The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 631 - 624: So Ridiculous

The speed of the Serpent People’s ships was too fast; it took them only a few minutes to fly from Europa to the skies above Djibouti. Yet now, even if all of humanity in Djibouti had united, either voluntarily or by force, whether they could survive the Serpent People’s attack remained an unsettled matter in everyone’s hearts.

More than unsettled, not one person remained who still believed that humans could win, perhaps.

Gao Yuan dared not hope that humanity would win; he could only say he would do his best.

In the end, all one could do was their best.

Luo Xingyu’s helmet visor came down, and through the transparent shield, she stared blankly at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan, separated by the visor, stared blankly back at Luo Xingyu.

Two lovers, transcending romantic and familial bonds, standing face to face, depending on each other in the most difficult moment of their lives.

Did Luo Xingyu have time to leave her mecha and embrace Gao Yuan?

Actually, she did, but she couldn’t, because she was piloting the mecha, and that meant she had a responsibility.

Responsibility, at times, seemed as light as a feather, barely worth mentioning, but at other times, it was more important than anything else.

Leaving the mecha and re-entering it ultimately took time, and with no one knowing when the Serpent People might arrive, leaving one’s mecha unattended was truly an irresponsible act.

How many monsters could more than fifty ships deliver?

No one knew.

What kind of monsters would more than fifty ships drop off?

Again, no one knew.

Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan and suddenly said in a low voice, "Brother, this time, I’ll protect you."

Gao Yuan smiled, looked at Luo Xingyu, and then he raised his right hand into the air while Luo Xingyu, maneuvering the mecha, extended an arm and opened her fingers.

The mecha’s hand was exquisitely made, mirroring the shape of a human hand, even the length and shape of the fingers resembled those of a human hand.

Gao Yuan’s hand and the palm of Luo Xingyu’s mecha touched in midair.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

The corners of Luo Xingyu’s mouth lifted as if in a smile, but tears were in her eyes. She blinked at Gao Yuan, then withdrew her hand, and suddenly, her metal visor slammed shut, completely isolating her from Gao Yuan outside the mecha.

At that moment, Jia Weidong appeared again, preceded by eight mechanical dogs racing past Gao Yuan at high speed, then sprinting off in different directions and quickly disappearing from Gao Yuan’s view.

Jia Weidong stood beside Gao Yuan, nodded at him, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, long time, no see."

Gao Yuan took a deep breath and responded, "Long time, no see, huh, how come you’re here too?"

Jia Weidong smiled smugly and then said softly, "Because I’m the best."

Gao Yuan looked at Jia Weidong, sizing him up with a glance and said, "Keep bragging, Supreme Command is full of talent, it couldn’t possibly come down to you being the best. Tell the truth."

Jia Weidong spread his hands and then, with a serious face, said, "It’s true I’m the best. The others are... exceptional soldiers, but only I know how to hunt with dogs. In fact, many things are like hunting; most people in the base don’t know how to use dogs."

Just then, Xiang Weiguo followed and walked out.

He stood beside Gao Yuan and Jia Weidong, smiling and saying, "You really shouldn’t underestimate Weidong this time; he stood out from over six hundred competitors. I’ve always said this guy was born to be a soldier, and not just any soldier, but special forces material."

Gao Yuan, puzzled, said, "Commanding mechanical dogs... is there any difficulty in that?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Xiang Weidong laughed and said, "Some people rely on technique, others on talent, and some have both technique and talent. Weidong lacks education and isn’t very cultured, but when it comes to the tasks set for assessment, he’s the only one able to complete them. What do you make of that?"

Gao Yuan opened his mouth, then turned to Xiang Weiguo and asked, "What were those mechanical dogs carrying just now?"

Xiang Weiguo smiled and answered, "You could guess, it’s metallic hydrogen, rocket launcher fired, extremely powerful. If we can shoot, the mechanical dogs will launch rockets, if not, they’ll self-destruct."

The sun had completely set, and there was still a hint of afterglow over the sea, but night was inevitably falling.

The Serpent People deployed monsters at night, truly choosing their moment well.

Gao Yuan glanced at the fading afterglow, then lifted his head to look at the now completely dark sky.

The Serpent People’s ships obscured the sky; only through the gaps in their bombing could one catch glimpses of the deep blue sky.

As night was about to fall completely, the Serpent People arrived.

Some went into a frenzy, shouting wildly; some fired into the sky. The tanks, the soldiers stationed in the circular fortifications outside the underground shelters, everyone felt a chill in the moment the Serpent People arrived.

Xinghe stepped out, still inside her mech.

To Gao Yuan’s surprise, Lizhizi was also inside a mech, piloting the one with two shell holes, appearing outside the underground shelter.

Lizhizi’s mech looked no different from Luo Xingyu and the others, except his shoulder-mounted electromagnetic cannon and left-arm electromagnetic gun had been dismantled. In Lizhizi’s mech’s right hand, there was a cannon barrel.

An anti-aircraft gun barrel.

Gao Yuan couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Lizhizi, shouting loudly, "Taoist Priest, you..."

A whistling sound interrupted Gao Yuan’s words, followed by a loud bang as a huge shadow landed and began to slowly stretch its limbs.

The Serpent People’s assault came without warning and without any probing.

The sound of pounding was incessant; a tank’s barrel was bent skyward as it was crushed by a falling monster, and then a giant beast roared, tearing apart the tank beneath it.

It was too fast, as unavoidable as hail falling from the sky.

Luo Xingyu opened fire, her right-shoulder electromagnetic cannon blasting, a streak of blue light followed by a loud bang, and the whistling of the arrow-shaped projectile was almost as loud as the boom of a large cannon firing.

A giant beast, one Gao Yuan had never seen before, collapsed in front of him without struggle, without explosion, just having raised its scythe-like forelimbs after landing, it instantly slumped to the ground.

With the electromagnetic cannon’s first fire, all the machine guns, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, every weapon capable of firing rounds burst into action, and in one second, they all went silent.

The defensive line personally deployed by Ram and Larry was like a laughable joke, shattered by the Serpent People’s attack in just one second.

Smashed to pieces, torn to pieces.

Countless monsters instantly landed on the ground, instantly tore through the hastily arranged defenses, making humanity’s counterattack seem so ridiculous, and then, in a desolate manner, crushed everything in their path.

This had always been the way of the Serpent People’s attacks, with no probing, no pauses, a total assault from the start.
