Although the white phosphorus bomb attack only caused the death of one of them, it was enough to cast a terrifying shadow in everyone’s mind. No one ventured to leave the building. The ground was scorched by white phosphorus everywhere inducing the houses and the people outside.
It has to be said that Tang Jingzhi’s move was vicious and effective.
The rifle grenade wrapped in white phosphorus was all used up so the opponent started to use rocket bombs. One rocket hit the opera house across the street, where five or six people were hiding. Another rocket went down and the already crumbling opera house collapsed at this time around the corner.
The people in the opera house were forced to rush out. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the enemy to reload, they ran across the street desperately.
Tiger Shark yelled, “Get out!”
There is no doubt that the administrative building will be bombed next and it will collapse sooner or later.
Shan Ming carried Shen Changze on his back and rushed out quickly. They were like a group of defeated dogs, avoiding the enemy’s pursuit.
The opera house soon completely collapsed. The rockets began to concentrate on the administrative building. Due to the smoke and fire on the street, the vision was extremely poor so the Dragon Blood men could hardly see anyone. They just attacked the building blindly, intending to bury them alive inside.
The fragments of the building were blown up all over the sky. It was raining stones. As long as one was hit once, one would be completely affected. Everyone ran frantically to the inside of the movie city. At this time, there was nothing to do except to run desperately to save themselves.
A scream can be heard from behind and everyone’s heart sank. But no one dared to stop.
Yang Guan roared in grief and anger. He ran towards the special soldier who was hit by a concrete wall block the size of a microwave oven. Shan Ming glanced back hastily and recognized that it was just an ordinary human soldier. The stone hit his back. He lay on the ground moaning in pain, bleeding all over.
All the special forces turned back, risking being smashed into meat.
Yang Guan pushed away a human special soldier who was about to rush forward, “Get out, get out! Crow and I will stay. Everyone else, go!”
“Captain!”
“Go! I order you to go!” Yang Guan kicked him away, “Go!”
He and Crow rushed up and moved the stone away with all their strength. The back waist of the special soldier was covered in blood and flesh can be seen. Even the bones were protruding out.
Yang Guan’s eyes turned blood-shot red in an instant. He carried the man on his back and continued to rush forward.
There was no more sound of the rockets. The opponent had obviously exhausted all their bombs.
Tiger Shark pointed at the building not far away and roared: “All those who are seriously injured go to the tavern at the front. And all those who can move, stand with me and let’s kill these sons of bitches!”
Everyone stared at the enemy with red eyes. They ran wildly and sent the wounded comrades on their backs to the tavern. When they rushed out, the Dragon Blood people had already transformed, carrying their weapons. They swore to defend this small dilapidated tavern to the death.
Inside the tavern, Tang Tingzhi was healing his soldiers with his bleeding hands. Outside the tavern, the two parties finally started a face-to-face confrontation!
On their side, Shen Changze was still unconscious. Vulture was still in the bell tower of the church with Zouhuo. Meanwhile, with the radio being interfered, Pell and the rest were unknown as to whether they are alive or dead. Now there are only seven Dragon Blood men left who can act plus ‘Peregrine Falcon’. There are nine other people who are almost evenly matched with each other’s strength.
Shan Ming didn’t go out. Shen Changze’s tail was still wrapped around his waist. Shen Changze’s wound oozes blood again during the running, burning all the cotton gauze away.
Tang Tingzhi was in a hurry, treating the special soldier’s wound and stopping Shen Changze’s bleeding again. He was pale, out of breath, and looked very tired.
Now that they have lost contact with Pell and all those who can still move have gone to war, only Shan Ming stayed to help Tang Tingzhi. As the only doctor here, facing the house full of wounded patients and the shortage of medicines, he also has no idea of what to do.
Although Tang Tingzhi was a soldier, he was also a military doctor. This was the first time he participated in such a fierce battle. He was always calm. But now he was anxious about the predicament in front of him.
After sprinkling the hemostatic powder, part of the powder was quickly burned by the dragon’s blood. The last part worked and gradually stopped the bleeding. At this time, the wound on Shen Changze’s fleshy wing was smaller than before. The self-healing ability is really amazing.
They originally thought that he would be unconscious for a long time. But unexpectedly, he woke up in Shan Ming’s arms.
Shan Ming watched him slowly opening his eyes. He quickly patted his face and asked anxiously, “How are you?”
Shen Changze gasped and said, “It hurts.”
“Don’t move. Get some rest.”
“No. I can smell him.”
“What?” Shan Ming was confused by the end of his sentence.
Shen Changze glanced out of the window and said solemnly, “Shen Yao is here.”
The hearts of all the people present sank. Shen Yao, a Dragon Blood Man who claims to be more powerful than Shen Changze, appeared. Could the situation be worse?
Shen Changze got up from the ground and Shan Ming also stood up, grabbing his arm, “You are still injured. Don’t move.”
Shen Changze shook his hand, “Baba, you know that only I can deal with him.”
Shan Ming took a deep look at him. He then opened the door first, “Let’s go then. I’ll accompany you.”
Whether it is them or the enemy, the ammunition has basically been exhausted. A bloody fight has already started between the two factions of Dragon Blood people. The remaining humans are using the remaining grenades, high-pressure guns and laser radium sheath sabres on their bodies to deal with those Dragon Blood people.
As soon as the dark red figure rushed over quickly. It left an afterimage in the person’s eyes. It was like a bloodstain.
Shen Changze rushed over. When the blood-red figure was about to cut off the head of Ayer who was closest to him, Shen Changze pushed him away forcefully. The two of them flew into the wall together. There was a loud noise and the whole building seemed to be about to shatter in the next second.
The two figures, one red and one golden, separated. Shen Changze wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He endured the severe pain caused by the bloody wound on his fleshy wing and stared fiercely at his biological father——Shen Yao.
Shen Yao rubbed his chest. His face changed slightly as he looked at Shen Changze. He frowned and said: “I am your father. But you choose to defy me.”
Shen Changze said coldly: “I am a human being. I don’t agree with your thoughts. You and Tang Jingzhi have committed treason. Surrender, father.” Shen Yao said viciously: “Treason? This evil government has created a lot of tragedies. They broke up our family, killed your mother, and now you have become the lackey of the enemy. If I had known this, I would have killed you when you were still a child. It is better than you being what you are with today. Being my enemy!”
Shen Changze was slightly taken aback, “Mother? She died?” Then his face changed, “She just disappeared. She didn’t die. There was no evidence that she died.”
Shen Yao’s eyes were filled with intense sadness and hatred, “If she’s alive, she will look for her husband and son! Even if she’s still alive, the three of us have been forced to separate for more than ten years. The culprit is this group of lowly humans! They treat us as experiments, as weapons! They all deserve to die!”
Yang Guan then said sharply: “Senior Colonel Shen Yao, you and Captain Zhao Qingling volunteered to participate in the Dragon Blood Man Project. The country invested a huge amount of money to train you in order for you to guard China and maintain the dignity of the country. This is what a soldier should fulfil regardless of whether you are a human being or a Dragon Blood Man. Major Shen Changze is one of the country’s most precious treasures. He should have become the backbone of our country’s military. But you hid him for personal reasons, which made Tang Jingzhi take advantage of it. He has stolen dragon blood and has posed a huge threat to the security of our country. But you are still obsessed with your ideals and you are not worthy of being a soldier!” He turned to Shen Changze and said, “Captain Zhao Qingling has been missing for many years. It is unknown as to whether she is alive or dead. We have been looking for her and we believe that she is alive and has not been killed.”
Shen Yao shouted: “If Qingling is still alive, where is she?! Her husband and her son have already appeared. So where is she?!”
Shen Changze said in a deep voice: “If my mother is still alive, I will definitely find her. You stop whatever you’re doing now. The Dragon Blood Man will never become the master of human beings.”
Shen Yao sneered and said: “Humans are not worthy of being the masters of Dragon Blood people. Human beings are lowly and fragile. They are simply vulnerable. As long as Tang Jingzhi and I cooperate, we will create a true Dragon Blood army. My son, I will give you a chance again. You can choose to come with me or continue to be my enemy. If it’s the latter, don’t blame me for not appreciating the bond between a father and son!”
Shen Changze looked at the crazy father in front of him. He felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart. He sighed and shook his head, “I am a human being.”
Shen Yao’s eyes were like a deep pool, capable of drowning people cruelly. He then spread his fleshy wings and his body slowly was lifted up from the ground. He floated in mid-air. The strong killing intent caused huge pressure in everyone’s heart.
Shen Changze had never felt that a person could exude such an aggressive aura. It was as if that killing intent could knock people down.
Suddenly, there was a sound that pierced the sky. A bullet flew from the direction of the bell tower. Shen Yao’s body trembled. He moved backwards at a speed that humans would never be able to match.
A muffled groan was heard. A bullet hit Shen Yao’s right arm. His entire arm flew out. The bullet pierced into the stomach from the side rib. After the bullet entered the body, his speed and strength weakened and it was blocked by the dragon scale so the bullet remianed in the body.
Shen Yao fell to the ground, holding the gurgling blood hole in his body with one hand. There was almost no need to think about it. This bullet penetrated at high speed into his body but failed to rush out of the body. It must have stirred up his internal organs into a pot of meat sauce. Blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Changze looked at the sound of Shen Yao’s fall and the blood on the ground. He still felt indescribable sadness in his heart. He looked at his biological father at a loss.
Everyone, including the ‘Peregrine Falcon’ and the special forces did not expect that under the violent fire attack just now, their sniper was still in place and could break through the obstacles of gunpowder smoke and distance to hit accurately. The administrative building where Kali and Falcon had been stationed had already become a pile of ruins. Their lives and deaths were unknown. The 7.66mm bullet was shot from the direction of the bell tower of the church so it must have been Vulture, Zouhuo, or Pell. And the one with such technology…it must be Vulture!
They are still alive!
That bullet, piercing through the misty gunpowder smoke, flew from the church 400 metres away from there and hit the enemy general. It instantly reversed the situation of the battle!
While everyone was in shock, Shen Yao was held up by two Dragon Blood men and they quickly evacuated to the depths of the movie city.
Almost in the next second, all the violent bombardments were aimed at the church. Right in front of their eyes, the church completely collapsed. No matter how many living creatures were inside, the chance of surviving under such circumstances was zero.
Shen Yao’s sudden serious injury made those Dragon Blood people confused. After blowing up the church, they all retreated with Shen Yao, which gave them the most precious short period of relief.
Yang Guan stared at the bell tower of the church which had collapsed. He gave a military salute in that direction. All the active people present also raised their right hands…
