Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 084: Fighting Against the Sky Fire Lizard

Fan Chen was already used to flying using the HK-80KAH-EP Armor, but he did not dare to fly too high despite having the features of pressurized air and oxygen filter, which was used for air and oxygen, which forcibly delivers oxygen to the lungs to avoid anoxia.

He only flew at an altitude of 300 meters from the ground to be able to see more clearly what was in the area he passed.

"I did know there were many Protection Cities, but did not expect it to be this many."

Fan Chen had already flown from Guandong Province to Henan Province after passing through Jiangxi Province. Passing a distance of 1,390 kilometers, he saw hundreds of cities that had become ruins and dozens of Protection Cities that were built as is.

Only 410 kilometers left until the point B where Alpha Team is located.

"Mom, is Mom there?"

“Mother in the Supervisory Room, Mother has already spoken to Aunt Yin Mengqi that Chen'er will come pick them up.”

"good. I'll probably be up to seven minutes, ma'am."

Fan Chen could have increased his speed to Mach 5, but he still did not dare to despite the protective armor made from gold and titanium alloys. If there was a problem and his body was shaken, I don't know what would happen to his internal organs. At the very least, he would wait until Level 80, only then would he dare to fly at a speed above Mach 5.

“Master, detected a lizard-like mutant beast flying in the sky, the target is Team Alpha.”

Xiaochu showed a snapshot of the image from the Scanning Drone; a brown-colored lizard was seen flying in the sky at Mach 0.5, there were bat-like wings on its back and there was a blazing fire on its tail.

His scales looked hard like metal and there was faintly hot steam spreading around his body. For his body size is like twice the size of a normal elephant.

"How long are we gonna be?"

“Five minutes.”

Fan Chen took a deep breath and hesitated, but in the end he gritted his teeth full of determination to increase his speed to Mach 5.

When the Shandian Bracelet obtained many Lightning Elements, the Shandian Bracelet sent a large amount of power to the ion propulsion machine in the legs and hands.

Bang out!

A loud bang was heard as a shock wave with water vapor formed when the HK-80KAH-EP Armor shot faster. If there is a person next to him, the person will be knocked down with a damaged internal organ, a ruptured eardrum, or even brain hemorrhage.

“Three minutes 54 seconds.”

...***...

—Boye Village, Boading City, Hebei— Province

A village that had been destroyed with nothing, not even plants were visible at all. But at this moment, there were dozens of cars parked irregularly and there were several tents built, as well as several heavily armed men driving around guarding the surrounding area.

"How's it?"

The beautiful woman named Chu Baiyin sighed as she got a question from her husband, Tang Zixuan. "Our foodstuff can only last for two days, and tomorrow the day after winter. The planned trip will be completed in two to four weeks, possibly into three months. I don't know if we can hold on until then."

Tang Zixuan massaged her forehead and looked around, thinking what to do in the open like this in the moment they ran out of fuel. If only soldiers were to catch up, perhaps they could still fight back, but with the danger of mutant beasts and zombies, they did not have enough manpower to fight it together.

"The reinforcements that the Cold Rose sent, did it arrive safely?" Tang Zixuan sat on the portable chair limply.

Chu Baiyin massaged Tang Zixuan's shoulders. "We don't know, just yesterday he said send fuel. If there's no obstacle, it'll take two weeks."

"Two weeks ..."

Suddenly, the door in the car of some kind of mini bus opened, out came a silver-haired woman named Yin Mengqi. "Good news!"

"What's wrong? Can you not scream?" Old Man who from the start was sitting with his face covered in caping, suddenly looked up at Yin Mengqi.

Yin Mengqi smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Yue contacted me, she said her son came to pick us up and was expected to arrive within three minutes."

"Three minutes?!" Old Man stood up hurriedly to drop the folding table in front of him. "No way! We have only left the Imperial City for four days, even if he departs shortly after we contact Xiao Yue, this is only nine days, it will take another five days to arrive if it counts the normal time!"

Yin Mengqi shrugged her shoulders as she spread her hands. "She said that, surely I should trust my little sister."

Old Man opened his lips about to speak, but not knowing what to say, he sat back down and covered his face caping.

Luo Zhu came carrying an AK-47 in his hand. "Three minutes? Is his son around here? Why don't we pick up—"

Kraaah!

A loud roar suddenly sounded from the sky.

Looks big lizard brown flying with low altitude. The flapping of its wings caused a strong wind that resulted in the rise of dust and sand, making visibility reduced.

"Damn!" Luo Zhu raised the AK-47 and aimed his shot at the sky.

The others did not stay silent, they all took up their respective weapons to fight the Sky Fire Lizard.

Red rays like bullets came from all directions, besieging the Sky Fire Lizard. The beam was an attack from the 1K-20AM Laser Gun Drone, but it was unable to penetrate the scales of the Sky Fire Lizard as the temperature was only 500° Celsius. If it exceeds 1,200° Celsius, it may be able to make an impact, but the battery power has been drained and can not do a strong attack.

Old Man got into one of the cars, he took out the remaining rocket-propelled grenade. He no longer hesitated like before when there was a team of pursuers, he immediately pulled the trigger.

The grenade shot out quickly leaving a tail of fire behind and formed smoke that was left behind.

Boom up!

The grenade managed to hit the Sky Fire Lizard, but it did not give a positive impact due to the harshness of the scales.

The Alpha team expected this and did not panic at all, but neither with the children nor the siblings together.

The Fourth level Sky Fire Lizard (Level 89) opened its mouth wide, it was seen that there was a red light gathering in the middle.

The Old Man was shocked when he saw the Sky Fire Lizard opening its mouth, he waved back loudly and shouted, "Dodging!"

Without lingering, everyone dashed away from the attack area of the Sky Fire Lizard.

The Sky Fire Lizard shot out without even having the chance to unleash its attacks. It swirled in the sky with scales on its tumbling head.

"Look!" One of the young men looked up at the humanoid steel in the sky and pointed at him.

"What's that?" Tang Zixuan looked up at the direction her son, Tang Huo, was pointing at.

All they saw in the sky was the reinforcements they were waiting for, Fan Chen who was wearing the HK-80KAH-EP Armor.

Fan Chen floated in the air with an ion machine on his back and flaming legs.

He raised his right hand; the donut-shaped ion machine died, replaced by an ion machine in the center that lit up and gathered energy.

Whoooooooshes!

A collection of blue charged atoms with the size of a round ball shot out at the speed of sound, it led to the Sky Fire Lizard that was still in a daze.

Boom up! Boom up! Boom up!

The ion shot hit the scales of the Sky Flame Lizard, releasing several scales with a blue flame.

Fan Chen flew over to the Sky Fire Lizard and fired an ion shot as he circled around it, attacking all sides without giving any chance to fight back.

The Sky Fire Lizard flapped its wings, giving rise to a sharp wind storm around it. Then he opened his mouth again, preparing to attack the people below.

Fan Chen could not let him act as he pleased, he darted very fast and unleashed a one ton punch.

The Sky Fire Lizard again failed to unleash an attack, it even looked extremely furious that one of its teeth had come loose. He roared loudly, then rushed towards Fan Chen.

Fan Chen flew higher to avoid the people below while fighting against the Sky Fire Lizard, so the impact of each attack did not hit them.

The Sky Fire Lizard flew after Fan Chen while letting out an angry roar.

When it had reached the height of a kilometer, Fan Chen flew around by pulling his hands back, taking a swipe to unleash a punch.

The Sky Fire Lizard opened its mouth, releasing an extremely hot fire breath.

Fan Chen did not dodge it, he continued darting through the flames and appearing in front of the Sky Fire Lizard, then he attacked in part of his eyes using lasers until it burned.

The Sky Fire Lizard cried out with pain, it moved wildly and swung its tail attacking Fan Chen.

Fan Chen raised his hand, releasing an ion shot.

Bang out!

A loud bang was heard when the ion shot hit the lizard's tail, sending the tail crashing backward.

The Sky Fire Lizard paid no heed to the wound on its tail, it opened its mouth wide to swallow Fan Chen and bite him with all its might.

Fan Chen reacted too late, he was inside the mouth of the lizard, but was not completely swallowed as he held the upper jaw of the lizard using both hands. "If I don't wear this armor, maybe my body's already broken."

He took out a large amount of Tempel★ Grenades and threw them inside the mouth of the Sky Fire Lizard. Then he jumped back, came out of the HK-80KAH-EP Armor and went into freefall.

"Save!" Fan Chen shouted as he pointed his hand towards the mouth of the lizard, storing the HK-80KAH-EP Armor into the Inventory.

After successfully storing the HK-80KAH-EP Armor, he pressed the small match-shaped button.

Boom up!

Suddenly there was an explosion from within the mouth of the Sky Fire Lizard and there was a fire blazing with rushing blood flowing like a stream.

The free-falling Fan Chen still did not issue the HK-80KAH-EP Armor, but rather two rocket-propelled grenades carried on both shoulders. He aimed the rocket-propelled grenade and pulled the trigger.

Whoooooooshes! Boom up! Boom up!

The grenade shot up against the Sky Fire Lizard, giving it quite a high impact because the attack hit the right part of the face that had been damaged.

The Sky Fire Lizard was unable to make any more noises due to its extremely severe injuries, it lowered its gaze on Fan Chen, then chased after him at full speed.

Fan Chen looked at the land with his head down, he spread out his hands; an HK-80KAH-EP Armor suddenly appeared behind him and caught him.

Whoooooooshes! Bang out!

He shot straight at Mach 3, then he heard a bang because of his loud shockwave.

He flew back upwards, and after exceeding the height of the Sky Fire Lizard, he maneuvered quickly so that it similarly flew downwards, but this time it was above the lizard's back.

"Damn it! You burned me! I will repay you by eating your flesh!" Fan Chen stomped on the back of the Sky Fire Lizard and grabbed the bat-like wings, then pulled it with all his might.

The Sky Fire Lizard opened its mouth, but there was no sound at all, but judging from the flowing tears, it could explain everything.

Zraash!

The Sky Fire Lizard's wings slipped off, resulting in the loss of its flying ability resulting in it falling gliding from a height.

Fan Chen jumped from the Sky Fire Lizard, and because of his jump earlier, he forced the lizard to fall faster than before.

Whoooooooshes! Bam!

The Sky Fire Lizard hit the ground, causing a great tremor, the building debris flew over with the rising dust blocking the view, the hole also formed quite deep in the ground with spiderweb-like cracks.
