Chapter 694: What Kind of Chaotic World Is This?
With the strength of a fifth-tier Planet, Su Chen was enough of a minor superhero in the eyes of ordinary people. Coupled with relentless training in the Training Room, there was no trace of panic in Su Chen's eyes.
He discerned that this was a battlefield. Around him, many people were shooting at each other with firearms. Shells from tanks fell intermittently, occasionally hitting some individuals, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
"Su Chen, what are you doing? Daydreaming in the middle of a battlefield, do you want to die?"
An angry roar erupted next to Su Chen. The next second, a thick arm yanked Su Chen directly into a ditch.
In reality, with Su Chen's abilities, he could have easily avoided this but he felt that this person harbored no ill will towards him.
Now, Su Chen finally had time to observe this individual.
This was a very typical burly man, wearing a camouflage vest on his upper body, exposing his robust muscles, and shorts on the lower body. A dagger was strapped to his leg, and he held an assault rifle, firing occasionally towards the front.
Su Chen recalled his last designated mission. Unsurprisingly, the System had assigned him an identity again. However, the System hadn’t provided him with any memories related to this identity, requiring him to figure it out himself.
Fortunately, at this moment, a slightly frail man beside him shouted, "Captain, the situation looks bad! Our tank hasn't come to back us up. If this continues, we won't be able to hold this position!"
"Stop your damn nonsense! No tank, and you can't operate the machine gun bunker? We still have so many Sentry Cannons. Even a tank would be blown to high heavens!" the big man bellowed."Yes, Captain!"
Su Chen paid no attention to the man who scampered off. He was pondering one issue: what faction did he belong to here?
Why were there both Allied Forces' machine gun bunkers and the Soviet Union's Sentry Cannons? What kind of chaotic world was this?
He also took the time to notice that the opposing tanks were actually the Allied Forces' Grizzly tanks. Could this be a civil war within the Allied Forces?
"True to its unofficial version, it really goes by 'whatever feels good.' Such a messy faction situation, I wonder which mastermind came up with this?" Su Chen commented inwardly, not forgetting the mission that brought him here: to locate the so-called mission target and fulfill his or her dream.
He remembered the System's warning that this mission was life-threatening. The most significant issue was potentially spending a long time here searching for the mission target.
The longer it took, the more life-threatening it would become, as his current strength could not withstand the Superweapons of this world.
In the past, even without any enhancements, Superweapons could annihilate an 8th Order Mutant Beast, so what was he at the fifth tier?
Su Chen glanced at his equipment, which wasn't much different, except for an additional bulletproof vest and a helmet compared to the Captain. He was holding the familiar AK-47, and he couldn't help but chuckle; it had practically become his standard issue.
"Captain, if we keep fighting like this, even if we all die here, we might not hold them off," Su Chen shouted after firing a couple of random shots, drawing closer to the Captain.
The noise here was overwhelming; you couldn't hear anything if you spoke too softly.
"I know, damn it, but what can we do? This is just a small outpost. We usually only deal with infantry. This is the first time they've deployed tanks. I really don’t know if the Allied Forces have gone mad!" the Captain cursed under his breath, providing Su Chen with a critical piece of information.
Their opposing faction was actually the Allied Forces.
If their enemies were the Allied Forces, were they the Soviet Union or Yuri?
Or could they be the Empire of the Rising Sun?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"No, if it's a version adapted by the folks, there's also a possibility of establishing a brand-new faction on this basis."
Su Chen wasn't foolish enough to directly ask the Captain what faction they belonged to. If he did, they’d be in deep trouble.
"Captain, I think I can get through and blow up their tanks. If the pressure from the Grizzly tanks is lifted, we should be able to repel the enemy this time," Su Chen said.
He had long noticed that the strength gap between the two sides in this battle was not significant.
On his side, there were less than thirty people, including HIA, a machine gun Bunker, and two Sentry Cannons. The enemy had three Grizzly tanks, with their personnel not exceeding fifty.
Their position was slightly elevated, providing a vantage point that had allowed them to hold on for so long. If it had been on flat ground, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist for as long.
Hearing Su Chen's words, the Captain was stunned, giving Su Chen a strange look, "Have you lost your mind? Just you alone?"
This was not Su Chen's original world. While it was true that this world had the existence of Super Soldiers, they were a rarity among ordinary people. There were only a few of them, and most people found it hard to tackle a tank single-handedly.
On most battlefields, tanks were still the ultimate weapon.
Despite the Grizzly tank being just the most basic type of tank, there weren't many soldiers capable of destroying it.
The Captain’s doubt was not surprising. In his eyes, Su Chen was just a rookie soldier who had just been assigned to his command. A newbie claiming he could take on a Grizzly tank? Was he joking?
Su Chen knew full well that the Captain didn't believe him, but he had to get his approval before taking any action. Otherwise, the Captain even had the right to shoot him on the spot.
Surveying their grim situation, the Captain subconsciously said, "Fine!"
Without waiting for any further objections, Su Chen slipped away at a speed that left the Captain startled.
"I must be out of my mind, allowing a rookie to undertake such a dangerous task. I hope he can make it back alive," the Captain muttered, shaking his head and continuing to exchange gunfire with the enemy.
Utilizing the stealth skills he had honed in the Training Room, Su Chen moved unnoticed until he was behind the enemy lines.
The Training Room was not only for enhancing Su Chen's combat capabilities but also assisted in other aspects. One could say he had undergone a transformation and was no longer the same as before.
"There are a total of 48 Allied Forces soldiers and three Grizzly tanks. Huh, they're even hiding remote-controlled tanks. Is this their trump card?" Su Chen discovered ten remote-controlled tanks in the rear. They hadn’t shown up in the battle until now. Undoubtedly, these would be the last resort against their stronghold.
But Su Chen wasn’t concerned. He was already well-versed in dealing with tanks. Effortlessly, he eliminated the personnel in three tanks. As there was a time gap between tank firings, the lack of immediate retaliation didn’t attract any Allied Forces soldier's attention, providing Su Chen with the perfect opportunity.
With a dagger in hand, Su Chen transformed into a merciless assassin here. Each swing of his blade meant an Allied Forces soldier falling under it.
At first, nobody noticed, but gradually, the other Allied Forces soldiers felt something was amiss. Why were the gunshots from their side diminishing?
They hurriedly tried to contact others, receiving no response, and then shouted in alarm, “An enemy has infiltrated us, be careful!” (To be continued)
