In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 365: Exposing Superpowers
Seeing this, several other mercenaries who were also locked outside the door simply stopped running, turned around, faced the rushing alien army, and methodically took out the grenades they had reserved.
One of the mercenaries had a determined look in his eyes. At the last second before pulling the trigger, he suddenly turned around and shouted towards the inner door, "Commander Mu—Luo Lei of the 515th Legion reports to you! In my next life, and the next, I'll still be your soldier!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled the safety ring and plunged into the pile of alien species.
With a loud "bang", Luo Lei disappeared forever between heaven and earth.
"Commander Mu - Liu Ziye of the 524th Legion reports to you!"
"Commander Mu - Ma Qiang of the 541st Legion reports to you!"
"Commander Mu..."
The mercenaries that followed followed Luo Lei's lead, and each shout was followed by a thunderous roar that shook the earth.
Luo Zhenzhen looked at the scene through the protective net and tears were already streaming down her face.
Even Cheng Sinian turned his head away slightly, unable to bear to look any longer.
At this time, Mu Guan, who was in the inner gate, already had tears in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let the tears fall.
He raised his head slightly, not caring whether they could hear him or not, and just shouted to himself: "Okay! Brothers! I, Mu Guan, will remember your names!"
"We have a deal! In my next life, I will come back to find you to be my soldiers!"
…
Although the sacrifice of several mercenaries successfully stopped the progress of some alien species, it was a drop in the bucket.
In the face of such a huge number of alien species, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it really has no significant effect.
Soon, the few aliens who survived outside the protective net were also swallowed by the aliens, and the alien army rushed to the front of the protective net in a few breaths.
Luo Zhenzhen seized the opportunity and when the first alien stretched out its sharp claws and just touched the protective net, she instantly exerted force and used her supernatural power.
The dazzling electric light spread throughout the entire protective net in an instant, with Luo Zhenzhen's palm as the center, successfully turning the protective net in front of her into a powerful "electric grid".
All the alien species that touched the protective net were electrocuted the moment they touched the electric net. Although new alien species rushed up soon, Luo Zhenzhen did manage to block the alien species tide outside the protective net with her own strength.
"Electricity?! It's a lightning-type! A nature-type mutant!"
A sudden commotion broke out from the crowd behind him.
"Naturalist?! Besides that Li Pingwei, are there other naturalist mutants in our base? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
"That looks like the one with the big pendulum!"
"A pendulum? No wonder they were able to complete seventeen missions in a week! Turns out there's a nature-type mutant!"
"Are we saved then?!"
“…”
No matter what the people behind them discussed, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen had no time to pay attention to them.
Although Luo Zhenzhen successfully stopped the alien, this method consumed a lot of her energy and she couldn't hold on for long.
He now had to find a way to delay the alien species before Luo Zhenzhen's energy was exhausted.
Cheng Sinian's lips tightened as he raised the megaphone he had just borrowed from Commander Mu and shouted at the mercenaries and aliens inside the inner gate, "Now everyone, throw all your bombs and grenades from above the protective net into the alien tide. The more scattered the better! Quick!"
Everyone in the inner gate was confused when they heard Cheng Sinian's shout, but before they could hesitate for long, Commander Mu shouted again: "Listen to him! Throw it away!"
Then, in an instant, a large number of grenades and bombs were thrown into the pile of alien species.
One after another, grenades and bombs exploded in the alien tide.
While the flames had not yet completely dissipated, Cheng Sinian waved his hands, and the small flame that was still burning slightly after the explosion instantly turned into a raging fire.
Even though it was still raining, Cheng Sinian's fire showed no signs of being extinguished.
So outside the protective net, Cheng Sinian successfully used the remnants of the explosion and the surrounding alien species to build a wall of fire.
As soon as the wall of fire rose, Luo Zhenzhen's legs went weak at the edge of the protective net, and she fell straight back as if she had collapsed.
"Zhenzhen!" Cheng Sinian's eyes flashed with anxiety. He immediately pulled Luo Zhenzhen's body, who was about to fall to the ground, into his arms, then quickly took out the fruit water from the space and handed it to Luo Zhenzhen's mouth, "Zhenzhen, drink water, drink water quickly..."
Luo Zhenzhen's energy was overdrawn. At this moment, her vision was black and her head was dully painful.
There was a buzzing in her ears and she couldn't hear what Cheng Sinian was saying at all, but the liquid that suddenly flowed into her mouth made her swallow subconsciously.
Mu Guan, who had been observing the battle situation in the inner gate behind him, saw Luo Zhenzhen faint and looked worried. He immediately ran out with a large bag of crystal cores.
"Brother Cheng, crystal core!"
Cheng Sinian didn't bother to be polite with Mu Guan. He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Luo Zhenzhen's hand. "Zhenzhen, absorb some crystal cores, and you'll be fine soon..."
After Luo Zhenzhen drank a bottle of fruit water, her condition had improved slightly. Although her head still hurt, at least she could hear Cheng Sinian talking.
Luo Zhenzhen forced herself to open her eyes, and sure enough, she saw that Cheng Sinian was also pale, with a little sweat on his forehead. So, while absorbing the crystal core that Cheng Sinian stuffed into her, she said with difficulty, "You also... replenish..."
"Okay! I'll add some too!" Cheng Sinian grabbed another handful of crystal cores from the bag Mu Guan sent him, and while agreeing casually, he hugged Luo Zhenzhen tighter in his arms, "You should rest now and stop talking!"
Mu Guan looked at the pale faces of Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen, then suddenly stood up and saluted them solemnly.
"Brother Cheng, Miss Luo, you've worked really hard today. On behalf of the G City Survivor Base, I sincerely thank you!"
Cheng Sinian shook his head. "Commander Mu, let's save the words of thanks for later. There are simply too many alien species right now, and we can only hold them off for a while. Quickly have everyone absorb the crystal cores while they can, replenishing their energy and strength. Those who have recovered, call out and stand behind the protective net. I'm afraid there's going to be a fierce battle soon!"
"Okay!" Mu Guan nodded. "Then you guys should have a good rest first. If you need anything, feel free to call me!"
"Yeah." Cheng Sinian nodded and stopped talking. He just held Luo Zhenzhen and began to concentrate on absorbing the crystal core.
Cheng Sinian was right. Since there were so many alien species, the firewall could only hold back the alien tide for a few minutes. Soon, the alien attack came back again.
