Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Blocked

"Of course it was me and Long Ming. But you guys are awesome too, managing to find such a large weapon."

Jing Chuan said to Fu Fuqing.

"It was alright."

Fu Fuqing didn’t say much, just picked up his gear and started to change.

Long Ming surveyed the Fifth Battle Group’s troops. Seeing their earth-shattering transformation, he couldn’t help but feel impressed.

’It really is true for small units like theirs. As long as they dare to fight and can scavenge equipment from the battlefield, they can get fully armed pretty quickly.’

’On the other hand, it’s harder to equip a massive force like Qian Luobing’s.’

「A dozen minutes later」

Everyone had finished changing into their new gear.

"Luoxue, we’ve got the gear and we’ve got the weapons. What’s our next move?"

Jing Chuan asked, his voice filled with excitement.

Fu Fuqing and the others also turned to Luoxue, waiting for her command.

Originally, they hadn’t been confident about pioneering this city, but now things were completely different.

"Let’s move. Target: the inner city laboratory!"

Luoxue said crisply.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Luoxue then led the group, heading for the inner city.

...

Meanwhile, Qian Wei had led Gao Feng and his men on a powerful assault, reaching the outskirts of the Osmo City inner city entrance.

"Halt!"

Qian Wei raised a hand, ordering everyone to stop.

He stared ahead with a gloomy expression. A towering rock wall came into view, with a massive entrance in its center.

The entrance was densely covered by a gigantic red spiderweb.

A huge, dark red cocoon hung in the center of the web, looking incredibly eerie.

"Young Master, it doesn’t look like getting into this inner city will be easy."

Gao Feng, wearing a gray, second-generation exoskeleton armor, glanced at the entrance. Inside his helmet, the virtual screen was constantly flashing red warning boxes.

"Warning: Blood Breath Spider detected!"

"Warning: Elite-class Blood Breath Spider detected!"

...

Almost the entire area around the entrance was covered in red dots.

"Easy or not, we’re going in. Attack!"

Qian Wei waved his hand imperiously.

Tanks and rocket launchers moved forward.

BANG! BANG!

Shells and rockets landed on the entrance.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Countless explosions swept through the area.

The red web at the entrance was blown to pieces, and the red cocoon fell to the ground and shattered.

A mutated, commander-class Blood Spider King was suddenly revealed. It stood five meters tall in a spider-like form, its body covered in disgusting red bumps and its head sprouting six eyes.

It opened its mouth and let out a roar.

"EEEE—"

Instantly, a skittering sound came from all around.

"What’s that sound?"

Qian Wei instinctively sensed danger.

In the very next second, countless Blood Breath Spiders crawled out from every sewer opening and from the corners of the dense surrounding buildings, swarming toward Qian Wei and his men.

"This is bad! Take out those monsters, quickly!"

Gao Feng ordered in horror.

BANG! BANG!

The soldiers quickly opened fire, frantically strafing the approaching Blood Breath Spiders.

Blood Breath Spiders were taken down one by one.

But a large number still broke through the hail of bullets.

Although these Blood Breath Spiders weren’t large, they were incredibly fast. After crawling onto the soldiers, their bodies began to swell up.

BOOM!

One by one, the Blood Breath Spiders self-detonated.

Viscous red blood and a bloody mist splattered everywhere.

"Aaargh!"

...

Soldiers not wearing exoskeleton armor let out bloodcurdling screams as they fell to the ground.

Seeing the situation turning sour, Qian Wei immediately gave the order.

"Fall back!"

Gao Feng and the others immediately retreated with their troops.

Once they had retreated to a certain distance, the Blood Breath Spiders stopped their pursuit, disappearing back into the various sewer openings.

...

Meanwhile, Luoxue, Long Ming, and the others were watching this unfold from a distance.

"Luoxue, this is a bit tricky. I didn’t expect Qian Wei’s group to be held up here,"

Jiang Heng said to Luoxue, sounding troubled.

"These Blood Breath Spiders aren’t strong individually, but they’re too small and their numbers are too great. Plus, they hide in the sewer tunnels, so heavy firepower is ineffective. Trying to clear them out with individual soldiers would result in too many casualties. It’s a tough nut to crack,"

Luoxue analyzed rationally.

"Actually, the best method would be to use incendiary weapons to burn the entire area, including the sewers,"

Fu Fuqing suggested to Luoxue.

"Correct, but it’s not practical to execute."

Luoxue shook her head slightly.

"So what do we do now? If Qian Wei’s group can’t get through, we can’t get in either!"

Jing Chuan and the others were also very anxious.

Just then, Long Ming’s and Luoxue’s gazes simultaneously turned to the thirty-meter-high city wall.

...

「Osmo City Inner City - East Entrance.」

"AWOOO—"

With a final howl, the massive Blood Spider King collapsed.

Qian Luobing waved her hand and gave the order.

"Enter the city!"

"Yes!"

Her vast forces marched into the inner city in a mighty procession.

Just then, Jiang Huai, looking at the screen of his drone controller, said to Qian Luobing with a smile,

"Miss, Qian Wei and your sister are both stuck outside the inner city. It looks like we’re the only ones who can get in. Everything inside is ours for the taking!"

"Excellent. Target: Koman Laboratory!"

Qian Luobing ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

Jiang Huai and the others replied with excitement.

...

「Osmo City Inner City - South Entrance.」

Jing Chuan and the others sighed, staring at the entrance with worried expressions.

"Sigh, how are we ever going to get in?"

"I have an idea,"

Long Ming said after a moment of thought.

Jing Chuan and the others all turned to ask Long Ming,

"What is it?"

"Qian Wei’s group can’t get in because they have too many troops, and their heavy weaponry has to go through the entrance. But there are only five thousand of us, and we’ve all switched to exoskeleton mechanical armor. We don’t need to use the entrance—we can just go over the wall,"

Long Ming stated his suggestion directly.

"That’s right! With our exoskeleton armor, scaling the wall would be a piece of cake."

Jing Chuan and the others’ eyes lit up. They all thought it was a viable plan.

Hearing this, Fu Fuqing, who was standing to the side, said with a face as black as charcoal,

"Go over the wall? What about the five spider tanks?"

"Simple. We leave a few people here to watch them. Once Qian Wei’s group breaks through the entrance, they can drive them in with the main force,"

Long Ming replied with a smile.

"Hmph!"

After hearing Long Ming’s words, Fu Fuqing let out an annoyed snort.

’He couldn’t deny that Long Ming was right, but this guy was just uncanny, as if he were born to be his nemesis. The spider tanks he had worked so hard to find were now completely useless.’

"I don’t think that’s a good idea."

Just then, Jiang Heng suddenly spoke up in disagreement.

"Why not?"

Long Ming looked at Jiang Heng, a little surprised.

"Your method is clever, but if we do that, we’ll be a lone force deep behind enemy lines! No one knows what the situation is like in the inner city. What if we run into a large horde of Blood Breath Beasts? The risk would be immense."

Jiang Heng voiced his concerns.

"You’re right, but as the saying goes, risk and opportunity coexist. If you want a share of the spoils, you have to take risks. Opportunities like this don’t come around often,"

Long Ming replied calmly.

Hearing this, Jing Chuan and the others all turned to Luoxue.

Luoxue glanced at everyone present, her tone calm but firm as she said,

"The Fifth Battle Group is the weakest in the Third Legion, but we won’t stay weak forever. Since opportunity is knocking, we’ll take the gamble!"

"Yes!"

Jing Chuan and the others responded in unison.

"Let’s go!"

Having made her decision, Luoxue led Jing Chuan and the others, sneaking toward the side wall.

「A moment later.」

Long Ming and the others reached the base of the city wall.

Zhihan looked up at the towering wall and said in awe,

"It’s so high!"

Just then, Jing Chuan took out a grappling hook and rope and handed it to Long Ming.

Long Ming took the grappling hook and rope, paused for a second, and asked,

"Where’s the gun?"

"What gun?"

"No, I mean, without a grappling gun, how are we supposed to throw this up over thirty meters?"

Long Ming was speechless for a moment. ’Even with exoskeleton assistance, that’s impossible!’

Jing Chuan and the others just looked at each other, at a loss.

"Sigh, I’ll do it,"

Jiang Heng said, stepping forward.

"You have a way?"

Jing Chuan and the others looked at Jiang Heng, confused.

"Yeah."

Jiang Heng then pulled a drone out of his backpack.

He attached the grappling hook and rope to the bottom of the drone and flew it up.

「One minute later.」

Jiang Heng successfully maneuvered the drone to secure the grappling hook on top of the wall. He then tied the other ropes to his body and began to climb up.

Before long, Jiang Heng reached the top. He secured each of the ropes and gave them an OK sign.

Long Ming and the others then grabbed the ropes and quickly began to climb.
