His speed was so great that he left afterimages in his wake, confusing the Spyders’ targeting systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely a Gene Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No wonder he’s the Rank 1... I wonder if that Gene Skill is similar to mine...’ she mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, smoke grenades burst around him, cloaking his movements in thick clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times, he seemed to vanish entirely, using a skill or perhaps an item that masked his presence from enemy sensors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Atom absorbed the brunt of the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanized soldier accompanying Kai had become the primary target. Its body was even capable of enduring plasma bursts that would have melted through ordinary armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each impact seemed to be capable of destroying a tank, but Atom remained unaffected! It was shielding Kai from the worst of the assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Atom wasn’t stopping the destruction of the other Sentinels that came forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the reinforcements finally arrived as Farrah’s armored car screeched to a halt nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leapt out, activated her Gene Skill, Knight Armor, and it deflected incoming gunfire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks scattered across the barrier’s surface, but it held firm. Thankfully, the Spyders with plasma rifles were already being suppressed by Kai’s precision shots and Atom’s relentless advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only had to worry about the few enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kai! You’re fast!\" Farrah shouted as she arrived in front of the enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai gave her a quick nod before firing another volley into the enemy ranks. His shots were deliberate, not aimed at random targets but at key points to disrupt their formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not destroy the cannon!\" he ordered sharply. \"Cover us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors were stunned for a moment after hearing the instruction but they all nodded, emboldened by the sudden arrival of their strongest warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cover the Leader! Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfie roared as he dashed forward! Soon, his bat smashed into a Spyder and sent it crashing into the dirt. The other Survivors also poured out of the armored car, prepared to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Ralph remained on top of the vehicle, with his rifle ready...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, with his Sharpshooter Talent, he picked off plasma rifles before they could fire again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His magazine was nearly empty, but every shot counted! Each bullet disarmed a weapon or crippled a joint, buying precious seconds for the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai, however, kept his focus on the artillery. His attacks weren’t meant to destroy it outright. Instead, he targeted its supports, testing its defenses, forcing the mechanized army to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artillery’s mechanical body groaned under the assault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the Sentinels and Spyders shifted their attention. They ignored the other survivors and concentrated their fire on Kai and Atom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plasma streaks lit up the battlefield, scorching the ground and walls, but Kai’s Specter Step carried him through the barrage unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atom absorbed the rest, with his reinforced body enduring the punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the wall of the New Haven Shelter-45, Claire noticed what was happening and clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were filled with hope!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kai... Atom... you came back just in time.\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the mysterious woman who had remained hidden, her Spirit Points were still recovering. But as she watched the defenders rally, her lips curved into a faint smile. She already wanted to join them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess he wants control over this artillery,\" she murmured. \"He’s baiting them, not destroying it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai’s strategy wasn’t reckless... it was calculated. By drawing the enemy’s focus onto himself, he forced them to overextend, leaving openings for the others to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cannon wasn’t his target to destroy... it was definitely his prize to claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanized army fought desperately to protect their siege weapon, but the tide had turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Kai and Atom leading the charge, Farrah shielding the team, Ralph covering from above, and the survivors continuing to move forward, the team had found their rhythm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long before the clash reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defenders, emboldened by Kai and Atom’s arrival, became more confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Push forward! Don’t let them regroup!\" Wallace shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfie, with his Gladiator Talent, smashed into another Spyder that Ralph had already disarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew as the machine collapsed and its plasma rifle clattered uselessly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it! Focus on the cores!\" Alfie shouted as he saw someone aiming to take the rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few more moments, everything was under their control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the Sentinels fell. Atom tore even through them with brute strength, ripping a Sentinel’s arm clean off and throwing it away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai caught the motion and smirked. \"Nice throw, Atom. Keep them busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the armored car, Ralph was also done...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magazine’s empty!\" he shouted down. \"You’re on your own now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, you bought us time!\" Farrah called back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it didn’t take long before the battlefield grew quieter as the last mechanized soldiers collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Sentinels lay broken with their cores shattered, while a dozen or so Spyders were reduced to piles of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai lowered his rifle and turned toward the massive artillery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its huge frame was quite intimidating. Furthermore, it was still intact despite the chaos. He approached slowly, inspecting its supports and central barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This weapon... it belongs to us now,\" Kai said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ralph’s eyes lit up. \"If we can haul it back, we might actually turn this thing against them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai nodded, already calculating how to move it. He didn’t even bother checking the notification system for the experience points he had earned from eliminating the Sentinels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll figure out how to transport it later. For now, secure the area.\" His gaze shifted toward the treeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be around here... Kai thought as he scanned the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough hiding,\" Kai called out. \"Show yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he didn’t have to repeat himself as the hidden figure stepped forward, and this time, Kai realized it was a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were calm, unhurried, and she seemed completely unbothered by the chaos around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, her face was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kai froze as recognition struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... Mei?\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors exchanged glances. They all knew that name... it was on the Leaderboard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai didn’t know what to say at first. Finally, he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you choose this Apocalypse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-05T15:00:29.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","bcd1345965b6cd96d11c1390b67efea9567caf8dfc9d7fc6984c30a26c4784b4","global-awakening-infinite-gift-pack-system-chapter-160","global-awakening-infinite-gift-pack-system-chapter-158",266,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-awakening-infinite-gift-pack-system-cover.jpg"]
