Chapter 2344

The city wall directly in front of the alien fortress collapsed. Although the alien side lost its defensive fortifications, the number of ground-type species was vast; their charge choked the breach in the wall, and the open space inside the fortress was filled with an endless sea of ground-type species.

Within the army of ground-type species, a fission-type species with both wings broken was watching the breach in the wall, his eyes narrowed.

After observing for a moment, this broken-winged fission-type species walked toward the southeast side of the fortress and soon entered the main building at the rear of the fortress.

At this moment, outside the city wall, contractors were charging head-on into the army of ground-type species. Among them, King Kong was the most conspicuous; as he ran, he grabbed a ground-type species and crushed it into pulp with a casual squeeze.

With King Kong as the vanguard, their side of over a hundred people actually pushed the army of ground-type species back.

The sounds of roaring and explosions were incessant. King Kong strode to the breach in the wall; if he continued to charge, he would enter the open space inside the fortress, and with King Kong's current size, he would definitely be a living target.

Thinking of this, King Kong prepared to change his form. Although beast-transformation provided a high health bonus, it could not withstand the siege of the ground-type species.

Just as King Kong was preparing to change his form, a wolf howl came from the city wall. Hearing this howl, King Kong instinctively thought it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

When King Kong looked up at the top of the wall, his ape-like face became solemn. Standing at the fracture of the wall was not a friendly force, but a giant wolf. The giant wolf's fur was gray with a black tint, its two front paws had been modified, and the metal claws displayed a faint blood-red color.

Behind the giant wolf, along its spine, was a row of embedded glass columns filled with a green liquid.

The giant wolf's size was no smaller than King Kong's current form, and the two giant beasts stared at each other.

With a 'whoosh', the giant wolf pounced down from above, slamming into the area in front of King Kong and crushing many ground-type species.

Hum—

The giant wolf's pupils shifted from green to blood-red, and the liquid inside the row of glass columns on its back began to boil, turning from green to red.

"Roar!!"

King Kong let out a roar. The giant wolf was not intimidated in the slightest; leaving claw marks on the ground with its four paws, it pounced toward King Kong.

A gray-black afterimage flashed by as the giant wolf pounced onto King Kong, biting toward King Kong's neck.

King Kong crossed his arms, and the giant wolf bit down on his thick forearm.

The giant wolf was very fast, while King Kong possessed great strength. The two giant beasts fought in front of the breach in the wall, shaking the earth and mountains; the scene was extraordinarily spectacular.

Compared to the assault team, Su Xiao was much more relaxed. Originally, he had wanted to enter the fortress with the assault team, but the assault team's performance surprised him; they broke through the wall in a very short time, each possessing their own unique skills.

This created an opportunity for Su Xiao. While the assault team was charging the fortress, he had already separated from the main force with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baha, and the Autistic Brothers, bypassing the area near the fortress wall and heading straight for the east side of the fortress.

Ten minutes later, on the east side of the fortress, beneath the towering city wall.

Because the main gate of the fortress was under attack and the city wall had been breached, two-thirds of the aliens on the east wall had gone to reinforce. Under these circumstances, the fact that one-third of the aliens remained to guard this side was enough to show how important this side was to the alien faction.

Even from a great distance, Su Xiao could still hear the explosions from the main gate.

In a dirt pit beneath the city wall, Su Xiao was waiting. Now was not a good time to sneak in; the fortress had been ambushed, and the aliens would certainly strengthen guards at important locations. Sneaking into the main fortress on the east side at this time would increase the difficulty by at least 50%.

Su Xiao was waiting for their assault team to retreat. According to the plan, their assault team would not blindly rush in, but would attack in a wave and retreat after achieving certain results. Over 97% of the contractors on their side were faster than the ground-type species, and it didn't matter if elite units pursued; after leading them out a certain distance, they would reach the trap zone.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the sounds of battle at the main gate subsided, and their assault team had retreated.

"Still not sneaking in? After they retreat, the aliens will conduct large-scale reconnaissance in the vicinity."

A female voice came from the dark dirt hole, and a faint light lit up; it was the Ghost Girl packed in a round bottle. Originally, she didn't need to participate in this plan, but this girl belonged to the type who felt uncomfortable all over if she didn't stir up trouble for a day.

The Ghost Girl had once rushed into the fortress and released a large number of small ghosts inside. She understood the terrain inside the fortress, so she became a 3D living bottled map.

"Bottle Girl, since you're already like this, stop worrying blindly. It's not time yet."

Baha whispered some snarky remarks.

"Bo, Bottle Girl?"

The Ghost Girl was so angry she stuttered. Her spirit body swam within the liquid, gradually becoming irritable.

"Let me out, I want to kill this dead bird."

"Hey~ Goldfish, don't talk."

Baha's claw grabbed the glass bottle on the ground; by the looks of it, he was preparing to shake it for a while.

"I was wrong."

The Ghost Girl surrendered in a second. She didn't want to experience the feeling of being inside a washing machine. Her inner thought was: you just wait until I get out.

Baha and the Ghost Girl clearly had common topics and started chatting on the war channel.

Su Xiao pressed one hand to the ground, sensing the vibrations appearing on the surface. The Autistic Brothers nearby didn't say a word.

The fortress defense battle only lasted half an hour before subsiding, and the assault team retreated. This was just the first wave of attacks. In the next few hours, they would come to ambush incessantly. This was the advantage of having fewer people: easy to hide, fast to ambush, and fast to retreat.

The battle had subsided for less than five minutes when Su Xiao heard a roar; the assault team was attacking again.

The opportunity had come—not an opportunity to sneak in, but an opportunity to make the alien fortress even more chaotic.

Su Xiao suddenly disappeared from the dirt hole, pierced through space, and arrived on the ground.

A breeze brushed his face. Su Xiao walked quickly toward the distance. After running for about two kilometers, he stopped, and an Apollo appeared in his hand.

He had brought fewer Apollos this time. Su Xiao could not foresee the future, and the activation time for Apollo was too long. In the past, he couldn't even use two if he brought them. Plus, if Apollo was stored for too long, the detonation time would become very erratic, with a maximum error of over 10 seconds. Not to mention 10 seconds, even a difference of 0.5 seconds could result in Apollo failing to hit anyone.

He hadn't used Apollo to bomb the alien army before because the alien army wasn't gathered densely enough. He had only brought two Apollos, used one earlier, and now only one remained.

Now the aliens were gathered densely enough; they were all inside the fortress. Throwing one into the open space of the fortress, where the surrounding walls were like an iron bucket, the power of Apollo could be imagined.

Two kilometers away from the fortress, activating it here would not be detected by the alien army. After 20 seconds of activation, Su Xiao would throw Apollo out. Apollo would fly to the area diagonally above the fortress after 2.7 seconds. The remaining time was for Apollo to fall into the fortress in a parabolic arc.

As Su Xiao activated it, the Apollo in his hand gradually emitted high heat. The next second, a crystal layer clung to his right hand.

The second hand ticked, and the 20 seconds passed in a flash.

Bang!

Apollo broke through a wave of air and flew toward the fortress two kilometers away. At the same time, at the main gate of the fortress, the contractors who were fighting the army of ground-type species suddenly stopped. They split into two groups and charged toward both sides of the wall breach, preparing to hide under the wall to avoid being caught in the explosion.

Just as the contractors rushed under the wall, a whistling sound came from above, and a scorching red sphere fell diagonally into the fortress.

Thud!!

The entire fortress shook, and the shockwave spread. On the inner side of the fortress wall, dense cracks appeared.

Golden solar flames surged within the fortress and spread; the fire at the center even appeared white-hot.

Large swaths of ground-type species in the open space were swallowed by the solar flames. Their bodies instantly carbonized, and then, due to the high heat, they vaporized and evaporated.

It was like a small sun slamming into the fortress. Not to mention the ground-type species within the solar flames, even the contractors hiding outside the wall felt the temperature of the wall was high enough to roast their faces.

A few seconds later, the solar flames dissipated, and a mushroom cloud formed of ash rose into the sky. The fortress became quiet. One Apollo had killed 115,627 ground-type species, 9,535 fission-type species, and 127 parasitic-type species.

When the explosion ended, Su Xiao's combat log almost 'exploded' as well. A large number of merit acquisition prompts appeared. With this Apollo bomb, Su Xiao had gained a total of 1,727 merit points.

You have to know, from the start of the World Conquest War until before this Apollo exploded, Su Xiao had gained a total of 1,464 merit points, which included killing enemy contractors and kills during the defense of the base camp.

This one Apollo bomb yielded more than the sum of the merit points from the previous few days, after all, it was thrown directly into the alien fortress.
