Blood was staining the Holy City.
Guangyao and Liang Chuyin did not know exactly how many mutated life forms were controlled by Cloud Summit to attack the Holy City; the specific number should exceed three hundred thousand.
If quality was not a requirement, the mutant rat army could always surprise people.
Although these creatures were not particularly powerful, they had a special craving for human blood and flesh. Once they were unrestrained, their ferocity would multiply.
Among the many people in the Holy City, not everyone was a strong fighter; some were even weaker than these large rats.
Moreover, it should be noted that the mutant rat army was a collective life form. They would not separate but would gather together. Under such overwhelming numbers, how could the strong stand a chance?
Once the mutant rat army reached the ground, they quickly became a nightmare for the inhabitants of the Holy City. They spread like a dark cloud in a single direction, leaving no survivors in their wake.
In contrast to the rapid advance of the mutant rat army, the zombies seemed to be fighting more independently.
Their individual strength was relatively strong, and upon sensing the presence of humans, they would charge straight at them.
This directly led to them spreading throughout most of the Holy City, setting vast areas ablaze.
There were still those in the Holy City who were not lacking in courage. They even organized several hunting teams specifically to hunt zombies. The few strong teams sent by Ahmed also participated in these exterminations.
However, there was no choice; many of the zombies were high-level entities, including the eight-star corpse king, and they were simply not something ordinary evolvers from the Holy City could deal with. To prevent these killing machines from rampaging, the experts of the Holy City were compelled to pursue them.
The outcome was uncertain; the roles of hunter and prey could switch at any moment.
The gene warrior legion appeared to be the most organized military force. Once they entered the city, they quickly changed from their previous siege characteristics to an orderly advance, specifically targeting strategic locations like military camps and noble estates.
At first, the various types of warriors struggled to cooperate, but later improved significantly. By the time Ye Zhongming issued a surrender announcement, they had already formed numerous small teams of various types that could support each other while sweeping through the city.
In the entire Cloud Summit, not many teams could achieve such coordination.
However, the gene warrior legion still suffered significant casualties. They were, after all, targeting hard bones to chew on; having just taken down what should have been a large noble estate, the casualties among the gene warriors on the way exceeded two hundred.
Su Haile had set his sights on the gene legion. So far, he had led his Sharp Blade Squad in two surprise attacks, aiming for a decapitation strike.
Within the Holy City, he was indeed outstanding, keenly identifying the weaknesses of this army and locating them.
Yet, the commander, who had sacrificed many researchers, was a prized possession for Cloud Summit. Not only were there elite long-range sniper squads like Li Qiang and his subordinates nearby, but also over a hundred powerful warriors from Cloud Summit, even some gene warriors modified by White Hole Crystals, protecting him.
Not to mention, the commander's position was already deep in the center of the gene army.
As a result, Su Haile's two surprise attacks both failed, costing him over a third of his squad’s casualties.
On the other hand, being able to carry out two surprise attacks and still come out alive from the gene warrior army was enough to demonstrate his strength and that of his subordinates.
"How's the situation?"
Su Haile lightly bandaged the wound on his left chest. With his eight-star evolver physique, he estimated he could recover in a few hours.
This residential house was right next to the area being swept by the gene legion. Even without listening closely, he could hear the heavy footsteps unique to the gene warriors hitting the ground, showing that these people had not given up, even after failing twice.
