Chapter 771

If you fell, of course you had to get up, unless it was the last time you fell in your life.

From the time you fell to the time you got up, it might take a whole night of non-stop dreaming, or it might just be a few curses with foul-smelling saliva. In short, the muscles of your waist, abdomen, and legs needed to contract or relax, and your joints and bones needed to move according to the instructions of your brain.

But when the snipers on the rooftop looked at the guy in the mirror, they swallowed their saliva in disbelief. They believed that no one in the world could get up faster than him, because that person didn't seem to need such troublesome body movements.

…

…

The situation at that time could be described as follows: When the snipers on the rooftop found him and wanted to kill him, Xu Le knew everything and started to dodge.

The burning sensation urged the fibers of his muscles to compress violently. His body that fell to the ground trembled violently, like a goldfish that had been struck by an electric current. He suddenly bounced up and dodged the second, third, and fifth shots that followed.

It sounded like a very simple thing to do, but in fact, to dodge the high-speed bullets that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, he needed to completely follow the old thing's careful and precise instructions. More importantly, he needed to have some kind of ability, some kind of ability that could make a human's movements rapidly accelerate and even follow the old thing's instructions.

There were very few humans in the universe who had this kind of ability. Fortunately, Xu Le had always been one of them.

In a flash, amidst the muffled sound of the sniper rifle, he bounced up like a goldfish, retracted his limbs like a leaf in the wind, and then rolled to the left like rice pulp on an iron plate. In the end, he turned into an amazingly elastic glass ball. The tip of his foot touched the barrier in the middle of the road, and his whole shrunken body bounced to the other side of the street with a whoosh.

Five terrifying sniper bullets brushed past his body, past the fat belly of the goldfish, past the brittle edges of the leaves, and past the burnt top of the rice pulp. Bursting, bursting, bursting, bursting!

The concrete cracked like flowers, and the bullets sank deep into the ground like snow, but Xu Le wasn't hurt at all.

After avoiding the first wave of shots that had been adjusted with precise trajectory calculation, he felt much more relaxed. His sturdy thighs trembled, and the vibrating body bounced across the street like a marble. He knew that the following shots would no longer be able to threaten him.

The snipers in the distant building kept firing. The hard trees and the resin insulation blocks were bombarded with terrifying holes from time to time. All kinds of material fragments were flying in the air.

At this time, Xu Le had already run into the dark underground tunnel, preparing to return to his own underground world before the government's follow-up armed personnel.

What greeted him was a barrage of gunfire.

A military combat team occupied the end of the underground tunnel. Without any warning, they began to shoot. The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the tunnel. From time to time, cement fragments would fall from their heads. The air was filled with the smell of burning.

Xu Le, who hid his body behind a box, furrowed his brows in silence for a moment. Finally, he put down the plastic bag in his hands and the salmon wrapped in fiber paper. However, he didn't take out the gun in his clothes. Instead, he closed his eyes and fiercely smashed his fist into the wall.

Ever since he was young, he had been forced by the uncle to cultivate that mysterious power. After entering the Empire, his meridians had been shattered, but he had achieved a breakthrough. Now, the most powerful power had always been flowing in his body. His fist, which was mixed with this power, directly collapsed a corner of the wall, and a large pile of hard concrete blocks fell down in a mess.

Smoke rose. The shooting sounds of the combat team on the other side slowed down a bit, as if they were trying to figure out what was happening around Xu Le.

Xu Le lowered his head and carefully selected the hard concrete blocks by his feet. He grabbed them with his hands, took a deep breath, and then fiercely threw them over.

It was very similar to the actions of a child in a fit of anger at the end of a fight. However, the speed of the concrete blocks that carried his vigorous power was extremely astonishing! They released shrill screams in the dark underground tunnel, instantly piercing through the air and exploding in front of those Federation soldiers!

Pa Pa Pa Pa! The concrete blocks that were definitely not much weaker than bullets heavily smashed into the wall and the bodies of those Federation soldiers. Several painful groans could be faintly heard, and even the terrifying sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Under the cover of the terrifying lethality of the concrete blocks, Xu Le had already leaped up. His legs trembled violently, tearing apart the pants on his legs. It also caused his body to turn into a strange line, avoiding the concentrated gunshots that rang out once again. He shook the air all the way, moving forward in a terrifying manner!

In a short moment, the few people at the very front of the combat team on the other side fell heavily to the ground after being attacked. The other people who felt the powerful pressure shouted loudly, using bullets to suppress them, and retreated deeper into the tunnel.

What this combat team that arrived first needed to do was to stall for time. As long as they could hold Xu Le in this underground tunnel and wait for reinforcements to arrive one after another, then he would no longer be able to escape.

At the back of the underground tunnel, there was a blockade of bullets from the five sniper teams and the Federation forces that were rushing over at high speed. In the distance, the faint sound of sirens could be heard. Xu Le, who needed to make a choice immediately, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked up at the light screen on the wall in front of him.

Not sure if it was because the concrete blocks that flew like bullets hit the switch, but the light screen in the underground tunnel suddenly turned on automatically. The channel was the Federation news channel, and at this time, it was broadcasting a special program.

…

…

Last month, the Federation, who had won one victory after another in the war with the Empire, finally received their first heavy blow. In the war on planet Mo Hua, the Federation forces, for some reason, suffered an unusually tragic loss of a large number of troops.

Although in the eyes of military experts, the battalion and regiment from the 9th Military Region did not have any practical impact on the entire war, for some reason, the Federation news media carried out a very rare intensive report on this failure.

All the news media directly blamed the failure of this war on the Federation government. They believed that at such a critical time, the government blindly asked the troops of the 9th Military Region who did not receive enough battlefield training to leave the West Woods and go to the Empire to fight. This was a stupid move for political purposes! The government and the military should bear the responsibility for those soldiers who unfortunately died in the West Woods.

The people of the Federation, who were used to winning, watched the tragic battlefield images on the news screen. Some were crying, some were angry, and some were crying. But more than that, they were deeply afraid after seeing the failure for the first time. Only then did the people understand how terrible war was. The slightest mistake could cause the Federation to fall into a terrible future.

The Federation government, which was in a terrible state, did not have time to react before the front line ushered in another painful failure.

The troops led by the Empire's princess, Huai Caoshi, directly parachuted into the Mo Hua Planet and suddenly launched a huge attack. The Empire military paid a very heavy price and directly drove all the ground troops of the Federation out of the Mo Hua Planet!

In terms of the ratio of casualties and strategic significance, the Federal military could not understand at all why the princess would pay such a heavy price and sacrifice so much to take down the Mo Hua Planet. But the people of the Federation did not need to think about this. They only knew that the Federal forces had failed again.

The shadows were floating above the administrative planets of the various regions and refused to disperse for a long time.

At this time, the special program on the TV screen was President Pabre's speech. After the president received the news of another defeat at the front line, he immediately stopped the election campaign in the Xixia State and returned to the capital special district to give a very provocative speech. He announced to the entire Federation people that in this time of crisis, the troops at the front line needed their support the most, and what the Federation needed the most … was unity.

"Although the 62th Armored Division of the 6st Military Region has not been restored for a long time, based on the glorious history of this unit and the glorious achievements of the past few years on the battlefield, we have reason to believe that after they return to the front line, they will definitely bring more victories for the Federation."

The female news anchor of the Federation's news channel smiled and looked at the military expert opposite her. "The fact that the military has decided to move the new 62th Armored Division back to the front line means that the military has determined that the situation at the front line is already very tense. However, the reinforcements this time, including the new 62th Armored Division, do not exceed 655,555 people. Will they really help to ease the situation at the front line?"

The military expert did not think that the front line needed reinforcements at all, but he could not say that. After a moment of silence, he explained, "The new 62th Armored Division is one of the first two full mecha divisions of the Federation. They are equipped with 755 or so of the latest MX mecha. It is completely different from the traditional definition of a division. We can see that if we want to take back the Mo Hua Planet, in a situation where we have already lost control of the air, we can only provide protection for a very short period of time. Then …"

The female news anchor interrupted the expert's chatter and covered her earpiece as she listened to the director's instructions. She said somewhat hurriedly, "According to the image we just received, it seems that Mr. President is not satisfied with the arrangements of the official residence manager. He still has some things to say."

The image switched to the press conference room of the official residence of the President. The dark-faced President Pabre looked into the camera and said, "At this moment, Colonel Xu Le, if you really are a hero of the Federation, then please bravely step out into the sunlight. We …"

…

…

In the dark underground tunnel, Xu Le licked his dry lips as he stared at the faintly discernible bright light in front of him. He smiled and shook his head, putting down the unconscious Federation soldier in his hands.

In his hands was a three-part extendable stun baton. It was made of alloy and abnormally tough, and its entire body shone with a cold metallic luster, occasionally tinged with traces of blood.

In this short period of time, the dozen or so Federation soldiers in the combat team were all easily and cleanly knocked to the ground by the metal baton in his hands. Not a single one of them was able to put up any resistance, except for the extremely strong guy wearing a single soldier helmet in front of him.

The storm started again. Xu Le and this strong soldier fought together. The two of them silently attacked, retracted their legs, bent their knees, and struck from the side. It was impossible to see their movements clearly. One could only see the wind mixed with dust and dirt, reverberating in the dark tunnel.

With a crisp crack, Xu Le twisted his knee, and the stun baton in his hands struck the opponent's wrist. Then, like lightning, he flipped over and heavily hit the soldier's single soldier helmet.

The helmet burst open like a watermelon, revealing the pale and terrified face of the middle-aged man who was known as the third strongest man in Philadelphia. There was also a clear smear of blood on his forehead. Then, he slowly knelt in front of Xu Le, closed his eyes, and fell unconscious.

This was the first head-on battle between the small-eyed combat team and the small-eyed man, and it ended with the former's entire army being wiped out. These most elite special forces soldiers of the Federation, just like their special commander who had just returned from Fox Castle, lay pitifully on the cold ground.

In the dark underground tunnel, Mr. President's sorrowful summons echoed, as well as some low cries of pain that were not clear.
