Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

Inform Company Commander Bryan that the freight elevator is operational!

At that, the communicator's face lit up with joy.

He hastened to inform Company Commander Brian, who was fighting outside, of the good news.

Lord Jack, where are you going?

Seeing Jack heading outside, the soldiers rushed to follow.

Lord Jack, you're the only one who can control the freight elevator. You're needed here.

The freight elevator consoles are rotting like that.

I'm afraid Lord Jack is the only one who can operate a freight elevator at this time.

Compared to the quietness of the arrival, there was already a hustle and bustle in the freight lanes.

A large number of soldiers poured into the orbital elevator from the outside, following the freight tunnel all the way in.

The dense footsteps suddenly became the biggest noise in the freight aisle.

No, and the roar of the Riemann Rustank engine.

The cargo aisle is large enough to accommodate three Riemann Rustanks side by side.

The Riemann Rustank is an important asset for the Planetary Defense Force and should not be discarded as a last resort.

The battle outside had spilled over as Jack bucked the crowd to the north gate.

Stop them. Fire. Attack freely!

In the passageway inside the north gate, two Riemann Rustanks parked side by side formed a line of steel defense.

The tank's main gun, a heavy lumbering gun, angled its fire outward.

In the cramped space, the Purebloods were torn apart by the intense fire just as they rushed through the gate.

Soldiers on both sides of Riemann Rustank fired wildly.

Red laser beams flashed inside and outside the gate.

Just then, outside, multiple Riemann Rustanks slowly drove into Brian's line of sight.

It made Brian blush slightly.

He quickly waved his hand and said, Quick, close the gate!

At that, the soldier in front of the control switch hastily pulled down the electric switch.

Click ...

With the clicking sound of the wheel and axle, the big, heavy iron door slowly closed from both sides.

Outside, in the plaza surrounding the rail elevator base area.

A large number of mutants, purebloods, rushed into the plaza from all street corners.

They were like a tidal wave, sweeping blackly toward the orbital elevator.

The number is in the tens of thousands.

And in the streets deep in the Nest Capital, there was still a dense concentration of gene stealers converging on the orbital elevator.

Most of them are first-generation infected.

The dominant gene stealers are rapidly infecting the survivors.

The so-called first-generation infected are humans who have been neurologically controlled by gene stealers.

Gene stealers capture humans and use spawning tubes on their tongues for the kiss of death.

Injecting eggs containing biomass and genetic information into humans.

After a period of development, the host is under neural control.

If there is a spouse, the spouse is also controlled by its cross-infection.

The offspring born to the first generation of infected people is the subsecond generation.

The first generation of infected were humans, humans controlled by gene stealers, with the usual human appearance.

The outward appearance of the second generation of children will then have the distinctive characteristics of the gene stealer originator.

By reproducing generation after generation, hybrids become more and more like humans.

When the fifth generation is reached, the ancestor returns, and this is how the purebloods are born.

It possesses the exact same function as the Gene Stealer Patriarch.

It's just not as huge and strong as the Gene Stealer Patriarch in terms of physique.

Just as the big iron door had only closed less than a third of the way down the space, the motor suddenly stopped running.

The lights in the freight aisle went out at the same time, and darkness enveloped everyone.

What's going on?

The sudden change of heart caused Blair to let out a yell.

Company Commander Bryan, the power's out for reasons unknown!

Brian's face was clouded with a very hard look.

Shit, is it those guys up there?

It must be those guys up there, the ones who control Star Harbor.

Only Starport's main control center can disconnect the power gates and stop the transmission of power to the orbital elevators.

Did mutants take over Starport?

If it was a human, there was no reason why it would interfere with them at this time.

Company commander, they're charging in. ...

As soon as the gate stopped, the purebloods swarmed in.

The soldiers, who had been thrown into a commotion by the blackout, rushed to fire again.

Red laser beams suddenly danced about in the dimly lit freight aisle.

The intense rain of bullets splattered the purebloods rushing through the gates with paths of blood.

It's not good; back off!

Outside, a Rebel Riemann Rustank found an angle to aim at the dimly lit interior of the freight tunnel.

Brian stood at the hatch of the gunship, an angle where his view would not be blocked by the pureblood figures outside.

He saw a Rebel Riemann Rustank aimed at the freight lane.

Bang ...

The rebel Riemann Rustank opened fire.

The muzzle of the cannon spewed out a dazzling cloud of fire.

The sight made Brian's scalp tingle.

The strong sense of crisis in his heart caused Brian to subconsciously issue a warning.

But it was too late; a stream of fiery red light whistled past the heads of the purebloods in the doorway.

Straight at Riemann Rustank on the dim channel front.

It looked like Riemann Rustank, where Brian was, was about to be hit.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Brian.

It was Jack, leaping up from the crowd in the rear.

A blue glow surged through his pupils, and the space in front of the formation line distorted.

Less than three meters away from Riemann Rustank, the fiery red shell was fixed in the air.

It was as if the shell had hit a transparent wall.

Some transparent cracks appeared in the space it was in.

Jack's eyes glazed over, and the shell went flying backward.

Boom ...

The shell landed in the doorway with a violent explosion.

A mushroom cloud of flame rose up, flickering firelight illuminating the dimly lit freight tunnel.

A large number of Purebloods inside and outside the gate were instantly killed or wounded.

This is not the end.

Jack, standing by the turret, took a deep breath and then let it out.

A more dazzling fire burst forth.

A huge fire dragon roared out, sweeping through the cargo passage and rushing out the door.

From the outside, looking toward the north gate, rolling flames swept out of the gate.

The purebloods, mutants outside the door, were instantly engulfed in flames and swept away.

The searing heat in the freight corridor caused the Planetary Defense Force soldiers to back away.

The only thing on their faces as they looked at the figure standing next to the tank's turret was fear.

Is this what makes Alpha so powerful?

It's unbelievable.

When the flames dissipated and were no longer swept out.

Jack held out his hands in a closed, clapping motion.

All that was heard was a slap.

What followed was a collision on the gate closing.

The unclosed door seemed to be forcibly pulled together by an invisible force.

There was a heavy thud.

As the doors closed, the freight tunnel was plunged into complete darkness.

Company Commander Bryan retreats immediately to the freight elevator. The other three doors should be unclosed, leaving us little time.

In the darkness, Jack's voice rang out.
