Crash!
A massive explosion shook the ground as the serpent‑like vessel slammed into the Advanced Barrier System.
The dome of energy shattered, collapsing into nothingness…
"No way…"
"It's destroyed!"
"Careful! Look above!"
The vessel itself was torn apart in the blast as the debris fell everywhere… Nonetheless, the damage was done, New Haven‑45's barrier was gone.
Althea couldn't help but feel really worried now.
Without the barrier, the shelter had no way to stop flying vessels from entering directly. Their arsenal was limited… rifles, pistols, grenade launchers, disruptor field units, and traps. None of these were true anti‑aircraft weapons.
The only hope lay in the plasma rifles carried by their modified Sentinels. Each rifle could fire twelve shots before requiring a long recharge.
They had been saving those charges for emergencies… and this was one.
Augustine's voice rang out…"The worst has come."
From the crimson sky, two more serpent vessels slithered into view.
