In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.

"Of course not."

Su Ran glanced at the time on her wristwatch, her eyes like those of a hawk eyeing its prey.

"A heavy-duty drilling and temperature-pressure bomb will wash the ground. Even if it survives, it will still be severely damaged."

With its exceptionally high intelligence at the fourth tier, its first reaction would definitely not be to charge forward and fight to the death, but rather to flee desperately to the rear of the beast tide!

Su Ran's voice sounded like a cold blade over the communication channel.

"What we need to do is, right now, immediately, get around to its absolute rear!"

"When the bombs of Great Xia completely shatter its courage and force it out of its disguised shell..."

He directly took out a crystal core battle blade from his spatial storage, the blade reflecting the cold blue light of the instrument panel.

"This is the moment we cut off their escape route and completely close the net!"

"Hold your guns back now, don't go near that lion."

"I understand, it's acting."

Mo Yun answered, panting heavily.

Below, on the scorched earth, tornadoes of dark green poisonous mist swept across the battlefield, continuously reaping the nearby mutated creatures.

Bai Lu did not respond.

She lay on the broad back of "Little Grey," the fourth-tier mother, as the dog tore open the chests of two hunting dogs with a single claw.

White Deer flicked her wrist, and the flying blade made a wide turn in mid-air, deliberately avoiding the fan-shaped area where Red Lion was located, guiding the Hellhound Mother closer to the edge of the battlefield.

The three of them were like three blunt combs, only grooming the outer stray hairs and never touching the hard stubble in the middle.

This maneuver would not seem out of place on the battlefield.

The three of them slowly wove together a huge bag.

Meanwhile, the eastern section of the defense line.

"die!"

Ye Xiao manipulated "Cheng Ying" and cleaved a third-tier berserk wild bull that had climbed onto the wall in two with a single slash.

The hydraulic system inside the mech emitted a piercing friction sound as it operated at high intensity, pushing the engine temperature close to the redline.

Just then, an encrypted communication from Su Ran popped up on the console screen.

"Old Ye, the situation has changed."

Ye Xiao was breathing heavily, his voice filled with a bloodthirsty fervor.

"Brother Su, get to work! I'm really into the action!"

"A red-haired lion, suspected to be of the fourth rank, was discovered behind the battle line."

Extremely intelligent, it has always stayed in the latter part of the beast tide to avoid battle.

The Great Xia military is about to launch a saturation bombardment against it!

Su Ran spoke extremely quickly, leaving no room for argument.

"You immediately leave the front line and go to the designated coordinates in the rear to intercept them."

We must not let it escape this battlefield alive!

"Fourth tier?"

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up as he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Good stuff. Wait a minute."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiao controlled the Cheng Ying mech, slamming his left arm shield down to shake off the oncoming horde of beasts, then turned and leaped back into the beast-defense wall.

The trenches were littered with exhausted crystal core projectiles.

Zhu Jingye was squatting in the corner, holding a crystal core in his hand, quickly restoring his body's supernatural energy reserves.

"Please help me, Jingye!"

Ye Xiao roared, and the cockpit door of "Cheng Ying" sprang open with a "whoosh".

Without a word, Zhu Jingye lunged forward and pressed his hands firmly against Ye Xiao's shoulders.

Superpower: Damage Transfer! Activate!

Ye Xiao suffered from mental exhaustion, muscle tears, and internal organ tremors due to prolonged high-intensity combat.

In that instant, everything transformed into a visible gray current, rushing wildly into Zhu Jingye's body through his hands!

"Ugh!"

Zhu Jingye's complexion, which had regained some color, instantly turned pale, and his features contorted in pain.

Fortunately, he has now reached the high end of the third tier, so he was not completely drained of his life force by this huge negative state.

He trembled as he pulled a pure, third-order crystal core from his tactical pocket, quickly absorbing its energy to replenish his life force.

Once the energy was replenished, Zhu Jingye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ye...it's all done. Go have some fun, and leave the front line to me!"

Zhu Jingye wiped the cold sweat from his face, panting heavily, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.

He also possesses a mecha, but due to the size of the mecha, he generally doesn't take it into battle unless he's carrying out a special mission.

He gritted his teeth and swore silently.

"Thanks, brother! Half the credit for the kills I got this time is yours!"

Ye Xiao stretched his cracking neck. Apart from the fact that his depleted supernatural energy had not been immediately restored, his physical condition had returned to its peak!

He quickly took out two third-tier crystal cores and absorbed them, replenishing his supernatural power. He then returned to the cockpit.

"boom!"

With its engine fully loaded, the Cheng Ying mech sped along the edge of the battlefield, heading straight for the rear ambush point.

Just then, the clouds in the upper sky tore apart.

Four Mirage fighter jets from the Great Xia military broke through the clouds.

A steady and powerful voice immediately switched into Su Ran's tactical channel.

"Advisor Su, this is the Phantom Squadron. Attack position reached, target area coordinates locked!"

Su Ran stared intently at the red dot on the screen that was moving in the latter part of the beast tide.

"bomb."

"clear."

Click!

Eight specially made heavy-duty geothermal bombs were detached from the fuselage pylons.

They descended one after another towards the target area with a sharp, piercing whistling sound.

The beast horde below remained oblivious and continued their frenzied attack on the defensive line.

Only the red lion suddenly raised its head, its scarlet vertical pupils contracting sharply; it had sensed the approach of death.

It let out a piercing shriek, turned around without hesitation, and pawed at the ground as it ran wildly!

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Eight thermobaric bombs were accurately dropped.

The ground shook violently.

A blinding white light engulfed everything nearby.

A series of fireballs rose into the air.

The high-pressure shock wave spread in a ring, overturning half a meter of the ground.

The tens of thousands of mutated beasts in the central area didn't even have time to scream before they were vaporized.

A giant mushroom cloud slowly rose.

"Shh~"

Ye Xiao, who was lying in ambush at a distance, watched this scene through the mecha's optical screen and couldn't help but whistle.

The Great Xia military industry is utterly devastated! This wave of cleansing will surely leave even a fourth-tier enemy, if not dead, roasted to a crisp!

"Is it resolved?"

Mo Yun also clenched his fists, staring nervously at the sea of ​​fire in the distance.

Su Ran did not answer. His gaze was fixed on the heat source data reported by the life detector. Instead of relaxing, the tension in his heart was even greater.

"Don't be careless. The vitality of fourth-tier beings far exceeds our current understanding!"

Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!

From that churning scorched earth and wall of fire, a colossal creature suddenly burst forth!

A charred, blackened body.

Its once scarlet hair was burned off, half of its body was a bloody mess, revealing its stark white ribs.

The right hind leg was broken and dragged at a twisted angle.

It did not turn around and retaliate in a frenzy; its target was the rear.

Moreover, its speed was still astonishing, leaving a trail of afterimages behind it.

"It's out!" Su Ran's voice instantly rose.
