Chapter 24: The Charge

In the middle of the valley.

What should have been lush primeval jungle is now unrecognizable.

Smoke and dust drifted into the sky, and collapsed giant trees and shattered rocks were mixed and piled up.

The ground was devastated and more than twenty meters in diameter, and dark craters created by the continuous bombardment were everywhere.

The nearly fifteen-minute artillery roar finally came to an end.

Wu Senyan and a group of special affairs bureau transcendents were the first to reach the edge of the nearby pit, and Yu Zhen and another middle-aged man with a goatee and a simple robe stood on his left and right.

The latter's name is Qin Zhao, the captain of Group B of the Ninth Section of Shanqing City.

These Ember Apostles will serve as the vanguard to open the gap for the subsequent Special Operations Soldiers.

It also means that they will face the most irritating first wave of the swarm after the bombardment.

The afterglow of the setting sun casts, and the light can only cover part of the area, and in the deeper darkness there is the red and blue light released by the lighting drone that was previously dropped into it, like the abyss of hell.

An eerie roar echoed, and a black-gray mist rose in the smoke.

Wu Senyan turned to look back, his gaze swept over the nearly a hundred ember apostles who were waiting in battle behind him, and the thousands of special operations soldiers in the distance.

A considerable part of the apostolic contingent was drawn from various places on an ad hoc basis, and all of them were key members of the Special Affairs Bureau.

It's not that there are only so many transcendents, it's that there are so many paranormal events across the country these days.

Most of the Ember Apostles need to be in their respective zones.

Some of the weaker apostles who came to play a very limited role, so it was better to strive for excellence and form a sharp knife army.

"Comrades, behind us are nearly 10 million people in Shanqing City...... This battle must be won! ”

I wanted to say something to encourage everyone, but halfway through the words, Wu Senyan saw the firmness in the eyes of these warriors, paused, raised his hand and clenched his fist, and announced in a deep voice.

As the words fell, all the Ember Apostles unanimously took out masks of similar shapes from the space.

This is one of the latest smart machinery products on the shelves in the torch bazaar, not to mention that it has a certain night vision ability, but also has both gas masks and defense functions, and its price is expensive.

Feeling the cold mechanical covering his face and the change in his field of vision, Wu Senyan turned to take out a camera and put it on his left shoulder, which will truthfully feed back the scene in the hive to the headquarters of the Secret Service Bureau.

In addition, it is also connected to Yan Jing's mobile phone, ensuring that he can know the situation underground at the first time.

The two fists collided, and a pair of mechanical fists appeared, the muscles of his body bulged, and the phantom of the fierce giant bear flashed behind him.

He looked up at the pillars above the valley, where two figures stood faintly.

They are the Special Agents Bureau's killer weapon for Hive Masters, and they won't enter the battlefield in the first place.

Turning to look at Yu Zhen beside her, she seemed to be looking at Fengzhu as well, and only after noticing Wu Senyan's gaze did she look at the latter and nodded heavily.

"It's up to the two of you!"

Turning his head to look at Qin Zhao, who already had an extra bronze tripod in his hand on the other side, Wu Senyan said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured, as long as I live, the road will not be broken...... Let's go! ”

Both hands patted the body of the tripod, the spiritual energy brilliance flickered, and then there was an earthy yellow light with the bronze tripod as the center to spread in all directions, the soil layer around the pit began to tremble, and the gravel and soil converged from the surrounding to the pit and condensed into a sloping stone path in front of everyone.

One end clings to the surface, and the other ends stretch underground.

At the same time, Yu Zhen's hands formed a magic seal, and the stone path that was like a slide in the previous second quickly solidified under the action of spiritual energy and stairs appeared.

The two worked together to forcibly create a path to the underground hive!

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the stairs had extended to the bottom of the pit, Wu Senyan immediately raised his arms and shouted, leading the team to go straight to the underground insect nest along the stone steps.

Many Ember Apostles followed, and the remaining Special Operators quickly gathered around the crater, waiting for their signals.

Qin Zhao and Yu Zhen maintained the existence of the stone staircase on the left and right, controlling it to continue to extend downward while attaching itself to the surrounding pit walls.

This is to keep the ladder steady so that it doesn't fall apart when they enter the battle.

After all, the special operations units after that need to enter the battlefield along the ladder.

As the altitude continues to settle, the sultry heat on the surface gradually dissipates and is replaced by a constant upwelling of cold air from the ground.

The roars of the insects became more and more high-pitched and echoed in everyone's ears.

However, a vertical distance of 100 meters, hurried by, and the swarm of insects that had been bombarded repeatedly obviously did not intend to sit still, and in the face of the humans rushing towards the brood, their counterattack had already begun.

In the darkness, the red and blue lights flickered alternately, reflecting the distorted outline of the insect, and the sound of flapping wings clearly reached everyone's ears, and the dense buzzing sound was deafening.

"Prepare to take the enemy!"

Wu Senyan shouted, and immediately behind him, several Ember Apostles threw many fist-sized crystal balls on the way of the team.

As the crystal ball burst in the air, the silvery-white powder contained in it splashed forward, followed by a wave of psionic energy fluctuations, and all the insects hidden in the darkness were forced to manifest.

The pupils suddenly contracted, and as far as the eye could see, there was a strangely distorted existence!

Wu Senyan saw more than a dozen worms emerge from the rock walls on both sides of the pit, spitting out a large amount of tongues with foul-smelling mucus on the surface from their mouthparts full of sharp teeth; The cockroach-like insect wields its sickle-like forelimbs back and forth between the stone walls of the pit, and the forelimbs swing with the sound of whistling wind; The insect beast, whose body is covered with hair and whose head is similar to that of a beast, but whose trunk is a giant spider, keeps its head held high, and constantly spews out a large number of viscous silk webs.

Even after being bombarded in turns, there were still a lot of alien insects in the hive, and this was not unexpected by Wu Senyan and the others, who had already discussed the possibility of such a situation before leading the team down.

Without any superfluous instructions, the five Ember Apostles, including Wu Senyan, all used their own long-range attack methods, preparing to forcibly suppress this wave of alien insects that tried to intercept them in the middle of the road.

Blazing flames, dark cyan blades, leaping arcs......

The irascible spirits of all colors strangled the first many insects and beasts in the same place, and in the process, several people in the rear pushed through the barrier according to the plan, intercepting the filthy blood of the insects, the stumps and the venom they sprayed before they died.

At this point, everyone finally crossed the pit and descended to the underground level where the hive was located.

Due to the previous explosion, an earthen platform several meters high had been piled up in front of the pothole, and Qin Zhao and Yu Zhen immediately reinforced and expanded it, allowing the stairs to connect directly to it, preparing to use this place as a foothold.

The disgusting fishy smell was Wu Senyan's first impression of the hive.

By the light, he could see the ground littered with broken insect remains and craters left by the explosion of missiles.

And the pitch-black gelatinous bodies that poured out of the depths of the darkness and churned like a tide, a mixture of rotting flesh and strange mycelium!
