After Kirika made a strike signal to the operators, she led the charge out of the corner. When the powerful flashlight illuminated the entire passage, Kirika felt her blood freeze.

An operator lay stiffly on the ground. On his corpse, a monster with black exoskeleton skin and four arms was ripping out the operator's internal organs and stuffing them into its mouth. Sharp teeth were constantly chewing on the nutritious organs, and a long, thin tongue was sweeping bits of flesh from the corners of his mouth into his mouth.

When the monster noticed the uninvited guests, it looked up at them, its yellow glowing eyes filled with cruelty.

Chapter 137 Beast Tide

In the night sky, a state-of-the-art private civilian airship of the Republic of Calva slowly flew towards Krobel.

Normally, airships are prohibited from taking off at night, but this airship belongs to a very important person and is therefore not required to follow any rules. Moreover, there is no flight control in the space of Mingrui Star, so airships can take off at will.

"My lord in grey robes... the airship will arrive in Krobel City at 10:00 AM tomorrow. All records have been completed, so there is no need to worry."

"Um..."

The old man in the gray robe flipped through the book in his hands, saying without looking up, "Is that ready...?"

"Yes, sir. Five hundred years ago, 'that thing' was brought out from the edge of the Abyss Sea has been unsealed. As soon as anyone enters headquarters, they will swarm towards the scent of humans, along with the monsters born from the pure souls of children..."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed elder's expression softened. The one that had been retrieved from the Abyss Sea had taken the Order a great deal of effort, but it had been sealed away because it was too dangerous. However, they were currently unable to move it away, so they could only release it to cause trouble for Smith's machine in the Republic of Calva.

"Very interesting, it's a pity I can't observe that thing myself..."

They hadn't encountered them on the outskirts of the Abyss Sea 500 years ago, but 500 years later, the Shangqiu people were so powerful that they left a deep impression on the D∴G Cult. The gray-robed elder couldn't help but look forward to making contact with those Shangqiu people.

--------------------------------------

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

The Shangqiu-made LED flashlight that fell to the ground did not malfunction due to the impact. However, because the chip was stained with blood, the originally white light turned into an eerie dark red, as if the gaze of an unknown world was staring at her through the vertical pupil symbol of the cult on the corridor wall.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew by, causing the candles in the corridor to flicker, and more candles to go out...

Whoosh! The farthest candle went out, plunging the corridor into darkness. As a cold wind blew, more candlelight flickered, and an eerie feeling filled Wuxiang's heart, as if unseen hands were extinguishing the candles one by one...

However, Kirika didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was happening in the distance, because the threat was right in front of her!

The four-armed monster lowered its body slightly, its reverse joints tensing. Kirika immediately realized that the monster was about to attack her, gripped her weapon tightly, and stared warily at the four-armed monster.

The monster's two arms on its chest had scythe-like tips with sharp blades that reflected a metallic sheen, seemingly some kind of biological structure. The other pair of arms resembled human arms, except that the fingers had been transformed into sharp razors, covered with sticky blood and bits of flesh.

The slender tongue danced in the air like a nimble snake...

Just as the monster was about to pounce on Kirika, the operators finally rounded the corner.

"Fire!"

While protecting Kirika, the operator raised her orbal gun and fired at the four-armed monster.

Upon seeing Wuxiang's teammates rushing towards them, the four-armed monster darted into the darkness behind her without hesitation.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ The orbal projectiles struck the four-armed monster, piercing its exoskeleton. Without any censorship, oil-colored blood splattered onto the ground, and an indescribable stench filled the air.

Suddenly, all the operators felt their vision blur and their heads spin!

"Quickly! Get out of here!"

Kirika covered her nose and gave an order to the operative beside her.

After everyone left the corner of the passage, they felt their dizzy minds clear up considerably.

"director..."

Just as the operators were about to say something, Kirika stopped them with a gesture. Judging from the behavior of the four-armed monster, it was clear that it possessed a certain level of intelligence. Fighting against intelligent monsters is always the most dangerous thing.

We don't know how many monsters are here yet, and it's too dangerous to stay any longer!

"Meet up with Sam and Aya immediately, then leave this place!"

In this situation, gathering the operators together is the best option.

"Yes, sir!"

"Before that, bring the body back."

After the operators were ready, the operators wielding melee weapons were in front, and the ranged operators wielding orbal guns were behind, forming a combat formation and advancing towards the corridor they had just passed.

Even though Kirika was somewhat prepared, when she went around the corner again, the operator's body had vanished...

"director..."

Kirika glanced at the blood sacrifice left by the operators on the ground and said with a hint of anger, "Take a break... and leave immediately!"

"understand!"

However, it was clear that the monsters in the darkness, or rather, the monsters themselves, did not intend to let their "food" leave so easily...

A rustling sound came from the depths of the corridor, where yellow fluorescent lights lit up one after another. Then, four-armed monsters with hisses poured out from the end of the passage and pounced on the operators.

Instantly, Wuxiang's face turned ashen.

In the darkness, the four-armed monster seemed like a nightmare emerging from the shadows, its reverse-jointed hind limbs providing it with unparalleled explosive power.

The four-armed monster leaped high into the air, its scythe-like claws slashing viciously towards the operator's chest...

*Thud thud thud...* The orbal gun immediately opened fire at full power, shooting down the four-armed monster that had leaped into the air. The corpse crashed heavily to the ground, and a stench emanated from it, making everyone dizzy.

"withdraw!"

Kirika's weapon slid across the neck of a four-armed monster, its grotesque head falling to the ground with a gurgle, oil-colored blood spurting from the gash in its neck...

Melee operators wielded their weapons to block the monster's attacks.

Fortunately, although the monster looked powerful, it wasn't very strong in combat, and they could barely hold it off.

"Cover each other and retreat!"

"understand!"

Despite their physical discomfort, the agents retreated towards the passage they had come from. This kind of battle was beyond the capabilities of intelligence personnel specializing in infiltration and reconnaissance!

The professional army of the Republic of Kalva is needed to wipe out these monsters!

Meanwhile, less than fifty meters from Wuxiang in the passage, Aya's team also encountered trouble. They came across a monster that looked like an octopus, but the octopus's head was occupied by a child with a pained expression and empty eyes.

The soft monster kept waving its huge tentacles, lashing at her like whips. She dodged the attacks with her rich melee experience, while constantly slicing the octopus monster's body with her knight's sword.

The cuts felt like they were made on hard rubber, leaving only small wounds. The teammates' magical energy was also unable to penetrate the octopus monster's body, causing them to become anxious.

Chapter 138 Outpost Two (30/54) (Please refresh)

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, the Order's Number One Outpost has been destroyed!"

The commander-in-chief nodded and turned to look at the cult's second stronghold.

Outpost Two was a production factory of the Order, with even tighter security and more sophisticated weaponry for the hunters. When the mechanical insects flew in, the team members sensed something was wrong, and indeed, it turned out to be true.

The command center originally planned to destroy the stronghold, but they soon discovered through mechanical insects that there were kidnapped children deep inside the second stronghold.

After a thorough exchange of opinions between the General Staff and the Intelligence Department, it was determined that the children were "bait" deliberately left behind by the cult to prevent Shangqiu from directly destroying the stronghold.

Rescuing the children will not be easy... After repeated discussions, the commander-in-chief decided to try to rescue them, after all, they are like unripe fruits, and the children have a bright future ahead of them.

With the order issued, the special forces launched an infiltration operation. However, the battle exceeded the expectations of the Shangqiu Comprehensive Command. The battle became intense from the start and turned from a war of annihilation into a war of attrition!

The two sides' combatants were intertwined, rendering many heavy weapons unusable. The cult members seemed to have known they were coming and were well-prepared. There were many bunkers, and if it weren't for the universal combat suits they were wearing, there would probably have been casualties.

In the underground factory area, they encountered a highly threatening bipedal anti-infantry mech from the cult. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Empire's mechs, making it clear that it was "aid" from the Rebonian Empire.

These bipedal mechs have a large defensive shield on their right hand, a magic cannon on their shoulder, and a huge melee weapon in their left hand.

boom!

In the cult's workshop, the orbment cannon mounted on the mech hit the cover in front of the soldier, blasting a large crater. The soldier, wearing a general combat suit, quickly slid to another cover.

Da da da!

The special forces soldier peeked out from behind cover, his QBZ191 assault rifle firing rhythmically at the orbment-equipped mech... The clanging sounds rang out as the mech's thick armor blocked the bullets, but his attack attracted the enemy's attention.

The bipedal mech slowly turned its head, and the orbment cannon on its shoulder aimed at the cover where the soldier was. Just then, the soldier behind another cover suddenly stood up, and the 80mm cannon on his shoulder aimed at the bipedal walking mech.

call out!

A rocket with a tandem warhead hit the bipedal walking mech. After tearing through the armor, the scorching metal jet pierced the cockpit, killing the cult's pilot.

After firing the rocket launcher, the soldier threw it away without hesitation and immediately retreated from the bunker. Less than a second later, the bunker was hit by the missile cannon.

"Headquarters! Headquarters! We need reinforcements! Repeat, we need reinforcements!"

"Headquarters understands! Support will be on its way immediately!"

In the sky, the rear door of a Y-20 transport plane opened, and folded Type 59-X helicopters were airdropped down, along with Mountain Cat assault vehicles.

The umbrella suddenly opened and plummeted towards the power factory.

Under the gravitational pull of Mingrui Star, 59-X rapidly plummeted towards the ground. Upon approaching the ground, a single-use recoil rocket was activated, and the thrust propelled the mech to a stop in mid-air.

System startup...

A pleasant female voice rang out on the AWACS aircraft, the 59-X was deactivated from standby mode, and its folded robotic arm unfolded.

The 59-X crashed heavily to the ground. The unmanned combat weapon quickly connected to the battlefield data link and received combat orders from the integrated command. Immediately, its four robotic arms moved in rapid succession towards the direction of the cult's factory, with the Mountain Cat assault vehicle following closely behind.

The ceiling of the Orbal Factory had been blasted open by high-energy explosives. The Mountain Cat Assault Vehicle rushed into the Orbal Factory through the large hole in the ceiling. Under the processing of the CPU made of fractal silicon, it quickly identified the enemy and friendly forces on the battlefield through IFF signals and body characteristics.

[IFF recognition...]

[Firing authorization confirmed...]

[Weapon insurance cancelled...]

[Battlefield support drone "Mountain Cat" joins the battle...]

With a click, the 23mm short-barreled assault cannon mounted on the Mountain Cat assault vehicle disengaged and opened fire on the oncoming bipedal orbment mech.

Boom boom boom! The 23mm assault gun roared, ejecting spent shell casings one after another.

23mm shells are not the same as the 191mm rifle rounds used by special forces.

The moment a 23mm assault cannon shot hit the bipedal walking mech, it pierced a hole in the armor, and the shrapnel pierced through the armor, turning the pilot inside the cockpit into a mangled mess.

Clang! The orbal mech, its pilot killed, crashed to the ground, blood flowing from the bullet holes.

After eliminating the high-threat targets, the coaxial 5.8mm machine gun opened fire to suppress the Order hunters behind the cover.
