Chapter 422

~9 min read 1,664 words

The sunset dyed the abandoned plaza blood-red. Vanessa's mechanical greatsword cut through the air, emitting a high-frequency hum. Facing two Split-Tailed Humans lunging at her, she lowered her posture, her boot soles sparking against the asphalt. Borrowing the force, she leaped three meters into the air. The mechanical blade expanded its second telescopic section, transforming into a two-meter-long vibrating light blade, and slashed toward the lead Split-Tailed Human with the force of a mountain-splitting blow. The monster, sensing the crisis, did not take it head-on but instead crossed its three barbed tails to block. The biological force field collided with the shockwave, bursting with blue-purple electric arcs, and the shockwave overturned the surrounding abandoned vehicles.

At the same time, behind her, Gadi's mechanical prosthetic eye locked onto that large red anomalous entity. Her burst gun fired in rapid succession, forcing the target back. The monster seemed to move in broken frames, twisting its joints in a bizarre way to avoid Gadi's burst gun. Then, only hearing a few cars emit metallic shrieks, the monster instantly crawled right in front of her, red smoke seeping from its long hands as it swung horizontally directly at Gadi.

In an instant, the mechanical joints on Gadi's body reacted quickly, and she leaned back directly. Then, the ejection grappling hook at her waist fired out, snagging a lamppost. The jet engine ignited, pulling her to fly in place and complete a 180-degree swing. She reloaded in mid-air, and with a "bang-bang," two more powerful burst rounds hit the red anomalous entity head-on, knocking it away. Immediately upon landing, she beckoned with one hand, and the front of a nearby motorcycle instantly fired two plasma jet hooks, piercing the chest bone of the other Split-Tailed Human that was attacking her from the side. The vehicle frame instantly expanded into an electric net, dragging the monster backward.

The third Split-Tailed Human seized the opportunity to pounce on Vanessa, but she anticipated it, leaning back and arching her waist. Using the mechanical greatsword as a fulcrum, she performed an aerial spin-kick, her alloy combat boot kicking the monster's jaw heavily. Borrowing the reaction force, she drew the sword and slashed upward. The blade vibrated at high frequency, tearing through the force field and carving a huge gash in the phantom from the crotch to the collarbone. Red blood sprayed out. After Vanessa landed, a flash of psionic light flickered in her eyes, and the sprayed blood was immediately isolated by an invisible force, then swept toward the other one with a shockwave.

Boom, boom, boom!

A cloud of smoke and dust exploded, and a fan-shaped shockwave area spanning dozens of meters appeared, pushing away the two anomalous entities along with countless abandoned cars and various debris.

At this moment, just as the two were locked in a fierce battle with these anomalous entities that appeared during the day, they did not notice that several onlookers had appeared for no reason on top of a high-rise building far from the plaza.

"It's daytime, yet these kinds of anomalous entities are appearing. They don't look like human-anomalies or zombies. Have anomalous entities evolved to this point?" Xiang Ningjing was checking the battle situation in the plaza with an electronic telescope, saying with a solemn expression: "And those anomalous entities look quite troublesome."

"They shouldn't be ordinary anomalous entities. These two have at least the strength of over 5,000 Destruction-class."

Xiaoqing, holding a gun-blade, stood at the edge of the building, her gaze fixed on the fighting in the distance: "The combat moves they are using have that kind of special fluctuation that the Phoenix Society says can be mastered after genetic evolution."

"Special fluctuation?" Fire Brother Lu Xingchen crossed his arms, his face full of seriousness: "Some kind of new ability?"

Xiaoqing glanced at him indifferently and didn't speak.

Xiang Ningjing, who was on the side, answered at this time: "After reaching the Destruction-class Spirit-Oscillation Value, many genetic evolutionaries have gradually discovered that their bodies can master a special biological force field resonance. According to the research of the Nightwalker organization, this might be somewhat similar to the biological force field of anomalous entities. Mastering this power can allow genetic evolutionaries to greatly improve their defensive capabilities, while their destructive power also far exceeds the limits of individual humans, so it was named Destruction-class."

Lu Xingchen had an expression of sudden realization upon hearing this. He hadn't cared about this point at all before, and then he looked at Abai on the side.

"Don't psionicists have it?"

Abai looked at him, indicating that she was innocent: "I... I don't know."

"You're already Angel-class; don't you know what changes you've had yourself?" Xiaoqing responded coldly.

"Stop discussing this." Xiang Ningjing interrupted, her gaze fixed on the plaza: "The information has already been synchronized to Lin Dui and the other squads. There are not only other survivors on this island but also anomalous entities that can appear during the day. We must be careful."

"Uh..." Lu Xingchen cleared his throat at this time, looked at the fighting in the distance, and said to Xiang Ningjing: "Do we need to intervene?"

"It looks like they can handle it for now. It's about to get dark, and it's unclear whether they are friends or foes. Let's not cause extra trouble for now." Xiang Ningjing said with a calm expression: "Lin Dui is coming over soon. Before that, let's not make a move."

Lu Xingchen nodded upon hearing this: "That's fine too."

After finishing, he looked at the fierce fighting below, crossed his arms, and said very solemnly: "Although seeing these evil spirits wreaking havoc in broad daylight, this venerable one, upholding the responsibility of subduing demons and eliminating evil, should burn them all to ashes, but Team Leader Ning's consideration is also quite thoughtful. Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer."

Xiaoqing, standing in front, couldn't help but curl her lip upon hearing this.

Just at this moment, the silent Abai suddenly raised her head, looked at the other side of the plaza, and said: "There are people over there!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the four of them immediately raised their heads to look. Sure enough, on the roof of a shopping mall in the distance, they saw several people with sneaky figures. Xiang Ningjing raised her electronic telescope and discovered that there were three people standing on the roof at this time, all wearing black power armor. The power armor seemed to have some kind of identical mark. At this moment, one of the three was setting up a sniper rifle, one was also observing with a telescope, and the last one was holding some kind of terminal, seemingly operating something.

"Their teammates?" Fire Brother said immediately upon seeing this scene.

"Probably not." Xiaoqing's gaze was solemn, and she frowned: "The gun is already set up, and the person is aiming at... not the anomalous entity."

Bang!

As soon as she finished speaking, the sniper on the roof of the shopping mall suddenly fired. At this moment, the black woman who was fighting fiercely in the plaza below was instantly hit by a huge kinetic energy. She seemed to have discovered something in advance, and her whole body flipped in the air. The armor-piercing bullet exploded on her shoulder, sparks flying everywhere. At the same time, the attack from the red anomalous entity had already arrived, hitting her head-on, and Gadi was directly smashed into a pile of ruins.

"Gadi!"

Vanessa used her mechanical greatsword to slash out a shockwave, cutting through the biological force field of the Split-Tailed Human that had just been cut in half in the middle, severing it at the waist. The Split-Tailed Human smashed into an abandoned car, blood spraying, and the extremely fast speed corroded the car into a half-cut, smoking frame.

At this moment, seeing her companion attacked, her first reaction was to raise her sword to block.

Clang!

The armor-piercing bullet exploded on the blade in front of her face. Immediately, the young girl leaped, and six small missiles on the motorcycle immediately whistled out, roaring toward the direction of the sniper rifle. At the same time, a cloud of smoke and dust exploded in the ruins. Gadi quickly rushed out from it, her grappling hook nailed into the wall of the shopping mall, and then she rushed toward the three people at an extremely fast speed.

"Damn it!"

Bang, bang!

The sniper fired two shots in a row but didn't hit. Vanessa's missiles immediately exploded into a fire cloud on the roof of the shopping mall. The sniper was knocked over by the shockwave. The other two black-clad power armor warriors immediately launched a counterattack. One drew a high-frequency vibrating blade, and the other's arm armor transformed into a rapid-fire machine cannon, bullets pouring down like a rainstorm.

Gadi's grappling hook had already nailed into the wall. She borrowed the force to leap into the air, her burst gun firing three shots in succession, accurately piercing the power core of the machine gunner. The other person also rushed toward her quickly with a high-frequency vibrating blade, slashing at her face. Gadi flexibly drove her mechanical units in mid-air, directly flipping 360 degrees in the air to dodge that strike, then grabbed the person's power armor mask with one hand and pressed it to the ground!

"Ah!"

The person shouted immediately, trying to counterattack, but Gadi grabbed his hand holding the high-frequency vibrating blade, and her powerful mechanical strength actually snapped the hydraulic power joints of his Ghost Wolf-class hand, then turned it around and pierced through his facial armor with the blade.

The movements were smooth, flowing, and crisp.

Gadi maintained a crouching posture, looked at the mark on the power armor of the person in front of her, and immediately said to Vanessa, who was still fighting the anomalous entity below:

"It's people from Weyland."

"They used a lure agent." Vanessa responded.
