Iris looked at her with a complicated expression, trying her best to hide the worry in her eyes. She leaned closer to Chang Le and whispered, "We'll stay with you."
Chang Le was completely cold and did not respond to the question.
Iris glanced back, then fell silent again.
...
April 5, 7:11 AM.
The ninth-tier mutant species [Sturgeon] from the eastern Canglan River appeared in the middle section of the Xianghe River, along with the ninth-tier mutant species [Glacier Bear], [Centipede Grass], and [Snow Corpse Demon] from the northern Xianghe River, driving a swarm of mutants to launch a large-scale attack on the human garrison in the southern Xianghe River.
Among them, [Glacier Bear] appeared at Lu Jin'an's location, [Sturgeon] dived into the river to secretly command in a special way, and [Centipede] and [Snow Corpse] appeared at Chang Le's location.
A fierce war broke out immediately.
...
The section of the Xiang River directly opposite Yulou Pass and ten kilometers to the east is the area that Chang Le and his men are responsible for guarding, and it is also the place where the alien firepower of this attack is most concentrated.
The open riverbanks on both sides were in complete chaos.
The Snow Bull, a mutant species known for its defensive capabilities, was driven to the forefront to lead the charge. These mutants, as robust as highland yaks, relied on each other to form a defensive wall that conventional firepower could not penetrate or destroy.
Through the gaps in the snow cattle, countless white rats charged towards the human camp in droves, using the fur of the tall, strong cattle as cover.
At the feet of the white-haired rat, swarms of various poisonous insects and ants, indistinguishable to the naked eye, also approached, drawn by the scent of humans.
Drones scouted and locked onto targets, unleashing a barrage of fire. Countless projectiles streaked across the sky, blasting the leading alien hordes to smithereens. Even the snow-covered cattle herds struggled to withstand the dense barrage from above.
Another barrage of artillery fire swept across the sky, like countless meteors falling in a devastating attack.
Suddenly, dozens of black shadows rose from the ground, instantly reaching a height of a hundred feet, and condensed above all the alien species, opening up a white arc-shaped barrier. The barrier collided with the cannon fire, canceling each other out.
"hiss--"
The sharp, piercing sound made people dizzy. A powerful surge of ice-attribute energy swept by, dispersing the smoke and dust, revealing a monster that could stretch for hundreds of feet.
Like dozens of giant centipedes, each hundreds of feet long, standing upright, with sharp, venomous barbs accumulating on each pair of light blue "legs," this was merely a branch-like leaf of a plant species. Dozens of leaf branches were connected at the base, all growing from a clump of irregularly spotted white rootstock.
This is a ninth-tier variant, the Centipede Grass.
It waved its leaves and branches, and the alien species in front of it fled in panic, rushing forward recklessly, ignoring the barrage of gunfire and the humans poised to hunt them down.
Centipede is like a puppeteer, manipulating puppets to charge into battle.
However, compared to the Centipede Grass, which is better at strong attacks, the true Puppet Master is the one who drives tens of thousands of elite seventh-tier and above alien species to charge behind it.
Amidst countless enormous alien species, the two-and-a-half-meter-tall white humanoid monster appeared thin and insignificant, yet no alien species dared to approach it.
It was a creature that looked like a paper doll, with two round, bulging eyes that didn't look in the same direction at the same time.
His nose was unusually long, and when his mouth was closed, it was a horizontal line that ran across his entire face from side to side. When he opened his mouth, it was full of sharp teeth, as if he wanted to split his entire face up and down.
Its body resembled a half-shedded white human skin, the upper part growing from its thin chest and hanging down to its crotch, below which were two legs that were bent backward and covered with blue tumors.
It walks on tiptoe, somewhat like a zombie, hence the name "Snow Corpse Ghost".
It is said that this mutant species was transformed from a human with supernatural abilities who died in the snowy plains of the northern border. It is an extremely powerful spiritual attribute mutant and a rare high-intelligence mutant.
The Centipede leads and protects the vanguard, the Snow Corpse sits in the center to drive away and manage the alien species, and the Sturgeon dives into the water to continuously create deadly ice rain or ice thorns. These various alien species have surprisingly formed an effective coordinated attack.
The aliens are not human; most of them only have simple instinctive feelings, and their most sensitive sense is danger and life-or-death situations. Under the threat of death from a powerful alien, they can charge tirelessly, disregarding their own lives and the deaths of other aliens in front of them, simply attacking, charging, and killing according to their instincts.
But humans can't do that.
Their rich emotions and consciousness allowed them to repeatedly repel the alien attacks despite being outnumbered overall, thanks to their skillful and coordinated teamwork. However, the deaths of countless comrades and friends, the continuous and hopeless battles, and the loneliness of fighting alone without reinforcements were constantly eroding everyone's will to fight bravely.
In the charge that disregards life and death, in the roars of fighting with all one's might to kill the enemy, in the battle that knows no bounds, despair also spreads continuously.
The Centipede Grass wields its massive, ferocious branches, sweeping away and crushing everything within a hundred meters, whether it be aliens or humans, leaving a gruesome sight.
Chang Le kicked away the alien creature that pounced on him, and with his other hand, he quickly pulled the young girl back.
Iris stared at the rampaging centipede, pressed down on the little girl's shoulder, stomped her foot, and the ground collapsed at her toes as she leaped into the air.
It moved with incredible speed, leaving countless afterimages that formed a dazzling purple-gold trail before crashing heavily onto the barrier created by dozens of leaves and branches of the centipede.
"boom--"
The centipede's countless leaves and branches were smashed to pieces. The iris, without pausing, let out a low growl and swung its fist again, continuing to bombard downwards.
A purple-gold wheel spun rapidly behind him, and from a distance, all that could be seen was a ball of intensely burning purple-gold flame. It descended from the top of the leafy branches, which were more than 300 meters high, like a meat grinder, pulverizing the leaves and branches in its path.
