Blood Wolf

Chapter 24: Blood Wolf

"Quick, stop the rat swarm!"

Daniel and the others faced the threat head-on, firing their weapons continuously.

Bang bang~

Rats were eliminated one by one, but unfortunately, the sheer number of them was overwhelming. Soon, mutated rats broke through the blockade and charged directly into the crowd.

After rushing in, these rats didn't bite anyone immediately. Instead, they kept burrowing deeper.

"Ah, rats!"

Students screamed in terror and jumped up.

After a short distance, the mutated rats bit the students' legs.

Accompanied by screams, students transformed into parasites, their eyes red, and lunged at their companions.

"Run, he's infected!"

"Ah, there are rats over here too!"

In an instant, the entire playground erupted. Panicked students ran everywhere, bumping into each other, creating utter chaos.

Daniel and the others desperately fought the Chilami, trying to maintain order, but it was useless. Everything had fallen into disarray.

However, this was not the worst of it. The worst part was the increasing number of parasites pouring in from the school entrance, swarming towards them.

"We're done for!"

Chen Yi watched the chaotic scene before him and the swarming Chilami parasites, his voice trembling.

Just then, a deafening roar echoed from the sky.

Chen Yi and the others startled, looking up. They saw Iron Head Mechas descending from the sky, crashing heavily onto the open ground at the edge of the playground.

Boom~

These Iron Head Mechas were clearly different from their training machines. They were all equipped with XS-01 Heavy Burst Machine Guns, Heavy Metal Mechanical Blades, and carried Portable Flamethrowers on their backs. A red wolf claw emblem was painted on their chests.

At this moment, a Second Generation Mecha, the Iron Wing, standing 10 meters tall, its body covered in thick gray alloy armor, with a pair of high-speed jet wings embedded on its back, a 30MM short-range cannon mounted on its shoulder, and wielding a sharp alloy blade, landed in front of the many Iron Head Mechas.

"It's the Thirteenth District Defense Force, the Second Ace Heavy Assault Brigade, Blood Wolf! We're saved!"

Many despairing students cried tears of joy.

The Second Generation Mecha, Iron Wing, raised its alloy blade and pointed it at the charging parasites, speaking with a killing intent.

"First squad, responsible for intercepting them!"

"Understood!"

Twenty Iron Heads immediately followed the order, forming a line and unleashing a barrage of fire. The swarming Chilami were like paper in the face of such heavy firepower, being torn to shreds in swathes.

"Captain Han Le, what about the playground? It's a complete mess!"

The deputy captain, Xima, asked with a headache.

Han Le glanced at the scene and made a decision.

"Xima, take your team out of the Mechas and enter the crowd to eliminate the parasites. We need to quell the chaos as quickly as possible. The rest of you will stay with me on the outer perimeter of the playground to eliminate the incoming rat swarm."

"Yes, Captain Han Le!"

Xima led the way, opening the cockpit and jumping down.

Twenty Iron Heads followed suit, opening their cockpits and skillfully leaping out.

They were all wearing First Generation Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor, the Iron Shell. These Chilami parasites normally couldn't harm them.

Besides, they had no other choice. Mechas were comparable to steel beasts, making it impossible to fight within the crowd. One wrong move, and a single misstep could lead to countless deaths.

Soon, Xima and his subordinates charged into the crowd. He shot parasites with his beam gun while shouting loudly.

"Everyone, don't panic! Keep your distance as much as possible. We're here to save you!"

Teacher Chen Yi and the others, along with Captain Daniel, were also greatly encouraged. They rushed into the crowd to help clear the parasites, constantly calling out to the students and calming their emotions.

At this time, Su Ming and his two companions, piloting their training machines, were escorting many students.

When they saw the chaotic playground, they stopped.

Minke looked at the scene and swallowed, saying to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, it's just as you worried, something's happened at the playground!"

"Hmph, I don't understand. Su Ming saw the problem, but they didn't? Are they all idiots?"

Chen Tong said irritably.

"Don't say that. The teachers and the others are doing their best. They have limited personnel and want to save as many people as possible, so they had no choice but to gather everyone together for protection."

Su Ming calmly explained.

Chen Tong fell silent after hearing Su Ming's words.

"Then what do we do now? How can we help in this chaos?"

Minke had no confidence in his own piloting skills. If he accidentally hit someone who wasn't infected, it would be a disaster.

Su Ming also found himself in a difficult situation. They couldn't disengage from their Mechas and go down to the field like the soldiers.

Clang! Clang!

At this moment, Lin Chuyu, Teacher Tang Yan, and others, piloting their training machines, arrived to escort a group of students.

Tang Yan looked at the chaotic training ground ahead, his brow furrowed, and said to Su Ming and the other two, "It's too messy. You three shouldn't get involved. I'm entrusting these students we're escorting to you. Protect them well."

"Okay!"

Minke immediately took the lead in responding.

"Lin Chuyu, you come with me to the edge of the training ground to assist with the rescue!"

Tang Yan said to Lin Chuyu, then piloted his Mecha towards the chaotic crowd.

Lin Chuyu piloted her Mecha very cautiously, following behind Tang Yan.

Su Ming and the other two stood in place, watching Tang Yan and Lin Chuyu go to the rescue.

Tang Yan and Lin Chuyu quickly reached the edge of the training ground, their nerves stretched to the extreme. Seeing the rescue Mechas arrive, the students swarmed towards them like drowning people grabbing at straws.

Tang Yan and Lin Chuyu immediately stopped, constantly turning their heads to scan the crowd for any hidden parasites. If they found one, they would control their Mechas to extend a hand, grab it, and then crush it.

Time passed bit by bit, and the situation was gradually brought under control. Most of the parasites were cleared out.

"Everyone, keep it up!"

Vice-Captain Xima, while eliminating the Chilami parasites, encouraged everyone.

Finally, through everyone's combined efforts, the remaining parasites were also eliminated, and the chaotic order gradually returned to normal.

"Phew, it's finally over."

Su Ming and the others looked at the now calm training ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, there was a sudden, deafening roar.

The wall on the right side of the training ground was pushed down, and a large number of deformed rats, along with the remaining parasites, swarmed in from outside, pouring into the school.

Captain Han Le's expression changed slightly, and he immediately issued an order. "Quick, come with me to block them!"

"Yes!"

Iron Head Mechas followed Captain Han Le, charging towards the damaged breach. They unleashed heavy fire on the Chilami pouring in.

Seeing this, Vice-Captain Xima immediately shouted to his subordinates, "Quick, get back into your Mechas!"

They ran towards their Mechas.
