I Added Everything to Strength - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Red-scaled Flying Dragon

Seeing this scene, a trace of curiosity about university life arose in He Mu’s mind.

What kind of education did these people receive that made them so righteous during this time of crisis?

“I still know too little about this world,” He Mu said in his head.

Although he didn’t know much about university life, he knew that the harshness of the university students’ cultivation was no less than that of the Red Mist Fighters in the army.

In his big brother’s words, Red Mist Fighters coming out of the army were better at large-scale group combat and knew how to cooperate with ordinary soldiers and slightly weaker Red Mist Fighters.

Red Mist Fighters that graduated from schools were better at individual battles and small group fights.

In general, Red Mist Fighters in the army were mostly gathered in military bases near the monster nests.

And most of the academy Red Mist Fighters ran around the country, carrying out designated monster removal missions.

Of course, this didn’t mean that Red Mist Fighters in the army were incapable of fighting alone. Red Mist Fighters in schools were untrained in group combat because the main direction of their learning was different.

…

Watching those powerful people disappear in the distance, He Mu quickly thought about what he could do in this disaster with his 80-odd combat points.

At that moment, another urgent mission popped up in the Red Mist Alliance’s software.

“Urgent mission. A series of rear-end accidents has occurred one kilometer north of you, including an overturned bus and truck and resulting in a number of people trapped. Please provide support quickly.”

Seeing this mission, He Mu hurriedly ran northward without much hesitation.

…

Three minutes later.

At the southwest edge of Nancheng, the sky gradually became turbid, and in the distance rolled sand and dust swirled overwhelmingly, forming a huge sandstorm!

Although it was impossible to see what monsters were within the sandstorm, their formation itself was appalling.

Sun Wei, the captain of the Special Operations Unit, stood on a tall building and looked at the sandstorm in the distance. He took a deep breath in front of the intercom and ordered.

“Fire!”

As soon as he gave his command, the sound of grinding gears sounded from the city barrier, followed by dozens of cannon muzzles poking out from the shadows.

Then…

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, countless rockets poured out like rain and interspersed with an almost continuous clatter of rotary heavy machine guns!

Boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of rockets exploded at the same time, covering an area of a thousand meters and almost scattering the entire sandstorm!

Before the explosion stopped, a second round of rockets were fired again, and it wasn’t exaggerating to describe the firepower covering almost every inch of land in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wei subconsciously stretched out his fist and hammered the edge of the window in front of him.

Just these two rounds of attack were enough to exterminate all the miscellaneous monsters with less than 20 combat power.

However, the good times didn’t last long. Just at that moment, an earth-shaking roar reverberated violently from the sandstorm!

Roar!

Sun Wei could clearly see that along with this roar, airwaves sprang up in the distant sky, and countless sand and dust scattered in all directions!

And the glass window next to him was also shaken and rattled!

One had to know that the sandstorm was at least thousands of meters away from where he was!

“Captain, A Type 1 monster, Red-scaled Flying Dragon, with a wingspan of about 40 meters and a combat power of over 800, was discovered in the distant group of monsters!”

Hearing the report over the intercom, Sun Wei’s cheeks couldn’t help but twitch.

As Wu An said, there were so many giants in the monster group.

In fact, it was unavoidable. If the army could precisely control what monsters could break out of the encirclement, the army wouldn’t have been so passive in their defense.

The Type 1 Red-scaled Flying Dragon with a combat power of more than 800 wasn’t something rockets could deal with.

The scales on this monster had a toughness that was tens of hundreds of times the strength of metal alloy, not to mention the layer of muscles underneath the scales were half a meter thick.

The density of this layer of muscles was as terrifying as a slightly-softened layer of strong metal layer. Not only could they resist attacks, but they could also cushion strikes.

And under the layer of muscles, there was a kind of protection called “bone membrane”.

Lastly, in the outer layer of the internal organs was the “dirty membrane”.

In short, whether it was armor-piercing rockets or ordinary bullets, they couldn’t penetrate the scales, let alone into the internal organs.

“A Red-scaled Flying Dragon with over 800 combat power!? What the hell should we do?”

Sun Wei stomped his foot and at the same time, a dragon-shaped shadow in the distant sandstorm had already appeared. It was apparent that the Red-scaled Flying Dragon was approaching Nancheng at a very fast speed.

In a breath, the terrifying monster with a 40-meter wingspan and a red body dashed out of the sandstorm and revealed itself. At the same time, countless rockets exploded around it, sending sparks bursting.

But no matter what, they couldn’t even tremble its body.

Because the impact of its assault was far greater than the explosive force of the various rockets.

Sun Wei had even witnessed a rocket blast on the eyes of the Red-scaled Flying Dragon. However, the Red-scaled Flying Dragon didn’t even blink its eye.

Its eye was even tougher than its scales.

“Damn! Try blasting it with an anti-monster cannon!”

Sun Wei yelled reluctantly.

At the command, two huge cannons quickly poked out from the ground.

These two giant cannons were 10 meters long with a barrel that was nearly half a meter in length, albeit the muzzle was only 10 centimeters thick.

The so-called anti-monster cannon was equivalent to an enlarged super anti-material sniper rifle.

In a powerful blast, the giant cannon shot a special skeleton bullet that was only two fingers thick and weighed three kilograms.

Only such a bullet could possibly prevent the warhead from bending after piercing the scales and continue to maintain its power to penetrate the muscle layer and blast into the internal organs.

This was also the largest single lethal weapon at the disposal of Nancheng’s Special Operations Unit. Monsters below 500 combat power would almost inevitably be severely wounded as long as they were hit.

The only drawback was the extreme inflexibility.

Before the fall of the meteor, human thermal weapons were largely developed in the direction of destruction. But this world seemed to be heading in the development of a single destructive matter.

It was against this background that the anti-monster cannon was born.

If this type of cannon was placed before the meteor descended, a row of tanks could be directly shot through. But in terms of efficiency and practicality, it wasn’t as good as a multi-barrel rocket launcher.

Seeing that the Red-scaled Flying Dragon was only less than a kilometer away from Nancheng, the two anti-monster cannons quickly calculated the flight trajectory, and within a second spewed out the fire serpents at the same time!

In the distance, the Red-scaled Flying Dragon’s body trembled violently, and its scales suddenly exploded!

And only a second later, Sun Wei managed to hear the dull cannon sound and the roar of pain from the giant monster.

“Damn it! I knew this wouldn’t work!”

Sun Wei cursed in a low voice and subconsciously looked at a building across the street.

In that building, Wu An was sitting with his eyes closed, as if he didn’t see or hear anything.

The Red-scaled Flying Dragon only needed a few seconds to traverse across the distance of a thousand meters. During this opening, the anti-monster cannon blasted twice more and although the attacks wounded the Red-scaled Flying Dragon, they weren’t fatal at all.

Three seconds later, the Red-scaled Flying Dragon flew to the front of the barrier and swept its claw!

Boom!

In an earth-shaking explosion, the anti-monster cannon that was tens of tons in weight was lifted off the ground. The areas where it flew past and the barrier it slammed into collapsed.

And because the Red-scaled Flying Dragon tanked a lot of rockets and heavy machine gun bullets, at the moment, a large ferocious group of various monsters approached the barrier, some of them still embedded with bullets and shrapnel.

Listening to the loud explosions and sensing the tremors of the building, Sun Wei looked at Wu An again. Sun Wei yelled, but no matter how hard he screamed, all he heard were explosions, and not even he could hear himself.

In the distance Wu An opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and looked somewhere else.

A few moments later, the remaining monsters swarm into the seemingly-empty city.

The Red-scaled Flying Dragon in the sky, on the other hand, zoomed straight to a building not far away.

At that moment, the unoccupied street suddenly collapsed, and a human figure shot up like a rocket into the sky, dashing at the Red-scaled Flying Dragon high in the sky!

BANG!

A dull sound overwhelmed all the clamors, and the Red-scaled Flying Dragon came to a halt after being stopped.
