Chapter 82 I'm Dead
Chapter 82 I'm Dead
Originally, there were 3,000 mutated beasts that landed, but now, there were less than 2,000 that arrived in Haimen City. More than 1,000 mutated beasts had died in the trap on the coast.
However, even though the number of mutated beasts had been reduced by nearly half, the pressure on Haimen City had not lessened much. Those mutated beasts that had died in the trap were only the weakest batch. The remaining 2,000 mutated beasts were truly difficult to deal with.
The damage dealt by the weapons on the city wall to these mutated beasts was rather limited. Killing a mutated beast would take a lot of ammunition and time. Especially if a warrior-level mutated beast got close to the city wall, it would cause unimaginable damage to the city wall.
The walls of Haimen City were much taller than the walls of Zhanlong City, and their hardness was far from being comparable to the walls of Zhanlong City. However, if warrior-level mutated beasts continued to attack the walls, the walls would still collapse.
Moreover, this was only the first batch. From the satellite images, one could see that the mutated beasts in the surrounding sea area were constantly rushing over. It seemed that something was attracting these mutated beasts in Haimen City.
This was destined to be a protracted war. After discovering this situation, Jiang Wen had already requested help from Tianjing City. The scale of such an attack had already exceeded the limits that Haimen City could withstand. He needed the support of other cities.
However, reinforcements were already a matter of the future. What they needed to worry about now was whether they could withstand the first wave of attacks, or how they could defend this wave at the smallest cost.
"Twenty-five warrior-level mutated beasts!" Kong Yun snorted. This number was obviously more than what he had detected, and it was much more troublesome.
It was not an easy task to stop 25 warrior-level mutated beasts. Although Kong Yun's metal ability was mainly defensive, stopping 25 warrior-level mutated beasts consumed a lot of energy.
"Whoosh!" A sharp whistle rang out as a fiery red figure appeared above Haimen City. Its wingspan covered the sky and covered the sun. In the past two days, the size of the phoenix had actually increased again. Its wingspan had already reached 25 meters. Such a large figure was rare among warrior-level mutated beasts.
"Swoosh!" The fiery phoenix's sharp claws grabbed onto an octopus mutated beast, and flames gushed out. This octopus mutated beast's body was unable to withstand the high temperature and rapidly shrank.
Although the strength of an ocean mutated beast like an octopus would be affected after landing on land, the fact that the Fire Phoenix was able to kill this mutated octopus beast so easily meant that the current strength of the Fire Phoenix was far greater than that of an ordinary soldier-level mutated beast.
Although the ocean was the cradle of mutated beasts, countless powerful mutated beasts had been born. These mutated beasts fought each other, and only the strongest mutated beasts could survive in the ocean.
Fire Phoenix hadn't experienced many battles since she was born, but she couldn't hold on to good food. She had eaten too many mutated beast cores and marrow fluids on that island, and her growth rate far exceeded that of ordinary mutated beasts.
There was no attribute restriction on the mutated beast devouring the crystal core. After devouring a large number of crystal cores, the fire phoenix's fire ability was also evolving. Not to mention anything else, just the temperature of the fire was more than one level higher than before.
In the blink of an eye, only twenty-four of the twenty-five warrior-level mutated beasts remained. The Buddha Sword in Kong Yun's hand flew out and pierced through the head of a warrior-level mutated beast without any hindrance.
"Twenty-three!" Kong Yun snorted and recalled the Pagoda Sword, his golden wings protecting his body.
"Ding ding ding!" A series of water arrows struck the metal wings.
Most of the mutated beasts in the ocean were water-type, and the water arrow was the most common ability amongst the mutated beasts in the ocean.
Although it was the most ordinary ability, it still possessed astonishing power in the hands of a warrior-level mutated beast. Especially when thousands of mutated beasts shot water arrows at the same time, the scene was quite shocking.
"Activate the shield!" Under Jiang Wen's command, a blue light barrier appeared above Haimen City. Over a thousand water arrows hit the light barrier, but it only caused a small ripple to appear on the light barrier. The light barrier did not even shake.
The blue light shield immediately dissipated after this wave of water arrows. This was also to save energy. The energy required to maintain the shield was an astonishing figure, even if Haimen City could not activate the shield for a long time.
In just one breath's time, more than a hundred Mortal Rank mutated beast cores were drained of energy.
This type of shield was a masterpiece of the military. Using mutated beasts and zombie cores as energy sources, the shield's defensive capabilities were extremely strong. It could even block the attacks of corporal-level mutated beasts head-on. The only drawback was that it consumed too much energy.
Kong Yun spread his wings and was unharmed by such a dense array of water arrows!
"Break!" Kong Yun shouted loudly, and the Buddha Sword cut off the mutated beast's head beside him.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The twenty-three mutated beasts roared angrily as they charged towards Kong Yun.
"Boom!" Dozens of laser beams shot out from the city wall, each beam accurately piercing through the head of a warrior-level mutated beast!
The mutated beast's vitality was indeed formidable, but its entire head was blown apart. No matter how strong its vitality was, it would still be completely dead.
The city wall to the east faced the sea. The number of laser cannons on the city wall was the largest, with a total of twenty. A single round of combined fire had caused enormous damage to the mutated beast herd.
There were only six of the twenty-three mutated beasts left, but even the remaining six were crippled. Even if they were to survive, there was almost no threat to Haimen City.
The energy of laser cannons firing once was astonishing, so the soldiers who controlled laser cannons were the elites of the Haimen military, striving to achieve the best results with each cannon.
Laser cannons could be said to be the strongest weapon humans had at present, and even warrior-level mutated beasts were unable to block them head-on.
Kong Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Two minutes had passed so quickly, and his soldier-level mutated beasts had gathered together. The laser cannons on the city walls were able to kill these soldier-level mutated beasts so easily.
After the laser cannon was fired, The cannons on the city wall continued to fire, The bombardment lasted for two hours. Only when there was nothing moving under the city wall did the fire stop. Heavy armored vehicles drove out of Haimen City. The armor of these armored vehicles reached an unimaginable height of two meters. It was like a city wall. Hundreds of armored vehicles were connected together. There was actually another city wall outside Haimen City.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The zombies that were stimulated to the point of going mad by the fresh blood frantically rushed towards the armored vehicle, but the heavy armored vehicle remained motionless in the face of the tide of zombies, as steady as Mount Tai.
When the defensive line of the armored vehicle was completely stabilized, thousands of colonial mechs jumped off the city wall and wielded laser guns to kill the zombies within the defensive line.
After dealing with the zombies within the defensive line, these mecha began to move the corpses of the mutated beasts and extract the marrow fluid. Whether it was the mutated beasts or zombies, anything of value would be taken away.
Jiang Wen looked at the screen proudly and said, "The shield-armored war chariots developed by our military possess heavy armor. Every shield-armored war chariot can deploy 50 meters of heavy shields. These heavy shields are connected together to form a city wall. Even fire zombies and super Titan zombies cannot be broken in a short period of time."
The existence of the shield-armored war chariots gave the military of Haimen City the ability to seize resources from the city. After all, these mutated beasts and zombies that had been killed were all treasures. They could greatly increase the strength of the military, so the military naturally would not just watch.
"The remaining mutated beasts will still attack. I'm afraid these shield-armored chariots won't be able to last long, right?" Ye Shiya asked.
"That's why we only have half an hour. After half an hour, all the shield-armored chariots will retreat into the city." Jiang Wen said.
After the battle, Kong Yun was not in the conference room. Ten tons of steel had completely submerged Kong Yun's body. Kong Yun touched the Buddha Sword in his hand. Just as he was killing the mutated beast, the Buddha Sword had a strange reaction to his ability. It was as if he could refine the Buddha Sword!
Back then, when he obtained the Pagoda Sword from the zombie with the sword on his back, Kong Yun had tried to refine the Pagoda Sword. However, there was a peculiar power on the Pagoda Sword that prevented him from refining it.
At that time, Kong Yun was only a small B-class Adept, and the metal Adept was only at the initial stage. His strength was completely incomparable to the current one.
This was undoubtedly good news. If he could refine the Pagoda Sword, it would be so sharp. The metal used to refine the Pagoda Sword would definitely be extraordinary. If he swallowed this metal, Kong Yun's metal ability would probably be incredibly powerful.
Since he was able to refine it, Kong Yun naturally did not hesitate to refine it.
Under the effect of the metal ability, the Pagoda Sword gradually decomposed and merged with Kong Yun's metal ability.
However, after refining the Pagoda Sword, it wasn't as Kong Yun had expected. His ability didn't change much. The metal used to refine the Pagoda Sword was actually so … ordinary.
Compared to ordinary steel, the metal of the Buddha Sword was naturally not bad, but it was far from being comparable to basalt iron. However, the weapons forged from basalt iron were far less sharp than the Buddha Sword in terms of sharpness.
"Is there something I don't know about this?" Kong Yun frowned.
He had always thought that the reason why the Pagoda Sword was so powerful was because of its special material, but now it seemed that he had thought wrong.
The material of the Pagoda Sword was not enough to display such astonishing strength. Kong Yun had already swallowed the Pagoda Sword. Not only did he not increase his abilities, he also lost the Pagoda Sword. This was all due to bleeding.
At this moment, Kong Yun felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping in his heart. Heavenly sins could still be forgiven for their own sins. He had actually destroyed the Buddha's Sword and lost the Buddha's Sword. If he wanted to kill a warrior-level mutated beast, it would not be so easy for him to do so.
Even the weakest taxi-level mutated beast had extremely strong vitality. Unless he cut off his head and hit the vital point, it would be very difficult to kill it. Even if he could kill a taxi-level mutated beast now, it would take him tens of times more effort.
"You tricked me to death!" Kong Yun wished he could cut off his hand, so why did he owe him so much?
