33. Intense Battle at the Checkpoint

"Take the weapons! If discovered, charge over at any time!" Barrett Walker tightly gripped the JS12.7mm sniper rifle. This cumbersome thing could only load 3 rounds, and he doubted whether he had made the right choice. But this was the only Chinese sniper rifle ranked 7th in the world, one of the top ten most famous sniper rifles in the world, and its power was quite formidable.

The JS12.7mm sniper rifle can fire 84-type 12.7mm tungsten-core armor-piercing shells, with a bullet head weight of 28g, a tungsten alloy bullet core diameter of 8mm, a mass of 22.5g, an initial velocity of 1150m/s, a chamber pressure of 324MPa, and at a distance of 1000m, it can penetrate a 15mm thick alloy steel plate sloped at 45 degrees.

When shooting at armored vehicles, in order to ensure good armor-piercing performance and achieve a better destructive effect, the choice of ammunition is crucial, and the armor-piercing shell becomes the preferred option.

In short, this is a weapon specifically designed for those thick-skinned alien monsters, but it's not suitable for close combat. However, with the three of them facing the aliens in close combat, it's purely suicidal.

There are many people coming and going at the checkpoint, all of them hunters who go hunting or travel between the two cities. The common people all take the underground subway to the other city. Those who are able to walk on the ground outside the city are not simple people.

Finally, their car was allowed to pass through the checkpoint. This thin-skinned van was quite a standout in front of these armored vehicles.

These border guards are all soldiers who have been pulled out of the top ten satellite military cities to rest and recuperate, and each of them exudes a strong smell of blood. Only these soldiers can suppress the hunters. A tall federal soldier knocked on the car window, motioning for it to be rolled down.

"What should we do? Should we charge through?" Danny's rank has already reached lieutenant in the military, and he is considered a rare genius among the younger generation. Perhaps not many of these soldiers have mastered the body-strengthening techniques that can unlock the forbidden zone of the gods, but they are still mere mortals. However, in front of these bloodthirsty soldiers, Danny is very sensitive and feels a sense of oppression in his voice, with a hint of trembling.

"Charge! Why not? Count to three, then rush over. Barrett and I will take care of the shooting!" Barrett said, gripping his gun.

"If we charge through the checkpoint for no reason and shoot federal soldiers, that's a major crime of treason! The three of us will be hanged!" Danny's voice trembled. In today's Human federation, no matter how much power your family holds, if it's a crime of treason, you will be hanged without question. So, despite Danny's grandfather being the head of the top nine executives of the Human federation, he doesn't dare to easily attempt treason.

"Then forget it!" Barrett quickly gave in.

"Soldier! What's going on?" Danny hid the gun and rolled down the window.

"Turn off the engine! Get out of the car and let me inspect it!" The man saw Danny's neat suit, then looked at the three of them - one in hospital clothes, one dressed casually. They were just three high school students, but he immediately put on a stern face and spoke.

"None of the vehicles in front have been asked to get out of the car. Why are you being asked to get out?" Barrett couldn't help but argue loudly.

But the response to Barrett was a row of dark gun muzzles on both sides of the wall, aimed at the van. With the van's thin skin, even if the three of them had the ability to move mountains, they would be blown to pieces.

"We're getting out of the car!" Barrett hadn't said a word, watching the movements outside. He believed that these soldiers still didn't know their identities, otherwise they wouldn't dare to aim their guns at them with live ammunition. If someone accidentally fired or if the control mechanism malfunctioned, all three of them would be dead, and it would be a big problem. However, no matter what, the three of them have special identities and no one can bear such great responsibility at the same time.

Thinking this, Barrett's mind slightly calmed down. As long as they hadn't been exposed, that was good. He got out of the car first, but quietly instructed Danny: "Don't turn off the engine! Charge through at any time."

"Report! This is a wanted order sent by the headquarters!" As soon as the three of them got out of the car, a man ran over from the command center with a blue file. The checkpoint leader, a lieutenant, took the file and looked at the top-secret A-level document. He didn't have the authority to see it, and asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Only officers above the rank of general are qualified to see this blue file. Why was it given to me?"

The messenger said, "This top-secret document has been decrypted and sent from the military to various places, instructing us to act according to what is written on it."

Barrett looked at the blue file not far away. Although he didn't know how federal secrecy was classified, the lieutenant's solemn and puzzled expression after receiving the blue file indicated that this document was definitely not simple.

Barrett's heart tightened. Could it be that the interception of their order was sent here?

"Why didn't you turn off the engine and get out of the car? What's in your car and what do you plan to do? Come clean, so you won't suffer later!" The atmosphere became even more tense as the three of them got out of the car slowly. The man roughly grabbed Barrett, but found that this high school student he had underestimated didn't flinch, and his face turned slightly red.

"Hmph! Can't you see for yourself what's in the car?" Barrett said impatiently.

"Don't argue with them. We'll be at a disadvantage!" Facing the dark gun muzzles, Danny wasn't as calm as Barrett and Barrett.

"What are you afraid of? It's just one person!" Barrett turned his head and added nonchalantly.

"Hmph! As long as you know we're at a disadvantage, it's good. Be honest!" The man who had just tried to detain Barrett, realizing that these three people were definitely not simple, and Barrett's offhand comment made the atmosphere even more tense. They waited for reinforcements to arrive before beginning to check. Although he was a soldier who wasn't afraid of death, it didn't mean he was a reckless fool. Having more people was the best way to handle the situation.

The lieutenant came over with the file. As soon as he saw the three of them, his expression froze, and he immediately shouted, "Don't use guns, just arrest them!"

Barrett looked at his unnatural expression, knowing that they had been exposed. Fortunately, he was on alert at all times. Before the man could speak, Barrett took a step back and pushed Barrett and Danny towards the soldiers, then stepped onto the van, shifted gears, revved the engine, and shouted, "Take care, brothers! See you at the coming-of-age ceremony in a month!"

"Stop him! Don't shoot, are you trying to get yourselves killed?" The lieutenant saw his men aiming to blow out the tires of the car, and although he trusted their marksmanship, it was still too dangerous. There couldn't be any mistakes!

The lieutenant was angry as he scolded.

Bang! A heavy truck came charging through, knocking over several soldiers and pushing the van out. A large group of gunmen immediately started firing at the crowd.

"Why didn't he let us go with him!" Danny, hiding behind the checkpoint, was being fired upon by the gunmen, but couldn't help asking Barrett.

"Isn't this what you wanted? Hmph! Fool! The three of us are all fools." Barrett said with irritation. Although he was afraid of dying, there was no need to take such risks. But Danny was underestimating himself too much!

"Heh, I understand. Maybe that's why we get along so well." Even though the bond between the three of them was unbreakable, and they were even willing to die for each other, it was clear that none of them wanted their brothers to be harmed for their own sake.

"These bastards are all trash! Relying on numbers? Hmph!" Barrett suddenly felt a sense of palpitations and knew that a sniper was aiming at him. His whole body suddenly swelled with blood, muscles tense and rigid. He quickly moved to dodge, and the bullet almost grazed his body, hitting the ground and exploding into a large piece. The loud gunfire finally registered in everyone's ears, and he cursed, "Son of a bitch! There's a sniper! Get back to cover!"
