The notification sound fell, and about one kilometer in front of the defense line, a dark red figure suddenly accelerated. Wherever it passed, whether it was an abandoned vehicle or a low-level Abyssal Beast, it was torn apart by the pair of terrifying bone blades as easily as cutting paper.
That palpitating sense of oppression, even from such a distance, made the soldiers on the front line feel numb.
However, no one panicked.
"Did you hear everything?"
A Source Martial Army officer commanded through the combat channel, "Old rules, Big Guy belongs to Team Zhao and the others, and the miscellaneous fish belong to us. Fire team, extend the shooting, cover the lord's flanks, others, clean up the minions near the defense line, don't let them get in the way."
The orders are clear and concise.
In an instant, the firepower distribution of the defense line changed subtly.
All kinds of heavy firepower began to be biased towards both sides of the Bloodthirsty Blade Lord impact path, suppressing the ordinary Abyssal Beast that followed.
The soldiers and civilian warriors were more focused on clearing away the enemies who rushed to the fortifications.
They trust the command system behind them, and even more trust the Training Corps team that is as nailed to the front as Rock.
Zhao Gang took in a breath slowly, then exhaled it slowly, and adjusted the muscles of the arm holding the shield slightly.
He said behind him without looking back:
"Are you all ready? Follow plan C. Chen Mo, pay attention to its arc slash. Li Lei, its lower limb joints are the weak points. Wang Xue, look for opportunities. Zhou Qing, pay attention to the environment."
There was no wave in his voice, as if what he was about to face was not a Source Energy Unit terrifying monster twice as big as him, but just a daily training mission.
--
At the same time, the territory of C-04 Small Nest is thousands of kilometers away.
"Bang!"
The heavy fire door groaned under the impact, and the screws on the door shaft creaked under the huge impact, as if they were about to completely collapse in the next second.
Under the crack in the door, turbid and smelly mucus was constantly seeping in, accompanied by scalp-numbing roaring and scratching sounds outside the door.
"Hold on! Old K, fat man, move the things over here. Block everything that can be moved!"
A Jie roared hoarsely, his forehead was cut open by the flying gravel, and blood mixed with sweat flowed into the corners of his eyes, making his vision blurry.
Here is the "Grey Eagle" team, a team of folk warriors struggling to survive in the quagmire of the apocalypse.
At this moment, they were trapped in this abandoned office building on the edge of C-04's lair, on the 23rd floor.
Just half an hour ago, they were delighted to have discovered a small nest of "Shadowclaw Cat" lurking in the convenience store.
Although this kind of Abyssal Beast can only drop the lowest level Gray Crystal, the advantage is that they are all in a group, and if you put the quantity together, it can be considered a profit.
However, the lair rioted without warning, completely trapping them here.
The black beast tide was like a flood that broke a bank, instantly flooding the streets and blocking all their escape routes.
As a last resort, they had no choice but to fight and retreat, and rushed into this tall office building that once symbolized prosperity, but now looked like a huge tombstone.
"Here we come! There is movement in the safety passage on the left too!"
The fat man in charge of the rear quickly rushed over. On the screen of the miniature source energy Detector in his hand, red light spots representing the low-level Abyssal Beast were densely gathered behind the door.
Old K and Fatty gritted their teeth and pushed the desks and file cabinets scattered nearby to the door. The heavy furniture rubbed against the ground and made a harsh noise, which was particularly clear in this closed space.
The only woman in the team, Xiao Ling, leaned against a load-bearing column with a pale face and quickly changed the magazine of her assault rifle.
"Within the range of Detector, there are no new source energy signals in the building for the time being, except for those downstairs." Xiao Ling gasped and glanced at the smaller Detector on his wristband, "But the door won't hold up for long."
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on!"
A Jie wiped the blood on his face, with a desperate look in his eyes, "The rescue signal has been sent, Merit System shows it has been read, the military will definitely send someone! Cheer up! Think of the family members in the settlement waiting for us to go back!"
The word "family" brought a glimmer of light back into everyone's eyes that were on the verge of being distracted.
The fat man roared, and the fat all over his body seemed to tighten a little, and he suddenly pushed a heavy safe to the front of the pile of debris.
"Hiss. Bang!"
The fire door was finally forced open through a gap with a heartbreaking sound of metal tearing.
A sharp claw covered with dark brown cuticles thrust in, frantically scratching at the obstacle blocking the door.
"Fire!"
A Jie ordered without hesitation.
In an instant, gunshots rang out.
The fiery barrage splashed towards the crack of the door, instantly blowing away the sharp claws and the ferocious head trying to squeeze in from behind.
But more Abyssal Beast came up one after another, hitting the obstacles with their bodies, tearing them with their claws, and corroding them with acid.
The obstacles blocking the door are being destroyed and melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Evacuate and go to the twenty-fourth floor!" A Jie made a prompt decision.
The team immediately took cover and retreated up the stairs filled with broken glass and discarded documents.
They retreated backwards with difficulty, layer after layer.
Starting from the first floor, it has now retreated to more than 20 floors.
The building is like an endless spiral, with the unknown upward and the abyss downward.
Depression and despair are like clammy cobwebs, quietly wrapping around everyone's heart.
Ammunition is decreasing rapidly, and source energy is also rapidly consumed during high-intensity fighting and running.
"Twenty-fifth floor. The security door is still intact."
The fat man's voice was obviously tired. He leaned behind the fire door from the 24th floor to the 25th floor, breathing rapidly.
Everyone just wanted to breathe a little sigh of relief.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!!"
The miniature source energy Detector in Fatty's hand, which had been showing dense red dots downstairs and scattered red dots inside the building, suddenly emitted a sharp buzz that was completely different from before.
Everyone's movements froze for an instant, and their eyes were all focused on the small screen.
At the edge of the screen, representing the area outside the building, an extremely bright scarlet light spot was approaching towards the building where they were at a breathtaking speed.
Next to the light spot, the automatically marked Source Energy Unit value beat wildly, and finally stabilized at a number that almost stopped their hearts - 17900.
"First Leader level." The fat man smiled bitterly.
The air seemed to freeze.
The glimmer of luck that had just arisen was crushed by this terrifying number.
17900 Source Energy Unit, for them whose average Source Energy Unit is less than 200 points, is as unshakable as a mountain.
In front of such monsters, the firearms in their hands and their pitiful source of energy are not much stronger than those made of paper.
"Will it come in?" Xiao Ling murmured, subconsciously approaching A Jie.
A Jie stared at the screen, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but no sound came out.
He could only pray that this terrifying beast was just passing by and not interested in the "can" building surrounded by low-level Abyssal Beast.
The highlighted red dot on the screen approached the building with an oppressive attitude.
It seemed to pause for a moment, and then actually moved from the edge of Detector, which is the side of the building!
"It's passed! It's passed!" Fatty almost cried with joy.
A sense of exhaustion from the aftermath of a disaster swept over everyone.
The fat man collapsed directly on the ground, breathing heavily.
Old K wiped cold sweat and murmured, "God bless you."
However, their rejoicing only lasted less than ten seconds.
The highlighted red dot that had moved to the other edge of the screen stopped without warning.
Then, he turned back under everyone's horrified gaze.
