He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Just ten seconds later, Zhang Beixing closed the book, and the system's notification sounded precisely on time, with a slightly mechanical crispness: "The Dismantling and Disassembly of Standard Artillery Ammunition Systems has been fully mastered, and the skill 'Mastery of Bomb Dismantling Techniques' can be activated immediately. Activate?"

"Withdraw immediately!" Zhang Beixing answered without hesitation, his eyes full of determination.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired mastery of bomb disposal techniques!"

"Active mission has been issued!"

At the same moment the system notification echoed in my mind, a new task instruction suddenly sounded:

"For each person successfully rescued from dire straits, the host will receive a reward of 50 merit points!"

However, before the system notification sound could even finish, Zhang Beixing had already dashed out like a cheetah!

With a sudden burst of power from his toes, his body transformed into an arrow released from a bow, rushing forward at an astonishing speed!

Upon hearing the system task announcement during the journey, Zhang Beixing's eyes suddenly sharpened, a glint of light flashing in them.

At this moment, the fusion rate of the Super Soldier Serum within him is nearing perfection. Under full-power burst conditions, his stamina, strength, and speed will all be greatly enhanced!

The most significant increase is in strength; the power of a single punch can be more than ten times that of an ordinary person, completely comparable to Captain America's peak punch, and even surpassing it!

And as the fusion approached perfection, his control over this power became increasingly adept.

Their physical defenses have also been greatly enhanced. Unless they suffer a fatal blow, even the most severe injuries can be quickly healed through the rapid metabolism of their cells.

Consequently, Zhang Beixing's body will be able to maintain a youthful and energetic state for a long time.

Even when facing long-range attacks from sniper rifle armor-piercing rounds, he can avoid fatal wounds in the blink of an eye thanks to his spider senses.

Although the speed increase is relatively slow, when it is fully unleashed, it has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Even a cheetah may not be able to catch up with Zhang Beixing when he is running at full speed.

It can be said that Zhang Beixing is almost invincible in the field of individual combat!
Two clouds of dust suddenly erupted beneath Zhang Beixing's feet as he pounced through the terrorists' line of fire like a ghost and instantly slipped into the bus.

Moments earlier, the bus was hit by two mortar shells. A fire ignited after the explosion quickly spread, leaving the bus a charred and mangled mess.

The car was filled with the pungent smell of burning fuel, mixed with the strange, smoky aroma of burnt human flesh, which was nauseating.

"Zizzi-"

The constant static in the headphones indicated that the violent impact had damaged the communication equipment.

"Captain, cover me! There's a dud that hasn't exploded yet, give me ten minutes!"

"Be careful! Be extremely careful!" Yang Rui shouted urgently over the channel.

Inside the bus at this moment.

Xu Hongzheng, deputy captain of the Jiaolong Commando Team, was squatting on the ground, covered in sweat, holding a X-ray machine, and looking extremely tense.

He was working hard to dismantle the unexploded mortar shell. The horrific scene and smell around him made him lose his composure, and his fingers trembled slightly.

He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Zhang Beixing's arrival.

Zhang Beixing looked up and was momentarily stunned by the horrific scene before him.

The surviving civilians looked miserable, covered in blood and charred black, with severed limbs scattered in the carriages, and blood congealed into a dark red at their feet.

There was even a piece of intestine, whose owner was unknown, that was blown out, charred, and hung on the roof of the car, swaying slowly in the wind…

Injured and unable to move, civilians were trapped in the burning ruins, uttering desperate cries and screams.

"God, save us!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much..."

"Ahhh! Kill me! Please, just shoot me!"

A civilian who had lost a leg looked on with pleading eyes, clutching Zhang Beixing's military boots tightly with both hands, weeping bitterly, looking utterly miserable.

The scene before my eyes was like hell on earth!
There were still traces of Xu Hong's vomit on the ground. Zhang Beixing suppressed his nausea and quickly walked over to Xu Hong, squatting down beside him.

Xu Hong, who was defusing the bomb, was so nervous that he stopped breathing.

He tried his best to control his trembling fingers, fearing that he might accidentally detonate the bomb and cause everyone on the bus to perish in the flames.

Zhang Beixing glanced at him and spoke directly:
"Give me the bomb disposal equipment, I'll do it!"

Upon hearing those words, Xu Hong was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Zhang Beixing, unable to react for a moment.

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, he took the equipment without waiting for Xu Hong's response.

"you…"

"Shut up, we'll talk later."

Seeing Zhang Beixing's skillful movements, Xu Hong immediately fell silent.

After quickly prying open the shell casing with a screwdriver, Zhang Beixing's expression changed instantly.

Amidst the urgent beeping, he handed over the scissors and, without hesitation, cut one of the wires—the red warning light went out immediately.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, and the demolition was completed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Hong, who was squatting to the side, was stunned. He felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his throat, making it dry and unbearable.

He stared blankly at Zhang Beixing for a long time before finally speaking incredulously, "Five...five seconds?"

Zhang Beixing gave a faint "hmm".

"It's inevitable to be nervous during your first bomb disposal. Please forgive me for wasting a few extra seconds."

He deliberately used a lighthearted tone in an attempt to ease the heavy atmosphere inside the car.

Xu Hong: "..."

First time defusing a bomb?
Xu Hong looked incredulous.

Are you sure this is your first time?
What a liar!
God the hell did being nervous waste time?
I didn't notice it at all...

Xu Hong was deeply affected, feeling that all his years of learning about explosives and bomb disposal had been for nothing!
What a mess.

The tension only lasted five seconds. If we weren't nervous, wouldn't all the bomb disposal experts in the world be out of a job?!
Xu Hong was speechless for a moment, but his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Zhang Beixing.

"Is this really your first time defusing a bomb?"

“Yeah, why would I lie to you?” Zhang Beixing nodded matter-of-factly. “You saw it all in the car just now.”

"In the car?" Xu Hong was taken aback.

After a moment's reaction, his face turned pale. "You just learned this from a book? And you dare to try it?"

As he spoke, Xu secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Ignorance is bliss, as they say. Do you understand the saying that knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial?

I feel like I just had a brush with death!
Fortunately, it was a close call.

The situation was urgent; this was no time for jokes. After saying this, Zhang Beixing rushed out of the car.

"Xu Hong, the rest is up to you!"

"it is good!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Beixing had already leaped off the bus.

At the same time, a system notification sounded: "Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 350 merit points!"

350 merit points? ...

In other words, seven people on the bus ultimately survived.

Compared to total annihilation, this result is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Zhang Beixing stopped dwelling on the matter. After quickly rushing out of the carriage, he picked up an AK-104 assault rifle belonging to the Ivia government forces from the ground and took down several charging terrorists with a burst of fire.

He skillfully maneuvered and dodged the incoming bullets.

Although a single bullet is unlikely to cause serious injury, being hit will still cause bleeding and pain, and no one wants to suffer unnecessarily.

While dodging, Zhang Beixing called out through his earpiece:

"Falcon! Falcon! Have you taken care of the enemy sniper yet?"

He Chenguang responded in a low voice: "The target location has been located, and we are looking for an opportunity to snipe it."

Near the convoy, Yang Rui and his men, along with the remaining government troops, were kept at bay by elusive snipers and the occasional mortar fire.

Upon hearing that the sniper target had been spotted, Yang Rui immediately called Gu Shun:
"Gu Shun, take out the mortar on the hilltop as soon as possible, then coordinate with Falcon to force out the sniper!"

"understand!"

Gu Shun aimed through the sniper scope and saw that the terrorists were hiding behind rocks, carefully dragging an ammunition box with a hook.

They attempted to hide behind cover and continue bombarding the convoy with mortars.

Gu Shun had a sudden inspiration. Instead of stopping them, he quietly watched them move the ammunition boxes filled with mortar shells little by little.

Seizing the opportune moment, just as the ammunition box was about to be pulled into the hands of the terrorists…

--boom!

The sniper bullet whizzed out and hit the shell in the ammunition box.

Immediately following was a loud "boom," the boulder was blasted away, thick smoke billowed up, and all the terrorists hiding behind it were wiped out, completely wiped out.

Upon seeing this, He Chenguang immediately shared the enemy sniper's location with Gu Shun:

"On the third mountain to your right, on the middle slope, it's hidden behind that huge rock."

After obtaining the exact location, Gu Shun immediately opened fire to suppress the enemy sniper.

Behind a boulder on the slope, a curly-haired man with a gruesome scar on his face lay panting on the ground. He appeared tense and fearful, facing a pincer attack from two snipers.

Curly was not very old, about eighteen or nineteen, but the ruthlessness on his face indicated that he was an experienced killer.

Hearing the incessant sniper gunfire around him, Curly's eyes flashed, and he noticed the plate of dried fruit beside him. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

A white light suddenly flashed in Gu Shun's scope, dazzling his eyes.

"Oh no!" Gu Shun exclaimed in alarm, "He's going to run away!"

"They can't escape!" He Chenguang was completely focused.

Gu Shun quickly looked away, but Curly didn't run away immediately. Instead, he hid behind a rock and quietly picked up a helmet he had found.

"boom!"

He Chenguang reacted extremely quickly, shooting the helmet off with a single shot.

The moment his helmet was knocked away, He Chenguang cried out in frustration that he had been tricked!
While the two men were aiming and reloading, Curly quickly leaped up from the ground and jumped down into the ravine.

A motorcycle for his escape was already prepared there, and he immediately started the engine and sped away along the mountain road.

"Report, Captain, the sniper has escaped."

Hearing Li Erniu's observation report coming through the earphones, his tone was full of regret.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing, who had just dealt with the last terrorist, flew into a rage:
"Two snipers couldn't handle one? Falcon, go back and train some more!"

"I'm sorry, Captain, it was my mistake." He Chenguang was full of regret.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Beixing looked around, trying to find a suitable weapon to turn the tide.

His eyes lit up, and luckily, he spotted a government mortar that had fallen from an overturned armored vehicle at his feet.

"Buffalo, report the enemy sniper's location and speed."

Although Li Erniu didn't understand, he still shouted: "Due east, speed 54, current distance 1.2."

Zhang Beixing looked at the mortar on the ground and smiled coldly, muttering to himself:

"An enemy that can escape my grasp... hasn't even been born yet!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Beixing immediately bent down and, under the cover of Zhang Nengliang and Xu Tianlong, skillfully set up the mortar.

He then spent a few seconds doing some quick observation and mental calculations, instantly determining the target point on Curly's escape route.

A glint flashed in Zhang Beixing's eyes, and the mortar shell instantly slipped from his hand and fell into the barrel.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards, a shell was ejected rapidly from the cannon barrel and shot into the sky.

The shell traced a parabola in the air before beginning to fall.

Curly-haired man sped along on his motorcycle, glancing back every now and then.

Although he had escaped the sniper rifle's maximum range, he still felt uneasy.

Just then, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air!

The shell, accompanied by a hissing sound, landed precisely in the path of the motorcycle, much to Curly's incredulous and horrified gaze!
"NO!" Curly-haired man roared hoarsely.

"boom!"

After the loud explosion, the motorcycle and Curly were blown to pieces.

Holding binoculars, Li Erniu shouted excitedly, "Target destroyed! Brother Beixing is awesome!"

Seeing his shot hit the target, Zhang Beixing laughed triumphantly and took the opportunity to encourage his dust-covered teammates:
"See that? One shot from the flying cannon takes the head off, that's the legendary sniper cannon!"

……

After a fierce battle, all the terrorists were wiped out.

The Ivia government forces suffered heavy casualties, with only one-tenth of their fighting capacity remaining.

Fortunately, under the calm command of Zhang Beixing and Yang Rui, no one from the Red Cell Team and the Jiaolong Commando Unit was killed in action.

Nevertheless, everyone except Zhang Beixing was injured, with Gu Shun being the most seriously wounded—his ear was grazed by a sniper bullet, and he still suffers from tinnitus and needs to rest.

The bus crisis was averted, but fewer than ten people survived, and the atmosphere was somber. The refugees buried their loved ones on the spot and then wept quietly.

The convoy was destroyed by mortar fire, leaving only three armored vehicles operational.

The government forces are willing to provide one vehicle to Zhang Beixing and his group, while the other two vehicles will change their route to escort the refugees to the evacuation point.

Zhang Beixing nodded in agreement.

After the battle, everyone, from the Red Cell team to the Jiaolong Commando, was exhausted. Their bodies and faces were covered in blood and mud, making their camouflage paint look even more menacing.

Zhang Nengliang sat on the ground, holding a rifle, lost in thought.

This battle was so shocking to him that it was beyond his imagination!

Bullets whizzed overhead; a stray bullet could strike and kill them at any moment. Their nerves were taut like a bowstring, unable to relax for a second.

The sheer horror of witnessing carnage and life-or-death struggles up close is indescribable.

Zhang Beixing glanced at him from afar and walked forward slowly.

Zhang Beixing walked slowly towards Zhang Nengliang, who was crouching in the shadow of the armored vehicle. The soles of his boots crunched over the gravel. He deliberately made his expression appear relaxed, but his eyes still sharply scanned his surroundings.

“You did alright just now,” Zhang Beixing said, his voice a little softer than usual. “I thought you would be so scared that you would wet your pants, but you didn’t. You did look like a soldier.”

Zhang Nengliang raised his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused, his lips trembling slightly. He opened his mouth, but said nothing, only nodding unconsciously. (End of Chapter)
