Chapter 435: The Leader's Son
The Masked Man...
Is it him?
The moment everyone saw the man in black robe outside the window, this code name suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
This code name has often appeared in their ears recently. Its fame has far surpassed the former "Iron Fist Golden Wolf" and even the original founders of the Zero Point Tavern. It is an absolute legendary creature.
Little Peter closed his eyes and did not see what happened just now.
But the rest of the people saw it.
When the insect roared and pounced forward, several rapidly rotating metal pieces flashed by, like several faint lights, and instantly cut the insect into several pieces.
Who else could have such a strange ability except the masked man?
"What are you all standing there for?" Su Xia glanced at the others calmly. "A new round of insect attacks is coming. Why don't you pick up your weapons? Do you all want to die here?"
His voice was transmitted through the translator, with a strange tongue-twisting sound, which even Su Xia himself found odd. Fortunately, his voice line and timbre did not change.
After saying this, he was moved and waved his hand gently.
In the building, the guns mounted on every window suddenly opened fire without any human control, spewing deadly flames and releasing countless scorching bullets.
“Da da da da da…”
The hot bullet casings fell to the ground, shining with the luster of brass and making tinkling sounds, like a death mourning song.
During this time, the bullets in the ammunition boxes next to each window began to float up slowly and change magazines automatically, as if an invisible ghost hand was controlling the bullets and guns.
The rain of bullets that covered the sky and the earth instantly poured down on the insects, sweeping all sides of the building and causing countless casualties.
The accuracy of this round of shooting was quite high, even higher than the previous time when there was human control. More than half of the bullets hit the insects' heads, and the killing efficiency was more than three times that of before.
In just a few minutes, the dead insects outside the building were scattered all over the ground, blood was flowing everywhere, and the smell was pungent.
“Squeak—squeak—”
Hoarse dying howls sounded one after another. Even the insects were caught off guard by this round of attack. The insects still on the periphery were stunned for more than ten seconds. They obviously did not expect that the human race could organize such an effective attack.
This scene turned into a deep shock in the eyes of everyone in the building.
There are also psychic creatures among them, who are stronger than ordinary people, but their strength is limited.
Just now, the power displayed by Su Xia was almost beyond the scope of "human". He killed nearly two hundred insects in a few minutes, just by gently waving his hand...
This power shocked their hearts and widened their eyes, as if they had witnessed a miracle.
"So many bugs...are they all dead?"
You know, they had resisted for such a long time, but only killed two or three hundred insects.
The smell of blood wafted into the building on the wind, so strong that it was sickening.
"As expected of the legendary masked man."
"It must be him."
"I heard that the mechanical tribe has been hunting him for more than half a month, consuming a lot of energy and awakening all the mechanical warriors in each branch base, just for him... Everyone thought he was hiding at sea, but he actually came to us..."
There was no more doubt in everyone's mind, and they were completely sure of Su Xia's identity.
There were expressions of joy and excitement on their faces. After all, Su Xia's arrival meant that they would definitely be saved.
This legend is a ruthless man who can even break out of the encirclement of the mechanical clan. What are these bugs to him?
"It's him, it must be him, he can definitely kill those bugs..."
According to legend, the masked man has killed people like crazy. He is an evil ghost that crawled out of hell. He signed a murder contract with the god of death. He cannot die . Every time he dies, he will be resurrected and return to the world with bloodthirsty killings, setting off the next round of bloodshed.
In this chaotic post-war era, people's belief in various gods reached its peak, including the so-called "God of Death", "Evil God" and so on.
Therefore, many people firmly believe in the legend of the masked monster, regard him as the messenger of death, and have a deep fear of the four words "masked monster".
but……
Everyone in the building knew that many of those false, bad, and negative reputations were deliberately spread by the mechanical race.
The real masked monster has killed many people, but they were all evil people and he would never kill intentionally.
He should have been the embodiment of hope and justice, not the representative of death and killing.
Among the crowd, a sturdy bearded man expressed gratitude to Su Xia: "Xiongcheng, 19th External Contact Point, 7th Team, Captain Sergei, thank this friend for his help."
Bearded Sergei, as strong as a grizzly bear, is the leader of the 28 people in the building and also a third-level psychic creature.
While he was introducing himself, an introduction about this bearded man popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes.
【Name: Sergey Aleshkov】
[Race: Human]
[Faction: Resistance Organization (Bear City)]
[Psychic Level: Level 3.1]
【……】
[Character description: Born in Birch City, grew up in war, a warrior who has experienced blood and death... Currently the captain of the Dragon City External Liaison Point]
From the description, it can be seen that the bearded man was not lying.
As long as they are not from the surrender camp, Su Xia has reason to help, because he knows that these people will not sell out his information.
From a big picture perspective, these people can be seen as being in the same camp as him, and they may fight side by side in the future.
"Mask." Su Xia looked at them and didn't say his real name. He just said this code name, which was considered as an introduction to himself.
"It's you, the masked man, my friend. Everyone knows how powerful you are. Thank you for your help." Sergei said excitedly.
"You're welcome. We're all in the same boat." Su Xia said calmly.
"Friend, are those mechanical creatures still bothering you?" Sergei asked.
"It's not a big deal for now. Let's solve the bug problem here first." Su Xia flashed like a ghost and went into the building. He landed on the dusty concrete floor with his feet firmly on the ground.
Now is not the time to talk. Outside the building, the bugs launched a new round of attacks.
Hoarse roars rang out in various areas of the city, getting closer and closer. The same roars were also heard in the jungle outside the city, as if echoing each other.
Looking around, every direction was occupied by bloodthirsty insects.
The low-level Zerg that appeared included swift worms, skeleton worms, scavengers, fission worms, corpse worms, etc. There were large numbers of them. They were either lying on the concrete roofs of the other three or four-story buildings, relying on their strong and powerful limbs to jump between the roofs, or they were raiding along the dilapidated streets and were beginning to become dense.
Pairs of greedy, bloodthirsty, twisted and crazy eyes were projected from the insects' narrow eyes and focused on the buildings in the city center.
The number of insects that launched the attack in this wave exceeded six hundred.
"so much……"
"Their numbers have increased again!" Everyone gasped when they saw the cruel scene outside the window.
Insects are social creatures. There are tens of thousands of them in each insect nest. They are impossible to kill all. After killing one wave, there will be another wave.
If Su Xia had not come, these people in the building would definitely not be able to stop them. They could only retreat to the underground air-raid shelter through the basement, use the complex structure of the air-raid shelter to delay, and make a final desperate struggle.
"Masked friend, what should we do?" Bearded Sergei looked at Suxia, expressed his complete trust in Suxia, and handed over the command on the spot.
"Just do the same as before, just guard your respective areas." Su Xia ordered calmly.
"Is there anything we can provide?"
"Um……"
Su Xia thought for a moment, pinched his chin, and then said, "Guns, lots of guns."
"good!"
Everyone responded in unison without any doubt and did as Su Xia said.
Although there were many insects, far more than in previous times, they believed that Su Xia had the ability to make those insects feel the beauty of death.
Bearded Sergei led several strong team members to open the army green wooden weapons boxes and ammunition boxes in the building one by one and moved them in front of Suxia.
The others returned to their windows and pointed their guns at the attacking bugs.
Soon, gunshots rang out, smoke filled the air, bullet casings fell to the ground, and another game of offense and defense began.
Judging from their current firepower, the building will be lost in ten minutes at most.
More and more opened weapon and ammunition boxes were piled in front of Su Xia, but he hadn't taken any action yet. He was thinking...
"Where would the insect nest be?" Su Xia's eyes flickered. He had already sent small nanorobots out to search for it. He would not defend here foolishly. He could take the initiative to attack, which was an ability that no one else in the building possessed.
Right now, he just needs to hold off a few waves of bugs and buy himself some time.
Thinking of this, Su Xia's eyes turned and his gaze fell on the large number of weapons and ammunition boxes placed in front of him.
"rise!"
His mind moved, as if he was the master of these guns and ammunition.
In an instant, all the weapons in dozens of boxes moved, as if they had life, banging against each other in the wooden boxes, and then slowly floated up.
Under Su Xia's careful control, hundreds of guns and weapons flew to the windows of every floor of the building. From the first floor to the top floor, there were dozens of guns on each floor.
Although these guns have a history of several decades and some are not properly maintained, and are prone to risks such as jamming and bursting, as long as there are enough of them, they are enough to crush all risks.
Also floating over were a large number of bullets of corresponding caliber.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the building couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, their eyes burning, as if they had witnessed a miracle again.
The next moment, Su Xia waved his hand and opened fire at full force!
“Da da da da da…”
In an instant, hundreds of firing ports burst out with unimaginable power. The smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was choking. The intensive sound of firing was shocking. The entire building seemed to have turned into a hedgehog of reinforced concrete at this moment, and no insects could get close at all.
The dense swarms of insects outside that tried to approach the building fell down wave after wave, like autumn wheat being cut by the scythe of the god of death. Blood splattered everywhere , death was everywhere, and the insects died one after another. The whole world was filled with only the sound of gunfire and painful howls.
Everyone in the building looked at each other in shock, it seemed like they were of no use anymore.
As long as they have Su Xia and enough bullets, they can hold out until the end of time, until all the insects nearby are completely killed.
"Too powerful, that's his power."
"If I had such power, I would dare to challenge the mechanical race head-on!"
They were amazed and felt envy, desire and awe for Su Xia's power. After all, that was the power that everyone wanted to possess.
In this era, psychic resources are firmly controlled by the mechanical race. It is already very difficult for them to become psychic creatures, and their awakening abilities depend only on luck.
A few minutes later, this wave of attacking bugs was gone, all killed in the deadly barrage, and not a single one survived.
Insect carcasses began to pile up on the streets.
Further away, a new wave of Zergs is gathering, but there are still only low-level Zergs, and no intermediate-level Zergs have appeared yet.
Seeing this scene, Su Xia was thoughtful: "Logically speaking, after so much time, there should be intermediate or even advanced troops appearing, but there are none yet. Could it be just a newborn insect nest?"
At this moment, a few kilometers away, a group of nanorobots responsible for detection sent him news.
Found it!
The location of the insect nest is quite close to this abandoned city.
“Here…”
It was a narrow crack, hidden under thick snow, leaves and humus, and difficult to find without careful observation.
In the images sent back by the small robot, a large number of low-level Zerg soldiers were crawling out of the crack. Faintly, countless crazy roars could be heard coming from the depths of the crack. There must be more bugs inside.
From the insect nest to this deserted little city, there are at least several thousand insects in the jungle of several kilometers in between. They are all rushing towards the location of the abandoned city, and their powerful limbs leave rows of claw marks on the snow.
"There are so many bugs, it's impossible to kill them all. It's a pity that my ugly clone is not here, otherwise I could have directly taken over this insect nest..."
Su Xia withdrew his gaze and thought for a moment.
With his ability, it should be no problem for him to rush directly into the insect nest, eliminate the queen insect and the leader creature, and then kill most of the insects.
But he was powerless after all and could not stop the remaining insects from escaping.
In this kind of racial war, the power of an individual is indeed limited.
"Everyone, I found the insect nest." Su Xia suddenly said to the others, "It is definitely not a solution to keep defending here. Now we have two choices. Either I take you away directly, which is the safest. Of course... I can also take you to destroy the insect nest and then leave."
"Destroy the insect nest?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other. With so few people like them, they would not even dare to think about this question before.
Twenty-eight people couldn't even get out of the building, let alone destroy the insect nest.
"Okay, let's go destroy the insect nest!" The young man named Peter was the first to respond. He looked excited and waved his clenched fist, looking like he was going to do something big.
Su Xia's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at the thin young man. Immediately, a few lines of character introduction popped up in front of her.
[Name: Peter Kozlov]
[Race: Human]
[Faction: Resistance Organization (Bear City)]
[Psychic Level: Level 1.1]
【……】
[Character introduction: The son of the Lord of Xiongcheng, a brave and kind young man]
Seeing this introduction, Su Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at the thin young man carefully.
This little guy is actually the city lord’s son?
Why do you look so malnourished?
Su Xia thought of her own identity, smiled at little Peter, and said with a gentle smile: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Little Peter said seriously, with freckles on his face. "After defeating this hive, I want to bring back the body of the leader of the hive and show it to little Maria. She will definitely feel my strength and courage."
"Leader creatures are very large, weighing at least several tons. How do you plan to take them back?" Su Xia asked him with a smile.
"this……"
Little Peter was stunned, scratched his hair, and was suddenly deflated. With his small stature, he could not drag the monster weighing several tons.
Seeing his look, Su Xia went up to him, patted his head with a smile, and said, "Complete your goal in stages, don't think too far ahead, and take one step at a time... Let's go, kill him first!"
