The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 422 - 415: Helpless

The enemy had the advantage of speed, and they pushed this advantage to its limit.

So what advantage did Spark Squad have? Spark Squad had no advantage.

Spark Squad was just a small Expeditionary Army unit of a dozen or so people. They had traveled long distances, were short-handed, and under-equipped. In the battle against the Sanitation Workers, they had no advantage to speak of.

If this had been a normal war, then what Gao Yuan and his team were doing would have been suicidal, but this was not a normal war, so Gao Yuan and his team had no choice but to charge headfirst into the Sanitation Workers’ defenses.

Now the enemy had shown up with six assault vehicles, but there were definitely more than just six assault vehicles.

The tactics of the Sanitation Workers were very clear—they were using a weakened version of leapfrog tactics, only they replaced helicopters usually required for such tactics with assault vehicles.

Therefore, the enemy must have pushed their speed advantage to the utmost, because as long as they timed it right, they could surely pierce through directly and reach the front of Spark Squad. Then, they would wait for Gao Yuan and his team to appear. As soon as a drone or one of the assault vehicles picked up Spark Squad’s trail, they would immediately call for nearby assault vehicles to come to their aid and set up an ambush.

With ample manpower, top-notch equipment, and these tools in the hands of elite soldiers, winning such an ambush was a certainty.

Did Gao Yuan have a solution? He had none. This was called a lack of strength, an inevitability, because all he could hope for was for the enemy to make mistakes. But if the enemy did not make any errors, then he would either have to give up the mission or just break through by force.

There was no way they could give up, so they had to break through, and the results of this forced attempt were now apparent—if nothing unexpected happened, Spark Squad would be completely wiped out.

Of course, Gao Yuan was that unexpected element, because nobody, absolutely no one, could realize that within Spark Squad there was a non-human with a speed that could rival the assault vehicles.

Gao Yuan, like a flash of lightning, felt that even making a turning motion required a great deal of force to overcome inertia due to his high speed.

The enemy finally spotted Gao Yuan, and their machine guns immediately aimed at him. But Gao Yuan also threw a grenade at the enemy while running.

With the grenade thrown, Gao Yuan leaped up. If he didn’t take evasive action, the machine gun bullets would meet him in flight, and wearing two bulletproof vests would still not guarantee his safety.

Gao Yuan soared dozens of feet into the air, with bullets flying beneath his feet. His grenade struck the assault vehicle’s roll cage and exploded in midair above the roof, causing two enemies to cease fire instantly.

Gao Yuan landed; he was now just a dozen meters away from the assault vehicle.

With bent knees and a reclined body, he drew two small trenches with his feet on the ground, followed by a third trench because he had to use his left hand to support himself on the ground to decelerate.

Then Gao Yuan abruptly stood up and grabbed the assault vehicle’s roll cage, finally coming to a complete stop. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

The driver was motionless, the machine gunner’s face was covered in blood, but he was still struggling to reach for the machine gun. But at that moment, Gao Yuan punched him.

No weapons were needed at all. Gao Yuan truly needed no weapons to deal with humans.

Jumping down from the assault vehicle, Gao Yuan turned and sprinted desperately once more.

Another assault vehicle was firing at Spark Squad, but this one wasn’t stationary—it was constantly on the move.

Gao Yuan couldn’t use a grenade to attack a fast-moving assault vehicle. He ran diagonally towards the speeding assault vehicle, and by the time the men on the vehicle noticed him, it was already too close.

It was so close that he could clearly see the astonished expression on the face of the gunner.

Gao Yuan didn’t slow down; he simply drew his knife, and by the time the machine gunner had opened his mouth, unable to warn his own driver in time, Gao Yuan’s long blade had already slashed along the side of the vehicle.

With absolute speed and absolute strength, Gao Yuan’s steel blade cut through like slicing tofu, the blade undamaged while the two steel tubes of the roll cage snapped cleanly in two.

Along with the roll cage, the driver’s half head and the machine gunner’s neck were both severed.

After the swift pass, Gao Yuan slightly turned, heading in the direction from which the assault vehicle, now with a dead gunner but a fleeing driver, had disappeared.

Gao Yuan flew over a small hill and spotted that assault vehicle.

The driver was talking into the radio, hiding the vehicle behind the hill, while his gunner lay face-up to the sky, a huge hole in his face.

The driver saw Gao Yuan leap into the air, saw him land, and saw him take to the air again upon landing, then his mouth opened wide, but he couldn’t utter a single sound.

Land, swing sword, head flies, Gao Yuan continued to sprint straight ahead.

Each deceleration and reacceleration was an extremely physically taxing process, because variable-speed running is more tiring than running at top speed.

Gao Yuan saw no other enemies, he took a large detour to complete the turn, and also returned to the vicinity of the trucks.

It took only a short time to finish off the enemy, but the effects of their destruction were already apparent.

Gao Yuan stopped, then he felt his heart beating too fast, and moreover, his vision darkened somewhat, and his limbs felt weak.

Gao Yuan didn’t even dare to ask how things were.

Two members of Egg Bomb Squad, bloodied all over, were busy gathering the wounded together as the situation slightly improved, and now, they hadn’t even had the time to check all the wounded as Gao Yuan had already ended the fight.

"How’s the situation?"

"How’s it now? All the enemies are dealt with, what’s the state now?"

Li Jingang shook his head and spoke softly, "You mean the casualty situation? I think... it’s certainly not good."

Gao Yuan looked around, several people had already been gathered together, but at a glance, it was evident that things couldn’t get any worse.

Just then, Gao Yuan actually saw Lizhizi dragging Liu Deguang down from the vehicle, Lizhizi carrying Liu Deguang on his shoulder, with a look of panic, shouted, "Help, somebody help!"

Ralph immediately went over to them, he took Liu Deguang from Lizhizi’s shoulder and laid him on the ground, but after just one glance, he shook his head and quickly ran off.

Liu Deguang, whose old wound had just healed and who couldn’t even say he was completely healed, had been shot in the neck again, the bullet going straight through, so Ralph didn’t need to check much before giving up.

Lizhizi was miraculously uninjured, but he just sat down beside Liu Deguang; however, after a brief moment of being stunned, he struggled to his feet, then in a daze, he said, "Who else, who else is there, what can I do..."

Gao Yuan looked at Xinghe, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, apparently lost in thought, but she was definitely alright; Gao Yuan looked towards Yu Shunzhou and found Yu Shunzhou also looking at him. Then Yu Shunzhou made a gesture to him, and Gao Yuan knew Yu Shunzhou wouldn’t die, at least not for the time being.

But in the end, people had died, and many more had perished.
