Chapter 88, Let's do it!
Yuan Sheng raised his hands again, and the freezing rain gathered once more.
This time, he condensed two ice spears, each over ten meters long, in one go.
"Stop looking, cover for me."
Hu Zi roared, and Xu Su finally reacted. He immediately gripped the alloy knife hilt, leaped into the air, and charged into the horde of beasts that were launching their Nth attack on the hospital gate.
Hu Zizai controlled a strangely shaped device, which was circular in shape and more than 5 meters in diameter, like a star tunnel door in a science fiction movie, and walked towards the beast corpses scattered on the ground in front of the steps.
"Holy crap, that's so cool!"
The students in the hall were all amazed by the ice spear of the ice-type ability user.
"Help! Save them!"
Liu Baichuan shouted and rushed out first, and the students reacted and quickly followed.
Joey lifted up Ringo, a short-haired female team member covered in blood; Cao Yingchong carried G4, whose left leg had been bitten off by a ferocious beast; Ji Chenyu dragged D3, who was covered in blood and had both arms broken; and the other students also carried the seriously injured Blue Shield team members back to the hall.
"Yue Wanwan, come help!"
Liu Baichuan carried a dying teammate into the pharmacy.
Yue Wanwan jogged into the pharmacy and placed her hand on the forehead of the unconscious team member.
On the way back to the old city, Yue Wanwan, who had been reassigned to the main control vehicle, had already treated Xu Su twice. However, the team member's injuries were far too severe; in her current condition, she simply couldn't continue.
"Come"
Liu Baichuan reached out his hand, and Yue Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.
"Zite told the teacher not to worry."
That name seemed to have some kind of magic, causing Yue Wanwan, who was tense, to instantly let down her guard and raise her hand to place it on Liu Baichuan's wrist without hesitation.
At base number three, as everyone was preparing to evacuate, Qi Te found Lao Liu alone and told him about Yue Wanwan's unique ability to absorb and transfer life force.
The reason she was placed in the main control vehicle was not only to ensure her personal safety and to serve as a "power bank" for Captain Xu, who had the strongest combat power, but there was another more important reason.
While in the ginkgo forest on the old campus, Yue Wanwan mentioned that after absorbing the life force of several trees, she experienced an overload phenomenon similar to oxygen intoxication. This suggests that the life force she could store was quite limited.
As for "Immortal Old Liu," whose self-healing level is unknown, his vitality is definitely not low. A power source paired with a power bank is the best combination.
Qi Te's prediction was correct; as soon as Yue Wanwan touched Liu Baichuan's wrist, she sensed a powerful life force.
In just five seconds, the team member who had suffered a torn neck and excessive blood loss had his heartbeat and breathing restored, and multiple wounds healed rapidly.
Ji Chenyu carried D3 and rushed into the pharmacy. Yue Wanwan followed suit and quickly cured the dwarf uncle.
Cao Yingchong and Qiao Yi carried the two wounded men in, but before they could put them down, Liu Baichuan rushed to the window.
Just as a leopard-tiger beast leaped onto the windowsill, it was punched so hard by Old Liu that it saw stars.
"Hey, wait!"
Liu Baichuan had just shouted out when, unfortunately, it was too late.
Before the leopard-tiger beast could react, it was cleaved in two by an invisible blade.
Cao Yingchong looked at Liu Baichuan with some confusion, thinking to himself, "What time is it? Old Deng still wants to collect live samples?"
What a research fanatic!
Liu Baichuan glanced at his student speechlessly, inwardly cursing him as an idiot.
The Blue Shield team members' injuries were extremely severe. Even with their own strong vitality, if they were to be drained of life force by him, it would be like draining the ocean dry. Wouldn't it be better to knock out the ferocious beast and act as a target for Yue Wanwan?
Seeing the regretful expression on Lao Liu's face, Ji Chenyu's long-lost intelligence suddenly came online, and he immediately realized that Tezi must have told Lao Liu the truth.
"Squad leader, if there's a chance to capture him alive, don't kill him."
Cao Yingchong looked on in astonishment, and was about to say, "Did you catch Qi Te's madness too?"
"it works!"
After uttering two words, Ji Chenyu used his extreme speed to jump out of the window.
At this moment, Qin Yun, Qing Feng, Mai Ji'er, and other classmates whose special abilities were suitable for combat had rushed out of the hall and stood on both sides of the machine gun position to intercept any beasts that had escaped Xu Su's killing line.
Without further ado, Cao Yingchong and Qiao Yi exchanged a glance and joined the battle.
The five machine guns had long since run out of ammunition. The Blue Shield field team members were either dead or wounded, and their remains had been burned to ashes.
Their path to survival now depends on themselves!
.............................
Directly in front of the hospital, a golden salamander raised one of its front paws, gripped a tall building, and crawled forward.
The already dilapidated building could not withstand such a heavy object and collapsed instantly, as if it were made of clay.
The freezing rain, before it could fall, was controlled by Yuan Sheng and continuously condensed into ice spears of varying lengths.
The sound of wind breaking echoed continuously as countless ice spears, firing at a speed far exceeding that of a sniper rifle, shot unstoppably towards the golden salamander.
The dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of orange-red fire, with a temperature of nearly a thousand degrees, which vaporized the ice spear almost in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Sheng seized the opportunity and issued the order.
"shot!"
The five snipers lying in ambush on the upper floors of the hospital building immediately pulled the trigger.
Xu Su's badge walkie-talkie was now pinned to Yuan Sheng's collar.
The bullets for anti-materiel sniper rifles are made of brass casings and high-density tungsten alloy, with a melting point of 1,000 degrees Celsius and extremely high penetrating power.
The golden salamander can spew high-temperature flames, but its body surface temperature doesn't reach that level. Furthermore, while Kyogoku Hiko was connecting to the team members' brains, Gensho issued combat orders to the five snipers.
First, no matter how fierce the battle below is, you must not fire; you must wait for orders.
Second, aim for the golden salamander's eyeballs.
'Bang, bang, bang'
A sound like cannon fire exploded.
Even before the sound arrived, five bullets, each over 20 centimeters long, were fired.
"Awooo~"
The dragon roared in pain and rage, unleashing another pillar of fire.
Several buildings of varying heights collapsed instantly under the intense heat of the flames.
'Buzz buzz buzz'
A roaring sound came from behind.
Caught off guard by the indiscriminate attack from the defensive towers, the three Scorpion fighters, forced to climb and detour through the buffer zone, finally arrived in haste.
Freezing rain lashed against the top of the canopy, making a crisp, tinkling sound. Fortunately, the Scorpion fighter's 13-meter diameter rotor could rotate 270 degrees, which largely eliminated the interference from the freezing rain.
It was nearly 5 p.m., and there were no lights in the border area. The already dim environment, coupled with the freezing rain, made visibility extremely low. The monitoring satellite only captured one large, unusual creature and could not capture any clear images.
Therefore, when the fighter jet flew to the vicinity of the designated landing area, the Blue Shield members inside the aircraft finally saw the enormous, mountain-like creature below.
The nine elite team members, including the driver, were so shocked by what they saw that they were almost mentally stunned.
The three [Outpost] members who had just emerged from the portal were also taken aback.
WTF!
Isaac gasped and turned to try and slip back into the portal.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Neeko's current ability allows her to maintain the portal for a maximum of three seconds. If someone rushes in when the portal closes, they will most likely be cleaved in two by space, ending up in two separate places.
"Go go go, get out of here quickly!"
Isaac felt a chill run down his spine; that behemoth was no joke. In comparison, he even thought surfing in the beast tide was a pretty good option.
"We're almost at our limit."
Opening a spatial portal is different from cutting space; the former requires maintaining stability, while the latter is purely strangulation.
Nico knew very well that her energy was almost depleted, and if she forced it to continue, she would be powerless to fight.
After fleeing for their lives again in the wilderness teeming with hungry beasts, this old city before them was clearly a safer place.
"That's... a golden dragon salamander?!"
As soon as Mukert finished speaking, Nicole and Isaac immediately looked up at the distance.
The three of them simultaneously recalled the previous mission.
The infiltrators at Oasis III were there to destroy the anomalous creature captured by the biotechnology company. While it's unclear what kind of experiments Oasis was conducting, they were certainly up to no good.
The mission of [Outpost] can be simply stated as: to take down the Federation, the powerful, the capitalists, the bad companies, and to destroy the entire world.
Oasis Biotech has deep ties to the federal government; the previous Supreme Commander ascended to the throne thanks to the company's financial power. Behind Oasis are vast capital and several powerful families that rose to prominence during the disaster—a veritable power spike.
It would be unreasonable not to do it.
Therefore, what the oasis wants to do must be destroyed.
This extremely rare and unusual creature will definitely be targeted by the oasis. Rather than waiting for them to capture this behemoth and develop black technology that could lead to the extinction of all mankind, it's better to strike first.
The members who join the [Outpost] are not cowards. And these three guys who frequently receive high-risk missions, combined, don't even come close to the intelligence of Kyogoku Hikaru.
So, once they confirmed that the giant beast was indeed the Golden Dragon Salamander, the three of them instantly felt no pain in their backs or legs, and were no longer intimidated.
"Dry!"
.........................
"Damn, I can't do it!"
Isaac roared and suddenly felt a burning sensation under his feet.
Looking down, I saw the flying skateboard rapidly melting under the intense heat.
Below is a wasteland covered in lava; if you fall in, you'll be instantly reduced to ashes, not even needing to be cremated.
Just as Isaac was despairing and realized he was about to fall into the flames, a whirlwind grabbed him and flew him toward a building to the side.
"Oh my god!"
Isaac fell down next to the machine gun emplacement at the main entrance of the hospital. Before he could recover, a hand reached out to him.
"You saved me?!"
Isaac stared in shock at the young man before him. The man's thermal clothing was stained with blood, his mask was torn, and fragments were still embedded in that handsome face that even Isaac admired.
Cao Yingchong nodded, then frowned and looked ahead.
Three Scorpion fighter jets hovered on the left, right, and rear of the Golden Salamander, unleashing a barrage of firepower from three different angles.
The heavy machine guns hanging on the left side of the cabin were smoking, but the actual damage they caused to that behemoth was negligible, like scraping a cup.
Fortunately, the machine gun fire and tracking missiles, firing two rounds per minute, were still somewhat effective.
Under a feint attack of a large wave of ice spears, the golden dragon spewed flames, vaporizing them. Before the mist could spread, Yuan Sheng seized the opportunity and issued his orders.
Of the first five sniper bullets fired, two hit their mark, precisely striking Jinlong's left eye.
At this moment, blood was continuously gushing from the golden salamander's left eye.
And right in front of that eyeball, which was bigger than a human head, two figures suddenly appeared!
