Chapter 430
Acceleration Force
Da da da da!
The Hafk soldiers' firepower was fast and accurate, and Sayed had no time to react. He could only roll and dodge, avoiding fatal blows as bullets grazed his limbs.
But the Hafk soldiers relentlessly pursued him, even leaping and diving to quickly close the distance with Saeed.
Enraged, Sayed immediately raised his gun to return fire. "If I can't shoot you through from the front, I'll shoot your limbs!"
But the Hafk soldier actually used a fish-like leap to land, did a forward roll, and lay flat on the ground.
The transparent shield on the gun barrel perfectly blocked the projection of his entire body!
From Said's current angle, not a single bullet could hit him!
The bullets were blocked again, and Said's anger was completely ignited. He stopped rolling, drew a burning crossbow bolt from his waist, aimed, and fired. "Let's see how you stop the flames!"
The crossbow bolt flew through the air in a bright arc, but the lying Hafk soldier remained motionless.
"Burn to ashes!" Said roared, only to see the unmanned infantry fighting vehicle accelerate from the side and then drift to a stop behind the prone soldier.
The burning arrow seemed to have its trajectory cut off by something just as it approached the infantry fighting vehicle. It broke off midway and fell to the ground, where the flames burned for a while before going out.
Saeed's pupils constricted sharply when he saw this. "What?!"
But the enemy wouldn't give him time to be shocked; Hafk's soldiers opened fire again, and the bullets were once again aimed at his head.
Even more critically, the infantry fighting vehicles behind him also opened fire, launching several grenades in all directions, blocking Saeed's escape route.
Said made a tough decision. He couldn't take the grenade; he could only protect his vital parts and use his armor to withstand the bullets.
Reese's team is advancing at a slower pace.
The three Hafk soldiers remained dispersed, surrounding Reis in a triangular formation while maintaining distance.
No matter which way Reese charged, they would retreat sharply, and the other two would shoot at him from the side, forcing him to change direction multiple times, just to prevent Reese from having a chance to engage in close combat.
Reis's movement speed couldn't keep up with the soldiers' retreating pace, and the shotgun in his hand not only had a limited range, but was also blocked by the transparent shields on their barrels, making it difficult to kill effectively.
Thus, Reese was covered in wounds, and whenever he turned to one side, people on his side and behind him would open fire.
He was soon covered in blood, but even so, Reis did not fall. Like an indestructible bull, he continued to push forward amidst the firepower, forcibly shortening the distance to within a few meters.
boom! ! !
Just then, a bullet whistled out from behind Han Che, its trail of fire cutting across the battlefield.
The target soldier reacted, and the bullet was once again blocked by the transparent barrier as it flew toward the target.
But this time the bullet had a huge impact force. When the bullet hit the surface of the barrier, it made a muffled sound, and the soldier was knocked back by the impact.
Although the bullet was blocked, it bought Reese time to get close.
"Damn it, you think you're so great!" Reis cursed angrily, seizing the opportunity to rush forward and slam the butt of his rifle into the unsteady Hafk soldier.
The soldier was struck hard and fell to one side, but he still tried to maintain his balance and stand up.
Immediately after, Reis kicked him hard in the chest, a solid kick.
The soldier was sent flying several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground and remaining motionless.
"What's wrong with these Hafk soldiers?" Han Che and Qi Yuzhe were also providing fire support, but the bullets they fired were either dodged by the Hafk soldiers using various agility techniques or blocked.
Demulan's synthesized voice came from behind, "These are Hudson's... well, he's called Anderson now. This is his Acceleration Task Force, consisting of four highly skilled marksmen and an unmanned infantry fighting vehicle."
Han Che frowned and asked, "Why aren't they losing health when I attack them?"
Demulan, intently aiming through the scope, explained, "Look closely at their gun barrels. It's a bit far from here, so you might not be able to see clearly, but they have double-layered gun shields on their barrels. You can't penetrate them!"
"Gun and shield?" Han Che was taken aback for a moment, then he squinted and carefully observed the position of the gun barrel on one of the special forces members.
Amidst the interplay of firelight and a dark background, a faint, luminous layer can indeed be seen above the gun barrel; it is highly transparent and easily overlooked unless one is specifically looking for it.
The transparent shield covered the entire upper body, extending from the front of the barrel to near the buttstock, its curve perfectly conforming to the shape of the gunner's body.
Han Che suddenly understood. No wonder the bullets were either deflected or blocked directly; the gun shield completely blocked the frontal field of fire.
Demulan added, "And that unmanned infantry fighting vehicle is different from my two. This unmanned infantry fighting vehicle can not only launch various items, but also has an active defense system that can intercept other people's projectiles."
Han Che's gaze followed Demulan's words and fell on the unmanned infantry fighting vehicle. Several small sensor arrays could be seen slowly rotating on the roof, and the weapon station on the roof was constantly making fine adjustments to its angle.
Said was already cornered by the car and the coordinated efforts of the task force member, leaving him with very little space.
His output was ineffective and he was constantly being drained.
He had already set fire to the ground beneath his feet with incendiary bolts, attempting to conceal his location using his special ability.
However, this was not the large substation that had been set up in advance. The flames from the incendiary arrows covered only a small area, so the infantry fighting vehicle didn't need to aim at all; it could just explode at the center of the flames.
boom! !
Demulan fired another shot, this time hitting the knee of the task force member on Saeed's side.
The gun shield could only cover the upper body; the bullets bypassed the shield's coverage and accurately hit the task force member's unprotected legs.
The task force member lost his balance the moment he was hit and fell to his knees.
Seizing the opportunity, Sayed immediately jumped out and opened fire, but to his surprise, the downed special forces member didn't even let out a scream, and picked up his gun to continue firing.
Said wouldn't give him a second chance. He leaped to the side, dodging the bullets and circling around to the side of the gun shield.
Da da da da!
The bullets, fired from this angle, finally encountered no further resistance, and the machine gun bullets, as if they were free, riddled the special forces member's body with holes.
