Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 553 With a chainsaw sword, who needs a gun?!

Yellow sand fills the sky.

As far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single patch of green vegetation that existed before the catastrophe.

The parched earth, like the skin of an old man scorched by fire for centuries, is covered with jagged ravines.

In the distance, the outline of the long-abandoned city loomed, appearing and disappearing amidst the crimson dust, like a series of silent, enormous tombstones.

Three heavily armed pickup trucks, kicking up clouds of dust, drove across this desolate wilderness.

Mark sat in the passenger seat of the lead car.

He is leading the Hunter Squad and the Travelers on this mission.

Head to the Mana Ecological Zone to search for life-saving medicine for the old city lord who is on the verge of death in his hospital bed.

However, the convoy had only driven halfway there.

We had just reached the edge of the abandoned town.

"Captain, something's wrong! Communication at the logistics command center... has suddenly gone down!"

Mo Cheng, sitting in the back seat, was making his usual routine communication when he suddenly noticed something amiss.

Mark, in the passenger seat, frowned sharply: "Switch to the backup channel! Try contacting the Lighthouse again using other methods!"

"I'm trying it!"

Mo Cheng's ten fingers, clad in tactical gloves, were rapidly typing on the portable computer perched on his lap.

However, the feedback that came back in the end was all news of failure!
"Damn it! It still doesn't work!"

Mo Cheng slammed his fist on the inner wall of the carriage. "I can't even contact our hunter members who are still at the lighthouse!"

Things are bad.

But Mark breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"It seems that we have simply encountered a strong geomagnetic interference field, which has temporarily severed our long-distance communication with the lighthouse."

It's not just him.

Most of the other people in the team shared the same idea.

After all, no one could have predicted it.

They had only left two or three hours ago.

It was perfectly fine when it left, but then the lighthouse, which symbolized humanity's last hope, malfunctioned and made an emergency landing.

Erica, sitting in another car with a lollipop in her mouth, asked indistinctly:

"So what should we do now? Go back?"

Mark paused for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"If it's just communications interference... continue the mission. If other dangers arise, then retreat."

Upon hearing this, no one else voiced any objection.

As a hunter, you encounter all sorts of strange and unusual situations when carrying out missions on the ground.

At least, this is definitely not the first time that simple communication interference has occurred.

The three heavily armed pickup trucks continued on their way.

We drove into an abandoned town that had been taken over by the Mana ecosystem.

……

On the other side, not far from them.

A slightly less technologically advanced off-road vehicle is speeding towards the same direction.

"Boss, something seems... off."

The man with the striking rooster-like comb on his head stared intently at his laptop screen and said in a deep, rapid voice:

"Judging from the coordinates, the lighthouse's altitude is constantly decreasing. Moreover, I detected a large number of Devouring Beasts' source matter reactions around it."

"Huh? Is that giant pot lid flying in the sky finally going to fall down?"

Sitting in the back seat, Xu Tong, wearing a Peking Opera mask, gloated and laughed maliciously upon hearing the unfortunate news.

"Hehehe... I've disliked them for a long time!"

Bai Yuekui sat quietly in the passenger seat.

She seemed to be taking a nap with her eyes closed, her long, shapely legs casually crossed and resting on the center console. The top of her black stockings revealed the soft, white flesh of her plump thighs, which trembled slightly with the movement of the car.

After a moment, she spoke slowly, her voice cool and clear: "Let's leave the lighthouse aside for now. Our primary target is still Mark."

"However, we still need to keep a close eye on what's happening at the lighthouse. Quiet?"

"give it to me!"

The taciturn man, who was rapidly operating the computer, spared one hand and gave a thumbs-up.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly.

She had great confidence in the abilities of her team members.

However, what she couldn't understand was...

"Why did the lighthouse...fall down?"

She had visited this floating city decades ago.

Therefore, Bai Yuekui knew very well that as long as the core of this floating city, the Kloto system, which was formed by combining the biological brain of the Mana giants with the old-era super artificial intelligence ASH, did not malfunction, the lighthouse would never fall.

This Kloto system had fallen into disuse decades ago.

Logically speaking, the probability of something going wrong is very small.

Unless there is an abnormality in the related 'cranial life' that stimulates His awakening.

“We haven’t made a move yet… Mark has been within our observation range the whole time, and there haven’t been any abnormalities.”

"Could it be that some unexpected event has occurred again?"

Bai Yuekui frowned slightly, his handsome brows furrowed, and shifted his weight to the other leg, looking somewhat annoyed.

……

Meanwhile, the lighthouse is located.

Countless Devouring Beasts gathered, like an ant swarm, and climbed upwards along the cylindrical iron net.

Countless tongues of fire poured forth from the close-in weapon system within the steel mesh and the heavy machine guns temporarily erected on the lifting platform!

One after another, Devouring Beasts were 'smashed' down by bullets finer than a rainstorm.

Those Devouring Beasts that unfortunately fall to the ground will soon stagger back up and start climbing again.

Even if it is battered and torn apart by the raging metal storm!
It was utterly impossible to stop their frenzied attacks! Nor could it kill them completely!
Linglong Moyu stood at the edge of the platform, calmly observing the overall battle situation, without immediately joining the fight.

On the one hand, he needs time to digest the life essence he had consumed in the battle and refine the complex life information contained within it.

On the other hand, at this stage, it wouldn't make much sense for him to continue acting recklessly on his own like before.

The reason he did that before was actually to gather intelligence and test his own capabilities.

The subsequent fierce battles were fought in order to devour the life essence and enhance their own strength.

The current situation is that his absorption of life essence is about to reach a dangerous critical point.

Given the current situation, he could easily devour twenty or thirty of them.

"Lord Adam! There are too many Devouring Beasts! Our firepower is about to be overwhelmed!"

Hilda rapidly changed the magazine on her large-caliber sniper rifle while loudly reporting to Mo Yu.

Linglong Moyu stared down below.

The first batch of Devouring Beasts has already reached the last thirty-meter buffer zone covered by the adhesive.

A dozen or so snake-dogs lay on the steel mesh, staring at him.

They revealed a sinister, drooling smile as they looked at the life essence flowing rapidly within Mo Yu's body, a life essence brimming with deadly allure, with foul-smelling viscous liquid oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"Want to eat me? What a coincidence..."

Looking at these snake-dogs that he considered "somewhat cute but ugly," Linglong Moyu's eyes once again revealed a hint of madness.

“Me too…” He turned his head and gave the order: “Activate the ‘flood discharge’ plan. Release a portion of the Devouring Beasts in the direction from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock, in stages, to reduce the pressure of firepower.”

Hilda had personally witnessed Mo Yu wreaking havoc among the Devouring Beasts.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to carry out the order and issued it.

However, the original members of the hunter squad who were responsible for operating the close-in weapon system had distorted expressions and were very conflicted.

They were all hunters who had carried out ground missions and had personally experienced the horrors of the Devouring Beasts.

Therefore, they knew better than anyone else that even if they used heavy materials to dismantle it into eight pieces, they would not be able to completely eliminate it.

Is there really a way to kill this immortal monster?

"No, the firepower pressure is too great! We're about to lose control!" The close-in weapon system at the eleven o'clock position sent a message.

"...We truly cannot stop all the Devouring Beasts. Letting some in in stages will indeed allow us to hold out for longer. Otherwise, the final result will likely be a complete collapse!"

After careful consideration, the close-in weapon system at the one o'clock position agreed to the flood diversion plan. "Besides... if what Lord Adam said is true..."

"Let's put some in and try it out!"

The close-in weapon system at the twelve o'clock position also relented, saying, "There's a heavy artillery squad on the platform. Even if we fail, we should be able to control the situation. But don't deploy too many!"

"Understood!"*2
There was no other way; the firepower pressure was simply too great!

The three close-in weapon systems immediately adjusted their firing angles, unleashing all their bullets on the areas where the Devouring Beasts were more concentrated, maximizing the effect of firepower suppression.

Meanwhile, the Devouring Beasts that had already approached the front of the platform were left to be blocked by the civilian soldiers on the elevator platform who were equipped with heavy machine guns and set up a crossfire network.

The fighting on the front lines is fierce.

The logistics staff were so busy they were cursing.

Teams of laborers tirelessly loaded bullets from the rear, filling magazines one by one before rushing them to the front lines.

However, conventional firepower was ultimately insufficient to suppress these undead monsters.

Under the tense and fearful gazes of the crowd.

A nimble snake-dog, stepping on the bodies of its kind stuck to the steel mesh above, leaped over the line of fire and soared up!

"Roar!!"

With a powerful landing, its six thick limbs shoveled into the metal deck.

Raising its head, it let out a roar full of savagery and excitement at this brand-new "hunting ground"!
The fear in people's hearts was instantly ignited!
The intense emotional fluctuations caused the life essence to emit a sweet scent that was incredibly alluring to the Devouring Beast!

This snake-dog looked like a rat that had crawled into a rice granary.

Before my eyes are irresistible, readily available delicacies!

Which one to eat first? Too many choices can be a real headache.

Just as it was shaking its head and looking left and right, making its pre-meal selection.

A human, whose life essence flowed like a raging river, charged towards it, wielding a chainsaw sword!

Wow, not only is it not running away, it's actually charging towards me? Interesting.

The snake-dog crouched down, just as it was about to pounce.

The small human figure in its eyes suddenly vanished like a ghost!
"Om-!"

The roar of the chainsaw sword suddenly rang in its ears!

A deep, gruesome wound, deep enough to break bones, almost tore its abdomen apart.

more importantly……

What that human was holding looked like it was its...

"Crack!"

Linglong Moyu crushed the blood-stained spirit seed in his hand.

The snake-dog's head-lowering, biting motion paused.

Its massive body rapidly collapsed, disintegrating into a pool of dark red flesh and soil.

At this moment, all eyes, whether on ordinary people or superiors, were focused on him.

The instant he crushed the crystal core, causing the Devouring Beast to collapse into the Breath of Earth.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the dark red mass of flesh and held their breath!

They were terrified that the terrifying Devouring Beast might come back to life and give them a mocking smile at the next second.

"What the hell are you all standing there like idiots for?!"

Looking at the silent area, Linglong Moyu, who had once again fallen into a state of frenzy after absorbing the life essence, immediately roared:

"Fire! Are you all just waiting for the Devouring Beasts to gnaw your brains?!"

In that brief pause, seven or eight snake-dogs had already successfully climbed up!
Linglong Moyu Chainsaw Sword was swung, instantly severing a head!
Hilda had seen him kill the Devouring Beasts before, and he reacted the fastest. With a flick of his sniper rifle, he accurately knocked back a Devouring Beast that was leaping into the air, causing it to fall from the sky.

Only then did everyone realize they were dreaming!

"Kill Kou Ya!!"

The heavy-duty squad roared excitedly.

Following Mo Yu's example, they raised their chainsaw swords high and charged towards the Devouring Beast that had just climbed up!
Then two of them were slapped down by the snake dog...

Hilda turned and fired another shot, knocking back a snake-dog that was lunging at the fallen heavy robot.

He then roared angrily into the communication channel at the two unfortunate men, "Use guns! Use guns! You idiots!!"

She didn't quite understand.

How come these guys, who usually prefer guns to close combat and are even too lazy to carry chainsaws, have suddenly become so brave?
It can only be said that the power of role models is boundless.

Men, when they get carried away with passion, are truly capable of not caring about their own lives!

"Damn it! Die!"

The first guy to fall got up cursing, grabbed the snake dog by the neck with his backhand, and plunged the chainsaw sword in his right hand into its back.

"Zi——!"

The rapidly spinning chain teeth pierced through the leather armor, tore through the flesh, and a large amount of blood spurted out!
It stained the silvery-white three-dimensional surface red, and also stained the lens window in front of him.

He didn't care at all, even though his vision was blurred by blood!

The robotic arm followed the gruesome wound on the snake-dog's back, breaking its ribs and tearing out a crystal shrouded in blue light, along with a large amount of flesh and bone fragments!

"Crack!"

The Spirit Seed shattered.

The Devouring Beast instantly went limp.

Its massive body then disintegrated into a pool of dark red flesh and soil.

Not just the side in front of him.

The other five Devouring Beasts that were released were also killed by the other Heavy Dimensional beings in the same bloody and violent manner!

Complete annihilation!!

The heavy-duty squad exchanged glances.

They raised their chainsaws, stained with blood and bits of flesh, and roared with the most fanatical cries:
"Long live Lord Adam!"

"Fight for the lighthouse! Fight for humanity!!"

They roared and charged headlong into the surging onslaught of more Devouring Beasts.

A real man fights head-on in close combat!
Hilda, sniping from the rear, sighed helplessly: "These idiots... how come I never noticed before that they all get so easily carried away? That's not how you use a 3D camera!!"

Jessica, who had been watching the entire battlefield from the rear via holographic projection, was moved to tears as she witnessed this scene.

This bloody and powerful performance, full of primal violence, is very much in line with the mechanical aesthetics she admires!
"It seems... I'll need to specialize in heavy-duty close-combat capabilities and research a new model!"

She gently stroked her chin with two fingers and nodded emphatically. "Yes, it's decided. The codename will be 'Adam'!"

"Heavy-weighted mechs that usher in a new era!"
