Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 414 - 414 418 Approaching Midnight

?Chapter 414: Chapter 418: Approaching Midnight Chapter 414: Chapter 418: Approaching Midnight Gunshots roared. Steam mechanisms powered the heavy mechanical spiders as they twisted their bodies. The six-barreled machine guns rotated, spewing angry tongues of fire, sweeping through the monsters that continually emerged from the mist. Every now and then, bullets flew from the dense fog, striking the walker’s armor and the sandbags lining the barricaded streets.

Among the monsters were also “soldiers,” fully armed troops, and even walkers oozing with black sludge.

As the battle dragged on, these dangerous enemies became more numerous.

“These damn things are replicating us!”

A soldier wearing a breathing mask shouted angrily from behind the barricade, wildly pulling the trigger. His metal armor was already scarred; the power tubing at the joints was damaged and hissing steam gushed from the valves while the insignia of the elite guard of the Frost City-State could be seen on the steam backpack behind him.

“They’re replicating more than just us,” the squad commander shouted loudly, his voice hoarse and somber behind the breathing mask—as the dense fog on the streets worsened, hormonal agents in the mist were suspected, so the guarding troops entering the battle zone now all wore these daunting breathing masks. “Every living thing that appears in the mist is an enemy, all of them!”

“I just saw a crowd run past the intersection ahead!” another solider suddenly yelled. “They looked like armed civilians—or perhaps sailors from a ship!”

“I saw them too, it was blurry, but they seemed ablaze, only the fire was green!”

Upon hearing this, the squad leader looked up. However, the next moment, a strange whistling sound suddenly came from the other side of the thick fog, carrying a sharp sound of death.

A grenade pierced through the mist, crossed the gap between the barricades, and plummeted right beneath the feet of the steam walker—there was no time to react. The grenade exploded, and shrapnel burst like rain.

The thin metal chest plate couldn’t block such a close deadly impact; the squad commander and his soldiers were blown away together.

After an indefinable period, he slightly regained consciousness; from the corner of his eye, he saw the steam walker wobbling as it fell, its armor torn, all its power tubing spewing white mist while the remaining turret snarled out its last spray of bullets.
