Gate of Apocalypse

Despite the fact that the variants were becoming more numerous and stronger, the convoy was still moving slowly but surely.

Only within the team, there were already casualties.

"Damn it, Tire, do you really think we'll be able to hold them off until we reach the target location at this rate!"

Roddy, maneuvering the Tide Fighter, had released all of his drones and had been firing all of his own firepower in unison, yelling at the tires on the team channel, "Damn, there's too many enemies in the sky! The tidal fighter can't hold on any longer!"

"Then come down!" Tire was also worried about what might happen to the tidal fighters and immediately ordered to Roddy, "Spare tire, Tian Lie, Xia Xiaolei, clear a space in front!"

The others in the meteorite squad were already scattered around the team for support. Tian Lie seemed to be used to receiving commands from the tires by now, and although he didn't answer, he flew over to the location marked by the tires, blasting several of the gathered mutants with a roar.

The spare tire, on the other hand, remained parked in the bucket of a pickup truck, not moving a single step, but reorienting its left arm and sweeping a curtain of bullets towards Tian Lie's body.

Xia Xiaolei's body twisted, stomped on the ground with both feet, and rushed into the group of mutants in front of him, his arms evolving into bone blades, cutting out bodies all over the ground like a whirlwind.

Soon, a small temporary landing field was cleared out.

"Hurry up, Roddy! The time window is not long!" Tires roared.

"Fuck me! It is! No! Know! Dao! It!"

Muttering viciously, Roddy flew and maneuvered the tidal fighter down, immediately stowing it in his storage gear and taking out his Sentinel armor.

Although the current situation was dire, the crate of Gundams had not yet reached the point where they had to be used.

Nicole had been guarding the tidal fighter in the sky, and after Roddy landed, she landed as well, and although she still looked exhausted, she pulled out her ion shock sword and rushed into the group of mutants with a strong spirit.

It was safer to fire with the beam cannon, but the corresponding energy consumption was greater. In this kind of battle, where there was little end in sight, she still chose melee.

"Can't hold back! We must retreat for a while!"

The leader of the Morning Glory group, Calling Rain, rushed to the tire and looked excited: "Two of our team members have been injured! Many of everyone's skills are also on cooldown! We need to recuperate!"

"It's just an injury! Can't you see that people from other teams have already died!" Tire looked at him coldly, "Cut the crap and top me off! Do you think that thunderstorm chariot was used for nothing!"

"We're going to die if we keep on top!" Calling the rain, squeezing the fist tightly

"Death is death! It's a fucking copy, and there's no such thing as immortality!" Tire waved his hand impatiently, "You can retreat even if you have to, hand over the Thunderstorm Chariot and then you can rest for fifteen minutes!"

"This ......" called the rain showed a hesitant expression.

The tire sneered, "Want to use it? If you want to use it, get the fuck in front of me and take it on!"

The tire secretly cursed his mother in his heart as he watched Calling Rain run back with an annoyingly fast pace.

If you hadn't been given a thunderstorm chariot, you would have had more than two injured now. I'm just afraid that a few have died.

If you want a horse to run, you can't let it run without grass, and the tire knows that.

But now that I've given you grass, you've got to give me a good run!

Calling Rain jumped into a pickup truck and was giving orders on the team channel when a wave of bone spurs suddenly gathered fire towards him.

Calling Rain quickly took out a square scarf and unfolded it in front of him, immediately changing it from the size of a handkerchief to three meters square. When the bone spikes hit the scarf, they emitted a series of muffled noises, but none of them penetrated.

But at the same time, dozens of watermelon-sized spheres suddenly fell from the sky above, smashing into the square scarf that was calling the rain.

The spheres were yellowish-green, soft-looking, and seemed to be flowing with liquid inside. After hitting the square scarf, it suddenly exploded, spewing out a huge puff of liquid.

The scarf was originally suspended in the air by itself, but when it came into contact with the liquid, it was immediately dissolved into a thousand holes and fell to the ground.

The few Awakened people who were close to it were also splashed by the liquid, and their protective clothing was immediately burned through, rolling all over the ground with a cry of pain.

"My Chishengbu ！！！！"

Rainmaker immediately let out a heart-rending scream, but the scream wasn't over yet, as another wave of bone spikes shot intensely at him.

Calling Rain's protective suit was not low enough to be pierced by the wave of spikes, but his entire body was knocked underneath the pickup with the force of the impact.

At the same time, a new batch of mutants also came from the front.

"Fuck!"

The tire cursed.

This batch of mutants, clearly different from before, had once again been upgraded.

The previous variants were all multifarious in appearance, and it was almost impossible to find two of them that were exactly the same. But now this new batch of reinforcements appeared, while uniformly there were only a few types.

The front row was a heavy rhino-like creature, with a hardened cuticle so thick that even heavy machine guns could not penetrate it, and only cannons over 20mm caliber posed little threat.

Behind them are a group of slender, spiky, praying mantis-type monsters with three bone blades on each arm, spinning like propellers.

The individuals further back had a pair of huge arms, which were covered with dense honeycomb-like holes, in which bone spines were constantly growing, which were then ejected by high-speed air currents. Although there had already been mutants capable of spur injection, neither the speed nor the density was as good as this new batch.

At the far end was a group of huge, slow-moving, turret-like variants. After finding the right spot, they stretched out eight bone-like knobby limbs, plunged deep into the ground to immobilize themselves, and then reared up to the sky, hurling wave after wave of acid sacs.

The spare tire had already changed the direction of its fire projection to the front for the first time, but this time it was far less effective than before. Despite the shrapnel flying, the damage caused was limited.

The two thunderstorm tanks in the front row opened fire at the same time. The heavy mutant defense, although powerful, but naturally far from staring at the Thunderstorm Chariot's main gun power, however, the arc of light coverage is really limited, only a few dozen of the first wave of mutants were coked, the rest still came up against the gunfire.

Under the cover of those heavy mutants, after advancing to a certain distance, those slender-bodied mutants immediately jumped up high, overtaking their counterparts in front of them, and jumped into the pile of people.

"Melee! Prepare for melee!"

Calling the rain struggled to get up from the ground, roared hoarsely, and at the same time took out a long rope himself, shaking it gently, the long rope immediately straightened, like an iron rod, and drew it towards a melee mutant.

Originally, although the defense was very hard, the whole fleet was like an iron barrel, and the mutant almost never broke through the front line. But this time, the entire formation was immediately and immediately breached.

When an opening was broken through, the mutants immediately poured in like a tidal wave. The original concentrated firepower immediately turned into separate battles.

The Awakened and the players threw down their firearms and turned to melee.

One player's body swelled up like a blow-up balloon, using the same muscle-fruit ability as a tire, arms covered with armor, and shouted to stop a heavy mutant that was coming at them at full speed. The heavy mutant was stopped by the dull sound of flesh colliding, but the player's feet were also sunk deep into the ground.

The player, red-faced and teeth chattering, gained the upper hand in the four-armed tussle, and finally yelled, ripping one of the mutant's arms off, and then punching it in the torso, blowing the entire upper body out of existence.

But then, three more heavy mutants rushed toward him, followed by two more high-speed melee mutants, while countless bone spurs shot intensely toward him.

The player killed two heavy variants with his bare hands, but his belly was cut open by the bone blade and he fell down screaming wildly.

The venom-spewing variants in the distance launched another volley.

This time the target was the thunderstorm chariot used by the dawn group.

Numerous bullets and beams of light were focused in mid-air, bursting the wave of venom sacs in the air. Most of the venom was vaporized in mid-air, but a small portion of it gushed out and rained down like flowers in the sky.

The electromagnetic shield on the thunderstorm chariot could not stop the inflow of the liquid, but it was penetrated and fell on the surface of the armor. The strongly corrosive venom immediately scorched the armor, and in the blink of an eye it had become riddled with holes, emitting wisps of smoke.

Fortunately, the venom was not concentrated and flowed down, but only burned numerous tiny holes in the thunderstorm chariot. But once a few more waves came, it would be absolutely unbearable.

"Everyone, stop forward! Switch to defense in place! Kemishi! Get rid of those long-range monsters!"

Tire roared loudly at the surroundings, and jumped out of the pickup himself, shield in his left hand, battle axe in his right, and killed his way into the gap ahead.

Qiao Qiao turned on her anti-materialization skill, turned into a black mist, and pounced on it.

Xiu Xiu summoned more than ten fire phoenixes in one breath, soaring and diving down.

Xia Xiaolei's right arm evolved into a high-frequency sword, and his left arm's biomass hot-wire cannon strafed as hard as it could.

The spare tire took out two more large ingots from his storage gear, and the liquid metal arms were both slightly red from the high heat brought on by the constant firing.

Tian Lie was at the front, his body the most resistant, neither bone spikes nor bone blades could do any real damage to him, instead the black swords in both hands were able to cut off a mutant with each thrust.

Several people struck at the same time, suddenly closing the gap that had just been violently breached. The mutant that had rushed inside was also cleared with difficulty by the many players and Awakened ones.

At the first moment of the tire's order, Hana-Musi had instantly passed through the layers of surrounded monsters and flashed into the group of mutants spewing acid sacs through the gaze lock skill.

"Lotus - Blast!"

There were nearly a hundred mutants in that group, and to kill them all in a short time, Qi Muxi could only activate her own big move.

Her entire body suddenly seemed to turn into a shadow, rushing toward the first mutant at great speed.

The blade light provoked from the bottom up!

The light of the blade was fleeting, but nothing unusual happened. And QiMusi had already rushed toward the other mutant again.

The figure flashed!

A knife raised from the bottom up!

A knife raised from the bottom up!

A knife raised from the bottom up!

Like a rushing pillar of fire, the blade lights flashed up and down, and in the space of a breath, nearly a hundred of them had flashed past.

In a short moment, Qi Muxi had returned to the front of the first mutant.

Then-.

Burst!

It was only then that the nearly one hundred slashes of Qi Muxi suddenly took effect at the same time, and every mutant that had been flashed by the light of the slashes not only took one slash, but every inch of its body was pierced by countless slashes.

The gushing blood plasma filled the sky and poured out all over the face of Kesshi Mukai.

Her blood-dampened hair hung down beside her cheeks, and her cold, iron gaze made her look as if she were a demon rising from the sea of blood.

But her body was trembling slightly, and she suddenly swayed and collapsed.

In order to kill the group of long-range mutants, she could only choose to expend all her strength in a short period of time.

In the sky, a ray of light rushed down like a meteor, heading straight for Chelmusi.

Nicole turned her floating thrusters up to maximum power, picked up Kessimusi in a dive, dodged nimbly between numerous bone spikes, flew back to the fleet, and threw Kessimusi down with a loose hand.

"Well done!" Xia Xiaolei jumped up high, picked up the flagship, and carefully placed it on the compartment of a pickup truck, squeezed his fist and growled low.

The flag woodshed, already pale with fatigue, could only nod slowly, and managed to squeeze out a smile.

Although the group of mutants with the acid sac projection ability was killed by Flagimusi's assault, the mutants on the outskirts continued to pour in like a tidal wave, and the flying mutants overhead were replaced by a uniform species with long, streamlined bodies, also using bone blades as weapons, diving downward in turns.

"Damn it, Tire, if this keeps up, I'm going to have to use the Gundam!"

Roddy leapt high in his Sentinel armor and then smashed heavily into one of the mutants, the metal battle blade against a spinning bone blade, cutting the bone blade in two after an ear-splitting friction sound, but was himself shocked back two steps and a small piece of the battle blade crumbled away.

"Use it now, what to do later!" Tire's tomahawk splintered a heavy mutant, splattered with blood, and didn't bother to wipe it off, yelling on the team channel, "Did you forget we have an S-class Adric to deal with!"

"Right now it's not even a matter of what's going to happen later!" Roddy cursed, "What are these guys made of! How can it be so hard!"

The original left arm of the armor he was now piloting had been ripped off and destroyed, the spares on the back mount had not been reinforced by the star sand, and several gaps had appeared in the battle knife on it in just a few moments.

"No matter how hard it is, hold on to me! You back off, get Adam out of there, and start building bunkers immediately!" Tire finished on the team channel and yelled behind him, "Corundum! Where's the corundum from the giant rock squad! Get your ass over here!"

A petrified player ran over and glared at the tires, "We're only in a partnership now, so don't use that tone of command with me! Don't forget, we're players, you're just dirt-"

"Don't give me any fucking shit!" Tire grabbed him by the neck and gritted his teeth, "Now is not the time for you to be yelling to me about social etiquette! If you want to live, you'll do as you're told! Just to be clear, even if all of you die, we still have a chance to get out! Now we need to save everyone's lives! One more pushy sentence and I'll fucking break your neck right now!"

Corundum's body was also large and strong, and appeared to be even larger when the tire was not able to carry the muscle fruit. But when the tire strangled his neck, he couldn't even move a muscle.

The murderous aura that pervaded the tire's body made him stop even thinking about talking back.

"Okay, now it's time for you to exert your abilities!" Tire looked back and saw that Roddy had retreated back into the convoy, removing a large pile of alloy plates from his storage gear.

The alloy plates had already been prefabricated, and Adam flew through them, quickly laying the foundation and creating the beginnings of a fortress.

"This ......"

Kongyu was stunned at what was happening in front of her.

"Don't be dumbfounded!" Tire pushed Corundum heavily and said sternly, "Put your reinforcement skills to work! These alloy plates alone can't stop that kind of acid corrosion!"

With a strong anger in his heart, Kongyu quickly rushed toward the alloy fortress, stretched out his left hand, and pressed it on an alloy plate.

Numerous tiny crystals grew out of thin air from the alloy plate, gradually covering the surface.

The tire had paid special attention to corundum's skill when he was doing the pre-battle deployment with the eighteen captains.

He was able to crystallize any object, and while possessing extreme high strength, he was also able to have some resistance to high temperature, low temperature, acid and alkali.

Roddy's storage equipment had been packed with a large number of alloy prefabricated panels, and relying on Adam's assembly, he could quickly build a small fortress in less than ten minutes.

Although it wasn't too big, but if you squeezed it, you could still barely fit everyone in it now.

Coupled with corundum's crystalline ability, it should be able to hold off the next wave of long-range bombardment for now.

In the distance, a new wave of long-range mutants has appeared and will soon be in range. But according to Tire's projections, the fortress should be able to be built before the next round of fire.

But here's the problem: ......

Even if we can prevent this wave for now, what's next?

The number of these variants is simply endless. If they were forced to stop their advance now, it would mean that they would have to be passively beaten and exhausted alive.

This is already the outskirts of the city, and apart from this small, makeshift fortress, it is completely defenseless. Even if it continued to drag on, with the number of people here, it was only a matter of time before they would slowly be overwhelmed by the massive amount of these mutants!

As Adam built, the beginnings of a small fortress soon took shape. At the tire's command, several smaller teams had gone in first, firing non-stop at the outside, relying on the firing holes in the walls.

A few of the meteorite team members, on the other hand, remained at the outermost perimeter, firmly holding the defense as a fulcrum.

"Damn, Tire, what the hell were you planning!" Tian Lie angrily shouted on the team channel, "If we keep stalling, we'll be buried here with them! Don't you guys have tidal warplanes! We're on our own!"

"Nowhere is there room to take off!" The tire grunted, "And if you look up in the sky, there are so many flying species, even if we could fly, could we fly with them to our destination!"

"Then give me an idea!" Tian Lie shouted.

"I have an idea! But cut the fucking crap now! Hold on to me and tell everyone to pull back! And - get me a live one!"
