Broken Blade Mountain position.

A detachment of soldiers of the enterprise is resting.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground stained red with blood, Tang Feng, who was sitting on the edge of the trench, panted, his right hand was placed on the rifle for a moment, and his index finger was pressed against the insurance.

Strictly speaking, this should be the first time he has been on the battlefield.

At first, there was nervousness, and a hint of panic, and then it was completely numb, and even sitting next to a pile of corpses would not feel anything.

It's a different story than in a VR training system, where mutants and goblins aren't as dull as their procedural simulations, they're as cunning as monkeys in a zoo, but they're more murderous and cruel than a hyena that has been hungry for three days.

A small mistake could have killed them, and in fact if it weren't for the biomimetic prostheses and inserts implanted in his body, he would have died countless times.

Gan Te Niang's council, it turns out that the outside world is already like this.

And how did the wastelanders survive outside of Ideal City?

Tang Feng felt that the helmet was sticky and drowning with sweat, but he didn't dare to take it off.

Only now did he realize how well their superiors had protected them.

At this moment, there was a movement at the foot of the mountain to the south, and when he heard the order to summon, he immediately grabbed his rifle and got up, and followed the group of small team members towards the assembly there.

"...... What is that? A faint panic appeared in the eyes of a soldier, and he saw hideous-looking monsters crawling out of the dense fog in the distance.

The most common of these is a human-like spider-like monster with four hands.

Others have human forms, but they are like "zombies" in the Skull Studios game, staggering forward.

The captain gestured, and the group raised their rifles and aimed at the monsters.

And just then, a shout was heard from the thick fog.

"Don't shoot, it's your own people!"

Just as the voice fell, a group of soldiers wearing exoskeletons followed closely behind and emerged from the fog.

The "Type 5" exoskeleton and LD-47 rifle are all too familiar to these young men who signed up for the army after playing two chickens.

It's the brother of the Death Corps!

The group pressed down their guns and looked at the monsters that came out of the fog, and there was still a hint of obvious doubt in everyone's eyes.

After looking at the monsters, Tang Feng looked at the man in the lead, and asked in a strange tone.

“…… Own? ”

Edge paddled and nodded, explaining.

"The brood on the Blood Mountain has been assimilated by us, and these are the fruiting bodies of Xiao Yu. We're going to use it to disperse the kingdom of heaven here...... That is, the spore cloud formed by the hyphae of those fruits. ”

Not only Tang Feng, but all the soldiers around him had stunned expressions on their faces after hearing this.

"Can this be done?"

The edge paddled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Gotta give it a try."

Exploring ways to solve the problem of straelus mold variants, for which the slime mold research community itself exists.

At this time, the captain who had asked his superiors for instructions finally got a reply from his superiors, walked to the edge of the paddling, and said with a serious expression.

"We'll help you get through this position as soon as possible, please come with me!"

With that, he gestured to his teammates behind him.

"Release!"

Edge Paddle looked behind him and nodded, and then led several intelligence players in the corps to follow behind the soldiers of the enterprise and walked towards the sheep intestine path through Broken Blade Mountain.

At the same time, the mountains and fields of "babbling" continue to reverberate among the fruiting entities, with the intelligence players carrying neural connectors, biological prosthetics, and communication stations as "node creatures", transmitting unified information and instructions.

At this moment, on the position of Broken Blade Mountain, the young men of a group of enterprises looked at the fruiting body like a vast ocean, with stunned and surprised expressions on their faces.

Thousand...... No, maybe 10,000!

It's not just the sheer number that is staggering, it's the fact that the brood was able to hatch in such a short period of time.

One soldier couldn't help but swallow.

"Is this the wave?"

Another soldier whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Eighty percent...... More exaggerated than that. ”

I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard that Skull Studios' latest Zombie Apocalypse was inspired by it.

He played the test demo, and the outrageous difficulty and almost suffocating fear of death made people can't help but adrenaline rush, throwing off those "soft" sandbox games on the endpoint cloud for an unknown number of streets.

"Mommy......"

"I've been fighting this thing for 200 years...... It's a bunch of ruthless people. ”

Although they knew that a single shell could clear a large part of this thing, they still couldn't stop them from feeling shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially when I think of the terrain of Qingquan City, the brothers of the alliance are all fighting against these guys on the ruins of the city where the artillery fire is not easy to deploy, and the shock piled up in my heart is even stronger......

At the same time, on the peaks of Black Cloud Mountain, the Willants, who had just finished dealing with the sudden attack of mutants and goblins, also looked at the group of fruiting entities that were passing through the winding mountain road.

There were expressions of surprise written on all faces.

Unlike the rice buckets in Ideal City, they are no strangers to slime molds.

This thing is the four evils of the wasteland, along with xenos, marauders, and mutants.

Although the legion has conquered a vast territory, there is not much that can be done about the brood within the territory.

However, the alliance of provinces, which is no more than a province, has not only conquered this thing, but even tamed it?!

It's incredible.

"The gray fog is showing signs of abating......" looked at the mighty cluster of fruiting bodies, and the adjutant standing next to General Modlin had an excited expression on his face.

General Modrin didn't speak, just stared at the side with a frown, and said succinctly.

"It's not like a weakening, if you look closely, there's a clear dividing line between fog and fog."

The alliance shared the relevant research results at the adhesion meeting, that is, when they traced the origin of Naguo, they found that the original type B strain produced in Baiyue Province had a significant inhibitory effect on the J strain improved by the Torch Church.

At present, the principle of this inhibition is not clear, and the brood survey in Baiyue Province has only just begun, and many theories are still being explored. However, even if they do not know the principle, it does not prevent them from using the research results first.

If nothing else, the fruiting bodies should have been inoculated with type B strains, or simply inserted similar gene fragments into the spore-secreting organs.

He was only an officer, not a professional biologist, and could only make general inferences.

However, what surprised him was not the alliance's biotechnology, but that they actually "eaten" the brood on the blood mountain.

In the words of the Alliance, it is called "assimilation".

This was probably the closest they had been to the Alliance's top secret, but unfortunately they were still too far away to see their assimilation.

A hint of remorse flashed across General Modrin's face, but he quickly came back to his senses, and a little realization appeared in his eyes.

“…… I finally know now why the academy, which usually likes to hide in the back, suddenly insisted that he take on the task of attacking the blood mountain this time. ”

Of all the peaks of the Ten Peaks Mountain, the highest peak, the Blood Mountain, is undoubtedly the most dangerous one.

Thankless work, they never do.

The adjutant looked at him in surprise.

“…… You mean, they knew from the beginning that there was a mutant slime nest there?. ”

"I remember that it wasn't the Alliance that first set its sights on the Torch Church, but the Academy...... This brood existed two hundred years ago, and they got the relevant information in the era of the War Construction Committee. ”

After a pause, General Modlin added a sentence with an indifferent expression.

"Of course, this is just my speculation."

……

A gray-green torrent followed the winding mountain road, in the direction of the Weifu military base in the thick foggy night.

Wherever they passed, the gray-green mist rolled as if it were boiling, and the gray-green hyphae that had emerged from the soil were slumping down as if they were withering.

The "kingdom of heaven" seems to have been contained.

And it is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The rat people who had been corrupted by Nago all looked at them blankly, allowing the ominous mist to envelop them without the slightest movement.

And the dead that emerged from the soil flowed a trace of fear from the disembodied pupils.

These awakened dead do not possess a full body of consciousness, they are merely puppets driven by the mycelium of Nago.

It is precisely because of this that their emotions are also the projection of the fear of the countless nago mycelium.

"Hiss......"

The corpses let out a hoarse cry, as if to intimidate the people who gathered around them.

However, the creepers and gnawers paid no attention to their intimidation, and instead focused on them because of their movements.

The desire to eat was released from those amber eyes, and instead of stopping, the creepers quickened their pace, babbling excitedly at the corpses.

The two twisted torrents collided in an instant, and in the face of those battle-hardened fruiting entities in Qingquan City, these dead bodies that had been corroded by Naguo were not vulnerable at all.

In particular, under the influence of the spores released by the B-type strain, the mycelium of Nago that eroded the land is withering at a rate visible to the naked eye and eventually dying out.

The situation on the battlefield seemed to have reversed in an instant, and the south side of the Weifu military base was completely under the control of Xiao Yu's fruiting army, and there was also a steady stream of fruiting bodies coming from the rear, pushing the battle line to spread to the east and west wings of the military base.

"Well done!"

Luo Yu, who was sitting on the Thunder Fighter, caught a glimpse of the battle situation on the ground by the light of the flare, and shouted excitedly.

"Hmmm! (Thanks for the compliment!) ）”

An affectionate response came from the communication channel, and it sounded like it was trying to say, "Please praise me a few more words."

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

Cooper, flapping his wings, looked at the southern part of the battlefield in astonishment, a hint of disbelief rising on his hideous face.

The kingdom of heaven is crumbling!

How is this possible!

He was only an apostle, and although he had assisted the precursors codenamed "Emperor of Man" in some research work, the content of his work did not touch the core of the kingdom of heaven, and only contained or captured the materials needed for the experiment.

Because of this, he was completely unable to comprehend what was happening in front of him.

At this moment, a sigh came from his ears, and it was the voice of the Human Emperor.

“…… Although I expected that things would develop beyond our expectations, I didn't expect that guy to not say half a year, not even a month. ”

The Mountain of Blood has fallen.

The brood there also fell.

They could now conclude that the Alliance must have mastered some kind of technology capable of assimilating the brood, and thus implanted the gene fragment of the original strain of Baiyue Xing Province Naguo on the brood of the blood mountain.

This is indeed an idea that they did not envision.

Originally, in their assumption, the alliance would most likely take another technical route, that is, to use gene cutting technology to improve the original strain of Naguo into a variety that can be grown outside of Baiyue Province.

This is the safest thing to do, and it's the first thing that most people will think of.

But if the Alliance did, it would have played into their hands.

Because those fellows will soon find out that they have only retraced the path the torch has taken, and have since entered a labyrinth with no exit.

But now it seems that they have bypassed this labyrinth, directly using the fruiting body of slime mold as a petri dish, playing the trick of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Even I have to admit that these people's brains are really big.

Hearing the voice of his own boss, Cooper who was flying in the air asked respectfully.

"Precursor, what are we going to do?"

The Human Emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Retreat, there is no point in retreating, it is better to save some strength to prepare for later."

The Beastmaster has three cards in his hand, one is the brood of the Blood Mountain, one is a mutant, and one is the Heavenly Kingdom buried in the Ten Peaks Mountain and the Weifu Wasteland.

The first two cards have already been torn off, and it is only a matter of time before the latter card is torn off.

Just relying on the 10,000 batwing people in his own hands to gnaw down the hard bone of the Weifu military base, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

It's much better to put these guys in the mountains between Geumcheon Province and Haiya Province to fight guerrilla attacks than to let them be sent away here as cannon fodder.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Cooper's eyes.

"The 'Beastmaster' ......"

The Human Emperor said without hesitation.

"He's already lost, and even if we help him, it won't help, he'll have to pay for his arrogance—"

Before his words fell, he suddenly stopped, as if he had been forcibly replaced by a remote control.

Cooper was stunned when an embarrassed voice suddenly hastily connected to his sea of consciousness, seemingly coming from the set of biological power armor on his body.

"Give me control of your body...... Lend me a little and pay you back when I'm done. The Beastmaster's voice was a hint of embarrassment, and a hint of exhaustion.

The Bloodhoof Clan is gone.

Not only that, but also his elaborate masterpieces.

Although there are some mutant minions with torch chips installed on their bodies, those guys can't make the climate at all, and can be used as eyes at most.

His control over the mortal world had never been so declining that even his colleagues no longer listened to him.

Luckily, he still had one last hole card left.

His chips are still on the biologically powered armor he made.

Although this apostle named Cooper was a subordinate of the Human Emperor, the bio-powered armor he wore was made by himself.

“…… Wait, what did you guys do!? Let go of me! Cooper said with a hint of horror as he found himself losing control of his body and watching himself fall down.

It was as if the body no longer belonged to him, but was controlled by another person.

And that guy is like a madman, he is not satisfied with taking control of his own body, and he is also bewitching other mutants wearing bio-powered armor.

As if he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, the Beastmaster didn't pay any attention to this guy who was impotent and roaring in the Sanctuary, and controlled his body and swooped straight in the direction of the military base.

"Attack!"

"Rush forward!"

"With your fangs, with your claws, cut open the chests of those humans! Adorn the land with their flesh and intestines, and make them regret coming here! ”

He shouted loudly in the communication channel while giving orders to all the batwingmen to attack via the telepathic intervention module.

Under the influence of the telepathic interference ripples, the batwingmen instantly fell into a frenzy, letting out a piercing scream, and rushed desperately towards the nearest enemy.

Looking at the purgatory-like ground battlefield, Kubo, who was dominated by the Beastmaster, had a cruel smile on his face.

He's not going anywhere, and there's nowhere to go. His colleagues wanted to abandon him, but he wasn't going to sit there and wait for him to die.

This is his parish!

Always!

Since the fall of Heaven was inevitable, there was only one thing he could do.

That is to gamble everything to launch the final blow while the kingdom of heaven has not yet collapsed.

As long as he can dismantle the chain of command of the coalition forces, he will have a chance to make a comeback!

That's right-

The managers of the alliance seem to be here too!

Just get rid of that guy and everything will be fine!

At some point, he had forgotten the ideal he had vowed to accomplish.

But that kind of thing didn't matter in the first place.

He has lost everything, and will even lose the kingdom of heaven that he has completed.

He must not let that happen!

If the new world doesn't have his name, then what's the point of him wanting that new world?

The Torch's plan doesn't matter anymore, he just wants these guys who have ruined his good deeds to die now!

Everybody has to die!

On the other side, the military base of the Guard, a temporary research institute where researchers from the Alliance and the Enterprise are stationed.

Kakarot, who had gathered near the research institute, looked at the batwing men in the sky who had suddenly gone berserk, and exclaimed in surprise.

"it...... Are these guys drugged?! ”

Just half a minute ago, these guys were still maintaining a steady offensive rhythm, and all of a sudden, like crazy, rushed up.

“…… But the side also shows that they have exhausted their donkey skills and can't come up with new tricks. ”

The commander of the spring water wiped the blood stains on his helmet, replaced the magazine of the 20mm "riding gun" in his hand, and continued to fire at the galloping target.

And not far from them, the Hound Special Forces had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and it seemed that they could not withstand the increasingly ferocious offensive, and there were already faint signs of collapse.

The officers of the empire seem to be over there, too,

I don't know why those guys are here, but if they're running for their lives, they're obviously in the wrong place.

The Torch Church seems to have sensed something, and the onslaught against the makeshift research institute has intensified.

For a moment, the Commander of the Springs couldn't tell whether the batwings were attracted by the managers or the researchers here.

Or maybe they simply sensed through their intuition during the battle that the coalition forces were investing in an extraordinary defensive force here, and judged that there were high-value strategic objectives here.

But that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.

Since the opponent has already used all their strength, they only need to defeat it with all their might.

All the hole cards have been revealed, the chips of both sides have been pushed to the table, and there is no competition of skills at this moment, it is purely a collision of hard power.

Whoever has more strength will be able to press their wrist on the table!

Ten Punchers drove a semi-open-top truck to the vicinity of the makeshift research institute, and the quadruple anti-aircraft cannon dragged on the back of the truck quickly raised its head.

This quadruple anti-aircraft gun was dismantled from the anti-aircraft position on the south side of the base, and there is no need for this thing there, but it can just solve the urgent need here!

Under the control of an agile player, the four cannon barrels vented their thumping fury towards the sky, and the tracer light weaved into an impenetrable net!

There is no need to aim at all.

The winged guys rushed up in a swarm.

In a short period of time, the open space in front of the field research institute was sprinkled with stumps, severed arms, and flesh and blood, and a dense rain of blood floated in the air.

The arrival of the anti-aircraft vehicle greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers near the research institute, and the originally precarious situation of the battle was reversed again.

However, at this moment, the accident happened again.

A piece of bio-powered armor suddenly fell from the sky and slammed into the outer wall of the research institute, knocking a hole in the concrete wall.

The two guards who crouched at the window and shot were killed instantly, and the rest of the people were also embarrassed by the rubble and retreated, thinking that they had been shelled.

It wasn't until the dust cleared that they saw something break in.

Without hesitation, the two guards immediately set up their rifles and opened fire.

However, the monster's movements were too fast for them to see, and the muzzle of the gun had barely been raised, when a barbed tail was drawn against the breastplate of the exoskeleton.

The bulletproof lining shattered instantly, and the two of them flew out like a baseball hit by a baseball bat, spitting blood from their mouths, and fell heavily on the wall unconscious.

There was a moment of surprise on the faces of the remaining six guards, but it was only for a moment.

All of them were the most loyal warriors of the Alliance, and they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the Administrator, and none of them backed down, and all of them pulled the trigger in the face of the monster as if they were dead.

Sudden eruptions of gunfire weaved a rain of orange-red bullets in the hallway.

However, the monster armed to the teeth by biological power armor acted as if nothing happened, and it just fought through the rain of bullets towards the safe passage staircase on the side of the corridor.

His nose could smell the rich breath of life, it was a "smell" that made him tremble with excitement, and he wanted to rush in front of the guy right now and pull the guy out of the blue power armor.

Not only that, but the unknown disturbances perceived by the Psychic Intervention Module and the determination of the coalition forces to defend this position convinced him of this-

The Supreme Commander of the Coalition and the Administrator of the Alliance are here!

Luckily, eighty percent of those who got in the way are still in the caves of the Blood Mountain.

And this time—

No one will stop you anymore!

"I know you're here! Hahahaha! I can't think of it, I'm coming for you! ”

It laughed wildly, roared, and killed both of them in an instant with its claws, and the other four were all swept away by his furious attack, slamming into the ground, slamming into a wall, or throwing out of the window.

Like a mad beast, it wagged its python-like tail, recklessly wrecklessly destroying everything in its sight, sweeping through one floor with a thunderous force, and then rushing down the stairs to the lower floor.

Suddenly, the flames of war burned into the institute.

This momentary change was unexpected.

The researchers who had taken refuge in the basement looked at the footage on camera, their faces horrified.

Whether it's from the Alliance, or from Cloud University in Ideal City, this kind of monster they've only seen in zoos.

Nope-

The xenomorphs in the zoo don't have such destructive power, and even the claws of death may have to bow down.

Heya's face turned slightly pale, and she swallowed involuntarily.

Although Qingquan City is not very safe, the friends of Vault 404 have always protected her well.

It was the first time since she left Vault 117 that she had been so close to danger......

Standing at the edge of the crowd, Lu Bei glanced hurriedly to his side, and was about to evacuate from here with the manager, but suddenly found that the manager was gone.

And at this moment, the rampaging biological power armor in the surveillance screen suddenly flew out with a howl as if it had been hit by a train.

The raging currents blew away the dust, revealing the figure standing at the end of the hallway.

Struggling to get up from the ground, the Beastmaster shook his ugly head and looked at the end of the hallway, trying to figure out what the hell he had just run into it.

However, the moment he saw the guy clearly, his dark green pupils suddenly tightened.

Blue Power Armor......

You can't go wrong!

That's what Severn Villard has worn, Mr. Steward's relics.

"You're looking for me?"

Carrying the nitrogen power hammer in his hand, Chu Guang looked at the guy in front of him expressionlessly.

"Hahahaha!" After staring at him for half a second, the Beastmaster suddenly burst out laughing.

There was a hint of madness on his hideous expression, like a madman who loses everything at the table.

It's been more than 20 years......

Is it 23 years or 24 years?

They had been away from the Vault for too long, only remembering that it was in the year 190 of the Wasteland Era, when the inhabitants of Vault 117 were divided into the Grave Keepers and the Torchbearers.

And after leaving the vault, so much happened that the little feud between the Tomb Keeper and the Torch was not worth mentioning at all, so that he could barely remember the stubborn old man.

If you think about it, the old man wasn't that bad, just a little stubborn.

From Boulder City to the Death Coast, they've seen a lot of man-eating things along the way. Compared to those guys, their managers are good husbands......

“…… That's right, I'm looking for you, I'm looking for you so hard, Dear Mr. Manager. ”

With a wicked grin on his lips, he curled up his long, sharp claws, and the tail behind him cocked up like a rattlesnake in an offensive stance.

Then, he said slowly.

"You shouldn't be wearing this power armor...... The last person to wear this thing lost to us twenty-three years ago. ”

Chu Guang didn't care, just looked at this monster with an expressionless face.

"You're talking a bit too much nonsense."

Before he could finish his words, the monster suddenly ran towards him like an arrow off the string.

The nonsense was deliberately distracting him, in order to make him reveal the flaws of this moment.

The explosive feet even smashed the floor tiles of the hallway, and the sound of the sprint shook the unshattered windows, like a hurricane sweeping by.

This set of biological power armor is the crystallization of his lifelong learning, and the terrifying destructive power is the most outstanding work of his life!

Even a nitrogen shield would never be able to block a blow comparable to an electromagnetic cannon!

"Go back to hell!!"

An excited roar surged out of his throat, but the whistling claws reached Chu Guang's face faster than his roar.

And yet—

Before he could cheer for victory, let alone bathe in the blood of his enemies, a cannonball-like kinetic energy slammed into his face, squeezing his ugly features into his skull.

The terrifying power seemed to penetrate his spirit, causing his consciousness to appear in a trance for a moment, and he almost flew out of the snatched body.

However, his body quickly caught up with his out-of-body soul, and he flew backwards in the air, slamming into the ground.

The Beastmaster was stunned.

He could clearly see that the nitrogen hammer was still standing on the ground, and it had not been moved at all.

Not only was he stunned, but so was Cooper, who was led by his nose to this place.

However, the latter could clearly see that it was not the hammer that struck him in the face at all, but an iron cannon-like fist.

And that's not all—

At the man's feet, the floor tiles of the corridor were crawling with cobweb-like cracks, and large areas of concrete were shattered inch by inch, and the entire corridor felt as if it had been bombarded by cannonballs.

This guy is a monster!

In despair, Cooper desperately fought with the Beastmaster for control of his body, trying to escape from here.

This kind of one-on-one duel has no chance of winning at all! It's going to take at least five or more to hold this guy down!

There is no difference between fighting like this and sending them to death!

He's not one of those old things hiding in the Sanctuary, that guy can't die, he only has this one life!

Looking at the dying monster that fell to the ground, Chu Guang gently shook the fist in his right hand.

This thing is still engaged in sneak attacks?

It's true that I don't talk about martial arts.

But he doesn't just use a hammer, his fists can also beat people.

“…… After listening to all your nonsense, I probably know who you are. That 'Beastmaster' hiding in the Sanctuary, right? ”

The beastmaster who was prostrate on the ground stared at him deadly, a trace of white mist leaking from his mouth, and a fierce light flashed in his dark green eyes.

Apparently this guy is still not convinced, and is still waiting for the opportunity to launch the next attack.

But that's fine.

Even if this guy begged for mercy, he had no reason to let it go.

Glancing at the inch-inch pit imprinted on the steel finger bone, Chu Guang glanced at the so-called beast king with an indifferent expression.

"That's it?"
