A Guiti  has appeared!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At all nearby convoys, everyone’s faces turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that figure, no one could avoid that strange, uncanny feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Infinite, crew members in every car opened their blackout covers and peered out the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, every gaze fixed on that direction—the atmosphere thick with tension and eeriness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the towering Guiying ’s circular head seemed to shift slightly—next, a sliver of red light ignited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing’s entire head was a massive hollow; the red light blazed like a searchlight, illuminating the night’s condensation fog, bathing everything in crimson, terrifying and grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glowing red head moved—bending low, it extended whip-like limbs, ripping open the roof of a house in the forest, its red light probing inward like a spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, slowly, the red-headed thing turned toward the train and convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oooommm~~~!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hollow, thunderous roar erupted from it—like the whistle of a Wandun  ocean liner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound wave hit—instantly, everyone who heard it paled, clutching their ears; a cold, sinister aura surged forth, freezing them to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trembling sound echoed inside the Infinite’s carriages; Lin Xian instantly scanned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that noise?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know—it’s coming from over there.” Chen Sixuan pointed to Car 1; her face was strained, as if the sound had triggered a visceral physical discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned and sprinted over—then discovered the source was the Hetero Cube!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snatched it up—the Hetero Cube was violently vibrating; the Mechanical Heart activated, revealing a flickering screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Non-mechanical force detected—reflective scan in progress.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Massive fear-force impacts detected!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face darkened—he instantly understood, snatching up his radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under the sonic tremors, all radio signals failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed into the driver’s cabin, grabbed the public address system, and bellowed outside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back in your vehicles! This thing amplifies the fear of the Dark Invasion!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lin Xian’s voice blasted from the Infinite’s external speakers, a wounded middle-aged man in the Eagle convoy, still gripping his rifle, let out a piercing scream—his bandages gushed blood, the veins around his eyes turned black, his pupils slowly swallowed by darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those nearby recoiled in terror; comrades shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Dong, Li Dong!! Snap out of it!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh! Aahhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man called Li Dong shrieked wildly; the instant his eyes were fully consumed by black, he collapsed to his knees, mouth gaping toward the sky—then countless tiny insect limbs and tendrils burst from his throat and corners of his eyes; his body twisted uncontrollably, joints cracking, his face melting into a grotesque mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!! Kill me!!” Li Dong screamed desperately, “Please… take care of my wife and son!! Aahhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s mutating!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These survivors had seen this before—but none expected the mutation to be this fast, this sudden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“End his suffering!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One comrade’s face twisted in agony—he gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking hell! Aahhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunfire erupted—Li Dong’s head exploded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, thick tendrils oozed out; his ruptured flesh pulsed with blood; nearby men opened full fire, blasting his upper body into pulp—only then did he fall still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they finished that, another outbreak erupted elsewhere—suddenly, the entire convoy was collapsing at every point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yang, closest to Lin Xian, heard his warning first—he reacted instantly and shouted to all around:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back in your vehicles!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, retreat to your vehicles!” Wu Zhenhai also activated the convoy’s PA system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh! Chaos erupted instantly—before combat even began, gunfire rained down on their own mutated comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless fighters who’d prepared to engage now scrambled back into their vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the living cars, women covered children’s ears; men held down wounded allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, the red light pierced the night mist, humming relentlessly, shaking the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one glance, at least six or seven people had mutated—all without exception, injured or weak individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hssst! Oooom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Infinite, the G3 electromagnetic railgun in Car 2 and the 1130 CIWS in Car 12 rose simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes turned icy; he clenched his teeth, silent—aimed directly at the red-headed monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oooom! Zzzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcs crackled along the railgun—then a blinding blue beam shot out, slicing through the night, striking the monster’s red head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dooom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1130 opened full fire—torrents of metal rounds, tracer-laced, poured toward the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The railgun round struck true—the monster’s hollow head shattered at the edge; black fragments flew everywhere, hitting the ground and igniting violently with energy tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humming ceased instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1130’s metal storm whipped up a dust storm on the ground; the monster’s black limbs and skin shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-fog wind surged—the red-headed monster twisted its upper body, levitating unnaturally into the air, then vanished into the night, leaving only a distant flicker of red moving away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, this thing can fly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comms restored; Lin Xian immediately shouted to all:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let its red light touch you—its attack method is unlike anything we’ve faced before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Copy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back to camp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Car 11, Kiki hugged Shasha, who had her hands over her ears; her face was pale. Hearing Lin Xian’s voice, she snapped to—shoved Shasha into the God of War mech’s cockpit. “Stay inside. Seal the hatch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha pleaded: “But Sally can’t stand up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki smacked her forehead, then pressed the hatch seal, glaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stay put. I’m going to help Lin Brother. I’ll call you out when you’re needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for a reply, she shot forward toward the front cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Car 5, Da Lou’s face was grim—this wasn’t at all what he’d expected. Beside him, Lu Xingchen lifted his eye patch, frowning deeply: “Looks like a demon. This is tricky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously encountered Guiti  were mostly beasts that lunged to bite and devour—those could be obliterated with firepower alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that ocean-liner roar exploded across the wilderness, carrying potent infection from the Dark Invasion—utterly unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian returned the Hetero Cube to its mount—his expression now grave. Had it not been for this device on his vehicle, someone in the carriage would already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first time witnessing close-range Dark Mutation in personnel. No wonder convoys collapsed so easily—internal outbreaks rendered steel defenses useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if all three Eagle convoys returned to their vehicles, they only lessened the threat—they couldn’t fully block it like the Infinite could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan walked over: “That thing is right above us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oooommm~~~!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humming rose again from the sky—the vibrating waves made the entire space tingle; instantly, every convoy around the train opened fire upward, gunfire nearly lighting up the entire camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the sound carried a strange tone, enveloping the Infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhhh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From every direction of the camp, darkness erupted with countless rustling sounds—growing louder, drawing nearer, swelling into a tidal wave, a thunderous surge like a flood crashing against the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhenhai, seated in his vehicle, heard the sound—his face darkened, and he grabbed his radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone be careful—it’s an insect swarm!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the Great Eagle convoy were intimately familiar with this noise—they had just encountered it last night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warning instantly spread to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Form a defensive line!” Liao Ming shouted immediately, restarting the vehicle and readjusting its orientation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Bai, A Min, Luo Luo, drive toward the Infinite! Li Guangwen, use the defense vehicle to block the front!” Luo Yang also sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several heavy engineering vehicles moved toward the three directions, positioning themselves to the left, right, and rear of the Infinite and the convoy. Liang Lei shouted through his radio: “These are our unmanned fortress vehicles—heavy firepower is all at the back; protect the front line!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hssss, wuuuu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the unmanned engineering vehicles, over a dozen 12.7mm heavy automatic machine guns rapidly rose into position, while several young men on Liang Lei’s truck operated them remotely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Infinite, Kiki arrived at Information Center No. 2 and immediately began searching for the red-light monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Xian activated his external armor and electric blades, shouting to the entire Chexiang : “Everyone, don’t let the insect swarm breach the convoy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic blast doors of Carriages No. 5 and No. 11 opened. Da Lou, Lu Chang, and three other team members armed with Roar K23 electric rotary machine guns took position at the entrances. Lu Xingchen rode the elevator to the roof, cracked his knuckles, and scanned the surrounding darkness with boundless battle intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziziziz~ Boomboomboom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrieks of unknown insects and the deafening rustling of countless crawling bodies began to drown out all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning the area, Kiki suddenly spotted the red glow again—high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be what triggered the swarm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up immediately: “I’m flying up to find it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could rise, Lin Xian grabbed her ankle and yanked her back down: “Get down here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Lin Xian raised the G3 electromagnetic railgun’s firing angle and fired again at the red light above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuu! Ziiii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcs exploded, filling the air around Carriage No. 2 with ionized static. A blinding blue beam pierced the sky, illuminating a massive shadow high above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several seconds passed before the explosion’s sound reached them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike silenced the deafening horn again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Set a lock-on system—keep this railgun locked on that red head. Deal with the swarm first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ohhh, brilliant idea~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, still dragged by her ankle, didn’t argue—she immediately began reprogramming the railgun. “Team Leader Lin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rear carriages, Shu Qin stood at the door of Carriage No. 11, gazing into the distant darkness, and pressed her comm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bugs are coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duuuuu!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1130, equipped with radar and fire control, fired the first kill signal—a fan-shaped torrent of metal projectiles rained out, casing shells violently ejected onto the vehicle roofs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tracers’ glow instantly revealed a horrifying scene before every waiting convoy member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than two kilometers away, in the darkness, countless giant scythe insects, black-winged beetles, and massive centipedes surged forward like a tidal wave—swarming like locusts, rolling like floodwaters, shaking the very ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even members of the Infinite convoy who had witnessed the assault on Yubei Airport drew sharp breaths at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duuu!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1130’s gunfire roared, turning the entire convoy camp into a silent, suffocating eye of the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open fire!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, Wu Zhenhai, Luo Yang, and Liang Lei—the four convoy leaders—gripped their comms and issued the fire order simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poompoompoom!! Tatatatat!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All weapons fired at once, creating a four-sided wall of bullets and shells around the Infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoshwhoshwhosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furious metal torrents obliterated the leading insects instantly, their overwhelming force halting the swarm’s charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, each convoy’s heavy weapons—howitzers, rockets, flamethrowers, missiles—poured fire mercilessly into the densest clusters of the swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boomboomboom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions and fire erupted like dazzling fireworks, instantly blazing across the land; smoke filled the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuu… chchch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Carriage No. 11, Xiao Yuan and her team were firing furiously when the Fire God mech behind them suddenly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yuan, move aside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Sha, piloting Sally, climbed out of the automatic blast door in a climbing motion, her control over the mech astonishingly precise. She leapt off the train and opened fire with both handheld weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch this!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cockpit, Sha Sha gritted her teeth, maneuvering the heavy mech she’d barely touched half a day ago—its Fire God cannons and main turret already accurately reaping insects from the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rising Sun convoy, with fewer personnel and heavier pressure, suddenly felt relief as Sha Sha’s Fire God mech appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yang turned back, eyes wide: “Whoa! Lin Brother’s crew has Gundam?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuu, ziiii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite’s electromagnetic railgun kept tracking and firing at the massive red shadow in the sky without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the terrifying sonic wave gone, Luo Yang seized the moment: “A Min, Luo Luo, deploy! Li Guangwen, suppress the front!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skrrt skrrt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than two agile figures leapt from the convoy, trailing arcs of electricity. Each wielded a slender white chain-sword; they met midair, pulling a high-voltage arc, then plunged into the swarm like a cutting blade—vanishing in an instant, slicing dozens of monsters cleanly in half, their charred, steaming stumps oozing foul-smelling fluids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got the left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got the right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women moved in perfect sync; their armor’s auto-tracking turrets and battlefield awareness systems locked every insect around them. Like phantoms, they darted through the swarm, reaping monsters with their chain-swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziziziz~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant centipede burst from the swarm, lunging straight at A Min.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a muscular youth, resembling a bodybuilder, leapt from behind A Min and Luo Luo like a beast. He wore a bizarre gauntlet. He landed with a thud, swung his fist in a wide arc—and the centipede was struck mid-air by invisible force. Its layered armor shattered, and internal organs exploded out its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Guangwen, conserve your energy! There’s a big one up there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yang shouted. Above, countless black-winged beetles swarmed down. He pressed one finger to one eye; the other glowed blinding white—a thin beam shot out, sweeping across the sky, triggering a cascade of explosions overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boomboomboom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh… huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as his ability finished firing, he shut his eyes and gasped for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the black-winged beetles seemed endless—after a brief suppression, they surged again. Dozens of them were still vastly outnumbered by the swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!! Yaaaaaahhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Sha drove the Fire God mech forward, helping A Min and Luo Luo suppress the overwhelming numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duuu!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire God’s cannons swept a circle—erasing a whole patch of insects in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too many bugs!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Sha screamed from the cockpit: “You fire-breather, if you don’t show up, I’ll dump your tea pot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Rising Sun convoy and Sha Sha felt overwhelming pressure, a towering inferno lit the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Master has arrived!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blazing crimson flame shot from the Infinite, soaring past A Min and Luo Luo—two women in powered armor—and landed squarely at the swarm’s densest front. Like a meteor striking earth, it erupted in fire, a wave of flame surging like molten earth to the heavens, incinerating every insect within hundreds of meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen stood calmly at the fire’s center, back turned to the two women, his voice ringing clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This filthy, corrupt world—I, the Divine, shall cleanse it today, burning away all demons and evil!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poompoom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Sha fired two rounds, then stopped, glaring at the sight with clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy just loves showing off in front of girls~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yang, Li Guangwen, and the other Rising Sun psychics stared in shock. They’d heard from Liao Ming that the Infinite convoy was powerful—but they never imagined they had a high-tier fire psych!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liao Brother’s ‘firepower’? THIS is firepower?!” Luo Yang cried, eyes blazing with awe and admiration. “Everyone, stand firm—we can hold them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dramatic sight instantly lifted every defender’s spirits; morale surged as they redoubled their efforts to hold the swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the train’s right flank, the Great Eagle convoy had the most personnel and the heaviest firepower—machine guns, rocket launchers, howitzers, missiles, and flamethrowers poured out nonstop. Over twenty elite fighters held the front line, suppressing the skyward swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou emptied a magazine, didn’t bother reloading—he grabbed his steel-slicing greatsword and charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle at the research lab, he’d discovered his ability grew stronger with blood loss and injury—his strength and recovery now mirrored Qiu Long of the Black Crow quartet, growing fiercer the more he fought. He began deliberately engaging in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Eagle convoy watched in surprise as Da Lou, sword in hand, charged alone into the insect horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side of the Big Eagle convoy, they saw the building master charge alone into the insect swarm, brandishing a great sword, and their faces changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poompoompoom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Ming, whose limbs had mutated into twin scythe arms, was a limb-type psych. Seeing Da Lou charge, he shouted: “Brother, be careful—these things are nearly impossible to kill with cold weapons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Ming, who had undergone a transformation into a being with two scythe-like arms, was a Strange Limb ability user; seeing the building charge toward them, he immediately shouted, “Brother, be careful—these things are hard to kill with cold weapons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building remained silent; as soon as he rushed in, he was surrounded by several black-winged beetles, blood and flesh wounds appearing continuously across his body. Liao Ming immediately prepared to rush forward to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark shadow shot past, arriving ahead of Liao Ming—under the terrifying power of the M96 Holy Flame of Exorcism, the several black-winged beetles were instantly blown to shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin held a Remington shotgun, each crafted by Lin Xian, in both hands, firing left and right in rapid succession; within moments, the swarming insects were driven back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Daliu’s entire body was drenched in crimson blood qi; suddenly, his aura surged—he raised his Steel-Cleaving Greatsword, stomped forward with a thud, let out a low roar, tensed every muscle, and swung both hands forward with all his might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slash was immensely powerful and heavy; the blade itself glowed red-hot from the air’s friction. The crimson blood qi wrapped around the blade erupted outward, forming a fan-shaped wave of cleaving force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scraping sound rang out, followed by a cacophony of shattered carapaces—within meters before him, all manner of monstrous insects exploded instantly. The shockwave blasted outward, hurling their shattered corpses and limbs away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awesome!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Ming’s eyes widened; he hastily retracted his scythe-long arm, afraid of being caught in that sword wave just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daliu, his aura surging, stood before the abandoned engineering vehicle, wielding his Steel-Cleaving Greatsword and holding back the insect tide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll help you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Ming’s blood boiled—he charged forward with his elite team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhenhai mowed down the enemy with the vehicle-mounted Gatling gun; seeing Liao Ming and Daliu link up, he immediately ordered over the radio:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bombard the convoy! Advance the barrage! Cover them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Copy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missiles from the rear convoy began providing heavy fire support; since the men ahead were all psychics, their firepower exploded in progressive waves just in front of Daliu, Shu Qin, and Liao Ming’s team, carving out a wide open battlefield and forming a wedge-shaped advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the Infinite, several fully loaded buses were protected deep inside, while the outer perimeter consisted of reinforced trucks and modified engineering vehicles forming defensive barriers. Half of Liang Lei and Li Yi’s convoy were women and children, so most vehicle-mounted weapons were operated remotely by a group of young boys; the only actual combat force consisted of Liang Lei and two dozen young men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, their position at the rear of the Infinite was shielded by the 1130 CIWS and supported by heavy fire from numerous Infinite convoy members, barely holding back the first wave of the insect tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Lei was a psychic with full alloy transformation; his body swelled to a height surpassing even Daliu’s. Under heavy fire cover, he charged into the insect tide, gripping a massive crimson centipede’s mandible. The centipede coiled around him, its sharp legs scraping sparks from his alloyed skin—but failed to pierce him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Lei roared, released one hand, plunged it into the centipede’s mouth, seized a chunk of flesh on its upper jaw, and ripped it violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack! A large piece of flesh tore free; the centipede shrieked in agony, preparing to bite back—only to be kicked away by Liang Lei’s foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taptaptap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the rear support fire precisely struck the centipede’s face and mouthparts, instantly blasting its head into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Lei turned back—Li Yi stood atop the vehicle, covering him with the vehicle-mounted autocannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leizi, behind you!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi shouted. Liang Lei had no time to react—he turned just in time to see a giant beetle flying toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last possible moment, a figure leapt past wielding an electric blade, slicing clean through the beetle’s hardened carapace and head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another one, Chen Team Leader!” As soon as he landed, Lu Chang dropped his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunderous report of a heavy sniper rifle echoed—a giant winged beetle flying above Lu Chang and Liang Lei was shot apart midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special alloy-piercing rounds from Meteor 3!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the roof of the Infinite, Chen Sixuan maintained a crouched firing stance, her face icy, constantly targeting large, dangerous insects. Every shot landed precisely. Meteor 3 was even more powerful than the A33K anti-materiel rifle; its smart recoil system allowed her to increase firing speed while maintaining stability, and its electro-optical sight rapidly locked onto targets within range, releasing death-piercing rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lu held dual pistols, standing behind Chen Sixuan, eliminating flying winged beetles and flying ants approaching from above. The two had partnered before and now moved with growing Moqi .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a deep, bell-like hum echoed from the sky, like a tidal wave rolling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan frowned, immediately raised her rifle, and activated the long-range night vision system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen shifted—she saw a massive, cloud-like swarm of flying monstrous insects surging from the darkness toward the entire convoy and the Infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aerial insect tide blanketed the sky, completely obscuring the starlight and moonlight; the dense thrumming of wings sent chills down everyone’s spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan’s face darkened; she shouted downward: “Watch out above!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Li Yi immediately raised the vehicle-mounted machine gun and opened fire skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leizi, retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pursuit and Eagle convoys also sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1130 CIWS fired upward; under the glow of tracer rounds, the cloud-like insect swarm filled everyone with icy dread—a crushing sense of suffocation descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flamethrowers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire upward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reload! Reload!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ground can’t hold anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fall back! Fall back!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was in dire peril, the air began to tremble slightly—many noticed the dust on the ground was levitating against gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li Yi spun around—on the roof of the Infinite, a purple-haired girl floated in midair, her eyes glowing brilliantly, her hair stirring without wind, radiating an aura of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose into the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of
