Chapter 405: Danger! (110,000)
*Boom-boom-boom. * In the sky of Dawn City, red thunder flashed in the black clouds. That was not the original color of the thunder, but the sky burned red by smoke and fire!
At this moment, in Dawn City, the Silent City and the Heaven-Suppressing Ship were already patrolling and maneuvering in the sky. From the largest atmospheric creature above the black clouds, bizarre red spikes like meteorites constantly broke through the sky, and countless ships and air patrol fighters crashed.
A sub-nuclear device was fired from the Phoenix Society's ground anti-aircraft position, accelerating to hypersonic speed in a short time, and then went straight above the clouds.
*Boom! *
A giant circular explosion cloud that illuminated half the sky lit up in the thunderclouds, like a white hole that instantly appeared above Dawn City. The destructive shockwave directly evaporated the clouds and overcast rain, blasting a visible empty area out of the dark sky.
On the Silent City, Qian Su Xun looked at the horizon where even the air had been drawn into a semi-vacuum. The atmospheric creature had only just revealed half of its torso at this time, like an ancient monster from the depths of the sea in mythology. Countless tentacles like skyscrapers probed down from the clouds, strangling the human fleet.
On the main bridge, Mochizuki Zhensi, who was observing the energy fluctuations of the 【Sky Tentacle】, immediately manipulated the Silent City to fire a Hyperion directional constraint cannon the moment the sub-nuclear weapon exploded!
The white giant missile erupted with a sonic boom that broke the sound barrier, as if tearing through the dark firmament, arriving above the front line in an instant. Subsequently, it erupted with a vector pulse, turning vertically instantly. In an instant, six petal-like energy focusers unfolded at the bottom of the missile, the core in the center began to rotate, erupting with blinding white light, aiming at the tentacle core life part of the atmospheric creature, and erupting with an energy torrent like a solar corona!
Mochizuki Zhensi's judgment was indeed effective. At this moment, the atmospheric creature, which had withstood the energy explosion of the sub-nuclear weapon and had not yet regenerated its defensive force field, was directly pierced by the energy beam of the space-based weapon. The violent light was like a sharp sword high in the sky, directly piercing through the sky within a range of several kilometers. For a time, the countless tentacles hanging down from the clouds all began to twist crazily.
And at this moment, following the precise hit of the Hyperion directional constraint cannon, the sky suddenly quieted down. When all the fleet artillery fired densely upward, the survivors in the city district below looked up and shockingly discovered that something was falling from above the clouds!
"Something fell down!"
"In the direction of the Morning Glow District!"
"Be careful!"
*Clatter-clatter. * In the black clouds, an object burning with flames crashed down. Mochizuki Zhensi's observation system immediately focused, only to discover that it was actually a biological tissue block connected to three giant tentacles, falling from the sky like a meteorite at this moment!
And in the street district below, the Garrison Army company responsible for guarding the dozen or so convoy defense lines immediately called out on the action channel.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Something is crashing down!"
*Clatter-clatter. * In an instant, the people on the street defense line all ran toward the distance in a swarm. But the giant biological tissue in the sky was like two skyscrapers falling from the sky; these ordinary people simply couldn't outrun the falling speed.
At this moment in the sky, several figures arrived together. Lu Xingchen was like a flying meteor, flashing a straight line of fire over the dark city sky. His whole body was burning, the Mach ring behind him spraying, sweeping directly toward the falling biological tissue, his hands gathering fire and spraying two sky-burning fires!
"Divine · Incineration!"
*Boom! * The monstrous fire directly burned the biological tissue into several pieces, stirring it into thick slurry and evaporating it.
At the same time, Kiki and Jiang Yun used their abilities respectively, sweeping the survivors and soldiers of four street districts away at the critical moment. Thousands of people only felt themselves being swept up by a violent wind, subsequently escaping from beneath those giant split tissues.
*Boom-boom-boom. * The giant biological tissue block crashed and destroyed large areas of street buildings, the ground dust flying into the sky. Even all the survivors defending in the surrounding dozens of street districts were swept up by the rushing dust.
"Shot down a part of it!" Kiki looked at the sky and said panting.
"Not enough!" Jiang Yun looked at the large areas of destroyed street districts at this moment and said solemnly: "More and more are surging into the city. It seems the city walls in the west and south of the city won't be able to hold for much longer."
On the Silent City, Mochizuki Zhensi's gaze was sharp. On the monitor, the atmospheric creature above the clouds was rapidly hiding into higher altitudes. At the same time, those bizarre entities filling the sky seemed to have received some kind of command, all gathering together to swoop toward the Silent City and the Heaven-Suppressing Ship fleet in a covering posture.
*Boom-boom-boom! *
Facing this large-scale impact, the radar of all fleets could only raise all firepower artillery muzzles, firing rapidly toward the sky!
*Click-click-click. *
Inside the communicator, Chen Sixuan's voice from the Infinite came at this moment: "Large-scale bizarre entities are appearing one after another in the north of the city, attacking the city wall. Those monsters are trying to surround the entire city!"
On the city's fourth-ring light rail of Dawn City, a heavy train like a black dragon was speeding. Sparks were flying on the tracks. All the windows of the train were open, and thousands of members of the Infinite Alliance on the roof and inside the carriages were fighting crazily.
Xiang Xiang Ningjing, Shu Qin, Xiao Qing, Luo Luo, A-Min, Lv Chang, and Miao Lu, gene evolutionists wearing power armor, were constantly moving on the train, maneuvering and firing.
*Bang! *
On the roof of Carriage No. 1 of the Infinite, Chen Sixuan, wearing Black Hawk power armor, pierced through two flying winged beasts with one shot. She observed the intense artillery light and countless monster shadows climbing on the high wall in the north of the city and immediately said in the communicator: "The reserve troops have all reinforced over there. The mecha regiment is all concentrated in the south and west of the city. It's estimated that they won't be able to hold for much longer over there!"
At the tail of the joint convoy, Sasha, who was manipulating the Interstellar Hunter, said at this moment: "Then let's go over and help!"
"Good!" Xiang Xiang Ningjing also responded at this moment: "If City Wall No. 1 falls, everyone retreat toward the inner city area of City Wall No. 2!"
On the street below, a convoy assembled with heavy armed base vehicles was swimming and sprinting on the city's main thoroughfare, clearing monsters on the ground and in the sky along the way. This convoy was the 【Iron Sun】 convoy pulled together by Jian Zeyang in the outer city area. Most of the vehicle weapon resources came from the Finger Group, but the team was mainly concentrated from the main forces of those poor convoys in the outer city area.
In the first vehicle, Jian Zeyang let Ke Zai drive the vehicle to the limit, while he manipulated a large pulse cannon to constantly kill monsters.
"Iron Sun team, charge with me!" In this desperate night, Jian Zeyang was fearful but also carried a bit of excitement. This was the first hard battle he had fought as a convoy leader, and this hard battle was directly related to the survival of everyone.
"Just sweep around the defense port of this underground shelter. Don't let those monsters rush into the shelter!" Jian Zeyang shouted.
"Zeyang!"
Jian Xuwei, far away at the Star City Orbital Station, saw the dense fire-burning sky in the east of the city at this moment and said to him on the channel: "The city wall might be broken. Your convoy needs to pay attention to safety!"
"If the city wall is broken, we're finished. There's no safety, sis!" Jian Zeyang fired pulse beams toward the sky with a boom, shouting loudly.
In the Twin Star Tower command hub, from the start of the battle until now, Ye Lan had been standing in front of the command screen, unmoved. Battle reports were constantly coming in, but the situation was not optimistic.
Since the Apocalypse Day, humanity had never encountered such a large-scale bizarre entity tide siege, or rather, had never triggered a war of this level. But countless Phoenix Society high-level officials and staff in the command center looked at the battlefield situation at this moment, and their hearts all hung in the air.
This scale of world destruction was definitely the first frontal impact launched by the Star Abyss, and it also indeed confirmed the intelligence conclusions of the Crescent Moon Project operation.
This was a test of humanity by the dark civilization.
And it was the last time.
"Never mind the S-rank dispatching, this magnitude is simply like it's endless." Xu Zhenyue frowned, looking at the situation on dozens of combat screens, and said: "After fighting for so long, the monsters in the darkness are like they are inexhaustible..."
Ye Lan said slowly: "But our soldiers lose one for every one that dies."
Xu Zhenyue said sternly: "According to our investigation, bizarre entities below the special-grade or A-grade are all mass-produced by the 'Mother Nest' in the Star Abyss. According to the time dilation inside, it can be said that thousands of monsters are 'produced' every minute, and S-ranks will absorb the energy of these monsters to constantly repair and strengthen themselves. If our firepower cannot break this cycle, the city falling is only a matter of time."
Former Federation Senator Xu Yan also said with a heavy expression at this moment: "The mutations in the city are also becoming more and more serious. Mutations have also appeared one after another among soldiers on the front line of City Wall No. 1. The darkness invasion concentration is too high."
"Report: A large number of bizarre entity tides have begun to gather from the north and east of the city!"
"Report: Firepower in the north of the city is in an emergency!"
Xu Zhenyue frowned upon hearing this: "Are there other S-ranks appearing?"
"None discovered yet."
Xu Zhenyue said in a deep voice: "They should all have been attracted by the city wall firepower. The firepower in the south and west of the city is too strong. Those monsters couldn't break through, so they diverted to surround the entire city to find breakthrough gaps! The main forces of the Garrison Army and the Iron Guard Brigade are all concentrated on the S-rank side. If the rear falls, the city will be in complete chaos!"
After speaking, he immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange for the reserve regiment and the defense groups in the city to coordinate the defense of the north and east defense sectors."
"Yes!"
"All directions are surrounded..." Ye Lan looked at the real-time images of the front line engaging the enemy in the east and north of the city. Those monsters surging out from the darkness in large areas seemed to be surrounding Dawn City in all directions. He frowned and said: "This doesn't look entirely like they were diverted over. With such a large-scale monster tide, if they were surrounding, they wouldn't have waited until now."
Ye Lan turned his head: "It looks more like they received some kind of command signal..."
At this moment, everyone felt as if the air were suffocating.
In the west of the city, Sector 8, the original western suburb area, the Zhu Que, holding two Zhu Que plasma diffraction swords, crashed through pieces of city streets at high speed, colliding and shattering large areas of the bizarre entity tide, maneuvering around the flank of the No. 18 creature 【Wanderer】.
That multi-legged creature, seemingly a twisted creature composed of long legs, had a scarlet mouthpart like an abyss on its front head. It was impossible to distinguish eyes or other parts. The area around the mouthpart was full of dense, sharp limbs constantly wriggling back and forth. Every time the scarlet mouthpart surged, it would spray a cluster-like gray-green smoke, corroding large areas of buildings.
Because of this, the mecha division and special maneuver battalion commanded by Huo Jiang could only avoid its sharp edge and could only conduct long-range strikes.
"Try cutting off a few legs first!"
In the cockpit of the Zhu Que, Bai Ye proposed a strategy.
"Good!"
*Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! *
At this moment, behind the Emperor-Zhu Que, 6 self-patrolling thermite bombs unfolded like the wings of a Zhu Que, sliding an accurate arc in the air, and then concentrated and bombarded toward the 【Wanderer】. Before the thermite bombs arrived, a defensive force field like black glass appeared on this terrifying and ugly bizarre entity in an irregular polyhedral structure.
But the couple Bai Ye and Su Rui had already witnessed the power of its defensive force field before. This time, the thermite bombs exploded directly in the air. It was seen that on the battlefield, like meteor brilliance, the high-brightness thermite agent illuminated the sky, splashing down like a waterfall.
【Wanderer】 emitted a painful cry, the scarlet mouthpart spraying acid mist to cover the direction of the Zhu Que. But at this moment, the Zhu Que was already no longer in its original place. In a cloud of smoke behind, the Zhu Que, flowing with crimson energy lines, held two Zhu Que plasma diffraction swords and jumped out directly with a precise posture!
"Storm Tactics!"
"Storm Tactics!"
The couple Bai Ye and Su Rui shouted simultaneously. The two plasma diffraction swords crossed, their arms waving. As the acid mist defensive force field disappeared, they directly cut off the thickest long leg of the 【Wanderer】 in the air. Subsequently, multiple power thrusters on the Zhu Que opened, spraying violently, adjusting its posture in the air, rotating the mecha body, and the two plasma diffraction swords spiraled and slashed past, cutting four giant gashes into it rapidly.
*Pfft! *
In an instant, black-green fishy liquid sprayed out. 【Wanderer】 twisted crazily. And at this moment, the multi-legged giant monster suddenly twisted its body, a long leg covered in acid on its back reversed, whipping directly from behind the Zhu Que.
"Unload force!"
"Liquid nitrogen spray!"
At this moment, the couple Bai Ye and Su Rui, who had completely failed to dodge, immediately adjusted the mecha posture, their upper bodies twisting, arms crossing to block. At the same time, when the acid began to spray and corrode the Zhu Que's composite armor, a large amount of white liquid nitrogen sprayed from their arms, freezing all the surging acid mist and the liquid on the skin surface. However, the entire mecha was still blasted away, crashing through pieces of city building ruins and sliding for hundreds of meters.
In an instant, countless bizarre entities surged toward the Zhu Que like ants. In the cockpit, Bai Ye, who had recovered some of his senses, immediately reached out and pressed an operation button.
*Boom! *
The joints of the Zhu Que's whole body sprayed powerful plasma flame torrents at this moment. Under the high temperature, a piece of bizarre entities was instantly burned away.
"Su Rui, wake up!"
Bai Ye called his wife awake. The powerful shockwave caused both of them to suffer mental power tremors, nosebleeds flowing. But at this moment, they couldn't care about these. The two stood up again, unfolding the plasma diffraction swords. Under the searchlight, only black-gray thick fog could be seen merging completely with the night, rapidly drifting toward the Zhu Que and even the pieces of mecha divisions and city walls behind under a strong wind.
"Dodge the acid mist!" Su Rui shouted. The couple coordinated and retreated violently, but the acid mist had already surged past the front of the Zhu Que. In an instant, the composite armor plates on the front and right leg of the mecha began to melt and collapse, and the alarm in the cockpit was ear-piercing.
"Vertical jump!"
The couple gritted their teeth and shouted, bending their legs at the same time. The leg propulsion unit of the Zhu Que activated immediately. Accompanied by hydraulic ejection force, the entire 22,000-ton mecha jumped directly on the spot.
And behind, the pieces of mecha groups of the Iron Guard Brigade were shrouded in acid mist at this moment. Large amounts of mecha metal shells began to corrode and dissolve. Countless soldiers were rapidly exposed to the acid mist and corrosive poisonous gas, dying while screaming.
City Wall No. 1 was even more tragic. The acid mist swept through a range of nearly one kilometer of the city wall. The soldiers defending on it were almost annihilated into powder in a few seconds. Automatic artillery and base turrets left offline and disappeared one after another.
"Run!"
"Dodge!"
Countless people didn't even make a sound before they disappeared. At this moment, some soldiers who had escaped the disaster on the city wall climbed up, looked at the deathly silent city wall, and didn't even have time to be afraid before the commander rushed up immediately.
"Don't just stand there, set up the weapons again!"
"Anti-aircraft cover!"
A large number of soldiers rushed into the death zone just now again, filling the city defense gaps. But just as they rushed over, countless bizarre entities in the darkness had already climbed onto the city wall. Dense mist spiders emitted thick fog, and the bizarre entities began to spread like a tide.
In Sector 5 south of the city, on the original bank of the Dawn Pujiang River, in the sky full of smoke and dust, the No. 11 S-rank creature 【Earth Surge】 emitted a sky-shaking roar. It was like a giant underground monster revived from a volcano, causing large-scale earthquakes while roaring and advancing, and all the city buildings in the surroundings were shaken into rubble.
Its heavy tissue outer layer was like a mountain, and thick gray-black thick smoke constantly emitted from the cracks in the hills, gullies, and carapace. Even after missile bombardment, it only brought up a piece of stone-like debris.
It moved like a mountain, ignoring all firepower sweeping and constantly moving forward. The bizarre entities surrounding it were like water, flowing under its body and then attacking toward the multiple city wall ranges in the southern part of Dawn City.
*Dong-dong-dong! *
In the smoke, a sky-shaking sound of footsteps rang out. A super-large mecha, deep blue all over and with two nuclear power hubs, rushed out violently. Its left arm was held in front. The Emperor—Inside Inside Xuanwu held a giant magnetic rail shield and rushed over directly. The 【Earth Surge】 sensed the threat approaching and immediately lowered its head, revealing monster horns like mountain ridges, *buzz-buzz-buzz* constantly vibrating out large areas of invisible infrasound waves, and even the air in the fan-shaped area in front became distorted.
"Charge!"
Located in the cockpit of the Inside Inside Xuanwu, the Qin Yue and Qin Chuan brothers gritted their teeth. The magnetic rail shield withstood the violent infrasound waves, and the right arm reached out. A giant high-frequency blade chain sword of dozens of meters slid out from the mecha arm, the hydraulic sword spine retracted, and arcs flickered!
"Decapitation!"
"Decapitation!"
The two brothers shouted, raised the chain sword high, and slashed down sharply from the head and neck of the 【Earth Surge】!
*Scrape-scrape-scrape! *
Under an ear-piercing and sharp slashing sound, the chain sword was like cutting through high-rise buildings, slashing off a large piece of the 'mountain peaks' on the head of the 【Earth Surge】. Countless stone-like cuticles crashed down, but this thunderous sword actually didn't see half a blood color or the internal tissue of the 【Earth Surge】. Seeing this, the Qin brothers immediately gripped their right hands, retracted the high-frequency blade chain sword, *scrape-scrape-scrape~* The Inside Inside Xuanwu mecha smoothly raised its right arm, and the mechanical right hand's five fingers and wrist joints began to rapidly deform into a triangular plasma phase ring.
"Activate plasma plasma cannon!"
"Activate plasma plasma cannon!"
*Boom-boom-boom. * In an instant, three plasma cannons blasted directly onto the face of the 【Earth Surge】. The plasma with a high temperature of thousands of degrees exploded, and the azure ionized light illuminated the entire area.
【Earth Surge】 gave a dull shout, was shaken back two steps by the Inside Inside Xuanwu, and the ground trembled.
"Firepower coverage!"
Seeing this, the Qin brothers immediately shouted. At this moment, beside the Inside Inside Xuanwu, two 60-meter-class Interstellar Hunters appeared, setting up orbital star-shaking cannons. At the same time, hundreds of Iron Guard-3, Guardian-X, and Vulcan mechas formed a steel city wall, beginning to pour firepower toward the entire area!
In an instant, artillery screens, rays, flame spraying, and metal storms directly covered the 【Earth Surge】 along with large areas of monster tides. Two dazzling star-shaking cannon energy beams brought up two annihilation melting gullies on the ground, concentrating on the head of the 【Earth Surge】 with a boom.
At this moment, under this powerful firepower coverage, nearly 1/3 of the 'mountain peaks' and armor layers on the 【Earth Surge】 were plowed open, and countless body tissues exploded and flew!
"Finished it off?!"
After a round of artillery salvos lasting several minutes, the battlefield was filled with smoke and fire. At this moment, during the lull in firepower, the pilot of one of the Interstellar Hunters saw this scene and immediately opened his mouth on the communication frequency band.
"Wait!"
Qin Yue frowned at the bizarre energy fluctuations on the holographic interface and immediately shouted: "Prepare for impact!"
*Woo! *
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly discovered that the bizarre entity remains and black aura in the surroundings seemed to be controlled by some kind of powerful force, gathering toward the central area that had almost been blasted into a giant sinkhole by firepower at a very fast speed. A high-frequency energy sound shrieked, and the next moment, a giant dark red shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, instantly vibrating. This powerful shockwave directly blasted the large number of combat mechas of the Iron Guard Brigade and the Garrison Army away, and the smoke and dust on the ground blasted and spread toward the direction of several kilometers!
At this moment, only the Inside Inside Xuanwu and the two Interstellar Hunters withstood the shockwave. In an instant, the building rubble on the ground and the bizarre entity corpses were almost all leveled, directly forming an ash impact area with a diameter exceeding one kilometer!
*Beep-beep-beep. * Inside the cockpit of the Inside Inside Xuanwu, multiple alarms sounded simultaneously. The Qin brothers recovered from the shockwave at this moment, their gazes focused on the center. They saw that the 【Earth Surge】 was now covered with large areas of bizarre entity remains and skin, wrapped in a black liquid similar to asphalt, becoming pitch-black all over. On that bizarre head, two blood eyes emitted twisted fear fluctuations. With the changes in those 'asphalt', its body size seemed to have become even larger...
"Confirm battle situation: S-rank bizarre entity can absorb energy of the same kind for proliferation!"
Qin Yue's gaze trembled, and he immediately shouted in the communicator:
"Must complete the decapitation in one go!"
"Chain sword, prepare!"
The Inside Inside Xuanwu mecha raised the high-frequency blade chain sword again. But at this moment, the center of the impact area suddenly began to emit violent tremors, and a large amount of smoke and dust was raised. Qin Yue and his younger brother Qin Chuan sensed the abnormality at this moment and immediately fired two plasma plasma cannons. But as two bursts of plasma exploded in the center, they shockingly discovered that a giant sinkhole had appeared on the ground in the center, and the entire city district and the Pujiang River were surging under the earthquake.
Looking at the disappeared 【Earth Surge】, Qin Yue immediately looked at the seismic wave trend on the monitor and immediately changed his expression.
Because he actually saw two different seismic wave signals!
"Not good! Retreat!"
The Qin brothers' expressions changed urgently, and they immediately manipulated the Inside Inside Xuanwu mecha to retreat a few steps quickly. But at this moment, in the deep water of the Pujiang River behind, the water waves surged violently, and a hundred-meter-high dark giant object drilled out, its fangs reaching for the sky, directly tearing off the left arm of the Inside Inside Xuanwu mecha that was holding the magnetic rail shield!
"Oh no!!"
Qin Chuan shouted that it was bad. Qin Yue had already reacted, gritting his teeth and shouting:
"Horizontal slash!"
*Buzz! *
"Horizontal slash!"
*Boom-boom-boom. *
This underground giant worm didn't die from one strike and actually shrank into the ground rapidly, preparing to escape. How could Qin Yue and Qin Chuan let it go? But just as they raised the chain sword again, a towering giant shadow carrying an infrasound shockwave crashed into it and sent it flying.
【Earth Surge】!
At this moment, the underground giant worm drilled into the ground rapidly, the ground surging, and it headed directly toward the city wall several kilometers away. The Garrison Army over there had already sensed the anomaly, but it was simply too late. While the artillery was still roaring, the giant worm, still dripping with tissue fluid, drilled out from the ground with a boom, crashing toward City Wall No. 1. The city wall, covered in reinforced concrete, was instantly crashed into a giant gap, with cracks spreading everywhere.
*Buzz! *
An orbital star-shaking cannon fired from under the city wall on one side, piercing directly through the giant worm that was already dying. But at this moment, countless bizarre entity tides rushed toward the gap like a bursting dam.
"Ah!!!"
The Inside Inside Xuanwu withstood the impact of the Earth Surge, its torso supporting the ground, sliding all the way, all thousands of engine units on its body running at full power, the hydraulic drive columns creaking.
Seeing the city wall being raided, Qin Yue roared:
"Spray sword!"
Qin Chuan heard, and the two brothers synchronized immediately. The right arm chain sword retracted. While holding the Earth Surge, they punched its chin with one arm, and then the gate device behind the right arm opened, revealing 12 shock-blast engines!
"Ignite!"
"Ignite!"
"Ignite!"
"Ang!!!"
The Earth Surge emitted a painful low moan, opened its sharp mouth, and bit onto the Inside Inside Xuanwu's nuclear power turbine engine. In an instant, the chest armor exploded inch by inch.
Qin Yue and Qin Chuan saw this scene, their gazes meeting, incomparably tacit. The right arm chain sword released barbs to hook the head of the Earth Surge, and then they bent their arms and shouted!
"Core plasma spray!"
"Core plasma spray!"
*Woo!!! * At this moment, the niobium-titanium superconducting ring orange-yellow pulse at the nuclear power turbine engine mouth bitten by the Earth Surge began to heat up and erupt. The violent crimson plasma beam sprayed directly toward the mouthpart and face of the Earth Surge!
"Core plasma injection!"
Just as the Inside Inside Xuanwu was preparing to slash its head off directly, the 【Earth Surge】 opened its already charred mouthpart, and an invisible infrasound wave struck from the side again, directly impacting the Inside Inside Xuanwu, causing countless power components to explode and burn, crashing into a pile of rubble!
And the 【Earth Surge】 was completely enraged at this moment, roaring and rushing toward the Inside Inside Xuanwu again.
【Alarm, alarm, biological entity impact!】
Inside the cockpit of the Inside Inside Xuanwu, full of fragments and smoke, Qin Yue and Qin Chuan struggled to climb up.
"Prepare to engage the enemy!"
At this moment, Qin Yue's vision looked toward the city wall gap. At this moment, thousands of bizarre entities had already rushed into Dawn City and onto the city wall, and countless soldiers were fighting to the death.
"Plug the gap first!"
Qin Yue shouted, and he and Qin Chuan retracted the chain sword, grabbed the left arm and magnetic rail shield that had been torn off by the sneak attack on the ground, swung them horizontally, directly used the magnetic rail shield to shake away the 【Earth Surge】, and then swung them in a circle, throwing the left arm out empty. A few seconds later, under a powerful wind-breaking sound, the Inside Inside Xuanwu's giant magnetic rail shield and the entire left arm crashed down from the sky and inserted into the gap. In an instant, smoke and dust exploded, and countless bizarre entities were directly shattered!
At this moment, the city wall gap was blocked by more than half. But the 【Earth Surge】 seized this opportunity, and another close-range infrasound wave struck the Inside Inside Xuanwu, directly crashing it into the Pujiang River. The surging river water rapidly poured into the mecha, and the warning lights flickered...
"Report: A special-grade bizarre entity appeared in the south of the city. The Inside Inside Xuanwu was severely damaged and sank into the Pujiang River. Unable to search for survival signals."
"Special-grade? How many?"
"More than one. Two new biological fluctuations were discovered in the west of the city. It is highly likely that both are special-grade!"
West of the city!
More than 200,000 survivors in the city district were dispersed in dozens of street districts, fighting hard against the monsters surging into the city. Wang Hongyuan of the Infinite Alliance Hongyuan Business Alliance led the convoy to station in a commercial area, with artillery fire raging upstairs and downstairs.
"Why are there more and more in the city!" Wang Hongyuan held a rocket launcher, blasted away several monsters that drilled out on the street with one shot, and cursed:
"Captain, has that side fallen?"
"Which side?"
The little brother pointed toward the west of the city at this moment. Wang Hongyuan turned around to look at the city wall not far away, only to see that on the city wall stretching for several kilometers, large areas were on fire. Under the monstrous firelight, the terrifying bizarre entity tide was surging in densely from the city wall. Various large bizarre entities were destroying the main structure of the city wall. Large areas of the city wall had broken cracks, appearing with dense giant holes and gaps. Although countless soldiers were still resisting with all their might, the bizarre entities seemed to have surged into the city uncontrollably.
"Damn it, isn't there a big mecha over there? Where is the Zhu Que?!"
Wang Hongyuan's face turned pale. Before he finished speaking, a giant crimson flame suddenly exploded in the sky. A giant mecha crashed through a piece of city wall under a huge impact and then crashed into the city, directly turning several street districts into a piece of ruins and rubble. A giant dust explosion erupted, and the Zhu Que knelt on one knee in a broken street. At this moment, large pieces of mecha were burning.
*Woo! *
Hydraulic oil and coolant mixed with rainwater, forming a fluorescent blue pool of blood under their feet. Three hideous claw marks on the chest armor were half a meter deep, the metal edges twisted and curled due to high-temperature burning, revealing the flickering circuits and broken pipelines inside.
One Zhu Que plasma diffraction sword had already broken, and the shell of the turbine engine had been pierced by the monster's tail thorn. The damaged heat dissipation fins were sticking out like broken wings, but the roar of the core power furnace had not diminished.
"Bai Ye! Bai Ye!"
In the cockpit, Su Rui, with a face full of blood and filth, called out to Bai Ye, who was in a coma from the shock in the neural link. While facing the 【Wanderer】, the suddenly appearing two special-grade bizarre entities had caught the two off guard. Although relying on the Zhu Que's agile maneuverability, the entire body reacted quickly and was not directly dismembered, it was still severely damaged.
A violent wind swept over at this moment, rapidly extinguishing the flames burning on the Zhu Que. The ability combat team led by Qi Nuo gathered in the west of the city at this moment, power armor flying in the air. Kiki saw this scene with a solemn expression:
"The south of the city can't hold either. At least three or four special-grade bizarre entities have appeared. How are we supposed to deal with this?!"
"Plug the gap here first!" Qi Nuo said.
"The city wall is going to collapse, go reinforce quickly!" Some survivor convoys shouted.
"Quick, don't let the monsters into the city!"
"Charge!"
Countless voices converged in the survivor channel. Large numbers of Garrison Army and Iron Guard Brigade armored vehicles and troops began to reinforce toward the city wall gap. In the sky, on the ground, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of survivor convoy members converged into a steel torrent, running toward the city wall in the west of the city.
They couldn't care about anything anymore. There were their families and children in the shelters in the city. Once the city wall completely collapsed, countless lives would completely perish.
Lu Xingchen followed the ability team flying in the air, arrived at the city wall, and exerted the ability moves he had once been proud of with all his might, killing swarms of monsters. But he still couldn't stop the 100-meter-high City Wall No. 1 from being riddled with holes at this moment. Large structures began to collapse, and soldiers constantly fell from above in despair.
The city wall was trembling.
"Fire! Full firepower coverage!"
The commander's voice exploded in the communication channel. The next second, the artillery array on the city wall roared simultaneously. The blue light of the electromagnetic cannon tore through the night, the rocket tail flames poured down like a meteor shower, and high-explosive incendiary bombs blasted a sea of fire on the wasteland outside the city wall.
But what the firelight illuminated was the true nightmare.
Outside the city wall, endless bizarre entity monsters, various giant-sized bizarre entities surged out from the darkness, like a tide, but even more twisted than a tide.
Further away, there were even more—wriggling meat mountains, blood-colored vines covered in eyeballs, giant beasts pieced together from corpses...
"Can't hold it anymore..."
A man holding a gun had his eyes swallowed by fear. Looking at that desperate monster wave, his brain was left blank, and he retreated while trembling all over.
"Even the Emperor mechas can't beat them. Finished, completely finished..."
On the city wall, the Garrison Army soldiers who had run out of bullets constantly searched for weapons from the outposts. When he picked up a heavy machine gun and turned around again, a giant mouthpart like a scarlet abyss shockingly appeared in front of his vision, dense limb spikes surrounding it, like a hunting net, constantly catching the surrounding black aura into its mouth.
Seeing this scene, dozens of soldiers were completely stunned on the spot, beginning to be infected by the powerful darkness invasion, bloodshot eyes filling their vision.
"Fire Fist!"
*Boom. * Suddenly, a giant fire descended from the sky, impacting the giant mouthpart head-on. Lu Xingchen swept past rapidly and shouted to them:
"Heroes, do not give up!"
His urgent cry awakened this group of people from the edge of consciousness loss for a time. A group of people broke out in cold sweat, recovered their senses, and raised their guns to counterattack again.
Kiki flew over rapidly, grabbing large amounts of giant stones and building bodies to constantly plug those broken city wall gaps, while shouting to Lu Xingchen: "Watch out for that S-rank!"
Tens of thousands of teams composed of the Garrison Army, Iron Guard Brigade, ability users, and survivors advanced toward the city wall, attempting to block those monsters constantly surging into the city. But as the city wall damage became more and more frequent, the number of bizarre entities was like it was endless, the monstrous flood spreading infinitely. These converging teams began to be suppressed and retreated into the street districts, fighting street battles.
"The passage to Shelter No. 13 has been opened!"
"Save people quickly!"
The frequency band was chaotic. At the entrance of an underground shelter passage in the west of the city, a dozen convoys guarded the entire street district. At this moment, a steel convoy rushed out from the monster group, throwing powerful firepower and surrounding the entire street, forming a steel defense line again.
This was Jian Zeyang's Iron Sun convoy.
In the east of the city, an armed train stretched a 15-kilometer battle line on the intercity high-speed rail, resisting the bizarre entities densely surging in from the city wall. The tracks had already broken, and the train had also stopped. This was the Infinite Alliance Joint Train.
At 22:12, 1/4 of Dawn City had already fallen. Countless monsters surged into the city, and all the street defense lines were fighting to the death.
Large areas of districts began to fall, and large fleets in the sky constantly crashed.
In the west of the city, City Wall No. 1 collapsed in large areas, the ground surged, and a bizarre entity tide like a tsunami rushed over from the darkness.
"Emergency report: No. 11 creature 【Earth Surge】 in the direction of Sector 5 has disappeared from that area. The monitoring target is approaching the west of the city!"
"Both S-ranks are coming in from the west city wall!"
"Report: The Sky-Surveying Reconnaissance Plane detected a massive dark spirit-swaying value fluctuation in the west of the city!"
In the Twin Star Tower command center, the battle situation was nearing loss of control. Ye Lan looked at the images transmitted back by the Sky-Surveying Reconnaissance Plane with a cold expression. In the dark torrent, besides 【Wanderer】 and the gradually approaching seismic wave signal, about 60 kilometers in the northwest direction, a giant humanoid creature surging with violent darkness invasion fluctuations was swinging its arms and approaching rapidly. In the mountains, the air was trembling, coming toward Dawn City with an overwhelming momentum, resembling an evil god from hell!
At the same time, in the mountain valleys below, the dark torrent seemed to be driven forward all the way. They crossed mountains and ridges, crushing villages and towns. In the pitch-black night, they moved forward like a mudslide.
An extremely powerful darkness invasion infectivity spread rapidly. The soldiers and survivors resisting on the west city wall seemed to feel some kind of desperate and fearful creature approaching at this moment. The infection level in the city immediately soared to level 4, and thousands of people began to mutate in despair.
The Corpse Driver!
"The Corpse Driver has appeared!!!"
"Oh no..."
"The infection level has already reached level 4, the military can no longer hold it!"
"We can only retreat to guard City Wall No. 2!"
"Casualties are constantly increasing. The First Mecha Division of the Southern Garrison Army is about to be completely annihilated."
"If the Corpse Driver enters the city, it will definitely break through level 5 infection..."
In the command center, high-level officials shouted one after another.
Ye Lan, standing in front of the command screen, looked at the string of death numbers and the large red areas of the city out of control, and said to Su Jin without turning his head.
"Has the co-potential device received the signal?"
"Not yet!"
Su Jin looked at the 0% number on the device screen with a heavy expression.
"What is that?"
Just at this moment, Xu Yan suddenly asked.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed at this moment.
That was the monitoring prompt issued by the city wall long-range observers in the north and east of the city.
And at this moment, the soldiers fighting to the death on the city wall here suddenly discovered that in the darkness in the distance, lights seemed to be lighting up.
The commander confirmed that it was indeed lights.
Because that was the shape of headlights. At first, there were only dozens of such lights, but gradually, more and more lights pierced the darkness and lit up on the wilderness.
*Click-click. *
In the commander's communication frequency band, a sound began to rustle at this moment. He couldn't hear it clearly, possibly because of signal interference, so he turned up the volume.
"Dawn, this is Lin Qingyu of the Dawn Watcher Alliance. Pay attention to friend-or-foe identification. We are rushing to reinforce!"
"Dawn, this is the Wanderer Alliance, I am Yu Huaian! We are rushing to reinforce!"
The commander's breathing began to tremble. He frantically turned the communicator knob, and more voices surged out like a flood:
"We are the Wind-Speaker convoy..."
"The Joint Alliance is back, we have 150,000 people!"
"Dawn, this is Xu Yufei of the Steel Rampart..."
"Dawn Dawn, this is the All-Metal Frenzy convoy... distance 37 kilometers."
"Dawn, we are..."
"Protect Dawn City!!!"
"Dawn City belongs to our Longguo!!!"
"Screw the S-rank!"
"If we die, we die. Charge for me, everyone!"
On the city wall, the soldiers and survivors guarding Dawn City looked toward the distant darkness. They saw trucks, saw armored vehicles, saw off-road vehicles, base vehicles, buses...
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
On the dark wilderness, a torrent of light was galloping over. Countless headlights lit up in the darkness,
resembling a vast galaxy.
At the same time, in the Twin Star Tower command center, the data reception progress bar on Su Jin's co-potential device monitor, which had been motionless, suddenly changed from 0% to 1%.
Subsequently, an extremely weak signal echoed intermittently in the command hall.
"Secondary propulsion deceleration..."
"Re-entry attitude adjustment..."
"Calibrating landing point..."
"Dawn City pay attention..."
"Please prepare the entire city for impact!"
