Chapter 127 Fierce Battle 2

"Can we use our guns!?" A lady screamed in fear as she continued to swing her sword. Her tremble and face were pallid as blood dripped from her palm. She wanted to stop swinging her sword and take a rest but she dared not.

With a tired face, she looked at Mack for assistance as the swamp of Shadow Cockroaches almost buried her.

"Hold on and don't use your rifle." Mack sent a shadow veil cockroach flying with a powerful punch.

But immediately, another cockroach attacked him, giving him no time to rest. Mack was furious as he couldn't understand where the continuous stream of cockroaches was coming from. He gnashed his teeth as he made a difficult decision.

"Earth Vibration." He muttered as he punched the ground.

Boom!

A powerful vibration spread from the earth toward the cockroaches and sent them flying. While he fell on his knee and bled continuously from his mouth and nose.

He shook his head from dizziness and struggled to stand up with a trembling leg. His forceful use of his ability under nightmare suppression gave him serious backlashes as he had turned into an ordinary person.

'I can't use my ability again.' He sighed bitterly as staggered toward the lady that was surrounded.

He gnashed his teeth and sent powerful punches toward the cockroaches. In a couple of seconds, all the cockroaches had been and he walked slowly toward the lady that was close to having a mental breakdown from the attack.

"W-Well did," Mack said as he forced out a smile.

"Thank— Thank you…" She replied with a trembling voice as her body was covered in perspiration.

Screech!

A loud screech of cockroaches came from the distance and the expression of both Mack and the lady changed immediately.

"Let's join the others," Mack said with a solemn face.

Ah! Ah!

A group of ordinary people was bitten to death by a gang of cockroaches as they devoured them into a pile of bones in a matter of seconds.

"Die! Die!" Grandpa Philip swung his polearm and sent all the cockroaches eating the men and women flying.

His face reddened as veins protruded from his forehead. He looked at the skeleton of the dead people and sighed.

'This can't continue we need to move.' He thought.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A deafening sound of bullets echoed from the tunnel as everywhere was silent for a moment, turning in the bullet direction.

'Who the fuck uses his gun!?' Grandpa Philip was furious as he clenched his polearm and his chest rose and fell.

Screech!

The scream of the cockroaches shook the tunnel as debris fell and land trembled.

"Who shot the gun!" Justin's cold voice came from the radio.

All the people holding a radio shivered slightly when they heard Justin's cold voice. For a couple of seconds, no one answered the question.

"I asked, who dares to shoot?"

"We don't know yet?" Sergio responded slowly as he creased his brow. "But the person is from my group?"

"Good…. Good…. Good…" Justin said good three times and the heart of the people thumped as they heard the good.

The meaning of good was bad.

"Everyone should start moving immediately," Justin said in a solemn tone.

"But sir…"

'',

"I don't care how you do it. Get moving, Now!" Justin said sternly.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of bullets echoed once again and the leader of each group sweats and clenched their fist.

Who are these morons!? They cursed in their heart.

Quickly, the group began to attack the cockroaches furiously as they tried to force a path out from the cluster of cockroaches.

At the forefront of the group, Susan's body was covered in sweat as her whip danced back and forth, sending the cockroaches flying. Yet, under the powerful attack, the cockroaches didn't falter as they replaced their dead comrade.

"When I kill them, we move." She shouted to the men beside her.

"Alright." They chorused as they stabbed the cockroaches with their black spear. These were not ordinary; they were spears made by Chloe's research. A tier 2 common spear. Though it was quite heavy, the people had no choice but to use it as their life depended on it.

"Lightning world," Susan screamed.

Her whip danced forward as a flash of powerful lightning surrounded dozens of cockroaches and sent them flying.

Boom!

The tunnel shook under the powerful attack, scaring the people a bit. But when they heard Susan's cold voice they woke up from their stupor.

"Move!"

The group moves forward slowly as Susan uses the same skill every time to clear the path. The cockroaches were furious as they tried to attack the group but the powerful lightning electrocuted them before they had any chance of getting closer. While those that were lucky to escape from the lightning attack met their end from the spears.

In the middle of the group, Howard, Jordan, and Ashley were fighting the cockroaches as they urged the people to move faster.

Ah!

Ashley held her left arm as it bled vehemently. She stumbled back as she tried to maintain her footing. She fixed her gaze on the cockroach that cut her arm and a sharp glint appeared on her face.

"Die!" She screamed as she pierce the cockroach's head with her spear.

Screech!

The cockroach made a slight sound and fell to the ground, lifelessly. Seeing this, Ashley took a deep breath and looked at the deep cut on her arm.

"Fuck!" she screamed.

She looked at the group of people moving with nervousness and was furious.

"Will you fucking move or you want me to feed you to the beast?" She yelled.

Hmm!

The heart of the people shook and their muscles constricted. They looked at Ashley in panic. Quickly, they began to push each other to move.

Seeing this, Howard and Jordan looked at each other and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

"You need to attend to your injury," Howard said to Ashley as he pin the cockroach to the wall.

"I know. But if I leave this section. You won't be able to handle the cockroaches." Ashley replied as she withdrew her spear from the dead cockroach.

Howard wanted to retort but had nothing to say. The continuous stream of cockroaches was giving the three some headache but if she was to leave. Then, the situation would turn direr than this.

"Then, stop the bleeding first before another round of cockroaches appears."

? Ashley nodded as she tore a piece of cloth from her cloth and wrapped it on her left arm before it was tied tightly.

Meanwhile, Justin stood on a mountain of dead cockroaches as his weapon danced back and forth between the continuous stream of cockroaches.

He had lost count on how many cockroaches he had killed. If he had stopped the flow of cockroaches, the group would have long been covered in cockroaches as he had dealt with the powerful Third Circle existence among the cockroaches.

Bang!

'',

He sent another round of cockroaches into smithereens as he took a deep breath. He spread his perception to the limit and noticed that the cockroaches are retreating.

'What's going on.' He thought as he knotted his brow.

'Are the cockroaches on your side retreating?' He asked Susan through the soul link.

'Yes. They are retreating quickly. What's going on?' she asked.

'I don't know and I don't want to know. Get everyone here now.' He answered.

On Susan's side when she heard Justin's solemn tone. She knew something major was about to happen.

"All teams, move your group quickly. Anyone that fails to move. Leave them behind." She said to her radio.

At once, the atmosphere inside the tunnel changed. The team leader of each group looked at the people around them and shouted orders.

"Move everyone. If you can't move, this will be your home from now on." Howard shouted.

At the back, Grandpa Philip was shouting the order quickly. Those moving the carts sweat bullets as they move the carts with all their strength.

Who wants to be left behind?

Boom!

The tunnel shook and the land vibrated as a powerful face swept the tunnel.

Huh!

What was that!?

The people cried in their hearts as they were panic-stricken. Some were muttering they shouldn't have left the shelter.

Pa!

A middle-aged man was sent flying with a powerful slap. He crashed onto the tunnel and slid down slowly as blood streaked out from his mouth and nose.

"If you dare to say nonsense again. It will be your death." Chloe said furiously.

Everyone watched the scene with their mouths ajar. They looked at the smiling Chloe and shivered.

Scary!

"Are you going to continue staring at me without moving?" She said as she continued to smile.

At once, they rush forward as they swallow the lump in their throat. What a devil.

A smiling devil!

Boom!

The sound echoed once again but it was closer to the group. Everyone was scared as they searched for the sound direction but failed as the sound echoed from every direction.

After a couple of minutes, the group arrived at Justin's location and breathed a sigh of relief. But when they saw the mountain of cockroaches, their heart missed a beat.

Oh boy!

"Don't stop, keep moving," Justin shouted.

Susan looked at Justin for a moment before she led the group forward, deeper into the tunnel.

Justin carried the unconscious Pipe man and gave Chloe. Seeing the ghastly injuries on Pipe man's body. She shook her head and sighed.

Hiss

A hissing sound came from the back of the group as two lantern eyes looked at the departing group and opened its mouth, showing it purple fangs.
