War Lord

Chapter 938: Monster Invasion

The wind screamed in the deserted town, collapsed buildings, broken streets, and car wrecks with black smoke rising up. Everything is showing that this small town is dead. Once, thousands of people lived in this small town. The town may not be rich, but it is very lively. People took care of each other and supported each other in this hard time. They are trying to make their lives better, but now, all their efforts have been wasted.

Because they are here.

An empty can was tumbling on the ground, making a series of noises. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the two-story building where the canned food rolled over. He was a man, and there was no clean place on his body. His eyes were red and he ran forward desperately holding a rifle. The man just ran ten meters away when the small building collapsed with a rumble. Something slammed out of the gate directly, hitting the wall, and the building tilted and collapsed.

The thing was so fast that it sparked a bright spark when it stopped on the road. This is a strange creature, covered with dark beetle leaves. The head is large and long, with the front eyes, nostrils and mouth all squeezed together. The crown of the nail leaf on the back has a divergent pattern with fluorescent light flowing from time to time. This monster can move upright and has long arms. On the outer side of the forearm, a bone blade like a shark's dorsal fin stretches out, and the legs have a posterior joint structure. The feet are often large and wide with a hook.

From the back of the head to the spine and then to the tail, it has a row of sharp bone spurs. There is a needle ball-like structure at the end, and the long tail swings, enough to crash into the concrete wall.

The monster stared at the man running in front of him. It leaned forward, kicked its legs vigorously, and chased after the man. The man turned a street and passed through several houses, followed by monsters. In the end, the man jumped into a car and leaped hard over a section of the road. Then he rolled on the ground, and when he bounced up, he saw the monster jumped over the car and landed on the ground.

It hit hard and the ground suddenly collapsed. Below is a square five-meter deep pit, which smashed the monster hard. It shook its head and used its hands and feet to get up. The three eyes on the front of its head saw it at the same time, and several machine guns protruded from the four sides of the pit.

Then there was a burst of intensive gunfire in the city.

The monster was beaten into a sieve, and green fire-like blood flowed from the bullet hole. The man who was responsible for luring the monster over sat down on the ground, yelled a few times, rushed up and shot the monster body in the pit a few more shots, but pulled it down for his companion.

These monsters suddenly appeared two days ago, they appeared without warning, and then the crazy bloodbath of the town. Most of the people died, and the bodies were taken away. Only a small group of people survived and confronted the monsters. These monsters are very agile and have amazing destructive power. The only weak point is defense. Their beetle cannot withstand the attack of a rifle, but these things have amazing vitality. If you can count on one or two shots to kill them, you would be wrong.

In the end, the man who pulled away from his companion didn't even have the strength to swear, so he wept bitterly. His name is Bob, and he is a hunter in the town. The whole family let these monsters be killed, and the worst was the three-year-old son who swallowed the monsters in front of Bob's eyes.

"Okay, Bob. If you have the strength to cry, you might as well see how to get rid of these things." A man patted Bob on the shoulder and said, he has a rough appearance, and his blue-gray eyes always look deep and depressed.

He is the mayor’s sheriff Baal, and right now, he is leading the survivors against other monsters.

"Sheriff, I think we should go." A young man said, he was the sheriff's assistant Walker, a clever young man.

Barr nodded and said to everyone: "Leave here first, the gunfire will attract those things. Walker... Walker!"

When he looked towards Walker inadvertently, Barr happened to see a monster crawling silently behind the young assistant along the root of the wall. While Barr sounded a warning, the monster had already bitten off the young man's head.

"You sons of a bitch!" Barr roared, greeted the monster with the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and gestured for everyone to retreat.

Barr retreated himself, but bumped into someone. Looking back at Bob, the sheriff yelled: "For the sake of God, what are you doing, Bob, run away."

Bob trembled slightly, and said bitterly, "I can't run."

"What?" The sheriff looked over Bob, and a few more monsters appeared in front of the people.

No, not a few, but a group. These black monsters appeared one after another in the shadows of the surrounding buildings. The rooftops or behind the wreckage of cars had already surrounded people. Barr bitterly said: "Damn, do these monsters also set up traps. That was just a bait to lure us out?"

"It seems that it should be right." Bob suddenly shouted: "Come on, you choppy. Before you tear me up, I must kill at least two, no, ten!"

"Come here." The sheriff yelled, leading the people towards a low building in the street. It is only two stories high, but there are few windows and the entrance has only one door. It was a warehouse owned by Hozi, a small merchant in the town. Of course, now Hozi will not jump out and accuse them of using their own warehouse privately, because the fat man has long become a monster's food.

After the sheriff and Bob broke off, they prevented the monster from advancing. Finally, a group of eight people entered the warehouse smoothly, and Barr immediately closed the door. Bob and two other young men moved heavy objects to block the door. Barr yelled: "Window, guard all windows, you can't tell them to come in."

Gunshots reverberated in the town, and more and more monsters gathered in this small warehouse. Soon, the sheriff's ammunition was almost finished, and an atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone in the warehouse.

shock.

At first it was only a slight vibration, only these keen monsters were aware of it. But two minutes later, even the people in the warehouse felt the shaking under their feet.

"What is it?" Bob asked.

Barr shook his head and said, "I don't know, but whatever it is, our situation can't be any worse. Isn't it?"

In such a desperate situation, people laughed instead. Barr said, "How many bombs are there?"

"I have three grenade."

"There are only two detonators..."

Put the bombs together, the number is pitiful. Barr took a breath and said, "Guys, you probably don't want to make monster lunch, do you? So, how about let's give these monsters a big surprise?"

"What do you want to do?" Bob asked.

Barr looked around: "There is nitric acid in Hozi's warehouse, and some other materials. With the things we have on hand, it is enough to make a big gift for the offal. However, we probably won't be able to leave. What do you guys do? Say."

"It's done!" Bob roared: "It's a death anyway, and it's worth killing the offal."

The proposal was passed quickly, and people got busy. Find enough large utensils and materials, and Barr will prepare them in a certain proportion to create a huge bomb. But obviously, they didn't need this bomb, because suddenly there was a rough gunshot outside.

Monsters don't use guns, only humans can use guns. Barr immediately rushed to a small window and saw through the window, a bright line of fire swept across the street, sweeping over the monsters. Following the tall walking mecha appeared in the window, the revolver cannon suspended on the mecha blasted powerful bullets into the bodies of the monsters, blasting them into the body.

"It's a Paladin mech! The reinforcements of the Pope's Hall are here!" Barr exclaimed excitedly.

A total of five Paladins appeared on the street near the warehouse, and four of them were fired with revolver guns to kill the monsters near the warehouse. The other raised two mechanical arms, and sprayed a fire dragon from the external suspension member of the arm, but it turned out to be a flamethrower. The high temperature and flames swept around, and after dispelling the remaining monsters, Barr and the others cautiously walked out of the warehouse.

The pilot on a Paladin mech reported by radio: "Head Yafidi, we have found the survivors."

"You bring them to a safe area, and the others continue to clean up."

"Understood."

Following the previous mecha to the safe area outside the town, Barr saw a mecha entering the town. These big machines whizzing past made them refreshed. Coming to the outside of the town, a temporary camp has been opened here. There are five long trailers parked in the camp, and the carriages on one side of the trailers are opened and lowered to connect with the ground to form a slope.

One of the mechas in the carriage slid down from above, and then a group of five entered the town and launched annihilation operations on the monsters.

It was Yafidi who commanded this battle. After Paul, the new pope took office, as one of the few old commanders of the Knights of the Seal, Yafidi was given an important mission. Just yesterday, the base he was stationed at received a report of a monster attack. Under the order of the new commander of the Knights, Black Wing, Yafidi led a mecha unit.

After seeing the survivors of Barr, Yafidi placed them in a tent and asked the military doctors accompanying them to conduct detailed inspections for these people. After knowing that Barr was the sheriff of the town, Yafidi called him out.

"Sergeant Barr, how much do you know about these monsters?" Yafidi asked: "Where do they come from and how many are there? Please tell me everything you know."

Barr smiled bitterly: "My lord, I don't know much. Two days ago in the evening, they suddenly attacked our town. Damn, when I was having dinner, such a monster suddenly came in. I After desperately escaping, I found monsters everywhere in the town. I was lucky and hid it. Until most of the monsters were gone, I found some other lucky guys."

"We have no supplies, and there are monsters wandering outside the town, so we can't leave. We have to stay and fight against them. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise we must not be able to survive today."

Yafidi nodded and said, "You said most monsters left, can you tell me the exact number?"

"Many, at least hundreds of them."

"Well, it's okay, you go down and rest first." Yafidi patted his shoulder.

At this time, a guard shouted: "Head of the regiment, you have to come."

Yafidi walked over and got into an armored car with the guards. This armored vehicle is actually a mobile biochemical laboratory, and there is a monster corpse on an operating table in the compartment. Several researchers are dissecting this monster. The monster was shot and killed by passers-by who came by the army. This corpse was considered relatively complete, so it was handed over to the biological team.

The leader of the biology team is a middle-aged man in his forties. He nodded when he saw Yafidi and told several assistants to continue working. I left the operating table and came to Yafidi after disinfecting, and smiled bitterly: "Head Yafidi, these are not ordinary monsters. We have already carried out anatomy on it, and to be honest, as a living creature, Their structure and organs are too simple."

"Too simple?" Yafidi said: "Can you elaborate more?"

"Let's put it this way, whether we are humans or mutant beasts. As living creatures, we have various functional organs in our bodies to help us adapt to the environment and ensure our survival. But this kind of creatures, let's call them creatures. These guys have a single organ. That thing is like an integrator, which combines all the organs with many functions of the organism. I don’t think this is an evolutionary phenomenon, because we don’t have it in other organisms. A similar phenomenon has been discovered. If it has evolved, then the gap between it and us would be too big."

"You mean, this is a standard weapon made for a certain purpose?" Yafidi said.

"It can be said. After they have integrated organs, they can save energy to a large extent. From my personal point of view, no creature can achieve such a high efficiency, even if it is a powerful person like you. "The team leader said: "Efficient and concise, isn't it the characteristics of war weapons? What's more, these guys have almost the same size and even cells, which are basically things that have come down the assembly line."

"That's even more strange, which laboratory produced these biological weapons..." Yafiddy shook his head, a little confused.

The door of the armored vehicle was knocked, and Yafidi opened the door. A soldier said anxiously: "Commander, just received the report. There are a lot of monsters in the east of the town. We need reinforcements."

"I see." Yafidi pushed the soldiers: "Go and inform the base to send another mech squadron over. I will go to the town now."

"But your Knights of the Round Table didn't bring it."

"It's okay, can't I drive the Paladin?" Yafidi smiled and ran to a truck that intercepted mecha.

After a while, he personally drove a paladin to the ground and headed towards the town. After experiencing the Sauron incident, Paul vigorously developed the mecha technology of the Pope’s Hall according to what Zero Day said. At present, the fourth generation of empty angels has been perfected and can be put into actual combat. Other generations of mechas have also undergone upgrades and modifications, but the smallest changes and the greatest gains are undoubtedly these generations of Paladin mechas.

When the mecha engineers received the upgrade and modification of the Paladin, they did their homework in terms of cost and efficiency, and finally focused on improving the flexibility of the mecha and changing the previous single attack mode. After nearly a year of trial and error, a fully upgraded Paladin mecha has been completed. Now equipped with controllable pulleys on the feet, as long as a command from the driver's position, the mecha can switch between walking and sliding modes.

At the same time, the jet acceleration action is added, which allows the Paladin mecha to move and accelerate in a short period of time, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly leaving or cutting in.

In terms of weapon system, in addition to the traditional killer of revolver guns, peripheral components such as flamethrowers, howitzers, wrist-arm rapid-fire machine guns, and small cannons have also been added. According to needs and purposes, targeted loading can be carried out before being put into combat.

At the moment, the Paladin that Yafidi is driving does not have a revolver cannon. Its weapons are small cannons mounted on the shoulders, rapid-fire machine guns on the wrists of the mecha, and a high-frequency knife suspended behind the mecha. High-frequency knives are not commonly used in mech combat. This type of weapon that requires close-range attacks to be able to exert destructive power cannot be used freely by every pilot.

Of course, Yafidi has no problems in this regard. A high-frequency knife in his hand can play a greater role than a revolver cannon.

After the mecha switches to the sliding movement mode, a row of metal pulleys rises on the soles of the mecha~lightnovelpub.net~, like the row pulleys under the skates. The driver only needs to master the balance and control the pair of mechas. Alternately sliding the foot without interruption can move quickly. Under the operation of Yafidi, the mech quickly glided across the streets of the town.

Seeing that he was about to reach the other side of the town, an explosion suddenly appeared in front of him. An orange fireball appeared from the corner of the street, and the dead flames rolled across the long street like waves. The mecha had to make a turn, the pulley drew sparks on the ground, and the mecha stopped under emergency braking. Several nearby buildings collapsed. Through the dense smoke, Yafidi in the cab could see some black figures entangled with several Paladin mechas on the other side of the street.

He snorted and wanted to step forward to support. Suddenly, the radar on the bridge showed that several light spots were quickly approaching him. The next moment, six dark monsters jumped out of the buildings on the left and right, and leaped towards Yafidi’s mecha with their teeth and claws.

The cannon fired immediately, first blasting the two monsters from the left. Following the roar of the wrist-armor machine gun on the left arm of the mecha, the flying projectile blasted the remaining monster on the left to scurry around. At the same time, the two sides of the mecha that locked the high-frequency knife on the back of the mecha opened, and the mecha's right hand probed, the long knife made a sharp flash, and the two monsters on the right side were divided into corpses.

All actions were completed almost instantaneously, and the attacking monsters had already lay down four.
