The Death List Novel - Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Roar, Gnyssenau
“Woo ~ ~ Boom!” Casablanca, who had just ushered in the dawn, fell into a nightmare-like hell as loud screams flashed across the sky from time to time.

The Gneisenau is equipped with three 283mm triple-barrelled main guns with a firing rate of 2.5 rounds per minute. The cannonball crossed several kilometers of harbor at more than twice the speed of sound and landed inland from above the city, leaving half a block in ruins every time its main cannonball was fired at the same time.

Not to mention the natives and allied forces of Casablanca, even superhumans like Skorzny could not help but lift their hearts, as if they were standing on the edge of a cliff, when they heard that terrifying scream.

“Boom!” A cannonball landed very precisely not far in front of the Rangers’ hiding place, probably less than 50 meters away.

Qin Lun and the others felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently, as if they were in an endless storm. In front of everyone, a 330-kilogram shell smashed into the Casablanca garrison like a giant hammer. The huge military building seemed to have been bitten by a giant beast. The main building collapsed, revealing only half of the rooms in the building.

In fact, the 12 150 mm sub-cannons of the Casablanca were the most destructive, apart from the shocking main cannon of the Gneisenau. The sub-cannons, carrying special incendiary bombs, almost turned the centre of Casablanca into a sea of fire.

…

“Elaine, Elaine, where are you? Cough cough!” Liv Goldman ran out of the room with her hair loose, her face dark, and she looked like a little beggar.

She hadn’t recovered from the intense battle last night. Adding on the fact that the red-haired girl was sleepy, she was still immersed in her sleep at dawn. When she woke up from the explosion, she thought she was having a nightmare. A 283mm artillery shell hit the lobby of the hotel where they were staying, and the resulting explosion almost knocked down the roof of the entire hotel.

“Liv, I’m here. Are you alright?” The white-haired girl held a sheathed western sword in her hand, covered her nose and mouth with one hand, and walked out from the dust.

“You … Hahaha, you’re dressed so coolly!” Liv looked over and suddenly pointed at her companion, smiling back and forth.

“I’m not like you, a lazy cat. Last night, I got into bed without even taking off my clothes!” Elaine lowered her head and looked at the three-point stance on her body. She raised her round chin without changing her expression.

“I… That’s because I’m too tired!” Liv waved her pink fist in frustration. “Besides, Teacher said it was best not to take off your clothes during the battle. Even during the rest of the hunters in the same group, there must be at least one person on guard. I’m here to take care of you!”

“Don’t make excuses, little lazy cat!” The white-haired girl tilted her eyes and looked at her companion with contempt. “Even Philip’s group of men would not lie on the bed without even taking a bath after the battle like you!”

“Hehe, at least for now, I don’t have to go through the garbage to get dressed!” The red-haired girl smiled and said.

“I hate those Germans!” The white-haired girl looked at the ruined hotel room and pouted in embarrassment.

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked out of the ruins of the hotel.

“Hehe, Elaine, don’t be angry. Actually, you look quite handsome in this man’s dress!” Liv rolled her eyes meaningfully at her companion.

“Shut up!” Elaine waved her tied white ponytail and threw a sanitary eye at her companion. “What should we do now? Should we go to the Alliance Army’s’venue ‘to take a look?”

“I think … we should find the professor first!” Liv tilted her head and thought for a moment, but didn’t immediately agree with Elaine.

“Mom!” Just as the two girls were hesitating, a tender cry came from the street.

The two turned around and saw a two-year-old boy sitting on his knees in front of the ruins of a residential building not far from the hotel. The little boy wiped away his tears with one hand, while his fat little hand struggled to reach into a small hole under the ruins.

Elaine’s expression tightened as she quickly ran to the front of the house and picked up the little boy. “Little friend, this place is very dangerous. Quickly leave this place …”

“No, I want my mother!” The little boy was ungrateful and struggled to free himself from the white-haired girl.

“Elaine, look!”

Under the hole in the ruins of the houses, a black arm stretched out from the hole, and his palm twisted into the mud. This is a woman’s hand. It should be the little boy’s mother.

“She only had time to push the child away …” Elaine was silent for a moment before she said, “Should we meet up with the professor?”

“No, we will stay. The bombardment of the German battleship is not over yet. The Allies will not care about the lives of the civilians in Casablanca. We can save more people if we stay!” The mischievous smile on Liv’s face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

“I let him fall asleep. Let’s go. Hand him over to the civilians who escaped first, and then we’ll start searching for the other survivors under the ruins.” The white-haired eldest daughter looked at the little boy in her arms and sighed. “Now I know why the professor changed the original intention of the guild and let us join the war.”

“Those Germans are too much. Even a war shouldn’t involve civilians!” The red-haired girl gritted her teeth and said, “Last night, I should have held on a bit longer. When you come to support them, they won’t be able to escape.”

“Forget it. Didn’t you say that those two fellows are very explosive? Plus, I don’t have the confidence to forcefully keep them here. Moreover, the Allies had already learned from last night’s battle intelligence that the German commander was the SS leader known as the ‘European Ghost’, Skorzny. Perhaps only he would give such a shelling order without caring about civilian casualties, “Elaine said hatefully.

…

“Is there anyone alive?” Within the tattered defensive fortifications, an Allied corporal pressed his helmet on his head and called out to his comrades with a grey face.

“Corporal!”

“Corporal, I’m glad you’re still alive!” A sparse response sounded from the smoke. Several Allied soldiers pushed open their sandbags and climbed out of the collapsed fortifications.

“One, two, three … Eh, where’s Carl? Is he dead?” The corporal counted his men and found that the youngest soldier in the class had disappeared.

“I’m here!” Within the white smoke, a deep voice could be heard. Then, a figure threw out the smoke in a strange posture and fell towards them with open teeth and claws.

“Bang!” The corporal reached out and hugged the figure, but was brought to the ground by the heavy body of the other party.

“Karl, why are you sinking? Hey, get up from me … Eh, you …”

The corporal pushed away his companion’s body and stood up only to find that Carl was a little abnormal. His skin was pale and bloodless, and there were two small holes in his neck, as if he had been bitten by an animal. His eyes were wide open, and he had an incredibly terrifying expression on his face. He had already died a long time ago.

Karl was already dead, then whose voice was that! The Alliance Corporal suddenly raised his head to look at the smoke in front of him.

“Ah!” Just as the corporal was about to remind his men, a series of miserable screams rang out beside him. A black figure jumped down from the sky like a big bird, landed behind a soldier, and lowered his head to bite his neck.

Following the attack of this unknown creature, the smoke behind them seemed to have come back to life, swarming towards the crowd. A lion-headed monster pounced out of the smoke and stretched out its thick arms to the left and right, pressing down on the heads of the two soldiers.

“Pu!” The heads of the two soldiers burst in front of the corporal, blood and brain fluid splashing all over his face.

“What is it?” The corporal was both shocked and furious. He subconsciously raised his M4 submachine gun and was about to shoot at the two monsters in front of him.

“I don’t think you should do this!” A German with a strong Munich accent sounded in the corporal’s ears. At the same time, a large hand circled around the corporal’s side, lightly resting on the lower part of the submachine gun and raising the muzzle of the gun.

“Da da da!” Following the gunshot, the corporal felt an ice-cold dagger pasted on his neck.

“Sigh!” The corporal covered his throat and fell back with a stunned expression. The last thing he saw was a British lieutenant with a light gray indifferent gaze behind him.

“Lieutenant Colonel, why don’t you use an American uniform?” Qin Lun nimbly pushed away the corporal’s corpse, avoiding being splashed with blood on the British lieutenant’s uniform that was used to conceal his identity.

“Haha, this is the advice of the local intelligence personnel. Using the British uniform can avoid a lot of trouble, at least they won’t be temporarily dispatched by the US army on the way!” ‘”Even if we’re interrogated, we can pretend we don’t know the American password,” Scolzny said with a smile.

“Unfortunately, we can’t sneak into the museum with British military uniforms!” Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders.

“We can’t sneak in with American uniforms. They’re guarded by special forces of the Allies. Look at the uniforms of these soldiers. They’re no ordinary army. They’re America’s most elite 101st Airborne Division!” Lieutenant Burke walked over from behind the two of them, his eyes flashing. “Looks like I can see the abilities of these fellows this time.”

“Baron, have the museum moved those big shots to other places since the bombardment?” Skorzny turned around and asked.

“No, no. My avatar has been monitoring the three targets, but no one has come out!” Weidenbaille frowned and said cautiously.

“Lieutenant Colonel, I think all three buildings should have underground shelters. They won’t move blindly. It’s highly likely that they will have shrunk to the ground.” Grant said calmly, “Now is the time for us to make a decision. Which target should we attack?”

The three suspicious targets they had identified were the Casablanca Museum, the largest bank building in the city, and the Allied garrison. These three buildings were now under the care of the Gnyssenau, turning into three piles of rubble that were almost razed to the ground. The surrounding fortifications and neighboring streets were also completely destroyed, turning into a sea of fire.

‘”It’s already morning. The Gnyssenau is about to engage the British fleet, so we can’t give us any more artillery support. We can’t attack three targets at the same time with effective manpower. The two Shermans in front of the museum have not been moved yet, so we chose it!”

‘”The reorganized commandos are scattered all around. They will be responsible for stopping the enemy reinforcements for us until the entire army is annihilated! We will have less than 20 minutes.”

“Attack, German gentlemen!”
