Chapter 8, The Devil's Footsteps

The operation to capture the target has failed, and the primary target is suspected to be a genetic warrior. The information is incorrect, and the third party is no longer trustworthy

In this brief moment, Li Yu has approached the two individuals ahead at an imperceptible speed.

Li Yu rolled on the ground at the first moment, his gaze indifferent; the same technique would not be effective against the Saint Seiya.

Go check the target corpse, and I will report the situation to the chief when I return. He set a flag, and at the moment the words left his mouth, a fierce blaze erupted from the silent heap of garbage

A fierce explosion erupted here, with flames intermingled with flying metal fragments. This is clearly not an ordinary grenade; the temperature of the flames is very high, and their color is a deep red.

Not a single one has deviated

The shouts coming from the channel startled him awake. At this moment, Number Two had already rushed out, holding a submachine gun in one hand and a grenade in the other, attempting to buy some time for the captain to escape

At this moment, the gray smoke surrounding began to dissipate, and the nearby scenery gradually became clearer. Although it remained blurry at a distance of one meter, it was much better than before

He is indeed the elite among elites, having emerged after rigorous training. Although the current equipment is not very good, it is still sufficient to prevent the bullets from going astray

He smashed into the distant garbage pile, the flames gradually extinguished, and the garbage pile fell into a profound silence, devoid of any sound

Whoosh

Boom

Emerging step by step from the heap of garbage, Li Yu, armed with a submachine gun, had the flickering light of the gun's muzzle reflecting his indifferent expression

The new skin is healing, and the flesh is slowly regenerating; this is an astonishing scene

Cursing the target? ... The target is already dead ...? ... Cursing the boss? ? How dare he, he can't possibly curse himself

He had unknowingly grasped a steel rebar spear in his hand, which was sharp at the front, made by twisting two steel bars together, each as thick as two thumbs.

Damn!

Li Yu continued to use the other person as a shield, the layer of armor was indeed heavy, perfectly concealing Li Yu's figure

Thump thump thump thump thump

Die

Li Yu suddenly bent down, his center of gravity sinking into his feet, swaying his body from side to side, light and elusive like a ghostly shadow, quickly closing the distance.

Gene Warrior!? There is no mention of this in the intelligence information. Is this person merely a scavenger?

The distance was already very close, and Li Yu's eyes flashed as he prepared to employ the same trick again, but the other party suddenly charged forward, startling him

His pupils constricted as he urgently activated the communication device and sent a message

The Ghost Team - Vulture Squad, only these two remain

The speed of this full-force eruption caught even Li Yu off guard, let alone the opponent

"Go to hell!" he shouted, but due to the sound processing of the helmet, Li Yu could not hear him

The channel was silent; the captain did not expect that a simple annihilation mission would result in such significant losses

Do not! The captain shouted loudly, but it was already too late

"Damn it..." He stopped mid-sentence, as he did not know whom to curse.

Ah ... ... Captain

The captain's urgent call received no response

Another team member in gray and white armor was not far from Li Yu, and with quick reflexes, had already raised his submachine gun, unleashing a torrent of bullets without regard for life

There are no firearms here; his marksmanship may not be exceptional, but after following Old Lu for a year, his accuracy with a spear within a range of 10 meters is guaranteed to be precise

He is not dead yet!" The captain shouted angrily, and the two quickly sought cover. Even though their armor was thick, there was no need to foolishly stand in place and be shot at.

Blood gushed out, his body convulsed, his palm opened, and several grenades rolled out.

His first reaction was that he had been deceived, misled by the news from the three chubby individuals

Directly blew apart the chest armor of the nearest grenade thrower, his helmet also cracked, leaving his face unrecognizable, blood and flesh in a muddled state, the features on his face had melted away, turning into charred remains

He gritted his teeth, just at the moment when his finger was about to pull the trigger

Boom

Not a single shot hit? How is that possible

The armor emitted a clanging sound, causing the voices in the channel to abruptly cease

The captain was thrown out, but the strength of his armor was evidently superior, showing no signs of cracking. Although he fell to the ground, he quickly got back on his feet.

Two indistinct gray armored figures emerged, one of which was noticeably more robust, not only was the gun in his hand emanating a ghostly glow, but his right arm was also a thick exoskeletal mechanical arm

The steel bar spear was released from the hand and, almost in an instant, it was driven into the throat of the armored team member, the powerful penetration force sending him flying several meters away, landing not far from the captain.

Number 7 ... ... What are you doing, Number 7!

It felt as if I had collided with a moving train, a surge of excruciating pain radiated from my back, far more intense than the previous impact

The captain's pupils contracted, cursing under his breath, and turned to run. At that moment, the flames expanded and erupted with a deafening explosion.

Captain, Number 3 and Number 4 are already dead, and Numbers 6 and 7 have also lost contact

His ribs were covered with charred marks, and some of the flesh had already turned to charcoal, indicating that the injuries were quite severe. However, as time passed, the charred skin and flesh began to peel away

Captain! Hurry up!

The captain fired at Li Yu's body, yet Li Yu's speed was not hindered; in less than three seconds, the distance between the two was reduced to less than one meter

A chilling scream echoed through the channel

It is clearly a silver alloy arm armor specially equipped, and its menacing appearance alone is enough to instill fear in people's hearts

Number 6! Number 7!

The muscles of his arms were grotesque, and the pink flesh that had just grown on his ribs was torn once again, blood slowly oozing out. All of his strength erupted at this moment, and he himself was unaware of how powerful he had become

He aimed the gun at Li Yu, who was not far away, and he felt an overwhelming sense of danger emanating from Li Yu's presence

Several black grenades bounced out of his hands, surprisingly with the intention of perishing together with Li Yu.

Sorry

Beneath the captain's helmet, the intelligent analysis device scanned this scene, which left him greatly shaken

The flames and shockwaves erupted and spread outward, raising clouds of dust like a tempest, instantly creating a sea of fire all around.

A tremendous force directly knocked one person out, causing the chest armor to cave in. Li Yu took the opportunity to twist his body, gripping the person's head, and with a swift motion, used them as a shield to block the incoming bullets

Due to the rising flames, the nearby smoke has thinned out somewhat, and the silhouettes of people within it can now be vaguely seen

Li Yu whispered at the side of the helmet, his back muscles tensed, and with a tremendous force, he directly snapped his neck. With a crack, the head spun and flew away.

The violent impact sent the corpse that Li Yu was using as a shield flying away, along with him behind it

A few grenades were within arm's reach, and Li Yu could only pull back the corpse while quickly turning around, curling into a ball to shield himself with both his back and the corpse as a double layer of protection

When this thought emerged in his mind, he saw the fresh blood slowly flowing from Li Yu's body and the bullets embedded in his muscles
