Chapter 634 The "Hell Level Difficulty" Level that Has Existed Since the Server Was Launched (1/2)

The thick gray-green fog is approaching quietly.

Staring at the nearby wall and machine gun emplacement, a pair of pupils lurking in the darkness gradually reflected a scarlet light.

It's six o'clock now, night has just fallen in Qingquan City, and the temperature is not too cold yet.

Night is the best cover for the spore clouds that fill the air and the fruiting bodies that lurk in underground passages.

The wind had almost just begun to blow that night, and the visibility of various streets in the northern suburbs had already dropped to less than fifty meters in silence.

Looking at her children, Thea felt quite proud.

The only pity is that those humans cut off the branches of the underground tunnels in the northern suburbs, otherwise it could have penetrated the fruiting bodies into their rear and suddenly attack.

The plan will be more perfect...

"Come on, kids."

Looking down at the bloodthirsty souls with invisible eyes, Thea, standing on the scarlet carpet, let out a silent cry.

"Turn them into the nourishment that breeds life——"

"Eat them up!"

…

"Roar--!"

The loud roar completely shattered the silence of the night. The alien species suddenly rushed toward the defense line like a sudden rainstorm. The murderous aura that hit their faces almost made everyone stop breathing involuntarily.

Thick tongues of fire shot out from the huge wall that stood like a dam, and the noisy shells made tracks in the fog and landed on the ruined streets.

The turbulent groups of fruiting bodies fell one by one, but soon the fruiting bodies behind them swarmed up one after another.

The explosions of fire were like pebbles crashing into the waves, unable to make a single ripple in the turbulent waves.

A defense line less than one kilometer away from Boulder City.

Looking at the turbulent waves, fear appeared on the faces of the soldiers holding assault rifles involuntarily.

They are all soldiers in the punishment camp.

At the same time, he was also a criminal who was caught in the crackdown a year ago.

They who once lived at the foot of the giant wall are not unfamiliar with waves.

However, when they actually face the wave, even the most vicious criminals can't help but feel the fear that goes deep into their bones.

The usually dull-witted gnawer seemed to have taken a drug.

Even the weakest fruiting body turned into a ferocious beast at this moment, and was condensed into a whole under the pull of the hive consciousness.

That is an existence that even the Deathclaws can't avoid. No single alien species in the wasteland is an opponent of these guys.

They will devour everything in sight!

Tear the prey into pieces, chew it, and devour it——

Until every inch of flesh and blood of the prey is integrated into this huge hive, completely becoming a part of that terrifying consciousness.

"Damn, how many are there?!" A prisoner couldn't help but exclaimed in fear as he watched the fruiting bodies disappearing under the gunfire and filling in the gaps.

"My God, the big-antlered deer..."

Crouching behind a nearby bunker, another prisoner couldn't help muttering a prayer, trying to overcome the fear in his heart by calling the name of the giant deer god.

Not far from him, a strong man with a shaved head was glancing back from time to time, his eyes constantly alternating between stern and panicked.

If it weren't for the supervising team's machine gun pointing at the back of their heads, he would have run away immediately without hesitation, running as far as he could!

There are only one hundred people in one position, and each hundred-man team is responsible for one street.

In front of them was a tide of slime mold, and behind them was the position of the militia group. If they fell, the men would not hesitate to rain down artillery fire on their heads.

As the commander of these prisoners, Bit's eyes were full of struggle.

This is their only chance to be free -

He can only prove his loyalty with blood.

Only then can we become human again!

At the moment when the artillery fire stopped, one by one the gnawers had appeared on the edge of the machine gun's range. He pulled the trigger and let out a cathartic roar of fear.

"Ahhhh!!!"

…

The wave has come into contact with the Boulder City position, and the alliance's position is still silent for the time being.

But almost everyone can feel the undercurrent lurking beneath the silence.

The three bacteria-eating death claws moved along the edge of the building, carrying dozens of monsters eroded by slime mold. Under the cover of night and gray fog, they approached the edge of Position 3 of Alliance Defense Zone 06, heading towards Position 4 in the middle of the defense line. Interspersed with positions.

The human nest is right in front of them!

Those pairs of amber pupils were marked with a desire for blood, and they had almost seen the building that was making noisy noises.

However, the moment they bared their fangs, streaks of orange-red fire suddenly rose into the sky, lighting up the streets near Position 3 into daylight.

Three bacteria-eating death claws and dozens of bacteria-eating monsters were instantly exposed to the light of the flares. At the same time, two flat 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns were already aimed at them.

Seeing the group of guys sneaking closer, Kakarot, who was lying next to the window of the abandoned building, shouted excitedly.

"Fire!"

Thick and long tracers were like blown catkins, carrying a devastating hurricane and blowing towards dozens of alien species standing on the street.

There was no time to react. The three bacteria-eating death claws roared in pain in the hail of bullets, swung their tails and tried to escape from the street.

However, the Storm Troopers, who have been waiting for a long time, will certainly not let them succeed.

The players squatting in the window of the building had already set up their 37mm heavy rifles and pulled the trigger at the same time that the anti-aircraft gun fired.

"boom--!"

One of the bacteria-eating death claws was instantly shot through the head, and a cloud of blood exploded from the chests and shoulders of the other two bacteria-eating death claws.

Although the new spores have a strong fire-extinguishing effect, the alliance has already replaced the core of the armor-piercing incendiary bomb with an incendiary agent based on magnesium based on the recommendations of the Biological Research Institute.

Not only did the high concentration of carbon dioxide not have a flame retardant effect, it actually acted like a combustion accelerant, making the white light inserted into the bacteriophageous death claws burn brighter and brighter!

The roar of pain echoed in the streets where the bullets were boiling. Thea sent out the first wave of elite monster squads, and they were instantly wiped out by the concentrated fire of the Storm Troopers.

"It feels like the micro-manipulation technology of this mother body is not very good."

Seeing the smoking gun barrel lying on the grave behind the window, he laughed and put a new magazine on the 37mm heavy rifle in his hand.

Brother Kakarot's voice came from the communication channel.

"Don't let your guard down, this is just the beginning, there are still a lot of people waiting behind you!"

Graveyard Ghost Hunter smiled and replied casually.

"Don't worry, we've got a stable batch!"

Dozens of elite monsters were wiped out in an instant, and the Storm Troopers completely stunned the vanguard of the wave that rushed towards the Alliance position.

On the scarlet carpet, Thea, who could no longer sense the assimilated fruiting bodies, froze on the spot.

The fruiting bodies formed by the assimilation of slime mold are different from ordinary fruiting bodies. Those little guys cannot be produced through the incubation room. They can only be captured from the wasteland by its fruiting bodies and transformed by it itself.

As a creature that is almost at the top of the food chain, the Death Claw is almost ten times or even dozens of times more difficult to capture than alien species such as monsters and multi-legged beasts!

It originally planned to open a gap in the alliance's defense line, and then send a large force to swarm up and drown the humans.

However, those cunning humans actually saw through its plan!

After a brief moment of astonishment, Thea, who was stunned on top of the fungus carpet, let out a shrill howl, and all the cells in her body trembled in anger.

But whatever—

The reactions of those people just showed that its guess was correct!

They do have some kind of mother nest that governs their consciousness.

And that "mother nest" is indeed crucial to them!

Otherwise, they would not have been able to deploy so many defensive forces in front of the noisy concrete block when their own kind were attacked so fiercely.

It opened its mouth, and the restless spores conveyed the silent anger.

At the same time, driven by that anger, the fruiting entities lurking near Alliance Position 06 were also burning with boiling fighting spirit.

The gnawers poured out of the entrance and exit of the subway station one after another. At the same time, more and more advanced fruiting bodies began to gather at the edge of the North Second Ring Road.

Among them are crawlers crawling along the walls of the building, and tyrants with thick horny armor.

The northern suburbs of Qingquan City, which was originally as quiet as lake water, suddenly boiled with the dense emergence of these fruiting bodies.

At the same time, not only the slime mold in Qingquan City was boiling, but also the alliance's radio channel.

"A large number of fruiting bodies are pouring out of the underground passage!"

"The number is expected to be over one million!"

"Oh my god...have all the aliens in the city escaped?!"

"Haha, just in time!"

"The fruiting entities near Defense Area 06 are forming a phalanx, and firefights have occurred at positions 1, 2, and 3!"

"Let the Death Corps turn around immediately! Act as planned!"

"receive!"

At the same time, on the No. 4 position of the No. 6 defense area, looking at the fruiting bodies emerging on the street, the face of the ghost hunter who was just joking about it a second ago suddenly changed.

Seeing a tyrant rushing towards them and knocking away their bunkers on the street, he immediately pulled the trigger and fired a 37mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb.

The bright white sparks instantly penetrated the tyrant's body, but did not stop its movement.

It wasn't until he fired two more shots that the ferocious body fell into the black mud.

However, that tyrant was just an inconspicuous one in the wave.

Countless fruiting bodies jumped over its corpse like a tide, swarming towards the position beneath him, rushing up against the noisy tracer.

Grave Hunter's index finger was almost stuck to the trigger, and he had no time to let go.

One magazine was empty, and he immediately replaced it with another. The barrel of the gun was so hot that it turned red.

Seeing more and more fruiting bodies on the street, he couldn't help but curse.

"I guess...are these guys getting anxious or something?"

Pieces of meat trailing green smoke landed near the position, and corrosive acid mist quickly rose.

Graveyard Ghost Hunter immediately put on a gas mask, cursed, endured the itching on his neck, picked up the 37mm heavy rifle and continued to fire.

In fact, he got it right.

Thea was indeed a little impatient.

On the one hand, it is certain that the brood behind that line of defense must be the weak spot of humans in the north. On the other hand, the alliance's firepower really exceeded its expectations.

The black windows kept spitting out tongues of fire, and the cannonballs falling from the sky kept harvesting its children.

Its ability can extinguish the flames, but it cannot stop the explosion of those shells.

not only that--

Those humans seemed to have figured out its capabilities and cleverly used the alternate fire mode.

That is, first use artillery shells to blast out a spore vacuum zone, then project incendiary bombs, and use artillery shells to cover the advancement of the fire.

Although it was still able to extinguish the flames in the end, it still could not prevent large areas of fruiting bodies and their corpses from being burned to charcoal by the flames.

The fresh lives disappeared quickly in the dancing sparks, but the alliance's defense line has not shown any signs of weakness——

In that endless death, it can feel the compassion of children!

Seemingly seeing its hesitation in the face of death, its mother, who was watching it from behind, gave a majestic shout.

"Do not hesitate--"

"That will only lead to more deaths!"

"As long as we can make them part of our body, it's not worth the price."

"This is our fate!"

Compared with the fruiting bodies that died in the waves in previous years, these casualties are indeed nothing.

Feeling the majesty from her mother, Thea's momentary hesitation disappeared and was replaced by madness and bloodlust again.

Under its urging, in almost a moment, the turbulent wave broke through the blockade of the fire network.

A large number of gnawers swarmed to the bottom of the building and started a hand-to-hand fight with the players squatting on the first floor.

Seeing that his children had rushed to the alliance's position, the spore cloud floating around Thea finally showed a hint of relief.

However, this relief did not last long.

The group of humans did not run away with their tails between their legs, but instead broke out with a stronger fighting spirit in the hand-to-hand fighting.

It suddenly occurred to him that it should have realized that these people were different from those living in the walls.

Under the command of the hive consciousness, they had no fear of death and did not care at all about the waves rushing in front of them.

It was as if what rushed into their faces was not a man-eating monster, but walking experience packets——

"Brothers! Copy guys!"

"Fight them!!"

"Ouch!"

Led by a squad leader, a dozen strength players wearing exoskeletons charged towards the slime mold rushing up the steps, forming a moving wall with steel hanging on their chests.

I saw a ruthless man holding a whining and spinning chainsaw in his hand, howling and rushing into the turbulent waves to slash and slash. Every swing was a burst of blood.

Covered in black blood, the guy standing on the pile of corpses let out a weird laugh.

"Gah ga ga, this game is too special to relieve stress——"

Before he could finish his words, a tyrant rushed in front of him and crashed into him with a dull roar.

Startled, he quickly swung the chainsaw in his hand, but the speeding saw blade made a "squeaky" slip on the tyrant's horny armor.

The pained tyrant stretched out his arms angrily, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and pulled hard.

There was just a stabbing sound, and the unlucky player who was caught was torn in half by the tyrant on the spot, turning into a bloody mist and sprinkling on the ceiling.

Throwing the body that was torn in half to the gnawers behind him to eat, the tyrant continued to rush forward with meteoric strides, its dark horny armor painted a ferocious scarlet with blood.

If ordinary mercenaries saw this scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits.

However, those standing in front of it were not normal humans, but a group of players who were not afraid of death.

They are like the warriors of Khorne.

This bloody scene not only did not extinguish their fighting spirit, but instead made the players even crazier.

At the same time, the solemn voice of the manager came from the radio playing BGM.

"The enemy's main force is attacking our position, and these stupid guys didn't realize that they had dived into our trap!"

"Hold on! The final victory must belong to us!"

In response to that voice, there were shouts of fighting spirit.

"Ouch!"

…

The noise of gunfire and artillery shattered the night in Qingquan City, and the battle against the tide officially began.

At the same time that the 10 positions in Defense Area 06 were completely turned into meat grinders, the Death Corps, which was rushing to support Boulder City, received the order to turn around and immediately turned around and headed towards the North Second Ring Road to kill.

Three thousand players with high morale were seated in armed trucks with machine guns on top.

Although their equipment is not sophisticated, they are all ruthless people who are more ruthless than the aliens.

Because their playing style is too tough, they rarely purchase expensive equipment to consume their limited logistics points. The LD series rifle worth 200 silver coins is their most expensive equipment.

Followed by bayonets, engineer shovels and grenades!

The original plan was that they should rush to Zone 06 to support the Storm Troops.

But just now, the Alliance's Biological Research Institute used various observation stations and drones scattered in the war zone to analyze the areas where "Thea" may be lurking based on the concentration difference and flow trajectory of the spore cloud.

Ever since, the Death Corps has a new mission——

With the support of the Goblin Corps, they will launch an attack on the headquarters of the wave!

Holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, Edge of Water shouted loudly in the Corps' communication channel.

"...The Stormtroopers are being attacked by waves, and our spring water brother is blocked by the fruiting bodies of slime mold!"

"Our mission is to help them, but not to rescue them, but to completely eliminate those disgusting things!"

"They will soon pay a heavy price for their stupidity and arrogance!"

"go ahead!!"

At this moment, the entire Qingquan City was filled with thick spores. It was obviously impossible for Thea, who was standing on the fungus carpet, not to notice this mighty team.

Its mood suddenly revealed a hint of panic.

Although it possesses higher intelligence than its brothers and sisters, it still didn't expect that those humans would leave the precarious nest instead of guarding it, and instead go straight to it.

Most of its children are on the front line, some flocking to those living in the walls, and some flocking to the mother nest of the "Northerners", leaving not much power around to protect it.

correct……

How did they find themselves here?

"Mother...they found me." Thea called towards the nest in the city center, "I need your help."

The Brood in the city center obviously noticed the group of human soldiers who suddenly changed direction and headed straight for the North Second Ring Road.

After thinking briefly, He answered in a kind voice.

"Don't panic. I have sent reinforcements in your direction. They can't hurt you."

They were His most elite subordinates and one of His most reliable guards.

The group of people 200 years ago are no match for that guy, let alone these guys who have degenerated for 200 years.

The previous children were not worthy of His hand, but Thea was an exception.

He was pleased with it.

In every sense, it is the best choice to open up territory for the ethnic group.

With her mother's comfort, Thea calmed down a little and refocused her energy on the two positions located to the north and west of Qingquan City.

It can feel that the two lines of defense that have been struggling to support are showing signs of collapse.

Especially the people guarding the wall.

Under the impact of the wave, they continued to suffer casualties, and they were already wailing on the verge of collapse.

Its mother was right.

As long as they are determined to do whatever it takes, they will be able to completely swamp those ugly organisms with numbers, and their fragile civilization will be vulnerable to higher life forms.

However, there is still a trace of uneasiness in its heart.

Those guys have been fighting their mother for two full centuries. Is it really that simple...

…

On the roof of a building on the edge of the Second Ring Road, two Viper transport planes landed slowly and dropped twenty fully armed players.

They all wore Type 5 exoskeletons, and almost all they carried were light weapons.

Twenty assembled gliders were stacked next to the stairwell.

Lao Bai took one out, held it tightly in his hand, and handed it to Ye Shi beside him.

Ye Shi was about to take it, but saw that Lao Bai did not let go, but grinned at him.

"Have you thought about it? Your equipment is not cheap."

The target of this mission is the city center of Qingquan City, the city center that even the post-war reconstruction committee failed to capture.

For two centuries, the survivors of Qingquan City have not tried to conquer it again.

As a "hell-level difficulty" level that has existed since the server was launched, even players who are not afraid of death can only wander around its edges and have never penetrated into the depths of that hell.

Now is the best chance, and almost the only chance.

Most of the fruiting entities in Qingquan City were contained on the defense line deployed by the alliance.

But even if their mission succeeds, there is a high probability that they will not be able to come back.

Ignoring Lao Bai's advice, Ye Shi rolled his eyes and snatched the paraglider.

"Hey, what a big deal."

No matter how expensive things like equipment are, they still have a price, and this kind of mission "relevant to the future of the alliance and the direction of the main plot of the game" can only be done once.

If he missed such an interesting thing, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Seeing Ye Shi's no-joking expression, Lao Bai laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Indeed, it's just a piece of equipment... By the way, if my ax falls, remember to pick it up for me."

Fang Chang on the side also smiled, patted the mechanical compound bow in his hand, and hung it casually on his back.

"And my Dawn, this guy has been with me for a long time, and I don't want to lose it."

Guangfeng touched the bridge of his nose.

"My manipulator is also... left to me by a friend of the Pioneer."

Ye Shi looked at this group of bad friends helplessly.

"Why are you so sure I can survive?"

Fang Chang looked away with a subtle expression.

"I don't know...maybe it's intuition?"

What Ye Shi wanted to say, the guy next to him suddenly couldn't help but complain.

"You put all the flags on his head. Even if this guy comes back, he probably won't come back."

Lao Bai: "Hahaha, it doesn't matter. If we survive, we will take his ashes back!"

As soon as he heard this sentence, Ye Shi reacted immediately and exclaimed in his heart.

Good guy.

These bitches don’t care about themselves at all!

At this moment, an arc of light flashed across the sky, flying straight towards the city center.

That was the Lingyun fighter jet flown by the Luoyu brothers, and it was also a signal for them to attack.

After calming down his joking expression, Lao Bai carried the glider and walked to the south side of the building. He tapped his index finger on the tactical helmet and closed the dark eyepiece.

"Our ace pilot has departed."

"It's time for us to follow suit!"
