Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Volunteering
From a skyscraper in the distance, a war correspondent nervously aimed his camera at Anlev, who was on a killing spree, and began a terrified live broadcast.
"This is war correspondent Xu Tao, bringing you a live report on the latest battle developments. A burrowing, Lord Level Blood Breath Beast has breached the defenses in the lower district of northern Mountain City Mountain and emerged on North Lake Street. All civilians in the vicinity, please evacuate and take shelter immediately."
"How could this be?"
"No way."
...
Countless messages flooded the screen.
「In the command zone.」
An anxious voice crackled over the wireless communicator in Qian Wu’s hand.
"Lord Qian Wu, a Lord Level burrowing monster broke through from underground in Sector D and has entered the lower district! It’s on North Lake Street, causing massive destruction and death! We need backup!"
Qian Wu’s expression darkened as he listened. He turned to Qian Wei.
"Qian Wei, take a team and deal with it!"
"Understood!"
Qian Wei departed, furious.
’It was bad enough that a monster had broken into the lower district, but of all places, it had to come through *my* defense sector.’
「A short time later.」
Qian Wei and his men arrived at the North Lake Street area.
The entire area was in ruins. Collapsed buildings were everywhere, with bodies crushed beneath the wreckage.
Anlev was chasing down and devouring the fleeing civilians.
"Ah! Help!"
...
Desperate cries echoed through the air.
"Die!"
The sight sent Qian Wei into a rage. He charged forward and swung his blade, slashing it across Anlev’s body.
SLASH!
A gash was torn open on Anlev’s body.
"ROOOAR~"
Howling in pain, Anlev abandoned its prey and whipped its head around to face Qian Wei.
Just then, Qian Wei’s men moved to flank the beast, unleashing a hail of gunfire.
A dense hail of bullets peppered its body, punching small holes into its hide.
The weapons they wielded were in a different league from those of the garrison troops.
Enraged, Anlev opened its jaws and lunged at Qian Wei.
Qian Wei dodged back with a quick leap.
...
Xu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and continued his report.
"Excellent news. Lord Qian Wei has arrived just in time and is currently engaging the Lord Level monster. Garrison troops in the area are quickly evacuating survivors. It seems the situation is finally under control."
"Go, Lord Qian Wei!"
"You must win."
...
The people watching all began to pray.
Suddenly, a skyscraper in the distance collapsed with a deafening roar.
"What’s going on?"
Xu Tao was stunned.
The next moment, terrified screams erupted from the area where the building had collapsed.
Xu Tao panned the camera over and quickly zoomed in.
Amidst the roiling dust and smoke, another beast appeared: Brucku, a Lord Level Blood Breath Beast. It was seven meters long, shaped like a pangolin, its entire body covered in red pustules, and it sported a pair of razor-sharp claws.
"No way, another one!!"
His voice trembled as he spoke.
Garrison soldiers rushed forward.
"Run!"
They roared at the civilians around them while firing at Brucku.
BANG! BANG!
The bullets bounced off its hide as if just tickling it, but they succeeded in drawing its attention.
Brucku opened its mouth and instantly spewed a cloud of red mist over a wide area.
"Ah!"
The surrounding garrison troops and civilians were instantly incinerated, and fierce flames erupted all around them.
After dispatching the pests, Brucku began to move deeper into the lower district.
"It’s all over. That monster is heading further into the city."
The war correspondent Xu Tao said in terror.
"Oh god, who can stop it!"
"Someone save us!"
"We need guards, now!"
...
Countless comments flooded the livestream’s chat.
A soldier clutching a demolition charge rushed at Brucku from the side.
"I’ll take you with me!"
Brucku swept its tail at him.
The soldier was swatted away, and the charge he was carrying detonated in a massive explosion the moment he hit the ground.
Everyone watching this scene fell silent.
Then, a comment popped up in the chat.
"LMAO, what gave him the balls to just go feed himself to it? So dumb!"
"Fuck you, asshole! All you do is run your mouth. At least he had more courage than you’ll ever have!"
"You’re just a disgusting troll!"
"Dammit, what city you from? I’ll fucking kill you!"
...
An endless stream of angry condemnations flooded the screen.
「In the command zone.」
Qian Wu stared at the brutal battlefield, his expression grim. The situation was spiraling out of control.
Just then, a capable-looking female officer with short hair and fair skin hurried over to report.
"Lord Qian Wu, another Lord Level Blood Breath Beast has breached the lower district! It’s on Wave Street!"
"What the hell are my men doing down there?!"
A flicker of anger crossed Qian Wu’s face as he listened to Lin Qi’s report.
"Sir, that monster is a burrower. It snuck in while everyone’s attention was on the first Lord Level beast."
Lin Qi explained timidly.
Lin Qi’s words only made Qian Wu more furious. ’Both of them broke through the sector my troops were defending.’
Despite his anger, he calmly picked up his communicator and spoke.
"A Lord Level monster has breached the lower district on Wave Street! All units, eliminate your current targets as quickly as possible. I need volunteers for a support mission!"
「Battlefield Sector C11.」
Long Ming gripped a Vulcan heavy machine gun, mowing down the charging Blood Breath Beasts.
RAT-TAT-TAT~
One by one, the Blood Breath Beasts were taken down.
Just then, Qian Wu’s voice crackled over Jing Chuan’s communicator.
Long Ming heard it and, without stopping his barrage, turned to Jing Chuan.
"What’s wrong?"
"My God! The lower district is under attack by a Lord Level Blood Breath Beast, and it looks like there’s no one free to stop it."
Jing Chuan explained.
"Let’s go."
Long Ming immediately abandoned the machine gun and went with Jing Chuan to find Luoxue.
In another part of the battlefield,
"AARGH!"
With a final, agonizing howl, the General-level Blood Breath Dog collapsed, its dark red blood staining the ground.
"HUFF!"
Luoxue, Fu Fuqing, and the others panted, trying to catch their breath.
"Luoxue."
At that moment, Long Ming and Jing Chuan ran over.
"What are you two doing here?"
Luoxue asked, looking at Long Ming with surprise.
"A Lord Level monster broke into the lower district of Mountain City Mountain. No one’s free to intercept it. Let me go."
Long Ming explained briefly.
"But are you in any condition to fight it?"
Luoxue asked with deep concern.
"It doesn’t matter if I can take it. I have to go. Ordinary people can’t handle a Lord Level monster."
Long Ming could only imagine the carnage unfolding over there.
"Alright."
Since Long Ming was so adamant, Luoxue relented.
"I’ll drive him!"
Jing Chuan volunteered.
"Go ahead. You’ll be Long Ming’s support."
Luoxue immediately agreed.
Jing Chuan immediately led a team and hurried toward the lower district with Long Ming.
Luoxue watched their departing figures, picked up her communicator, and said,
"This is Luoxue of the Third Legion’s Fifth Battle Group. I’ve dispatched a team to provide support."
"Good."
Qian Wu replied.
....
「Wave Street.」
Brucku continued its advance into the heart of Mountain City Mountain, spewing red mist as it went.
BOOM! RUMBLE~
Cars parked along the road exploded one after another, incinerating the many civilians who hadn’t been able to escape in time.
