However, these thick-skinned beasts were too resilient. After demolishing more than a dozen of them, the power of the laser wasn't as effective anymore.
In the end, it could only flip a few armored rhinoceroses upside down.
"How long until the next round of firing?"
On the roof of the carriage, the train Conductor was so anxious that he was hopping around, shouting at the operator of the turret.
The operator wiped his sweat and replied with a grim face, "It will take another ten seconds! However, we only have enough energy reserves for another ten rounds!"
Upon hearing this, the Conductor became silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "First, go support our soldiers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three more lasers whistled out, directly blasting a large gap in the group of mutated beasts besieging the soldiers.
"Good Lord, that was close!"
In the center of the battlefield, Ethan, bulging with pronounced muscles, swung his Sky-Cleaving Great Axe, moving through the horde of beasts as though in a deserted territory.
That laser beam just now had narrowly missed his head, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
However, he also knew this was inevitable.
After all, with his more than six-foot height, in the midst of these creatures, he was like a grain of sand in the ocean, who could identify him at a glance?
At this moment, a shaking like the rumbling of mountains and rivers came from Ethan's back.
Without turning his head, he swung his Sky-Cleaving Great Axe vigorously!
With the sound of a "Pchi", an Iron-Armored Rhino was split in half from its eye, gushing blood.
This beast was trying to ambush him just now, but now, it had turned into two chunks of rotted meat.
When the Iron-Armored Rhino was sliced into halves by Ethan, the upper half heavily crashed to the ground, while the lower half, under the inertia, ran far away before collapsing with a booming sound.
"Progress points +90!"
The system prompt timely rang.
As Ethan raised his hand and slashed down, his other hand had grabbed tightly onto the long horn of another Iron-Armored Rhino.
His arm muscles bulged, the veins squirming like earthworms. With a muffled sound, he flipped the Iron-Armored Rhino onto the ground with bare hands! With a crisp "Crack", the Sky-Cleaving Great Axe slid across the neck of the Iron-Armored Rhino and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Advancement points +90!"
It was the system's voice again.
"Jeez, this efficiency is way too low..."
Ethan, who had just slain two armored rhinoceroses, grumbled with a frown.
At this moment, he was more than five hundred meters away from the group of warriors.
Seemingly not far, but to forge a path of bloodshed to charge in and provide support, the difficulty was not small.
The mission demanded both repelling the beast tide and minimizing the casualties of the warriors, leaving Ethan in a dilemma.
"Screw it, why should I hide my prowess?! It's time to see where my limit lies!" Ethan shook his head and slung the Sky-Cleaving Great Axe over his back.
He took a starting stance and dashed towards the direction where the warriors were.
Just at that moment, an armored rhino rushed out from the side. Ethan did not slow down, directly colliding with it.
"Boom!" A loud crash, like the collision of two heavy-duty trucks.
With a rumble, the hulking armored rhino was tossed aside as if by an invisible giant hand, crashing directly into its herd, stirring a chaotic uproar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a cannonball out of its chamber, Ethan rampaged straight through the herd of armored rhinoceroses.
Every collision made these enormous creatures sway like bowling pins.
The miraculous power of S-Class Black Steel Battle Body Gene was gathering on the surface of Ethan, radiating a faint golden glow.
This glow, like the sturdiest armour, ensured his unharmed condition in this contest of brute strength.
With each impact, Ethan didn't feel a trace of pain, but a nameless sense of thrilling pleasure instead, as if each cell in his body were cheering and leaping.
"Damn, this feeling is over the top!" Ethan couldn't help but grin.
"Captain, we need to retreat now!"
"Captain, you can't fall here!"
A few soldiers, navigating through the beast swarm with difficulty, were dragging a bloody silhouette back.
That figure was their captain, who was now seeing red. One of his legs was trampled into a mess by an armored rhino, only leaving a piece of rotten flesh hanging onto his body. "Damn it, let me go! Are you all deaf? Let go of me!"
The captain, roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with frustration and rage.
"I can still fight! Let go!"
However, the soldiers turned a deaf ear to his pleas, biting their lips, they dragged him into the temporarily set defense circle.
To protect the carriage where the specially recruited students were located, these brave warriors, under the leadership of David Miller, resolutely charged into the beast swarm.
At first, their killing momentum was immense, but soon a large number of warriors were injured.
To prevent these wounded from being trampled into mud by the Iron Rhinoceroses, Commander Miller gave an order and everyone immediately formed a triple defense circle, ready to fight to the death with the rhinoceroses. "You damn fools, get me down right now!"
A few blood-drenched comrades hurriedly placed the injured squad leader on a stretcher and clumsily tied him down.
"Squad leader, don't make a fuss! Your wife just had a baby, and your son is still waiting for you at home!"
A young man with a face smeared in blood tearfully roared.
"To Hell with it! Which man doesn't have a family? Who doesn't have concerns? Hurry up and untie me now!"
The squad leader roared, struggling even more fiercely.
Ignoring his shouts, the comrades lifted the stretcher and rushed towards the safe zone.
"You goddamn bastards, if you dare die on the battlefield, I will drill you to death when we get back!"
