Chapter 373: Chapter 373 – American 25th Infantry Division? What the hell is that?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
This was the emblem of the American 25th Infantry Division, also known as ‘Tropic Lightning’.
Although Wei Xiao Bei was not a master on the subject, he could at the very least recall some of the specifics of the unit.
After seeing them, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but frown.
The Tropic Lightning was a military unit sent by America to a foreign nation and although they had contributed to many meritorious services, their reputation was not that good. It was said that they would massacre ordinary citizens during wars.
Naturally, these were not important points.
Shouldn’t they be stationed in Hawaii?
How did they get here?
In his moment of amazement, the battle in front of him continued to heat up.
Hundreds of soldiers scattered everywhere, accompanied by more than ten armored vehicles, firing at the monsters with their mortars. Just from seeing the ruined armored cars, it was easy to tell that the army was suffering a crushing defeat.
Although there were three helicopters flying above and giving the soldiers support from above, the helicopters were also helpless in the air.
There were two Yongs, a Sacred Beetle, and more than ten fire crows fighting with the soldiers
Just when Wei Xiao Bei reached the battle, the soldiers’ achievements were killing more than twenty fire crows.
The corpses of the fire crows on the ground had their fires extinguished and flesh shredded to pieces by the bullets.
Additionally, the two Yongs had also been injured. One had its legs blown off, both were riddled with bullet holes, and all their feathers had been blasted off. However, these two Yongs would chase after the helicopters in the sky, and then dive into the sand and eat up the soldiers.
The success of the monsters was much greater than that of the army.
They had ruined seven armored vehicles, more than ten mortars, and even one helicopter that was still emitting smoke. As for soldiers, they had probably killed more than fifty people.
This was something Wei Xiao Bei calculated based on the number of rifles, armored cars, and helicopter ruins in the sand.
As for the corpses, the majority should have been eaten by the monsters.
The Sacred Beetle was moving around like a kite, as though it was being held by the soldiers. Whoever shot the last bullet, the Sacred Beetle would chase in their direction.
The soldiers were beginning to learn though, and they were much more shrewd in dealing with it. When they saw that the Sacred Beetle was charging at a soldier, the soldier would stop shooting and another person would open fire to attract its attention.
Just like that, the Sacred Beetle kept continuously circling the battlefield.
Although the Sacred Beetle’s carapace was incredibly hard, it was still injured from the constant barrage of artillery shells.
If there were no other monster disturbing the battle and the soldiers had adequate ammunition, there was a huge chance that the Sacred Beetle would be played with till death by the soldiers.
However, the problem was that the Yongs and Fire Crows would not stand by idly. Their attacks created fear in the hearts of the soldiers, making them afraid of being their next target.
The soldiers there should be the size of a single barrack.
Studying the situation, it was clear that the soldiers could continue but wouldn’t last long. After all, their ammunition appeared to have decreased quite a lot.
After careful analysis, Wei Xiao Bei circled the battlefield and got behind the soldiers. Then he took the chance while a soldier was not paying attention to snatch him and drag the soldier away while covering his mouth to prevent him from uttering a sound.
This was a hard chance to come by. Wei Xiao Bei was naturally unwilling to let go of the chance to see how these soldiers were entering the Dust World.
After bringing the soldier to a sand dune, Wei Xiao Bei threw him to the ground.
The soldier that had been abducted was so startled that he began trembling.
In the eyes of the soldier, he had been caught by a monster and could only wait for his end. The first possibility was he was torn to shreds and eaten, while the second was to be eaten whole.
God! What kind of terrifying situation is this?
However, the soldier never imagined that he would not be eaten and instead be tossed on the ground. After taking a look, he saw that it was an Asian man that had dragged and abducted him.
“What are you doing?”
The soldier held his carbine rifle tighter as he asked aggressively. Luckily, he did not throw away his weapons when he was struggling, allowing him to gain back a bit of confidence.
No matter who it was, any enemy would be killed with his weapon, causing his boldness to be quickly reinforced.
When he saw that Wei Xiao Bei did not have any weapons at hand and was smaller than himself, he became calmer.
As for the reason why Wei Xiao Bei was able to drag him away and he could not struggle free, he thought of a good explanation for it.
He had been too concentrated on the battle causing him to be open to an ambush from behind. Moreover, even if the other side was stronger, he should not be able to fight against a gun.
“I am not doing anything. I just want to ask questions.”
Wei Xiao Bei spoke in fluent English that was so good that even the soldier could not detect an Asian accent.
“Questions? Don’t move!”
How could the solider even care about Wei Xiao Bei’s question? He was burning with anxiety to return back to battle and pulled out a pair of cuffs from his backpack, planning to cuff Wei Xiao Bei.
It must be known that everything that he had seen upon entering this place was too strange!
Now that he had found someone who could explain the situation, he must bring the person back!
Wei Xiao Bei smiled and lightly pushed the soldier, causing him to instantly sit down on the ground.
There was no doubt that the soldier was incredibly angry. In his eyes, he was the one who had the gun and therefore he was the one who should be overbearing and hold the power of life and death over Wei Xiao Bei, it shouldn’t be him being easily pushed to the ground.
Bang!
The sand in front of Wei Xiao Bei flew as the soldier opened fire. The soldier planned to use this method to threaten Wei Xiao Bei and make him surrender.
If firing a gun on the ground in front of Wei Xiao Bei was enough to make him surrender, then Leng Xin Xing’s death would not do him justice. He not only fired the gun, but he also fired it at Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei smiled. He felt that if he wanted some answers from the soldier he would need to break his will.
He was unwilling to waste a [Law Intimidation] on the soldier, so he would need to find a different method.
Wei Xiao Bei stepped forward. Before the soldier was able to respond, he noticed that the muzzle of his gun had been held by the Asian man. What made him puzzled was that the Asian man had placed the muzzle on his own chest and told him, “Hey partner. You must aim properly when firing a gun. If it’s like this, you should not be able to miss anymore right?”
Damn it!
Is this Asian an idiot? Or maybe he had gone crazy?
Would a normal person move the muzzle of a gun to their chest?
He must have been scared senseless!
Seeing that the soldier did not fire, he used his left hand to touch the soldier’s finger that was holding on the trigger. As the soldier tried to move his hand, he noticed that his hand would not listen to him as he did not have the strength to resist.
This bastard has gone crazy!
Bang!
As the gun fired, the soldier quiveringly closed his eyes.
For him, this was the first time shooting a stranger from up close.
However, when the soldier opened his eyes, he was surprised to see that Wei Xiao Bei was still standing in front of him.
“Oh my God! How is this possible? This is impossible! How are you still standing! You should already be a corpse!”
The soldier began to babble incoherently.
Wei Xiao Bei moved the muzzle away to reveal the damage. On his chest, there was a black hole where the bullet was embedded.
With a slight movement in his chest, the bullet immediately fell on the ground.
The soldier could not believe his eyes as he remained speechless.
Could a human chest really block a bullet? A bullet from an M4A1!?
This is impossible. There must be something wrong with my eyes!
The soldier rubbed his eyes and looked again. Just like that, he thought that Wei Xiao Bei was invulnerable!
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was let off lightly by allowing the gun to fire at his chest. The muscles in his chest were the toughest among all. Moreover, the cosmic energy that he let out reduced the power behind the bullet, preventing the bullet from piercing his body.
However, if Wei Xiao Bei did not pay attention to the bullet, it would not have this kind of shocking effect.
After all, the bullet of a rifle and the bullet of a handgun had different power behind them.
“Speak, how did you come in here? Tell me everything you know! Otherwise, you will end up like this gun.
As he said so, he took the gun from the soldier and used his hands to twist the gun. Then the gun became twisted with white lines showing, crushing the soldier’s confidence along with it.
“See. Doesn’t this look like abstract art that came out a furnace? Perhaps you could name it ‘die if you don’t speak’?”
Wei Xiao Bei spoke with malice and smiled at the soldier.
As the soldier looked at the gun that was continuously changing shape, his legs weakened and could not stay standing anymore.
Very quickly, Wei Xiao Bei made the soldier tell him all he knew. If Wei Xiao Bei had not prevented it, the soldier might have even told his story of peeking into a girl’s bath when he was seven.
Although the soldier was frightened to the point of being unable to form coherent sentences, there was no doubt that Wei Xiao Bei still gained some information.
First, he had confirmed that every single soldier fighting in battle was part of America’s 25th Infantry Division and not monsters of the Dust World.
