Chapter 1065 - Iblis

Chapter 1065: Iblis
The screams pierced the entire battlefield and even overshadowed the sound of bullets.
In the middle of the intense exchange between the mercenaries and the refugees, a black shadow suddenly interrupted the battle.
With the help of a flare, everyone saw the appearance of the monster.
Bow-shaped legs, arms that looked like two lacquered black machetes, grain-sized fangs in its rectangular-shaped mouth, and two pairs of short wings on its back, just like a humanoid mantis.
The exchange of fire briefly stopped for two seconds.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
However, just when the exchange of fire stopped, the
mantis
moved.
The bowed-shaped legs began to move, and the seven-foot-high figure took off like an explosion. The refugee who was closest to him didn’t have any time to react before his head was cut off by the blades. Blood spurted out from his arteries as he collapsed.
Pushing his prey to the ground, the monster’s mouth severed his neck and penetrated the flesh. With a crunching sound, the monster drank the bone marrow and flesh of his prey.
The ruthlessness was as cruel as a beast.
Even the fanatical believers couldn’t stop the nausea in their stomachs. Their legs began to tremble as they uncontrollably moved back.

Iblis…

It was the name of the devil, like Satan from the Bible.

Iblis!

Someone shouted the name out and there were screams, screeches, and shrieks.
The refugees aimed with their G36 rifles and pulled their triggers at the monster. However, the mantis used its two blades and allowed the bullets to hit its armor. It did not worry about the 5.56mm bullets at all.
The worst thing was that there wasn’t just one of this monster!
Dozens of black shadows jumped out from the entrance of the underground bunker, waving their double blades at the refugees. Once monsters were close to the refugees, the refugees’ only fate was being slaughtered.
Other than the mantises, there was also a worm-like creature that sprayed highly corrosive saliva. Even steel and cement couldn’t withstand its high corrosiveness, not to mention human flesh.
Against the fabled devil, the believers finally began to fear.
The mob finally began to collapse.
On the other hand, the mercenaries were cheering.
It was their allies!
Although they looked disgusting.
However, their cheers didn’t last long, and soon, a similar nightmare engulfed them.
Dense spores floated out of the underground bunker and slowly spread throughout the entire base, barely noticeable under the disguise of the night. People who came into contact with these spores began to have difficulty breathing, then the searing pain began to spread from their chests. They screamed and scratched their skin, letting their blood gush out.
Soon, they lost all senses and became just like the walking dead.
Except for those wrapped in exoskeletons, those who were on the battlefield, regardless of their side, were swallowed by the spores.
In order to survive, the mercenaries and refugees turned their guns and began to fight a common enemy.
However, from the beginning, they didn’t have a chance of winning.

What the fuk, what is this thing?!

A monster that resembled a Death Claws leaped at him. Jiang Chen kicked its chest while sweating profusely. He emptied his clip from the rifle, then took out a laser sword to chop down one arm of the monster.
Green blood spurted out and the blood turned into mist by the burning laser sword.
While the monster was screaming and moving back, Jiang Chen didn’t chase it. His right hand, which was holding the sword, shook and a beautiful arc formed in the air. The rotating laser blade separated from the hilt and cut off half of the monster’s face.
Fortunately, he was still familiar with this move; otherwise, he would’ve really been caught off guard.
On the other hand, Ayesha set up a Ghost Sniper Rifle and calmly exploded the skulls of two mutants.

There are too many of them. We can’t stay here anymore.
Jiang Chen picked up the PK2000 on the ground and replaced a magazine.
Prepare to retreat.

Ayesha nodded but didn’t move.

I will secure our backs.


You first, hurry!
Jiang Chen pushed her shoulder then fired at a few zombies rushing toward them.
That’s right, they were zombies.
But they looked different from the zombies in City K. These zombies didn’t seem to be infected with viruses but were similar to zombies from the apocalypse.

When he saw the two lines of words projected on his helmet screen, he suddenly understood what these things were.
They were too similar.
The things he had encountered in Wanghai.
Without time to process what just happened, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate. He used his highest command authority in Celestial Trade, bypassing all decision-making layers, and directly connected to Stingray C-1 deployed in the synchronous orbit. He targeted the underground bunker in the center of the base and called for an airstrike.
As for diplomatic issues, these would only matter after he dealt with the enemy of humanity!

This is Stingray C-1. The airstrike target has been confirmed. The tungsten rods have separated and are leaving the synchronous orbit. The airstrike is expected to arrive in ten minutes. Combatants, please evacuate from the target area…
Jiang Chen turned off the communication, emptied his rifle, and rushed toward the edge of the base.
Ayesha, who had already run outside the base, set up a sniper rifle and began to cover Jiang Chen’s retreat. For some reason, these monsters seemed to be consciously chasing them as if they were controlled by some kind of consciousness.
Before being surrounded by the army of zombies and mutants, Jiang Chen successfully dove out of the barbed wires. At the same time, he tossed a nuclear grenade behind him, then ran without turning back with Ayesha.
The explosion blew up a group of mutants. After he confirmed that the zombies and mutants were not chasing them, Jiang Chen took out the off-road motorcycle from the storage dimension and whizzed to the nearby mountains.
They headed not in the direction of the refugee camp, but the direction of the border.
The motorcycle rushed onto the hill and he stopped. After he confirmed the time, he looked back at the military base. With the light from the sporadic fire, he barely recognized that there were no living humans in the entire military base.
Just then, white light, like stars flickering, appeared in the night sky.
With long and narrow tails, dozens of tungsten rods slammed into the center of the military base, and the dust from the explosions were elevated high into the air.

They should’ve died, right?
Jiang Chen muttered and took out binoculars from his pocket.
When the dust dissipated, only a deep pit with a diameter several dozen meters wide was left in the center of the base, just like an abyss leading to hell.
The mutants were crawling out of the deep pit…
