Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 356 Running under the sunset

Major General Ulysses is the most traditional soldier and the person who best fits the meaning of the word "soldier".

In the Empire's recruitment brochure, there is a slogan like "Dedicate your life to the battlefield." Of course, this slogan only symbolizes the spirit of the Empire's soldiers who are not afraid of death.

But there has never been a person like Major General Ulysses who has truly achieved dedication.

When he was healthy, he fought on the front line in every battle, wearing heavy war armor and engaging in the most brutal close combat in the cruelest areas, because that was his favorite way of fighting. He was also the one who fought the most ferociously in the entire Blood Fighting Group, until a broken bone penetrated his lung, making him unable to run for a long time.

It stands to reason that such a soldier who cannot fight at high intensity for a long time can apply for early discharge, but he did not do so. Instead, he began to drive a heavy armored assault vehicle and move turrets to suppress fire in the theater. In those years , he has one man and one car, and is unstoppable in the demonic group.

A few years later, he broke a leg in a large battle and could no longer control the tank.

In fact, at this time, he had already become famous. His record was enough to be used by the war zone leaders to motivate new recruits. He also had enough honor to leave this cruel front line. However, he refused again. After that, he forced himself to fight in the near future. At the age of 40, he began to learn battle situation analysis and the control of long-range artillery. Soon, he became the most famous gunner on the entire front line and a front-line commander.

Many years later, due to spot lesions in his eyes, his vision was blocked. He could only focus on a small area in front of the pupil, and was unable to handle a large-scale fire bombing. He resolutely stepped down from the gunner's position and began training. With his long-range sniping ability, he can only use his narrow field of view to snipe demons.

Unknowingly, he trained himself to become the ace of the sniper team. That year, he was already 51 years old.

From a heroic soldier with no ambitions to a lame man who could only hold a spear and listen to the scouts' reports on the battlefield to direct the battle, Ulysses's life was sprinkled in this land of ice and snow. .

But he still has no intention of leaving the battlefield, because he is still useful. At least his eyes can still see the target, and in the eyepiece of the sniper rifle, he only needs to see the target, which is good.

The bullet has been pushed into the barrel of the gun. It is a special bullet because the bullet is not only wrapped with gunpowder, but also the concentrated demon sedative provided by the Academy of Life Sciences. As long as it is a very small dose, After entering the demon's body, it can exert an extremely strong effect. Even a third-level demon will fall asleep obediently within ten seconds. However, the concentration process is not yet mature, so it is expensive. On the front line, Perhaps only this veteran can use this kind of bullet, and the annual ammunition cooperation can be regarded as the military's respect for this legendary veteran.

In short

At this moment, the rocks high in the snowfield moved, and the muzzle of his gun deflected rapidly. Even the scouts using wide-angle telescopes could barely capture the swooping figure, but it was instantly reflected in the narrow eyepiece. The next second, the bullet came out directly.

The whole process did not involve a long aiming process, nor were there any calculations such as speed, distance, or environmental occlusion. It was as fast as an extremely hasty blind shot, but the bullet passed through several targets in an extremely weird way. Hundreds of meters of cold wind in the mountains, the streamlined design allowed it to rotate continuously during the flight, without causing any wind pressure, and it did not make any sound. Like a ghost, it accurately shot into the crimson shoulders.

A gun covered in frost and snow, but it was developed 8 years ago by the Imperial Mechanical Institute at the expense of huge financial resources and technology. It was originally intended to be put into the battlefield as an iterative weapon. Its power and effectiveness are extremely terrifying. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a bullet filled with liquid to show such a terrifying speed without disintegrating in mid-air. However, its cost is equally terrifying. From the perspective of resource cost-effectiveness, it is impossible to invest in this thing. Production. So over the years, only this one has been produced.

Then this situation is extremely subtle.

A firearm produced by the most powerful manufacturing industry in the entire empire, and a bullet that condensed the most advanced bioengineering concepts in the entire empire, faced the bombing and encirclement of the most ferocious firepower team on the entire front line. Following the sudden cold arrow from the most persistent and powerful soldier on the battlefield.

Although no one would really deliberately let this scene happen, at this moment, Sherlock truly withstood the powerful blow displayed by all areas of the empire coming together.

Then this blow will definitely have its due effect.

In an instant, the concentrated demon sedative spread directly into the body of this third-level demon, and the blood flowing at high speed irrigated the whole body in a few seconds. At this point, Sherlock had just completed an incredible sideways movement, and suddenly He felt an extremely terrifying dizziness erupting from the depths of his consciousness, causing him to stumble slightly.

[Crimson] Unlike those small demons that are randomly occupied by tentacles in hell, in order to control this big guy, Sherlock stayed up for dozens of days and nights, using the soul visual device to match it repeatedly, and using his own tentacles After replacing all the nerves in his body, it can be said that the current [Crimson] is dozens of times more connected to Sherlock than the other demons he controls.

So he was very familiar with this feeling. Every time Crimson climbed out of the demon sedative, he would feel dizzy and sleepy for a few minutes, and his reaction speed would slow down; hearing, perception, vision, and other senses would all be affected. Blurred.

However, this feeling will soon dissipate after getting rid of the devil's sedative.

But something was different this time, because this drowsy feedback seemed to come directly from the inside of Crimson's body and from its blood.

At this thought, Sherlock thought of something almost instantly. He looked sideways in the hail of bullets and looked at the veteran on the plateau in the distance. His strong body also provided him with a field of vision far beyond that of ordinary people, which also allowed him to be just right. I saw Major General Ulysses putting down the weird-looking spear in his hand. For a moment, he not only felt like laughing:

"Oh, you really think highly of me."

In fact, this is no longer a question of whether you look at it or not, because in the past few minutes, this guy has given too many people an absolute shock, and triggered absolute anger in the hearts of too many people, so He was really not unjustly shot.

As the demon sedative spread, Sherlock found that his vision began to become increasingly blurry due to the feedback. The lights and shadows rippled in front of his eyes like paint thrown into water, turning into a dazzling but chaotic light spot. My hearing also gradually dissipated, and the smell of gunpowder smoke around me soon disappeared.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, what kind of potion is this, so powerful?

On the snowfield highlands, Major General Ulysses slowly raised his big gun. He no longer needed to observe the reaction of the demon below, because he knew that he must have shot, so at this moment, this scene was a little small. The battle of Waves is over. It is estimated that in more than ten seconds, the demon will completely faint, and with it, its contractor will also suffer the backlash.

But at this moment.

"team leader."

The investigator on the side suddenly became confused because he saw an extremely strange scene and didn't know whether he should report it or not.

"What's wrong?" Major General Julius asked.

"It's nothing. It's just that the guy down there seems to have lit a cigarette."

"??"

Sherlock lit a cigarette.

Surrounded by dense bullets, terrifying artillery fire, and steel chariots approaching from a distance, about to surround him, he lit up a cigarette at this time, naturally not to act cool.

But he needs to wake up.

Blues are the most damn refreshing.

When the fatal pungency entered his lungs, Sherlock felt as if countless hot knives were constantly cutting his airway in his chest. This kind of cruel touch that ordinary people could not resist was enough to cause tracheal spasm. He found a glimmer of clarity in the chaos, and the familiar burning heat rushed straight to his forehead, violently colliding with the dizziness in his consciousness for a moment.

Sherlock's eyes glowed with a hard-won brilliance.

Although I still can't hear clearly, can't see clearly, and can't keep up with my movements, it's enough for the time being.

So at this moment, the veterans in the distance who were waiting for the end of the battle suddenly fell into collective silence. Looking at the demon below that should have fallen to the ground, they were all shocked and speechless, as if they were following them. Like the captain, he turned into rocks in the waves in an instant.

They saw that the mobile heavy artillery below had entered the shooting range. Those huge, straight, flaming light groups were blasting crazily towards the third-order demon. The explosions were still shocking even at such a long distance. It made people's eardrums ache. Those bright red and bloody explosive bombs were like small mushrooms rising in the snow, and then exploded into crazy and wanton storm clouds in mid-air.

And among these clouds, the demon that should have fallen suddenly jumped up. Instead of advancing, it retreated, facing the artillery fire, roaring through the sand and rain of bullets, and actively smashed towards the encirclement!

A majestic red and white arc was drawn in the sky, like a steaming meteor, smashing into a dozen huge war vehicles on one side of the encirclement.

According to the momentum of the siege, this should be a dead end, a wall. Under the terrifying baptism of artillery fire, it was too late to escape, so how could you dare to take the initiative to rush in?

But from the theory of 'the shortest line segment is between two points', if this wall is broken through, there will be a vast sunset and boundless wilderness behind it.

But there are more than a dozen war rush vehicles, but the opponent is just a demon, with no artillery fire, no weapons, only body and fists, and needs to protect the demon sedative container with no defense. Under such a disparity in comparison, how dare that guy Rush over?

With a loud bang, the huge but slender body fell heavily to the ground, splashing ice and bullet casings scattering in all directions.

This sudden and almost suicidal counterattack shocked the veterans of the Undead Corps. However, at this moment, they also showed incredibly strong military literacy. The operations in their hands did not slow down at all, and they immediately changed the direction of their firepower. Wanting to fire directly at the demons in the crowd.

The war rush vehicles on the front line are of course not the kind of armored vehicles that can drive on the road in the imperial city, but have more terrifying defensive capabilities and can serve as the vanguard and rush into the first line of fire defense of the demonic tide. They clearly understand that Knowing how much bombing each other can withstand, no one has the slightest hesitation.

But even so, the rotation of the huge barrel still takes time, and the big demon that has fallen from the sky is so fast that it turns into an afterimage, sideways dodged a shell that just came out of the barrel, and crashed into a war assault vehicle. As the car approached, the exoskeleton and the thick steel protective layer made a dull roar, and then they grabbed the connection between the muzzle base and the top of the car.

Due to the need to turn the muzzle, it is impossible to design a sealed protection for this kind of place, but it is not important, because on the battlefield, it is impossible for a demon to attack in this kind of place, and most demons do not have that kind of IQ.

But the demon they are facing now is controlled by one person, and he is still a person with a reasonable IQ.

So I just heard the roar of metallic transformation, and a huge fist hit the rotating bearing of the muzzle firmly, "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid bombardment, which was so intensive that it was almost one syllable, directly smashed it to pieces, so that those complicated gears could no longer rotate according to the instructions, and could only sway in place like an underdeveloped baby. head.

And just when everyone was attracted by this huge figure, a smaller figure also avoided being caught by sight, quietly but extremely quickly climbed onto another rush car, and then turned on the steam injection. The valve's baffle, and the extremely slender arm compared to the devil's, were directly inserted into the hot turbine pipe, clicking, and all the kinetic energy transmission lines were broken into pieces.

In just these few seconds, two assault vehicles were disabled, and in the next second, the muzzle of the third assault vehicle had been deflected by a huge force, and at the same time, the tiny figure also climbed up Got the next chariot.

Sherlock held a cigarette in his mouth, feeling the wonderful feeling of the fatal burning heat and cold sleepiness clashing in his mind, his eyes filled with novel excitement,

The rotation of the machine gun is much faster than the muzzle of the gun. During this period, the machine gun muzzles of the remaining tanks have changed their positions. For a while, bullets are spraying out. At such a close range, there is no way to escape. Maybe, but even so, the huge body still firmly protected the container of the devil's sedative in its arms, using the exoskeleton on its back to withstand the hail of bullets, and countless magnificent lines of fire ruthlessly left cracks on the exoskeleton. , and drilled into the muscles in unprotected places, bringing out streams of blood.

At this moment, the veterans seemed to have forgotten that what they were attacking was a demon controlled by humans. Such an attack would cause how much pain to the opponent!

Under the feedback, Sherlock's body felt like being penetrated repeatedly by countless sharp knives, but the pain also made him clearer. After Crimson instantly killed two war rams, Sherlock relied on his small body to jump from a car. The top directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and hit another car with a bang. At the same time, he pulled open the round door at the top and jumped in.

Immediately afterwards, the vehicle's machine gun stopped firing.

Taking advantage of this gap, Crimson suddenly burst into flames. His seemingly slender arm suddenly reached out and grabbed the muzzle of the car in front of him that had just turned around. Then he picked it up and swung it halfway. Circle, hit the back!

These war assault vehicles are four to five meters high and about eight or nine meters long. They are square and square, like a huge iron weight. And with the blessing of thick layers of defense plates, each one has a terrifying weight.

What kind of strength can you wield such a war machine?

In short, this scene was extremely weird, but it really happened, and it hit the mobile heavy artillery not far away, knocking it over to the ground!

At the same time, he also created some space for himself, so Crimson's slender body finally started an extremely thrilling evasive action at the moment before the muzzle turned to him, moving sideways at a huge distance, and then grabbed the demon. The sedative container twisted its body strangely in the air without any help, and dodged several cannonballs in an extremely thrilling way.

At this moment, suddenly, the veterans in the tank saw a beam of light

A beam of golden light from the setting sun shone in from the edge of the sky. This sunset should have been blocked by countless war weapons, but at this moment, it suddenly shone in and reflected on the back of the demon in front of it. In the golden light that had not fallen for several months, the bloody and miserable body in front of him was bathed in a certain solemn beauty.

This is certainly not the time to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

The minds of these veterans were buzzing!

Because this light means that a gap has been opened!

There was no cover from the cold wind, and the snowy land under the brilliant sunset appeared in front of me in a sudden awakening.

The next second!

boom! With a sound, a snow pillar shot straight into the sky. The demon that had been in sight just now showed a speed that was twice as fast as before. In the exploding snow on the ground, it brought There was a sound wave for a moment, roaring and whistling, rushing into the vast and boundless snowfield, leaving only the flying snow turning into golden particles dancing wildly under the light. Just watch for a moment. , the stabbing made these veterans’ eyes hurt and their hearts beating wildly!

At this point, the sky is big and the earth is big, and no one can stop him anymore.
