Chapter 78: Killing the Sandbirds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the new era, the education policy was to train high school students as reserves.

They had to study science and arts in the morning, practice martial arts in the afternoon, and learn firearms on Saturday.

Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but charge with anticipation. He was well-versed in both martial arts and superpowers. He could even be a special forces soldier if he could pilot a plane and a tank!

To his surprise, the school actually had classes on flying planes and tanks!

However, that was an elective course that required the students to sign up themselves. They could only learn it after the school’s assessment.

For example, one had to be in the top ten of the grade in terms of academic results or martial arts cultivation, or one had to awaken a driving specialization in the spirit domain or other similar superpowers to register.

Universities in the new era were equivalent to the military schools in Chu Lingjun’s previous life.

If there were no accidents after graduation, one could obtain the rank of commander within a year of training in the army. Later on, they would also be trained as reserve officers.

Although it sounded risky and irrational to let the students go on the streets to kill the enemy, the school and the Education Bureau had already laid down many layers of foundations to expect something like this to happen.

In the past, when the battles against exotic beasts were getting worse, there had been cases of students being sent to the battlefield.

After all, in the face of life and death, everything else meant nothing.

Moreover, Principal Zhong Tongshan was right. The mutated beasts were currently slaughtering their unarmed compatriots in the city, so why should the students who had been trained and possessed extraordinary powers hide in the school?

Who could remain indifferent?

Who could endure this?

After putting on their equipment and holding their guns tightly, the students began to rush out of the school gate in a tacit understanding.

Outside the school, all the available anti-air weapons were firing wildly.

However, in front of the Sandbirds almost unsolvable skill, these weapons seemed particularly dull.

A large number of Sandbirds passed through the net and landed in the city to hunt and kill more innocent lives.

Shen Yanhu led Class Four and rushed to the nearest kindergarten. “Stay as close to me as you can. Don’t run around or act alone!”

“Yes, sir!”

As soon as they arrived at the kindergarten, the wind started to howl above their heads. A dozen Sandbirds passed through the net of fire and descended from the sky!

They flapped their huge wings and raised their iron claws, pouncing at the students with gusto.

The iron claw was the size of a human face. If it were to grab the head, the head would definitely be crushed like a watermelon!

“Get down!” Shen Yanhu shouted.

Everyone quickly lay down and raised their rifles to the sky, shooting clips of fire at the Sandbirds.

A large number of bullets landed on the Sandbirds, but most of them were blocked by their thick and hard feathers.

Only some remaining bullets successfully shot into the bodies of the Sandbirds, but other than a few streaks of blood, it did not affect their killing much. The Sandbirds moved as usual.

The stronger a Sandbird was, the longer the duration of their skill, Sandification.

Under normal circumstances, as long as everyone with rifles focuses their fire, they can take down a few Sandbirds.

With mutated Sandbirds, it caused the power of pistols and rifles to be reduced by half.

At this moment, a figure stomped on the ground and shot into the air like a cannonball. The long saber behind him was unsheathed, and a saber qi that was five to six meters long slashed out!

The saber qi was like a drill that pierced through the sky!

The dozen Sandbirds that had pounced down from the sky were killed with a

single slash!

More than ten Sandbirds were split into two halves and fell from the sky, their blood splashing everywhere!

It was Shen Yanhu who had attacked back!

“Sandbirds are afraid of spell-type attacks, as well as blood essence and true qi attacks! Infuse your qi, essence, and true qi into your weapons. This way, you can effectively harm your opponent!”

Shen Yanhu instructed the students behind him as he fought.

“Yes, sir!”

Right after, another large wave of Sandbirds descended from above. This time, there were more of them!!

The leading Sandbird had a powerful and imposing aura. When it spread its wings, it instantly formed a large shadow that reached more than ten meters!

Everyone’s expressions changed. This Sandbird was a Level Three beast! “Everyone, hide in the buildings and use the obstacles to kill the enemy!”

“Yes, sir!”

Without needing Shen Yanhu to give the order, everyone had already rushed into the buildings on both sides in an orderly manner.

With their strength, dealing with a Level One Sandbird was no problem. A Level Two Sandbird was considered a struggle, and a Level Three Sandbird was considered asking for a death sentence!

Many more Sandbirds kept charging down. They seemed undefeatable!

Shen Yanhu did not cower. He growled and charged at the leader.

Only he could deal with this Level Three Sandbird. If he fails, his students will die!

The Sandbirds around him could tell how powerful Shen Yanhu was, and they all avoided him, shrieking as they charged toward the kindergarten.

The Sandbirds’ sturdy bodies smashed through most of the buildings below!

The strong gusts of wind were like razors. They whistled and swept across, shattering the glass and a large number of buildings!

Some teachers and children hiding at the bottom of the building screamed in fear.

As soon as Chu Lingjun rushed into the kindergarten, he saw a yellow Sandbird stuffed into the small security hall next to the main entrance.

A figure dressed in a security guard’s uniform was pecked into a bloody mess by the other party’s beak. Chunks of meat splattered everywhere, and almost all that was left was a skeleton stained with blood.

Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi, who were following behind Chu Lingjun, saw this bloody scene and their pupils constricted!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a hemp rope shot out from his body and struck the Sandbird in the security room.

The Sandbird, which was feasting happily, trembled and fell to the ground.

Chu Lingjun activated his Electric Field. There were already a few Sandbirds descending to the depths of the kindergarten. Chu Lingjun hurriedly spoke,

“You guys finish him off, quick!”

Although superpowers were useful, they consumed mana and mental energy.

Therefore, he first used lightning to strike and then handed it to Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi to finish the attack. This was the most efficient way to kill the enemy!

“Of course!”

Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi were not rookies who had never experienced battle. They instantly knew what Chu Lingjun meant and quickly acted.

The two of them quickly rushed to the security office and fired their rifles. The bullet shells popped out and poured on the Sandbird.

As soon as they approached the security office, Chen Zhiqi and Ding Peng immediately raised their swords. True qi gathered on the blade and whistled down, splitting the Sandbird into pieces!

After a week of seclusion, Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi had finally advanced to Rank Two martial artists, finally catching up to Chu Lingjun.

Of course, the two of them did not know that Chu Lingjun had already broken through to Early Stage Rank Two. In the past week, they had been looking at

Chu Lingjun with complacency.

“Let’s go!”

After killing the Sandbird, Chu Lingjun led the two of them into the kindergarten.

As soon as he rushed in, the other classmates behind him, Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and the others also rushed over nervously.

On the battlefield, it was a biological instinct to follow the strong!

For those students who did not have much combat experience, they felt that only by following Chu Lingjun would they feel safe..
