Commanding heights

The Fire Hammer Squad quietly entered the suburban area of County No. 0201.

"Luo Feng, we've been traveling along the highway for the past three days, all through desolate areas," Chen Gu said in a low voice as they walked, "The vast majority of monsters live in cities, in densely built areas! County towns, urban areas, these are the truly dangerous places!"

"I understand, Brother Chen," Luo Feng nodded.

He had already seen some habits of monster gatherings in posts.

In the long-term war between monsters and humans, monsters found that if they lived in open and desolate areas with no cover, then human armies and human warriors could lock onto them from a distance and attack them remotely with "heavy sniper rifles" or even missiles!

But in urban areas, there are many buildings.

As long as monsters hide in densely built areas, then sniper rifles will hardly have a chance, unless the sniper comes into the city! And once human armies enter the city and engage in street fighting with monsters, then monsters will have a great advantage. Densely built areas are the paradise for monsters!

"Our target for the Fire Hammer Squad is naturally the general-level monsters! However…" Chen Gu reminded in a low voice, "General-level monsters already have a certain level of wisdom, not much different from humans. General-level monsters will command a large number of soldier-level monsters to gather around them, listening to their commands. Almost every general-level monster has a large number of soldier-level monsters around it, so it's very difficult to kill a general."

Luo Feng nodded.

The difference between soldiers and generals is not only in strength, but most importantly - wisdom!

In order to survive, general-level monsters naturally gather a large number of soldier-level monsters to protect them. Except for a few monsters who like to act alone, most generals have a lot of soldiers around them.

"Everyone be careful, there is an iron-armored bull nest in the area ahead," Captain Gao Feng suddenly spoke up, "The leader of this iron-armored bull nest should be a senior general, and this iron-armored bull nest has a large number of iron-armored bulls, we will detour! Chen Gu, don't shoot. Once an iron-armored bull attacks, remember, you must kill it instantly, don't let the iron-armored bull call its companions."

"Yes, Captain."

The other five all nodded.

Suburbs and urban areas, unlike the desolate areas outside, are much more dangerous here.

Along a narrow path, the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad proceeded cautiously.

"Stop." Wei Tie, the eldest of the Wei brothers, who was at the front, raised his hand and stared solemnly ahead, only to see a huge iron-haired wild boar lying in the distance ahead, and next to it were two tiger mastiff monsters eating flesh and blood with their heads down. Suddenly, the tiger mastiff monsters looked up at the Fire Hammer Squad in the distance, becoming quite alert.

"We'll go around, don't take action," Gao Feng said softly.

In the desolate areas of the highway, they were very casual, killing monsters if they wanted to. But it's different in the city.

…

Proceeding cautiously all the way, avoiding more than ten times, and instantly killing eight ordinary soldier-level monsters, Luo Feng and his group finally arrived at their first destination - a residential area called "Blue Sky Residential Area" in County-level City No. 0201. The reason why the Blue Sky Residential Area was designated as the first destination by the Fire Hammer Squad is because this residential area has three residential buildings that are as high as twenty-one floors.

"Let's go, up to the rooftop."

"Everyone be careful, there might be a monster popping out somewhere in the residential building."

"Don't make a loud noise."

The six members of the Fire Hammer Squad kept moving up the stairs.

"Roar…" A low roar echoed faintly in the building, the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad frowned slightly, Wei Tie, who was at the front, said in a low voice, "It should be upstairs, everyone be careful." Everyone was holding their weapons, ready to take action at any time. And Chen Gu, who was using thermal weapons, was protected in the center.

Step by step, they moved forward.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng saw a lion mastiff monster, which was two meters tall and had long body hair, looking like a large military off-road vehicle, suddenly appeared around the corner ahead. As soon as this lion mastiff monster ran out and saw humans, it immediately let out a low roar and rushed over with a gust of stench.

The Fire Hammer Squad was climbing the stairs, while the lion mastiff monster was diving down, adding to its momentum due to its huge size.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wei Tie and Wei Qing, the brothers at the front, moved almost identically, one hand with a shield, the other with a curved knife, both rushing upwards at the same time. They almost brushed past the lion mastiff monster! As they brushed past, the curved knife that formed an arc just grazed the joint of the lion mastiff's front paw.

Wei Tie and Wei Qing both used the same move!

This caused the lion mastiff monster's two front paws to stumble a bit, landing somewhat unsteadily on the stairs. At this time, Zhang Ke, who was behind Wei Tie and Wei Qing in the Fire Hammer Squad, made a sudden advance, and at the same time, the alloy spear in his hand stabbed towards the head of the stumbling lion mastiff monster with a sharp whistling sound.

Puff! The spear instantly penetrated the eyes of the lion mastiff monster, piercing through the head of the lion mastiff monster!

"Hehe…" The lion mastiff monster unconsciously pedaled its four paws twice, then fell down powerless.

The cooperation of Wei Qing, Wei Tie, and Zhang Ke was indeed exquisite! The first two helped to injure the front limbs of the lion mastiff, causing the lion mastiff monster to be unstable, and Zhang Ke instantly shot out, killing it with one shot! Zhang Ke's marksmanship was also terrifyingly accurate, directly piercing the eyes.

…

During this climb, the Fire Hammer Squad encountered three monsters in total, which was considered good luck. And one of these three monsters actually rushed up from the stairs below, at that time Luo Feng and Gao Feng were at the end of the team, naturally it was Luo Feng who killed this G-level monster cleanly and neatly.

…

After exiting the stairwell, the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad arrived at the rooftop of this 21-story high-rise residential area.

"Close the stairwell, lock it up for me!" Gao Feng said, "Prevent monsters from running up from below and getting to the rooftop."

"Yes."

Luo Feng and Zhang Ke personally went to close the iron door of the stairwell, specifically finding a piece of iron rod to jam it.

"Phew, finally can breathe a sigh of relief." Zhang Ke rarely showed a smile, directly sat down on the rooftop, took out high-energy food and water from his backpack.

"Everyone has binoculars, right?" Captain Gao Feng said, "Everyone take out your binoculars, look down from the edge of the rooftop, see if you can find a general-level monster! Remember, don't expose too much of your body on the rooftop, if the monsters below find out, there will be a little trouble!" It's actually very safe on the rooftop.

A 21-story residential building rooftop, ordinary monsters simply cannot climb up from the outside.

Even if there is a general-level monster commanding monsters to come up from the stairs, but how wide are the stairs? The threat is not great. The Fire Hammer Squad has plenty of time to escape.

"Start searching for general-level monsters."

"Brothers, let's find monsters."

Luo Feng also took out his binoculars from his backpack, like binoculars, steel wires and other auxiliary tools, everyone carries them, anyway, the weight is not heavy.

Squatting at the edge of the rooftop, Luo Feng saw at a glance the streets below, with a large number of monsters visible everywhere: "The number of monsters in the urban dense area is indeed ten to a hundred times more than in the wilderness." Even on one of the streets, at a glance, there are at least hundreds of monsters moving forward.

Even for a war general, if they fall into a siege of hundreds of ordinary monsters, the possibility of getting out alive is not great.

"Captain, they are all soldier-level monsters."

"I haven't seen any general-level ones appear on my side."

Including the captain, five members of the team, all holding binoculars, watching down from different positions. Standing high, you can see far. On the rooftop of a 21-story residential building, you can indeed see far, and you can see a lot of monsters.

"Click!" An iron box opened, Chen Gu, the only one in the Fire Hammer Squad who did not use binoculars, opened the iron box. In addition to a large amount of ammunition, there is also a rectangular wooden box in this iron box. Opening the wooden box, there are some gun parts inside, Chen Gu quickly assembled them.

In a moment…

A nearly two-meter-long, all-silver-gray heavy sniper rifle was assembled, and all the optical equipment sights were also installed.

Chen Gu pressed special bullets into the magazine, a full ten bullets.

"Captain, notify me when you find a general-level monster," Chen Gu said.

"Okay, you take a short nap first, rest up. Leave the search for general-level monsters to us," Gao Feng nodded, and at the same time instructed the others, "Everyone be careful, don't miss anything." This is the easiest way to hunt general-level monsters in the city, you can see far from a high point.

This is much faster than finding general-level monsters on the street, and it's also very safe.

Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, the Wei brothers, and Gao Feng, all five people were holding binoculars and carefully watching every place below, while Chen Gu was holding a heavy sniper rifle and starting to sleep with his eyes closed.
