Chapter 9 (2/2)

Booom, booom, booom!! The heavy firepower from the infantry energy cannon suppressed the giant beetle swarm. This reduced the pressure on the temporary station that Qin Hao and the rest were in. At the same time, the three other soldiers also opened fire and took any giant beetles that had survived the cannon.

“How’s it going?!” Ralph shouted while frantically shooting. Although the infantry energy cannon was powerful, its energy was limited. Ralph was strong, but carrying an energy cannon was already not easy, and it was impossible for him to carry additional battery packs.

“Communicating. The black mist seems to be interfering with the signal!” Qin Hao shouted back. On the chaotic battlefield, if one did not shout, it would be difficult to hear anyone even if they were next to each other.

“Hurry up! I’m almost dry!” Ralph shouted back. In fact, not only him, and even the three mechanized infantry beside him were running out of ammo.

Tat tat tat… Boom boom!! The sound of gunfire and cannons were intertwined in Qin Hao’s ears. Even when there was a massive swarm of bugs before him, Qin Hao did not even lift his head. He had entrusted his safety to his comrades while he concentrated on operating the laser designator; this was called battlefield trust.

“Done!” A few minutes later, Qin Hao shouted excitedly.

“Good! The air support should quickly come and bomb the hell out of these sons of b*tches!” Ralph laughed.

Vooshhh!

“Urgh!”

A sharp thorn had flown out of nowhere and stabbed straight through Ralph’s chest!

“Ugh…” Ralph looked at his chest. The sharp thorn had already been nailed into his chest, and green mucus started to glow around the wound.

“Qin Hao, plug the gap!” Ralph gritted his teeth. Thanks to his strong body, he managed to keep himself from falling.

“Roger!” Qin Hao turned over and took Ralph’s position. He held up Ralph’s energy cannon and continue to fire at the insect swarm. At that moment, the laser designator would maintain contact with the bombers, so there was no need for anyone to operate it anymore.

Boom boom booom!! The energy cannon roared in Qin Hao’s hands. He originally could not control the heavy weapon, but after he had his arm replaced with the robotic arm, his strength increased by a lot although his flexibility was impaired. Hence, Qin Hao could lift the heavy energy cannon with just one hand.

“Bang!” A gunshot rang out behind Qin Hao. Without needing to look back, Qin Hao knew what had happened. Ralph had taken out his pistol and put himself out of his misery.

“Kill them all!” Right then, the four remaining soldiers, Qin Hao included, went berserk. No one expected to go back alive, and the only thing they needed to do was protect the laser designator until the bombers completed their attack. After that, it was all about killing their foes and taking as many down together with them.

Half a minute later, Qin Hao and the rest heard the rumbling of the warplanes. It was obvious that the bomb squadron had arrived!

Whirrrr! The tail of a super-heavy aerial bomb ripped through the air, and that meant the bomb squadron had begun to drop their payload.

“Get down!!” Qin Hao subconsciously yelled out. Since they are not too far away from the behemoth, once the super-heavy aerial bombs exploded, they might get caught in the blast.

However, the three mechanized soldiers did not move as they continued to shoot at the insect swarm close by. Everyone knew that even if they did not get caught in the blast, they had no chance of going back alive. So, rather than lying on the ground and waiting for their doom, they might as well kill a few more insects before they died!
