Chapter 800: Chapter 464: Reinforcements

In the northern city of Yanyun, battles were raging everywhere.

The scale of the fighting was the most intense since the disaster fog had unfolded.

Five slaughter squads and seven Safe Zones were subjected to high-density attacks from the Terror Devil groups.

Players fought in the streets and between high-rise buildings, while gunfire and shouting shook the sky in the Safe Zones.

For a time, it seemed as if the decisive moment for humanity’s fate had come.

Yet other Safe Zones remained eerily quiet. Some players planned to go out and provide support, only to discover that danger was lurking everywhere.

The joint plan of the robot factory had succeeded in the end.

It managed to unite the scattered Terror Devils into a cohesive force.

Otherwise, the individual Terror Devils acting alone or fighting each other would have relieved much pressure on humanity.

For example, the God’s Chosen Xue Shen, who was besieged and killed.

For example, the Abyssal Worm hunted down by both the Insect Race and humans.

For example, the overwhelming zombie virus at the beginning.

If these creatures had cooperated consciously, not giving humans a chance to besiege them, the human situation would have been even more desperate.

Actually, at the very beginning, humans had an advantage.

The non-cooperating Terror Devils were consumed in large numbers in their attacks on the Safe Zones.

And those powerful Terror Devils were also besieged by the slaughter squads.

This greatly reduced the overall strength of the Terror Devils.

Even the most powerful Terror Devils had to temporarily avoid the sharp edges when faced with a slaughter squad composed entirely of LV10 and above strongmen.

Not to mention, the outside support could appear at any time through the Dream Cruise. In this situation, once the Terror Devils were besieged by players, they had only one path to death.

Compared with the united humans, they were fighting alone at that time.

Even powerful Terror Devils like the Crying Hero and the Faceless Man had to retreat when besieged, let alone others.

Among these Terror Devils, only the Insect Queen and the robot factory were a bit troublesome. One had a vast number and the other evolved rapidly. Ordinary besieging couldn’t do anything to them.

Unfortunately, this period was too short.

If it could last for a month, the 400,000 Terror Devils would probably be reduced to just a few of them.

Now, this advantage was gone. The Terror Devils had begun to unite.

Though there was no very detailed command, under the coordination of the robot factory, they were already causing great pressure on humans.

Actually, the Terror Devils’ idea was simple. They wanted to protect those with special abilities, like the Hunger Horror and the Plague Horror. As long as they were alive, they could effectively weaken human strength.

Therefore, after the Plague Horror appeared, huge quantities of Terror Devils began to block the search of human players.

As a result, the battle erupted.

Each of the usually hard-to-track powerful Terror Devils now took the initiative to approach the slaughter squads.

If this had happened earlier, the slaughter squads would have been happy to start hunting. Their strength was remarkable, and besieging a Terror Devil was within their capabilities.

However, the appearance of those Terror Devils at this moment was not a happy occasion, because they came together... and they were accompanied by those less rational Terror Devils.

As a result, the fighting far exceeded expectations. The slaughter squads encountered attacks and obstructions from the Terror Devils, and the Safe Zones were also harassed by the demons.

In a ruined building, sporadic flames flickered.

A wounded player used the light to fix his broken right hand. A space ripple shimmered in his hand, and a plant similar to aloe vera appeared, melting into the wound.

While he gasped in pain from the cold, he asked, "So, does this mean we won’t have reinforcements either?"

"That’s more or less the idea," sighed another player, who then began coughing: "Cough, cough, cough... We’ve almost reached the Plague Horror but failed to kill it. Instead, we got infected with the virus. We’re now like lost souls, unable to return to the Safe Zone."

"Of course, there are places we can go. Those three sealed Safe Zones are basically like quarantine rooms. But if we go back, who will be able to trap the Plague Horror?" A player shook his head in pain due to lung damage, "We have to kill it, or else the newcomers will only be infected one by one. Humanity’s fighting force is already limited. After being infected, we all end up like how you and I are now. How can we fight the Terror Devils?"

They were a five-player slaughter squad, each above LV10.

Some excelled in frontal combat, some in stealth assassinations, and some in tracking.

They rushed to the battlefield as soon as they received their Tasks.

Fortunately, they managed to pinpoint the general location of the Plague Horror.

Unfortunately, large numbers of Terror Devils appeared and directly blocked their advance, even scattering them at one point.

If it weren’t for the timely arrival of the volunteers within the Dream Cruise, this squad might have been ground to death alive.

Now, they hid in these ruins. Although the five of them had killed hundreds of Terror Devils, the price was not small.

At this moment, almost everyone was injured.

Moreover, except for one player with a high Physique and strong immunity, the rest of them were infected with the virus.

During the fight, they coughed up blood for no reason and even felt difficulty breathing.

Although relying on various skills and passives, they didn’t lose their ability to move like ordinary people. However, their fighting capacity had significantly decreased.

Even so, they still understood the current situation.

Even if they broke through successfully, they couldn’t leave this place.

They had to lock down the Terror Devils firmly to strive for the next support action of the Dream Cruise.

Due to the characteristics of the disaster fog, humans would be marked after staying in the fog for an hour.

Thus, the support of the Dream Cruise couldn’t accumulate more than one hour in the disaster fog.

Every supporting player’s time had to be carefully allocated.

They never engaged in pointless battles.

Unless it was an emergency, they generally would not step in.

The volunteers who had just rescued them did just that. Once they made sure they were out of danger, they were immediately pulled back by the Dream Cruise. There was no delay.

They also didn’t go looking for the Plague Horror, as doing so would waste the already limited time.

This was the Task of the slaughter squad.

Therefore, even in their current predicament, they hadn’t thought of escaping.

While chasing the Plague Horror, they had already anticipated that they would be infected.

If they left, the next group of players would still be infected.

This would consume the strength of humans in the disaster fog.

A Champion-level player had even caught the disease, greatly reducing his combat power. He was almost killed by the Terror Devils.

"Cough..." The player who had spoken first said, "Is it really impossible to find a group of Physique-based players within the disaster fog?"

Currently, only players with a Physical Attribute of 13 points or above were immune to the virus infection.

Only they could enter the northern city safely without being affected.

It would be even more dangerous for others to come.

"There are some. I know one, but he is in Safe Zone No.5 in the south of the city. However, all the Safe Zones are being harassed by the Terror Devils right now. I don’t think he can make it," sighed another player. "I hope the officials can organize a team with enough Physique-based players soon. The Faceless Man is not easy to deal with."
