133: Horror trap

I don't know how thick this iron wall is, but it has completely blocked the entire forty-meter canyon corridor.

"Oh no! It's a trap!"

Li Xiao shouted, hurriedly turning back to run, but by this time the iron wall had already risen three meters high; it was too late to run out.

"There's one in front too!"

Li Xiao thought to himself that this was bad. Just then, Chen Hu shouted again. Everyone looked ahead, and sure enough, an identical steel wall was rising in front of them as well.

"It's over!"

Everyone stood there at a loss, but the Black Hawk Unit didn't stop. The enemy troops on the plank roads on both sides had already arrived, but strangely, they didn't open fire.

Seeing this situation, Ling Chao's face darkened as he said, "It seems they still have a backup plan! We might be in trouble!"

Before he finished speaking, the humming sound of motors starting up echoed, and then they saw several openings suddenly appear on the canyon walls on both sides, followed by gun barrels as thick as human calves extending out.

Li Xiao looked closely and realized those weren't just gun barrels; they were clearly rotary heavy machine guns with six barrels each.

"Holy crap! Gatling guns!"

As Li Xiao shouted this, a sound very familiar to him rang out. The motors drove the Gatling machine gun barrels to rotate, and then...

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!

There were twenty firing points on the walls on both sides. Twenty Gatling heavy machine guns roared simultaneously, firing hundreds and thousands of bullets in an instant. The terrifying half-meter-long muzzle flashes illuminated the dim bottom of the canyon, turning it fiery red.

Ling Chao and the others instinctively made dodging movements, but under the crossfire, they were almost 360 degrees surrounded by a barrage of bullets. Each bullet could take away one or two hundred health points from the team members.

Li Xiao even discovered with horror that these heavy machine guns had tracking and locking capabilities; wherever they fled, the bullets would sweep toward them.

Li Xiao felt as if he were being beaten by a hundred burly men, his whole body being baptized by bullets everywhere. Although in this world of Hanhai Star, the pain of being shot was roughly like having a finger cut by a small knife.

But being cut continuously by countless small knives, nine out of ten people wouldn't be able to stand it. Moreover, the powerful inertial impact from the heavy machine gun bullets also left him dizzy.

In the end, he had to shrink into a corner, leaving his back and buttocks exposed.

This trap, which was almost designed to beat people into mincemeat, finally ended after two minutes.

The Gatling machine guns seemed to have exhausted all their ammunition; they retreated into the holes and were then blocked by specially camouflaged automatic gates.

Li Xiao turned back to look at everyone, only to find that besides their clothes being tattered, each person had actually only lost two or three hundred thousand health points.

"What the! Is that it?"

Li Xiao was immediately amused. With such a huge display, it had only helped them scrape off a layer of skin.

"These Gatling heavy machine guns were probably equipped with 500-round ammunition boxes. Once they ran out, there was no spare ammunition."

Ling Chao stood up, shook the bullet casings off his body, and continued, "This killing formation looks like it has fierce firepower, but in reality, most of the bullets didn't hit us. We took at most one-third of the bullets, and combined with our bulletproof vests and the damage reduction from King of War, so we..."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Quick! Everyone come to me to get new bulletproof vests, and then let's find a way to climb over this iron wall!"

On the plank road, hundreds of Black Hawk Empire soldiers were almost completely dumbfounded to see Li Xiao and his team changing their damaged bulletproof vests right in the middle of battle.

"This! Are they devils?! Can bullets not kill them at all?!"

"Too terrifying! I want to leave here!"

"Quickly notify reinforcements, this place is about to be breached!"

"Everyone keep firing! I don't believe they are truly immortal!"

...

Consequently, an overwhelming rain of bullets followed one after another. Although their current health had dropped to eight million, Ling Chao and the team members were not panicked in the slightest.

Gunfire raged overhead. Li Xiao directly took an extra bulletproof vest and held it over his head, shouting loudly, "How are we going to climb over this ten-meter-high iron wall!"

"Isn't that simple?"

Ling Chao reached back and opened his backpack, taking out a folded crossbow, as well as a coil of steel wire rope that shimmered with a pale white metallic luster.

"Does this mean..."

Li Xiao had never seen such a compact and exquisite crossbow, but when Ling Chao pulled out the steel wire rope, he probably knew what Ling Chao was going to do.

"This is a zipline gun! As long as you shoot it at the target position, it can drive the projectile, which has reverse explosive hooks, into general wall structures to secure it."

After speaking, Ling Chao aimed at a protruding rock at the corner where the iron wall met the cliff and pulled the trigger. Under the powerful kinetic energy provided by the pre-installed gas cylinder, the projectile, carrying the steel wire rope, slammed into the rock with a bang.

Then, the explosive hooks expanded under the action of the directional explosive, firmly fixing the projectile onto the rock.

Ling Chao tested the stability and immediately grabbed the steel wire rope with his bare hands to climb upward.

The enemies on the plank road saw Ling Chao's movements and immediately concentrated their fire on him. There were even a large number of bullets hitting the projectile anchor point, attempting to stop Ling Chao from climbing over the iron wall.

You have to say, this tactic of the Black Hawk Unit was indeed somewhat effective; the dense bullets riddled the rock with holes, but the projectile had penetrated deeply enough, and Ling Chao's movements were also very swift.

In just a dozen seconds, Ling Chao was sitting atop the wall.

Then they saw him reach out and unhook the steel cable connected to the projectile.

"Yue Ge, catch!"

Yue Ge and two others understood immediately and ran forward to catch the end of the steel cable that Ling Chao threw down.

With the three of them pulling together, Ling Chao successfully grabbed the other end and made it to the other side of the iron wall.

And all of this was accomplished while facing a rain of bullets.

"Is this the true strength of the Shadow Special Forces? I love it, I love it!" Li Xiao said with genuine admiration.

Then the team members began to climb over the iron wall one by one using the steel wire rope. Except for when the second team member climbed over, where Ling Chao had to expend quite a bit of effort, the others were all very easy.

Li Xiao had no experience with rope climbing and was essentially dragged up the iron wall by Ling Chao and the other two.

After Li Xiao landed, the last person was also pulled up, and then one end of the steel wire rope was hooked back onto the anchor point, followed by a smooth descent.

The Black Hawk Unit watched helplessly as their enemies climbed over this seemingly lethal machine gun trap right under their gun barrels, and all Li Xiao and his team had paid throughout the process was a few hundred thousand health points.

After climbing over this iron wall, two hundred meters away was the end of the canyon, and also the final core target of Li Xiao's operation this time.

They quickly reached the end. This was a cliff face over a hundred meters high, and beneath the cliff was an artificially excavated entrance resembling a highway tunnel.

Only, this entrance had long been closed, and what stood before them was a heavy gate made of alloy.

"Holy crap! This alloy gate could even be used to defend against nuclear bombs, right?"

Seeing this gate, Li Xiao felt even more desperate than when he saw those two rising iron walls just now.
