Chapter 946: Rush 2

The emotional reactions that Garen was initially worried about were not present amongst any of the people here. In the radiation belt, those who had died were fully dead. No one felt silly nostalgia towards the corpses. Even if they were somewhat emotional, everyone could understand these current sentiments as many of them had done similar things to survive in the past.

The harshness of the radiation belt had entered the depths of everyone’s hearts long ago.

Woo…

The low howls of the Predators echoed from afar. It was obvious that the Predator Army was about to arrive soon. The sky was about to turn bright as well.

“It is much faster than we had expected…” Malone’s face was solemn.

“Where’s the water purifying filter? Move it up!” yelled Garen loudly. No one was defending the enclosure now. When the Big Wild Wolf was present, everyone was helping out here instead.

A few people worked together to move the water purifier up the Flying Ship. Then, they brought the remaining bits of radioactive meat jerky and other food up there as well.

Garen quickly returned to the basement. There, the Seventh Big Wild Wolf already came out and was crouching on the basement ground while resting. When it saw Garen enter, the Big Wild Wolf whined and fawned over him immediately.

After quickly altering his instructions, Garen used the Energy Machinist Imprint to release orders towards the Biochemical Pool.

Suddenly, across the floor of the entire basement, the Biochemical Pool slowly shrunk. Most of the biochemical fluid that was running out ended up evaporating quickly. The entire biochemical pool drew itself inwards rapidly and formed a gigantic black flesh ball. As time passed, the flesh ball shrunk within the pit on the ground. From its original diameter of over one meter, it slowly shrank to about the size of a soccer ball.

Garen walked over and grabbed it in one go, lifting it.

One of the benefits of using Stoneheart Flesh to build a Biochemical Pool was being able to take it along. Of course, this was only the lowest level of biochemical pools. There were more advanced ones that were items that could enter physical spaces completely to circulate on their own and form perfect nurturing and production environments. They were much more efficient than Stoneheart Flesh Biochemical Pools and were able to conserve materials better.

As he carried the Biochemical Pool and the materials that East Perrin had wrapped properly while the Big Wild Wolf walked beside his feet, Garen walked out of the basement quickly. He waved a few times at the crowds that had already packed while everyone walked up into the Flying Ship one after another.

Initially, the entire Flying Ship was shaped like a shuttle and completely black. However, since it was scraped out of the rubbish dump, it looked like something that had been patched together raggedly from the outside. It did not have half of the smooth aesthetic or sense of beauty that was expected of a Flying Ship.

A row of people walked up into the Flying Ship in succession.

No one knew whether they would be able to break out of the enclosure successfully. Garen stood at the head of the Flying Ship and could see from the sensors that their surroundings were filled with large clusters of red dots. This Flying Ship could only fly at low altitudes and nothing higher than five meters. It was a normal anti-gravity floating Flying Ship that could not travel at great speed because it was not a high ranking commodity in the region.

He assumed that it was highly likely that they would have to pay a severe price along with this journey…

Standing at the front of the Flying Ship, Garen gazed into the faraway distance.

On the further end of the dark grey grassy plains, large clusters of black Predators were charging forward towards them now. In a short while, they would flood Leo City fully like black tidewater.

He gazed away. The first break of dawn was gradually appearing in the sky now. East Perrin and Malone were seated on both sides of Garen respectively. They were responsible for operating a series of control conditions in the Flying Ship. All of the other seven people had already boarded the ship.

“What about the Big Wild Wolves?” East Perrin worriedly looked out of the Flying Ship’s window at the Big Wild Wolves that were still standing fast at the enclosure.

“I’ll let them return,” nodded Garen to indicate that he understood. He used his Willpower and Energy Machinist Imprint to send a signal to the seven Big Wild Wolves immediately, allowing them to return to the Flying Ship quickly.

He did not let them board the Ship but got them to follow it from below instead.

“The Flying Ship is too small and has only enough space to accommodate us. Allowing the Big Wild Wolves to board the Ship would only create heavier burdens for us. Therefore, I got them to help us break through the enclosure from below instead so that they could assist our escape,” answered Garen calmly under East Perrin’s doubtful gaze.

“How unfortunate…” said Malone quietly.

It was truly unfortunate. Garen had used two hours to individually nurture every single one of these Big Wild Wolves. However, as they followed the Flying Ship to break out of the enclosure, an unknown number of them had already died on the ground. It was uncertain whether the entire herd would be obliterated completely.

“Has the escape direction been determined?” instructed Garen.

Only then did East Perrin start to set the direction frantically. This was her first time operating a Flying Ship and it was clear that she had not gotten the hang of it yet.

She was only able to reply to him after a short while.

“Determined completely.”

“How many Predators are there in front?”

“About two thousand. We might stand a chance if we charge forward at the fastest speed!” Malone replied him immediately.

“Alright,” Garen nodded. “Once you’re unable to charge forward anymore, just leave the Flying Ship and walk up the mountain!”

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

Although it was easy to say, all three of them actually knew that once they were unable to charge forward, they would be waiting to die at the moment when the Flying Ship fell.

“Let’s go then,” Garen issued his final command.

Finally, the small-scale Flying Ship began to gradually lift itself into the sky lopsidedly. Next, it turned its body and flew in the direction of a large door that was open on the right side of the city.

The seven Big Wild Wolves leaped down towards the enclosure and followed the Flying Ship closely from below. They possessed great speed that made it seem as if they were faster than the Flying Ship and were able to follow the crowd that was ten meters above their heads with ease.

Whoosh!!

The black Flying Ship resembled a black flying fish. It fled the cylindrical Leo City speedily and flew quickly in the direction towards the right. Seven dots below it followed closely behind.

Large dark clusters of Predators stood in the direction in front of them.

Pfoo pfoo pfoo…

The Flying Ship that was moving slowly at first then charged towards the Predator Waves. The screw rudders that were installed on its side, back and front began rotating quickly. These screw rudders had been polished before. Other than the one at the back, none of them had radian angles and would not form thrusts that would affect the speed and forward direction of the Flying Ship.

The rotating screws resembled three grey circular faint shadows that were constantly releasing humming noises that indicated high speeds.

The Flying Ship was like a little fish that had plunged into black water. In the blink of an eye, it had burrowed into the Predator Waves immediately.

The seven Big Wild Wolves below leaped into the Predator Waves as well and began to slaughter them maniacally.

The moment they met with the seven or eight Predators that pounced on them, the Predators were brutally cut into numerous pieces immediately by the gigantic screw rudders. Some of the remaining Predators were pushed a few steps backward when they were hit by the corpses that were flung out.

However, the engines of the screw rudders were slightly burdened by the additional weight.

The front of the sharp Flying Ship resembled an awl. A brief popping noise could be heard when it pierced through the middle of the Predator clusters firmly. In the blink of an eye, it had struck and injured five or six Predators.

There were one or two Predators that were sent flying. However, it was inevitable that the speed of the Flying Ship had slowed down immensely as if it had sunken into mud.

The remaining Predators pounced around in all directions, resembling the motions of wrapping a dumpling when they pressed against the ship at once. Despite their comrades getting chopped into pieces by the screw rudders, they were not the slightest bit afraid.

“Speed up!!” Garen yelled loudly inside the cockpit of the Flying Ship. With panicked looks on their faces, Malone and East Perrin held the control handles and tried their best to make the Flying Ship charge forward.

“The screw rudders are going to stop turning soon!” echoed Sinno’s shouts from the pager.

“Keep holding on! Start using the guns to shoot them off the areas that they’re pouncing on!” commanded Garen loudly.

The sound of gunshots followed quickly after. The seven Big Wild Wolves squeezed against the Flying Ship closely and formed a little circle. They bit and killed the Predators that were trying to leap towards the Flying Ship. This allowed the pressure against the Flying Ship’s screw rudders to decrease greatly. They started turning quickly again soon.

Bullet cartridges from the heavy machine gun that was installed inside the Flying Ship swept through continuously and sent the approaching Predators flying. Currently, the Flying Ship had traveled more than a hundred meters through the Predator Waves. The Flying Ship was also barely able to preserve itself within its little safety circle without getting damaged. Although the wounds on the bodies of the Big Wild Wolves kept increasing, everything was still worthwhile as long as they were able to charge through the Predator Waves.

Roar!!

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed directly in front of them.

The vibration of the sound waves caused the ground to tremble violently.

“It’s a Level Two Predator!!” The expression on Malone’s face changed immediately while he was still piloting the Flying Ship.

“I’m coming!”

Garen used his Willpower to control the Big Wild Wolves below him and separated three from the pack quickly. He made them pounce in the direction of the roar immediately.

Bang!!

Two Big Wild Wolves collided with a grey shadow in mid-air. Both of the Big Wild Wolves whined and rushed backward while fresh blood flowed from their heads after getting hit. The remaining Big Wild Wolf opened its mouth and bared his fangs in an attempt to bite the back of the grey shadow’s neck. However, it was sent flying after getting slapped by the other party. It seemed as though its waist was now broken fractured from the assault.

The grey shadow had to pay a price too as its momentum and inertia decreased at once. However, when it fell on the heads of two Predators on the ground, it used the soles of its feet to squeeze and explode the brains of the Predators, causing them to roar madly.

The shadow was actually a muscular man in a grey vest. He was blind in one eye but his mouth was filled with sharp teeth. Meanwhile, a strange greenish gray color had appeared throughout the skin of his body that seemed to be lacking elasticity.

Two vicious-looking deep bloody wounds could be seen on his chest and back clearly. Blood flowed out of the open gash continuously but as time passed, it could be seen with the naked eye that the wound was shrinking slowly.

“How strong!” Garen’s pupils widened. The moment he saw this Level Two Predator, he could already feel that this could not be compared to the average Level Ones.

“Another four!” In one breath, he made all of the Big Wild Wolves pounce forward. These Big Wild Wolves that were strengthened three times in Level One were much stronger than regular cannon fodder. Their sharp claws and fangs were their most terrifying weapons.

However, this Level Two Predator possessed quick movements and was not slower than the Big Wild Wolves. Coupled with his violent strength, there would be an additional layer of invisible strength whenever he landed a punch on one of the Big Wild Wolves which made it difficult for them to get up even after a long time. Next, the surrounding Predators would rush forward and crowd around it before tearing it to pieces and biting it to death immediately. That was the power of the Energy Field that Level Two Predators specially possessed which was similar to the invisible Mind Force.

If they were not so many lower level Predators here, perhaps the Big Wild Wolves would not lose their fight against the Level Two Predator. However, under circumstances like these, as long as one of the Big Wild Wolf’s movements were delayed, the surrounding Predators would seize the chance to pounce forward.

The four Big Wild Wolves and the previous three others were instantly submerged by the Predator Waves. Their final contribution was biting off an arm and leg of the Level Two Predator and making its speed decrease greatly. It was instantly left behind as it angrily watched the Flying Ship escape nearby.

Once the threat of the Level Two Predator had been diminished, the surrounding Predators gradually lessened as well. Some of them were not fast enough to follow the Flying Ship and were gradually left behind. The critical attacks of the screw rudders and machine gun immediately got rid of the Predators that were trying to pursue them. The occasional Predators that managed to hang on the Ship and sneak past the entrance of the cabin were immediately attacked and killed from all sides by Sinno and the others there.

Suddenly, the Flying Ship shook violently while the dark Predator Waves in front disappeared completely.

When the last few Predators were flung away by the screw rudders, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief… They made it through! They had finally made it through!!

At this moment, a loud whistle echoed from the back of the Flying Ship.

It was a gigantic metal fragment that had been violently thrown by someone. Its sharp edges spun rapidly and formed a terrifyingly huge razor that was about to crash against the Flying Ship.

Roar!!!

In the faraway distance behind them, a Predator whose skin was completely bright red raised its head towards the sky and roared furiously before charging towards the Flying Ship speedily.
