"what's on your mind?"
Bai Ling walked over and snuggled up to Gu Lingchuan. After a long battle, neither of them smelled very good, but neither of them cared.
"Why hasn't Ling Xiao returned yet? At his speed, he should have been back by now." Gu Lingchuan reached out and gently put his arm around Bai Ling's shoulder.
“He’s with other people, so it’s normal for him to be slower. You’re just worrying too much,” Bai Ling said slowly, her eyes crinkling comfortably.
Gu Lingchuan nodded.
After that, the two stopped talking and quietly enjoyed the peaceful time.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a series of sonic booms. Shooting stars flew backward from the sky, hurtling into the distance before exploding violently.
At this moment, Zheng Guohao also arrived. "Ling Chuan, satellite footage shows a large number of aliens gathering, seemingly preparing for a final attack."
"Several powerful-looking aliens have already pierced through; we can't stop them."
"Okay, tell me your location." Gu Lingchuan instantly understood what the other party meant.
Eight drones made this advance, avoiding the direction where Gu Lingchuan was and rushing straight into the interior. Six of them headed towards the military survivor base, while the remaining two rushed towards the rocket launch site.
This was clearly directed by an intelligent being. Previously, the attacks were chaotic, but this time they were orderly, and the previous arrangements were instantly disrupted.
For a time, the human side was at a disadvantage. This was only because the satellite had detected the aliens gathering in advance. If there had been no information at all, the survivor base would probably have fallen instantly.
As Gu Lingchuan entered within three kilometers of the survivor base, he heard Hua Zhiyuan's voice through his earpiece: "Mr. Gu, we can hold on here. We hope you can help us defend the missile launch site. Please."
Gu Lingchuan agreed without refusing. If the military's survivor base fell, their survivor base wouldn't survive for long either.
Hua Zhiyuan shared a lot of information with him. Gu Lingchuan understood that if humans wanted to survive on a large scale in Lijiang Province, the military could not fall. Currently, their weapons of mass destruction were the main fighting force against zombies and aliens.
Long-range strikes are the military's main means of attack, but with aliens breaking in, small-scale weapons of mass destruction become ineffective, leaving only evolved humans to fight them.
"Captain, ordinary firearms are useless against that guy," the younger soldier said quickly as he reloaded.
"Change to grenade launchers and rocket launchers, damn it, I don't believe we can't blow it up," the captain's voice came through the headset.
"If it weren't for the power shortage, I would have used a drone to crush it." Currently, power is still too scarce, and all power is being prioritized for satellite viewing.
"Tiezhu, stop talking nonsense, we're heading your way." The young soldier, who had just reloaded, pulled the trigger, and the automatic rifle spewed fire.
After firing a few shots, I stopped, afraid of hitting the iron pillar if I continued.
"Come on, you damned thing, you killed so many of my brothers, I'll make you pay with your life, and we'll be brothers again in the next life!" Tie Zhu's furious roar came through the headset.
What are you going to do?
In the darkness, a figure did not retreat in the face of the terrifying-looking alien, but charged straight at it.
The explosion, accompanied by flames, signified the loss of yet another brother.
"Iron Pillar"
"Tiezhu, damn it!"
Seven or eight angry roars came through the headset.
At first, only two aliens rushed in, but after killing several soldiers operating the launch pad, the lack of long-range firepower momentarily allowed more aliens to rush in.
Tie Zhu's self-destructive attack ignited a frenzy among the crowd, and they began to imitate him one by one.
A tragic atmosphere permeated the air. Impulsive? Perhaps, but without impulsiveness, a one-for-one exchange would not have been possible; more people would have died.
When Gu Lingchuan arrived, the horrific scene made his heart tremble; there were fewer than twenty survivors.
Moreover, they were all wrapped in bombs, prepared to die together with each other.
"Get closer to me, don't die!" Gu Lingchuan's mental domain spread out and held back several aliens.
The soldiers also found their opportunity and pulled down their rocket launchers.
Gu Lingchuan cleared a path and gathered all sixteen people together.
With Gu Lingchuan's addition, rocket launchers and other firearms were able to unleash their full power.
"Six people go out and continue attacking the alien I've immobilized, while the rest of you control the missile launch towers to cut off the aliens in the distance," Gu Lingchuan took over command.
The stagnant rocket launch tower continued to spew out meteors. Hua Zhiyuan, watching from the satellite perspective, breathed a sigh of relief. More than half of the firepower had been transported there. If it really fell, it would be a huge blow to the survivor base.
Moreover, that's the front line, and once the front line falls, it's very difficult to hold.
After Gu Lingchuan tore open the breach, Bai Ling, Lin An, and the military's evolved beings and soldiers arrived one after another, and finally managed to hold the position.
An even more dazzling meteor streaked across the sky, and Lijiang University, which had already been bombed once, was bombed again.
This time, a larger explosive yield was used, and the light from the explosion seemed to illuminate the world.
The area where the aliens gathered was completely leveled.
Meanwhile, at the military survivor base, five powerful aliens stormed in.
These aliens all look similar to humans. They were probably human evolutionaries in their previous lives, retaining some of their original superpowers. After being corrupted and mutated, they became even more powerful.
Neither the military nor the official third-stage evolved beings could stand a chance, and they couldn't use weapons of mass destruction to bomb the survivor base.
Fortunately, the thirty-odd evolved beings managed to keep the five aliens at bay, preventing major casualties.
"Can't even beat 30 against 5?" Hua Zhiyuan asked angrily.
"General, most of them are shape-based evolved beings. Even if you use weapons and equipment to get close, you'll be severely injured. You simply can't stop them."
Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice rang out, "Let me do it."
A white figure shot out from a distance, its eight tentacles shooting out like lightning and instantly piercing through an alien.
The sheer force and speed of their attack astonished everyone.
But it had little effect; the alien's right hand, which resembled a cannon barrel, fired a fireball that struck Professor Hua Yansong, who had just arrived.
His entrance was cool, but the way he was blasted away was quite pathetic.
"Nonsense!" Hua Zhiyuan, standing up from the window in the distance, slammed his hand on the table. He never expected that his father would join the battle. He was already over seventy years old, how could he be so unsteady?
But soon his gaze became somewhat vacant, only to see that Professor Hua Yansong had not suffered any serious injuries, except that his hair had been burned and bent.
Her face looked younger than mine, and her completely white hair had turned black.
If this war breaks out, it's really hard to say who will be whose father.
"Have they developed something?"
Actually, there isn't one; it's just that the ratio of super energy to pollution power was found to be just right.
