Chapter 1041 – Crisis Under the Black Tide

As Ling Mo shouted, the door was already blocked. Except for Skinny Monkey, who was still unconscious, and Gu Shuangshuang with her mental ability, who remained behind the door, everyone else silently and swiftly moved to the four corners of the Rooftop as instructed, aiming their guns downward in unison.

The Hellforged Monsters… started moving.

From the first one that began climbing, the entire group of Hellforged Monsters burst forth with terrifying speed… They climbed like humanoid centipedes, using both hands and feet, swiftly scaling the exterior walls toward the rooftop.

From the perspective of Ling Mo and his group, it looked like a wave of black tide surging upwards…

Mu Chen couldn’t help but swallow, feeling sweat in his palms. Though he had no time to look back at the others, he was sure that everyone was just as tense. Even Ye Lian and the others had become visibly more cautious.

Five minutes… no, now three minutes and fifty seconds left. To hold out that long meant that not a single second could go wrong. If a mistake occurred at any of the four corners, the consequences would be unthinkable.

While guarding Skinny Monkey, Gu Shuangshuang was also anxiously preparing. Just hearing the dense rustling sound in the silence was enough to know that these monsters were not going to be easily defeated…

“Get ready…” Ling Mo stood silently at the edge, observing… When the fastest climbing monster came within twenty meters of them, Ling Mo finally raised his hand and whispered, “Fire!”

As he spoke, the monster’s forehead suddenly burst open in a spray of blood, its body convulsively shaking as it tumbled down.

Boom!

In an instant, the sound of the corpse hitting the ground rang out. Along with the splatter of blood and flesh, Ye Kai burst out angrily, “Ah! Brothers, kill these Rats! Damn it, let them chase!”

The next second, a nearly silent yet intensely fierce battle unfolded around the rooftop…

Amidst the sound of triggers being pulled, Hellforged Monsters continuously fell from the walls, smashing into pulp below. Yet, more Hellforged Monsters rapidly approached the rooftop amidst their kin being shot and falling…

“Roar!”

As Zhang Xincheng was reloading, a Hellforged Monster’s hand suddenly reached up from below. It howled, directly grabbing at Zhang Xincheng’s arm. At that moment, a flash of cold light swept across from the side, accurately severing the hand. As blood splattered, the corpse was flung out, scattering a large cluster of blood in mid-air.

“Thanks.” Zhang Xincheng swiftly replaced the magazine, seemingly oblivious to the severed hand at his feet. As he spoke rapidly, he leaned out again, aiming and pulling the trigger…

This scene played out repeatedly at each corner. Ye Lian and her companions, with their keen observation and formidable agility, roamed around, ensuring that even if a Monster managed to break through, it wouldn’t easily breach their defenses.

At this moment, any hesitation or entanglement could ignite a fatal spark. Yet, amidst this intense battle, the Miracle Squad unknowingly developed an extraordinary sense of teamwork and coordination…

“Hahaha! Come on! All of you, come on! Watch me take you down! Or maybe you can try taking me down!” Yuwen Xuan’s maniacal laughter rang out. He stood on a wooden crate, his body almost entirely leaning over the railing. Even without the Hellforged Monsters, his posture alone was perilous…

On the other side, Ling Mo stood silently behind the railing, coldly observing. He had already taken down over thirty Monsters with his Tentacles. Each Hellforged Monster that ventured within twenty meters of him seemed to freeze, falling helplessly to the ground. This efficient and calm combat style seemed to instill a certain fear in the Monsters, but more importantly, it helped calm the panic among the group.

To everyone, Yuwen Xuan was undoubtedly a madman, but Ling Mo was even more terrifying than a madman… With the two of them standing there, the pressure felt more intense than facing the Hellforged Monsters themselves!

“Two minutes left!” Mu Chen held his gun, pulling the trigger once more, mentally counting down…

Soon, the ground was littered with corpses, blood staining the building’s exterior in a large swath. If someone were to look from afar, they’d be shocked by the sight… The high-rise seemed to be bleeding…

“Grr…” A Zombie halted its wandering steps, slowly turning its head towards the high-rise… Across the street, it saw the blood and seemed to smell its heavy scent…

Rat-a-tat-tat…

Sweat blurred everyone’s vision, gun barrels grew hot, and the act of pulling the trigger became sluggish. Even their Arms felt numb from the recoil, yet the Hellforged Monsters continued their relentless climb…

“I feel like their numbers haven’t decreased at all…” Ye Kai suddenly chuckled, commenting.

Zhang Xincheng rarely chimed in, “Yeah… Maybe we haven’t killed enough.”

“Isn’t this great? Where else can you find such a lineup waiting for you to take them down?” Ye Kai remarked.

“Grab a gun, head to any Rooftop, and fire away…” Mu Chen quipped.

“Hey, just because you’re the instructor doesn’t mean… Wait!” Ye Kai suddenly raised his voice but quickly fell silent. A second later, he shouted, “Whoa! What is that?!”

Rustle!

As soon as he spoke, a clear sound suddenly surged upwards… Then, everyone heard a loud “thud”…

A large pane of glass shattered, and a half-meter shard appeared in front of Ling Mo…

Ling Mo’s pupils contracted, but before the glass could touch him, an invisible force halted it mid-air. However, a louder thud followed, accompanied by countless tiny fragments…

Amidst the reflection of the shattered glass, a skeletal hand suddenly gripped the railing…

“Roar!” A deep, chilling growl accompanied the hand’s appearance, echoing in everyone’s ears…
