Chapter 117: 117. Last Moment
Facing the powerful LG-5 Grenade Sniper, Lu Yao stimulated his Five Organs Resonance and suddenly charged forward.
At this distance of over 500 meters, the sniper only showed a tiny bit of himself, and Lu Yao was not confident he could hit him. He had to close the distance to within 300 meters, the closer the better!
Rose took a deep breath, braced the stock against her numb shoulder, and when she pulled the trigger, a loud bang erupted, even though she used a bipod, she was still jolted back by a foot.
She calculated the lead and launched the grenade towards Lu Yao's immediate front! If Lu Yao kept running like this, he would end up in the very center of the explosion!
But Lu Yao, in a calm state of focus, kept his eyes locked on the opposite side. At 0.4 times speed, many things that were previously difficult to accomplish were now possible.
The moment the Grenade Sniper's muzzle flashed, Lu Yao pounced forward like a fierce tiger, leaping 40 meters at once, just in time to leave the exploding grenade behind him.
Rose, drawing on years of field experience in killing, forcibly suppressed her shock and bitingly fired the last grenade.
The grenade, with its orange-red tip, whistled out of the barrel, spinning rapidly and flying straight towards Lu Yao.
By now, Lu Yao was only 300 meters from the enemy. Using the momentum, his legs pushed off with force and leaped up 10 meters in a single bound.
Not only did he leave the explosion behind his back, but he also aimed mid-jump at the dumbfounded Rose.
"This is simply not human!" Rose could no longer suppress the shock in her heart and cried out involuntarily!
If Lu Yao's moving speed could still be explained away with excuses like wearing an exoskeleton or being injected with military stimulants...
But this jumping ability of leaping 10 meters high was absolutely not something a human could achieve!
Her sniper position was on the rooftop, which was very small and difficult to target.
With Lu Yao jumping so high, he could already see more than half of her body, and the AK in his hands immediately opened fire!
10 rounds of 762 bullets whistled out of the barrel, instantly hitting right in front of Rose.
Rose had also progressed; this time, she was not just wearing a JK skirt but had put on a full set of heavy-duty body armor.
The bulletproof ceramic plates on her body shattered on the spot, the helmet sparked and acquired two deep scratches, but what was fatal was — a bullet had pierced through her neck!
Rose futilely covered her neck, blood spurting through her fingers, she murmured "monster" before she slowly sat down on the ground and died with her eyes wide open.
~~~~~~~
This scene was fully witnessed by Zhang Xin hiding within the stronghold. His face, full of disbelief, pressed against the surveillance screen!
"Who exactly is this man wearing the silly President's mask!?"
Zhang Xin, a scholarship recipient at the California Institute of Technology, found it even harder to believe what he was seeing than Rose did.
After operating the password lock on the wall, a 50-millimeter thick precision steel gate immediately dropped down in his room.
Hiding behind this, Zhang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "All that's left is to wait for backup..."
~~~~~~~
Steel plates fell over the doors and windows of the mansion, securely blocking them. Normally, it would take a devastating cost to breach this place.
As soon as Lu Yao approached, the guards immediately aimed their guns and wildly greeted the man in the President's mask through the firing ports.
The President of the Star Alliance, since taking office, had built border walls and focused on cracking down on immigrants from the Inca Nation, had a notorious reputation in the Inca Nation. Wearing his mask was quite the mockery.
Lu Yao simply returned fire, accurately sending bullets right through the large bowl-sized shooting holes.
Your journey continues on мѵʟ
One after another, the enemy fell dead behind the firing ports, finally convinced of the accuracy of their adversary's marksmanship, to the point that no one dared to show their face again, allowing Lu Yao to stroll unfazed right up to the mansion.
Looking at the immensely lavish building, he couldn't help but lament, "This bastard really knows how to enjoy life, I haven't even managed a villa yet."
Faint sounds of panicked footsteps and tactical planning came from inside the building; the people inside had not yet given up resistance.
Lu Yao knocked on the wall and the steel panels on the doors and windows. Strictly speaking, this was a special alloy, impenetrable even to a .50 caliber machine gun.
It would be very difficult to breach in a short period of time.
Lu Yao thought for a moment, the person on the roof earlier had a grenade launcher, perhaps it could blast open these defenses.
He exerted power in his limbs, gripping the protrusions on the wall, his whole body shot up to the rooftop like an agile big monkey, where he saw Rose, whose eyes were still open in death.
Lu Yao felt this "one-eyed woman" looked somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered—she was the Foreign Affairs Bureau female special agent he had encountered at the drug manufacturing facility in He Kingdom.
Back then, she had given him a Barrett, and now what she had given was—
"Ooof, I've seen this one before: Type LG-5 40mm sniper grenade launcher!"
This "grenade sniper" had become famous online for its unique design style, with many videos related to it, and many non-military enthusiasts had heard of it.
By then, her ammunition had run out, but there were many spare rounds on Rose's sniping position, which Lu Yao picked up and loaded.
Seeing these rounds, Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up!
Some were orange, the "high-explosive rounds" which, like fragmentation grenades, used explosions and metal fragments to kill enemies;
But there were others with brass-colored heads, which were "armor-piercing rounds." According to data leaked online, these rounds could penetrate 80mm thick steel plates!
On the rooftop, there was a passage sealed with a steel panel, and Lu Yao immediately loaded 3 armor-piercing and 1 high-explosive round into the "grenade sniper's" magazine.
He aimed at the center of the steel panel and fired three armor-piercing grenades in quick succession.
The tip of the armor-piercing grenade was a thin layer of copper; upon detonation, this layer of copper would instantly melt, turning into a high-temperature metal jet.
The high-velocity jet of heat would burn and bore through the steel panel, penetrating it instantly.
On the obstacle blocking his path, three holes the size of a teacup appeared. Lu Yao pulled the trigger once more, launching the last high-explosive round.
With a loud boom, a large hole with a half-meter diameter was blown open in the steel panel.
Lu Yao crawled through at a leisurely pace.
~~~~~~~~
Zhang Xin's guard squad was very tenacious in their will to fight, setting up a defensive position for indoor battle with Lu Yao.
They held their guns at the corners of the stairwells and had even deployed "Broadsword Mines," terrifying weapons that could directionally spray 700 steel pellets in a fan-shaped blast.
Although Lu Yao couldn't see them, he listened intently to every sound, which was as clear as if he could see with his ears.
He propelled his body with the strength of his legs, running along the walls like wall running, flashing past the corner in a dash.
The enemies never expected their foe to emerge from over 3 meters up the wall, rendering the "Broadsword Mines" completely useless as they could only hit targets up to 2 meters high.
While the enemies were still adjusting their gun barrels, Lu Yao's AK had already fired first.
Under the enhancement of "Minute Consciousness Control," his muscles precisely controlled the muzzle direction toward each enemy's head, simultaneously countering the recoil, allowing the 7.62 bullets to kill with precision.
Blood splattered across the room like bean curd; one by one, the guard squad died, silent in their demise from the headshots, without even a hint of struggle or scream; some who had inadequate cover were also killed by Lu Yao's wall-penetrating fire, these were the only ones who might emit a cry of death.
There was only one square-faced man left, seemingly the leader, his face full of terror and disbelief, frantically shouting in Franconian while firing an AK wildly.
Lu Yao wasn't faster than bullets, but as long as he was faster than the shooter, he could dodge the gun's aim by instantly shifting several meters to the side.
A few seconds later, the sound of an empty magazine clicking echoed, the bullets had run out.
Lu Yao threw a punch with the "Iron Fist of Nation-Building," silencing the room, leaving no one to resist.
