"What's going on? My powers aren't that strong, how come I have Thor's hammer?"
No.7 stared incredulously at everything before him, muttering to himself. Little did he know that his lightning powers were nothing compared to Ye Lei's.
"Hmm, not bad. Let's see how the queen ant plans next."
Ye Lei was quite satisfied with killing a Corpse King after attacking the Hidden Ape King; it seemed the Ape King had grown stronger.
On the other hand, the ant queen was also shocked by the scene before her. She had not expected that these fragile humans would possess such powerful zombies.
It immediately signaled its ant army to retreat and prepare to rearrange its forces. Upon receiving the order, the ant army retreated as a whole by 30 meters.
"Yes! We did it!"
Deputy Captain Liu excitedly pumped his fist as he watched the ant army retreat.
"Yes, very good."
Zhang Shaohua nodded in satisfaction, unaware that it was all thanks to Ye Lei.
"Vice Captain Liu, you, the No. 7 Thunder Warrior, have really done a great job this time!"
Zhang Shaohua praised it.
"Major Zhang, you must be mistaken. No. 7 doesn't have that much ability!"
Deputy Captain Liu said with a smile that he was the only one who had spent the most time with Ye Lei and knew his abilities best.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"The lightning at the beginning was indeed No. 7's ability, but the double lightning and Thor's hammer that followed were all Ye Lei's handiwork!"
Deputy Captain Liu explained.
"Ah! So that's how it is. Ye Lei has become this powerful? He's truly not to be underestimated. Could that gorilla also be his?"
"It should be. This is the first time I've seen it too. Didn't you see that giant python over there? It should also be his. You can tell from its crystal core that it's already a Corpse King."
"What? The Corpse King? He can actually control the Corpse King?"
Zhang Shaohua felt a sense of dread. In his mind, if Ye Lei could not be used by the army, that would be the greatest threat.
"Yes, I heard that the Corpse King can communicate with people and possesses human intelligence!"
It seems that Deputy Captain Liu knows quite a lot.
"Understood. You need to maintain closer contact with him from now on. If there are any unusual developments, report them to me immediately, understand?"
"yes"
Zhang Shaohua said seriously that in his mind, any powerful non-military personnel could be a deadly threat.
On the other side, the queen ant and her ant kings gathered together, waving their antennae as if discussing their next move. Their bodies emitted a nauseating stench of death and decay.
After a brief but tense discussion, several ant kings climbed to the front line, clearly realizing that ordinary soldiers alone could not defeat the despicable humans before them.
Led by the ant queen, the ant army readjusted its tactics and formed a new charge formation. Their steps were uniform, just like a well-trained army.
The air was thick with fear, and everyone could feel the pressure of the impending battle. The soldiers gripped their weapons, ready to face this life-or-death struggle.
Suddenly, the ant army let out a deep roar, as awe-inspiring as thunder. They all took steps forward and charged forward, forming a surging torrent.
The soldiers stared wide-eyed at the swarming ant-like zombies, a sense of despair rising in their hearts, but they still gripped their weapons tightly, ready to fight the enemy to the death.
A thrilling and fierce battle is about to unfold...
"Everyone, get ready!"
Zhang Shaohua watched the menacing army of black ants. This time, their movement speed was significantly faster than before. It turned out they wanted to take over this place through a quick victory.
"Click...thump thump..."
After a brief rest, the soldiers' weapons were reloaded with bullets and were ready to receive Zhang Shaohua's orders at any time.
Just as the ant-zombie army was about 50 meters away from the underground city, entering the range of various light and heavy weapons, Zhang Shaohua raised his right arm and swung it down hard.
"beat!"
At a command, guns roared, and rockets, bullets, and grenades flew like meteors towards the ant-zombie army. In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and explosions resounded through the heavens.
The ordinary ant zombies were blasted into the air by the powerful impact, then crashed heavily to the ground, colliding with other ant zombies and instantly becoming mangled and bloody.
However, the ant zombies did not retreat due to the fierce attack; instead, they accelerated their advance, surging forward wave after wave.
Soon, the small mountain of ant zombies continued to grow taller. These disgusting creatures released large amounts of yellow liquid during the battle, which flew everywhere and emitted a pungent odor, as if it were a deadly poison gas.
Faced with this terrifying scene, the soldiers continued to fight bravely, but a sense of fear and unease welled up in their hearts. They realized that this battle would be exceptionally difficult, and the enemy's tenacity was beyond their imagination.
As the ant-zombie army charged relentlessly, getting closer and closer to the underground city—only about 20 meters away—it was time for the five warriors to step in. Otherwise, the place would soon be overrun.
"No. 8, get ready to go on stage."
At a loud shout from Deputy Captain Liu, Ice Warrior stepped forward. He had been ready for this moment all along!
No.8's palm began to grow cold, as if covered by a layer of frost. Then, he began to slowly move his palm, as if he were shaping an invisible object.
As the hand moved, tiny ice crystals began to condense in the air. They floated in the air, shimmering with a cold light. These ice crystals gradually gathered together to form a huge ice ball.
No. 8's face showed a focused expression. His eyes were fixed on the ice puck, and his palm continued to move. The ice puck began to spin, and the speed increased until it turned into an ice whirlwind.
Suddenly, No.8 waved his hand, and an ice whirlwind erupted instantly, shooting countless ice arrows forward. These ice arrows drew cold trajectories in the air and rushed straight towards their target.
When the ice arrow struck the ant zombie, it exploded instantly, creating a cloud of icy mist that rapidly spread, freezing everything around it. Trees, grass, and even the air were frozen in this chilling aura, forming a world of ice and snow.
This brought a touch of coolness to the scorching hot air; however, under the intense sunlight, the ice quickly turned into water vapor.
Most unexpectedly, flames suddenly erupted from the ant-zombie army, and the ice arrows that hadn't yet hit the ant-zombies vanished in mid-air.
