Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 722: Eccentric Pursuer

Floating clouds rolled up.

The clouds occasionally emitted a bloody red flame. At this moment, a gust of wind blew the clouds away. Looking down from the sky, more than half of the defensive outer wall of the supply base L1358 had been ignited by the flames. As dawn approached, a streak of fish-white had appeared in the eastern sky, but the land to the west was still incomparably dark. Under the still-fading night sky, hundreds of streaks of light swiftly swam through the air like shoals of fish, and then shot towards the defensive wall of the base, causing fireballs to explode.

That was the scene of high-energy cannons gathering fire. This bombardment caused the sound of gunfire from the base to decrease considerably.

While the Fierce Vulture's warriors were holding back the enemy's firepower, a group of about 30 people quickly bypassed the main battle area and drew an arc on the ground. The arrow pointed straight at the carriage entrance and exit in the northwest of the base. Alan stepped into the darkness and sped forward. Several gunshots rang out in his headphones. Then Reese's voice rang out, "The guards have been killed, and the explosion is starting now."

"Be careful." Alan said.

Not long after, there was a flash of fire ahead. Large waves of fire surged up, instantly illuminating the wilderness. By the time Alan led the others to the entrance, the flames had already disappeared, and only the remnants of the flames stubbornly burned on the ground and around the entrance of the passageway. Reese and the Shadow Bobcats' team had already gone deep into the passageway and were responsible for scouting the road. Ellen was afraid that he would lose, so he immediately asked Celine to bring the Black Knights to receive him.

An electronics expert from the Adjudicator stopped by the door and removed a wall panel, exposing the electronic circuits inside. He connected his brain to the base's system through an electronic board. A moment later, he raised his head and said, "Alright, I have control of all the base's surveillance systems."

As a result, the base was unable to hide anything from Alan.

Ellen gestured forward, and the members of the Red Warrior rushed out first. Nocchi stood side by side with his Judge and Alan, while the members of the Silver Heavenly Horse were in charge of the rear of the palace. Although this was the first time the seven hunting teams had worked together, they had a tacit understanding of each other. Alan rushed out and looked back, but Reina did not follow him. Sure enough, he chose to move freely. Alan took a deep breath and pulled his spirit back to focus on this moment.

The invasion went smoothly, and when they encountered a few obstructions along the way, they were swept away by the vanguard of the Black Knights. However, this sudden action seemed to have gone too smoothly. Alan was faintly worried and felt that something was amiss.

At this time, the electronics expert in the adjudicator yi said, "attention, we have a life reaction behind us. It should be enemy soldiers."

Alan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there were pursuers. It was normal to have pursuers. He casually asked, "Quantity?"

"The number is about half a hundred." The electronics expert looked at the brain in his hand. The screen was showing a plan of the flying car passageway. Behind them, dozens of dots of light were closing in, and their speed wasn't slow at all.

Allen looked at the screen. The passage they were in was shaped like a "Feng" shape, with three lateral forks leading to six parking spaces. At present, Alan and the others had already passed through the second crossroad. In another hundred meters, they would arrive at the third crossroad. Allen pointed at the third track and said, "We'll split up here, right and left, and intercept each other."

The order was quickly relayed, and the vanguard team stopped advancing and set up an ambush in front of the crosswalk. Allen and the others did not change their speed. When the crosswalk was in sight, he made a gesture. The red warriors and the pack of wolves turned to the left, while the rest lay in ambush in the opposite direction. Then, he held his breath and waited. Not long after, messy footsteps sounded behind the tunnel. Alan and the others turned off all the light sources, causing the tunnel to become dim. Only the base's red alert lights, which were ten meters away, gave off a faint glow. Alan frowned slightly as he listened to the footsteps.

The sound of footsteps coming from behind was very strange. It was either light or heavy, more or less slow, and it looked chaotic. The Catus had never known what order was, so they naturally could not be expected to charge forward at the same time. However, their weights were roughly the same, and their speed wasn't far off. Even though Mercedes-Benz didn't have any order, it wasn't as messy as it was now.

This question did not last long, and the answer was quickly revealed. When a black shadow flashed across the horizon, Luma's sniper rifle fired first. The powerful Origin Energy sniper bullet directly lifted the dark head, and the impact kinetic energy could cause the opponent to brake backwards. Following that, all the light sources lit up. Twenty magic energy rifles fired from three different directions. The flames of Origin Energy bullets tore through the air, and under this crisscrossed net of fire, the pursuers continued to fall.

A bright red pistol appeared in Allen's hand. When Origin Energy was injected into the pistol, the markings on the pistol lit up one by one, illuminating the pistol like a ball of flame. This was the flame that Capullo had given him, and it was Alan's first time using it. After the Origin Energy bullet was formed, the energy conduction circuit on the pistol flashed, and a Origin Energy bullet immediately spat out from the muzzle of the pistol. The bullet was surrounded by red light, and the middle point was a dazzling blazing white. Amidst the strange sighing sound, the bullet quickly hit an upright human figure. The warhead suddenly emitted an incomparably strong light, illuminating one of the tunnels and exploding with a loud explosion. Large amounts of fire waves were released from the small warhead, instantly covering an area ten meters long and wide, forming a blood-red cloud of fire.

The temperature of the passageway rose sharply, and the surrounding metal walls became even more shockingly hot. As for the area within the fire cloud, there were a few short miserable cries. Then, silent figures burned to death within the fire cloud. The fire cloud lasted for a few seconds, and the flames quickly disappeared. Only then did a cloud of white smoke rise from the ground. The corpses that fell to the ground seemed to have been burned in a furnace. Almost all of them had been burned dry. However, the burning process only lasted for a few seconds. Clearly, it required extremely high temperature flames to accomplish this.

Alan was also a little surprised. Although he had already predicted the power of the blazing flames, a single Blazing Flame Bullet could create such a battle result, but it was quite unexpected. Without a doubt, the magical pistol that Capulo had used was indeed a group weapon.

The battle ended very quickly, but the process was intense and short. After a few sporadic gunshots disappeared, the pursuers were all wiped out. However, looking at these corpses, including Alan, everyone had astonished expressions on their faces.

Regis stabbed the long-haired exotic beast beneath his feet and raised his head, "What are these things?"

"Whatever they are, I'm sure they're not Catus," said Hubble, who was covered in armor. He used his beheading knife to pick open a corpse. It was a humanoid creature with a healthy body, but there was only one strange eye on its head.

Apart from beasts and one-eyed humans, there were also orcs, reptiles, and Aliens. Judging from the strange corpses in this place, it was as if the Catus had even opened a zoo. A strange feeling could not be felt in everyone's hearts.
