Chapter 347: The End of the Road
γBorder North District, Tunnel Worm Yongdaokouγ
The elites of the three forces of Edge, Moxue, and Wolf Attack all converged here, and more than a hundred transcendents were like lonely boats on the black ocean, fighting with endless fierce beasts.
Compared to the tens of thousands of mercenaries on the rear line, the number of people here is less than 1% of the total.
But even those who are less than 1% face more than 100 times more fierce battles than in other places.
Shangguan Li, as one of the most powerful people among these elites, was trapped in the most dangerous position, and his fingertips converged high-energy laser beams, constantly jumping between the fierce beasts like a shock.
Compared to the violence of other people and beasts constantly pulling back and forth, or breaking the beast with every move, her combat efficiency is the highest.
Proficient in martial arts, she can easily see through the weaknesses under the powerful bodies of these fierce beasts, and every time she encounters, she only needs one blow, and she can stab directly at the point with absolute precision, and she can kill these seemingly domineering monsters in an instant.
Many of the corpses of the fierce beasts that died under Shangguan Li's hands did not have any external injuries at first glance, and they were complete from head to toe, and if you looked closely, you would find that some of the most vulnerable parts of the body had been pierced by lasers.
Rao is like this, tens of thousands of fierce beasts are killed, and it is still a lot of consumption for the body.
What's more, the beast itself is not a target, it can fight back, it can move, and this is the area where the beast is most concentrated, and it is necessary to use bullet time to maintain combat efficiency.
Shangguan Li's bullet time had been fired for several hours in a row, and even though her power supply core had been upgraded to "Dreadnought" after the Fatui incident, such a high level of power output was still a huge burden.
Just when Shangguan Li dodged the claw attack of a fierce beast and was about to counterattack, he suddenly felt a sense of loss of control from his body, and the built-in information interface projected scarlet text in the visual area of the prosthetic eye.
[Warning, the implanter's immune system is abnormal]
[Synergistic deviation of prosthetic components]
[Please inject the immunization preparation immediately]
Seeing these warning messages, Shangguan Li suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
How this time.
Anyone who uses prosthetics knows that there is a difference in the ability of each implant to tolerate the prosthesis.
That kind of rare genius can be casually equipped with high-level prosthetics without any burden.
And some implanters are so talented that they may struggle to get the most rubbish prosthesis.
Shangguan Li's prosthetic talent is not low, and it can even be said that compared with the vast majority of people, she still belongs to the category of talent.
But compared to those legendary implanters, her talent is far from "genius".
Fearless level, among the seven levels of the prosthetic system, this is a high-level prosthetic body at the fourth level, which is already the limit of his own natural ability for Shangguan Li.
In order to drive this dreadnought-level prosthesis, she needs to be regularly injected with prosthetic immune preparations in her daily life.
Although it is only the lowest dose of injection, the need for injection already means that the prosthesis is beyond the normal carrying capacity of the implanter, and there is a probability of disorder.
And as the intensity of prosthetic use increases, the probability of dysregulation will also increase.
Before leaving for the border, Shangguan Li had already injected immunization preparations in advance to prevent accidents.
She thought that she could minimize the probability of disorder, but she never thought that such a small probability event would still happen, and it happened to happen during the fight, which was extremely fatal.
When a deafening roar resounded in his mind, and the smell of blood mixed with blood from the mouth of a fierce beast came from the tip of his nose, Shangguan felt that he was so close to death for the first time in his life.
"Master !!" Dong Dong was the first to sense that something was wrong and wanted to rush over to save the scene, but she was too far away to catch up at all, so she could only watch the fierce beast's claws stab at the dysfunctional Shangguan.
Just when Shangguan was unwilling, a tall figure appeared in front of him like a violent wind, and the wolf mane on the black leather coat was already soaked in blood, pulling out fine blood beads in the air as it moved at high speed.
The dark purple pupils reflected a fierce light, and the wolf's huge claws smashed into the beast like cannonballs, and the sound barrier was directly detonated with a swing.
"Boom !!"
The strength of this claw was incalculable, and the body of the beast was directly deformed, blood burst out of the veins under heavy pressure, and all bone structures were crushed, turning into a puddle of flesh in the true sense of the word.
"Fenrir"
I saw Fenrir standing in front of Shangguan Li, her wolf blood code had been fully activated, and many parts of her body showed signs of wolfification, like a half-human angry beast.
When more beasts pounced, her claws swung at high speed in front of her, each claw with the terrifying speed of shattering the sound barrier, and all the beasts it touched exploded, flying upside down and smashing to the ground, and even more so that the basic structure was not visible, only fragments of flesh and blood remained.
After relieving Shangguan Li, Fenrir glanced sideways at her: "Are you okay?" β
Shangguan Li raised his hand with difficulty, took out a large dose of immune preparation from his waist bag, and injected it into his body, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief and regain control of his limbs.
She got up to wipe the blood that spilled from the corner of her lips, and said in a deep voice, "It was an accident just now, and I can withstand it." β
Fenrir didn't say anything more, and continued to walk towards the place where the beasts were most concentrated, leaving a message before leaving: "Do your best, but don't die." β
Dong Dong finally broke out of the encirclement at this time, rushed to Shangguan Li's side and asked with concern: "Master, how is it?" β
Shangguan Li nodded: "It's okay, just take the medicine and continue to fight." β
Dong Dong took the initiative to stand in front of Shangguan Li, faced the fierce beasts that had gathered, and said, "Don't stay too far away from me, if you can't stand it, hide behind me, I will protect you." β
Shangguan Li looked at Dongdong's back, thinking of a few months ago, this was still a hairy little ghost who could be held down with one hand, and she couldn't help but show a complicated smile.
Just as Dongdong and Shangguan Li were fighting together, Chu Nanyi's voice came from the communication frequency band: "Everyone, pay attention, the bombing airship is coming, the target is the tunnel worm road, stay away from there!" β
The tunnel is the source of the fierce beasts, and it must be too difficult to rely on manpower to block this kind of place.
Therefore, Shangguan Li had already arranged it, and after coming down to meet the wolf attackers, everyone would fight and retreat, open up enough safe distance, and then wait for the bombing airship to come.
The bombing airship carries a large-yield warhead, and if it can be blown up and blocked in one go, the pressure on everyone will be greatly reduced!
"Hum-" With the roar of the engine from high in the sky, the bomber appeared on the battlefield, hovering over the tunnel worm road.
At the same time, the crowd had already fought and retreated hundreds of meters away, out of the area that would be affected by the bombardment.
"The bombing will start immediately, everyone be prepared for the impact."
Not long after Chu Nanyi's words fell, the bombing airboat locked onto the tunnel worm road, and the large-yield bomb continued to roar out of the cabin, like a black rainstorm.
"Boom, boom, boomβ" Pillars of fire rose up in the corridor, and the scorching light erupted like a solar flare, making everyone look sideways.
The shock wave spread along with the rolling heat, and everyone hiding behind the bunker felt the ground shake violently, and the blazing wind swept back and forth in the surroundings.
After the bombing, everyone looked in the direction of the tunnel worm road.
There was a lot of gunsmoke, and the burning flames were accompanied by black smoke and dust in the sky, and the churning seemed to open the claws of the devil.
The exit of the tunnel had collapsed in the explosion, and there were many burning wreckage of fierce beasts around it, and all the fierce beasts that did not have time to break out were buried in the rock formations underground.
Seeing this, everyone's emotions became high and they cheered.
As long as the road is sealed, the fierce beasts are rootless water, and if you kill one or less, you can kill them all sooner or later.
But it didn't take long for everyone's illusions to be shattered.
As the ground trembled more violently, some kind of giant creature was approaching beneath the ground.
"Boom-" When the tremor reached the extreme, the originally sealed exit of the tunnel suddenly burst open, and the huge body of the tunnel worm suddenly appeared from it, bringing up the debris and the remains of the fierce beast.
Once again, the collapsed tunnel was opened by tunnel worms.
And this monster is extremely cunning, it did not attack everyone after opening the tunnel, nor did it stay, and directly dived back to the ground to hide.
In the communicator, the voice of the pilot of the bombing airship came: "No, our bomb is not powerful enough, we can only blow up the area of the exit, there is still a long, long tunnel space underground, it is completely unaffected, and the tunnel worm will be opened again as soon as it is drilled." β
Seeing that the dense beasts continued to surge out from the Yongdao, Shangguan Li sighed unwillingly: "Is there a way for the ground penetrating radar to locate that tunnel worm?" β
The driver replied: "No, the tunnel worm is lurking very deep, beyond the maximum distance that the GPR can detect." β
Shangguan Li: "It means that you can only fight hard and continue to block it with manpower?" β
Driver: "According to the data fed back, if you want to completely destroy the underground tunnel and kill the tunnel worm, you need an order of magnitude higher explosive energy, and we don't have any weapons in the arsenal to do it." β
"Even if you can find a weapon of this level, detonating it on the surface will not work, and you must transport it to the depths of the tunnel first. IMHO, this operation is too difficult. β
Everyone had no choice but to continue to fight the beast as they had done to buy time for the rear transfer.
Just in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly a floating car flew from the far end, followed by a chasing empty boat, which was actually a vehicle of the Public Security Bureau from the sign.
The floating car landed straight in the middle of the battlefield, and when the door opened, a person who no one expected ran out of it.
Schenkov was holding a small pistol for self-defense, his eyes bloodshot with anger, and he kept shooting at the beasts around him, and roared at the airship above him.
"Come on! Isn't it to protect me? Come on!! β
Several riot squad members stood on the edge of the airship's hatch, frightened by Schenkov's actions, in a cold sweat.
Seeing that a fierce beast pounced on Schenkov, the riot squad members exclaimed: "Fire cover! All crew forced landing! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!! β
The airship's ground artillery fired wildly at the beasts, bringing up a large cloud of blood mist and roars, and the riot fighters began to jump down.
Schenkov also served in the front-line army when he was young, but after all, he had been in politics for many years and was pampered, and he had long lost the fighting qualities of the year.
As soon as the rioters made a forced landing, Schenkov rushed to the place where there were more fierce beasts, and roared angrily as he went: "Come on! Protect me! Come here!! β
The anti-riot members suddenly felt their hearts sink to the freezing point, and they also understood Schenkov's intentions.
Now the security forces are being called directly by the head of the city council, Amir, and Schenkov has lost his command.
The main forces of the four anti-riot divisions were all sent to the airport to assist the magnates in escaping, and a few of them were only temporarily transferred to protect the important members of the city council.
They are not authorized to participate in any other action other than the protection mission, otherwise it is disobedience.
So Schenkov deliberately risked his life and drilled into the pile of fierce beasts, just to force a few of them over in this way and participate in the battle on the border.
It can be seen that Schenkov is really at the end of his rope and does not know what to do, so he can only throw himself into the battlefield in this moth-to-fire way.
When Schenkov came, Shangguan Li was nearby and immediately noticed him.
She rushed over and cut down a few beasts that were about to move, grabbed Schenkov by the collar and asked, "What are you doing here without the city council mediating?" When the hell will the door of the rusty wall open?! β
Schenkov hung his head, the string that had been tight seemed to be broken, and he choked with tears: "I'm sorry I failed you, I can't send those refugees into the city."
In Schenkov's account, Shangguan Li learned about what was happening on the other side of the Rusty Wall.
She really didn't expect the city council to be so inappropriate.
The mercenaries had all set up the defensive line, and the dirty work was all done, as long as the city council ordered the door to open the door to pick up people, and these well-dressed beasts actually let the Rusty Wall defense force strafe the refugees
Just when Shangguan Li fell into a stupor, a knocking voice sounded: "Master! Hand on! There's a shortage of people here! β
Shangguan Li came back to his senses, grabbed Schenkov's shoulder hard, and said heavily: "Listen, our side can only delay as much time as possible, and it is impossible to fight all the time." β
"You have to find a way to get the Rusty Wall to let in as soon as possible and send the refugees in, so that we can evacuate as soon as possible and have fewer sacrifices."
Schenkov said in tears: "But I can't do it"
"Smack!"
Shangguan Li slapped Schenkov directly, as if he wanted to wake him up, pointed at his nose and said sharply: "I'll tell you!" Don't tell me you can't do it! β
"Now every minute our brother falls, and we are here to buy you time alone! Every second you delay, every extra person who dies, will be counted on your head! β
She pushed Schenkov away and said with a complicated expression: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, I put my words here." I don't have the slightest trust in the authorities, including you. β
"The reason why I brought so many people to work hard for you is because Captain Su believes in you. I believe in him, he believes in you, then I can only believe in you. β
"As long as you're alive, I'll try to buy you time as long as you are still trying."
"If you really think you can't do it, shoot yourself in the head. If you die, my default plan will fail completely, and I will immediately withdraw all the people, and I will not let everyone make meaningless sacrifices! (End of chapter)
