Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 365

Chapter 365: The Snow Beast King
Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shells were not aimed with precision. They didn’t need to be. Outside the city, there was a vast sea of snow beasts.

Covering them with artillery fire was sufficient. No matter how they fired, they would hit the snow beasts.

Soon, countless snow beasts fell to the ground, wailing in agony.

The first wave of snow beasts suffered heavy losses.

With tens of thousands of shells fired simultaneously, the power was terrifying.

In almost no time, large areas outside the city turned into a sea of flames.

However, during the reloading process, some snow beasts managed to take advantage of the weaker artillery fire and reached within five kilometers of Dawn City.

“Even with so many snow beasts dead, why aren’t the others scared away? How is that possible? Normally, after such heavy casualties, the first wave should be over,” Nathan and Jose exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

They had watched videos of other cities defending against snow beast tides and noticed a pattern.

When snow beasts suffered excessive deaths during an assault on a city, the remaining snow beasts would become fearful and retreat, ending the assault.

However, this time, the snow beasts outside Dawn City seemed different.

Despite the previous round of artillery fire causing at least forty percent of them to die or be severely injured, and countless others to be lightly wounded, the snow beasts showed no fear.

Instead, they seemed even more frenzied in their assault on Dawn City.

Why was this happening?

At this moment, both Jose and Nathan felt that the situation was unusual. They quickly reported the situation to Alex.

…

“These snow beasts are strange. They seem fearless, and despite the heavy casualties, they’re not thinking of fleeing. They should be easy to defeat!” Jose expressed his doubts.

Nathan added, “Could there be some other factor involved…?”

They soon got their answer.

When they received the answer, their faces changed.

Alex simply said, “The King of the Snow Beasts has appeared outside Dawn City. This is the fundamental reason for the snow beasts’ fearlessness and reckless assault!”

Nathan and Jose’s minds buzzed.

The King of the Snow Beasts?

Snow Beast Lords were already terrifying. Even shells could only halt their advance but could not kill them. For them, Snow Beast Lords were an almost insurmountable challenge.

But now, a Snow Beast King had arrived!

Could they still hold out?

Alex continued, “Don’t worry too much about the Snow Beast King. I’ve got this covered!”

“Right, understood!”

Nathan and Jose, who had been momentarily stunned, suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, the snow beasts had their king, but they had Alex!

As Nathan and Jose regained their composure, their confidence was restored, and they began directing the army’s combat efforts.

“Laser cannons!”

Soon, the long-prepared laser cannons erupted with dazzling beams of light, cutting through the heavy obstacles instantly. The beams pierced through the front line of snow beasts.

The immense heat and extreme penetration power of the laser beams ripped apart the leading snow beasts in an instant.

In fact, one beam, after tearing through a snow beast, continued to kill those behind it in the same manner.

Alex had installed over 2,500 laser cannons around the city walls. If not for the space constraints, he would have installed even more. The power of these laser cannons was truly terrifying.

In an instant, the snow beasts that had surged forward were almost completely wiped out!

This scene left Nathan, Jose, and others on the city walls dumbfounded.

“Wow, the power of the laser cannons is that terrifying? I’m stunned!”

“It’s so frightening. I didn’t expect the laser cannons to be so powerful. Could they even kill Snow Beast Lords?”

However, they also understood that while laser cannons were immensely powerful, they had several drawbacks.

…

Firstly, laser cannons fire laser beams. In the current heavy snow and strong winds, the farther the distance, the faster the power diminishes.

Therefore, the closer the laser cannons are, the more terrifying they become. Once the distance exceeds five kilometers, their power drops sharply!

Moreover, another major drawback of laser cannons was their long charging time.

If the snow beasts continued to charge relentlessly, disregarding casualties, it could become difficult for the laser cannons to keep up.

At this point, the soldiers on the walls with rocket launchers and heavy machine guns would need to step up.

They formed the last line of defense on the city walls.

…

Under the onslaught of the laser cannons, nearly a thousand snow beasts perished instantly!

The boundless snowfield outside the city was stained blood-red. Countless streams of blood flowed on the ground, quickly turning into ice blocks.

However, the remaining snow beasts, still fearless, pressed on through the area covered by artillery fire, moving past the five to ten-kilometer range that had been heavily bombarded.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

Countless snow beasts roared.

When they breached the first line of defense, they suffered heavy casualties.

All the snow beasts were covered in wounds, their injuries severe.

It was clear that the losses were enormous.

For them, these five kilometers were a death trap.

It was a terrifying stretch of road.

Only the Snow Beast Lords might fare better.

Although they were also injured, their condition was relatively better.

Ordinary artillery posed little threat to them.

“Attention, the Snow Beast Lords are coming too! Aim the laser cannons at the Snow Beast Lords and make sure to eliminate them all!” Jose shouted, warning everyone.

The other ordinary snow beasts broke through the second line of defense, but they still had the third line for final cleanup.

However, once the Snow Beast Lords breached the second line of defense, the third line would be almost ineffective.

At that point, they would be in a very passive position.

Therefore, the only solution was to focus the laser cannons on the Snow Beast Lords and eliminate them directly.

…

As expected, when most of the snow beasts had crossed the first line of defense, over two thousand of them, including more than two hundred Snow Beast Lords, roared and charged towards Dawn City.

Their speed was incredibly fast.

In less than five kilometers, they could reach the city walls in just two or three minutes.

However, just as they thought victory was within reach, over a thousand laser cannons charged up and fired simultaneously.

In an instant, countless snow beasts were vaporized.

The Snow Beast Lords at the forefront, facing the laser cannons, were no different from ordinary snow beasts—they were directly killed.

Snow Beast Lords had tougher bodies and quicker reflexes, allowing them to dodge artillery shells.

Even enduring the shells wasn’t too much of a problem.

But against these laser cannons, it was a different story.

Laser beams traveled at the speed of light, making them impossible to avoid.

And their terrifying power was enough to easily kill the Snow Beast Lords.

Endure?

That was like a dream!

This time, the simultaneous barrage of laser cannons created a vacuum of destruction.

At least a thousand snow beasts were killed instantly.

Only a few managed to escape with their lives, barely surviving.

Before they could even approach the city walls of Dawn City, they were wiped out by missiles fired from rocket launchers by the survivors on the walls.
