Chapter 437 - Ambush  

As Ma Keyu looked in the direction pointed by the player, he witnessed a patch of scarlet appear at the end of the road, and his heart couldn’t help but clench. He thought, “No Way? ”

“Damn it! It’s the Lickers! ” a player immediately recognized the terrifying red and shouted.

The scarlet Lickers pounced at the players from all directions and approached at an extremely fast speed.

“Quick! Set up a formation on the spot! ”

“It’s too late! Run! ”

The players were flustered by the large-scale attack by the Lickers. For a moment, they were a little confused. They thought, “What the hell? ! Weren’t we supposed to completely destroy the Scavenger Army? Why were we ambushed instead? ”

Unfortunately, they encountered the mutated Lickers in the wild and did not have any cover to protect them.

Ma Keyu couldn’t help but lie down on his side with cold sweat running down his face.

That meant that they were not far from free rebirth!

A few players threw several flashbangs in all directions to delay the Lickers’ attack speed.

Ma Keyu quickly looked around, trying to find a way to break out of the situation and survive.

He then noticed that there was a gap on the right side of the Lickers’ encirclement.

“Quick! Over There! ” Ma Keyu shouted and immediately led his team to retreat toward the gap.

The team found a glimmer of hope and immediately retreated to the side of the road.

“Look! There’s a building over there! ” a player pointed to an abandoned observation platform not far away and shouted.

Ma Keyu also saw the observation platform and immediately felt a sense of joy. “Quick! Occupy the building and set up a defensive line! ”

Several players who were at the front of the team ran to the abandoned observation platform. One of them took out their rifle and was about to break open the main door.

He never expected that when he raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the lock of the door, the door would be pushed open from the inside.

Then, the muzzle of a black shotgun extended out from the door.

Boom! Boom!

Two shots from the front!

The player did not have time to react and fell to the ground.

“Hahaha! Commander Fang Heng was right! There are really people who want to die! I have been waiting for you here for a long time! ” Roche laughed excitedly.

“All of you, attack! Brothers! Crush them! ” He rushed into the crowd of players with his team, all of them possessing bloodshot eyes like a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey.

In an open-field battle, the Lickers and the crazed Scavenger Army were the strongest!

“It’s the Scavenger Army! ” The moment he saw Roche and the others, Ma Keyu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

In a hurry, the Holy Paladin Gaming Guild players could not organize an effective counterattack.

In just five minutes, the entire guild was wiped out, and not a single player was left.

Roche’s body was full of bullet holes.

Blood kept flowing out of the bullet holes, and he looked like a bloodthirsty demon.

Feeling a little weak, Roche raised his head and gulped down three bottles of warlord potions.

As the muscles in his body squirmed, his wounds immediately stopped bleeding and quickly healed.

The other members of the Scavenger Army also gulped down the warlord potion and quickly recovered.

Before they could tidy up the battlefield, a member of the Scavenger Army rushed up.

“Captain Roche! There’s another wave of enemies ahead! There are so many of them! ”

“Captain! What if we don’t have enough explosives? ”

“F*ck! What a coward! ” Roche spat on the ground and poured another bottle of warlord potion into his mouth. “Then we don’t have to fight them with explosives! Remember what the boss said! As long as we can hold them off, it’ll be counted as our first achievement! ! ”

Under the effects of the warlord potion, the team spirit of the team led by Roche remained extremely high.

“Yes! ! ”

In the distance, on a high hillside, using binoculars, the deputy commander of Leftway Gaming Guild, Zhong Lei, witnessed the scene of Holy Paladin Gaming Guild being wiped out. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he exclaimed inwardly, “That was close! ”

Fortunately, Leftway Gaming Guild did not rashly listen to the Federation’s words and directly lead a team to support the Dark Knights.

Otherwise, their current situation would not be much better than the Holy Paladin Gaming Guild’s.

Tian Zhen stood at the side and could not help but sneer in his heart, “Hah! The Federation! That old fox Kou Huai! He deliberately let the first few waves of players clear the mine area before the Federation’s main support force’s arrival. It’s clear as day that Kou Huai schemed this! ”

“Guild leader, what should we do next? ”

Tian Zhen snorted coldly in his heart. He then said, “Just sit tight and do nothing. Send someone to tell the Federation that our people were ambushed by the Scavenger Army halfway and suffered serious injuries. Hence, we have no choice but to withdraw. We will inform them of our battle losses at a later time. ”

Zhong Lei nodded and responded, “Yes! Understood! ”

…

Meanwhile, at the main battlefield where the Dark Knights’ branch was.

The light canons and automatic canons on the periphery of the fortress continued to fire.

The Tyrant forms that were the first to absorb the enemy’s firepower were severely injured.

The Scavenger Army soldiers mostly used close-range weapons, so their long-range combat power was very weak.

They could only rely on the zombie team to make up for it.

At the back of the team, Fang Heng, who was commanding the entire battle, had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

At the same time, Fang Heng had to be 100% focused on controlling the reinforcements on the front and side of the battlefield.

Ni Shengtao and Osborne stood behind Fang Heng. They were even more nervous than usual.

The battle had already entered its most intense phase. The battlefield was like a meat grinder, reaping the lives of both armies.

The number of deaths had increased greatly.

Osborne received some news from the rear and reported to Fang Heng, “Commander, there’s news from Roche. A large number of players have rushed over to support the Dark Knights. They’re suspected to be the Federation players that you mentioned. ”

“Mm, Ni Shengtao, bring the remaining people over to support them. You must stop the Federation’s people. You don’t have to wipe them out, but you must not let them get close. Do you understand? ”

Ni Shengtao said in a deep voice, “I understand! ”

Fang Heng turned around and looked at the battlefield in front of him.

The battle was undoubtedly a battle of attrition. It would depend on who could last until the end.

More than half of the Tyrant forms had been damaged.

The opponent’s light cannons’ muzzles had also entered an overheated state and could not continue to be operated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the remaining five Tyrant forms that were close to the bottom of the fortress raised their fists and crazily smashed at the outer wall.

It was time!

Once the enemy’s damage output was all directed at the Tyrant forms, the zombie team on the right side finally found an opportunity and quietly approached the front of the main building.

Fang Heng spent a lot of effort controlling the zombies to block the muzzles of the cannons.

The moment their HP dropped below 10% , they self-destructed.

“Blood explosion! Blood Explosion! ! ! ”

Boom! Boom, boom! ! !

The damage caused by the self-destruction of the zombie corpses was apparent. Every time, it would cause the overall HP of the fortress to drop by a large chunk!

However, carefully controlling every single zombie clone to self-destruct would consume too much energy.

Fang Heng was extremely focused. He raised his head and gulped down bottles of coffee as he stared at the game log.

The overall defense of the fortress was only left with less than a third!

Just a little more would do!
