In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 26 Fierce Battle

Twenty-five minutes after the explosion, the channel reported that Group Two had rendezvoused with Group One.

Then came another burst of gunfire.

"The enemy is armed, and a firefight has occurred."

Zhang Like watched from the outside, observing the windows that occasionally emitted flashes of light. Combined with the victory reports coming through the channel, he could clearly see layer upon layer of enemies being wiped out by the special operations team.

The gunmen were probably just ordinary people, completely outmatched by the special agents who were all superhumans.

The most prevalent life bone in the Federation is the Earth element, one of the Five Elements, which can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

Whether in modern or ancient times, the lithification provided by soil properties offers a significant advantage.

Petrified bodies are like a suit of iron armor, making people impervious to swords and spears.

Modern bulletproof vests, combined with petrification, can withstand rifle fire, making them virtually invincible when used for assaults with a shield.

In gunfights, a single shot can often determine life or death, especially since special counter-insurgency troop carriers are equipped with large drum-shot shotguns, making them virtually unstoppable at close range.

Soon, the houses on the right side of the mahjong parlor were cleared out, while the houses on the left side were completely suppressed by Zhang Like's three groups.

But now no one dares to relax even a little, and the command center keeps emphasizing vigilance.

Because the superhuman on the other side has not appeared from beginning to end.

command center.

The task force members were in disarray, and if Lin Zhiyan hadn't sat still and issued orders in an orderly manner, the whole situation would have collapsed.

"I want to go to the front lines."

Lin Zhiyan suddenly made a decision, and his assistant almost jumped up to persuade him, "Team Leader Lin, we still have the upper hand. The special operations team has already wiped out most of the enemy. There's no need for you to take risks."

Regardless of Lin Zhiyan's identity, as the commander, she shouldn't have taken any risks.

“No, the situation is very dangerous.” Lin Zhiyan shook his head and said, “We have already suffered casualties before the enemy’s supernatural power has even been deployed. They must have other plans for this. I’m going to the front line not to continue fighting, but to cover the retreat of the front-line combat personnel.”

"But you can't take the risk, you're a precious woman..."

The assistant was cut off mid-sentence by a cold gaze.

“My death is the same as theirs.”

Lin Zhiyan commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Drive to the front line."

Flames spread through the building. The members of the second team jumped directly from the second floor. Despite carrying dozens of kilograms of weight, they were still able to move swiftly, at most running with a limp.

At this moment, they were incredibly grateful for the improved physical fitness brought about by life development.

Although they cannot fly or teleport, they are still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The third floor is located 50 meters behind the mahjong parlor.

Laugo and a brown-skinned Siamese man are watching the battlefield through the window.

At this moment, Shan Yong, who was short in stature, ran in from outside. His face had burn marks, and he said excitedly, "That was awesome! This blast has left these cops completely dazed. If we fire a few more, we'll send them all to heaven."

He had just used his ability to burrow underground to observe from a hidden alley, and it was the first time he had seen a policeman beaten so badly.

Lao Gao asked, "How many police officers were injured or killed?"

"Judging from the number of people, four or five should be dead, most of the rest are injured, and there is a team that is completely unharmed."

"What about our people?"

"Uh... most of them are dead."

As they exchanged questions and answers, the joy on Shan Yong's face gradually faded, and he came to his senses.

They recruited dozens of gang members from the Cangwu City gang. Although they were all ordinary people, they could always kill a few policemen if they laid an ambush.

However, in this encounter, they only managed to kill four or five people in the surprise attack, and then another team of special agents who arrived later killed most of them.

"A good result."

Lao Gao wasn't too surprised; how could a bunch of thugs who were always fighting and ruthless be a match for a special agent?

If it weren't for the Indian man beside him, these cops would probably be unharmed. He turned to the Siamese man and said, "How many more explosions can you do?"

The Siamese are capable of creating an explosion, but the range is only 100 meters, and the power of the explosion is greatly reduced in open areas.

"three times."

The Siamese man held up four fingers, and Lao Gao broke off one for this illiterate man, saying, "When you hear my signal, one time cover me as I approach, another time wait for Yongzi to lead you closer and blow it up into the crowd, and the last time it's up to you to do it yourself."

"Yongzi, be smart later, I'm going to keep them all here."

"Damn! Are we going to go that far?"

Shan Yong worriedly said, "Killing so many police officers at once might attract even more powerful superhumans to hunt us down."

“This is the mission.” Lao Gao’s tone became more serious. “If we don’t stir up trouble, the iron chain on the border will tighten even more, and none of the brothers who are trying to escape will be able to get out.”

"Just like we have these past few days, every move allows the strip to pinpoint its location more precisely."

Currently, the federal government is hunting down bandits across the country, deploying them in small groups to local areas and then using local forces to carry out the encirclement and suppression.

The cops can get supplies and support anytime, anywhere, while the outlaws are all alone.

They have already exhausted all their efforts just to meet the metabolic needs of life's development.

If this continues, not a single person will be able to escape.

He came here to kill people. As long as chaos breaks out in the border area, forcing the government to send troops to support them, the brothers who are fleeing for their lives will have a chance to catch their breath.

Lao Gao broke through the window first, his figure disappearing into the dark alley like a ghost.

Newsstand area.

The members of Groups 1 and 2 retreated to the position of Group 3, where Zhang Like was located. After a short rest, they awaited further instructions from the command center.

boom!
An explosion occurred on the street in front of the mahjong parlor. Flames appeared out of nowhere, and a violent shockwave, carrying smoke and scorching heat, slammed into the people behind the newsstand and the bunker.

"Cough...cough cough..." Thick smoke instantly engulfed the field of vision, choking people so much that they couldn't open their eyes and their ears were ringing.

Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, a figure rapidly approaches.

Lin Zhiyan's voice came through the channel: "There's someone approaching you from directly ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gunners in the squad opened fire without hesitation, flames licking at the thick smoke. Then, in the next moment, something unexpected happened.

After changing the magazine, Zhang Like touched the trigger with his fingertip.

Pfft!

The rifle barrel in his hand seemed to be encased in an invisible furnace, instantly melting away. Strangely, when the molten metal dripped onto his hand, he felt no burning sensation.

"The gun barrel has been turned into something else?!"

Exclamations arose from the surrounding area, and the machine gunners ceased firing.

The figure had already approached the first special agent teammate. Seeing that he couldn't escape and had no weapons, the latter turned around and pounced on him.

"court death!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Lao Gao severed the man in half at the waist with the twisted iron blade in his hand.

Seeing this, the other special agents nearby rushed over without hesitation. However, having lost their weapons, they were at a disadvantage against the ruthless bandits who were clearly more advanced in their life skills, both in terms of supernatural abilities and physical strength.

Even petrified bodies couldn't stop the opponent's iron blade.

puff!
Two more people fell to the ground.

Just as Lao Gao was about to attack the others, his vision suddenly became violently distorted.

An invisible spiritual force rushed into his head, and the earth was no longer the earth; the sky was spinning and turning upside down.

He could only rely on his hearing to wildly swing his knife around.

At the last second, another explosion erupted in the empty newspaper kiosk area.
