Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Ferocious

Long Ming quickly put away his Explosive God Spear and drew his Striker, firing quick, targeted shots.

BANG! BANG!

The charging Blood Breath Beasts were picked off one by one.

Time continued to pass.

"ROAR~"

After countless Blood Breath Beasts were slain, their corpses piled up along the edge of the disk-shaped platform.

Since the monster tide was primarily attacking from the south, massive piles of corpses formed at the center and on either side of the disk’s southern edge, growing higher and higher!

Qian Luobing noticed at once and issued a sharp command.

"Throw explosive packs down! Blast those piles of corpses apart!"

Although this disk-shaped base was over twenty meters high, it couldn’t hold if the Blood Breath Beast corpses kept piling up like this.

"Yes, ma’am!"

Soldiers tossed down explosive packs one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~

The massive explosions sent swaths of Blood Breath Beast corpses flying, but unfortunately, this was only a temporary fix, not a permanent solution.

As wave after wave of the monster tide crashed against them, the bodies piled up ever higher.

"ROAR!"

Just then, a six-meter-tall Lord Level Blood Breath Beast, Lia, charged toward the left-hand pile like a phantom. It resembled a cheetah, its body covered in red, fleshy tumors, and it brandished sharp claws and fangs.

"It’s a Lord Level monster! Quick, stop it!"

In terror, numerous soldiers spun around, aimed their guns at it, and opened fire.

As swift as a gale, Lia broke through the dense rain of bullets, sprinted up the pile of corpses, and with a powerful leap, landed on top of the disk. It pounced on a soldier and tore his head off.

"Brothers, let’s take this thing down!"

The surrounding soldiers stared at the ferocious Lia and bravely closed in, firing relentlessly.

PSSH~

Lia opened its mouth and sprayed a wide cloud of red mist toward the soldiers closing in.

"AHH!"

The many soldiers enveloped by the red mist let out bloodcurdling screams.

"You’re courting death!"

Just then, a furious roar echoed out.

The ferocious Lia whipped its head around to look.

Rein, wielding a giant axe, ignored the red mist and charged forward valiantly, bringing his axe down in a savage chop.

Lia swung its claw to meet the blow.

The two collided.

A gash was instantly torn into Lia’s claw. Howling in pain, it lunged, jaws snapping at Rein.

Rein sidestepped Lia’s bite, sinking his axe into its body in the same motion.

The two became locked in a fierce struggle.

At that moment, two more monsters emerged from the tide: the seven-meter-tall, Lord Level Kemo, which had the head of a wolf, a humanoid body, and razor-sharp claws; and Tega, a bloated, bear-like Lord Level beast covered in red nodules. Both charged the platform.

"Focus fire!"

Seeing the two Lord Level monsters charge, Qiansha roared the order.

BANG! BANG~

Rockets and a hail of bullets rained down on the two beasts.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~

Kemo and Tega were instantly engulfed in violent explosions.

But a second later, they both emerged from the blasts. Tanking the attack, they clambered over the piles of Blood Breath Beast corpses and leaped directly onto the disk-shaped platform.

Upon seeing this, Qian Hai and Qian Wei immediately led their subordinates to intercept them, pulling out and tossing freeze grenades.

THUMP~

Before Kemo and Tega could react, they were struck by the freeze grenades.

Large portions of their bodies froze solid.

Immediately after, a dense hail of bullets peppered their bodies, shattering the frozen parts along with chunks of flesh.

Kemo and Tega roared in pain and savagely charged the soldiers surrounding them.

Qian Hai and Qian Wei met their charge head-on, quickly bringing the situation under control.

However, the overall situation on the battlefield did not improve.

With the Lord Level Blood Breath Beasts successfully breaking through to the platform.

One by one, Commander and Elite Level Blood Breath Beasts began braving the gunfire to charge the corpse piles.

They clambered over the bodies of their fallen comrades and leaped toward the disk-shaped base.

Although most slammed into the walls and fell back down, a fair number of Commander Level Blood Breath Beasts still made the jump.

One of them, a Commander Level Blood Breath Dog, leaped toward the area Long Ming was defending.

"Not good!"

Jing Chuan’s expression changed instantly.

Just then, Long Ming’s eyes went cold. He dashed forward like a gale, leaped into the air, and swung his Dark Blade in a wide arc.

KRACK!

Before the Blood Breath Dog could even land, it was struck by Long Ming’s blade in mid-air.

"YELP~"

With a cry of pain, the Commander Level Blood Breath Dog fell straight back down.

Long Ming then landed lightly on his feet.

...

「Meanwhile, at the main entrance of Famons Base.」

Countless Blood Breath Beasts frantically slammed against the repaired blast door.

BOOM~

The sound of immense impacts rang out continuously. The entire metal door was battered and dented, but it refused to give way.

Inside the entrance tunnel.

Shen Hu was shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Quick! Move everything you can and pile it up! I want that entire entrance sealed shut!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soldier after soldier desperately pushed construction equipment and steel beams, piling them high.

In fact, they had already piled up a considerable barricade before the battle began, hoping to prevent the door from being breached.

But they never expected the Blood Breath Beasts’ assault to be this ferocious.

So, Shen Hu made the ruthless decision to seal the entrance completely.

...

「Mountain City Mountain’s Outer Defense Line」

The command area.

Qian Wu held a pair of optical binoculars, gazing at the distant horizon.

Countless Blood Breath Beasts were surging forward like a tide.

The hearts of all the soldiers were in their throats.

Lin Qi spoke nervously to Qian Wu.

"Sir, the monster tide is here, and it’s incredibly fierce!"

"This just means they’re getting desperate. Order the artillery positions to open fire!"

Qian Wu gave the command without a hint of hesitation.

BOOM! BOOM~

Countless rockets and artillery shells rained down on the advancing monster tide.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~

Violent explosions swallowed up scores of Blood Breath Beasts.

Immediately after, countless Blood Breath Beasts charged out from the explosions, continuing their assault on the defense line.

Watching this scene unfold, Qian Wu picked up his wireless communicator and rallied all combat personnel with a grim, determined voice.

"Everyone, the final hour is upon us! For the families we left behind, for human civilization itself—Kill!"

"Kill!"

Roar after roar echoed in response.

Numerous soldiers and independent fighters opened fire on the encroaching monster tide.

...

「Inside Katan Peak’s Secret Armory」

Numerous soldiers stood with guns in hand, their expressions tense, ready for battle.

Qian Yun looked at Qian Xing and asked.

"Aren’t we making our move yet?"

Qian Xing glanced at the intelligence feed from the forums, then said to Qian Yun in a low voice.

"Hold on a little longer. We need to make sure the diverted monsters are far enough away. This time, we have to take that thing down in one fell swoop. There’s no turning back!"

"Understood!"

Qian Yun took a deep breath, steeling himself for death in battle.

...

「Famons Base」

Qiansha watched as countless Blood Breath Beasts swarmed madly toward the corpse piles, and he roared at his subordinates.

"Quick! Blow up those corpse piles!"

Soldiers bravely shouldered explosive charges, rushed to the edge, and tossed them down.

BOOM~

The piled-up corpses were partially scattered by the blast.

Just as they were preparing to drop more explosives...
