The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 262 Betrayer

Several high-ranking sentries guarded the area around the detectors.

Sensing that the alien species had turned its attention to the equipment, they quickly gathered their defensive lines around the detector.

However, the number of alien species was simply too great, like sharks drawn by the scent of blood, constantly emerging from the black mist.

Defensive sentries set up barriers, but they were no match for the brutal human wave tactics. In an instant, the battle, which had initially been advantageous, turned into a passive situation.

"It has appeared! It's an SS-class Anisopteryx suborder Blueface Dragonfly!"

In the control room, the analyst screamed with excitement.

The assistant then walked to the screen and synchronized all the information he had obtained with Colonel Lauen at the front line.

"Colonel, the target has been identified."

"Understood. Plan in motion. Close the net!"

"Yes!"

At his command, the instruments began to emit astonishing sounds; the Queen's sonic waves, which had disappeared in Granville, were now appearing in these instruments.

In an instant, the alien creatures that had already broken into the city seemed to have heard something frightening, and they began to retreat in panic.

“It’s working!” the analyst said.

"Now, it's our turn to strike. All mobile teams, listen up! Capture that SS-type alien with all your might!"

"Catch him alive!"

"understand!"

From behind the military headquarters, a squad of sentries dressed in black combat uniforms emerged from the shadows. They ran and jumped across the city rooftops at incredible speed, their feet barely making a sound when they landed. When they encountered gaps in the streets, several meters wide, they would crouch down to gather strength and leap into the air like cheetahs.

"We've entered the alien attack range, everyone be careful!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Didn't the colonel say that this mutant isn't strong in combat? It's just that its contamination level is high!"

"Put on your protective gear and now shut up and don't say a word!"

Some team members were careless, and the leader scolded them. Just as they were about to launch a surprise attack on the alien creatures in the sky from behind, a spider web blocked their way, and several black-clad sentries fell from the sky, blocking everyone's path.

"Stop! Where are you stray cats going?"

The man standing at the front grinned, his unusually colored eyes gleaming with a cold light.

“You traitors of the Ariel family, you’ve really sided with the alien race.”

"Tsk tsk, that's really awful. What's with all this talk about 'different species'? In a few decades, won't we all be one family?" Moss leaned against the rusty railing, looking defiantly at the mobile combat team. His eyes scanned the group, but he didn't spot his target. He then signaled to Andrew behind him, who, upon receiving the order, secretly released a small bee.

"Bah! Who's family with the Xenomorphs? Only you disgusting Zerg would fawn over the Xenomorphs. The order has been issued: any traitors will be killed without mercy!"

"Oh dear, I'm so scared! You guys? You think you can kill me without mercy? You'd be too smelly to be a snack for me!"

Before he finished speaking, a blinding light suddenly erupted from Moss's kaleidoscope-like eyes. The colors flowing in his pupils instantly materialized, and a colorful mist surged from his body like boiling dye, carrying a cloying, exotic fragrance, enveloping all the sentries present. Wherever the mist passed, the roof tiles shimmered with an eerie iridescent light, and even the air became viscous and mesmerizing.

"Be on guard! Don't fall for hallucinations! This moth's ability to corrupt minds has become stronger—" Before the leader could finish his warning, the colorful mist surged towards him like a tide. He instinctively held his breath, but felt a cold mental force enter his consciousness through his nasal cavity, and the scene before him instantly began to distort.

Mind control is the best counter to physical attack. The mobile group excels at burst damage and assassination in a short time. However, if they are dragged into a war of attrition by a ruthless opponent, they will completely lose their advantage.

Moss would have ambushed them here, which means he must have already figured out the central government's plan.

The control room lost signal from the mobile team, and the assistant urgently dispatched another reserve force to provide assistance.

"Colonel, the Zerg army is scattered around that double-S mutant, and our people can't get close."

"Those brats actually dare to go against me!" Lauen sheathed his longsword, his eyes blazing with anger and seriousness. "They're so ignorant, getting so close to the aliens, haven't they been corrupted?"

"No, that's what I'm wondering about too. The scan data we received indicates they are fully conscious." "That's strange. Is it because of that girl?"

"You mean Guide Lin?"

Laun didn't reply, but his silence gave the best answer.

Lin Nan marked the Zerg and gave his shielding ability to Arachne and the others. Arachne then shared it with all the Zerg members who joined the network through the newly constructed mental network. Therefore, even though the Zerg army was very close to the aliens, it was not affected by the contamination.

"So that's what they were planning. I underestimated this guide. No wonder His Majesty forbade me to touch her."

"Colonel, His Majesty's time is running out..."

When the Queen was mentioned, everyone's expressions turned serious.

After a moment's hesitation, Laun finally gave the order.

"Let's do it."

"Order!"

The assistant received the order and gave the analyst a look. The analyst took a deep breath and quickly slid his hands across the holographic control screen, adjusting several core instruments to their maximum values.

The values ​​on the control screen instantly soared to the warning red line, and the runes flashed so fast that they almost formed a continuous white light.

In an instant, the detectors mounted on the elevated platform emitted a long, distant whistle, like a bugle call on an ancient battlefield, echoing across the smoke-filled battlefield and instantly drowning out the roars of the aliens and the booming of clashing weapons.

Some lower-level alien species could not resist the sound wave containing high-intensity purifying energy, and obvious abnormalities appeared the moment the long roar sounded.

They seemed to be frozen in place by an invisible force, their bodies as if corroded by strong acid, melting rapidly from the extremities. Black fluid flowed down their cracked skin, eventually turning into thick black water that seeped into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"It's amazing!"

"As expected of the Queen!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"President Edward's instrument is truly amazing. Even though the Queen is unwell, as long as this instrument is in place, the power of the sound waves will remain the same as before!"

"..."

The situation on the battlefield, which had initially tilted in favor of the aliens, was instantly reversed, and most of the alien army in front of Tahir's army disappeared.

"Charge! Press the attack!"

A sentry roared and tore a path with his spiritual power, followed closely by his comrades, their morale burning like a blazing fire.

But this momentum only lasted a short while. On the opposing battlefield, the SS mutant that had been hiding in the black mist finally made a move.

Its enormous eyes glowed red, and within its pupils, which were divided into hundreds of billions of grids, the figures of everyone on the battlefield were reflected in every direction.

Dragonflies are the insects with the most eyes in the world.

Their eyes are large and bulging, taking up most of their heads, and each eye is composed of countless "small eyes". These "small eyes" are all connected to their mental image, enabling them to observe or predict all the subtle movements of their opponents with perfect accuracy.

The little alien creature spread its beautiful, transparent wings, with dark golden light flowing along its veins. Compared to the juvenile form curled up in its cocoon on the train, it now had a relaxed posture, and the energy fluctuations around it were solid and powerful. It was clear that it had successfully broken out of its cocoon and reached its peak power.

It raised its hands high, and a bright red spider lily bloomed in its palm. From the center of the flower's stamen, countless blood-red spores drifted out, spreading in all directions like dandelions blown by the wind. Wherever they passed, the air instantly became viscous.

The sky darkened at a visible speed until it was finally completely covered in scarlet.

The sky turned into eternal night, devoid of stars and moon. Only blood-red spores floated and flickered in the darkness, like countless prying eyes, shrouding the entire battlefield in a deathly red gloom.

"The picture has been released, which means you have no chance of winning..."

Lin Nan stood atop the tower, the glass in front of her shattered. She watched Caesar's figure rush away and murmured softly.
