Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 333 332. Is there a kind of inner happiness in the feeling of crushing others in level?

In the relatively spacious room, the explosives thrown by the enemy were causing debris to fall all over the floor. With only five people and five guns, it was indeed very dangerous.

Of course, in addition to the little girl who greeted her at the beginning, there were three girls who looked almost identical to her, and... and a woman who was covering her left arm and still insisting on shooting outside.

The other girl also had long black hair that was a little messy now. The difference between her and those little girls was that she looked more developed. The school uniform was obviously two sizes too big and a little tight on her.

Everyone has the same model of AR, but it may be an older model. After shooting for a while, they have to find a way to troubleshoot and reset the stuck bolt.

Hearing the voice behind her, the woman turned around. Under her bangs that were restrained by a small hairpin on one side, her eyes were narrowed for some reason, but there was no expression on her face - instead, there was a look of surprise.

"I thought you were the Discipline Director... You look like a teacher?"

"Well, I'm a temporary martial arts instructor, but now's not the time for small talk—Xiao Tao, what do you think they're doing?"

In the communication, Xiaotao's voice was quite excited, because she was standing behind the bunker, holding her weapon horizontally with both hands, and shooting at the opponent with faith.

"Oh! Teacher, let me tell you! A small group of people have sneaked into the lower level of this building. I see they're carrying a lot of bags. Are they planning to go up and put all of you in bags?"

Seifer took over the window where the other person was, and at this distance he easily shot a man hiding in the opposite building in the face with his pistol.

"This building is going to be blown up. It's probably going to collapse completely."

"The enemy probably only intends to capture some alive, or not at all, so I'm going to use extreme measures next. So all of you follow me."

The woman who was obviously the leader of the group of little girls nodded slightly. "I understand, but our reinforcements can't get in. Now we are surrounded. Retreating... should be difficult, right?"

"That depends on how you define difficult."

Cypher observed from the window and then said in the communication: "Give our vehicle a calibration signal, it's time for fire support."

"Oh~ Is it finally coming? Leave it to me—"

As Xiaotao shouted excitedly, a heavy artillery shell suddenly struck the group of helmeted and masked men surrounding them.

Then came the resounding explosion of the bombardment, the impact instantly sending everything flying. The punishment process established by the city management system perfectly replicated the impact of the bombardment...

In addition to those fatal problems, all those affected were completely disabled in the dazzling flashes of lightning without even having time to scream, and even that kind of medicine could not save them.

The attack was effective, and Xiaotao in the communication was extremely excited, even though the damage was not caused by her at all.

After the roar, the guys in the Helmet Regiment were obviously scared, and their firepower instantly became sparse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Seifer led the group of people in the house to the roof quickly.

During this process, the guys from the Helmet Regiment immediately dispersed and hid more secretly behind various bunkers. They then used a large number of smoke bombs to confuse the vision and continued to suppress the fire.

Cypher waited a moment, but didn't see the second cannon. He inquired over the comms, only to hear Vivi's disgruntled response: "Ah? A second cannon? What are you thinking? After they replaced our ammunition racks, they even dismantled the autoloader and installed some other components."

"Miyuki and I are trying to get the shells out of the ammunition rack, don't worry!"

After all, it was a siege cannon, and the caliber of the shells... was quite exaggerated. Although the bombardment was carried out using the city's procedures, the process still had to be followed.

Seeing that the artillery fire from an unknown source hadn't returned, the Helmeted Regiment immediately took on greater momentum, deploying more explosives to pin the reinforcements outside their perimeter. They also used choking fog and incendiary bombs to directly block any frontal support. The hunters on the rooftop... well, the snipers were also firing at random, forcing the trapped group to slow down and bide their time to escape.

At this moment, Cypher suddenly called out, "Can we cut off the other party's communication link?"

"Sure...but you can go a little further."

After saying this, the communication on Xiang's side was cut off. At the same time, all the guys in helmets and masks suddenly covered their ears, as if they had suffered some indescribable shock.

But in just a moment, they became leaderless yet still managed to hold their line... Are these guys really just a bunch of armed thugs who haven't entered society yet and only play pranks in the academy?!
Seifer asked this subconsciously, and the squinty-eyed man with long, straight black hair abruptly replied, "Of course. That's their academy's training strategy. And these are just the vanguard teams."

"If we fail to break out here, the next reinforcements will likely include armored units or even..."

An independent mercenary's body, a specialized system creation type.

Everyone knows this, and since Cypher isn't in his mecha form right now, he's at an overwhelming disadvantage.

So they immediately seized the opportunity to continue ascending. With Seifer calmly blocking the opponent's shooting and directing the electric current used to determine if someone was shot to the ground of the building, the group finally reached the top floor.

However, for the sake of appearance, this floor is made entirely of glass and attractive translucent panels except for the ceiling beams - it is almost as if the hunters have already been prepared and are just waiting for a group of people to come up and kill them.

The tank's main gun can't hit, and those guys who planted the explosives below will definitely not consider the consequences... Seifer thought for a moment, and suddenly reached out to the girl next to him who was obviously younger and whose bangs covered her eyes.

"Give me your gun."

"Oh...oh oh..."

She handed the familiar-looking gun she was holding to Cypher... Well, it was an older model, a bottom-feed, full-power sniper rifle...

Although it only has machine aiming, it should be enough. After all, when Cypher uses weapons, he relies on threat scanning assistance most of the time and essentially does not need to aim the weapon.

After confirming the ammunition, Seifer asked the group to wait for a moment - then, with a fearless attitude, he suddenly jumped out from the corridor entrance, where he was being stared at by several guns.

The sliding speed was so fast that the sniper's first shot missed. Seifer jumped up, held the gun handle firmly with one hand, and pulled the trigger.

A gunshot rang out, and the enemy sniper screamed and fell to the ground twitching. Then, Seifer moved as if to freeze, suddenly aimed at the other side, and pulled the trigger again.

Another gunshot rang out, and the second sniper fell, but this was just the beginning.

These students are still too naive to deal with independent mercenaries... or rather, these completely unreasonable execution robots that are disguised as independent mercenaries but are actually who knows what else.

Snipers fell one after another, and the tank finally finished reloading. The second shot landed where the enemies were the most, blasting the ground into pieces again.

When Seifer dealt with the last sniper, slung his weapon over his back, and stretched out his hand to call the people behind him to come over, he suddenly heard a dull explosion.

The building beneath my feet shook violently, and the beautiful glass cracked into spider-web-like patterns.
