Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 392: In The Darkness (2)

"Cover! Cover!"

"Red Leaf, you left and I right."

"Buzz, ten meters ahead, cut them off. Drew, protect Buzz and the others!" Garner kept shouting, telling his subordinates to cooperate. He lifted the giant sword, and there were already some gaps in the blade of the giant sword. These gaps were the result of collisions with the exoskeleton of the alien's head. After killing a dozen or so monsters in a row, many wounds appeared on his precision-cast sword. It could be seen that the monsters' skeletal armor was extremely hard.

As the red leaves swam, they specifically attacked the relatively fragile bodies of the aliens and dismembered them on the spot. However, after shredding two or three Aliens, Red Leaf also changed her strategy. She no longer wasted her Origin Energy and stamina on dismembering monsters. Instead, she focused on killing them with a single saber.

In any case, a single saber was enough to kill, and ten sabers were enough to kill. In terms of efficiency, being elected to the former would save one's stamina. After all, Aliens were endlessly bent out and crawled out of the darkness.

Garner and Red Leaf acted as vanguards, tightly guarding the position. Behind them, Magician Buzz continuously released all sorts of powerful lightning bolts, sometimes setting up regional plasma fields. The power of the plasma field was not enough to kill the Aliens, but it could still drag a dozen or so of them down. The high frequency of the electromagnetic pulses released in seconds caused the aliens to feel as if they had entered a marsh, unable to move for a moment.

This would buy Garner and the others precious buffer time, so that they wouldn't be stacked alive by a large number of monsters.

Originally, the fireman's team contribution shouldn't be lower than Buss's, but unfortunately, most of his ammunition was soaked when he came in through the drain. Only a small portion of the well-kept bullets and fire thunder worked, especially the fire thunder, which sent several aliens flying with a single explosion. Even if he couldn't kill them in one blow, it was still enough to buy time for Garner and the others. However, the ammunition in his hands was getting smaller and smaller, and he became stingy.

Only at the most critical moment would he fire a few shots and throw out a flaming lightning bolt. In this way, it could not be compared to Bass's indiscriminate bombardment that was like a moving turret.

Fatty Drew was in charge of protecting the rear position. Occasionally, there would be an alien that Garner and Drew had missed. Drew would carry an axe and chop the monster into meat slurry. For the time being, Garner and the others were still able to defend themselves. However, as time passed, the situation became precarious.

With Garner and the other two main players starting to draw the lottery and their energy consumption rapidly increasing, their defensive rings were constantly tightening, while the Aliens seemed to be unable to kill them. To them, this was undoubtedly a tremendous mental pressure. '"No, we can't. We have to get out of here," Garner shouted after one of Red Leaf's feet was struck by a tongue that was as fast as a bullet.

Drew looked at the door when he arrived. There were already a dozen baby aliens crouching quietly there. However, they did not attack, just hibernated there, occasionally spinning impatiently in circles, but did not retreat a single step. The fatty smiled bitterly and said, "It's probably impossible to withdraw from the original place."

Garner looked in the direction of the door and cursed, "Damn it!" His eyes narrowed. The door leading to the unknown region on the other side was open. Although he was reluctant, reality did not give him much choice. Thus, Garner cried out, "I will open the path. Red leaves will be cut off. In the other dwellings, pay attention to the cover of fire. Let's go!"

The burly man raised his giant sword, gathered his Origin Energy, and forcefully slashed forward. The giant sword pulled out a bright red sword light and pushed forward, shattering the few abnormalities that blocked the path into pieces. Garner felt his heart pounding wildly after sending out this extremely powerful slash. That was precisely the sign of exhaustion of Origin Energy. He took a deep breath and dragged his sword forward. The three of them followed behind him, using lightning and firearms to support him from time to time.

Red Leaf fell behind, his two sabers dancing out a complicated light shadow, killing the two Aliens that were chasing after him. josei

The team successfully exited the transfer platform. Outside the gate, there was still a pitch-black corridor that extended forward. Garner sighed as he led everyone away. He looked back. For some unknown reason, those aliens did not chase after him. They were just lingering by the door.

Garner heaved a sigh of relief. If these monsters chased after him, their situation would be even worse.

After Garner and the others left, a slender figure swam down from above the gate. It jumped to the door and stood up. Like an alien larva, it has a head covered by an exoskeleton, except that there are four eyeballs lined up on the outer skeleton. A body similar to that of a human woman was wrapped in a layer of dark armor-like skin. Her arms were no different from humans, but her palms had long and sharp curved claws.

And the curved toes that extended from the soles of his feet hooked firmly onto the ground. Behind him, a tail with bone spikes extended down from his buttocks, occasionally slapping the ground. Every time he struck, a small crack would appear on the metal floor.

The adult alien let out a few short screams at the young behind the door. The young seemed to have received an order and kept retreating. However, two of the larger larvae seemed reluctant to leave and tried to climb out of the door. The adult alien immediately swung its tail and a sharp howl sounded in the air. The tail slid over the two larvae. The larvae slowed down, and then their front and rear bodies were dislocated, and large amounts of blood and organs flowed out.

After slapping the corpse to pieces, the adult abnormality bent down and jumped onto the door. Using both hands and feet, he quickly crawled away like a giant gecko, his figure submerged into the darkness.

"Not yet? This energy furnace is really tall."

In the power room, Regis, who was in the middle of the furnace, complained. They had climbed down from above for a moment, but they still hadn't reached the ground. Belmond smiled and something flashed in his eyes. He immediately stopped. Everyone else saw that he was acting strangely and stopped. Belmond looked at the darkness beneath the furnace with rapt attention, and a few more lights lit up.

Compared to before, these dots of light were clearly much brighter. Looking like something was climbing up from below, Belmond hooked his toes on the staircase, his hands hanging down, and the chain blade slid out of his sleeve. One of the chain blades lightly touched the railing of the stairwell, producing a "ding" sound in the silent power room. Suddenly, the sound of mechanical components moving could be heard from the darkness below. Then, a fiery light erupted, and a black shadow rushed out of the fiery light and flew towards everyone.

Ellen's pupils shrank and he shouted, "What the hell? Why is there a mini-missile!"

The black shadow was a miniature missile. It was dragging fire over. The power of a miniature missile was average, but on this planet where the Lian Zhan Chariot hadn't yet appeared, it was inevitable that they would be surprised to see a weapon like a missile.

The missile rose rapidly. Lucy had already raised the golden rose, and a precise shot detonated the missile beneath the crowd. A fireball exploded, and flames shot out in all directions. With the help of the flames, one could see a giant spider-like figure hanging below the energy furnace. It clearly had the outline of an arachne plate and limbs, but above the waist was a human body. More importantly, under the light of the fire, this monster, who didn't know if it was a machine or a creature, actually raised a multi-barreled heavy artillery cannon and opened fire at everyone in astonishment!

"Be careful!" Ellen shouted, "Stay close to the wall!"

Everyone tried their best to stick to the outer wall of the energy furnace, and a torrent of metal almost rushed up against their backs, breaking apart the well ladder guardrail beside them. Alan shouted and ejected from the stairs. The Origin Energy within his body rumbled as he gripped Qianjun and threw him down like a javelin!

Qianjun turned into a streak of black lightning, and the sound of the sky breaking was like thunder in the clear sky. As the thunder rang out, the heavy saber smashed into the monster's body and knocked it down from the energy furnace. The monster arachne desperately slid on the outer wall of the energy furnace, but in vain, it pulled strands of starfire and its figure quickly fell down. A moment later, there was a muffled sound from the ground. It should be that the monster had already fallen to the ground.

As Alan ejected, Belmond swung the chain blade at him, which quickly pulled Alan's feet. Belmond pulled back, and Alan swung back, grabbing the railing and stabilizing himself.

"What's that?" At this moment, Regis asked.

Lucy shook her head. "I don't know. Let's go down and take a look."

They swiftly climbed down the stairs without any hindrance. When they reached the ground, they saw that not far away, the human arachne monster was lying on the ground, not knowing if it was dead or not, not moving at all.

Just as Alan was about to step forward to retrieve Qianjun, the sound of mechanical action suddenly sounded in his ears. The monster swung its arachne, but it flipped over and bounced up again. The arachnid body on the lower half of this thing was a mechanical structure. The outline of the metal parts could be seen from the spider's body, but the human body on its waist was in biological form. After all, Qianjun, who had stabbed into the monster's chest, had blood dripping down the blade of the heavy saber.

However, it didn't seem to be fatal to the monster, so it lifted the multi-barrel cannon. The muzzle of the cannon was raised and another round of fire was fired at the crowd.

"Spread out! Spread out!" Allen shouted, telling everyone to disperse, in case they were all gathered together and killed by the monster.

As he dodged the shrapnel, he looked at the monster. The muscular man's body was connected to the robotic arachne below. He wore something like a tactical helmet on his face. A few cables extended from the back of his head and connected to the back of his body. This was clearly a type of combat weapon that combined life and machinery.

The technology it represented far surpassed the current level of the planet.

Obviously, this was one of the "remnants" left behind by the people of Adahua Planet back then. I wonder what kind of role this semi-human and semi-mechanical weapon played in this base?

Alan rolled across the ground, avoiding a stream of fire from the side. With his hands and feet pressing down on the ground, he pounced towards the monster. The monster suddenly turned around and a mechanical sound sounded. Alan cursed inwardly, pulled out two slashes of the devil's praise and detonated the missile with an incomplete version of Flame Breath Flash, creating two fireballs in the power room.
