Chapter 50: Surrounded from the rear? I'll take them down one by one with a vengeance!
"Victory is certain!!"
"Victory is certain!!"
The deafening roars merged into a torrent of steel, instantly drowning out the howls of the zombie horde.
The fear in the eyes of every soldier and every Spirit Source user was replaced by burning fighting spirit.
"Kill all these scum!"
Zhou Hai blasted three low-level floating corpses that had just climbed onto the deck into charred remains with a single explosive grenade. Looking at the soldiers fighting alongside him and feeling the iron-blooded atmosphere, he grinned wildly and laughed: "Hahaha! I never imagined in my life that I could fight alongside the national army to defend my country! I've brought honor to my ancestors! Awesome!"
Zhao smashed the head of a low-level floating corpse with a hammer, looked at Zhou Hai who was as excited as a child, and shook his head with a smile: "Look at your pathetic self. Look at Xiao Lu and Ali, how calm they are."
Zhou Hai glared at him: "You don't know anything! This is called a sense of honor!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Lu Sheng pierced the head of a low-level floating corpse with a single, swift and clean thrust.
[Kill a low-level floating corpse, +0.1 energy points!]
His gaze, however, bypassed the soldiers in front of him and looked into the depths of the horde of corpses.
Su Li slashed out with her sword, a cold light flashed, and the heads of several low-level floating corpses shot into the sky.
She glanced at her three teammates beside her, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips on her usually cold face, before she returned to the killing spree.
The battle quickly intensified, with a continuous stream of floating corpses surging onto the warships in defense zones 1-5 like a tidal wave. Shouts of battle, roars, and explosions echoed through the sky.
Lu Sheng was like the most efficient butcher, each shot precisely reaping the lives of low-level floating corpses, and the energy points on his system panel were soaring rapidly.
[Energy Points: 233]
[Energy Points: 358]
……
However, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed even more deeply.
He discovered that from the start of the battle until now, all those rushing up were the lowest-level cannon fodder zombies, not even a single high-level zombie. Meanwhile, the elite zombies that he had locked onto with his dragon eyes were still staying in the latter part of the zombie horde, coldly driving away the cannon fodder without taking the initiative to move forward.
Not right.
Something's really wrong.
A strong sense of unease rose in Lu Sheng's heart.
"What exactly is that leader-level floating corpse plotting? What is it waiting for?"
In the very instant Lu Sheng was distracted!
The terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the zombie horde, which his dragon eyes had locked onto, seemed to sense his probing and fluctuated violently!
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis did not come from the horde of zombies directly in front of us, but from... our feet!
From the bottomless, dark seawater stained black by countless corpses!
Lu Sheng's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly looked down at the ship's side at his feet.
Beneath the dark sea, dozens of shadowy figures, much smaller than ordinary floating corpses but as fast as torpedoes, were moving at an incredible speed, silently skimming over the floating corpses and debris on the surface, bypassing everyone's sight and firepower, and speeding toward the rear of the ship!
Their target wasn't the deck at all!
It was at the rear of the ship!
At this moment, all firepower is focused on the front. If they succeed, the ships will be attacked from both sides, and the entire defensive line will be doomed!
"Underwater! Behind you!"
Lu Sheng's roar, like a thunderclap, instantly pierced through the noisy battlefield!
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed to the nearest officer, his voice urgent and clear: "Immediately notify command! The enemy's elite forces are underwater! They're launching a surprise attack on the rear of all the warships!"
The officer's expression changed drastically. Having witnessed Lu Sheng's strength, he had no doubts whatsoever. He immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported this crucial information at top speed!
Zhenyuan, command center.
"Reporting, General! Urgent intelligence from the Flame Fleet at Position 1! Enemy elites are infiltrating underwater behind all our ships!"
Chen Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned around sharply, staring intently at the blue dots representing all the warships on the holographic map.
Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively gave the order!
"Order! All ships, immediately activate depth charges and anti-submarine torpedoes! Regardless of cost, completely clear the waters within fifty meters behind the warships!"
"All defense zones, allocate one-third of your firepower to defend the sea area behind the warships!"
"Sonar system, power up to maximum!"
Almost the instant the order was given!
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Behind the entire steel defense line, countless water columns suddenly exploded and shot into the sky!
The dull thuds of the depth charges echoed underwater, and the terrifying shockwaves instantly turned the high-level floating corpses that had just approached the stern of the warship into a bloody pulp!
Countless agile black figures were forced out of the water, and as soon as they surfaced, they were torn to shreds by the dense firepower that had been waiting for them!
A deadly sneak attack that could have overturned the entire battle was nipped in the bud thanks to Lu Sheng's early warning!
The fleet leaders in the other defense zones, upon hearing this thrilling battle through the public channel, were all terrified.
Only then did they realize that they had just escaped death!
And the Flame Fleet that provided the intelligence was once again given an elevated status in their eyes!
On the deck of the Pioneer.
"Team Leader Zhou, Brother Zhao, Ali!" Lu Sheng swept his twin-spears horizontally, sending several low-level floating corpses flying. Without turning his head, he roared at the three, "You guys handle the cannon fodder in front! I'll go clean up the trash in the back!"
"Be careful on your own!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai and the other two did not ask any further questions. They immediately spread out their battle lines and launched an even more ferocious offensive to fill the gap left by Lu Sheng's departure.
Lu Sheng didn't linger. His figure moved like lightning, and in a few flashes, he arrived at the deck at the rear of the warship.
At this moment, despite the suppression of depth charges, more than a dozen high-level floating corpses, relying on their speed and strength far exceeding that of their kind, successfully evaded the barrage and climbed onto the ship's side!
Their skin was dark blue, and although their bodies were not as swollen as ordinary floating corpses, their muscle lines were like cast steel, and their claws gleamed with a cold metallic light. Each one was no less powerful than a level 3 Spirit Source user!
A dozen soldiers were firing wildly with heavy machine guns, but the advanced floating corpses were extremely fast, and the bullets were hard to hit vital organs, only exploding into bursts of blood, which could not cause fatal damage at all.
One of the high-level floating corpses suddenly leaped, easily dodging the hail of bullets. Its sharp claws brought up a gust of wind as it aimed straight for a soldier's head!
At this critical moment!
"Pfft!"
A black streak of light arrived first, even though it was delayed!
A long spear appeared out of thin air and pierced the eye socket of the elite floating corpse with perfect accuracy. The powerful force sent it flying backward, pinning it firmly to the deck!
[Slay a high-level floating corpse, gain 10 energy points!]
[Spirit Source: Level 4 (5/600)]
Lu Sheng appeared in front of the soldier who had survived the ordeal. He held his gun in one hand, flicked the black blood off the tip, and his cold gaze swept over the dozen or so high-level floating corpses that had just climbed onto the deck.
In his eyes, these terrifying monsters, which others would consider capable of causing massive casualties, now seemed so...friendly.
A cold smile spread across his lips.
"It's finally here."
"My experience package."
