Chapter 503: Chapter 331: Schemes and Betrayal (Part 2)
"Hehe, you thought you could fake the accounts and erase the kickback traces, but I’ve got the original reports."
"And those video files, impressive, Yang Fuchai, I know you like married women, but I didn’t expect you’d dare to seduce even President Xu’s wife."
"President Xu is now holding an important position at headquarters. If he sees these videos, do you think he might kill you?"
Yang Fuchai’s breath began to tremble, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "Xie Zongchang! You dared to secretly gather my weaknesses?!"
Xie Zongchang sneered coldly, "Hehe, you young people don’t really think that we bosses just spout new workplace jargon, right? You’re too green to play mind games with me!"
Yang Fuchai clenched his fist, making cracking sounds, and gritted his teeth, asking, "What do you want..."
Xie Zongchang coldly said, "I told you, don’t make a fuss over the Celestial Gate Patrol Station’s fall, immediately send people over to help me sort things out. It’s good for both you and me."
Yang Fuchai bit his teeth tightly, remained silent, and angrily hung up the phone.
He looked at the distant sky slightly turning light, the more he thought, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he smashed his teacup on the ground and reluctantly opened his computer to initiate permission operations.
...
...
...
At dawn, the sun rose from the horizon, casting the first rays of light, illuminating the gruesome scene at the Celestial Gate Patrol Station.
After a night of fierce battle, the air here was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder. The ground was littered with bodies, both of beasts and soldiers, lying haphazardly on the fortifications within the Patrol Station, staining the originally gray concrete a shocking reddish-brown.
Among the pile of corpses, a severely wounded soldier struggled to crawl. His legs had been bitten off by a beast, leaving a long trail of blood behind him.
He howled as he crawled towards the rear bunker, but hadn’t moved more than a few meters when an arthropod beast leapt behind him, pierced his shoulder, pinning him to the ground, and started to gnaw on his body.
"Ahhhh!!! Ahhh!!!" The soldier screamed in agony, crying out with all his strength towards the bunker, "Kill me! Brothers! Please kill me!"
The bunker fell into a brief silence before suddenly a "bang" rang out, a flash of fire appeared from the gun barrel, and a bullet pierced the soldier’s skull, granting him relief.
Immediately after, a denser barrage of gunfire erupted, bullets blossoming into blood flowers on the beast, tearing it apart.
What was happening here was only a corner of the battlefield, and fighting between soldiers and beasts had continued throughout the Celestial Gate Patrol Station for the entire night.
Last night, after the defense wall was breached by a super-sized beast, a large number of beasts flooded into the Patrol Station through the gap, making its fall a foregone conclusion.
Despite losing the heavy artillery support of the defense wall turrets, Celestial Gate Patrol Station’s commander Xie Zongchang did not organize a retreat. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to hold their ground, mustering elite Extraordinary Beings to act as gendarme supervisers, shooting any deserters on sight.
For this, the soldiers were forced to utilize the internal terrain structure of the Patrol Station to engage in maneuver combat with the beasts, even having to resort to the most primitive close-quarters combat.
At this moment, Xie Zongchang was hiding in the depths of an underground shelter, protected by heavy isolation doors, and his voice broadcast throughout the Patrol Station: "Brothers! We are warriors of the great company! Fight to the end with the enemy! Live and die with the Celestial Gate!!!"
Xie Zongchang’s words were more like satire than motivation, as the casualty rate of the Celestial Gate Patrol Station’s garrison had already exceeded 30%, and their combat effectiveness was on the verge of collapse.
Yet the beasts continued to surge ceaselessly from the gap, wave after wave assaulting the defenses, with soldiers continually dying in the melee.
The massive casualties gradually dampened morale to the point of freezing, with no one seeing hope, only leaving despair and numbness.
Just when the Patrol Station soldiers’ emotions were about to implode, potentially leading to a mass rout...
A turning point finally arrived.
"Boom——" An engine roar came from afar, approaching, and a massive shadow appeared in the sky, blocking out the sunlight, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
This was a "Taishan-10" type Floating Airship, the main aerial transport vehicle of Hegemony Company, over a hundred meters in length and wingspan, capable of carrying over 1000 fully-armed soldiers in a single trip.
The soldiers of the Celestial Gate Patrol Station lifted their heads at the commotion. When they saw the twin helix logo on the airship’s body, alongside the fierce Razor pattern beside it, morale that had dropped to freezing point rapidly rose, erupting into an exhilarating cheer among the crowd.
"Razor is here! We’re saved!!!"
The Taishan-10 type Floating Airship arrived over the battlefield, the rear cabin doors opened, dense white dots sprayed out, like meteors flooding towards the nearly fallen Celestial Gate Patrol Station, each dot was a Razor Warrior stepping on individual flight equipment.
A man with a scar on his face landed first in the area most densely packed with beasts, his appearance immediately drawing the attention of the surrounding beasts.
Among them was a large beast nearly 8 meters tall, with a rhino-like physique, layered with hard horned skin forming an armor-like protective layer, its head sported a destructive giant horn.
"Roar——" The beast let out a deep roar, charging madly towards the tall man, its immense strength shattering the ground with cracks wherever it passed.
The tall man seemed oblivious to the beast, simply scanning the surroundings, observing the battlefield environment here.
Only when the beast had charged beside him, and the thick horn like a heavy cannon was about to ram into him, did he casually extend his left hand.
"Boom——" The two collided, the violent impact caused the air to ripple, the ground shook, and many beasts were unable to stand steadily.
Once the dust settled, a stunning scene unfolded.
Only to see the tall man’s left hand gripping the horn like a pair of iron tongs, the immense force causing spiderweb-like fissures on its surface, single-handedly halting the beast’s charge without budging an inch.
In the next moment, the tall man’s right fist, covered with heavy Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone, struck the beast’s head with Thunderous Power.
"Boom!!!" With a violent crash, the sturdy head, which even a cannon couldn’t breach, was shattered by the heavy punch, and the beast’s immense body like a hill gushed blood, collapsing to the ground like mud.
And throughout the entire ordeal, the tall man didn’t spare the formidable beast even a glance, as if it were just an insignificant ant.
The tall man casually shook the blood off the Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone, activated the communications device at his ear, and said with a blank expression, "Razor Rapid Response Team Hellfire Squad has arrived at the Celestial Gate Patrol Station. This location confirmed to be breached by beasts, commencing reclaim operation."
This time Yang Fuchai had mobilized an entire Razor Brigade, totalling over a thousand personnel, all equipped with the most sophisticated gear.
The entry threshold for Razor Rapid Response Team was Blood Code reaching the "Upgraded Level", which meant that among these thousand-plus warriors, the weakest could match the strongest elite of the Celestial Gate Patrol Station garrison.
And the commander of the Hellfire Squad was a mid-level Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier, not to mention these surrounding beasts; even if the super-sized beast that breached the defense wall came back to life, he could defeat it once again.
Soon, thousands of Razor Warriors landed at the Celestial Gate Patrol Station, forming over a hundred combat squads in units of eight, advancing in tight formation, crazily firing at the beasts within their attack range.
The Razor Warriors were far better equipped than the Patrol Station soldiers, utilizing energy weapons, with beams spewing from gun barrels that easily tore the beasts’ flesh, reducing them to pulp in the blink of an eye.
If any beast broke through the fire blockade line and engaged in close combat with Razor Warriors, they’d be in even greater misfortune, as various Blood Code Abilities would make their deaths unknown.
