Jack Clark’s figure shot through the dilapidated buildings at a fast speed, covering tens of meters in a second, and quickly crossed half of the urban village to return to rhe front battlefield.
However, the battle here is already nearing its end.
Buildings were collapsed by rhe heavy artillery of tanks, and there were huge bullet holes left by the machine gun fire everywhere, and the ground was filled with bloodied rebels’ corpses.
This time, almost half of the urban village was affected by the battle, and many buildings were ignited by the artillery fire, with billowing black smoke rising under the burning flames, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Luckily this place has already been abandoned.
Boom! At this moment, the roar of a distant tank echoed, and a shell fell on a group of rebels hiding on the rooftop, with the explosion’s fire engulfing the entire building.
By this time, some soldiers have already come down from the armored cars, compressing the battlefield by dividing into small teams and surrounding the remaining rebels who were resisting by relying on a few small buildings.
As for Justin Welan and the other two, they were standing next to a half-collapsed building, panting, their battle armors dyed red with blood, and their bodies radiating a strong smell of blood.
In addition to them, there was also an armored convoy that came to support, which was also the reason why the rebels were wiped out so quickly.
Howard Lee, who looked as mighty as a giant, slowly picked up his iron column, and in front of him, an off-road vehicle trying to flee was directly crushed.
The rebels inside had already turned into a mass of flesh and blood, unrecognizable.
Jack Clark s figure flashed and landed in front of Justin Welan and the others: “Mr. Willard, are you guys okay?”
“I’m fine. I had a great time killing. Jack, you didn’t see me when I was holding the heavy machine gun and sweeping the area with it. I was so cool.” Justin Welan said excitedly.
However, his heavy shield was now full of potholes, many of the sharp edges were broken, and many parts were embedded with deformed bullets halfway in.
There was even a trace of a hand grenade explosion on it.
Zac Lyons grinned, showing an effort to wave his hand, “1 won’t die either.” His chest was covered with several small dents where the alloy had been punched in, probably by being shot by high-powered bullets.
Although the bullets did not penetrate the alloy, the impact still made him cough up blood uncomfortably, feeling like his ribs were broken.
White Veil was in better shape among the three, practicing a speed-based Cultivation Methods and matching swordsmanship Although looking a bit embarrassed, his demeanor was somewhat relaxed.
“Jack, what’s the situation on your side?” Justin Welan asked.
“It’s alright, Marcus Lee is fine.”
Jack Clark nodded, “Another classmate was shot in the thigh by a sniper rifle, but there was no life-threatening danger, as for the sniper who attempted to assassinate from the dark, I killed him.”
Zac Lyons frowned, “These Evil God Sect guys and those rebels really don’t fear death.”
White Veil shook his head, “It’s not that they don’t fear death, but their thinking is influenced or polluted by the existence of rhe source after practicing the quick-success methods of rhe Evil God Sect.”
“Including those rebels who cooperated with the Evil God Sect, many people’s thinking might have been unconsciously influenced, otherwise they wouldn’t be so crazy.”
“Their thinking can be influenced by the ‘source’; the Evil God Sect’s Cultivation Methods are so scary!” Jack Clark was somewhat surprised.
White Veil bitter smiled, “I was also shocked when 1 first heard about it, but this is the terrifying aspect of the Evil God Sect; their Cultivation Methods are different from the true martial ones we practice.”
“Or to say that those Cultivation Methods are not meant for humans to practice at all, it s very strange.”
As they spoke, the four walked towards the armored convoy in the back.
On their way passing an overturned armored car, although the soldiers inside had already evacuated. Jack Clark and Justin Welan, White Veil, still joined forces to flip it back over.
However, when they saw the half-charred corpse of their classmate with a bloody hole in his chest shot through by an anti-equipment sniper rifle, the four fell silent.
He didn’t expect anyone to die in battle just after two days, and that too under the circumstances where there was an expert secretly following behind.
At this moment, Jack Clark was very grateful that he prioritized strengthening defense, although he had dodged those sniper bullets in advance.
But there’s a huge difference in the concept of not being able to block and being able to block but dodging the attack anyway.
In a short while, Howard Lee, carrying an iron column, and rhe other three students came over as well.
Following them, Lori Parma and female teacher Sylvia Lyons and another military expert, who were as fast as ghosts, jumping over from the buildings in a few leaps.
Thump! The military expert casually threw down the two cultist corpses in his hand..
In Lori Parma’s hand, she held a heavily injured fanatic who had been knocked unconscious.
Lori Parma fell silent for a moment before speaking in a solemn voice, “Since you’ve chosen the battlefield, you’re no longer just students; you are soldiers. Death and injuries are inevitable.”
“He died fighting against the Evil God Sect. The school and officials will ensure that his family is well-compensated.”
“But his death won’t be in vain. 1 assure you, the Evil God Sect and the rebels will soon pay for this classmate’s demise.”
A student had died on the morning patrol, a piece of news that caused a huge stir among the new freshmen.
On the way back, when Justin Welan and rhe others learned that the sniper Jack Clark had killed was a Third Layer Heaven cultivator, they were somewhat surprised.
Although cultists of the same level were slightly weaker than normal cultivators, a Third Layer Heaven cultivator still held a significant advantage over a Second Layer Heaven cultivator.
“Don’t look at me like that,”
Jack Clark spread his hands, “Mainly, that cultist was quite weak, and 1 had first hit him with a concussion bomb, which allowed me to kill him by sheer luck.”
“Think about it, if that guy were very strong, would he need to hide with a sniper rifle for sneak attacks?”
“That makes sense.” Zac Lyons nodded, agreeing with this explanation.
However, while Zac and the others believed him, Justin Welan couldn’t help but feel suspicious, as he found Jack’s tone to be rather familiar.
Jack initially thought that his classmates would be on edge for a few days, but to his surprise, Justin and Zac hurried off to the Logistics Department the moment they returned to the hotel.
One of them wanted to add color to their battle armor, while the other decided to add wings to his.
“It seems everyone is adapting quite well,” Jack mused as he came to the underground Logistics Department once again to manage his resources.
Today, he had killed a Third Layer Heaven cultivator, which was worth io contribution points. Adding this to the one point he had left over from yesterday, he now had a total of 11 contribution points.
Jack spent eight points and exchanged them for two Level 1 Life Crystals.
This time, however, his luck was poor, and one of the crystals had a meager amount of energy. Upon converting it, Jack only gained 6 Points Attribute, at which he could only shake his head in speechlessness.
Back in his hotel room, Jack immediately chose to strengthen his battle armor by consuming 2 points attribute.
As Jack spoke, an Invisible Power enveloped the black-red armor he had yet to remove, causing the color to deepen slightly.
The helmet felt slightly heavier now.
And the armor’s attribute was now I Solidity* io I
During today’s rescue mission, when he was under sniper fire from the rooftop, Jack had only dodged two bullets. The third sniper bullet had grazed the side of his shoulder.
There was no choice – the sniper bullet was just too fast; even though his Heart’s Eye had sensed danger in advance, it didn’t mean he could avoid all the bullets.
If he had worn normal armor, the sniper bullet would have easily torn through the alloy, leaving a severe injury on one side of his shoulder.
But against the Solidity+8 strengthened heavy shoulder plating, the bullet could only produce a shower of sparks before brushing past, its kinetic energy completely ignored by Jack.
Today’s battle made Jack realize once more the importance of defense. As a result, when he returned, he decided to strengthen his battle armor to its current limit without a second thought.
With Solidity+io, the alloy armor covering Jack’s entire body could now withstand sniper armor-piercing bullets, ensuring that he no longer had to worry about ambushes from hidden snipers.
Jack glanced at his remaining 4 Points Attribute and suppressed the urge to strengthen his weapon.
In the afternoon, as Jack practiced Dragon Elephant Power in his room, he partially focused his attention on the Heavy Armored Beast.
The now over 2-meter-tall black Unique Beast became even more menacing. Although its body wasn’t very large, it had already become the dominant force in this estuary.
An invisible Killing Intent filled the area wherever it went, terrifying the ordinary small fish and shrimp, causing them to flee in a hurry.
All Mutated Fish that entered the range of its waters became prey to the Heavy Armored Beast, even those large fish that were twice as big as itself.
As time went by, with continuous growth and devouring, the Heavy Armored Beast’s Evolution value had accumulated to over 200. It was expected that it would undergo its third evolution in about half a month..
