Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

Chu Xuan stared intently at the constantly refreshing screen on the terminal, his expression growing increasingly grave and cold: "More than fifteen aliens are rapidly closing in, including several mature ones and a few lurking, stealthy subspecies. They are using the ventilation ducts, ceiling, and side doors to encircle us from all sides, and all our escape routes have been blocked."

A single mature alien is enough to force the team into a tough battle. Now, with the group working together to encircle and attack from the shadows and blind spots, the overall danger level has increased exponentially.

Inside the ventilation ducts from all directions, dense, interwoven crawling sounds filled the air. In the dark corners of the entire spaceship, countless predators were slowly awakening, approaching step by step, drawn by the scent of slaughter.

"Crack—Boom!"

The secondary alloy gate at the rear was the first to succumb to the combined force of the aliens. The hard metal door panel was dented, twisted, and severely deformed. Several ferocious heads emerged from the cracks, and a foul, cold wind rushed in through the cracks, their icy vertical pupils locking onto the people inside.

The ventilation openings of the maintenance passages on both sides burst and shattered one after another. One after another, pitch-black alien creatures hung upside down on the bulkhead and clung to the ceiling, their claws gripping the cold steel plates, their long tails hanging down and swaying, like death hunters hanging in the darkness, layer upon layer, completely blocking all escape routes.

The encirclement was now fully in place.

"Everyone form a defensive formation! I'll hold the front line, everyone else retreat to the back. No one is allowed to break away from the group or advance without authorization!"

Zheng Zha gave a stern order, and the double-layered armor was fully tightened. The forearm armor still bore clear impact scratches, and the lingering dull pain from the long battle was faintly flaring up, but it still stood firmly at the forefront of the defense line, becoming the team's most solid steel bulwark.

Overlord strode across the breached gate, his shotgun cocked and ready. His massive body was like a mobile fortress, the muzzle of his gun firmly pressed against the horde of aliens breaking through the gate. Zero swayed and climbed onto the high instrument platform, looking down over the entire field, ready to accurately eliminate any high-level individuals that rushed in. Chu Xuan flanked the area, his pistol continuously firing to harass and suppress any scattered alien attacks, filling in any gaps in the defense.

Amidst the chaotic and ear-piercing roars, the first wave of mass assault suddenly erupted.

The damaged side door shattered with a crash, and three mature aliens simultaneously pounced into it through the opening. Their claws tore through the air, and their acidic saliva dripped onto the ground, instantly corroding large areas of charred marks.

"Go to hell!"

With a roar, the Overlord pulled the trigger, unleashing a barrage of shotgun fire at close range. The dense lead pellets slammed into the front-line aliens' faces and soft chest and abdominal armor, forcing them to stagger backward and temporarily halting their frenzied charge.

The aliens showed no fear or hesitation, relying solely on their hunting instincts to fight relentlessly. As one fell, another would immediately fill the void, the corpses piling up layer by layer, gradually blocking the narrow passage.

The overhead ventilation vents suddenly exploded and collapsed, and four aliens attacked from above, their angles cunning and vicious, aiming directly at the weak points in the back row.

A cold, bony tail thorn, carrying a foul stench and strong acid, silently pierced the tyrant's back, leaving a blind spot in its defenses.

In the nick of time, the blood-red figure instantly moved to the side.

Zheng Zha took light steps, his divine power and vampire blood energy swirling around him, and raised his hand to parry the deadly tail spike that swept towards him.

A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out as the Adamantian armor firmly withstood the bone spikes' penetration. The vibranium inner layer instantly absorbed all the impact force, and the strong acid venom was doubly isolated by the energy barrier and the armor's coating, preventing it from touching the armor in the slightest.

His eyes were cold and indifferent. He took a step forward and thrust his palm precisely into the soft flesh beneath the alien's skull, unleashing a burst of powerful force.

With its hard exoskeleton shattering, the alien that had launched the ambush upside down didn't even have time to let out a final screech before its body suddenly stiffened and it crashed heavily onto the alloy ground, dying instantly.

Zheng Zha's gaze swept over the approaching dark figures from all directions. His aura steadily increased, and the power of the first-order gene lock, the bloodline of the vampire, and the divine power of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm merged and superimposed. With the support of the double-layered battle armor, he became more and more composed in the chaotic battle and steadily controlled the entire field.

On the front lines, he fired his dual pistols incessantly, his bullets precisely targeting fixed weak points such as eye sockets and mouths; whenever an alien broke through the fire blockade and approached the front lines, he would immediately draw his Adamantian Blade and slash at close range, the blade shattering the armor and tearing flesh, his harvesting efficiency terrifyingly high.

However, the number of aliens is endless, and their corpses keep piling up, gradually compressing the team's living space.

A mutated, mature alien with an exceptionally robust build leaped over the pile of corpses, bypassing the heavy firepower blockade, and pounced straight at Zheng Zha's face, its sharp teeth bared, a stench of blood assaulting his senses.

Zheng Zha hastily dodged to the side, the edge of his shoulder armor was fiercely grazed by the claws, leaving only a shallow scratch on the surface of the adamantium alloy, without any damage;

However, the residual force of the claws' impact still caused his blood and qi to surge. The long-term high-intensity resistance and continuous energy output were rapidly depleting his physical and mental strength.

"If this continues, we'll be worn down eventually; we can't possibly kill all these monsters!"

While frantically suppressing the alien tide at the front line, Overlord roared in a deep voice, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. Ammunition reserves were rapidly decreasing, and the physical strength, injuries, and mental state of the entire team were being continuously depleted.

The battle situation worsened, with endless waves of aliens pouring in. Ordinary soldiers used their physical strength to hold the enemy back, while mature aliens roamed around launching surprise attacks, and lurking aliens hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate.

In standard combat mode, the squad's ammunition, stamina, and endurance are rapidly depleting. Continuing to passively defend will only lead to a slow and inevitable death.

Under extreme pressure from the crisis, Zheng Zha no longer holds back any of his strength.

His eyes surged with a frenzied red, his long-suppressed ferocity was completely unleashed, his first-order gene lock was fully activated, the blood-red mist around his body expanded dramatically, the power of the blood race's origin flowed wildly through his meridians, the divine treasure of the Sea of ​​Wheels within his body roared and vibrated, and boundless divine power filled his limbs and bones.

"Since we can't kill them all... then we'll crush them all."

With a low, cold shout, Zheng Zha forcefully channeled his vampire blood energy and divine power into his double-layered battle armor.

hum-

A deep, heavy metallic hum reverberated throughout the control room.

The inner vibranium soft armor trembled and shimmered, and the law that was originally in place as "force buffer" instantly reversed and switched to a force-gathering and feedback form, frantically absorbing all collisions, impacts, and brute force impacts, and converting them all into an increase in its own explosive power.

Dark red patterns quickly spread across the outer layer of Adamantium alloy heavy armor, hardening and reinforcing the entire armor and increasing its physical defense by another 50%. The cold metal shell was covered with a layer of violent and bloodthirsty crimson energy.

Armor Overload

The massive, alien claws that pounced on Zheng Zha slammed into his hardened shoulder armor. The terrifying power that was enough to tear apart the alloy of an ordinary warship could not even shake the surface of the armor, leaving only a few insignificant shallow marks.

The vibranium inner layer absorbed all the force of the attack, channeling it into Zheng Zha's limbs and transforming it into overwhelming close-combat brute force.

"Smash it!"

Zheng Zha suddenly exerted force on his shoulder, withstanding the tearing claws head-on. His right hand gripped the Adamantian Battle Blade tightly, and the divine power shattering effect combined with the corrosive power of the vampire wrapped around the blade. The cold blade light cleaved through the darkness.

The mature alien exoskeleton, as hard as refined steel, shattered and crumbled like a thin, brittle piece of porcelain.

The blade cleaved straight through the skull's muscles, spraying out a mixture of dark green acidic blood and bone fragments that landed on the blood-red patterns of the furious armor, instantly burning and evaporating without leaving a trace of white smoke.

The massive alien instantly lost its life, its enormous body crashing down, a one-hit kill.
