Chapter 1231 624: Sudden Upheaval, A Frenzied Tide (Part 3)
Amidst the chaos, whether it was the two brothers or the people in the shop, they all froze in place.
Only Tang Qian, who was dozing at the entrance, jumped up as if electrocuted, rushed in, and began frantically packing things, pulling down the shutters and setting up a warning.
After driving away all the customers, with a loud bang, he locked the door.
Immediately after, he adeptly opened the weapon rack and rummaged through it, tossing over two guns too heavy for either of them to handle: "You silly boys, what are you dazing for? Hurry up and prepare yourself!"
"Uh this..."
Yan Chang was bewildered: "Mr. Tang, isn't your reaction a bit too extreme?"
"How the hell is this extreme?"
Tang Qian's voice boomed: "This is called being prepared! You guys don't know that Ji Jue bastard. Ever since I met him, everything has been bizarre and ominous. With this little preparation, if it really comes to it, I fear it won't be of any damn use!"
Before the words were fully spoken, the entire base shook violently under the impact of countless shadows like meteors.
A vast number of bizarre giant sharks and sea creatures rushed in with the blood rain, wantonly preying. As the wall collapsed with a tremendous crash, Yan Chang's face gradually turned pale.
Like a tidal wave, giant insects, lizards, and even mutant beasts flooded in, wreaking havoc in the frontline base, with wails and screams everywhere.
"See, what did I say! What did I say, damn it!"
Tang Qian glared, full of resentment: "Whenever something is related to Ji, it's never good! You see, how many days has he been here, and the frontline base is going to be wiped out! It's all Ji Jue's fault!"
"Gah---!!!"
Rotting giant-winged birds descended from the sky, tearing at the screaming, fleeing figures, taking off again, and disappearing. Numerous monsters attracted by the scent of blood darted around the base's periphery, seeking to devour.
Some, even bolder, circled around the workshop, starting to try to claw at the iron doors and windows, attempting to break in.
The shrill, sharp sounds were incessant...
Yan Fei held down the defense system's stop button firmly, not daring to let go.
For now, it's just a few mutants scratching at the door, and it wouldn't take them even thousands of years to scratch through, but once a counterattack is launched, the commotion then might just attract all the monsters from the periphery!
"Don't worry, Ah Chang, your brother is here!"
He patted his younger brother beside him, comforting him: "It's just a small skirmish... The base was caught off guard, but once they react, surely they can..."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!"
Yan Chang restrained the growing unease and premonition in his heart, taking a deep breath.
"Brother, let me ask you a question—"
He grabbed Yan Fei, looking grave: "The frontline base is, after all, a vital hub, no matter how heavily guarded, it doesn't seem likely to be breached by this bunch of monsters as if it were made of paper?"
"What?"
Yan Fei was stupefied.
"Moreover, don't you think the base's outer walls collapsed too strangely?"
Yan Chang squinted his eyes: "And almost immediately, the inner layer closed off completely, severing all connections, and now even the command system is entirely paralyzed. Do you think this is really normal?"
You could feel it, at this moment, inside and out of the base, countless fierce flames and malevolence, fear and hunger, despair and bewilderment... all have instantly disintegrated into chaos!
Yan Fei was shocked, "You mean there's a traitor?"
"I fear it's even worse."
Yan Chang resolutely said, "There's a wolf!"
There is definitely a wolf!
Every day, a large number of Chosen Ones gather at the frontline base, which makes it already the most likely place to infiltrate, not to mention the presence of wolves, sneaking in is as easy as ever.
Originally under the cover of the Heavenly Essence Law, it could still suppress the situation, but now with Heavenly Calamity outside and wolves inside, without even a Heavenly Person to preside, it is feared...
Yan Fei began to sweat.
In that instant, amidst the screams, the voice that once summoned all members of the base to fight bravely suddenly stopped. In the dead silence, there was only the spreading firelight and screeching.
Amidst the spreading flames, the sound of continuous collapse was heard.
Wails echoed around.
More and more people wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.
Outside the door, the scratching sounds grew sharper.
Lured by the spirit, countless mutants gathered around, wandering and constantly crashing into the walls, trying to get in.
The indentations on the iron wall increased, as if something was dripping down, sizzling.
The lights flickered for a moment.
No more waiting!
Yan Fei silently calculated the workshop's tolerance limit and damage, gritting his teeth several times, hesitating for a long time before finally letting go of the button.
The originally unremarkable workshop exploded into brilliant light.
Dozens of machine gun turrets suddenly rose from the ground, the barrels spinning wildly, spewing fire wildly. In the hot metal storm, countless blood and bits of flesh flew.
In the blink of an eye, the area around the workshop was cleared of mutants, but more mutants were drawn to the gunfire, continually gathering.
The pungent scent of blood in the air was the best stimulant.
Regardless of their kind or each other, they indulged in a gory feast, once more mutating, their grotesque bodies squirming and instinctively launching assaults, only to be shattered under the firepower.
Incomplete corpses were scattered all over the street, dyeing everything crimson, but amidst the writhing flesh, more insects were constantly gathering.
Amidst the intervals of gunfire, screeching, and wailing, a faint flute sound arose.
Like crying, as if sobbing.
It was like a desolate wind blowing from reeds and rivers, in the mournful melody of the Leaf Flute, each mutant and Disaster Beast's pupils turned even more crimson, completely dominated by instinct.
