Fantasy Game: Infinite City

The ruins of the spacecraft after the explosion were filled with smoke and dust, and it was a mess.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of gunfire came one after another, and the flames from live ammunition weapons intertwined like raindrops.

"Buzz~" The energy weapon made a low roar and flashed with light.

"Hiss!!" The sound of electric current could be heard from time to time, indicating the intensity of the battle.

The remaining dozens of power armor soldiers fought a desperate battle with the soldiers who were holding on to the ruins of the explosion. They had only one goal - the huge portal at the bottom of the ruins.

At this moment, the portal was shining with blue light, and it was obviously slowly charging, emitting an increasingly dazzling light. Although it seemed that it would take some time to fully activate, no one dared to take it lightly. Because once the portal was successfully charged, a powerful army might pass through it and bring destruction to these soldiers in power armor.

"We must break through their defenses! We must destroy that portal! Lucas! Have our reinforcements arrived?!" a commander shouted anxiously.

"Boom boom boom!" The explosions continued and the battle became more intense.

"Bang!" A plasma shell landed not far away, raising a cloud of dust.

"It's at least ten more minutes! The shelling will not arrive until later, we have to hold on!" Lucas replied.

"Damn it! Ten minutes is not enough. This portal will be opened within ten minutes. Everyone! Push the front line! Destroy that portal at all costs!" the commander roared.

However, the enemies on the opposite side were no pushovers. Although they were technologically backward, their various strange abilities greatly enhanced their strength, making the defense line indestructible. No matter how hard those soldiers in power armor tried, they could not push the front line any further.

"Boss, an armed gunship has entered the system and is expected to be here in about ten minutes."

"Want to use orbital bombardment? How long will it take for the portal to charge?"

"About six or seven minutes. There seems to be a force field on this planet that interferes with the energy, otherwise the speed would be even faster."

"That is, their support will only appear after the portal is fully charged. Send the news back to headquarters so that everyone can be prepared."

"clear."

In the fierce battle, both sides were concentrating on confronting each other, and were completely unaware of the strangeness around them. Suddenly, a strange shadow quietly enveloped them. It was a huge swarm of alien insects like a tide.

These alien insect swarms lurk quietly, their bodies glowing with mysterious light, blending in with the surrounding environment, making them difficult to detect.

The swarm of insects was like a silent torrent, gradually approaching the two sides of the battle. Their figures were looming, as if they were ghosts from another world. Each insect was closely arranged together, forming a huge and tight encirclement, tightly trapping both sides.

The soldiers on both sides focused their attention on each other, and the various weapons in their hands poured out firepower, and from time to time they roared in battle, completely unaware that danger had quietly approached. The alien swarm waited patiently, their existence seemed like a silent nightmare, and only when they launched an attack would people realize their terrifyingness.

"Boss, something is wrong. We have detected abnormal signals. They are extremely unstable."

"What's going on? Enemy reinforcements?"

"Those things seem to have some kind of interference effect on our detection methods. We can't figure out what it is, but judging from the occasional detection signals, there are too many of them."

"Oh no! There's a swarm of insects on this planet! Inform headquarters, we may be surrounded by a swarm of insects! Shrink the formation and retreat to the vicinity of the portal!"

"boom!"

An energy ball hit the side of their position, and the soldiers defending near the portal began to shrink inwards. This gave the opponent who was in a stalemate with them an illusion that the enemy finally couldn't withstand their offensive and chose to retreat.

"Advance steadily! The enemy won't be able to hold out for much longer!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The weapons in their hands continued to fire, and the soldiers in power armor continued to advance steadily. Their concentration on the battle in front of them made them unaware that the alien swarm behind them, like a silent tide, was rapidly shrinking the encirclement.

The soldiers in power armor advanced all the way into the deep pit of the ruins. With the help of the height difference at the edge of the pit, they are using the geographical advantage to continue attacking the enemies near the portal.

"Om~~"

However, just when their attacks were about to hit the enemies near the portal, the hail of bullets hit a layer of transparent film. Both the live ammunition weapons and the energy beams with blazing tail flames seemed to have their speed and impact weakened by dozens of times and were completely swallowed up by the transparent film.

"Debilitating force field! They actually have such a thing!"

Long-range attacks have temporarily lost their effectiveness, but this does not mean that the power armor soldiers have no other options.

The power armor soldiers put away their guns, took out their melee weapons, and rushed to the front of the weakening force field.

"Everyone, get ready! Once we enter the force field, we must eliminate all enemies in front of us! Charge!"

These soldiers in power armor seemed to know how to deal with the debilitating force field. Contrary to the orders they received, they slowed down their pace and slowly walked into the debilitating force field. The special layer covering the power armor weakened the impact of the debilitating force field to a certain extent, allowing them to pass through it smoothly.

"boom!"

However, they have to fight not only a debilitating force field, but also the enemies inside that block the portal.

A magma ball hit a power armor soldier who had not yet completely passed through the weakening force field. The magma ball exploded on his power armor, and the boiling magma gradually melted his power armor. As the power armor was destroyed, the remaining coating was no longer sufficient for him to resist the power of the weakening force field. His body speed was slowed down dozens of times, and he could do nothing but watch himself being burned to ashes by the exploding magma.

Some power armor soldiers who had passed through the weakening force field first had already engaged in close combat with the enemy. They soon realized a mistake, which was that they subconsciously treated these enemies with all kinds of strange abilities as fragile ranged units.

"Tear!"

"Crack!"

A soldier in power armor was smashing a power hammer at the enemy, and just when he thought he could easily destroy the enemy in front of him, the enemy's body suddenly grew bigger, bursting through his clothes, and caught the jet-powered power hammer with one hand, squeezing the hammer head into a dent.

Before the power armor soldier could recover from his surprise, he found that a large piece of the power armor on his chest had been torn off. Then, an arm pierced through his chest, pulled out his heart, and crushed it into a bloody mist before his eyes.

The power armor soldier fell to the ground, dead.

"Qiang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang!"

Seeing their companions lose their lives due to carelessness, the power armor soldiers also took it seriously. They no longer attacked blindly, but looked for the enemy's mistakes and waited for opportunities to strike.

The same goes for the other side. Although they have various powerful abilities, not all of them are suitable for close combat. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

"Buzzzzzzzz~"

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a stalemate, a strange sound suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

The tidal swarms of alien insects have completely filled up the deep pit of the ruins, but this is not all of them. More swarms can be seen heading here. Except for the area covered by the weakening force field, the outside has been completely occupied by the alien insects.

And those strange sounds are caused by some substance in the Zerg that can interfere with the force field signals when they try to pass through the weakening force field.

"Damn it! The portal hasn't been fully charged yet!"

"One minute!"

"Everyone hold on! Retreat in one minute! Hand them over to the troops behind!"

"Push towards the charging device with all your strength! Don't let these guys get away!"

The swarm of insects outside the weakening force field made the battle more intense. The two sides had completely different attitudes. The power armor soldiers gave up defense and charged towards the charging device with all their strength. The soldiers guarding the portal reduced their attacks and all gathered in front of the charging device, sticking to the goal behind them.

The front row of insects rushed towards the debilitating force field without hesitation. When their heads just passed through the force field, disgusting strong acid and deadly poisonous gas gushed out from their mouthparts. The acid and poisonous gas formed a dense poisonous cloud that spread around. This poisonous cloud was highly corrosive and could even melt metal. At the same time, the ground sprayed by the strong acid was billowing with thick smoke, emitting a pungent smell, and turning a large amount of oxygen into highly toxic gas. The poisonous gas spread rapidly, showing strange colors, as if it was a curse from hell.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. The two fighting parties around the charging device launched increasingly fierce attacks on each other. Their living space was being rapidly compressed. Once exposed to strong acid or poison gas, the consequences would be disastrous.

In this area ravaged by the Zerg, the debilitating force field was struggling to maintain itself. Its once powerful energy shield was now gradually becoming dim under the endless coverage of the Zerg.

Tiny cracks began to appear on the surface of the force field, like flaws on porcelain, starting as tiny dots and then gradually spreading. Sparks of energy flashed from time to time in these cracks, as if they were proof of the force field's desperate struggle, but this was only its dying struggle.

As the energy supply gradually decreased, the integrity of the force field was seriously threatened. It was no longer a solid barrier, but more like a fragile glass that could break at any time. The force field that should have been reassuring now exuded an unsettling atmosphere.

Inside the force field, various devices and machines can be seen flashing warning lights due to insufficient energy, and warning sounds are heard one after another, reminding both sides of the danger approaching. They know that once the weakening force field collapses, they will be directly exposed to the threat of the swarm.

"Ten seconds!"

"Damn it, hold on! Get ready to activate the teleportation coordinates!"

"Click!"

The weakening force field began to break, and more insect swarms drilled in through the cracks. Their bodies were much stronger, and they quickly recovered from the effects of the weakening force field. Soon, these deadly killing machines locked their sights on the nearest enemy and launched an attack without hesitation.

A soldier wearing power armor was confidently preparing to deal with the Zerg attack. However, when the alien Zerg approached, he realized how small and powerless he was. The strong acid corroded the armor, and the poison gas invaded his respiratory tract, making it difficult for him to breathe and blurring his vision.

The soldier tried to fight back with his weapons, but the swarm was so numerous that they easily broke through his defenses. He was surrounded by the swarm and could not escape. He could only watch himself being eaten clean. The sharp teeth and claws of the alien swarm ruthlessly tore at the power armor. The soldier's final counterattack and roar were quickly drowned out by the swarm of different colors. His body disappeared in the swarm, leaving only blood all over the ground and fragments of the power armor corroded into scrap metal by strong acid and poison gas.

"roar!!!!!!!!"

The swarm of insects, having tasted the fresh blood, roared cruelly and excitedly, but they did not rush to kill the rest. Instead, they helped their companions outside the force field to destroy the force field.
