Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1761: Full Firepower

The snipers of the X Legion initially held the advantage, but somehow, one by one, their members were shot by the enemy, screaming as they fell from the Tower of Darkness.

"How could this happen?" The X Legion was incredulous; they hadn’t hit any enemies yet, but they had already lost ten of their own. This was highly abnormal.

Typically, with the geographical and numerical advantage, the X Legion shouldn’t be experiencing this.

Could it be that because the X Legion has more people, they’re more easily discovered? At first, the X Legion thought it was just a coincidence, but as the battle continued, several more were taken out.

Now, the X Legion realized something was wrong. After all, everyone usually shoots once before changing positions, and the X Legion uses the Tower of Darkness, which allows them to switch more positions, making it difficult for the enemy to pinpoint them.

Yet the opposite has occurred; X Legion members are being picked off one by one, almost as if the enemy is effortlessly identifying their positions, even making the X Legion suspect that the enemy already knew where they were.

In the command center of the Tower of Darkness, Ning Qi was also observing the situation and noticed things weren’t quite right. She ordered her subordinates to bring up more surveillance footage around the Tower of Darkness and the enemy’s surrounding buildings.

Frame after frame of footage flashed in Ning Qi’s eyes, most of it inconsequential, with nothing suspicious noticed by the average person.

"Wait a moment, those birds." Ning Qi spotted many birds circling around the Tower of Darkness, which seemed unusual; such an intense battle would have frightened the birds away.

After pondering, Ning Qi realized: "So that’s how it is. Xiaojin, this is your doing. Since you all are cheating, I won’t hold back either."

*****

At this moment, Jie had already taken down more than ten snipers from the X Legion, almost shouting with joy, having never experienced the thrill of covertly taking down enemies.

Lu Yi simply said, "Enough, stop while you’re ahead, lest they get so desperate that they stop playing the sniping game and switch to a strategy we’re not good at."

Upon hearing this, those around looked at Lu Yi with eyes full of resentment, making Lu Yi realize he spoke out of turn and quickly cover his mouth.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaojin shouted, "This isn’t good, there’s danger, quickly leave this building."

"Damn, I just said it offhandedly." Lu Yi wished he could slap his mouth but refrained and ran faster than anyone else.

From the Tower of Darkness, several cannons extended from the walls, targeting the building where Jie, Lu Yi, and Gu Xiaojin were situated.

"Hit them hard!" With a command from Ning Qi, all the cannons unleashed their fury, countless bullets spraying out in an instant, like a torrential storm battering that building.

These weren’t ordinary bullets; with unstoppable destructive power, they easily pierced through the outer walls. A single bullet was a minor devastation, but countless bullets were a terrifying barrage.

The debris of stone and glass shards mixed, scattering in all directions, as bullets continued relentlessly through the building’s second layer of walls.

The resistance fighters ran through hallways, up staircases, and in rooms, feeling the bullets whizz past and the sting of debris penetration, realizing the terrifying power of the enemy’s firepower.

Some were unfortunate enough to be struck by a barrage of bullets, not just one, but over thirty at once, the impact so severe, flesh and blood sprayed, limbs severed.

While running, some saw their companions ahead suddenly struck down, their blood splattering onto their faces.

This was the disparity in firepower and strength, with the X Legion making it clear to the resistance that no tricks would suffice.

Lu Yi held a shield high, walking slowly, completely ignoring the bullets. The ancient super-civilization shield was unimaginably strong.

Gu Xiaojin walked at a steady pace as if nothing could surprise her, sensing danger and adjusting her speed accordingly, even as bullets whizzed past her.

Seeing this, Lu Yi sighed, "Why did Gu Ling’s ability pass to Gu Xiaojin? Is Gu Xiaojin actually Gu Fan’s daughter or Gu Ling’s daughter?"

Jie was also confused, "This family is really a family; even the daughters are indistinguishable."

Suddenly, a scream interrupted Jie’s thoughts, likely his subordinates being attacked. The scream was brief, as the rain of bullets quickly claimed a life.

As a leader, Jie felt helpless when his subordinates were in danger. Yet in this situation, there was nothing he could do but for everyone to escape separately.

Lu Yi patted Jie’s shoulder, offering comfort, "This battle is brutal. We all came with certain resolve, so don’t hesitate, don’t feel guilty, just do what we can."

Hearing this, Jie nodded, channeling his sorrow into determination for battle, turning grief into strength.

Gu Xiaojin reached the back door first, with the lucky survivors following, each looking haggard; even if not injured, they were covered in dust.

Seeing Gu Xiaojin unscathed, without even a speck of dust, everyone couldn’t help but lament, "With the father and daughter both cheating, how can we even play?"

Suddenly, the sound of attacks outside ceased; the enemy had stopped firing, and the pressure on everyone immediately lifted.

Lu Yi couldn’t imagine how the outer walls fared, perhaps riddled with holes, with smoke still billowing out.

"Alright, let’s hurry and leave here, find another place and continue fighting them," Jie said, stepping forward to open the door.

Gu Xiaojin, sensing something, immediately stopped Jie, warning there was danger outside.

"What?" Everyone was terrified, absolutely trusting Gu Xiaojin’s words.

Jie frowned, imagining the scene outside with nearly a hundred enemies armed and ready, fearing the fate awaiting them if they rushed out.

"What do we do, the front door is blocked, and the back door is surrounded by enemies," everyone was tense, hands trembling on their guns, all eyes turning to Jie for a solution.

Jie was under immense pressure, with everyone’s lives in his hands, pondering how to lead them to safety.

But before Jie could devise a plan, the sound of gunfire resumed outside, and everyone’s hearts sank once more.
