In Fire Beacon City, the boundless rain of bullets once again interweaved into a huge scarlet net. Yang Ke-er's counterattack was quite ruthless. The moment the Seafolk quietly snuck up, the firepower that erupted this time was even greater than before. Not only did the firepower net tilt, but also the honeycomb-shaped mine launchers installed on the military trucks. Each military truck had six honeycombs, and each honeycomb had thirty-two launchers. They could place one hundred and ninety-two anti-infantry mines at once. Ten mine-laying vehicles were enough to cover the entire ambush point with one thousand nine hundred and twenty mines.
These 75mm mines were not much weaker than 75mm artillery shells when they exploded. The Seafolk were not humans, so they did not know that the big round boxes on the ground were untouchable hornet's nests. The flames of the explosions rose and fell, but the effect was even better than the firepower net. The trembling Seafolk were all Kraya under the illumination of the flares. There were Kraya of Highland rank. Inside the scarlet fireballs, Kraya flew into the sky one after another. Many were hit by the large caliber bullets, and they did not even have the chance to resist before being split into two. On the other hand, the small caliber bullets were ineffective against them. The Kraya had a defensive barrier that could only be penetrated by heavy weapons.
Under the command of Yang Ke-er, the defensive line immediately stabilized. The artillery bombardment was cunning and vicious, and thousands of Kraya suffered heavy casualties. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhuo Mingyue, and Si Fei were looking for Xue Feng among the countless zombie corpses. The zombies were the most important part of the defensive line on the eastern side. The eastern side was the essence of the entire Australia's survivor gathering area, so they could not be lost.
Among the piles of zombie corpses were rarely seen corpses of the Seafolk. The mountains of evolved zombie corpses were like roadblocks, and they were arranged in a complicated manner that made people unable to tell the direction. Zhuo Mingyue floated in the air like an arrow and flashed past the piles of corpses. Little Si Fei's humanoid beast was not slow either, and it carried Zhang Xiaoqiang like a gust of wind as it swept past the piles of corpses.
Looking at the countless corpses, Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned. There were no mutated beasts among the corpses of the Seafolk, and there were no ordinary Seafolk. Most of the corpses were Kraya corpses, and they looked like mummies. It was obvious that they had been sucked dry by Xue Feng. Xue Feng had not personally fought for a long time, and this reminded Zhang Xiaoqiang of the Boundless Sea of Blood in Shanghai. For Xue Feng to personally take action, it was clear that the situation was worse than he had imagined.
The further they went, the more corpses there were. All the corpses were like sieves, and it was hard to tell how many there were. Many of the scattered zombies had also lost their formation, and each of them were squatting and devouring the corpses of the Sea Clan members. They were like demons from hell. The sound of chewing, the sound of bones breaking, and the rustling sound of tearing and the howling of the D-type zombies reminded Zhang Xiao Qiang of the first night of the virus outbreak.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing high-pitched scream came from afar. This ability of the Z-Type did not sound very pure, but Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that it was the roar of the Xue Feng. Zhuo Mingyue increased her speed, and shot towards the Xue Feng like a meteor. She saw hundreds of S4s leaping around, surrounding the Four-Armed Nagas. Each of them were extremely strong, and the S4s seemed to have hit an invisible blade, turning into a pile of shredded meat.
The blood phoenix's figure couldn't be seen, only the whirlpool of blood within a radius of a hundred meters. This blood wave surged and surged, and the blood crystal spear that extended and contracted for dozens of meters was like a millstone, wiping out the three six-armed snake women that had gathered around it. Each of these six-armed snake women was more than two meters tall, and two-thirds of their long tails were wriggling on the ground. They were different from Kraya, and each of their arms was holding a piece of beast bone. These beast bones included skulls, ribs, shoulder blades, leg bones, and even beast teeth that looked like scimitars. Each bone was sparkling and translucent like jade, and with every wave of the beast bone, ice-blue crystalline sand would scatter in all directions. Anything that came into contact with the crystalline sand would instantly be covered in a thick layer of ice.
The killing power of the S4 zombies far exceeded that of the D4 zombies. Their invisible speed and sharp claws that could easily cut through steel were all killing weapons. Even the strongest Mutant Beasts would die if they came into contact with them, but under the ice crystals, they were as fragile as wine glasses, and if they came into contact with it, they would turn into ice sculptures and shatter into pieces. The hundreds of S4s continued to decrease in numbers, but the Four-Armed Nagas rarely suffered any losses. The whirlpool of blood seemed to be extremely powerful, but under the assault of the crystal sand, they were unable to retaliate. The blood water turned into blood ice and shattered, and the radius of the blood wave was also shrinking. It seemed that it would not be long before the blood wave dissipated into nothing.
With another high-pitched shriek, the blood wave was shaken into countless molecules, revealing the Blood Phoenix hidden in a blood-colored armor. The Blood Phoenix disappeared as soon as it appeared, and the crystal sand that the three six-armed snake women scattered flew backward, hitting the barrier in front of them and slipping away.
"Extreme Cold?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang also saw the crystal sand from the Six-Armed Nagas, and he thought back to the Level 5 Mutant Beast he had seen in Shanghai. That Level 5 Mutant Beast's ability was not this kind of frost that could freeze everything. In the next moment, Zhuo Ming Yue appeared in the center of the battlefield, surrounding the Four-Armed Nagas that were surrounded by a dozen S4s. The chaotic Psychic Blades were like a meat grinder as they flew towards the Nagas, only to see the barrier around the Nagas shatter, forcing the Nagas to spit out a thick mist of crystal sand.
The invisible psychic blade was also blocked by the crystal sand. The psychic barrier around Zhuo Mingyue had countless cracks on it before shattering into powder. After exchanging one round of blows, Zhuo Mingyue was forced back by the crystal sand. However, the Lamia was also greatly injured, and her agile body was somewhat dispirited. At this moment, the zombies surrounding the six-armed Lamia swarmed over and pounced on the four-armed Lamia. In an instant, they grabbed the Lamia's body and opened a meter-long bloody mouth. Once the bloody mouth was opened, streams of blood were drawn out from the Lamia's body, forming slender blood snakes that twirled and converged into the blood phoenix's blood wave, causing the blood wave to gradually increase in power.
This was not the first time that Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen the zombies hunt for food, but this was the first time he had seen it. After Zhuo Ming Yue had cooperated with the S4 to kill the first Nagas, they moved on to the second one. The reason they were able to take care of this Nagas was not because they were weak. That day, there were three of them, and they could only beat the Nagas by a small margin. This time, they were able to take care of the Nagas easily. The first was that the Nagas were the strongest in the sea, and the other was that not all Nagas had Saint Spirit Bones. The Saint Spirit Bones were the source of the Sea Clan, and destroying any Saint Spirit Bone was equivalent to destroying an entire clan.
Zhuo Ming Yue approached the second Snake Woman, who raised her fist sized pocket-sized skull. The moment the destructive red light flashed, Zhuo Ming Yue's body leapt up, her peripheral vision sweeping past the two S4s. The next moment, the red light and the zombies disappeared, and Zhuo Ming Yue pounced down again. She knew that it would take at least 10 breaths of time to activate the red light again, which was more than enough time for her. As expected, just like the first Snake Woman, the Snake Woman was once again injured by the claws of the S4s. Once she was injured, her blood would be sucked dry by the Blood Phoenix until it was eaten by the zombies.
Ma Fei had also arrived. Zhang Xiao Qiang had already leaped high into the air before Ma Fei could pounce on the third Lamia, pouncing on the fourth Lamia like a bat. However, the Lamia he had chosen did not have a Saint Soul Bone. While he was in mid-air, dazzling electric arcs slanted towards the Lamia without any regard for the cost. The barrier surrounding the Lamia's body quickly melted. Although he could not kill it in one strike, he could neutralize the barrier. When only a thin layer of the barrier remained, the Firebird Scimitar arrived. In the next moment, the Firebird Scimitar collided with the Lamia's beast bone scepter and sent it flying. The serrated scimitar then slashed towards the Lamia's chin from an unexpected angle. The Lamia spat out her life-saving crystal sand, and the serrated scimitar instantly turned into a giant popsicle. At the same time, Zhang Xiao Qiang released a layer of flames, sweeping away all the crystal sand. In the next moment, the giant popsicle that had yet to melt smashed into the Lamia's chin like a mace. The ice shattered, and the sharp serrated scimitar cut a huge wound on the Lamia's beautiful face. As the Lamia flew backwards, fresh blood gushed out of the wound and gathered towards the Blood Phoenix.
By the time Zhang Xiao Qiang landed on the ground, Ma Fei's huge fists smashed through the Snake Lady's barrier just like the time in the sea, grabbing both her arms and ripping them apart. The Snake Lady screamed out in agony, as 2 streams of blood shot out. The severed wrists merged with the blood wave, causing the Blood Phoenix to let out a joyful roar. However, this roar was laced with a deep sense of sorrow.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the Snake Woman's corpse that he had slashed away and was about to land on the ground. He did not want the S4 zombies to waste time eating the corpse. The Firebird Scimitar was like a boomerang as it sliced the corpse in half and burned it to ashes. However, two beast bones and a multi-faceted crystal fell from the corpse. When Zhang Xiaoqiang saw it, his pupils shrank, "Kill a monster and drop a treasure?"
Harboring this strange thought, Zhang Xiao Qiang led a group of dissatisfied zombies to pounce on his second opponent.
This time, Zhang Xiaoqiang was ruthless. He did not leave any food for the S4 zombies. Whether it was him, Zhuo Mingyue or Ma Fei, they were all turned to ashes by the Firebird Scimitar. The crystal fell down one by one, and the zombies that did not have anything to eat pounced on the other Snake Women. They were like wretched perverts. At first, the zombies suffered heavy losses under the encirclement of the Snake Women, but later on, only the unlucky ones would be taken care of by the Snake Women. The rest of the zombies were helping the humans take care of the Snake Women.
The zombies were the eyes and ears of the Blood Phoenix, so naturally they would not attack Zhang Xiaoqiang. Under the cooperation of both sides, the number of Snake Women decreased. In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang and the others did not personally kill any of the Snake Women. All of them died after being injured and drained of blood. The main force was still the Blood Phoenix. The hundred-meter radius of the Blood Wave was reduced to a few tens of meters by the Six-Armed Snake Women. However, with the blood of the Four-Armed Snake Women, the Blood Phoenix was able to continue the stalemate. At times, they could even counterattack. At the same time, there were even more S4 zombies restraining the Six-Armed Snake Women.
The power of the Six-Armed Snake Women was too great, not something the Four-Armed Snake Women could compare to. The S4 zombies could not even last a few rounds in front of the Six-Armed Snake Women before turning into porcelain dolls. This gave the Blood Phoenix a chance to breathe. While they were in a stalemate, the less than thirty Four-Armed Snake Women were finally all taken care of. The arrogant Zhuo Mingyue was the first to challenge one of them.
Before he even arrived, the psychic blades swept towards the six armed snake woman like stars surrounding the moon. Unexpectedly, the psychic blades that could break the four armed snake woman's barrier were completely useless in front of the six armed snake woman. The six armed snake woman's barrier didn't even tremble. The chaotic and formless psychic blades dug into the ground around the barrier and the six armed snake woman's counterattack was even more shocking. The crystal sand formed a dense fog that rolled towards Zhuo Mingyue. The thickness of this dense fog was even more turbulent than the four armed snake woman's life energy. Moreover, she could control it as she wished. It was like a crystal sand dragon that chased after Zhuo Mingyue who was randomly flying around.
Ma Fei's figure suddenly appeared in front of the six-armed snake woman who was chasing after Zhuo Mingyue. She fiercely punched the barrier, causing visible fluctuations to appear. The next moment, the barrier's recoil actually sent Ma Fei flying. While she was still in the air, a streak of crystal sand swept across horizontally. It was about to reach the waist of the humanoid beast, where Ma Fei's true body was.
