They quickly returned to their mechas and charged toward Captain Han Le's side, hoisting the Blast Mechanical Guns and unleashing a furious barrage of firepower.
Boom, boom, boom~
The dense rain of bullets exploded upon impact, each one like a miniature grenade, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Black blood splattered across the entire area.
But even so, a massive wave of Chilami relentlessly surged forward, heedless of the cost.
Lin Chuyu and the others, seeing this scene, were also incredulous; they had never witnessed anything like it.
The students, who had thought they were about to be rescued, were all wearing looks of terror on their faces.
"We're done for, we're definitely going to die this time."
Su Ming rubbed his forehead, his head throbbing with pain. The situation was developing far beyond what he had anticipated; it really was one crisis after another.
With so many Chilami Larvae and Parasites, if they were to break through our firepower, probably not many would survive at the school today.
Just then, Su Ming suddenly noticed the ground where the wall had been breached, slightly bulging, and his heart skipped a beat.
Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth to warn anyone, the entire ground shattered with a loud boom, and a big mass of black, wriggling cellular matter erupted like an oil gusher.
These black substances writhed in midair, branching out into numerous black tendrils that then rapidly keratinized and plunged toward the ground, indiscriminately engulfing everything.
"Everyone, be careful, it's an Elite Level II Chilami."
Han Le's expression changed slightly as he quickly issued a warning.
One Iron Head Mecha after another leaped back, dodging or switching to an Alloy Blade to defend.
Crack!
Five Iron Head Mechas didn't manage to dodge and had their cockpits punctured instantly.
"Ah~"
Screams echoed.
Then those tendrils flung the penetrated mechas away!
"Ah, run for it!"
One student after another fled in panic.
Boom, boom, boom~
The five Iron Head Mechas crashed heavily onto the ground, their solid frames deformed and ruptured, internal wiring laid bare and sparking, their firearms dropped onto the ground.
At that moment, the main body of the Elite Level II Chilami began to twist together, bit by bit differentiating into a biological shell.
"Damn it!"
Han Le was instantly furious, lowering the barrel on his shoulder and pouring a violent stream of firepower into the Elite Level II Chilami.
Bang, bang~
Shell after shell hit its body.
Boom, boom, boom~
Accompanied by huge explosions, large chunks of black flesh were splattered, as if hitting a pile of mud.
The subordinates, having recovered from their shock, also raised their weapons to fire.
The body of the Elite Level II Chilami, bearing the anger of the people, began to significantly lose vitality, its shattered form slowing in regeneration.
After being hurt, the body of the Elite Level II Chilami shook violently like a heart, and an intangible sound wave spread out.
In an instant, numerous Chilami Larvae and Parasites, as if summoned, flocked toward the Elite Level II Chilami like moths to a flame, continuously merging into its body.
Teacher Tang Yan saw this scene and shouted in horror.
"No, it's merging with the split Larvae; stop them, or it will become even harder to kill!"
Han Le of course understood the stakes. They desperately focused fire on the Chilami, but sadly, their firepower wasn't quite enough.
Su Ming, witnessing this, set his eyes on the abandoned XS-01 type heavy Blast Machine Guns, steeled his heart, and charged forward.
Seeing Su Ming's actions, Lin Chuyu immediately followed suit.
Mink and Chen Tong quickly caught on and hurried to rush over.
The four of them successfully picked up the XS-01 model heavy-duty blast machine gun and ran over to Sima and the others, shouting.
"We're here to help."
Sima turned his head and glanced at Su Ming and the rest. He was startled for a moment—these Iron Heads looked different from theirs. But he quickly realized, these were training mechas.
He didn't have time to care about that now, though. The more people, the stronger they were. So he said sternly,
"Quick, focus your attack!"
"Okay, but why isn't this thing responding?" Mink asked, somewhat flustered as he lifted the gun and pulled the trigger at the Chilami, but the machine gun didn't react at all.
Chen Tong also didn't know how to use it at first.
This was when Su Ming began to carefully recall the details of the simulated training—he must have overlooked something.
Seeing this, Sima was about to spit blood; these students didn't even know where the safety device was. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind them,
Bang, bang~
Lin Chuyu had already raised the gun in her hand, unleashing a barrage of fire at the Chilami while calmly reminding,
"This gun is an improved XS-01 model heavy-duty blast machine gun. There's a concealed safety trigger at the bottom of the gun body. When the weapon is used again after being dropped, it needs to be reactivated. Just follow the details of the seventh lesson in simulated training."
Hearing this, Su Ming and the others immediately activated the safety device and started shooting fiercely at the Elite Level II Chilami.
Unfortunately, even with the help of Su Ming and his companions, the situation didn't improve.
As a horde of Chilami Larvae gathered, the Elite Level II Chilami began to inflate like a balloon. At the same time, its black cellular body rapidly writhed, beginning to differentiate into a humanoid form, and a solid biological shell formed on the outside.
"Damn it!"
Captain Han Le saw the increasingly critical situation and drew his Alloy Blade, charging directly at the Elite Level II Chilami that was taking shape.
The Elite Level II Chilami also detected the threat, extending black tentacles towards Han Le.
Han Le, maneuvering the Iron Wing, dodged swiftly. When he couldn't evade, he swung the Alloy Blade, severing a tentacle with a single stroke.
In an instant, Han Le closed in, striking the newly formed solid biological shell with his blade.
Crack!
The shell cracked, and the Alloy Blade sank halfway into its body.
But the next second, a tentacle differentiated from the body of the Elite Level II Chilami, piercing towards the left side of Han Le's mecha.
"Captain, watch out on your left!"
Sima's heart jolted, shouting as he reloaded.
Han Le immediately turned his head, only to see the glinting tentacle striking right towards him, his heart sinking.
Bang, bang~
Accompanied by the sound of precise burst fire, the tentacle was blasted to pieces in an instant.
Sima looked toward Su Ming, who had made the precise shot, and couldn't help but praise,
"Well done!"
Han Le also let out a small sigh of relief.
However, at this time, the Elite Level II Chilami differentiated a black claw from its right side, sweeping towards Captain Han Le.
Han Le's heart fluttered again, and he swiftly drew out the Alloy Blade to block!
Bang~
The whole mecha was knocked away like a ball, smashing to the ground and sliding dozens of meters away.
"Captain!"
Seeing Han Le swept away, the rest of the team furiously unloaded their firepower at the swelling Elite Level II Chilami.
At that moment, the troops responsible for the extermination outside the school also arrived. They locked onto the Elite Level II Chilami and opened fire with all their might.
A barrage of bullets, rocket grenades, and shells rained down upon the body of the Elite Level II Chilami.
Boom, boom boom~
