At present, Sheyan could tell that even though the humans' firepower was ferocious, it still couldn't withstand the relentless assault of the arachnids. After observing for a few minutes, the arachnids had already pushed forward by 20 metres. If this situation continued, then in at most 5 minutes, the humans' defensive line would be in direct contact with the zerglings!
Even in the present world, there was a common law – once a distance of 2 metres was reached, then the lethality of firearms would be inferior to close combat weapons. Moreover, these soldiers were currently facing the razor-sharp fangs of the zerglings, who were known for their savage instincts?
At this moment, a commanding officer was shouting with incomparable urgency, as he repeatedly gestured to the rear, as though urging someone to take the lead and retreat. However, the vehicle that was protected in the middle did not move. Instead, several people in white power armor walked out of it. There were both men and women among them. There was an obvious cross painted in red on the armor. The medical kit in their left hand was made into the shape of a shield. One side of the shield could be used to block the enemy's attack, while the other side was filled with all kinds of medicine. It was very convenient for them to access it.
The leader of this group was a bespectacled middle-aged man. He wasn't clad in a power armour, but looked amiable and dignified. He said a few words to the surrounding Machine Gunners who were looking at them nervously. It was probably something along the lines of "I'm with you all". Those Machine Gunners cheered at the same time. Their bodies flashed with a faint white light, and their firing speed suddenly increased. This state was extremely familiar to Sheyan, obviously they were utilizing the 'Stimulant' ability of their armour.
At present, the few white power armour individuals had already dispersed amongst the soldiers. Specks of blue glow flickered in their hands, before transforming into specks of water vapour above the heads of the soldiers, before slowly fusing into their bodies. It seemed like they were restoring their HP. At this moment, Mogensha exclaimed in astonishment.
"I've seen this information in the Steel Outpost Base, aren't they medics? In this world, there are a few humans who have slightly awakened their MP. After undergoing training, they become relatively good field medics. They can transform their MP into a continuous healing effect. "
Under the powerful effects of the 'Stimulant' ability, the advancing arachnid frontline was swiftly pushed back, leaving behind a mess of flesh and blood. Originally, the arachnid frontline was 50 metres away from the human frontline, but now, they were pushed back to a hundred metres away.
But at this moment, the arachnids suddenly changed their formation. First, like a tide, they retreated out of the firing range of the tanks. Then, the dozen over leader zerglings suddenly congregated together, forming a thick triangular cone formation. Naturally, the next step, they would be the vanguard, while the other smaller zerglings would be the rear; charging forward with the momentum of a thunderbolt!
Mogensha hurriedly exclaimed.
"These guys are in 'in's way!"
Sheyan glanced at the remaining 2-3 chief-class zerglings of the arachnid army, and resolutely ordered.
"No, I have to support them."
Mogensha pondered a little before replying.
"Ordinary zerglings only have about 30 points of attack. It's said that if there's a metal ore near their incubation pool, then their attack will increase. But at most, it won't exceed 40 points. Their terror lies in their fast attack speed. Considering your special ability, it's practically impossible to break through their defence. The only thing to worry about is their explosive strike. But those zerglings below are simply too many ….. I feel you should first circle around and rendezvous with the machine gunners. "
"No no no, rendezvous with those guys seems like a good idea, but it's actually much more dangerous. Obviously, they will definitely push me to the frontline. If a few of the leader zerglings survive, then the pressure on me will be even greater. More importantly, the impression I'll leave on them isn't deep enough. I won't be able to reap enough benefits. "
Mogensha was slightly stunned as he asked.
"Don't tell me you intend to cross from the side alone?"
Sheyan nodded seriously and replied.
"Why not? According to the data collected from the Steel Whip base, the zerglings' attack cannot reach my defence breaking standard. As the lowest tier of the arachnid army, their strength lies in their astonishing numbers, fast movement speed, and fast attack speed. Therefore, apart from their low HP, their low explosive strike rate is also their weakness. In actual combat testing, it's only about 1%. Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems. "
Mogensha muttered.
"Speaking of which, the risk has indeed been lowered to an acceptable level. Cough cough, although I'm currently sick, I still have the ability to assist you in escaping. But I still have to say, charging into the arachnid sea alone ….. is truly too dangerous."
Sheyan confidently replied.
"Don't forget, I'll be saving my 'Adrenaline Stimulant' for escaping. As long as I escape from the battlefield during the duration of the 'Adrenaline Stimulant', then I can activate another acceleration effect and successfully escape. The main attraction of the arachnids below is still the encircled human squad. Moreover, the machine gunners are protected by the medics, they won't die so easily. If I can divert some of the pressure from the side, I should be able to help them survive. "
After speaking, Sheyan gulped down a bottle of 'Flesh Bear's Gene Mix', and donned the armour he purchased. Although the armour's capabilities were exceptionally strong, it was reinforced at the joints, and had excellent sealing. It was fine during battle, but if he wore it for ordinary activities, it was no different from wearing a diving suit; incomparably stuffy. Therefore, he didn't wear it when there wasn't any danger.
Following that, he picked up the 'Prometheus III Flamethrower'. Because of its unlimited ammunition, Sheyan had been experimenting with it whenever he had the time. He had long mastered its usage like a melon melting melon. Slinging it on his back, he donned his helmet and sprinted towards the battlefield.
At this moment, almost all of the machine gunners were unleashing their firepower towards the frenzied zerglings. Even the 3 siege tanks had started to concentrate their firepower, because everyone knew what kind of horrifying situation would ensue once the zerglings reached them. However, there were still a few gunners who noticed the actions of the fiery red 'Prometheus III Flamethrower' strapped to his back. They couldn't help but raise their machine guns and unleash a torrent of firepower while whistling loudly.
"Hey! The good news is, our reinforcements have arrived. The bad news is, the reinforcements are only one person. Is he trying to commit suicide? "
Indeed, in the minds of these soldiers, these Pyromancers equipped with flamethrowers were indeed the natural enemies of the zerglings. As long as multiple Pyromancers charged in as a group, with their area of effect damage, they could completely massacre the entire group of zerglings. But the prerequisite was that the number of Pyromancers had to reach a certain level. Moreover, the opponent couldn't have a long range like the hydralisk. If not, the Pyromancers would be instantly decimated by the corrosive acid of the hydralisks.
Furthermore, the Pyromancers had a fatal weakness, which was they had no air defence capabilities. Therefore, in the current human galactic alliance, the Pyromancers were usually organized as a single unit. Wherever there was a special situation, they would be conscripted. Therefore, in these small scale bases, there weren't any Pyromancers that could be used as a specialized unit.
Just when the soldiers thought that Sheyan would be drowned in the arachnid sea, Sheyan actually halted roughly 50 metres away from the edge of the arachnid sea. Several zerglings that were sprinting towards the front suddenly became restless. Sheyan took a few steps forward, and instantly 10 plus zerglings separated themselves from the group, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they charged forward. When they entered Sheyan's firing range, Sheyan's left and right hands simultaneously pulled the trigger of his flamethrower. Two 20 metre long flaming serpents simultaneously sprayed out, completely drowning those 10 plus zerglings!
Abruptly being incinerated by the raging flames, those 10 plus zerglings were ignited alive. They howled in agony as they tried their best to scatter and flee. Yet with Sheyan's high 23 points of perceptive sensing, he could accurately predict their'S 'shaped escape routes. In the end, those zerglings were only able to run 5-6 metres before being burnt alive! Even when Sheyan purposely wanted to leave one behind to test out the might of the zerglings, he couldn't do so.
"Why is this attack so powerful ….." Sheyan was extremely shocked. Because the 'Prometheus III Flamethrower' was a weapon exclusive to this world. Not only could it not be carried, it would automatically self-destruct upon leaving this world. Therefore, Sheyan was completely unable to see the details of its attack capabilities! From the looks of it, its attack range and might far surpass the standard equipment of the Pyromancers. But after considering the difficulty and price of purchasing it, and the fact that it could only deal with the lowest level zerglings, it could only be said to be worth the price.
After luring in another wave of zerglings, Sheyan tested out the attack of this group of zerglings, it had actually reached 37 points. Looks like it was indeed as Mogensha had said. This group of zerglings had metallic ores near their nest's incubation pool, hence their attack capabilities would increase. But to the current Sheyan, breaking through the defence threshold was stuck at 50 points of attack. Therefore, 30 points of attack and 37 points of attack had no difference, both would forcefully reduce his HP by 1 point. (To be continued.)
