Chapter 158: ARMY-3 Xenomorph

The black bee xenomorphs in the sky moved with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed a distance of one kilometer.

Ye Hai's mind stirred.

All the vampires surged into the sky, rushing toward the aerial formation of xenomorphs.

Ye Hai observed the situation in the skies with a grim expression. Although the number of vampires was three times that of the black bee xenomorphs, the gap in individual strength was far too vast. These giant black bees were comparable in size to ordinary Art-3 creatures in the irradiated wasteland. According to Art-3 standards, these should be sixth-stage mutants. However, unlike Art-3s, which evolved toward psionic directions, these xenomorphs leaned more heavily toward the reinforcement of their physical bodies. Those pitch-black bee xenomorphs gleamed with a metallic luster. Without a careful look, one might mistake them for blackened iron sculptures. At a single glance, one could perceive their sheer hardness and solidity.

These black bee xenomorphs possessed a physical strength of at least the collective seventh stage. Coupled with their sheer numbers, an eighth-stage mutant would likely only have the option of fleeing upon seeing this swarming multitude. If any strange abilities were to manifest during the incubation process of the xenomorphs, their combat effectiveness would be elevated even further.

All in all, Ye Hai did not pin his hopes on these vampires annihilating the black bee xenomorphs. As long as they could buy time until the corpse-catcher reinforcements arrived, they would have fulfilled their mission.

This single wave of summons—an entire army of eight thousand—had once again emptied the psionic reserves of the Silent Hill module. If he failed to protect this backdoor-opening Holy Son, Ye Hai would suffer a colossal loss!

Amidst his swirling thoughts, the two aerial forces collided with a thunderous impact. Every strike of the black bee xenomorphs was accompanied by the crisp cracking sound of air being whipped violently, bearing witness to their immense strength and explosive power.

The vampires, however, were the complete opposite extreme. Their figures were so fast they appeared blurred. When faced with the dense volley of tail stingers fired by the black bee xenomorphs, they could transform into bats and nimbly evade them.

For a time, the black bee xenomorphs launched fierce attacks while the vampires dodged. Although the skies were intensely chaotic, neither side suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a stalemate.

Seeing this scene, Ye Hai breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the vampires failed to hold down these black bee xenomorphs and allowed those creatures to fly above the defensive line and bombard them with their tail stingers, the Dusa Resistance would have no means of fighting back whatsoever. If such a situation were to occur, Ye Hai would have no choice but to abandon the others and run for his life himself.

Turning his head, a large number of worker bee xenomorphs had already rushed halfway up the mountainside. Ye Hai knew very well that relying on the Dusa Resistance personnel for close combat was utterly impossible. He could only deploy the dismemberment goblins to the front lines, while the firearms in the hands of the resistance fighters could inflict long-range damage on the xenomorphs.

Therefore, with a grand wave of Ye Hai's hand, five thousand dismemberment goblins let out bursts of bizarre cackles and charged fiercely down from the mountaintop, bearing a striking resemblance to sheep cascading down a slope.

Upon seeing the dismemberment goblins, those xenomorphs went completely berserk, their speed increasing by another thirty percent. It seemed that these xenomorphs still harbored vivid memories of the damage inflicted upon them by these little runts.

Unflinching and completely devoid of fear, the two gigantic waves of flesh collided violently. Compared to human armies, which might rout once the casualty rate exceeded twenty percent, these two forces faced no such problem whatsoever. This massive meat grinder would only cease its rotation once one side was utterly annihilated.

Although the xenomorphs surpassed the dismemberment goblins in individual capability, the tetanus blades in the hands of the goblins could deal fatal blows to them. Coupled with outnumbering the xenomorphs by two thousand, the ground forces were not holding back at all.

Commanding an army of such massive proportions for the very first time, Ye Hai could not help his surging emotions.

"Fire..."

"Suppresses the flanks of the xenomorphs! Do not let them scatter!"

Following Ye Hai's command, the Dusa Resistance began a frantic pouring of firepower. Those fighters, who had been hunted relentlessly by the xenomorphs for a day and a night, felt their morale instantly skyrocket upon seeing that the dismemberment goblins were actually able to hold their ground against the impact of the xenomorphs head-on.

The three hundred genetic warriors behind Ye Hai stared at the ground battlefield with expressions of utter horror. They knew better than anyone just how terrifying these xenomorphs truly were. They had possessed a relatively high tolerance for Ye Hai casually summoning an army of eight thousand. After all, entrenched within the Dusa Resistance as they were, both Holy Sons and Holy Virgins possessed powerful and miraculous abilities.

However, this summoned army of eight thousand not only included ground melee troops and an air force, but they were even able to fight evenly against the terrifying monsters that had chased them in headlong flight across the region.

Such a person was definitely not someone the Dusa Resistance could hope to contend against...

Such a formidable dragon had actually arrived in this tiny Ironwood Forest. The Dusa Resistance, which had previously only managed to eke out a meager existence under the high pressure of the Sesha Cult, would undoubtedly find their circumstances even more perilous.

Yet they were still unaware that the Sesha Cult had already become a thing of the past, and the entire Ironwood Forest was now solely under the dominion of the corpse-catchers. Once they annexed the remaining forces of the Dusa Resistance, the corpse-catchers would become the undisputed overlords of the entire Ironwood Forest.

Just as the stalemate persisted, three gigantic black moths rushed directly toward the defensive line from the rear.

Catching sight of the moths' continuously pulsing abdomens, Ye Hai roared at the top of his lungs:

"Everyone, aim at the moths in the sky!"

"We must not let them lay their eggs within the defense perimeter... Quickly!"

The resistance fighters, who had witnessed the terrifying prowess of these moth xenomorphs, did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately raised their weapons and opened fire. Once the eggs laid by these moths hatched amidst a crowd, it would spell a horrific disaster, and could even directly cause the currently seemingly solid defense line to collapse entirely from within.

Fortunately, the flight speed of these moths was not fast, and their massive, bloated bodies lacked agility in the skies. They were quickly blasted to pieces by the dense volume of firepower.

Even though these moths were completely eradicated far away from the defensive line, everyone still could not help breaking out into a burst of cheers. The shadow cast by these creatures upon the Dusa Resistance was simply too vast.

Yet the very next second, the cheering abruptly ceased. Even Ye Hai, who had witnessed all manner of mutants, could not help drawing a sharp breath of cold air.

A colossal snake...

Was leisurely slithering toward them from the distance.

Its head had already transformed into a standard xenomorph skull. Its body had grown emaciated, its long spine visible to the naked eye. Yet that distinctive sheen allowed anyone at a single glance to determine that this was a xenomorph!

"Damn it! Th-This is the giant snake from the ice sheets!"

"Weren't those giant snakes thoroughly absorbed by the system along with their flesh and blood to be converted into energy for unlocking the Silent Hill module and the Cabin in the Woods module?"

"Why is there a xenomorph variant here?!"

Watching the seemingly slow yet swiftly approaching serpentine xenomorph, Ye Hai surveyed the battlefield. Whether it was the dismemberment goblins or the vampires in the sky, it was utterly impossible right now to pull away a sufficient number of forces to deal with that terrifying giant snake whose body length exceeded two hundred meters!

In that case... he would have to handle it himself!

Instantly, the G3 form activated.

Ye Hai let out a low shout to the three hundred men:

"Everyone, transform!"

"Follow me..."

"Whether we can hold this defense line depends entirely on whether we can stop this giant worm!"
