Chapter 127: War
As time passed, the attacks intensified, like a suffocating downpour that made it almost impossible to breathe. Shells whistled through the air in arcs, crashing into the ground ahead and triggering horrific explosions. The entire battlefield was filled with shouts and explosions, and the choking smell of gunpowder and blood permeated the smoky air.
Time crawled by.
Sanna and the others had suffered various injuries, and some had even died. But the number of monsters… seemed endless, showing no signs of dwindling, as if they hadn’t lost a single combatant. Only the thick layer of “meat paste” on the ground served as proof that their efforts were not in vain.
“If only we had a ‘High-Energy Plasma Tower’…” Russell shook his head, trying to rein in his wandering thoughts while catching his breath and frowning. “Where are all these mutants coming from? Why are there so many? They’re impossible to kill…”
“Their numbers are suspicious! There’s definitely something wrong!”
The sheer quantity of mutants were absurd. While there were many suffering people in this world, they were scattered across every corner, not concentrated in a single area like this—unless this region had been a massive battlefield in the past. But considering the improvised weapons—hoes and sticks rather than military-issue arms—it seemed unlikely.
Russell speculated that something must be wrong with these suffering people. If they didn’t figure out the root cause, no matter how many they killed, they would never be able to stop them.
But what was the problem?
Hearing his words, Li Chou, who was at a loss, glanced back at Colin on the gray stone throne… Though the light shadow had fused with him somewhat, and the struggles had lessened, Colin was clearly still asleep.
