Chapter 251: Chapter 137: Out of the Abyss!_2

Wang Jixuan hammered on the controls with increasing frequency.

The King Beast began to relentlessly ram into No. 82 Fortress.

The tens of thousands of elderly people who had volunteered to stay in the fortress now clenched the firearms in their hands, waiting for the last glimmer of their life’s journey.

The tens of thousands of Lower City residents who hadn’t been able to evacuate huddled with their families and friends, awaiting their fate.

The Blade Beast Group was charging;

Human firepower was pouring down.

On a larger battlefield, six frontline battlefields erupted into war simultaneously, with the Six King-level Blade Beasts active in the outer D5 Combat Zone striking at once, some lines had already been breached, and both sides began to fight for control of positions back and forth.

The outer offensive of the Six King-level Blade Beast Group was just putting pressure on the human forces as a whole.

The decisive point lay where those two vertical-pupiled beasts were!

Wang Jixuan could only force himself not to think about the humans in No. 82 Fortress who hadn’t been able to retreat.

Endure, he could only endure; any rash action from him would impact the layout of the Seventh Battlefield, leading to an even greater disaster.

Both sides were pressing each other.

And clearly, the Blade Beasts were the less patient ones.

"Commander! Six General Level Blade Beasts are surging up from underground!"

"Commander, a new Blade Beast Group signal has suddenly been detected, three kilometers to our left! The count is sixty thousand and rising! To avoid our dense minefields, they have begun to emerge!"

"Activate reserve forces, engage preset No. 6 defensive line! All No. 1 drone positions, take to the sky!"

The war escalated step by step.

...

Every second was torture for Zhou Zhengde.

He was just a security team captain, unable to be of much help, so previously, Zhou Zhengde had planned to hide in his ’cell-like’ dorm, quietly waiting for the outcome of the war, not wanting to cause trouble for others.

But in the end, he couldn’t hold back, and using his identity, he made it to the Combined Combat Zone’s command center in D5, locating the room from which one could monitor the entire ’Seventh Battlefield.’

Hundreds of screens formed three walls, displaying various battle situations.

More than a dozen messengers stood ready, poised to relay the situation from the Seventh Battlefield to higher command at any moment.

Zhou Zhengde could see everything.

The barren desert within a five-kilometer radius was enduring a deluge of human firepower and Blade Beast limbs; endless Blade Beasts crawled out of the ground, attacking the human ranks. New underground passages were constantly being created by chthonian worms; the enemy even used this method to cut off the connection between several fire bases and defense camps.

There was no brutal close-quarters bloodshed, only the slaughter between the human technological military and the Blade Beasts.

Some of the peripheral positions had already been breached by Blade Beasts, and the fragile human warriors were easily torn to shreds.

The drone swarm swiftly filled the gaps in the line, and the rain of cannon fire from above shattered swathes of Blade Beasts.

Humanity had been warring with Blade Beasts for long years; all technology was focused on how to kill Blade Beasts efficiently, continually advancing.

Zhou Zhengde felt a fierce twitch at the corner of his eye.

General Level Blade Beast!

A General Level Blade Beast more than twenty meters tall, with an "Headless humanoid" structure, shattered the sand dunes, creating a new passage and leading a large group of Blade Beasts toward Wang Jixuan’s location.

A massive barrage of fire poured down, yet the General Level Blade Beast erected a thick green light film around itself, keeping the explosions at bay, ten meters away from its body!

However, the persistent attacks from the humans still obstructed the forward charge of this General Level Blade Beast.

More drones swarmed in, and a huge noise filled the air. Humans, who had air superiority, dispatched heavy-lift multirotor helicopters, towing four medium-sized Firepower Mechas, each standing over ten meters tall, close to the General Level Blade Beast.

Mecha deployment.

The pilots inside the four cockpits simultaneously executed a squat, letting the Mechas land steadily, each wrapped in swarm drones, starting to charge towards the General Level Blade Beast.

Commander Dongfang Zhenghong had already allocated enough firepower to suppress the General Level Blade Beast and the group it was leading.

After several minutes of fierce combat, a similar scenario unfolded again.

Another General Level Blade Beast ambush, human aerial Firepower Mecha drop.

Two massive Secondary Horror Mechas remained stationary; the human side’s firepower was far from its limit, everyone was waiting, waiting for the appearance of the King-level Blade Beast.

Within a few minutes, three more swarms of Blade Beasts emerged from underground, one of which took heavy casualties from the dense minefield yet still forcibly broke through a cannon position, causing a small-scale confusion in the human camp.

The three-dimensional offensive and defensive battle was heating up.

The Space Fortress’s dispatched space carrier fleet had joined the battle, continuously dropping drone swarms to help ground troops gain air superiority.

The number of surface General Level Blade Beasts had risen to five, with two already severely injured;

The human mecha assault squad had utilized most of their forces;

Wang Jixuan, stationed at the sand dune, stood alone in the center of the battlefield, his vertical pupil on his helmet attracting most of the Blade Beast Group.

The surroundings were a scene of a gruesome battle.

The sand dunes around had been almost leveled by explosions.

All the areas and battlefields were almost arranged around this sand dune!

The Blade Beasts wanted to charge over and destroy the marked human by the vertical pupil, and the humans, in turn, desperately destroyed every Blade Beast that came within the range of their fire.

Wang Jixuan was merely wearing his war armor, wielding a long spear, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

Zhou Zhengde quietly observed the figure on the screen, and he could hardly imagine what kind of scene was at the very center of the battlefield, nor what kind of pressure it must bear.

The messenger suddenly shouted:

"The fortress’s protective layer has been breached!"

"A King-level Blade Beast has broken through No. 82 Fortress, and fluctuations have appeared in the Central District Area, and it’s predicted to affect levels 39 to 34!"

"All the gates have been closed!"

"Small groups of Blade Beasts have entered the fortress! The self-defense system has been activated! The King Beast is turning! The King Beast is starting to turn!"

"The vertical pupil above the fortress has disappeared!"

"The King Beast is heading towards the X mark! The King Beast is starting to rise!"

Zhou Zhengde’s heart leaped to his throat.

He nearly forgot to breathe, watching the battle situation depicted by each of these screens. He wanted to identify the figure of the King-level Blade Beast through this observation, to track its movements and remind Wang Zheng to retreat in time.

He almost stopped thinking.

In the screens, the battles everywhere became more intense, and parts of the human’s firepower units began to cease and reload.

Two Sub-horrifying Mechas, Jiao Long and Black Swan, were slowly ascending with a huge Magnetic Aura;

On the space carrier, batches of fighters were awaiting the order to strike.

The confrontations between humans and King-level Blade Beasts had occurred many times over the past century, and most of the time humanity was horribly defeated. However, after the creation of the Horror Mechas, the Blade Beasts’ offensives drastically decreased.

But this location wasn’t equipped with real Horror Mechas. These critical, decisive weapons had already been deployed according to the perimeter of the combat zone to combat the King-level Blade Beast Group.

The entire surveillance room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Zhengde and the messengers, everyone’s gaze unconsciously passed over the chaotic battlefields, beyond the mechas, drones, and the fighting with General Level Blade Beasts, beyond the endless bombing, beyond the scratches left by large-caliber anti-materiel firearms when fired, and locked onto the sand dune.

The sand dune, the supply vehicle, the human figure.

At a certain instant, this scene seemed to be in absolute stillness.

And this stillness was torn apart in the next instant.

The sand dune suddenly exploded entirely!

The ground cracked open a huge mouth! Strange ripples appeared on the ground, strong Spiritual Energy transformed into shock waves sweeping in all directions!

It was coming!

The King-level Blade Beast known as ’No.7 Assassin’ burst out of the earth!

Its gigantic head intended to devour everything!

Above Wang Jixuan, a huge stealth drone appeared; beneath the drone, the Magnetic Aura that formed glowed brightly, and Wang Jixuan shot up towards the sky like a bullet.

He raised his spear and looked down as a horror orifice over fifty meters in diameter below began to charge up a black beam of light!

Wang Jixuan swung his right hand down, his fingers spread, aiming at the supply vehicle falling into the mouth of the King Beast and then suddenly clenched into a fist!

Boom!

A layer of green light wrapped around the supply vehicle’s shell, preventing it from being shattered by the previous shock wave; this was a small Formation that Wang Jixuan had set up beforehand.

At this moment, the Blast Flame Talismans that covered the inside of the supply vehicle ignited all at once, wrapping around two tons of the latest high explosives and oxidizers from human military technology!

With a loud bang, a huge fireball blossomed!

The King Beast was blown to the left, while Wang Jixuan shot across the sky. The black beam of light was misdirected into the opposite side of the sky.

This strike pierced through the clouds, tearing apart the last curtain of the night, as if making the sunrise come early.

"Fire——"

Dongfang Zhenghong’s roar echoed through all command channels, countless lines of fire connected the launch points to the body of the King Beast!

The Secondary Horror Mecha Jiao Long descended from the sky!
