Strongest Defense Position (2)

"Neutrino scanner unavailable..." Following Lena's Data Analysis, Wei Zitong continued issuing denial commands one after another, and alarms immediately blared throughout the position's command center!

Warning! The early warning system has suffered an unknown intrusion! The central processor will reboot in 60 seconds! Activating Level Two Defense Protocol! Warning! The early warning system has suffered an unknown intrusion! The central processor will reboot in 60 seconds! Activating Level Two Defense Protocol!

Piercing alarms rang out overhead as the position's Soldiers, after launching a fierce wave of counterattacks, swiftly withdrew from the front line and converged on the central position!

"Xin Ye, hurry! Open a breach!" Wei Zitong shouted. "The western sector, take it out in one wave!"

"Got it! Leave it to me!" Zhao Xin's voice came from midair, while his body had already shot through the air. He plunged headfirst into the cluster of position Soldiers, wildly slashing and stabbing with his spear, throwing their ranks into chaos.

Without the early warning system tracking his movements, Zhao Xin moved through the enemy position as though no one was there, charging and rampaging about. Some turret Soldiers tried manually aiming their high-energy lasers at him, but without AI assistance, the turrets simply could not lock onto Zhao Xin's swift, wind-like figure!

Wei Zitong did not stay idle either. After applying the "Indestructible" and "Immense Strength" buffs to himself, he charged into the fray. After blasting several position Soldiers away, his temples suddenly throbbed violently, and a warning rose in his heart! He immediately threw himself forward!

The next instant, a high-energy laser beam and an ordinary-looking bullet streaked through the spot where he had just been standing!

Cold sweat broke out across Wei Zitong's body. Even if this was the Virtual World, he had no desire to experience death. That kind of thing could leave psychological scars!

He could still use the "Indestructible" buff on his body to block the high-energy laser, but if that ordinary-looking bullet hit him, he would definitely go down, because it was a Godslayer No. 1 armor-piercing round!

"Xin Ye, there's a Sniper at my eight o'clock! Go take him out!" Wei Zitong shouted at the fleet-footed Zhao Xin. "Careful, he's using Godslayer No. 1 armor-piercing rounds. Don't let him lock onto you!"

The moment Zhao Xin heard there was a Sniper, he had been eager to rush over. But when he heard the second half, he instantly lost his nerve. Grabbing a barely alive position Soldier in each hand to shield himself from the Sniper's direction, he asked, "I won't die, right?"

"What are you afraid of?" Wei Zitong said irritably. "With your speed, he can't aim at you at all. Just don't stop moving!"

"That's true. Xin Ye is a man as fast as lightning!" Zhao Xin immediately regained his confidence. With a hearty laugh, he ran off like a gust of wind!

"Looks like I'll have to destroy the turrets myself!" Wei Zitong picked up a standard heavy shield from one of the position Soldiers, using it to block his eight o'clock as he circled toward a turret firing high-energy lasers at him!

The outer position Soldiers had suffered heavy losses. The few remaining Soldiers could only keep retreating inward, while dense laser fire and shells blanketed the area. Wei Zitong activated "Invisibility" once more, vanishing from sight along with the two heavy shields in his hands.

Wei Zitong had already tried his best to move toward the edge of the bombardment zone, but the enemy attacks were simply too dense. His movement path was eventually spotted by the veteran position Warriors, and the laser and artillery fire began shifting toward him.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the nearest turret was less than a hundred meters away, Wei Zitong could not help swearing.

Distance? Right. Something suddenly occurred to him. During the lull between this round of Focus Fire, he tossed aside the heavy shields, raised his hand toward the nearest turret, and said, "This distance does not exist!"

The next second, something terrifying happened...

Space began to tremble violently. The space around Wei Zitong and the space around the turret warped irregularly. The position Warriors retreated in terror as they watched the turret and Wei Zitong's figures stretch sideways until the two completely overlapped!

In the blink of an eye, space returned to normal, and nothing appeared unusual where it had warped. Except Wei Zitong, who should have been standing a hundred meters away, had appeared atop the turret.

Wei Zitong and the position Soldier operating the high-energy laser cannon stared into each other's eyes. For a moment, both had forgotten to attack...

"Holy shit!" Zhao Xin tossed the Sniper's corpse aside, his jaw dropping in shock. After a moment, he finally came back to himself and muttered, "What kind of Black Technology was that? It's even more impressive than Xin Ye! He just teleported over there?"

Wei Zitong was a little dazed too. He had merely wanted to try it and had no idea whether it would work, much less what effect it would have. But judging from this, it was indeed terrifying. Any enemy facing this ability for the first time would definitely suffer badly!

"Warning: insufficient energy. Unable to maintain both 'Indestructible' and 'Immense Strength' simultaneously!" The voice of that lousy Void Engine rang in Wei Zitong's mind, jolting him awake. He grabbed the still-stunned enemy Soldier and hurled him straight down from the turret!

"Maintain 'Indestructible'!" Wei Zitong issued the command to the system in his mind, then grabbed the high-energy laser cannon, swung it around, and fired high-energy lasers into the cluster of position Soldiers!

The position Soldiers, who had crowded together out of fear of the ability Wei Zitong had just used, instantly erupted into chaos!

For the first time, their own side's firepower was shooting at them. Some dove forward, some fell backward, some rolled, and some sprinted madly, all using whatever method suited them best to evade the barrage of high-energy lasers. Wei Zitong fired a wave of laser rain, yet he only hit a few position Soldiers—not nearly as many as he had taken out in close combat.

Looks like I really wasn't suited to using guns. If Qilin were here, she would definitely have taken out far more...

He had no time to think about why Qilin had come to mind at this moment. He had to retreat, because five turrets had already aimed their high-energy laser cannons at him!

Wei Zitong pushed off with his feet, violently launching himself backward. The next instant, the turret he had been standing on was swallowed by dense high-energy lasers and artillery fire. The thunderous explosions went on without end, nearly rupturing Wei Zitong's eardrums!

The power of this kind of Focus Fire truly could not compare to ordinary area bombardment!

Wei Zitong finally got a taste of what Lena had suffered when she first charged in and got Focus Fired. Even though he had used all his strength to launch himself away, he could not avoid being caught in it. The repeated explosions traveled through the air as Shockwaves and hurled him more than a hundred meters away, directly breaking his "Indestructible" buff!

At the same time, several stray high-energy lasers hit him, nearly making him cough blood from sheer frustration at his terrible luck!

What made his scalp tingle the most was that before he could recover from the heavy blow, the heavy artillery cannons that had fired those devastating shells had already aimed at him again!

Just then, Wei Zitong suddenly felt his body grow light. The scenery around him began rushing backward, eventually stretching into dense straight lines until he could no longer make out anything clearly.

The air in front of him gradually turned viscous, then solid, slamming painfully against his body!

There was no need to look to know that Zhao Xin had saved him. Experiencing Zhao Xin's extreme-speed running for the first time felt absolutely awful. This speed had to be close to Sonic Speed, right?

Amid his daze, he heard rumbling thunder close behind. Wei Zitong abruptly came to his senses and immediately activated what little energy remained in his Void Engine, accelerating his brain's calculation and analysis speed. As the surroundings gradually became clear, he discovered in horror that Zhao Xin was running straight outward!

"Xin Ye!" Wei Zitong hurriedly shouted. "Don't run in a straight line!"

Zhao Xin had been so panicked by the dense firepower that he had lost his bearings. Hearing Wei Zitong's shout, he came to his senses and quickly yelled, "Then how should I run?"

"Circle around!" Wei Zitong said. "Wait for me to recover!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xin suddenly braked and turned left, nearly jolting Wei Zitong into internal injuries!

Dense artillery fire chased close behind, suppressing Zhao Xin so thoroughly that he did not dare stop, nor did he dare approach the enemy position. There were all sorts of terrifying mechanisms and traps there, along with the enemy's dense Rain of Bullets!

Judging by this reaction and tracking speed, the central computer of the position had likely finished rebooting. However, this level of attack was clearly much weaker than when they had first entered. Wei Zitong guessed that those advanced early warning systems still had not recovered!

"Damn it, Zitong, let's run! This is too hard to fight! How long are we supposed to keep running like this? I'm almost out of strength..." Zhao Xin shouted breathlessly.

Wei Zitong was about to say something when his eyelids suddenly twitched wildly. He felt an irresistible Great Terror about to descend. Turning his head, he saw that a massive cannon in the center of the position had rotated its barrel toward them. He immediately shouted, "Xin Ye, watch out!"

Zhao Xin also sensed the approaching danger. When he turned and saw that terrifying massive cannon, his soul nearly fled his body. He immediately sprang toward the distance!

"Don't jump..." Wei Zitong's warning was drowned out by a deafening roar. Amid the billowing smoke and dust, a seemingly Plain and Unremarkable bullet streaked toward them at incredible speed, striking both of them squarely in the chest!

"Pfft!"

Both of them spat blood, lost their balance in midair, and crashed down, skidding dozens of meters across the ground before finally coming to a stop!

The massive cannon's muzzle aimed at them once more, filling the two severely wounded and immobile men with despair...

Even if they knew that dying here was not real death, who would want to die even once?

With a thunderous boom, orange flames surged into the sky, dyeing half the heavens red. An incomparably domineering yet melodious female voice rang in everyone's ears!

"How dare you hurt this Goddess's Little White Horse? Unforgivable!"

Within the dazzling flames, like the afterglow of a setting sun, a graceful figure stood proudly amid the enemy ranks and delivered a judgment with the majesty of a god!
