What If I Can't Die? Chapter 663 - 663 Gun Immortal (1)

Chapter 663 - 663 Gun Immortal (1)

663 Gun Immortal (1)

When Song s.h.i.+ came to the cannon fodder camp more than a month ago, he was guarding Highland 6863.

This was because this high ground was more than ten kilometers from the next defense line, and the official soldiers would not care much about cannon fodder. If the mutated beasts chased after them, they would naturally be doomed.

Due to Song s.h.i.+’s outstanding personal ability, he naturally had the right to leave with the most elite people when retreating.

After resting for a day, at noon the next day, Song s.h.i.+ received news that the entire camp was about to retreat.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, trucks drove out from behind. Many cannon fodder began to pack up their tents. Song s.h.i.+ was called over and did not need to do these ch.o.r.es.

When the Camp Commander saw Song s.h.i.+ coming over, he walked to the observation deck and said, “You’re less than 3,000 points away from 10,000 military merits. What are your plans for the future?”

After thinking about it, Song s.h.i.+ realized that he did not have many plans. He only had a general idea, which was to be free and quickly become stronger.

He said, “Let’s leave the cannon fodder camp first.”

“Hehe, you have a chance to escape now. Recently, after the Wen Palace Company heard about your achievements, they wanted to take you in and make you an official sniper.”

The Camp Commander smiled and said, “How is it? Do you have any thoughts?”

“What’s the merit?”

Song s.h.i.+ could not leave at this stage. He did not mind moving to a better place.

“Because your military merits have already exceeded 3,000. You can take off your ident.i.ty as a death row criminal. After you go over, you can receive the treatment of a sergeant, and the other treatment will be much better.”

The Camp Commander introduced himself and said, “You still don’t know my name, right? My name is Zhang Jiqing. I was originally from the Wen Palace Company.”

“Do you often come into contact with mutated beasts there?”

Song s.h.i.+ asked. Before he reached the Connate realm, he would always rely on external objects, especially mutated beast meat. If he did not hunt mutated beasts and eat them, it would affect his cultivation.

“The Wen Palace Company belongs to the special forces and can take the initiative to attack. Their main mission is usually to deal with mutated beasts.”

“Then I have no objections.”

“Alright, I’ll get them to prepare something for you. We’ll bring you over when we set off to the second line of defense later.”

After Zhang Jiqing finished speaking, he looked around. “After staying here for more than half a year, I’m going back again. Every autumn, I shrink back and come back in spring. To be honest, it’s quite aggrieved. How could such a thing have happened a hundred years ago?”

“Is this true in every city?”

Song s.h.i.+ was curious.

“More or less. This is called a strategic contraction. It’s even more so the closer we get to the north. After all, the land can’t grow food in autumn and winter, so it’s not worth much.”

Zhang Jiqing said, “Without land, food is still too scarce. Ordinary people can’t expect to eat mutated beast meat.”

“It’s been a hundred years. Is it still so difficult?” Song s.h.i.+ frowned.

“There’s no choice. There are too many mutated beasts. In the past, it was fine if firearms could suppress them. After the threat of firearms decreased, humans retreated step by step. For example, in places like the deep mountains, forests, and oceans, we humans don’t even have the qualifications to go deep into them now. Only the strongest superhumans can go in, but we can’t stay for long.”

Zhang Jiqing shook his head helplessly. “For an Enhancer like me, I can kill Level 2 mutated beasts with a gun, but I can fight them in close combat. Level 1 mutated beasts can threaten my life.”

“I’m still not strong enough.”

Song s.h.i.+ nodded. If there were enough powerhouses here, combined with firearms, they would not be in such a state.

Although he had never seen the cultivation techniques of this world, he could roughly guess that the cultivation system was not powerful enough.

He thought of something and said, “Let Li Cha and the others follow me later. I have to take care of them.”

“That’s not a problem.”

Zhang Jiqing was very happy for Song s.h.i.+ to do this because this proved that Song s.h.i.+ was a grateful person.

Since Song s.h.i.+ could take care of Li Cha, he would also take care of him in the future.

“We have to leave soon. If we retreat during the day, we will be able to see clearly even if there are mutated beasts chasing after us.”

Zhang Jiqing nodded at the Adjutant. Soon, the ground shook and a rumbling sound appeared, mixed with cracking sounds.

The three batteries actually moved. They slowly rose from the ground, revealing the tracks below, and began to move.

Zhang Jiqing smiled and said, “This is a mobile battery. If it’s fixed, it will definitely be destroyed by the mutated beasts if it stays behind. The price is very high. Not only can this be convenient to use, but if it’s surrounded when retreating, it can also counterattack to a certain extent.”

“That’s good.”

Song s.h.i.+ agreed.

Other than the disadvantage of being slow, the mobile battery had many benefits, especially as a heavy firepower point. It could effectively deter mutated beasts and was much safer than a group of people retreating with guns.

The troops quickly gathered. There were nearly a hundred fewer people than when Song s.h.i.+ came.

The cannon fodder boarded the truck while the official soldiers and logistics personnel retreated from the high ground and began to retreat to the distant base in the plains.

There was a very tall city wall outside the base city that could be seen from afar. However, it was more than ten kilometers away. It could be seen that the city wall was rather shockingly tall.

Before they could retreat far, the low roar of a wild beast suddenly appeared and attracted everyone’s attention. The soil on the surrounding ground suddenly churned, and many cat-sized rats suddenly crawled out like a black tide that surrounded everyone.

“It’s a rat group. Don’t let them get into the car.”

“Fight!”

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly fired at the ground. These rats were not strong individually, and under the attack, blood splattered everywhere and many of them died on the spot.

However, there were still gray rats that kept emerging from the hole in the ground. The rats that had missed had already arrived in front of the carriage. They opened their mouths to reveal their teeth and crazily bit the tires.

Song s.h.i.+ had already killed a few rats and realized that the tires were actually solid. Although they had been bitten by the rats, they would not affect the car for the time being.

However, if this continued, it would definitely stop.

“Die!”

Someone held a strange tool that was connected to a pipe and spat out a large amount of flames at the ground. The rats on the ground were immediately ignited and rolled on the ground screaming.

Song s.h.i.+ knew at a glance that everyone was experienced and knew how to deal with the situation. He retracted his attention and kept firing with his a.s.sault rifle, easily killing the rats.

At this moment, many more flying insects appeared. These insects were also very big. The key was that they could fly. One by one, they shot from the ground into the car and easily tore apart human arms, piercing through bodies and even heads.

When Song s.h.i.+ saw that Brother Cha’s convoy was also targeted by the insects, he immediately turned around.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a gunshot, a bug was pierced through. Before the dozen or so flying insects could land on the car, they were killed by Song s.h.i.+ halfway.

It looked like Song s.h.i.+ was shooting continuously, but his bullets actually hit different targets. The official soldiers who were counterattacking beside him were even more impressed.

“It’s too awesome. The a.s.sault rifle is used like a submachine gun. The key is that every shot seems to have hit.”

“They’re really lucky to be taken care of by the Gun Immortal.”

“I heard that they took care of the Gun Immortal when he had just arrived. Now, he’s returning the favor.”

The pressure on the official soldiers was less, and there was still time for discussion. As for the Gun Immortal, it was the nickname they had given Song s.h.i.+ because his nickname was Immortal Emperor.
