Chapter 422

Boom! Boom!

He threw punch after punch.

Though a flesh-and-blood giant fist slammed the alloy high wall, it burst with a metallic clang.

Soldiers on the wall felt the tremor beneath their feet, and a chill ran through their hearts.

These monsters are too terrifying..

The metal deformed, and the struck part of the wall suddenly caved in.

While the tank drew fire, several First Level Mutants quickly stepped onto its body and leapt onto the wall top.

Even just watching the screen, everyone in the Meeting Room could feel the fear of the soldiers on the wall.

"If they rush onto the wall again, it's over..."

"Their Awakened Ones seem to have no spiritual energy left..."

"Without reserve Awakened Ones acting, the tank will eventually blast down the wall..."

As the words fell, the dim defense tower in the screen suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Inside the defense tower, the Awakened Ones who had completed their upgrade unhesitatingly desperately poured in spiritual energy.

The recovery effect from the upgrade fully replenished their condition.

Lava Beam!

"Whoosh!"

The scorching red light flared up, like the red of death.

"Still have energy!?"

Seeing the light flare up again, the staff officer beside him jumped to his feet in some surprise.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The lava beam, emitting thousands of degrees of heat like a death ray, precisely incinerated the mutants leaping mid‑air into charcoal.

"Plop"

"Plop"

The First Level Mutant killed instantly didn't even have time to howl before its corpse turned into a lump of charcoal that smashed into the zombies below the city.

Good! Great shot!

Morale was greatly shaken.

The soldiers on the wall, who had been somewhat panicked, shouted excitedly.

Our defense tower's renewed display of power truly lifted their morale for a while.

As for the tank attacking the wall...

Everyone subconsciously glanced at the unremarkable Gao Tian.

"Holy crap!"

"Is this thing's energy infinite?"

Unable to comprehend how the defense tower could still attack, the staff officer stared in astonishment at the tower that had once again 'made merit'.

This thing... is a bit exaggerated.

Wang Meng, sitting in his seat, also couldn't help but rise slightly; he too was startled.

Damn, we need to get one of these too!

What power?

One shot instantly kills a First Level Mutant, and there's no need to worry about friendly fire?

Firing at such close range, the soldiers nearby suffered no harm.

If our Military Region built dozens of these defense towers, what would we have to fear from mutants?

Just as his heart burned with enthusiasm, the staff officer beside him, seemingly trying to save face, hurriedly pointed at the screen:

"Gone!"

"The defense tower has gone completely dark!"

For some reason, he felt a bit relieved.

His initial misjudgment somewhat embarrassed him.

What the hell is this?

Awakened Ones amplifier?

He had noticed, though, that the defense tower contained only four Awakened Ones, and yesterday's screen clearly showed the occupants as Zeroth Rank.

Wang Meng glanced at the staff officer, offering no comment.

Gone is gone—what the hell are you happy about?

Being able to perform like this, the defense tower's value in his eyes was no less than that of the mysterious 'Phantom' Awakened One.

Watching the tank in the screen frenziedly bombarding the wall, Wang Meng's heart suddenly flickered with a strange feeling.

What are we to do about this Second Level Mutant, Long'an Base?

Should I urge the dispatched armored unit to act?

The armored unit that had been secretly dispatched early on even carried a v9 rocket launcher specially.

Though called a rocket launcher, it is in fact equivalent to a medium‑range missile.

At this distance, maybe it can reach?

Should we have them speed up?

Seeing Long'an Base looking as if it could barely hold on, he suddenly felt a pang of pity.

It's not that I feel sorry for the base members; I'm worried that after the city is breached later, the mutants might destroy these facilities.

The staff officer beside him understood the commander's intent, looking at the unstoppable tank on the screen, he instinctively asked in a low voice:

"Commander, it seems they can't do anything."

"The corpse tide is following the tank into the city; this doesn't even count the rotting giant corpses that can't be held back any moment."

"Look..."

Just as his words fell, Wang Meng was about to contact the special forces when a man carrying a bow suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Gao Tian! How many more seconds?!"

An Jing Tian, leading the special forces team, roared at the charging Gao Tian, as a large number of zombies tried to climb and jump onto the city wall along the tank's body.

A batch of small mutants hidden in the corpse tide unconsciously also wanted to assault a weak point.

After letting Wen Ya give him a mental power barrier, An Jing Tian prepared to jump down the city wall again.

He can't handle a second-level opponent, but he can still kill the mutants trying to attack the weak point.

"9 seconds!!"

Holding his breath and focusing, Gao Tian locked onto the biggest threat.

The spiritual energy gathering on the bow became increasingly dazzling.

He had to rely on locking onto Lin An's weakness, so he only successfully activated the skill three seconds ago.

"Hold on!"

"Still 7 seconds!"

"I'll kill this one first!"

He replied anxiously, burning with urgency.

The colonel stationed in the rear, Chu, suddenly spoke:

"Use firepower weapons to intercept its other tank!"

As the order was given, three body-system awakened ones suddenly threw down their heavy machine guns, one leaping to the ammo box.

"This is what we've been waiting for!"

"Damn it!"

Three muscular men resembling Zhang Tie let out a strange cry, then grabbed a six-barrel Gatling and opened fire suddenly.

An awakened one of tall stature, not much different from Xiong Hanzi, even more so roared while holding a menacing-looking "cannon".

"Blast them to death!"

"-hum"

The electric motor hummed low.

This is the rotating mechanism unique to multi-barrel weapons.

If Zhang Tie were alive and here, he would surely recognize that the Gatling these three are holding is his favorite "toy".

The specially made six-barrel heavy machine gun from the weapons test range, its bullets crafted from specially made tungsten.

Its rate of fire reaches up to 8000 rounds per minute.

Each round is equivalent to a small armor-piercing shell.

The largest of those, a weapon like a cannon, was even specially modified by the staff of the weapons research institute.

It fires three grenades per second, the warheads are high-melting-point armor-piercing, and the recoil is comparable to that of a heavy cannon.

"Go die!"

As the rotational speed increased, the six-barrel machine guns in the hands of two of them began to roar.

A storm of bullets poured out like a silver torrent.

The modified Gatling's recoil exceeds what an ordinary person can control; if the three were not body-system awakened ones, they couldn't even steady their bodies.

Leaning back, the torrent of bullets shot straight at the tank smashing into the wall.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The violent torrent of bullets struck the tank below the city like a heavy hammer, and for a moment the recoil made it shake violently.

The hastily raised giant hand stood before it, trying to block the roaring hail of bullets.

"Pfft-pfft"

Under ultra-high-speed firing, the tungsten bullet tips successfully broke through the monster's skin defense.

First a gap appeared, then the successive bullets exploded into dense blooms of blood.

"Ahhhhh!"

Bearing the inhuman recoil, two bald muscular men roared as they raised their guns and fired.

Under the impact of the bullets, the tank could only take the damage head-on for a moment, falling into a rigid state.

The awakened ones watching from the Wangjiang Military Region were stunned when a "machine cannon" suddenly appeared.

They wished they could stuff the gun muzzle into the tank's mouth.

Unfortunately, although the firepower is strong, it can only serve to delay.
