186: Chapter 186 Suicide Squads Rush to the Rescue
Unfortunately, even though the soldiers possessed the courage to fight to the death, in the face of an absolute chasm in strength, their hot-blooded passion was ultimately nothing more than a futile increase in casualties.
Dozens of Eastern soldiers charging at the front lines exerted all their effort just to barely close in on the ordinary Great Lizards. However, in the next second, those monsters used their crushing speed to turn into afterimages, flashing through the crowd. In an instant, over a dozen soldiers collapsed without even the chance to resist, their blood immediately staining the ground beneath their feet.
The remaining soldiers' eyes turned bloodshot as they roared and lunged at the Great Lizards once more. Yet, those seemingly clumsy Great Lizards merely swung their sharp blades casually, sending a soldier flying. The soldier's body flew back dozens of meters like a broken kite, spraying blood in mid-air. By the time he hit the ground, he had already stopped breathing; clearly, his internal organs had been completely shattered by that violent force.
"Retreat! You're no match for them!" Watching the horrific scene before him, a Blue Star Defense Department warrior with both arms severed roared with tears streaming down his face. His heart was filled with the obsession to join the fray, but his broken body left him only able to watch helplessly as ordinary soldiers and comrades died, leaving him with nothing but powerlessness and despair.
But the bloody nature etched into the bones and blood of the Eastern people never faded in desperate situations. Seeing their comrades fall one after another into pools of blood, the following soldiers did not shrink back. Instead, they charged toward the Great Lizards like a surging tide. This scene of moving forward despite knowing death was certain was both shocking and filled with an unspeakable sorrow.
Just as this battalion of soldiers was about to be heavily damaged by the Great Lizards and the defensive line was on the verge of total collapse, Qin Yang's Death Warriors bodyguard unit finally arrived at the battlefield.
The Death Warriors' expressions were as cold as ice. Looking at the tragic scene of corpses everywhere and drifting smoke, there wasn't the slightest ripple in their eyes, as if they were long accustomed to such life-and-death slaughter. Without any hesitation, they leaned down to pick up the scattered Starfall Stone blades from the ground, formed two-man combat teams, and shot toward the Great Lizards like arrows.
Puchi!
A soldier resolutely used his own body to shield his comrade, closing his eyes to wait for death. However, the expected intense pain did not come. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes in confusion, only to find himself unharmed, with only the faint sound of blades cutting through flesh remaining in his ears.
He instinctively looked up and saw that at some point, a group of figures in black suits had appeared on the battlefield. Their faces were stern and their auras intimidating, like gods of slaughter walking out of hell. Whether it was strength, speed, or reaction time, they were not inferior to those ferocious monsters; the physical fitness of some even far exceeded the monsters. The creatures that had seemed like apocalyptic demons to ordinary soldiers just moments ago were as vulnerable as tattered dolls in the hands of these suited men. They were either easily sent flying or sliced in half by the sharp blades. Splattering blood could not shake the men in the slightest.
"Is this... reinforcement? Who are they?" The surviving soldiers murmured to themselves, staring blankly at the reversed situation.
All the surviving soldiers and Blue Star Defense Department warriors on the scene harbored the same doubt in their hearts.
Seeing the battlefield being taken over, the few remaining Blue Star Defense Department warriors quickly gathered together, their expressions full of suspicion and shock.
"They are definitely not our people!" A Captain-level Warrior stared at the decisive, killing figures of the Death Warriors, his tone incredibly certain.
"Then where on earth did these freaks come from?" The warrior beside him couldn't help but ask, his tone carrying an unmaskable horror.
The reason everyone called these Death Warriors 'freaks' in their hearts was entirely because the combat power they displayed was too terrifying. It was visible to the naked eye that the strength of every Death Warrior had reached at least the General-level. They truly could not imagine what kind of colossal power could possess so many top-tier super warriors.
"Stop guessing blindly and report the situation to headquarters immediately," a warrior sighed deeply. "It is already a fait accompli that this supernatural battle has been completely exposed to the public. But looking at it from another perspective, if we can unite the strength of all mankind, the probability of discovering geniuses will definitely increase significantly. The pressure of our subsequent defense against alien threats can also be lightened."
While the warriors were talking in low voices, all the Great Lizards that had descended to the ground had been completely cleared by the Death Warriors. Those sent out this time were all Qin Yang's personal Death Warriors, the most elite force aside from core combatants like Li Huaishan. The strongest of the descending Great Lizards was only of the Long Tail level. Under the siege of several same-level or even higher-level Death Warriors, they had no power to fight back and were all killed in a short moment.
As the battle concluded, Xiao Jiu immediately reported the situation and results of the battlefield to Qin Yang without missing a single word.
The sudden out-of-control descent of the Great Lizards and the tragic situation of the front-line soldiers having no resistance made Qin Yang completely abandon the idea of staying hidden behind the scenes and minding his own business. Aliens and humans belonged to entirely different species; in their eyes, humans were nothing more than easily obtainable food. From the beginning, there was no possibility of reconciliation or coexistence between the two races. Only by fighting to the death could a sliver of hope be found.
But having witnessed the tragic sacrifices of the Defense Department warriors and ordinary soldiers today, Qin Yang knew very well that if the aliens invaded in force, humanity's current combat power would be unable to withstand them. Even if he could survive until the end with the protection of his Death Warrior legion, if humanity were completely exterminated, what meaning would there be if only he and his family survived?
After thinking for a long time, Qin Yang finally made a decision: it was time to actively contact the national level and join forces to resist the impending alien catastrophe.
This team of Death Warrior bodyguards that had just saved many people could serve as a way to probe the state's perspective.
