The number of monsters outside continued to swarm in.
At that moment, dozens of hand grenades fell from the sky, booming with explosive force—
The first wave of monsters on the ground was cleared, creating a wide open space!
“Captain!”
High above, Fu Qinqin had somehow climbed to the top of a tower. She gripped the mounted Fire Howl Gun, its rotating barrel sweeping continuously over the monsters pouring in from the ground.
Large groups of beasts fell like harvested wheat as Fu Qinqin roared in fury, unleashing her weapon's wrath upon these creatures.
Cai Bi maneuvered through the trenches, wielding a standard-issue rifle. With each gunshot, she claimed another monster's life.
The beasts outside resembled lizards, snakes, spiders, flying beetles, and two-headed serpents, mixed in with massive creatures as tough-skinned and heavy as elephants leading the charge. Yet Fu Qinqin’s firepower from the guard tower rained down relentlessly, easing the pressure on those below.
On the battlefield, two lizard-like Evolvers stood upright on their hind legs. They fought fiercely against the cavalry with their claws, creating a whirlwind of slashing winds and overlapping shadows that made it difficult for the cavalry and Jia Jia to cope.
Bang! Bang!
Da Fu Ge fired his handgun with precision; one of the Evolver's heads shook slightly but managed to evade his shot.
Bang!
Cai Bi’s rifle followed suit, directly blasting apart the lizard-like creature's head.
With one Evolver killed, the cavalry seized the opportunity to slice off its claws with dual blades. Green liquid sprayed onto the ground, hissing as it released white smoke. When they examined their blades, they found deep corrosion marks etched into the metal.
“Captain, look!” Jia Jia shouted, pointing at the two recently slain Evolvers.
The cavalry was momentarily stunned as they watched the two dead Evolvers begin to melt away. Their original lizard forms shed their skin in a continuous flow of liquid, gradually degenerating and twisting until they morphed into humanoid corpses!
“This is a human?” Jia Jia looked at the captain, her face filled with shock.
“Fall back!” The cavalry became more serious, and the two retreated to the defensive line, joining the firepower setup.
Due to the overwhelming number of strange beasts, it wasn’t long before the position of the Sniper Tower was engulfed like a wave, isolating it from the trenches behind.
“Qin Qin, get down now!” Cai Bi shouted loudly.
In the tower, Fu Qinqin was going wild, dragging and sending rounds into the Machine Gun until it was empty. Then she cursed loudly after several misfires. At that moment, seven or eight dark red Evolvers had already climbed up the tower.
Fu Qinqin kept knocking these climbing fellows down and even threw down hand grenades from the tower.
Suddenly, on the battlefield, the Beast Horde parted, and a giant beast with massive horns charged out, heading straight for Fu Qinqin’s Sniper Tower!
Boom!
The tower shook violently, and Fu Qinqin nearly flew out.
“Not good!”
Cai Bi observed that the strange horned Carapace Beast was persistently moving its heavy body back and forth. The base structure of the Sniper Tower was built from solid steel, making it much sturdier than one made of wood. However, the giant beast had no intention of giving up after just one charge.
Boom!
After crashing into it once, it retreated again and changed its stance to charge once more.
Boom!
Half of the steel structure of the Sniper Tower was smashed apart. Fu Qinqin was thrown out while entangled with the Evolvers. She grabbed onto the railing as two climbing Evolvers lunged at her. Raising her gun, she fired repeatedly, hitting them in their foreheads. She watched as their bodies fell into the Beast Horde below, which eagerly devoured them. Looking down at the bustling Beast Horde, Fu Qinqin saw they were frighteningly hungry. She had no choice but to hold onto the tilted Sniper Tower with both hands, swinging in mid-air like a pendulum.
Cai Bi continued shooting at the Evolvers crawling over to the tower from below. Finally, he saw that giant beast retreating once more, raising its horns again to charge at the already precarious Sniper Tower!
Boom!
The main steel structure supporting the Sniper Tower collapsed, and the Sniper Tower crashed down towards the Beast Horde.
“Qin Qin!” Cai Bi's heart raced as he leaped out of the trench, gritting his teeth as he drew his Zhan Dao and charged towards the Beast Horde, nearly losing his sanity.
Fu Qinqin grasped the Sniper Tower, its shadow casting a flicker of fear in her eyes as it fell.
Is this how it ends?
People often recall many faces and moments just before death.
For instance, the mother who they thought they had almost forgotten, yet every time she came to mind, it brought a pang of sorrow to their heart.
“Qin Qin, you must listen. Mommy is going out to work; I’ll be back soon.”
At that time, Qin Qin was only seven years old. Her mother lived with her in a poor neighborhood and had to walk for hours every day to work far away, regardless of rain or snow.
Many might wonder, where was her father?
In Fu Qinqin's memory, her father was synonymous with a drunkard, a gambler, a scoundrel, a bastard, a beast.
Every time he lost, he would drink heavily and return home inebriated, taking out his rage on her mother. After enduring his madness and alcoholism for too long, her mother took her away from there.
Six months later, her father somehow found them. He came with a group of ruthless men demanding to take her mother away. When she tried to resist, he pushed her to the ground. In desperation, she bit him, but he struck her down with a slap.
Her mother screamed as three or four big men dragged her away. Fu Qinqin chased after them for what felt like an eternity but ultimately lost sight of them. She thought she would never see her mother again. However, after a long time, her mother finally returned—bloodied and with a gaping wound that no amount of cloth could staunch.
She lay on the bed, weakly gazing at her precious child.
“Qin Qin, from now on… you’ll be all alone. You must be strong.”
"Don't, don't leave me, Mom. I'll take you to the hospital."
"Silly girl, if Mom goes to the hospital, I won't be able to see you again. I've left some money in the iron box under the bed for you. You have to... live on."
"Mom... please don't leave me alone."
"Qin Qin, Mom will be watching over you..."
No matter how heart-wrenchingly Qin Qin cried beside her, she spoke her last words with tears staining her cheeks and closed her eyes forever, quietly leaving this cruel world of survival.
To many, life and death are just natural occurrences, for there are many hardships ahead. But what overwhelmed her was not the weight of life, but the unbearable lightness of being.
From that moment on, Fu Qinqin hated her father, wishing he would die immediately.
Later, Fu Qinqin wandered everywhere, even fighting with others for food. Every orphan who took her in found her a headache until she joined the Captain's Special Operations Team.
Leaving like this was actually quite good; she had long stopped considering death as a big deal. Perhaps it would be nice to see her mother again after such a long time.
She couldn't care less about Cai Bi, who was fighting his way through the Beast Horde to save her—the fool who often teased her and wanted to take advantage of her. She glanced at the fallen tower, let go of her hands, and slowly fell into the Beast Horde!
"Qin Qin!" Cai Bi shouted angrily as the horsemen dragged him back.
Whoosh—
As Qin Qin fell into the Beast Horde, she closed her eyes, as if shutting a window on her light and waiting for darkness to engulf her body.
But as she fell, she crashed into something with a loud thud. Instead of feeling the pain of being torn apart by beasts, she wondered if she had lost consciousness from falling too hard.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she slowly opened her eyes and realized she was flying!
Boom, boom, boom—
A wave of heat from dozens of explosions rushed toward her, scorching her back. She turned to look at the Beast Horde, which was engulfed in flames. Why was she rising higher and higher away from the Beast Horde? What was happening?
What was holding her? She suddenly realized that something was embracing her, and she instinctively turned to see what it was, fearing that a monster had caught her.
But as her heart raced and she caught sight of a familiar face, her anxiety surged.
“It’s you!”
Fu Qinqin stared at Lu Fei Fan’s somewhat charming and handsome face, and her heart skipped a beat, pounding wildly.
Lu Fei Fan held her tightly as they soared through the air.
“You… you… you…” Fu Qinqin stammered as she noticed the strange wings unfurling from Lu Fei Fan’s back—one side gleamed with bright, pure white feathers like a radiant cloak, while the other was a bizarre black wing that resembled a raven, constantly shedding feathers.
“Isn’t it cool?” Lu Fei Fan asked charmingly.
For a moment, Fu Qinqin didn’t know how to respond; it was indeed somewhat cool… Her face suddenly felt warm.
“Hold on tight! I’m going to dive!” Lu Fei Fan’s expression turned serious.
Just as Fu Qinqin thought about giving him a slap, the sudden sensation of weightlessness made her scream. She instinctively grabbed onto Lu Fei Fan’s neck as they plunged downward. Just before they hit the ground, his black and white wings wrapped around them like a spinning top, sending them crashing into a horde of frenzied beasts attacking the trench.
Lu Fei Fan tossed Qin Qin toward the trench, where the cavalry caught her.
As Fu Qinqin steadied herself and prepared to yell at him, she realized that Lu Fei Fan had already soared away, holding a box of hand grenades and scattering them into the Beast Horde like hail.
Boom, boom, boom—
A series of explosions erupted, instantly clearing a large area.
“Wow, old man, you really hit the jackpot with that divine weapon!”
“Haha, we’re saved now!”
“There can’t be just him, right?”
As soon as they finished speaking, a loud bang echoed through the air.
The base's main gate exploded open, and a rugged, heavily armed military off-road vehicle roared in, making a sharp turn before stopping right in front of the trench.
“Get in!” Suma shouted as he stood up, grabbing the Fire Howl Gun attached to the vehicle and firing relentlessly at the remaining Beast Horde.
The fierce barrage of gunfire instantly mowed down a group of beasts that had attempted to charge forward.
The empty Lu Fei Fan unleashed a Hand Grenade, creating a bloody path through the chaos.
“Get in!” the team leader called out to the survivors.
“Captain, what about the injured?” Cai Bi shouted.
“Anyone who can be carried, carry them!” the team leader ordered.
“No way, we can’t take that many!” Suma countered as he glanced back at those behind him, then continued focusing on shooting at the beasts outside.
A heavy silence fell over the group. Finally, two severely injured members shook their heads and chose to stay behind, unwilling to burden their comrades.
“You take them away; I’ll stay here with them,” Zhong Nian, who had been called old man by the other team members, said resolutely.
“Old man, let’s go…”
“No, I can’t leave Cai and Wang behind! I brought them out, and I won’t abandon them! The vehicle can’t hold that many people. You all go ahead and leave us enough ammunition!”
Cai Bi gritted his teeth and handed them several boxes of Energy Grenades, a total of nine people climbed into the vehicle.
The cavalry turned to look at the two injured soldiers who silently watched the others board, then stood straight and saluted with a standard military gesture.
The two wounded men, half-reclined, slowly returned the salute.
This silent salute was a tribute to life and death.
“Let’s go!” The cavalry decisively boarded the vehicle without looking back.
He could only hear the sudden eruption of dense gunfire behind them, providing cover for his group.
The cavalry recalled one of the most famous oaths among the soldiers of the Free Federation.
— What I can offer is nothing but loyalty and my life.
Unable to contain his rage, he picked up two rifles and began to fire wildly. With a roar, the vehicle charged out like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, crashing through the encirclement of the Beast Horde's base.
