539: Crow's Mouth
Zhao Kai's voice echoed through the entire Nine Dragons Ski Resort via broadcast.
On the mountaintop plaza of the ski resort, and in various parts of the resort where tourists who couldn't make it to the summit had formed teams on the spot, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Ordinary people with lower cultivation were surrounded in the very center, holding firearms distributed by the war robots, standing by in full battle array.
Martial Artists improvised, breaking off railings and safety nets to use as weapons.
Awakened with Physical Body abilities used their powers.
Some turned into stone men, others into iron men, or their bodies swelled, forming the outermost perimeter of the encirclement.
Earth-attribute ability users raised the ground to create walls, wind-attribute ability users cut down trees and branches to serve as ignition Materials for fire-attribute users... Standing on the mountaintop, Yang Dian couldn't help but marvel at the individual positions on the snow plaza, mountainside, and foothills.
"This combat readiness is a bit exaggerated."
"And the number of Awakened..."
Hearing Yang Dian's 感慨, Zero, who had arrived beside him a short while ago, spoke up:
"Commander, the current Awakening probability in China has reached 2.31%, and it's still increasing."
"As for combat readiness, it mainly comes from the large-scale team arena in the 【shanhe sheji tu】(the map of mountains and rivers) and the combat experience from Dr. Bai's 【Virtual Illusion Game】."
Yang Dian waved his hand:
"I know all that you're saying."
How could Yang Dian not know that China, which gathers two-thirds of the world's Spiritual Qi, has a Spiritual Qi concentration of 237 Spiritual Qi particles per cubic meter?
Under normal circumstances, China's current official Awakening probability should have reached 2.37%.
As for the large-scale team arena and virtual game competitions, he even participated in their development.
Those two previous sentences were merely an expression of emotion.
Compared to two years ago, when he first Awakened and began practicing martial arts, China's overall strength has indeed improved too much.
Just as Yang Dian was expressing his feelings, the dense swarm of spiders, falling like raindrops from the sky, finally reached an altitude of three hundred meters, emitting a spine-chilling hiss.
The war robots immediately raised their muzzles in batches.
Countless flames erupted from the muzzles, and the previously somewhat noisy ski resort was instantly filled only with the " 噠噠噠" sound of gunfire.
As the gunshots rang out, smoke billowed, and countless spider remains fell from the sky. The tourists, who had initially been somewhat agitated by the falling planetary debris, gradually calmed down.
This was the Chinese people's Legacy, a contempt for life and death etched in their Bloodline.
Treating life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, just do it.
The Chinese people possess the determination to survive in desperate situations, even if it means dying and taking someone down with them.
As the first batch of war robots exhausted their ammunition and returned to the logistics depot for resupply, the second batch of war robots raised their muzzles.
After the second batch of war robots ran out of ammunition, it was the third batch of war robots that raised their muzzles.
When the third batch of war robots exhausted their ammunition, the first batch of war robots had just resupplied from the ammunition depot and flew back into the sky, raising their muzzles at the spider swarm.
On the ground, looking at the spider remains falling like raindrops, an Awakened who had Awakened the metallization talent, standing at the very front, suddenly murmured:
"The war robots are so fierce, it seems those spiders can't even get down."
"We've been setting up battle formations for so long, just to watch the show?"
No sooner had he spoken than the continuous gunfire in the sky suddenly ceased.
The entire world was left with only the terrifying hissing sounds of countless spiders.
Zhao Kai, also at the very front, turned his head to look at the person who had just spoken, then glanced at the falling spiders in the sky and said:
"Don't you know there's limited ammunition in the ammunition depot?"
"Now that the bullets are gone, it's our turn."
The Awakened with the metallization talent who had just spoken subconsciously slapped his own mouth:
"Knowing I have a 'jinx' attribute and still running my mouth."
"Wang Li, you brat really won't have a good end!"
Zhao Kai smiled:
"You say that as if the bullets wouldn't run out if you didn't say anything."
No sooner had Zhao Kai's voice fallen than a deafening explosion echoed from the sky once more.
Countless fragments splattered out amidst the explosion.
Wang Li wiped a streak of green viscous liquid that had landed on his face and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Zhao Kai's voice followed:
"Demolition grenades, miniaturized mini-missiles."
"These are two of the war robots' last three attack methods."
Wang Li looked at the war robots in the sky, drawing their plasma laser swords and rampaging through the spider swarm, and slightly opened his mouth:
"That last attack method, is it the war robots themselves?"
No sooner had he spoken than an angry roar suddenly echoed from behind the spatial rift.
The next moment, thirty-six ink-black spider silks shot out of the spatial rift like arrows, directly piercing through the energy cores of the war robots.
The war robots' visors dimmed for a moment before lighting up again.
Activating their backup energy sources, they simultaneously severed the spider silks that had pierced their energy cores, and ignoring the biting spiders around them, flew straight towards the dark spatial rift in the sky.
Some war robots were lucky; there were no Transcendent Realm large spiders like Guardian Spiders in their flight path, so they flew directly into the spatial rift.
Some war robots were unlucky; their path was blocked by Guardian Spiders.
Seeing no hope of escape, these unlucky war robots directly embraced the Guardian Spiders.
Giant fireballs appeared in the high sky, followed by deafening roars.
The war robots with shattered main energy cores chose to perish with the Guardian Spiders.
"Commander, all 36 war robots have been destroyed."
"The war robots that entered the spatial rift and reached the planetary debris did not find the Spider Queen's location and self-destructed under the siege of a large number of Guardian Spiders."
No sooner had Zero's voice fallen than Zhao Kai, on the snow plaza, who had averted his gaze from the fireballs exploding in the high sky, also turned to look at Wang Li:
"Did you Awaken a second talent, 'Jinx'?"
"How did the war robots explode right after you spoke?"
Wang Li gave a somewhat embarrassed laugh:
"Probably not, right?"
"I'm over 30, and I've had this talent since I was little, back when Spiritual Qi hadn't even recovered yet."
Zhao Kai looked up at the sky, speechless:
"Big brother, you already know your 'jinx' is a talent, so can't you say something good?"
Wang Li blinked:
"Then when we can't hold on, will a great expert descend from the sky to rescue us from our predicament?"
Yang Dian, hearing their conversation, couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"This jinx, it's amazing!"
If reinforcements didn't arrive and the people present couldn't hold on, Yang Dian would naturally take action.
Zhao Kai didn't know that Yang Dian was watching nearby.
After hearing what Wang Li said, he exhaled deeply:
"Let's hope so."
With that, he looked at the spider swarm in the sky, which had lost the war robots' obstruction and was once again descending, and loudly declared:
"Flame ability users, those with flamethrowers, ignite a large fire at the forefront of the battle formation to prevent spiders from directly invading the formation's interior."
"Everyone else, prepare for battle!"
