The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Henrik grit his teeth and attempted to stand after hearing Reef's bellow, but immediately fell back down . The frail physique of a support contestant was revealed; a clear gruesome wound could be seen on his calf, half of it had been chewed up by a zergling . Blood gushed on excessively forming a blood puddle . If not for Reef delivering out his powerful repelling attacks, the two of them would have been swallowed by the arachnid wave .

"Hurry up to the middle of the hall Reef! We'll cover you!" Crazy Harnik and Qiaoer were currently shouting towards him . "Henrik is a lost cause, don't risk your life for him!"

Reef flared out .

"NO! I've sworn before that I'll never abandon a party member!"

At present, the remaining zerglings had frenziedly charged forward, enveloping over Reef and Henrik . In this breeching space, they formed into an immense chaotic ball of zergling! A short 3 seconds felt as long as 3 years . But when they thought hope was lost, Reef's voice suddenly roared out in berserk .

"NE-VER!"

This two words were earth shattering towards the heavens; clearly displaying Reef's emphasis on loyalty . The earth started vibrating before a formless shock wave swept out, slicing everything in its path with Reef as its core!

The earth-shaking vibration expanded over hundreds of metres, sweeping through the 50HP weak zerglings producing shocking results . The zerglings exploded into greenish blood pools instantaneously, even 2-3 hydralisks were not spared . Their carapace were shattered beyond recognition, dripping with greenish blood; totally stunned on the spot!

In that instance, everyone was stupefied . Sheyan couldn't help but recall his encounter with that ability 'Witch's howl'; it was obvious that in both destruction might and range, it far exceeded it . Immediately after, the magician Henrik released another of his 'Oil techniques', successfully hindering the incoming zerglings from approaching . A group of SCVs speeded over, activating its emergency engine as it managed to shift a metal fence over the breached gap; temporarily patching it up .

From the central hall, another hundred machine gunners rushed out in a straight line . With this huge amount of manpower reinforcements, they finally had some breathing space . However, as long as the tremendous amounts of hydralisk were not taken care of outside, then even this group of reinforcements would soon be wiped out . Once there wasn't enough suppression power slaying the zerglings, then undoubtedly another infiltration would be inevitable .

But at this very moment, a clear hydraulic pressure sound of metal clanging against each other echoed through the base; along with the ear-piercing whistle of steam discharge . Turning around, a surprise awaited them .

In their vision were two brand new refurbished heavy siege tanks majestically stationed in the middle of the base . The two previously collapsing shambles now had new thick and strong wheels, heavily cruising over the ground . White steam eagerly spurted out of the air vents . Their Mjolnir artillery cannons revolved a round, and angled 30 degrees up; the pitch-dark cannon holes facing the sky .

BOOM! BOOM! Their gigantic cannons resounded, as the earth tremored along with it . These two heavy siege tanks escaped from the powerhouse Bearing base; their technology was advanced, and their firepower maximum . With every volley of gunfire, they could clear an area of 30 square metres . Neither the zerglings nor the hydralisks could withstand it! When the heavy siege tanks entered siege mode, their range was incomparably terrifying; at least thrice of a hydralisk . It was as though its firing range encompassed the entire assaulting battalion of arachnids!

After a consecutive firing of 10 cannons, at least 30 hydralisks and close to a hundred zerglings were decimated under the irresistible might of the cannon; greatly reducing the pressure on the machine gunners and the fort . The wildly aggressive zerglings at the steel perimeters were being slaughtered . Under this turnaround, seme armoured SCVs even dared to speed out and conduct emergency repairs onto the steel forts . The flares of the gauss rifles as well as the fiery tongues of the machine guns intertwined, obviously the defenders were slowly regaining ground in battle . Only the arachnids maintained their berserking red eyes, determined to die rather than retreat .

Through Qiaoer's meticulous assaults, the exterior hydralisk fell one after another; reduced into pools of blood . Even the heavy siege tanks had started to target the exterior hydralisk . Once the arachnid force lost their long range capabilities with the hydralisk extermination, their persistent efforts at destroying the base were now futile . Yet these zerglings were operated by beastly instincts, never ceasing until death .

When the battle of the base had concluded, the dense air polluted with an awful nose piercing stench; probably the odour from the arachnid's body fluids . If not for that thick smoke diluting it, it really gave off a neausetic sensation . The frontlines armoured machine gunners had slowly scattered about; holding their bloodied helmets beneath their armpits as they congregated to have a smoke . Laughing and playfully teasing each other, loud rough and vulgar languages were shared of their glorious victory; and some about woman .

From outside, occasional gunshots could be heard . Those were from the soldiers sweeping through the battlefield as they finished off the dying arachnids . The corpses of zerglings had been piled up orderly to heaps of 3-4 metres, forming a tragic meat slope . SCVs were busy going through their familiar base, seeming like shovelling rubbish; digging, moving and burying . It seemed like such battles were common, the SCVs were extremely reactive as though extremely familiar .

To the contestants, not losing any members during a defensive battle was really something fortunate . Although magician Henrik was protected by Reef, but his frail physique had caused even the zerglings claws to sustain fatal injuries . Even crazy Harnik had this left hand chewed through . The good news was that after this epic battle, the party members had their reputation directly lifted from 'cold' straight to 'amiable' and some were even at the 'respected' level . This signified that they could utilize the medical and cultivation facilities in the central hall .

The facility method was directly immersing the human into a raw liquid that looked like embryo amniotic fluid; afterwards the biological properties will restore the grave and severe wounds, through catalyzing of cells at the injuries . Hence, it could even rapidly treat dismembered limbs, and only required a short 2-3 hours! With such developed speedy treatment, it allowed the casualty rates to restore to an acceptable degree .

After a day of fierce battle, everyone's battle prowess within the party was pretty clear . Although Sheyan's performance was neither hot nor cold; no matter his formidable support ability, or his close combat presence as a contestant was extremely important to the party . In additional to not committing any errors, he had already been determined by the group as a core party category member . Instead, crazy Harnik and Qiaoer both took a huge dip in their reputation amongst the party . Naturally it was them that shouted for Reef to abandon his comrade in utmost crucial moment, and received critical judgement . Everyone saw Reef as their party leader, even Tulip who was reprimanded severely by him previously had no objections .

At this moment, a soldier ran over to transmit a message to the contestant; informing them that Commander Tommy Kevin wants to meet them . In a flash, the gloomy complexion of this irritable Lieutenant Colonel stood in front of them, pacing back and forth with his hands behind him .

"Even though I do not like you lot, yes! I admit this fact . But I have to admit, you guys did pretty fine . Not only did you rescue those morons from the bearing base, you even got rid of the crafty hydralisk commander flagellum . Through that you foiled their biggest mechanism, causing the nearby arachnids to lose any further developments in the next few months . You, step forward!"

(TN: Flagellum should be the queen hydralisk that reproduces more)

Tommy Kevin was pointing at Qiaoer . Qiaoer's face flushed with jubilation as he stood forward . The commander directly retrieved a medal from his pocket, raising his voice to announce .

"This is your reward, a special award for slaying the flagellum!"

Next, the commander pointed at Sheyan .

"Soldier, step forward!"

Sheyan stood forward, and indeed also received a purple star medal . He then realized that the giant scourge he had killed was named 'Skeleton wings', and was a rather infamous character classified highly by the base . Although he didn't really deal most of the damage to it, Sheyan was the first to latch onto it and even saved a soldier from its clutches; thus it was deemed as an achievement .

The purple star medal had only one attribute: Buying any 'reputation' military props had a 5% discount . It was probably the lowest rank allocation .

Next, Tommy Kevin was again pacing back and forth .

"Just in, the headquarters transmitted a piece of news . They have dispatched strike-aircrafts to provide assistance to the Roughnecks at Whiskey base, further sending in air-drop supplies . Thus, enduring till the next morning is no problem . The south side, 'Iron cabinet' base has dispatched 3 Vultures to coordinate with your operation . If nothing else arises, 3 hours later is the departing time . Your comrades should have recovered fully by then . That will be the optimal time to set out . "
