The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 683 - 676: Turning Point

The Colossal Worm would self-destruct, blowing itself to smithereens, then spraying its flesh and the acidic liquid inside its body in all directions.

As the Colossal Worm detonated, a large umbrella of electric sparks appeared again in the sky above the Type 59 upgrade.

This was the weapon humanity had developed against flying insects, and it also provided some protection against the Colossal Worm’s acidic attack.

You see, the Type 59 upgrade wasn’t very large, but it did have a controlled nuclear fusion reactor. In terms of power, the Type 59 upgrade was comparable to a large nuclear power station, and its output far exceeded that of nuclear carriers and nuclear submarines’ reactors.

Therefore, the electric sparks from the Type 59 upgrade’s roof could generate extremely high temperatures, causing the acidic liquid tossed high into the air and falling down like fine droplets to vaporize upon contact with the electric net. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This was the protective method of the Type 59 upgrade.

"Fire!"

Following Luo Xingyu’s roar, the remaining two Mechas raised their left arms equipped with Electromagnetic Guns and started shooting at high speed into the sky.

Why shoot? Gao Yuan was still somewhat baffled, but he quickly understood why they needed to fire.

This time, the Colossal Worm self-destructed rather than spraying acid, so what flew towards them first were not droplets of acid, but chunks of flesh, big and small.

Gao Yuan didn’t know the danger these chunks of flesh posed, but judging by the readiness of Xiang Weiguo and Luo Xingyu, it was clearly something deadly.

The pieces produced by the Colossal Worm’s self-destruction were as large as a truck or at the very least car-sized, not to forget the enormous size of the Colossal Worm itself, which naturally meant its fragments would not be small either.

The two Mechas tore the larger chunks of flesh apart with their gunfire, turning them into smaller pieces, and these smaller pieces were not enough to penetrate through the Type 59 upgrade’s electromagnetic net.

Fist-sized chunks of flesh carbonized upon touching the net, charring and shattering into falling black powder, resulting in the Colossal Worm’s self-defense flesh attack turning into black snowflakes gently landing after reaching the space above the Type 59 upgrade.

The vicinity of the Type 59 upgrade was enshrouded in black ash, obstructing the view.

A basketball-sized chunk of flesh, reeking and smoking, made it through the electric net, and by the time an Angel soldier noticed it, it was too late, and he had nowhere to hide.

"Look out!"

With a splat, the chunk of flesh landed on the soldier’s shoulder, and then his right shoulder began to collapse like a melting candle.

The flesh chunk from the Colossal Worm also disintegrated, turning into countless smaller flesh pieces scattering in all directions.

What was most deadly was that both Ram and Nate were right behind that soldier.

Ram was pushing Nate, and Nate was pulling Ram, each trying to shield the other, but the velocity of the flesh chunks falling from the sky made it impossible for them to protect one another as seen in movies.

So Ram and Nate almost simultaneously took the full brunt of the shrapnel attack.

Without a sound, but Ram and Nate’s chests began to smoke.

The clothes rapidly disintegrated to reveal the bulletproof vests underneath, the outer Kevlar layer quickly melting away to expose the ceramic bulletproof plates inside.

The acid was stopped by the bulletproof plates, but on Ram and Nate’s arms, faces, and necks, black holes began to appear at a visibly rapid rate, blood seeping out from them, and in an instant, Ram and Nate became blood-soaked figures.

The fifth test of the Serpent People struck Ram and Nate directly.

Ram turned his head in bewilderment to look at Nate, while Nate looked back at Ram with a face full of despair, and then they both simultaneously went weak at the knees and bent them, kneeling forward.

The outflow of blood slowed the rate at which the acid continued to corrode, but Ram and Mad Wolf would eventually die, lifetime enemies, also lifetime friends, to die like this together under the acid attack of the Colossal Worm.

Wait a minute, without the Ark of the Covenant they would indeed die, but with it, things were different.

Ram had grabbed the clothes of Ram and Nate from behind, and then Wei Guo opened the door of the modified Type 59, while Xinghe had already bent over and dashed inside the modified Type 59.

The moment Ram and Nate were hit by fragments, these actions had begun.

Gao Yuan directly threw Ram into the open Ark of the Covenant, if only one could survive, he would definitely choose Ram.

But at the signal from Xinghe, Gao Yuan also threw Nate into the Ark of the Covenant.

Come to think of it, Xinghe had never said the Ark of the Covenant could only heal one person, so as long as both could fit inside, there should be no problem with two.

Xinghe closed the lid of the Ark of the Covenant, and at this moment, the acid began to fall, turning into fumes as it came into contact with the electric grid, and a foul smell began to spread, indicating that no more flesh pieces would fall.

In this wave of attack, one person died, and two were sent into the Ark of the Covenant.

The soldier who wasn’t hit in the shoulder died instantly, for he had borne the brunt of the acid attack, but Ram and Nate, barring any unexpected circumstances, they would survive.

And the acid’s attack was no longer a threat.

Tanks and armored vehicles exposed to the acid began to distort, metal unable to stop the erosion of the acid, bubbles started forming on the sandy ground, and smokes began to spread.

All things that had undergone the baptism of acid were slowly but steadily dissolving, the whole world as if a ladle of hot soup had been poured onto a snowy field.

Coughing sounds started rising, Xiang Weiguo, covering his nose, shouted, "Close the hatch of the modified Type 59, the smoke is toxic but not deadly, don’t worry about us, close the hatch quickly!"

Jia Weidong, who had long been out of options, slapped a button, and then the hatch of the modified Type 59 violently closed at a dangerously rapid pace, a button for emergency closure.

Gao Yuan looked at Xinghe, who knelt on one knee on the other side of the Ark of the Covenant, because she was too tall inside the Mecha, she could only bend her waist or kneel on one knee.

Gao Yuan wanted to speak, but didn’t know what to say, he was very afraid of losing Xinghe, but the way Xinghe had just acted made him feel as if he was about to lose her immediately.

"Xinghe..."

Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan, and she whispered softly, "Everything will be..."

Xinghe suddenly changed what she was saying, and she looked very astonished, while shouting loudly, she abruptly stood up, then her head hit the roof of the modified Type 59 with a loud ’bang,’ startling everyone.

Gao Yuan was startled, and then he shouted loudly, "What did you say?"

Xinghe’s head wasn’t hurt by the hit, after banging her head, she crouched down again, then she rose again, hitting her head heavily for the second time.

"Damn it!"

Xinghe swore again, placing her hand on the Ark of the Covenant, she then bellowed, "I said damn it! Damn it!"

The corners of Gao Yuan’s mouth twitched a few times, while Xinghe violently opened the visor of her Mecha, revealing her fervent and excited face.

Xinghe’s hand stroked the Ark of the Covenant, she was clearly suppressing the urge to suddenly open it, Gao Yuan said urgently, "What exactly is going on?"

Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan, tears began streaming from her eyes, and then, her voice trembling, she said, "The Ark!"
