Chapter 979: Chapter 34: Overwhelming Bombardment

"It’s the Self-explosive bugs!" Jing Xiang scanned with her wristwatch and hurriedly relayed the results to Tang Zheng.

Once these Self-explosive bugs were given their targets by the Matriarch, they would madly carry out kamikaze-style attacks relentlessly until death. Each individual’s death was as powerful as an RPG Rocket, spewing out bodily fluids with intense corrosiveness. Moreover, a faint green gas began to gather, drifting towards them.

"Kill those Self-explosive bugs first!" Tang Zheng, holding a Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle in his right hand and a Devil Flame Pistol in his left, unleashed a barrage, bullets firing into the Self-explosive bugs and blowing them up. Consequently, the battlefield was enveloped in a series of explosions, and splashes of red and green liquid became the dominant color, leaving behind a carpet of flesh and blood in the wake of the mixed team.

Just as Tang Zheng had cleared this wave and was about to change his ammo clip, three more waves surged forth, and the most troublesome part was that they were now shielded by a large group of Armored Beatles serving as Meat Shields.

Lu Fan could only release the Desert Storm again to delay their assault, while Jing Xiang, using the First Bow from East Sea Road, attacked so frequently without considering the consequences that her Life Energy was rapidly depleted, leaving her feeling exhausted.

Dantai and his group couldn’t afford to pay attention to this side, as they were fully engaged in shooting down those barrel-shaped bugs. As they fell from mid-air, holes in their bodies emitted green Light beams, striking randomly. Even the Camel Bugs that got hit would instantly swell up at the injured part, then burst open, turning into piles of flesh and blood.

The remaining Ray Bugs crashed to the ground, rolling towards the mixed team without pause, and then shooting Light beams. They clearly lacked IQ, following only the simplest attack sequence, as those beams inadvertently hit the swarm of insects behind them.

The Camel Bugs hesitated, avoiding the Ray Bugs and flanking from both sides.

"They fire a volley every five seconds!" Li Xinlan observed meticulously and loudly warned the Newbies. But with nowhere to hide, all they could do was leave it to fate.

Tong Ping inhaled sharply, then puffed up his cheeks and continued exhaling, shooting a series of semi-transparent spheres into the swarm of insects, creating a collapse in space.

Li Xinlan did not attack this time. With a stomp of her left foot, a wall of white ice rose from the ground, just in time to block the Light beams shot by the remaining Ray Bugs. However, the Ice Wall also shattered, and the crumbling ice hit a Newbie in the head, causing blood to stream down his face.

Dantai and Bai Guo went in with Full firepower, killing three Blade Matriarch Bugs. Just as they were about to return to their formation, ten more charged out. The sky was also obscured by a dense swarm of Flying bugs, tens of thousands of them, each gripping a Ray Bug in their claws, hurtling towards the mixed team. If they managed a successful air drop, the entire team formation would be split apart.

On the ground, taking advantage of the Meat Shield Beatles’ path-clearing, the Self-explosive bugs also advanced within fifty meters, only seconds away from a clash. Moreover, Self-explosive bugs began to surge from other directions as well.

The Newbies pushed forward amidst the corpses of the bugs, their faces turning pale with fear. Their entire field of vision, as well as the sounds in their ears, were inundated with the Bugs and the rustling noise they made. At this moment, they felt as though they were going to be buried alive.

The bug Blood made the floor slippery, and one male Newbie, who had been wearing slippers, had lost them long ago in the chaos. His soles slipped on the blood, making it difficult to exert any force, and it seemed he also stepped on some hard particles that pricked him, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Help, help!" The man pleaded, struggling to get up but failing due to a twisted ankle.

The Newbies hurried past him, too overwhelmed to help. At that moment, just fleeing for their lives and avoiding the rays was exhausting enough.

The team moved quickly, and within seconds the man was at the back of the pack. Teng Yuangxiang naturally wouldn’t bother with him, sticking closely to Tang Zheng’s side, while Jing Xiang hesitated, wanting to help, but was worried about her own lack of ability.

"Forget him, if he can’t get up he can go die!" Tang Zheng scolded Jing Xiang. He was dual-wielding Weapons and had no time to care for a Newbie. Besides, in such a cruel scenario, saving someone would only cause more Newbies to harbor the illusion that the Conquerors might lend a hand. Once such a thought arises, death is certain.

"You can only save yourselves. If anyone falls behind, they’re dead!" Tang Zheng yelled out again, reminding the Newbies. He wanted to extract every bit of potential from these individuals. If they survived this ordeal, perhaps a few strong Newbies would be identified.

The Team needed a fresh infusion of Blood, particularly males with formidable Combat power.

Tang Zheng’s words sent a chill through the Newbies, and they unconsciously quickened their pace. The man in slippers became desperate, enduring the pain in his foot and crawling forward hectically.

"Don’t, don’t leave me behind!"

"You can move, can’t you!" Lu Fan had just finished speaking when he quickly ducked, a green Light beam grazing over his head.

After another five seconds of charging, the Ray Bugs fired a volley. One male Newbie was extremely unlucky, getting hit in the left leg, which visibly swelled and then burst.

"Ah, it hurts so much, save me!" The male Newbie held his severed leg and screamed, writhing in agony on the ground. The Newbies ran by without a second glance, spurred even further by the gruesome wound.

"Wait, you can’t abandon me." The man with the broken leg panicked as he saw the hurrying legs around him and even Tang Zheng and Lu Fan running five meters ahead. Then, looking back, he saw the swarm of insects descending upon him.
