The Death List Novel - Chapter 499
Chapter 499 Advance by Leaps and Bounds
“This direction … seems to be the headquarters of the Hellsings, right?” Looking at the three’s route, Grant remembered a little and asked doubtfully, “Will they still stay there?”
Grant’s suspicions were not unreasonable. The headquarters of the HELLSING Agency was a noble manor disguised as a vacation home. The architectural style was dignified and elegant, but after all, it was an old-fashioned building. The main body of the building was not as tall as a modern building.
From where they were, they could already see everything clearly. The lawn in front of the manor was full of corpses of guards and crusaders, blood and grass stalks mixed in the soil.
The exterior walls of the manor were dilapidated, and some of the broken steel bars in the cement were exposed. The fountain with the statue of an angel in front of the manor had disappeared, leaving behind only a huge crater. It was probably a shocking explosion by a helicopter rocket.
The right side of the manor’s main building also disappeared, revealing broken furniture and furnishings. The wall was riddled with holes from top to bottom, like a mouldy piece of cheese, or like a flower that had been ravaged by a storm.
“Haha, when I was on the Qi Bolin warship, Major Montana told me countless times about the leader of the HELLSING mechanism. He seems to admire that woman named Intergula very much.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “He said that although the other party is only a woman and her actions are not mature enough, she has the courage of an ancestor. Not only is her methods bloody, but her personality is also very stubborn.”
Since she had risked everything to liberate Alcatel, she had already bet everything on herself. Such a person should not leave their headquarters before the end of the war. Grant, look at the corpses of the guards at the front of the manor. Are they like a bunch of stray dogs that escaped in a sorry state and were slaughtered from behind by the Crusaders? ”
“Indeed” Grant grinned, his eyes flashing with a red light as he licked his lips with a sinister smile. “You really made me a little excited. Qin Lun, you didn’t mean to!”
“Hey, I didn’t know you had such a special taste. Didn’t you like all those beautiful creatures? No matter what, Intergula looks like a manly woman, right?” Qin Lun looked at Clown’s excited and bloodthirsty expression and raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised.
“Hehe, you don’t know what true beauty is!” Grant glanced at Monica floating in the air and smiled meaningfully at Qin Lun. “In this respect, I feel that I have more in common with the other part of your body!”
The corner of Qin Lun’s eyes twitched fiercely and he shut his mouth speechlessly.
The three of them were very fast. Not long after they got off the helicopter, they arrived near the headquarters of HELLSING.
The battle here seemed to have just come to an end. Perhaps Alcatel had attracted all the attention of the Crusaders after liberation. They had withdrawn their troops from the siege of the manor, and this area was in a deathly silent state after the war.
“Gerthard, I’m going to scout inside the building!” Monica frowned and looked around. “This place makes me feel very uncomfortable!”
“No, Monica!” Qin Lun reached out and grabbed the Sandstorm Queen and said solemnly, “Please respect me and Captain Klug. We are not recruits and do not need babysitter care!”
“Then … Alright, I’ll leave this place to you!” Mrs. Monica was slightly stunned. Seeing Qin Lun’s serious expression, she didn’t seem to be joking. She finally covered her mouth and smiled. “I’ll give you the formation. If there are any enemy experts coming this way, I’ll remind you!”
“It’s really enviable. Hey, Qin Lun, the Sandstorm Queen doesn’t seem to have much to do with the history of this world. Why don’t you pay a price to bring her into the starry sky?” Grant smiled as he looked at Monica, who was flying into the sky.
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he shook his head indifferently. Grant was a little surprised, but he didn’t ask again.
Clown probably didn’t know that his servant Apostle needed to share information on the upper limit of his longevity soul. The Sandstorm Queen’s bloodline was too special. Even if her strength hadn’t reached a higher level, she probably wouldn’t be much weaker. After turning Didi into a servant Apostle, Qin Lun only had 97 Longevity Soul Points left, which was not enough to take her away.
After an episode, the two of them once again focused their attention on the manor in front of them. Although the main building of the manor was dilapidated and looked like it was on the verge of collapse, what was strange was that some of the villa’s rooms were still flashing with lights.
These faint lights, which seemed to be extinguished in the next moment, were like the last glimmer of hope in the deathly silent night like a cemetery, and they were like moths fighting a fire, revealing arrogant and disdainful smiles as they provoked the enemy.
Even Qin Lun and Grant felt an electric current surge through their hearts as they looked at the faint light. Everywhere they passed, it was blazing hot.
Grant tore open the front of his uniform, revealing his strong chest. He stood side by side with Qin Lun on the slope of the crusaders’ bunker in front of the manor.
“Qin Lun, you’re right. That woman named Intergula is indeed top-notch. I like her!” Clown smiled sinisterly as he looked at the manor. Scarlet blood slowly appeared in his eyes.
“Grant, be careful. There isn’t a strong aura in the manor, but I don’t think it will go so smoothly!” Qin Lun grinned, his white teeth flashing with a cold light in the night.
“This trip is indeed correct. I like to chase after this kind of stubborn prey the most. The expression of despair after my expectations are shattered is the best!” Grant raised his head and took a deep breath. His shoulders trembled slightly, and his expression was like that of a drug addict.
“Be careful!” Qin Lun smiled gently. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He pushed Grant and jumped down from the bunker.
“Boom!” A slender black shadow stabbed into the ground beneath Qin Lun and the other two’s feet just now, followed by a violent explosion. The makeshift slope of the bunker instantly shattered into pieces. Gravel flew everywhere and more than half of it disappeared in an instant.
“Crossbows? No, those arrows … are modern alloy bows!” Qin Lun recalled the items that had appeared in his perception earlier and raised his eyebrows. “Intergula and the Samsara who protected Apostle should have left. So the attack just now was a super-human plot?”
In this era, there were actually people who used bows and arrows on the battlefield? Qin Lun took out the Ayala Armament Sheath and waved his hands, grabbing the Ayala longbow that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings. “Ha ha, interesting, then I’ll play with you!” Qin Lun took out the Ayala Armament Sheath and grabbed it.
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock Just as Qin Lun and Grant stood up and wanted to launch a counterattack, a series of continuous firecrackers sounded from the depths of the manor. However, this sound was somewhat dull, rather like a dull war drum.
“This kind of sound, this kind of frequency … anti-aircraft cannon?” Grant’s pupils instantly dilated. Without hesitation, he shouted loudly. He raised his arms high, and his thick triceps bulged high, slapping heavily on the Crusader Shelter in front of the manor.
“Bang!” The ground trembled violently, and a special armor plate the size of a round table left behind by the Crusaders jumped up like a wall in front of the two of them.
“Bang bang bang bang!” Unexpectedly, the hard armor plate did not block the cannonballs of the cannonballs. The five-centimeter thick steel armor was pierced through and shattered. Qin Lun was able to hide in time, but Grant was a bit miserable. He was hit by a 30 mm cannonball at his waist, and his upper and lower body were directly split into two. His shattered organs were smeared all over the ground.
“The anti-aircraft cannon doesn’t have this kind of penetrating power. This is a small caliber cannon using steel core armor!” Looking at the several bowl-sized holes on the deck, the corner of Qin Lun’s mouth twitched slightly. It was a bit embarrassing for someone to give him a big gift before he even started attacking.
The shelling did not stop just by destroying the armor plate. Instead, it used even more intense artillery fire to accurately sweep through the bunker where the two were hiding, as if it was not a powerful cannon, but a light machine gun that could not run out of ammunition.
“Earth wall!” Qin Lun rolled awkwardly a few times. Finally, his expression sank. His right hand, which was wearing sacrificial gloves, slapped the ground and raised a strong earth wall that was as thick as a meter. Only then did he stop the cannon fire from chasing after him.
“Swoosh!” As soon as the earth wall was raised, two slender black metal arrows were nailed to it.
The concentrated explosive on the arrow exploded. The Sixth Grade Earth Wall began to collapse in just a few seconds under the combined attacks of the cannons and the explosive metal arrows. This kind of attack surprised Qin Lun slightly.
“Qin Lun, cover me. Leave that gunner to me. Go deal with the other one!” Grant’s deep voice sounded in Qin Lun’s ears. Turning around, he saw countless slender granulation buds wriggling in his upper and lower body, connecting the two parts of his body again.
Clown was clearly enraged by the bombardment. He had put on his human skin mask and slowly sat up from the ground.
“Alright!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and answered.
The recoil of the cannon is very strong, even in a small caliber of 30 mm. There were only two possibilities for him to fire a series of shots like a light machine gun. One is a fully automated high-tech fire control system, and the other is a manual operation that completely ignores recoil.
The former was simply impossible in its current state. The HELLSING headquarters had already been covered by several waves of Crusader fire, so how could any sophisticated fire control equipment survive? The latter was definitely operated by a superhuman skilled in artillery. This type of superhuman, whose physical strength and stamina were different from those of normal superhumans, was the most troublesome type. Qin Lun was very happy to leave it to Clown to deal with.
“Hey, Grant, control yourself. The battle has just begun. I don’t want to bring a burden with me later!” Qin Lun glanced at the human skin mask on Clown’s face and instructed softly.
“I know!” Grant responded in a deep voice. He jumped up abruptly and jumped over the broken earth wall. His body almost pressed against the ground as he rushed towards the manor.
As soon as he rushed out of the bunker, the two superhumans in the manor seemed to have discovered traces of the small-caliber cannon shells that were dragging fluorescence towards him like whips. The black metal arrows with high concentrated explosives even hid behind the light chain of the cannonball, and from time to time, like poisonous snakes, they flashed out with deadly fangs.
“It won’t be that easy this time!” Qin Lun took a deep breath and stood up with a smile on his face. Without any hesitation, he exposed himself to the cannon fire, tilted his head, and gracefully pulled away the Ayala longbow in his hand.
