Chapter 915 We Fight Together, And We Die Together!

As the civilians shouted loudly and rushed into the battlefield, things became a lot more chaotic.

Gunfire sounded everywhere. Insects were getting cut down left and right. For a moment, there seemed to be more people on the battlefield when compared to the insects.

However, it was only for that moment.

How could a handful of civilians make a difference in this nightmare?

They only managed to take down a dozen or so insects here and there before starting to crumble and fall down.

In just a couple of minutes, many people were badly injured, and several lost their hands and feet. Some casualties also started to pile up.

And the insects did not stop there. As usual, they minced the dead bodies into meat paste and absorbed something from them.

Watching their loved ones getting skewered like this into a meat pile and toyed around by these insects dealt a severe blow to morale. It was an unbearable sight to watch.

The fact that a similar future awaited them also did not help with the situation. Everyone's face turned deathly pale, and their actions faltered. The determination and courage they displayed at the beginning were no longer to be seen.

When these insects could strike fear in the hearts of hardened fighters, how could these civilians stand any chance against them?

The main force of the Crimson Abyss guild also saw this, and it pained their heart and soul. Right in front of them, their loved ones were willingly throwing themselves at death for them, and yet there was nothing they could do.

They couldn't save them, and they couldn't even use this opportunity to give a blow to the insects. It was useless. Whatever they did was completely useless.

It was as if the moment they clashed with this swarm head-on, they had already lost this battle. No one had any hope left anymore.

"We fight together, and we die together!" Alex shouted at the top of her lungs as tears streamed from her eyes. She also wanted to give up, but as the leader here, she could not afford to do something like that.

"We fight together, and we die together!"

"We fight together, and we die together!"

"We fight together, and we die together!"

She kept shouting again and again like a maniac.

She was also badly scratched in several places, and several parts of her body were blue and purple because of the venomous attacks.

It did not matter. If this was really their end, her last fight, then she was not going to fall just yet.

However, the next second, four insects surrounded her and blitz-attacked her with the sole purpose of making her drop her shield.

Rey tried to cover her, but he couldn't even come close and failed. Several others near Alex as well could not step forward to help. Something was weird.

Though the insects were only attacking randomly up until now, this time, they seemed to be cornering Alex on purpose.

They cut off all her allies from all sides and completely isolated her. It was almost as if they knew who was the most dangerous threat at this moment. This was not a blind attack.<.com>

"So they are also capable of critical thinking, huh?" Alex bitterly smiled as her final defense crumbled, and her shield dropped to the ground.

Her stamina was close to zero, and her body was riddled with injuries. She simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Rey's heart clenched. He knew he had to go to her no matter what. He rushed toward her by emptying out the mana he had and pushing himself beyond what he was capable of.

Mana arrows scattered everywhere as he made his way through. However, he could only last for a few seconds. The insects zoomed toward him more and more, completely freezing him in place.

It seemed as if they had made a collective decision to take care of Alex first, and they were targeting her more than others, using all of their strength.

They did not even let her take a second break as one after the other bombarded her with attacks.

"Bring it on!" Alex shouted and held on. If they wanted her, then they needed to do more!

Alex was not ready to go down, but she was already well past her limit. No matter what she did, it was clear to her that she could only take it for 2 more seconds, and then…

Tears streamed from her eyes. In the end, she failed again. She really was useless. They were all going to get annihilated, and she could do nothing about it.

She was simply not strong enough. She had tried her best, and yet it was nowhere close to being enough. For the first time, she felt true and utter helplessness.

She had always been in the shadow of that man, and she did not realize how lucky she had been until today.

Alex shivered. Thinking about Liam reminded her of the inevitable. When he comes back and sees everything destroyed… his sister… Shen Yue… she couldn't even imagine the look on his face.

And it would all be because she wasn't good enough.

If only he hadn't gone… if only he had been here today… then none of this would have happened.

Alex found herself thinking about that person again and again, and she felt utterly desperate.

In the end, she did not even want him to rescue her from this misery. She just wished that she could see him one more time.

How nice would it be if she could go back to that time when it all started back in the tutorial world… when Mia, she, and Rey had watched the guy all day long perform some weird postures and make a fool out of himself.

If only she could go back to that day, she would do so many things differently.

"Don't think about useless things when you are fighting."
