In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 89 Lost
Command communications.

"what?"

The half-human mecha Deep Sea felt that he had heard wrongly.

"It is very likely that there is a new nest of blade beasts under Fortress 76? This is impossible! Unless there is a new underground burrowing variant of blade beasts, which allows them to move in the strata below two thousand meters and fight against the strong crustal pressure! Is it possible for such an underground passage to exist? And if there is such a new variant, why doesn't it come to support the young kingworm? It only needs to go deep underground and destroy the passage, and we can't chase it!"

Dongfang Zhenghong said quickly: "I don't want to believe this conclusion either, but the people who pointed out this possibility were Wang Zheng and Wu Man."

Outside the command vehicle.

More than a dozen medium to large multi-rotor aircraft have taken off, dragging the mechas and armored vehicles of the emergency mobile forces below, and are moving rapidly towards the fortress.

Fortunately, the process of encircling and suppressing the young kingworms went smoothly. The emergency mobile forces in the three locations were not used, and two tactical nuclear bombs eliminated a king-level blade beast that had not grown up.

Now, these emergency forces can quickly return to the fortress, and it only takes two hours and twenty-five minutes to travel...

Dongfang Zhenghong said in a deep voice: "Report the damage to your three robotic arms."

"Lingtong's mechanical arm suffered an electromagnetic shock. The two of us are wrapped in external mechas. The main body is in good condition. She needs maintenance."

Deep Sea said quickly:
“Please have our supply convoy move toward the fortress and we will catch up from behind.

“Maintenance will take at least half an hour. Lingtong will activate her backup robotic arm, and the two of us will rush over first.

"Now I just hope that if... there really is a new nest of young kingworms under Fortress 76, the fortress's own defense barrier can hold out for two hours."

Dongfang Zhenghong said: "I have already contacted the Archon. Once the Blade Beast is discovered, the independent protection devices on each level of the fortress will be activated immediately. Fortress No. 76 plays an important cornerstone role in the Zhonggu Basin War Zone and the D5 Comprehensive War Zone. I will immediately apply for support from the two-level command center!"

Shenhai did not reply.

Dongfang Zhenghong took a deep breath and kept himself calm, although his fingers were already trembling slightly.

He looked aside.

Zhou Zhengde sat in the position of a technician with a projection screen in front of him.

What was shown on the projection screen was the scene inside an aircraft.

Wang Jixuan was putting a nano mask on his face, with the black tactical helmet next to him.

Wu Man and two technicians accompanying him are debugging a simple signal amplifier. The power of this amplifier is not very good and the coverage range is limited, but the advantage is that it can be carried around.

These instruments are very complex.

Dongfang Zhenghong kept thinking.

There are also two B-class psykers, a dozen C-class psykers, and more than twenty D/E-class psykers in the fortress.

If a blade beast disaster breaks out, they should be able to play a role.

Now we don't know when the blade beast disaster will occur. There will be a large number of larvae with soft exoskeletons in the nest of the young kingworms. If we can delay it until the mobile forces can rush back...

"Sir! Blade Beast Response! Blade Beast Response detected 76 meters below Fort !"

Dongfang Zhenghong sat up suddenly and almost shouted, "Map! Stereoscopic map!"

call out!
A three-dimensional image of the fortress appeared in the center of the holographic sand table in front of him, with a cross-section of the fortress next to it.

The fortress is like a standard round barrel, embedded in the shallow crust. Inside it are forty-nine layers of varying heights, marked by blue, green and yellow according to the upper, middle and lower cities.

There are seven or eight marked "thin layers" outside the fortress, including the outer wall of the fortress, the external composite wall, the multi-layer armored wall, the self-defense infinitely thickened wall, etc.

Outside these walls, there is a dark area with a thickness of about three hundred meters. It is a triggered minefield filled with a large number of mechanical mines that will be detonated as long as the burrowing beast touches it.

This layer of defense, in theory...

A flashing red dot appeared below the stereoscopic image of the fortress.

Dongfang Zhenghong held his breath and stared.

A red dot paused slightly near the bottom of the minefield, rose forward a small grid, and then fell rapidly.

The second red dot then appeared, rose one small grid again, fell quickly, and then moved forward again, rising two small grids before falling diagonally.

The minefield was passed.

Two 'Drillworm' blade beasts were killed or injured.

The third red dot entered the detection range, rose rapidly, passed through the gap in the minefield, and reached the outer wall of the composite defense layer.

"It can be blocked. This layer can definitely be blocked. This layer must be blocked!"

Dongfang Zhenghong almost clenched his palms until they bled.

The red dot suddenly jumped up a lot!

The three-dimensional projection of the fortress instantly turned red!
Dense red dots appeared below and rushed towards the passage!

"The defense has been breached!"

"The fortress was attacked by a group of blade beasts!"

"Blade beasts appeared at the bottom of the lower city! A large number of blade beasts! The confirmed number is... 4,000! And it's still rising!"

Dongfang Zhenghong cursed loudly. He just wanted to ask why the bottom defense zone had no effect at all!
"Activate the layered independent defense equipment! Send the psychics down! Where are the fortress clearing troops!"

"There is a firefight!"

"Let them die, hold on! Damn it! Why is the bottom defense belt ineffective?!"

"Professor Zhuang and Kong Nu's secret laboratory was dug too deep to avoid routine inspections, and a camouflage layer was laid. The bottom has never been breached before..." Zhou Zhengde's Adam's apple trembled, "Probably."

On the screen in front of Zhou Zhengde.

Wang Jixuan, who had learned about the situation in the fortress through communication, leaned back in his seat.

"Is there any way to get back faster?" Wang Jixuan asked softly.

Zhou Zhengde frowned and thought.

Wu Man whispered, "There is a way. I saw it in the Battle Girl's violation manual. A Battle Girl once used this method to rush to the battlefield. However, this requires a missile and a body that can withstand super acceleration."

Wang Jixuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded.

This is better than doing nothing.

……

five minutes ago.

The 76th floor of Fort No. , the former territory of the Black Fire Gang and the base of the purge troops.

Wang Lei, commander of the purge force, leaned against an armored vehicle, with battle reports from the front line constantly popping up on the screen on his wrist.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sturdy build and a square face. He has worked in the fortress cleanup team for twenty years. He is considered a well-known figure in the 76th Fortress Garrison and can directly apply to see the Archon. "Captain, what's wrong? Did you kill the baby kingworm?"

A team member nearby asked curiously.

"It's solved," Wang Lei laughed, "Three battle girls attacked at the same time, and there were also psychics coming from the front line of the war zone, and two tactical nuclear bombs were used."

The armored vehicle team took the opportunity to say, "Captain, how about we celebrate for them? Let's go have a couple of drinks!"

“Drinking is not allowed during working hours.”

Wang Lei clicked his tongue:
"When this stationing mission is over, I will apply for a vacation for you. Then I will treat you to a desert barbecue dinner!"

Several people laughed and cheered.

The command watch on Wang Lei's wrist suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, and a red frame popped up on it.

The order came from Dongfang Zhenghong at the front-line command.

[The fortress may be attacked by a group of blade beasts, and the attack direction is most likely directly below. Please prepare for the battle immediately. ]

Wang Lei was stunned for a second, then he thought of something, rushed back to the armored vehicle, and pressed the red button in front of him.

"Everyone! Immediately enter combat mode! Issue a warning of bladed beast disaster! All heavy firepower must be set up at high points! Quick! Light up the entire area! Issue a warning of bladed beast disaster! Have everyone hide in small spaces such as refrigerators or sewers as much as possible!"

The cleanup troops' base, which was originally in a semi-relaxed state, suddenly became a little panicked.

But they are all well-trained and often conduct emergency maneuver drills. Dozens of armored vehicles here have been started and quickly assembled under the dispatch of Wang Lei.

Rumbling--

Suddenly, a dull explosion was heard from deep in the earth.

The ground was shaking slightly.

The simple houses shook off a little dust.

The explosions stopped temporarily, but just over twenty seconds later, another explosion was heard, and the explosions were getting closer and closer, and the shaking of the ground was becoming more and more obvious.

suddenly!

woo-

Several huge red lights lit up on the ceiling of the 49th floor, and shrill alarms sounded on all levels of the fortress.

Boom!
The earth shook, and several low buildings in the northwest corner of the Black Fire Gang suddenly collapsed!

"Over there! Turn on the light!"

Wang Lei circled a red dot on the map, and several searchlights immediately shone over there.

The sunken pit slanted downward in an irregular oval shape. It seemed that nothing could come out of it, and the buildings blocked the entrance.

There is a suffocating wave in the air!
The biological detector suddenly turned red!
Wang Lei looked at the densely packed red dots on the instrument, his face pale and his breathing rapid, but his gaze remained unwavering.

"A large number of blade beasts are attacking. Attention! A large number of blade beasts are attacking! The first ones to rush out should be the drill worms. Don't pour out your firepower immediately. The drill worm blade beasts have hard skulls and exoskeletons. Our firepower cannot break through their armor..."

A black shadow rushed out from the slanted cave!
A giant blade beast that was over thirty meters long, with completely degenerated limbs and a mouthpart that had evolved to the point where it could break diamonds, rushed out of the cave!

It opened its mouth and swallowed most of the construction debris that blocked the entrance of the cave. Its huge body completely broke away from the entrance of the cave due to inertia and smashed down the low building next to it.

Following closely behind, a low-level basic blade beast crawled out of the cave, opened its mouth and let out a sharp roar.

"Team one, fire!"

Wang Lei yelled.

The soldiers, with their anti-human guns and cannons, unleashed their fire at the same time.

The terrifying-looking blade beast's mouth gushed out green blood, and its limbs were shattered by the armor-piercing bullets of the rapid-fire cannon, with broken limbs and blood spilling all over the ground.

Everyone held their breath and the soldiers gripped their guns tightly.

There was a intensive scraping sound in the cave.

That was the sound of feet scraping against the rock wall.

Wang Lei looked at the number of red dots on the biological radar... getting closer and closer, and more and more...

That slanted hole was like a water pipe filled with water, suddenly gushing out!

The group of blade beasts is gushing out!

In just two seconds, hundreds of blade beasts jumped out of the slanted hole!

They rushed towards the armored vehicles and the crowd. The firepower of the purge troops, which was enough to suppress all human gangs, seemed so fragile and weak in front of them!
Armored vehicles were repeatedly overturned.

The soldier holding the gun stepped back and fired, but the blade beast that quickly rushed in front of him easily pierced his chest with its front legs, and the bulletproof vest had no effect.

A fast-moving assassin-type blade beast rushed into the crowd, and several soldiers screamed as their chests were cut off directly.

"Open fire! Coverage fire!"

"what!"

"We don't have enough firepower! Not enough firepower!"

"Grenade! Throw the grenade!"

"Fire with the pulse cannon! Damn it! I'm going to fight you!"

The sound in the headphones quickly became less and less, while the roars became more and more. On the screen in front of him, the army of several hundred people was quickly reduced to only a hundred people.

Wang Lei pressed the button in front of him:

"Calling the command center, the 49th floor has been lost, our troops have been annihilated, it is recommended to blockade the lower city."

After saying that, he dropped his rifle and rushed out of the empty armored vehicle in two steps.

Several team members set up guns on both sides of the armored vehicle and fired wildly. Wang Lei crouched and rushed towards the overturned armored vehicle not far away, and picked up a multi-barrel machine gun that fell on the ground.

His command vehicle was overturned by several blade beasts, and several team members only left behind two final screams.

Wang Lei grabbed the multi-barreled machine gun and aimed it at the mouthparts of a blade beast. Veins bulged on his forehead and his ferocious face was illuminated by the gunfire.

"Fuck you guys!"

The mouthparts of a blade beast were quickly smashed.

A dark shadow rushed past Wang Lei from behind, and his upper body holding the gun slid backwards.

The gunfire stopped.
