I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1595: Final Mission

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars

The sky was obscured by the dazzling light.

Even the Sun and the countless stars were robbed of their brilliance.

The Celestial Trade Marine soldiers stationed in the spaceport detonated the nuclear fusion generator, and the 20 kg deuterium and helium-3 tanks in reserve were all pushed into the reactor. The heat resistant reactor was vaporized in the next instant by the enormous amount of energy and it engulfed the entire space nuclear power plant, the spaceport, the worm ship that invaded the spaceport, and the civilians and soldiers who were about to be slaughtered… in the halo of nuclear explosion…

The space elevator twisted into an incredible posture, broke into several pieces in the air, and smashed down toward the ground. Not far away, the Svetovid, which had suppressed more than a dozen worm boats at the same time with its firepower, began to emit a bluish light from the warp engines in its back.

“The Svetovid engine has ignited, and they are evacuating!”

The officer in power armor walked into the command room, then performed a military salute

“I see.”

Hong Zewei nodded, glanced at the phone in his hand, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes. However, it was quickly replaced by the perseverance of death.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, abd then opened them again.

“My last command.”

“Fulfill your final mission.”

“Roger!”

The officer stood at attention and saluted. There was no trace of fear in his eyes as he walked out the door.

…

“They’re coming.”

The soldiers crouched in the bunkers in Heavenly Palace City watched the strips of flesh-red splitters in the air as their palms that held their rifles oozed with sweat. Their eyes were either filled with excitement, relief, or calmness. There, however, was no fear.

From the beginning of this war, there was no need to think about survival.

If no one could survive in the end, there was no fear of death.

They were only leaving first.

A large amount of flesh smashed down from the air, and the tentacles were constricted behind the flesh. The shield generator ran at its limit, and the pale-yellow graviton shield surrounded every inch of the entire Heavenly Palace City. Electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns were charged and rocket launchers aimed their missiles at the sky.

The tragic flame exploded in the air and colored the dim glow of the sunset into redness.

The dense firepower did not stop the bugs from landing. Hundreds of mother nests landed on the surface of Mars, as they swallowed the rich carbon dioxide gas, and at the same time released spore gas to erode the entire planet. Anti-aircraft vehicles and electromagnetic guns exploded one after another, as the anti-aircraft firepower points deployed in Heavenly Palace City were focused by the splitters firing Klein particle rays.

The head of the Mutant Countermeasures Department of Heavenly Palace City ordered the shutdown of the ultrasonic fence, as the suppression of Martian creatures such as Devil Worms were lifted. Devil worms swarmed from deep underground to the surface, as they circled the city covered by alloyed floors. They rubbed their bloodthirsty fangs while they began the hunt for living creatures on the surface.

However, even this ancient creature was no match for the powerful mutant soldiers. In the end, their bodies were used as fertilizer for the nest.

“Lock the vent gates! Burn the farm crops!”

“Turn off the gas filtration system and start the liquid oxygen reserve in the armor.”

More than a thousand soldiers were deployed in their respective combat positions. Hong Zewei opened the armory in Heavenly Palace City and handed out the remaining weapons and gas masks to the civilians who were stranded in the city and had not been evacuated and were unwilling to wait for death.

If death was inevitable, then it was better to die on the battlefield than to wait for death.

The Svetovid had left from the synchronous orbit of Mars, with twenty worm ships in close pursuit. The remaining three or four worm ships aimed their main guns at the ground. The Klein particle emission organs on the head began to emit a deep red color.

Obviously, in terms of shield technology, Celestial Trade was only getting started.

The pale-yellow shield did not last for three seconds before it collapsed under the bombardment of the thick and long rays. Crowds of mutant soldiers entered the Heavenly Palace station and exchanged fierce fires with the marines in front of the station.

The battle could be described as one-sided.

It was a rather stupid choice to engage in a ground battle with these bugs.

Their combat effectiveness on land was far greater than their strength displayed in space.

There were giant insects with four legs, that looked like spiders. They fired red Klein particle rays from cannons on their head that was as thick as a forearm. There were also two-legged humanoid soldiers, with a rifle connected to countless dark green pipes that fired acid bullets that could almost melt through rocks.

The largest number of bugs were a group of humanoid soldiers with scales and lizard tails, which were necessary to balance the weight of the armor. Three sharp claws grew on their hands and their heads were triangular. Among Harmony’s soldiers, this type of unit was likely similar to cannon fodder.

However, even the cannon fodder gave the Celestial Trade soldiers a lot of difficulty.

The dark green poisonous spores already surrounded the entire Heavenly Palace City and had penetrated through the corroded pipes. These spores were deadly neurotoxins for other creatures, but for these mutant soldiers, they were the holy light that healed all scars.

A soldier crouched behind cover witnessed a mutant soldier covered with scales had its legs and arms shot off. However, in the next second, the fragmented body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“DAMN IT!”

The soldier cussed out, emptied the magazine of the machine gun. Just as he reached for the ammo box next to him, there was a blade aimed at him that directly penetrated the nano-ceramic breastplate on his kinetic skeleton, then dragged his intestines and bones.

“Kakkaka——”

The four-legged wolf beetle made a strange cry and continued to rush towards the line of defense of the Celestial Trade soldiers. The mutant soldier that rode on its back brandished a hook-like long spear and quickly harvested the life of Marine Corps soldiers behind cover..

Not far away, the Tiger II tank raised the particle cannon, but before it had time to fire, a Klein particle beam turned it into a pile of scrap iron. The soldiers next to it quickly dove to the sides, but they were too slow for the charging wolf beetle cavalry.

Blood began to spread from the station. With the slow advancement dark green mist, along with the pipes that were constantly shattered, the enemy was slowly advancing to the center of the Heavenly Palace City – the colonial center. Hong Zewei watched the swarm of bugs that flooded the city outside the window, let out a sigh, then reached for the pistol in the drawer with his trembling hand.

Although he had expected this ending earlier, when it really was his time, he still felt a little regretful.

There was only one bullet in the magazine.

It was the one he left for himself.

At this moment, the earth underneath him suddenly started to shake.

Hong Zewei lost his balance and almost fell down.

After he regained his balance with the help of the table, he gazed out the window with uncertainty in his eyes. The second he looked in the direction of Mount Olympus, his expression changed several times in almost one second, and finally, he helplessly shook his head.

“I hope your choice is right.”

He muttered these words silently as he continued to raise the muzzle, then he aimed at his temple before he finally pulled the trigger.

Outside the window, the ground quaked and the mountains collapsed.

Perplexed by what happened under their feet, the swarm’s offensive stopped.

Not far away, Mount Olympus.

The largest extinct volcano in the Solar System, at this moment, was spewing out molten hot lava from the inside….
