Chapter 261: The Paradox of the Shield and Spear
The sounds of propellers could be heard as I laid low within the ruins. Three military grade helicopters slowly approached, dropping many medics and special force soldiers, all of whom were wielding submachine guns as they swiftly sealed off the area. At the same time, a 50 year old began to approach. On his shoulders was an olive branch with 2 golden stars underneath, which meant that he was a Lieutenant General!
……
The Lieutenant General looked around the battlefield and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Walking up. he asked, “Who is the person in charge here?”
Wang Xin’s face went pale as he stood to attention, “I am, Hangzhou’s special division group leader, Wang Xin.”
“Hello!”
The officer held out his hand to Wang Xin and said, “I am Sun Xiang, Lieutenant General of Nanjing’s military district. I am in charge of the administration regions for the special division’s operations. The events that transpired tonight must not be leaked to the public!”
“Of course, sir!”
“So tell me, what in the world happened here…in this lifetime of mine, I have never seen such a desperate battlefield like this one….”
Sun Xiang clenched his hands, staring over the wilderness around us.
Wang Xin followed behind closely, “The son of a merchant in Hangzhou was killed today and the killer wanted 5,000,000 RMB in exchange for the corpse to be returned. This was meant to provoke us, so we responded with 25 SWAT members to purge their numbers. We didn’t realize the men waiting here to fight us wouldn’t be human…”
“How are they not men?” Sun Xiang asked.
Wang Xin responded, “They had strength and vitality that were unmatchable. Plus, their entire bodies were covered by mysterious fish scales that even bullets couldn’t penetrate through. Their movements were extraordinarily quick and immediately killed 7 people while wounding another 12. Our damages were disastrous.”
“Bullets weren’t able to penetrate their skins?”
Sun Xiang crouched down and flipped over the dead body of one of the monsters. Seeing its skin, he gave a frown. Taking out a pistol, he fired once and sure enough, the bullet didn’t go through. Frowning, he called out, “Bring a body back to the base and find out what makes up their DNA! The Nanjing base will provide additional men for any future operations. Wang Xin, the losses that happened today were far beyond your control, do not put all of the blame on yourself!”
Wang Xin didn’t say anything.
Sun Xiang looked at the monster’s body once more, “The bullet didn’t even go through the outer skin, how could he have been beheaded? The cut was so nice and even, so this was done by a sword. How is this possible?”
Wang Xin lowered his voice, “The Hangzhou special division has a young expert with astonishing strength. His attacks completely ignored the defenses of these monsters.”
“Oh? Who is this expert?”
I slowly stood in front of him, with my left hand still holding Xiao Hei, and my right hand saluting him.
“Young man, was this really done by you?” Sun Xiang asked.
“Yes sir.”
“Not bad…” Sun Xiang’s pupils flashed in satisfaction momentarily before saying, “I didn’t know Hangzhou had their own Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon person, and you’re so young as well. If we had more experts like you, hmph, what would we fear? Kid, what is your name?”
“Li Xiao Yao…”
“Ah…” Sun Xiang jumped.
“Sir, what’s wrong?’
“Its…It’s nothing…” Sun Xiang shook his head, “It’s just that…I had an old friend who spoke of that exact name before. But that happened a long time ago…”
Staring at the dead soldiers on the ground, Sun Xiang said, “Go ahead and give them a good burial, they were good people. Also, send a monster body to to the Tian Xin Corporation and have them help us identify the DNA. They’re experts in this field after all.”
“Yes sir!”
……
11 at night, back at the Hangzhou police station.
After the 7 dead bodies of the SWAT members were transported back, each one of us was still racked with grief and indignation. The injured were still howling, but thankfully, they were all treated and bandaged already. It hadn’t been too long since Wu Lei’s arm was cut off, so the chances of replacing it weren’t low. My own body had plenty of claw marks, but luckily they hadn’t cut into my muscles or bones. However, plenty of scars would remain afterwards.
“Ah…”
