A beautiful woman in the apocalypse is pregnant, and all the big shots are vying to be her father.

Chapter 178 Counterattack
The rioters smashed the door frantically for a long time, leaving only some dents and scratches. The thickness and strength of the door, which far exceeded that of ordinary explosion-proof doors, rendered their efforts futile.

The burly man with the scarred face at the head of the group was so enraged that veins bulged on his forehead. He took a few steps back and roared at the other intact camera on the gate. His voice, distorted and amplified by the external loudspeaker, carried into the base, filled with cruelty.

"Listen up, you bastards hiding inside! I'm saying this one last time! Open the door for me, kneel down and beg for mercy! If I'm in a good mood, I might give you a quick death! But if I have to smash this iron lump open..."

He let out a grotesque, guttural laugh, his voice as piercing as an owl's. "Kill all the men inside! I'm starving, it's been ages since I've tasted roasted human flesh! As for the women... hehe, let the brothers have their fill first, then we'll chop them up and cook them! Their delicate skin and tender flesh will make a wonderful soup!"

The thugs behind him roared with mad and lewd laughter, spewing all sorts of vulgarities, as if they could already see a bloody and lewd feast.

Inside the base, the original personnel heard this inhuman, beast-like declaration through the still-functioning cameras. Their faces turned deathly pale, and many felt their stomachs churn, almost vomiting.

They had previously been skeptical of Josie's description of the "outside world," but now, hearing such a blatant threat that treated cannibalism and torture as commonplace, they were instantly gripped by immense fear and disgust.

Only then did they truly believe that the outside world had long since collapsed and that humanity had degenerated to such a terrible degree!

"We can't... we can't let them keep smashing it like this!" Li Weiguo's voice trembled, filled with both anger and fear. "No matter how sturdy the door structure is, it can't withstand this kind of continuous heavy impact. If a breach is made, the extreme cold air from outside will rush in, and the internal temperature control system will instantly overload and fail. All the precision instruments, including the life support system, could be paralyzed!"

Josie's eyes were cold. Just as she was about to give an order, the airtight door of the core laboratory slid open, and Fu Jinxing led several tired but focused researchers out quickly.

They were clearly alerted by the continuous alarms and the sound of impacts.

"What's going on outside?" Fu Jinxing pushed up his glasses, his brows furrowed.

Luo Xiang immediately gave a brief report on the situation.

Josie added, "The other side has more than thirty people, and they all look like seasoned superhumans. They are quite strong, and... they are utterly inhuman."

She repeated the threat she had just heard, and Fu Jinxing's face instantly darkened, his gaze behind his glasses turning icy cold.

"This battle is unavoidable." Fu Jinxing's voice was icy. "Not only must we fight, but we must fight hard and make a deterrent! Otherwise, these hyenas will keep sniffing out our scent and attacking us!"

He made a swift decision: "Shen Han, you lead the main force to engage them and ensure their complete annihilation or defeat! Luo Xiang, you and your men will provide support. All original base defense personnel, move to the flank firing positions to provide suppressive fire and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to rush the entrance. At the same time, be prepared to deal with any emergencies!"

The order had barely been given when Shen Han was already poised to act.

Black mist churned around him, his eyes were as cold and sharp as ice, and he nodded at the control panel.

The heavy alloy door, activated by its internal mechanism, made a loud rumbling sound and slowly opened inwards, creating a gap large enough for a person to pass through!
The biting cold wind outside the door and the ferocious faces of the thugs instantly came into view!

"Kill!" Shen Han roared, taking the lead and transforming into a black shadow carrying an aura of destruction as he charged out first!

The elite superhumans behind him roared and followed closely like tigers released from their cages!

The battle breaks out instantly!

The narrow mountain valley outside the door became a bloody meat grinder.

As expected, the opponents were all fierce individuals with a wide variety of supernatural abilities, including flames, ice spikes, and earth spikes... all sorts of attacks roared towards Shen Han and his companions.

Qiao Xi wanted to step forward, but Fu Jinxing grabbed her wrist. "You stay here and observe the whole scene. If there are any loopholes, fix them in time."

Josie had no choice but to stop for the time being.
She saw the black mist emanating from Shen Han's body expand like a domain, easily engulfing and slowing down the enemy's attacks. Wherever it passed, the enemy's movements became stiff and sluggish. Xie Jue was sometimes behind the enemy; if he wasn't careful, he could have pierced them straight through.

Luo Xiang, like a human tank, withstood the opponent's fireball and punched an enemy who was trying to sneak up, sending him flying. The sound of his ribs shattering could be clearly heard.

The battle was fierce and brutal, with roars, screams, and explosions from the collision of supernatural powers filling the air.

Blood quickly stained the pristine snow, and severed limbs and remains were scattered everywhere.

Josie pursed her lips, closely watching the battle, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.

The short ten minutes or so felt like an eternity.

When the last piercing scream abruptly ceased, those still standing in the ravine were almost all from Shen Han's side.

Of the more than thirty people on the other side, most of them were turned into cold corpses, a few were seriously injured and lay on the ground groaning, and only six or seven people saw that the situation was not good and were so frightened that they turned around and tried to escape into the depths of the snowstorm!

"Get out of here! Get out of here right now! These people are monsters!" The scarred leader's arm was twisted unnaturally, his face was covered in blood, and he roared in terror as he led the way in the escape.

"Clear the battlefield and treat the wounded!" Josie immediately gave the order, and she personally led the logistics and medical personnel out the door.

The area outside the door was like a battlefield.

A biting wind, carrying a strong, nauseating stench of blood, swept over us.

The wounded on their side were quickly and carefully carried back to the base's warm treatment room.

Josie's gaze fell on a dying enemy lying in the snow not far away.

The man's abdomen was ripped open, his intestines were faintly visible, and he rapidly lost body temperature in the freezing cold, his face turning ashen.

He saw Josie approaching, and a fierce will to survive ignited in his eyes. He struggled to raise his hand, his voice weak and humble:
"Help...help me...please...I...I don't want to die...it's...so cold...I'll freeze to death...please..."

Josie stopped and looked down at him, her eyes devoid of warmth, filled only with cold indifference, as if she were looking at a pile of disgusting filth: "Save people?"

Her voice was soft, yet it pierced the other person's heart like an ice pick: "I only save people, not animals."

The glimmer of hope in that man's eyes was instantly replaced by despair and a hint of ruthlessness!
He gritted his teeth, his superpowers exhausted. With his other hand hidden beneath him, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and, with his last bit of strength, stabbed at Josie's calf.

Even in his dying moments, he wanted to take someone down with him!

Josie reacted extremely quickly, easily dodging to the side, and then stomped down hard with her foot!
"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out!

The man's wrist was instantly broken, and the dagger flew out.

"Ah!" A piercing scream tore through the cold sky.
