The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 621 - 614: The Bell Tolls

The bright red sunset wasn’t the only source of light, as dozens of bright columns of fire illuminated the scene.

Using flamethrowers for crossfire was likely a first since their invention, because except for Gao Yuan, there was no other target that necessitated such a tactic.

The incredibly fast Gao Yuan put too much psychological pressure on the enemy, and those who had gradually grown familiar with Gao Yuan’s combat techniques were also looking for ways to counter him.

The Sanitation Workers were close to success - directional mines in the corridor, human bombs on suicide missions, and that truck full of explosives.

And now, these twenty flamethrowers.

The enemies were positioned at various distances but were generally arrayed in a semicircle. When they pulled the triggers all at once, Gao Yuan had almost no chance to escape.

Gao Yuan instinctively jumped, knowing that if he did, those enemies accustomed to firing at the ground would briefly lose their target. And by the time they instinctively raised their muzzles, Gao Yuan had already hit the ground.

His leap covered over a dozen meters, and his speed was incredible - no shooter could keep up with that.

But this time, the enemy used flamethrowers, and the men of the Sanitation Workers were not stupid. Far from it - they were experienced and elite fighters.

Someone aimed a flamethrower directly into the sky so that when Gao Yuan appeared, on command, everyone would fire in the direction they had been aiming, without caring for Gao Yuan’s actual position.

This was known as pre-set fire zoning, like casting a big net and waiting for Gao Yuan to collide with it himself.

Gao Yuan jumped higher than ever before, aware of the enemies waiting outside and their flamethrowers, and he used all his strength to jump.

Nevertheless, Gao Yuan collided with a column of fire.

He passed directly through the column and became a man on fire.

High-pressure gases propelled the fuel that stuck to Gao Yuan’s body, mainly on the front. But due to his high speed, the wind-blown flames licked over to his back.

As he landed, a fiery figure stood among the enemy crowd, with a gleaming blade turning, blood spraying, and limbs flying.

Gao Yuan moved his left hand from his eyes, his whole body engulfed in raging flames.

Scorching heat, piercing pain, and the hissing of burning flesh.

He was like a devil crawling out of Hell, surveying all life with flames all over his body.

Gao Yuan turned to glance back.

The harbor - this was the harbor, right on the freighter dock.

With a roar, he removed his helmet, tore off the neck protector, and charged again.

The plates of his armor began to fall off quickly because they were strung together with Kevlar threads, which the flames rapidly destroyed, causing the plates to fall off one by one.

Fuel stuck to the plates, and as they fell from Gao Yuan’s body, the flames followed. When he charged again, his armor suddenly clattered to the ground in a blaze of fire from his body.

Gao Yuan’s face was as red as a cooked shrimp. Small flames still flickered on his body, his recently grown hair curled from the fire’s heat, and his shoes were still on fire.

But none of this could stop Gao Yuan. The enemy had almost succeeded, but not quite.

The blue sea, the salty sea breeze, the drifting waves, and a massive nuclear submarine.

The enemy had a nuclear submarine, with planks laid on it. As Gao Yuan burst into flames and charged out, the last person had just entered the submarine’s bridge hatch.

Just by a hair, Gao Yuan saw the bridge’s top hatch close, and as it sealed, the nuclear submarine began to dive.

Ordinary docks aren’t deep enough for submarines to submerge, unless it’s a dedicated submarine dock.

There are two types of submarine docks: covert and open. The covert type is the traditional cave-style hidden dock, where submarines enter and exit entirely underwater. Open docks, on the other hand, begin from the surface when entering the dry dock.

However, even open docks must ensure that the water is deep enough to allow submarines to enter and exit from underneath the surface.

Nuclear submarines submerge very quickly. Of course, they can’t disappear in a flash by plunging deep all at once, but Gao Yuan saw a nuclear submarine that had half of its body revealed above the water, and now, in just a few seconds, the water was about to submerge the upper deck of the hull.

The nuclear submarine was performing an emergency dive, but Gao Yuan took just a few strides and leapt onto the nuclear submarine.

The soles of his feet were very slippery, as the sea was already washing over.

This was the dock, not the deep ocean, so the emergency diving speed of the nuclear submarine was a bit slower. It had to be slightly slower, because diving too fast could possibly lead to hitting the bottom.

Gao Yuan was anxious, and the enemy was in a panic. Gao Yuan feared that the Sanitation Worker had taken the Ark of the Covenant and fled, while the enemy feared Gao Yuan would rush into the nuclear submarine.

Gao Yuan jumped onto the nuclear submarine, and the seawater that had just reached the surface of his feet made him lose his balance, causing him to fall directly onto the deck and slide forward a long distance.

Taking the opportunity, Gao Yuan rolled over. The cool seawater significantly reduced his agony momentarily, but soon, the salt water began to sting his burned skin. freewebnøvel.coɱ

However, for Gao Yuan, such stinging was hardly more than a drizzle.

Gao Yuan got up and leapt toward the bridge; then he found the hatch, looking at the submarine’s door that didn’t have even a sliver of a gap, and he violently stabbed the Modao Saber into it.

Bullets striking him caused acute pain, and occasionally a bit of blood blossomed from his body. The fallen armor had taken most of the flames, but had also left him unprotected.

Gao Yuan’s own body possessed a super-strong protective ability, but he couldn’t block all the bullets. However, for him, small-caliber rifle bullets also couldn’t immediately kill him.

Gao Yuan didn’t know how many times he had been shot; he only knew that if he didn’t open the submarine’s hatch and let it truly sink down, he would never be able to open the submarine and find the Ark of the Covenant again.

At this moment, the enemy on the shore was firing wildly at Gao Yuan, while the sea had already submerged half of the bridge.

Gao Yuan pulled out the hammer from his waist. His armor plating had fallen off, but his weapon would not.

"Ah!"

With a furious roar, Gao Yuan smashed the hammer down on the edge of the submarine’s hatch.

There was a loud "bang" that resonated throughout the entire dock, as the enemies ashore screamed wildly, and the anti-aircraft guns, which had previously been aimed at the door of the protective facility, were quickly re-aimed at Gao Yuan.

The hatch was deformed, and a small gap appeared where the door was once seamless; Gao Yuan raised the hammer again and smashed down fiercely.

Another "bang" rang out, shaking people to their core.

The crack in the hatch widened, Gao Yuan stood up, and then he raised the hammer and hammered down with all his strength.

After the third loud noise, the pure steel handle broke under the force, but the hammerhead didn’t fly off; instead, it remained embedded in the dent.

The gap in the hatch was wide now, big enough to fit a finger through.

Gao Yuan inserted the Modao Saber into the crack and leveraged it forcefully, snapping the lengthy blade into two pieces with a "crack."

Then, with a "pop," a large chunk of flesh flew from Gao Yuan’s left armpit, and blood quickly gushed out, coating the exposed ribs on his chest side and the half-shattered humerus of his left arm.

Gao Yuan turned back to look coldly. He glanced at the anti-aircraft gun on the shore, then, using his remaining left hand, he lifted the hatch, lightly leaped, and jumped into the nuclear submarine’s doorway.

Immediately afterwards, seawater began to flow into the nuclear submarine through the open hatch.
