Salton's understanding of his body is very precise. In fact, all combat domain ability users know their body very well. Including muscles, bones, and blood vessels, high-level ability users have even subdivided into blood cells, and what's more, they know their own genetic information like the back of their hands. This is a matter of different ability specializations, just like those with abilities in the element domain understand energy, and those with abilities in the perception domain understand information at various levels such as spirit.
At this moment, Salton could feel the pain of the broken bone in his right wrist. He knew that the fourth man's sniper bullet was now stuck in the broken bone, compressing the nerves and making his arm numb. But now, Salton has no time for even the simplest treatment of his injury.
He backed away quickly, and shouted roughly: "Soldier, why are you still standing there? Quickly assemble the defensive formation."
Amid Salton's roar, a dozen soldiers stepped forward immediately. They were divided into two groups, both carrying tower shields. One group squatted down, and the other stood upright, using the upper and lower tower shields to form a shield wall three meters high and ten meters wide. While the defensive formation was assembled, Salton ordered the gunners to step forward, stick out the barrel through the gap reserved by the shield wall, and then shoot wildly towards the edge of the square with a saturated shooting posture.
In the intense and dense gunfire, countless sparks popped up from the edge of the square, and the dense rain of bullets had almost no gaps, while the erection of the shield wall effectively defended against the opponent's sniper attack. This is a simple and effective attack mode, and it is also a fighting method commonly used by Parkland soldiers. In general, such an approach has no major disadvantages other than a lack of initiative and mobility. But tonight, its shortcomings were infinitely enlarged.
The heavy rain of guns lasted for a minute, and the soldiers stopped firing after they ran out of magazines. And since there was no sound from the attack just now, it was as weird as if the mysterious intruder had already retreated. Salton also thought so, but out of the intuition of the ability user, he was sure that the invaders hadn't retreated.
Sure enough, the gunfire of the soldiers stopped. In the darkness at the edge, there was a dull whistling sound, as if an ancient monster was roaring, and Salton suddenly felt extremely dangerous. At this moment, a group of emerald green lights lit up in the darkness.
An energy bomb sticks to the ground and comes towards Sarton and the others. This energy bomb is wrapped in a layer of green light film, and in the middle is a ball of blazing white light! The speed of the energy bomb is so fast, it arrived in the blink of an eye as soon as it appeared.
"Evade!" Salton yelled, and at the same time, he jumped towards the ground with a short body, intending to use a side roll to stay away from the firing trajectory of the energy bomb.
There had never been a moment like this, and Salton felt time passing so slowly that he could even divide a second into countless intervals. This is because his body can't keep up with the speed of thinking, but the speed of the energy light bullet is obviously not in the same order of magnitude as him. Even at the moment when the speed of thinking was turning rapidly, Salton saw that the energy light bullet was still attached at an extremely fast speed.
It touched the shield wall on the lower floor gently, and the tower shield made of fine steel was easily penetrated by the energy light bullet, instead of being intercepted and detonated by the tower shield as Salton imagined. The situation was worse, however, and Salton saw it go through the tower shield and emerge from the back of a soldier. At this time, the green light film on the outer layer of the energy bomb has disappeared, and what is left is a ball of continuously vibrating, extremely unstable dazzling white light.
Salton instinctively stretched out his hand, trying to push away the dangerous light. But the palm was only halfway out, but the ball of light was already attached to his chest. Salton felt as if he had come into contact with the sun. The tactical uniform on his body disintegrated silently, followed by the flesh and blood melting away. Even the bones were quickly scorched black under the high temperature of the light cluster. When the ball of light was half submerged in Sarton's body, he clearly felt the little sun on his chest explode. Losing the wrapping of the emerald green light film, the blazing amusement park in the middle released a terrifying torrent of energy.
It not only submerged Salton, but even engulfed about twenty soldiers from the left. The air was burned and expanded by high temperature, followed by a huge ball of light rising in front of the Tulip Building. When the light illuminated the glass on the sixteenth floor of the building, the bang of the explosion suddenly spread. Even the window glass that has been processed with complicated technology has cracks from the impact of the explosion, which looks so shocking.
After the explosion, the strong light was replaced by flames. A thousand-degree flame swept across the first floor of the building, melting the glass, crystallizing the concrete walls, and bursting light tubes and other objects one by one. When the flames gradually extinguished, the bottom of the building was scorched black, full of the breath of death. The hot air rises, distorting the air. Therefore, when a figure appeared from the edge of the square, the figure twisted like a demon.
When old Brant saw this figure, his hands trembled unconsciously.
"Father, leave now. There is still time."
He was not alone in the old man's room. In addition to old Brant, Sauron's father Hein, his younger brother Jester and his son Johansen were all present. The difference is that Hein looked concerned, while Jester trembled all over. His son Johansen seemed calmer. This shy boy was comforting his father who was about to be overwhelmed by fear.
Old Brant didn't refuse Hein's proposal. Although he didn't know the identity of the intruder, it was very obvious that the other party wanted to directly attack the Tulip Building. He was targeting Old Brant. Old Brant was old and had few things to cling to, but that didn't mean he liked death, especially a pointless death like this.
With the help of Hein, eight fully armed soldiers cleared the way, and Jester urged his son Johansen to follow, and they were about to leave the room. The elevator in the Tulip Building had already stopped working, and the intruder had to use his own legs to get up to the sixteenth floor through a safe passage. No matter how fast he was, sixteen flights of stairs were enough for him to run for a while. But old Brant and others can leave through another secret elevator. At the beginning of the building design, old Brant considered the current situation and made perfect arrangements for it.
But the old Brant ignored another possibility. What if the other party came directly from the outer wall of the building instead of through the stairs? So when a guard's finger just touched the doorknob, the bedroom window suddenly shattered, followed by gunshots.
The gunshots rang out eight times, and the eight guards didn't even have a chance to fight back, and all of them were shot in the head and died. Their bodies fell limply to the ground again and again, and the sudden death made the remaining four people terrified and inexplicable, speechless for a moment.
The intruder landed lightly on the red carpet, holding a strange firearm in his hand. This firearm cannot fire deadly bullets, but it can fire a safety rope up to 500 meters long. At the end of the rope is an absorber, which can use any solid substance as a support point to pull the gunman to the position he wants to reach through another function inside the firearm.
With this special gun, the intruder came directly from the outer wall of the building, a few minutes faster than the elevator. What really killed him was the automatic pistol in his other hand. At this moment, the muzzle of the gun was lowered, but who knew when it would be raised.
By this time, Old Brant calmed down instead. He had experienced many storms in his life, and this scene was not enough to frighten him now. And Hein, who was supporting him, also showed extraordinary courage. Although his face was pale, his upright body did not sway in the slightest.
On the other hand, Jester, old Brant, the useless second son, had already collapsed on the ground, almost fainting from fright.
Old Brant looked at the intruder. He was wearing a tight tactical uniform. Under his black hair, there were a pair of strange eyes with black left and right gold. When he saw these eyes, Old Brant was slightly startled, and blurted out, "It's you, Zero?"
Just as Old Brant did not expect that someone would blatantly invade the family territory, he also did not expect Zero to be one of the intruders. The man who had shaken the cornerstone of the Parkland family now appeared in front of old Brant like a real nightmare!
"I want to fight you!"
Suddenly, young Johansen was inserted between Zero and old Brant. This immature young man opened his hands to block old Brant, his eyes were full of complicated light. There is fear, there is hesitation, there is conflict, and a little courage.
If the time and place were changed, maybe Zero would appreciate this young man. But now, he doesn't have time to chat with irrelevant people. So the automatic pistol was raised, and in the sound of the gunshots, Johansen was shot in the left leg and fell down. But the young man gritted his teeth desperately to prevent himself from screaming, but it was completely unexpected.
But that's all, Johansen didn't let Zero keep his eyes on him for a moment. Pointing the gun at Old Brant, he said calmly, "Hi, Patriarch of the Parkland family, I think we need to sit down and have a good talk."
The battle ended at dawn.
This is an unequal battle. Zero Four's abilities are all above the fifth level, and they are ability users of advanced professions. There is a qualitative difference from low-level ability users in the wilderness. Although there are many soldiers in Parkland, and there are twelve low-level ability users, all of these are so fragile in front of Zero Four. When the battle was over, Parkland's soldiers were directly reduced by nearly 70%, all capable users were wiped out, and as many as half of the functional buildings stopped working. There is no doubt that it is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Parkland family, and the damaged vitality cannot be recovered in a short time.
This is the result of zero expectations, giving the big chaebol a heavy blow with an overwhelming advantage. In addition to weakening their strength, it is more important to play a shocking role. The reason why they want to shock the Parkland family is naturally to win more and greater benefits for themselves at the negotiating table. After all, although Zero's starting point is to avenge what Parkland has done to him, but more, it is to get actual compensation from this chaebol, rather than blindly destroying it.
It is not difficult to completely destroy this family, but Zero will not get the slightest benefit in that way. It will also attract the intervention of the Dark Council because it goes too far. No matter what, the Parkland family is still in the support array of the Dark Parliament. Although this family has begun to decline, for the Dark Council, watching outsiders wipe out their own company is something that is not allowed no matter what!
