  Lingyi silently retreated from the rooftop and came to the floor below. It was a teaching building, and they were currently in a classroom. The classroom was mostly destroyed, but there was still less than half of it intact. A few blocks of boulders were stacked together to support their weight. They fixed the other half of the boulders and steel bars to make room for the rest of the group to rest.

  A few fluorescent rods were folded over each other and placed quietly in the middle of the crowd. The dim yellow light illuminated the area within ten meters, but most of the area had already been blended into the darkness. He began to eat the Nutrient Su on his hands little by little, converting them into the energy needed for battle.

  The rest of the people were doing similar things. From leaving Remot until now, they had already been active for nearly ten hours. Even those with the ability Zero were feeling tired, let alone the servants like Agatha.

  Three of the servants were assigned to be on guard, while the rest of the servants fell to the ground and slept soundly. But they didn't have much time to sleep, just ten minutes each. When the time came, they had to wake up and take turns being vigilant.

  The servants could sleep, but the rest of them couldn't. After silently eating all of Su's nutrients, Zero drank another drop of the water coagulant. As the drop fell into his stomach, his dry lips became moist again. His gaze swept across the other people's faces. Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, he said, "That thing must be destroyed. Now!"

  When he left the roof, and came to the classroom, Zero had already reported everything he saw in the University City to Avenot through the communication device. It was obvious that the meat mountain like corpulent cadaver was a moving weapon factory, and the normal living corpse was the material and energy source. Out of the four types of living corpse s that were produced, Zero had already seen the first type. The second type of wolf-beast like living corpse should be biological gun s; the next type of human-shaped living corpse was of unknown use. As for the last type of human-shaped living corpse, Zero was sure that they were the commanders.

  If the University City that was already covered by the nerve carbuncle could be said to be a huge information terminal, then the human-shaped living corpse that was created in the end was the node that received the information. The intelligent life was still nowhere to be seen, but he had his own ways of giving orders to the corpulent cadaver, which he would then pass on to the commanders at the frontlines, in order to adjust the tactics of the living corpse's army.

  This was a set of systematic and concealed information dissemination technology, the commander's appearance was almost no different from a normal living corpse. At the very least, it was not an easy thing to differentiate them in the face of a vast number of living corpse on the battlefield. As such, it would be extremely difficult to destroy the command system of the living corpse.

  What made the human side more troubled was the corpulent cadaver on the track and field. As long as the mother beast-like weapon factory was here, the new living corpse would continue to be produced. With the appearance of the biological gun, it was obvious that the living corpse was planning to occupy the University City and turn it into a stronghold of the living corpse, or perhaps a supply station that could attack human territories.

  No matter what it was, the corpulent cadaver had to be killed, or else the army that was attacking the Remot would get an unending supply!

  Everyone, including Agatha, agreed with the zero decision.

  During their previous conversation with Avenot, they had heard the continuous sounds of gunfire coming from the other side of the communication device. It was living corpse who had attacked again. This caused the violent energy movements around the Remot to suddenly stop the communication. The few of them could not get any new orders, and could only make their own decisions.

  And the destruction of the corpulent cadaver was the same as destroying the weapons factory of the living corpse, making it unable to replenish its new type of troops. As for the common high level monsters from the living corpse and the butchers, they wouldn't be difficult for, who was stationed in the Remot, to deal with.

  Now that the target had been set, the next step was to draw up a battle plan. Agatha placed her own intelligence brain s on the ground, and a map of the University City appeared on the screen. On the map, the track and field was marked with an eye-catching dot, representing their target. As for the surrounding buildings, they were covered with broken white spots, and these things represented the biological gun that occupied the highest points.

  There were five gray dots on the map. There was a question mark in the middle of the gray dot, and it was the corpse of the beast that had disappeared.

  As for the number of ordinary living corpse who were reduced to food, it could be ignored by Su Yun and his friends. What they were more concerned about was the biological gun at the highest point. They could imagine that when they attacked the corpulent cadaver, those things would definitely not be as simple as decorations.

  Therefore, biological gun must be eliminated before they attack. There was no need for much, as long as they could destroy the cannon emplacements near the track and field, there were more than twenty of them. During the distribution of missions, the task of dismantling the cannons fell onto Agatha and Ma Pei. The former's fighting strength was limited, but the latter's abilities were limited in this small scale battlefield, so he took the initiative to take charge of the mission.

  As for Johnny, Jonah and Agatha's servants, they were temporarily given to Zero to command. Agatha would put the time bomb on the cannon emplacement. When it exploded, it would attract the attention of the living corpse and at the same time, it would be the time for them to launch a strong attack.

  The other five Adepts, including Zero, were inclined to have offensive abilities. With the help of the slave warriors, even if the five corpse beasts appeared, they would still be able to kill the entire corpulent cadaver. And this operation, had to be carried out before the second wave of biological weapon was produced in the end of corpulent cadaver, if not Su Yun and the others would not be facing just ordinary living corpse s and human faced corpse beasts.

  "Then, let's do it..."

  Zero stood up. Since the tasks had already been assigned, then it was time to act. But at the end of his words, Agatha seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked towards the window. The next moment, an explosion came from outside the window. With a slight change in his expression, Zero threw himself at the window. From the window whose frame had been shattered, he could see that the southwest corner of track and field had been blown away.

  Crushed rocks mixed with steel bars jumped into the air and rained down like a storm. However, the explosion still did not stop. A few beams of energy wrapped around the electric snakes continued to come in from the outside, blasting the track and field's walls and even the corner of the spectator stands into dust.

  In the midst of the drifting dust and smoke, numerous figures could be seen. At the same time that explosions occurred one after another, the biological gun at a high point near the track and field also started to work. The eyes of the dead wolves suddenly glowed red. If one stood close enough, it was not difficult to notice that the light in the wolves' eyes seemed to be following a certain pattern, as if they had received some kind of instruction.

  Following which, the twenty or so cannon emplacements turned around at the same time and aimed at the ball of dust curling around the corner of the wall. In the next moment, dots of red light condensed in the wolf's mouth. After storing up energy for a moment, a fiery red beam of light shot straight towards the target.

  The beam of light moved soundlessly and quickly. He left the muzzle of the cannon and shot into the smoke in the blink of an eye. As a result, balls of fireballs exploded out, causing endless explosions. The ground of track and field shook violently, almost like an earthquake!

  The biological gun shot three times consecutively before t
he attacks finally came to a temporary stop. Streams of hot smoke rose from the mouth of the wolf that served as the cannon. The biological gun was currently undergoing the necessary procedures to dissipate the heat for the standby.

  The southwest corner of the track and field was already in ruins. The wind gradually blew the thick smoke away, revealing the remains of the buildings that were covered in flames. Not only was the energy beam released by the biological gun extremely powerful, it also carried a high temperature. The area that it had bombarded was charred black. However, after the smoke cleared, a figure appeared in the middle of the ruins.

  Huge shields, each about two meters tall, were stacked on top of each other, forming a three-dimensional shield formation. Even after enduring three rounds of attacks from biological gun, the giant shields did not deform or damage, but instead emitted white smoke with a high temperature. The huge shield was made of composite material, and the inside of the shield was covered with complex, beautiful patterns. These patterns were definitely not as simple as decorations, they also had the function of diverting energy.

  If not for this, the shield would have disintegrated under the biological gun's bombardment.

  At this moment, the shield array moved, revealing a gap. In this gap, there were several flashes of light that were like cannons that shot out. Lightning flashed several times, each striking a few cannon emplacements high up in the air. Under the impact of the current of energy, the turret cracked, crumbled, and shattered. When the lightning scattered, the biological gun were only left with a low base.

  In the ruins of the stands, the shield formation had been scattered. Behind the huge shield, there were many robust men. There were a total of six of them, each holding a giant shield that they scattered around. Under the protection of the shield guards, Berrien walked towards the track and field with a baleful look on his face.

  There were no raiders in Berrien's team's "Berserker Thunder". Other than Berrien himself being able to advance, the other six were also capable people. It was just that they did not advance, and their abilities were very simple. They only had the strength and defense of the fifth step. However, their job was not to fight, but to protect Berrien in all aspects.

  In Kuang Lei's group, there was only one attack type ability user, Berrien. With him, this "Hand of Thunder", there was no longer a need for additional firepower hand. As for the six shield guards protecting him, they were Thunderbolt Guard s that Berrien had specially trained. The giant shield in their hands had decent defensive capabilities towards both physical and energy attack methods.

  "So mighty, Captain Berrien."

  Seeing that the one who was about to attack was Berrien, even Agatha's tone became cold. The appearance of Berrien caused changes to immediately appear to the plan that Ling Yun and the others had drawn up, so it was no wonder that Agatha was unhappy.

  "Don't worry about him. We'll act according to plan." Zero said.

  Everyone nodded and left the classroom. Su Yun brought Feng and the other thirteen people to the vicinity of the track and field. They were waiting for Agatha and Ma Pei to blow up the surrounding biological gun before they launch their main attack on the corpulent cadaver.

  Inside track and field, the battle between Berrien and the living corpse had begun.

  The biological gun s at the top of the buildings were still bombing, but many bright red hot beams of light were blocked one by one by Berrien's Thunderbolt Guard. A large portion of the beam's energy was dispersed by the crystal patterns on the shield, and the fifth stage defensive power of each guard caused a small portion of the remaining energy to explode innocently.

  Amidst the exploding fireballs beside him, Berrien walked forward. Bolts of lightning continuously shot out from his hands. Each time they flashed, a stream of energy wrapped around the electric snake would tear through the air. Although it was the most basic skill of the Lightning Element, "Lightning Arrows", under the control of Berrien's strength up to the sixth stage, every single lightning bolt was as powerful as a biological gun's explosion.

  After a few flashes, another equal number of biological gun were immediately destroyed by Berrien. Seeing the streaks of lightning tearing through the sky, Su Yun couldn't help but be worried for Agatha and her sister, and hope that they wouldn't be accidentally injured by Berrien.

  In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the cannons near the track and field were killed by Berrien. corpulent cadaver opened his mouth and released a sharp scream. The ordinary living corpse who was acting as food immediately pounced towards Berrien as if he had received an order.

  Berrien, who was protected by the shield array, let out a light laugh. He held it in both hands, and when he pulled it back, a ball of electrical light appeared in between his palms. Lightning shot out from Berrien's palm, instantly hitting one of the living corpse s. But the lightning did not disappear just like that, as it shot towards the other living corpse. They jumped from one living corpse to another, flashing a dozen times before disappearing into the air.

  On the other hand, the living corpse that was struck by the lightning had smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

  One of the Hand of Thunder's abilities was the "Lightning Chain", which could carry out multiple transmission attacks. The number of times the electric current would be transferred depended on the attacker's ability. With the power that Berrien currently possessed, he could transfer the lightning chain twelve times!

  Chapter 299 - The Chaos Battlefield

  The battle on the track and field was obviously disadvantageous to the living corpse, the corpulent cadaver that was in the arena quickly realized this point. It was still eating, and it was eating faster. After a few seconds, other than the dozens of living corpse s that were rushing towards Berrien, the rest of them had already entered the stomach of the corpulent cadaver. After swallowing a few hundred living corpse s, corpulent cadaver burped.

  On the tough head, corpulent cadaver rolled his eyes, following which, layers of meat wave rose up. The six legs and two hands that were fixed on the ground began to speak less, and the production organs started to open up violently towards that direction. Following that, more cocoon of flesh s began to line out from the organs. It was just that these cocoon of flesh were oval in shape, and were different from the initial appearance of the bomb carcass. They were similar to commanders, but their commanders were too weak to deal with the current situation.

  When Zero's gaze fell on the cocoon of flesh, all of the hairs on his body suddenly stood up. This was clearly a signal of danger, and also a feeling that the commander was far from being able to give off.

  The cocoon of flesh landed and quickly ruptured. As the nutrient solution flowed out, the odd-looking human body also flowed down the nutrient solution to the ground. They only had one head and one body, but they had no four limbs. However, these strange things gave off a sense of danger, and upon touching the ground, the faces of these living corpse s suddenly flipped open.

  The uniform red color covered the entire pupil of the eye, and there was not a single blemish. It was like the highest quality gem, completely unlike the eye of a living being. When the light in the gem like eyes flickered, living corpse's body started to tremble.

  At this time, Berrien had already killed the dozens of living corpse s that were pestering them. When he saw the strange thing on the ground for the first time, even with Berrien's arrogance, he felt a chill in his heart. Without any time to think, a rotating ball of lightning appeared between his two hands. The moment the thunderous sound came out from within the clouds, a dazzling light tore through space, and after leaving behind a turning point, it crashed into the vicinity of the strange living corpse.

  Immediately, a magnificent fiery cloud blossomed inside the dark track and field. The incandescent white lightning flame formed by the current hedging annihilation of more than a million volts unfurled on the spot, expanding to white meters in an instant. Matter within the range of electric fires was destroy
ed, crystallized, and eventually shattered at the molecular level.

  After the Thundercloud Fire slowly rose into the air, a strong and violent shockwave picked up a strong gust of wind and blew in all directions. Even the nearby Zero who was hiding in the dark was almost suffocated by the strong wind. One could imagine that if he was in the center of the electric fire, it would be as powerful as being hit by a small missile.

  Element Domain Capable was indeed worthy of being called a master in the field of destruction, and those with the Lightning and Fire elements were even more of a master amongst masters. Just now, Berrien had released the Hand of Thunder's most powerful ability, "flash of thunderstorm". The powerful electromagnetic pulse that was condensed to more than a million volts had instantly vented its power, causing everything within a range of a hundred meters to be destroyed by the terrifying electric pulses, turning into nothing.

  In Berrien's memory, there had never been anything that could survive from his power. But tonight, this record seemed to have been broken.

  When the electric cloud gradually dispersed, the ground was filled with smoke and dust. Nearly a ton of the rock had been turned to dust by the blast, turning into dust and spreading into smoke along with the rising airflow. The smoke was blown away again by the night wind, and a huge figure appeared in the smoke.

  The corpulent cadaver who was responsible for producing the biological weapon was completely unharmed, because there were dozens of humanoid monsters around it. No matter if it was their heads or bodies, they were no different from ordinary living corpse. A fist-sized eyeball appeared on the chest of these monsters. Its eyeballs were rolling in fear. The strangest thing were the four limbs of the living corpse s. No matter if it was his hands or legs, the upper half of his body was similar to a normal human. He had obvious muscles that could move up to the lower half of his body. By the time it reached the end, it had already been sharpened into sharp blades.
