Chapter 878: Lucius rescue operation (7)
"Help! Help!"
"AAAAAAAH, KEEP THEM OFF ME! KEEP THEM OFF!"
A grotesque mass of flesh-devouring bugs surged through the streets, unleashing a living nightmare upon the soldiers.
These insects, swarming with voracious hunger, formed a dense, writhing cloud of terror, buzzing like a sinister herald of doom.
As they descended upon the unsuspecting men, chaos erupted. Screams of horror and pain filled the air, almost drowned out by the relentless drone of countless wings.
Soldiers flailed helplessly, their weapons useless against the swarm. The bugs, insatiable and relentless, crawled over their victims, biting and consuming flesh with ruthless efficiency.
The street became a scene of horror as the swarm moved on, leaving behind a grisly tableau of devastation.
"That wasn't the only horror on that battlefield.
Massive, thorny vines wreaked havoc on the battlefield, almost as if they were under the control of a malevolent force.
These living tendrils burst from the ground with unnatural speed, ensnaring soldiers in their iron grip.
The air was filled with the sound of snapping bones and desperate cries as the vines tightened, impaling flesh with their sharp thorns.
Like the arms of a vengeful deity, they thrashed and flailed, dragging screaming men into the earth, leaving behind a trail of blood and torn uniforms.
The once-ordered ranks of soldiers were thrown into disarray as fear took hold, and the fight turned into a struggle for survival.
The battlefield, littered with fallen bodies, bore witness to the vines' relentless assault. In their path, nothing was spared, turning the once-contested ground into a gruesome garden of horrors where the vines reigned supreme.
Those unfortunate individuals who had survived the two remaining disasters eventually died as a result of the corrosive fog.
Some were still alive, and Martha put an end to their suffering.
However, attacks were raining down on the fleeing group. Floyd was able to prevent a bullet from penetrating Amber's head by utilizing his strength.
"Fuck! That was close!"
"Keep focusing," Gwen said.
If Floyd lost concentration, one of them could die. Another attack arrived. This time, it was explosive. Martha's vines were still there. She created a huge one before the bomb exploded.
"Take cover!"
The order echoed through the air, and in a fluid, synchronized movement, the entire group darted behind the massive thorny vines, bending and weaving to form a protective barrier around the group.
The explosion wasn't just loud; it was cataclysmic. It sent shockwaves ripping through the ground, obliterating a nearby building.
It was like a house of cards that was caught in a storm; the framework fell apart. Debris flew, a hail of shattered glass and splintered wood that was lethal, and a cloud of dust and smoke billowed higher, coloring the sky with the ash of the destruction that had occurred. The plants were able to absorb most of the energy that was produced by the explosion, and despite the impact of the explosion, they remained sturdy.
It was an unreal sight to behold. Amid the onslaught of violence that consumed them, there was a brief pause in which everything appeared to come to a complete and total halt.
"GO!"
The group moved again; they ran and ran, but the attacks kept raining down on them. A rain made of mana-powered bullets.
Floyd was sweating. His face was pale due to the exertion. "I-I can't..." "Floyd!"
However, right at that moment, there was a lull in the enemy barrage of attacks. Explosions and gunshots echoed through the streets.
"Backup arrived!"
It was clear the pressure on Amber's team was decreasing at a fast pace.
"We are almost there, guys! Keep running!"
