Chapter 965: Twisted!

"What's that? I'll leave it to me again?! ”

Luo Yu, who was sitting on the Thunder Fighter, looked confused, glanced sideways at the edifice wrapped in scarlet substance, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

That thing must be a fungus blanket, right?

How did the legion use such a rebellious thing as the mutant slime mold on the battlefield!

Apparently the consensus of the adhesion community is being treated like toilet paper by them.

Or like the Southern Legion's interpretation of that ancient pact - it was signed by Julius, and they weren't there.

"Xiao Yu...... Will your abilities be useful for that thing? ”

"Hmmm!" (You can try)

"Row ......"

Luo Yu took a deep breath, and while holding the joystick, he slammed his left foot to reverse the course, aimed the cannon at the edifice that was being devoured by the unspeakable, and then pressed the fire button with his thumb.

"Porphyry——!

With a short roar, thousands of 20mm aviation cannons were poured out in an instant!

In the face of the sudden burst of fire, the scarlet vines climbing towards the roof of the building were blown apart, and they stopped climbing upwards for a while.

The scarlet flesh quickly spotted where the attack was coming from, and the tentacles that were ready to shoot into the sky like cannonballs shot towards the thunder fighter!

Taking advantage of the moment when the hatred was full of the car, the corners of Luo Yu's mouth curled up with a smile of success, and his right hand held the pull ring under the seat, and lifted it fiercely.

With a few short pops, he flew out of the exploded cockpit along with his seat.

At the same time, his car continued to crash into the brood that was trying to swallow the edifice in one gulp!

Of course, the brood couldn't have allowed this lump of iron to hit its own skull.

Without any accidents, tentacles wrapped around the Thunder Fighter like a blocking net.

However, the brood wouldn't know that the cockpit of this Thunder Fighter was already full of fruiting bodies of Xiao Yu!

Those fruiting entities are like his doppelgangers, with almost all of his piloting experience, and can even generate a mimic "him" in the cockpit!

Thanks to this special ability, even if he is out of the cockpit and hung on a parachute, he can still control the plane remotely through the communication channel to continue flying.

Of course, he didn't have to do it when he successfully approached the brood.

That Thunder Fighter, full of fruiting entities, is his Trojan Horse!

"Please, Xiao Yu!"

Luo Yu, who was hanging on the parachute, stared intently at the plane that was entangled in tentacles, and silently cheered for Xiao Yu in his heart.

However, at this moment, a sudden sound of "Bah! ”。

(It's kind of weird, it doesn't seem to be a brood!) )

Not a brood?

Luo Yu was stunned, staring in disbelief at the boiling blanket in the distance.

What else could that be?

In the moment he was stunned, his car was already crumpled into a ball by the tangled tentacles like a can.

The flames of the explosion burst out, and the detonated battery shattered the tentacles that wrapped around the fighter, but the sporadic firelight soon disappeared into the night breeze in the night sky.

Falling Feather hanging in the air was completely dumbfounded, especially when he saw the tentacles turn around and kill him.

This guy isn't a brood?!

"Blanching ——!"

……

At the mansion, not far from the "Tower of the World", the Chief of the General Staff of the Southern Corps, Augustus, and his wife made a final supper for the children from leftover cans.

It's just sardines, ground meat, butter oysters and the like, but the can is labeled with a special offering.

Dripped the prepared cyanide into the children's vegetable juice and his own and lover's red wine, and he carefully tied the napkin to his chest with a trembling index finger as a final measure of decency.

After making all the preparations, he looked at the children with ignorant and curious faces, endured the pain in his heart, cleared his throat, and slowly spoke in a solemn and low voice, as if he was speaking at a meeting of 10,000 people.

"Let's toast to the honorable Marshal Julius, to the invincible legion, to the honor of the Willantes......"

It's all going to end tonight.

With that, he raised his glass and touched it lightly with his wife. The children raised their glasses, babbled and shouted "Cheers", then giggled and picked up the delicious vegetable juice and drank it.

There was no pain in the process.

This is perhaps the greatest mercy for these young beings, who do not have to bear sin for a long life...... However, perhaps this tragic fate does not actually exist, just like the crazy ambition that was only imposed on them by their parents.

Looking at the children lying on the table asleep, a trace of pain flashed on the wife's face, but in the end she tried to restore her calm appearance, and then raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass, and lay on the table with a "bang" and did not wake up.

Finally relieved.

She didn't want to stay in this world for a moment.

Watching his family die in front of him one after another, Augustus's emotions could no longer be suppressed, the expression on his face was distorted by pain, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably.

"I Hurt You......"

It would have been nice to stop Tyre at that time......

If he had done anything at the time, perhaps the family would have been vacationing on the beach in the province of Batorya.

But it's too late to regret it now.

The victory at Saisail had left too many people so carried away that both young and old officers had no doubt that the business was no longer in its hands capable of maintaining the ancient contract, especially the Borneo who stood in their way.

Augustus brought the glass to his lips, ready to drink it all and end all the pain.

However, at this moment, there was a deafening roar and a low roar outside the window.

He was stunned for a moment, walked to the window and opened the curtains, only to see the landmark of the city of Avent, the alloy edifice made of metal, which was now wrapped in a mass of flesh-red unknown substance.

The thing was as if it were alive, twisting in the night-shrouded light, and letting out an unwilling and ugly cry towards the sky.

"Woo——!"

It roared again, and every cell in its body seemed to ripple, rolling like rolling waves.

Augustus's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief and bewilderment.

He had just returned from that building......

If nothing else, the honorable Commander of Tyre should be there, and on the 68th floor.

"Tyre...... Excellency? ”

He was dazed as he saw several fighter jets flying through the air.

The Coalition seemed to notice the anomaly in the building, as vertiplanes spraying plasma plumes broke through the anti-aircraft fire blockade at low altitude and were rapidly approaching the "Tower of the World" building.

“…… What's that? ”

That ugly monster......

He knew that the building contained some doomsday weapons, but he didn't know that Tyr still had this ugly hole card in his hand.

It can no longer be called a human posture, like a pustule squeezed out of the surface.

Augustus took two steps backwards in despair, finally closing his eyes in despair, and then closing the curtains.

Julius on the ......

What the hell did they do?!

Whether it was Tyr, himself, or the captains who supported him......

Do you have to turn the Willantes from humans into cockroaches?

He drank the wine from his glass and fell limp to his knees at the table.

Looking at his dead lover and children, he finally woke up at the last moment of his life and woke up from that nightmare.

He repented with the little time he had left.

"Woo...... Please forgive your child, Marshal Julius...... It was we who failed you. ”

"It's us...... Southern Corps ...... Not worthy of the ...... of the Willant."

……

"Woo——!"

A low, long roar shattered the clouds, like the murmur of a deep-sea whale.

Hearing that deafening sound, the Southern legionnaires who were fighting on the front line all stopped fighting and looked back at the rolling mass of flesh behind them.

The ugliness is vividly interpreted at this moment, as well as the indescribable distortion and chaos.

A stunned expression appeared on one face after another.

They couldn't believe that it was behind them, their hometown, their place of war......

There was such a twisted beast growing.

"Demonic ......"

The panic of shaking was imprinted on a pair of shaking pupils, and the veteran soldier who had been in a hundred battles unconsciously took a step back, and the belief that he had fought until the last moment was finally shaken.

Why the hell did he fight until now?

Or is it ......

That's what they are.

Suddenly awakened, his back was soaked in cold sweat, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

And in another trench not far from him, the recruits, who had only received less than half a month of military training, also had stunned expressions written on their faces.

"...... What's that?! ”

"Coalition bioweapons?!"

The flesh-red tentacles were still extending upward, like vines climbing into the sky.

The grayish-yellow mist spread to the surroundings, like a canopy that suddenly blooms.

And it's not just that, it's not just that, its roots are spreading around.

The entangled tentacles rolled down the street like a waterfall, indiscriminately harvesting every life it targeted, whether it was a human, a mouse, or a cockroach.

Destroy—

Inferior races.

The rolling cloud of spores let out a silent moan, blending anger with the silent killing.

The soldiers retreated in fear, or fired futile with their rifles, trying to stop the tide of tentacles.

That...... It should be the mother nest of the mutant slime mold?!

But why is it here!?

The terrifying existence was beyond the cognition and understanding of the soldiers present.

Although there are also scattered mutant slime nests in the province of Batoya controlled by the Southern Legion and around the Great Desert, they are mostly scattered in the inaccessible pre-war ruins and wilderness.

In a trance, a scarlet tentacle struck a soldier head-on, and in the latter's miserable howl, it was lifted more than ten meters into the air, and then it was slashed in two with a heavy blow, turning into a rain of minced flesh and blood!

The soldiers crouching behind the bunkers were dumbfounded, not knowing how to fight this horrible thing.

And just as the wave was about to sweep around them, a Chimera armored car suddenly came out from the side.

The soldiers retreated to their bunkers and listened to the thumping of the 37mm cannon overhead.

However, the deadly armor-piercing incendiary grenade did not fall into their bunker.

A recruit tremblingly took out the Iron Fist Bazooka, pulled out the safety bolt and prepared to attack, but was stopped by the commander next to him.

I saw that on the street in the distance, a thick tracer light shot at the sweeping tentacles, and for a while it forced back the surging tide, so that the scarlet tentacles did not dare to approach.

At this moment, a deafening roar rushed through the loudspeaker above the heads of the Southern Legionnaires.

"What are you waiting for! This thing slaughters your fellow citizens! Do you want your opponents to teach you how to shoot? ”

Everyone woke up from a dream, including the centurion who had his hand on the bazooka.

I don't know what the scarlet tentacles and the pieces of flesh that wrap around the Tower of the World are all about, but at least one thing can't be wrong—

That guy feeds on the flesh and blood of the Willants!

"Attention units! Temporary truce! Turn your guns on that monster! ”

The centurions scattered in the ruins regained their morale, and they regrouped after being scattered.

"Whoa!!"

The same scene is playing out in the streets around the city of Avent.

Although the battle between the Southern Legion and the Alliance is not over, due to that unspeakable demon, some units have already turned their guns and tacitly agreed to deal with the common enemy first......

At the same time, in the distant Great Rift Valley, the chief sitting in the conference room let out a faint sigh.

"History repeats itself again......"

The events of two hundred years ago can be summed up in the same way, and the two sides who killed the red eye coincidentally pressed the button to destroy the world.

The only thing to be thankful for is that at least this time it's no longer a downward spiral.

Probably......

……

The front line of the city of Avent.

Captain Baldwin, who was directing the battle, stared at the edifice known as the "Tower of the World" with wide eyes in dismay.

Is that......

What is it?

There are more and more things that cannot be understood, and maybe he should have reacted from the beginning of the "death dose" plan, Tyr is a complete lunatic, and that guy's ambition will kill everyone!

Reports from the rear kept coming from the phone that the logistics troops stationed near the city of Avent had suffered heavy losses!

At this time, his adjutant trotted over from the side, and before he had time to salute, he was sweating profusely.

"Sir, the Alliance's air power is advancing towards our rear!"

A hint of struggle flashed in Baldwin's eyes, and after two seconds, he finally made up his mind.

"Let them go!"

The adjutant looked at him in amazement.

"But—"

Baldwin stared into his eyes and said in a tone that could not be denied.

"Do as I say!"

Seeing that it didn't look like a joke, the adjutant held his breath, but finally gritted his teeth and gave a military salute, turned around and left.

Watching his lieutenant leave, Baldwin looked at the battle map to the side, and finally all his emotions turned into a long sigh.

Already lost......

Maybe he should have realized sooner, but it's too late to tell.

At the very least, he had to stop the swelling monster.

Otherwise, not only the glory of Marshal Julius and the accumulation of the Southern Army over the centuries would have been reduced to ruins under its sprinkling, but the entire city of Willant would have to be buried with him.

At the same time as the order was given, Baldwin called the captain of the nearby steel airship and reported the situation on the ground to them.

"Unknown organic life forms that have spread from the Tower of the World are indiscriminately attacking our fellow citizens! Including our soldiers, our civilians! We must stop the exchange of fire immediately! It's not too late! ”

Some simply hung up on him, some angrily denounced him as a traitor, but others listened and expressed disbelief at what he said, wondering if it might be a conspiracy of the Alliance.

It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But for an alliance that is about to win, the use of sensitive biological weapons is a risky and unprofitable affair.

Thinking of Tyr, who did everything he could, it seemed that there was no need to speculate about the cause and effect of the matter.

There is no doubt that -

That's what kind of "trick" that doesn't follow the routine.

And as before, Tyr screwed things up as always and let everything go out of hand.

Some captains tried to contact their superiors, but their superiors were in a mess at the moment.

Not only did the Commander of the Tyre lose news, but even their Chief of General Staff, Augustus, had disappeared.

The chain of command of the Southern Corps was in disarray, and some people finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Three of the remaining eight steel airships flew the white flag, and soon the number was reduced to five, and even two of them, on Baldwin's orders, simply turned their guns and aimed their 100mm guns at the "brood" that was raging and spreading.

This behavior also completely angered the monster, which had been restrained completely, and brought the airships hovering low into the range of the attack, forcing them to put away their anchor chains and move away from the World Tower.

The coalition air defense forces did not fire at the airships, even though the phase guns on the outskirts trains were already aimed at them.

Now it's imperative to get rid of that rampaging unknown lifeform!

At the same time, on the Viper transport plane hovering in the center of Avant City, quitting smoking with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lao Bai who was sitting on the side, and hurriedly said.

"Luo Yu just posted on the forum...... He said it wasn't a brood! ”

Lao Bai was stunned for a moment.

"Not a brood?! What else could it be? ”

Quit shook his head and said quickly.

"I don't know...... He only said that it was not a brood, not a mutant slime mold, and Xiao Yu couldn't figure out what it was, a bit like a fruiting entity with independent consciousness...... Gan, anyway, what he said was a mess! Said that only by destroying the brain hidden in this lump of defense can there be a way to devour it! ”

Lao Bai stared at him seriously.

"So there's still a way to devour it?"

Quit smoking swallowed and nodded hurriedly.

"Half half probability...... It is said that Xiao Yu said it. ”

"Anyway, one thing is for sure, it's something none of us have ever seen."

The murderous dagger looked solemn and cursed in his mouth.

"...... You'll have to get the data from the Tower of the World to figure out what the hell this is. ”

Get the data from the Tower of the World......

Quit smoking glanced at the building outside the cabin wrapped in a flesh-red fungus blanket, and only felt a tingling in the scalp.

"How the hell is this thing going to get in?"

"Have you figured out what the hell you've done? This thing has too many hands! I can't stop it! "The [Kidney Fighter], crouching on the edge of the cabin, held the 40mm airborne grenade launcher with both hands, and fired at the tentacles that poked at the transport plane.

In the face of the high-explosive grenade with a metal hydrogen charge, the thick tentacles were blown up one after another, but they still couldn't stand the huge number of brains pouring up!

The pilots dodged left and right with their superb piloting skills, but it was not a long-term solution after all.

The thoughts in Lao Bai's mind were spinning fast.

At this moment, Fang Chang's voice suddenly came from the communication channel.

"The 2,000,000th Legion of the Southern Army has surrendered, Lao Bai, can you hear it here?"

Lao Bai said with a grin.

"Can you hear me, they surrendered? That is, our ground forces can get in? ”

Fang Chang said in a serious tone.

"That's what it means, but you've also seen the situation on the front line, it's almost impossible to push the ground forces all the way, and even if it succeeds, the casualties will be too great-"

Lao Bai: "Don't talk about calves, you hurry up, just say what to do!" ”

Hearing Lao Bai's urging voice, Fang Chang said without hesitation.

"Just like when I was in Qingquan City, jump in and them!"

Lao Bai was stunned.

"Jump...... Go down? ”

Fang Chang didn't explain, and only continued in a categorical tone.

"According to the information provided by Captain Baldwin, Tyre should ...... No, he's on the 68th floor. ”

At the same time as his words fell, a white pillar of smoke suddenly crossed the sky above the city of Avent, and hit the waist of the "Tower of the World" impartially!

That's an anti-ship cruise missile launched from the cruiser "Harpoon" of the South Sea Alliance!

The flickering white light burned through the scarlet fungus blanket and the alloy wall beneath the fungus blanket in an instant, and a deafening explosion blew into the clouds along with the spreading shockwave!

The tentacle-wielding "demon" let out a painful scream, and the wound from the cruise missile was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time that the missile hit, Fang Chang's voice also came from the communication channel.

"It's now! Fast! ”

There was no time to hesitate, Lao Bai reached out and grabbed the seat on the pilot's back and yelled at the front.

"Lean towards the center of the explosion! Fast! ”

The pilot, though nervous, gritted his teeth and complied, dodging the speeding tentacles and using the smoke of the explosion to rush to the vicinity of the missile's hit.

Crimson tentacles had covered the wound, and the monster was consciously moving the metal from the building to plug the gaps.

Of course, the Kidney Fighter who was squatting on the edge of the cabin would not give it a chance, and howled "Whoop", added a buff to the grenade launcher in his hand, and then hit it with a shuttle of high-explosive shells, piercing the tentacles apart!

Shocking wounds were exposed, along with the uneroded structure inside the Tower of the World!

"Woo——!"

The howl of pain rang out again, and the glass of the cockpit trembled.

"We can't stay here for long!" The pilot gritted his teeth and yelled, trying to hold the aircraft steady and hovering, "The most I can do is get close to here—"

Before his words fell, Lao Bai, who was wearing the "Dragoon" power armor, had already run in three and two steps, and jumped towards the exposed gap.

The tentacles who were waiting for the opportunity to move just wanted to step forward to stop it, but before they could touch the edge of the power armor, they were blasted into pieces by a shuttle of high-explosive grenades.

"Lao Bai! I'll cover you! The kidney fighter crouching on the edge of the cabin shouted excitedly.

At the same time, Lao Bai's feet were already on the floor of the 68th floor of the "Tower of the World".

The scarlet fungus blanket was trampled into flesh by the steel armor, and a flaming hot-melt cutting axe still slid into his hand.

At the same time, there was also the wrist-thick blaster, which was also loaded with a crisp click.

A tentacle struck him like lightning from a corner of the room, but before he could get close to a height of ten meters, he was blown to pieces by a high-explosive bomb!

The blaster gun can not only fire explosive bullets, Jushi Military Industry has long designed a series of anti-infantry warheads without a safe distance for this equipment in response to the problem of safe distance.

And these special warheads are just as useful even in narrow battlefields!

"Well, thanks...... I'll leave the rest to me, so you can withdraw first. ”

The broken gap was closing, and the only passage left was no room for a second person to enter—

Unless one more anti-ship missile is fired.

However, there is no need for that anymore.

Lao Bai could feel that powerful aura was here, and it was on the floor he was, not far from him.

But there was no fear in his heart.

As the player with the highest combat power in the whole server, he is confident that he can beat all opponents in front of him in a 1v1 PK.

Even if it's an opponent I've never seen before—

It is not him who should be feared, but it!

"Come out, Tyr, it's only you...... Let me see how much power you have in your hands. ”

Cutting off three tentacles attacking him in a row, Lao Bai waved the hot-melt cutting axe in his hand and strode towards the broken laboratory door.

Standing in the depths of the 68th floor of the laboratory, Tyr's face froze slightly with his eyes closed, and his ugly face instantly distorted like a boiling swamp.

It is true that he has not fully grasped the power in his hands, just as he can't concentrate on cleaning up the traitors and Alliance soldiers outside at this moment, while concentrating on facing this little fly that flew under his nostrils.

But if the little fly arrogantly thinks that this is the equivalent of a god and he can't take it away, then it is really ridiculous and generous.

To him, that's just pinching a bug to death!

"Who allowed you to stand here-"

Before he could finish his words, a metal door panel that had been cut in two smashed into him like a cannonball.

Caught off guard, Tyr could only dodge, but when he looked up again, he saw that the man in steel armor and carrying a short axe was already standing in front of him, and the unbladed axe was burning with a scorching light.

"No one asked if you allowed it."

"I came on my own!" (End of chapter)
