My Apocalypse Territory

Chapter 173 - 172: Is This What the Sky-splitting Crystal Looks Like? (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

The golden gauze on his body and the spinning blue shield were all enhancements attached to him, one-time Defense Scrolls.

There were many, all of which had been manufactured through the Spell Factory.

There, in addition to re

"What's this?"

"It seems to be Puppets too, but they look much more impressive than those Heavy Armor Puppets!"

A Lindong Mercenary suddenly said, "Do you remember? Earlier the Boss released some round Puppets. Could the Boss have the ability to summon Puppets?"

In their view, Tang Yu's Puppets were different from the tomb's Puppets.

The tomb's Puppets had always been there, merely activated by their arrival, while Boss Tang's Puppets were different – a small sphere could unfold in an instant into a two-meter tall human-shaped Puppet. Would you believe it if it were told?

Before the apocalypse, people believed in science, but after the apocalypse, they put more faith in abilities.

Rather than believing these were Puppets made via black technology, they were more inclined to believe it was some sort of ability to summon Puppets.

Anyway, when something couldn't be explained, they just chalked it up to a Special Ability.

"But, those round Puppets we saw before were easily dismantled by the Heavy Armor Puppets in the Bear's Mouth Tunnel; can these ones make a difference?" Some didn't dare to hope too much, fearing another disappointment.

At that moment, the Puppets holding firearms fired the first shots.

These firearms, over a meter in length and of an indistinguishable make, fit just right in the hands of the towering Fighter Puppets.

Pop, pop, pop—

Flames burst from the barrels of the guns.

"Bullets will probably have a hard time piercing through those Heavy Armor Pupp..."

Many people observed Tang Yu's situation while they fought.

Some recalled how their firearms had failed against the Heavy Armor Puppets; the bullets lacked the penetration power to pierce through the Puppets' armor. Even sniper rifles, which could put a small hole in a Heavy Armor Puppet, were of no use.

For the Puppets, unless their energy cores were destroyed, such minor wounds couldn't even affect their mobility; the Puppets' energy cores weren't in fixed locations. Using firearms was utterly futile; they were better off using melee weapons to dismantle the Puppets' limbs and disable their combat capacity first.

Then,

The first bullet, spinning, struck the nearest Heavy Armor Puppet.

In a flash, the mysterious runes on the bullet flashed by, and the solid armor of the Puppet, as if it were made of paper, was instantly penetrated.

But the next moment, the bullet did not emerge from the back of the Heavy Armor Puppet. Instead, a loud bang erupted from within the Heavy Armor Puppet, and a red flame exploded outwards, shredding the Puppet's body to pieces, the fragments flying around like deadly blades.

"This..."

The person who had just spoken watched the scene in dumbfounded silence, his mouth agape without realizing it. If not for a companion pulling him away, he might have been the first unfortunate Awakener to die at the hands of a Heavy Armor Puppet due to his distraction.
