Chapter 92: Fire in the Eyes
Chapter 92: Fire in the Eyes
The sound of "puff puff" rang out one after another.
The corpses of the Moth Blade Beasts fell down in the fire escape.
Wang Jixuan stood on the corpse of a blade beast, using it to hit the pile of corpses below to reduce the impact force, and then lightly tapped his toes and landed in front of the fire door on the 46th floor.
The spiritual consciousness expanded outward, and there was a small group of blade beasts in front.
They are eating.
Wang Jixuan rushed forward with his gun in hand, holding a pure crystal core in his left hand, and the spiritual power within it was continuously drawn into his body.
Although this spiritual power contains impurities, it can be used in emergencies.
Next, as long as no blade beast with mid-level combat power appears, he won’t have to use magic skills today.
Rushing past the back wall with '46' written on it and turning two corners, even though Master Wang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help frowning.
The tin houses on both sides, which were originally full of people, have now become purgatory.
The 'Moth' blade beast used this place as a food replenishment station. The ground was covered with a layer of blood, and human broken arms and body parts were scattered everywhere, with pieces of flesh still twitching nervously everywhere.
These are ordinary humans without the protection of their firepower line.
Wang Dao's nose was trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The monsters have different paths, and there is no return!
Evil beast!
He crashed into the street, and the spear in his hand made crescent-shaped waves. Like a black storm, it swept across the street and rushed straight into the defense line of the human advance team!
The gangs' firepower was sporadic, and now they have joined the human front.
Cheers suddenly rang out in command channels at all levels.
"The Black Storm! The Black Storm is coming!"
"Cover him! Damn it! Kill these blade beasts! Hahahaha!"
"Black Storm is charging the Blade Beasts! Provide cover fire!"
Sarri Desert.
In the speeding spider-shaped command vehicle, Zhou Zhengde was stunned when he heard the news.
Wasn’t the feedback he had received before that Wang Zheng was on the seventh floor?
How did you get to the 46th floor?
This? Didn’t we agree to only help and not take risks?
Zhou Zhengde immediately began to look for surveillance footage from the 46th floor of the fortress and quickly locked onto Wang Jixuan's figure. At least seven or eight soldiers were filming Wang Jixuan with the cameras they carried with them.
Zhou Zhengde felt his scalp tingling.
Densely packed blade beasts continuously poured out from the center of the 46th floor and attacked the connecting passage between the 46th floor and the 45th floor.
The SADF advance force's defense line was built around this passage.
——The fire escape goes straight up and down. Although the basic blade beasts can climb, their marching is relatively slow. Human firepower can be relatively concentrated. The blade beasts only send out the "moth" blade beasts to destroy the connecting passages between the middle and upper cities and cut off the defense army's troop transportation lifeline. The large army still has to climb layer by layer.
If the advance troops fail, the commander Dongfang Zhenghong will not hesitate to blow up the passages between the middle city and the lower city.
Following Wang Jixuan's figure, Zhou Zhengde soon discovered.
Among these low-level basic blade beasts, there are a large number of "immature bodies" that are slightly smaller and whose shells have not yet completely hardened.
Although these 'immature forms' are as lethal to ordinary humans as 'mature forms', their defense is not that strong.
Wang Jixuan rushed in here like a tiger into a flock of sheep, with a spear and a pack of high explosives. Blades and limbs flew everywhere he passed, but the human front line was able to slowly counter-advance.
But Wang Jixuan is always alone.
No matter how brave he is, he can only protect one street.
The entire defense line involves more than ten streets and rooftops.
The blade beasts were like waves, trying to extinguish the continuous artillery fire in front of them.
The entire forty-sixth floor was also lighting up as much as possible to make it easier for human warriors to see the figures of the blade beasts.
Zhou Zhengde faintly heard Ling Tong's voice, which came from Wang Jixuan's helmet:
"Is this what you mean by not risking your life?" Ling Tong was obviously a little emotional.
Wang Jixuan simply defended himself: "Too many people died...Zhengde, is there any way to force the psychics to come down?"
Zhou Zhengde immediately replied: "I'll contact you right away!"
He turned off the screen in front of him, glanced at Dongfang Zhenghong who was communicating with the governor over there, and directly bypassed the command level and contacted Commissioner Wei Linzheng, the person in charge of the Thirteenth Institute of Biology stationed in Fort 76, in a private capacity.
A projection box appeared in front of Zhou Zhengde, with a bust of Wei Linzheng inside.
The skinny old man frowned at Zhou Zhengde and said slowly, "Captain Zhou, now is a time of war. What is the meaning of your communication?"
Zhou Zhengde lowered his posture and said sincerely: "Can you ask the psychic to support the 46th floor?"
"Captain Zhou," Wei Linzheng said slowly, "Under the current circumstances, giving up the lower city, protecting the upper city, and fighting for the middle city is the most rational choice. We need to use space to exchange for time. Sacrificing the lower city is not a big problem for Fortress 76. Ensuring the operation of the main body of Fortress 76 is already a victory."
Zhou Zhengde was furious.
He stared at the old man, trying his best to suppress his anger:
"Although this group of blade beasts is large in number, their individual strength is far lower than that of normal blade beasts. These are blade beasts that emerged from the young kingworm nest! There are still 200,000 people in the lower city, and it is possible to rescue them now! The main body of the fortress has been sealed! The various floors of the middle city have only suffered minor disturbances, and the security team is generally under control! Now, we need a sharp force. It will only take more than half an hour for the front-line half-man mecha to return to the fortress! This period of time is crucial!"
Wei Linzheng said slowly: "Captain Zhou, maybe we can make a deal."
"You want Black Storm's information and his genetic information, right?" Zhou Zhengde's nostrils were trembling.
Wei Linzheng added: "And Lingtong's weapon. In this case, we will send all C-level and D-level psykers to the 46th floor for limited support."
"Fuck you! Fuck you!"
Zhou Zhengde cursed loudly, his face flushed red:
"As long as I, Zhou Zhengde, am still alive, I will kick you parasites out of the human world!
"Remember this! Remember this for me!"
Wei Linzheng shook his head helplessly and turned off the projection screen.
Zhou Zhengde sat in the chair, breathing heavily, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
There was some silence in the command vehicle. Everyone looked over here for a few seconds, then lowered their heads and went back to their work.
Wang Jixuan's voice rang out on the operating table in front of Zhou Zhengde: "I've heard it. Don't be angry. They are just some termites."
On the other side, Dongfang Zhenghong exhaled lightly, as if he had made a decision.
"Requesting to speak to the Archon."
As soon as Dongfang Zhenghong finished speaking, a projection screen appeared above the holographic sand table. The consul and several ministers were sitting in the conference room, looking at Dongfang Zhenghong at the same time.
Dongfang Zhenghong stood up and saluted with a hoarse voice, a loud tone, and a determined look in his eyes.
"Consul! Please allow me to formally submit to you the backup battle plan!"
The Archon nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"In view of the current situation of the beasts and the unpredictable number of beasts below, I suggest! We should use the main structure of the 47th and 48th floors as weapons! Utilize the previously buried layered blasting and killing devices, and let the 47th and 48th floors use gravitational potential energy to fall toward the 49th floor, in order to kill the beasts and block the gap, buying time for our firepower deployment!"
You could hear a pin drop in the command vehicle. Everyone looked up at Dongfang Zhenghong.
The commander's eyes were extremely determined.
The Archon frowned and pondered: "How many people are there on the 47th, 48th, and 49th floors?"
"130,000 to 150,000!"
"You mean, sacrifice them?"
"Yes!" Dongfang Zhenghong said firmly, "I am willing to accept the military court trial after this operation! But now, the second-level general-level blade beast is approaching the lower city! This will seriously threaten the middle city! The main function of the fortress is to transport supplies to the entire front line! According to the spirit of the commander's manual! Protecting the main function of the fortress is our priority!"
The consul leaned back in his chair. The ministers were discussing something in low voices. Zhou Meiying seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
The Archon asked in a deep voice: "There is no such thing now..."
"I object!" Zhou Zhengde stood up and glared at Dongfang Zhenghong, "There is still a chance to counterattack!"
"What can we use to counterattack?"
Dongfang Zhenghong shouted quickly:
"If we can't bring down the firepower, we're just going to die! We don't have any heavy firepower reserved inside the fortress, and the psychics' refusal to attack has left us helpless! Now we can only buy time! Once they break through the forty-fifth floor... the partitions in the elevator shaft in the middle city are too thin, and it is likely to be broken through! There is also a general-level blade beast behind, and it is a variant that is good at mental shock! If it reaches the forty-fifth floor, everyone below the 38th floor will probably die!
"If the implosion nuclear bomb hadn't destroyed more than half of the fortress's production facilities, I would have chosen to use a tactical nuclear bomb now!"
"There's more than one secret passage from forty-six to forty-nine! There are so many shortcuts! It's easy to go down!"
Zhou Zhengde shouted quickly:
"We can arrange an elite team to rush into the 49th floor and attack the gap with a nuclear bomb!"
Dongfang Zhenghong said angrily: "There are thousands of blade beasts near that gap, and more are pouring out! There is a nest below!"
"But they are still alive!"
Zhou Zhengde shouted urgently:
"The only thing they have left in their lives is to live! Living is the only right they have in Lower City! They are clearly not in a desperate situation now!"
Dongfang Zhenghong shouted: "We must ensure that the main body of the fortress is minimized. This is responsible for the humans in the front-line camp fortress! Bringing the super blade beast close to the central city will have irreversible catastrophic consequences!"
"We have confirmed that this general-level blade beast has not yet grown up!"
"You are risking more casualties! There is no room for error in the war against blade beasts!"
"Never give up hope on the battlefield! This is what you taught me, teacher! I repeat, we are not at the end of our rope yet!"
"Consul!"
Dongfang Zhenghong turned and looked at the projection screen:
"I demand that the capture plan be advanced immediately!"
Click, click, click.
Bullets loaded.
A gun was pointed at Dongfang Zhenghong's shoulder.
"I will bear all the consequences of doing this," Zhou Zhengde said with a short breath, "but for now, please do not activate the capture plan! Arrange a surprise attack! For these hundreds of thousands of humans!"
Dongfang Zhenghong slowly turned around and suddenly made a move, snatching the pistol away. With just a few movements, the pistol was disassembled into parts and fell to the ground, and he punched out.
Zhou Zhengde was hit on the chin by a heavy straight hook punch. His body fell backwards to the ground and he immediately fell into coma.
"If your last name wasn't Zhou, I would have shot you right now! You little bastard! This trick of yours! It's all the leftovers from the tricks I played on your grandfather when I was young!"
Dongfang Zhenghong took a deep breath and looked at the consul and several ministers.
"Archon! The fall plan requires checking all explosion points! It will take at least ten minutes to prepare! The general-level blade beast will arrive at the gap in eleven minutes. Now, please approve it..."
"cough!"
A dry cough suddenly sounded in the command vehicle.
In the fortress's outer expansion area C, in Lingtong's supply station, Sister Wan was raising her hand to support her forehead.
She also didn't know whether it was the right choice to let Wan Xiaoqi help Wang Zheng access the command vehicle's loudspeaker system.
But now, Sister Wan felt that she could trust this magical young man once.
Wang Jixuan's voice appeared in the command vehicle and was naturally heard by the governor and several ministers.
"This is Black Storm, Commander."
Dongfang Zhenghong frowned and said, "I know, what do you want to say?"
"The gap you just mentioned, is it the slanted oval hole in the Black Fire Gang's territory on the 49th floor? It's about five or six meters in diameter?"
At this moment, Wang Jixuan was grabbing a metal frame on the ceiling of the 49th floor of the fortress with one hand.
There was a ventilation duct above his head, which had been modified and opened up by the gang. It was usually used to "transport goods" and was also the fastest way to reach the 49th floor.
Taoist Wang was staring at the herd of beasts in the distance, the invisibility talisman on his body flickering with a faint light.
"Yes, yes," Dongfang Zhenghong asked, "What do you mean?"
"I'm here."
"Why...why are you there?"
"It was an impulse, but now that I'm here... I asked Zhou Zhengde to stop you just now. His behavior may be a bit extreme, but please don't use military law to deal with him."
Wang Jixuan said simply:
"I have now confirmed that I can plug this gap, at least until the deep sea arrives.
“You just need to organize a defense line on the 46th floor. I will try to hold back the general-level blade beast. Also… most of the blade beasts rushing out from behind are immature, so the situation is not that hopeless.
"The residents of the lower city are already in a very bad state, so we should save them if we can."
Dongfang Zhenghong: ...
Commanding everyone in the car: ...
The Archon and the Ministers: ...
Taoist Wang warned anxiously:
"Remember, don't let the psychics reach the lower city. Delete all my combat data and what I'm saying now. If I faint from exhaustion later, I want my battle princess to take care of me the whole time. I still have a lot of alien civilization technology that I haven't had time to give you."
Noisy!
Wang Jixuan hung up the call, turned off his headphones, and opened the front of his helmet upwards.
"Now, I'm afraid I'm really going to be possessed by a demon... Whatever!"
Silver needles fluttered around his body and then pierced into his eyebrows, heart meridian, dantian and other major acupoints.
[Secret Medical Techniques: Tianquan Baolu! ]
[Magic power: Demon Luo Tiansha Jue! 】
The evil soul-controlling spell absorbs the power of the soul, temporarily reaches the state of primordial spirit, and obtains the power of primordial spirit!
The Taoist "Song of the Righteous God" keeps oneself sober and avoids being possessed by the devil when fighting due to excessive murderous intent!
Wang Jixuan let out a long roar, and fell down with a gun in his hand, crashing into the gap like a comet, and the shadow of the gun rolled up a trail of body parts!
The spiritual energy within a two-kilometer radius suddenly surged towards this place!
