Chapter 347 The End of the Road

[Border North District, Tunnel Worm Tunnel Entrance]

The elites of the three forces of Edge, Moxue, and Langxi gathered here. More than a hundred extraordinary people were like lonely boats on the black ocean, fighting with endless beasts.

Compared with the tens of thousands of mercenaries on the rear defense line, the people here accounted for less than 1% of the total.

But even this less than 1% of people faced a battle intensity that was more than a hundred times higher than that of other places.

As one of the most powerful people among these elites, Shangguan Li was deeply trapped in the most dangerous position, with high-energy laser beams gathering on her fingertips, constantly jumping between the beasts like a startling.

Compared with the violence of other people who kept pulling back and forth with the beasts, or smashing the beasts at any time, her combat efficiency was the highest.

Proficient in martial arts, she could easily see through the weaknesses of these beasts' powerful bodies. Every time she fought, she only needed one strike, absolutely accurately piercing the vital points, and these seemingly domineering monsters could be killed instantly.

Many of the bodies of the beasts that died at Shangguan Li's hands had no external injuries at first glance, and were intact from head to toe. Only by careful observation could one find that some of the most vulnerable parts of the body had been pierced by lasers.

Even so, killing thousands of beasts is still a great drain on the body.

Moreover, the beasts themselves are not targets, they will fight back and move, and this is the area where the beasts are most concentrated, so bullet time must be used to maintain combat efficiency.

Shangguan Li's bullet time has been running for several hours in a row. Even though her energy core has been upgraded to "Dreadnought" after the Fool's Meeting incident, such high-intensity power output is still a huge burden.

Just as Shangguan Li dodged the claw attack of a beast and prepared to counterattack, she suddenly felt a sense of loss of control in her body, and the built-in information interface projected scarlet text in the visual area of ​​the artificial eye.

[Warning, the implanter's immune system is abnormal]

[Synergy deviation of the prosthetic components]

[Please inject immune preparations immediately]

Seeing these warning messages, Shangguan Li suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Why at this time?

Everyone who uses prosthesis knows that each implant recipient has different tolerance for prosthesis.

Those rare geniuses can easily install advanced prosthesis without any burden.

And some implant recipients have low talents and may have difficulty getting the worst prosthesis.

Shangguan Li's prosthesis talent is not low. It can even be said that compared with most people, she is still a gifted person.

But compared with those legendary implant recipients, her talent is far from being a "genius".

Fearless level, among the seven levels of the prosthesis system, this is the fourth level of advanced prosthesis, which is the limit of Shangguan Li's talent.

In order to drive this fearless level prosthesis, she needs to regularly inject prosthesis immune agents in her daily life.

Although it is only the lowest dose injection, the need for injection means that the prosthesis exceeds the normal carrying capacity of the implant recipient and there is a probability of disorder.

And as the intensity of prosthesis use increases, the probability of disorder will also increase.

Before leaving for the border, Shangguan Li had already injected immune agents in advance to prevent accidents.

She thought she could minimize the probability of disorder, but she never thought that this low-probability event would still happen, and it happened to happen during the fight, which was extremely fatal.

When the deafening roar resounded through her mind and the stench of blood from the beast's mouth came to her nose, Shangguan Li felt for the first time in her life that she was so close to death.

"Master!!!" Dongdong was the first to notice something was wrong and wanted to rush over to save the situation, but she was too far away and couldn't catch up at all. She could only watch the beast's claws pierce the disordered Shangguan Li.

Just when Shangguan Li was unwilling, a tall figure appeared in front of him like a gust of wind. The wolf mane on the black leather jacket was soaked with blood, and it pulled out fine blood beads in the air when it moved at high speed.

The dark purple pupils reflected a sharp and fierce light, and the huge wolf claws smashed at the beast like a cannonball, and the swing directly detonated the sound barrier.

"Boom!!!"

The power of this claw is hard to estimate. The beast's body was deformed, blood burst out from the blood vessels under heavy pressure, and all the bone structures were crushed, turning into a pool of real meat mud.

"Fenrir"

Fenrir stood in front of Shangguan Li. Her wolf blood code had been fully activated, and many parts of her body showed signs of wolf transformation, like a half-human angry beast.

When more beasts pounced, her claws swung at the front at high speed, and each claw had a terrifying speed that broke the sound barrier. All the beasts touched by it exploded, flew backwards and hit the ground. What's more, even the basic structure could not be seen, leaving only fragmented flesh and blood.

After rescuing Shangguan Li, Fenrir turned his head and glanced at her: "Are you okay?"

Shangguan Li raised her hand with difficulty, took out a large dose of immune preparation from her waist bag, and injected it into her body. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and regain control of her limbs.

She stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and said in a deep voice: "It was an accident just now, I can handle it."

Fenrir didn't say much, and continued to walk to the place where the beasts were most concentrated. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Try your best, but don't die."

Dongdong finally broke through the siege at this time, rushed to Shangguan Li and asked with concern: "Master, how are you?"

Shangguan Li nodded: "It's okay, just take the medicine, and continue to fight."

Dongdong took the initiative to stand in front of Shangguan Li, facing the beasts that gathered, and said: "Don't stay too far away from me. If you can't stand it, hide behind me. I will protect you."

Shangguan Li looked at Dongdong's back and thought of a few months ago, this was still a hairy kid that she could hold down with one hand. She couldn't help but smile in a complicated way.

Just when Dongdong and Shangguan Li, the master and apprentice, worked together to fight, Chu Nanyi's voice came from the communication frequency band: "Everyone, pay attention, the bombing airship is coming, the target is the tunnel worm tunnel, stay away from it!"

The tunnel worm tunnel is the source of the beasts. It must be too difficult to block such a place with manpower alone.

So Shangguan Li had already arranged it. After meeting up with the wolf raiders, everyone fought and retreated, keeping a safe distance, and then waited for the bombing airship to come.

The bombing airship carried a high-yield warhead. If the tunnel could be blown down and blocked in one go, the pressure everyone would face later would be greatly reduced!

"Buzz--" With the roar of the engine from the sky, the bombing airship appeared on the battlefield and hovered over the tunnel worm tunnel.

At the same time, everyone had fought and retreated hundreds of meters away, leaving the area that would be affected by the bombing.

"The bombing will start soon, everyone be prepared for impact."

Not long after Chu Nanyi finished speaking, the bombing airship locked onto the tunnel worm tunnel, and high-yield bombs kept whistling out of the cabin, like a black rainstorm.

"Boom boom boom boom--" The fire column rose in the tunnel, and the scorching light was like a solar flare, which made everyone look away.

The shock wave spread along with the rolling heat waves. Everyone hiding behind the bunkers felt the ground shaking violently, and the hot wind swept back and forth around them.

After the bombing, everyone looked in the direction of the tunnel worm tunnel.

There was smoke everywhere, and the burning flames accompanied by black smoke and dust pierced the sky, and it seemed as if a devil's claws were opened in the surging.

The exit of the tunnel had collapsed in the explosion, and there were many burning remains of ferocious beasts around. Those ferocious beasts that did not have time to rush out were all buried in the rock layer under the ground.

Seeing this, everyone's emotions became high and they cheered.

As long as the tunnel was sealed, the ferocious beasts were rootless water. Killing one less would kill them all sooner or later.

But not long after, everyone's fantasy was broken.

As the ground trembled more and more violently, some kind of huge creature was approaching under the ground.

"Boom--" When the tremor reached its peak, the tunnel exit that was originally sealed suddenly exploded, and the huge body of the tunnel worm suddenly emerged from it, bringing up rubble and beast debris.

The collapsed tunnel was once again opened up by the tunnel worm.

Moreover, this monster was extremely cunning. After opening up the tunnel, it did not attack the crowd, nor did it stop, but went back underground to hide.

In the communicator, the voice of the bombing airship driver came: "No, our bombs are not powerful enough, we can only blow up the area of ​​the exit. There is still a long tunnel space under the ground, which is not affected at all. The tunnel worm drilled through it again."

Seeing the dense beasts continue to pour out of the tunnel, Shangguan Li said unwillingly: "Is there any way to locate the tunnel worm with the ground-penetrating radar?"

The driver replied: "It can't be located. The tunnel worm is lurking very deep, which exceeds the maximum distance that the ground-penetrating radar can detect."

Shangguan Li Guan Li: "Does that mean we can only fight head-on and continue to block the tunnel with manpower?"

Driver: "According to the data feedback, if we want to completely destroy the underground tunnel and kill the tunnel worms, we need a higher order of explosive energy, and we don't have any weapons in our warehouse that can do that."

"Even if we can find weapons of this level, it won't work if we detonate them on the surface. We must first transport them to the depths of the tunnel. Excuse me, this operation is too difficult."

Everyone had no choice but to continue fighting the beasts as before to buy time for the rear transfer.

Just as they were fighting hard, a floating car suddenly flew from a distance, followed by an airship in pursuit. From the logo, it turned out to be a vehicle of the Public Security Bureau.

The floating car landed directly in the center of the battlefield. After the door opened, a person no one expected ran out of it.

I saw Schenkov holding a small pistol for self-defense, his eyes full of bloodshot due to anger. He kept shooting at the beasts around him and roared at the airship above his head.

"Come on! Aren't you here to protect me? Then come on!!!"

Several anti-violence team members stood at the edge of the airship's hatch, and were frightened by Schenkov's actions and sweated profusely.

Seeing that a ferocious beast was pouncing on Schenkov, the anti-violence team members screamed: "Fire cover! All personnel forced to land! Quick, quick, quick, quick!!!"

The airship's anti-ground artillery fired wildly at the ferocious beasts, bringing up a large amount of blood mist and bursts of roars, and the anti-violence team members began to jump down.

When he was young, Schenkov had served in the front-line troops, but after all, he had been in politics for many years and lived a life of luxury. He had long lost his combat qualities. Several rounds of artillery fire in the distance knocked him to the ground, covered in mud and slipping, extremely embarrassed.

As soon as the anti-riot team members made an emergency landing, Schenkov rushed to the place where there were more ferocious beasts, shouting: "Come on! Protect me! Come here!!!"

The anti-riot team members suddenly felt their hearts sink to the freezing point, and they also understood Schenkov's intention.

Now the security forces were directly called by the city council speaker Amir, and Schenkov had lost his command.

The main force of the anti-riot section 4 was sent to the airport to assist the dignitaries to escape, and they were only temporarily transferred to protect the city council members.

In addition to the protection mission, they were not authorized to participate in any other actions, otherwise it would be disobedience.

So Schenkov deliberately took risks and kept drilling into the pile of ferocious beasts, just to force them to come over and participate in the battle on the border in this way.

It can be seen that Schenkov was really at the end of his rope and didn't know what to do. He could only throw himself into the battlefield like a moth to a flame.

When Schenkov was messing around, Shangguan Li was nearby and noticed him immediately.

She rushed over and chopped down a few beasts that were ready to move, grabbed Schenkov's collar and asked: "Why are you here instead of mediating with the city council? When will the door of the rusty wall open?!"

Schenkov hung his head, and the string that had been taut seemed to break. He shed tears and choked, "I'm sorry I failed you. I can't send those refugees into the city."

In Schenkov's narration, Shangguan Li learned what happened at the rusty wall.

She really didn't expect that the city council was so inhuman.

The mercenaries had already set up the defense line and done all the dirty work. As long as the city council ordered to open the door to receive people, these beasts in human clothing actually let the Rust Wall defense troops shoot at the refugees

Just when Shangguan Li was in a daze, a dongdong sounded: "Master! Help! We are short of people here!"

Shangguan Li came back to his senses, grabbed Schenkov's shoulders, and said heavily: "Listen, we can only delay time as much as possible, and we can't keep fighting."

"You must find a way to let the Rust Wall let in as soon as possible and send the refugees in, so that we can evacuate as soon as possible and reduce casualties."

Schenkov said with tears: "But I can't do it"

"Pah!"

Shangguan Li slapped Schenkov directly, as if trying to wake him up, pointed at his nose and said sternly: "I tell you! Don't Tell me you can't do it!"

"Our brothers are falling every minute and every second now. We are here to buy time for you alone! Every second you delay, every extra person who dies, will be counted on you!"

She pushed Schenkov away and said with a complicated look: "Don't blame me for being cruel. I'm putting my words here. I don't trust the people in the authorities at all, including you."

"The reason why I brought so many people to fight for you is because Captain Su believes in you. I believe in him, he believes in you, so I can only believe in you."

"As long as you are still alive, I will assume that you are still trying and will try my best to buy you time."

"If you really think you can't do it, then shoot yourself in the head. If you die, I will assume that the plan has failed completely and immediately lead everyone to evacuate. I won't let everyone make meaningless sacrifices!" (End of this chapter)
