CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 286: RAILBURNER CANNON

Under the night sky, the fall of the Dreadnought Level air carrier undeniably cast a heavy shadow over the hearts of all survivors and soldiers of the Investigation Corps on the resistance line.

The thick smoke and flames roared in the sky, triggering massive explosions on the ground. What’s more terrifying was the giant sea urchin on the high-rise buildings in Xilan City’s block, descending like a devil, evoking fear with just a glance.

Its movement had the slow traits of a deep-sea creature, hundreds of meters of black thorns sequentially piercing into the ground. Each penetration caused small-scale earthquakes, and those thorns weren’t static, but gradually drifted, akin to billions of centipedes writhing and tumbling deep in its shell.

Crack... zizzizizizizizi~

A chilling infrasound like a keratin tremor emanated from the giant sea urchin, making one’s scalp tingle.

"Hold your ground, don’t freeze!!"

"The defense line is breaking!!"

Many resistors across various lines, facing the huge monster within the city, found themselves overwhelmed by fear and dazed, forgetting to resist. It wasn’t until their companions’ shouts and the roars of the Monster Tide came to their senses that they snapped back to reality.

But in just that instant, perhaps the emergence of this giant black sea urchin made the Monster Tide more ferocious, or maybe the heightened terror further diminished the morale of the resistance line, leading to a rapid decline in defensive positions in Southern City, Northern City, and East City. Large breaches had been created, forcing continual contraction of the defense line. Many vehicle formations and fixed weapon stations were abandoned, accompanied by heavy casualties.

"Attention all units, Cloud Black Thorn has crashed down, its weakness is exposed. Now is the prime moment to resolve it; notify all lines for a full-scale defense, hold until the last moment!"

At this time, Zhao Yu’s voice, like a towering anchor, resonated across the communication channels of the commanders, stirring everyone’s hearts.

"Do not be afraid, we’ve already knocked that thing down from the sky!"

"Keep holding on!"

"Do not give up!!"

"We have no retreat!!"

In the north, 23 mobile hunting squads swiftly traversed above the city and through the streets, trailing behind that S-class Cloud Black Thorn. Meanwhile, the remaining aircraft in the aerial combat squadron continued their slaughter against the Winged Demon swarm in the sky.

Watching the Cloud Black Thorn moving towards the defense line of the Northern City Rail Passenger Station, Han Jun said to Wen Zhuo:

"Why wasn’t it attracted by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and went somewhere else?"

"It’s not that it wasn’t attracted, but the prey within the city is more essential to it." Wen Zhuo glanced towards the direction of the rail station, "It certainly can identify threats, there are over ten thousand individuals there with five-level markings!"

Wen Zhuo immediately conveyed to all members of the mobile hunting squads:

"We can’t let it pass through the rail station, Team 1 divert its attention, Teams 2 to 10 follow with feigned attacks, the rest support the rail station defense!"

"Understood!"

Whoosh~

Figures swiftly moved through the air, Wen Zhuo caught up with KIKI ahead, saying to her, "The Emperor Group members are back. If we don’t quickly divert it, those Black Insects will follow here too. We must lead the battle to open streets!"

"Got it." KIKI hurriedly replied.

In the sky, missiles bombarded occasionally, while on the ground, the beam from the Electromagnetic Gun shone brightly, yet couldn’t penetrate the barrier outside the giant sea urchin’s black thorns, as if enveloped in a transparent protective film.

"We must provoke it to attack!"

Han Jun’s eyes blazed, "Did anyone notice, although its black thorns can swing widely, their movement is very slight."

"I noticed from the Cloud; its black thorns need to maintain integrity to uphold the barrier. If there’s a missing one, that area becomes hollow." Wen Zhuo compiled the information from the holo-screen observations and uploaded it to the Combat Intelligence Center.

"Whenever its thorns swing, the attack must be launched from there, just as it intends to fire those laser beams, there would certainly be no defense!"

"Understood." Qin Xueming said, Lu Xingchen also nodded.

Boom boom boom!

At the Northern City Rail Passenger Station, Chen Sixuan, Shi Deyuan, Monica, and others had already noticed the slowly advancing giant sea urchin in the distance, and everyone’s face changed dramatically.

Crack...

Meanwhile, the communicator was saturated with weird static sound, a sense of overwhelming pressure from a colossal entity rushed forth.

"Hey hey..."

"The communicator is seriously interfered, what’s going on?"

"It must be that monster."

"Damn it!" Shi Deyuan leapt to the rooftop of the passenger station, gazing at the giant sea urchin, spat fiercely: "How do we fight this thing with fists?"

Chen Sixuan raised Meteor 3, constantly scanning, swiftly capturing KIKI and others far away in the sky: "Hunting Squad guys also followed through, they are certainly trying to lure this thing with Hell Black Chrysanthemum."

"Captain Chen, we can’t hold off much longer below, those monsters are going mad!" Miao Lu, covered in blood, rushed over.

Below the passenger square, everyone was pushing forward, even Xiao Yuan led people to join the resistance line, and at the rear of Infinity, only the Railgun continued automatic firepower delivery, having exhausted all Anti-aircraft Gun and 1130 bullets.

Rumble~

As the hunting squad approached, the earthquake waves triggered by the Abyss Worm kept spreading.

"Maintain defense formation!"

Chen Sixuan immediately turned, "Brother Shi, Monica, throw all firepower onto the ground."
