Chapter 124: Reinforcements for the Little Brother
Cheng Qisheng did not give this Tier 5 Safe City any time to react. She immediately initiated a Safe City War against it.
The divine oracle of the Great Blue Sea Creator God was simultaneously sent out to all the believers.
It was only after initiating the Safe City War that she had time to notice that this Tier 5 Safe City was called Sanluo Safe City.
And Coriander had actually reached Tier 5 in an astonishingly short amount of time as well.
Sanluo Safe City was already locked in a fierce battle with Coriander Safe City. Residents from both sides had occupied territory within each other’s domains, and neither side had been able to gain the upper hand. This made it particularly convenient for Blue Sea to intervene.
—By now, the Blue Sea people were already very familiar with the whole process of initiating a Safe City War.
Once the war passage connected, it was the same as always: large numbers of Blue Sea people equipped with flying wings flew toward the enemy city, occupying as much territory as possible in the shortest time.
Lu Song was among them.
This was a Safe City War, which meant there were Blue Sea people everywhere. It was one of the rare occasions when he could really let loose and fight to his heart’s content without having to worry about getting lost.
Yes, even in the previous world, Lu Song still hadn’t become a believer.
Although he had earned a great deal of credit for bringing back the nutrient-solution synthesizing machine aboard the Changming, and had received a substantial amount of points as a reward, after returning, he discovered that many of the ordinary civilians rescued from Kansidang’s domain, as well as the Lilithians, had smoothly become believers of the great Creator God.
At that point, he didn’t even have the energy left to have a mental breakdown.
Lu Song now understood the Blue Sea people particularly well.
Fighting really was a great way to vent!
He had been holding everything in for so long. At last, he had finally gotten his chance to fight.
Lu Song naturally hadn’t received the divine oracle, but when he saw everyone charging forward, he simply grabbed his weapon and followed them. He was even faster than many of the native Blue Sea people.
When he reached the front lines and was just about to land, several soldiers dressed in bizarre-looking outfits suddenly rushed out of the enemy Safe City. They raised equally bizarre-looking guns and fired directly at him.
Flying wings had always been extremely tough. Lu Song instinctively prepared to use his wings to shield himself from the shot.
But before he could do so, his brain had already sensed the danger on instinct. He abruptly twisted to the side and dodged the attack.
“Vmmm—”
The moment the gun activated, it let out a strange humming sound, followed by a loud “Bang!”
A green, electrically charged sphere shot out at a speed even greater than a bullet. If Lu Song hadn’t dodged in time, it would have at least grazed him.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Lu Song spun and soared through the air, escaping the enemy’s attack range. As he did, he looked back at the wall behind the spot where he had been moments earlier.
The place where he had originally intended to land appeared to be some kind of important warehouse belonging to the Safe City.
The wall was extremely thick, with steel plates embedded within the concrete, yet the attack had instantly melted a hole roughly the size of a soccer ball straight through it.
White smoke was still sizzling from the edges of the hole, serving as further proof of the weapon’s terrifying power.
It was easy to imagine that even a pair of flying wings would probably be pierced through if struck by something that powerful.
The way Lu Song looked at the gun immediately changed.
What kind of gun is that? How does it have so much firepower?
What a great gun! I want one!
Those were the only thoughts occupying Lu Song’s mind. While dodging more attacks, he flew a little higher.
“Click-click—”
The distant sound of something opening and closing reached his ears. Lu Song’s ears twitched, and he looked up to see several dozen Sanluo people jogging toward him.
The Sanluo people did not wear shoes. Their feet were enormous, resembling flippers, and at that moment, their huge toes were repeatedly tapping against the ground, producing the clicking sound.
Lu Song didn’t know whether this was a unique method of communication among the Sanluo people, but he knew one thing: he couldn’t let them get close to him.
He wasn’t powerful enough to take on dozens of them at once.
Lu Song hoisted a disposable rocket launcher onto his right shoulder and fired at the enemy troops pouring toward him from a distance.
—BOOM!!
The blast wiped out the possibility of enemy reinforcements reaching the area. Without the slightest hesitation, he discarded the launcher, pulled the semi-automatic shotgun hanging from his body into his hands, and took advantage of his aerial superiority to unleash a fierce barrage of attacks.
Bang bang bang bang—
After firing thirty rounds, Lu Song didn’t reload. Instead, he smoothly slung the gun back onto his body, took down a rifle hanging there, and continued raining bullets down like a torrential storm.
At the same time, he kept changing his position in midair to prevent the enemy’s high-powered weapon from hitting him.
The enemy had originally been using a truck as cover, but the relentless barrage kept them from even showing their heads.
Although Lu Song really wanted to obtain a complete, powerful weapon of unknown origin, he wasn’t so obsessed with keeping it intact that he would refuse to use overwhelming firepower when he had it available.
He firmly believed that a good weapon should be made of tough materials, too!
—Blue Sea only needed weapons powerful enough to get the job done!
While inwardly complaining that his way of thinking was becoming more and more like a Blue Sea person’s, Lu Song waited for the right moment, pulled a grenade from his pocket, yanked out the safety pin, and hurled it over.
—BOOM!!!
This time, the enemy truly had nowhere left to hide.
Five minutes later, Lu Song landed lightly and picked up the gun with the circular handle, examining it lovingly over and over.
What a treasure. What an absolute treasure!
With such a magnificent weapon, his combat strength would increase by at least thirty percent.
A squad of purple-skinned soldiers lay sprawled among the ruins. From a distance, they aimed their guns at Lu Song, who had been flying around in the sky like a bird and had finally landed.
—Bang!
The purple-skinned soldier who had fired the shot collapsed.
The remaining purple-skinned soldiers immediately descended into chaos.
“Click-click! Click-click!”
Their toes hammered against the ground even more violently as they shouted to one another:
“A sniper!!”
“There’s a sniper!!”
“We can’t sense anyone on the ground around us!”
They looked around frantically, only to raise their eyes and see a winged person above them, flapping her wings while somehow “sitting” in midair, with nothing beneath her body.
In her hands was a sniper rifle.
And there wasn’t even a stock attached to the front of the sniper rifle.
This sniper was so high up in the sky, at such an incredible distance, yet she could support the rifle with nothing but her arms and still hit her target.
As the saying went, only someone in the same line of work could truly appreciate how impressive this was.
The enemy sniper could actually fly through the sky, and she could hit targets with pinpoint accuracy even without a stock. How were they supposed to fight someone like that?
The purple-skinned soldiers took a step back as they stared at the sniper in the sky. They covered their heads, ducked down, and began scattering in all directions.
Lu Song noticed what was happening as well. He waved toward the unfamiliar Blue Sea resident above and shouted with a broad grin:
“Thanks!!”
The sniper above maintained her seated position in midair. Her wings were flapping even faster now, apparently out of curiosity, and she shouted back:
“What the heck is that gun?! How do you use it?!”
Lu Song shouted back even louder:
“No idea! All I know is that it’s good stuff! Keep an eye on things for me while I test it out!”
The Blue Sea sniper above gave him a thumbs-up with one hand.
This was one of the things Lu Song loved most about Blue Sea.
On the battlefield, even if he had never met a particular Blue Sea resident before, he could still entrust his life to them without hesitation.
He wasn’t a believer, so the other person might not completely trust him.
But Lu Song completely trusted the Blue Sea residents.
So seriously! What exactly did he have to do to become a believer of the great Creator God and truly become family with these reliable and friendly Blue Sea residents?!
Lu Song had an excellent memory and sharp eyesight. Recalling the way the soldier had fired the gun earlier, he fumbled around until he figured it out.
First, he pressed down on a yellow spot near the top.
The gun began to vibrate faintly, as though something inside it were spinning at extremely high speed.
If Lu Song hadn’t been gripping it tightly with both hands, the frequency of the vibrations alone might have shaken the gun right out of his hands.
Clinging desperately to the gun while waiting for the timing, he figured enough time had passed and suddenly pulled the trigger.
“Vmmm—”
“BANG!!!”
Sure enough, another large, circular hole had appeared in the wall.
Cheng Qisheng, who had noticed what was happening here, exclaimed, “Ohhh!”
What kind of gun was that?
It was incredibly powerful. You could tell at a glance that it was high-tech.
Sanluo Safe City already had weapons like this, so how was it still only a Tier 5 Safe City?
As she wondered about this, Cheng Qisheng observed the battlefield again through the perspective of another believer. She confirmed that there really weren’t many of these guns. Across the entire Sanluo Safe City, she could only spot roughly five hundred of them.
They were probably something Sanluo Safe City had obtained from the apocalypse world.
The question was whether they had actually come from this world.
Down below, Lu Song hurried over and stared at the wall that had been completely blasted through. His heart was pounding with excitement, and he couldn’t help shouting:
“Woohoo!”
The Blue Sea sniper above was much calmer.
She didn’t even shout very loudly.
“Woohoo~”
Ever since entering the battlefield, the Blue Sea sniper had simply followed the principle of “Wherever I’m needed, that’s where I’ll go.” But after seeing the power of this weapon, her gaze couldn’t help wandering around the battlefield.
—What a great gun! She wanted one too!
It was hard to imagine just how happy she would be as a believer of the great Creator God if she could have a gun like this herself.
And the number of Blue Sea residents thinking the exact same thing continued to increase.
The enemy bringing out a powerful weapon hadn’t driven the Blue Sea residents back.
Instead, it had made them even more excited.
How was this supposed to be intimidation?
This was obviously a reward!
For a moment, the Blue Sea residents, who were already fighting with great enthusiasm, suddenly felt like they had even more strength to throw into the battle!
—BOOM!!!
—Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
—Bang bang!!
Gunshots, cannon fire, and explosions rang out like they were competing with one another, never stopping and only growing more intense.
The Tier 5 Safe City that had been in the position of an invader just minutes ago had, in the blink of an eye, replaced Coriander Safe City as the new battlefield.
Naturally, the Blue Sea residents hadn’t all swarmed into Sanluo Safe City.
Cheng Qisheng hadn’t forgotten that her primary purpose was to serve as reinforcements.
Coriander Safe City was in complete chaos.
Several Coriander Safe City residents were running across the ruins.
Their guns had already run out of ammunition, while the enemy still had plenty of firearms that could kill them from a distance. Their only option was to run for their lives, putting as much distance as possible between themselves and the enemy to maximize their chances of survival.
—Click-click!
—Click-click!
Hearing the sound of the Sanluo people’s toes striking the ground from far away was not a good sign.
The sound allowed them to know that Sanluo people were nearby.
But the Sanluo people could also use the tapping of their toes to pinpoint the locations of Coriander Safe City residents running across the ground.
—Bang bang bang!
Gunfire from the Sanluo people rang out behind them. The Coriander residents didn’t run in a straight line. Instead, they zigzagged through the ruins, veering left and right at intervals to make it as difficult as possible for the enemy to predict where they would go next.
—RUMBLE!!
A building ahead finally gave out and collapsed heavily.
The residents narrowly escaped being crushed and had no choice but to change course, running down another narrow path that was barely passable.
They hadn’t gone more than a few dozen steps when a squad of Sanluo people carrying guns suddenly appeared ahead of them.
“Click-click—”
The ominous sound rang out as they rapidly approached.
The residents realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to retreat.
But then a chilling sound came from behind them.
“Click-click—”
“Click-click—”
The residents turned around and saw another squad of Sanluo people behind them, already raising their guns and aiming straight at them.
“Click-click—”
The Sanluo people felt that they had successfully surrounded their opponents. Completely at ease, they didn’t bother coming any closer. They simply stood where they were and opened fire.
—BOOM!!
A huge shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky.
Like an eagle snatching up a chick, it grabbed the Sanluo soldier who was about to fire, violently yanked him into the air, and released him a moment later.
—BANG!!
Before anyone could react, the Sanluo soldier came crashing down, landing heavily in the ruins and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Enemy!!!”
The two squads of Sanluo people immediately opened fire at the sky, but the enormous black shadow had already vanished.
The next second, they suddenly heard a scream right beside them!
“AAAAAAHHHH!!!!”
The black shadow suddenly materialized again and snatched up another Sanluo soldier.
—Bang bang!!
Another Sanluo soldier was killed.
The remaining purple-skinned soldiers looked at one another. They began involuntarily backing away, wanting to escape this area that seemed to be haunted.
But when the purple-skinned soldier closest to the exit took a big step backward, he suddenly felt himself bump into something.
It was hard, yet strangely warm.
His entire body stiffened. He slowly turned his head and saw a roughly two-meter-tall “person” with enormous black wings spread behind him, looking down at him.
“Hello.”
The other person suddenly grinned, then abruptly seized both of his arms and shot into the air.
“AAAAAHHH!!!”
As this shrill scream rang out, the purple-skinned soldiers who had previously been unstoppable throughout Coriander Safe City began screaming one after another.
“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
“There’s a monster!!!!”
“Somebody save me!!!!”
Coriander Safe City was still in complete chaos.
In fact, it was even more chaotic than before.
But this time, the situation had been completely reversed.
The residents of Coriander Safe City were trembling as they huddled together in safety.
The ones running around and screaming for their lives were now the purple-skinned people.
