The Firehammer squad quietly entered the suburban area of county 0201.

“Luo Feng, in these three days of rushing, we were walking along the highway, and all the roads we took belonged to desolate areas.” While walking, Chen Gu lowered his voice and said, “The vast majority of monsters live within cities, in built up areas! Places such as counties and urban areas are the truly dangerous places!”

“Understood, brother Chen.” Luo Feng nodded.

In the post, he had long seen some of the habits of monsters gathering.

During the long war between monsters and humans, the monsters realized that if they lived in an open and desolate area with no cover, then the human army and human martial artists could lock onto them from a long distance, and could attack them remotely with heavy sniper rifles or even missiles!

In the city center, there are a lot of buildings.

As long as the monster hides in the dense building area, then, the sniper rifle is very difficult to have a chance, unless the sniper comes to the city! And once the human army entered the city, and the monsters engaged in street fighting, then the monsters would have a great advantage. The densely built up area was the paradise of the monsters!

“The target of our Firehammer Squad is naturally the Beast General level monsters! However,……” Chen Gu reminded in a low voice, “Beast General level monsters already have a certain level of intelligence, not much different than humans. A Beast General level monster will order a large number of Beast Soldier level monsters to gather around it and listen to its command. Almost every beast general level monster is surrounded by a large number of beast soldier level monsters, so it’s very difficult to kill a beast general.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Beast soldiers and beast generals, not only was there a big difference in strength, the most important thing was – intelligence!

In order to save their lives, beast general level monsters would naturally gather a large number of beast soldier level monsters to protect around them. Other than the very few monsters that preferred to travel alone, the vast majority of beast generals were surrounded by many beast soldiers.

“Everyone be careful, there is an Iron Armored Bull lair in the area ahead.” Captain Gao Feng suddenly spoke, “The leader of this Iron-armored Cow Lair should be a superior beast general, and this Iron-armored Cow Lair possesses a large number of Iron-armored Cows, so let’s go around! Chen Gu, don’t shoot. Once an Iron-armored Bull attacks, remember, make sure to kill it instantly and don’t let the Iron-armored Bull call out to its companions.”

“Yes, captain.”

The other five nodded their heads.

The suburbs and urban areas, unlike the desolate areas outside, this place was much more dangerous.

Along a narrow path, the six people of the Firehammer Squad advanced cautiously.

“Stop.” At the forefront of the Wei family brothers boss ‘Wei Tie’ raised his hand, solemnly staring ahead, only to see a huge sized iron hair boar lying on the ground in the distance ahead, while next to it there were two tiger mastiff monsters lowering their heads and gulping down blood and meat, suddenly the tiger mastiff monsters looked up at the Fire Hammer squad in the distance, alerted quite a bit.

“Let’s go around and not make a move.” Gao Feng said softly.

In the desolate area of the highway, Luo Feng and the others were dashing around, they could kill the monsters if they wanted to. But in the city it was different.

After carefully avoiding more than ten times and instantly killing eight ordinary beast soldier level monsters, Luo Feng’s group finally arrived at their first destination – the “blue sky neighborhood”, a neighborhood in the 0201 county level city. The reason why the Blue Sky neighborhood was designated as the first destination by the Firehammer squad was because the neighborhood had three residential buildings that were twenty-one stories tall.

“Let’s go, up to the rooftop of the top floor.”

“Everyone be careful, a monster might emerge from somewhere inside the residential buildings.”

“Don’t make loud noises.”

The Fire Hammer Squad of six people, kept advancing along the stairs.

“Roar ……” A low beast roar faintly echoed within the floor, the six people of the Fire Hammer Squad frowned slightly, Wei Tie, who was at the forefront, said in a low voice, “It should be the upstairs, all be careful.” One by one, all of them held their weapons, ready to strike. And Chen Gu, who used a hot weapon, was protected in the center.

Advancing step by step.

“Eh?” Luo Feng saw with a glance that a lion mastiff canine monster with a height of two meters and long hair all over its body, as if it was the size of a large military buggy, suddenly emerged from the corner in front of him. This lion mastiff monster ran out to see humans, immediately low roar, with a gust of fishy wind on the fly rushed over.

The Fire Hammer Squad was going up the stairs, while the Lion Mastiff Monster was swooping, coupled with the kinetic energy formed by its massive size.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The foremost brothers Wei Tie and Wei Qing moved almost identically, with a shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other, simultaneously rushing towards the top. They almost brushed past the Lion Mastiff monster! When they brushed past, the scimitar that turned into an arc just crossed the joints of the Lion Mastiff’s front paws.

Wei Tie and Wei Qing brothers were all using the same stance!

This caused the Lion Mastiff Canine Monster’s two front paws to stagger and land somewhat unsteadily on the steps. At this time, the iron spear “Zhang Ke” in the Fire Hammer squad after Wei Tie and Wei Qing instantly made a progress, and at the same time, the alloy lance in his hand stabbed at the staggering Lion Mastiff Beast’s head with a sharp whistling sound.

Puff! The lance instantly penetrated through the eyes of the lion mastiff dog monster, penetrating the lion mastiff dog monster skull!

“Ho ho ……” The Lion Mastiff Canine Monster Beast unconsciously stomped on all four paws twice before collapsing powerlessly.

Wei Qing, Wei Tie, Zhang Ke three people cooperate is indeed exquisite! The first two people to help hurt the lion mastiff’s forelimbs, so that the lion mastiff beast is not stable, and Zhang Ke instantly out of the gun, a hit killed! Zhang Ke’s marksmanship is also horribly accurate, and even directly pierced through the eyes.

In the process of climbing the building this time, the Fire Hammer Team encountered a total of three monsters, which was considered good luck. One of these three monsters even rushed up from the stairs below, at that time, Luo Feng and Gao Feng were at the very end of the team, naturally, Luo Feng killed this G class monster with a clean shot.

Walking out of the stairway, the six people of the Firehammer squad arrived at the rooftop of this twenty one story high rise residential area.

“Close the stairway and shut it down for me!” Gao Feng spoke, “Prevent any monsters from running up from below and onto the rooftop.”

“Yes.”

Luo Feng and Zhang Ke personally went to close the iron door of the stairway, specifically looking for an iron bar to jam it shut.

“Whew, finally I can breathe a sigh of relief.” Zhang Ke revealed a rare smile and directly sat on his butt on the rooftop, taking out high powered food and water from his backpack.

“All bring binoculars right.” Captain Gao Feng spoke, “Everyone take out their binoculars and look downwards for me at the edge of the rooftop to see if we can find any Beast General level monsters! Remember, don’t expose your bodies too much of the rooftop, there will be a little trouble if the monsters below find out!” On the rooftop, it was actually quite safe.

On the rooftop of a 21-story high residential building, normal monsters couldn’t even climb up from the outside.

Even if there were beast general level monsters commanding the monsters to come up from the sand of the stairs, but how wide were the stairs? It was not a big threat. The Fire Hammer Team had plenty of time to escape.

“Start searching for beast general level monsters.”

“Brothers, look for monsters.”

Luo Feng also took out the binoculars from his own backpack, some aids like binoculars and steel wires were carried by everyone, they didn’t weigh much anyway.

Crouching on the edge of the rooftop, Luo Feng saw a street below with a large number of monsters everywhere at a glance, “The number of monsters in dense urban areas is indeed ten times more than in the middle of nowhere.” Even on one of the streets, there were at least hundreds of monsters advancing at a glance.

Even for a Battle General level martial artist, if they were caught in a siege of hundreds of ordinary monsters, it would be unlikely for them to pull out alive.

“Captain, they’re all beast soldier level monsters.”

“I haven’t seen any Beast General level ones appear on my side either.”

The five members of the team, including the captain, were holding binoculars in different directions towards the downstairs. Standing tall was the only way to see far. On the rooftop of a high 21-story residential area, one could indeed see far and see many monsters.

“Ka!” An iron box opened, and Chen Gu, the only one in the Firehammer Squad who did not use binoculars, opened the iron box. In addition to a large amount of ammunition in this iron box, there was also a rectangular wooden box, opening the wooden box, some gun parts were being placed inside, Chen Gu quickly assembled them.

In a few moments–

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

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

“Captain, notify me when you find a beast general level monster.” Chen Gu opened his mouth.

“Well, take a nap first and recuperate. Leave the matter of finding the Beast General level monsters to us.” Gao Feng nodded while instructing the others, “Everyone be careful, don’t miss anything.” This was one of the easiest ways to hunt beast general level monsters in the city, and one could see far from the high ground.

This could be ten times a hundred times faster than looking for beast general level monsters on the streets, and the safety was also very high.

Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Wei brothers and Gao Feng, all five of them were holding binoculars and carefully looking at every place below, as for Chen Gu, he was holding his heavy sniper rifle and squinting his eyes and started to sleep.
