"Yes, it's me."
A white mist was leaking from his mouth, Mole with a grin stood up from the ground; his body was trembling.
The dry ice spread out in the basement, causing the temperature to drop instantly to the freezing point.
Not just Mole, Jiang Chen noticed that his tactical helmet screen had gradually begun to precipitate with ice shards. However, these ice crystals were not bothersome, he was only a bit cold compared to the Fog Demon that had been duped by dry ice powder.
"This is the industry norm?" Looking at the Mole that moved to the corner, Jiang Chen smiled wickedly, "The intelligence trafficker and cannibal?"
"The intelligence trafficker is my side business. What could be more fun than killing people?" Mole licked the corner of his mouth and drew two daggers from his pockets. He put them in front of his chest, like a cross."Yes, dry ice can indeed cause me problems, especially in this small place."
While Mole said this, his eyes glanced at the door behind him.
"I didn't expect to encounter the same kind here."
"I don't think we are the same kind, " Jiang Chen laughed.
"Oh? The ability to just disappear, you didn't get this when you unlocked the third level of genetic code?" Mole's pupils showed a look of interest, depressing his hoarse voice."If I'm not mistaken, you could only reappear where you disappeared right."
Hearing the words of Mole, Jiang Chen's clearly looked surprised.
He didn't expect this guy's head to be quite clever, worthy of his role as an intelligence officer. Although he could not guess the essence of his ability to travel interdimensional, he instantly recognized the only weakness.
However, even if he saw this through weakness, Jiang Chen also had the confidence to beat him.
The tube he was holding vibrated, and a light blue laser blade emerged out of nowhere. Jiang Chen turned his wrist a few times.
"Any last words, I will write an epitaph for you."
Upon seeing this, Mole's pupils contracted, but soon a emotionless smile appeared on his face.
"Since we both unlocked the third level, you should not be naive to think that my power is only to mystify."
Jiang Chen noticed that his face, which had been damaged by the dry ice, was gradually healing. It seems that the unraveling genetic code not only gave him super abilities and powerful physical qualities but also enhanced his natural healing ability.
Mole's back was bent, and he lowered his body more and more. At the same time, the two daggers in front of the chest gradually formed into the shape of an X.
Suddenly, a ray of light burst from his eyes, and the murderous vibe pierced toward Jiang Chen. At the same time, the two daggers drew a dark arc, and his sudden accelerated body dashed toward Jiang Chen.
"Go to hell!"
The light and shadows danced. The blue arc formed into a semicircle and slashed open the two dark shadows. There was no sharp metal sounds, Jiang Chen's pupil contracted slightly, and he saw that the two dark shadows instantly dodged his slash and turned into two ghosts stabbing toward him.
Too late to hesitate, Jiang Chen activated his Peerless ability. The laser sword in his right formed a circular arc, and the left hand took out the high-frequency vibrating particle dagger, slamming toward the air to his left side.
PING!
Metal collision sounds echoed in the room. Although less powerful, the technological level was not comparable. Jiang Chen's particle dagger sliced through the dagger in Mole's hands without any suspense. Then another laser sword slashed to his face.
The dagger was slashed in half, and Mole did not hesitate to throw the hilt at Jiang Chen's face, using the opportunity to force Jiang Chen to back down and to create distance. However, Jiang Chen did not give him a chance to breathe. He easily avoided the broken dagger, the trailing light on the laser sword formed a perfect curvature. With a light blade forming out from the blade, it spun and flew to Mole just regaining his balance.
Leaning to the side, Mole began to sweat profusely and barely escaped this fatal blow. However, he had not yet fully relaxed when a round of bullets arrived.
[Fu*k! Where did he get the gun from?]
Mole's pupils were almost bulging out. He remembered clearly that when Jiang Chen came out, he was empty handed!
Through the fog slashed out by the light blade, he temporarily activated mystify. With the mist that had suddenly melted away, he flew two meters away and escaped the bullets.
Jiang Chen's pupils were slightly zoomed, and his eyes were locked on the Mole's escaping figure. The empty rifle was thrown away and the second submachine gun was taken out in a fluid motion.
Emotions were stripped from his body. The brain was clearer than ever before, and fighting was as easy as breathing and drinking water.
The spitting flames danced in the room, and the bullets looked like they were chasing behind Mole's buttocks. With nowhere to escape, Mole dove behind a surgery table, lifted it up onto his shoulders, and slammed it against Jiang Chen like a giant shield.
However, before he could even take?two more steps, together with the surgery table on his shoulder, he flew backwards as if he had been hit by a train. Blood spilled out of his mouth, and Mole along with the broken surgery table smashed into the wall.
Clank.
Jiang Chen threw away the power hammer in his hands, moved around his sore wrists. The pupils gradually recovered to clarity.
Coughing blood, Mole covered his chest and looked at Jiang Chen who had come to his side. He moved his right hand and found that the hand had been fractured.
"... Looks like you many good things, " said Mole, panting, and coughing out blood.
"It's a pity that you won't have a chance to see all of them." Jiang Chen smiled, and with?no nonsense, he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
...
Bang!
Rain of gunshots sounded and orange bullets covered Desperate Beach.
As night fell, the crabs eager to move gradually gathered on the shoreline. Listening to the deafening gunshots, the survivors resisted the fear in their hearts and mechanically repeated the movements in their hands, dragging the cement bricks to the walls and applying cement.
The first of the more than 50 defensive towers that had been built unleashed the firepower of the machine guns. The rear support placed out mortars and shells and fired electromagnetic pulse bombs at the beach.
Ordinary rifle bullets caused little harm to the Mud Crabs, but the rain of bullets composed of machine guns was still a great deterrent to the Mud Crabs.
Ten sets of power armor stood in front of the beach, swiftly rotating the barrel of the revolving machine guns, and venting out their fierce firepower. Of those power armors, the captain's Li Wang was among them. Personally dressed in T-4 power armor, he took the lead and immediately boosted the morale on the frontline, suppressing the Mud Crabs that landed on the beach along the shoreline.
Just when they woke up from their hibernation, they were attacked. The Mud Crabs were immediately angered by this group of humans seeking death. Their six legs quickly moved under their thick armor as they rushed to those who opened fire.
"Their shells are too thick! I think we should bring up the anti-tank cannons!" In the bunker next to Li Wang, the deputy commander wearing kinetic skeleton reloaded and said through gritted teeth.
"If we have that many anti-tank cannons." Li Wang moved away from the red hot barrel and threw out the signal bomb in his hands.
Not far away, in the direction of the expedition form fortress, flame flared.
Afterward, low-pitched buzzing roared and countless rockets fell from the sky, covering the entire battlefield and turning the beach into a sea of flames.
The fire engulfed the Mud Crabs and even melted the sand. The soldiers stopped shooting and lowered their muzzles, watching the Mud Crab that had just been submerged in the sea of fire, their pupils showed no sign of ease at all.
Even if all NAC's airships were mobilized to this supply line, it would be impossible for this fire to burn continuously.
The Mud Crabs were temporarily suppressed by the fire and returned to the sea. Their small, dark green eyes flashed fierce hatred. They waited eagerly for the fire to extinguish.
Yes, no fire could burn forever...
