Chapter 70 Escape, Escape, Escape
Screams, howls, the deafening crashes of vehicles, the roar of engines, the incessant howls of beasts, and the ceaseless gunfire all blended together in a cacophony.
The once peaceful border area seemed to have traveled back a century to that old era of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
Inside the carriage, Ji Chenyu and Cao Yingchong, who had just witnessed the horrific scene, remained silent for two seconds before simultaneously requesting to join the battle and stating their respective ability sequences and levels.
"no"
The only Blue Shield team member in the car, who was also the driver, ruthlessly rejected the offer.
When a car is traveling at high speed, opening the door can significantly affect the speed and even lead to loss of control.
Moreover, even if the two of them joined the battle, it would be of no use.
Cao Yingchong is slightly better, but Ji Chenyu's speed is far from enough. In the end, it will only be like throwing meat buns to a dog—gone and never to return.
Meanwhile, Chit, who was already perched on the roof of the vehicle, used his visual and auditory perception abilities to guide Uncle D3. In this bloody battlefield, although he had no practical combat use, he could be considered a decent support.
The students had all read the novels and watched the movies, and they used to think that the heroic warriors in the words and pictures were just exaggerated artistic creations, but now they realized that they were not exaggerated at all.
The real battlefield is far more brutal and bloody than depicted in movies and TV dramas.
Humanity will never lack the spirit of warriors.
Just like Xu Su, the T0-level captain of Blue Shield at this moment.
The convoy was initially being driven forward by countless strange creatures. When the captain ordered a turnaround, everyone thought he had gone mad.
Even the members of the Blue Shield team found it hard to believe that their captain would make such a decision.
However, one of the most important aspects of professional training is absolute obedience.
They are not soldiers, but they are disciplined and no less so than the federal military.
Xu Su did not make his team members' unconditional obedience meaningless; he did not let anyone down.
Alone, he fought his way through the surging beast tide.
Four pickup trucks, like lone boats sailing against the current, rushed towards their only hope of escape in the blood-red ocean.
....................
"There's no hope. I can't leave."
"Being able to see the Tree of Life with my own eyes, and knowing that humanity still has a glimmer of hope, makes me... very gratified."
Yuan Sheng glanced at the two enormous black dragon salamander heads lying beside him and laughed disdainfully, "The Beast King is nothing special."
Having said that, the young officer, whose arm had been severed at the waist, resolutely raised his remaining right arm and slapped it down.
The icicles grew rapidly like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, piercing and freezing the countless strange creatures that rushed forward.
For miles around, the entire world was frozen solid, resembling an ice sculpture, and within those crystal-clear ice crystals lay countless beast corpses.
And, that young officer.
A rising star in the Long County military, a genius who had discovered new cosmic matter at a space station, perished without a trace.
Before this, two other geniuses, Hu Zizai and Kyogoku Hiko, had already perished in the bellies of beasts.
AA, whose arm had been bitten off, raised his only remaining hand and saluted in the direction of the white light.
The message the other party sent her via communicator was to prevent her from being vaporized during the rescue.
AA hoisted the blue-haired girl, bleeding profusely and unconscious, and crouched down, the machine making a slight turning sound. As the horde charged again, he leaped dozens of meters and landed on a charred boulder.
The AA is connected to satellites that can monitor the area where this border is located. In the real-time footage, several "Savior" helicopters are flying towards this mountain range.
Just as the intelligent android AA was climbing the rocky mountainside in a contorted posture, a gray off-road vehicle covered in claw marks roared out of the sea of fire.
Old B, who had just replenished some energy, was completely drained by building a path that climbed more than three meters up from the bottom of the cliff. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The rear window had long since shattered into pieces under the onslaught of the beasts. Wei Zai and Uncle Gun simply used their gun barrels to pry open the remaining shards of glass and began firing wildly at the relentlessly pursuing horde.
"Damn it, they've driven back again!" Tony cursed angrily.
But the driver floored the accelerator, and the SUV shot off like an arrow, successfully plunging into the canyon just as the two yaks were about to crash into the rear of the vehicle.
The oxen weren't very fast; these two were only able to start charging around because they were jostled by the herd halfway through the journey.
Because they were more than twice the size of a rhinoceros, and the canyon floor was less than 6 meters wide, the two giants squeezed at the canyon entrance, blocking a large herd of animals.
Uncle Gun quickly glanced at the sky, but didn't see the golden dragon salamander. He then took out his phone again.
While fleeing for his life, he launched two MINI drones into the sky. One of them was destroyed by the Raptor, and the other was following closely behind the off-road vehicle.
At this moment, the golden dragon slapped the ox away with one paw, then flapped its wings twice, seemingly failing to take off.
Seeing the golden dragon pacing anxiously at the valley entrance, roaring, Uncle Gun's eyes lit up and he said, "That thing seems unable to fly anymore, quick, charge, charge!"
The young man driving was pressing the accelerator so hard it was practically smoking.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Wei Zai was shocked. The young driver also saw several large pickup trucks parked haphazardly at the bottom of the valley not far ahead, completely blocking the road.
"Damn it!"
Tony cursed angrily, and the young man hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but it was too late; the SUV still crashed head-on into the pickup truck.
....................
Above Whistle Valley, on the mountainside.
"Uncle D, 5 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 11 o'clock."
Zite shouted, and his dwarf uncle quickly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger in three directions.
The shotgun and submachine gun ammo are all used up, now only the pistol is usable.
Its power has been greatly reduced. Let alone creatures like the black dragon salamander and the quinoa, which are thick-skinned and harder to penetrate than tanks, it would be difficult to even fight a gnawing hyena.
Fortunately, the big guys couldn't get up halfway up the mountain.
Bird-like anomalous creatures generally have low defense; apart from the gorilla vulture, which requires a headshot, most can be killed with a single shot.
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen.
A dozen or so vultures, like missiles, swooped down from all directions toward their prey on the cliff face.
Inside the vehicle, the pickup truck, traveling at high speed, was still able to maintain a certain distance. Meanwhile, everyone else was struggling to climb, like meat on a chopping board.
Furthermore, there were too many of them, and Qi Te simply didn't have time to report their locations.
Uncle D3 reacted quickly, leaping onto the rock where Zit was standing and shielding him beneath him.
A gorilla was preparing for a delicious meal when its sharp beak struck a metal plate with a crisp clang.
Its beak is broken.
Ah, ah
The vulture, exasperated and in agony, let out a cry like a crow.
D3 raised his hand and fired a shot, taking him down.
Qi Te quickly focused his gaze on the uncle's back.
The coat had a hole in it, but the person was perfectly fine.
Its defense level is so high that it is visible to the naked eye.
There were 21 Blue Shield field team members when they left the city. Three stayed in the old city, leaving 18 people. Now, only 8 people are still alive.
The team members were all injured, but they still did their best to protect the students, using their limited firepower to deal with the strange bird-like creatures that attacked from the high school.
Captain Xu Su, like a wolf king, was responsible for bringing up the rear, standing at the bottom of the team and clearing out the ferocious beasts with super jumping ability and extremely fast speed.
The collection team, which originally consisted of 19 people including Liu Bochuan, now has only 12 members. Seven students perished.
Old Liu has been out of town gathering materials for twenty years and has encountered many attacks by strange creatures, but even he is terrified of such a dangerous situation. His superhuman regeneration and near-immortality are true, but if he were to be divided and eaten, he wouldn't survive.
Most importantly, he was the one who trained them.
Although everyone had signed an agreement and Oasis Company had purchased high-value insurance for all travelers, Liu Baichuan's heart was bleeding when he saw these young people, whose lives had just begun, perish.
"Watch out!"
Liu Baichuan exclaimed in surprise and quickly raised his hand to shield Ding Xiang from behind.
A vulture that had dodged the bullet had its sharp, hard beak, as hard as iron, deeply embedded in Liu Baichuan's left arm.
The raptor, with a wingspan of over a meter and a considerable size, flapped its wings wildly, its feathers as sharp as knives, easily tearing through Liu Baichuan's coat.
This creature hunts by piercing its prey's body with its long, slender beak. If the prey is small, it throws it forcefully against a rock, crushing it to death. If the prey is larger than its own weight, it uses gravity to toss it through the air, killing it on impact before feasting on it.
Liu Baichuan clung tightly to Ding Xiang's back, his arms, neck, and head ripped open by feathers, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. The vulture flapped its wings with all its might, trying to pull its prey into the air.
"Uncle Liu! Help! Help me!!"
Ding Xiang screamed in panic and helplessness, and the students who were also attacked by the vultures screamed as well.
'Bang, bang, bang'
Gunshots rang out continuously, but because the raptors and students were too close, the Blue Shield team members were afraid of accidentally hitting them, so most of their bullets missed.
Captain Xu Su was entangled by the Three-Eyed Devil Sheep, the Tiger Leopard Beast, and a group of cunning rabbits whose size was comparable to medium-sized hunting dogs, and for the time being, he was unable to provide assistance.
More and more vultures, drawn by the smell of blood, flew toward the rock face.
Looking up at the dark mass of birds of prey overhead, like a storm cloud, Qi Te frowned deeply and looked down at the collection box tied to his waist with a rope...
