The sizzling sound almost became the theme of Plum City in the next moment. These large electric nets fell upon the parasites. Perhaps some powerful entities couldn't be electrocuted immediately, but paralysis was certain. Even those at around level seven would inevitably be immobilized for a certain period of time.
The purpose of Cloud Summit dropping these electric nets was indeed not to kill the parasites but to set the stage for their real killing move... preparing the self-destruct gene warriors.
Just like many other technologies, Cloud Summit had made tremendous progress in the research of self-destruct gene warriors, gradually evolving into two mature types.
One type was the complete self-destruct type, whose sole function was to explode, causing damage to the surroundings. The types of damage were varied, mainly energy damage from the explosion, with toxin damage also accounting for a significant portion. The rest, such as gene pollution damage, corrosion damage, burning damage, and so on, would depend on the situation and could be added to the self-destructing life form at any time.
The other type was the combat type. These self-destruct gene warriors wouldn't self-destruct immediately; instead, they possessed decent combat strength but would trigger an explosion when they fell in battle.
The perfect situation would naturally be to combine the two types of self-destruct gene warriors, but there were technical difficulties and high costs involved, making it far more cost-effective to manufacture the two types separately.
After the electric insect nets fell, massive life forms flew in from the high points surrounding Plum City. These were flying beasts raised by Cloud Summit, not for combat but for transportation.
At this moment, they were tied to huge cargo-like metal pods beneath their bodies, flapping their wings and gliding over Plum City. As they dove down, countless gene warriors dropped from the metal pods, and by the time they took off again, Plum City was already occupied by two thousand self-destruct warriors.
They fell into the parasite horde like aerial bombs.
The muffled explosions were nowhere near the power of the magic crystal cannon and grenade launcher, yet the parasite horde was still being eliminated in chunks. All these self-destruct gene warriors were complete self-destruct types, as there was no need for combat. The explosive power had been infinitely boosted by Liu Zhenghong for this battle, and the damage they caused was far beyond any previous self-destruct warriors.
The damage they inflicted was even comparable to the barrage of magic crystal cannons at the very beginning.
Every evolver entering Plum City at this moment felt the pressure suddenly lighten.
The battle had only lasted for a little over ten minutes, yet even so, the first evolvers who stepped into the city were all feeling terrible.
They faced immense pressure.
Plum City was occupied by parasites and naturally had no defensive facilities like city walls. Many evolvers previously thought that in such an almost open small city, even if there were millions of enemies inside, under the attack of the same number of evolvers, it wouldn’t be long before they were annihilated. After all, behind them stood the invincible Cloud Summit Villa, which was now the true overlord of the national zone.
But when they truly came into contact with these parasites, they discovered that these life forms without magic crystals were far stronger than they had anticipated.
Every minute, every second, there were evolvers dying. For them, who had lived through the apocalypse for over eight years, life was something they were prepared to give up at any moment. But when death came too quickly and too frequently, there was also fear.
It was Cloud Summit's successive attacks, from magic crystal cannons to rocket launchers, from electric nets to self-destruct gene warriors, that provided these warriors with the courage to continue fighting.
It wasn't that their fighting will was significantly inferior to that of Cloud Summit Villa, but they were somewhat unaccustomed to the intensity of this warfare.
