She held on to Zero even more tightly, hoping that this road would never end.
Zero did not know what Biansi was thinking, he only felt the jade person in his embrace suddenly hug him tightly, and thought that Biansi was afraid. He glared at the monsters that were chasing him and raised his hand. Incomparable power surged from his body and continuously poured into the sniper rifle in his hand like a convergence of thousands of rivers.
In the next moment, he pressed the trigger.
The moment the muzzle of the rifle vibrated, a sniper shot flew out. It reached a speed of two thousand meters per second as it shot towards the monster, leaving a clear trail of flames behind it.
The monster did not dodge.
But he didn't expect that the blow this time was completely different from the one before.
When the bullet entered its body less than half a second later, there was a sudden flash of energy on the warhead that was still penetrating the monster's body. In an instant, a fireball exploded from the monster's body. The violent energy wreaked havoc in its body like a storm.
Naturally, it was not given a normal bullet, but rather the Wanderer's signature move, Death Strike, which was infused with all of its might and terrifying energy!
The energy storm released by Death Strike exploded on the monster's back, creating a terrifying bloody hole. The left side of the monster's upper body had almost disappeared, leaving only its arm and a few pieces of flesh attached to its body. The shockwave from the explosion caused the monster to lose its balance. It missed its target and fell into the abyss. Sounds of collisions could be heard in succession. It was unknown how many buildings and tunnels the monster had destroyed.
Zero only knew that if they were to return to Well of the Abyss, Chalod and Yue Yang would have to pay for the repair of the city.
Returning to the loading plaza, Zero put Biansi down and said, "Quickly, you leave this place first. That thing is not simple, you might be in danger if you stay here. "
Biansi was slightly unwilling to let go of Zero, but she knew that staying here would only give Zero more trouble, so she said: "Then I'll leave it to you."
After finishing her sentence, a soldier escorted her away. Not long after Biansi left, roars came from below. Following the shaking of the building, Wu Zhangkong looked down into the plaza and saw the monster crawling back in his direction with all the strength he could muster.
"Attention all, cover with firepower to protect Miss!" Zero roared, commanding the other soldiers to find cover and build a fire net. As the monster crawled into range of the machine gun, Zero raised its hand and swiped down, "Fire!"
Immediately, intense gunshots rang out. The remaining six hundred soldiers formed a three-dimensional fire net based on the unique environment of the city. The storm of bullets that was created by the machine gun came from all directions. There was almost no place for the monsters to hide. The monster was shot until blood splattered everywhere and meat was splattered in all directions. It was suppressed by the powerful firepower to the point that it was unable to advance an inch. It also had the tendency to be forced back into the abyss.
A few soldiers fired a rocket launcher at the monster. Immediately, there was a sharp explosion. Several artillery shells dragged along the flames as they slammed into the monster's body, exploding orange-yellow flames that shook the structure of the underground city, causing it to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.
Zero kept a close eye on the monster and adjusted the angle of attack of the firepower net on the radio. He wrinkled his brows, feeling a faint sense of worry in his heart. Although the fire from the firing position was fierce, it was unable to completely kill the monster. The hole that had been blasted open by the Lone Death Strike was now almost completely healed. This monster's regenerative ability was shockingly strong. It was no wonder it was able to withstand the powerful firepower wounds and not retreat.
The fireballs that were hit by the rocket launchers suddenly shrank in size. The speed at which it was shrinking did not seem like it was dissipating, but rather like it was being absorbed by a monster. The flames flashed twice and then completely disappeared from the monster's body. However, where the flame was burning, a few flame patterns flashed across the surface of the monster's body. It even shot out a few small flames.
Golden light flickered in his right eye, and a tiny golden flame shot out from the depths of his pupils. Huge amounts of data flashed through Zero's mind, and a 3D model of the monster was created. The memory from before zero extraction was compared with the 3D model now. After being bombarded by the rocket launcher, the monster's size had clearly increased by 10%.
Could it be …
Su Yun thought of one possibility, and at this moment, Berrien raised his hands up high. Lightning flashed in his hand as he suddenly waved his hands. The two balls of lightning were linked by several bolts of lightning as they rotated and flew towards the monster. As soon as the Thunder Light Ball touched the monster, its energy exploded and it immediately became like two suns rising from the abyss.
Light that could not be seen illuminated the entire abyss. A series of sizzling sounds rang as the high voltage current fled, and the berserk lightning could set off a chaotic energy storm, destroying the substance within the storm. The sound of a beast's roar came from the storm. When the lightning was so bright that it couldn't be more intense, the lightning quickly dimmed down, just like the flames from the earlier artillery shells.
In less than a second, the abyss once again became silent. The electric snake on the monster's body flickered, and its skin glowed with a blue light as it absorbed all of Berrien's electric liquid. And in the zero calculation, the monster's volume increased by 7%.
Gunshots rang out again, the lines of fire crisscrossing each other. Under the pressure of the barrage, the monster had to move between the buildings to avoid the ubiquitous lines of fire. Looking at Su's body that was covered in a scarlet red energy light, and when she started to condense mech s on the surface, Zero stopped her. "Su, don't use any techniques to release energy outside?"
Su looked at Zero suspiciously and said in a deep voice, "That guy, if I'm not wrong, there must be a big meal of energy in the recipe. And through devouring energy, its evolution speed was extremely fast. The most obvious is the increase in size! "
Chapter 411 - Naga (II)
Zero's conjecture was very close to the truth, but the monster's true ability was not limited to just this. This monster was actually a biological weapon developed by the Bidis City using biological science and technology. After the Bidis City accumulated wealth for twenty years, with Morson, the leader of the Enlightenment, as the host, a large amount of resources were invested into the development of the biological weapon "Naga".
But even Morson did not know where the initial information provided by Messritt had come from. If the data were preserved and available to humans, it would be clear that many of the genes involved were previously unknown, and many of them were not of the existing species.
Naturally, out of trust for the Sacrificial length, Morson did not question the source of the information. But in the development that followed, Naga's genes were found to be lacking and flawed. The biological weapon that was created by fusing with the genes of many different species had, in theory, a considerable amount of battle power. However, there was a phenomenon of mutual phagocytosis or rejection among the genes. For this reason, the plan was delayed for several years.
Until Morson found out that the human genes could actually neutralize this phenomenon, and act as a bridge between the human genes and the other genes, thus allowing the Bidis City to capture refugees from the wilderness and extract their genes. It was just that the genes of ordinary people were very fragile, and only ten-percent of them were effective. Therefore, Naga's plan to make up for it progressed slowly.
It was impossible to determine where the biological weapon's original information came from, but its potential could be predict
ed. When Naga completed his plan and was able to move on his own, it could absorb the external energy to eat and become the capital to evolve.
From Naga's initial stage, if one were to hear the Dark Crown's evaluation, Naga could completely be ranked as a high level biological weapon, and was at the same level as Jodtenheim's Angry Consul. However, Naga had a growth rate that far exceeded that of the Consul, and it could evolve by absorbing energy.
Theoretically, if the energy was sufficient, Naga could go from high rank weapon to Star Traveller level weapon. Of course, the Star Traveller level weapon was its limit. But a biological weapon that could evolve itself was enough to make life tremble.
Even if it was the Dark Crown that was bestowed by Prometheus to the True King, the biological weapon that was created by it had already determined that their rank would not increase from here onwards. This was the decisive difference from Naga.
And Naga's terror did not stop there.
The machine gun was still roaring as countless bullets fell to the ground. The sound was like a heavy rain. The line of fire followed the gigantic shadow as it shuttled back and forth in the city. Naga would occasionally climb behind the buildings, and occasionally crawl under the bridges, using the terrain of the Bidis City to avoid the attacks of the soldiers. Although it could absorb energy for its own use, it could not counteract a physical blow. For example, the bullets and fragment grenade s were still a threat to it, and the rocket launcher's live damage would cause it to be injured. It was only because of this that the flames that exploded later on could be absorbed by Naga. As a result, Naga avoided the pursuit of the fire line. It was no longer like how it was before, running up from the front while facing the fire head-on. Instead, it used a roundabout way to continuously close the distance between it and the human shooting grounds.
When the two of them were only fifty metres apart, Naga made his move.
The monster's dozens of eyeballs suddenly looked in different directions, and in each eye, it caught the silhouette of a soldier. Suddenly, there was a flash of electric light. Following that, a high-voltage electrical current was released and struck the soldiers who were locked on. While the air was still hot from the electric pulses, dozens of soldiers either fell to the ground or died from the screams.
With the first strike, Naga continued to move. From the bottom of an overpass, it coiled up like a snake, then flew twenty meters into the air towards an experimental square building.
The roof of the building was pressured by Naga until it creaked open with a "pa pa" sound. Naga then used even more force to push it down, and his huge body immediately shattered the roof and disappeared into the building, causing all the fire threads that were chasing him to miss. In the next moment, a stream of light blue fire spurted out from the building and swept towards the various masks where the soldiers were hidden. The temperature of the blue flame was extremely high. It cut across the building like a sharp knife slicing through butter. The solid stone wall was unable to obstruct it at all. As the flames flowed in and out of the wall, it caused a series of explosions. Balls of fireballs bloomed all over the city, illuminating the city as bright as day.
"You can't use energy attacks, so you should be able to use physical means." In this area, I happen to be good at it. " Su swung the heavy sword, leaned her body forward, and dragged her weapon as she ran in a straight line. Arriving at the edge of the plaza, she leaped high into the air, bringing along a clear streak of greyish smoke, and bounced back and forth between the few buildings. Finally, she crashed into the roof of the building that Naga was on.
The next moment, the roar of the monster could be heard. The eastern wall began to crack and then burst apart. A small mountain of shadow flew out from within in an unnatural manner. He then rushed out of the platform and fell into the abyss below. From the depths of the abyss, the sounds of monsters could be heard. On the other side, Su raised his sword and walked out from the broken wall. The entire laboratory collapsed with a loud crash!
"It really is the style of a violent woman." Berrien shook his head: "Brutal and berserk, without a hint of the beauty of battle."
With that said, Su turned and glared at Berrien, her eyes sharp and allowing Berrien to swallow the remaining words in her mouth.
After a short period of silence, the sound of Naga crawling could be heard once again. In the darkness, a gray shadow could be vaguely seen. The soldiers in the cover were loyal to their duties, and the gunshots rang out again. This time, what came was not the sound of a bullet hitting flesh, but the sound of metal hitting metal. Ding ding ding dang dang dang.
Looking down from above, the darkness was sputtering with sparks. Frowning, Zero activated his free range of vision. The pupil of his right eye expanded, and the distant scene was instantly zoomed in on it. Naga's abnormal body instantly appeared in front of Su Yun's eyes. Su Yun only saw that the veins on Naga's skin had become extremely dense and had a kind of metallic luster. When the bullet hit it, the tip of the warhead immediately deformed before being bounced off.
"A ceasefire!" Zero shouted, and his orders were quickly answered. A moment later, all the machine guns went off. "Brown, lead all the soldiers away from this place first."
"What?" Chief, did I hear wrongly? " Brown's voice was filled with questions.
Su Li said in a low voice, "You did not hear wrong. That guy even has the ability to defend against attacks. If we continue fighting, God knows what will happen to him. "
"Alright then, I'll listen to you, boss!"
Following that, Brown gave the order to leave through the radio. At this time, without the suppression from the firepower, Naga quickly climbed towards the top of the Earth City. Su Yun quietly lifted her sniper rifle and shot a shot downwards. She did not adjust the angle specifically, but the shot was still accurately aimed at Naga's head.
With a dang sound, the sniper rifle hit right on Naga's head. The metal skin on the sniper rifle's surface first sunk down, then cracked under the pressure of the sniper rifle's kinetic energy. In the end, the sniper rifle shot into Naga's head without a hitch, but was stuck in its extremely complicated skeleton structure underneath its skin. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))
A faint wrinkle appeared on Naga's body, but through the strange vibrations in his body, the impact of the sniper rifle was dissolved, causing his crawling speed to decrease in the slightest.
"So it's like that." Zero told the other espers, "This guy's evolution has a limit. Otherwise, the evolved skin would not only be able to block the bullets from the normal rifles, but would also be able to deflect the bullets from the rapid fire heavy gun s. Therefore, everyone tried their best to avoid attacks that were of an energy attribute. Now, it's our turn to go on stage! "
Behind him, Berrien shook his head: "Looks like I'm not in the mood for a performance, just put in some effort."
"Take good care of yourself, don't be food for others." He turned, leaned back, and leapt into the darkness of the abyss.
Berrien groaned. In terms of damage, although he had not levelled up, he was not any weaker than the wandering Zero. Moreover, when dealing with the gigantic monsters and buildings, his destructive power was far greater than zero. Unfortunately, Naga's special ability of absorbing energy to evolve had rendered him useless.
In an instant, the sounds of gunfire could be heard from below. It was the zero who had pulled the curtain on the battle.
Zero pushed the power of the Shadow Jump to its limits and his figure continued to pierce through the shadows near Naga. There wasn't anything else in the city, but the area of shadows was far larger than the ground. This was practically a zero. A mini computer appeared in Zero's hand. As it continued to jump, the firepower of the two mini submachine guns seemed to cover Naga's entire body.
As the line of fire and fire danced together, dozens of eyeballs on top of Naga's head continuously swiveled, yet they could not catch a hint of his figure at all. With just one person, he was ab
le to project the grandeur of an army!
Under the dense barrage of bullets, Zero quickly discovered that other than two limited parts, Naga basically did not need to defend. The two parts were the head and the chest respectively. It seemed that the metallized skin was unable to cover the two parts of the body, and became the only weakness of Naga under the effect of [Subtle Charge].
"Su, Yoru, attack its chest and head." Zero immediately radioed the identified weaknesses to the other two pros.
"Understood!"
Su's candid voice sounded out, followed by the sound of footsteps that were like a torrential downpour.
Naga caught sight of the explosion, and raised his head to look, a few of his eyes reflected the image of Su's figure rushing down from the top of a building. Dragging the heavy sword backwards, Su stomped her feet hard. When the wall broke, the Destroyer had already tilted towards the nearby Sky Bridge. She rushed down the bridge, but when she reached the turning point, he actually jumped into the air.
The place he landed on was a workshop, and just like that, with the help of the jump from the buildings in the underground city, Su bent his body and used his strength to support himself as he jumped straight towards Naga.
The heavy sword drew a red stream of light in the darkness, dragging the resplendent Flame Tail behind it. Su bellowed, and slashed towards Naga's chest!
The muscles and veins on Naga's chest were showing circles of wrinkles, which was the result of the vibrations caused by Su's sword wind. Naga instinctively sensed the terrifying power attached to Su's sword and did not dare to receive it head on. Stepping with her hundred feet at the same time, she actually flung her enormous body, which was like a chariot, towards a nearby overpass that stretched downwards.
Su immediately slashed the air, and without being able to do anything, he rushed out of the buildings, flying quickly down into the air.
