"Those two-legged animals are so weak that they can be knocked down with just one fist! Do you want to be defeated by that kind of thing?!"
The main entrance of Champion Biopharmaceutical Research Institute.
The three-meter-long mutant captain roared furiously, like a vicious dog with explosive hair, urging his minions to come forward.
His name is Hogg, a warrior named by Garn himself, and he is also the most loyal and brave warrior under that lord.
In the Qi tribe, where the strong are respected, he was trained by Jia En as the successor to the next clan leader, which is why he was entrusted with the important task of guarding this research institute.
This is the link that maintains the covenant between the Qi Tribe and the Torch Church, and is also the center of the transformation of the Qi Tribe's prosthetic body.
Jia En ordered him to lead more than a thousand men to defend this place.
He solemnly swore to Garn that he would not let this institute fall into the hands of the Alliance no matter what!
As long as I can hold on for another two weeks...
The eternal kingdom of heaven will completely remain in this land!
Hogg gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
"...Come up to me! Eat their flesh, drink their blood, chop them into minced meat! Make them into a sofa!"
The roar sounded very powerful, and it really ignited the blood in the chests of many mutant soldiers, causing many green-skinned animals to roar forward.
However, in the face of that violent storm-like offensive, all these struggles were so feeble.
The main entrance of the research institute has been turned into a bloody meat grinder, and the lives of the mutant soldiers on the front line are almost turning into flying flesh in seconds.
Under the cover of armored combat vehicles, the alliance's offensive was like an unstoppable spearhead, tearing apart the defense line of the institute's gate with devastating force.
A Chimera armored vehicle ran up the stairs and directly crashed into the wall of the hall. The black muzzle stretched out and fired a burst of bang bang bang.
The sandbags piled in the corridors and stairwells were instantly blown away, and the mutant soldiers hiding behind were crushed into pulp by the tracers as thick as pythons.
Immediately behind came Iron Knob, wielding a chain saw.
The roaring saw blade was like a hound grinding its teeth, and the green paint had been marinated in blood and minced meat and turned red.
It looked like an evil spirit coming out of hell.
The moment they met the murderous humanoid armor, the green faces were filled with panic, and the automatic rifles and shotguns in their hands trembled involuntarily.
They couldn't tell the difference for a moment——
Who is more like a beast?
"Haha! Crazy! Totally crazy!!"
Rampantly charging into the mutant camp, Midnight Killer excitedly wielded the chain saw and was completely red-eyed.
This steel body suits him perfectly!
The only drawback is that the serial level and experience are locked, and sometimes I get crazy and can't stop the car...but these are minor problems.
This is the war between humans and mutants.
It is a war between civilization and barbarism.
There is no such thing as prisoners in this war.
Of course there is no need to show mercy!
Seeing the Jungle Corps cutting the mutants into eight pieces, all the players in the Skeleton Corps had no chance to take action. They turned off the safety and lowered the muzzle of their guns.
The main reason is that there is no way to take action.
In such a narrow building terrain, Chicken Brother alone can occupy two-thirds of the corridor, and two strength beasts wearing heavy-duty exoskeletons block the way forward.
If you fire at this time, more than 80% of the damage will be friendly damage.
Yin Leina, who was leaning next to the armored vehicle, looked at the iron bump wielding a chain saw in front of her with a funny face and made a joke.
"Brother Chicken is going crazy."
The rich man's teasing voice soon came over the communication channel.
"What cybermaniac."
Yin Leina: "Haha."
"Let him go crazy..." Mole poked his head out of the turret and joked with a smile, "He doesn't have much normal time anyway."
The battle went smoothly.
It even went smoothly beyond his expectation.
Previously, these mutants were able to fight back and forth with the Alliance's frontline troops relying on the support of vehicles and the unexpected transformation of their cyborgs. However, as those vehicles were continuously destroyed by Chimera armored vehicles, the cyborg mutants also gradually
Killed in battle, the remaining mutants couldn't even organize a decent resistance.
In fact, they do not have much strength left to struggle. In the previous rounds of offensives, their effective strength itself has been exhausted, but the alliance's strength is almost endless.
Suddenly remembering what she had promised Brother Mosquito on the forum, Yin Leina looked at the Elf King Fugui.
"It sounds like we promised Mosquito to help him find his lost prosthetic body."
"Let's go wait until the fight is over."
"Hopefully it will be over before dark."
"It's dark?" Brother Fugui smiled and curled his lips, "With these little beasts, how can they hold on until noon?"
While he was talking, a power beast wearing a K10 "Iron Wall" exoskeleton from a distance came over and took off the mask of his helmet.
Looking at Lao Na and Lao Wang who looked very relaxed at first glance, the Pi City paratrooper raised his hand and said hello.
"Hey, are you guys free?"
Yin Leina asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? Need help?"
The Piltover paratrooper nodded helplessly.
"The elevator to the underground laboratory was demolished by those beasts. They seemed determined to fight us to the end. We attacked down from the fire escape, but it was too narrow and our people got stuck in it."
The underground laboratory has the nature of a nuclear bunker. The fire escapes and elevators are not connected to the above-ground buildings and need to be entered from the lobby on the first floor.
The Jungle Corps has controlled the exits of each floor of the above-ground building and is killing the remaining mutants floor by floor. However, the underground offensive is not going very smoothly.
The mutants blew up elevators and freight elevators, and set up a large number of traps and bunkers at the only fire escape.
Upon hearing that someone was stuck inside, Elf King Fugui laughed out loud.
"Damn it, who is so embarrassed?"
Piltover Paratrooper: "The Field Worker asked me not to tell anyone."
"puff--"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Looking at the laughing Lao Na and Lao Wang, Mole, who was holding back his laughter, coughed twice and said.
"Go and help them."
Yin Leina made an OK gesture and reloaded the rifle hanging on her chest with a smile.
"Ook!"
…
Champion Biological Research Institute, the entrance to the power room of the underground research area, Hogg is guarding here with his most loyal subordinates.
Listening to the gunshots and explosions that were getting closer and closer, a trace of fear finally appeared on that green face full of flesh.
What he fears is not his own death.
It was the situation in front of him that left him with no hope of turning defeat into victory.
Is this the end of their tribe?
Even the second most valiant warrior of the Qi Tribe was like this, not to mention the others. The morale of the entire team was extremely low.
Although the leader repeatedly ordered not to whisper, the mutants squatting behind the bunker couldn't help but whisper.
"Where are our allies..."
"I heard that they launched an attack on the Alliance last night...the sound of cannon fire last night was caused by them."
"The movement was quite loud."
"Did you win?"
"You still have to ask...that airship is still there."
"I heard that our clan leader was also there last night!"
"Could it be that the patriarch has already..."
Listening to the growing discussion, Hogg, who was already restless, suddenly became furious and yelled at the guys who were whispering to each other.
"Shut up! Cowards! The patriarch is fine now and doesn't need your attention! Keep an eye on your defense area, and if I hear someone talking about Lord Garn again, I will rip out his tongue!"
Seeing the furious Hogg, all the green-skinned beasts suddenly fell silent and did not dare to whisper anymore.
However, although Hogg blocked their mouths, he could not stop them from thinking wildly.
They have all reached this point, and even a pig can guess that their heads are probably cold, and most of their allies have already given up on them.
They are simply dying.
This is completely meaningless resistance!
When I thought of this, the green faces became even more desperate.
At this moment, a deafening explosion came from the direction of the fire escape.
After a burst of crackling gunshots, there was the creaking sound of a saw blade tearing off bones and bursts of shrill screams.
The hearts of all the mutants unconsciously rose to their throats, and the holes hidden in the shadows were filled with fear and panic.
As if to dispel the fear in his chest, Hogg raised the fist-thick iron blunderbuss in his hand and loaded it with a click.
"Ready to fight!!"
Hearing that powerful voice, all the mutants braced themselves and roared.
"Oh oh oh!!"
…
At the entrance to the fire escape of the underground research area, dozens of corpses were lying strewn about.
Most of them belong to mutants, which can be seen at a glance by their green skin. There are also a small number of players who threw them away, and most of them are embedded in the remains of exoskeletons.
War propaganda posters are pasted on the alloy walls, some of which are clippings cut from magazines or newspapers, mainly about the victory news on the front line.
Ironically, the battlefield of the three-year war spanned several light years, and the war had not affected this underground bunker.
Today, more than two centuries later, the gray alloy walls are covered with dense bullet holes, and the blood that overflows in the corridor almost reaches the soles of boots.
"...The power room is right in front!" After confirming the map on the VM, the Pi City paratrooper wearing a heavy-duty exoskeleton and walking in front to clear the way shouted to the brothers behind him, "Vital sign signal detected! This is The last room!”
Yin Lena clicked on the taskbar and took a look.
"The remaining mutants are probably here. I remember that the pseudo-brood should be in the power room...the nuclear fuel seems to be stored in a backup warehouse."
"Give them a good time!"
As he said that, the Piltover paratrooper laughed ferociously, and the chain saw in his hand whined, making the air in the entire corridor seem to get hotter.
Looking at the Pi City paratrooper who was about to move forward, Elf King Fugui suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
The Piltover paratrooper stopped and looked back at him.
"what?"
The Elf King Fugui chuckled, took out a big treasure, put it on his shoulder, and said with joy.
"Try this thing!"
The Piltover paratrooper raised his eyebrows.
Good guy!
RPG?
"Did you bring this thing down?"
"Hey, it's a new warhead!"
While he was talking, Elf King Fugui had already inserted the rocket, which was almost as thick as his thigh, into the launch tube.
Seeing that the thing looked quite unique, the Piltover paratrooper took a closer look curiously and turned off the chain saw in his hand.
"...What the hell is this?"
Putting the loaded launcher on his shoulder, Elf King Fugui said with a beaming expression.
"Thermobaric bomb!"
"What the hell!?"
When they heard that it was a thermobaric bomb, the surrounding players were instantly shocked. Regardless of whether it was true or false, except for Lao Na, who was still calm, they all hid behind.
"Made by imitating the TBG-7V thermobaric bullet... Don't make a fuss, but that guy from Mosquito is pretty awesome, and he copied this thing!"
During the introduction, Elf King Fugui felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
This goblin technology is really getting more and more advanced.
Unlike fragmentation grenades, this thermobaric bomb does not have prefabricated fragments and relies entirely on shock waves and high temperatures to kill targets.
The killing effect on targets in open areas is average, but the killing effect on closed buildings is ridiculously high.
And the fewer windows, the more lethal it is!
The temperature and pressure environment of ten to fifteen atmospheres formed in an instant is enough to blast all known carbon-based organisms into slag!
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Not bothering to listen to his bragging, Yin Leina had already walked to the side of the trap door and held the door handle.
Brother Fugui chuckled and pointed at the door panel.
"I'll count to three, please open the door."
When Lao Na heard this, she didn't dare to play such a difficult game with him, and immediately opened the trap door.
The bullet whizzed out of the room, startling Brother Fugui, and he reflexively pulled the trigger.
A streak of white smoke shot out from the launch tube, dragging its swaying tail flame into the open trap door.
Fortunately, the rocket flew in.
Otherwise the whole corridor will be roasted.
At the same time, in the power room, Hogg, who was waiting carefully, was startled when he saw the rocket coming through the door.
He was ready for a decisive battle with the Alliance, but he didn't expect that these guys were so ungrateful that they would shoot them with rocket launchers.
"Get down!!"
He roared and lay down on the ground. However, he soon discovered that this action was so unnecessary.
The roar of the explosion and ten times the air pressure instantly poured into his eardrums, and he lost his hearing before he could even scream.
Not just hearing.
The scorching high temperature dried up all the body fluids in his body in an instant, and then his skin was carbonized, followed by the meridians and flesh under the skin.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Hogg, who was blind, let out a heartbreaking cry. He just hoped that his opponent could give him a good time.
His wish was soon fulfilled.
The heartbreaking pain did not torture him for long, and soon he, like other mutants, was roasted into a lake of flesh and blood in this purgatory.
The screams and wails in the power room finally stopped, and a group of players, whose helmets were covered with dust, poked their heads into the room from outside the door.
There were no living creatures in the entire power room, only burnt or torn corpses.
The temperature of the air was so hot that it was like an oven that was boiling to the extreme. Even if you stood at the door, you would be burned and there was no way to enter.

Everyone waited until the high temperature dissipated before carefully entering the power room.
Seeing the mess in the room, Elf King Fugui couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Oh my god...this weapon is so inhumane."
I will definitely criticize it carefully when I go back to the forum!
The Piltover paratrooper grinned.
"How can we be humane with beasts?"
Although I didn't feel happy in the end, this way of death was not cheap for these beasts.
"That's right." Elf King Fugui walked forward and kicked open the half-dragged door at the end of the power room.
A foul smell wafted from behind the door.
He turned on the flashlight and found a ring-shaped device inside, which was somewhat similar to the reactor in the shelter.
What is surprising is not the reactor, but the shocking pieces of meat growing on the reactor.
The ominous dark green color fills almost every corner of this machine.
This is the core of Naguo!
The culprit who caused the spore cloud to spread throughout Jinhe City!
A pseudo-mother nest synthesized by biotechnology!
"Is this what the brood nest looks like?"
Yin Leina walked into the door and glanced at the nest, feeling that it was both a beating heart and a large nugget.
I don't know what it tastes like either.
"The scientific name is Naguo Core... I wonder if the one in Qingquan City looks like this," said Elf King Fugui, who glanced at Lao Na next to him and said with a strange expression, "You don't want to try it, do you?"
Yin Leina rolled her eyes.
"Am I that kind of person?"
This thing is so green that you can’t eat it at first sight.
And the key is that it's such a big lump, even if he wanted to eat it, he wouldn't be able to find where to eat it.
However, the other players standing aside didn't believe what he said, and they all showed "isn't it?" expressions.
Ignoring these idiots, Yin Leina took out the explosive she carried, installed it near the pseudo-brood nest, and then urged everyone to evacuate from the power room.
At this time, news from teammates came through the communication channel. After hearing this, the Pi City paratroopers looked at everyone aside and said.
"Power to the freight elevator has been restored, and nuclear fuel and other loot have been packaged and sent to the surface... It's time for us to evacuate."
Everyone got on the elevator to the surface. Before the elevator door closed, Yin Leina held the detonator in her hand.
The bomb countdown begins.
Taking one last look at the corridor of the Flesh Mold Lake, facing the closed elevator door, Elf King Fugui still had a somewhat unfinished expression on his face.
"This mission...is over?"
I heard that the fight the brothers of the Burning Legion had on the deck last night was thrilling, and they encountered almost no decent resistance.
It always feels like it’s over before the fun is over.
Yin Leina said with a subtle expression.
"Pretty much...the winner was decided last night, and the next step is probably to clean up the battlefield."
The elevator arrived soon.
Almost at the same time they left the elevator, the tremor of distance came from under their feet, and the whole building shook.
The wealthy man who had just stepped out of the elevator stumbled and almost fell, but had to hold on to the wall beside him.
"Holy crap, how many seconds did you set the explosive fuse?"
Obviously, she didn't expect the power of that humble bomb to be so exaggerated. Yin Leina also looked confused and said while looking at the gradually sloping ceiling.
"I reckon half a minute should be enough."
Could that thing be a nuclear bomb?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the brothers of the Burning Corps seemed to have seized a batch of tactical nuclear weapons in Boulder City.
The smallest model among them is only the size of a fist, but it is powerful enough to blow up a street.
Maybe...
It's really that stuff.
The Piltover paratrooper's scalp felt numb for a while.
"Half a minute is indeed enough, but why do I always have an ominous premonition..."
Seeing that the chain reaction caused by the explosion did not stop at all, Mole's expression gradually changed as he sat in the turret of the armored vehicle.
He kicked the driver violently and shouted towards the bottom of the turret.
"Reverse! Hurry!"
Fortunately, the battle upstairs is over.
Almost at the same time that the players were hurriedly withdrawing from the research institute, the building that had stood for more than two centuries slowly collapsed...
…
The bridge of the Heart of Steel.
Chu Guang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looking in the direction of Singularity City, watching the building slowly fall towards the ruins behind it.
Although the fog outside the window has not yet dissipated, the well-behaved and sensible Xiao Qi has thoughtfully projected the images captured by the drone on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This is still the best viewing seat.
You'er, who was fixed in the wheelchair, sat next to Chu Guang, looking at the billowing dust, his eyes a little lost.
That's where it all started.
It also became the end of all this.
After a while, his Adam's apple moved.
"……finished."
Chu Guang glanced at him and said slowly.
"Far from it. I'm afraid it will take decades or decades to make up for the evil you think you've committed. I'm afraid it will take a long time for the suffering in this land to end completely."
Yule smiled bitterly and closed his eyes while looking at the ceiling above his head.
Looking at the apostle with his eyes closed, Chu Guang continued.
"But objectively speaking, the anti-radiation agent and anti-radiation agent you studied have helped many people."
Yule shook his head.
"That's not my fault alone."
"I know, I have never said that," Chu Guangyan said concisely, "Just like the building you see now, that thing was not pushed down by one person, but the result of everyone's joint determination.
, our history also progresses in this way.”
Yule fell into silence, with an expression on his face that looked both confession and pure pain.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked at Chu Guang standing aside and spoke slowly.
"What are you going to do with me?"
Chu Guang said casually.
"It depends on how you intend to atone for your sins."
Yule looked at him with some surprise.
"...Do I have any options?"
"Of course, for example... you can go to Vault 79, which is now the Alliance's biological research base. There is a group of biological experts and a large lizard that has lived longer than anyone else. We still have a mountain of questions
It needs to be solved, where you can use your knowledge and the rest of your life to help those who survive."
After a pause, Chu Guang looked at him and continued.
"Of course, you can also choose to say goodbye to this world with a 9mm bullet. This is the fastest and painless way."
Yule smiled bitterly.
"The latter sounds easier."
Chu Guang glanced at Lu Bei.
The loyal young man understood immediately and stepped forward to help Youle release his right hand. He then pulled out his own pistol, loaded it, unloaded the magazine and handed it to him.
After staring at the pistol in his hand in silence for a long time, Yule sighed and closed the open safety.
"...I choose the former."
Perhaps death was the easiest choice, but he suddenly thought of Yin Yin... the little girl he wanted to let go but failed to save in the end.
Chu Guang stared at his eyes for a while, and suddenly a trace of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
"Are you Yuer or Luo Gan now?"
He had figured it out during the previous interrogation.
The two personalities of Luo Gan and Yu Er exist in this guy at the same time, but one is stored in his brain and the other is stored in the bionic chip.
Strictly speaking, this is true for everyone who has been implanted with a chip, whether it is Yule in front of him or Yin Yin lying in the cryo-sleep cabin.
Each of them is Luo Gan.
The ghost split himself into countless parts and hid them in every container he thought was suitable. And that container was the utopia in people's minds - the so-called sanctuary.
Perhaps because he recognized himself clearly, Yule's answer this time was not as hesitant as last time, and he said it in a voice with a hint of certainty.
"Both."
Slowly looking at Chu Guang, Yuer continued.
"Can I...ask you a question too?"
Chu Guang said simply.
"Just ask."
Yule stared into his eyes.
"How can you guarantee that... the road ahead of you will be different from the choice I once made, and won't be another kind of hell?"
He didn't know what was at the end of this road. He just wanted to know why the manager of the shelter in front of him was so confident.
However, Chu Guang's answer was completely beyond his expectation.
"I can't promise that."
Looking at Yu Er who looked astonished, Chu Guang paused and continued speaking matter-of-factly.
"I'm just a mortal, not a savior, and I don't have the ability to predict the future. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will live up to people's trust in me and try my best to do what I can. As for whether I will fall into a trap tomorrow Here, I don’t know either.”
"But I will discuss with them, face common problems or bugs together, and discuss how to go next. Even if sometimes their opinions are immature or even naive, it doesn't matter. We The alliance was not built in a day."
"If hell is waiting for us ahead, that is our common choice. But I believe that even if one day we stand in hell with both feet, our unity will allow us to walk out of there side by side."
Yule sighed and slowly lowered his head.
"I wish I had met you twenty years earlier..."
If the gears of fate hadn't shown that slight deviation, if he hadn't met the man named Luo Gan twenty years ago...
Maybe his fate and that of all the survivors on this land will be different.
