Chapter 977: Chapter 33 Insect Tide_2

Qin Yan and the others had already entered their respective defense zones, deploying tanks and Beetle Assault Vehicles to suppress the cannon fodder with fire. Gunshots erupted in an instant, but they were quickly drowned out by the chewing sounds of the Camel Bugs.

"Old Xu, take this gun," Tang Zheng tossed a captured Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle along with twenty ammo clips to the miserable man. With this, the Warhammer Team was now fully equipped with S-grade firearms.

Lin Cheng and Zeng Fanghai looked at the Thunderstorms in their hands, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear. Why was the difference between people so vast?

"Don’t be nervous, aim well and shoot, and quickly use this opportunity to cultivate courage and experience," Qin Yan encouraged the newbies, inspiring them to fight bravely.

Tang Zheng noticed that among the newbies, Feng Ning, Kong Dai, and Li Li were the most outstanding. Their tactical maneuvers were by the book, looking quite professional, obviously well-trained.

"There are too many of them, let’s break out, otherwise we’ll be consumed here," Dantai said as he used a Heavy Gravity Gun to blast a Camel Bug, which was immediately replaced by more of the swarm—no sign of their numbers decreasing. They had to move.

"Proceed as planned," Tang Zheng wasn’t going to engage in a pointless struggle with these creatures. "Dantai, you’re in command!"

"Aren’t we waiting for the other squads?" Jesus Man still hoped the Group Leader would arrive in time.

"No waiting," Dantai immediately named the people, "Brother Lin, Old Xu, Xu Nian, Lin Chen, go open the way at the ten o’clock direction. Tong Ping, Xin Lan, you two cover the rear."

"Don’t just stand there, move quickly," Tong Ping urged Xu Nian and Lin Chen when he saw them looking towards him because there was no room for the slightest slack at this moment.

"Tang Zheng, Lu Fan, you two cover the retreat," Dantai began to miss a powerful area of effect offensive member. Once faced with a sea of bugs, the team members felt a bit out of their depth.

"Jing Xiang, you use this," Tang Zheng handed the First Bow of the East Sea Road to Jing Xiang. The office lady, upon receiving it, immediately drew the bowstring to its limit and unleashed a volley of shots.

Hundreds of speckled arrows whistled out, exploding amidst the swarm of insects and scattering limbs everywhere. But in a blink, they were overwhelmed, and within a few breaths, the bugs had swarmed within thirty meters.

"Pioneers, clear the way," Dantai would not tolerate such sluggish efficiency and urged again.

"Let me show you my Firestorm!" Xu Nian was proud, wanting to earn Qin Yan’s favor by showcasing his strength. After rushing out of the Coffee House’s Main Entrance, he took out two lighters, one in each hand, and with a swipe of his thumb, sparks burst forth as two Flame Dragons roared into existence.

The air was rapidly sucked away, and the newbies felt suffocated and scorched, their exposed skin drying out as if they were in a furnace.

Dozens of the fastest charging Camel Bugs, seeing their prey emerge from the Main Entrance, immediately attacked, only to be swallowed by the Flame Dragons and burned to a crisp, collapsing to the ground as charred corpses.

Old Soldiers and Xu Liangmao had abilities to hit and withstand, entirely of the combat engineer type, perfectly suited to fill in the gaps left by Xu Nian. Lin Chen’s wind abilities were not bad either; Wind Blades flew, slaughtering everything along the way.

"Quick, quick, don’t freeze up. Get out, keep up, don’t fall behind," Li Xinlan was urging the newbies. A few of them were so scared by the sight and smell of the bugs that their legs were trembling. In this state, they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they tried.

"You want to stay here waiting to be eaten? Run," Lu Fan drove them on, with over sixty newbies there was plenty for her to do.

Shen Qingshuang didn’t have the patience, hitting people with the butt of her gun, but once they took that first step, things would become much easier.

Li Xinlan and Tong Ping moved to protect the group in the middle. As soon as she stepped out the door, the older woman waved and shot out a large number of ice cones, skewering many bugs.

Tong Ping appeared to also have an ability for mass killing, but it was quite bizarre. He suddenly inhaled, his lungs expanding, then exhaled sharply, and a semi-transparent sphere shot out at high speed. Upon impact with the bugs, it suddenly collapsed into a gravitational crush, turning the insects within a hundred square meters into a mass of broken flesh, as if they had been plunged into a meat grinder. In an instant, the ground was smeared with meat sauce.

Teng Yuangxiang was initially by Tang Zheng’s side. When she heard Dantai tell him to cover the retreat, she felt somewhat dissatisfied. What surprised her was that Tang Zheng actually agreed. In her view, Tang Zheng had absolute authority and should seek benefits for himself, he definitely shouldn’t be doing something this dangerous. She had wanted to stay hidden within the team, but seeing Jing Xiang obediently standing by the Group Leader’s side, she bit her teeth and followed.

"You’re making the Group Leader cover the retreat? That’s too heartless," Zheng Xiaxia was with Dantai and found it somewhat unbelievable. How could the Group Leader do such a thing?

"I’m only at ease if he covers the retreat," Dantai shot his gun. Only with Tang Zheng holding the rear could he focus the main force upfront and break through the encirclement of bugs sooner. "Ha, our Group Leader is worth ten men alone."

"But what about that Little Lolita?" Zheng Xiaxia didn’t think Lu Fan was up to the task. The others also had similar expressions, all believing Dantai’s decision was rather unreliable.

"Just wait and see," Dantai urged the newbies once more, "Don’t fall behind, and don’t point your guns at your own people."

Xu Nian went on a killing spree, getting carried away and even activating the first stage. The two lighters spun in his hands, continuously spewing streams of Fire Dragons, slaughtering the swarm of insects and leaving behind many charred Camel Bugs.

A thick smell of char spread through the air.

Xin Lan’s Ice Age was also very powerful. As the swarm of bugs surged from the left, an ice layer suddenly extended on the ground. Then, as if a cluster of flowers had bloomed overnight in spring, numerous icy spikes shot out, piercing through the swarm and leaving behind thousands of corpses. The green blood flowed down the white icicles, creating a stark contrast.
