When Henrik heard Reef's roar, he gritted his teeth and attempted to stand up, but immediately collapsed back to the ground. The frail physique of a support type contestant was undoubtedly exposed, a horrifying scar could be seen on his calf, as though half of his calf had been ripped apart by a zergling. Fresh blood gushed out like it was free, quickly forming a pool of blood on the ground. If not for Reef's powerful repelling effect, the two of them would've been drowned by the arachnid sea.
"Hurry up, Reef to the central hall, we'll cover you!" Frantic Harnik and Qiaoer both started shouting. "Henrik is hopeless, don't throw your life away for him."
Reef roared out.
"No! I've already sworn, I won't abandon a single party member! "
At this moment, the remaining zerglings had already pounced forward, drowning Reef and Henrik. They blocked the opening, forming a gigantic flesh ball! This short 2-3 seconds felt as long as 2-3 years. But at this moment, Reef's frantic voice once again boomed out.
"Absolute! NO! "
His two words, was shockingly a mad roar towards the sky. One could distinctly observe Reef's mouth as the epicenter, a formless shockwave rippled outwards. Like a ripple, the shockwave swept across all creatures in all directions!
The radius of the shockwave was as wide as hundreds of square metres. After the zerglings with a mere 50 HP were swept by the shockwave, they instantly exploded into puddles of blood. Even 2-3 nearby hydralisks were unlucky enough to be caught in the shockwave. Although they didn't die from the shockwave's shockwave and their carapaces shattered, they still fell into a sluggish state!
In this instance, everyone was stupefied. Sheyan couldn't help but recall the 'Banshee's Howl' they previously encountered. But no matter if it was the shockwave effect or the range of the attack, it far exceeded that. At this moment, Henrik once again released his' Grease 'skill towards the opening, successfully obstructing the subsequent zerglings. A group of SUVs rushed over, activating the engine of a temporary steel supply station, pushing it towards the opening, barely blocking the opening.
From the central hall, close to a hundred marines rushed towards the frontlines. After receiving reinforcements, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, finally obtaining a slight breather. But as long as the surrounding hydralisks weren't wiped out, then the casualties of the marines were inevitable. Once they reached a critical point where they couldn't deal enough damage to the zerglings, then no doubt, a breach was only a matter of time.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the loud metallic sounds of the hydraulic transmission device colliding with each other. Of course, there was also the ear-piercing whistling sound of steam being discharged. Turning around, they were instantly ecstatic.
The two heavy siege tanks that were originally parked in the middle of the base had undergone a complete makeover, looking brand new. Two short and thick mechanical legs that were originally folded on both sides of the tank extended out, forcefully propping themselves against the ground. Two streams of white steam gushed out from the exhaust holes on both sides. The 'Mjolnir' Anti-Aircraft Cannon revolved in a circle, as it tilted upwards at a 30 degree angle, its pitch-black muzzle pointing towards the sky.
"Boom boom!" Massive cannon booms boomed out, as though the entire earth was trembling from the bombardment of the cannon. These two heavy siege tanks had escaped from a much larger scale bearing base. After receiving the latest technological enhancements, their firepower had already reached the maximum. When the two heavy cannons simultaneously unleashed their firepower onto a single area, a single volley was enough to clear out an area of 30 square metres. Whether it was zerglings or hydralisks, none were spared! As for the heavy siege tanks, after entering siege mode, their shooting range was incomparably terrifying, at least 3 times that of the hydralisks. Practically every arachnid that besieged the base was within their range of firepower suppression!
After consecutively firing 10 cannons, at least 30 hydralisks and close to a hundred zerglings had died tragically under the torrential firepower of the heavy cannons. The pressure of the hydralisks on the external walls was greatly reduced. The frenzied zerglings that were pouncing on the steel walls were also slaughtered. Under such circumstances, some SUVs equipped with enhanced armour dared to rush out and carry out emergency repairs to the bunker. The flashes of the welding torch and the tongues of the machine gun turret crisscrossed. Very obviously, the situation was slowly tipping towards the base. Only, the arachnids' eyes were red with bloodlust, resolutely fighting to the death without retreating.
Under Qiaoer's deliberate assault, the hydralisks on the outer perimeter turned into pools of blood one after another. Even the gunners of the two heavy siege tanks began to bombard the hydralisks on the outer perimeter. After the hydralisks with long range capabilities were wiped out, the arachnid's plan of relying on ground forces to conquer the base had completely failed. Still, the zerglings continued to frenziedly batter against the steel walls, truly not giving up until death.
When the battle had basically concluded, a pungent stench permeated the air. This should be the stench of the bodily fluids of the dead arachnids. If not for the thick smell of gunpowder mixed in, then it would really be a nauseating hallucination. The machine gunners in power armor on the frontline had retreated one after another. They tucked their blood-stained helmets under their armpits and gathered in twos and threes with cigarettes in their mouths. Occasionally, they would punch each other in jest, loudly boasting about their achievements, and talking about women.
Sporadic gunshots could be heard from outside the walls, those were the soldiers sweeping up the battlefield giving a final shot to the dying arachnids. Below the walls, the zergling corpses had already piled up to 3-4 metres high, forming a gruesome meat slope. The SUVs drove their construction machines as they skillfully shovelled away large chunks of corpses like shovelling rubbish. Digging holes, burying them. It seemed like such battles were common, the SUVs were already handling it step by step, and were familiar with the process.
To a contestant, not losing a member in this defensive battle was a fortunate matter. Although the wizard Henrik was protected by Reef, his frail physique caused a few scratches from the zerglings to turn into a fatal injury. Even the berserk Harnik had his left arm bitten off. The good news was that after this battle, everyone's reputation within the party had risen from 'Indifferent' to 'Amicable', some even reached 'Respected'. This meant that they could pay a small price to utilize the central hall's medical treatment facility.
The principle behind this facility was to soak a human in a fetal amniotic fluid. Then depending on the severity of the injury, a biochemical repair particle blade would be used to catalyze and divide the cells. Hence, it could speedily heal crippled limbs and other injuries, and only required a short 2-3 hours! With such a healing rate, the party's strength was reduced to an acceptable level due to the loss of members in battle.
After experiencing the day's intense battle, the party had a clear understanding of everyone's strength. Although Sheyan's performance was lukewarm, no matter if it was his formidable support ability or his existence as a close combat contestant, he was extremely important to the party. Under the circumstances where he didn't commit any mistakes, he was classified as a core member of the party. Instead, the reputation of the berserk Harnik and Qiaoer plummeted. Naturally, it was because they had requested Reef to abandon his comrade at the crucial moment. Their actions had brought about a severe negative impact. Almost everyone viewed Reef as the party's leader, even Tulip, whose personal strength had been severely damaged by Reef's reprimand, didn't object.
At this moment, an orderly came to pass a message to the contestants, informing them that the base's commanding officer, Tommy Kevin, wished to meet them. Very quickly, this irascible lieutenant colonel stood before them with a gloomy expression. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth several steps before speaking.
"Although I don't like you guys, yes! Let me reconfirm this point, but I still have to admit, you guys did a good job. Not only did you rescue those idiots from the bearing base, you even got rid of that crafty hydralisk commander's flagellum. After this battle, the nearby arachnids won't be able to develop again for at least a few months. You, step forward! "
Tommy Kevin pointed to Qiaoer. Qiaoer's face exposed a trace of ecstasy, as he stepped forward. The commander fished out a medal from his pocket, loudly announcing.
"This is a special reward for eliminating Flagellum!"
Following that, the commander pointed to Sheyan.
"Soldier, step forward!"
Sheyan stepped forward, and unexpectedly received a purple star medal. Only now did he know that the giant scourge he killed was called Skeletal Wing. It was also one of the most famous arachnids in the base. Although he didn't deal much damage to it, Sheyan was the first to entangle it, and even rescued a soldier from its claws. Therefore, it could be considered a meritorious service.
This purple star medal only had one attribute: When purchasing prestige items from the quartermaster, there was a 5% discount. It should be the lowest grade medal.
Following that, Tommy Kevin paced back and forth a few more steps.
"Just now, the headquarters sent a message, saying that they've dispatched a bomber to support the Whiskey base's' Tough Guy 'unit. They've also airdropped supplies, therefore, there shouldn't be a problem for them to hold on until tomorrow morning. The southern Iron Cabinet base has also dispatched 3 'Vulture Minecart' units to coordinate with your operations. If there aren't any accidents, they should reach here in 3 hours. At that time, your comrades should have recovered, that will be the best time for you guys to set off. " If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes.
