The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 650 - 643 Insignificant Corner

Human strength had seen an extremely obvious growth.

In the weapons systems designed for mechanized warfare, there were none suitable for fighting zombies or targeting monsters.

It wasn’t that these weapons were unusable, just not suitable.

The ultimate ground combat weapon for humans was the tank, which theoretically, with its thick armor and powerful firepower, was the best choice for striking zombies.

However, it turned out that tanks were completely ineffective against zombies, showing only their clumsiness and slowness.

Why was that?

The reason was actually quite simple. The most suitable terrain for tanks is what? It’s plains, deserts, large grasslands—places without obstacles are the perfect battleground for tanks to charge across.

But where are zombies mainly found? In cities.

Even if a city’s streets are wide enough to accommodate several tanks side by side, even if the tanks don’t need to fire but simply roll over the zombies, zombies can move, and they do not know fear or retreat.

Send a few dozen tanks into a city and get swarmed by countless zombies. Once they engulf and pounce, you can’t even see the road anymore. How can you fight? There’s simply no way to.

Then hundreds of thousands of zombies are lured out of the city, what kind of firepower could stop such an army of zombies?

But now things were different.

Mecha had a major advantage over tanks in terms of sustained firepower. The ammunition for electromagnetic guns could reach tens of thousands of rounds. Close-range fire against zombies was like a sweep, and electromagnetic cannons could accurately strike monsters like armored beasts from a distance, the key being an unlimited power supply.

But mainly, there now were metal hydrogen weapons, nearly as powerful as nuclear weapons, without the radiation and simple to use.

One explosion took out a large area; it could clear a large swath with a single blast. Just keep throwing these metal hydrogen weapons around, and you would massively eliminate zombies and monsters. Once you cut off the continuity of zombies and monsters, the remaining few were for the mecha to deal with.

The monsters deployed by the Serpent People swarmed like tides, but the mecha’s protective arch of the improved Type 59 could break the momentum of these tides.

The air was thick with the smell of char; several howling monsters were precisely picked off by electromagnetic guns; a layer of dead creatures piled on the ground, but only charred earth lay a few dozen meters away.

Monsters based on zombies as blueprints were useless. Armored beasts, which initially caused great casualties to humanity and seemed almost impossible for Gao Yuan to deal with, were now being picked off by the electromagnetic cannons, shot after shot, never even getting close before they were heavily hit and killed.

If the Serpent People didn’t create any new type of monster, then it seemed they had no way to stop Spark Squad.

Just then, a periscope-like pole rose from the top of the modified Type 59. After extending four or five meters high, the pole suddenly bent, and then it began to emit a buzzing electrical noise.

Gao Yuan didn’t know what this was for; he looked towards Xinghe.

Africa was never the main battlefield against the Serpent People; Shenzhou was.

When they left Shenzhou, the types of monsters they encountered and discovered were precious intelligence for the few bases in Shenzhou.

But now, Gao Yuan couldn’t even imagine with what kind of monsters Shenzhou had fought.

"Watch for aerial threats! Prepare for the Colossal Worm!"

Luo Xingyu’s shout lacked any trace of ladylike composure. She was a bit tense, but there was no panic in her voice.

War, after all, had turned Luo Xingyu into a qualified soldier; she was no longer the sniveling, frail girl who looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, or like eating too much could burst her.

The team slowed down slightly but did not stop.

Then, the Serpent People finally revealed their strongest trump card: two ships landed directly in front of the team on the ground.

The ships had landed—this was the first time Gao Yuan had seen the Serpent People’s ships landing on the ground.

Luo Xingyu’s tense voice became shrill.

"Eleven o’clock direction, two o’clock direction, Colossal Worms appearing!"

Gao Yuan couldn’t help but come to Luo Xingyu’s side, running at the same pace beside her before he shouted, "What are Colossal Worms!"

"Big! Super big! They spray acid and must be deployed on the ground. Follow me closely, you must stick with me! Be careful!" freeweɓnøvel.com

Gao Yuan didn’t have thermal imaging or night-vision goggles, so all he saw was pitch darkness.

Suddenly, Luo Xingyu turned left. Her Mecha accelerated at full power, and Gao Yuan immediately followed her Mecha even more closely.

Gao Yuan could run faster than Luo Xingyu, but he didn’t. He followed Luo Xingyu as they charged together toward a large group of humanoid monsters coming head-on from the left.

All the Mechas turned at the same time, leaving only the 59 improved model charging forward alone along the original path.

"Spread out one hundred and twenty meters, scatter!"

Luo Xingyu’s shouting made no sense to Gao Yuan; he had no time to ask or to understand its meaning. He just bent over, punched a monster charging at him, and then followed Luo Xingyu’s lead.

Luo Xingyu’s Electromagnetic Gun fired, clearing a path in front of her, but she completely ignored the monsters attacking from both sides, charging straight ahead, while all Gao Yuan needed to do was follow behind her.

"Safe!"

The driver of Taihang No.2 shouted out "safe," and then Gao Yuan heard something like rainfall behind him.

Following the sound of rain was a sizzling noise, like water droplets falling on a red-hot pan.

Gao Yuan looked back to see an umbrella had appeared atop the 59 improved model, an umbrella made of blue light, with steam-like white smoke above it, while the monsters that had gathered around the 59 improved model were silently falling down.

Then Gao Yuan realized true rain had fallen; the ground became like a steamer, with white smoke rising from it.

Luo Xingyu’s voice became cheery as she loudly said, "There are only two Colossal Worms, should we kill them or avoid them?"

Luo Xingyu’s voice carried outside; she was in contact with Xiang Weiguo. Gao Yuan could hear her, but he had no way of knowing what Xiang Weiguo said in response.

As the number of monsters increased, all Gao Yuan wanted to know was where the Colossal Worms were and what they looked like.

Soon, Luo Xingyu said to Gao Yuan, "We’ll dodge the Colossal Worms, go through quickly. If there are too many and they create intersecting streams of acid, we won’t be able to fight."

Lizhizi still charged at the forefront,

"Where the hell are the Colossal Worms?"

Gao Yuan finally couldn’t help but ask, and Luo Xingyu replied, "They’re so big, can’t you see them? Oh, you’ll be able to see them very soon."

"Besides spraying acid, what else can Colossal Worms do?"

"They can self-destruct!"

Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu still had time to chat because the monsters around them were becoming very sparse. The monsters, which only clustered and charged forward, naturally couldn’t form any continuous attacks. Whether to generate a wave attack depended on the number of Serpent People deployed, but now, the Serpent People weren’t deploying in large numbers. After breaking through the first wave, what followed was a straightforward path.

Luo Xingyu even couldn’t help but exclaim, "It’s too easy here, just two Colossal Worms. Last time the Serpent People attacked Base 3, they deployed forty-six Colossal Worms in one go."

Gao Yuan again couldn’t help but ask, "How powerful are the Colossal Worms?"

"One Colossal Worm can destroy a city. In short, they’re super powerful!"
