Gate of Apocalypse

It was a high-speed melee mutant, and after being captured alive, the bone blades on its body had been broken off, and its limbs had been death-bound by a gel-like substance. Although it kept trying to struggle, it couldn't move a bit.

And although Xia Xiaolei was on the verge of vomiting, he was still holding him in his arms in a deathly embrace.

From Xia Xiaolei's body, there were dozens of tentacles extending, the ends of which blended into the mutant's body, making the picture look even more bizarre.

Although the tire's face was also anxious, it never opened its mouth to urge Xia Xiaolei, for fear of disturbing his full concentration.

"Tire! Quick! Look out!" Roddy's voice came over the team channel.

Tire walked quickly to a shooting hole, pushed one of the players there, and looked out.

The mutants that had been surrounding the fortress and crowding it to the brim had darted backwards like an ebbing tide.

"This is ...... "The tire looked at the open space around the fortress, but there was no joy, but rather a tightly furrowed brow.

From the very beginning, these mutants never had the slightest fear or retreat.

In other words, they had no consciousness at all.

And now that this happens, it can only mean one thing-...

Their temporary retreat was only for the next wave of more violent attacks.

Sure enough, before the mutants in front of them had withdrawn, the sound of heavy footsteps was already heard in the distance.

Like thunder, each sound shook the entire earth.

Almost everyone stopped firing out of shock and stared at the mountainous figures in the distance.

On land, the largest creature was an elephant.

However, the giant monsters now coming toward the fortress could literally play with elephants as if they were kittens in the palm of their hands.

What's more - they were more than one!

Each of these behemoths was nearly twenty meters tall and covered with thick biomass armor. In contrast, this makeshift fortress could only reach up to their waists. Each beast took a heavy step that would make the ground around them jump a little.

On their left arm was a huge bony shield that protected their front, while their right arm expanded unnaturally to form a stout hammer.

They traveled at a slow pace, but the exaggeratedly large stride made their movements not as slow as they appeared to be.

"Fire! Fire! Don't even fucking stop!"

At the sound of a voice, everyone immediately focused on the side where the behemoths appeared, grabbed all their heaviest weapons, and fired them in unison.

Nearly a hundred shots and flames lit up at the same time, including three arcs of light from the Thunderstorm Chariot's main gun.

After the explosion, however, the smoke and flames dissipated, but the beasts were still moving forward without stopping.

The biomass armor on the bodies of these beasts was probably more than a meter thick. The small-caliber ammunition could not do any damage at all from that volley of shots, while the energy weapons and large-caliber live weapons could penetrate part of the armor, but the wounds they could cause were limited in front of their huge size.

The most effective was the main guns of the three Thunderstorm chariots. However, each shot only pierced the bone armor shield on the left arm of the beasts, leaving a hole less than half a meter in diameter on their body.

The vitality of those giant beasts was also frighteningly strong. This kind of injury did not affect their mobility by half at all.

"Not enough firepower! Don't spread out! Set fire! Set fire!"

An Awakened One hissed, took out a laser marker, and shined it on the foremost beast: "Fire together at the same one! One at a time!"

"How is this possible!"

Beside him, another Awakened One screamed like a madman, dropped his gun and ran backwards.

However, he had only run a few steps before he was stopped by Flagimusi.

"Go back and fight."

Flagimusi looked at him coldly, the short sword in his hand had somehow been placed across his neck, and the cold chill through his protective suit caused goose bumps to form all over his neck.

"We ...... we can't win! We won't survive!" The Awakened One was already incoherent: "This monster, this number! How we fight! Have you seen how big they are! As soon as they get in front of us, this stupid house will be torn down! We're all going to die here! Run! Run away as much as you can! Just survive the copy time! Even if you have to enter the punishment copy, it's still better than getting killed here!"

"Go back and fight."

As if he hadn't heard him at all, Flagimusi still repeated the two words he had just spoken in a short and crisp manner.

"Shit!"

The Awakened One bit his teeth, and had already taken out a combat knife in his hand.

But the knife had not even been swung yet, when he suddenly felt a coldness in his neck.

Then, the world in front of him suddenly tumbled.

With an expressionless face, Hashimoku-san put his sword back into its sheath, took out a plasma rifle, stood in front of the firing hole, and gave a final glance at everyone else around him: "I said, if you don't want to die, fight."

Everyone took a deep breath.

Indeed, it was impossible to run away.

The way things were going, everyone in Los Angeles had been infected and turned into all kinds of mutants.

If they fled again, where could they escape to?

Following the laser marker, everyone fired once again.

Finally, the beast that had been in the lead swayed and fell heavily to the ground with its riddled body.

But in that time, the entire formation had moved forward more than two hundred meters.

Only one kilometer was left before the fortress was reached.

And the number of giant beasts was still more than twenty.

"Fuck!"

The spare tire was originally guarding the main gate of the fortress, but now he rushed out of the fortress, took out a large pile of ingots, and pressed his left hand on top of the ingots, his face suddenly flushed red.

The ingots squirmed as if they were alive, and the spare tire absorbed them into the liquid metal's left arm, turning it into a giant cannon!

A huge cannon with a diameter of nearly half a meter, which was only available on battleships during World War II!

At this point, the spare tire looks like an ant holding a grain of rice far larger than its own body, ridiculously small compared to the giant cannon.

And then-.

！！！！！！！！！！

The storm was so violent that the fortress almost collapsed.

In front of the cannon, the beast that bore the brunt of the fire had just raised its left arm's bone armor shield in front of it when it was struck by a one-ton shell.

The semi-armor-piercing shell from the battleship's main cannon easily pierced through the bone armor shield, penetrated the biomass shell, and hit it right in the chest, exploding violently.

The beast's entire upper body was blown away and exploded into a cloud of blood, leaving only its lone waist and legs to fall to the ground.

The fortress immediately resounded with cheers of joy.

The power of this cannon ...... was just amazing!

Although the Thunderstorm Chariot's main gun was actually far more powerful than the old World War II guns, it was not very effective in attacking such an incredibly large monster.

However, after firing that gun, the tire's face also looked extremely ugly, and blood was gurgling out of its nostrils.

The original size of the liquid metal arm was fixed, and the temporary expansion of its size by hundreds or thousands of times, incorporating too much metal, was still too much for his capabilities.

Not to mention, the impact and storm when the giant cannon fired, he was the closest one to endure.

After all, Tire wasn't a pervert like Tian Lie who could stream metal data all over his body.

Only now, he was the only one who could provide the strongest targeted firepower.

Gritting his teeth, the tire maneuvered the ship's cannon to turn the angle again, aiming at the other behemoth and firing again.

Boom ！！！！！！！！

Once again, a huge flower of blood exploded in the herd of giant beasts.

But the speed of the entire queue remained unchanged.

"Xia Xiaolei Xia Xiaolei Xia Xiaolei ...... are you not well yet!"

Tire squeezed his fist, no longer able to care about the disturbance of his previous fears, and whispered to Xia Xiaolei behind him.

"Their genetic composition ...... is too complex and confusing ......" Xia Xiaolei's body trembled slightly, his eyes still closed: "Give me a little more time, just a little ......"

The mutant he was holding in his hand was also strangely shaking at the same frequency as Xia Xiaolei, instead of struggling as desperately as before.

The tentacles that pierced its body also seemed to have become deeper.

Outside, the gunfire sounded again and again, but each time at longer intervals than the last.

The tire knew that the spare tire couldn't hold out much longer.

"Roddy, in thirty seconds, you will activate the Gundam."

Tire gritted his teeth and chimed in on the team channel.

At this point, there was no more room to keep the cards hidden.

The last and most desperate option would be to completely abandon everyone else here and let Roddy take off with his Gundam escort, protecting the tidal fighters and heading straight for the coordinates.

The number of flying variants in the sky was huge, but with the Gundam's powerful combat capabilities, it wasn't much of a problem.

Although it would mean no more Awakenings and players and no more time for the Gundam to be used when they eventually fought Adric, at least they couldn't stay here and wait to die with this group of cannon fodder.

Yes, the cannon fodder.

Tire is not Chen Xiaolian, there is no "since I saved you, I should try to be responsible for you to the end" kind of thinking.

The choice to gather all the participants of the replica at Griffith Park and head to the coordinates was made so that they would be at the front of the line to find a way to kill Adric.

As for keeping them alive as long as possible, it was just to maximize the amount of chips they had in hand for the final battle.

But the tires wouldn't hesitate to abandon them at any time if it became clear that there was no way out.

It's just that the tires don't want to be in that situation unless they have to.

"Twenty-five ......"

"Twenty ......"

"Fifteen ......"

The tire was slowly counting in his mind.

The sound of the guns outside, interspersed with other gunfire, was taking longer and longer to arrive.

The beasts were less than 200 meters away from the fortress.

At the same moment, other small mutants, which had retreated, also surged over again.

Even the sky was once again filled with dark clouds of flying mutants.

The timing of the two groups of monsters was flawlessly grasped. At this speed, just as the behemoths moved in front of the Alloy Fortress, the other variants would be just in time to meet.

At that point, it would be time for the entire army to be wiped out.

"Ten ......"

"V ......"

"All right!"

Xia Xiaolei shouted behind the tires.

In front of him, the mutants that had been roaming all over the mountain, charging toward the fortress, including the remaining dozen or so behemoths, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

In the next moment, they all let out a sharp roar, and then began to kill each other.
