Chapter 410 Decoy

The setting sun stained the abandoned plaza crimson. Vanessa's mechanical greatsword whirred through the air as it sliced ​​through the air. Facing two charging Split-Tailed Men, she lowered her stance, her boots sparking as they scraped against the asphalt. Using the momentum, she leaped three meters into the air, the mechanical blade unfolding its second telescopic structure, transforming into a two-meter-long vibrating light blade. She slashed at the leading Split-Tailed Man with the force of splitting a mountain. The monster, sensing the danger, did not confront it head-on but instead raised its three spiked tails to block. The bio-force field collided with the shockwave, exploding into blue-purple arcs of electricity. The shockwave overturned the surrounding abandoned vehicles.

At the same time, Gaddy's mechanical eye locked onto the large, red, bizarre creature behind him. His explosive gun fired in bursts to force the target back. The monster seemed to move in a frame-by-frame motion, twisting its joints a few times in a strange way to avoid Gaddy's explosive gun. Then, several cars made metallic noises, and the monster instantly crawled up to Gaddy. Red smoke seeped from its huge hands, and it swung them horizontally at Gaddy.

In an instant, Gedi's mechanical joints reacted rapidly, leaning back. Then, the grappling hook at her waist shot out, ensnaring a lamppost. The jet engine activated, propelling her 180-degree swing, allowing her to reload mid-air. Two more powerful explosive rounds blasted away, directly striking the red monster. Upon landing, she gestured with one hand, and two plasma jets shot from the front of a nearby motorcycle, piercing the sternum of another monster attacking her side. The motorcycle frame instantly expanded into an electric net, dragging the monster backward.

The third split-tailed creature lunged at Vanessa, but the girl anticipated her move, leaning back and using her mechanical greatsword as a fulcrum. She used the sword as a pivot to perform a spinning kick, her alloy combat boots slamming into the monster's jaw. Using the recoil, she drew her sword and slashed upwards, the high-frequency vibrations of the blade tearing through the force field and cleaving a huge gash from the shadowy creature's groin to its collarbone. Crimson blood spurted out. As Vanessa landed, a glint of supernatural power flashed in her eyes, and the spurting blood was immediately blocked by an invisible force, then, with a shockwave, it was crushed towards another monster.

Boom boom boom!
A cloud of dust erupted, and a fan-shaped shockwave covering tens of meters appeared, pushing away the two strange entities along with countless abandoned cars and various other debris.

At this moment, while the two were fighting against these strange creatures that appeared during the day, they did not notice that several onlookers had inexplicably appeared on a tall building in the distance of the square.

"It's daytime now, and these bizarre creatures have appeared. They don't look like human-creatures or zombies. Have bizarre creatures evolved to this extent?" Ning Jing said with a serious expression as she looked at the battle situation in the square through an electronic telescope. "Moreover, those bizarre creatures look quite troublesome."

"These two shouldn't be ordinary monsters; they must have at least 5000 Destruction-level strength."

Xiaoqing stood by the building, holding the gun blade, her gaze fixed on the fight in the distance: "The fighting techniques they used have the special fluctuations that the Phoenix Society talks about, which can be mastered after genetic evolution."

"Special fluctuations?" Huo Ge (Lu Xingchen) crossed his arms, his face serious. "Some kind of new ability?"

Xiaoqing glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Ning Jing, who was standing nearby, replied, "After reaching the Destruction-level Spirit Resonance, many genetic evolvers gradually discovered that their bodies could control a special bio-force field resonance. The Nightwalker organization's research suggests that this may be somewhat similar to the bio-force field of the Strange Entity. Mastering this power can greatly enhance the genetic evolver's defensive capabilities, while the destructive power also far exceeds the limits of an individual human being, hence the name Destruction-level."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He hadn't paid any attention to this point before, and then glanced at Ah Bai beside him.
"Aren't there any superhumans?"

Ah Bai looked at him and said, indicating her innocence, "I...I don't know."

"You're already at the angel level, don't you know how much you've changed?" Xiaoqing replied coldly.

"Let's stop discussing this." Ning Jing interrupted, looking at the square: "The information has been synchronized with Team Leader Lin and the other groups. There are not only other survivors on this island, but also strange entities that can appear during the day. We must be careful."

"Uh..." Lu Xingchen cleared his throat and looked at the fight in the distance, saying to Ning Jing, "Should we intervene?"

"They seem to be able to handle it for now. It's getting dark soon, and we don't know if they're friend or foe. Let's not cause any more trouble." Ning Jing said calmly, "Captain Lin is coming soon. Let's not make a move until then."

Lu Xingchen nodded upon hearing this: "Alright."

After saying that, he looked down at the fierce battle below, crossed his arms, and said very solemnly, "Although seeing these evil spirits causing trouble in broad daylight, I, as the Venerable One, should burn them all to ashes in order to fulfill my duty to eliminate demons, Captain Ning's consideration is quite thoughtful. In that case, let's wait a little longer."

Xiaoqing, standing in front, couldn't help but purse her lips upon hearing this.

Just then, Ah Bai, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, looked at the other side of the square, and said, "There are people over there!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them looked up and sure enough, they saw several furtive figures on the roof of a shopping mall in the distance. Ning Jing picked up her electronic binoculars and found that there were three people standing on the roof, all of them wearing black power armor. The power armor seemed to have the same symbol on it. At this moment, one of the three was holding a sniper rifle, another was also observing with binoculars, and the last one was holding some kind of terminal, seemingly operating something.

"Their teammates?" Huo Ge asked immediately upon seeing this scene.

“It shouldn’t be.” Xiaoqing’s gaze was serious, and she frowned as she said, “The gun is already set up, and that person is aiming at… not the strange entity.”

Bang!
As soon as she finished speaking, the sniper on the roof of the mall suddenly fired. At the same time, the black woman who was fighting fiercely in the square below was instantly hit by a huge kinetic energy. She seemed to have sensed something in advance. She flipped in the air, and the armor-piercing bullet exploded on her shoulder, scattering sparks. At the same time, the attack of the red monster arrived and blasted her away. Gaddy was directly smashed into a pile of ruins.

"Gadget!"

Vanessa unleashed a shockwave with her mechanical greatsword, slicing through the bio-field of the split-tailed creature that had been cut in half. The creature crashed into a wrecked car, splattering blood and corroding the car into a smoking half-frame at incredible speed.

Upon seeing her companion being attacked, her first reaction was to raise her sword to block the attack.

when!
The armor-piercing bullet exploded on the sword in front of her face. The girl then leaped into the air, and six small missiles on the motorcycle immediately roared out and flew towards the direction of the sniper rifle. At the same time, a cloud of dust exploded in the ruins, and Gedi quickly rushed out from it, his grappling hook embedded in the mall floor, and then he rushed towards the three people at an extremely fast speed.

"Damn it!"

Bang bang!

The sniper fired two shots but missed. Vanessa's missile immediately exploded in a cloud of fire on the top of the mall. The sniper was knocked over by the shockwave. The other two black-clad power armor warriors immediately launched a counterattack. One drew a high-frequency vibration blade, and the other's arm armor transformed into a rapid-fire machine gun, raining down bullets like a storm.

Gedi's grappling hook was already embedded in the wall. Using the momentum, she leaped into the air and fired three shots from her explosive gun, accurately piercing the machine gunner's power core. Another person rushed towards her with a high-frequency vibration blade, slashing at her face. Gedi's mechanical units moved flexibly in mid-air, flipping 360 degrees backward. After a quick look, she grabbed the person's power armor visor and slammed him to the ground!
"what!"

The man immediately shouted and tried to fight back, but Gedi grabbed his hand holding the high-frequency vibration blade. The powerful mechanical force twisted and broke the hydraulic joints of his Ghost Wolf-class hand, and then pierced through his facial armor with a single blow.

The movements were fluid, crisp, and efficient.

Gaddy remained crouched, looking at the insignia on the power armor of the person in front of him, and immediately spoke to Vanessa, who was still fighting the freak below.

"They are Weyland's men."

“They used a decoy,” Vanessa replied. Gaddafi looked up and saw a mobile terminal on the ground next to the machine gunner, its display panel still flashing. She immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Damn it, these bastards!"

air!
Before she could finish speaking, a metallic twisting sound came from below as a manhole cover was violently ripped off—two crimson, bizarre creatures burst from the ground, their bio-force fields creating a foul stench, corroding the asphalt pavement and leaving charred marks. Vanessa once again activated her shockwave defense, but she was blasted back more than ten meters.

The roars from all sides intensified, and she immediately stood up from the ruins, grabbed her mechanical sword, and looked up at the sky, where the sky had visibly darkened.

"They're doing this on purpose, trying to make us their prey." Gaddy leaped off the platform. "We need to get out of here!"

"We can't escape, these guys are too fast, we have to deal with them first!"

Ugh!

Three red, humanoid monsters converged on Vanessa. Vanessa leaped into the air, her propulsion system activating, allowing her to nimbly break free from their encirclement. A buzzing sound followed as her mechanical greatsword activated overload mode, its blade emitting a blinding blue light. She then hurled it, piercing the head of a nearby split-tailed creature at high speed. The split-tailed creature was immediately pinned to a rubble wall, its six legs digging at the ground, kicking up concrete fragments. Gaddy descended from the sky with a roar, his mechanical fist vibrating electric hammer slamming into the hilt of the mechanical greatsword, cleaving the split-tailed creature's head in two. It quickly fell silent.

She immediately drew her mechanical greatsword and threw it back to Vanessa, while simultaneously throwing out her magnetic grappling hook and charging forward. The moment Vanessa caught the sword, the two completed a tactical repositioning back to back.

At this moment, three red monsters and one split-tailed man remained, surrounding them.

The two women looked extremely solemn. Under normal circumstances, they would have been confident in dealing with these monsters, but now it was almost dark. Once it got dark, the monsters' strength would increase significantly, and they would be instantly marked with the Dark Mark. In this desolate Sea Rock City and on Sea Rock Island, they would become prey for the monsters beneath the endless seabed.

Ugh!

The eerie, red, humanoid figure emitted strange noises and rapidly twisted as it approached.

“There are four left. I just checked, and there’s a bank downstairs in that mall. After we take them all out, we can use the vault down there as a temporary shelter. Maybe we can survive the night.” Vanessa’s eyes were cold; the situation was extremely critical.

"That's the only way!" Gedi gripped his electric hammer fist, gave a soft shout, and prepared to strike.

Unexpectedly, a wall of fire suddenly appeared with an annihilating force, engulfing both red monsters. Then, a grappling hook swung by, and Xiao Qing, empowered by her new power armor, flashed past like a black lightning bolt. Her vibrating blade sliced ​​off the head of the red monster in front of Vanessa, and the head was pierced by a laser beam as it flew into the air.

Meanwhile, as the last Rifttail Man roared in, Ning Jing, clad in [Executor X1], descended from the sky. Without using any weapons, she ignored the tail spikes behind it and punched the monster's head. The monster had just released its bio-force field when, in the next instant, the punch produced a sharp sonic boom, smashing its head apart. The impact caused half of its torso and the ground to collapse in a funnel-shaped crack!
boom!
In an instant, smoke and dust erupted!

This sudden turn of events caught Vanessa and Geddy off guard.

"who?!"

"We are not enemies." At this moment, a young man covered in flames slowly descended from the sky, arms crossed, with a stern expression.

"I see it."

Seeing these uninvited guests, and noticing that the strange creatures in front of her had been dealt with in an instant, Gedi immediately realized what was going on and asked, "You came from the land?"

“Yes.” Ning Jing led a group of people over: “It’s getting dark soon. We’re just passing by, so we thought we’d lend a hand. Where is your shelter? Or we could exchange frequencies and communicate again after dawn.”

Vanessa shook her head: "It's going to get dark soon. After dark, a large number of monsters will suddenly appear on this island and roam the city. After darkness falls, the entire city will become a hunting ground for monsters. They will be easy to be discovered even without dark markers, so we need to use decoys to balance the area."

"A decoy?"

"Don't explain, Sister Ning, bring them back." Lin Xian's voice came through the earpiece: "Queen Mo and Qian Dele are back. It won't be more than 5 minutes before it gets dark. Come back quickly."

"Understood!" Ning Jing responded immediately, then said to the two, "If you're willing, you can come back to the shelter with us."

Gedi and Vanessa exchanged glances and immediately said, "No problem, wait a moment."

Having said that, she suddenly moved, leaping onto the roof of the mall she had just been on. She took a deep red reagent from a mechanical unit in her elbow, deployed a small device, placed it on the sniper who had been blown away by the missile, and then turned around.

"Is the distance far? We'll have to fly!"

"can!"

In an instant, the squad activated their power armor thrusters and took off, then quickly flew towards the West Coast Rail Link Station. Vanessa and the other two behind them did not have the ability to stay airborne for long, so they were carried by Xiaoqing and Abai. The two looked at the approaching rail station with some surprise on their faces. They landed from the top of the rail station, where a fully armed heavy train quietly stopped. Drones were flying all over the area.

"Get in the car, seal the windows, and spray deodorizer!"

Lin Xian stood at the door. Vanessa's words had reached him, and the strange situations in the city that Qian Dele and his team had investigated made Lin Xian realize the seriousness of the situation. He then instructed Viola to make full preparations to deal with the darkness.

He had everyone board the train and recalled the drone. Just as he closed the doors, a strange tidal wave flashed across the previously dark sky, the air suddenly turned cold, and an extremely violent dark force surged from the sea like a tsunami, instantly covering the entire sea area, including Haiyan Island.

18:35.
it's dark.

At that very moment, countless eerie black shadows appeared on the previously desolate coastline, as if they were abyssal monsters emerging from the seabed, and swam toward the city accompanied by the sound of dripping seawater!
