C19 Fight to the Death

The final blow from the Paragon was aimed directly at the second defense line's defensive gate. The blow had left a large hole in the gate, enough for the tide of corpses to enter the interior of the base.

The tide of corpses listened to the fall of the Paragon's massive body. It also seemed to sense the destruction of the defensive door. The tide of corpses began to rise again. The Paragon had swept away the infected. Now the tide of corpses rose from behind again. The tide of corpses was endless. No one knew how many corpses there were, and when it would end. There was at least half an hour left until the hour Elder Qiu mentioned. Could they really withstand it? Could the hundred and twenty thousand people behind him really retreat in time? No one knew the answer. The joy of killing the ruler in Chen Chen's heart also disappeared without a trace. If he had known earlier that killing the Paragon would cause the protective door to be broken, he definitely wouldn't have killed him.

"Chen Chen." Fatty looked at Chen Chen who was lying on the ground. He was also feeling very unpleasant. Chen Chen had clearly killed the Paragon to solve a huge problem for the base, but why was the atmosphere so oppressive now?

"'Ding... congratulations on killing the Paragon. The Paragon dropped 50,000 EX points. '" SYSTEM popped out the points Chen Chen had dropped from killing the Paragon. 50,000 EX points. From the end of the world until now, Chen Chen had only gotten 100,000 EX points. These 50,000 EX points were the result of half of Chen Chen's work. But no matter what, Chen Chen couldn't feel happy in his heart.

"Alright! Don't be discouraged. Little Chen has solved a big problem for us. Otherwise, even if the defensive door is broken, we won't be able to deal with that monster. " Elder Qiu spoke while everyone was feeling disheartened. "Behind us are more than a hundred thousand of our compatriots. In front of us, there are only some walking corpses. Are we going to give up our compatriots' lives, warriors? Cheer up."

Elder Qiu's words were not without reason. If Chen Chen did not kill the Ruler, then the defensive door would be broken through as well. And no one could take care of the overlord of the truck, not to mention defending to the death. It seemed like exchanging a door for a trouble was indeed a profit. A spark of fire lit up in everyone's hearts again.

"Go back to your posts, pick up your weapons, and defend the door. Buy time for our people." Elder Qiu continued to speak. "Little Chen, go back to the defense line and rest." At the same time, Chen Chen and Fatty, who had experienced a great battle, came back. They had done a good job earlier. Until now, the defense line still had plenty of ammunition. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to hold on for an hour.

Fatty carried Chen Chen back to the defense line. Although Chen Chen heard Elder Qiu's words, he still felt bad in his heart.

"Elder Qiu, I'm sorry. If I wasn't so radical, perhaps the defensive door wouldn't have been broken." Fatty placed Chen Chen beside Elder Qiu. Chen Chen just sat on the ground like that. After a few fierce battles, his body had just recovered, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm fine, Little Chen. If it wasn't for you, perhaps these corpse tides would have already invaded the base. How can we stop that monster? " Elder Qiu comforted Chen Chen with a smile. "That's enough. You two can have a good rest. I don't know if I will need your help later."

Chen Chen looked at the defensive line not far away. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces. Under the suppression of the firepower, the speed of moving forward of the corpse tide was extremely slow. They were at least 50 meters away from the defensive gate. If nothing unexpected happened... It wouldn't be a problem to delay it for an hour. At this moment, Chen Chen felt slightly relieved.

"How is it? How many points do you have?" The fat man saw that Chen Chen's mood had stabilized a little, so he impatiently asked Chen Chen. That monster was the strongest that the fat man had ever seen. He was very curious about the points given.

"Fifty thousand." Chen Chen looked at the information on SYSTEM. At this time, he was also somewhat happy. After all, fifty thousand was the largest amount of people he had after he had his superpower, plus the infected people he had eliminated earlier. The EX points were close to seventy thousand. Sure enough, danger coexisted with opportunity.

"Damn, I killed so many, but it was only 20,000." Fatty muttered from the side.

"Hey, didn't you just want me to share it with you?" Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fatty muttering to himself. In the shopping center of SYSTEM, there was an item that was free. However, it was useless. It only existed as a transfer point. As long as he sold this crystal to the mall, he would be able to obtain the EX point in the crystal.

Item: EX crystal

Quality: Superior

Stats: Can store EX Points into the crystal and give it to other EFs.

Skills: None

Value: 0 (Can be sold in the Merchant Shop)

Chen Chen took out a crystal from the Merchant Shop and typed a string of numbers into it.

"Ding! Do you want to deposit 25,000 EX points?"

"Yes."

"Here you go. There are 25,000 points. That's half of the kill count." Chen Chen took out the crystal from SYSTEM and handed it to Fatty.

"Ah? Hehe, Chen Chen, I won't be polite with you anymore." The fat man chuckled and took the crystal from Chen Chen.

The two of them had gone through life and death together. It was not something that could be described with mere EX points. Chen Chen knew that if it was the fat man, he would give it to him without hesitation. It had been the same since they were young.

"Elder Qiu, the supplies are urgent!" a soldier who was at the defense line suddenly said.

"How many left?" Elder Qiu asked with a serious face.

"Less than ten magazines." "Elder Qiu, me too." "The machine gun supplies still have one drum left."

When the sound of insufficient supplies rang out, the crowd also began to feel anxious.

"Snipe and shoot, try to stall as much as possible." Even if Elder Qiu asked, it would be useless. There were only so many supplies in the entire base. Chengnan City's military training ground was in the suburbs. It was difficult to move an inch now, not to mention replenishment.

The firing speed of everyone slowly decreased. The speed of the corpse tide also became faster. The distance of 50 meters was pulled to 10 meters in a short 10 minutes.

"Little brothers, protect Elder Qiu." A soldier in the defense line suddenly said. He took out a dagger from his waist.

"Little brothers, protect Elder Qiu." In the next moment, dozens of soldiers took out melee weapons from their surroundings.

The ammunition was almost emptied. At this moment, everyone in the defense line took out their close combat weapons, as if they were using their bodies as human walls to block the corpse tide.

"Uncles..." Chen Chen was a little stunned. These soldiers were clearly not as strong as him, but they still stood in front of Chen Chen and Fatty without hesitation.

"Brothers, behind us are tens of thousands of compatriots who have yet to retreat. If we hold on for one more second, one more of our compatriots can retreat."

"Fight to the death, do not take a step back!"

Hearing the heroic words of the soldiers before their deaths, Chen Chen's blood boiled. Right now, he only wanted to charge into the corpse tide and buy more time for everyone. Self-preservation? Only now did Chen Chen realize how childish this method was. There was no one who could survive the end of the world. No matter how self-preservation you were, you still had to fight. It was just that the meaning of battle was different.

The first infected person met with a soldier. The soldier's dagger directly stabbed into the infected person's head, killing him with a stab.

"Bah, go to hell, monster." The soldier spat on the infected person's body.

"Be careful!" Chen Chen suddenly shouted.

Behind the infected person who lost the ability to fight, an infected person suddenly pounced on the soldier.

"Ah!" The soldier cried out in pain. He gritted his teeth and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the infected person who was eating his shoulder.

Chen Chen's heart suddenly became chaotic. He wanted to rush over to block the corpse tide.

"Don't go." Elder Qiu pulled Chen Chen, who was about to rush forward.

"Elder Qiu!" Chen Chen was very surprised. Elder Qiu actually pulled him back. Could it be that Elder Qiu wanted him to protect him?

"Do you think you are protecting me?! They couldn't resist it. They all knew that they were trying to buy some time for you to rest. The door is broken so early. We need to evacuate the last group. That was just a matter of time before we die. You are different. [Every one of you is the hope of humanity's counterattack. We will let you rest.] They want you to have enough power to break out of the encirclement and protect more people." Elder Qiu said earnestly. "If it wasn't for my legs, I would have followed them." Elder Qiu's expression was a little gloomy.

Hearing Elder Qiu's words, Chen Chen resisted the urge to rush in and help. The corpse tide slowly seeped through, although some of the infected people had rushed past the soldiers' wall. But there were only two or three of them. It could be seen that the soldiers were really working very hard. No one took a step back.

"Old Jiang!" A soldier's arm was torn off by a few infected people. A few infected people just grabbed food and raised their arms. The scene was extremely bloody, and that soldier was pulled into the corpse tide by even more infected people.

"Roar!" A roar that Chen Chen was very familiar with came from the back of the corpse tide. That's right, it was the Fighter that injured him. This time, the roar seemed to resonate with each other. There seemed to be more than one of them.

"Boom!" A Fighter that looked like a grizzly bear directly smashed into the hole in the defensive door. The human wall formed by the bodies of the soldiers was shattered just like that. Each and every one of them was like a grizzly bear. They were sent flying and fell to the ground, and there were also infected people who were sent flying beside each of them. These infected people crawled towards the fallen soldiers. Fresh flesh and blood made them roar repeatedly.

"Fatty!" Chen Chen finally could not hold it in anymore. This time, Elder Qiu did not try to persuade him anymore. Chen Chen held the knight's sword and rushed forward. The three tails on Fatty's back also covered Chen Chen. Help him sweep away the infected people around him.

The second defense line was finally broken through. The time they bought was only half an hour away. Most of the people at the base had evacuated, and there might still be less than 10,000 people left. Although Elder Qiu could not bear to see this happen, their sacrifice had finally come to an effect.

Chen Chen knew very well how powerful the Fighter was. Their intelligence was far higher than the ruler's. Back then, he and the young girl had suffered a huge loss from the Fighter. But this time... The enchanted knight's long sword was used against the infected people, the Fighter. A Paragon, this type of mutated monster had an additional 200% damage. This was undoubtedly fatal.

"Roar!" The grizzly bear like Fighter looked at Chen Chen who was rushing towards it. It roared angrily, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it flew towards Chen Chen.

"Buzz." Chen Chen did not choose to block this time. Instead, he waved the knight's sword in his hand.

"Hua." Almost without any resistance, Chen Chen's sword directly cut off the two sharp claws of the Fighter. Chen Chen was not willing to give up just like that. His body followed the swing of the knight's sword. After turning a circle, the sword in his hand slowly changed direction. The horizontal slash changed into an upward slash. The knight's long sword went straight for the Fighter's head, and the Fighter's head was cut in half. Only a headless corpse and a broken claw fell onto the ground.

"Pui!" Chen Chen spat out a mouthful of saliva. He had gotten rid of his great enemy in just a single strike. This was not only the improvement of his combat ability, but also the enchantment of the mutated scavenger. If not for the timely enchantment scroll, perhaps the Paragon would have already swept through the base.

"'Ding... congratulations on killing Fighter. Fighter dropped 30,000EX. '" The message from SYSTEM was that the Fighter had killed the Fighter. In the blink of an eye, the Fighter had filled up all the points given to Fatty. Chen Chen's current points had directly reached 70,000. Sure enough, the battlefield was a place where danger coexisted with opportunity.

"Boom!" Before Chen Chen could react, another Fighter crashed into the hole. Its target was also Chen Chen. Chen Chen wanted to defend in a hurry, but the Fighter's speed was extremely fast. Chen Chen was still knocked back a few steps.

Just as he was about to take a few steps back, another Fighter came out of the hole.

"One, two, three, four... eight." Chen Chen slowly counted. After the Fighter entered the hole, six more came in. Right now, there were a total of eight Fighter in front of him. Eight Fighter that looked like grizzly bears were staring at him covetously. It made his hair stand on end.
