The ability of body hardening is something that only those who have a certain level of proficiency in the art of the fortress chain can master. As seen with Zheng Zaishun, when an Evolver uses this ability, their body surface becomes extremely tough, greatly enhancing their defense.
The standard rate of fire for the K5 is 20 to 30 rounds per minute, and thirty cybernetic infantrymen can fire over 600 rounds in a minute. The high-speed rotary machine gun mounted on the back of that half-mechanical flesh giant has a rate of fire that can exceed 1,000 rounds per minute.
Such firepower is not something the human body can withstand. Even a master who has activated the genetic lock can only be torn apart in the face of such a metal storm. Take Qian Long as an example, as an evolute who develops the pivotal chain, he can indeed resist a cannon with a psychic shield. However, his pure physical body is also very fragile, and being hit by twenty K5 high-caliber bullets would injure him. If it were replaced with a high-speed rotary machine gun, he would likely be killed on the spot after being swept for two or three seconds.
However, evolvers possess not only their physical bodies but also their abilities.
With the hardening of his body surface, Zheng Zaishun's ability to resist bullets is obviously greatly enhanced. Moreover, after the development of the tough wall chain, the skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs will have a significant increase in their resistance to injury. In addition, he is not standing still as a target. While running forward, he is also moving left and right. Those half-mechanical beings and flesh giants are far from a sharpshooter and cannot guarantee a high hit rate.
All these things together make the firepower poured out by those mechanical creatures not so terrifying for Zheng Zaishun.
The clothes he was wearing on the outside were shot to pieces at the very beginning, but the metal bullets hitting his body surface, as if hitting a lump of iron, the bullets could not penetrate the body no matter what. There were many pits and some places were still blood-stained, but the injuries were still within an acceptable range.
With his arm shielding his eyes, Zheng Zaishun had charged forward for half a minute, closing a significant amount of distance. By his own estimation, under such firepower, he could only hold on for a maximum of one minute.
"It's time!" he shouted.
Wells and Wilde also rushed out from behind the cover, while behind the cover, those demon hunters, travelers, and all the militia forces also stood up, beginning to fire at the cybernetic creatures to provide cover for Wilde and Wells.
The cybernetic creatures suffered some losses, but they also quickly reacted, as bullets were no longer mindlessly poured towards Zheng Zaishun, but instead started to shift targets, preparing to shoot at Wells, Wilde, and those militia forces behind the defense line.
Evolvers of the Fortified Chain have always been the backbone of a team. Zheng Zaishun, who was always at the forefront, could not possibly allow the firepower from the cybernetic creatures to so easily bypass him.
The distance was close enough now. He stomped his foot down, and a shockwave spread rapidly from under his foot. Apart from the flesh giant, all other cybernetic infantry staggered and fell under this vibration.
However, the flesh giant was still there. The automatic grenade launcher on its back was the most significant firepower among these cybernetic creatures.
At this moment, Li Wei and his companions also struck!
Taking the initiative were Bandit's flaming arrows and Cai Yutong's energy gun.
The flaming arrow struck the flesh giant, causing it to stumble and the barrel of the automatic grenade launcher to shake and rise. Then, Cai Yutong's energy gun arrived, but its impact was slightly weaker than that of the flaming arrow and failed to cause significant damage to the enemy.
The brain of the flesh giant apparently doesn't work too well. After regaining his balance, he did not continue to use heavy firepower to suppress the charge of Zheng Zaishun, Wells, and Wilde, but instead turned his head, intending to observe who had just attacked him.
With this turn of his head, he saw Li Wei rushing towards him.
Between him and Li Wei, there were still a considerable number of cyborgs and about ten cyborg hounds. But these things were no obstacle, as Li Wei shot and blew the head off a cyborg who had just turned around with the intention of shooting at him, then, with a single knife blow, killed a hound that was approaching him.
Having suffered from Zheng Zaishun's wave of assault, there were not many people who could respond in time to Li Wei's ambush from behind.
If they could all play their respective roles, Li Wei alone would not be able to handle all the distractions, but his teammates behind him were supportive enough.
Qian Long, who specializes in the pivot of the energy chain, is using his telekinesis to escort and protect Li Wei!
A mini telekinetic barrier is wrapped outside Li Wei's body; if firearms do not have strong firepower, they are basically unable to break through. Meanwhile, telekinetic waves are also precisely targeting and striking half-mechanical hounds rushing towards Li Wei, blocking their approach.
With Qian Long's help, Li Wei can basically charge towards the half-mechanized flesh giant without any hindrance!
The flesh giant turns to face Li Wei and moves its hand, intending to pull the chain switch behind it that activates the rotary machine gun, but how could Li Wei possibly allow it to succeed?
Pointing the gun to the front, the gyutto of the Sharingan madly rotates, with insight power reaching its peak, Li Wei pulls the trigger.
A bullet struck the connection point between the rotary machine gun and the back armor of that giant of flesh and blood. With a "clang" sound, the connection point was actually snapped off by Livy's shot!
The rotary machine gun, which had just started to rotate and was ready to fire, went out of control. One of the two connection points being snapped caused the machine gun unable to continue to be fixed, and its barrel fell down!
Banderie, who saw this scene, almost dropped his eyes out!
He asked himself, even he himself cannot make it happen!
A connection point, at most a rivet size, is hidden beneath the various structures of the machine gun and back armor, making it not easy to find and see, let alone hit it at a distance of twenty or thirty meters? It's too difficult, right?
Moreover, how could he directly break the connection point by shooting, even if he did hit it?
Livy only had secondary piercing bullets! No, not second-tier bullets, you need some top-tier piercing bullets to make it possible, right?
No wonder, Li Wei dared to lead the charge. If the flesh giant's machine gun fire really came up, even with a telekinetic shield in front of him, he might not necessarily be able to hold out. After all, Qian Long's telekinesis becomes harder to maintain its shape and provide defense the further it is from him.
He is growing increasingly admiring of Li Wei.
