Chapter Index

    Lu Xingchen’s eyes narrowed. He immediately supported himself on the ground with one fist, assuming a leaping posture. Flames raged around his body, and both his fists ignited!

    *Boom!*

    He shot out from his spot, arriving in front of the human skeleton. He descended from the sky, accompanied by a massive pillar of fire.

    “God’s Fire of Annihilation!”

    *BOOM!!!!* A huge torrent of fire erupted from both his hands, directly engulfing and reflecting the flame wave spewing from the human skeleton’s mouth.

    Watching this scene, Lin Xian sighed inwardly. It was truly a case of one thing conquering another. He and KIKI had almost been burned to a crisp when they encountered that human skeleton anomaly’s flame wave. Yet, this guy was directly confronting it head-on and even seemed to have the upper hand!

    In the sky above, a hurricane rose, instantly fanning Lu Xingchen’s flames.

    “Fire-type metahuman, I’ll give you a hand.” Jiang Yun spread his arms. The white gale furiously blasted away a large number of zombies outside the high wall while also aiding Lu Xingchen’s fire.

    *BWOOM!*

    At this moment, KIKI flew over. An invisible shockwave blasted out, sending the flame-engulfed, charred human skeleton and a large number of zombie corpses flying out of the gate.

    “Now! Close the gate!” Lin Xian rushed out, shouting at Wei Kexue.

    *Whirr~*

    The remaining gate power units began to operate at full capacity, but only one side of the gate started to move, slowly closing a little.

    “Cover them!”

    The Iron Guard soldiers, seeing the few metahumans who had come to help, immediately began to provide fierce covering fire, buying Lin Xian and the others some time. They frantically fired at the anomalies climbing and crowding outside.

    The area around the gate was already littered with corpses. If KIKI hadn’t made that powerful sweep, it would have been completely blocked.

    Lin Xian took this opportunity to rush into the engineering room next to the gate. He activated his mechanical scan and began to scan the entire Entrance A gate.

    [Mechanical Scan, initiating.]

    The scale of this gate was much larger than he had imagined. There were a total of 4 power units, two on each side.

    “Not only is the cable broken, but the power unit has also short-circuited.”

    [Scan complete. Fault point detected.]

    After the scan was complete, he directly created a steel cable and quickly connected it using Mechanical Repair. Then he repaired the power unit. Without waiting for the system to connect, he began to actively operate it to close the gate.

    *Whirr~*

    Outside the passage where the fierce battle was raging, the tall alloy gate suddenly began to operate and then slowly closed.

    KIKI and Jiang Yun, high in the sky, saw the blockage in the gate and acted simultaneously. A hurricane and a shockwave instantly cleared away the corpses of the zombies and strange insects, helping the gate to close completely.

    *THUD!*

    The tall alloy gate finally closed. The zombies that had rushed into the airport were quickly cleaned up by the firepower inside. The Iron Guard soldiers defending here felt the pressure greatly reduced.

    *BWOOM!!!*

    The fire control radars of two 1130 close-in weapon systems suddenly turned and began to fire violently in one direction!

    In the dark night sky, a giant white spider suddenly climbed up from the airport tracks, revealing its terrifying form in the searchlight.

    “White-Haired Ghost Spider, a B-class anomaly!” Wei Kexue shouted.

    *Whoosh~* A howling gale swept past. Jiang Yun flew over rapidly, shouting loudly, “Don’t let that thing open its mouth!!”

    *Pfft, pfft, pfft…*

    A metal jet stream carrying a destructive aura swept across. The giant spider’s body exploded with blood and tissue.

    *BWOOM!!!* Ren Huiyan’s motorcycle sped along the edge of the defense line, nimbly weaving under the giant spider’s long legs. Missiles continuously launched from the motorcycle, instantly blasting off one of its rear legs.

    Lin Xian rushed out of the engineering room at this moment. Seeing the giant spider, his heart skipped a beat. This thing was countless times larger than the three-headed spider he had seen in Yuchi. It towered into the sky. Seeing its abdomen pulsating, Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed.

    “Be careful!!!”

    *Gurgle, gurgle~ BANG!*

    The giant spider’s face was instantly blasted to smithereens. Just as everyone thought it was about to be eliminated, the spider’s abdomen, the size of a truck’s front, suddenly began to shake violently, and then, it exploded!

    In an instant, a rain of red acid splattered down from the sky!

    “Ah!!”

    “What is that…”

    In the plaza, several hundred Iron Guard soldiers and supporting survivors had horrified expressions.

    *PFFT-BOOM!*

    At the same time, high in the sky, Jiang Yun, KIKI, and Lu Xingchen below also had grave expressions and acted simultaneously!

    A pillar of wind, telekinesis, and an explosive flame jet!

    *Boom, boom, boom, bang, bang, bang!*

    In the span of a breath, nearly half of the crimson acid in the air was blasted towards the zombies and anomalies outside the wall. A larger amount still fell!

    Flashback! Shield Wall!

    The metal materials in his decomposition space flew out frantically. Lin Xian’s speed increased to the extreme. With a rapid flash, he appeared in the middle of the crowd and waved his hand!

    *CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!!!!!*

    The Mechanical Heart operated frantically. Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters!

    A huge metal support wall rose from the ground out of thin air, meeting the densest area of acid.

    *SPLATTER!*

    The acid splattered onto the ground, and instantly a foul stench and the smell of high-temperature burning radiated through the air. Dozens of survivors and Iron Guard soldiers who couldn’t dodge in time were drenched. In an instant, screams and the sizzling sound of corrosion echoed throughout the entire Entrance A area.

    The large crowd behind them retreated in terror.

    “Ugh!”

    KIKI’s face turned pale white watching this scene. She grabbed the giant insect corpse that was about to fall with her telekinesis, roared, and threw it directly outside the wall, smashing it into a white corpse monster that was about to climb up. *Splatter!* The large amount of acid poured into the zombie horde, instantly melting a fan-shaped area of zombies.

    However, she had no time to care about that. Her anxious gaze turned to the most severely affected area. There, a huge, irregular steel wall stood. The steel was constantly being corroded, emitting thick white smoke. A large amount of molten iron dripped down, creating dense holes.

    But then, those holes were filled by a new wall!

    Seeing this, KIKI’s eyes relaxed. This meant that Lin Xian’s mechanical ability was continuously active.

    “Fall back!”

    Behind the giant steel wall, Lin Xian roared. Only then did the astonished Iron Guard soldiers and a large number of survivors react, frantically retreating with lingering fear on their faces.

    *Creak~*

    The powerful corrosive force caused the steel plate to bend and collapse. Seeing the crowd had moved away, Lin Xian released his hold, turned, and dodged. An invisible force grabbed him, pulling him sharply from behind the collapsing wall.

    “Lin Xian, are you okay!” KIKI flew down, looking at Lin Xian nervously.

    Lin Xian shook his head, panting heavily. “I’m fine.”

    Looking ahead, the white gas produced by the corrosion on the ground had almost enveloped half of the Area A plaza. A dozen survivor vehicles and Iron Guard armored vehicles had been reduced to charred iron frames in an instant. Besides that, there were countless charred, humanoid fragments on the ground, a chilling sight.

    *WHOOSH!!!!*

    A great hurricane rose, suddenly starting to blow the white gas and foul stench outwards.

    Jiang Yun landed with a grim expression. He looked at Lin Xian. “Captain Lin, Engineer Wei, leave this to us. You guys get to the ascension elevator, quickly!”

    “Okay! Okay…” Wei Kexue’s face was bloodless, his lips dry. He clutched his computer tightly, turned with a few Iron Guard soldiers, and got on the shuttle bus.

    “Lu Xingchen!” Lin Xian shouted at the young man whose upper body clothing had been burned away by the fire. He then pointed to the high wall, where Dalou and Shasha were continuously firing outwards. “Protect them!”

    “Brother Lin, you be careful too!” Shasha, hiding behind Dalou while reloading, shouted at Lin Xian.

    Lu Xingchen panted heavily, his eyes filled with a crazed battle intent.

    “This god understands and will not fail his promise!”

    “Little chick, come with me.” Lin Xian gave a slight nod to Jiang Yun and Ren Huiyan, then, without stopping, got on the vehicle with Wei Kexue and headed towards the ascension elevator.
