271: Chapter 271 985 Autumn Water

"I've got them controlled, attack!"

The Divine Ox rubbed his nose triumphantly.

The other several Crew Members also began their attacks upon seeing the spider swarm.

"Shrapnel."

Kadel gave a cold snort, firing bullets in rapid succession.

Three Shrapnel rounds covered a large area ahead.

Chen Fan looked at Kadel with some surprise.

He remembered that previously, the range of Kadel's Shrapnel had a pitiful diameter of only 10 meters.

But the three Shrapnel rounds before him each reached a diameter of a hundred meters!

"What are you looking at? The divine staff only boosted the range by this much, it's practically embarrassing, ptooie!"

Kadel gave a cocky smile, then turned to aim at the spider swarm.

With every shot, a spider was instantly killed.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt a Hurricane whip up around him.

Zila—

A green light arrow shot out from behind him, piercing straight into the spider swarm.

In an instant, it wiped out all spiders along its path; even those further back that hadn't entered the defense turret's range and were still invisible were directly shot dead.

Pudge had no area-of-effect skills and could only stand at the front, constantly throwing out his hook.

Every hook killed a spider.

Seeing the low efficiency of his crew, Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head, his gaze sweeping toward the Mountain Ridge Giant nearby.

"Too weak, you are all too weak."

Tiny shook his head, his size suddenly ballooning to a thousand meters tall.

He took a step forward, grabbed a towering tree ahead with both hands, and yanked it out violently.

The hundred-meter-tall trunk was actually uprooted by him.

"Roar—"

Tiny let out a furious roar, holding the trunk with both hands and swinging it across.

Rumble—

Trees along the path were snapped in half, and the charging spiders were all annihilated in the process.

He wasn't finished; Tiny raised the trunk over his head with both hands, took a step, and hurled it out.

Three hundred meters away, the trunk crashed down, creating a massive vacuum zone where all surrounding spiders were crushed into powder.

“Tsk tsk tsk, not bad at all. Now this looks like an SS-Class combat Crew Member.”

Chen Fan pinched his chin, marveling at the sight.

This caused Kadel to roll his eyes repeatedly, muttering words like "single-target instant kill" and "AOE burst."

Taking advantage of the space cleared by those two moves, Tiny stepped forward again, his feet constantly crushing and sweeping across the ground.

His massive body was like a wall, blocking all the charging spiders outside.

Behind him, the defense turrets attacked continuously, while the other Crew Members finished off the survivors.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan moved the defense turrets forward several hundred meters, allowing the detection range to become even larger.

After a few waves of crushing force, the large-scale spider swarm had been wiped out, leaving only a few scattered waves.

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

It seemed he could leave this to the crew, allowing him to go study that eerie spider web.

Before leaving, Chen Fan also deployed several thousand Blade Soldiers, surrounding the main city with ten layers inside and out.

This way, even if monsters approached the main city, these Blade Soldiers could stall until the S-Class Crew Members arrived to support.

Back at the front line.

With the support of the annihilation ship and the girls, the pressure on the Players was greatly reduced. Fewer and fewer spiders were able to invade the shallows.

But the portal ahead seemed tireless, constantly spitting out clumps of spiders.

After observing for a long time, Chen Fan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the world channel.

It was still filled with wailing and howling, but the content of the Players' conversation made Chen Fan's brow furrow.

"It's over, we just fought out another blood-red skeleton; this thing can take three volleys of Archer fire!"

"What's so special about blood-red? We had an idiot earlier who kept blasting a skeleton. By the time we noticed, he'd turned it into a red skeleton with a golden tint!"

"Holy crap, for real? How did you kill it?"

"Don't ask. That skeleton charged all the way to the main city. We spent two hundred thousand Crew Members to pile up their lives and kill it."

"..."

"Terrifyingly powerful."

"Luckily, Huaxia Boss told us the secret to clearing it last time, so we didn't blast these skeletons this time, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable."

"You're telling me. These things turn bright red after being killed three times, and when they come in batches, no one can stop them."

"Are you serious? I feel like District One could stop them."

"Even District One couldn't stop them! I said it! But still, praise Huaxia Boss."

"Praise Huaxia."

"Praise! Huaxia Boss's side has probably finished clearing them out by now, right?"

"Should be about done. The portal isn't spitting out skeletons anymore."

"There are too many skeletons on the shallows here, blocking the road for too long. District One should be clearing faster."

"..."

Chen Fan chuckled, "As expected, the invisible spiders are only targeting our district."

"I just wonder if the mission will end once they finish clearing the skeletons."

Thinking of this, Chen Fan opened the guardian channel, which he hadn't opened in a long time.

His gaze lingered on the last district to speak.

"@District 985, private message me."

Instantly, the long-silent channel began to spam messages.

"A rare guest! Why is the Huaxia Big Shot showing up?"

"Could it be he's already cleared it and wants to see our progress?"

"Possible. Big shot, we have over a hundred thousand Skeleton Soldiers left. What's the situation on your end?"

"That fast? I have about two hundred thousand left here."

Chen Fan ignored their spamming messages, instead clicking the friend request on District 985's avatar and waiting quietly.

Soon, a notification sounded; the friend request was accepted.

[Successfully added friend: Qiushui.]

"Huaxia Big Shot, is there something I can help you with?"

Qiushui didn't send a voice message, but instead took the trouble to type out a line of text.

Chen Fan didn't mind and asked directly: "How many do you have left?"

"Over twenty thousand, it should be over soon."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, "Do you want annihilation supplies?"

On the other side.

When Qiushui saw the message, her heart began to thud wildly.

One must know that in the entire game, Players had at most obtained some superpower supplies.

Annihilation supplies had always been seen as exclusive to the china, and currently, no one else could obtain them.

Taking a deep breath, Qiushui typed with trembling hands: "I do, but I probably don't have supplies of equal value to trade with you."

"It's fine, just trade whatever."

Chen Fan smiled and requested a trade, putting up a hundred each of eye of annihilation and annihilation particles.

The moment she saw the annihilation supplies, Qiushui's long eyelashes fluttered continuously.

She swallowed hard and subconsciously put up a thousand superpower supplies.

A split second before clicking 'agree' to the trade, her whole body shuddered.

"Wait!"

"Why would the china suddenly give me supplies? And ask how many skeletons we have left?"

Suddenly, the notification about the Coalition Forces' district being wiped out flashed in her mind.

"Could it be..."

Qiushui's breath hitched as she typed out a message with difficulty:

"Huaxia Big Shot, we have no ill will toward you, nor are we any threat."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's expression soured.

"What do you mean? You think I'm some kind of bandit or robber?"

"No, no, no... that's not what I meant," Qiushui defended herself repeatedly.

"Then trade quickly, stop wasting time. If you keep stalling, I'll hit you."

"Oh..."

[Trade successful. Obtained: superpower supplies x 100,000.]
