Chapter 664 Mutated Beast Tide (1)

When Li Cha and the others saw that the insects had been killed halfway and that the remaining ones were no longer a threat, they heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Song Shi gratefully.

Without Song Shi’s help, anyone present might have been killed by the bugs.

When Zhang Jiqing saw Song Shi’s ability, he sighed with emotion. “If not for him, when we retreated this time, half of us would probably be dead.”

The Adjutant nodded. “He’s even more valuable than a level-3 superhuman because it’s very difficult for a level-3 superhuman to kill so many mutated beasts in a short period of time.”

“Combining firearms with superhuman powers can unleash the greatest lethality.”

Zhang Jiqing muttered.

When Song Shi heard this, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

Because he was powerful and had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, he controlled many Laws and could easily destroy a small world. He could also easily destroy a galaxy in this universe.

Under such circumstances, he would definitely underestimate these firearms. Little did he know that when firearms were developed to the level of planetary destruction, they could also threaten Immortal Gods.

“In the next Cultivationless Great Tribulation, technology will dominate the universe. I can’t underestimate firearms.”

Song Shi’s perspective changed a little. This was because he was weak at the moment. After enjoying the help of hot weapons, his strength would continue to grow. However, as long as these weapons continued to increase, it was not impossible for them to continue helping him.

“If you have time, you can study technology.”

He thought to himself that the cultivation system in this world was too trashy and did not have much value to him. Furthermore, he had never come into contact with technology before, so he could learn from it.

While he was thinking about it, the assault rifle in his hands did not stop. Insects and rats were killed one after another.

In the wilderness, the smell of blood and burnt flesh filled the air. The behemoth mobile battery did not fire. It crushed the corpses of insects and rats and firmly retreated.

As the insects and rats stopped appearing and the first wave of attacks stopped, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and took the time to rest. No one knew when the second wave of attacks would arrive.

The convoy was still very slow. They retreated at a speed of about an hour and ten kilometers. It would take at least 40 minutes to completely retreat to the vicinity of the second line of defense. If they were surrounded by mutated beasts, the time would be extended.

Song Shi calmly reloaded his gun. He looked at the high ground that had already left a distance away and then looked down at the pile of things beside him.

Among them, the tent was wrapped in a rather long thing. Inside were the zombies he had hidden in advance.

“It’s not suitable to use this thing in such a place.”

Song Shi thought helplessly. Fortunately, he was getting stronger and stronger at this moment. The value of this thing to him was decreasing. He hoped that it would not be useful. He would just find a place to bury them in the future. After all, the growth speed of zombies was relatively slow.

After experiencing the wave of attacks, the mutated beasts became quiet and did not appear nearby again. However, Song Shi still acutely sensed that there were eyes staring at them.

In the tense atmosphere, a few minutes passed. Just as everyone was slacking off, a chirping sound appeared.

“Rats again?”

Song Shi frowned. He thought that it would be other mutated beasts this time, but it was still rats.

Soon, the soil on the ground churned, revealing holes. There were even more holes than last time. There were more than a hundred holes.

Rats quickly crawled out and turned into a tide that surrounded the convoy in the blink of an eye.

“It’s a little too much!”

Song Shi acutely sensed that there were several times more rats than last time. Unfortunately, he had yet to cultivate his Divine Telekinesis and could not investigate the situation in the cave.

He couldn’t help but look at the sky. It had been gloomy recently, but it was still not conducive to the zombies unleashing their strength. However, if it really didn’t work, he could still use it.

However, the cloudy sky was also suitable for these rats who liked to move in the dark. Amidst the chirping sounds, gunshots sounded and a similar scene appeared again.

Soon, the insects also killed their way out. The light above their heads dimmed. Thousands of insects flew over or emerged from the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, the retreating convoy was completely surrounded. Even if the cars and mobile cannons could directly crush them, most of them could still attack the humans.

The expressions of the others changed. There were so many mutated beasts, even if they were all insects and rats.

The soldier beside him cursed, “F*ck, they’re targeting you.”

“They want us to stay!”

“Damn it, I didn’t expect the most dangerous moment to be the time to retreat.”

“Damn it, kill!”

The group of people were forced to roar and start attacking crazily with their weapons. This was because if they were too slow, they might not even have the chance to finish firing.

Hundreds of people alone could no longer suppress the pests and rats from approaching. At this moment, the cannons that had not been activated previously were also activated and began to spew out dense flames.

This time, it was an ordinary bullet, but it still easily killed a large number of insects and rats. Blood splattered everywhere, and the ground was filled with broken corpses, red and green.

Song Shi discovered that the assault rifle’s shooting speed had already reached its limit. Even so, it was only a drop in the bucket and could not stop more and more insects and rats.

If not for the cannons shooting in all directions and forcefully suppressing the approaching insects and rats, many people would have been torn apart by them.

Zhang Jiqing’s expression was ugly. “Why are there so many beasts this time? The last two times, there were far fewer than this.”

He said to the Adjutant, “How long can the cannon ammunition last?”

“Two minutes at most.”

The Adjutant smiled bitterly. “We have to ask for reinforcements. Otherwise, we will all be wiped out.”

“Requesting reinforcements!”

Zhang Jiqing did not hesitate. The current pests and rats had already exceeded their limits. Without reinforcements, they would not be able to reach the end.

The Adjutant hurriedly went to contact someone. After saying a few words, his face turned pale.

“Camp Commander, it’s over. At this moment, there’s a rat tide insect tide outside the base city. We still don’t have many here.”

“What!”

Zhang Jiqing felt a buzz in his head. Be it the rat tide or the insect tide, they were all disaster-level dangers.

Faced with such a terrifying disaster, even the base city would be breached. At this moment, the base city could not even take care of itself and would definitely not be able to come and support them.

He hurriedly ran to the highest point and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see smoke.

The Adjutant smiled bitterly. “If we continue to approach now, we might bump into the mutated beast tide.”

The Camp Commander jumped down and looked at the increasing number of mutated beasts around him. “We can only rely on ourselves. Go and take out all the ammunition, including grenades. All carriages, stop and form a defense around the battery. In addition, reduce the firepower of the battery by half!”

When his order was sent out, many cannon fodder did not understand what was going on. However, under pressure, the honest trucks were still connected from the front to the back to form a circular barrier.

When Song Shi heard the reason for stopping, he could only curse in his heart. He casually untied the tent and drank a tube of nutrient fluid at the same time. The Genuine Qi in his body circulated faster, preparing to fight at any time.

He did not expect to encounter the most dangerous moment today.

After completely turning to defense, the battle line shrank and the pressure on everyone decreased a lot. However, no one dared to relax in the face of the mutated beasts that kept surging out.

At this moment, Zhang Jiqing’s voice spread through the amplifier. “Everyone, a rare mutated beast tide has erupted in the base city. It can’t support us. If we want to live, we have to rely on ourselves.”
