It was not just the masters out there, even the ones left in the examination room, the other candidates, only now did they realize that the situation was very bad. The number one spot that everyone wanted to compete for seemed to be gone, especially the recognized 4 Super Geniuses.

Previously, they were completely immersed in resisting the Zerg hordes. They also paid attention to Sebastian, and now seeing the leaderboard, only then did their eyes widen abruptly. They discovered the gap between themselves and Sebastian, it had already exceeded a dozen points. They had to last at least some hours longer than Sebastian to close the gap.

"It's over, haha." Grosser looked at the ranking and yet, he was very happy.

He was already in the top 10, so there was no pressure on his mind. Instead, he was more concerned about other people's ranking.

"Unless some of those Super Geniuses can suddenly take out some shocking trump card, otherwise the battle for the top spot in the State has come to an end." Grosser grinned as he smiled happily, "Hehe, this Sebastian is really good, although he also squeezed me out of the top five, but imagining the expressions on the faces of those geniuses, I'm happier than getting the top five."

[ ===== ]

"No, it can't be, there is still a chance." Inside a room, Gaétan clenched his fists.

He was staring at Sebastian's ranking and thought secretly that it was all as he expected, he managed to squeeze into the top 10. If it was not for Sebastian, he was the biggest dark horse in this test.

It would attract everyone's attention and he would become famous. However, Sebastian appeared.

"There are many points needed to gain, but as long as I get the perfect score in the Endless Mode, that will create an outstanding record. With the same score, I will also be the top student in this test." Gaétan's eyes flashed with a trace of madness.

But he forgot a very important point, this was possible only if Sebastian was eliminated before the next hour. The power of the Soldiers, initially, had also been recognized by many.

It was not just Gaétan, the other candidates, none of them had given up. On the contrary, there was an astonishing fighting spirit. Especially those Super Geniuses who were acknowledged as the most popular for the top position. Each one's eyes were shining brightly, they did not think that they would lose.

The next hour had officially arrived. From the passage entrance, a potent aura appeared, and another new batch of Zergs appeared from all sides, land, air, and underground. The most conspicuous was in the sky.

Large flying Zergs with a body size of more than 10 meters flew up. These large flying Zergs were not fast but they were able to fly very high. The front of their body was small while the stomach at the back occupied more than 80% of their total size. This big flying Zerg looks like a small spaceship.

TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...

These big Zergs were the first to attack. As their tail moved slightly, unidentified round objects came out from the tail. The exterior looked grayish green.

"Lookout, put your shields up." Cross immediately ordered.

There was no need for Cross to order, everyone had their shields covered above their heads. In addition, the logistics staff also brought emergency large shields. As this shield could easily obstruct the line of sight, it was useless before but was also in use now.

These round unidentified objects were falling fast.

DANG-!, DANG-!, DANG-!, DANG...

On shields and the walls, there was a crisp and clear sound. Subsequently…

BOOM-!

Suddenly, it exploded. The gray-green liquid exploded and splashed away in all directions. The walls and shields were covered up and the clothes of many Guardsmen were also contaminated.

Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi-!, Chi...

As soon as the liquid touched the clothes and walls, they started to corrode. But the Astra Militarum has already experienced it, so they immediately threw away the items that were stained by the liquid.

It didn't cause much damage, but everyone's face was not so good-looking. Compared to the previous Zergs, it was more than just a corrosive effect, it even had the power of a small cannon.

Swish-!, Swish-!, Swish-!, Swish...

With the growing number of Overlord in the sky, the corrosive balls that were sent out also increased.

There was not much that the Astra Militarum could do. These Zerg's position was too high, except for the sniper rifles. No weapon could hit accurately and the lethality of sniper rifles was limited as these Overlords couldn't be fixed with one or two bullets. Luckily there were still plenty of shields.

The Supernaturals on the other candidate planets were miserable. After being attacked by the corrosive ball, they blasted to pieces. Subsequently, they were also being doused by the corrosive balls.

However, this was only an attack from the sky. On the ground, another super-sized Zerg had appeared and its body length this time was more than 60 meters. Its shape was like a big truck.

Along with the rumbling sound of the ground, it was rushing swiftly towards the wall. Its speed was similar to that of a truck traveling at high speed. Its exterior had a layer of gray-green armor.

Clang-!, Clang-!, Clang-!, Clang...

Shells and Bullets blasted into its armor, but it only made a sound like hitting steel.

Beyond the Stank, an old acquainted, the Lurker, evolved again. It became bigger and heightened agility. These Lurkers did not march forward on their own, surprisingly, they climbed on the Stank and got in.

"Huh? It can carry other Zergs?" Seeing this scene, Sebastian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

But the faces of the Astra Militarum were getting more and more solemn. These Stank Zergs were faster as compared to all the big Zergs before, its defense was also stronger. Even if the shell hit the body, it didn't hurt them much.

The accuracy of the shells was a big problem. Although it was more powerful than the M.G., it was impossible to make several shells fall in the same location.

The most important thing right now was interfering with the Stank and slowing down the march of these Zerg within two kilometers. That was where the machine gun kicked in!

TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...

Cross once again relocated another 20 M.Gs and large-caliber bullets were strafing everywhere. With so many M.G.s at the same time, there would be no need to turn. The bullets just kept flying toward the front.

On the same Stank Zerg, there were hundreds of large-caliber bullets hitting its head and it was hitting on the same spot. The Stank Zerg was very tough, but after traveling a few dozen more meters, the first one went down with a bang, and the evolved Lucker on its body quickly crawled out.

Seeing this, the crowd breathed a small sigh of relief. Luckily, the Stank Zerg could still be dealt with by the M.G.

Rumble-!

At this time, there was also a movement coming from under the ground, a new Underground Zerg appeared.

Fleming group was doing defensive work because of several underground Zergs. The underground tunnels were almost full of holes, there was not a single clod of soil intact.

In the dark underground passage, a black orb suddenly scampered out. After coming to a wider ground, this orb came to a halt. After that, it quickly opened up and revealed its true appearance. This was an extremely sinister-looking Zerg with long and sharp tentacles.

After seeing the crowd of the Astra Militarum, this digger Zerg once again shrank its body, wrapping itself up, it turned into a big ball again. The Infestor rolled over and it was very fast.

The M.G. was firing wildly.

Clang-!, Clang-!, Clang-!, Clang...

Hitting this ball made a metal-like sound.

Unlike aboveground, the passage underground was too short, even the M.G. hadn't been in play for long, and the Infestor had already rolled over.

"Retreat-!" Fleming ordered immediately.

The Guardsmen hurriedly abandoned the Machine Guns and left the tunnel, then a thick wall fell with a booming sound. It was blocking the passage. This gate was also made of strong alloy, so it was very difficult to break, but it was just an opening in the tunnel.

With so many surfaces, there was always a way for the Zerg to get out. The Astra Militarum did not intend to use the gates for complete defense until the last resort, which would be the same as sealing off the gates, depriving themselves of the offensive initiative.

Fleming turned his head, and a few scientists in the back looked at each other. They all saw the thoughts in each other's eyes, this Zerg was capable of transforming into a ball, the armor of these Zerg was as hard as steel.

The M.G. or Grenade could no longer deal with them, so they could only use another weapon.

Ding-!, Ding-!, Ding-!, Ding...

This was the sound of the Zerg hitting the gates.

Rumble-!, Rumble-!, Rumble-!, Rumble...

Immediately after that, these Zergs crawled over from the other end of the tunnel. In addition to hitting the gates, some chose to find a way to drill out from elsewhere.

"We can't let them get to the ground beneath the walls." Fleming knew the seriousness of the matter.

If they let these Infestors get too close, the people on the walls would feel increased pressure.

"Let's use the poison gas." Fleming made a decision.

Poison Gas was a very risky weapon developed by a research team by chance. At the time of the first test, the surrounding animals and plants died out. There were also irreversible consequences, therefore Elizabeth personally ordered this dreadful weapon to be sealed away.

Although its lethality was fearsome, it couldn't be used on a large scale, so it couldn't be regarded as a conventional weapon. It was only for specific occasions or special enemies. The perfect place for its use was underground as poison gas would not leak out easily.

"Notify the General that we will use poison gas and get everyone ready." Fleming gave consecutive orders.

Soon, Cross got the news.

"Attention everyone, put on your protective masks now. Commander Fleming will use the poison gas attack." Cross ordered.
