Gate of Apocalypse

"It's the other team."

Nicole and Skylie both saw bright spots on their personal radars, meaning that an Awakened or player had entered the battle.

"It should have also used this place as a target location for gathering information and chose to force a break-in." Tian Lie stroked his chin, his eyes somewhat envious, "Damn, I should have made the first move then."

"What? And now you want to get involved?" Nicole glanced coldly at Tian Lie.

"...... Forget it." Tian Lie hesitated and shook his head, "The location of the meteorite has been found, we're driving over there now, it'll probably take more than an hour. If the place is attacked by another team, a large number of troops will immediately arrive, and then it will be troublesome to be entangled."

"That head of yours is finally a little more normal." Nicole nodded in satisfaction, stepped on the gas pedal and sped forward, "Let's go then!"

......

"There it is!"

Xia Xiaolei, who had been sitting on the sofa with his head hung and eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered.

"Location? Distance? Grade?"

Roddy immediately asked.

Both he and Flagimusi had already taken off their regular clothes and put on their protective suits, waiting to depart at any moment.

"Southeast, five kilometers." Xia Xiaolei stood up, "There are five people, two of them using B-grade skills and one A-grade skill. The remaining two are unknown, probably using weapons to participate in the battle."

Xia Xiaolei's natural skill, Eagle Eye, after solidifying on his personal radar, increased the detection range from the normal one kilometer to ten kilometers, while also displaying the skill level used to detect the target.

"The highest one is only A-grade, not a big problem." Roddy smiled confidently, "Then, let's go! Go to the vicinity first, and after confirming the strength of the opponent, start to capture."

......

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Get a grip!"

A tough-looking player in heavy metal armor is staring at his surroundings, scanning the area warily.

In front of him was a skinny young man wearing goggles, typing away on a computer with a crackling keyboard.

In the office, there were bodies lying all over the floor, most of them in their uniforms, but outside the office door, there were many uniformed security soldiers among the bodies.

There were also three members of the team, who were each guarding a corner of the office, aiming their guns at doors and windows where enemies might be present, focused on vigilance.

"I'm doing the best I can, boss!" The skinny young man chuckled, "The US military's level of cyber protection is mediocre. But what's your hurry? The security at this kind of R&D base won't be strong, not to mention that we've already been killed. Even if reinforcements arrive, are we afraid?"

"The problem isn't the reinforcements, it's the other teams." The man in the armor shook his head, "Although this copy isn't a competitive copy, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be other teams looting in it. Hurry up, get information on the location of the meteorite, and then leave immediately!"

"All right! Found it!" The skinny young man hit the enter key heavily and looked at the screen in front of him: "Alien Meteorite Crash ...... Town of Greendale ...... Departure Time ...... "

"Ah!!!"

A bloody light suddenly blossomed.

A player standing between two windows suddenly let out a scream, and his entire body was cut in half from the hip all the way to the canopy by an invisible blade. The protective clothing on his body was like a piece of rag, unable to block even a single blow before being cut cleanly into.

In front of his body, the spilled blood outlined an invisible human shape.

"Enemy attack!"

The man in armor reacted at once and slammed his right hand in the direction of the slain teammate with a straight punch.

Directly in front of the fist, the air was suddenly compressed and blasted past like a cannon.

The skinny young man rolled up, pulled out two laser pistols, and the whole man suddenly fell backwards, sliding flatly backwards until he came into contact with a pillar, then strangely reared up, arms apart, and aimed the gun at a 180-degree range in front of the body.

Flagimusi rolled over and dodged the air cannon, only to have the body in the back, along with the wall, blown apart.

Another blue-haired player punched the ground, raising a wall of ice in front of him.

The wall of ice had just risen when the two short swords crossed by Kesshi Mukai also pierced the ice wall with a clanking sound. The short swords were so sharp that they easily pierced through the ice wall, but because of their length, they couldn't penetrate.

"Gotcha!"

The blue-haired player shouted in surprise.

Both short swords were embedded in the ice wall, and as they stopped moving, QiMusi's invisibility effect also disappeared, revealing his body.

On the ice wall, several ice cones suddenly protruded and shot towards Banner Mushi.

Although this enemy was extremely fast, her short sword was now stuck in the ice wall, and she would have to give up her weapon to avoid the ice cones.

The other players had quickly pulled out their weapons, and the armored man in the lead had regained his strength and was ready to deliver a more powerful punch.

But Flagimusi did not dodge at all.

Just as the ice pick was about to hit, several beams of light suddenly shot out from the aisle outside the back door, melting and evaporating the ice picks directly.

On the other side of the front door, Xia Xiaolei slammed into the wall of the aisle and rushed down the aisle toward the office in stride.

His body was covered with a layer of crust-like biomass armor that wrapped his entire body tightly, and even his eyes turned into two clusters of crystals.

A bio-crystal in each palm of his hands swept out several rays of light again, melting holes in the wall of ice, and the short sword of Flagimusi was pulled out again.

Two laser pistols and a heavy machine gun were swept over at the same time.

Flagimusi ducked and flipped out of the window.

Xia Xiaolei, however, was still moving quickly toward the house. In the face of the ammunition and energy beams, he just stretched out his hands to protect his head and face, but his feet didn't stop.

Under the bombardment of bullets and energy beams, his arms immediately sprouted dozens of tentacles, spiraling out to the sides, forming two shields that covered the upper half of his body. Although countless wounds and scorch marks were inflicted, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

In a flash of light, two giant wolves suddenly appeared in front, opened their mouths, and sprayed two streaks of electric light the thickness of a bucket forward.

The lightning struck Xia Xiaolei's body, halting his forward momentum and burning half of his body to a crisp.

But as soon as the lightning disappeared, his injuries began to recover rapidly. Before the two giant wolves had time to emit a second burst of electricity, the burned and rotted half of his body was already almost completely recovered.

Three tentacles suddenly protruded from his right arm, twisted into one, and hardened to form a lance several meters long.

Stabbing!

The lance pierced the first wolf's mouth like lightning, running it through from head to tail.

His left hand opened in an instant, revealing the biological crystal in his palm again.

A beam of light shot out from the crystal and swept across the waist of the second giant wolf, slicing its body in half.

"What!"

The skinny young man screamed, his face white as a sheet.

These two electric magic wolves were his battle pets, and although their initial grade was not high, they had devoured and evolved several times, and their combat power was not weak, yet they were killed in an instant.

Boom!

The floorboards suddenly shattered, and a Sentinel armor crashed through the floorboards from the lower level and rushed into the room. The saber on its right arm swept violently across the room.

"Sentinel armor?!"

The armored man in charge of the team had just finished storing up his strength when he saw the Sentinel Armor jump up from the next floor, and the fist that was going to be blasted at Xia Xiaolei directly in front of him twisted halfway around and punched the Sentinel Armor.

The team that could have the Sentinel Armor, whether it was a player or an Awakened, would not be that weak.

Although he had been cautious enough to consider the possibility that he might be hunted before, the armored man still didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly!

And so strong!

But fortunately, the Sentinel armor appeared just in time for his full-strength strike.

The air in front of his fist was visibly compressed into a small, dense ball of air and blasted away at the Sentinel armor.

A huge shockwave of air exploded on the Sentry armor, shaking the entire building. The Sentinel armor was also blown backward and slid several meters.

But the man in armor's face suddenly changed.

The Sentinel armor was not damaged at all by a solid frontal blow from his own full strength!

He was well aware of the power of his mountain-shaking strike. Although the biggest drawback was that it took too long to build up the strength to use the full power, once the strength was built up and a strike was delivered, the power was incredibly high. Even if it can't completely destroy a Sentry, it can at least partially destroy it, or at least temporarily incapacitate it.

This Sentinel armor ...... has a problem!

But the armored man didn't have much time to think anymore. After being knocked back a few meters with a single punch, the Sentinel armor raised its right arm in a split second and swept out a curtain of bullets at him.

At the same time, Xia Xiaolei also broke into the formation of these players.

Creeping, the tentacle of his right hand changed from a spear to a giant axe and swept past. The blue-haired player who had just stopped in front of him with his arm guard let out a scream and was swept away by the giant axe.

When the B+ high-grade alloy armguards touched, they only had time to explode with a pale blue light before they were cut through two deep gaps. The axe blade even passed through the protective clothing under the armguard, cutting both arms in half the depth.

When the light blue light erupted, it also wrapped a layer of frost around the giant axe that Xia Xiaolei had evolved in his right arm.

After the frost froze the giant axe, it did not stop there, but continued to extend downward. Because of the rapid heat expansion and cold contraction, tiny cracking sounds were heard all the time.

Xia Xiaolei's entire face and both eyes were covered with crystals, so he couldn't see his expression or eyes, but he just looked down at his right arm and saw that the frost was still spreading upward, and his left arm quickly changed from a crystal to a sharp blade, slicing into his right arm.

The entire frozen right arm, along with the tip of the battle axe, fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into powder.

But on the wound of Xia Xiaolei's right arm, countless flesh buds emerged, tangled and twisted, and began to grow rapidly.

On the other side, a player was still firing wildly at Xia Xiaolei with a heavy machine gun, but the bullets hit Xia Xiaolei's body, but only penetrated a shallow few centimeters, and were quickly expelled from his body by the writhing biological tissue.

Then - blood splattered!

From a window on the other side of the building, a blurred shadow had flashed in at speed.

Another mere slash!

The blade sliced through the protective suit and gutted the player.

Within just a few dozen seconds, Flagimusi had circled the outside of the building in a half circle and popped in through a window on the other side!

On the other side, the leader of the squad, the man in the armor, had leapt to his feet and raced toward a window.
