Chapter 655: The Bloody Battle in New York City (8)

Outside the New City Barrier, the life-and-death duel between the two armies of bugs and zombies continues. The stumps of zombies and bugs flew in mid-air, and the corpses of monsters on the ground piled up, and in many places even covered the skyscrapers.

At first, the survivors all had the attitude of watching the fire from the other side, hoping that it would be best for both corpses and insects to fight and lose both; But the tide of battle didn't go as well as it could see: the zombies were outnumbered; In terms of individual average combat effectiveness, it is also slightly lower than that of insects, after all, the latter is larger and stronger, and has more limbs and attack methods; What's more, the bugs have a unified dispatch and command, and their strategy and tactics are no less than those of humans, while the corpse herds are completely instinctive.

After an hour of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The army of corpses lost more than 200,000 deaths, and the insects also paid a price of more than 100,000. Judging from the situation, the dominant bugs have formed a trend of encirclement of the remaining few high-level zombies. The Corpse King White is still strong and invincible, but it can't fundamentally turn the tide. Hundreds of high-level bugs, many times more robust, surrounded the corpse king in the center, using wheel tactics to attack from all sides.

The people in the enchantment couldn't help but start sympathizing with these zombies. Regardless, their arrival greatly eased the pressure on the human survivors, buying them a vital hour to recuperate and reorganize their defenses.

//////

Dr. Sam stared at his most successful test subject, the Corpse King White, with mixed feelings, "Zha Lin is so unpredictable that he has turned even the most unruly White into his loyal hound." During the time that White was released by me, he achieved efficient evolution, which is why he was able to obtain such amazing combat power. Arguably, it's the most powerful monster I've ever seen, even the dinosaur bugs that are bigger than it. It would be nice if I could get a complete sample of White's body, which would be incredibly important for my follow-up research. I'm afraid the bugs won't agree. ”

A few hundred meters away, Schwarronsen had a different idea: "If the Corpse King dies in battle, the bugs will inevitably transfer their main forces to deal with the humans, and this rare situation will be unsustainable." It is imperative that we take the initiative and force the bugs to divide their forces. ”

Before he could express this idea, Bison Bill had once again mobilized for battle.

Mei Yingxue hesitated again and again, but finally agreed and supported the request of Bison Bill, Schwarronsen and others to fight, and organized a death squad composed of sixth-level powerhouses and other top masters to fight into the swarm at all costs.

The death squad penetrated more than 1 kilometer deep into the insect swarm with a devastating force, and forcibly opened a passage made of insect corpses in the sea of insects.

Schwaronson, Jack, and Rose worked together to control the improved version of the Reaper mecha to kick and strike, easily sweeping away the dozens of newly pounced guard bugs. Schwarronsen exclaimed excitedly: "What a pleasure! Ladies and gentlemen, if you push a little harder, maybe we can end the fight before dark. ”

"Never despise bugs!" Sophia's figure swept by, "Otherwise, it will be us humans who will suffer." ”

"I don't despise them, I've done my best, and I'm going to use the Reaper mech against them."

Just when everyone thought that the insects were no longer able to fight, there was a loud noise everywhere, and the ground was lifted in many places, and more than a dozen excavator insects were drilled, and then a large number of insects of different sizes came out like a spring, closely surrounding the death squad.

"We've been tricked!" Sophia reminded in a loud voice, "Everyone hurry back to the barrier." ”

For those with space-spanning abilities, returning to the enchantment is just a blink of an eye. However, this time, the bugs seemed to have expected it, and they created an enchantment that shimmered with blood-red light before everyone could react. A sixth-level powerhouse who wanted to flash for the first time was stopped by the enchantment and was seriously injured.

"Don't go near the red barrier of bugs! There are heat, electric shocks, toxins, and curses on the red barrier! The injured sixth-level powerhouse warned loudly.

Mei Yingxue and others in the human enchantment sensed that the situation was abnormal and wanted to organize a rescue, but then the enchantment was attacked by insects again, and she had to give up the rescue plan and desperately organize resistance.

//////

In the concentric protective net, Wendy just finished reciting the concentric mantra, and whispered to Adele and Ivy: "Mr. Zhalin is just too good, why doesn't he cast a strong attack attribute on the concentric spell?" How easy it would be for us to curse monsters and villains to death just by chanting a spell! ”

"The male god must have a reason for doing this." Adele has become a die-hard fan of Lin Zaishan, and consciously defends him everywhere.

"No matter how reasonable it is, it's useless, we're all dying."

"Ladies, have a little faith in yourself, in your companions, and in the male gods."

"Didn't Mr. Zharin go to the Insect Killer King? Why hasn't there been a response yet? He wouldn't be the Worm King who didn't kill it, but he became the Worm King's meal, right? ”

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Adele angrily reprimanded.

"What use are you to me? I'm not a bug. You have what it takes to bring Mr. Zalin back victorious! ”

"The person who can recite a few words in my heart can make my male god return victorious." Adele pouted at Carolyn Nunu, who was still praying intently not far away.

"So, people are the guardian saints of your male god, and you are just a leftover girl who plays soy sauce." Wendy verbally continues to be naughty.

Adele resisted the urge to beat Wendy and said firmly: "I don't care what others say or think, I always believe that my male god will return victorious, and use his warm hand to heal all the scars for me!" ”

Wendy was about to taunt, but the concentric protective net suddenly shook violently, and there were signs of collapse again. She hurriedly put away her strife and doubt, and recited the concentric mantra with Adele and the others.

Just when everyone thought that this time they were in the last moment, a strange energy came from the northwest direction. Wherever this energy reached, the flying insects in the air fell to the ground with a bang, and the insects on the ground froze in place. It was as if the entire Zerg camp had suddenly pressed the time pause button, and there was a dead silence everywhere. The powerful Zerg enchantment collapsed in an instant, and a new round of tidal attacks on the enchantment came to an abrupt end. A large number of originally murderous insects were frozen and killed by the muzzles and blades of the human survivors.

Mei Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then reacted and cheered excitedly: "The insect king has been killed!" ”

Indeed, just now, the insect king's body was engulfed by the energy vortex, and its star soul was included in his own star soul world by Lin Zaishan. From the perspective of the human-insect war, the insect king has indeed been eliminated.

The destruction of the insect king quickly brought about a violent and varied chain reaction. The most immediate is the failure of the Zerg army's signaling system, which falls into a brief state of numbness, thus providing an opportunity for the humans to fight back. Secondly, due to the loss of the unified command and intellectual support of the insect king with a high-level star soul, the remaining insects have become stragglers, fighting completely by instinct, and their combat power has been greatly reduced. In addition, many of the bug's special combat skills seem to be based on the "borrowing" of the Worm King's abilities, and the Bug King Star Soul was blocked and weakened by Lin Zaishan, and these skills were also affected.

Over the next few minutes, the humans and the remaining zombies threw out a small climax, and they (they) efficiently annihilated tens of thousands of bugs.

But the bugs finally woke up from their numbness and began to fight back instinctively. At this time, the total number of bugs around the barrier is still more than 300,000, and although their combat power is greatly reduced, they still have the ability to easily extinguish the human survivors. At this time, the survivors were already in a state of severe overdraft, and there was a shortage of weapons and ammunition. Their combat power is no longer sustainable.

//////

In the Worm King Cave, Lin Zaishan and the others were in a stalemate with several Star Soul Shepherds. The latter is already at the end of the crossbow, but relying on the advantage of the Star Soul level, they will not give up on the former, and they will raid in every way, plus the second European envoy finally got rid of the siege of the insects because of the collapse of the insect barrier and rushed to reinforcements in time, which further consolidated their determination to harvest Lin Zaishan and others.

Lin Zaishan's coding ability has surpassed that of the Star Soul Shepherd, and the Frits, Morpheus, Cassidian, and Vals who have been recuperating are not idle, they all have their own life-saving and enemy-killing tricks, and at this critical juncture, of course, they no longer keep it, and they show their powers.

All of a sudden, the two sides were inseparable. Lin Zaishan's people fought very hard and hard, but the five Star Soul Shepherds didn't take advantage of any obvious advantages.

//////

Time passed, and it was getting close to dusk again.

The survivors of New York City have persevered to the end, with a large number of people in shock, coma, and even death due to energy overload or exhaustion.

Mei Yingxue originally expected Lin Zaishan and others to come back in time to rescue after killing the insect queen, but the latter just didn't return for a long time. When she received the signal that they were fighting against the five Star Soul Shepherds, her heart sank completely. In a stalemate with the Star Soul Shepherd without a numerical advantage, this outcome will definitely not be too optimistic, even if there is a demon like Lin Zaishan, it is difficult to change.

The density of flying insects in the air decreases, allowing the sunset to shine through.

Looking at the sunset that seemed to be dyed with murderous aura and blood, Mei Yingxue sighed lightly: "This should be the last sunshine I can see." ”

As she was in despair, two bolts of fire pierced the sky, dragging their long tails to hit the distant place where the sunset met the ground.

"Boom", two huge mushroom clouds rose, and a powerful shock wave swept up numerous insects and building ruins to spread out in all directions, and swept across the sea, setting off huge waves that slammed into the barrier.

"Whose missile is this?" Mei Yingxue looked at her in surprise and joy.

Of course, these two missiles can't kill too many bugs, but they have a deterrent effect on attracting bugs' attention, disrupting their formation, and perceiving them.

"It's a super battleship!" Someone cheered loudly.

Mei Yingxue looked at the side of the enchantment near the water area in the direction pointed by everyone, and saw that under the sunset, above the surging sea in the distance, a huge battleship was cutting through the wind and waves. Missiles and cannons on the battleship were fired one after another, swinging and killing insects in patches.

The tens of thousands of sparrow insects that were still left in the air immediately rushed towards the super battleship frantically. As they approached, hundreds of super-battleship's super-powered cannons opened fire at the same time, weaving through the air to form a forbidden area of life. At the same time, the nearly 10,000 passengers on the super battleship—in addition to the crew of the Hades, are mainly members of the Huaxia Templars, who are mostly capable people and have good technological equipment and magical skills—they also wear mechs and attack flying insects from various corners with various weapons.

Kongse, Elder Xue, and Qu Youming, the three sixth-level star soul masters, flashed quickly in front of Mei Yingxue in the enchantment.

"Venerable Mei, I hope we haven't come too late." Elder Xue said with a guilty face.

"You've come just in time! One minute later, we could all have died in the mouths of worms. ”

"Rest well! It's time for us to star in the next scene. After finishing speaking, Sorase flashed within the barrier, weaving various spell protection nets and energy fields to close loopholes, expel bugs, and rescue those in danger. At this time, he still maintained himself with the rule that monks are not allowed to kill, and only drove away and stunned insects, not directly killed them. As for how others slaughtered the insects, he completely ignored them.

The super battleship stubbornly withstood the onslaught of the flying insects and continued to advance towards the barrier. Finally, after half an hour, there were not many flying insects left in the air, and then helicopters and landing craft were dispatched to start carrying reinforcements to the barrier. There were many fish monsters in the nearby sea area who took advantage of the bugs' attack to frantically pick up leaks, so the super battleship released special equipment and cast spells nearby to expel the fish monsters.

It took more than half an hour for the reinforcements on the super battleship to be delivered. The arrival of reinforcements not only greatly enhanced the strength of the survivors of the enchantment, but also directly and effectively increased the weight and influence of Mei Yingxue and the Huaxia people. Today, even the blind can see that in New City, the Huaxia Church has become the number one force.

The members of the Templar began to carry out non-stop strikes against the insects at the same time as they landed, and after all the personnel were in place, they launched a focused counterattack under Mei Yingxue's brief arrangement and command. The Hades commands the superships for long-range support and response.

After nightfall, the battle continued. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Mei Yingxue ordered the attacking forces to withdraw to the enchantment to rest. Buffalo Bill, Schwarronsen and other death squads were lucky enough to get out of the country with strong reinforcements. White is nowhere to be found.

//////

That night, the people who survived the catastrophe were still in full swing preparing for battle, and from time to time they fought against the insects through the net. They had no time to mourn the dead.

After hearing the news that Lin Zaishan was still fighting against the Star Soul Shepherd, Kong Se immediately rushed over to support. His arrival instantly changed the balance of power between the two sides. The 5 exhausted Star Soul Shepherds saw the empty color of radiance and excess energy, and had no intention of fighting again, scolding a few words starting with F, and evacuated in embarrassment.

After Lin Zaishan greeted the empty color, he immediately rushed back to New City without stopping; Morpheus, Vals, Casidio, and Fritch stayed where they were and refused to leave in order to compete for the giant stones left in the Hall of the Worm King, and they were noisy.

"I'll go! These buddies don't have the demeanor of a sixth-level master at all. Sora looked at Morpheus and Vals, two men in their seventies, pulling each other's beards, and couldn't help but taunt.

"The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, this boulder is a priceless treasure from the higher planes, no wonder they want to fight."

"In that case, why don't you fight for it?"

"The reasons are simple: first, for me, human life is more important, and I have to rush back to rescue New City; Second......" Lin Zaishan lowered his voice, "the most precious thing about this boulder is not the material of the stone itself, but the information and code contained in it. I've quietly embedded a large number of consciousness codes into the stone, and it won't take long to probe and scan. So, whoever gets the stone itself, I'm the winner. ”

"Yours is the case. Let's go back to New City. ”

//////

The return of Kongse and Lin Zaisan once again cemented the battle in New City, and the situation continued to develop in the direction of humanity's favor. The next day, after a night's rest, the various factions formed an elite assault team and began to sweep away the remnants of the enchantment periphery. Lin Zaishan is the natural striker and main force of the elite commandos, as well as the substantive front-line commander.

The sweep was carried out for a whole day, and the area of the barrier was largely emptied within a few hundred meters. That night, for the first time, survivors within the barrier were able to get a good night's sleep.

On the third day, the sweep continued. The remnants of the bugs in New York City don't pose much of a threat. Lin turned his attention to the search and rescue of survivors in New City and nearby areas. He rescued more than 100 people in various buildings. Because he was not worried about the surrounding situation, he and Kong Se conducted a reconnaissance of the hundreds of kilometers around New City, and were sure that there were no large wormholes.

In the days that followed, Lin Zaishan freed up his hands to help clean up the battlefield and collect and harvest the star souls of the bugs. Although these Star Souls are generally not of high level, and some have even degenerated into Star Soul Primordial Bodies, they are all valuable resources for coders like Lin Zaishan. In the eyes of others, he is always busy like an old scalper, but in fact, Lin Zaishan is muffling to "make a fortune". There are several masters of "knowing goods" who have joined this ranks, competing with Lin Zaishan to harvest, but none of them have his vision and efficiency. Not to mention that Lin Zaishan can identify the original body of the star soul and others basically can't, Lin Zaishan has an absolute advantage in terms of how to hold the collected star souls - he doesn't need any limited capacity at all, and all the harvested star souls are hidden in his own star soul world, which is an endless and generally safe star soul container.

In less than a week, Lin Zaishan had collected hundreds of thousands of low-level star souls (primordial bodies) and hundreds of middle-level star souls. It is no exaggeration to say that he is already the richest person in this plane, and even the tyrant-like Star Soul Shepherds are poor compared to him.

For another week, Lin Zaishan spent all his time collecting and developing new Star Soul knowledge and skills, and he was so engrossed that he didn't have time to interact with his friends, or even pay attention to Sophia and Caroline. He planned to maximize the resources of the survivors of New City in this regard before returning to Huaxia, so as to lay a solid foundation for breaking through the seventh level.
