Chapter 67 Puppet Master



The essence of Fresnel's ability is to control the refractive index of air within a certain range, forming a lens with extremely strong light-gathering ability to roast the strange beasts.

The "Blindness" that fights with them is a more auxiliary ability. It can plunder some of the senses of some creatures in range and enhance its own observation range.

The plundered objects will become deaf and blind, and will be killed by concentrated fire in the panic of suddenly losing their senses.

The three of them were fighting on the front line on the side of the city wall. Although the beast tide here was not as fierce as the frontal one, they could not take it lightly.

Fresnel's killing efficiency is not inferior to that guy in Team 6 who can make fireballs. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he wants to improve the team's ranking.

The sunlight in a large area above the city wall was weakened to varying degrees, and in front of Fresnel it seemed as if a long sword made of gathered light appeared, cutting the body of every strange beast that dared to approach.

The insects born from the blue cocoons could still hold on for a while thanks to their hard shells, but the strange beasts born from the green cocoons, their seemingly thick skin quickly turned black and carbonized under the high temperature, and their internal organs in the chest and abdomen were roasted into corpses.

Occasionally, a monster would be missed, and Wang Xiao and "Zhanmu" would work together to kill it.

Wang Xiao had already entered the second energy level in the previous events. At this time, his ability [Flesh and Blood-Transformation] was maximized, making him a truly complete body.

The strengthened heart and lungs brought more sufficient blood and oxygen circulation, making him almost incapable of feeling tired. The muscles hidden beneath his combat suit were like spring steel containing enormous energy, which could directly smash the heads of every alien beast.

The "beacon" in the distance was nodding its head unconsciously, muttering to itself:

"This new guy is quite handsome~"

No one else heard her words. The puppeteer beside her interrupted her reverie and pointed to a bug-like monster with four sickle limbs not far away:

"Sister Beacon, this is it."

Beacon looked sideways and soon found the strange beast that the puppeteer pointed at, which looked like an orchid mantis. She nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It should be the more powerful one among the second energy level. This is it."

As she spoke, she raised her hands and focused her invisible power on the insect-like beast in the distance, while the puppeteer beside her stared at the beast with strange patterns.

Finally, at a certain moment, the puppeteer's eyes and the two fist-sized compound eyes of the insect-like beast met each other for a moment, and the puppeteer's body quickly collapsed and fell onto the cushion that had been prepared long ago.

The insect-like beast that was already emitting fluorescent light dozens of meters away shuddered as if a basin of cold water was poured on its head.

As hundreds of soldiers watched, the insect-like beast jumped several meters high on the spot, then turned its body nimbly. One of its sharp claws cut through the air and beheaded a beast that had just climbed up the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall opened their mouths involuntarily as they looked at the head flying high in the air and the colorful blood spurting out higher than the head because of the bloody teeth.

"What are you looking at? Keep firing, and be careful not to accidentally injure friendly forces!"

The commander of the city defense team shouted orders over the loudspeaker.

In the cooperation between the city defense team and the super-powered people, the city defense team plays an obvious auxiliary role. Their role is to consume the manpower of the alien beasts through fire suppression at the beginning, clean up the ones that escape the various strange attacks of the super-powered people, and act as the meat shield that humans hope for when necessary.

The orchid mantis brandished four long swords and started killing people on the side of the city wall. Wherever the sharp blades passed, either beheading or cutting people in half. Many strange beasts were cut off as soon as they got their two claws stuck on the top of the city wall, and finally could only fall into the city howling.

Many insects and strange beasts howled sharply at the orchid mantis, and the mantis fought back without giving in. Then, a dozen insects and strange beasts started a bloody fight on the city wall.

The puppeteer who controlled the body of the strange beast was like a child who had gotten a new toy, and his previous gentle temperament was completely gone.

When the blade slices through the enemy's body, the mantis always makes a strange sound.

Wang Xiao always felt that it contained joy from the heart.

At this point, Fresnel's 25th Squad has been fully formed. He is responsible for long-range attacks, the Puppet Master drives the mecha at the front to attract firepower, the beacon uses enhanced vision to command and report while marking friendly units, and Wang Xiao is responsible for protecting the Puppet Master's body as well as the obstacle and beacon whose close-range combat capabilities are relatively low.

Before Wang Xiao joined, the team's combat effectiveness was actually not weak, but Fresnel's ability had a very obvious weakness, which was that it had very demanding requirements for the environment.

Cloudy days and rain will greatly weaken the power of his light blade, and night battles are out of the question.

The addition of Wang Xiao has, to a certain extent, added a supporting C to the team, making the teammates feel more at ease in all aspects.

Above the city wall, the fierce battle was still going on. The corpses of the strange beasts piled up into a small hill below the city, and their blood gathered into streams. In such an environment that was almost a sea of corpses and blood, one, no, two cat heads poked out from the disgusting corpses.

The two-headed cat didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky. It had avoided being possessed by insect-like monsters due to its small size, but it was knocked down again and again when it followed the large group to climb the city wall.

It also didn't know what was happening today to its fellow tree climbers, who were usually good at climbing trees.

Most of the companions who fell from the city wall had already died. Even if they were alive, it would be difficult for them to tell the two-headed cat that there was a traitor up there through body language and roars.

As for the two-headed cat itself, it seemed that because one of its heads was hit when it fell from a tree when it was just born, it was always more clear-headed than its companions while accepting the orders of the mysterious voice.

The two-headed cat looked up at the city wall and felt a deep fear.

Just as it was hesitating whether to climb up, the familiar sound of whistling wind came closer and closer.

The two-headed cat felt something was wrong.

The next second, a huge black shadow passed by the ground, and it was the three-headed eagle beast with a wingspan of nearly ten meters.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen green and blue cocooned beasts attached to his body. Some of them were caught in his claws, while others seemed to have taken the initiative to hitchhike on the three-headed eagle.

This strange beast, born in a purple cocoon, had five or six extremely sharp claws under its dense feathers. One of its claws swept across the pile of corpses under the city wall and grabbed a dozen corpses of strange beasts above, along with the trembling two-headed cat.

“Meow!!!!”
