--------
The mutated warriors pushed aside the soldiers handling heavy machine guns. They let out howls while lifting the heavy weapon that usually required two people to carry. Bracing against the gun's body and enduring intense pain from the recoil, they fired at the charging alien.
The gun, composed of three sets of numbers and barrels, sprayed bullets furiously at a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, coating the ground around them with orange-yellow casings.
No one dared to say they were wasting bullets. Several other machine guns also relentlessly fired at the alien.
The situation was intense with fierce crossfire while Tang Xuhai stood alone, facing the alien.
Having experience in killing evolved aliens before, he understood their speed, strength, agility, reflexes, and intelligence deeply.
With utmost concentration, Tang Xuhai summoned all his strength to combat the alien.
As the rain intensified, pouring like someone emptied a bucket on his face, Tang Xuhai struggled to maintain focus. Despite the continuous downpour obstructing his vision, he encouraged himself, "It's the same for the alien."
The alien's senses were akin to humans. If he was affected, surely the alien was too.
The sound of splattering rain made Tang Xuhai swiftly roll and then move to avoid the alien's tentacles that swept where he stood just a moment ago.
Without hesitation, wielding his dragon bone dual blades, Tang Xuhai yelled and attacked the alien.
Tang Xuhai struck, the alien dodged, occasionally spewing its tendrils, forcing Tang Xuhai to evade. Their movements were lightning-fast, rain shooting off in different directions as they clashed.
The alien hissed angrily while Tang Xuhai's fighting spirit soared higher, defiantly roaring back.
Despite the alien raising its arm, its footing unstable due to the pooled water, Tang Xuhai seized the opportunity, kicking the alien to the ground. As it lost balance, Tang Xuhai swiftly maneuvered, swiftly severing the alien's arms with precise, rapid slashes.
The alien, lacking emotional control, writhed in pain. Seizing the chance, Tang Xuhai leaped forward, swiftly decapitating the alien.
When the battle ended, Tang Xuhai was splattered with the alien's blood. He tilted his head back, rinsing off the remnants of the fight.
Afterward, crouching down and using a watch for illumination, he examined the alien's footprints.
Despite its overall smoothness, the soles exhibited certain patterns, seemingly designed for friction.
Kicking away the alien's body, Tang Xuhai sneered, "When you all learn to wear non-slip shoes, maybe then you'll rule the Earth."
Tang Xuhai finished dealing with the alien and dashed toward the warehouse center's main gate. In just a short ten minutes of his absence, the defensive structures had been almost completely devastated upon his return.
"How's the casualty situation?" Tang Xuhai surveyed the grim aftermath, inquiring of Captain Xing.
"The casualties among the squad with special abilities are severe, and we've lost several of our soldiers," Captain Xing replied, his expression grim.
Almost half of the newly formed squad with special abilities fell victim to this single alien attack. This was just one alien!
The main issue exposed was the poor adaptability of these individuals with special abilities, severely lacking in teamwork. Shockingly, among the deceased were those killed by friendly fire.
"As for the other one, it was taken down by the special forces," Captain Xing added.
"Wow, that's impressive!" Tang Xuhai complimented.
"Bah! They used up all their ammunition!" Captain Xing rolled his eyes, stating flatly, "Not a single bullet left!"
Despite the heavy losses this time, at least they had thwarted an attack from an evolved alien. Amidst the solemn atmosphere at the warehouse gate, there lingered a sense of relief after the intense battle.
However, Tang Xuhai frowned. He felt the battle ended too abruptly. He addressed Captain Xing, "There aren't any other aliens appearing?"
"None?" Captain Xing replied with certainty, "Perhaps tonight's assault just ended like that?"
As Tang Xuhai pondered, he found it too straightforward for the evolved aliens to organize a direct assault and then repeat it again so simply.
Initially, those eight aliens had shown some strategy, climbing to higher levels, leaping from windows for an aerial assault!
Just as he mulled over this, loud commotion erupted from the warehouse behind them, accompanied by unmistakable screams!
Tang Xuhai's expression shifted, "Oh no! It's an ambush!"
Leaving behind Captain Xing, whose expression mirrored his alarm, Tang Xuhai immediately ran toward the warehouse.
Damn it! Fu Shiwu and Wen Zhaoming are still in there!!
Even these two, whom he had been concerned about, were caught off guard this time.
They had been on guard against intrusions from outside the defense line, but they hadn't expected the sudden appearance of aliens within the warehouse!
How these aliens entered through the underground ducts, bypassing the defense gates and sneaking in through the drainage pipes, was beyond comprehension!
In the pouring rain, the drainage covers were overturned. The aliens emerged in a horde, charging towards the brightly lit warehouse.
This immediately induced panic among the people.
Desperately pushing and shoving to seek refuge, but where could they hide inside the warehouse?
Those closest to the door immediately fell victim to the aliens' assault, bitten and choked.
Fear can induce panic, cloud judgment, and drive individuals to perform desperate acts.
Some pushed others toward the aliens just to gain an extra second of life.
Yet, fear and desperation also fuel anger, prompting a counterattack.
Several transformed individuals, howling, grabbed whatever they could find as weapons and struck at the aliens.
Their attacks were erratic, but due to their strength, they quickly caused casualties among the aliens, igniting a spark of resistance among the onlookers.
Many evolved beings continued pouring in, and Fu Shiwu and Wen Zhaoming dared not make any sudden movements. If even one of these aliens spotted them, they'd be swallowed by the tide of aliens.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions and gunshots resounded, limbs of the continuously surging aliens were scattered.
The military reinforcements bolstered the people's confidence. Simultaneously, the gathered mutants and individuals with special abilities also rushed to the scene. Soon, the warehouse center turned into a chaotic battlefield.
Fu Shiwu and Wen Zhaoming, now feeling safe enough, left their concealed position to launch an assault against the aliens.
Wen Zhaoming conjured fireballs, each precisely targeting the aliens. Despite being extinguished quickly by the rain, they burnt the aliens' surfaces severely.
The aliens, lacking patience, howled in pain, severely hindered in their movements. This presented an opportunity for both mutants and regular people to strike back.
Fu Shiwu remained intensely focused, almost single-handedly knocking down the aliens one after another with his gun, each bullet hitting their heads accurately.
His precise headshot rate drew gasps of amazement from those who happened to notice.
The special forces penetrated the battlefield, dividing and conquering the aliens. Meanwhile, some survivors organized themselves to neutralize the transformed beings, several people teaming up against a single alien. Despite
some casualties, this tactic proved effective.
The soldiers ran out of ammunition, resorting to using bayonets and real firearms. Despite the adversity, their coordinated movements and teamwork aided their progress.
"Fu Shiwu! Where are you?!" Tang Xuhai's voice faintly carried over.
"Over here!" Fu Shiwu put down his gun, his eyes lighting up, calling out toward the voice.
Beside him stood Wen Zhaoming, and amidst the chaos, Fu Shiwu couldn't possibly leave him alone. The two stuck together, eliminating the aliens from different directions.
Hearing the call, Tang Xuhai found them. The three formed a triangle, back-to-back, engaging with the aliens closing in on them.
Despite numerical superiority, humanity's innate disadvantage without weapons made them falter. Moreover, the military lacked heavy firepower, possessing only grenades and the bullets in their pistols.
It wouldn't be enough to take down this many aliens.
Gradually, regular people either died or sought opportunities to flee the combat center, seeking refuge.
The streets of the warehouse center were a battleground for humans and aliens.
If things continued this way, maybe humanity would eventually prevail. However, how could the evolved aliens relinquish such a delicious meal?
Finally revealing themselves from among the alien masses, the evolved aliens pounced towards several identified as dangerous targets!
"Watch out!!" Fu Shiwu shouted without looking back, "Take them down!"
