Chapter 188: Capture Target

Sixty-Sixth Corps Position No. 4.

At this moment, Position No. 4 was densely packed with Zerg, and several humanoid Zerg stood before a human corpse. One of the humanoid Zerg muttered in confusion, "Why do these humans still bring people here when they know this place can no longer be held? What a strange practice."

Looking at the human before them who had lost his right eye, a humanoid Zerg slowly extended its forelimb toward the corpse, preparing to consume his flesh and blood. After consuming some flesh with its forelimb, the humanoid Zerg withdrew its forelimb with a sense of boredom; originally, this human had erupted with powerful strength to kill one humanoid Zerg directly and severely wound another.

But this human soon collapsed to the ground on his own, losing all signs of life. His left eye remained open, his pupils were already dilated, and his body had already stiffened.

"His soul has dissipated, and his abilities have been burned away. Now, only this empty shell remains. I really can't figure out why it's so hard to absorb some powerful abilities when I see them. The more it's like this, the more I want to obtain this kind of ability! Send this body to the Hatchery; its only remaining use is to become nourishment."

Subsequently, several Zerg took the corpse away.

At the same time, Xu Fenqiu was driving a military jeep to evacuate from Position No. 4 with the members of his squad. Most of his squad members had already been lost; those humanoid Zerg were very strong, and it was difficult for his squad members to kill them even when attacking together. In the end, they sacrificed 4 team members just to kill one humanoid Zerg. By then, the situation was already lost, and the Deputy Regiment Commander had told him to take the squad members and leave, while he stayed behind to fight those Zerg.

"Damn it! What exactly is going on with those humanoid Zerg? They can actually consume human abilities! This intelligence must be sent back! The higher-ups must be made to take this seriously!"

"Captain! There is someone ahead!"

The speed of the military jeep slowed down, and Chenjie immediately said to Xu Fenqiu beside him.

Chenjie, who was driving, interrupted Xu Fenqiu's thoughts at this moment. Xu Fenqiu looked up and discovered a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms; judging by their appearance, they had been waiting here for a while.

"Which unit are you from? Why are you blocking our path!"

Xu Fenqiu rolled down the car window and shouted at the group of soldiers.

The soldiers standing opposite did not answer Xu Fenqiu's question. After seeing Yingfang in the back seat of the military jeep, a Sergeant pressed his right hand to his headset and said in a low voice, "Target found, do we need to execute the capture?"

"Capture, preferably alive. If there is fierce resistance, killing him is also fine."

"Understood, no problem."

After the Sergeant ended the communication, he said to Xu Fenqiu, "Because you are suspected of colluding with the Alien Race and have refused to go to the Inner City for investigation, we are now executing you!"

Following the Sergeant's order, the group of soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and opened fire on the jeep.

Chenjie, sitting in the front row, was riddled with bullets before he could even react. Xu Fenqiu had long been on guard against these guys; the moment they raised their guns, he summoned his Back Spirit, and heavy Armor covered his body, which was the only thing that blocked the attack.

Yingfang, sitting in the back row, quickly got out of the car to take cover. Seeing that his teammate had already been killed, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

When did he ever collude with the Alien Race? He didn't even know about such a thing, so why did the execution start? Now only he and Xu Fenqiu were still alive. For some reason, the soldiers' attack target did not seem to be him; they had been suppressing Xu Fenqiu, who was wearing blood-red Armor.

And they had already started using abilities to attack Xu Fenqiu. Seeing this, Yingfang condensed his right hand, and a primitive longbow appeared in his hand. He popped his head out from behind the jeep and aimed at a soldier attacking Xu Fenqiu.

The movement of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow was done in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

A Spirit Power Arrow pierced a soldier's throat. There was no scene of blood spraying; there was only a ball of flame that began to burn from the throat, instantly burning the soldier to nothing.

These soldiers gave Yingfang a feeling that something was wrong; this attack against them was very likely orchestrated by the Alien Race.

And this arrow made Yingfang even more certain that these soldiers in front of him were either played by the Alien Race or controlled by the Alien Race. Regardless, his current goal was to help Xu Fenqiu.

At this moment, Xu Fenqiu was suffering from long-range attacks. The force transmitted through the Armor made Xu Fenqiu feel that his Spiritual Power was constantly being consumed to maintain this Armor. The soldiers in close proximity began to attack him using the weapons of their Back Spirits. Although he had Yingfang providing long-range support, the number of opponents was simply too high, and his fate seemed to be sealed.

Thinking of this, Xu Fenqiu grabbed a soldier's head, slammed it onto the ground, and took out his Combat Knife to finish the opponent off with one strike. The soldier's corpse began to burn rapidly, and the corpse was burned to nothing.

"It really is the Alien Race playing tricks! Yingfang! Take advantage of their attention being on me, run! We..."

Before Xu Fenqiu could finish his sentence, his throat was slashed by a sharp Combat Knife, and blood sprayed out. Xu Fenqiu watched as the scene before him became increasingly blurry; he could no longer feel his body, and his brain's reactions had also become much slower.

Immediately following, more attacks landed on Xu Fenqiu. Xu Fenqiu's Armor also disappeared, and he was quickly killed by those soldiers.

Yingfang watched as those soldiers cruelly murdered Xu Fenqiu. Remembering his dead teammates, Yingfang's eyes were about to split with rage. He attacked these soldiers in anger, but these soldiers nimbly dodged Yingfang's attacks and subdued him.

"Ahhhhh! You damn Alien Race!"

Yingfang was pinned to the ground and could only roar angrily at these soldiers before him.

"Target controlled, prepare to withdraw!"

Yingfang only felt his vision go black, and he lost consciousness. Although he tried his best not to close his eyes, his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand jun, and they slowly fell.

A group of soldiers quickly cleaned up the military jeep and the several corpses of Xu Fenqiu and the others, as if no battle had ever occurred here. Subsequently, they took away the target of this operation—Yingfang.

Sixty-Sixth Corps Command Camp.

At this moment inside the camp, soldiers were rapidly assembling. The soldiers of the Sixty-Sixth Corps were packing their equipment. After receiving the news from Position No. 6, the Legion Commander of the Sixty-Sixth Corps, Xiong Zhongdao, immediately assembled his troops and had his Guard relay his orders.

"Positions No. 3, 4, and 5 have all fallen. The Zerg are coming very fiercely this time. Have the follow-up troops go to the backup positions that have fallen and resist the Zerg's attack together with the garrison troops there. Also, send a communication to the Military District saying that we need reinforcements here!"

"Yes!"
