Even though Henrik's' Fireball 'didn't seem to be that powerful, but the zerglings that were struck by the fireball instantly exploded with a loud bang. Flames sprayed out in all directions, igniting the' Grease 'region. The flames rapidly extended to both sides, forming a wide wall of fire. Blazing with raging flames, billowing out thick billows of smoke. Thus, if the zerglings behind wanted to advance, they would either have to traverse through this sea of fire, or take a detour from both sides. This undoubtedly gave the temporary party more buffer time.
Yet the zerglings were simply too numerous, to the extent that they could disregard any obstacles!
That sea of fire was extinguished by the waves of zerglings. If one had to use an adjective to describe these attacking beasts, it could only be described as an arachnid tide!
A tide of arachnid tide!
A short few hundred metres of retreat, had transformed into an incomparably tragic tunnel of death.
Not a single one of the 4 reinforcements survived, and the party's first casualty occurred here. A contestant was knocked to the ground by a zergling, and was drowned in a flash. He didn't even have the chance to scream, like a rock sinking into the water without bubbling.
Tulip's' Alaskan Great Bear 'was similarly reduced to cannon fodder. Although its paw could slap a zergling to death, once it was surrounded by a horde of zerglings, it couldn't escape its fate. Its flesh and fur were rapidly stripped away by the zerglings. If Tulip didn't use her unique chain weapon to retrieve the' Great Bear's Horcrux ', then the bear wouldn't even have the slightest hope of reviving. Of course, it was worth mentioning that this woman was the first to escape into the base.
In this battle, Sheyan's performance was average, and didn't disappoint anyone. Instead, it was Mogensha and Qiaoer who displayed their formidable prowess. Especially Qiaoer, the final shot he fired was obviously using his ability. Its might was actually comparable to a heavy artillery bombardment, blasting out a hundred square metre crater on the ground. That single shot had eliminated at least a hundred zerglings. If not for that terrifying shot, perhaps the party would have suffered even more casualties.
When the 2 heavy siege tanks rumbled into the base, the gate of the base slowly closed. Several SUVs also gathered around, and hurriedly carried out maintenance and firefighting work on the 2 tanks. An ear piercing welding sound accompanied by a shower of sparks permeated out. All the armored machine gunners simultaneously swarmed up the steel base's outer walls. The 5 bunkers were operating at full capacity, frenziedly reaping the lives of the arachnids.
All the contestants received a notification:
"Hidden mission: 'Rescue' completed."
"The survivors of the Bearing base have safely returned to the steel base."
"You receive 2 achievement points, 1 potential point as a reward."
At this moment, the contestants naturally wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity. One after another, they swarmed up the steel base's outer walls, roaring loudly as they opened fire to vent their previous depression. Once an arachnid creature dropped a key or an arachnid nucleus that could be exchanged for reputation points, it would automatically be stored in the owner's nightmare imprint. There wouldn't be a predicament of not being able to pick it up.
For contestants like Sheyan and Reef who lacked long range attacks, they could pick up their standard electromagnetic rifles and strafe. The densely packed arachnid sea below definitely wouldn't face the problem of not being able to hit them. But probably because they were using standard human rifles, the arachnids they killed would only provide reputation points, and not drop a key.
Based on Sheyan's current pitiful 2 points of charm, killing an ordinary zergling would only provide him with a mere 2 points of reputation. But with Tulip's charm of 25 points, she would provide him with 7 points of reputation. The disparity was obvious. Fortunately, Sheyan was part of a party, and the others would also receive 1 reputation point from killing arachnids. Hence, his rate of improvement was rather swift.
All of a sudden, he noticed a string of + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 4 With Mogensha's assistance, Sheyan's reputation naturally soared rapidly.
All of a sudden, Sheyan noticed several '+ 15' values abruptly popping out from his reputation, before the '+ 3' and '+ 3' values stopped popping out. Evidently, Mogensha had slain several high reputation creatures, and had suffered an intense backlash. Sheyan was about to toss aside his weapon to investigate, when he suddenly heard a strange sound from afar, as though something was forcefully inhaling. Following that, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation from his left side, as he instantly pounced towards the right without hesitation.
Not even a second after Sheyan pounced out, a rustling sound drifted in from where he was previously standing. It sounded like rain pouring down from the sky. Following that, a large puddle of dark green liquid shot out from the sky. That liquid seemed to be extremely corrosive, even the metal railings that came in contact with it started to bubble densely. The originally smooth and solid metal railings quickly turned into a pile of rotten twig-like objects, before finally rotting into dregs. It was as though a gust of wind would disintegrate it into ashes.
"Shit!" Although Sheyan had already sensed the danger, he was still splashed by the dark green liquid. His skin started to fester, and his nightmare imprint directly notified him that he had suffered continuous damage from acidic venom. Every 5 seconds, his HP would decrease by 3 points for 15 seconds.
At the same time, incessant cries of agony drifted in from the surrounding walls of the base. Evidently, the marines had also suffered casualties. Sheyan gazed towards the surrounding arachnids, noticing several large arachnid creatures surging around. Their skin was brown in color, and they were in a half human state. Dragging behind them their enormous tails were a symmetrical greyish white bone spikes that were constantly retracting, as they wriggled forward. Their heads had distinct gills on both sides, and the acidic venom was propelled by their muscular gills as they breathed in and out.
"That should be a hydralisk right?" Sheyan had previously seen an illustration of this creature on the screen of the base. It was a higher class arachnid creature than the zerglings, and the acidic venom it secreted was extremely disgusting and lethal. Once a group of hydralisks concentrated their firepower, even the steel alloy bunker wouldn't be able to withstand it. It would easily explode into flames.
More crucially, with the suppressive firepower of the hydralisks, the zerglings could frenziedly assault the metallic walls of the base. Once a hole was breached, then the base wouldn't be far from collapsing.
At this moment, Qiaoer's sniper rifle once again displayed its immense usefulness. Every time a gunshot rang out, a hydralisk would definitely be struck. Either it would explode on the spot, or it would be sent flying far away from the battlefield, unable to continue fighting. However, the arachnids' numbers were truly endless, and the sniper rifle's firing rate couldn't possibly be as fast as a machine gun.
After clenching their teeth and persevering for several minutes, a metal bunker on the left finally couldn't withstand the combined assault of the hydralisk and zerglings. It burst into flames, and finally exploded with a loud rumble. The few machine gunners inside didn't even have the time to recover from the dizziness of the explosion, before they were swarmed by the incomparably savage zerglings and ripped into shreds!
Following that, a metallic wall on the west side shook a few times, emitting a tooth numbing sound. Following that was the frantic clawing sounds of the zerglings, concentrated like a drum beat! Just listening to it was enough to cause one's heart to palpitate!
Magus Henrik was coincidentally standing on top of that metallic wall, he didn't even have the time to react. That metallic wall had already collapsed with a loud rumble! A group of zerglings frantically clawed their way in, the zerglings behind were like a tidal wave crashing in. It was a scene of total collapse.
Magus Henrik roared out wildly, with his body as the epicenter, a crimson ring of flames erupted out. Like a hurricane, the nearby zerglings were instantly blown away, turning into ashes in midair without a sound.
However, this spell had clearly exhausted his energy, causing him to kneel on the ground dejectedly. From afar, the incoming tide of zerglings blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Without a trace of hesitation or fear, they carried a frenzy, bloodlust and savagery that engulfed everything!
At this critical juncture, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared on the roof of the nearby steel supply station. The figure's left hand was gripping onto a gigantic shield that sparkled with silver brilliance. The shield's shape was exceedingly strange, resembling a long flat creature's head. His right hand was gripping onto a short sword that was coiled with black mist. Indeed, it was Reef! His entire body was shrouded in a layer of indescribable brilliance, as though an invisible armour was flowing over his body.
Then he directly leapt downwards, with his feet as the epicenter, he instantly spread out in all directions. Although the supply depot was merely 4 metres high, but the commotion caused by Reef's landing was practically comparable to a transformer leaping down from a skyscraper. With his feet as the epicenter, a powerful shockwave rippled out, as several zerglings leapt towards him with bared fangs and brandished claws. They were directly struck by the shockwave, and were sent flying 7-8 metres away.
"Let's go!" Reef's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted towards Magus Henrik. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
