The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 652 - 645: When the Armored Scales Reflect the Sun, the Gold Shimmers Open
Chapter 652: Chapter 645: When the Armored Scales Reflect the Sun, the Gold Shimmers Open
Have you seen the tide overwhelm rocks in the sea?
When all the ships released monsters at the same time, Gao Yuan and his team encountered an unparalleled disaster.
It was as if a person was thrown into the water, not in a pouring rain, not wading in slowly, but swept away by a flood.
Big ones, small ones, humanoid and non-humanoid, coming from the ground and from the sky, all sorts of monsters at the moment of release all pounced towards Gao Yuan and his team.
The Serpent People’s attack was a simple three-move combination, but it was unstoppable.
It was the last wave that counted in the hundreds of thousands, and those tiny insects probably numbered in the billions.
In such a scene, Lizhizi felt like composing a poem.
"Black clouds press down on the city about to break..."
Lizhizi’s voice rose amidst the monsters’ roars and the sonic booms of the electromagnetic guns. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Accompanied by a roar, Lizhizi protected his head with his left hand, sank his body down, and charged towards the Armored Beast gathering sparks above him.
Pushing through monsters of all sizes, Lizhizi leapt up and from below, cleaved an Armored Beast’s head in two.
"The armor shines against the sun, its golden scales... open!"
Lizhizi was attacked by monsters in mid-air, fell to the ground, but he struggled to his feet, then with a spin and a whirl, he flung the monsters on his mecha off, cutting the surrounding monsters in two.
Jia Weidong lacked the protection of a mecha, but at that moment, he wielded the most powerful weapony.
A self-destructive firepower, with mechanically engineered dogs pre-positioned for the right moment, was his ace in the hole.
"Detonate!"
When Jia Weidong shouted, he was resolute, he could choose which of the mechanical dogs to blow up, but at that moment, he only had time to utter one word.
That was to detonate them all.
Six directions, in the pitch-dark night, six suns appeared.
No sound, no shockwave, just light.
Light that was even more dazzling than the sun.
Gao Yuan felt the scorching heat, he shut his eyes, and then he and the monsters before him were swept away by a violent wind.
First was the radiation, and then the shockwave, Gao Yuan’s physical strength was disproportionate to his weight, no matter what he did, he couldn’t avoid being blown away by the shockwave.
Xinghe grabbed Gao Yuan’s leg, and the blood spurting from his mouth, ears, and nose first flew backwards in the air, but immediately, his droplets of blood hit an invisible wall, then vaporized and disappeared.
Gao Yuan’s body drifted in the air like a leaf until he was slammed to the ground by Xinghe, who then stomped a foot down.
The buzzing of insects, the roars of monsters, all sounds were gone.
The tide of monsters was cut in half.
But it wasn’t over, it was far from over.
Gao Yuan closed his eyes, all he saw was darkness, his internal organs felt as if they were hammered hundreds of times, and now he really wanted to vomit.
Lizhizi stood up again, he was steady.
There were no monsters around, no targets to kill, but looking around, the tide of darkness surged again.
The power of a small-scale nuclear war could stop the beast tide for two minutes.
Lizhizi clenched his right fist, the Plasma Knife reappeared on his right arm.
"Ah! Ah..."
Two monstrous howls rang out as Lizhizi raised his arm and bellowed, "With my sword raised, I laugh at the sky, my gall and bravery match the Kunlun Mountains! Come at me, come!"
Unlike Lizhizi’s roaring, Xiang Weiguo’s voice remained as calm as ever.
"Cease firing, reduce the number of monsters."
In the center was the 59 Improved, with mechas surrounding it, forming a concentric circle with a diameter of over two thousand meters around the 59 Improved. This large concentric circle was made up of six smaller ones. Inside the large circle formed by these six rings, there were still a few monsters that could move, but the majority, especially the smaller ones, had vanished, and the larger ones had fallen and could not get up.
It was the strongest blow from humanity’s last seed troop. If successful, they would escape with their lives; if not, they would perish alongside their nation.
The situation was tragic, indeed, but futile.
"How lamentable it is to cut the water with a sword, for the water flows on even more."
"How utterly detestable it is to cut the water with a sword, for the water flows on even more."
The monsters advanced toward the last seed even faster, their flood converging from all directions, threatening to submerge the small reef that was the 59 Improved once again.
Reefs may not be swept away by the waves, but people can be.
Gao Yuan and the others wanted to be the reef, but sadly, at best they were only a small boat at this moment.
"I have violated the Explorer’s code by directly intervening in the war, and now I’m about to break the Celestial’s code as well..."
Xinghe finally spoke up. She looked down at Gao Yuan, who she was stepping on to keep him from being blown away by the shockwave, and said solemnly, "Can you hear me when I speak?"
Gao Yuan’s eardrums had been destroyed in the recent explosion, but they were rapidly regenerating.
So even though there was blood in Gao Yuan’s ears and his hearing was fuzzy, he still heard Xinghe’s words.
"I hear you..."
Xinghe released her foot, then she said earnestly, "Do you know why my mecha doesn’t have specialized weapons?"
"Why?"
"Because my mecha itself is the most powerful weapon. My mecha is a spacesuit, a medical pod, an auxiliary computer, and also a weapon. There’s something I must explain to you. The mecha’s own power is limited; I cannot activate the mecha’s weapon function. So it’s not because I’m abiding by the Explorer’s code that I didn’t act while Shimen Shelter No.2 was destroyed; it’s because my mecha has no primary power source."
Gao Yuan said quietly, "I’ve never blamed you. You said..."
Xinghe’s head turned slightly, then she continued, "Why do you think I gave you the most important power technology? Because only then could my mecha regain power. Controlled nuclear fusion doesn’t produce enough energy, but it’s enough to let my mecha function again. And controlled nuclear fusion is a key precursor technology. Only with it can you hope to realize an antimatter reactor."
The monsters had approached once again. Luo Xingyu’s electromagnetic gun fired, as well as Taihang No. 2’s. Lizhizi let out a loud yell and swung his plasma knife.
But Xinghe remained motionless, speaking indifferently, "Remember, when all technological means fail, the last thing you can rely on is yourself!"
Struggling to his feet, Gao Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xinghe took a deep breath and said, "I’m going to make a last effort. If I fail... no, actually, success or failure doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t want to give up trying, but I’m really tired."
"What are you going to do!"
Xinghe, inside her mecha, looked at Gao Yuan and spoke with a forlorn tone, "The Ark is not on Earth. I can’t find that spaceship. The Ark was never on Earth. If it were, I would have found it by now, but it’s not..."
Gao Yuan stopped cold, feeling a deep chill all over.
Xinghe took a step back, then shouted, "Power carriage, cut off all power links except for my output channel, then run at maximum power! Don’t worry about overloading, don’t worry about overheating."
Xiang Weiguo didn’t know what Xinghe was planning, but he did as she had instructed.
Three mechas instantly lost their energy supply, immediately becoming immobile scrap metal, while Xinghe’s mecha began to glow intensely, as though another sun had risen on the ground.
