Chapter 58: The Chaotic Battlefield
Chapter 58: The Chaotic Battlefield
When the first Multi-legged Insect Beast stepped into the machine gun’s firing range, tongues of fire spurted from the machine gun towers one by one.
“Dada… dadada…”
“Tu tu… tu tu… tu tu…”
This Multi-legged Insect Beast didn’t even have time to react before the metal frenzy formed by the bullets submerged it. As it crawled, bullets struck its body and the huge mouth on its head. Each bullet hit was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, kicking up small sprays of liquid that splashed in all directions. When the bullets hit its skin, their excessive speed would often splash out tiny droplets of blood as they pierced through.
This metal frenzy, in the blink of an eye, smashed the entire head of the Multi-legged Insect Beast into a pulp, looking like an ice cream that had melted halfway.
Powerful thermal weapons displayed their immense power at this very moment.
However, no one cheered. A single Multi-legged Insect Beast was so tiny and insignificant on the battlefield. With the fall of the first Multi-legged Insect Beast, more Multi-legged Insect Beasts entered the machine gun’s firing range. They completely ignored the flying bullets, advancing constantly amidst a rustling sound of crawling.
Multi-legged Insect Beasts were not powerful individually, but they won with their massive numbers. Moreover, their Fierce Beast Gene made their vitality extremely tenacious. A heavy machine gun bullet, even if it shot into their large mouth and passed through their tail, would still allow them to continue crawling forward while seriously injured, only falling down after the second or third bullet hit them.
The two types of wolf-shaped Fierce Beasts, the Green Flame Wolves with lightning-like speed, moved so fast that the swinging machine guns sometimes couldn’t keep up with them.
The scene before them was like a tsunami’s tide, constantly compressing and pushing toward the Frontline in a slow manner.
Among the rampaging Fierce Beasts, some would occasionally be knocked down, and their corpses would often trip a pile of charging Fierce Beasts. On the entire Frontline, the sound of intense machine gun fire never stopped. The fearful metal storm smashed head-on onto the first row of charging Fierce Beasts, harvesting their lives.
On the Frontline, soldiers carrying anti-tank Missile launchers knelt on one knee, aimed at the dense area of Fierce Beasts, and anti-tank Missiles rushed out dragging faint smoke, fiercely plunging into the pile of Fierce Beasts. The power of the armor-piercing projectile was enough to cut several Multi-legged Insect Beasts in half at the front, and then explode in the Fierce Beast group, blowing away a large patch.
Further away, the toad-shaped Leaf Sac Beasts slowly stopped. Only their leaf-like sacs were seen opening, forming a tube shape, emitting a purple-blue glow, and then clumps of blue light were sprayed out from the contracting sacs. They streaked a bright mark across the sky before plunging right into the Frontline.
With a loud “boom,” a machine gun tower was hit by a blue light clump. Amidst the intense explosion, it was sent flying and completely destroyed.
Now Zhou Liming finally knew what their purpose was, and he had already experienced their power in Hemudu Town. He just hadn’t expected that they could attack both land and air, and the power of the blue light clumps they fired was even above ordinary artillery, equivalent to a heavy cannon.
The appearance of these Leaf Sac Beasts completely suppressed the machine gun towers. Their terrifying sensory organs allowed the Leaf Sac Beasts to accurately capture every firepower point. The strikes, as precise as computer control, sent machine gun towers flying into the sky. Their massive numbers instantly plowed through the Frontline.
The entire battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.
As the final trump card, the tank armored unit didn’t wait to be deployed at the critical moment as planned. Instead, ten minutes after the battle started, under the command’s order, they rushed toward the Frontline. Facing these Leaf Sac Beasts, their lethality was too strong; they had to be eliminated, otherwise the entire Frontline would collapse immediately.
Rumbling tanks emerged from behind the Frontline, their turrets rotating from time to time, firing shells while spitting tongues of fire.
With a “boom,” the shell exploded in the wolf pack, and several Green Flame Wolves were thrown into the air, letting out miserable “ow” screams. By the time they fell, they were already corpses. Shrapnel tore their bodies to pieces. The power of technology was displayed vividly in front of these low-level Fierce Beasts.
The tanks had no intention of stopping their shelling. Instead, facing the Beast Tide, they drove straight in and quickly rushed into the Multi-legged Insect Beast group.
The coaxial machine guns began to roar. At this time, the cannons didn’t need fire control systems to aim at all. As soon as the loading was complete, they could be fired, definitely blowing away a large area. Powerful power ensured they could knock away the oncoming Fierce Beasts, then drive over them, forcibly crashing out a bloody path.
The Leaf Sac Beasts seemed to notice that these steel giants could threaten them, so they began to lower the leaf sacs on their backs, spraying out clumps of light one by one.
The tanks that were hit seemed to have been bombarded by shells, and their entire turrets would be blown off. No one could understand why biological attack methods could possess such power. Tanks made of steel were equally unable to withstand their attacks.
The tanks’ counterattack speed was equally fast. After rushing out of the Multi-legged Insect Beast group, the cannons spewed fire, and shells exploded in the Leaf Sac Beast group, tearing Leaf Sac Beasts to pieces and throwing them into the air.
The Leaf Sac Beast was a Fierce Beast with strong attack power but poor defense. Its biggest advantage was its super high attack capability and decent long-range attack capability. The disadvantage was equally obvious; their fragile skin couldn’t bring them much defense. Shrapnel could easily tear open their skin and then drill into their bodies.
“Roar!”
The Magic Ape Beast was like a giant guillotine. Amidst the roar, it ignored the sweeping bullets, knocked over the low-level Multi-legged Insect Beasts and the wolf pack along the way, and rushed into the position. It raised its two huge fists high and smashed them fiercely into the trench. The soldiers inside had no chance to escape before being smashed into meat paste, mixed into the mud of the trench.
Defense fortifications that could withstand shells were simply trash in front of the Magic Ape Beast’s terrifying power. With a few hammer strikes, it could smash a machine gun tower to pieces.
Dragon-like roars came from the sky. In the east where the sun rose, more than a dozen Flying Fierce Beasts that looked somewhat like Flying Dragons from a fantasy world appeared, arriving over the Frontline in the blink of an eye. Humanity had gradually lost air supremacy, and the few surviving Fighter Jets had already evacuated under orders, causing these Flying Dragon Beasts to drive straight in without obstruction.
Anti-aircraft guns on the ground quickly wove a net, with bullets constantly exploding beside the Flying Dragon Beasts.
On the anti-aircraft Missile vehicles, small anti-aircraft Missiles one by one rushed into the sky. With tracking functions, they chased behind after locking onto the Flying Dragon Beasts.
These Flying Dragon Beasts were covered in greenish scales, and their wings spanned over twenty meters when spread out. Their narrow tails swung up and down with their flight. The Missiles chasing from behind caught up with them in just a moment. But their eyes were full of indifference. For them, who had reached the Fifth Stage, these attacks could simply be ignored.
An impatient Flying Dragon Beast suddenly flipped over, flew a C-shaped half-circle, turned its head back, opened its mouth, and sprayed out a flame, enveloping the incoming Missile. The hard Missile shell actually melted in a short zero-point-something seconds. Although the warhead successfully detonated, the threat to the Flying Dragon Beast was almost zero.
The Flying Dragon Beasts, many times stronger than the Flying Bat Beasts, crossed the Frontline below and plunged right into the chaotic City Wan J…
The Boneback Beasts, whose movement speed wasn’t very fast, finally arrived at the Frontline. They ignored the humans’ frantically sweeping bullets, moving forward like bulldozers. Their rhinoceros-like heads could pierce through a machine gun tower with a single forceful push. By the time they passed, the machine gun tower had already been razed to the ground.
Hard tanks and armored vehicles were like toys in front of them, overturned on the ground.
Electric Spirit Beasts hid right behind these Boneback Beasts, occasionally spraying out electric light, weaving a net of death, harvesting the lives of the soldiers who had fallen into chaos.
