True Apocalypse Game

RAT-A-TAT-TAT... A stream of bullets sprayed upwards from the automatic rifle.

A piercing shriek echoed from above. Shen Feng and Witch Tower simultaneously dove forward and to the right. With a THUD, a giant eagle with a four-to-five-meter wingspan crashed down right where they had been standing.

Though called a giant eagle, the creature was covered in thick scales, had four claws, and a half-meter-long, scimitar-like beak. It was clearly a creature conjured from imagination.

Although it possessed life, it had not the slightest hint of intelligence or even consciousness. It was nothing more than a walking corpse.

Or perhaps, a biological machine.

This indirectly confirmed one of Shen Feng's earlier theories.

But he only managed a glance back while sprinting, not daring to look closer. In the sky not far off, three more dark figures were rapidly diving toward him and Witch Tower!

At the same time, the vicious wolves and beasts across the island accelerated their mad dash, running so hard that their own muscles and bones began to tear. In an instant, they were right behind Shen Feng and Witch Tower.

Shen Feng stopped, emptied his magazine to fell several beasts, then abruptly tossed his rifle aside. He pulled out a grenade, yanked the pin, and hurled it.

BOOM!

A huge explosion blew several beasts to smithereens, but more monsters, hundreds of them, kept pouring in relentlessly.

This seemed to be the limit of this Quantum Force Field's power, but it was still more than enough to deal with them.

The slight delay was all it took. The three eagle-like monsters were now right above them!

Shen Feng frowned, taking out another grenade and preparing to toss it upwards.

But the distance was far too short; he and Witch Tower would easily be hit by the shrapnel. If worse came to worst, his only option was to grab Witch Tower and shield him with his own body.

A fierce gust of wind swept down as the three monsters descended rapidly. With no time to think, Shen Feng moved to pull the grenade pin.

BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG...

Just then, the sound of cannon fire erupted. The three descending monsters were instantly blasted into clouds of blood mist.

Following that, the other pursuing beasts were also blown to pieces, their mangled flesh and blood splattering across the ground.

Shen Feng stopped and looked up. He and Witch Tower had made it close to the Sail Warship *Hope*. The ship's cannons were firing shell after shell, blasting the roaring horde of beasts!

The sounds of gunfire and grenade explosions had long since caught the attention of the sailors aboard the Sail Warship *Hope*.

Once they got a clear look at Shen Feng and Witch Tower, these loyal subordinates immediately followed Shen Feng's instructions and opened fire on the beast horde using the Sail Warship's armaments.

"Fuck!" Shen Feng cursed under his breath, grabbing Witch Tower and continuing to sprint forward.

He had only given these sailors a few days of simple training, and their accuracy wasn't very high.

Those last couple of hits were just lucky shots. If he lingered here for even a moment longer, he might find himself with a cannonball through the chest.

Sure enough, he had only dashed forward a few dozen meters when several shells swept past, instantly blasting a crater right where he had been standing.

Fortunately, the weapons firing from the Sail Warship were the smaller ship cannons and Close Defense Cannons. If it had been the main battery, a single shot would have obliterated everything within a hundred meters, leaving no escape for him and Witch Tower.

With the support of the ship's cannons, the once-ferocious imagined beasts were blown to smithereens, reduced to a gory mess of flesh and bone in the blink of an eye.

The beasts didn't regenerate after being blown up. Apparently, resurrection within this Quantum Force Field also consumed immense energy and couldn't continue indefinitely.

Moreover, they were now near the edge of the island, where the Quantum Force Field's energy had weakened considerably.

Shen Feng and Witch Tower were now directly below the Sail Warship, where two rope ladders had already been lowered.

The two grabbed the ladders and climbed quickly, soon arriving on deck.

Seeing Shen Feng and Witch Tower appear, the sailors on board hurriedly saluted.

"Captain."

"Mr. Witch Tower."

There had been no sign of them since they went ashore. The sailors had only glimpsed the great golden gate opening through gaps in the island's trees, but after that, they had no idea what was happening and were anxiously wringing their hands.

After hearing the gunfire and explosions, several sailors Shen Feng had trained immediately manned the cannon and machine gun stations, ready for battle. They had clearly proven their worth.

Shen Feng nodded and asked:

"Anything unusual on the ship?"

Although he was fairly certain the Quantum Force Field's range was limited to the island, Shen Feng still asked just to be cautious.

"After you and Mr. Witch Tower left, we all stayed on high alert. Nothing happened on the ship, but there was quite a commotion on the island..." Old Bill said with a worried expression. "Captain, what in the world is this place? Is it really... Heaven?"

He regretted the last question as soon as it left his mouth. If this really was some kind of Heaven, then what were those ferocious beasts that had been hunting them?

Shen Feng grinned. "Can't say it's Heaven, but it's a good place to daydream... Set sail! Circle the island! All weapon stations to battle readiness! Main battery, begin loading!"

As soon as Shen Feng gave the order, everyone on the warship sprang into action, and the Sail Warship entered full combat mode for the first time.

Witch Tower had been silent since boarding, rushing straight to his room. He now emerged carrying a spare Longbow and a quiver of Arrows. Seeing the ship's cannons turning as it pulled away from the shore to begin its patrol, he immediately turned to Shen Feng and demanded:

"Shen, what are you doing? Take us back to shore! I have to get back on land! I have to kill those damned Purifiers!"

Shen Feng smiled slightly. "No need for all that trouble," he said. "We have cannons. It's enough to sink the entire island."

"Sink the island?" Witch Tower was stunned. He quickly moved to block Shen Feng's path. "No, you absolutely can't do that! That great hall... that building must be preserved! It's humanity's last hope!"

"Relax. These cockroaches from the Purification Church aren't as fragile as you think." Shen Feng pushed Witch Tower aside and shouted to the main gunnery crew, "Aim for the spire of that building! Fire!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the main cannon, already prepared, let out a deafening roar that made the entire Sail Warship tremble. The immensely powerful, large-caliber shell trailed fire as it hurtled toward the distant hall!

From the sound alone, everyone understood the cannon's astonishing power. Just as they were still reeling, expecting the building to be obliterated, a flash of golden light flared above the hall. With a soft POP, the cannonball seemed to hit an invisible net. It transformed into a giant flower bud that slammed into the hall's dome, shattering into countless petal-like fragments!

From a distance, it looked as though a wave of red petals had just been shattered!

This bizarre yet hauntingly beautiful scene left every sailor on the ship stunned.

Shen Feng's face was expressionless as he gazed at the distant dome.

"All cannons, continue the attack. Do not stop."
