C3 The Battlefield

It was getting colder late at night, and the wind was blowing, as if it were going to sink into his bones.

At this time, Yang Sha's eyes were like a candle as she stared at the shadowy figures outside the shop, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Wang Longjiang, who had just been woken up not long ago, Sweat covered his forehead as he shook the sleeping Gao Zhan and said in a low voice, "Kid, wake up."

"Jiang..."

"Don't talk, bug tide, it's dangerous."

Before Gao Zhan could finish his sentence, Wang Longjiang immediately explained the situation to Gao Zhan. Wang Longjiang immediately stopped moving, not daring to make any noise.

As time passed, the gray torrent in the darkness became stronger and stronger. It was like a surging river, making squeaking sounds.

It was only now that Gao Zhan finally managed to focus from the continuous and tearing headache. He turned his eyes to the dark silhouette.

How could this be considered a "bug"?

His body was as big as a dog. Several limbs that were covered in fur were extended from his abdomen. They dug deep holes in the ground. Three pairs of compound eyes were rotating densely on his head. They seemed to have penetrated through the gray fog and flickered with a dark green light.

They stacked on top of each other, crushing all the obstacles in the way with the huge mouthparts of their heads and the limbs covered in sharp bristles.

Sometimes, they would even kill their own kind, dismember their bodies, sprinkle dark red blood all over their bodies.

This scene lasted for almost half an hour before the gray tide slowly faded, leaving Gao Zhan and the other two's chests rising and falling violently on the ground. It was as if they were expelling the lingering fear in their bodies.

"F * ck, how could there be a bug flood in the city?"

The bug tide was the name for the large-scale migration of the old generation of animals and plants after they encountered a large dose of nuclear radiation.

Based on the level of danger and the scale of the number of mutated creatures, the ranking of the Digital Hunters corresponded to the lower, middle, high, and higher grades.

"Follow them."

Yang Sha's expression was as usual. Her beautiful eyes shone, and curiosity gained the upper hand.

"F * ck, this..."

Before Wang Longjiang could finish speaking, Gao Zhan also gradually recovered his thoughts and said, "Maybe there will be gains?"

Gao Zhan had read the basic information about the bug horde. Most of it happened in the primitive areas where human activity was relatively rare in the old era. Now that it was in the city, it meant that there must be something else behind it. It was a piece of information that had not been discovered by other digital hunters. It was extremely valuable.

Gao Zhan looked at Yang Sha. After getting confirmation from her eyes, Gao Zhan was even more certain of his guess.

As a senior digital hunter, Wang Longjiang naturally understood the reason behind it. Just now, he was thinking that Gao Zhan had just come out of his house and that it would be a little inconvenient. That was why he wanted to retreat.

But now, Gao Zhan and Yang Sha had come to an agreement. He immediately nodded and turned around to sit in the armored car's driver's seat.

"We can't get too close or turn on the lights. All of this will expose our position and cause us to be attacked. Yang Sha, go to the back window and lead the way."

After saying that, they started the armored car and followed the bug tide. It left a ravine and drove on the road that was much flattened.

He did not know if it was because of the nanotechnology suit, but Yang Sha had excellent night vision. Even without any light source, she could clearly distinguish the obstacles on the road. From time to time, she would give out warnings to avoid a "car accident.

Among them, there was also Wang Longjiang who trusted Yang Sha very much. He did not hesitate to complete Yang Sha's every order.

Gao Zhan, who saw this scene, could not help but feel admiration in his heart.

The road was bumpy. After flying for more than ten minutes, Wang Longjiang gradually slowed down the speed of the car.

Less than five hundred meters ahead, several mutant creatures the size of wheels were following the end of the bug horde.

"That's the direction to enter the city! Area C!"

Gao Zhan had a good sense of direction and had a good memory. He quickly compared the projection in the temporary camp tent with the building next to him and found the destination of the bug horde.

"Left, two meters. Go back." Yang Sha said.

Wang Longjiang twisted the square plate slightly and avoided the collapsed road in front of him. He continued to follow the bug tide.

"Why did you enter the city? There are very few creatures in the city. There is no way we can have enough food..."

Just when Gao Zhan was confused, Yang Sha interrupted him from thinking.

"High-level energy source or creature."

So that was the case.

After Yang Sha's reminder, Gao Zhan came to a realization.

"Nuclear level" not only wiped out all the creatures on the horizon, but also gave birth to many elements in the thermal nuclear effect that humans could not create in the old era.

After the modification and fusion of the same abnormally violent atmosphere, these elements gathered on the ground. They were either devoured by creatures and evolved. They gathered at a certain place and evolved into strange substances.

Whether it was creatures or substances, they were the rarest resources in the association!

And scarcity represented an extremely high value!

Gao Zhan's black eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed.

No matter how high the value was, with his own ability, he would at most just drink a mouthful of soup.

Eat meat? Be careful!

As they went deeper into the city, the obstacles on the streets became denser. Yang Sha and Wang Longjiang no longer had the time to be distracted.

At this time, through the rearview mirror, Gao Zhan suddenly saw a few armored vehicles appear at the intersection that they had just passed. They gathered into a convoy and followed behind the vehicle.

Just as Gao Zhan was about to report the situation to the two people in the vehicle, a noisy sound of electricity suddenly rang out from the communication device on the armored vehicle. After a few flashes, it became a language that could be understood.

"In front of the car, in a few areas! Ｏｖｅｒ！” It was as if he was questioning them, carrying a thick threat.

The three of them looked at each other. Gao Zhan understood their intention and answered, "A2."

"This is Wu Yu, the person in charge of the temporary camp. From now on, I will direct the area. Ｏｖｅｒ！”

"Understood, Ofer!"

Wang Longjiang and Yang Sha heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Digital hunters were good and bad. They killed people. There were times when people surpassed their value.

"Slow down, get behind me, maintain the distance and wait for reinforcements. Ｏｖｅｒ！”

"Understood, Ofer!"

The armored car behind them quickly and covertly flashed its lights twice, then gradually accelerated. It passed Gao Zhan and the other two who deliberately slowed down the car and became the leader of the convoy.

Wang Longjiang and Yang Sha, who were no longer tensed up, let out a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, the insect tide gradually slowed down until it stopped in place.

"Hum -"

With a deafening sound that pierced through one's eardrums, a dark red pillar of light suddenly exploded from the center of the insect tide. It rushed into the clouds, setting off a huge shockwave that caused the rain to suddenly stop. After that, it pattered on the power suit.

At this time, the Insect Tide and the convoy were also confused by the violent rolling. They suddenly encountered each other in the collapsing buildings of the city!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out!

"Danger!"

Before Gao Zhan could recover from his dizziness, Wang Longjiang's shout suddenly rang in his ears.

In front of him were sharp limbs covered in hair that pierced through the carriage, attacking him!

Bang!

The fiery red light spots sprayed the flame residue on Gao Zhan's face. With a loud bang, they smashed into the thick steel plate of the armored vehicle, creating a huge hole. At the same time, the sharp limbs were crushed, and the mutated creature was pushed a few meters away.

After that, Wang Longjiang's wrinkled face enlarged in his line of sight. His lips opened and closed, but there was no sound.

Then, the rifle that belonged to him was stuffed into his arms just like that.

Almost subconsciously, he quickly pushed aside the safety, pulled the trigger, and laid on the ground. After the pitch-black mutant creature emptied the entire magazine.

Gao Zhan, who had been hit twice in a row, had no idea when Wang Longjiang got out of the car, or when he broke the door of the passenger seat, and pulled himself out of the overturned armored vehicle.

He could only feel that he was on the battlefield. Fire was exploding everywhere, and the world in his ears was gradually returning.

"All teams, gather at me and form a defensive line!"

The situation was critical, and Wu Yu directly leaped over the restriction of authority. He activated the internal communication system of the power suit and established a temporary command communication.

Wang Longjiang leaned against Gao Zhan's back, panting heavily. He asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Except for the ringing in his ears that was suspected to be caused by a concussion, Gao Zhan did not find any wounds after a quick check, except for a few bumps on the power suit.

"Change the bullets and follow Yang Sha. Let's go!"

The last word. At the same time, it was for Yang Sha who was standing at the bottom of the car.

As soon as she finished speaking, the large caliber handgun in Yang Sha's hand rang out and hit the place where the gunshots were the densest, creating a temporary passageway!

Wang Longjiang did not hesitate. He raised the rifle in his hand and started to clean up the mutated creatures that tried to block the three of them again. He pushed Gao Zhan forward with his back.

Due to his nervousness, Gao Zhan spent three times the amount of training time before he changed the magazine and loaded it. He fired three shots that he was not very familiar with, replenishing Yang Sha and Wang Longjiang's firepower.

At the same time, his footsteps also sped up a little.

The sudden encounter had caused both sides to suffer great losses. For a moment, the communication channel was drowned out by wails, cries for help, and explosions.

However, most of them died without a sound.

War was cruel.

Gao Zhan's stomach was churning violently as he looked at the corpses that covered the road and the colorful internal organs that dyed the gray ground.

"Ji!

The sharp sound of insects had entered his brain without any warning! "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

In the intense pain, Gao Zhan subconsciously pulled the trigger. The raised muzzle almost accidentally hurt Yang Sha!

"Zi... Be careful... Insect Emperor!"

The communication device was also disturbed, causing Wu Yu's voice to become intermittent.

Suddenly, Gao Zhan saw Yang Sha's body sway in front of him. Her sharp limbs passed through the fire net and stabbed diagonally towards her back.

Without any time to think, Gao Zhan suddenly took a step forward and pounced. At the same time Yang Sha fell to the ground, the mutant creature's sneak attack missed.

Seeing this, Wang Longjiang immediately pulled out his gun with his right hand and shot the fish that escaped the net.

However, the sound of gunfire was gradually weakening.

This was not a good sign!

Leaning against the armored vehicle that was on fire, Gao Zhan felt the calling of death.

His throat felt like it was being pressed against by a sharp blade, and he could die at any time.

Rumble!

After taking turns to suffer a few waves of destruction, a tall building collapsed at the waist, and shattered stones flew everywhere, causing the already sparse gunshots to become silent.

Amongst them, many mutated creatures were affected as well, and they were crushed into minced meat and penetrated by the flying crushed rocks.

The flying dust also extinguished the fire on the armored vehicles, causing the surroundings to once again sink into darkness.

However, among the three people present, Yang Sha was the only one who had complete combat strength in the darkness.

The act of turning on the lights was no different from courting death at this moment!

"What should we do?"

Gao Zhan broke the silence first. His voice was trembling and his nasal voice was heavy.

The three of them looked at each other. They were leaning against the slightly hot armored vehicle, but no one answered.

Ji!

The sound of insects made the heart beat faster, causing the blood vessels to tense up. It was like a snake swimming through the entire body.

The dust settled slowly. Gao Zhan poked his head out and saw a pair of huge wings in the gray fog. Under the worship of many mutated creatures, they fluttered up.

"Insect King!"

Between the wings, green eyes that were like green beans turned and looked over from the distant sky.

In an instant, Gao Zhan's body stiffened as if he had been injected with lead water and became numb.

Chirp!

This was the bugle horn issued by the Insect King to charge!

The target was Gao Zhan!

"Run!"

Wang Longjiang roared. He did not care about Gao Zhan, who was still in the same spot, and madly moved his legs.

Yang Sha was expressionless. She pushed the loaded magazine back into the pistol and put it on the hood of the armored car. One shot after another.

However, the bullets were drowned in the flood. There was not a single drop of water.

"Zi, Zi, Zi... Is there anyone? Please answer! Answer me if you hear me! This is the leader of Southern Asia New City, Han Quanbing! "

As the engine roared in the sky, the communication device that had been silent for a long time rang again.

Wang Longjiang stopped in an instant. He pulled out all the grenades at his waist, opened the latch, and threw them at the bug horde. He shouted, "Help!"

Boom!

Suddenly, the orange flames turned into the coordinates of the explosion. After a few breaths, a dense cluster of missiles fell from the sky and created a layer of steam due to the high temperature in the rain.

Gao Zhan and the other two were thrown high in the third explosion. They fell heavily onto the ground. They lost consciousness and spider web-like cracks spread on their hard masks.
