From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

? ?

"What's going on?"

Sears and the others were stunned.

They witnessed with their own eyes that Leon shot two shots in the chest and one shot in the head. Even if they didn't understand military affairs, they knew that ordinary people would be powerless to save the situation.

However, the villager's head exploded, and several half-meter or even one-meter long blood-red "vines" could still emerge from his neck.

? !

Leon was also shocked.

However, all the training he received was to deal with the current situation.

After hesitating for a while, Leon quickly stepped forward, raised his left foot, and stepped hard on the villager's chest, directly blocking the other party's struggle to get up.

At the same time, the muzzle of the USP was also facing down, aiming at the tumor on the villager's neck.

"Da! Da! Da!" The crisp sound of rapid shooting spread.

"Puff! Puff! Bang!"

After the tumor was hit by several .40sw bullets with strong stopping power at close range, it finally couldn't avoid the laws of carbon-based organisms and exploded directly.

Blood spurted forward one or two meters like milk tea that had been smashed, and the tentacles also became soft and powerless.

It seemed that this time they were really dead.

"Da!"

But Leon still shot the other person in the body.

After confirming that the villager was completely motionless, he quickly removed the magazine with a few bullets left, put it into the storage bag hanging on his waist, and took out a full magazine and loaded it.

In less than two seconds, he completed the reloading. After scanning the surrounding area for no threats, Leon freed his right hand, pulled open his sleeve, touched the single-soldier computer on his left forearm, and immediately called for emergency support from the ARS company.

Seeing that the screen showed that the call for help was sent successfully, Leon held the USP again and said to Sears and others with his peripheral vision: "Follow me closely, now the priority is to save your life."

"It's really too much trouble for you, Mr. Joseph. If it weren't for you... we would all be here." Sears felt guilty and grateful.

The students had never expected that they had found a "second-rate mercenary" who was greedy for money, but they didn't know that this "mercenary" was smooth and unhurried when dealing with the rebels and the mutant villagers beyond their cognition.

"Don't say it's useless. Remember to pay later. Let's go."

Lyon was not too modest. He kept thinking about the commission. It seemed that he had been cheated and began to feel resentful about it.

Then he took Sears and others and walked quickly along the row of thatched houses to the alley between the thatched houses.

Walk to the alley.

Half squat and observe.

Looking at the village square outside, Lyon and his party saw that there were many mutants with blood-colored vines replacing their heads in the mixed team of rebels and villagers.

And the mutants could also operate guns and shoot at the real rebels in the dense forest, but the accuracy was a bit worrying.

When Lyon took out the monocular telescope and looked closely, he found that they still looked human, but their eyes were bloodshot and pupils were invisible.

Through these obvious features, Lyon could conclude that the rebels and villagers were all infected.

Combined with the villagers he had killed before, it can be inferred that when the infected suffered too much fatal damage, the "blood vines" living in the body would take over control, which is the second stage of the disease -

mutants.

And the only thing that can cause such a situation is the "Flower of God".

As for how to bring the villagers back to life and assimilate and infect the rebels, Lyon had no idea. He could only wait for reinforcements to arrive and let the technicians reverse analyze the process.

Putting away the monocular telescope, Lyon pointed to a tin house on the left, indicating that he would go in there to hide next.

Sears and others also nodded in understanding.

Seeing this, Lyon took a deep breath, adjusted the frequency, and was the first to get up and rush out of the alley.

Maybe it was good luck?

Along the way, they were not noticed by the infected.

After all, the rebels who wanted to occupy the village were still attacking with all their might, attracting almost all the attention of Leon, Sears and others.

But when Leon kicked the door open and Sears and his students went in to hide, their luck seemed to have ended, because an infected person carrying an RPG-7 turned around and aimed at the iron house and was about to pull the trigger.

"Swish!"

But for some reason, the infected person burst directly from the chest to the head, and blood and muscle tissue splashed all around.

"Bang!!"

The next moment, the sound of large-caliber gunfire unique to anti-machine sniping came from the southwest.

That was not the gathering direction of the rebels, and no one would notice who fired the shot when the battle was fierce.

"Da! Da!"

As for Leon, who had entered the iron house and completed the search, he was half-crouching beside the door, firing at more and more infected people who tried to approach.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The bullet whistled.

Snap! Snap!

The iron wall was easily penetrated.

Fortunately, Sears' teachers and students were lying on the ground, and the shooting skills of the infected were not as good as those of the rebels and civilians before they were infected, so everyone did not have to worry about safety issues for the time being.

Only Leon needed to change positions continuously, ran out of the iron house, and then slid and rolled to the fallen giant tree, using it as a cover, kneeling on one knee to engage in fire with the infected, and even the rebels who rushed into the village from time to time.

"Da... Ka!"

Hearing the sound of the empty hanging, Leon did not have time to think about it. He touched the card slot with his right hand and threw out the empty magazine. At the same time, his left hand reached to his waist and took out a full magazine and put it away.

As the right thumb flipped the safety, the silver slide reset with a "click!" sound, which also meant that the bullet was loaded.

"..."

But Leon's expression was extremely solemn.

This was his last magazine, and even the previously recovered magazines were empty. If reinforcements...

"Shua..."

Just as Leon was thinking about when the reinforcements would arrive, he heard a faint roar.

He looked up.

"Boom!"

He saw an A-10 Warthog with a gray-white paint job and full of bullets flying low.

Slowing down and circling around, adjusting the fuselage angle, in Leon's eyes it was from left to right, and then...

"Ri~Buzz buzz buzz!!"

The seven-barrel 30mm GAU-8 rotary cannon "plowed" the infected, rebels, and even 1/3 of the villages that posed a threat to Leon in just a few seconds.

When the pilot turned the A-10 back and flew over from right to left, he fired a large number of air-to-ground missiles at the rainforest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rainforest, which was the size of three football fields, was flattened to the ground, and the trees and soil were all overturned, not to mention the rebels.

Then, a CH-53E Sea Stallion, escorted by an AH-1W Super Cobra, arrived over the village and hovered about 20 meters above the ground.

Then, a soldier jumped out of the cabin without a rope and fell to the ground in a free fall.

The expected scene of falling did not happen, but with a muffled "bang!", the soldier landed smoothly.

"Bang! Bang!"

Moreover, more and more soldiers jumped out of the cabin and completed the ropeless landing.
