Chapter 132: Witch VS Assassin
"Boom!"
...
A burst of noise jolted Doctor Bai awake from her sleep.
She shot up from the bed, her eyes bloodshot and unfocused, still half-asleep.
Last night, she was busy contacting the Organization's High-level Staff in South Korean politics and the Military Police.
At the same time, she had to mediate with Headquarters regarding the resolution to destroy the Modified Humans.
Having been busy for two consecutive days without closing her eyes, Doctor Bai had just been startled awake, and her open eyes were already threatening to close again.
A rumbling sound of Artillery Fire, accompanied by violent shaking, completely woke her up.
"What's going on?!"
Doctor Bai didn't even bother putting on her shoes, threw on a jacket, and rushed Outside.
She grabbed a Security guard from the Base and demanded, "What's happening?"
"Doctor Bai, there are enemies! It's the Federal Army! They're... they're attacking!"
Doctor Bai ignored everything else and quickly ran towards the Base's Monitoring Room.
Inside the Monitoring Room, Doctor Bai looked at the Federal Army surrounding the Base so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. She felt like a deflated balloon and collapsed directly onto the ground.
Outside the Old Castle Base, on a wartime Command Vehicle, a Middle-aged Man in a Federal Army uniform held Binoculars, observing the situation inside the Ancient Castle.
When he saw the few Heavy Firepower Points inside the Ancient Castle still spitting out Bullets,
Colonel Barney immediately issued an Order through the Command System.
Four 81MM Mortars and six 60MM Mortars simultaneously unleashed Firepower upon the Ancient Castle.
After two rounds of rumbling Artillery Fire,
The few Firing Points inside the Ancient Castle quickly fell silent. The dilapidated Ancient Castle used to conceal the Base also collapsed by nearly half under the Artillery Fire.
Seeing this scene through his Binoculars, a hint of a Smile finally appeared on Colonel Barney's stern face.
After receiving Intelligence from Sloan, Barney immediately led a Company to the target point to encircle and suppress these Terrorists.
He had no intention of underestimating these Terrorists.
It should be known that a fully staffed Infantry Company in the Federal Army's structure has one hundred and seventy-six people.
It has three subordinate Infantry Platoons and one Weapons Platoon. M240 Machine Guns and M224 60mm Mortars are even deployed down to the Squad level.
A separately established Assault Team is composed of three three-person Assault Squads, with each Squad equipped with one MK153 Shoulder-Fired Multi-Purpose Assault Weapon.
This Firepower and personnel Equipment configuration was sufficient for a small-scale engagement on the Afghanistan Battlefield.
However, when the Company launched its attack, Barney discovered that he had indeed underestimated these Terrorists.
The Firepower of this Old Castle Base operated by these Terrorists was not weak. Various light and heavy Machine Gun Firing Points were configured, giving the Federal Army a "surprise" as soon as they opened the Gate.
In addition to over a dozen Snipers on the High Ground of the Ancient Castle, they even had two Anti-aircraft Machine Guns set up.
These Anti-aircraft Machine Guns, used to defend against air raids during the WWII Period, could turn their barrels and fire horizontally, their Firepower capable of turning any Armored Vehicle into a pile of Scrap metal.
What surprised Barney the most was not the Firepower inside the Ancient Castle, but the Terrorists inside who fought without fear of death.
When his Company used Mortars to blast open the Ancient Castle's Gate and planned to rush in, the Terrorists inside directly counter-charged towards their Guns.
These Terrorists all displayed a fearless attitude, getting shot and having their thighs broken by Bullets, yet still struggling to crawl back up.
Most of the Company's Soldiers were stationed in South Korea, having enjoyed peace for a long time. Where had they ever seen such a scene?
Several Platoons, under the Cover of Artillery Fire, assaulted the Ancient Castle multiple times but were all forcefully repelled.
...
What Barney didn't know was that the Organization Doctor Bai belonged to was already in its third generation of Gene Research on the Brain. The first generation of Finished Products were those like Choi Sung-ho, who had only undergone simple partial micro-adjustments to their Brains, cutting off Pain Nerves.
The third generation of Finished Products had Speed, Strength, and Computing Power several times that of Ordinary Persons. The most outstanding among them had even awakened Psychokinesis due to in-depth Brain Modification, capable of interfering with reality with Mental Power.
The Federal Army had an absolute advantage in Weapons and Firepower, but facing these Modified Humans whose physical fitness, Strength, and Speed far surpassed Ordinary Persons, they seemed insufficient.
When these Terrorists counter-attacked and were about to charge into the Federal Soldiers' Formation that was nearing the Ancient Castle,
The Supporting Artillery behind them had to stop their Bombardment to avoid friendly fire. Without Artillery Fire support, in Close Combat, facing these fearless enemies, the Federal Soldiers were forced to retreat step by step, suffering the Loss of over a dozen people.
Watching the fallen Soldiers, Barney's eyes were about to split from rage, and he planned to disregard everything and mobilize the Infantry Battalion from the Base.
It should be noted that a Federal Infantry Battalion, with a strength of over five hundred people, in addition to more powerful Artillery, is also equipped with Great Killer Weapons like Missile Launchers at the Battalion level.
However, using them within South Korea would cause too much of a commotion. This was not the Afghanistan Battlefield after all.
If he were to really use Missile Launchers, while it wouldn't necessarily mean no hope of promotion, the Merit for eliminating these "Terrorists" would be greatly diminished.
Just as Barney was about to make a desperate move,
Bang! A Sniper Rifle shot reversed the situation.
On a Barren Mountain over three thousand meters away from the Battlefield, Sloan lay on the ground and calmly pulled the Trigger.
Unlike other Powered Persons,
Before meeting Boss Tang, Sloan did not possess any Supernatural Power.
What made him famous in the Underworld was his precise Marksmanship.
Ultra-long-range Sniping, Curved Shooting...
Several top Gunmen in the Brotherhood of Assassins, including Cross and Fox, were his disciples.
It could be said that even B-Level Superhumans, assessed by various countries as Threat Levels, would tremble before Sloan's Sniper Rifle.
Given enough preparation Time, he would even dare to provoke A-Level Superhumans.
Now, this Marksmanship Master was proving his Marksmanship with headshots.
The modified anti-material Sniper Rifle in Sloan's hands delivered headshots with every shot. Even when hiding behind Cover, he could calculate the angle and use Ricochet to eliminate these enemies.
No matter how fast the Experiment Subjects were, they were useless against Sloan's Prediction.
Coupled with the powerful Sniper Rifle Bullets, a mere graze would blow off half an arm or half a thigh.
Sloan's face showed no Expression. His left hand supported the Gun body, and he calmly pulled the Trigger without a hint of trembling, truly like the Grim Reaper from Hell, the Soul Collector from the Underworld.
"Eliminate him! Eliminate that damned Sniper!"
