Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 185 Dark clouds over the city
The sky was filled with heavy rain.

The flashes of lightning and the artillery fire erupting from the dark mass of people on the ground almost merged into one, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.

The tall, muscular Xuanwu looked at the scene before him with a solemn expression in his eyes.

Only a dozen minutes had passed since they first engaged in combat.

At first, everything went smoothly.

Although they carried only light firepower for concealment, they had taken this into account beforehand and had prepared sufficient ammunition and grenades.

In an instant, the attacking zombies were thrown into chaos.

With the two of them in command, they watched as those hideous humanoid monsters were torn to pieces by bullets a hundred meters from the position.

Even with its tenacious vitality, it still crawled on the ground, dragging its broken body.

However, it was quickly mixed together with the already overturned road surface under subsequent attacks, becoming indistinguishable from the other.

For the first few minutes, everything went very well.

The bloody and violent scene even excited the white tiger standing nearby.

If it weren't for the fact that the battlefield was too complex and it was easy to be accidentally injured by friendly fire, I probably would have jumped down and charged around for a couple of rounds.

But soon, the situation changed.

Originally, those withered, mummified creatures, though tenacious in their lives, could not withstand the firepower for more than a few breaths.

Even those larger ones, covered in wrinkles and bluish-gray, could only hold out for a few more seconds after the firepower was concentrated.

As the commotion grew louder, more and more zombies staggered toward them.

As they stood in front, several individual corpses were torn apart by the firepower.

Then, a zombie with black hair and a fuller body was revealed.

Previously, the two had also noticed this kind of creature with mottled black hair on its body.

They are much tougher; they can withstand gunfire and run for a while before being torn apart and falling to the ground.

Previously, however, their numbers were relatively small, like those agile, shriveled gray zombies, and they did not pose a threat.

Now, a large number of zombies have been attracted here.

Only as those vulnerable individuals were torn apart by bullets and explosions did the two realize this.

Unbeknownst to them, the number of these clearly superior black-haired zombies had already exceeded half.

This change also put the two of them on high alert.

However, it was soon discovered that it was just a bit sturdy, and it didn't take much effort to withstand the high-frequency tearing of guns and cannons.

After advancing less than 20 meters under continuous fire from the defensive line, they were firmly blocked and could not advance an inch further.

If that's all there is to it, then the two of them have both conserved their energy and haven't yet made a move, and they also have ample ammunition reserves.

From this perspective, even if the number were doubled, it wouldn't be too difficult to hold them off for an hour.

Just when everyone thought the mission would be completed easily, a distinctly different roar suddenly rang out.

For a moment, it even drowned out the roar of gunfire around them.

"Roar!!"

With a roar, a burly figure, clearly a head taller than the surrounding zombies, suddenly broke free.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of snipers, who were primarily tasked with eliminating powerful individuals.

With their excellent training and swift movements, they locked onto the target direction quickly, pulled the trigger, and everything happened in an instant.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three heavy sniper rifle shots, louder than any other weapon, followed by three thick, metallic-gleaming armor-piercing bullets that shattered the rain and hurtled towards them.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Accompanied by a clear metallic clanging sound.

The indifferent gaze behind the scope suddenly contracted.

From the sniper's perspective, those three armor-piercing rounds could have pierced several holes even on an armored vehicle.

Surprisingly, after hitting the tall, filthy, green-furred zombie, it sent sparks flying.

It couldn't even tear apart the body, let alone the moldy skin.

It only caused some debris and left a few marks; it wasn't even considered an injury.

"...What kind of monster is this?"

Not far from the defensive line, on the top of a sturdy and upright ornamental tree.

The Yue family snipers, dressed in black robes and wearing masks, couldn't help but gasp in shock when they saw this scene through the scope of their guns.

As ordinary people, we rarely come into contact with the extraordinary. Before setting off, we were afraid that we would not be able to withstand the pressure and would run away, thus affecting the battle.

The people on this trip were all selected from the tribe's best members who were trained and skilled in combat, and they were injected with a large amount of sedative drugs beforehand.

Moreover, as elite units like snipers, they are secretly trained from a young age, undergo military-style training, and serve their families.

It's not easy for them to experience this level of emotional fluctuation under the stimulation of drugs and hypnosis.

And it wasn't just the snipers looking through their scopes who were so shocked.

As extraordinary beings, the physically powerful White Tiger and Black Tortoise had been observing the entire battle from their vantage point and were among the first to notice this unexpected turn of events.

The white tiger, which had now reverted to human form to conserve its energy, narrowed its eyes.

The next moment, a burst of purple particles climbed up, and in the blink of an eye, the eyes transformed into a pair of purple vertical pupils.

The current battle situation seemed to be instantly veiled by a purple filter.

But at the same time, everything in the field of vision became exceptionally clear, as if it were night vision.

Within the eerie, contracting purple vertical pupils, the zombie charging forward under intense firepower rapidly magnified and became clear before one's eyes.

"Hmm, let this old man take a look..."

Muttering to himself, he also saw the strange zombie that suddenly appeared, its flesh gradually being torn off under the subsequent concentrated fire.

"...Fortunately, this thing isn't truly invulnerable to swords and spears, it just takes a little more time."

"I'll have them snipe at its limbs first. If it's just one, it's not much of a threat..."

Upon hearing this, Xuanwu, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed, did not seem to agree with his companion's overly optimistic statement.

"White Tiger, let's prepare for battle. I don't think this mission will be that simple."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his eyes, gazing into the distance through the occasional streaks of lightning that flashed across the sky.

Looking at the ever-growing, increasingly densely packed dark figures at the edge of his vision, his tone was grave.

"Ok?"

The white tiger, who had been called back, was somewhat puzzled.

However, noticing the other party's serious tone, he did not refute anything, but instead stopped and watched the battle with him.

The subsequent battlefield scenes were exactly as Baihu had just described.

The zombie, noticeably taller and covered in dirty green down, advanced under the gunfire to within 50 meters of the defensive line.

Finally, a grenade exploded close to his face, bringing him to a halt.

Those legs, with their skin and flesh stripped away to reveal the bones, were blasted away, crashed to the ground, and were then submerged in the ensuing horde of zombies.

that's it.

For the next half hour.

Every now and then, another one of those powerful green-haired zombies would pop up from the horde of zombies on the defensive line.

But they will soon be crippled and killed in a concentrated attack.

However, as time went on, the frequency of its occurrence increased.

In the end, three or four might even appear at the same time.

The range of firepower on the defensive line was also pushed back again and again.

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, the White Tiger and Black Tortoise were helpless.

They could only risk being accidentally injured by going down into the fray to intercept the green-haired zombie that was rushing too close.

However, they immediately realized how tricky the situation was once they clashed.

Once again transformed into a half-human, half-ghost creature, the White Tiger, as always, tried to teleport directly to the other's side and pierce through the opponent's chest with its hand, which had transformed into a ghostly claw.

But when you swing it hard, the sensation on your hand feels like you're poking into a tank's armor.

"Clang—!"

With a clang of metal, the white tiger's outstretched hand was jolted backward.

My fingertips, no longer covered by the heavy umbrella, were instantly drenched by a dense rain. "Sizzle!"

A plume of white smoke rose from it, resembling sulfuric acid corrosion, and it quickly withered away.

"Um…"

The sudden pain caused the white tiger, who was holding an umbrella, to let out a muffled groan.

In an instant, a flash of purple light transported them to a distant place.

Stay where you are.

The green-haired corpse, covered in wounds and close to the defensive line, was also suddenly thrown forward by this powerful attack.

The wound to the back only left five shallow bloody holes. They barely pierced the skin, let alone penetrated it.

He flashed back to his original spot, staring at the corroded fingertip. This made the White Tiger abandon his contempt.

As the body swelled up, the other half, which still maintained a normal skin color, was quickly and completely stained by the spreading purplish-black ink.

He grew a little taller, and the hand holding the umbrella transformed into the same sharp, ghostly claw.

His eyes gleamed with a purple light.

A flash of light, and the distance closed again in an instant.

This time, when the attacked green-haired corpse turned around to retaliate, he directly formed his claws into a cone and thrust it fiercely at its head.

"Sizzle—!"

It was accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound.

This attack unleashed the full power of the White Tiger, a single, powerful claw strike.

The sharp fingertips tore off a large dent from the side of the green-haired corpse's face.

Large amounts of bone fragments mixed with putrid blood splattered out.

Having landed a successful blow, Baihu's eyes flashed with murderous intent beneath his silver mask.

The next moment, with a whooshing sound, several more piercing attacks were launched, all aimed at the green-haired corpse's head.

Finally, the zombie, which had been weakened by the defensive line's firepower, slowly ceased its activity after these few all-out attacks.

Dragging his shattered and twisted head, he fell onto the broken road surface, which was mixed with mud and pieces of flesh.

And the other side.

Xuanwu then took out two small, fist-sized, grayish-white rock blocks from his palm.

With the movement, it rapidly expanded and grew larger, transforming into two enormous stones, each one meter square, which were then held in the hands.

Like two giant hammers, they lashed out with a whooshing sound, leaving trails in the downpour, and struck the zombies in front of them with devastating force.

"Bang-!!"

At the point of impact, a visible shockwave rippled through the rain.

Accompanied by a dull thud.

With a single blow, it knocked the slender zombie to the ground.

What followed was a relentless barrage of hammer blows.

Like a meteorite hitting the ground, the zombie was embedded in the concrete floor in just a few seconds, twitched twice, and then fell silent.

After dealing with the two green-haired zombies that had rushed too close, the two regrouped.

As if sensing something at the same time, they stood still, retracted their stances, and simultaneously turned their gazes into the distance.

Under the light of the lightning in the sky, a filthy green patch writhed in sight.

Looking closely, there were at least several dozen.

These zombies, with their dirty green hair, stood out conspicuously, towering a head above the surrounding zombies.

He was pushing through the horde of corpses in front of him, his eyes red as he charged forward.

"Hehe~ Looks like we can't stay idle."

The white tiger, who had also noticed the situation in the distance, stroked his beard and chuckled.

A savage, murderous glint flashed in his purple eyes.

Xuanwu, standing to the side, did not reply, but simply nodded.

At this moment, neither of them was too nervous.

Although the filthy green-furred zombie was somewhat troublesome, it lacked reason and was useless despite its strength and sturdy body.

Moreover, his strength is still somewhat inferior to the two of them.

As long as they are not surrounded by a large group, they will not be in any danger.

With the support of the defensive line behind us, holding out for another hour or two shouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, Xuanwu was worried about the defense of the other two routes.

The two of them were already among the strongest in the organization, so they managed to deal with the surging horde of zombies and the troublesome green-haired zombies with relative ease.

However, this situation might not be so easy to deal with in the hands of the others.

Although he had secretly vowed to do everything for his benefactor, the Yue family head, Yue Feng, ever since he joined the organization.

But if possible, he still doesn't want too many ordinary people to die or be injured in this trouble.

Not long ago, he was a soldier struggling to make ends meet, and he understood very well that it was already hard enough for ordinary people to live in this world.

"...I hope nothing goes wrong."

Thinking this, he swung the heavy boulder in his hand and smashed a shriveled zombie that was lunging at him away.

With this action, more and more zombies surged in, only to be torn apart amidst the constant flashing explosions and gunfire.

...

At this time,
The other two lines of defense that he was concerned about,
It's a similar scene.

The furthest and narrowest riverside pedestrian street,

At this moment, more than a dozen trucks loaded with various stones and building materials have overturned at the intersection.

The debris collided and piled up, forming a messy city wall that was almost level with the second-floor shops next to it.

On the rooftops of the low-rise shops on both sides, machine guns were set up, aimed at the center.

At this moment, amidst the dim night, continuous gunfire roared.

Bright lines of bullets swept back and forth through the dense horde of corpses like wheat being harvested.

Meanwhile, at the shop windows facing the street, men in black robes carrying rifles were sniping any stragglers that slipped through the crossfire.

Everything was in perfect order, demonstrating the decision-makers' excellent planning and arrangements.

And at this time.

On the rooftop of a clothing store, closest to the front line, there was a ventilation fan the size of a table.

At this moment, a small blanket soaked by rain was laid on the machine's flat top cover.

On the blanket, a fox-tailed creature wearing a pink and white mask and a shirt and skirt was lying on it, its head lowered and its buttocks sticking up high.

His eyes were fixed on the surging horde of zombies below, as if a predator had locked onto its prey.

She remained completely still as torrential rain streamed down her smooth, bright pink twin tails.

The scene was completely silent, a stark contrast to the noisy battlefield just a dozen steps away.

And then a few more minutes passed.

All of this finally made Yue Yi, who was standing to the side wearing a patterned mask, unable to stand it any longer.

Since arriving here, this person has simply laid out a blanket, lay down comfortably, and remained completely still.

I have to arrange all the work myself.

I thought they would move to a different location after it rained, but several hours have passed and there seems to be no sign of them moving.

Yue Yi's chest heaved violently as he took a step forward and opened his mouth to say something.

But just as he was about to speak, the little girl who had been lying on the blanket twitched her ears and suddenly turned her face, which was covered by a fox mask.

A pair of inhuman eyes, with an aura that seemed to devour people alive, immediately stunned Yue Yi, who had just taken a step forward.

Only when the fox's tail suddenly turned its head did it begin to move.

She raised her arm, which was tucked in front of her, and extended a slender, white index finger, placing it upright at the mouth of the mask.

"Shh~ Don't make a sound before attacking! Otherwise you won't catch the rabbit!"
