Chapter 1456: Chapter 44 The Late Teleportation Gate

In the Square Garden, the star soldiers ushered in the prelude to death. They couldn’t even make it out of the landing pods before being killed inside. Due to their power armor, they didn’t die immediately, but this only subjected them to more suffering.

"Charge!" The captain of the first squad knew they had to act without hesitation, so he shouted into the communicator, ordering his subordinates to attack.

The surviving soldiers stepping over the corpses of their combat mates were ravaged by lightning and magma once outside, Lu Fan’s light beam was particularly sharp, easily slicing through the power armor and cutting out chunks of flesh, with blood spurting from the gaps.

A landing ship, under Xu Biyun’s ability, directly squeezed inward, crushing the soldiers it carried into meatloaf, then transformed into a metal puppet, dashing towards the nearby landing crafts, lifting one up and savagely smashing it onto the star soldiers.

"Fu Tianxiao, Wang Fang, mind attack." Dantai bellowed, countless ghost bombs shot out from his forehead, zooming towards the star soldiers, directly penetrating the armor and affecting the brain.

Although modified, the star soldiers’ resistance was ultimately limited. After Wang Fang and Fu Tianxiao exerted their power together, the soldiers’ bodies visibly stiffened.

Ruan Feifei would not miss this opportunity to score points, with a lightning bombardment, the entire field of view was instantly filled with a jungle of blue electric arcs, death was pervasive.

Hot lava was bubbling and flowing on the ground, at a depth of one meter, and the extremely high temperature also melted the metal, making the star soldiers’ movement difficult.

"We’ve been tricked!" Watching his soldiers being massacred, the colonel’s face turned black with rage, then fury erupted, and massive spirit energy surged out of his body, like a storm, shattering the entire command center.

"Note, the second wave of soldiers is coming." Fu Tianxiao moved next to Tang Zheng, looking at his solid and broad back gave her a sense of security.

In the sky, hundreds more landing pods entered a rapid orbital descent, like comets, they targeted the Square Garden. Their original mission was to snipe Green Skins, but the commander hadn’t expected that the first squad would be annihilated upon contact, so they had to hastily take over.

"Use the same tactics as before." Baldy also wanted to rack up points, fighting this way was too easy.

"You wish, they’re not stupid!" Lu Fan retorted with contempt.

Baldy refused to accept it, and suddenly a thick beam of light pierced through the clouds, hitting the square, a ten-meter radius energy sphere rose up, sweeping across the broken ground and impacting in all directions.

The Conquerors had to dodge, causing their combat formation to loosen.

Zzzt, zzzt, the light beams kept bombarding. The battleships stationed in outer space were conducting interference fire, so the square was filled with an energy storm, the communicators in the combat suits were all filled with electromagnetic noise, causing a thunderous roar in everyone’s ears.

This time, the star soldiers learned their lesson and did not congregate but dispersed around the square, even if the Conquerors wanted to go for a blitzkrieg, they couldn’t achieve it.

"These guys adapt so quickly to the situation." Wang Fang was worried that her team might soon face another crisis of annihilation.

"What should we do?" Xiaobai wasn’t good at thinking and would instinctively rely on others when faced with a critical situation.

"Run towards the east side, buy some time." Dantai shouted in the channel of the Warhammer team, everyone immediately began running as they realized what to do.

"You guys?" Wang Fang was stunned, then quickly understood, and called for her group members to retreat swiftly.

"Aren’t you guys a bit too selfish?" Just as Baldy was about to complain, Dantai’s voice came over the public channel.

"Run, I’ve prepared a big surprise for them." Dantai’s voice was calm and collected, making others marvel at how fortunate the Warhammer team was to have such an excellent deputy group leader.

In fact, everyone understood that the Warhammer team’s members couldn’t possibly have thought to run at the same time on their own; they must have been prompted. Although just a few seconds faster, it was enough to outrun the Conquerors by more than fifty meters, which represents a huge advantage in combat.

Dantai’s little trick put the other two teams of Conquerors at a disadvantage, directly facing the star soldiers coming out of the pods. However, the situation soon changed, as the Newbies, even with protective clothing and combat suits, were limited in stamina and were quickly overtaken by Li Zheng’s group.

"Wait for us!"

The Newbies were desperate, and several women started crying. Bi Yun, in particular, started swearing out of fear. There was no helping it; the star soldiers had already opened fire, dozens of explosive arrows shot over, instantly taking down an unlucky Newbie.

"Why are they running that way?" A Dragon Youth with the character "dragon" tattooed on his forehead and his friend ran the wrong way. Seeing the main team wasn’t there, he called out in confusion, "Come on over!"

The Dragon Youth did not want to change direction, as it would have put him further behind.

"Are you stupid? Everyone is running this way, can’t you see?" Kevo had a good relationship with the Dragon Youth. Annoyed at his friend’s stupidity, he cursed out loud.

"Give us a reason, will you?" The person speaking was a man accompanying the Dragon Youth, with a somewhat effeminate voice but decisive actions. He grabbed his friend’s hand and pulled him back in line with the team.

The explosive arrows shot by the star soldiers that flew towards him were blocked by a circular shield that popped up from his body, a manifestation of his ability.

"The reason is to fish in troubled waters!" Dantai casually explained, taking out a detonator, "Who wants to press it?"

The rest didn’t understand Dantai’s trick and were watching.

"I’ll do it!" Kevo, fearless, took the detonator tossed by Dantai and pressed it down.

Boom, boom, a series of explosions suddenly erupted at the front of the fortress. Giant fireballs rose, and smoke billowed; the power of this explosion was too great. The Conquerors all felt the shock wave, and a large amount of gravel rained down like hail.

"What have you done? Can this really stop the beastmen?" The youth with the dragon tattoo was confused.

"Hmph, he blew up a section of the fortress’s defenses and walls, creating a weakness for the beastmen to exploit!" Kevo was indeed a wise advisor; his reaction was indeed quick. "Based on the distance, it will take less than two minutes for the beastmen to rush in and fill most of the fortress."

"Awesome! The green skins will definitely clash with the star soldiers, and everyone can take the chance to hide in the chaos." Tianxiao praised.

"Don’t get too happy too soon. What if the green skins also attack us, just like the demons and humans?" Xiaobai couldn’t stand Tianxiao’s attitude and was increasingly disgusted with her.

"Don’t you see the star soldiers at the back fighting to the death with the demons? Anyway, the green skins will also attack us, it’s no problem as long as they don’t join forces." Lu Fan sped up, smashing through walls and rushing into the storage room. With a leap, he jumped onto a vehicle, picked up the vehicle-mounted machine guns, and started shooting at the soldiers chasing behind.

"Get on." Dantai headed towards the garage prepared with vehicles; he had already prepared various emergency measures.

The distance was just over three hundred meters; even the newbies kept up, with only a few unlucky ones getting shot dead. After getting on the vehicle, the survivors escaped.

Xiaobai didn’t ask—he knew Dantai must have prepared everything. To say more would only make others think he was ignorant.

"Use your abilities, scatter those pursuers!" With the battle ongoing, Tang Zheng’s prestige was growing. The Conquerors did not try to shirk or cheat and promptly followed orders.

Lightning, light beams, magma...

A mess of special abilities like a storm passed through, immediately slowing down the pursuers.

Green-skinned Beastmen stormed into the fortress, and as Dantai had predicted, they attacked indiscriminately. Naturally, these creatures couldn’t hinder the survivors’ charge; using them as cover, the survivors successfully escaped into a department store.

On the third-floor staircase, a newbie lost balance and fell, but luckily the combat suit prevented any injury.

"That will do, let’s rest for a while!" Dantai stopped and pulled out a square mechanical device, opened it, and a virtual screen popped up, displaying the scene outside.

Along the route of their escape, Dantai had been dropping surveillance equipment made by Shen Qingshuang at intervals.

"We’re temporarily safe." Shen Qingshuang took a glance and sat down on the ground to conserve energy.

"Safe what?! Our small city’s streets have surveillance devices everywhere, not to mention a fortress in this future world. I bet it won’t be ten minutes before the star soldiers come." Baldy often did bad things, so he was very sensitive to things like monitors; he’d already spotted seven.

"It’s up to the colonel to choose, whether to kill us or to arrange the main forces to resist the Beastmen and protect the citizens." Dantai was indifferent; the things Baldy thought of, how could Dantai not have considered?

Time passed by every minute and second. The survivors were tense and anxious as they waited for the teleportation gate to open.

The woman with large eyelashes huddled in the corner, looking at the remaining sixteen newbies, indecisive and trembling with fear. The horrific death rate nearly suffocated her.

Inside the lobby, the air was terrifyingly still as if it were about to solidify. Nearby, shops still had merchandise not yet cleared; but even though they were there for the taking, no one spared a glance.

Outside, the gunshots were fierce. Human soldiers were fighting the Green Skins to the death. The colonel had no choice; facing the beastmen who almost filled the fortress like a tide, he had to organize a counterattack, without even the time to search for survivors.

"Five minutes left!" Bai Guoqiang let out a breath.

The atmosphere didn’t relax but became even tenser. Even the veterans such as Tang Zheng, Qin Yan, Xu Biyun, and the female anchor felt uncertain.

The newbies were even more so, their clenched fists almost squeezing out water, counting down silently in their hearts.

Ten, nine, eight...

The large eyelashed woman couldn’t help it and read out loud, her gaze constantly shifting, looking for the teleportation gate.

The wristwatch showed the time clearly, midnight arrived and at that moment, the survivors’ tensed hearts loosened a little, feeling a sense of relief. But gradually, the atmosphere became heavy again.

"Where’s the teleportation gate? Why can’t we see it?"

"Could the Silver Trojan have deceived us? Maybe there’s no teleportation gate at all?"

The large eyelashed woman was the first to shout out, and the newbies started to question in a clamor. Having seen so much death, they had lost their calm and were about to collapse.

The newbies couldn’t sit still any longer, and even some Conquerors stood up, searching everywhere for the teleportation gate.

"Damn Silver Trojan, are you playing us?"

Baldy and Bai Guoqiang lost their cool, shouting and cursing loudly, feeling that all survivors had been deceived! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your recommendation vote and monthly vote at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
