The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 679 - 672 - : Troop Disintegration
Chapter 679: 672 Chapter: Troop Disintegration
The zombie howled as it charged at Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan roared as he rushed towards the zombie.
As Gao Yuan started running, the clothes tied around his waist fell off.
No ordinary clothing could withstand Gao Yuan’s speed, and no ordinary shoes could handle the impact of his charges, so not only did Gao Yuan lack weapons, he now didn’t even have the most basic clothing and footwear.
Yet none of this could stop Gao Yuan from becoming a War God.
This time, the opponent was a monster-level zombie, but the zombie had neither bone blades nor bone spurs, no thick carapace—this opponent was just a new species that could follow the Serpent People’s commands to the letter.
Against a human army, a zombie legion that could be completely controlled held an advantage.
But against Gao Yuan, whether it relied on instinct or was directly commanded by the Serpent People, none of that mattered.
Until Gao Yuan engaged in combat, the Type 59-modified wouldn’t fire.
Although the Type 59-modified had already resumed operation and had the capability to fire its electromagnetic cannon, it couldn’t open fire until Gao Yuan clashed with the zombie legion.
Gao Yuan was like a longsword that sliced through layers of obstacles.
A punch burst the zombie’s skull open, and grabbing the zombie’s leg, he swept it around him, just two swipes later, only the severed limb remained in his hand as Gao Yuan broke through eight rows.
He was like a boulder crashing into the sea.
With a boom, the battle ranks finally closed up, and the orderly marching zombies, after being breached by Gao Yuan’s entrance, finally commenced the battle.
"Fire!"
Xiang Weiguo bellowed the order to open fire, and the first metal hydride shell didn’t target the horde of zombies but shot towards the Serpent People’s spaceship in the sky.
The distance was short, and the shell reached its target in an instant.
Then, the constantly hovering triangular spaceship disintegrated silently in the explosion caused by the direct hit from the metal hydride shell.
This scene made many realize one thing, that the triangular spaceship was, after all, unmanned.
Without the triangular spaceship, the zombies still didn’t lose control or fall into disorder, which meant that these zombies weren’t controlled by that triangular spaceship.
That was indeed a discouraging discovery.
Humans just wanted to have a fair fight with the Serpent People, but they weren’t given the chance.
"Fire! Fire!"
Ram’s angry shout turned into reality as all the tanks, machine guns, and autocannons fired at once, and the zombie legion was instantly showered with blossoming spurts of blood and flashes of explosions. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Finally, as Gao Yuan had already stormed into the ranks of the zombie legion and the tank units had opened fire, the mechas, less than a hundred meters from the zombie legion, began to shoot.
Luo Xingyu’s electromagnetic gun fired, and the steel bullets flew towards the zombies.
Lizhizi’s mecha swung its left arm, shattering a zombie’s skull, and with a slash of the plasma knife in her right hand, she cleaved another zombie in two before diving into the horde as the second mecha.
Xinghe was the third; she could move faster than anyone, but she was the third to plunge into the zombie masses.
Four mechas and one man, charging into the swarm of zombies, got surrounded and trapped, but this made it even easier for them to slaughter the zombies.
Several lights appeared in the sky, then, a few more triangular ships once more took position up above.
The Type 59-modified had destroyed one of the Serpent People’s ships, but the Serpent People had sent four more ships in less than two seconds, arriving before the echoes from the metal hydride shell’s explosion had faded.
This was why Ram no longer tried to flee.
Against the technological superiority of the Serpent People’s dimension-lowering strikes, what was the point of escaping a thousand kilometers?
"Fire!"
Xiang Weiguo issued a second, despairing command, and the Type 59-modified’s main cannon fired again, but this time, as the metal hydride shell had just left the muzzle, it emitted a wisp of green smoke under a visible beam of light and vanished into thin air less than a hundred meters out.
This time, humans faced a weapon they could understand, similar to a laser, yet it was not a laser.
Humans possess laser weapons which focus on concentrated beams, but the Serpent People’s laser-like weapons were very dispersed. However, their power was many times stronger than what humans could achieve.
The projectiles fired by electromagnetic cannons moved quickly, but the speed of light was faster. Compared to the speed of light, the speed of the projectiles was negligible.
Thus, the fact became apparent. With just one spaceship, the Serpent People tested the most rapid weapon humans had ever created, and then they didn’t give humanity a second chance, because there was no need for them to test again.
Filled with passion, humans responded to the Serpent People’s grand formation with a grand force of their own, only to be met with mockery akin to a cat playing with a mouse.
This time, it was humans who played the role of the mouse.
Gao Yuan remained invincible among the zombie hordes; zombies could not muster any effective resistance against him.
Finally, tanks charged into the zombie ranks.
Colliding, crushing, strafing – the zombies had no way to fight back.
From the sight of it, it seemed as though humans were gaining the upper hand.
The tragedy belonged to Li Jinfang and Li Jingang. They both followed Gao Yuan into the charge, but how could their speed compare to Gao Yuan’s? And after the mechas and tanks advanced at full speed, their pace could not keep up with either.
Li Jinfang let out a long howl to the sky in frustration, feeling insulted.
All he wanted was to fight honorably just once, in a way worthy of a warrior – even if just for one time, to do justice to all he had learned.
But the Serpent People didn’t give human warriors such an opportunity.
One zombie fiercely leapt onto the head of Lizhizi’s mecha, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth.
Lizhizi was like someone with a heavy load on his head, a common sight in Africa, but eventually, his neck succumbed to the weight.
Zombies, precise and swift in their attacks, kept clinging to his mecha. More and more zombies hung from it until the top-heavy Lizhizi could no longer maintain balance and toppled backward.
More zombies swarmed over him, pinning down Lizhizi’s mecha, which quickly became enveloped in a sphere of flesh composed of countless zombies.
"I...activate!"
This wasn’t the power of will; Lizhizi’s will could not exert any influence on the mecha, as spirit cannot affect machines.
Yet under Lizhizi’s control, the mecha still found a way to break free.
Lizhizi’s mecha propped itself up with its left hand while its feet kicked rapidly, sending zombies flying off and revealing the mecha’s legs.
A beam of light pierced through a zombie, then Lizhizi’s right arm swung through, the Plasma Knife cutting a dozen zombies in half. This caused the majority of the zombies restraining Lizhizi to fall away.
"Ten years to sharpen a single sword, its frosty blade has never been tested! Today I show it forth before you all, who dares to cause injustice?"
Lizhizi recited poetry again amidst the heat of battle.
Despite being a mecha, the mecha’s interactive freedom was extremely high, and under Lizhizi’s control, it moved as nimbly as a human – flipping, jumping, and standing up. With his left hand flinging away the last zombie in front of him, there were none left around him.
Military Taoist Priest Lizhizi, Mecha Sword Immortal Lizhizi, emerged gloriously untrapped.
Swinging his right arm brought a streak of blue light, and Lizhizi bellowed, "One sword..."
Lizhizi’s voice came to an abrupt halt as a beam of light from the spaceship struck the head of Lizhizi’s mecha.
The power system remained undamaged, the Plasma Knife was still intact, the mecha stood tall, and the Plasma Knife continued to radiate brilliant light.
But the man was no longer present; the entire head of the mecha had been obliterated.
The Serpent People’s third test was complete.
Taoist Lizhizi was transcended; warrior Lizhizi fell in battle.
