The Death List Novel - Chapter 482
Chapter 482 Song Of Hell
“Guild Leader Qin Lun, aren’t the three of us wasting our time guarding this place?” Rice puffed her cheeks and pretended to be dumb and cute as she stared at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun glanced at her but did not answer. After getting along with the two mission worlds, he basically understood this girl. Although his ability to plan wasn’t very strong, the bad habit of having a bad stomach and a bad taste was definitely deep into his bones, and he was comparable to Shepherd Hill.
Their current location was on the northern bank of the Thames, on the rooftop of a building opposite MI7. Although superpowers have appeared more and more in front of the world due to the spatial rift in recent years, governments still habitually conceal the existence of superhumans.
The building where MI7 was located was originally small and old. After the previous terrorist attack, it looked even more shabby outside. Of course, MI7’s real headquarters was not a building on the ground, but on the third floor of the building. The facilities inside were basically the products of the first technologies.
In fact, the small street where MI7 was located was basically within their surveillance range. Because the main facilities were underground and there were only a few elevators at the entrance and exit, the defensive arrangements were quite perfect.
The reason why the Byron Tai brothers of the Millennium Bug were able to break through MI7 last time was mainly due to two factors. One was surprise, and the other was the use of ghouls to carry out human explosions.
Of course, Qin Lun and the others couldn’t use a suicide bomb regardless of their losses. However, their attack this time was smoother than the previous one, and the resistance they encountered was even less. Apart from the fact that MI7 had lost a large amount of combat power and hadn’t had enough time to replenish it, it was also because of Lieutenant Sorin’s illusion ability that it shone brightly.
This female warrior, who had a somewhat masculine temperament and appearance, used her unique illusion ability to deceive most of the surveillance cameras. The commandos did not realize that something was wrong until they took the elevator to the second basement floor.
This time, Qin Lun divided the entire assault team into two parts. Mrs. Monica led Grant, Captain Hans, Lieutenant Sorin, and a class-sized parachute guard to forcibly break through, while he led Les, Lieutenant Liebert, and several German snipers to scatter and ambush the rooftops of buildings opposite MI7 to block any possible external support from the enemy.
Captain Hans and the rest of the German soldiers had no objections to the tactical arrangements. They inherited the good discipline of the German Army. Grant and Rice, on the other hand, did not think much of Qin Lun’s distribution of personnel.
It was only natural for snipers to be deployed outside, but whether or not Qin Lun, Rice, and Uncle Li were needed was a matter of opinion.
There were roughly three outcomes to their attack this time. The first was that the British did not expect them to attack MI7, and the whole process was smooth sailing. According to the information sent back by the Y2K spies in London, there was a sixty percent chance of this happening.
The second scenario was that the British had already ambushed a large number of people in MI7, causing the commandos to fall into their trap. However, this possibility was extremely slim and almost negligible.
After the attacks on London, Moscow and Washington, most of the world’s major powers have tightened security surveillance at home. Although the three Nazi organizations deliberately left behind information about Qin Lun and the others in the attack, and hinted that the second wave of attacks would still be launched in London, the world’s major powers would still not give full support to Britain. They still needed to leave enough super-human experts at home.
Intelligence intercepted by British Customs shows that there are about 200 superhumans gathered in London at present. However, the difference in combat strength between superhumans and superhumans was very large. Most of these two hundred plus people could only be called reinforcements, not superhumans in the true sense of the word like Captain America.
These Reinforcers were enough to kill a squad of Special Forces soldiers against an ordinary human army, but even a First Grade expert like Rice would only be killed instantly if they encountered a true Superhuman.
There weren’t more than twenty superhumans in London who could really fight against Qin Lun and the others. The Avengers Alliance and Green Academy were already included here.
Of course, the number of Samsara and Apostles currently hidden in the shadows cannot be counted. However, Samsara and the apostles had their own interests. Unless they were directly involved in the battle, it was impossible for them to rush out as targets, so they could be ignored for the time being.
There were already twenty superhumans, but London was the capital of England and there were too many places to be on guard. Downing Street, Buckingham Palace, various government agencies, and the residences of high-ranking politicians … Twenty superhumans weren’t enough, so it was unlikely that they would concentrate on ambushing MI7.
If this kind of collapse really happened, then they could only rely on the Sandstorm Queen’s ability to directly break through from the ground to the ground and flee for their lives.
As for the last situation, there was a thirty to forty percent chance of it happening. After all, MI7 was Britain’s official superhuman organization. With such a heavy loss, they might recruit some “civilian superpowers” on an ad hoc basis.
In other words, the current MI7 had a certain chance of recruiting a temporary mercenary, that is, a superhuman troop mixed with apostles or reincarnations.
If he really encountered such a situation, the situation would be more complicated. The storyline tasks of both parties were opposed to each other, and there was no room for compromise.
Although the commandos had four experts that were close to or surpassed Second Grade, Sorin, Lieber, Rice, and other First Grade experts with their own characteristics, plus a group of personal guards who were all Reinforcers, they were capable of crushing any group of apostles. However, after splitting into two teams like Qin Lun, he gave the enemy a chance to defend, wait for reinforcements, and disperse to escape.
This was also why Grant and Rice were complaining. However, after some consideration, Qin Lun decided to split the team into two parts. One reason was that the German warships led by the Zeppelin had not been able to launch cover attacks on time at the start of the raid.
Qin Lun knew that something was wrong with the interior of the warship, but he believed that with Paikonoda around, the situation on the warship should be under control very soon.
However, he did not know how long the cover attack would be delayed. Once the time was prolonged, Les or Lieutenant Lieutenant Liebert would be the only ones in charge of blocking the enemy’s reinforcements. Perhaps they would not be able to stop the Avenger Alliance and other powerful organizations. If the enemy caught a turtle in a jar, he wouldn’t even be able to cry.
The second reason was that the Byrontai brothers led the ghoul squad and failed to completely break into the core area of the third floor during the first ambush of MI7. Although they had caused heavy casualties to the British, the reinforcements of the Hellsings arrived in time after the troops entered the second basement and were annihilated by the enemy.
Because of this, the post-war intelligence did not reveal the secret retreat route of MI7. In other words, even if Qin Lun and the others broke into the third floor, they would still miss the big fish and be escaped from the secret passageway by an important target. As for the outsiders, they weren’t strong enough to intercept them.
“Major, look!” Just as Qin Lun was carefully pondering over the entire tactical arrangement and wondering if there were any loopholes, Lieutenant Li’s soft voice reminded him.
Qin Lun followed the lieutenant’s fingers and saw that the Thames estuary, which was London facing the North Sea, was as bright as day. The originally dark night sky seemed to have returned to the evening sun, and the sea-sky junction was shining with a large amount of multicolored light.
“Rumble ~ ~” After a few seconds of delay, a series of muffled thunderous sounds that seemed to be coming from before Xia Yu completely drowned out the sounds of gunfire from MI7.
“Major Montana, we’re finally on the move!” Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief. Although he hadn’t seen the British support team yet, he believed that the news of MI7 being attacked a second time had already spread.
If the Zeppelin’s cover operation was a few minutes later, they would be in danger. Now that the large-scale attack had begun, the superhuman organizations in other regions were no longer able to determine whether MI7 was important or not.
Qin Lun glanced in the direction of the sea and looked up into the air. The hand in his right eye slowly jumped on the silver dial. He could already see countless objects dragging flames falling rapidly from the sky and smashing into various parts of London under the far superior vision of humans.
Correspondingly, countless missiles with trailing flames also rose into the air on the ground in London, forming a defensive net to catch the attackers from the sky head-on.
“Boom ~ ~ ~” Continuous fireworks exploded high up in the sky, illuminating almost every corner of London City. The entire world seemed to tremble in the might of war created by humans.
“What a spectacular sight!” Qin Lun had already stood up from his hiding place and let out a low groan towards the night sky that was as bright as day. Even though he was so far away, he could still feel the strong smell of sulfur.
The missile-to-missile contest was decided almost instantly. The British defence system played a part, and most of the incoming missiles were destroyed in the air.
However, in a sense, they also failed, because a small number of air-to-surface missiles broke through the defensive net and landed in various parts of London City.
In preparation for the raid, Major Montana took out almost all of the millennium bug’s stockpiled missiles. Zeppelin, Germany, and Kiel carried a total of nearly 300 air-to-surface cruise missiles. Even if only a third of the missiles hit the ground, it would be enough to turn London into a campfire.
Standing on the rooftop of this 50-meter-tall building, Qin Lun could see dazzling mushroom clouds slowly rising from every corner of London City.
Following which, black smoke rose into the sky, exploding, crying and collapsing like a song of hell, waking London up from her sleep late at night, causing her to let out a painful groan.
“We … created a hell!” Qin Lun whispered in his ear. He turned around and saw that Les, who usually smiled playfully, was frowning. Her eyes were a little drifting, and her fat oval face carried a trace of a rare solemnity.
As for the other woman, Lieutenant Lieutenant Li was still doing his duty, calmly observing her surroundings with her strange long spear. However, her face was slightly red, and an unconcealable excitement flashed in the depths of her pupils.
“Hell? Heaven? It’s all created by humans. Is there anything different?” Qin Lun looked indifferently at the scene in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled into a trace of mockery.
“Gerthard, we’ve encountered some trouble. Two big fish have escaped. You guys pay attention to intercept them!” Just as the three of them were sighing with emotion, Lady Monica’s voice came from their headphones.
