Perfect Completion

"Quick, Luo Feng, go protect Old Chen!" Suddenly, a Beast Soldier Level Iron-Haired Wild Boar darted past Zhang Ke, startling him and causing him to shout a low warning.

Luo Feng was not far from Chen Gu, his battle blade held tight as he vigilantly watched another direction. When he heard Zhang Ke's shout, the Iron-Haired Wild Boar was already less than ten meters from Chen Gu. Clenching his teeth, he prepared to dash over and intercept the beast. But—

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Wei Brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, who had been maneuvering around the perimeter, appeared instantly in front of the Iron-Haired Wild Boar. Their movements were nearly identical: shield in one hand, curved blade in the other. They charged the beast from both sides simultaneously. Thud! Thud! Two impact sounds rang out as their shields blocked the boar's charge, followed by two arcs of cold light that slashed across the beast's front leg joints.

The Iron-Haired Wild Boar stumbled, losing its footing. Seeing the opening, Luo Feng took a sudden step forward, thrusting his shield into the beast's head, and seized the opportunity to slash his blade across its throat!

The three men exchanged a glance, and without needing further communication, they shifted their footwork and dispersed once more.

The Bloodthirsty Tank's defense was astonishing; even with Gao Feng's immense strength, it would take him a full half-minute to finish!

By now, the sounds of Luo Zhe and the others battling the monsters had gradually attracted more beasts to the fray. They charged in, roaring, their massive bodies hitting like heavy Humvees traveling at over a hundred kilometers per hour.

"Get lost."

Luo Zhe stepped forward, dodging the charge of a One-Horned Wild Boar. He slammed his left-arm shield into the beast, pivoted, and delivered a heavy kick to its flank. The force of the blow sent the charging One-Horned Wild Boar stumbling, its hooves skidding until it collided head-on with another incoming Iron-Haired Wild Boar.

"Boom!"

The two massive bodies collided like two speeding semi-trucks. The Iron-Haired Wild Boar came to a sudden halt, stumbling backward and crashing to the ground, causing the already cracked concrete street to shudder and kick up a cloud of dust. The One-Horned Wild Boar was left dazed, rolling several times before coming to a stop, its hooves kicking wildly in the air as it struggled to rise.

However, the scene did not bring a smile to Luo Zhe's face. Instead, his expression turned grim as he looked to his right, where four Iron-Haired Wild Boars were charging toward Gao Feng like four heavy tanks crushing everything in their path.

Gao Feng was at a critical juncture; he needed about ten more seconds to finish harvesting the Bloodthirsty Tank and absolutely could not be disturbed. If the collection process were delayed, the smoke would eventually clear, and more monsters would attack, rendering all their efforts futile!

"Brother Tie, Brother Qing, go protect the Captain!" Luo Zhe let out a low roar, his feet moving without hesitation as he intercepted the four Iron-Haired Wild Boars.

The combined momentum of four charging Iron-Haired Wild Boars was something even Luo Zhe could only temporarily avoid, but fortunately, there was just enough space between them for him to maneuver.

Maintaining his speed, he used precise footwork to slip between the four beasts. Gritting his teeth, he slammed his shield into one of them. The force of the boar's forward charge was immense; a thud and a crack echoed as the shield met the beast's belly, the sound of bone grinding against metal ringing out simultaneously.

Cold sweat instantly broke out across Luo Zhe's forehead.

"Hmph!" Ignoring the pain in his left arm, Luo Zhe swung his right-hand blade, accelerating it mid-air before bringing it down heavily onto another Iron-Haired Wild Boar beside him.

With their bellies suffering heavy blows, the two beasts lost their balance and stumbled into their companions, causing all four Iron-Haired Wild Boars to roll into a tangled, tumbling heap of meat.

The crisis averted, and seeing the Wei Brothers already guarding Gao Feng, Luo Zhe ignored his injury and kept moving, charging toward Chen Gu and the others.

Swish! Swish!

Zhang Ke was currently wielding a long spear, killing two Beast Soldier Level monsters and repelling three others. Suddenly, three enraged monsters roared and swarmed him. Without a shield and relying solely on his spear, Zhang Ke was quickly forced into a desperate struggle.

This horde consisted of hundreds of monsters. Initially, only a few dozen had been fighting them, but more had been drawn in.

Fortunately, the smoke obscured their vision, preventing the horde from unleashing its full, terrifying potential.

"Not good." After thrusting his spear, Zhang Ke's expression changed.

ROAR— An Iron-Haired Wild Boar's charge speed was easily fifty meters per second; it had the size of a small truck but the speed of a sports car. Zhang Ke had no time to block, as he was already being swarmed by three other monsters. Luo Feng was busy fighting two One-Horned Wild Boars in another direction and couldn't spare a hand to help.

I'm going to be seriously injured this time, Zhang Ke thought, gritting his teeth.

"Thud!"

Luo Zhe's figure darted from the side, kicking the charging Iron-Haired Wild Boar and sending it tumbling sideways. Having neutralized the threat to Zhang Ke, Luo Zhe roared, "Brother Chen, fire!"

"Chen Gu, fire!" Gao Feng, crouching beside the Bloodthirsty Tank, shoved the harvested materials into his pack and gave the order, casually smashing the head of an incoming One-Horned Wild Boar with his hammer.

"Got it."

Chen Gu licked his lips and grinned ferociously. Luo Zhe, Luo Feng, and Zhang Ke immediately retreated. As Chen Gu pulled the trigger, rat-tat-tat-tat— a stream of light erupted from the muzzle. Every bullet was an expensive armor-piercing round Chen Gu had purchased, capable of posing a minor threat even to Beast General Level monsters.

"ROAR—"

The surrounding monsters let out pained cries as the armor-piercing rounds tore into their bodies. These beasts were massive and resilient; a single shot to the body wouldn't kill them, but a shot to the skull was fatal. While these rounds couldn't pierce the skulls of Beast General Level monsters, they had no trouble with these Beast Soldiers.

One monster after another had their heads blown open, brains and blood splattering everywhere.

"Haha... die, die!"

Chen Gu looked manic. The Kro Alloy barrel didn't fear overheating or exploding, allowing him to fire continuously. The relentless hail of bullets suppressed the monster horde on one side almost instantly, while Luo Zhe and the others focused on preventing monsters from other directions from reaching Chen Gu.

The continuous gunfire caused the monsters in the smoke to pinpoint their location, and they charged in frantically.

In group combat, Chen Gu's ability with a machine gun was worth ten martial artists! But the moment the gun roared, it drew the attention of every monster nearby.

"Alright, don't get bogged down, let's go!" Gao Feng roared. He quickly led the Wei Brothers to rendezvous with Luo Zhe and the others, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The seven members of the Fire Hammer Squad fled at top speed.

"Rumble—"

Soon, hundreds of enraged monsters were in hot pursuit. The movement of a single monster made the concrete ground tremble; with hundreds running together, it felt like an earthquake. The entire street, and even the dilapidated houses and buildings nearby, vibrated, emitting a low, rumbling echo.

"The power of a horde is truly terrifying!"

Luo Zhe instinctively glanced back. The sight of hundreds of enraged, maddened monsters charging toward them was truly shocking.

"This way."

Under Captain Gao Feng's lead, the Fire Hammer Squad ducked into an alley. The alley was so narrow that the monsters couldn't even run two abreast and had to enter one by one. Taking advantage of this, the Fire Hammer Squad wove through the dense urban area, constantly turning into smaller alleys. Before long, they had completely shaken off the monster horde.
