324: Chapter 324 A hail of bullets? Human tanks!
This was no longer a battle that ordinary combatants could participate in.
Those soldiers wielding firearms could not lock onto Lin Xiao's figure at all.
The Level 4 set, "deep sea aria", was fully activated under the infiltration of water elements.
Among its features, the first trait, "Tidal Affinity," increased his movement speed by 20%!
Combined with his other passive skills, he was so fast that he only left behind a pale blue afterimage.
Lin Xiao ignored those cannon fodder soldiers.
Taking them out one by one with his axe was too time-consuming.
He had only one target now, and that was the ruler of the Silver-White Train!
After the Silver-White Train landed, the doors of the various carriages opened one after another, but only the carriage at the very front remained closed.
As for who exactly was hiding inside, one didn't need to guess to know.
Capture the bandits by capturing their leader first!
Lin Xiao's gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, firmly locked onto the direction of the Silver-White Train's command room.
He stepped onto the top of the carriages and dashed forward at an extremely high speed.
But just at this moment, an extremely powerful surge of energy erupted from behind him.
Behind him?
Lin Xiao's pupils contracted sharply.
Almost the instant he sensed danger, he spun around violently, only to discover a man dressed in a pitch-black military uniform appearing a few meters behind him, though he had no idea when the man had arrived.
The man looked very young, with fair skin and delicate features.
But the ruthlessness and madness surging within those eyes made alarm bells ring in one's heart.
In his hand, he held what looked like an ordinary submachine gun.
Teleportation?
Or some kind of high-speed displacement skill?
Lin Xiao had no time to overthink it; he immediately raised the "terminator" in front of him and activated the "Coordinated Combat" trait.
According to his calculations, even enchanted bullets would struggle to deal effective damage after the damage was distributed.
However, the next second, the man in the black military uniform pulled the trigger.
"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"
The submachine gun's rate of fire was very fast.
Lin Xiao knew this; he wasn't some novice who had never touched a gun before.
But wasn't the submachine gun in the black-uniformed man's hand a bit too monstrous?
The tongues of fire spewing from the muzzle almost merged into a sheet of incandescent light, and countless bullets, trailing crimson ballistic streaks, poured onto the broad axe face of the "terminator" like a metal storm.
Is this the rate of fire a submachine gun should have?
Moreover, it wasn't just the high rate of fire; the kinetic energy of every single bullet far exceeded expectations.
It was evident that its enchantment level was very high!
Lin Xiao's arms jolted violently, and he couldn't stop himself from sliding backward.
Under the rain-like barrage, the axe face emitted a dense, ear-piercing metallic clanging sound.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the opponent was carrying a Type 1130 close-in weapon system!
Lin Xiao was forced to retreat continuously by the barrage.
His expression also began to turn grave.
To be able to unleash this level of power from an ordinary firearm meant that either the equipment was heaven-defying or the skill was monstrous.
And looking at the black-uniformed man's composed face, it was highly likely to be the latter.
Passive defense was not Lin Xiao's style.
He made a gripping motion with his left hand, and a bolt of shadow energy shot from his palm, precisely coiling around Train Captain Baili Wuchen's neck and yanking him over violently.
The moment the distance closed, he was finally able to view the opponent's information panel.
"[Train Captain Baili Wuchen]"
Ruler of the Silver-White Train.
"Got you!"
The muscles in Lin Xiao's right arm bulged, and the "terminator" swung down toward Train Captain Baili Wuchen's head with a whistling gale of pressure.
However, as the axe blade fell, it only passed through empty air.
Train Captain Baili Wuchen's figure vanished into thin air before him, as if he had never existed.
This didn't seem like teleportation, but rather something more like a spatial displacement ability.
Just in that second of hesitation, a searing pain came from his back.
Train Captain Baili Wuchen had appeared about ten meters behind him.
In his hand, he held that micro-submachine gun.
The muzzle was frantically spewing enchanted bullets with armor-piercing effects.
The bullets struck the back armor of the "deep sea aria," setting off a series of blinding sparks.
"Is that all?"
Train Captain Baili Wuchen let out a disdainful chuckle, his voice carrying a condescending arrogance. "I thought someone who could break into these ruins would be some remarkable character, but now it seems that a mouse stealing food will always just be a mouse!"
As his words faded, he raised his hand and waved.
The micro-submachine gun flew out of his hand and hovered in front of him.
The gun body trembled slightly, and its surface shifted with strange, eerie lights.
Immediately after, one turned into two, two turned into four...
In just a few seconds, sixteen firearms were hovering in front of him.
Submachine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, light machine guns... they almost encompassed every type of individual firearm.
The surface of every gun shimmered with different colored lights.
These were all enchanted.
Lin Xiao watched this scene from afar, his gaze darkening slightly.
This kid's ability was quite troublesome.
Not only did he possess spatial displacement and the ability to manifest firearms out of thin air, but he also used enchanted bullets to create a covering fire net, making him almost a crushing presence at medium-to-close range.
Furthermore, those few shots that hit his back earlier still had the special energy attached to the bullet heads burning through his armor's durability.
He knew better than anyone the value of enchanted bullets.
Even he himself would feel a pang of pain if he fired a hundred or so rounds.
But this guy named Train Captain Baili Wuchen just held the triggers down to the floor, firing bullets like he was splashing water.
His financial resources, or rather his accumulation, were not just ordinarily deep!
Without waiting for Lin Xiao to continue thinking, Train Captain Baili Wuchen launched another attack.
All sixteen firearms pulled their triggers on their own simultaneously.
Tongues of fire intertwined, and the barrage of bullets formed a wall.
Sniper rounds tore through the air, shotgun pellets blocked his movement, and machine gun rounds provided frantic suppression.
The dense web of firepower covered almost every space for evasion.
Bullets pierced through Lin Xiao's chest armor, shattered his face mask, and tore through his neck guard.
The durability of the "deep sea aria" dropped from full to rock bottom within seconds, completely destroyed.
However, just as those Silver-White Train soldiers who witnessed this scene thought the victor had been decided, they saw Lin Xiao slowly lift his head.
He had a smile on his face.
At the same time, his eyes turned blood-red.
Train Captain Baili Wuchen's attack had not caused any substantial damage to Lin Xiao.
Those bullets striking Lin Xiao's exposed skin only left behind shallow white marks.
The deformed bullet heads clattered onto the ground.
How is this possible?
Train Captain Baili Wuchen stopped his suppressive fire, and the look of composure on his face vanished instantly.
This guy opposite him, with such a hard body, is he even human?
Lin Xiao did not give the opponent time to react.
He pushed off with his feet, his entire body turning into a crimson afterimage, appearing at Train Captain Baili Wuchen's side as if teleporting.
The "terminator" swept horizontally across his waist, the axe blade carving out an arc like a blood moon.
Train Captain Baili Wuchen's face showed shock, and he hurriedly activated a displacement skill, barely dodging the axe.
However, the cuff of his military uniform was brushed by the axe's wind, and the entire sleeve was torn into shreds.
The two of them widened the distance between them again.
Lin Xiao did not pursue, instead working his neck, which emitted a crisp cracking sound.
Under the enhancement of the "Undying" potion, his base constitution attribute had already reached 72 points.
Added with his equipment and the 2% boost from the fourth trait of the "deep sea aria," his current constitution was a full 111 points.
This was already a terrifying value.
His various bodily functions were equivalent to 22 times those of an ordinary person.
Of course, this alone wouldn't be enough to block enchanted bullets.
But what if you added the 65% damage reduction stacked from "Berserk" and the Bond effect?
With the high constitution attribute and the stacking damage reduction effects, Lin Xiao was equivalent to a human tank.
Those enchanted bullets hitting him couldn't even break his skin.
"You're right."
Lin Xiao looked at Train Captain Baili Wuchen, his tone calm.
"Your ability is indeed very strong; such a level of covering fire is almost unsolvable in conventional combat."
He paused, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"It's just a pity that you ran into me!"
