Terror Infinity

The s.h.i.+p shook violently. Everyone knew the battle had begun. The lieutenant jumped out as soon as the door opened, followed by the three troopers. The others stood there silently.

"Just like we had planned. Kill all the bugs and humans on the way. If we happen to meet the other team, kill them along! Live on with all we have. We will first clear all the bugs and people nearby then head toward Platoon 6. The battle begins!"

Everyone brought out their weapons. Kampa had his huge EMP rifle. Zero’s Gauss sniper rifle wasn’t as cool looking but his expressionless face brought the cool factor up.

w.a.n.gXia took out many plasma weapons the size of half a fist. He hung them all to his body. Fortunately, the plasma weapons were quite stable that neither high heat nor impact could trigger them. Otherwise, these plasmas weapons would take their lives.

Gando also got his bear robot. He did not hesitate climbing into the c.o.c.kpit this time. Then he picked up the Gatling cannon Zheng placed on the ground. The robot didn’t look too great but its fingers were well made. It looked dexterous holding the Gatling cannon then jumped off the s.h.i.+p.

"Put your dragonshard necklace on. As soon as you notice its glow dimming, come right to me. I will refill its energy. Be careful of ambushes from beneath. And be careful of the tactical nukes. Kill all the humans that’s not one of us!"

Zheng said to them and brought out Tiger’s Soul. The moment this weapon appeared, a layer of red light filled the s.h.i.+p. Everyone here quivered slightly. Then Kampa and Zero exited the s.h.i.+p.

The outside was rather dim. The clouds of this planet looked quite thick that it blocked sunlight from reaching the earth. The color of the sky looked similar to dawn but the place was loud in contrast. Troopers were coming out of transportation s.h.i.+ps continuously. Many of them seemed like new recruits. Some were even excited and in high spirits. There was no sign of worry for this war. It was as though this was a trip or a game.

Zheng walked out of the s.h.i.+p and saw these troopers ran past him. The three troopers from his squad also ran away. Kampa said by his ears. "You call this an army? Just a bunch of mobs."

Xuan stood behind Zheng and said calmly. "Nothing to be surprised about. The people in this world are different from our world. There is only one government in this Earth. War hadn’t happened for a long time. The army is more like a planetary expedition. That’s the cause for the huge casualty in the first invasion. The higher officials in this world are truly idiotic mortals."

The rest of the team looked at each other then laughed dryly. A middle age lieutenant noticed the group of seven, especially the bear robot that looked totally out of place. It shouldn’t appear in serious battle. So he walked towards them.

The lieutenant said in a cold voice. "What is your&h.e.l.lip;"

A red light flashed across following Zheng’s hand as soon as he spoke. The lieutenant who was three meters away moved his hand toward his chest in a confusion. His body began to slide off with this simple touch. Blood spurted out from his lower half and he fell off in two.

"Let’s begin. Don’t show any mercy! If you want to live, then kill every person who sees our weapons! Lan, scan Platoon 6 to the north."

Zheng gave a shout then charged toward the two troopers who were standing behind the lieutenant in totally shock. The Tiger's Soul slashed across when he was still three meters away and cut the troopers from their chests. Death didn’t come immediately. They wailed and struggled on the ground with their upper bodies.

Zheng didn’t look at the ground. His gazed ahead and said. "Zero, over there. Those two beside the transportation s.h.i.+p seemed like reporters. I remember the reporters were reporting the event live in the movie. Kill them!"

Kampa also began shooting at a spot crowded with troopers. He roared and pulled the trigger. Countless tiny bullets shoot through in speed not visible to the eyes. The outer most troopers were torn to pieces without making any noise. The EMP rifle’s power almost wiped the group of fifty in an instant. Merely a few survived by hiding in the holes on the ground. Waves of noise came from people around them and bullets were fired from those troopers.

The first to get hit was the bear robot that was standing on the outer most. Xuan embedded the dragonshard on the robot and had it powered by the energy reserve. So the barrier from the robot was the second toughest. The translucent barrier blocked all the bullets coming at it.

It lifted the Gatling cannon with seeming difficulty. However, it hesitated for some time before turning its head around. "Fumoffu?"

Zheng sighed and said. "Gando, fire! I won’t recharge your robot again

One minute later. There were no other living organisms on the field. The transportation s.h.i.+ps were also sniped by the gauss rifle and EMP rifle. The EMP rifle reaches beyond 4km and pierces armored plate within 1km easily. A few seconds of spray would burst a s.h.i.+p in flames. Zero’s attacks were much simpler as he aimed for the c.o.c.kpit. The Gauss sniper rifle would kill anything within the c.o.c.kpit. Not a single s.h.i.+p elevated above a 1km before being downed.

"50 points for each transportation s.h.i.+p." Zero picked the rifle back up and said to Zheng.

Kampa also said. "Right. 50 points each and one point for every 10 troopers."

Zheng sighed. "f.u.c.king G.o.d is obviously encouraging us to destroy everything. Whatever. Lan, located Platoon 6 yet? Search for a path with less troopers. It will be troublesome if we get recorded by cameras from the reporters. Don’t worry about the bugs. We shouldn’t have any problem with our weapons."

Lan nodded and said with her eyes closed. "About 17km away. But they are retreating toward our direction. A lot of bugs over there with endless surfacing from the ground. The bugs beneath us are also coming us, lots of them!"

Zheng shouted. "Send the image to w.a.n.gXia, Kampa, and me! Gando protect us. Zero and Xuan protect Lan."

The image of the scan appeared in Zheng’s mind. He could endless bugs that were two-meter-tall and three meter in length swarming to the surface near a hundred meter away through the tunnels. The surface collapsed before he could notify the others and revealed a hole. Huge bugs swarmed out. These bugs were moving at a speed twice that of normal people. The first bug was already charging at the seven of them.

The EMP rifle roared again. The first bug got shattered and the one directly behind was killed by the piercing bullets though its body was still in whole.

Gando had psychological hindrance killing bugs but not anymore. He fired the Gatling cannon. Its effect wasn’t nearly as strong as the EMP rifle. The cannon triggered sparks as they hit the bugs and took a whole second to kill one. Their killings delayed the bugs from coming out for a moment and bodies were piling up in front of them.

"We underestimated them. No wonder they killed an army of over a hundred thousand in just several hours. Kampa, continue shooting. Don’t let them come close. w.a.n.gXia, we can use ten plasma grenades."

Zheng exhaled then took out the two Sky Sticks. He was planning to proceed according to their plan. They would fly near Platoon 6 then find a chance to join the remaining troopers and follow them back to the stars.h.i.+p.

Just then, Lan said urgently with a frown. "I am going to cut off the scan and soul link for a while. They found us but that was a broad scan. They didn’t lock onto our psyche forces. Wait a bit. I will mask off their scan with psyche whip. I need thirty seconds."

Zheng immediately put down the Sky Sticks and stood next to Lan. His eyes defocused as he unlocked the first stage. This was a time where they were vulnerable to sneak attacks. They couldn’t tell when a bug ambushes them from beneath. The only thing he could do was rely on his sense for dangers.

That was when Zheng noticed Xuan wasn’t standing near the group. He ran over to the dead troopers and was picking up red sh.e.l.ls. He recognized these sh.e.l.ls were one of their goals in this movie, the tactical nukes. They were the size of a fist but had the power of a tier D sci-fi weapon.

Xuan suddenly threw away the sh.e.l.ls. Two gauss pistols slipped into his hands. Zheng then felt the ground shaking. He didn’t get the time to shout when the place Xuan was standing on collapsed, exposing several holes and the bugs coming out of them.

Zheng’s heart clenched tight. A bug was only three meters away from Xuan and those huge claws were approaching him. He placed a pistol over his shoulder and fired at the bug behind. The gauss pistol was at least more powerful than the Gatling cannon. The bullets pierced the bugs head with ease. Then the two pistols began whirling around in crazy speed. No matter where the bugs came up, the pistols would get them instantly. Xuan stood in the center calmly and nothing could get near three meters of him. Dead bugs were piling up in dozens around.

Lan said. "Done!"

Xuan had been shooting for ten seconds. He was still intact but Zheng could tell his movements were not as smooth and he was slowing down. This gunning technique consumed too much stamina. As soon as Lan reconnected Zheng to the scan, he charged over and shouted. "Lan, connect me with Xuan’s mind!"

He jumped down toward the hole while at the same time began a countdown for Xuan to stop.

"Stop!" Zheng said through his mind. He landed behind Xuan and slashed several bugs approaching in halves. Xuan exited his state and continued shooting only at the bugs in front.

"Lan, get w.a.n.gXia in the link. Xuan stop shooting when I say so. I will take you out of this hole. Nothing will come out of staying here. The number of bugs coming out are endless. We will eventually get covered with bug corpses."

He also said to w.a.n.gXia. "Set a plasma timed bomb to four seconds and throw it over when I say so!"

"Stop!" "Throw!"

Zheng gave a shout as he activated both his Qi and blood energy. He entered Explosion in under a second. The world seemingly turned into slow motion, even with the bugs’ speed. He grabbed Xuan by the shoulders then charged toward the edge of the hole.

This hole was about four meters deep. Zheng jumped then stepped on the edge to climb out. The timed bomb landed on the bottom of the hole at the same time. Four red sh.e.l.ls were also left on in the hole.

Zheng was running toward Lan with the movement technique as fast as he could. Lan couldn’t even react when he got her and Xuan to the ground. A several meter-high plasma ball appeared followed by multiple explosions and a mushroom cloud about a hundred meters from them. The cloud then covered everyone.
