Chapter 351: Help Me

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Bang! Ryder threw out a white phosphorus grenade. The phosphorus powder inside ignited in the air; the resultant flames engulfed over ten lizard-men sculptures on the right.

The lizards who were devoured by the fire rushed out bravely. Their stone bodies were white and chapped, but it did not affect their actions.

White phosphorus grenades were once used as incendiary bombs. They were filled with a large number of thickeners, which could burn on human bodies and equipment, penetrate skin and flesh right into the bones, and leave no remains behind.

Because it was too cruel and inhumane, the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, adopted in 1980 classified it as a prohibited weapon, but the domineering United States had not signed the Convention.

White phosphorus grenades were characterized by its incendiary tendencies. However, these sculptures were heat-resistant and lifeless. Although they burned all over, they were still fighting bravely with their stone forks.

At this time, the white phosphorus grenades were not as effective as an ordinary grenade in dealing with the dead without souls.

Boom!

The rocket grenades left behind a trail of straight smoke in the air and smashed the dozen lizard-men sculptures that were hurling themselves at Ryder.

“Don’t use white phosphorus bullets. These guys can only be smashed with brute force!” The RPG-carrying companion roared at Ryder.

More than half an hour ago, the sculptures that were originally dead suddenly revived and attacked all the living humans in the wilderness. In the face of the sudden attack, two experienced members of the Association of Superpowered Beings were killed and many more were injured.

Since then, a tough battle for survival had ensued.

More than 20 members of the Association of Superpowered Beings, like pitiful creatures trapped in the siege of thousands of troops, were suffering and trying to hold on.

They discovered that abilities couldn’t effectively damage sculptures, but pure “violence” could effectively destroy these monsters.

At this time, heat weapons were obviously the best choice. As an organization in a country regarded as a military superpower, the Association of Superpowered Beings did not lack advanced weapons. If it wasn’t for the space and quantity restrictions of the wallets and the strict control of Baoze Group at the time of entry, they could have moved in a small arsenal, or even a micro nuclear warhead.

Relying on excellent equipment and the escape route given by vice-president Wald Jones, after losing a third of its members, the Association of Superpowered Beings successfully escaped the siege of the sculpture army and broke out of the formation.

At present, they were being hunted by a small army of lizard-men. The so-called small army was small with respect to the total numbers of the lizard-men, but for the sixteen members of the Association of Superpowered Beings, it was still a huge army.

We spent so much effort to get to the Great Deities Palace. We didn’t obtain the treasure, and lost a lot of teammates. People in the Association of Superpowered Beings cursed to themselves.

“Come to me, Ryder.” Victoria grabbed a stone fork and crushed it. She kicked the lizard-man sculpture on the waist, breaking it. She turned her head and saw Eric staring into the distance.

“Eric, do you want to die?” cried the girl.

Eric suddenly returned to his senses.

Victoria shouted, “The vice president is peak S-class, he will be okay! Let’s get together with Baoze Group’s people as soon as possible. Then, the vice-president will be at ease.”

Eric shot down a lizard sculpture. “Can we really be saved once we find Baoze?”

Victoria thought of Li Xianyu and others, and replied, “At least, we won’t be like now. How long can our ammunition last? The monsters are endless.”

“I meant, I’m afraid they can’t even protect themselves. There are more sculptures there than here.”

Without waiting for Victoria to respond, the rest of the organization’s people took the first step and answered, “Eric, what’s blinding your intelligence? Baoze Group has more equipment and ammunition than us, more people than us, and ten experts who are no weaker than the vice president. Don’t forget, there’s the Unparalleled War Spirit too!”

At this moment, it was estimated that not only the Association of Superpowered Beings, but also other demon descendant families that were trying to return to the bronze palace. Baoze Group was there, as well as the Unparalleled War Spirit, who they once hated and wished death upon.

The thinking of the Association of Superpowered Beings was very simple. Baoze Group was an official local organization and an ally. It was right to find them in times of danger. Hence, when Victoria took out her walkie talkie to ask Li Xianyu for help, the Association of Superpowered Beings was pleasantly surprised.

She was, indeed, the popular goddess of the organisation. She had social skills, and even managed to get Baoze Group’s walkie-talkie.

There was a way out.

Victoria tried to contact Li Xianyu when they were besieged, but at that time, he turned off the walkie talkie and focused on dealing with the sculptures. Victoria’s request for help fell on deaf ears and was not answered. During this period, several of her people died. At that time, Victoria’s friends thought pessimistically that it was a plastic friendship indeed. Chinese people were not reliable.

Fortunately, not long ago, Victoria successfully contacted Li Xianyu and got a positive reply. Now, Baoze Group’s reinforcements were coming.

The mood in the Association of Superpowered Beings changed from sorrow to joy. How hypocritical.

At this time, a large number of sculptures stopped attacking, but they were not afraid of the overwhelming firepower. These monsters did not have consciousness; they had no soul, and no fear.

They took an action that caused the expressions of the people from the Association of Superpowered Beings to change. The lizard-men on the ground and in the sky raised their stone forks high up, bent backwards, and prepared to throw their stone forks out.

“Everyone, defend!” Eric roared.

Victoria kicked the ground and blew a deep hole in the brown earth. Without saying anything, she pushed her brother Ryder into the hole and pressed him down. Before the stone forks were thrown, she created an absolutely safe field for Ryder.

Victoria’s skin had a metallic luster and a hard metallic texture. Victoria was known as the Association of Superpowered Beings’s female god of war. Her title came from her ability. Metallizing ability could resist the attack of large caliber assault rifles. Her style of fighting ensured that she was always on the frontline. Because of this fighting style, she earned the title of Goddess of War.

Ryder was trapped in the mud pit, feeling his sister’s body turn hard immediately. Then, there was a loud crashing sound from his sister’s back. It was like hail hitting the roof of a car, dull and loud.

That was the sound of the stone fork exploding and splitting open.

His elder sister used herself as a shield to shield him from the fatal injury. Unlike other companions, she couldn’t avoid it and could only take the beating.

Every blow made her frown. At first, she could resist it, but she could not resist the almost endless attacks. Finally, her mouth oozed blood.

If the stone forks were compared to bullets, Victoria was standing in front of the muzzle of the heavy machine gun at this time, facing its fire.

“Pfft!” Unable to breathe, she didn’t grit her teeth in time. She spat out the blood that had flowed into her mouth cavity, staining Ryder’s face.

“Sister, leave, leave!” said Ryder, trembling.

“Leave me alone. You’ll die like this. You leave.”

“Go and break through! You still have a chance to break through.”

She vomited more and more blood, and her facial expression gradually withered while her metalized skin turned dim. Any ability had its limits. It could block a large caliber sniper gun, but not ten or a hundred.

“Shut up!” Victoria shouted.

Her temper and fighting style did not match. Her real character was actually gentle and kind-hearted, rarely shouting at people or even getting angry easily. For other American girls, once Li Xianyu’s left hand caressed them, they would either fall into the trap or fall out with him.

“Remember what Mom told me before she left?” Victoria frowned and suffered a lot of attacks, but her tone was very gentle. “She held my hand and said, Victoria, mom is going to heaven, Ryder is left with only you. You have to protect him. If you don’t protect him, he won’t live…”

Victoria’s voice was getting softer and her consciousness was drifting away.

Ryder’s eyes and the tip of his nose was red, and tears flowed out of his eyes and over his temples. He was only five years old when his mother died. Victoria was ten. When he was young, he didn’t understand the meaning of death, and he didn’t remember what his mother said to his sister. But, from childhood, it was his sister from the same mother who took care of him and protected him.

The McCarthys were a young and vigorous demon descendant family, whose huge influence often signalled a complex factional network. Their father did not just have them as children. On the contrary, Ryder and Victoria had countless brothers and sisters, excluding the illegitimate children outside.

There were not so many geniuses in the world. The outstanding elites come to the fore only later. The young ones didn’t get too much attention from their father. The children who lost their mothers would have a bad time in the McCarthy family.

As a result, in her childhood and adolescence, Victoria acted as a mother and sister, fulfilling her promise to her mother.

Over the years, Ryder had grown up, but in a crisis, she still subconsciously protected her brother.

“Who will save you? Who will save you…?” You protect me, but who will protect you?!

Ryder’s ability was considered a supporting type. He played the role of an excellent scout and human radar in the team. He was not good at fighting and needed to be protected by his teammates.

He knew that he would never be able to protect his sister. He didn’t have that ability.

“Who will save me?” Victoria murmured, remembering a not so distant memory. More than two years ago, in the Middle East, far away from America, her team went to the battlefield to carry out a secret assassination mission.

The target was the head of an armed force. When the mission failed, the whole team was completely killed. Only she survived the shelling and the attack from hostile demon descendants, relying on her excellent metalizing ability.

However, she could only delay death at best. She couldn’t escape at all. When she was at her wits’ end, a young man from China descended from the sky. He was also in the Middle East to carry out a task. He was passing by here and saved Victoria, whose life was in danger.

The task, given an S-rating in terms of difficulty, seemed to be trivial to the young man. He saved Victoria, and also completed her assassination mission for her.

Victoria, who was always strong in her younger brother’s mind, experienced the feeling of being protected for the first time in her life. Since then, the figure and appearance of the young man had been deeply imprinted in her mind.

After returning to the United States, she used her memory to draw out the outline of the young man’s face, expending all efforts to find the man.

Victoria began to learn Chinese, and began to pay attention to the movements of the Chinese demon descendants’ community. She began to pay attention to any little bits of information pertaining to that man.

Before the signing of this year’s alliance pact, for many years before, the relationship between the Chinese and American demon descendant communities were not good. The demon descendant community of the United States even mocked that the Chinese was led by monks. They were ill-disciplined, and would not achieve great success.

It was true.

However, in recent years, Baoze Group had risen rapidly, and the Chinese demon descendants’ community ushered in its first reform: the birth of a strong and orderly organization.

The people of the Association of Superpowered Beings hated this situation. They all said that the situation was not good. The Chinese demon descendant community was about to rise, and they felt uneasy. Only Victoria revelled in this news, as she treated them like her own.

The stone forks smashed hard on her back, and she suffered from headaches due to prolonged and continuous trauma. She longed for the man to show up again and save her from a desperate situation, just like back then.

At this time, the lizard-men sculptures suddenly appeared in a state of chaos, and the explosion sounds were more audible as they got near. This attracted the attention of the remaining forces of the Association of Superpowered Beings, as well as the lizard-men sculptures.

The circle of monsters on the left side was destroyed. The man in charge held two submachine guns. The dense barrage of bullets broke out and smashed the monsters into pieces. In this situation, it was like Zhang Fei reincarnated. It wasn’t hard to obtain the general’s head even when there were numerous troops.

He was followed by a small group of Baoze employees holding submachine guns. More than ten of them formed a sharp bayonet team and fiercely stabbed into the monster group.

Two high explosive grenades exploded near Victoria, clearing the monsters around her.

“Hello, Victoria, are you dead? Reply to me.”

Victoria laboriously opened her eyes. In the blurred vision, a pair of military boots stepped on the dark brown ground and came to her. Her eyes moved up. The man held a submachine gun in his left and right hands. He fired expressionlessly, with smoke in his mouth. He was coquettish, like a lad who was wearing skin-tight leather pants and leather boots and twerking in front of an audience on a brightly-illuminated stage.

Victoria murmured, “Qin Ze…”
