Chapter 804: Chapter 468: One Man’s Reinforcements

North of Yanyun city, Tongbei Road Furniture City.

This was the largest furniture city in Yanyun, usually bustling with pedestrians and customers, extraordinarily lively.

But at this moment, the furniture city in the night was also bustling.

A large black bird with a wingspan of nearly seven meters hovered over the furniture city, followed closely by hundreds of ravens with sharp beaks and talons.

Just the crows alone, swarming in, could devour an adult completely in under two minutes.

On the ground, a small giant with the head of an elephant casually picked up a sedan parked by the roadside and smashed it into the furniture city, shattering a makeshift automated sentry gun that was firing fiercely.

Besides, there were a large number of various forms of Terror Devils screaming around.

The streets, once extraordinarily lively, had already turned into a Ghost Eel.

Inside the furniture city, three players from the slaughter squad were resisting the Terror Devils that had invaded the building.

The tiles had long been covered with blood and bits of flesh, turning it into a grinder that reduced the Terror Devils into corpses.

Seizing the right moment, a player punched and shattered the head of a Terror Devil, quickly retreated, and threw out a piece of C4.

Then, there was a loud bang, and the safe passage of the furniture city collapsed thunderously.

This also created a hard-earned chance for the three to rest.

Coughing, they retreated and hid in a room inside the furniture city.

Long battles had nearly drained their physical strength value and energy value, and they had to quickly regain their combat effectiveness.

"How long till Dream Cruise support?" a player asked while coughing and painfully clutching his chest.

"Cough Cough Cough... Stop thinking about it, less than ten minutes have passed. We have to wait at least another twenty minutes!" Another player was wearing a Great Wall Windbreaker, clearly a member of the officials. He sighed and shook his head, "Dream Cruise, it always takes half an hour to activate. Last time, to help us hold off the main force of the Terror Devils, the other teams did not call for support at random... We can’t count on it."

"The enemy clearly wants to grind us to death here," said the player after swallowing a few pills, clutching his chest, ".... If it were usual times, the three of us combined could have fought our way out. But now, fighting has become too difficult for us."

"Plague Horror is moving towards the middle of the city... We have to hold it here to create opportunities for the other squads," the official player sighed.

The number of outside Terror Devils was indeed large, but for the three at their peak, it wouldn’t be hard to break out.

The three seemed to have only superficial skin wounds, but each breath felt like a blade stabbing into their tracheas, causing immense pain.

This was the ability of Plague Horror; they were actually patients suffering from a severe disease at this moment.

If not for their special abilities or higher Physique, they would have already become immobile, needing to be sustained by an oxygen machine.

Normally, they should have retreated to the quarantine point. But they were still planning to hold this area.

Because the Plague Horror was moving towards the center of the city!

With its ability, once it entered the central area of the city, a large number of Safe Zones would be affected. That would be a disaster.

The Terror Devils must have sensed the difficulty of protecting the Plague Horror and planned to disrupt as many Safe Zones as possible before the players could act.

If that happened, the fighting power of the players would drastically decrease, and non-player combatants would basically have no combat effectiveness. Then, humanity would be...

So, five slaughter squads quickly responded, intending to lock the still-moving Plague Horror within a certain range. Then, with the support of outside artillery or Dream Cruise support, the Plague Horror could be eliminated.

The five squads advanced from five directions to ensure that the Plague Horror wouldn’t detour and leave.

This place was also to hold the route of the Plague Horror’s advance.

Once the Plague Horror approached, they would use all their tricks to kill it.

Unfortunately, the Terror Devils had already seen through this point. So, the offensive here was also the strongest.

Originally, there were seven players defending this area.

But as the fight escalated, the team got scattered.

So much so that only these three returned to defend the furniture city.

The situation could hardly be considered ideal.

"Tell me, why didn’t I choose Physique at that time?" the player who spoke first said painfully, "Otherwise it wouldn’t be so frustrating."

Because of the sickness, he couldn’t exert full effort. He couldn’t even fight for an extended period.

"Forget it, even your main body’s Physique might not be able to break through the Terror Devil horde," said the official player, shaking his head, then he added earnestly, "Other Terror Devils are not to be feared, but the real trouble is those three..."

Sky Burial Crows, the Elephant Head Demon.

And the one lurking in the shadows, the Faceless Man!

These three are the most troublesome Terror Devils.

The Sky Burial Crow is a legendary creature from a certain plot world. It’s said that the locals would lay the deceased in the wilderness for the crows to feast upon.

Through this method, they believed the souls of the dead would find peace.

As a result, the creature’s whole body is full of corpse poison, and they are also social creatures.

Players can easily be caught off guard, especially by that large crow, whose sharp claws and beak are capable of tearing through Rare-grade armor.

As for the Elephant Head Demon... a general of the Demon King in a certain Instance, with thousands of demons under its command and a countless number of people slaughtered. It is the most loathed entity in that Instance.

It has a rough skin and immense strength. Although it doesn’t have any particularly unique abilities, these two aspects alone are enough to cause a headache.

These can still be dealt with. The players have extensive combat experience, and without other Terror Devils interfering, killing them would not be difficult.

But the most dangerous Terror Devil is hiding in the shadows.

That’s the Faceless Man!

Even if the players are not affected by the Plague Horror, they are not confident they can kill him.

The Faceless Man is said to be a powerful character with Divinity from a high-level Republic of China Instance!

His abilities are extremely special. Although he has no face, he can change masks to acquire different abilities.

An enemy that can switch abilities at will is too difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, as a Terror Devil, his abilities are limited. He cannot use the more powerful masks.

However, even with his abilities restricted,

he managed to scatter our team.

First, he used the thunderbolt mask to cast lightning, driving the players back. Then, he switched to the Lv Bu mask and engaged in close combat with two players.

In the end, he donned the Li Yuanba mask and grievously injured two players with a single hammer blow. Along the way, he smashed a residential house too.

It was precisely because the Faceless Man was lurking in the shadows that the three players were so handicapped, otherwise they would have found an opportunity to kill the Sky Burial Crow and the Elephant Head Demon long ago.

"I just hope that the reinforcements can arrive quickly. I... can’t hold on much longer," the player coughed softly as he spoke, spitting blood. The official player saw the blood on his palm.

He’s already coughing up blood, he’s indeed not going to last much longer... the official player sighed inwardly.

As a member of the official team, he naturally knew the progress of the reinforcements.

The supporters have to traverse the city from their respective Safe Zones, meet up, and then proceed to the north of the city. This is going to take some time.

He wondered if the three of them could wait that long.

The support from Dream Cruise hasn’t arrived yet, and the other teams are also half-dead from the Terror Devils’ torment.

With the next charge of the Terror Devils, themselves three are probably...

Forget it, the supporters are very strong, and they are all experts with main bodies of great Physique. They can ignore the abilities of the Plague Horror.

They should be able to kill the Plague Horror. As long as the Plague Horror is killed, all this would be worth it.

If I die... so be it, he thought to himself.

However, at that moment, the sole player who had not spoken, the one with high energy, suddenly looked up, his tone filled with surprise, "The reinforcements are here..."

The player coughing up blood had a spark of light in his eyes, and even the official player’s face lit up with joy.

But they quickly realized something was amiss.

"No, at this time, the reinforcements should not have managed to meet up yet," said the official player, checking the time and his expression changed, he immediately asked, "How many people have come?"

The high-energy player had a hard-to-read expression on his face.

The reinforcements consisted of just one person.
