Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 319: Emergency Rescue
Will Waldo come to rescue them? Just when everyone was on the brink of despair, Stanley’s words lifted their spirits! Hope ignited in their eyes once more.
"Stay calm, everyone! Unite to face the snow beasts, concentrate your firepower, and halt their advance! We just need to wait for Waldo to arrive, and the crisis will be averted!"
"That’s right! Waldo’s strength is unparalleled in the world! In front of him, any difficulty can be overcome! As long as we hold on for Waldo’s arrival, we will be saved! Everyone, we must endure!"
Soon, the people, rejuvenated with hope, began a full-scale counterattack. Though they were surrounded by the snow beasts, their firepower remained fierce, barely holding back the advance of the creatures. However, it was clear they couldn’t hold out for long.
Before long, when the snow beasts broke through their lines of defense and charged into the crowd, a massacre might await them!
The only hope for the people now was for Waldo to arrive as soon as possible!
On the other side, in Dawn City, Waldo received Stanley’s plea for help, and his brow couldn’t help but furrow.
"Over a hundred snow beasts? And nearly ten of them are lord-level snow beasts?"
Waldo’s expression gradually darkened.
"How could there be so many snow beasts outside Dawn City? We sent out so many soldiers to hunt and kill them; the numbers should have been decreasing. Yet, now, there’s such a massive group of over a hundred snow beasts!"
During the development of Dawn City, the city guards occasionally ventured into the snowy plains for training. Their assessment tasks included hunting snow beasts and keeping track of their numbers and movements.
There were no signs of large-scale snow beast activity. However, this time, over a hundred snow beasts are collectively attacking the Moon Alliance’s team. What’s more, lord-level snow beasts have appeared.
These circumstances far exceed Waldo’s expectations and have left him astonished. It appears that the number of snow beasts on the snowy plains may be far beyond what we imagined.
Previous reconnaissance and statistics must have been severely flawed, or perhaps the tracks of the snow beasts were simply too elusive to trace.
At this moment, Helen spoke up. She was right beside Waldo and naturally knew about the plea for help from Stanley, the head of the Moon Alliance.
Waldo nodded.
Without hesitation, he immediately got up.
"There’s no time to say much. I need to move out immediately for the rescue. Anything that needs discussing can wait until I return!"
After that, Waldo teleported directly out of the general’s residence.
Then, he soared into the air, like a bullet fired, flying towards the distance!
Watching Waldo’s departure, both Alanna and Helen had worried expressions in their eyes.
"The increase in the number of snow beasts is a major problem, especially with the appearance of lord-level snow beasts. You should know, one lord-level snow beast is equivalent to ten or even more regular snow beasts," Alanna said.
"According to some recent reports, the number of snow beasts is clearly increasing worldwide. Perhaps, before long, major cities may face an existential crisis, and our Dawn City won’t be an exception."
Helen nodded, pondering. "The main issue is the strength of the snow beast lords. Their individual strength is formidable! Perhaps only the top thirty or so individuals globally can handle them. To kill a true snow beast lord, you’d need to be in the top ten in strength!"
"If it’s just regular snow beasts, no matter how many, it’s not a problem for our Dawn City. The real challenge lies in the lord-level snow beasts, and even more powerful snow beasts!"
At these words, Alanna’s mouth slightly opened in surprise. "Are lord-level snow beasts really that powerful? But just now, Waldo mentioned that there are close to ten lord-level snow beasts."
Alanna couldn’t help but look worried. Does this mean Waldo is in danger? Can Waldo really handle so many lord-level snow beasts simultaneously?
"It should be fine," Helen reassured.
Waldo is rapidly heading to support the Moon Alliance.
As for what Alanna and Helen are discussing, he is not aware.
His speed is fast, his ability [Flight] has already reached level four. After reaching level ninety-nine, his flying speed has significantly increased.
Currently, his flying speed exceeds three hundred kilometers per hour and can be sustained for two hours. The weather is suitable for flying now.
During his flight, he communicated with Stanley from the Moon Alliance twice. From Stanley, he learned that the snow beasts were ferocious, and their makeshift defense line quickly collapsed, resulting in heavy losses.
They could handle regular snow beasts, but they had no way to deal with lord-level snow beasts. Stanley and the other controllers were simply no match for the lord-level snow beasts.
"Speed up! Moon Alliance is likely to be completely slaughtered by the lord-level snow beasts if we delay any longer!"
Ten minutes later, Waldo finally arrived at the scene.
Looking down from high above, dozens of snow beasts were rampaging among the panicked crowd. Many people were in a state of panic, desperately trying to escape. However, their speed was too slow compared to the snow beasts, and they were easily caught up.
The outcome was inevitable - they were easily killed, and the snowy ground was dyed with their hot blood. A cry of agony filled the air. The scene was gruesome.
"Help!"
A young man, covered in blood, was desperately fleeing, crawling and rolling. His face bore bloodstains, the source unknown. His expression was one of fear, with a hint of despair.
If one looked closely, they would discover that this man was actually Stanley’s adjutant!
At this moment, even Stanley’s adjutant had fallen into such a state. One can imagine how intense and grim the battle was.
At that very moment, a snow beast singled him out and lunged at him!
"Save me!"
The adjutant screamed in desperation. In his panic, he accidentally fell to the ground. The snow beast pounced on him.
It’s over! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The adjutant closed his eyes in despair, thinking this was the moment he would surely die!
"Die!"
A resounding voice erupted near him.
The next moment, he heard the snow beast’s agonizing wails. Following that, a scalding and foul-smelling liquid splashed onto his face.
However, the adjutant paid no attention. He widened his eyes and saw a striking figure appear before him. A red spear effortlessly pierced through the snow beast, and scalding blood gushed desperately from the wound!
The adjutant’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that Waldo?!"
"Waldo is here, we’re saved!!!" the adjutant exclaimed, overcome with joy.
At the same time, in other locations, many survivors faced a crisis. Just when they thought they were doomed, a figure suddenly appeared and effortlessly slew the snow beasts. When they recognized the figure, the rescued individuals shouted with delight and excitement.
"It’s Waldo! Waldo is here to save us!"
"Thank goodness, we’re finally saved!"
"You damn snow beasts, your end is near!"
Amidst the ecstatic cheers of the crowd, Waldo’s clones, after killing the snow beasts, wasted no time and rushed to other locations to rescue those being pursued by the snow beasts.
At this moment, Waldo’s ability to create clones, [Shadow Clones], demonstrated its marvelous effectiveness to the fullest extent.
A total of nine shadow clones!
Whether in rescuing or efficiently slaying the snow beasts, their performance was exceptional.
Soon, a large number of snow beasts were killed by Waldo.
Simultaneously, more and more survivors witnessed this scene. When they found out that it was Waldo coming to their rescue, they were overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement.
If they had any doubts before about whether Waldo would really come to save them, at this moment, they wanted to slap themselves twice.
"Waldo is here, the snow beasts are doomed!"
"Waldo is terrifying! These ferocious snow beasts are nothing before him. He truly is the most powerful man in the world!"
"Thank you for saving our lives, we can’t thank you enough!!"
At that moment, all the survivors erupted into waves of joyful cheers.
Indeed, it was Waldo! He has come to rescue us!
Blood trickled from the corners of Stanley’s mouth; he was severely injured. In this moment of peril, he chose not to abandon his subordinates and run away alone but instead opted for a decisive battle with the snow beasts.
In doing so, he engaged in a fierce battle with a lord-level snow beast. Chased by the lord-level snow beast, he could only barely stay alive. It wouldn’t be long before he could no longer hold on, and his life would be in grave danger.
Now, seeing Waldo’s appearance, he was overcome with ecstatic joy. In his moments of despair, hope burned brightly once again.
"This is great, we’re finally saved!" Stanley felt an overwhelming gratitude towards Waldo.
Roar!
A tremendous roar interrupted his thoughts. The immense sound even made eardrums tremble. Stanley quickly turned around and saw the lord-level snow beast pouncing towards him!
The speed of the lord-level snow beast was simply too fast!
By the time Stanley realized and tried to escape, it was already too late.
"Oh no! I’m going to die!"
Stanley desperately tried to flee. However, his body didn’t respond at all, and he couldn’t make an effective countermove.
In an instant, Stanley felt utter despair!
Am I really going to die?
Stanley thought despairingly, closing his eyes and awaiting the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
However, to his surprise, the Grim Reaper did not arrive first. Instead, the man he admired immensely made his appearance.
"Waldo!"
"Prepare to die!"
Waldo roared, sweeping his fiery spear through the icy air. Flames danced like dragons on the long spear, generating immense heat and rolling waves.
In an instant, a vast expanse of snow melted and evaporated!
The nearby survivors felt the scorching waves. At this moment, it was as if a flame god had descended, exuding boundless majesty and unparalleled power.
One strike pierced the head of the lord-level snow beast, ending its life!
