Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"Ding! Ding!"

The 7.62mm and .50cal armor-piercing bullets only jingle against the skin of the most important level, and cannot hurt a single cent at all.

"Boom! Boom!"

The 40mm caliber grenades hit and detonated one after another, but they only exploded black smoke, leaving some dents and "scratches" on the skin to be graded.

Unless it is an armor-piercing gun with a diameter of more than 100mm, the firepower of an infantry tactical platoon alone cannot fight against a key attack class that is regarded as a heterogeneous armored unit.

There are more and more half-human scorpions, like the reduced red version of the half-human scorpions, such as "chariot-level" that are about to hit the level, constantly pouring out of the gap, charging towards the simple position formed by the tactical platoon.

"Ah!! Die! Die!!"

Yang Lin, who was standing next to the engine of a scrapped SUV, raised his pole gun and yelled to release his emotions, while firing long and short bursts at the head of the scorpion tail that was about to be leveled.

However, what all the soldiers, including him, did was just a drop in the bucket.

The tank class can be dealt with by their firepower, but it is helpless against the behemoth-like critical strike class.

There is no gap of more than ten seconds.

As long as it hits the level, it has already rushed to more than 30 meters away from the position of the first and second classes, and this huge and ugly guy also took advantage of the situation and swung its giant pincers very quickly...

"Boom! Boom!!" Both the body and the vehicle exploded.

The vehicle fell apart, glass shards and part of the vehicle body were like fragmentation grenades, and began to splash around, and the soldiers within the attack range of the fortress level also had the same fate, even worse...

Bloody.

Even with the protection of mechanical bones and thick armor, in the face of the giant pincers that are comparable to the level of a bus, everything is like paper and has no effect at all.

Moreover, even if the soldiers standing at the front reacted, it was too late to retreat immediately, so they had to be angry on the spot.

"Xiao Tian! Xiao Li!! Damn it!!" The platoon leader, whose helmet fell somewhere, was furious, his eyes were red, and he lost a squad in an instant. How could he accept this.

But the platoon leader was not affected by his emotions. He looked back and confirmed that Hiragana had gone far, and then he ordered: "Everyone takes over and retreats. Don't stop the firepower and continue to block!"

"yes!"

Yang Lin and a group of remaining soldiers immediately took over and retreated, unceasingly pouring firepower at the key assault and chariot ranks.

As members of the third squad, Yang Lin and his comrades did not leave immediately because they were in the back position. They waited for the remaining comrades in the first and second squads to pass by them, and after waiting for a few seconds, they turned around and evacuated.

"Da da da!!"

As the machine gunner, Yang Lin needs to be the last man.

"Safety!"

The signal from his comrade-in-arms came from the headset, and Yang Lin finally removed his right index finger from the trigger, ready to turn around and run wildly.

"Help my... child..."

However, before he could completely turn around, he heard a faint cry for help not far from the side facing the alien.

? !

Hearing this, Yang Lin froze when he turned around, and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound source.

! !

I saw that the previous car was smashed by a strike, flew more than ten meters away, and rolled not far from their third shift position. Inside the distorted station wagon, there was actually a father and son?

And the father who was sitting in the driving position was seriously injured, blood had already seeped out along the cracks and pooled on the ground.

This amount of bleeding...

Hopeless.

On the child seat at the back, there was a baby who was completely wrapped by the airbag, but for some reason, did not let out a little cry.

What's the situation?

Could it be that the father was reluctant to leave the vehicle and escape on foot when the strike was about to occur?

How is the baby?

Is it dead or alive?

Also, why didn't he and his comrades notice the father and son before?

In an instant, countless confusions and guesses flooded Yang Lin's mind, but his body had already started to move, and immediately rushed towards the dilapidated vehicle.

The teachings and training Yang Lin has received since he was in the army have all told him that the people are higher than orders and their own lives.

With the strength and speed increase provided by the mechanical skeleton, the distance of more than ten meters is fleeting.

"呵啦!"

The distorted car door was like a piece of A4 paper, easily torn open by Yang Lin's free hands. Then, he got into the back seat of the car with his upper body, pulled off the child seat, and carefully hugged the baby who looked like he was not breathing.

get out of the car.

Seeing the normal ups and downs of the chest up close, Yang Lin's heart finally eased.

"Alive!" Yang Lin expressed his emotions and said to the dying man.

"..."

After confirming that his son was still alive, the father seemed to have realized his wish, and exhaled with his last breath, twisting his head to one side and losing his vitality.

but.

Yang Lin didn't notice the state of the father, but held the baby in his left hand, and swung the gun with his right hand towards the incoming tanks.

Just about to pull the trigger.

!

But Yang Lin abruptly withdrew his index finger, and glanced at the baby in his arms.

"Xiao Yang! What are you doing!! Come back quickly!" At this time, the platoon leader's roar also came from the earphones, "Forget it! Hurry up and cover Xiao Yang! Hurry up!"

The voice fell.

"Da da da-!"

The comrades who were already in place in the distance began to provide fire assistance.

"Puff! Puff!!"

The running speed is faster, and the chariots that want to besiege are all smashed into a sieve.

One of the guys jumped up violently, opened his humanoid mouth and rushed towards Yang Lin, so this guy became the target of the soldiers, shooting and exploding directly in mid-air.

At this time, Yang Lin didn't procrastinate, he turned around and ran, but...

"Rou~----!"

But at the same time he turned around, he also heard a violent whistling and breaking through the air behind him.

This means that he has fallen into the attack range of the critical level, and that ugly giant scorpion has already waved out its bus-like giant pincers.

! ! !

Realizing that the blow could not be avoided, Yang Lin immediately reacted with the fastest reaction speed in his life, closed his eyes, curled up, held the baby firmly in his arms, and prepared to press everything on the mechanical skeleton and armor.

Of course, he himself can act as a "meat pad" as a buffer. Even if there is even the slightest possibility, he doesn't want to let go of the chance to keep the child alive...

Even if it is a few seconds longer than him.

"Om~!!! Chi... bang!!"

But suddenly, there was a violent chain rotation, like the violent sound of a chainsaw cutting a hard object, resounding through the entire street.

"boom…!!"

And the next moment, something huge and heavy fell to the ground.

? ?

Yang Lin, who fell to the ground because of curling up, couldn't help being stunned. Logically, he should be dead right now?

And, why did the gunfire of comrades stop?

He opened his eyes suspiciously.

First, he looked up to the front, and found that his comrades were opening their mouths one by one, looking behind him with expressions of disbelief.

Immediately, Yang Lin took advantage of the situation and looked back...

! !

He also joined the astonished team.

I saw that at a distance of more than 20 meters between him and the key striker, there was an extra blue "iron can" who was at least 3.6 to 7 meters tall!

And the armor of this iron can is thick, especially the shoulder armor, and there are a pair of thick mechanical arms on the back, holding a missile launcher and a rotating cannon of unknown caliber.

The red mane of the helmet, as well as the iron chain around the waist and various cloth strips (marks of purity) are decorated, which has a sense of sight of the ancient Roman Guards.

The most conspicuous thing is the huge "chainsaw" with a double-edged shape and a length of about 1.8 meters under the left arm armor of the iron can.

Cooperating with the giant pincers that fell on both sides, Yang Lin also guessed that it was the iron can who shot, helped them block the fatal blow just now, and took advantage of the opportunity to use the chainsaw to cut off the pincers that were about to be hit.

this…

Still human? !

Even though he has a physique of 3.6-7 meters and is assisted by advanced power armor, he is still too "little" compared to a key striker who moves like a low mountain.

But the fact is the situation at hand.

"Heh!" At this moment, I only heard the tin can hair give out a metallic disdainful smile, shook his shoulder joints, and said:

"Chop Suey."

"Om—!"

When the voice fell, the iron can once again made the chain of the double-edged chain saw rotate rapidly, and with a seemingly thick and clumsy body shape, but with extremely sensitive and fast steps, he took the initiative to rush to the key level.

"Pfft!!" The body was violently blasted.

"Bah!!" The chain quickly twisted the meat.

During the charge, a large number of chariots swarmed up, trying to block its forward momentum, but without exception, they turned into meat sauce and pieces.

In less than a blink of an eye.

The iron can that turned into an afterimage was already standing on the back of the key striker.

The left-handed chainsaw slashed at the human head and scorpion tail, and the right hand smashed the disgusting lower gum, and then...

"Bah!!!" The blood was like a fountain.

Just when the left-handed chainsaw's decapitation was halfway completed, the right hand couldn't wait to yank outwards, directly tearing off the entire human head and scorpion tail with brute force.

Before the movement stopped, the iron can grabbed the scorpion tail that was more than twice as big as his body with his right hand, raised his left foot and kicked it.

"Boom!!!" Meat splashed everywhere.

It looked quite skilled, like kicking and kicking, it seemed to be some kind of execution habit to vent anger.

However, after dealing with the deadly part of the human head and scorpion tail, he finally realized that there was a big scorpion on his back, and he began to struggle frantically, trying to throw it off.

"Oh?" Tie Cantou lowered his head slightly, stared at his feet with the binocular monitor emitting a dark red light, and paused for a second.

after…

"Om... huh!!!"

Directly use a chainsaw to easily wring open the skin that cannot be damaged by even 40mm grenades, and then control the missile launcher on the left to hit the gap at close range.

"call out!!"

A slender missile shot out of the barrel, and went straight into the body of the fortress.

With almost no waiting time or delay, a fireball with a diameter of about forty meters was instantly generated from the inside out, swallowing the entire striker and the iron can.

"Boom!!!" Violent explosions and strong impacts followed.

Yang Lin, who had just stood up, bent his back again to face the explosion, while his comrades also bowed their heads quickly.

After the shock wave receded and the flames dissipated, a small mushroom cloud replaced the previous fireball. Smoke filled the entire street, and visibility dropped to the lowest point.

"Boom, boom."

However, Yang Lin and all his comrades could clearly hear the sound of some kind of metal boots stepping on the road.

At the same time, the pair of dark red "eyes" of the tin can were also particularly obvious in the thick smoke, and they were also staring at Yang Lin who was protecting the baby.

After a while.

The "eyes" disappeared one by one, which represented the iron can that was still safe at the core of the explosion, and seemed to turn around, facing the collapsed gap dug by the key strike.

Then...

"Ri~----嘡-嘡-嘡!!!"

A burst of "crispy" and "moving", but not too ear-shattering sound of heavy guns and flames continued to spread from the core area of ​​​​the smoke.

see.

A group of comrades got up and left the bunker, and came around Yang Lin one after another to ensure the safety of Yang Lin and the baby in his arms.

Immediately afterwards, the helmet was more advanced, and the platoon leader with the thermal imaging function looked in the direction of the core of the smoke, but the result was a blur, which seemed to be disturbed.

Then he ordered: "Xiao Gao, take the two of you forward ten meters, and investigate properly. I always feel that the smoke lasted a bit too long. It may be the interference method released by the iron can."

"Yes, platoon leader."

Immediately after receiving the order, three people wanted to move forward.

"Shua-! Shua-!"

But before the three soldiers started their actions, bright blue clusters of light suddenly flashed around them.

Immediately afterwards, more blue paintings, as well as iron cans dressed up as ancient Roman guards and centurions, surrounded the soldiers in the center like a flash.

The smoke that was suspected by the platoon leader to have a disturbing function also began to dissipate quickly as more than a dozen new iron cans "entered".

now.

The platoon leader, Yang Lin, and the others discovered that the previous iron can not only blew up the main combat class to dross, but also used the rotating cannon clamped by the mechanical arm to create a huge gap between himself and the tank class. In the "absolute vacuum" zone, there was only one person guarding the entire street.

However, more than a dozen iron cans who "flashed" beside them with unknown technology were also taking heavy steps to officially "enter the game".

"Be careful to reduce the muzzle velocity of the warhead below the speed of sound." One of the tin cans reminded all the partners in a metallic tone.

next.

Amidst the confusion and astonishment of the "local" soldiers, the dozen or so iron cans had already been hit by reverse thrusts, and even two of them jumped into the underground tunnel dug by the foreman.

"Damn it...platoon leader, who are these people?"

"Old Liu, you have to ask if those big guys are human."

After the street returned to normal, a group of soldiers finally started talking.

"How do I know who those tin cans are? Maybe they are the secret troops developed above." The platoon leader also shook his head.

"Hey..." At this time, there was a busy tone from everyone's communication, and then an officer with an older voice, who could be recognized as a senior general, issued an order on the public frequency:

"I am Major General Gao Tiankuo of the Third Field Army. The whole army pays attention. The soldiers with blue paint are all friendly soldiers of the human empire.

Note that those fighters are allies. "
