Chapter 253 Bomb Disposal Expert
"Da da da da da!!!"
Gunfire was deafening, and the sounds of explosions and shattering debris blended together, causing the entire warehouse floor to tremble under the roar of the heavy machine guns.
Nightingale huddled in the corner of the shelf, reloading her Glock with magic bullets.
Failed!
We shouldn't have let Hyacinth break in so easily. We were completely clueless about Heart Moon Fox's arrangements, which meant we had stepped right into her pre-set trap.
...But it's not actually that bad?
The nightingale tentatively peeked out.
Hyacinth was being chased by Cheshire Rabbit, who was carrying a heavy machine gun. Although the bullets formed by magic could not penetrate her thick magic defense, the occasional stray bullets that hit her still made her scream in pain.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha!!"
"Run away, hyacinth! Run away quickly!!"
"If you run too slow... you'll be riddled with bullets...!"
Amidst Cheshire Rabbit's unrestrained laughter, Nightingale silently withdrew her head, unable to bear watching Hyacinth get beaten up.
The difference in firepower between the two sides is too obvious.
Although they are all fired with magic bullets, this is essentially using the gun as a magic wand, and the type of gun directly determines the power of the bullets that can be fired.
The Vector submachine gun that Hyacinth had given her was nowhere near as good as the 12.7mm heavy machine gun in Cheshire Rabbit's hands.
...What if it's a hellcat?
The nightingale tried again to peek out to find the location of the hellcat and the iris.
From the very beginning, Hellcat Cheshire Rabbit had a clear division of labor: heavy firepower to suppress Hyacinth, the strongest firepower on her side, while Hellcat made full use of her tactical agility to pursue Iris.
"...!"
"Da da da da da!!"
Iris peeked out from the corner, ready to retaliate, but was immediately spotted by Hellcat, who had been waiting with its guns set up. The tidal wave of automatic rifle fire instantly overwhelmed Iris's position, forcing her back to cover.
Actually, Iris Flower's firepower is quite fierce. Her sidearm is a .50 AE Desert Eagle, but she doesn't seem to be used to such a small weapon.
You could tell from the way she was being relentlessly suppressed by Hellcats.
The nightingale continued to tuck its head back into its shelter, and couldn't help but contemplate the meaning of life.
If this is Xin Yuehu's FPS playground, then the three of them probably ran into a BOSS battle right from the start.
...But why are they only attacking the hyacinths and irises, and no one is paying attention to my side at all? Is it because my presence is too insignificant?
Nightingale felt uneasy, and couldn't help but think of what Heart Moon Fox had said about the "traitor".
According to what Shingetsuko said in the trailer, there is an informant disguised as her familiar in the magical girl team. Does this mean that Shingetsuko had a complete view of everyone's plans, which is why she set up this ambush in advance?
But the most important thing right now is to get out of here as soon as possible! Don't worry about these things!
Thinking of this, Nightingale reached into her heavy handbag, pulled out a smoke grenade, unzipped it, and shouted loudly in the direction of Hyacinth and the other person:
"Hyacinths! Irises! Use smoke as cover and evacuate immediately!"
The smoke bomb landed at Cheshire Rabbit's feet, and before she could react, the thick smoke instantly obscured her vision.
The heavy machine gun lost its aim, and the three men, who were pinned down by the heavy firepower, immediately seized the opportunity to retreat from the warehouse, not forgetting to put another smoke grenade at the door.
……
Hyacinth leaned against the wall of the mall office, panting as she replenished the magic power in her weapon.
"This is terrifying! Where did Xin Yuehu and the others get all this weaponry?"
"Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if Xin Yuehu pulled something out," Iris sighed helplessly.
The girl looked down at the silver Desert Eagle in her hand.
...It doesn't feel as exciting as Magical Cannon, but it's at least more powerful than Hyacinth's Glock.
"Yeah, heaven knows what got into her this time, causing this whole mess."
Hyacinth frowned as she looked at her clothes, which were covered in wounds. She used her magic to heal and repair them while also treating several abrasions.
Fortunately, Heart Moon Fox didn't forbid her from using even the most basic magic healing, probably for their own convenience, Hyacinth thought.
Xin Yuehu has always been looking for ways to have fun, but this time she just happened to find something like gun shooting, which is why she dragged so many people to her shooting playground.
It's hard to tell what she's really thinking, even this time...
...No, how could I possibly put myself in that golden fox's line of thinking!
She's a complete scoundrel; you absolutely can't try to see things from her perspective! We must firmly stop her from continuing this lawless and disruptive behavior in Hong Kong!
Hyacinth angrily withdrew its magic, chambered its submachine gun, and said:
"We need to find a way to avoid direct conflict with them; their firepower is too strong."
"Moreover, our mission is to find the node of her bomb barrier and dismantle it as soon as possible; we can't afford to waste too much time."
Nightingale repeated the purpose of the mission, but the three of them exchanged glances, none of them daring to say they could complete the mission under the heavy firepower they had just faced.
"But in confined spaces, the Cheshire Rabbit's heavy firepower isn't very effective," Hyacinth said, expressing her thoughts.
After all, the size of a heavy machine gun makes it incredibly effective in relatively open terrain like a warehouse, but it's not so useful in a complex indoor corridor.
But where exactly will that bomb barrier be placed...?
Office floor? Restaurant floor? Or the lobby on the first floor?
Hyacinth recalled her perception of the surrounding magic as she ran to the warehouse level, and concluded that the barrier node was most likely in the basement or underground parking lot.
That location, closest to the underground magic ley lines, is the most suitable to serve as an outer magic node!
"Let's go investigate the parking lot; her bomb barrier might be set up there!"
Hyacinth got up and did it without hesitation.
Just as the three of them were about to leave and head towards the stairwell, Iris suddenly saw a strange thin line flash in her vision. She quickly grabbed Hyacinth, who was trying to go forward, and stopped her from moving forward.
Watch your step!
"?!"
Hyacinth was startled and looked down.
A thin fishing line lay across the corridor; it was easy to miss if you weren't looking closely.
And in the corner of the wall that it extends into... a grenade with its pull ring caught on a fishing line was stuck to the corner!
"Trapping a mine."
Hyacinth murmured the name of the trap, her heart suddenly racing.
It wasn't the lingering fear of almost being ambushed, but rather the sight of that deep blue figure at the far end of the corridor:
The Hellcat, dressed in tactical gear, leaned against the wall, smiling at itself and making a shushing gesture.
Like a deadly hunter eyeing its prey.
"Go through stairwell number two! Quickly!"
Nan Xiaofeng immediately made arrangements, raised his gun and fired. A burst of magic bullets hit the wall that Hellcat was leaning against, but failed to hit the catgirl who had retreated to cover in time.
Fortunately, this office building has two stairwells.
Upon realizing that stairwell number one was blocked by tripwire traps, the Hyacinth Squad immediately chose to retreat via stairwell number two, thus avoiding being completely blocked in one fell swoop.
……
The underground parking garage was dark and gloomy.
The three stayed close together, wary of their surroundings, and made their way deeper into the garage.
A sense of tension settled over Hyacinth.
The closer she got to the center of the underground parking garage, the more uneasy she felt from this inexplicably strong magical force.
There is indeed a powerful barrier here... Could it be that Xin Yuehu really set up a bomb barrier? Why would she do that?
"Go this way, the magical reaction is strongest in this direction."
With her keen sense of magic, Nightingale guided the three of them in the right direction.
But as soon as they turned the corner, the catgirl figure leaning against a garage pillar in the distance made everyone stop abruptly.
"Hellcat!"
Hyacinth raises her gun and aims.
"Hehe, it came faster than I expected."
The catgirl smiled and stood up straight, her black-painted HK416 automatic rifle hanging in front of her, looking at the three of them.
Meet on a narrow road!
