Global Awakening: Infinite Gift Pack System-Chapter 91: Field Tyrant Hunt (Part 1)

The stun grenades went off with bright flashes and a deafening sound.

Several survivors, those who only had a few golden liquids in their bodies, were stunned, blinded, and disoriented by that move...

"Shit... Take cover! Back away!" Claire cursed as one of her fighters dropped his weapon while clutching his ears.

The Sentinels didn’t waste the opening. They moved in with tactics that felt disturbingly human.

One Sentinel kicked debris toward the survivors, forcing them to stumble back! It was then copied by the others...

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Then, another used suppressive fire! Because the sentinel was unstable as well due to the ground, it didn’t hit anyone, but it was enough to pin the remaining fighters down behind cover.

"Stay sharp! They’re trying to box us in!" Claire shouted, forcing her squad to regroup.

She also didn’t expect that the Survivors like them, who had a high enough level, could actually help endure the stun flashes of the grenade just now.

It was a nice perk she didn’t expect she had... It seemed that Level 7 and above Survivors could tolerate that much.

Still, there was no time to celebrate that...

A Sentinel suddenly tossed a smoke canister into the area!

Whoosh~

Thick gray clouds spread quickly, cutting visibility.

From inside the haze came the sound of shifting metal and heavy footsteps.

Thud... Thud... Thud...

"Now they’re using smoke grenades on us? They must have better sensors! These guys weren’t D-Grade! They might be C-Grade Sentinels or something." Ralph said.

None of them expected that Sentinels would be carrying stun grenades and smoke grenades at all!

They thought that they would only carry plasma rifles, normal firearms, or bladed weapons!

Terrence frowned as he felt that they weren’t doing well against the enemies at all.

"They’re masking their movements..."

Thankfully, Ralph’s sharpshooter focus was so helpful... With his almost 100% accuracy with his gun, he was able to damage the enemy guns in their hands!

Even if Ralph’s revolvers weren’t strong enough to penetrate the armor of the Sentinels, it was strong enough to deal with their weapons!

Suddenly, a Sentinel came out of the smoke and charged low, tackling one of Claire’s fighters to the ground.

Instead of finishing him immediately, it tried to drag him back, using him as a living shield against incoming fire.

"Damn it! They’re using hostages now!" Claire snapped, her blade moved swiftly as she cut the machine’s arm away before it could pull the survivor off!

’Seriously... These things are programmed to fight like humans or something...’

Another Sentinel hurled a flashbang into Ralph’s position.

The explosion of light and sound forced his marksmen to duck, breaking their firing rhythm. Immediately, two Sentinels advanced, firing short bursts to keep the squad pinned!

Unfortunately, some of them still had weapons, as Ralph failed to disable or damage all of them!

Ralph gritted his teeth. "They’re coordinating really well..."

One Sentinel deliberately fired into the ground near the survivors, kicking up dust and shards to obscure their aim!

Another used ricochet shots, bouncing rounds off metal surfaces to strike fighters behind cover...

Kai’s eyes narrowed as he watched.

They were truly A.I. Soldiers for a reason! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Their calculations, combat skills, and terrain usage were impeccable! The survivors struggled against this kind of Sentinel’s combat style.

What had been a supposed straightforward clash was now a chaotic fight against machines that fought using every trick to disrupt human reflexes...

"Fine! I’ll deal with them!" Claire said as she truly had no other choice but to ask for help once again!

Spirit Possession!

That was her only choice at the moment... Still, Kai didn’t stop her since it was a good choice.

"Hold formation!" he shouted. "Don’t let them scatter you! Support Claire at all costs!"

The survivors immediately understood the plan as they knew about Claire’s special ability...

Of course, this was only possible thanks to Atom, who was dealing with the Field Tyrant right now!

***

Currently, the Field Tyrant’s furnace glowed brighter with its vents spewing heat as its claw was aimed at Atom...

It had already consumed a couple of folded cars, and the power surging through its frame was undeniable.

Atom stood firm as it locked on the towering machine. It had just avoided a powerful beam of light that came from its cannon.

Nonetheless, unlike the survivors, it showed no hesitation. Its shield arm was scorched from the earlier blast, but its systems remained stable.

Kai’s eyes also turned to Atom’s direction...

This mysterious Sentinel that he had activated was the key to their victory!

’Atom... You have to prove why you’re different.’

The Tyrant raised its cannon again, with its energy building in its barrel.

Atom didn’t wait as it lifted a bulky rifle that Kai had previously seen in the workshop. This rifle wasn’t a human weapon with how heavy it was, but it was definitely perfect for Sentinels.

This wasn’t a plasma weapon, nor a conventional firearm. The rifle was designed to fire solid blocks of special metal... each one as thick as a human arm. It carried only six rounds, but each shot had the force of a battering ram!

Atom braced for the impact as its hydraulics locked into place.

Clank...

Suddenly, the first block of metal was fired.

BOOM!

The projectile tore through the air, smashing into the Tyrant’s shoulder. The impact was so vicious, denting its armor and forcing the massive machine to stagger sideways!

’It’s working!’ Kai’s eyes lit up after seeing this.

He was actually planning to order a retreat if that rifle failed to even dent the Field Tyrant!

However, it seemed that this wasn’t an impossible mission anymore!

Sparks erupted as the joint strained under the blow.

The survivors gasped. Even the Sentinels paused for a moment, their formation faltering at the sight of the Tyrant being forced back.

The Tyrant roared, furnace flaring as if in anger. Its claw swung wide, trying to crush Atom, but Atom sidestepped, shield raised to deflect the strike.

Kai clenched his fists. Five shots left. Make them count.

It didn’t end there as Atom fired again.

BOOM!

The second block slammed into the Tyrant’s chest, right near the furnace cavity!

The armor buckled, and it was already bending inward.

The glow inside seemed to have wavered, but the machine refused to fall.

Instead, it shoved forward, aiming to catch Atom with its claw!
