Chapter 37 Team Battle
The helicopter flew all the way to the headquarters.
The driver is a military A-level psychic.
Qi He sat in the co-pilot seat to facilitate the acceleration of the helicopter, and the other two sat in the back seat.
He looked down through the porthole: "Sir, can you sense the gathering tide of mutants below?"
“Not yet.”
Qi He placed his hand on the windowsill. The three bases were extremely far apart, and the mutants did not currently have the ability to command and mobilize such a large area.
The probability of a feint to the east and attack in the west should be extremely small.
"But we've been away for quite some time." Guan Shangchun hesitated again, "We can't guarantee what will happen next..."
"The base has entered a state of full defense," said Qi He.
Whether it was Base I or the headquarters, both crises were due to unpreparedness. After the last mutant invasion, Base I rebuilt its surface and underground defense network.
Moreover, You Tianxing and other people with special abilities are here.
Guan Shangchun breathed a sigh of relief. "So there's no problem?"
Qi He looked ahead and said nothing.
Two seconds later, Yan Chuanbai, who had been silent the whole time, spoke: "Even if there are problems, we must fully support the headquarters—"
His profile was reflected in the sky outside the porthole, and his usual coldness revealed an unquestionable attitude.
"Once the heart stops functioning, it's only a matter of time before the remaining defenses are overwhelmed."
In the quiet cabin, the pilot got goosebumps.
Suddenly, a hand patted him: "Be mentally prepared."
The pilot was horrified, "...are you ready to be defeated?"
The next moment, the helicopter suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the headquarters.
Qi He, "Prepare to sprint."
Since you are worried, let's make a quick decision.
…
An hour later, we finally reached the headquarters.
A solid high wall stood ahead.
From afar, one could see a black mass below, mutants surging towards the base like a surging tide of ants. Artillery fire raged on the front lines, and the two sides had already begun fighting.
As we got closer, the scene below came into view.
Qi He's breathing suddenly stopped for a moment.
No wonder headquarters issued a support alert.
——This wave includes not only mutants invading from underground, but also waves of zombies besieging from the ground.
The helicopter has flown to the rear battlefield.
Yan Chuanbai's eyes fell, and he suddenly stood up, "Stop here and prepare to land."
The pilot was hovering in the air, sweating, "There's no way to land here."
"No need." He unbuckled the seat belt at his side.
The hatch was open and a strong wind rushed in.
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai put on their headphones and tuned them to the same frequency. He stood at the door and turned around and said, "Officer, you stay up there and report anytime."
Guan Shangchun grabbed the bulkhead handrail and said, "Okay."
The driver was shocked: "Wait! Are you going to--"
Yan Chuanbai stood behind Qi He without changing his expression, wearing only a regular tactical sling and a loaded gun.
Qi He grabbed the boarding gate, his T-shirt flapping in the wind. He let go and jumped from a hundred meters high: "Jump—"
Like a flying bird falling.
Another figure followed without hesitation.
On the high walls of the headquarters, on the battlefield below.
The attention of the military personnel guarding the front lines and the S-class psychics deployed on the battlefield was drawn away, and they were all startled:
That is...
Admiral Gong concentrated. "We've already reached Base II? No...they arrived first, the more distant Base I!?"
Boom——!!!
A huge force blew open the area, forcibly clearing a space around the landing point. Qi He, holding a gun in one hand, slammed down a zombie that rushed below, and clenched his other hand in the air.
Plop. The two of them cushioned their movements and landed steadily.
A layer of ice spread out from under the feet, covering the surroundings, slowing down the movements of the zombies and the attacks from underground.
Yan Chuanbai swept his gun.
Amidst the flames, a row of zombies fell to the ground without wasting a single bullet.
On the high wall, everyone was stunned for a moment by the sight of the two men charging into the zombie tide. Then, "Okay!" General Gong's blood boiled, as if he had gained a strong support. He quickly gave the order:
"The headquarters operations team is heading to the rear to reunite."
"Increase firepower on both wings to cover Base I!"
-
Qi He had just cleared the area around him when he noticed the shift of firepower on the battlefield.
At the same time, three figures approached them.
He glanced up at the high wall: It seemed that the military had adjusted its tactics to accommodate their joining.
The three people on the opposite side quickly approached.
Only S-class dared to go into battle alone. Qi He looked away as he fought: all of them were faces he had seen at the assessment ceremony. The two 3S-class warriors happened to be combat-type. The one who had challenged him was a wood-type mutant, and his ID card read: Yang Cheng.
Another 3S-level is a Fire type, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel;
There is also a 2S level, whose superpower is body transformation, which is considered a meat shield type auxiliary combat system.
There is some cooperation between the three, but it is also a conventional style of play.
The opponent had never cooperated with them before, and they belonged to different bases, so there was no communication for a while.
Qi He withdrew his gaze and shot them one by one.
The fire element glanced at him, then gently withdrew his eyes: he seemed to feel that as a super 4S level performance, it was neither good nor bad.
[…You, are you just going to fight normally like this?]
The system was a little unaccustomed to it: [Your third evolutionary power, aren't you going to use it?]
"No need." Qi He casually crushed a mutant vine, "There's already enough to use here."
[? Where is enough...]
Before the system finished speaking, another propeller sound was heard.
The helicopter overhead whipped up a gust of wind, its hatch opening and sending Gong Lianyu's short, golden-brown hair flying. He looked down and said, "Wow... Base I is incredible! They arrived here before us!"
He snapped his fingers and said, "Qi He! Lend me your supernatural power."
Then, he and Xi Moqing from 3S also jumped down.
With two plops, two people joined the battlefield.
Qi He glanced at the two of them, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt his mental energy recharge! His teammates' vision and hearing were focused on each other, amplified several times.
He looked up, as if sensing something, and met a face revealed in front of the hatch of Base II. The girl's long hair fluttered in the wind, her face calm, and one hand extended—
S-class psychic, combat support, five senses amplified.
Qi He turned his attention back to the battlefield, curled his lips slightly, and said to the system:
"Now, the conditions are sufficient."
…
The addition of "one and a half" combat systems has reduced the pressure on the field.
Xi Moqing stood behind Qi He.
He was wearing a neat military uniform, with a cold expression on his face. He simply held a gun in his hand and fired every bullet accurately.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
Qi He heard the sound and his heart moved.
He glanced at it and quickly learned about Xi Moqing's ability: Metal Element. After reaching level 3S, he could generate bullets out of thin air.
A born soldier, his pistol is never empty.
On the other side, Gong Lianyu used Qi He's "power" to kill people. He was a talkative person, and he relied on the fact that he was the son of a general and would not be beaten to death. At this moment, he kept talking:
"Is this the mutant that attacked you earlier?"
A mutant vine covered in sharp teeth burst through the ground beneath his feet. He ducked in surprise, "...Holy crap! How did you wipe it out?"
"Want to know?"
As Qi He finished speaking, a blaze of fire erupted from the other side. On the ground, the ice layer covered by Yan Chuanbai had not yet melted. He warned the other side, "Be careful and retreat."
Before anyone could react, he pulled it open.
The 3S-level Fire Element was stunned for a moment. The next second, a series of explosions rang out in front of him:
Boom! Boom! Boom! —
The massive energy explosion caused everyone on the battlefield to pause for a moment, looking sideways in shock.
…what happened?
On the distant high wall, the military personnel were also drawn to the huge commotion. The lieutenant general beside him frowned, "Is it a fire ability?"
"No." Admiral Gong frowned, "It's the fire ability that was utilized." He didn't have time to think about how it was done, but this kind of power could only come from the only super 4S level - Qi He.
He took a deep breath and said, "Young people are formidable."
-
In the field, the 3S-level fire-type looked at Qi He with a slightly different look.
Qi He blasted a group of mutants.
He heard Guan Shangchun's report: "At 10 o'clock, a large wave of zombies are gathering from that direction."
He quickly said to the Fire 3S, "Your 1 o'clock, another fire."
The opponent paused for only a moment before his supernatural power exploded—
Boom!!! Another wave of large-scale strangulation.
Nearby, Yan Chuanbai glanced at the already obedient 3S Lieutenant General, then returned his gaze to Qi He, with a slight smile on his face. He quickly withdrew his gaze and raised his hand.
An extremely cold and murderous atmosphere extended to the surroundings.
White frost covered the mutants and zombies.
Yan Chuanbai didn't freeze the underground layer here - just like last time, he couldn't force the mutants to the base. He only covered the ground with a thin layer of ice to slow down the attack and give his teammates time to react.
Vines were still emerging from beneath the ice.
brush--
A piece of metal spike condensed, with the tip pointing downwards.
Suddenly, Guan Shangjun's voice came from the headset: "At three o'clock, 28 meters, there are reproductive buds breaking through the soil."
Qi He turned his gaze and saw the area just behind the barb.
He didn't give any instructions to Xi Moqing, but just gave a push.
The barb suddenly moved sideways.
Beneath his military cap, Xi Moqing's expression froze for a moment. The next second, as the mutant strain broke through the soil, the spike dropped with pinpoint precision! With a swish... it pierced the throbbing, reproductive pod.
At the end of the meal, Qi He of the Qing Dynasty looked over.
After two seconds, the metal spike was pulled out again. He asked, "Where else?"
While Qi He was blasting the blaster, he followed the instructions from Guan Shangchun in his earpiece, repeating almost in unison: "Your direction is 10 o'clock, 15 meters; your direction is 11 o'clock, 20 meters; your direction is 3 to 6 o'clock, 40 meters in the fan-shaped range..."
Xi Moqing attacked without hesitation.
…
In the dazzling battle situation, Qi He took care of both ends.
When he occasionally had no time to report a point, Yan Chuanbai quickly filled in. There were subtle signs of coordination between the three bases.
After another explosion, Gong Lianyu suddenly shouted, "Fuck!"
He turned around and yelled, "I'm cool!"
Everyone paused: "..."
Qi He quickly glanced at the surrounding situation and said, "Go to the security breach that just happened at your 5 o'clock position. Use your tank to block it for him."
The S-level meat shield quickly rushed over to protect Gong Lianyu.
Qi He asked: "How long have you used it and how long is its CD?"
Gong Lianyu hid behind the tank shield, feeling extremely safe. "It's easy to remember. 40 minutes to use, 10 minutes to cool down. Just like class and recess."
“…”
On the high wall, General Gong also breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a lie to say I'm not worried. This cooldown period is like throwing an ordinary person into an S-level battlefield.
But Qi He protected the person without any error.
The white figure shuttled back and forth across the battlefield, seemingly possessing an inexplicable pull. Without forcing anything, he could make everyone unconsciously follow his lead.
——Like an invisible commander-in-chief on the battlefield.
General Gong made a decision in an instant.
The battlefield was not the time to worry about command. As the commander of the entire battle, his job was to mobilize firepower and coordinate with the main force to maximize effectiveness.
This is the optimal solution.
He gave the order without hesitation: "Provide fire support to the rear battlefield and connect to the helicopter communication between bases I and II."
"Everything on the rear battlefield must cooperate with Qi He's strategy."
-
The battlefield in the rear is now centered on Qi He.
With large-scale explosions and point-to-point strangulation, most of the battlefield was cleared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gong Lianyu breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be over within an hour. The headquarters is safe."
Xi Moqing fired several shots in quick succession: "Don't be careless."
Gong Lianyu shook his head: "Tsk, so rigid."
Qi He took a quick look and realized that at this rate, the battle would be over in about an hour. The situation began to tilt in their favor, and everyone's nerves gradually relaxed.
Suddenly, the voice in the headset tightened: "Wait."
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai paused at the same time.
"how?"
There was silence in my ears for a few seconds, only the sound of breathing.
Then, Guan Shangjun's voice, as if trying hard to remain steady, came over: "Follow us, 15km away... a wave of flying zombies is approaching."
Qi He's heart suddenly hit him!
He paused subtly, and before he could cooperate with the S-class Fire Element, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
He calmed down and looked towards the field. "Fifteen kilometers to the rear, a wave of flying zombies is gathering."
Everyone's movements froze as if they had been electrocuted.
If they were attacked from the sky, the ground, and the underground, even if they were S-rank, they would be swallowed up in the tide of corpses.
At the same time, the alarm on the high wall in the distance also sounded!
Fighter jets were urgently dispatched and hovered in the air.
Qi He glanced over there: ordinary weapons against a tide of flying zombies would almost be suicide.
He thought for a moment and said into the headset, "Send the plane from headquarters back."
"What?"
"…What?"
The sounds in the headphones and on the battlefield rang out simultaneously.
Qi He asked Guan Shangchun again, "How long will it take?"
But as soon as the question was finished, he knew there was no need to ask. With the naked eye, the flying zombies appeared from the sky behind them like a dark cloud, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Guan Shangjun: "At most... 2 minutes."
The battle on the field has not stopped yet, and the enemy in the distance is about to arrive.
Qi He took a deep breath and turned around: "Gong Lianyu, how long will your CD last?"
Gong Lianyu clasped his hands together behind the human shield: "3 minutes! 3 minutes!"
"No, 2 minutes and 48 seconds!"
As they spoke, the zombie tide came closer.
Qi He turned back and stared at the dark sky above: They were still on the battlefield. As everyone knew, zombies could only completely lose their mobility when their brains were damaged.
He suddenly called out, "Yang Cheng, ask me to go up."
Yang Cheng was stunned when he was suddenly called.
The experience of being slapped in the face seemed to be still fresh in his mind. He held his breath and looked at Qi He for two seconds, then gritted his teeth:
“…How high!”
"As high as possible."
The wood-type ability was fully mobilized, and the entire ground seemed to be surging. The previously necrotic vines all gathered together again and twisted together at this moment.
boom--
A giant vine rises from under his feet!
Like a command tower, it lifted Qi He hundreds of meters into the air. He stood alone on the battlefield, facing the flying zombies coming towards him.
The command authority below has been taken over by Yan Chuanbai.
The ice-type supernatural power broke through the air and blocked a wave of attacks for Yang Cheng.
High in the sky, Qi He looked straight ahead.
He no longer needed to divert his energy to control his gravity and could concentrate on preparing to face the new enemy.
The front is densely packed, like a swarm of locusts.
Qi He's CD countdown for Gong Lianyu never stopped——
30 seconds left...
The flying zombie tide is approaching.
Qi He turned around and said to the psychic in the other helicopter, "Focus their auditory perception on me for 30 seconds."
The girl was startled, raised her hands, and concentrated.
15 seconds left...
The zombie tide is approaching.
Qi He raised his arms and exerted great force, stopping the zombie in its tracks, stopping it dozens of meters away.
5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds...1 second.
His voice reached below: "Gong Lianyu, copy the metal ability, and snipe the flying zombies with me. The rest of you, hold the ground."
A hint of metallic luster emerged from Gong Lianyu's fingertips.
At the same time, he was pulled to the front of the battlefield.
Gong Lianyu understood it almost instantly, and exerted his supernatural power to the limit, spreading out the sharp metal barbs and pointing straight up into the sky.
Above, veins appeared on Qi He's neck and his eyes were bright.
He raised his hands and clenched them tightly—
"Get down!"
The author has something to say:
Qi He: Slay the whole crowd, it's as easy as pie. [Sunglasses]
