Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 128 The Siege of Mutants

After listening to the report, Fang Zheng remained silent for a moment.

"It seems we can only rely on ourselves."

He glanced at his watch: "Wait another ten minutes. If we still can't get in touch, we'll find a way to get into the city ourselves, find a safe place to stay, and then we'll discuss things further."

Just then, Wang Hu, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly perked up his ears.

An extremely strong sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of my heart without warning.

The feeling was like being watched by a top predator lurking in the shadows, making the hair on his body stand on end instantly.

Danger!

"roar!"

Wang Hu suddenly stood up and let out a low roar.

He turned his head, his golden vertical pupils fixed on the northwest direction.

The source of the danger is over there!

"What's wrong, Tiger?" Wang Ye was startled by his sudden reaction.

Fang Zheng immediately became alert and followed Wang Hu's gaze.

But it looked perfectly normal over there, with nothing unusual about it.

But just then, a dense burst of firelight suddenly appeared over there.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp, chilling whistling sound came from afar and instantly filled everyone's ears.

"It's artillery fire! Take cover!"

Li Qingyi's warning sounded almost simultaneously with the whistling sound.

Without her prompting, the moment everyone heard the cannon fire, Fang Zheng's team had already reacted as quickly as possible.

Li Shi roared and slammed his hands on the ground again.

"rise!"

The earthen wall above them instantly closed in, forming a thick dome that tightly protected everyone underneath.

Almost the very next second after the dome closed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly erupted around them.

The earth trembled violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

Countless shrapnel and gravel rained down on the earthen dome, creating a series of deafening, rapid impacts.

The whole world seemed to consist only of the roar of explosions and the wailing of the earth beneath our feet.

Even lying beneath the earthen wall, Wang Hu could feel the continuous, seemingly endless, terrifying shockwaves. It was like a never-ending barrage of artillery fire!

Moreover, their target was extremely clear: their current location!

These are definitely not stray bullets; someone is deliberately hunting them down!

Holy crap!

Wang Ye roared into the communication channel, "These sons of bitches, are they trying to blow us to smithereens?!"

The shelling lasted for almost a full minute.

After the shaking finally subsided, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

"Is everyone alright?" Fang Zheng's voice rang out.

"It's alright, Captain."

"My powered mech has psionic replenishment potions, so I can withstand this level of bombardment for an hour."

Li Shi chuckled as he spoke.

His powered mech's primary ability is its endurance; it contains a vast amount of psionic potions for his use, making him least afraid of prolonged battles and artillery fire.

Li Shi removed the earthen wall above his head.

The sight outside made everyone gasp in shock.

The helipad where they were originally located had been completely transformed into a huge circular crater.

The charred asphalt road surface was churning and still emitting wisps of smoke.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and the acrid odor of burning metal.

If it weren't for Wang Hu's advance warning and Li Shi's swift defense, that saturation bombardment would have left their squad covered in dust and dirt.

Of course, it's impossible to annihilate them by relying on such long-range artillery.

With their powered armor and each of them being a superhuman, it would be impossible to destroy them without paying a price.

"Damn it, these bastards!"

Looking at the carnage around him, Wang Ye's eyes reddened: "It must have been those 'fake men' who did it! Our whereabouts have been exposed!"

Fang Zheng's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

"Purple Robe, contact the back home immediately! Report our situation! We've been ambushed, and our designated contact person has likely betrayed us or been killed!"

"yes!"

Li Ziyi immediately began operating her special encrypted communication device.

Wang Hu, on the other hand, turned his gaze once again toward the direction from which the artillery fire had come from.

His sense of danger told him that the threat there had not yet been eliminated.

"Tiger Brother?"

"But what other discoveries have been made?"

Seeing Wang Hu's wary look, Wang Ye immediately drew out a specially made Tang sword that was twice as long as a regular Tang sword, and squinted his eyes in vigilance.

"There are a large number of mutants, including fake human mutants carrying firearms. They are gathering here from all directions."

At that moment, Li Ziyi suddenly spoke.

He saw countless windows and doors within a radius of several kilometers being violently broken open from the inside, and countless mutants and fake humans wielding various firearms pouring out from various bunkers and houses, surrounding them.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Fang Zheng immediately gave the order, his voice calm and decisive.

"roar--!"

Soon, accompanied by a series of inhuman roars, countless dark shadows swarmed in from all directions.

Those were humanoid creatures with extremely distorted shapes.

Their bodies appear to have been forcibly elongated, with disproportionately thin limbs and skin that is a sickly grayish-white color, covered with black vascular patterns.

They have no facial features, only a round mouth that opens and closes constantly, filled with sharp teeth.

A special new variant.

Based on China's current research on mutants from other worlds, this type of mutant must be speed-type.

Sure enough, as soon as these mutants appeared, they began to run like wild beasts, using all four limbs to run across the bumpy ground, their movements like cheetahs, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Fire!"

At Fang Zheng's command, he was the first to pull the trigger.

"boom!"

He fired a laser cannon shot directly, accurately hitting one of the mutants charging at the front.

Moreover, after passing through the first mutant, the laser cannon continued to pierce through five or six more mutants behind him before exploding with a loud bang.

But those mutants whose chests were pierced by laser cannons only swayed slightly, their running speed did not slow down at all, and they continued to rush towards this side madly.

However, at the spot where the laser cannon exploded, four or five mutants were blown to pieces.

"Holy crap! Don't these guys have any vital points?" Wang Ye couldn't help but curse because he hadn't been dealing with mutants before.

Fang Zheng was also slightly taken aback, and immediately switched the laser cannon to rapid-fire mode.

"boom!"

A thick, crimson beam of light shot out, instantly piercing through dozens of mutants and leaving a deep scorch mark on the ground behind them.

The mutants grazed by the laser didn't even have time to scream before being sliced ​​in half by the laser beam, while those directly hit by the laser were instantly vaporized.

At the same time, Li Shi also began to activate his superpower, and sharp earth spikes broke out of the ground, forming simple defensive lines to block the charge of the mutant horde.
