Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1465: Hunt

The Kidds were clearly divided into different classes. The nobles were all represented by gold. The battle prowess of the gold nobles was comparable to that of the Federation Admirals. Every gold noble had the ability to stand on their own side. If he could hunt down a Golden Noble, it would undoubtedly play a huge role in the current situation, and even reverse the entire situation.

Catherine walked quickly through the camp. Her pair of deep eyes, which had been flowing like waves of the Nether River for many years, had actually ignited a wisp of flame. When she pushed open a door, it was obvious that the people inside did not expect Catherine to come here. They all stood there like wooden sculptures and watched Catherine stride past.

After picking up a large and long magical sniper rifle from a weapons platform, Catherine carried it behind her back and said, "I've taken the rifle." Then, she walked out of the door. Moments later, his Qi exploded, and he had already disappeared from the base.

After a while, an old man with a pale beard cried out in alarm, "Quickly inform the generals that General Catherine has taken Crooked Light. This gun is not finished yet!"

After shouting again, the old man's assistant hurriedly ran out of the weapons lab.

The federally occupied city of Hacker, Nelm, was practically in ruins outside the Federation's inner perimeter. Countless steel buildings tilted and toppled, piling up in disarray on the original streets. The streets were torn apart everywhere, and the magnetic tracks and flyovers that were erected high above the ground were casually placed on the ground, making the neighborhood even more chaotic. This place had become a different kind of jungle. The Federation and Kidd squads used this jungle as a stage to hunt and kill each other.

Before this, the guerrilla squads sent by the Federation had indeed had the effect of disrupting the Kidds' main force. However, after the Kidds had also sent out squads to fight, the situation had gradually evolved into one of hunting and anti-hunting.

In the ruins of a building, a Kidd squad was resting. They had achieved outstanding results today. They had already killed seven teams of the Federation, including a lieutenant general. The Kidds had a distinct class. The elite warriors dressed in silver armor formed a group of their own. On the other side, there were nobles dressed in golden armor and stomachs sitting alone.

The silver-armored elite belonged to the noble class amongst the Kidds, but they still wanted to go far away from the status of the Golden Nobility. Therefore, when there was a Golden Nobility present, the atmosphere seemed to be somewhat out of place. The warriors sat in a circle and whispered to each other. All of the reformed warriors revealed smiles on their faces. Today, their results were dazzling. This battle record was enough for them to exchange for more resources and even exchange for an enhanced transformation.

The Kidds underwent a limited number of modifications in their lives, especially intensive modifications. In addition to their own endurance is limited, an enhanced transformation needs to consume a large amount of resources. That was why they had to accumulate military merits in order to be able to carry out such mechanical modifications that could immediately increase their combat strength.

Just as the rest time was about to come, the communication channel suddenly rang, and a hurried breathing sound came from inside. Then, a specially lowered voice said, "Lord Fred, we're under attack. Again, we're under attack. I'm the only one left in the team. The other party..."

At the end of his voice, a sharp sound of air breaking sounded from the channel. Along with a miserable scream, there was only a rustling sound left in the channel. A moment later, a cold woman's voice sounded, "Don't worry, it's your turn next time."

Then the communication ended.

The silver-armored warriors all looked at the Golden Noble. The Golden Noble who had been sleeping with his eyes closed opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Confirm the situation of the other teams."

"Yes, Sir Fred." A warrior immediately used the tactical board to check the situation of the other teams. The Kidds had vital instruments buried in their bodies. After death, the HP would send a signal. Apart from their team, the other teams on the tactical board were all in a red state, indicating that they had died in battle. The warrior's expression darkened as he was about to report. Fred shook his head and stood up, "No need. Prepare for battle."

On a damaged magnetic track two blocks west of the building where the Golden Nobility Clan and the rest of the silver-armored warriors were resting, Catherine gently jumped off the ground with the extraordinarily large magical energy sniper rifle on her back and headed in the intended direction. Her movements were light and her speed was moderate, but her figure left intermittent shadows on the broken streets.

At this time, Fred had already dispersed the troops. The silver-armored warriors split up in search formation and carefully used various masks to meet Catherine's direction. The Golden Nobility Clan stood on a water tower on the street, gazing at the scenery within a kilometer square. He used his perception and the composite wave energy detection system to monitor the entire block, launching a lightning strike whenever anything unusual happened.

Catherine had already entered the Kidd's search area. She hadn't completely restrained her aura, but the Kidds hadn't noticed it. There was even a time when she was just a wall away from the two silver-armored warriors, but the Kidds had missed it in person.

Now Catherine's aura was very wonderful, seemingly indistinct, merging with the environment.

She passed through the Kidd army and headed straight for the Golden Noble. A few minutes later, she was half-squatting in a Pentagon building, only 800 meters away from Fred. The Magic Sniper Spear called Crooked Light was placed on Catherine's scaffolding made of debris. This incomplete Magic Sniper Spear only had the main parts of the spear body, and there was no ration for other items such as sights. Catherine had to adjust her trajectory through her perception. Her breathing was gentle, and the muzzle of the sniper rifle was fine-tuned in millimeters.

After everything was ready, Catherine began to release her Qi rhythmically, channeling her Origin Energy, and then pulled the trigger heavily.

Almost at the instant she fired, Fred's expression changed. The golden armor on his body lit up with a dazzling light. The shield of the armor itself, Fred's own Origin Energy Barrier, and another modified ability were activated one by one. Fred's entire body immediately shone with brilliance. A silver light pierced through many barriers, but Fred, who had finally used these defensive methods to gain a breath of buffer time, made an effort to move sideways. A silver Origin Energy bullet brushed past his chest and lifted up the golden armor, revealing the chest with golden mechanical parts embedded underneath.

Just as Fred heaved a sigh of relief, his expression changed again. The bullet had already been empty, but it had actually turned in mid-air and bounced back. This time, Fred could no longer dodge. He was shot in the left shoulder, and then a dazzling light burst out from the bullet hole in his shoulder. The water tower exploded violently. The light radiated from the explosion exceeded a hundred meters, attracting the attention of the soldiers searching the block.

The flames of the explosion were not extinguished. An aura soared into the sky, and Fred dived out. Two streaks of blue lightning shot out from behind him, pushing him into the building where Catherine was hiding like a cannonball. Fred only had one arm left. His left shoulder was broken and he was spraying oil and blood. The Golden Noble raised his right hand, and a high-energy light blade shot out from his right wrist armor, pulling out a fan-shaped light and slashing towards Catherine.

The Crooked Light Magic Sniper Spear was immediately crippled. Catherine couldn't even save her, so she could only slide back. Without any suspense, the Magic Sniper Spear was split into two by the fan-shaped saber light. Fred was furious. The light blade chopped repeatedly, and the saber tip shot out lightning snakes. Occasionally, it would condense into a ball of lightning beads that shot out. It was obvious that he had used some sort of ability.

Catherine already had a combat spear in her hand. It was made of some unknown material, dark in color, and lacking in luster. However, the frequent collisions with Fred's light blades did not mean that they were cut off, and large sparks would occasionally appear between the two.

After the two of them exchanged blows for a moment, the building was either torn apart by the light blades or pierced through by the battle spears. When they reached the street, the building collapsed with a thunderous rumble.

With a single shot, Fred was pushed away, and Catherine quickly flew back like she was gliding on ice. Two Kidd warriors surrounded him from behind, planning to pincer him. Unexpectedly, at the end of the attack, a gun hole appeared in both of their chests. It was actually pierced through by a battle spear without even noticing when Catherine had attacked. As Catherine passed by the two, she slammed into each other and the two bodies flew towards Fred. The latter's blade flickered and cut the corpse into pieces. Fred drilled through the corpse and bit on Catherine.

Catherine suddenly stopped and her gun stopped on the ground. Fred narrowed his eyes, only to find that the spatial light had dimmed a little, and there was nothing unusual about it. After Kathleen stopped her gun, she slid back and took the initiative to pounce. Fred suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a muzzle. He immediately spat out a string of bullets like a whip towards Catherine. As he wished, the young Federation general dodged to the side. Everything was as Fred had calculated. His eyes flashed with joy, and the blade of light cut into Catherine's shoulder as he wished. He saw the girl's face full of astonishment.

But in the next moment, Catherine's figure dissipated like a bubble.

Fred lowered his head and held it. Catherine's spear pierced through his chest from behind. What was even more serious was that the berserk Origin Energy attached to the gun shot into his body, piercing through some important parts and organs.

Catherine retreated with a single blow, and Fred's expression twisted. He covered his chest and opened his mouth to roar, and rays of light emerged from his body. Seeing the light, the warriors rushing over were greatly shocked. Every Kidd had a bomb hidden in his body. The power of the bomb depended on his class. For an expert like Fred, once the bomb in his body exploded, it would be enough to blow up more than half of the city.

Obviously, there was no time left for them to escape.

Catherine's expression also changed. After dealing with the Kidds so many times, how could she not know their methods? She raised her gun and pointed at Fred. A dark gray ribbon of light appeared out of thin air and slanted in front of Fred. Following the formation of the second ribbon of light, the next ribbons weaved into a multifaceted grid pattern, sealing Fred inside like a fence. A strong light flashed in the fence and Fred self-destructed. However, the energy that was enough to blow up more than half of the city finally appeared as a thick pillar of light, blasting only one street into ruins, reducing its power by more than sixty to seventy percent.
