Chapter 397 Joint Resistance
The swarm of corpse spiders around them quickly launched an attack, hanging from the dead trees on both sides and leaping into the crowd.
At the same time, the soldiers on the outermost perimeter also began firing!
"Da da da da da..."
Bullets flew out of the barrel one after another, and in just a moment, swarms of spiders fell to the ground in front of the crowd.
On the other side, Han Shuo also pulled out a rifle.
When he fired the first shot, he discovered that although these necromancy spiders were not small, their defense was extremely low.
A single bullet is enough to blow it up.
The battle began instantly!
...
"Quick! Keep firing, don't let the swarm of zombie spiders get close!"
Yu Qing's shout rang out from the crowd.
She organized her guards to fire in an orderly fashion. They didn't need to aim; they just needed to point their guns forward and keep pulling the triggers to easily slaughter the zombie spiders in front of them.
In this way, they kept the circle of death at least 10 meters away.
Gunshots echoed along the path, and filthy liquid splattered everywhere. Because there were so many dead, necromancy spiders, the air was soon filled with a pungent odor.
But this stalemate was soon broken.
Because, even amidst a hail of bullets, when faced with such a massive swarm of zombie spiders, many still managed to slip through the gaps in the bullets.
The moment they entered their attack range, screams of agony rang out continuously from the crowd.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
In a short time, dozens of people were torn apart by the corpse spiders.
However, despite their large size, these corpse spiders do not carry any other particularly deadly viruses besides the Ice Crystal Virus.
The people here have all received inhibitors.
That is why, although the dozens of people who were bitten were seriously injured, none of them died on the spot.
...
"Team 3! Go quickly and support the ordinary survivors!"
"yes!"
Yu Qing reacted quickly, issuing timely orders and dispatching a team of soldiers to provide support.
Before long, the necromancy spiders in the crowd were dealt with.
This creature is numerous, but its individual combat ability is very weak.
However, the situation has not improved; on the contrary, it has become increasingly dire.
Because the situation here had just been resolved, many more ghoul spiders from other areas rushed into the crowd.
In less than a minute, the number of injured people reached more than 100!
...
On the front lines of the battlefield, Cheng Shenghong's complexion grew increasingly grim, and he turned and shouted.
"Brother Han, this won't do. These corpse spiders seem endless. Their stiffening is very disadvantageous to us!"
After slaying a lunging, corpse-like spider with his Tang sword, Han Shuo took a moment to respond.
"I know, but we can't let our firepower drop right now, and there's no way to break through. Let's take care of ourselves first, and let Brother Qingyu figure out the rest!"
"Alright! Brothers, let's kill!"
At this moment, Han Shuo and his group were also extremely busy.
He led four of the more outstanding fighters—Fatty, Xiao Zhao, and Cheng Shenghong—to the forefront of the team.
The four of them had switched from guns to melee weapons, which would be more effective in dealing with the zombie spiders that pounced from the air.
The fat man abandoned his shield and axe, and instead pulled out a dagger.
Although he wasn't used to it, he was still a genetically evolved human at level 3, and could achieve the same instant kill effect.
It was precisely because of the four of them holding off the enemy that, for such a long time, not a single corpse spider had come close to them.
...
The remaining Li Shurou and the others continued to fire their guns.
Li Shurou finally got her wish today. She took a break and ran to the truck next to her, and took out her treasured Gatling gun.
Their own truck was always at the front of the line.
She fired wildly in all directions, the spent cartridges forming a line, constantly clattering to the ground.
To be honest, with so many people present, if we're talking about kill rankings, she could definitely be in the top three.
After all, she's probably the only one who would pull out a Gatling gun at the start of a war...
Although Chen Hai had never fought before, he had no choice but to pick up his gun and go into battle despite his fear in this critical moment.
Because he knew that Han Shuo's team didn't like to keep idle people, and he didn't want to be someone who held everyone back.
He didn't know how to use a gun, but fortunately, his marksmanship didn't need to be very accurate at this moment. As long as he didn't point the gun at friendly forces, he could kill the enemy as long as he knew how to pull the trigger.
...
If there was anyone who was the most relaxed person present, it would undoubtedly be the wind.
He was currently free to move around, alone, standing not far from Han Shuo and the others.
Whenever a zombie spider is about to pounce on him, a flash of white light will appear.
Then, the corpse spider will split in two from the middle of its body and fall to the ground.
When the wind stopped, he would always turn his head expressionlessly and look around. He was always on guard for Han Shuo and the others, watching out for that human-faced corpse spider from earlier...
...
Meanwhile, while Qingyu was fighting off enemies at the front of the group, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Feng to her side out of the corner of her eye.
After witnessing his elegant and fluid movements, he was almost speechless with astonishment.
"Wow! This man in white is incredibly strong. I didn't even see him raise his hand, and the Corpse Spider died right in front of him."
"Who exactly is this person?!"
"And Han Shuo! You brat, how many secrets have you been hiding from me?!"
Although Qingyu was extremely surprised, he had no time to think about it anymore.
After all, they are still in dire straits.
Seeing the growing chaos in the crowd behind him, he knew he had to adjust everyone's tactics.
The next second, he pulled out a grenade and threw it forward. After relieving his stress, he focused his attention on the direction of the wind blowing in the air.
After confirming that the wind was blowing backwards and that the fire wouldn't reach them immediately, he quickly turned around and shouted.
"Fire! Everyone, fire!"
As soon as the sound fell, the soldiers reacted swiftly, throwing incendiary bombs into the swarm of zombie spiders.
As the incendiary bomb ignited the zombie spider, the fire quickly spread to the rear.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
In less than a minute, large swaths of dead trees on both sides were set ablaze.
Amidst the sea of fire, the crackling and popping sounds of burning could be heard incessantly, accompanied by the hissing sound of water gushing from the bellies of the corpse spiders.
The pressure on everyone instantly decreased. With the fire walls on both sides providing cover, the corpse spiders were burned to death in the sea of fire before they could even pounce.
Once the situation improved, they only needed to face attacks from the front and rear along the path.
However, at that moment, a pair of purple pupils vaguely appeared behind the sea of fire.
The human-faced corpse spider has reappeared!
