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

Chapter 90 No Hero
"...my troops were completely wiped out..."

Wang Lei's voice echoed in the command vehicle.

This spider-shaped command vehicle was speeding towards the fortress, with its huge tires kicking up layers of dust.

Through the car window, one can see a large number of armored groups following from far and near, each unit is traveling at full speed and conducting simple reorganization on the move.

Dongfang Zhenghong left enough firepower in the center of the desert to eliminate the wandering blade beasts.

As for the fortress, the most important thing now is to transport enough drones and the corresponding control center back and find a way to seal the hole on the 49th floor.

In the holographic projection, the cross-sectional view of the fortress was enlarged several times. The red dots representing the blade beast group had already rushed into the 49th floor and were rapidly charging towards the 48th floor.

Yes, these blade beasts were not in a hurry to slaughter humans on the 49th floor. They were crazy, but had a clear purpose. There were three general-level blade beasts that had not yet grown up commanding them underground.

"Blow up the connecting road to 4849!"

"Yes!"

Dongfang Zhenghong said quickly: "Where are the defense forces!"

"The vanguard has begun to enter the central city! It will take a lot of time to transport the heavy firepower!"

"The self-destruct device of the connecting road has been activated! Three, two, one, it has been blown up successfully!"

"Automatic weapons activated at level 49! Full fire! The blade beasts are stacked up and moving upwards!"

Dongfang Zhenghong said firmly, "Tell them to hurry up! Move faster! Close the fire escape gates on all floors except the 45th! All floors of the fortress enter airtight mode! These blade beasts should want to break through our garrison!"

"Yes!"

"Increase the detection frequency! Is the psychic responding?"

"They have replied! They will guard the middle and upper cities!"

Dongfang Zhenghong narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not say much. Instead, he said: "Make a call! Tell Fortress 76 to thank them for their efforts! Send the order to each team! Tell the fortress garrison! The life and death of the humans in the fortress depends on them! Let the captains of each team guard the key points according to their tasks!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhengde suddenly shouted: "Commander! A short-range missile was launched towards the fortress, a blank!"

Dongfang Zhenghong frowned and looked at Zhou Zhengde.

Zhou Zhengde did not hesitate and directly showed a picture to Dongfang Zhenghong.

That is the perspective provided by the camera mounted on the missile.

Wang Jixuan, wearing a helmet and a black combat uniform, put on thick heat-insulating gloves and held the front of the missile tightly.

This missile, which can calculate its own trajectory and flight control track, targets the wasteland in the southwest corner of the fortress.

What's the point of him going back alone? Dongfang Zhenghong didn't understand.

Moreover, even if he could withstand the acceleration of a supersonic missile, how could he stop it?
Although Dongfang Zhenghong really wanted to ask this, he didn't have time to pay attention to these things now. He nodded to Zhou Zhengde and continued to dispatch the garrison troops and select defense points.

The first combat force will arrive at the forty-fifth floor in six minutes;
Most of the fortress's heavy firepower cannot be transferred to the interior of the fortress in a short period of time.

A bold and crazy idea took shape in Dongfang Zhenghong's mind.

A fortress is not a tall building, it is embedded in the earth, and each layer can support itself independently... He is the commander, and he must protect the main body of the fortress, the people, machines, and industrial capacity.

Therefore, it is crucial whether the remaining garrison can stop this group of blade beasts.

"commander!"

The female technician at the side stood up suddenly, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to remain calm.

She reported quickly: "According to the surveillance footage of the fortress, blade beasts appeared and underwent devouring mutations. Some blade beasts evolved into flying wings similar to those of mid-level blade beasts, and their shells softened. This evolution occurred on the forty-eighth and forty-ninth floors!"

Dongfang Zhenghong rushed to the female technician's operating table in two steps.

On a dozen or so stacked projection screens, blade beasts were devouring each other. The winged blade beasts staggered into flight, then broke away from the group of blade beasts surging forward and flew directly to the forty-sixth floor.

There are already hundreds of them!

They... are going to go to the seventh floor, cut off the connection between the middle and upper cities, prevent the surface garrison and subsequent human reinforcements from entering the middle and lower cities, and then start killing and retaliating against the middle and lower cities!
The young kingworm of this group of blade beasts is dead, they are just taking revenge!

Dongfang Zhenghong quickly gave the order: "Close the fire gates on all floors of the central city immediately! Close the elevators! Open all elevator shafts! The passages on the seventh and sixth floors must not be lost! This is the main way to advance downwards! Even the human piles must be used to guard it! Where are the psychics! Let them go together!"

"Yes!"

In the middle of the sand table, red dots rushed up rapidly.

They rushed into the 46th floor and rushed towards the fire escapes in all directions. A small number of them encountered psychics, while most of them entered the fire escapes and rushed upwards at high speed.

Dongfang Zhenghong walked back to his seat, slowly sat down holding the handle, and took a deep breath.

……

Woo, woo!

Urgent warnings sounded throughout the thirteenth floor of Fortress 76.

Wei Na patted the heads of the two young nurses in front of her and said:
"You guys just stay in this bathroom and don't come out. I'll go see if they need military medical care."

"Sister Na, don't go!"

"It's okay. I can use a gun."

Wei Na quickly took off her high heels and changed into the lightweight sterile shoes she used for surgery, smiling gently:

“The configuration of all rooms in the central city is the same. This alloy door can withstand the attacks of some low-level blade beasts.

"If you hear an order to close the elevator shaft and fire gates, that's real trouble. It means the blade beasts have already attacked. Each fire valve is fifty centimeters thick.

"Okay, you guys stay here first, I'll go see if they need any help."

"Hey, Sister Na!"

Wei Na waved her hand, closed the bathroom door, grabbed the first aid kit beside her, took the pistol that she had obtained through her connections after the "Hua Ge incident", checked the bullets, loaded them, and rushed out of the medical room quickly with the first aid kit on her back.

A team of security guards happened to be passing by outside.

"How can I help?"

"Doctor Wei Na! Please go to the police shelter immediately! We are on patrol! The blade beasts are breaking through from the 49th floor! The lower city cleanup team is said to be gone."

Wei Na asked: "Is there any elevator available?"

"It should be possible. The central elevator should be able to do it!"

"Okay, thank you," Wei Na turned and ran towards the central elevator.

In her understanding, the military would definitely need a large number of medical staff later, so she could report to the military camp, take the elevator from the 13th floor to the 7th floor and then transfer to the 6th floor, where she would be able to find the elevator that went directly to the military camp on the surface.

However, Wei Na had just run two steps.

Woo, woo——

After a long siren, an electronic female voice broadcast the following in various locations in the fortress:

"Attention, residents of the fortress, please return to your residences immediately and lock your doors. Please don't panic, we are dealing with a small group of blade beasts."

"Attention, residents of the fortress, return immediately to..."

"Please note that in order to prevent the spread of blade beasts, the elevator shaft segmentation has been activated and the elevator has been deactivated."

"Please note that the fire gates are closing. Please do not go outside the fire gates. All residents please return to your homes immediately and lock your doors."

Is the situation already that bad?

Wei Na was just about to go back to the clinic to comfort the two young colleagues who had just arrived when a loud shout suddenly came from the capillary pathway in the distance:
"Quick! Someone come quickly! Who knows the equipment? Fire door No. 6 is stuck!"

Wei Na was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran in that direction.

Many figures were running towards Fire Gate No. 6. The main body of the fortress has existed for decades, and there is a high possibility that the circuits have aged. The fire gates are devices used to block each floor, and there are as many as four ways to open them. Wei Na has carefully read the fortress manual.

Doctors of this era all know something about the maintenance of medical equipment.

Wei Na soon met seven or eight men and women. They exchanged glances and without saying much, ran towards fire door number six together.

A few minutes later, Wei Na arrived at the scene panting.

There were already seven or eight security team members in the corridor leading to the fire door. A heavy valve that had been half-fallen was stuck and a series of electric sparks came out of the wall in the corner next to it.

It turns out that the line is aging.

"Here I come! Intermediate mechanic!"

A middle-aged man shouted, rushed to the corner wall, and skillfully pulled open the hidden valve on the wall, and a faint smoke appeared from it.

There are professionals.

Everyone was visibly relieved.

suddenly……

The buzzing sound of flapping wings entered Wei Na's ears.

Wei Na was stunned for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked at the half-fallen fire door. Wei Na leaned forward slightly and looked at the dark fire escape.

The black vertical pupil that appeared on the white conjunctiva happened to meet Wei Na's eyes.

A slender blade beast, with its six sharp blade limbs retracted and its two pairs of thin crystalline wings vibrating, looked like an oversized wasp.

Wei Na pulled out her pistol and shot immediately!

The blade beast suddenly rushed forward from being suspended in mid-air and drilled directly under the valve!
boom!Boom!

"shot!"

Wei Na's shout shortened the reaction time of the security team members.

Three or four people opened fire at the same time, and two people were busy pulling the safety pin, and the blade beast's raised blade limb had already swept past.

The middle-aged man who was concentrating on repairing the lines opened his eyes wide. His upper body suddenly lost support. Before he felt the pain, his body had already fallen downwards.

"what--"

"Blade Beast!"

Screams, gunshots, the fluttering of wings.

Wei Na emptied her pistol and turned around and ran. She had discovered that these bullets from the pistol and rifle, except for slightly hindering the movement of the blade beast, could not penetrate the exoskeleton of the mutated blade beast at all!

The two security team members screamed, and the blade beast locked its eyes on Wei Na. It flapped its wings and rushed forward, its body fully unfolded in the narrow passage.

"Doctor Wei, get out of the way!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Wei Na looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards her.

The leading man, wearing a black helmet and having a pair of mechanical prosthetic arms, was holding a metal copper pipe more than three meters long and rushed past Wei Na, shouting.

Lan Yuzai? The Good Man Gang?
Don’t go…

The metal copper tube was pressed against the chest of the blade beast!

Lan Yuzai gritted his teeth and yelled, his body suddenly stopped and he was pushed back.

But behind him, seven or eight young men in sportswear had already rushed up, shouting and holding onto the rear end of the metal pipe, barely holding off the blade beast!

The blade beast slowly tilted its head, as if it was thinking, and its vertical pupils expressed disdain.

Then, the white conjunctiva on its face retracted on its own, revealing its terrifying mouthparts.

The circles of sharp teeth were like eyes, staring at Lan Yuzai and his younger brothers.

ah--

A mental shock visible to the naked eye swept over!

Several people behind Lan Yuzai screamed at the same time. Lan Yuzai, who was the first to be hit, gritted his teeth and groaned. His pair of mechanical prosthetic limbs tightly grasped the metal pipe, and his muscles all over his body were throbbing!

Behind the helmet, blood appeared on his ears and eyes, and meaningless screams came out of his mouth.

Two figures rushed from behind.

It was Lin Xiong and Lin Yong who were sent by Zhou Zhengde to take Wei Na to the shelter on the thirteenth floor!
They rushed in front of Lan Yuzai, each grabbed two miniature grenades, and while the blade beast had not yet closed its mouth after releasing the shock wave, they threw the grenades into its mouthparts!
boom!
Green blood splatters!

——The strength of these blade beasts that have evolved wings is far inferior to the mutated blade beast that Wang Jixuan had encountered in the passage. Their defensive capabilities are even slightly inferior to those of low-level basic blade beasts. Their main evolutionary directions are mobility, offensiveness, and lightweight.

The blade beast's corpse slowly fell to the ground.

Lan Yuzai knelt on the ground holding the metal pipe, his eyes wide open.

In front of him, Lin Yong and Lin Xiong were affected by the explosion. The skin on one's back was almost blown off, and the other's thigh was pierced by a piece of blade beast exoskeleton.

Valve! Fire valve!
Wei Na resisted the urge to vomit and rushed towards the valve, dragging her extremely sleepy body.

If we connect the wires that the engineer just grabbed, we should be able to temporarily bypass the burned passage?

Buzz. Buzz.

The dense flapping sound of wings appeared beside her ears. Wei Na was trembling all over. Her spirit was already at the end of its strength. She gently touched the two wires and saw a faint electric spark.

The bladed beast hovered outside.

More than one.

They are attracted by the corpses of their own kind inside.

Wei Na pressed the two wires together, and the valve vibrated slightly. There were still several sets of unconnected wires below.

Those blade beasts are about to rush in!
"Ah, ah!" Wei Na kept shouting because of nervousness, and tears were almost coming out.

Lan Yuzai, who was kneeling there, shook his head vigorously, his Adam's apple trembling constantly. He lowered his head tremblingly and saw the faded pink talisman on his chest.

Lan Yuzai just happened to see that the three mutant blade beasts were staring at him, staring at his mechanical arm.

They seem to be afraid.

Did you mistakenly think that his prosthetic limbs were the same thing as the battle girl's mechanical arms?
Dr. Wei Na was standing there.

Lan Yuzai stood up tremblingly, staring at the blade beasts fiercely, grabbed the grenade bag on Lin Xiong's waist, took out a miniature grenade, pressed the button to activate the grenade, ran forward, and dived with his head down.

The three blade beasts dodged backwards. Lan Yuzai stood firmly on the platform outside, jumped up, and pounced on the nearest blade beast.

He stuffed the activated miniature grenade back into the grenade bag and suddenly opened his arms.

呲.

A blade limb pierced Lan Yuzai's chest.

Lan Yuzai's body shook a few times, and he suddenly grasped the blade beast's legs with both hands and pressed the grenade bag against the blade beast's chest.

A series of somewhat unbearable scenes flashed before his eyes, as did a dozen timid and powerless faces.

"Ah, no chance to hang out with the big guys."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't very sensible before..."

boom!
Wei Na was blown away by the surging flames, and the slightly shaking fire gate fell down heavily.
