MTLNOVEL Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Who Cares? Just Charge Ahead!
Bang!
As Nagant Revolver and P38 were busy turning the mechanical roulette with the P38, they heard the sound and quickly turned around.
They found Renault kicking the console where someone was blabbering incessantly, smashing them to pieces along with the communication equipment on top.
"Hey? Commander, we're about to open the door now, probably only need about thirty seconds!" Nagant Revolver shouted hastily while turning the mechanical switch for the gate.
"Thirty seconds? Others would have surrounded us by then, let go."
Saying this, Renault took the handle of the switch from Nagant Revolver and P38's hands, while tossing two grenades, slightly modified, under the counterweight blocks of the gate.
"Huh, Commander, did you just blow it up?"
Is that really feasible?
This seems too extreme even for a movie plot, and the space under the counterweight block is not enclosed. The explosive force of just two grenades shouldn't be enough to open the gate wide enough.
"Tell HK416 and AR15 outside to wait near the gate."
Renault glanced at the counterweight well next to the mechanical switch and gestured to Nagant Revolver and P38.
"Got it." Both nodded in response, with P38 still holding the bag of food inflator she bought.
Ratatatat!
As the two rushed out of the control room, they saw HK416 and AR15 firing wildly towards the distance, keeping a group of armed individuals from raising their heads.
Even with smoke obscuring their vision, it didn't hinder the precision of HK416 and AR15's attacks. Anybody with a bit of courage who dared to show themselves would instantly be targeted by the two.
Although HK416 and AR15 only held two guns each and didn't use their secondary weapons, they alternated magazines seamlessly, maintaining continuous firepower. At that moment, it sounded as if they had been firing continuously.
However, this state obviously couldn't last long. Even though HK416 was fully loaded, AR15's ammunition was clearly insufficient.
"Quick! Commander wants us by the gate!" Nagant Revolver rushed to their side, taking out two individuals attempting a flank assault while shouting.
"The gate!?" Hearing Nagant Revolver's words, AR15 looked back in confusion.
The gate had only opened a gap of less than ten centimeters wide, not even wide enough for them to squeeze through sideways!
If it were five centimeters wider, perhaps she could try to squeeze through sideways... but ten centimeters was too much... There's no way they could fit!
"There's no time to question now! Let's go!" HK416 shouted to AR15, pulling out her grenade launcher.
Two high-explosive grenades flew towards the crowd opposite!
Boom!
Inside the control room, Renault watched through the window as HK416 and her team gradually approached the gate. He then looked at the counterweight well beside him.
The place where there should have been only steel cables, counterweights, and mechanical parts was now covered in a crimson glow.
Seeing this, Renault smashed the window in front of him and rushed to HK416's side in three quick steps.
"Huh? Commander?"
Boom!
Before Nagant Revolver could finish her sentence, a muffled explosion echoed from the control room!
And with that explosion, the gate, which had only been a fist-width gap, suddenly swung open violently on both sides!
"Go." Renault grabbed HK416 and AR15, flinging them through the gap in the gate!
Nagant Revolver and P38, closest to the gate, naturally didn't need Renault's help. They had already darted through the opening as soon as it appeared.
Before either of them could turn around to urge Renault on, he had already taken a step and leaped out from inside.
Bang!
The gate which had only been open for two or three seconds, slammed shut violently after Renault and his team passed through!
The grating sound made AR15's teeth ache. If one of them had been standing in the middle when the gate closed, they would have been flattened into a pile of parts by now!
"Commander! How did you do that!? Just two grenades, how could they possibly move those heavy counterweights?"
This gate in the black market stronghold was at least four meters high and half a meter thick, weighing tens to hundreds of tons. AR15 couldn't believe that just two grenades could move something so heavy.
It must have been something their commander did after they left the control room.
"Let's talk about it later, this isn't over yet." Renault waved his hand nonchalantly.
The road leading to this black market stronghold couldn't possibly be the only one, and those who had caught up just now had all come on foot. The managers of the black market surely had some means of transportation.
When they come chasing in their vehicles, are they going to race them on foot?
As Renault and his team rushed through the gate and into the passage leading to the outside world, those who had caught up were left dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined that the tightly sealed, hundreds of tons heavy gate would just open up in front of those few individuals!? And the speed at which it opened was clearly not normal!
"Quick! Check the control room!"
Of course, there were those with keen eyes or quick wits. After seeing the gate close, they rushed towards the control room next to the gate.
If those guys could open the gate, there's no reason they couldn't!
But unfortunately, after they hurriedly rushed into the control room, which had already had a large chunk of its roof blown off, what they saw was not a sturdy and usable gate control mechanism, but a lump of scrap metal emitting heat, with flames still burning on the steel cables!
"What's going on!? What did that guy use to destroy these things!?"
"Don't just stand there! Is now the time to be thinking about this? Hurry to the nearest exit! If you delay, you won't even get a sip of soup!"
Although some people didn't understand what they were chasing, seeing so many people rushing over, and since those guys could do it, why couldn't they?
And if there's no benefit, what are you all rushing over for?
In confusion, a group of people rushed to the nearest gate. At this point, they didn't even care about the guards at the entrance.
Seeing that the gate hadn't closed, they rushed out in a frenzy!
And in the process, they attracted another group of people who, half-understanding, followed them out, armed and ready.
Who cares what they're doing? Since so many people are going, they naturally want to see what's going on.
What if it's really something good?
