Even so, the base commander still shouted an order: "Ignore them, they are no longer our comrades. Everyone, continue the attack."
Your homes are right behind you; you must not let a single evil spirit intrude.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mortars deployed behind the bunkers roared in a deep, furious voice, and high-explosive shells exploded into clusters of blazing flowers of death amidst the dense swarm of fog ghosts!
The massive shockwave tore the infected and the fog ghosts apart like rag dolls, leaving behind charred craters filled with smoke and bloody remains.
Incendiary bombs followed closely behind, their viscous flames spreading out and igniting a large area, turning the surging figures into wildly writhing torches that emitted shrill, inhuman howls.
The air was filled with the nauseating smell of burning flesh.
But all of this still couldn't stop the ever-growing tide of fog ghosts!
The large number of fog demons behind them tread on the broken corpses and burning ashes of the infected in front, stepping through the sticky, slippery swamp of flesh and blood, and still surged forward relentlessly!
They rammed against the outer barbed wire and roadblocks, scratching at the heavy alloy gate with their thick claws, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound!
The defensive line trembled under immense pressure! The soldiers, relying on sandbag cover and firing ports, fired wildly, their guns spitting fire, their faces blackened by gunpowder smoke, their eyes bloodshot, roaring as they emptied magazine after magazine.
During this time, medics shuttled back and forth behind the bunkers, dragging wounded soldiers away; the stench of blood was so strong it was almost suffocating.
"Hold on! Hold on for me!"
"Grenade! Right flank breach! Quick!"
"Rocket launcher! Behind that pile of corpses! They're forming a human wall! Blow it up!"
The commanding officer's roar sounded hoarse and strained amidst the roar of gunfire.
Xiao Jin's gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield with the precision of a scanner. However, she did not make a move, nor did the other players.
Because the attackers right now are just ordinary Mist Demons, and the more troublesome opponents haven't appeared yet!
Suddenly, Xiao Jin's gaze sharpened! It locked onto the flank of the battlefield, in a thick cloud of smoke and shadows billowing from the explosion!
Several ghostly shadows, taking advantage of the thick smoke, moved silently and swiftly across the ground like giant bats flying close to the ground, so fast that they left only blurry afterimages under the searchlight beams!
They avoided the area with the densest firepower at the main gate and instead targeted a relatively weak defensive node on the side, consisting of heavy machine guns and several automatic turrets!
Special Fog Demons! And there's more than one!
Their appearance is far more ferocious than that of ordinary mist ghosts! They are larger in size, covered with dark purple, hardened keratin-like carapaces, and sharp bone spurs protrude from their joints.
One of its arms has mutated into a huge, scythe-shaped bone blade with edges that gleam with a metallic sheen.
On its other back, several thick, writhing, dark red fleshy tubes bulged, with dangerously gleaming jets at their ends.
There was another one that was relatively slender, but whose movement was unpredictable, and whose body was surrounded by a force field ripples of distorted light!
"Finally here," Xiao Jin's icy voice was as clear as an ice bead falling onto a jade plate.
However, the NPCs couldn't hear it, but the other players could.
"Not only that, there are more over there." The black-armored man not far from Xiao Jin gestured with his chin toward his right rear.
That's interesting. Ever since completing the side quest, this person has acted completely differently when facing Xiao Jin. He's stopped pretending to be aloof and even greeted Xiao Jin in a friendly manner.
However, this only applied to Xiao Jin himself; he ignored other players in the same way.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!
The mist demon carrying the dark red fleshy tube on its back suddenly stopped, and the fleshy tube on its back instantly swelled and shone!
Buzz—!
A deep yet penetrating energy hum rang out, and several viscous, dark red energy streams shot out like high-pressure water jets, slamming hard against the steel wall!
Sizzle—! A piercing corrosive sound rang out! The solid steel wall shook violently instantly, and the area hit quickly thinned and turned black!
"Oh no! The B7 passage gate has been attacked by an unknown energy source, and the building is damaged!" A terrified scream came through the communication channel.
Just as the invisible gate shattered, the Mist Demon, whose arms transformed into giant scythes, let out a sharp screech and its body became a purple lightning bolt that tore through the air, rushing straight towards the unprotected heavy machine gun fortress!
The massive scythe, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, fell like the guillotine of death!
boom!!!
The sturdy reinforced concrete fortress was sliced open like paper! Smoke and dust mixed with shattered concrete blocks and soldiers' mangled limbs exploded violently! The roar of the heavy machine guns came to an abrupt halt!
"ah--!"
"Stop it! Stop it now!"
The soldiers' screams and terrified cries were drowned out.
The elusive mist ghost appeared like an invisible phantom, instantly appearing beside the base of the automatic turret. Its claws, rippled with force fields, gently brushed against the turret's metal shell.
A series of blinding sparks flashed, instantly paralyzing the entire turret, its muzzle drooping limply!
Within seconds, the defensive firepower of node B7 was torn open by these three special fog demons with lightning speed, creating a huge gap!
"Fire! Focus fire! Take them down!" Nearby soldiers and the remaining automatic weapons poured fire into the breach.
However, the force field ripples around the elusive mist demon suddenly spread out, forming a distorted barrier.
Instantly, the bullets and energy beams fired at it seemed to be stuck in quagmire, their trajectories deviating strangely, hitting nothing or being deflected!
The Scythe Mist Demon wielded its massive bone blade, easily deflecting the stray bullets, and charged toward the soldiers behind cover at full speed!
The soldiers' faces drained of color instantly, and despair overwhelmed them like a cold tide!
The base commander, standing atop the platform, leaned forward, gripping the railing tightly with his hands. His face behind the protective shield was obscure.
She then subconsciously glanced at the players, a hint of anxiety appearing in her eyes.
Why haven't they made a move yet?!
Just as the Scythe Mist Demon's massive, deathly gleaming bone blade was about to slice several soldiers in half at the waist behind the cover.
At the critical moment, a figure, like a silver lightning bolt tearing through the night sky, leaped down from a towering defensive tower platform above and to the side!
It's Xiao Jin!
Her movements were so fast that they exceeded the limits of visual perception!
While in mid-air, he swung his sword downwards with his right hand. Immediately, a huge silver moon condensed from the void, carrying an overwhelming and fierce momentum, and slashed towards the scythe-wielding mist demon.
