Type II Elite Class · Chilami

They quickly returned to their mechas and charged to Captain Han Le's side, raising their Explosive Mechanical Guns and unleashing a fierce barrage.

Rumble~

The dense rain of bullets swept over and exploded. Each bullet was like a miniature grenade, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Black blood splattered across the entire area.

Yet even so, vast numbers of Chilami continued surging forward without regard for anything else.

Lin Chuyu and the others were equally incredulous at the sight. They had never seen anything like this.

The students who had thought they were about to be saved wore looks of terror.

"We're done for. We're definitely going to die this time."

Su Ming rubbed his forehead, his head aching. The situation had developed far beyond his expectations. It really is one disaster after another.

With so many Chilami juveniles and infected bodies, if they broke through the barrage, hardly anyone at the school would survive today.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly noticed the ground near the breach in the wall bulging slightly. His heart jolted.

Unfortunately, before he could warn them, the entire ground collapsed with a roar, and a huge mass of writhing black cellular matter gushed out like oil from a ruptured well.

The black substance that sprayed out writhed in midair, splitting and extending into countless black tentacles. They quickly keratinized before stabbing into the ground and spreading indiscriminately.

"Everyone, be careful! It's a Type II Elite Class · Chilami."

Han Le's expression changed slightly, and he issued a warning at once.

One Iron Head after another jumped backward to dodge, or switched to Heavy Metal Mechanical Blades to block.

Crack!

Five Iron Head mechas failed to dodge and were instantly pierced through their cockpits.

"Ah~"

Screams rang out one after another.

The tentacles then flung the pierced mechas away!

"Ah, run!"

The students fled in terror.

Rumble~

The five Iron Head mechas crashed heavily into the ground. Their thick frames warped and split apart, exposing the internal wiring as sparks constantly flew. The firearms in their hands fell to the ground.

At this moment, the main body of the Type II Elite Class · Chilami began twisting together, gradually splitting and forming a biological shell.

"Bastard!"

Han Le flew into a rage. He lowered the cannons on his shoulders and unleashed a fierce barrage at the Type II Elite Class · Chilami.

Bang bang~

Shell after shell struck its body.

Rumble~

Amid the tremendous explosions, large chunks of black flesh splattered outward, as if they had struck a pile of mud.

The subordinates who had recovered nearby also raised their weapons and opened fire.

The Type II Elite Class · Chilami endured the fury of everyone present. Its life activity began dropping sharply, while its damaged body recovered more slowly.

After being wounded, the Type II Elite Class · Chilami's body shook violently like a heart, and invisible sound waves spread outward.

In an instant, large numbers of Chilami juveniles and parasitic bodies seemed to receive a summons. Like moths flying into flames, they streamed toward the Type II Elite Class · Chilami and merged into its body.

Teacher Tang Yan saw this and shouted in alarm.

"Not good! It's merging with the juveniles it split off! Stop them quickly, or it'll be even harder to kill!"

Han Le naturally understood. They desperately concentrated their fire on the Chilami, but their firepower was insufficient.

Seeing this, Su Ming's gaze fell on the discarded XS-01 heavy Explosive Machine Guns. Gritting his teeth, he charged forward.

When Lin Chuyu saw what Su Ming was doing, she immediately followed.

Minke and Chen Tong reacted as well and hurried after them.

The four of them successfully picked up the XS-01 heavy Explosive Machine Guns, rushed to Xima and the others, and shouted.

"We're here to help!"

Xima turned to glance at Su Ming and the others, freezing for a moment. These Iron Heads looked different from theirs. He quickly realized that they were training machines.

But he had no time to worry about that now. More people meant more strength, so he said grimly,

"Quick, concentrate your fire!"

"Okay, but why isn't this thing responding?"

Minke hurriedly raised the gun, aimed it at the Chilami, and pulled the trigger, but the machine gun did not react at all.

Chen Tong also had no idea how to use it.

Su Ming, meanwhile, carefully recalled the details of the simulation training. They must have overlooked something.

Xima nearly vomited blood at the sight. These students did not even know where the safety was. Just as he was about to remind them—

Bang bang~

Lin Chuyu had already raised the firearm in her hand and unleashed a barrage at the Chilami. At the same time, she calmly reminded them,

"These firearms are modified XS-01 heavy Explosive Machine Guns. There's a concealed safety activation device on the bottom of the gun body. After a weapon is dropped, it has to be reactivated before it can be used again. Just follow the details from Lesson Seven of the simulation training."

After hearing this, Su Ming and the others immediately activated the safety devices and fired fiercely at the Type II Elite Class · Chilami.

Unfortunately, even with Su Ming and the others' help, the situation did not improve at all.

As vast numbers of Chilami juveniles gathered, the Type II Elite Class · Chilami swelled like a balloon. At the same time, its black cellular body writhed rapidly, beginning to divide into a humanoid form as a sturdy biological shell solidified over its exterior.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the situation grow increasingly dire, Captain Han Le drew his Alloy Blade and charged straight at the gradually forming Type II Elite Class · Chilami.

The Type II Elite Class · Chilami also sensed the threat and extended countless black tentacles toward Han Le.

Han Le controlled Iron Wing at high speed, dodging the attacks. When he could not evade them, he swung the Alloy Blade and severed the tentacles in a single slash.

Han Le instantly closed in and struck the solidifying biological shell with one slash.

Crack!

The shell broke, and nearly half of the Alloy Blade sank into its body.

But in the next second, the Type II Elite Class · Chilami split off a tentacle from its body. It pierced toward Han Le's mecha from the left.

"Captain, watch your left!"

Xima's heart jolted. He shouted while changing his magazine.

Han Le immediately turned his head. A glinting tentacle was already rushing toward him head-on, and half his heart went cold.

Bang bang~

Amid the precise bursts of gunfire, the tentacle was instantly shot to pieces.

Xima looked toward Su Ming, who had fired the accurate shots, and praised him.

"Nicely done!"

Han Le also let out a slight sigh of relief.

However, the Type II Elite Class · Chilami split off a black claw from its right side and swept it toward Captain Han Le.

Han Le's heart jolted again. He swiftly drew the Alloy Blade to block!

Bang~

The entire mecha was sent flying like a ball. It crashed heavily into the ground and slid dozens of meters.

"Captain!"

Seeing Han Le swept away, the other team members furiously unleashed their firepower at the swelling Type II Elite Class · Chilami.

At this moment, the forces responsible for the encirclement outside the school also arrived. They immediately locked onto the Type II Elite Class · Chilami and opened fire at full strength.

Dense bullets, rockets, and shells rained down on the body of the Type II Chilami.

Rumble~
