Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Empress
The HUMVEE was suddenly besieged!
Alien Species lunged from all directions, and the vehicle violently shook as if it were about to topple over the next moment!
Han Yi furrowed his brows, his narrow and sharp eyes abruptly opening wide, creating a wave-like shockwave of spiritual power centered on the vehicle!
"Keep driving forward," his voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Bai Kairui, ignoring the oncoming Alien Species, gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator.
Xiao Jian and Han Jiaojiao opened fire to the left and right sides of the vehicle respectively, Yan Xiao’s Fireballs flew out in an unending stream, forming almost a continuous ring of fire, making the gloomy factory inside as bright as daylight due to the blazing flames.
Gunfire and growls filled the air, and amidst the chaos, desperate screams could be faintly heard from behind.
Bai Kairui slowed down the speed of the vehicle,
Han Yi’s frown deepened, "Don’t worry about it, keep moving forward."
"Yes!" Sweat streamed down Bai Kairui’s face. He wasn’t thinking of stopping to rescue someone; it was the dense mass of Alien Species that had rattled him. Shocked by the screams from behind, his movements had slowed for a moment, but upon hearing Han Yi’s icy voice, Bai Kairui got a jolt of adrenaline and dared not think of anything else, focusing on driving straight ahead.
At such a time, if anything went wrong, Bai Kairui dared not guarantee that he wouldn’t be thrown out by Han Yi...
Han Yi’s spiritual power added an invisible protective shield around the HUMVEE. He kept pushing his spiritual power until even the jeep that Hong Yun was in was also enveloped, ensuring a certain degree of safety for those within the shield. This allowed for greater firepower to be directed at the surrounding Alien Species, and consequently, the pressure around the large military truck was alleviated.
Meanwhile, Han Yi’s protective shield continued to expand outward—
Han Jiaojiao glanced back and saw Han Yi’s face had turned somewhat pale. She ran over without caring about shooting and immediately took Han Yi’s hand!
The enhancement from the ring helped Han Yi’s complexion recover significantly, and he then pushed the protective shield a few meters further out, finally enclosing the military truck as well.
Countless Alien Species were trapped between the protective shield and the walls in a narrow area, unable to advance or retreat, they could only roar and frantically smash against the protective shield set by Han Yi.
Some people, seeing this situation, visibly relaxed, and their shooting instinctively stalled, as their fingers had become somewhat numb from the previous intense gunfire.
Han Jiaojiao was annoyed upon seeing this, her face cold as she shouted loudly, "The protective shield won’t last long! Keep shooting!"
Hong Yun was already reloading for the second time when she heard Han Jiaojiao’s voice, and she couldn’t help but glance in her direction.
The little girl with her hair done up in a bun, had a doll-like adorable face. She was holding her brother’s hand with one hand and persistently shooting with the other, her expression as cold as frost, her eyes containing a chill uncommon in ordinary people.
Hong Yun immediately snapped out of it, pushed her emotions aside, and stared straight at the ferocious faces of the Alien Species. Bullets shot from her gun flew towards their skulls—
While controlling the protective shield, Han Yi raised his voice, "We need two Strength Type Superpower Users on this side to open the entrance to the underground garage!"
The entrance to the underground garage was a sloped driveway, covered with cars piled upon each other, layered so thickly that the entrance was tightly sealed. Because of this, those inside had remained safe until rescue arrived.
Soon, two strong young men came running over, heading straight for the garage entrance behind Han Yi. With a light lift, one of them flung a car aside, then one by one, they removed the cars, quickly revealing an opening at the entrance.
The restrained Alien Species suddenly became agitated at this moment! They simultaneously charged towards Han Yi’s side, causing the entire protective shield to shake violently!
Han Yi’s complexion turned pale in an instant, as he shouted, "Everyone, retreat into the garage!"
Hong Yun also noticed something off with the Alien Species. Just before, they were attacking mindlessly, each on their own. How come they suddenly seemed to be drawn to something, all charging towards the garage behind Han Yi?!
The others, upon hearing this, thought Han Yi’s protective shield was about to fail. As soon as they received the command, they immediately put away their guns and swiftly scrambled into the underground garage through the opening that a Strength Type Superpower User had just pried open.
As they evacuated, Han Yi’s protective shield began to shrink rapidly! He compressed his spiritual power to the utmost limit, making it more resilient in order to withstand the Alien Species’ repeated violent collisions.
The Alien Species seemed to have gone mad, some even deforming and twisting their joints from the impact, yet they continued to hurl themselves at him relentlessly!
When the last person had also climbed into the underground garage, Han Yi took a deep breath and exerted his force mightily! He unleashed a surge of spiritual power that was several times more concentrated—like a balloon bursting, like a torrential river! With a thunderous boom, dozens of Alien Species were directly smacked against the wall, instantly crushed and compressed!
The dark green liquid, like juice splattering out of a blender, streaked across the surrounding walls, leaving long, ugly traces.
After releasing his spiritual power, Han Yi immediately led Han Jiaojiao into the entrance, where two Strength Type Superpower Users quickly used vehicles to block the opening—a car after car was wedged at odd angles, ultimately forming a solid "door" to the tunnel.
"What’s going on here?" Hong Yun looked at Han Yi with a puzzled face.
Everything was going smoothly. If not for the sudden outbreak from the Alien Species, they could have slowly eliminated them from within the protective shield.
"It must be the Empress," the person who answered her was Han Jiaojiao.
Outside the factory, Han Jiaojiao had already begun to suspect it, though she wasn’t certain. But now, she really couldn’t think of a second reason to explain the monsters’ strange behavior.
"The Empress?" Clearly, the people at the base had not yet been accustomed to such a title.
Hong Yun quickly understood, "You mean the female Alien Species progenitor? Empress... it is indeed an apt name."
Han Jiaojiao pursed her lips, saying no more. She took a tissue from the small backpack on her back and carefully wiped the sweat from Han Yi’s forehead.
Han Yi leaned against the cement wall with his eyes closed, a sheen of sweat on his forehead.
Obviously, the expenditure he had just incurred was considerable, and his current physical condition was not suitable for using his Ability any longer.
He fully agreed with Han Jiaojiao’s explanation. With his eyes still closed, he said, "It should be the Empress. A mature Empress emits a scent that drives the Alien Species into a frenzy."
Yan Xiao, leaning against the other side and resting, felt a slight tremor in his fingers from overuse of his Ability. Hearing what Han Yi said, he let out a cold laugh, "No wonder the last group was completely annihilated; turns out these scientists had an Empress hidden down there. If we can’t get out today, by nightfall, even more Alien Species will be attracted by the scent of the Empress!"
Hong Yun frowned slightly. The intelligence she had gathered did indicate there would be more Alien Species today, which was why the base urgently issued the bounty task—fearing that the longer they delayed, the more Alien Species would gather. But they had originally thought this gathering was merely an instinctual behavior of the creatures, and hadn’t considered the Empress playing a role in it...
Were they going to be trapped here as well?
Hong Yun looked at Han Yi, "We could wait for our Abilities to recover and then try to break out."
Han Yi opened his eyes and gave her a look, his voice clear and indifferent, "No, we should go down now and kill the Empress."
