Gate of Apocalypse

The coordinates are still displayed on everyone's personal radar as they were before, and have not changed until now.

In spite of the loss of a large number of vehicles during the previous siege, a significant number of them were put into each person's storage gear and are now being retrieved and taken on a ride toward the Rosemont Nature Preserve.

The area is still densely populated with mutants, however they have now lost their unified command and control and are reduced to unintelligent monsters that follow their instinct to kill, targeting the nearest moving object. Most of the mutants are killing each other, and only a few, the few that are near the convoy, come screaming at the top of their lungs and are easily killed.

Even though the road was covered with corpses and debris, the convoy was still moving at top speed, maneuvering the vehicle with enhanced reflexes. In less than half an hour, it had entered the mountains of the Rosemont Nature Reserve.

Next, there was no road. With the exception of the high-powered tracked vehicles like the Thunderstorm Chariot, the vehicles were no longer drivable.

"Everyone, abandon your vehicles and proceed on foot! Thunderstorm chariots ahead of us!" Tire jumped out of the car, took a look around, immediately gave an order, and began to assign tasks: "Tian Lie, you come with me to the front. Moonlight Lizard, your team is with us. Roddy, you're in the middle of the team, guarding the spare tire, ready to activate the Gundam at all times. ......"

In the bloody battle just now, almost every team had suffered losses. There were less than fifty of the original one hundred people left, but most of them were senior members of the original team.

To bring so much cannon fodder to the final battlefield had exceeded Tire's original expectations.

Next, it was finally time to see Adric's success.

"Flagimusi, how is the situation there with you guys?"

As we moved forward, Tire asked a question on the team channel while looking down.

The front was littered with mutant corpses, and more and more as they moved forward. Occasionally a surviving mutant jumped out and attacked, but was immediately blown to pieces by the fire.

"Not too ...... well ......" Flagimusi replied hesitantly, "Not too many mutants attacked the fortress, but Ray's face was getting more and more ...... ugly."

"Sugar supplement! Do I have to teach you that?" Tire frowned, "It takes a lot of energy intake to maintain the resilience of parasite armor, and you don't know that."

"Already ...... eaten it all." Flagimusi gritted her teeth, "Not only did he bring his own, but I even gave him all of my portable rations, but it still wasn't enough! He is now consuming too much energy! I'm afraid ......"

As he said that, Flagimusi looked down at Xia Xiaolei beside him.

This time, not only the tentacles connecting him to the mutant, but also his body was suffering from extensive withering and necrosis.

The spiritual battle at the genetic level seemed to be more consuming than the physical battle.

Xia Xiaolei had previously taken all the food from his storage equipment and piled it on the side, but now it had been almost completely consumed.

And he was now nearly in a semi-conscious state, no matter what was said to him, there was no response.

"Damn ...... you hold on to yourself. We're almost there. Just take out that guy Adric and Ray will be fine." Tire squeezed his fist tightly, "If nothing else, Adric himself should be in the same condition as Little Thunder right now, and unable to move. It shouldn't be hard to kill him. As long as he doesn't have any other teammates ...... around him."

"Make sure ...... to be quick."

Flagwood West nodded, but his hand slowly pressed on the hilt of the short sword at his waist.

Xia Xiaolei's breathing was becoming more and more rapid.

If this continued, he would really die.

Qi Muxie squeezed the hilt of the sword tightly, veins appearing on the back of his white hand.

If it really came to the last moment, she had to sever the tentacle connection between Xia Xiaolei and that mutant!

Although Xia Xiaolei had access to the genetic-spiritual connections of the alien population, the fundamental support was still the captured mutant. The tentacles that extended from his body were the channels of connection.

By severing them, Xia Xiaolei would be forced to disconnect from the spirit of the mutant population.

In other words-.

Unplug the network cable!

Although it was not a last resort, QiMusi would never resort to this method. But at least ...... she couldn't just stand by and watch Xia Xiaolei die in front of her!

......

"You've finally come."

Finally, across a valley, the tire heard a man's voice.

It was a tall, thin man, dressed in a blood-red protective suit, with a short knife in each side of his waist.

The two knives were not sheathed, and even his hands were not pressed on the hilts, but draped over the sides of his body.

Behind him, a man sat on the ground, his body covered by a black cloak, his head hanging down so low that he could not see his face.

It was obvious, however, that this was Adric.

And the tire's heart was suddenly happy.

Great!

As expected, the struggle for mutant dominance with Xia Xiaolei was also not an easy task for Adric.

He was also temporarily incapacitated.

Although it seemed that he was in a much better state than Xia Xiaolei. He was not in a dangerous state of physical exhaustion, but at least until he regained control, he had no ability to defend himself.

There were mutant corpses lying all around him. Most of them were covered in claw marks and teeth marks, dead from fratricide, but the ground near the two was littered with shattered body parts.

Or frozen, or charred.

It seemed that the mutants, having lost control, would only attack indiscriminately, even their own original controllers were not spared.

As for Adric's teammates, it seemed that the tall and thin one in front of him was the only one. No wonder no attacks have appeared along the way up to now. This tall and thin man had to guard his side to keep him safe.

"Spare tire-"

"Wait!"

Tire was about to order on the team channel, but Nicole interrupted.

"Are you ...... Dodoro?"

Nicole pushed aside a player who was in the way and stepped forward, still expressionless but with a little more excitement in her voice, "You sure didn't die!"

Dodoro was stunned.

The woman in front of him was wearing floating armor.

She ...... was a floating angel?

When City Zero fell, most of those who eventually fled were non-combatants. And the legions of angels fought to the bitter end in the battle for City Zero, without a single survivor.

How did a floating angel come to be in this copy?

"Nicole, we don't have much time." Tire frowned, "You seemed to have said before that you wouldn't be any kind of mother-in-law to them because of your Zero City origins."

"Tire, I know we're short on time, but please give me a minute."

Nicole turned her head to look at the tires, and without waiting for an answer, she quickly stepped forward and said to Dodoro, "You don't know me. I'm just an ordinary member of the Angel Corps. But I know you, and this ...... big man behind you."

Dodoro looked at Nicole with cold eyes and pressed his hand to the hilt of his knife, "So, you're here to pull strings?"

"Even when City Zero was still around, the Angel Corps always maintained absolute neutrality, let alone now." Nicole said softly, "I know you won't tell me where you are hiding. I just want to know who is still alive in the Angel Corps. That doesn't conflict with the fact that I'm going to kill you later."

Dodoro burst out laughing, "Interesting. Were you not in City Zero at the time, out on a mission?"

He was beginning to believe that the woman in front of him was indeed a member of the Angel Corps.

"You don't need to worry about all that, just answer my question. Of course, I won't be surprised if you refuse." Nicole shook her head.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Duo Duo shrugged, "You're the first angel I've seen since I escaped from Zero City. Everyone from the Martial Angels down ...... is dead."

"Even the martial angels ......."

Nicole's eyes darkened a bit.

Although this was the answer she had expected, she couldn't help but feel a stirring inside when she actually heard it.

Silence.

"Okay. I know." Nicole sighed and wiggled her way back.

"Wait!"

Dodoro suddenly called out from behind Nicole.

Nicole snapped back.

"You want to know where the others are?" Dodoro looked at Nicole.

"You'll tell me?"

Nicole frowned a bit.

"It looks like there are two of us, and only one side will survive, I guess." Dodoro looked at the crowd behind Nicole, "There are many of you, and only one of me. It's not necessarily me who will win. So, if I die ......"

He laughed bitterly, "Come here. I'll tell you where the others who survived Zero City are now."

The other players and awakened ones behind Nicole were in an uproar.

It wasn't until now that they realized that the two in front of them, the boss of this copy, were the remnants of Zero City!

And if you can find their location, that means finding ......

Wealth, and power!

A skinny camel should be bigger than a horse anyway. Besides, the Zero City resident team is an elephant, or even a dinosaur, compared to the rest of the team!

Anyone, player or awakened, who can locate the remnants of City Zero, has a chance to seize the endless wealth that City Zero has accumulated over the years!

"Are you really going to tell me?"

Nicole blinked twice and looked at Dodoro.

"Yes, but I can only tell you one." Dodoro nodded, "Come to me, I can only tell you by ear."

Nicole was hesitant.

"Come here." Dodoro looked at Nicole with a sincere face, "I want to believe you. The Angel Corps has been and will continue to be the standing defenders of City Zero. If we die, I hope you can find others to lead them and guard them. As a member of the Angel Corps, it is your duty."

Nicole took a deep breath and finally took a step toward Dodoro.

"You trust her?"

A sneer sounded, piercing Dodoro's eardrums.

Tenley strode out, reached out and pressed a hand on Nicole's shoulder, and threw her backwards.

"But I don't believe you! This chick is not that great, but it's always good to sneak up and take one out before the fight starts. But ...... it's really not that great of a plan. If we didn't run into this kind of stupid chick, who the hell would believe it?"

Heavenly Lie laughed and twisted his fist: "Look at my face and say it out loud.

"Angel ...... Killer?"

The sincerity on Dodoro's face had just been swept away, and he stared at Tian Lie's face.
