The City of Terror
chapter-510

 If it was Jessica who was leading the way, then they would choose the route that would avoid the Zergs or a place that could be easily defended.

Jessica tried to justify things, “Everyone, don’t be angry. There is an Overlord above. It’s impossible to take a detour here! Prepare to defend!”

Hearing Jessica’s order, although the Marines let out their complaints, wanting to obey orders was rooted in their blood, so they quickly entered into formation.

However, Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. He immediately pulled out a great spear and dragged it with the spearhead on the ground as he charged toward the Zerglings!

“Don’t go!”

Jessica was only able to shout before Wei Xiao Bei swept with his great spear, flinging away two Zerglings at the front.

Compared to normal people, the Zerglings might be shorter, but they were a bit tougher.

However, with Wei Xiao Bei’s sweep, they could not even let out a sound as they were sent flying. At the same time, all their bones fractured, causing them to die.

Naturally, if the nest was quite close by, they might be able to be saved, but it was impossible now.

“Courting death?”

Seeing the Wei Xiao Bei charge at the enemy, the Marines felt a bit refreshed, but in just a few seconds, their jaws could only hang open.

Those Zerglings that were quite fierce in close combat were simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei appeared as if he was beating a scarecrow. With every draw of the spear, he would send two to three Zerglings flying. Moreover, the Zerglings that had been sent flying would land on the ground, spasm a bit, and die.

In less than five minutes, more than thirty Zerglings now laid on the ground.

After killing the last Zergling, Wei Xiao Bei ran at his top speed and stomped on the ground. In an instant, he was more than twenty meters in the air. Then he aimed at the Overlord and threw his great spear like a javelin.

 Impossible!

 How could a human throw their weapons that high up?

 It’s not even a bullet fired from a gauss rifle!

However, the soldiers that could not believe their eyes could only open their mouths.

The great spear instantly penetrated the Overlord’s air sac, causing it to descend.

It must be known that even if the soldiers fired their gauss rifle at it, it would take tens of shots before they could down it.

After all, the Overlord’s body was extremely light with a small air sac. Even if bullets were to hit it, it would immediately secrete a glue-like liquid that would prevent air from escaping.

However, it was only a hot air balloon in front of Wei Xiao Bei that popped with a single jab.

Naturally, they did not know that Wei Xiao Bei’s great spear was not a normal great spear. Just the corrosion effect alone was enough to make the Overlord taste pain.

Seeing the shot down Overlord, Wei Xiao Bei immediately thought for a bit and put away his great spear.

“Continue advancing!”

Wei Xiao Bei immediately shouted behind him and continued to lead the way.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei appeared to have become the squad’s leader. Even Jessica seemed to agree to pass on the authority.

As they journeyed, they had encountered a lot of Zergs, but there were not many of them in each instance. The most they encountered were twenty Zerglings and two Hydralisks, and the least was a trio of Zerglings that suddenly jumped out from the ground.

In that situation, the Zergs became Jessica and the squad’s latest military accomplishments.

To explain, the Marines calculated military accomplishments based on the number of enemies killed. On the other hand, the formula that the Medics used was medical efficiency. As for second lieutenant Jessica, her accomplishment was calculated on the success or failure of the mission.

For this reason, Jessica was rather worried.

Although they came out to accomplish a mission and it was completed, the squad had too many losses. After returning to base, her evaluation would not be too high, so her promotion would be delayed.

Naturally, under this kind of nasty situation, being able to survive and return to base was already lucky. They did not even dare make any demands.

Wei Xiao Bei did not pay attention to Jessica’s worries. For him, the most important thing was to find the six missing people, to see if he could find out why these monsters could enter the real world.

When it comes to the current situation, the only monsters that had entered the real world were the Zerglings and Hydralisks. Although they were a big threat to the normal people, the People’s Armed Police could still eliminate them with effort.

However, it would become problematic if higher level Zergs came into the real world.

For example, the Wyvern, the Lurker, the Ultralisk, and many other monsters should be above the level of a normal 3-Star. If they were to enter the real world, only the People’s Liberation Army would be able to deal with them, while the regional guards could only become food in front of them.

Admittedly, Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid of these monsters, but he would not be willing to see these creatures enter the real world and cause an apocalypse. If that happened, then his peaceful life would collapse. Even his family and friends might encounter mishaps.

“Stop! Everyone should hide. There is a battle ahead, so let us go take a look.”

Wei Xiao Bei who was walking in front immediately sensed the sound of battle. He immediately stopped everyone’s advance while he alone stuck to the ground and quickly crawled forward.

Seeing this scene, the Marine that was dissatisfied with Wei Xiao Bei could not help but say, “Could this guy be a Lurker?”

“Shut up!” six people shouted.

Hearing the Marine’s comment, everyone, including Jessica, turned their heads and raged at him.

At this time, everyone knew that their survival lay with Wei Xiao Bei. They would not permit this hard head to destroy their relationship.

Even Jessica coldly said, “Private Vernon! If you speak one more word like this, then I will put you in detention for fifteen days when we return to base!”

Hearing this, private Vernon’s face paled. There was no doubt that the so-called detention that came out from Jessica’s mouth was not like the modern detention where soldiers were locked in a dark room. If it was, Vernon would not have been so scared.

After he shut up, everyone looked for somewhere that they could hide in.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei had already hidden at the edge of the battlefield. He quietly expanded his [Response Search] to cover the entire battlefield.

It could be said that after gaining the [Enlightenment] skill, he had to keep his eyes close, causing him to continuously activate [Response Search]. This had caused the ability to show faint signs of breaking through.

Let alone others, the initial radius of four hundred meters had now expanded to four hundred and fifty meters.

This growth speed was still a bit worse than the growth speed of the [Electromagnetic Field].

Wei Xiao Bei’s current [Electromagnetic Field]’s radius had now grown to a twenty-meter radius. It was a twenty-five percent increase compared to the past sixteen-meter radius.

Naturally, the [Electromagnetic Field]’s radius was still a lot smaller compared to [Response Search]. Thus even if Wei Xiao Bei activated [Electromagnetic Field] for a long time, he would still rely on [Response Search] to scan his surroundings.

Under his skill effects, he saw an intense battle between monsters.

One side was the Zergs with about a hundred Zerglings and three Hydralisks. On the other side was a humanoid monster that he had not seen before, and there were seven of them.

With a height of about three meters, their bodies were covered with armor. Their leg armors were pushed backward while their foot was in a Y shape. Their shoulders were protruded outward and faintly let out green light. From their hands came out a crystal-like sword that emitted blue light.

Whether from their body structure or shape, these humanoid creatures looked closer to mechas than humans.

These humanoid creatures were a bit stronger than the Zergs. Wei Xiao Bei could feel that these humanoid creatures were covered by an invisible force field, allowing them to block the Zerglings’ and Hydralisks’ attacks.

Although Wei Xiao Bei already guessed the identity of these creatures when he saw them, he still opened his eyes to check their status.
