Xu tide controlled the Platinum Star to leap back onto the roof of the car, staring intently at the giant centipede flying backward, his right arm trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Clearly, Xu tide's confrontation with the giant centipede was not easy either.
Its enormous size and hard shell made her feel nothing like the overwhelming force she used to have.
Watching the giant centipede roll a few times on the ground before raising its imposing body again, Xu tide took a deep breath... It seems that the attack just now did not cause it any harm at all.
"However... all I need to do is stop it," Xu tide muttered to herself. "Zhiyi, the students' safety is in your hands."
"Don't worry, Principal," Hua Zhiyi said, patting her chest. "With my Green Emperor here, no void creature can break through my Emerald Water Splash!"
Xu tide nodded, then watched as the giant centipede raised its body, opened its huge mouth again, and crashed down, its fists clenching tightly.
The Platinum Star, poised to launch, shot straight ahead like a sharp arrow.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
One dull thud after another erupted, the fierce and powerful impact creating an eerie vacuum in the falling raindrops.
Faced with the giant centipede's relentless biting, Platinum Star also gave it a worthy counterattack.
The survivors' eyes trembled, as if they were shocked by the jaw-dropping collision.
Every time they thought they were doomed, Platinum Star's seemingly invincible fist would forcefully push back the shadow that completely enveloped them.
They estimated they would never forget the visual feast brought to them by the most primal and purest collision of forces.
"We're almost at the safe zone! Everyone, hold on!"
Company Commander Li excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.
In his field of vision, he could already see the towering flames of the flamethrowers above the safe zone... and the continuous crackling of bullets leaving the barrel, mixed with the earth-shattering roar of artillery shells that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Faced with the massive onslaught of void creatures, the army in the safe zone also spared no effort in using various large-scale weapons and began to launch a fierce counterattack.
"Calling command! Calling command!" Company Commander Li shouted into the command center, "The rescue team is back! Please release them immediately!"
"Unable to proceed. The safe zone is blocked by a large number of void creatures and cannot be passed at this time... Please hold on for as long as possible and wait for rescue!"
Hope was within reach, but the reply on the walkie-talkie plunged Company Commander Li into an icy abyss.
"how so?"
Company Commander Li raised his head somewhat blankly, only to see the location of the safe zone not far in front of him.
An endless array of void creatures had completely surrounded this place, leaving no room for escape.
Behind them, hordes of void creatures were already close at hand!
...
Chapter 270 A Moment of Life and Death, Charge!
Ye Xinglu looked at the defensive city wall that was already taking shape not far away, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected the military region to act so quickly, having already built and perfected defensive fortifications to resist the threat posed by the void creatures.
This speed far surpasses that of the previous life.
Moreover, in terms of the number of survivors, there were significantly more survivors than in the previous life.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not entirely unexpected. After all, Ye Xingluo's rebirth has indeed changed many things. Leaving aside the princess and Nantong University for the moment, the evil cult that forced the survivors of Nantong City to evacuate to another city in the previous life has now been severely weakened, saving the military region a lot of time and energy.
The city wall now standing in front of Nightfall appears to be about ten meters high, and it must be the work of those Star-Cherishers who can manipulate earth, rocks, and gravel.
After all, such a large project cannot be completed by ordinary people alone.
However, while having city walls is a good thing, that's about it.
From the time the military region planned to establish the safety zone to the time the rescue operation was launched, there was very little time. Even though they were far apart, Ye Xingluo could see the haste and fragility of the temporary high wall.
To put it bluntly, in his eyes it was a shoddy construction project that couldn't withstand even a few rounds of attacks from the void creatures; at best, it was just a psychological comfort to the survivors inside.
Indeed, just as Ye Xinglu had observed, the seemingly imposing city walls were already showing signs of crumbling under the relentless attack of the insect swarm that had completely surrounded them.
Faced with the overwhelming swarm of insects, the high wall in front of them was really no match for them. The void creatures had undergone a qualitative change and were completely different from when the apocalypse had just begun.
It's like a giant centipede that keeps clashing with Xu tide; a city wall that's over ten meters high would probably look like a dwarf in front of it.
"Oh? It seems the people inside are also overwhelmed?"
Listening to the information that the silly girl had overheard from Company Commander Li, Ye Xinglu murmured softly.
These people alone have already attracted countless void creatures, not to mention the so-called safe zone with even more people. The survivor base in front of them is clearly more favored by the void creatures.
At this moment, as the rescue team's convoy drew ever closer, the swarm of insects that had been blocking the city walls seemed to sense something and turned around, their bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the humans inside the vehicle.
"It's over, it's over..."
Company Commander Li, pale-faced, slumped in his chair, staring at the densely packed, writhing void creatures approaching from the front, feeling utterly hopeless.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, they were in dire straits.
However, being surrounded was not the most fatal thing. At the rear of the convoy, Platinum Star once again struggled with the giant centipede.
The giant centipede seemed extremely annoyed by its inability to kill the humans before it. Instead of continuing its futile physical struggle, it opened its massive mouth and, after a few seconds of preparation, unleashed a torrent of venom that covered the entire convoy.
This was clearly a catastrophe for the survivors.
Even Xu tide's Platinum Star couldn't intercept all the venom in mid-air.
They stared palely at the dark green pus in the air. The survivors could never have imagined that the safe zone would suddenly turn into a death trap.
"Shubi!"
As Night Star gave the order, Shubi nodded slightly, then flew into the air without hesitation. Her mechanical body began to assemble again, and orange-red flames suddenly burst forth from the deep muzzle of the cannon.
"Chichi!"
A piercing sound echoed through the air, and the venom, cascading down like a waterfall, evaporated into nothingness under the scorching flames.
But the crisis was not over. As the venom evaporated, it turned into a thin green mist that slowly drifted down from above when the flames died down. It was estimated that inhaling even a single breath of this mist would be fatal.
"Wind, heed my command!"
Just then, a sharp, piercing shout rang out.
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose without warning, transforming into a small tornado that blew away all the green, highly toxic mist.
A small cyclone carried Ye Tianjiao, making her float in mid-air; the force of the gale was clearly her doing.
"Now that Shubi has gone over there, I'll have to deal with the guy up ahead myself."
Ye Xinglu spoke softly, her lips parting slightly, and the True Spirit Pearl, radiating a faint blue halo, quietly floated out, then swelled in the wind.
"I've absorbed quite a bit of girls' essence lately," Ye Xingluo said slowly, looking at the ever-growing True Spirit Pearl. "Perfect... I'll use you guys to test its power!"
Ye Xinglu looked at the True Spirit Orb, which was now almost as big as the Phantom, smiled slightly as she stared at the swarm of insects crawling forward, and then quite lightly tossed the orb out of her hand.
Death comes silently.
The swarm of insects that rushed forward didn't even have time to scream before their life force was drained by Night Starfall's True Spirit Orb, turning them into dried-up corpses on the ground. The road that had been blocked in front of the Phantom instantly became wide.
The True Spirit Orb only stopped slowly when it reached the bottom of the city wall, and then returned as if it were sentient, harvesting another wave of void creatures that had stepped into that death branch. After shrinking, it returned to Night Starfall's palm.
"What a waste of so much life essence."
Ye Xinglu sighed with some regret.
The life essence drawn from the swarm of insects must not be absorbed by the True Spirit Orb, otherwise it would be troublesome if it were contaminated by that evil and filthy aura.
"Hmm? It seems there's still a chance?" Li, whose emotions had been fluctuating wildly during the escape, looked at the suddenly cleared road ahead. Exhausted, he shouted with his last strength, "Charge! Charge! Charge! Hope is just around the corner!"
"Senior Qingying, I'll leave the lead to you."
Ye Xingluo looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer to him and spoke slowly.
The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't deliberately head towards the city gate, but instead rushed towards the wall next to him.
Although he felt bad about making a hole in the city wall that others had worked so hard to build, he didn't have time to open up another route.
"It shouldn't be too thick, Senior Qingying, just take it easy."
Ye Xinglu looked at the crumbling city wall in front of her and was speechless. She then gave Luo Qingying a word of advice.
If Luo Qingying uses too much force, it would be bad if she knocks the wall down.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, Luo Qingying's giant fist cleaved a large hole in the city wall, just big enough for the Phantom to pass through.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Following closely behind the Phantom, the military region's rescue team also successfully crossed the barrier and safely arrived at the safe zone.
...
Chapter 271 The Void Mother Nest
"What...what are you doing?!"
Just as the rescue team had all entered the safe zone, a voice filled with intense anger rang out from behind them.
A burly, imposing man was staring at the huge hole they had created, gritting his teeth in anger.
Ye Xinglu turned around and saw several figures standing behind the earthen wall. She instantly realized what was happening.
He wondered how the hastily constructed city wall could last so long; it turned out that some Star-Benefactors were maintaining its stability behind the scenes.
"Never mind them for now, the void creatures are coming in."
The sudden appearance of the large hole created an opening in the city wall, and the void creatures, sensing it, instinctively rushed towards the opening.
A yellowish-brown halo immediately spread from the hands of the Star-Cherishers guarding the city wall, and the large hole that had been smashed open was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, in Ye Xingluo's opinion, such behavior was rather useless. Although the city wall could resist the invasion of many insects, it was simply no match for a truly powerful creature.
For example, there was a giant centipede that was several kilometers long following Ye Xingluo and his companions.
"What...what is that?"
