Chapter 677 - Irresistible Force

Chapter 677: Irresistible Force (Part One)

These soldiers had fought their way through while drenched in blood to be where they were today; dying on the battlefield was not scary for them, and no matter how many of them Xu Cheng slaughtered, there would be more to come after. Thus, creating fear was the only way to fight them.
He wanted to make them unnerved and afraid of this land, so when the soldiers headed back, the horror story in the Land of Mercenaries would spread in the country. They would then fear this land, since rumors would spread that the people that came here would lose their minds and shoot at their own people.
No matter how much someone trusted their own comrades, once they stepped onto this land, they would no longer have that trust. By then, no matter how many troops they sent in, it would be pointless. The gap of trust was already there, and as long as they just killed a few soldiers, the others would be reminded of rumors and immediately abandon their equipment to run back to their country.
It had to be said that Xu Cheng certainly put some thought into this.
However, he was not intending to be merciful tonight. He would leave a few people alive, but not too many. The massacre had just begun.
After Xu Cheng left the tactical department, there was already chaos erupting outside.
Soldiers were all over the place; some were heading this way while others were heading outside to deal with the corpses of the four units attacked by the tank.
Xu Cheng walked in the darkness and no one could see him.
A soldier carrying a gun ran past him, and Xu Cheng suddenly grabbed hold of his gun tightly and burst fired at the other soldiers running beside him, killing five or six of them in total.
Then Xu Cheng walked away, and when the soldier reacted to the fact that he was somehow under control, other soldiers were already shooting at him without giving him a chance to speak and explain.
Xu Cheng was having a good time.
He was like a clown who was doing all the evil, and he had become addicted to his new role as a deceitful person unconsciously; to manipulate someone’s life and death, to save someone or kill someone without them knowing! If they didn’t mess with him, then he would let them go free, but if they did, then he would be the death of them.
Everywhere he went, he was either pulling grenade pins or grabbing someone else’s gun and shooting at their own people. The entire barracks was full of soldiers committing suicide by grenades or shooting themselves in the head after killing off their own people.
In short, it was chaos.
Crazy!
Everyone was crazy tonight.
Meanwhile, Xu Cheng was getting more and more handy.
He picked up a gun and took out a few soldiers in the darkness, but when someone looked in that direction, no one would be there.
Yet the soldiers who had fallen onto the ground were in fact dead and not breathing anymore.
Those soldiers who were still alive were somewhat broken and shaken inside, and they even developed a distrust of their own comrades. They gripped their guns tightly, wary of their comrades around them who might shoot at them from behind. No one wanted to leave their backs to their own people at this time.
Xu Cheng mischievously fired a shot towards the sky in the darkness.

Pang!

Those soldiers who heard the gunshot soon went into self-defence, and some even aimed at their own people in case they were the first to strike.
Some were thinking too much, but there were still sensible ones.
The sensible ones who were being pointed at by their own people waved their hands and said nervously,
Take it easy.

The tense soldiers gulped down their saliva and put down their guns.
But then, Xu Cheng fired some shots at another few soldiers.
A few more soldiers died on the spot, and those tense soldiers who were already panicking couldn’t stand it anymore as they rushed to the cars, intending to leave this weird place.
In an instant, no one wanted to stay behind, and they all went to look for vehicles so they could escape from here.
But Xu Cheng would not let them escape at all as he ran out of the base camp, took control of tank No. 1 from earlier, and fired a gun towards the few pickup trucks that were driving away.
Boom!
Three pickup trucks were blown away with their tires falling and rolling onto the ground.
The tank then aimed at the gate and fired shots non-stop.

Sht! Isn’t that guy in the tank dead?!


He was dead, and we took out his body, chief!


Bullsht! Then who’s controlling the tank now?

As soon as he said that, the already frightened soldiers felt numbness on their scalps, and none of them wanted to ask if it was a ghost or not!

I don’t believe it. Listen people, this must all be someone’s plan. We’re all soldiers and atheists! We’ve been at war all these years and have killed more people than we can count. If there really are gods and demons in the world, then we’d be in hell already. Follow me to that tank, I’m sure there’s someone in there!

That was when a rational soldier stepped up and reassured his comrades.
Yes, there always had to be somebody who stood up in times of trouble, and the M Nation had always been fond of heroism. He wanted to be that somebody!
At this point, all the soldiers wanted to know the truth, and since they were all atheists, they wanted to know even more. They didn’t believe that there were really gods nor demons in this world, to die like this would be an insult, and they would rather die in a battlefield fighting elite soldiers than to die here without knowing who they were up against.
There were currently more than thirty soldiers who were still alive hiding safely in the dim places, and they then looked at each other when they heard someone suggest this option.
They came out of the shelled hole and surrounded the tank that was firing.
They must find out who this damned culprit was to stabilize the morale of the rest of the troops.
Xu Cheng opened the hood and leapt out after firing the last shot, and since he was invisible, no one saw when he got out. The remaining thirty soldiers surrounded the tank and climbed up, shooting to see if there was anyone inside.
Once they fired a full barrage of rounds, someone poked his head in to see what was going on inside, and he froze on the spot.
Seeing the look of fear on his face, someone pulled him away and looked in there himself.
Then he had the same shocked look.

Is there anyone inside?
those who were anxious to know the truth asked quickly.
The two soldiers who had seen the inside of the tank shook their heads with blank stares.
That was when tank No. 4 suddenly fired a shot at where they were!
A dozen or so soldiers were blown right up on the spot.
The remaining few ran behind the tank for cover, but they still didn’t want to give up.

Should we check it out or not?
someone asked.
A few of them gritted their teeth.
I still don’t believe it. I’ll look! Then we will avenge the other brothers!

The remaining dozen or so soldiers had the same opinion as they went in two directions to surround tank No. 4.
But when they looked inside the tank, they started to doubt whether this world was real or not.
Later, whenever they recalled that night, they would have a hard time calming down. In their autobiographies, the Land of Mercenaries became the single most feared battlefield, not because of how strong their opponents were, but because there were no opponents at all. They were up against strange supernatural events that could not be explained!
