Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 102 The Demise of the Settlement Town

Antonov's smug expression froze instantly. He sprang up from his chair, grabbed the officer by the collar, and his eyes widened: "Say that again, you fucking idiot? What? A mutant? Did you see that clearly?!"

"It's everywhere outside." The officer nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling with tears, "Our men are holding them off at the door, and so many have already died!"

"How is this possible—" Antonov loosened his grip and slumped back into his chair, his eyes filled with disbelief, muttering something unintelligible.

Lawrence paid no attention to the distraught Antonov. Hearing the sounds of fighting and screams outside, his blood rushed to his head.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the blast shield from the wall, kicked open the office door, and rushed out.

As soon as I rushed out of the office area, the pungent smell of blood hit me.

In the open space in front of the police station, officers were locked in a fierce battle with a group of grotesque, deformed humans.

Those monsters were covered in a bluish-black keratin layer, with sharp claws sticking out from their fingertips; even the weakest of them were at the level of a first-tier psionicist.

The bodies of police officers lay scattered on the ground.

Even Meng Nan, a martial artist at the peak of the first rank, was now tightly entangled by the two mutants. His protective aura was being squeezed and flickering, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, with blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Lawrence let out a deafening roar, and a dazzling ball of psionic energy instantly condensed in his palm, the violent energy causing the surrounding air to tremble.

The surrounding police officers knew their chief's strength all too well, and immediately withdrew, clearing a path for the attack.

Lawrence swung his arm forward suddenly, and a wave of psionic energy the size of a washbasin slammed out.

After a deafening explosion, the several mutants huddled together at the entrance were instantly blasted into a shower of minced meat and blood.

After this wave of aberrations was cleared, it seems that no new aberrations came.

Lawrence quickly came to the group and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"What's going on?"

He looked at Smith and asked.

Smith shook his head with a grim expression. "I don't know. Antonov's men have been keeping us locked up in the police station and not letting us out. Just now, the moon in the sky suddenly became blindingly bright, and then these monsters rushed in from all directions like madmen, smashing open the police station door."

At this moment, Chen Zhe suddenly spoke up, "Chief, I think I know what happened."

"Go ahead," Lawrence said, looking at Chen Zhe seriously.

"Do you remember that series of dismemberment cases?"

Everyone nodded.

"Every time we arrest someone, the evidence is complete, but we just can't find any motive." Chen Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly.

Meng Nan interjected, "Some people just have mental breakdowns, and it's normal for them to kill people as a way of venting their anger."

Chen Zhe shook his head. "I've looked at the case files from previous years, and every dismemberment case has one thing in common."

He looked at the moonlight streaming in from outside. "That's the full moon."

"What does this have to do with the full moon?" Lawrence asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't pay much attention at first." Chen Zhe's cold eyes swept over the deformed creature on the ground and he said, "We gene-based psionicists absorb the genes of star beasts to strengthen ourselves. On Cangnan Star, there is a star beast called the Blood Wolf Beast. They go berserk every full moon. These people have obviously been implanted with the genes of the Blood Wolf Beast."

"Ordinary people—forcibly implanted with genes—" Lawrence muttered these words over and over again, instantly understanding all the key points, and a surge of overwhelming anger rushed to his head.

He whirled around and kicked open the office door. "Damn Xinhe Group! They've turned my territory into their testing ground!"

He rushed to the desk, grabbed Antonov who was slumped in his chair, pressed his fist against Antonov's chin, and roared, "Tell me! How many human experiments has Xinhe conducted in the settlement?!"

Antonov had long lost his previous arrogance. His eyes glazed over as he glanced at Lawrence, and he laughed bitterly, "Give up—Lawrence—we—we will all die here."

Lawrence punched him hard in the face, shattering his bones. Antonov's eye socket swelled up instantly, and blood streamed down his cheek.

Lawrence grabbed his collar, shoved his face in his face, and demanded, "I'm asking you how many people there are! Say 1..."

'

Perhaps it was the pain that brought Antonov back to his senses. He looked at Lawrence with a hint of fear in his eyes and said tremblingly, "I don't know much either, but at least—at least several hundred thousand."

"Hundreds of thousands—" Lawrence's lips trembled slightly. The entire town has less than a million people, yet hundreds of thousands of them were secretly experimented on by Xinhe?

He suddenly recalled that Xinhe Group would come to the town every now and then to conduct free medical consultations, and it was he who sent people to maintain order back then.

Unbelievable! The sheriff of the town, the highest-ranking law enforcement officer, actually dragged the people into experiments right under his nose.

Lawrence, unwilling to accept defeat, slammed his fist on the table.

Antonov continued, trembling, "Once these mutants appear, it means they will wipe out everyone in the town. None of us will escape."

After listening, Lawrence silently put Antonov down and ignored him.

He walked out of the office.

The N7 police officers immediately surrounded them.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Meng Nan asked.

Lawrence gritted his teeth. "Fight our way out. N7 settlement is finished. To survive, we must escape the settlement."

Everyone nodded in silence.

Lawrence's gaze shifted to the manhole cover beside him. He took a deep breath. "Let's go! We'll go down the sewer!"

On the top floor of the Wild Wolf Building, Li Fei frowned as he looked down at the surging tide of mutated humans in the streets and alleys below.

There were mutants everywhere, not even a crack to break through; trying to fight your way out would be a dead end.

—The only option is to evacuate by air. Li Fei immediately dialed Fox's encrypted communication.

After hanging up the communication, the sounds of banging on doors and screams from downstairs were already close at hand. Countless mutants had rushed into Wild Wolf Street and were swarming towards the building.

.

.

Li Fei gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. It seemed that this time, he was really going to have to bleed a lot.

The mechanical link instantly issued the command: Fight to the death!

The Swift Shadow Leopard and the Raging Gorilla instantly engaged the mutants in battle.

If one of the mechanical creations is damaged, Li Fei will immediately replace it.

They managed to withstand the overwhelming onslaught.

Ten minutes later.

As soon as Lao Wu drove his hovercar into N7 settlement, he swallowed hard.

The town beneath our feet had become a living hell, with rampaging, deformed creatures roaming the streets and alleys, flames and thick smoke shooting into the sky, and mournful howls echoing everywhere.

He gripped the control stick tightly, not daring to lower the hovercar even an inch, for fear that the monster would leap up and tear the entire vehicle off.

.

Finally, following the coordinates, he drove the hovercar to the top of the Wild Wolf Building. The moment he looked down and saw the view from the rooftop, the hairs on his body stood on end.

At the edge of the rooftop, the corpses of the mutants were piled high, almost overflowing the roof railing, and blood flowed down the building.

In the center of the rooftop, Li Fei, clad in tattered mechs, leaned against the two remaining, enraged gorillas, their bodies covered in wounds. He raised his hand and blasted away the aberrant mutants that pounced on him. The mech's outer shell was covered in scratches and dents, and sparks were still crackling from the shoulder armor.

Without a moment's hesitation, Old Wu immediately stabilized the hovercar, hovering it directly above the rooftop. He flung open the side hatch and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Li Fei! Get on board!"

Li Fei glanced at the sky, and under the cover of the last two mechanical gorillas, the thrusters on the back of the mecha suddenly roared, and he leaped into the floating vehicle cabin, crashing heavily to the floor.

Seeing that the people had come up, Lao Wu immediately pushed the control lever hard, and the hovercar engine emitted a piercing screech, pulling up to its limit and speeding towards the desert.
