Chapter 653: Absolute Defense
On the last city wall, Jiang Kaixu, Ye Ning, Li Yishuang, He Yulan, and Wu Yu stood here. They looked at the dance drama of life and death in front of them, and there were no other emotions, their hearts were full of wariness of the enemy and anxiety about the future.
Their faces turned pale as they watched the roots of the trees gallop across their land like demonic tentacles, the boulders in the sky falling like dark clouds, and the defenses of their positions being easily breached one after another.
They looked at the once bustling city, now covered in flames, and they watched the fireworks in the streets and alleys, and listened to the cries of pain from the supernaturals. It was a fight they never expected, and an opponent they had never faced.
At this critical moment, the eyes of the five strongest supernatural beings actually flashed with fear. They took long breaths, tensing at every muscle in their bodies, but the slightest hint of fear pierced their hearts like sharp awls.
They face ahead and take a deep breath, as if condensing all the strength that follows. Their figures seem so lonely, but their eyes are full of tenacity, which is their determination to fight the unknown.
At this moment, they felt like they were back in the way they had crushed humanity when they first appeared.
And these supernatural people in front of them, how could they not know that as long as they came to this second line of defense, their fate was basically death. But they have no choice, they also have people to protect, and at this moment, no one can stop this worm except them.
Although they had not seen the ability of the Overlord Worm, they had more or less guessed that this powerful Overlord Worm had already represented their death.
But they understand that if they don't block the Overlord Worm here, then there will be no chance to stop the Overlord Worm, he will destroy all this, and he will have no ability to resist when the time comes.
They knew that if humans wanted to win, they would have to unfold when the Overlord Worm was at its weakest and most exhausted. At this time, all of them made the same decision without hesitation.
They want to stay at the front, in front of Jiang Kaixu and the other five, they want to waste the physical strength of the overlord insect with their lives, and they want to use their lives to test all the abilities of the overlord insect.
They did all this just to give the strongest five abilities more possibilities to defeat the Overlord Bug. For this possibility, they are willing to stay at the forefront, willing to die.
But they never imagined that as the top A-level and S-class abilities among the human race, they would not be able to withstand the blows of the Overlord Worm and the towering tree, and they would be destroyed by the devastation. Their last hopes and extravagances were easily crushed to pieces.
At that moment, time seemed to stop flowing, and wherever they went, there was no escape from the reality of this world. Fear, despair, reluctance, struggle... In this difficult time, they are driven to the brink of fate.
Thinking of those who were unfortunate enough to die, Jiang Kaixu, Ye Ning, Li Yishuang, He Yulan, and Wu Yu's eyes flashed with determination and grief. They clenched their fists, full of determination and courage, to start the last battle for all mankind.
However, to their surprise, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and suddenly began to shake, and they felt the wall under their feet crumble in an instant, and cold fear grew in their hearts. Like a monster rolling underground, they could feel the vibration under their feet, and it was a strong sense of unease.
The walls at their feet suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and then the entire wall collapsed, and they saw the roots of the trees rising from the ground, looking fierce, like the claws of demons, pointing at them. It all happened so quickly that the five of them didn't have time to react, only to watch themselves fall tremblingly from the city walls.
It all happened so quickly that they didn't have time to react, only to watch themselves fall tremblingly from the walls. The walls beneath their feet crumbled as if they had been pierced by a giant needle. They watched as tree roots, symbols of death, emerged from under the crumbling walls and attacked them.
In an instant, they lost all support, as if abandoned by the world, falling from the sky into endless darkness. At the moment when these violent tree roots were about to touch them, the brown-black light on Li Yishuang's chest burst out, like a bright pearl, enveloping all five of them.
A brownish-black light shone in the sky, like the dawn of dawn. Li Yishuang's ability was like a protective shield, encompassing all five of them. At this moment when the air froze, the five of them seemed to have become watchmen on an isolated island, isolating all the evil outside.
The wriggling roots, like ancient monsters, slammed into them, but they couldn't shake the brown-black barrier. The boulders in the sky were useless, as if they were commanded by an invisible hand, cut off from the defensive screen. Even the flames that burned around them could only jump helplessly around the defensive barrier, unable to reach the five of them.
The five of them sank to the ground, and the world around them seemed to freeze in an instant. Flames raged all around them, roots roared before their eyes, boulders fell above their heads, but they were unharmed, like an island of tranquility in a storm.
The five of them were like immovable lions, ignoring the heat of the flames, ignoring the savagery of the roots, ignoring the destruction of the boulder, Li Yishuang's powerful defensive ability was perfectly interpreted at this moment.
Like a continuation of the nightmare, sharp tree roots emerged from the ground, as if giant pythons were writhing wildly underground, crashing into the protective shields of the five of them. They were like blows on an invisible barrier, bounced off so hard that they couldn't reach anyone within the black barrier.
At the same time, the boulders falling from the sky seemed to have encountered a strong barrier, and they could not get closer. The boulders crashed into the shield with a metallic sound, then turned into particles, and sank to the ground.
The roots of the trees writhed wildly, crashing into each other like a mountain and a sea, and boulders fell from the sky one after another, and the world seemed to have fallen into the apocalypse. However, all the disasters could not reach the brown-black barrier, and they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, passing in front of the barrier, failing to cause any harm to the five people.
However, while the five of them were safe and sound, outside the barrier, the reality was extremely cruel, the second line of defense, the defense line composed of those with abilities, had been shattered, and they were like fragile glass, which could be broken at the touch of a button. The whole city was in ruins in a mess, buildings collapsed, streets shattered, and deserted.
The Overlord Worm held its head high and ran fast on all fours, like a ferocious dragon advancing like lightning. Like a messenger of destruction, it mercilessly takes human life, lighting a new flame with every move and scorching earth with anything that stands in its way.
Like a bloodthirsty beast, the Overlord Worm is moving forward rapidly, keeping the entire battlefield under its control. Wherever it passed, the quicksand-like land was set on fire and turned into a sea of fire, a brutal battle never before seen in human history.
The roots of the trees burst out of the ground, crisscrossing and crisscrossing as if they were about to tear the heavens and the earth apart. Boulders fell, smashing huge craters into the ground, and fire roared in the wind, incinerating everything that could burn. The roots of the trees that writhed like angry snakes, the stones that cleaved like thunder, and even the flames that gushed in from all directions were all cut off by this brown-black defensive barrier.
The five supernatural beings were trapped in that black barrier, Ye Ning could hear it, he could feel the world around him disintegrating rapidly, and he said to Li Yishuang in this darkness: "Li Yishuang, can you open a crack in your defense, I want to see what the situation is outside." ”
Li Yishuang stretched out her hands helplessly, even if no one could see her movements clearly in the dark, she just wanted to prove her helplessness in helplessness, her tone was full of innocence: "I don't know what the situation is." ”
"I obviously don't have the ability to activate, but this defense, I don't know why, he suddenly appeared, and I don't have to spend any ability to maintain it now, but this defense is protecting us."
"If I'm not mistaken, my defenses will disappear when the surroundings are safe." Li Yishuang said helplessly.
In the center of the command post, Li Jingwu sat there, and in front of him was a large screen showing real-time footage. He watched the overlord worm move forward relentlessly, and watched the second line of defense composed of top supernatural beings be destroyed in an instant, and the shock and fear in his heart were like a bottomless black hole, and he could not calm down.
He looked at the picture on the screen with a solemn look, seeing that the second line of defense did not hold back the Overlord Worm for half a point, only dilapidated and scorched earth. He turned his head and looked around the command room. Experienced officers and scientists were stunned and pale, fear already clearly written on their faces.
He knew that as the supreme commander of this command post, he had to be responsible for all the personnel, and he had to stabilize the situation. He took a deep breath, forced his composure, his voice was solemn, and he gave the order in that authoritative voice: "Intensify the development of higher concentrations of poison, put all nuclear weapons on standby, and launch them as soon as the monster reaches the third line of defense!" ”
Under the shock of his words, the entire command post instantly restored order, and everyone began to act quickly, their eyes flashed with determination and courage, they understood that this battle, more important than any other, they must go all out, for the future of mankind.
