Chapter 2144 Participating …. As they watched the tree spirit race aiding them from behind, and the tree people breaking through the outer defenses of the campus, Yates thought the research institute was about to fall. With a hint of excitement on his face, he shouted, “Brothers! It’s time! Let’s go together!” “Brothers! Follow me!” The other teams of the Tree Whisperers Alliance also took advantage of the chaos in front of them to run out of cover and rush into the research institute campus. In fact, a normal person like Yates could not help much in the battle. Ordinary beam weapons could only last a few hits at most. It felt like he was using a Type 05 revolver to fight a tank. However, it was still possible to build up their momentum from behind. Fang Heng followed Yates and the others. As soon as everyone entered the campus, an ear-piercing alarm sounded. The research institute’s defense network was triggered! “Ka ka, ka…” The sound of machinery being activated rang in everyone’s ears. In the campus in front of them, the ground that was originally a large empty area suddenly flipped up. A dense number of light beam cannons were raised from the ground and the black muzzles were aimed at everyone. Not good! Yates’ heart skipped a beat and he shouted, “Retreat!!” Everyone who had just stepped onto the campus immediately ran for their lives behind cover! In the next moment, thousands of defense light cannon turrets in the entire area fired in unison! The dense beams formed a series of faint blue-flowing light screens in mid-air! The tree people at the forefront absorbed the first wave of firepower from the beams! The tree people possessed formidable defensive capabilities. However, they couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the densely packed beam weapons! The tall tree people quickly disintegrated under the light beam attack. A few batches of semi-mechanized soldiers appeared from the back of the campus and aimed at the tree spirits who dared to show themselves. Fortunately, with the help of the tree people blocking the bullets, Yates and his group were not severely injured. They quickly retreated from the campus and found cover to hide in. Fang Heng glanced at the area where the tree spirits gathered. It seemed that the tree spirits were also surprised by the firepower of the research institute. After a short period of confusion, a large number of tree people did not stop but continued to slowly approach the research institute. Fang Heng quickly figured out the tree spirits’ intentions. Relying on the tree people as meat shields to forcefully withstand the damage of the beam weapon, the tree spirit archers directly attacked from the rear! Got it. It seemed that the tree spirit race had no other choice but to take it head-on. It was nothing more than a battle of attrition. Fang Heng shook his head. He thought that the tree spirits were very powerful. He looked as if he was arrogant. After all this time, it was nothing more than this. The strength level of the tree spirits was indeed higher than that of normal mid-tier games. But that was all. He felt that it was a little weaker than he had expected. It didn’t deserve the title of a high-level game. In addition, the tree spirits had summoned a lot of tree people, but they could not withstand such a consumption. Moreover, the tree people’s movement speed was too slow. There would definitely be no time for support to come up and block the bullets. It seemed that he had to make a move himself. Fang Heng’s hands quickly condensed a mark in front of him. “Condense!!” Spiritual force activation! Instantly, a drop of red blood condensed between Fang Heng’s eyebrows. The blood gradually floated in the air, emitting an evil light in the air and emitting an invisible pressure. “What?!” Yates felt the red light that appeared beside him. He turned his head abruptly and stared at Fang Heng in a daze. Suddenly, he instinctively felt a sense of fear and took two steps back. The way he looked at Fang Heng suddenly became extremely strange. What the hell was that? A spell? Who was that kid? It wasn’t that only the guardians of nature had the ability to cast spells. Fang Heng’s special ability was clearly beyond his expectations. “Tsk!!!” The next moment, a dark red gate bloomed from the blood. The portal opened! “Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!” In the next moment, Lickers flew out of the magic array one after another! Originally, a large number of trees were blocking bullets in front of them. The Lickers had joined the battlefield! A large number of Lickers shuttled through the dense crowd of trees and headed straight for the defensive facilities on the campus! At the back, the mechanically modified soldiers were shocked when they saw the Lickers that had suddenly appeared. That thing… Lickers?! Just two days ago, they had just undergone an emergency training session, where the federal department specifically instructed them on how to deal with creatures like the Licker, known for their powerful vitality. Encountering one today? Was this a practical exam? The Lickers quickly reached the front line of the battlefield! They relied on their extremely fast and agile steps to quickly fly through the light beam defense network. Some of the beam weapons had a life magnetic field locking function, which could lock onto the target directly. Thus, the Licker’s agility ability did not allow it to avoid too many long-range beam attacks. The light beams continuously struck the Lickers and exploded! The effect was not good! The Licker’s HP and self-recovery ability were extremely high! Not to mention that the Lickers were more agile than the tree people. They were extremely ‘smart’ to spread out their formation, trying to bypass the large area of mechanical guards in front of them and pounce towards the research institute area at the back! In the command center of OmniTech Company, the director of the research institute saw this scene through remote surveillance and could not help but frown. “Activate the force field.” “Understood!” “Buzz…!” The next moment, an invisible force field appeared around the periphery of the research institute. The defensive force field isolated all the Lickers outside! The force field hindered the Lickers, and they immediately attacked the defensive force field! “Report! The level of the force field is slowly decreasing!” “Please mobilize the Federation’s mechanized soldier team and approve the use of the improved virus injection gun. Prioritize dealing with the Licker creatures!” “Understood!” Ji Haiting was standing beside him. When he saw the Lickers outside, his eyes revealed an interested expression. Fang Heng. He was here again! He was indeed in cahoots with the tree spirits. In the past two days, OmniTech Company had urgently developed a batch of anti-virus potions that targeted the Lickers. The effects were better than before. Due to the limitations of the materials, there was not much of this batch of medicine. However, it was enough to deal with the battle in front of him. Ji Haiting looked at the monitor screen with anticipation in his eyes, hoping that Fang Heng would continue to surprise him. “Eh?” Suddenly, Ji Haiting’s pupils shrank, and his face turned solemn. That was… Suddenly, white dots of light appeared around the Lickers who were staring at the defensive barrier of the research institute. Eh? Many people in the battle hall noticed the abnormality and stared at the Lickers. A researcher shouted, “Report! Spatial fluctuations detected!” “Whoosh! Whoosh!!!” In the next moment, the Lickers disappeared from the space.
