The army's deployment was powerful, but the problem was that the artillery wouldn't necessarily kill the monster instantly. Furthermore, the monster would flee, and if it escaped the bombing range or retreated into the underground palace, the artillery would be useless.
Thirty kilometers. In this vast desert, Lu Chengchuan used all his strength to perform the shrinking technique. Without considering the consumption of internal energy, he could run thirty kilometers in one minute.
The monster is not as fast as him, but it can easily run out of the bombing area. Once there is no artillery support, ordinary soldiers can only be slaughtered by it at will.
Hearing him say this, Lin Ming was a little skeptical, so he asked, "How long will it take you to escape from the strike center?"
"It only takes one second, and no one can stop me."
Lu Chengchuan stretched out a finger. There were no obstacles in the desert. It only took more than 500 meters to run from the center. For him, it only took two steps to run out of the bombing range.
"Are you really not kidding me?" Lin Ming asked back, looking at his finger.
If they could really run out of the bombing zone in one second, why would they need to deploy artillery? Their biggest advantage would be gone.
"I'm not kidding you here. If you don't believe me, I can show you."
In order to convince the other party, Lu Chengchuan can show how fast he is and see if he can run out of the bombing area in one second.
"Then let's go, let me see how fast you can run!" Lin Ming said nothing and immediately went out to verify the authenticity.
Everyone wanted to see, so no one came out to stop them. Everyone put down what they were holding and walked out.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had not yet set in the northern desert. They came to an open area, and Lin Ming asked the soldiers to plant a flag five hundred meters away.
"If I tell you to start running, I'll believe you if you can get to the flag in two seconds, not just one."
Lin Ming took out a stopwatch to start timing, and asked Lu Chengchuan to get ready.
"Okay."
Lu Chengchuan took a look ahead and immediately said that he was ready.
Lin Ming took the stopwatch and looked at him: "Start..."
Just as he finished saying the word "start," Lu Chengchuan's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight. Lin Ming was stunned for a moment, not even pressing the timer. After coming to his senses, Lin Ming turned around and found Lu Chengchuan standing under the flag.
"When will he come..."
Lin Ming was stunned. He glanced at the stopwatch. He hadn't pressed the stop button, so he had no idea how much time had passed. But he knew it hadn't been very long, perhaps not even a second.
"Just now, he just appeared."
The people around him didn't understand either. Their eyes blurred and Lu Chengchuan disappeared from where he was, and then stood under the flag. They had no time to react.
Lin Ming stared blankly at the front. He was old and his eyesight was a little poor, but the person holding the flag was Lu Chengchuan.
Lu Chengchuan slowly raised one hand, and then Lin Ming felt the earth shrinking, and Lu Chengchuan stood in front of him again in an instant.
"Commander Lin, I hope you know that for me, this distance of several hundred meters really only takes one second." Lu Chengchuan said softly as he stood in front of him.
Except for Zhou Yaning, Lin Jing and others, the rest of the people were so surprised that their eyes widened.
“How should we arrange…”
Seeing the person five hundred meters away appear in front of him in an instant, Lin Ming also knew that what Lu Chengchuan said just now was true. He could really leave the bombing area quickly.
"Let the soldiers retreat. When the monsters appear, bomb them first. I will hold off the monster leader."
Lu Chengchuan could only ask them to retreat, which would reduce their casualties.
"Staff Officer Huang, notify the front line immediately and ask them to move the defense line back two kilometers." Lin Ming did not hesitate and immediately asked the staff officer to convey the order.
After Lu Chengchuan's display, Lin Ming, Huang Hengyong and others were certain that this guy was a real master. The most powerful psychic in their army was like a child in front of him.
As the defense line moves backward, the surveillance camp must also move with it.
After the order was given, the soldiers began to dismantle the tents, and after a few hours, the camp moved back several kilometers.
While they were preparing, there was nothing unusual about the triangular tower, so Lu Chengchuan and a few others stayed behind to guard it.
"You scared them today. You are not usually so proactive." Zhou Yaning also stayed. Recalling the scene a few hours ago, she was still very surprised.
"If I don't do this, will they believe me?"
Lu Chengchuan was also helpless. No matter what time, no matter how well you speak or how beautifully you say it, you must take concrete actions to make people believe you completely.
"Tell me, does this thing originally exist here, or does it come from another world?"
The triangular tower didn't look like something from the ancient Shenghua Kingdom. She was more convinced it came from another world. Like those monsters, the triangular tower might have been sent here by an unknown force.
"It's hard to say. I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened now."
He didn't care whether the triangle tower was a local product or not. He just wanted to kill the corpse demon inside. That guy was so strong, so he must have a long lifespan.
At night, the army almost completely evacuated, and Lin Ming left behind a company of soldiers to help them.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yaning went to deal with other things, and Lu Chengchuan wandered around here alone.
As they were walking, several soldiers came over. When they saw Lu Chengchuan, they immediately stopped and saluted, shouting "Sir!"
Lu Chengchuan raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, sir."
The soldier nodded and shouted again.
"I'm not your superior...haha." Lu Chengchuan laughed. He didn't expect that someone would call him superior. It was not only uncommon, but he had never seen it before.
The soldiers were confused, and before they could ask further, Lu Chengchuan left, leaving the confused soldiers scratching their heads.
Lu Chengchuan walked to the bottom of the triangular tower and looked up at the sky. This place was far away from the city and there was no obstruction from various exhaust gases. He could easily see the stars in the sky.
Late at night, most people were resting, and some soldiers were patrolling back and forth.
After a few days, the triangular tower, which had been silent for a long time, began to behave abnormally. A wisp of conspicuous black gas drifted out from the inside of the triangular tower and soon enveloped the tower.
"Hurry up, go to the designated location and gather. If the monsters appear, evacuate immediately."
Zhou Yaning called the company commander and asked them to leave here quickly. If they waited until the monsters came out, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
The company commander quickly gathered the soldiers and everyone got busy. Zhou Yaning looked everywhere for Lu Chengchuan.
She looked left and right but saw no one. In a hurry, she walked towards the triangular tower.
After walking about ten meters, Lu Chengchuan suddenly rushed out from the black fog. Seeing that the people had come out safely, Zhou Yaning stopped and waited until the people came to him.
"Is the monster coming out?"
"Maybe. You guys leave first, I'll watch here." Regardless of whether a monster was about to come out or not, Lu Chengchuan still asked them to leave first.
"Okay, be careful."
With that, Zhou Yaning led his men away first, while Lu Chengchuan stayed where he was and looked around. The black fog enveloped the triangular tower but did not spread to the surrounding areas.
