Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse With My Military System

Chapter 265  Graves vs Lin Feng's Harem Part 2

"Eagle this is Specter-1, I just engaged Lin Feng's elite associates," Graves reported.

"Copy that, Specter-1. We were having trouble as Lin Feng downed our reaper drone. We have eyes on your location and we can see that you have dominated them, well done."

"But Eagle, this is too easy, I don't think they'll die that easily," Graves said, his voice laced with suspicion. Suddenly, the ground trembled beneath him. Graves steadied himself and looked down just in time to see Lin Feng's associates emerging from a dome-shaped biomass shield. It was glowing red as if it was affected by the intense temperature of the plasma beam. The dome unfolded like flowers, and inside it, Graves saw whom he had thought he had killed in the plasma beam safely protected within. "Eagle, confirming the status of the tangoes, they are still active, over," Graves reported promptly. "Hmm…Graves, those are beyond the mutated zombies, I believe you can fight them but you are not going to emerge victorious at the end," Richard commented and continued. "But that doesn't mean you should retreat, wait for me, and I'll head there immediately."

"Eagle…thank you for your offered support but aren't you busy setting up nuclear missiles?" "Mark, Sara, and the rest of the staffers present in the command center and at the airport are capable of doing those preparations without me overseeing. So, let's go ahead and conclude this once and for all," Richard responded firmly. There was a sense of resolve in his voice, indicating the seriousness of the situation.

"Copy that, Eagle. I'll hold the line until you arrive," Graves replied, his tone matching Richard's determination.

Graves re-engaged with Lin Feng's associates, taking a more defensive stance this time. He knew he had to conserve his strength and keep the adversaries at bay until Richard's arrival. There were ten of them, each having their own abilities. One could manipulate blood like Crimson, hurling solidified blood arrows at him, one could control biomass akin to earth bending, sending shards of biomass at him, another is a corrupted plant magic user, continuing to attack with vines and poisonous spores. Graves had to constantly adapt to each unique style of combat.

Another associate, who appeared to be a necromancer, summoned a horde of mutated undead. These creatures, unlike typical zombies, were fast and coordinated, requiring Graves to use rapid-fire plasma shots to keep them at bay.

A fifth associate exhibited pyrokinetic abilities, launching fireballs that Graves narrowly dodged. The intense heat of the flames added another layer of challenge to the battlefield.

The sixth member of Lin Feng's elite force seemed to control pestilence. Swarms of insects, each carrying a deadly virus, buzzed around, forcing Graves to activate his suit's bio-filter to prevent infection.

A seventh associate wielded electrical powers, sending jolts of high-voltage electricity toward Graves. His suit's insulation systems had to work overtime to protect him from electrocution.

The rest were simply enhanced physical strength that could go toe-to-toe with his suit. In the heat of battle, Lin Feng's associates seamlessly coordinated their attacks. Graves, who was mid-air, engaging one of the physically enhanced associates, suddenly found himself ensnared. The plant magic user, with a swift motion, conjured thick vines that shot up, entangling Graves and pulling him down from his aerial maneuver.

As he struggled against the constrictive grip of the vines, the necromancer summoned undead creatures that leaped and clung onto the vines, adding their weight and strength, further restraining Graves. Their decayed hands and gnashing teeth were inches from his suit, trying to tear through its armor.

The blood manipulator, seizing the opportunity, launched a barrage of solidified blood spears toward the trapped Graves. Each spear whistled through the air aiming to pierce through any weak spot in his armor.

Simultaneously, the biomass controller hurled sharp shards of hardened biomass, each piece aiming to slice through the vines and into Graves. The shards and blood spears created a deadly hailstorm around him.

The pyrokinetic associate then unleashed a volley of intense fireballs, each exploding upon impact, engulfing Graves in a wave of searing heat. The flames licked at the vines, threatening to incinerate them, but the plant magic user swiftly grew fresh vines to replace the burnt ones, maintaining the relentless grip on Graves.

Amidst this onslaught, the pestilence controller sent swarms of lethal insects, creating a buzzing cloud around Graves. [Shield Integrity: 80 percent]

Graves never found himself in real danger as he saw the stats of his shield integrity. They can throw whatever they want, the Titan's Guard Mark II can handle them all. Maybe through this, he may be able to demoralize them.

The electrical associate discharged another wave of lightning, crackling with raw power. Graves' suit absorbed the impact, its systems momentarily flickering before stabilizing. He could feel the strain on the suit, but it held firm, its defenses unwavering against the relentless assault.

In a swift countermove, Graves activated his suit's EMP pulse. The sudden burst of electromagnetic energy disrupted the plant's magic, causing the vines to wither and retract. The undead summoned by the necromancer collapsed, their animation ceased by the pulse.

Taking advantage of the momentary respite, Graves targeted the pestilence controller. A precise plasma shot from his suit disintegrated the swarm of insects, neutralizing the immediate viral threat.

The pyrokinetic associate, undeterred, intensified her attacks, conjuring a firestorm that engulfed the area. Graves' suit's thermal regulators worked at maximum capacity, keeping the scorching heat at bay.

Graves knew he couldn't let this battle drag on. He needed to turn the tide. He focused his attention on the blood manipulator, who was preparing another volley of blood spears. With pinpoint accuracy, Graves fired a series of plasma shots, each one intercepting and evaporating the blood spears mid-air. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Realizing that a direct assault was futile against such a coordinated enemy, Graves switched tactics. He utilized the suit's advanced mobility systems, darting through the battlefield swiftly. His goal was to divide and conquer, isolating Lin Feng's associates to prevent them from combining their powers.

The biomass controller, sensing the shift in strategy, tried to restrict Graves' movement with a surge of biomass tendrils. Graves anticipated the move, activating his suit's plasma blade to slice through the tendrils as he maneuvered around them, closing the distance to the controller—then delivered a punch.

The punch landed with such force that the biomass controller was catapulted backward, crashing into a nearby abandoned sedan with a thunderous impact. Graves flickered to the pyromancer and performed an overhead strike—. However, before his blade could chop the head of the pyromancer, Elise whispered.

"Freeze."

Graves found himself encased in a thick layer of dark ice, immobilizing him completely.
