriedly pushing past two agents who had already climbed to near the stair entrance, then leaped and jumped down the stairs below, rushing toward the first floor without looking back.

Clearly, the decision Lin Ping made was correct.

Almost the moment he landed, screams immediately came from above the stairs.

Then came the sound of gunfire and continuous cursing, screaming, and wailing, which soon disappeared again.

"Officer, what happened above..."

Suddenly hearing the intense gunfire above, followed by the sounds of screaming and cursing, the few agents dutifully guarding the first floor had been on nervous and uneasy alert.

When they saw the pale-faced Lin Ping stumbling down from upstairs, they hurriedly helped him up and asked.

"Enemy attack, there's an intruder..."

Lin Ping had stepped into the air and sprained his foot when coming downstairs just now, and now a stinging pain was coming from his right foot in waves, yet he had no time to attend to this.

After being helped up and steadying his body, he hurriedly grabbed the arm of the agent supporting him and shouted sternly: "Quick, hurry away..."

After the few remaining agents looked at each other for a while, two of them did not follow his order, but instead immediately guarded each other and rushed toward the stairs, looking like they were prepared to go up and check the situation.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Bang!

Accompanied by the muffled sound of a heavy object suddenly crashing onto the ground, the horrified Lin Ping subconsciously turned his head to look, and immediately saw a metal monster, roughly smaller than an adult wolfhound, shaking its head and slowly standing up from the ground not far behind him.

As if sensing his gaze, the metal monster, which was not stained with a single speck of different color all over its body, tilted its head slightly and looked at him, the azure halo in its eyes flickering continuously.

"The master only let me leave one living person, so you only have ten seconds to make a choice, whether to live or die..."

PS:

Sorry, because the reality arc will end within these two chapters, I need to think about how to conclude it and fill in the previous plot holes; there is only one update today and it's a bit late.
