Chapter 652: Airdropping into the Third Defense Zone Breeding Ground (3)
As the three approached the building, it was clear that the survivors inside had also discovered their arrival.
"Those mutes actually brought a steel giant to cause us trouble! Quick! Quickly notify the boss!"
A survivor spotted Huokan following behind Afudao and Dekashi, shouted quickly to the companions beside them, and took out a homemade, simple bow and arrow from their side.
Drawing the bow and nocking an arrow, they aimed at Afudao below and shouted.
"Hey! You mutes down there, if you dare take another step closer! I'll shoot through your heads!"
Afudao and Dekashi stopped, and after Dekashi gave a light cough, he shouted loudly.
"Ahem, I want to see your leader! I have important matters to discuss with you!"
Seeing Dekashi speak out loud, this survivor was also rendered speechless by this group of delusional fools.
Damn it, if you want to die, don't drag us with you! Coming here is nothing more than discussing running away.
"You bunch of lunatics! If you want to die, don't drag us with you! Those Zerg won't joke around with us!"
Saying this, the survivor shot an arrow at Dekashi's feet.
Dekashi wanted to dodge, but saw Huokan behind him reach out to block the flying arrow, and looking at the survivor above, he said.
"Everything they said is true; we will save you and get you out!"
And as this survivor saw Huokan speak loudly about escaping, and the Zerg made no reaction, just as they were about to say something.
A young man with a scar on his face walked out, and the moment he saw Huokan, he spoke to the subordinates beside him.
"Open the door, let our guests in."
The scarred young man's voice was very low, but Huokan still heard his words, so Huokan spoke directly.
"No need, gather your people and come to their stronghold; we will take you away from this Breeding Ground!"
Just then, Huokan raised the Bolter in his hand and aimed at two Hormagaunts that had darted out from the shadows to one side, and the Bolter fired rapidly.
This sudden turn of events startled both Afudao and Dekashi, and accompanied by the sound of bolter explosions, the pained hissing of the two Hormagaunts came from the shadows.
"Now, the Alien that was monitoring you has been eliminated, and there are no other Aliens nearby. If you are willing to come with us, do it now."
"Alright, I understand."
Dekashi and Afudao had not expected that once Huokan stepped forward, the conversation would be so easy.
But what shocked Dekashi and Afudao even more was the strength Huokan displayed; just now, they hadn't even reacted before Huokan had shot and killed the two Hormagaunts.
On the other side, Katuo was watching the dense swarm of Zerg surging toward the Outer City with Claudel.
Holding the Combi-Flamer across his chest, Katuo said to Claudel.
"Did these Aliens not discover us entering here?"
Claudel leaned against the wall to one side, took out the Chainsword in his hand, and said.
"Isn't that just right? It gives us time to rescue the survivors."
"That's true, I don't know what the situation is like inside now... I'll be damned! They're coming!"
Katuo had just nodded in agreement with Claudel's point, but he hadn't expected that the Zerg Alien swarm, which had been surging forward just a second ago, would split off a detachment to rush toward them.
"Katuo! You guy, your words are too prophetic!"
As Claudel spoke, he used his Chainsword to cleave a Hormagaunt rushing toward the gap in two, and Katuo quickly raised the Combi-Flamer in his hand and pulled the trigger.
A stream of scorching flames sprayed out, plunging the rushing swarm into a sea of fire.
The high-temperature flames caused the carapaces of these Zerg to crackle, and a smell of burnt flesh soon drifted out.
But Katuo and Claudel didn't smell it; the two of them stood at the gap, forcefully blocking the surging Zerg.
"Three-fifths of the fuel remaining!"
He glanced at the fuel of the Combi-Flamer in his hand and said to Claudel, who was constantly slashing with his Chainsword beside him.
The Combi-Flamer in his hand sprayed a twenty-meter-long orange-red flame, burning the carapaces of the six rushing Hormagaunts until they burst.
These two-meter-long Hormagaunts twisted in the flames, let out painful hisses, and finally turned into charcoal.
Claudel used his Chainsword to pierce the chest cavity of a Warrior Bug, and when the saw teeth were pulled out, they brought out green blood.
"Katuo, if it's not working, save some fuel first. These Aliens aren't very strong; the Chainsword can block them just the same!"
As he spoke, Claudel raised his foot and kicked away a rushing Hormagaunt, the massive footprint of his Ceramite Battle Boots imprinted directly onto the Hormagaunt's body.
Claudel backhanded and split the head of another Hormagaunt, green blood splattering all over him.
"Ah, what you say makes sense!"
While Katuo put away the Combi-Flamer, he drew his own Chainsword and started it.
He saw a Tank Bug charging through the wall of fire; its blue-gray biological carapace was scorched black, but its forward charging pace did not stop.
"What's so great about being big!"
Katuo cursed and retreated half a step, then the Chainsword stabbed directly into the head of a Tank Bug.
The Tank Bug's massive body finally fell, and after Katuo pulled out the Chainsword, he punched a Spiker Bug that wanted to ambush him, shattering it.
"Switch positions!"
Katuo instantly moved half a body length ahead of Claudel, his Chainsword carving out a slash.
He severed the forelimbs of the leading Scyther Bug at the root, then kicked away the Scyther Bug that had lost its forelimbs.
Claudel retreated half a step, switched to his Bolter, and aimed at the Spitter Bugs in the swarm that were charging up.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Although these Spitter Bugs were positioned very sparsely, Claudel relied on his reflexes and precise marksmanship to pick them off one by one.
The moment the Bolter rang out, one round went straight into a Spitter Bug's head, the bolt shell blowing the Spitter Bug's head to pieces, and shards of skull splattered everywhere.
Katuo gave a low growl and threw a Fragmentation Grenade from his waist; the Fragmentation Grenade traced a parabola in the air.
"Taste the Salamanders' morning kiss!"
A violent white light flashed, and the expanding Fireball blew the rushing Zerg into fragments, leaving a five-meter-wide crater on the ground.
Just at this moment, the voice of Huokan rang out in Katuo's communication channel.
"Katuo, Claudel, what is the situation over there? We are leading the survivors and heading toward your position, report your current status."
Katuo used his Chainsword to pierce the body of a Hormagaunt, pulled downward with force, and tore the Hormagaunt into two halves, its internal organs spilling all over the ground.
He smashed another charging Spined Devil flat with a punch, and replied to Huokan in the communication channel.
"These Aliens have gone mad for some reason and have started attacking this Breeding Ground! Do not bring the survivors here yet!"
