Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

"Hiss hiss hiss... Roar!"

The Devouring Beasts began a full-scale invasion from all directions.

The first layer of the honeycomb grid, a pale blue, semi-transparent honeycomb energy network, instantly took shape, with electric arcs leaping wildly across its surface.

Like a torrential rain of acid bombs (from the Earth Roar) and high-speed bone spikes (from the Spiny Eel), the first to collide with the first layer of the electric grid.

The energy network flickered violently, deflecting or neutralizing most of the attacks, emitting piercing sizzling and crackling sounds. However, a small number of strong acids and highly penetrating bone spurs still managed to break through the first layer, leaving charred holes.

The second layer, a deep blue energy water curtain, is a thick energy barrier that, like a flowing deep sea, steadily catches any fish that slip through the net.

The powerful energy shock (the collective blue beams of the Calyx Beasts bombarding the Friend) struck it, like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, creating huge energy ripples that were quickly absorbed and dispersed, and the barrier's color visibly faded.

The third layer, a dense white light barrier, is an absolute defensive layer that extends twenty meters above the core building complex of the base, emitting a soft yet incredibly dense white light.

Any physical impact that manages to break through the first two layers (such as a boulder being thrown into the air or a crawling spiny insect attempting to force its way in) will be overloaded by the high-frequency pulse and reduced to dust upon impact.

The white light wall remained motionless, but the light flow on its surface was clearly accelerating.

Meanwhile, the defensive firepower at the base entrance was fully activated.

The slender barrel of the automatic energy gun, like the pointer of death, spins at high speed for precise bursts.

Beams of condensed plasma tore through the air, accurately piercing the heads of approaching snake-dogs, the cores of spiky eels, and the sonic sacs of earth-roaring creatures, instantly vaporizing them or causing severe damage.

The base's five thermal cannons emitted a deep metallic sound, and thick, orange-red high-temperature plasma jets swept across the leading horde of beasts like a torrent of lava.

Wherever the attack passed, the pack of snake dogs instantly vaporized, the earth-roar's bony armor melted, and the spiny eels were burned to charcoal, clearing large empty areas, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein.

However, the sheer number of beasts was terrifying; they charged forward relentlessly, fearless of death.

Ten thousand?

No, that number was updated within seconds.

Red dots from all directions almost covered the entire scanning interface. The triple energy grid barrier was under unprecedented pressure, especially the first and second layers. Under the continuous corrosion of acid, the barrage of bone spikes, the bombardment of energy beams, and the physical impact of a massive number of Devouring Beasts, the light dimmed rapidly.

"Warning: The Ark Base defense system is experiencing abnormal energy consumption. Currently, only 76%... 70%... 65%... 60%... 55%... 50%... Energy reserves are below the critical threshold of 40%..."

The alarm from the Loongson chip sounded like a death knell, and the faces of Chen Yuan and the other five were extremely grim.

Visible cracks and holes began to appear on the holographic barrier.

A large snake-headed creature hissed as it crawled through a breach in the first level, followed by a second, a third…

The spiny eel's bony spikes began to shoot sporadically towards the third layer of light barrier. Although they were instantly destroyed, they still consumed a certain amount of energy.

Many roars gathered energy and then blasted at the second layer of the electric grid, creating deep blue ripples that made the barrier increasingly transparent, clearly unable to hold for long.

Chapter 84 All-out Fight

"We can't wait any longer; the base's energy supply won't hold up if things continue like this."

Chen Yuan said sternly, "Shadow Squad, follow me into battle. Dragon Core, the base must maintain a minimum energy level, shut down the protection mechanisms in non-core areas, and concentrate energy to protect the core command room and residential areas. Iron Guard, Hellhound, and Black Hawk will remain at the base."

"Understood, Shadow Squad, assemble."

Mark's voice was filled with resolute fighting spirit.

"Get dressed!" Chen Yuan shouted in a low voice, and instantly, six streams of light flew in and out of the base's entrance.

The silver-gray Loongson 7 nanosuit covered Chen Yuan's entire body like mercury spilling onto the ground, its streamlined armor gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the red alarm light.

Vector nozzles under his feet and on his back instantly unfolded, spewing out blue and white nuclear fusion gas.

Mark was covered in matte black End Watcher armor, with blue hydraulic pipes at the joints resembling pulsating blood vessels, and dark gold energy patterns shone on the armor surface, exuding a sense of power.

The aircraft behind them unfolded, and a high-frequency particle oscillating blade instantly popped out, emitting a deep hum.

Ran Bing's Frost Oath Guardian mech features an ice-blue and silver-white color scheme, with V-shaped ice-blue goggles beneath the teardrop mask calmly scanning the surroundings.

The golden thorn relief on her waist glowed slightly, and the ice crystal cannon shield instantly formed on her left arm. Four floating cannons rose from the base on her back like ice crystal elves.

The orange and dark gray star-shaped mechs of Mo City are particularly eye-catching, like burning flames.

The reinforced structure on his legs allowed him to land steadily, and his two guns instantly transformed and combined in his hands.

The tactical shoulder cannon module on the shoulder is charging, emitting a dangerous red light.

The Snow White Night Chaser's silver-white armor, with its flowing blue veins, and V-shaped goggles locked onto the distance.

The electromagnetic railgun behind them deployed instantly, and four swarms of floating cannons silently hovered.

Erica's Storm Shark, with its orange-red reactive armor gaps surging with azure energy flow, its electromagnetic railguns on both arms beginning to preheat and rotate, its shoulder-mounted honeycomb missile covers opening, and its V-shaped eyepieces locking onto multiple targets.

"The shark is hungry! It wants to eat! It wants to eat!" she shouted excitedly.

"Base energy remaining at 20%, external defense system about to fail!" Loongson's final warning sounded.

Just as the light from the three barriers of the Ark Base suddenly went out.

"Shadow Squad, attack!!"

Chen Yuan took the lead, his jetpack bursting with maximum thrust, transforming him into a silver-gray meteor as he crashed directly into the horde of beasts pouring in through the breach.

Faced with the three-headed elite snake-dog rushing towards him, Chen Yuan's left arm nanounits instantly split and recombine.

The high-speed rotating alloy drill bit tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek.

"Pfft!"

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The sturdy bone armor was like paper in front of the nano-drill with a 900% power amplification. The three-headed serpent dog was instantly shredded into pieces, and the core of the spirit seed was crushed by the drill.

Raising his right palm, he aimed at a calyx beast charging up in the distance. A blinding beam of energy tore through the night sky and struck its exposed vocal sac precisely.

"Boom!"

The massive explosion blew half of the flower calyx beast's head off, and the blue energy wave in Chen Yuan's palm went silent, indicating that he had to conserve energy.

The next moment, Chen Yuan's left fingertip deformed, and five miniature armor-piercing bullets shot out instantly, like the fingernails of death, precisely piercing the cores of the five spiked eels that were attacking from the side.

He raised his right arm, and blazing white flames erupted, forming a fan-shaped wall of fire that ignited the swarming snakes and dogs, filling the air with their shrill roars and the stench of burning flesh.

Pressing his advantage, Chen Yuan's helmet eyes flashed with blue light, and two invisible quantum pulse rays shot out, immediately piercing through the two salamanders blocking his way and hitting the nurturing core on the back of a baby beast behind them.

The bear-bearer collapsed with a miserable howl, and its offspring scattered and fled.

Mark (the End Watcher), like a black war god, boldly leaped into the densest part of the snake-dog pack.

The high-frequency particle oscillation blade instantly transformed into a giant sword, with dark golden energy being poured into it.

"Break it on me!"

The giant sword slammed into the ground with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

"boom!"

A visible dark golden shockwave spread violently in a fan shape, sending dozens of snake-dogs flying into the air, their bone armor shattering and their cores exposed.

The low-level Devouring Beasts within the shockwave's range were instantly wiped out. Mark's Annihilation Shoulder Cannon fired simultaneously, and high-concentration ion bombs sniped the stunned large snake dogs and earth howls, creating a firepower suppression and regeneration effect.

Even when surrounded, Mark was not afraid at all. When he blocked the energy pulses from the side, his diamond-shaped energy shield instantly unfolded, steadily blocking several red energy waves. The surface of the shield only produced a ripple.

The Mark mech's AI electronic voice promptly alerted: "Energy consumption 18%, shield energy reduced by 35%, shockwave blade..."

Ran Bing (Frost Oath Guardian) slammed the ice crystal cannon shield heavily onto the ground.

"Barrier deployed..."

A deep blue energy field instantly spread out from her center, forming a huge semi-circular shield that firmly protected Chen Yuan's flanks and a part of his rear.

Several volleys of spiny eels' bone spikes and the energy pulses of the earth-roar slammed into the force field, producing a series of explosive sounds. The force field flashed with light but remained unmoved.

Freeze bomb!

Energy flowed through the center of the cannon shield, and the cannon muzzle extended, firing a freezing projectile emitting a chilling aura that struck a large earth roar attempting to break through the force field.

Frost spread instantly, freezing its massive body and vocal sacs, forcibly interrupting its regenerative abilities, and then it was torn apart by Mo Cheng's firepower.

"Floating Cannon - Sniper Mode!"

The four floating cannons, like nimble ice crystal butterflies, darted across the battlefield at high speed under Ran Bing's control.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh whoosh!"

Thin beams of blue freezing light precisely struck the snake-dogs that had been stunned and had their cores exposed by Chen Yuan, as well as the cores of some spiked eels that were trying to sneak up on them. Even the vocal sac connection of a flower-calyx beast in the distance was instantly frozen and pierced through its body.

On the other side, Mo City moved at high speed along the edge of the battlefield like a sudden storm.

The dual pistols maintained their assault rifle configuration, unleashing a terrifying rate of fire of 1800 rounds per minute with intelligently calibrated bullets.

The trajectory seemed to have eyes, precisely penetrating the cores of the Devouring Beasts that were frozen by Ran Bing, stunned by Mark, and marked by Fei Xue!

With perfect coordination, swarms of Devouring Beasts fell like wheat being harvested.

Faced with five elite snake-dogs suddenly leaping out from the ruins on the side, Mo Cheng's dual pistols instantly transformed.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two deafening explosions rang out as the massive shockwaves from the shotgun shells blasted the two snake-dogs that were charging at the front of the pack into the air, while the three behind them were also sent flying backward, their bone armor shattered.

Honeycomb Barrage - Electromagnetic Pulse!

"Try this!"

The honeycomb cannon on his shoulder flashed repeatedly as several electromagnetic pulse projectiles were launched toward the rear of the beast horde. With a few hissing sounds, an invisible electromagnetic storm spread out.

The baby beasts on the backs of several baby beasts instantly stiffened and fell off, while the barbed tongues of several salamanders twitched and retracted, temporarily paralyzed.

Although they were not killed outright, they greatly disrupted their offensive.

A cunning spiky eel suddenly emerged from underground to launch a sneak attack. Mo Cheng's wrist blade instantly shot out, and his body spun rapidly.

Tear-away whirlwind!

The high-frequency particle short blades drew perfect circles, shredding the spiky eel along with its ejected bone spikes.

"Ammunition consumption 65%, Hive missiles 50% remaining, Light Blade Armor 40% remaining."

Flying Snow (White Night Chaser) is a ghost sniper on the battlefield.
