The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 630 - 623: Please Be Ready for Battle

In just twelve minutes, when Gao Yuan stepped out of the medical pod, the outside world had completely changed.

"What’s this?"

Li Jingang spoke softly, "The Serpent People came with three spaceships and released these new monsters. It’s clear that these monsters are modified humans. Then, in less than five minutes, we killed all the monsters, and now the Serpent People’s spaceships have already left."

Gao Yuan looked towards Li Jingang because if all the monsters had been killed and the Serpent People’s spaceships had departed, there seemingly was no need to be so tense.

Li Jingang lowered his voice and said, "But the spaceships over Europa are assembling. So far, fifty-two ships have gathered together. We must assume these ships are targeting here."

Fifty-two ships targeting the small Djibouti, or more specifically, this port dock of Djibouti.

Gao Yuan felt a chill rapidly spreading downwards from the top of his head.

"The nuclear submarine has resubmerged, Elder Xiang has entered... the command of the 59th power cabin. I’ve discussed with Elder Xiang, and you need to take Xinghe, the Ark of the Covenant, and Revelation and leave. But for now, we dare not let you go because we fear that the Serpent People’s target this time is not to destroy the city but you and Xinghe."

Li Jingang sighed softly and spoke in a low tone, "It’s clear now. One of the Graycloaks who was responsible for watching the communicator told the Serpent People that there’s a Celestial here and described your features very clearly, even pinpointing our location here. We had intended to have you leave on the nuclear submarine, but Xinghe said the Serpent People can easily detect the submarine. Now the only choice is for you to stay here, using the protective cover of the underground shelter, and wait for the right time to escape."

Gao Yuan remained silent.

Li Jingang continued in a soft voice, "This is the consensus among everyone. I’ve only brought you here to see the type of monsters and to understand our current situation. Do not argue, and don’t talk foolishly about dying together. You still need to search for the Ark with Xinghe. We’ve finally put together the Ark of the Covenant and Revelation, and if we don’t find the Ark, won’t all these sacrifices and efforts be in vain?"

Finally, Gao Yuan heaved a sigh and then spoke softly, "You don’t need to teach me this; I know now how heavy my burden is. I won’t speak of sacrifice lightly to shirk my responsibilities and mission. But I am wondering, is there still a chance to get out?"

This time, it was Li Jingang who remained silent.

Gao Yuan said softly, "Have you ever experienced a siege of zombies and a monster attack on the city?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingang replied, "I was in the underground base of Supreme Command during the first virus outbreak by the Serpent People, and I was at Shimen Shelter No.2 when the monsters attacked for the first time."

Fear, a name for the emotions that arose on Gao Yuan’s face, reflected the deepest fear in his heart.

"They blanket the sky and cover the earth, endless and boundless. There is chaos everywhere, fear... I wonder, with more than fifty ships assembled this time, something unprecedented, how many monsters could they release at once?"

Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Luo Xingyu, who was standing guard at the entrance of the underground shelter.

Luo Xingyu’s helmet visor was open, and as she looked down at Gao Yuan, she asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

Gao Yuan really wanted to hug Luo Xingyu, but now, all he could do was look up at the much taller Luo Xingyu and say, "Xiaoyu... How many spaceships did the Serpent People use when they attacked our home?"

"Ten," she replied after reviewing the battle report. "The first time they attacked, the Serpent People deployed three especially gigantic Drill Worms that bored a huge hole straight through the mountain. We could only confirm the direction of the Drill Worms by the vibrations they caused. Once a Drill Worm entered the base, we killed it, but the creatures following would use the tunnels the Worms created to infiltrate the base. Initially, we suffered heavy casualties, but as we figured out how to deal with them, the situation started to improve."

Love and affection had to be set aside for the moment; on the battlefield, such emotions had no place.

Lost in thoughts, Gao Yuan gazed at Luo Xingyu and asked, "What kind of creatures do the Serpent People have?"

"Mainly smaller creatures entered the tunnels, with few Armored Beasts. More predominant were... humanoid creatures – not zombies but monsters primarily modified from humans. They’re similar in size to us, so they can easily navigate areas where humans can move comfortably. However, these humanoid creatures have a striking resistance to damage; regular bullets are ineffective. The main force consists of humanoid monsters, supported by Armored Beasts and smaller insect-like creatures."

After Luo Xingyu finished speaking, she stared intently at Gao Yuan and said with a sob in her voice, "Let me introduce the Mecha weapons system. My left-hand Electromagnetic Gun has an adjustable caliber, with a minimum of three millimeters and a maximum of ten millimeters. It’s a contactless electromagnetic accelerator that freely adjusts within the caliber size. It can accelerate each gram of metal to an initial velocity of eight kilometers per second. Right now, I’m using six-millimeter steel balls that weigh 1.03 grams, eight-millimeter ones weigh 2.06 grams, and ten-millimeter ones weigh 4.1 grams. I select different diameter steel balls based on the size and distance of the target."

Steel balls, the most advanced weapon, was actually firing steel balls, a type of ammunition that could be considered primitive...

As Gao Yuan was at a loss for words, Luo Xingyu continued, "My shoulder-mounted Electromagnetic Cannon has an adjustable caliber of 5 to 20 millimeters. Currently, it fires Tungsten Alloy Fin-stabilized Darts that are nine millimeters in diameter and twenty-two centimeters long, with an initial velocity of 6200 meters per second upon firing. It can penetrate the main armor of all currently known tanks and kill any known living creature; there’s even a record of one shot piercing through two Armored Beasts."

Luo Xingyu raised her left arm and continued, "The Electromagnetic Gun is mainly used to target zombies and humanoid monsters. It can fire single shots or bursts, with a rapid rate of fire, reaching up to ten thousand shots per minute. It’s highly accurate, offers automatic aiming, but the steel balls have a high trajectory deviation and the velocity attenuates quickly, so it’s used within three hundred meters.

The Electromagnetic Cannon has a range of up to three thousand meters with an adjustable firing rate. Using heavy darts, the maximum rate of fire is fifteen rounds per minute, with light projectiles it reaches up to one hundred and twenty rounds per minute. Currently, we only have the heavy dart ammunition. I still have seventy-six rounds of cannon shells and thirteen thousand and forty-two rounds of gun ammunition."

Luo Xingyu turned around to show her back where there was a long, arc-shaped ammunition box, resembling a rooftop cargo box.

"This is the ammunition box; its maximum load is eighty kilograms. If filled entirely with six-millimeter steel balls, it can hold seventy-six thousand rounds. All I need to do is refill it with steel balls, or any cylindrical metal objects smaller than ten millimeters in diameter—even irregularly-shaped metal can be loaded and fired normally, so in an emergency, shell fragments and bullet heads can be used." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Gao Yuan nodded.

In some ways, the combat power of a single Mecha now far exceeded that of a tank from the past.

Just then, Luo Xingyu suddenly said in a low voice, "But the strongest Mecha belongs to Xinghe. We’ve only managed to replicate the most basic functions of her Mecha, combining Earth’s technology for enhancements. However, Xinghe’s Mecha is the real deal, containing many secrets, and only Xinghe can truly operate it."

While Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were talking, groups of Sanitation Worker soldiers appeared, running into the underground shelter in a panicked yet orderly fashion.

It was hard to accept, but that was the reality. The enemies, who had been fighting to the death just moments ago, now had to join forces to face the imminent crisis.

At that moment, Xinghe’s voice suddenly rang out.

"The Serpent People’s spaceships have moved, please get ready for battle."
