Chapter 140: Carnage (Third Update)
Fengpo Mountain Underground Tunnel.
Miao Lun was clad in heavy armor and carrying a 14.5mm caliber air-defense machine gun. Through the observation port at his cheek, his eyes flashed coldly.
"One hundred and fifty meters to the southeast, there are about thirty warlord soldiers. Directly ahead is a company from Beautiful Country, equipped with heavy machine guns, anti-material sniper rifles, and rocket launchers. Make sure to be careful during the attack and prioritize neutralizing these firepower sources. Also, watch the 11 o'clock direction, where there are armed helicopters..."
An intelligence officer continuously relayed the external situation to Miao Lun via the headset, and due to the presence of the Insect Control Technique, the battlefield was almost transparent to Jieke Security.
Miao Lun did not know how this information was obtained, but he trusted it was accurate.

He kept taking deep breaths, as just above his head was the enemy's main force entering the mountain.
"Ten seconds."
Miao Lun's hands gripped the steel alloy ladder, step by step, he climbed toward the ground above.
The heavy battle armor stepped on the escalator, making a creaking sound as mud shook off.
"Three seconds, two seconds, attack now."
As the command to attack was transmitted through the headset, Miao Lun had also climbed to the top of the shaft, pushing aside the manhole cover buried under fallen leaves and dirt, and his entire body suddenly accelerated as he leaped out.
On the ground, a soldier after another turned their heads at the noise only to see a Steel Monster emerging from the ground that didn't belong to their side.
"Eat bullets."
Miao Lun grinned wickedly, pressed down the gun barrel, and unleashed a barrage of 14.5mm bullets, thicker than fingers. The soldiers, caught off-guard, were cleaved into two by the tens of thousands of joules from the bullets. The surrounding ground was instantaneously stained red with blood, filled with the sounds of agonizing screams.
Miao Lun's first targets of attack were the soldiers from Beautiful Country directly in front of him.
These soldiers were especially well-armed, carrying a lot of individual heavy firepower, which he needed to eliminate first.
"Oh God! Where did this guy come from?"
"Fire quickly, retaliate, retaliate."
"It's no use, my bullets can't penetrate, what kind of armor is that?"
"Fuck, David you piece of shit, stop cowering in the back, bring up the rocket launcher and blast this monster."
The mercenaries from Beautiful Country were terrified. Although they had heard rumors about Super Soldiers, facing one directly and seeing such a violent side was utterly petrifying to them.
Miao Lun did not choose to stay in one spot. His body, fortified by the Strengthening Pill, provided him with a robust physique and keen senses.
While sprinting rapidly, the air-defense machine gun in his hands continued to spray fire, the long chain of ammunition wildly trembling.
The first to fall to Miao Lun were the machine gunners and those carrying rocket launchers among the soldiers.
Occasionally, some missed rocket launchers and snipers attempted to aim, but he made it difficult for the enemy to target him accurately by moving at high speeds, and he would neutralize those fire points at the first opportunity.
Even in heavy steel armor, he ran with superhuman speed, transforming the machine gun in his hands into the reaper's scythe to harvest row after row of living lives.
At this moment, Miao Lun on the battlefield was almost conducting a unilateral slaughter. Ordinary bullets did not scare him at all. Soldiers carrying heavy machine guns, anti-material sniper rifles, and rocket launchers were his first targets to eliminate, and with exceptionally precise marksmanship, he left rivers of blood in his wake.
"Operation center, this is A3, we need close air support."
"Received, arranging 23rd helicopter for support."
"How long until arrival? Our position is marked with red smoke grenades. The enemy is at 185 degrees, 200 meters away, within a dangerous distance."
"Received, I am at your six o'clock, currently searching for the enemy, preparing to attack."
Whoosh whoosh!
A fully armed helicopter rushed towards Miao Lun, a consistent practice of the Beautiful Country—to call for air support whenever there's a disagreement.
But Miao Lun was not alone. Having initiated the battlefield, other members of Jieke Security climbed out of the Fengpo Mountain Underground Tunnel, occupying nearby shelters, and launched several man-portable air defense missiles straight into the sky.
"God, incoming air defense missiles, quickly deploy flare decoys."
The armed helicopter luckily avoided the air defense missiles and performed drastic low-altitude maneuvers, causing the missiles to miss their target.
However, the helicopter's reduced altitude also provided Miao Lun with an opportunity.
The next moment, Miao Lun aimed the anti-aircraft machine gun at the helicopter and opened fire, his tracers almost forming a continuous line of light.
With precise control, the bullets hit the helicopter's vulnerable rotor linkage, causing it to spin uncontrollably and crash down out of control.
Similar scenes occurred everywhere in Fengpo Mountain, and not many armed helicopters providing low-altitude support were lucky enough to dodge the man-portable air defense missiles, most were directly shot down.
Jieke Security had assembled almost all of their super soldiers in ambush here, who now surged out from underground, blooming amidst the enemy troops.
And in the mountainous dense forests, the heavy vehicles of the Beautiful Country struggled to advance, their heavy firepower rendered ineffective.
Facing this scenario, the soldiers of the Chan Country Government Army and the warlord soldiers were the first to collapse, either surrendering on the spot or turning to flee, leaving the soldiers of the Beautiful Country behind.
Beautiful Country soldiers continued to hold their ground as they had already called for reinforcements from the military airport at the rear, and those fighter jets were not as easily taken down by man-portable air defense missiles.
The killing on the battlefield continued.
Yet these engaged Beautiful Country soldiers didn't know that the air support they so desperately awaited might not arrive in time.
...
Feike Airport.
This used to be a military airport of Chan Country, which had now been commandeered by the Beautiful Country, significantly expanded, hosting numerous jet fighters.
When the battle in Fengpo Mountain kicked off, the airport received a report, and the control tower immediately organized for several jet fighters to enter the runway, preparing for take-off to support the front-line operations.
But at the same time as the battle in Fengpo Mountain began, ten kilometers away from Feike Airport, a huge underground tunnel was being opened. Multiple rocket launchers began to roll out.
"All rocket units, pay attention, target number three, support point, vertical coordinates 83123, horizontal coordinates 62382, altitude... finalize parameters, prepare to launch."
Following rehearsed procedures, the rocket launchers gradually raised their barrels, and with the command, a barrage was unleashed.
Thick rockets ignited rapidly, ascending into the sky, creating a stunning meteor shower as they plummeted towards Feike Airport.
After a brief flight, the rockets landed on Feike Airport.
The jet fighters, which were urgently preparing for take-off, were fully fueled and armed—the rockets landed precisely.
Like a volcanic eruption, rockets exploded one after another, turning the airport instantly into a charred wasteland, strewn with remains, with expensive fighters destroyed on the runway.
The fully fueled and armed jet fighters exploded due to the rocket hits, greatly magnifying the destruction.
From a distance, Feike Airport constantly experienced explosions, with burning fuel flowing everywhere, engulfing the entire airport in flames.
Even more disastrously, due to the rush to arm and take off in support of the front line, the ammunition and fuel depots were not properly secured. The final two massive explosions sent up two large mushroom clouds—it was the ammunition and fuel depots hit by the rockets, igniting countless tons of fuel and ammunition stored inside, completely devastating the airport, with hardly one in ten survivors.
