Chapter 1488: Chapter 76: Inescapable

Thud, thud, the Giant Soldier’s heart pounded violently, audible even to survivors dozens of meters away. In the next second, roaring, they mutated into all sorts of monsters and charged at them.

The strong sound waves shattered the glass walls of the offices in the hallway.

"Xin Lan, clear the area!" Tang Zheng’s gun muzzle raised, breaking the automatic fire extinguishing system, an alarm rang out, and a deluge of water sprayed down.

A freezing frost emanated from Li Xinlan’s body, and the mature woman took a step forward as the ground beneath her immediately froze over, swiftly spreading out; within the blink of an eye, the entire hallway had transformed into a glacier world, covered in layers of thick ice.

Mutated Creatures sprinting were frozen into ice sculptures, due to the inertia of their sprint, they crashed to the ground, shattered, like scattered slumber crystals.

A skull rolled to Tao Ran’s feet, and through the ice layer, one could even clearly see the mutated creature’s fierce facial expression, as lifelike as ever.

When the Warhammer team broke through the thirty-second-floor ceiling and found the tough guy, their team was locked in fierce combat with the ferocious wave-like mutated creatures, the fight intense and indecisive.

They had already destroyed six floors; ruins were everywhere, covered with damaged corpses, blood red everywhere, as if turning into a vast ocean of blood.

Seeing the blood soaking her ankles, with every step splashing droplets, Li Huiwen trembled, especially when she saw an intestine and a severed leg floating above it, smelling the blood, she vomited.

Tao Ran and Dong Zixuan were also somewhat unaccustomed to the scene; it was too cruel, resembling a slaughterhouse, with various viscera scattered all around.

The commander, seeing that the Giant Soldiers could not win and were being suppressed, immediately ordered them to inject potions, turning into mutated creatures, skyrocketing their combat power in an instant.

"Get lost!" the tough guy roared, his ten fingers firing psychic bullets, followed by a windmill-like swing of his arm, flinging a mutated creature rushing at him off into the distance.

The tough guy’s team coordinated tacitly, each covered in blood, sparing no effort.

Wang Jin and the Warcraft brother led their team to the rescue, while others were intercepted and trapped in the upper floors; the ceiling kept breaking apart, large chunks crashing down.

"Worthless, die!" the tough guy extended his right arm, transformed, assembled, and formed a muzzle, then a green fluorescent glow appeared and after concentrating energy, it was shot forth.

Boom, a green light beam, three meters in radius, spread out in a cone shape, directly destroying most of the floor, then swallowing up hundreds of mutated creatures, and burst through the wall, rushing out of the building.

Startled by the loud noise, tourists suddenly looked up to see a green light column piercing the building like a long spear, shooting out hundreds of meters before gradually thinning and disappearing.

"Group Leader, be mindful to conserve life energy," the deputy leader reminded. The tough guy was just like this, when he got into the fight, he would recklessly unleash his ultimate ability to clear the area.

The main structure of the Rockefeller Center couldn’t withstand such rough treatment and began to collapse; pieces of the wall fell off, sending dust flying everywhere, causing tourists to scream and flee in chaos.

There were extremely many mutated creatures, recklessly fearless, catalyzed by mitochondria, they were pure fighting machines, attacking survivors in waves with kamikaze tactics.

Although Tang Zheng’s party had no casualties for the time being, the pressure doubled, and the group leaders began to use their ultimate abilities to clear the area.

Li Huiwen, despite having activated her ability, felt powerless in front of the mutated creatures due to her lack of combat experience. After being hit, she obediently hid behind Xu Liangmao.

Gao Liangcai was in dire straits, beset with danger, and because of his lousy character, no one helped him.

"Get out of the way, I’m going to blow through the building!" Li Zheng shouted, the sphere above his head spinning, floating to the center of the room. Then, energy congregated, forming a ball of light, and with a hiss, it pierced through the remaining floors, reaching the ground.

No debris fell, as it was all vaporized by the high-temperature light beam.

Looking at the gigantic pit a hundred meters deep, the Conquerors marveled at Li Zheng’s powerful firepower.

"Go, Yixin, Brother Lin, Qin Yan, you go down first." Dantai jumped down, metal feathered wings unfolding behind him for gliding. Although only a B-Class flying prop, it made movement much more convenient.

Everyone used their means to descend rapidly; after all, the less time spent in the air, the fewer chances to be attacked.

Li Zheng’s strike not only killed many natives but also broke the formation of the Giant Soldiers, creating gaps and preventing them from forming an effective staggered offensive.

The protectors also chased into the main lobby, running into the Giant Soldiers and immediately engaging in battle. Not many had joined forces when a light beam shot down, killing several unlucky ones who failed to dodge.

"It’s the invaders!" Crawling out from the shelter, the protectors saw the descending invaders and roared.

"Psychic type, attack." Dantai was prepared, so he was a step faster than the invaders. Although they also released psychiatric attacks, they were nevertheless disturbed and weakened.

On the protector’s side, various skills were fired, lightning, ice spears, Summoned Beasts, instantly filling the field of vision.

Dong Zixuan had hardly ever considered conserving life energy and directly used her ultimate ability. The floor cracked open, lava erupted and flowed; the scorching air tumbled, nearly scorching the skin.

"Good opportunity, kill them all, or it will be troublesome when reinforcements arrive," Dantai bellowed, displaying a do-or-die spirit.

Tang Zheng accelerated with gravity like a cannon shell, landed beside a protector, grabbed him single-handedly, and pulled him forward.

The warrior appeared, beheaded him.

"Little Tang, you’re bullying the weak again," said the Warcraft brother, enviously admiring Tang Zheng’s ease of annihilating the opponent. This kid always managed to find those weaklings based on their subtle expressions and attitudes.

Yue Jing was unlucky, having picked out a guy who was crouched in a corner, only to find out he was a fearless one.

"Damn, so strong? Why the low profile?" Yue Jing was utterly frustrated.

The fearless one spat blood in frustration, too. He had been playing the pig to eat the tiger, but to his surprise, he encountered a B-Class.

Tang Zheng pointed at the panicked weakling on the left, sucked him in with gravity, then the warrior quickly and efficiently beheaded him with a slash.

This accomplishment of hunting two heads in five seconds immediately made the invaders avoid him, even those who were B-Class didn’t want to provoke him.

Dantai had already accumulated quite a bit of prestige. At his roar, people instinctively obeyed, since there weren’t that many enemies in front of them.

The protectors, seeing the invader’s fierce attack and the Giant Soldiers beginning to join in, figured under the three-sided melee that they couldn’t gain an advantage, immediately switched to a defensive stance, thinking to themselves that they were right – this was their home ground, and with the reinforcements coming, why fear these guys escaping?

Several group leaders launched their ultimate abilities, explosions burst forth in a pattern, and the protectors ultimately retreated.

"Don’t chase, get out of here." Dantai quickly reminded everyone in a hushed voice through the communicator, he never really planned to fight, it was just to deceive the opponent.

"Group Leader, they haven’t caught up!" Two minutes later, a weakling looked back to see only Giant Soldiers and alerted his own group leader.

"Fuck, we’ve been duped." The group leader wasn’t stupid, he guessed as much, but he also had his own calculations, not planning to throw his life away, thus he went along with the ruse.

The lack of cohesion in the temporary coalition was also a factor in Tang Zheng’s group’s survival. However, as the formidable Ferrando or the Wild God directly intervened in combat, the situation would reverse.

Dantai and his party rushed onto Main Street, unleashed their vehicle, and fled for their lives at full speed.

Due to the chaos, the Main Street was deserted, enabling them to race past the Square at full speed. Passing by, Ruan Feifei saw the famous gold statue of Prometheus and the iconic ice skating rink.

Some bold and curious youths were craning their necks, looking in the direction of the stone top, and were stunned when they saw the vehicle-mounted machine guns firing at the Giant Soldiers behind them.

Bullets flew wildly, shattering the shop windows on both sides of the commercial street, but at this point no shopkeeper came out to make trouble; they hid under tables, fearing they’d get caught in the crossfire.

"Look, it’s Radio City Music Hall." Wei Xiangnan, wearing headphones, huddled in the passenger seat clutching her computer, tapping away non-stop. Minutes later, she yelled again, "Wow, Citibank - such a grand building."

"Can you have some sense of urgency? You’re not here for sightseeing, are you?" The Warcraft brother teased his subordinate, taking it lightly, "Want to take the chance to rob it? How much gold reserve you think is in there?"

After breaking through several blocks, they encountered more pedestrians. The tough guys led the way, bulldozing through; a dozen Natives couldn’t avoid in time and were knocked flying.

"Can we not harm the innocents, please?" Dong Zixuan shouted, unafraid even if the other was a group leader.

"You expect me to show mercy to a bunch of potential enemies?" the tough guy roared back, "I’m already showing restraint by not killing them all."

Dong Zixuan’s face turned iron blue with anger.

Suddenly, a pedestrian burst into flames, a signal of sorts, and more pedestrians mutated, then surged towards the fleet.

Bang, a Mutated Creature leaped onto Lu Fan’s car; Little Lolita took out her AT-4, aimed it in front of the creature, and pulled the trigger.

Boom, the Mutated Creature was blasted through by the rocket shells and fell off, its flesh and blood spraying on the car’s walls like heavy rain, also drenching Lu Fan.

Little Lolita wiped her face and threw the rocket launcher away.

Twenty minutes later, the team shook off the Giant Soldiers and entered the alley, twisting and turning, crossing through several buildings, and finally hid in a hotel.

During this process, if there was any obstruction by the Natives, the issue wasn’t just the Memory Eraser; the presence of psychic ability users was enough to induce false memories in them, putting an end to their pursuit.

"I really want to sleep." Lu Fan dove onto the bed, sprawling out in the hotel’s guest room.

Aya woke up and started to make noise again, and the tough guy, along with several others, began to interrogate for information.

"There won’t be any trouble, right? Don’t let the tough guy kill Aya." Li Huiwen struck up a conversation, though she didn’t really care about Aya’s well-being.

Dantai hadn’t replied yet when a psychic storm swept through the living room, followed by various abilities piercing the walls, shooting in.

Shouts came from next door.

The enemy arrived too quickly, far beyond what the special agents expected.

The conquerors dodged; Dantai just stood up, intending to command, only to feel a strong sense of lethal danger – a dagger appeared out of thin air and sliced towards his skull.

Dantai had been consistently commanding the battle, so he was targeted, and Tang Zheng, as his group leader and also due to his outstanding performance before, was a primary target for the kill.
