Chapter 338 Victory

“Open fire, take these guys down.”

“Hahaha, feel the Mama Gang’s wrath!”

“I’m Feifei from Philadelphia, remember my name!”

Accompanied by shouts and boisterous laughter, everyone who had been ambushed opened fire with various weapons on the Base Chief and his more than two hundred Gene Warriors. Coupled with the activation of the Gongpan Base’s defense system, powerful firepower rained down in a dense barrage.

Under such a level of firepower coverage, even powerful Gene Warriors could only scurry around with their heads in their hands, utterly unable to retaliate.

“Ah!”

In an instant, screams rose and fell, with blood splattering and bodies torn to pieces everywhere. In just the first round of firepower coverage, the enemy had already suffered heavy losses. Those Three-level Gene Warriors had no chance of survival; only Level 4 Gene Warriors and Five-level Gene Warriors could barely escape the firepower coverage area by relying on their own powerful strength.

Even so, only a handful of warriors managed to escape.

“I’m going to kill you Philadelphia trash!”

A Level 4 Gene Warrior, covered in blood, shot once, and looking disheveled, rushed out, holding a damaged battle spear and roaring. His face was bulging with veins, clearly having pushed his genetic potential to the limit. But before genetic collapse, he tried to tear open a path to gain a chance for his other comrades to survive.

He could see that these thugs from Philadelphia were very weak, all One-level Gene Warriors. As long as he got close, it would be a massacre.

However, at this moment.

A brilliant Blade Aura, carrying a deadly sharpness, flew out from a corner of the crowd. The distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant, striking the heavily injured Level 4 Gene Warrior.

This Level 4 Gene Warrior didn’t even have time to react before his large head separated from his body and flew into the air.

He stared with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

“Don’t be careless, the enemy is pushing their genetic potential to fight to the death.” Li Yi, now wearing his extraordinary battle armor, strode forward, patching up weaknesses and stabilizing the defense line.

Under such firepower, the enemy had no chance of turning the tables. The only thing to worry about was their desperate counterattack before death.

“You’re their boss?”

However, the moment Li Yi appeared, roars immediately erupted. Then, two Gene Warriors, moving at an incredibly fast speed, dodged various lethal shots and charged forward with their weapons.

“Five-level Gene Warrior? What a pity, now it’s not enough for me. Step back.” Li Yi’s gaze shifted, and with a raised hand, two more dazzling Blade Auras flew out.

Now his Hundred Refinements Gang Qi could kill enemies within a thousand meters.

The Blade Auras struck.

The faces of the two Five-level Gene Warriors instantly bulged with veins. Then, they roared, erupting with power, and met the attack.

However, as soon as they made contact with the Blade Auras, their expressions changed.

Their powerful bodies were involuntarily pushed back by the impact, and their weapons felt as though they couldn’t be held, threatening to be knocked away.

This power… it’s incredible.

But even while pushing their genetic potential, these two Five-level Gene Warriors still blocked the terrifying blow and were not defeated.

However, this was not an individual battle; this was a battlefield.

Next moment.

Endless firepower covered the two Five-level Gene Warriors.

“Damn it!”

One Five-level Gene Warrior roared unwillingly, but it was useless. Li Yi’s attack had caused them to miss their chance to dodge, and they could only watch helplessly as they were swallowed by countless attacks, finally disappearing completely amidst a series of explosions.

Li Yi was now controlling the flow of the battle. Any Gene Warrior attempting to escape would be struck down by his Blade Aura. Even if they didn’t die, they would pay a price to resist his attack.

Under these circumstances, in just a short time, the enemy’s Gene Warriors were almost all dead or wounded.

The only one still capable of fighting was the Base Chief, who was a Six-level Gene Warrior.

“Hughes, you damned bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

Base Chief Da Jin roared in fury. He saw his capable subordinates die in battle, saw his beloved female Gene Warrior swallowed by artillery fire, and saw his own spaceship and Thunder Fighters turn their muzzles on him. He even saw the Gongpan Base, which he had ruled for many years, taken over by others.

All of this made it impossible for him to accept. He wished he could punch Hughes to death right then and there.

“I’m sorry, Base Chief, but you’ll be disappointed. Unless you push your genetic potential, you can’t kill me. And you’d better act fast, or when all your subordinates are dead, it’ll be your turn.” Hughes held his sabre, fighting and retreating. He didn’t expect to kill the Base Chief; he only needed to stall for time.

“Hughes!”

Base Chief Da Jin roared, his eyes red, and he unleashed his full power, delivering a blow. But Hughes immediately dodged, giving him no opportunity.

This made Da Jin feel incredibly frustrated.

Their strengths were similar. Without a fight to the death, neither could defeat the other.

And Da Jin was unwilling to sacrifice his life by pushing his genetic potential to the limit.

If he had done so from the start, he might have been able to break through the encirclement and create a path for others to survive.

But as a Six-level Gene Warrior and a nobleman, Da Jin would never sacrifice his own life to cover his subordinates’ escape. Instead, it was the subordinates who were expected to sacrifice themselves to protect his safety.

Soon.

The first round of firepower coverage ended.

Debris was everywhere. These Gene Warriors were almost all dead; only a few who were blasted away were severely wounded but not dead, still clinging to life, but they had also lost their ability to move. Death was only a matter of time.

This battle was won quite easily, with no casualties.

Of course, this was also because Li Yi controlled the situation. Otherwise, if a few Five-level Gene Warriors had truly broken through, there would certainly have been heavy losses.

“Only that Six-level Gene Warrior is left? Blue Ji, activate the Thunder Fighter and start attacking that Base Chief.” Li Yi gave another order. It was time to use this hidden killer.

“Understood, Master.” Blue Ji’s voice came through the intercom.

Next moment.

In the sky, the Thunder Fighter, hidden high above and with its stealth function activated, had now opened its cannons and began locking onto Base Chief Da Jin on the battlefield.

“Hughes, haven’t you dealt with him yet?” Li Yi shouted.

“I know.”

Hughes’s gaze flickered. He knew this wasn’t an urging for him to fight faster, but rather that the second phase of the deployment had begun.

“Base Chief, I’m sorry, I can’t play with you anymore. It’s time to finish you.”

His calm voice echoed. At the same time, a scorching flame suddenly erupted around him, soaring into the sky, then rapidly condensing and compressing onto his battle sabre. The originally black battle sabre instantly turned crimson, radiating astonishing heat.

This was Hughes’s Gene Ability.

“Try it if you can! I’m going to smash your head!” Base Chief Da Jin roared. He soared into the air, a fierce wind raging, as if transforming into a storm that swept towards Hughes.

Hughes soared through the sky, plunging into the storm, continuously striking with his scorching battle sabre.

Base Chief Da Jin’s battle armor was too powerful. Even when struck, it only sparked with hot flames and couldn’t be cleaved open. Instead, Base Chief Da Jin’s energy gauntlet, when charged, possessed astonishing power. As the storm swept, Hughes’s body was forcibly pulled in front of him, and with a punch, Hughes was violently blasted away.

The incredibly powerful force made Hughes involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Hughes, you can’t beat me. How do you think I became Base Chief? It’s not just my noble status, but also my powerful strength, haha. That punch didn’t feel good, did it? You know, this is the latest energy gauntlet.” Base Chief Da Jin laughed loudly at this moment.

Relying on his equipment advantage, Da Jin gained the upper hand.

He thought he could just beat Hughes to death.

But Hughes used this opportunity to quickly pull back and distance himself.

“Trying to run? Hughes, get back here and die!” Base Chief Da Jin wanted to chase him down.

But in the next moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky in horror.

Beams of dazzling light descended from above, arriving in an instant.

“Are those my Thunder Fighters?”

Base Chief Da Jin’s pupils suddenly contracted. Only then did he see three Thunder Fighters suspended high above the base. They had been in stealth mode before and hadn’t participated in any attacks, so everyone had overlooked them. Now, the three Thunder Fighters were at full power, their sole purpose being to deal with him alone.

But it was too late to realize it now.

He had been engrossed in his battle with Hughes and had overlooked this danger.

Now that the attacks were upon him, he had no time to dodge.

“Ah!”

Amidst screams of terror and despair, a beam of light swallowed his figure.

Then, two beams from the left and right converged.

With just one salvo from the three Thunder Fighters, Base Chief Da Jin was already dead. Only a damaged piece of battle armor, not yet destroyed, fell from mid-air.

“A tragic fate, dying by the very Thunder Fighters he always hesitated to use.” Hughes glanced at it and let out a sigh.

“The battle is over, we won.” Seeing the Six-level Gene Warrior die, Li Yi walked towards the battlefield and raised his arm, shouting loudly.

Everyone cheered loudly, raising their weapons.

At this moment.

They felt that as long as they followed Yi, they would be invincible. Even a Six-level Gene Warrior, someone they could only look up to, could be blasted into dust before them.

This greatly boosted their confidence.

“A speech, a few gang thugs, and they took down a Hope Building, occupied the Gongpan Base, and won a battle against Gene Warriors. If I hadn’t personally participated, it would be hard to believe such a thing.” Hughes landed from the air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled.

“Captain, are you okay?” At this moment, a Five-level Gene Warrior hurried over, asking with concern.

Hughes waved his hand and said, “I’m fine, Yinghua. I feel like I’m witnessing a historical turning point. Watch this moment carefully. I believe that in future history textbooks, there will be stories of the Philadelphia Speech and the Great Victory of Gongpan Base. The world has already begun to burn.”

He knew.

After completely taking over the Gongpan Base, Yi now possessed his own armed forces, no longer just a group of disorganized thugs and gangsters.

Time, he only needed a little time.

Once all these Gene Warriors matured, the era would be his.
