The group arrived in front of the ancient city gate. Ye Lei stepped forward and tried to push it, only to find that the gate was tightly closed and showed no signs of loosening, confirming that it had been firmly secured from the inside.
It seems the only way to get into the city is to force our way through.
Despite facing the tightly closed city gates, Ye Lei remained calm and composed.
He calmly took out a heavy machine gun from his spatial storage, loaded it with magazines, and then handed one to each of Xia Yuhe and Bei Anna, an MP18 submachine gun, since sniper rifles were of limited use in this situation.
Not only that, Ye Lei also thoughtfully prepared a bulletproof vest for everyone, including Red Boy and Xiu Xiu.
Of course, for an undead skeleton with incredibly hard bones, ordinary bullets pose no threat, so there is no need to equip it with bulletproof gear.
After everything was ready, Ye Lei arranged for Xia Yuhe and Bei Anna to stand on either side of the gate, while he himself stood in the center of the gate, holding up a machine gun to signal to the two that he was ready.
At this moment, everyone was on high alert, waiting for Ye Lei's order.
"Red Boy, charge!"
"receive!"
Red Boy walked steadily to a meter in front of the gate, spread his legs apart, put his hands on his hips, and squatted down slightly, assuming a calm and confident posture. Everyone knew that this was a sign that he was about to unleash his ultimate skill.
As expected, it slowly took a deep breath, then opened its mouth wide, and a blazing flame, like a fire dragon emerging from its cave, shot out and rushed straight towards the thick, ancient wooden city gate.
The flames roared, like molten lava churning, red and orange mingling together, with a chilling purple light flickering in between.
Even from several meters away, you can clearly feel the scorching heat, as if you were in a desert on a hot summer day, being assaulted by the heatwave.
This attack was highly effective. The wooden door was quickly engulfed in flames, and thick black smoke billowed out in the blink of an eye. Not only that, but even the iron handle on the door was heated to a bright red, as if it might melt at any moment.
Just five minutes later, the entire city gate was ablaze, and many parts were charred black. Ye Lei believed that this commotion must have alerted the scavengers inside, and he had to hurry.
"Red Boy, get out of the way! Undying Skeleton, attack!"
"Oh..." The undead skeleton let out a deep roar, striding majestically to the front of the city gate.
It raised its scythe high and swung it forward with tremendous force. The immense power sent the scythe cleaving towards the city gate like lightning, and in an instant, a deep crack appeared before everyone's eyes.
However, the undead skeleton did not stop. It swung its scythe again, this time with all its might. With the second attack, a conspicuous X-shaped crack appeared on the city gate.
This city gate was incredibly sturdy; despite suffering such severe damage, it still stood firm and did not fall.
However, in the eyes of the undead skeleton, this obstacle was insignificant. It raised its broad skeletal foot and kicked out with what seemed like a casual kick, but it contained immense power.
The wooden city gate, which had withstood a century of wind and rain, collapsed with a crash under this kick. The moment the gate fell, Ye Lei pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun in his hand without hesitation.
"Da da da..." A series of rapid gunshots rang out, accompanied by flashes of light and billowing smoke.
A burst of bullets shot out like a fire dragon, heading straight for the scavengers at the forefront.
These scavengers probably never expected the enemy's firepower to be so fierce, and were caught completely off guard.
Amidst the hail of bullets, they were all hit and fell to the ground, their originally menacing charge instantly disrupted.
"Everyone, find cover immediately and give them a good beating!"
At Ye Lei's command, everyone rushed in like tigers descending a mountain.
Xia Yuhe and Bei Anna cleverly hid behind the stone pillars at the entrance, while Ye Lei, along with Xiu Xiu and Hong Hai'er, quietly hid in the corner of the wall.
The other side clearly realized that these uninvited guests had ill intentions, so they all stopped their charge and took cover behind cover.
In an instant, the two sides engaged in fierce firefights. Bullets flew through the air like meteors, and some even collided with each other in mid-air, sparking sparks.
Taking advantage of the brief interval while reloading, Ye Lei threw two grenades without hesitation. With two loud "booms," the screams of the enemy echoed throughout every corner of the castle.
However, at that moment, an enemy grenade unexpectedly landed at Ye Lei's feet. Before he could react, Xiu Xiu quickly picked it up and threw it into the distance. The grenade exploded in mid-air into a dazzling firework.
It turned out that Xiuxiu had been constantly on her feet. Although she was not good at shooting, she remained highly vigilant, observing her surroundings intently and preparing to deal with any unexpected situations.
Meanwhile, the scavengers were in complete chaos! They had thought they were facing just ordinary enemies, but they hadn't expected the enemy to have such powerful firepower. The sudden attack caught them off guard and instantly disrupted their formation.
In the central hall of the castle, a middle-aged man dressed in a light blue silk nightgown sat in the chief seat. He looked somewhat languid, but his eyes revealed a sense of authority and confidence.
Clearly, this man was the leader of the group of scavengers, and he was currently directing the battle with great tension.
"Damn it! Who are they? How can they have such firepower?"
The eldest brother cursed under his breath.
"Boss, I don't know. We drove back all the police who came during the day!"
A man in tattered clothes standing below answered.
"The enemy has broken in, so where are all the sentries on the castle?"
"Boss, I just went up to check, and they...they're all dead!"
"What? How did these people get up there? How come there wasn't a sound?"
"I don't know, we were also awakened by the gunfire!"
"Damn it, how dare they be so arrogant, daring to bully me like this! Beat them, beat them hard! Bring out all the heavy weapons!"
The old man roared in exasperation.
"Roger that, boss. We'll make sure they don't leave alive!"
"Then what's the point of talking? Let's go out and fight!"
The boss also stood up from his comfortable chair, grabbed a machine gun from one of his men, and rushed out the door.
