The bastion defense line, which lost most of the people guarding it, was quickly engulfed by black corpses swarming onto the city. The zombies formed a super-sized slope under the city wall. More than hundreds of thousands of black corpses walked on this "thorough road" to the bastion platform at the top. The black zombies instantly occupied the three bastions.
The soldier who was the first to return to the edge defense line from the bastion couldn't bear the injury and fell into the arms of the people who came to greet him. He grabbed the visitor and warned: "Stop them, they are behind us!" After saying this, he fainted from his injuries.
"Come quickly, medic!"
"We need it here too! Where is the stretcher?"
"The edge passage is asking for support! Those monsters want to enter the city along the passage!"
"Stop them! Don't let them come here!"
"shot!"
"Da da, da da da..." "Hiss." "Roar!" "Uh-huh--"
The steel platform passage was only two meters wide, and the clustered bullet stream almost blocked the way forward for the black corpses, but there were still agile second-level ghost monkeys who broke through the hail of bullets and rushed in. Although they were inevitably hit by a few stray bullets, the black corpses were dead creatures, so it was insignificant to make a hole in a non-fatal place. As soon as the second-level ghost monkey fell into the crowd, it stretched out its fingers and claws to sweep off a bunch of heads. The spurting of warm blood, the shattered limbs, and the blood-curdling screams made this place look like a purgatory.
"This can't happen anymore, this passage must be destroyed!"
Not long ago, it was a life-saving passage for the fortress defenders, but now it is a life-saving talisman for everyone. As long as the passage is still there, the black corpses can pass through the slope that has been formed in front of the bastion and come to the edge of the defense line in a steady stream.
"Fuck your mother's black corpse! I will fight with you!"
At this time, a soldier who was blind in one eye dropped his rifle, picked up a bundle of grenades and rushed towards the center of the passage.
"Brother, come back!" His comrades roared heartbreakingly, but everyone could see it - the fuse of the bundle of grenades had been pulled. The sizzling white smoke is the countdown of his life, and it is also the death pendulum of the black corpses in the passage.
The soldier who came to the door was quickly knocked down by the black corpse, along with the cluster grenade in his arms.
He laughed, ignoring the ghost monkey's finger claws that poked holes one after another on his chest and back, as if he didn't know the pain or fear. Finally he shouted and opened his arms: "Die with me!"
There was a "bang" and the fire suddenly appeared. It was the last flash of his life. He spent half his life growing up, studying, working to support his family, actively paying taxes, and giving back to society. However, a sudden disaster caused his family to be destroyed. At the last moment of his life, when he was pinned down by the black corpse and bitten by the black corpse, lying on his back, through the dark night above his head, could he see what his family looked like when they were alive?
In the violent explosion, the 20-meter-long steel channel was shaken violently, and finally broke into two halves with the sound of "squeaking" teeth grinding. With a "bang", the steel channel fell straight into the ravine under the city wall.
The comrades who had been with him day and night were so blinded by the sight. In the end, the man hammered his head hard and knelt on the ground sobbing.
"Brother! I should go, I should go..."
The two of them were the same group of refugees who escaped from Shashi, and both lost everything in this disaster. Along the way, the other party had already blinded one eye to protect him, but he hadn't repaid him yet...
A similar scene was also played out in Bastion No. 3. An old man who was bitten by a black corpse knew that his time was short, so he was willing to stay behind. Later, he fired a grenade to blow up the passage and died with the corpses.
…
"Lin Wenjin, how are you doing?" Duan Qing asked on the edge of the defense line platform.
"We still have half of the army. I'm fine. It's just that Heizi is injured."
"I...it's okay!" Duan Hei gritted his teeth and said firmly.
There was a fist-sized burn on his dark, slender arm. Although the corrosive mucus on the surface of the wound had been wiped away, the residual acidic substance still caused him a bone-eroding and heart-burning pain. Beads of sweat as big as peas slid down his forehead and down his chin, flowing over his immature face. Duan Hei could only grit his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.
At this time, Lin Wenjin took a bag of weakly alkaline healing solution from the medical soldier, took Duan Hei's injured arm and soaked it in it. Only then did the latter open his mouth in relief, gasping for breath, sweating. It dripped onto the ground.
"Command, I'm sorry. Less than half of the No. 3 Bastion troops are back."
Wu Ke's war hammer fell to the ground. He hammered his bald head and said regretfully: "It's all my fault for being too weak. If I could have stopped those two second-level ghost monkeys, so many people wouldn't have died."
"Where are the people in Bastion No. 2? Why is there no news?"
Zheng Yueying looked around in panic, but there was still no sign of the Autonomous Association. She was frightened when she saw other teams suffering heavy casualties. Even second-level ghost monkeys are like this. Facing a third-level monster and losing the protection of the ability person, is it possible for ordinary evolvers to survive?
In fact, Zheng Yueying's guess is very close. After losing the mainstays like Cao Liang, Bastion No. 3 was completely lost under the special attack, and almost all the thousand ordinary evolvers belonging to the Autonomous Association were wiped out. Now the platform of the bastion is full of dead people, as well as the broken limbs and arms from the dead. Dark red plasma covered the entire ground, staining everything that could be seen, including guns and ammunition.
Ever since the third-level ghost monkey came to the city, it has been like a deserted place among ordinary evolvers. In the end, it had nothing to kill, but when it raised its head, it saw a woman who had come to die. This woman is blocking the passage leading to the edge. Maybe if you kill her, you can go straight in and get more fresh brains.
The third-level ghost monkey thought this way, suddenly stretched out his tongue, and licked the human blood on his upper lip in a humane manner. The taste of the evolver's blood seems to be particularly sweet. This taste intoxicates it and excites it even more. You must know that it has just been promoted to the third level and needs prey with abundant crystal energy to stabilize its level. As long as he can have a hearty meal, maybe he can make further progress after this battle!
The third-level ghost monkey was on all fours, walking around like a gibbon in the jungle, looking at Yang Xiaoxiao in front of him, looking for an opportunity to strike.
"Hoo, hoho, hoho..."
Yang Xiaoxiao took a step forward, and the ghost monkey immediately became alert. It detected strong energy fluctuations in Yang Xiaoxiao. Although it was a threat to itself, it seemed to be weaker than itself. Realizing that he was stronger than the opponent, a cruel smile immediately appeared on Ghost Monkey's face. Although Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to be too calm, it had seen more prey that were frightened by it before, so it didn't feel anything surprising.
Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at the other party contemptuously, and when it raised its hind limbs again, she quickly said silently: "Phantom - Confusion."
In just a blink of an eye, she suddenly appeared in front of the third-level ghost monkey. The ghost monkey wanted to scream in panic, but Yang Xiaoxiao kicked him in the chest. It immediately flew upside down for more than ten meters, hit a section of the city wall hard, and fell to pieces.
Until he was kicked, the ghost monkey still didn't understand how all this happened. It felt like Yang Xiaoxiao appeared in front of it instantly, but what Chen and Fu in the command room saw was not like this. They could clearly see through the screen that when Yang Xiaoxiao's ability was activated, the ghost monkey was obviously stunned for a moment, and time slipped away quietly while it was stunned. Although the time was short, it was enough for speed-type users to exert their abilities.
In front of the screen, Chen Xinyan raised her hand to push up her glasses, and her eyes seemed a little brighter. "It can affect higher-level opponents. The ability to not be suppressed by higher levels is very interesting and meaningful for research."
The ghost monkey was the first to be frustrated in the confrontation, but this degree was not considered an injury to the necromorph, at most it was a humiliation.
"I heard that in the special sense, you are famous for your speed?" On the platform of the bastion, Yang Xiaoxiao appeared behind the ghost monkey again, and the words in his ear were like sweet whispers between lovers, "But in my opinion, you are still too slow."
I don’t know if the necromorph would feel creeped out. Maybe it didn’t even have time to react before it was hit to the other side by another spin kick.
The world was spinning, and the rolling ghost monkey's head hit the ground hard.
"Hoho——"
The ghost monkey was angry. He never thought that he would be humiliated by food one day.
So it took the initiative, showed a pair of sharp claws, and swept towards Yang Xiaoxiao's waist quickly and accurately. If it hits the mark this time, it will be absolutely confident that it will cut this annoying woman in half!
With a "swish" sound, the sharp claws effortlessly slashed from the opponent's left waist to the right waist, just like it had happened countless times before, cutting open any person or black corpse who dared to anger it. However, next, it could not see the spilled intestines or the falling blood, nor could it hear the screams and wails that made it excited and intoxicated.
Looking up, the human body divided into two halves dissipated like smoke, as if it was just a blur.
"Hey, with your IQ, you don't understand what afterimages are, right?"
Looking along the sound, I saw Yang Xiaoxiao in the distance looking at him leisurely with his arms folded. The ghost monkey was so angry that it scratched the ground twice with its hind legs and flew out like a sharp arrow. Faced with this speed, Yang Xiaoxiao did not dare to neglect, hurriedly stopped laughing and rolled to the side.
"Bang!" The ghost monkey crashed into a pile of empty boxes. It backed up and shook its head, then killed Yang Xiaoxiao again. This time she changed her shape for offense and defense, and her third-level special sense, which specializes in speed, reacted very quickly. On several occasions, the two front paws were only ten centimeters away from her throat, and Yang Xiaoxiao almost risked her life here.
"So fast." Yang Xiaoxiao gasped slightly, suppressing her racing heart.
Entering the third level means becoming an intermediate evolved creature, which is indeed three points stronger than her in terms of speed. Even at the peak of the second level and the early stage of the third level, the evolutionary gap between the two levels is very obvious, like a bottomless chasm. There will be differences in energy magnitude, energy quality, evolutionary depth, evolutionary breadth, etc. But the greater the gap, the more it ignited Yang Xiaoxiao's unyielding spirit. Next, she didn't dare to be careless. While avoiding the ghost monkey's pursuit at full speed, she concentrated on looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
This third-level ghost monkey was not the only one on the huge bastion platform. Yang Xiaoxiao made a lot of noise. A large number of low-level special senses and ordinary black corpses stood up from their feast and faced each other step by step. Yang Xiaoxiao implemented the encirclement. In order to prepare for various unexpected surprise attacks, she dodged left and right, sometimes passing between two shields, causing them to collide with each other, and sometimes slipping under a gorilla's crotch with a short stature, letting this The unlucky ghost received the claw of the ghost monkey on his behalf.
For several minutes, the third-level ghost monkey occasionally pounced and bit with one claw on its left and one on its right, but it never hurt Yang Xiaoxiao at all. The latter is like an acrobat dancing lightly on a tightrope. Although he often takes risks, he always manages to avoid accidents.
Finally, the ghost monkey's impatience reached the extreme, and he rushed towards Yang Xiaoxiao regardless of the situation, as if he would not give up even if the other party's life was taken this time. But unexpectedly, Yang Xiaoxiao, who was running in front, suddenly braked. She jumped up and did a backflip, almost flipping over the ghost monkey's head. While still in the air, Yang Xiaoxiao took out the pistol at his waist and aimed the gun. When he landed on the ground and turned around, he had emptied the entire magazine of bullets.
The girl holding the gun gasped slightly, but the muzzle of the gun was still curling up with pale white gunpowder smoke. The monster on the opposite side was hit behind by a series of bullets, and was knocked directly to the ground in the stream of bullets.
It stands to reason that both the second-level gorilla and the second-level ghost monkey will die for this carelessness. But no one expected that the third-level ghost monkey would be fine! The pistol bullet hit at close range, but it didn't even break the skull of the third-level ghost monkey! The spore colony that lives in the brain will not die, so even if you use bullets to pierce more holes in the body of the corpse, it will be meaningless!
Facing mid-level zombies and above, the effect of light thermal weapons is indeed greatly weakened. If Yang Xiaoxiao had the Silver Star Pistol enchanted with the glue core in his hand, with its "spiral penetration" effect, this ghost monkey would definitely be dead. Unfortunately, the precious pistol that was enchanted by the core of the "Noble Phantasm" is now worn on Miss Qin's body.
"Hey, brother Lang Hua... you are really partial."
After grinding for so long and trying all his best, he only managed to injure the third-level ghost monkey. Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Ho-ho-" "Ho-ho-ho."
From the hunter to the injured one, the third-level ghost monkey already had fear in his eyes.
"Hey, stop yelling, my aunt is very angry now, and the consequences will be serious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao no longer hid, but instead held a pair of daggers and attacked him in front. Close combat is about one inch short and one inch dangerous. It not only tests speed, but is also affected by many factors such as reaction ability, strength, and combat intelligence.
After dozens of rounds of clanging, claws and knives, not only did Yang Xiaoxiao have more than a dozen wounds on her body, but the ghost monkey was also covered with knife wounds all over its body. The most serious wound was a scratch on the throat, and the entire neck was almost split in half. Of course, Yang Xiaoxiao also paid a heavy price for this. A long and narrow corpse claw poked a translucent hole in her belly, and drops of blood flowed along the wound to the ground, even the black corpse nearby was attracted. Notice.
"Ugly thing, you'd better not scratch my face." Yang Xiaoxiao threatened through gritted teeth, and her messy hair looked a bit sad.
"Captain Yang, let's help you!"
"That's right, there's no reason to let a woman take the lead."
"Let these monsters also taste the power of us humans!"
The battle at Bastion No. 2 has already attracted the attention of the edge defenders. They knew that blowing up the passage connecting the edge of the bastion was the most critical step in resolving the current crisis, so they were willing to fight side by side with Yang Xiaoxiao to buy time, and at the same time prevent the corpses from attacking the edge of the defense line along the passage and causing greater casualties.
"These first-order ghost monkeys belong to us!"
"Our 'Battery Ram' team wants these ordinary black corpses, no one can snatch them!"
"Our team is going to the west."
"Don't spread too thin, and be careful to protect each other."
“Kill!” “Kill, kill, kill—”
