The arthropods had already approached, and Du Lu's body had recovered somewhat. The three retreated towards the base. The white phosphorus bomb would burn everything, and once it came into contact with something, it would be very difficult to extinguish. Therefore, they had to retreat back to the base before the bombers arrived. However, Boss Jin blocked their way.
The three gripped their weapons tightly, exchanged a glance, and charged forward.
This is a life-or-death battle, with no one showing mercy. Every move is a tearing apart of flesh and blood. The two sides, who have harbored grudges for decades, are about to settle their score today.
Inside the planting base, Song Pei finally received news that reinforcements were about to arrive. Bombers carrying explosives and genetic weapons would begin bombing in five minutes. Therefore, everyone in the defense line had to evacuate during those five minutes, or they would also be affected.
The drones transmitted real-time images of the battlefield back to the screen, where Lu Xinghe, Luo Ning, Du Lu, and the others could clearly see their battle against the mutants.
They were struggling to get closer to the base, but there were too many mutants. All three of them were injured, and Lu Xinghe's barrier agent only had a few minutes left to work. If this continued, he would also be infected.
After witnessing all this, An Xiaoruo left the defense line alone; she was going to rescue people.
She cut open her own palm, and the gene in her blood that could kill aliens made the other mutants dare not approach. They threw weapons from a distance, trying to kill the girl, but An Xiaoruo, who only wanted to save people, unleashed all her strength, dodging their attacks time and time again, and constantly getting closer to Luo Ning and the others.
Wen Xi looked at Du Lu on the screen. This was the first time she had seen him in over a year. His face and body were covered in blood and sand, but his eyes were clear.
Yuanyou and Yuanyan looked at their parents, whose big eyes were filled with worry. The two little ones held hands, and Xiaoxiao, seeing this, toddled over and took their hands as well.
The three children, like angels, closed their holy eyes and prayed devoutly.
The arthropods that weren't killed by the explosion were still approaching the base, soldiers were still fighting hand-to-hand with the mutants, and those unconscious alien species that had originally gone far away were inexplicably returning again.
Humanity seems to be at a disadvantage once again.
On the lighthouse by the sea, Meng Ru frowned slightly as she watched the endless stream of returning alien species. Although she felt something was amiss, the return of the alien species was a good thing for her, so she didn't need to investigate it further.
Luo Ning, Lu Xinghe, and Du Lu have gone on a killing spree. No one knows how many mutants they have killed, nor how badly they are injured. Their bodies can no longer feel pain.
As one mutant fell, another rushed forward. Luo Ning stabbed the mutant in the face with an iron spike, but since it didn't hit a vital spot, the mutant wouldn't die. Just as she was about to deliver a second stab, the mutant's body suddenly turned ashen and died.
Behind the mutant was An Xiaoruo, panting heavily. Her face was extremely pale, and she held a syringe filled with her blood in her hand. She said to Luo Ning, "Aunt, I'm here."
In an instant, Luo Ning recalled that by the riverbank full of flowers, it was this same girl who had risked everything to shield her from a fatal blow from a mutant. At that time, she had called her "Mom" instead of "Auntie."
"Auntie, here you go." An Xiaoruo shoved the syringe in Luo Ning's hand, then threw the other two to Lu Xinghe and Du Lu: "Uncle, Uncle Du, catch them."
After obtaining the direct gene blood, the three immediately reversed their current situation, using needles as weapons to continuously rescue the other surviving security officers to their side.
The roar of bombers could already be heard, and the returning alien species surged toward this side like a tidal wave.
"Hahaha, we've got this in the bag!" the heavily injured leader laughed wildly. Even if humans still had firearms, there were far more alien species in the world. Could they burn them all?
Luo Ning looked at the endless array of alien species, wondering why they had returned. According to An Yuan's theory, they shouldn't have returned for a short time after leaving, unless something summoned them back.
But who is calling?
Seeing the surging tide of aliens, Boss Jin was puzzled. These aliens seemed to be controlled. They didn't have time to think and began to retreat, otherwise they would be trampled to death. Any individual was insignificant in front of such absolute power.
Lu Xinghe glanced at the mountain of dead arthropod corpses and shouted, "Get them on the arthropods' backs."
Luo Ning was the first to jump up, and then helped everyone climb up from above. There were a total of 27 security officers who came to bomb the arthropods, but now only nine remain, and all of them are seriously injured.
In the blink of an eye, the beast tide arrived. They were like giant gears, crushing everything they touched. Boss Jin and his mutants were also turned into mincemeat under their iron hooves. The other surviving soldiers immediately sought out the nearest high ground to climb up, but many still died from being trampled.
"They're heading towards the base," Luo Ning murmured. The children are still there. Although the underground defense camp is very sturdy, she doesn't know if it can withstand so many alien species.
The people in the defense camp listened to the deafening noise outside, their faces pale. They began to embrace their loved ones, some kissing, some saying goodbye, preparing to face death together.
Wenxi was about to comfort the three children, but when she turned around, she saw three small figures holding hands and standing in a circle, quietly and obediently.
At this moment, the alien species that had come to the defense post suddenly began to turn around, circling the defense post in concentric circles, just like the beast tide that had turned around in the satellite images.
“Dr. Ann…” Wen Xi called out.
An Yuan turned around and saw the three children's actions, and immediately understood. Although he didn't know how they had done it without Luo Ning, he immediately put the brainwave enhancement device on them.
“The world is already changing. Even if all the aliens revert to human form, this world will no longer be the same as before,” Han Ling said with a sigh.
An Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's no longer the world it used to be, but I believe it will be a better and more magical world."
Outside the defensive line.
"What's going on? Auntie is still here. What happened?" An Xiaoruo asked, looking at the alien species arranged in concentric circles.
“But Yuan You and Yuan Yan are still here, maybe it’s the two of them, or maybe it’s Wen Xi and Xiao Xiao… Dr. An and the others may have come up with a new plan,” Luo Ning replied.
Three bombers roared in at that moment, ready to drop their lethal weapons.
"Song Pei, have the bombers redirect the backdraft atomizing agent in a concentric circle pattern. The remaining drones and attack helicopters should also redirect the agent," Lu Xinghe said into the communicator.
Song Pei asked, puzzled, "But the outside world is full of alien species."
"Obey my orders and execute them immediately," Lu Xinghe said without further ado.
"Yes." Song Pei then connected with the bomber crew.
The atomized medicine quickly spread through the air, and the aliens rapidly recoiled from the center outwards, transforming into humans and ordinary animals. Having just regained their human form, they collapsed weakly to the ground. Fortunately, the aliens moved in concentric circles, so no chaos or trampling occurred.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Ning wanted to go back. There was still a thorn in her heart, which was Meng Ru, who had not appeared at all.
Several people jumped off the arthropod corpses and quickly darted back among the alien species. They absolutely could not let Meng Ru disrupt the current balance, otherwise all their previous efforts would be in vain.
When they returned to the base, many people and aliens had died outside, but the vast majority of people were still alive, which was the best possible outcome.
Luo Ning couldn't wait to see the two children, and Du Lu also looked around in a daze, taking in this human community full of human presence.
When Lu Xinghe tried to unlock the first lock with his fingerprint, he found that the lock had been forcibly destroyed, and he had a bad feeling.
"Song Pei, there's been an alien invasion. You need to investigate carefully. The enemy is very strong, so don't alert them."
Song Pei immediately looked around warily, but there were people everywhere, and he couldn't find the alien species for the time being.
Lu Xinghe and Luo Ning also entered the defense camp. At this time, they could not openly go to Meng Ru, because if she infected even one person, this place would become hell.
Where is she?
