CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 349: LITTLE QIQI IS MY GREATEST TRUMP CARD!

Swish, swish, swish～

You could say that as fast as these shells fell, their speed was just as astonishing on the return trip.

In nearly the blink of an eye, they returned to the skies above the artillery positions.

At this moment, the soldiers of the heavy artillery squad, who were preparing for a second round of strikes, froze upon hearing that familiar whistling sound, and then a sense of dread surged in their hearts.

Not good!

Rumble, rumble, rumble～

Unfortunately, before the heavy artillery squad soldiers could react, the shells had already bombarded the positions.

Blistering fireballs exploded on the positions, and the self-propelled howitzers shattered amidst the flames, with the deafening roar continuing unabated, terrifyingly so, as the entire position shook violently.

The terrifying blast wave swept up the dust and dirt from the ground, and even the nearby damaged self-propelled howitzers were overturned by the strong force.

At this moment, the entire artillery position was relentlessly plowed by shells, leaving it in utter ruins, with casualties everywhere.

Everywhere were deep craters like scars in the earth, scattered with charred remains, and various scorched and twisted components of the self-propelled howitzers flying all around.

"Ah～"

"Help me... I don’t want to die!"

"Pain..."

"..."

Of course, dozens of shells did not completely annihilate the entire position. On the smoke-covered ground, many surviving soldiers from the heavy artillery squad lay scattered.

However, almost everyone was wounded, with some crying out in pain, others begging for help, and some were even left dazed and unresponsive...

At the temporary command center.

The commander, upon hearing the commotion, frowned, sensing that something was amiss. This concentrated sound of explosions seemed far away, unlike the sounds coming from Hengye District.

"What’s going on? Why are the shells landing in the wrong place? The coordinates were given, what’s the heavy artillery squad doing!"

The commander’s expression darkened, as he reprimanded coldly.

And at this time, an officer hurriedly entered with a look of panic.

"Sir, there’s been a problem on the heavy artillery squad’s side. The shells they fired came back directly on the artillery positions!"

"What? How is that possible! The artillery position is thousands of meters away from here. Who has the capability to move those shells over there!"

The commander, alarmed, stood up from his seat, eyes filled with disbelief.

"Sir, it’s true. This is the battlefield footage sent over by the remnants of the heavy artillery squad..."

The officer, looking somber, handed a tablet to the commander.

The slightly calmed commander took the tablet and, upon seeing the charred corpses and the flaming wrecks of self-propelled howitzers in the footage, pain flashed in his eyes.

With difficulty, he sat back down in his chair, his eyes filled with hatred as he said in a deep voice, "What’s the loss to the heavy artillery squad?"

"Sir, this time the heavy artillery squad suffered a heavy loss. Out of thirty-six self-propelled howitzers, only three remained intact, the rest were all destroyed, with no repair value whatsoever.

In terms of personnel, only about twenty soldiers survived by luck, though many are severely injured and in urgent need of medical treatment!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of hatred also flashed across the officer’s face as he recounted the damage caused by the Corpse King to the heavy artillery squad.

"Hmm!"

Bam!

Upon hearing that the heavy artillery squad was nearly annihilated, the commander, who had already suppressed his anger, felt it surge once again, slamming the table heavily.

"Fire, order the troops in the front to attack fiercely! Even if I die today, I want to take a piece of flesh from that Corpse King!"

"Commander..."

The senior officers next to him were about to advise, but they swallowed their words.

The Corpse King had inflicted such a heavy loss on them, if they couldn’t make it pay, they’d be held accountable when they returned to the Base City.

It wasn’t just the humans; seeing the power displayed by Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan was equally astounded.

He didn’t expect that such terrifying energy could erupt from Little Qiqi’s petite body.

Is this the true power of Little Qiqi after reaching the fifth tier?

And standing beside him, Zhao Lin looked utterly amazed at Ji Ruxue unleashing her power, her brain felt a bit cramped.

What’s happening?

Is this Little Qiqi’s doing?

Does Little Qiqi have such strength?

From now on, will I still need to protect Little Qiqi?

Or in the future, will it be the other way around, with Little Qiqi protecting me?

........

Outside Hengye District, after the orders were given again, the military soldiers, no longer questioning the heavy artillery squad’s issues, eagerly launched an attack toward the interior of Hengye District.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh～

In no time, mortars, machine guns, rocket launchers, even tanks and helicopters in the air, all began to bombard the Corpse Puppets within Hengye District.

Especially a dozen tanks and the armed helicopters in the air, all fired at suspicious floors.

Instantly, a barrage of shells crossed the sky, covering various locations in Hengye District.

Simultaneously, those soldiers with rifles began firing at the Corpse Puppets and suspicious floors, the barrage of tongues of flame seemed to turn the entire Hengye District into a sieve.

"Hmpf, don’t even think about it!"

In the room, Ji Ruxue, panting slightly from her exertion, snorted coldly, and once again deployed Time Control.

Immediately, whether shells or bullets, they all eerily halted in mid-air.

The whistling sound of shells and bullets flying across the sky suddenly stopped, plunging the entire Hengye District into a strange silence.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh～

At this moment, under the stunned eyes of the military soldiers, Ji Ruxue unleashed her telekinesis, reversing the direction of the shells and bullets in an instant.

"Run quickly..."

A scream came from the crowd, and the next second, the dense barrage of explosions spread across the perimeter of Hengye.

"Ah～"

Following a series of tragic screams, like mowing down grass, large swathes of human soldiers were sent reeling and fell to the ground.

The reversed shells ignited the munitions at several mortar positions, blasting them into oblivion, while mortar soldiers were launched into the air, their bodies charred.

Armed helicopters erupted in fire and plummeted down.

The armored vehicles and tanks were hit by their own shells; many caught fire and exploded instantly, and some nearby soldiers were caught in the blast, shredded into a mist of blood by the armor fragments.

Even some armored tanks that didn’t explode were lit on fire, and the soldiers inside, engulfed in flames, frantically crawled out, their mouths letting out horrifying screams.

Seeing Little Qiqi take the humans to the brink of defeat with a single move, Lu Chuan, who was about to summon the Corpse Puppets to attack the humans in front, also stopped abruptly, filled with a deep sense of pride.

With the powerful ability displayed by Little Qiqi, none of the fifth-tier zombies under his command could match the little one.

So young, yet possessing such frightening power...

From now on, Little Qiqi will be my biggest trump card!
