Phi-Fic Chapter 306, First Line of Defense, Broken
Chapter 306, First Line of Defense, Broken
"Pfft—" The air wall shook violently, and the superpowered person spat out a mouthful of blood. Another superpowered person behind him immediately supported him.
"Hang in there a little longer!"
The Moon-Treading Pigs surrounded the stone golem to continue holding it back, while at the same time, two black panthers with a dark purple sheen leaped off the first line of defense and charged forward.
These two strange leopards were twice the size of ordinary leopards and incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they pounced on the stone man.
The stone figure was pulled back two steps by them.
The leopard's claws tore the stone man's body apart, and the two began to fight. For a moment, the leopard's roars and the stone man's sonic waves mingled, and the front line was in chaos.
As the large number of mutants climbed higher and higher, the transparent air wall became so thick that not a single gap could be seen. From a distance, the opposite side looked like a tall, dark wall, pressing down heavily on everyone's hearts.
The most extreme mutant eventually crossed the twenty-meter ice wall and jumped down from it.
"Lord, the western defense line has been breached!" the scout reported.
The gates of Moon City face south, and the Black Tide also comes from the south. They have concentrated their forces on this side, making the western defense line the weakest point in the entire defensive line.
Several mutants have broken through the western defenses and are now heading towards the city wall.
"Have them block the way on the west side!" Hu Hai ordered.
Soldiers who had been waiting for orders went to the battlefield and had their first direct confrontation with the mutants in the west.
But bad news soon followed.
Given Yan Shuzhou's abilities, he is fully capable of competing with the stone man.
But he had no way to win against the Black Tide.
The summoned creatures were not facing a single stone golem, but countless mutants.
The Moon-Treading Pig was bitten, the Netherworld Leopard was thrown to the ground, and it was also hit by a sonic wave.
Having temporarily broken free from the imprisoned stone figure, he slammed another punch into the invisible wall.
This time, the invisible wall was completely smashed.
The monsters, which had climbed dozens of meters high, slid down like a flowing river. They swung their heads and tongues, using all four limbs to charge towards the defensive line, like an overwhelming force.
"First line of defense retreat!" a shout came from the front row.
It's unstoppable, completely unstoppable!
The soldiers dismantled the machine guns as quickly as possible and hurriedly ran into the passage with the remaining weapons.
Moon City only has so many high-powered weapons. Losing one means losing one less. Even if they lose their lives today, they have to dismantle these machine guns and send them back!
Tan Ling glanced back at the soldiers; they were all busy moving weapons, and not a single one of them had run away.
At a distance of only 100 meters, the mutants could run over and tear them apart in a few seconds.
With a wave of her arms, Tan Ling unleashed a fierce wind, and a new ice wall rose from the ground, replacing the air wall and blocking the entire southern side.
Her ability's range isn't that wide; this distance is already the limit.
Fortunately, the main force of the Black Tide was already in the south, and the defenses of the western district had already been breached. They have now entered the later stages of the battle.
The mutants, charging forward, slammed into the wall once again. The enormous impact caused the entire ice wall to shake violently, and chunks of ice fell down in a flurry.
Tan Ling was almost forced to kneel by the weight. She bit her lip until it bled, then increased the pressure, making the wall even thicker.
"Run!!" she shouted at the people around her, her voice so loud it cracked.
This wall won't last long.
A superhuman in the distance shouted, "I'm coming to help you!"
The plant-based ability user summoned a large number of vines again, which attached themselves to the ice wall to support it.
"I'm coming too!"
The sand and gravel ability user stirred up the earth, and countless grains of sand transformed into rows of pillars, forming a triangular shape that supported the wall.
A new batch of Moonwalking Piglets and Netherworld Leopards emerged from the secret passage, biting and killing the mutants who tried to cross the wall one by one.
Only after all the weapons had been removed and the soldiers entered the secret passage did several superhumans finally collapse on the defensive line, unable to hold on any longer.
The wall collapsed with a roar, and the black tide surged forward, stepping on the broken ice.
"Tan Ling, let's go!" Song Qiming scooped her up and jumped into the secret passage.
The Nether Leopards jumped onto the stage, grabbed several other exhausted ability users, threw them onto their backs, and ran inside together.
The last soldier closed the door and detonated the bomb.
"boom!"
The entrance to the secret passage was completely destroyed.
At the same time as this sound, the sound of the Black Tide breaking through the defense line rang out.
The high platform, built of steel and wood, was shattered in an instant. The beams crashed down, trampled underfoot by the monsters, and crushed into the ground, as fragile as paper.
— Huge waves crashed onto the shore.
The demolition soldier pressed the button.
All the bombs placed on the first line of defense were detonated.
The gunpowder exploded into dozens of sand and dust fireworks, blasting all the deformed people in the front row to smithereens.
After the explosion, large trenches suddenly appeared on the ground, surrounding Moon City on three sides.
According to the demolition experts' precise calculations, the trench was more than three meters wide and ten meters deep.
The mutants further ahead rolled directly into the ditch, until they filled the deep pit, and were then trampled over by their kind behind them.
After that, the 200-meter stretch of road leading to the city wall was filled with traps, just waiting for them to come.
The cannon specially provided for Hu Hai has also been opened. He grips the handle with both hands and activates his supernatural ability.
From this moment on, this emplacement will never stop firing.
Everything that happened here was condensed into just a few words, which appeared on Dream City's radio broadcast.
——Yuecheng’s first line of defense was broken.
The blood, as red as that of a dead man, fell to the ground. Old Lu opened the window, and his eyes, worn by the years, were full of wrinkles, but the light within them was brighter than that of a lighthouse.
He gazed silently into the distance.
The top floor of the military building is not only the location of the disaster prevention command center, but also a place that overlooks the entire Dream City boundary.
The lines on the electronic screen had reached their highest point, and there was only one message on his phone.
—The highest leader from Jingzhou, and also the true lord of Dream City.
[You are in full command of the command center; defend Dream City.]
On the walls of Dream City, all the soldiers were on high alert, and a more professional defensive network than that of Moon City was set up. A few tanks were parked outside the city gate, and all the heavy machine guns were loaded.
On the distant horizon, black waves surged.
"Old Lu, they're here," a manager's voice rang out.
Everyone was waiting for the order from the top decision-maker.
The old man's back was slightly hunched, but his spine was straight. The heavy burden of history rested on his shoulders, and he stood silently.
After a long while, an aged voice rang out.
"Life is in the city of dreams, death is in the city of dreams."
"—Let's start the war."
