Chapter 276: Invasion of the Starlight Building
I don't know when the sound of fighting died down.
Someone shouted sadly in the headset: "They killed the captain, killed Vic, why didn't you resist! Damn it! You are a bunch of cowards!"
Then Vic's voice rang out from the headset: "Uh, I'm still alive. Those who are still alive, answer me. I'll take a head count. I don't think Wei Huan is here to kill anyone. He's just here to seek justice."
"He killed Mr. Hodgson on our soil."
"But Hodgson also wronged our heroes on our own soil. Have you forgotten General Jacques?"
“…”
There was a long silence, and finally Vic said, "It seems that everyone is still alive except the captain."
"He's not an executioner. He's just here to seek justice for General Jacques. I don't know why you're so upset. Is it just because he took action? Hey, brothers, think about it. He even destroyed countless territories of the Dark Beast Clan. At least we're all still alive, right?"
Fighting hard is a belief, but when the belief is gone, instinct will make people realize that "being alive" is better.
There is no need to avenge old Hodgson anymore, that is another price. Moreover, when facing Wei Huan, apart from that little moral bottom line, few people can have the absolute desire to kill him.
He has given so much to mankind, and everyone is his beneficiary. Even if they have different positions, deep down, everyone admires and respects him.
The idea of fighting to the death disappeared quickly, so Wei Huan felt almost no resistance and completely controlled the situation.
But the war is clearly not over.
Iron Heart suddenly issued a warning.
A virtual map marked in red popped up in front of him, showing a map of the territory of Osham, and at the same time, virtual missile signs appeared from two directions, one from the Starlight Building in the center of Peanut City, and one from the coastal defense line of Missy City.
Two light nuclear weapons and their movement routes were clearly marked, and the explosion point was exactly where he was.
Osam took action.
When he killed old Hodgson, he obviously also angered the senior management of Osham. Compared with the common people and these desperate grassroots guards, it was obvious that the senior management really hated and feared Wei Huan.
If Wei Huan could kill Old Hodgson at will, wouldn't his own life be in his own hands? Rather than lingering in fear of every day to come, it would be better to take advantage of the current situation when his anger is at its peak and his position is right to use his strongest weapon to strike Wei Huan.
What if it succeeds?
Anyway, Wei Huan has already crippled the Dark Beast King Clan and increased the overall strength of the human race to the point of surpassing the Dark Beast Clan. It doesn't really matter whether Wei Huan is with him in the remaining journey to challenge the world. Since he dared to kill old Hodgson openly on the land of Osham, it might be me who will be the next one.
People who are used to controlling power cannot imagine a day when there is a supreme power above them.
Dark thoughts and fear erupted together, and taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the two bases simultaneously received orders to open fire from their superiors.
Just as Wei Huan's undead spirit was spreading in Peanut City, four missiles that had joined the challenge of technology had already flown over Peanut City.
Once the missile successfully explodes upon landing, the population of Peanut City will drop by one-fifth, and the land will be permanently left with irremediable pollution.
But the common people on the street were unaware of what was happening. The ghost of General Wei, who was supposed to be attending the investiture ceremony in Daxia, appeared before their eyes. The overwhelming joy, like having won a million-dollar lottery ticket, made them completely oblivious to the artillery shells flying overhead.
"Oh my god! It's so cool!"
"What moves do I need to become a necromancer? This profession is amazing!"
"These undead are much larger than imagined."
"By the way, why is Wei Huan in Osham?"
Why was Wei Huan in Osham, rather than in Daxia for his investiture ceremony? Why did he leave the streets littered with the dead?
These questions piled up like a mountain. Amidst the excitement and noise, and various live broadcasts, someone finally discovered a clue.
"Look, what is that?" someone shouted, pointing to the sky.
The people who were reminded looked up and saw the shocking scene in the sky. Some people even raised their mobile phones to capture the entire scene.
The swarms of two-headed hidden golems were like two bullets fired from a gun, flying in two different directions.
Right in front of them, there was a flashing white light. After staring at it for a long time, it felt like they were reflected by a mirror, and it was so bright that they could hardly open their eyes.
Only when it got closer could I vaguely see that it looked like an airplane, or some shuttle-shaped object, falling from the sky with a flash of fire.
But before the common people realized what that thing really was, they were stopped in mid-air by the two-headed hidden demon.
The swarms of two-headed hidden demons are different from the artillery shells of the defense network. Their purpose is not to detonate the bombs in mid-air, because they are stronger and more flexible and maneuverable, and are not afraid of the impact and temperature of the artillery shells at all.
He flew to the side of the missile at a speed that was not inferior to the missile, hugged the missile, and exerted force with his body to shake the missile's trajectory.
One after another, the two-headed hidden demons were not afraid of death. They avoided the warhead and hugged the shell. The speed of the shell was getting slower and slower. The direction of the warhead had unknowingly moved away from the original target and finally even stopped in mid-air.
"Are those missiles they're holding?"
"Oh my god, a missile just flew over my head. I almost got blown to death, didn't I?"
"Could this be the reason why Wei Huan appeared here, and why the undead appeared here? Was it Wei Huan who saved me?"
"Damn it, looking at the height and the size of the shell, I can swear on my family's lives that my country just launched a missile to kill me, and it was Wei Huan who saved me. My hero, you're finally here!!"
Soon, these voices spread to everyone in Peanut City who witnessed the scene, and even spread to the Internet.
As for why Wei Huan appeared in Peanut City at this time and spread the undead all over the city, no one mentioned it at all, and such voices completely disappeared on the Internet.
Mu Zhong touched the "Heart of Steel" floating on his shoulder, smiled and sat cross-legged next to Wei Huan, watching the camera at the door of one of the kitchen offices.
The camera couldn't see what was happening in the office, but the sound came from inside.
"What was intercepted? Where's our challenger? Is he dead? We're allowing a foreigner to act so arrogantly over our heads!"
“…”
"Peace talks? If he was here to negotiate, he wouldn't have killed Hodgson the first time they met. He's declaring war, a declaration of war!"
“…”
"His greatness has nothing to do with us, Osham, and even less to do with me! In the past, we, Osham, have never been absent from the front lines against the Dark Beasts! At the very beginning of the advent of the Challenge World, it was we, Osham, who took up the banner of resistance! If we hadn't suffered heavy losses in the opening battle of the Level 4 World, Daxia wouldn't have had the chance to rise, and Wei Huan wouldn't have existed! Why should we let him recount the past? We, Osham, have never let down our people, the people of Blue Star!"
“…”
"Okay, I get it. I've calmed down, but this battle has to be fought. If our soldiers are afraid, what will they think of us? What will the people of Osham say about us? Even if we lose, I have to tell them that Osham is not someone to be trifled with!"
When Mu Zhong heard this, he looked at Wei Huan.
Wei Huan is manipulating the undead army to spread out in all directions to fight against the Osham challengers coming from all directions.
He didn't want him to be distracted, so after thinking for a moment, he tapped the "Heart of Steel" and said, "Paralyze the Starlight Building."
Wei Huan heard the voice and turned to look at him.
Mu Zhong said: "They can't make a choice, we help them make the choice. Old Hodgson is dead, no one can stop Jacques from leaving. The Xu family father and son should pay the price for their treasonous behavior."
Wei Huan nodded. He agreed with Mu Zhong's words. This was also the reason why he had not started a killing spree until now.
The human race is not just the people of Daxia, but everyone living on this blue planet. They are just trying hard to survive in this trend. They should not "pay the price" for the wrong decisions made by those in power, nor should they pay with their lives for it.
Perhaps, from Osam's point of view, they did nothing wrong. Wei Huan was barbaric and domineering. He tried to reshuffle the Blue Star with blood and force other countries to submit with force. He was extremely arrogant.
But that was just the idea of the top leaders. The real common people all hoped that Wei Huan could continue to be powerful, lead the human race to fight against the Dark Beast Lord, and lead mankind to the highest level of evolution.
The times have long since changed. The battles between the Blue Star countries have long since turned into a united front against the outside world. They have a common enemy.
And the leader has appeared, hasn't he?
A man who was trusted by all of Blue Star was already standing here. Why would he oppose? Why would he confront? Why would he deliberately disgust the other person just to maintain his power?
No matter who is the leader of Osham, we just want to know whether Osham can follow the main force in this transformation that all mankind participates in? Can it avoid being ruined by you bunch of fat-bellied old immortals?
So please stop fighting against Wei Huan!!
Therefore, when the eerie and terrifying undead army appeared on the streets, the people of Osham were as happy as if they had seen their loved ones and idols.
When they saw the undead intercepting the missile in the sky, they would only thank Wei Huan for his action, and then be shocked at Wei Huan's strength and the strength of mankind.
Although it is said that after the Challenger evolves, it is no longer afraid of missiles, but no one knows to what extent it will evolve before it is no longer afraid.
Now we finally have a concrete concept.
At least, when the human challenger becomes strong enough, it will be impossible for a missile to hit him, and there are too many ways to avoid the missile explosion.
Damn it!
They knew that they couldn't kill Wei Huan, but they still threw missiles into the city. Aren't these people human beings?
In order to kill one person, they wanted to sacrifice so many lives. Some of them were young girls, some were ignorant children, and they died at the hands of those executioners.
Fortunately, there is Wei Huan.
Fortunately, he prevented all tragedies from happening.
"Hello? Hello?" A strong man from Osham wearing camouflage military uniform fell from the sky. When he stood up, he was removing the feathers from his skin, restoring his body surface to its smooth skin.
His sudden appearance startled the ordinary people on the street who were trying to get close to the undead and take photos with them, but he paid no attention to them. Instead, he tapped his tactical headset in confusion and spoke again, "Hello? Is anyone speaking? I've arrived at the mission location. Please direct my next steps."
No one spoke in the headphones, it was dead silent.
The burly man had realized something. He stood there with a frown, feeling a little helpless for a moment.
Looking at the harmonious scene between the undead and the common people, and the vigilant gazes of the old women in front of her, one of them even said, "Are you from the Challenge Army? Are you going to attack these lovely undead? I will never allow it! They drove away the Dark Beast Lord, but you only care about fighting among yourselves! Damn politician and his knife!"
The burly man said nothing in the face of the accusation, but silently retreated to a less conspicuous place, and raised his hand again to press the headset to confirm the signal.
At this moment, the elderly women on the street suddenly shouted excitedly, "Oh! General Wolf is here! I know him! He's the leader of the Running Wolf Army! So handsome!"
The sturdy man leaned over to take a look and saw the majestic undead. He thought for a moment, took out his cell phone from his clothes, and took a photo of himself and the armored skeleton wolf that was passing by.
When he put away his phone, he saw several ghost crows and face huggers surrounding him at some point. In fact, with his ability, he could easily kill these undead, but in the end, he raised his hands and gave up resisting.
The undead did not attack him, but just surrounded him calmly. He slowly lowered his hand, and the undead did not make any movement. Instead, the excited shouts of the old women behind him rang out again.
The strong man thought about it, took out his mobile phone again, squatted on the ground, and took a photo of himself and the facehugger. Looking at the smile on his face in the photo, he thought he had determined his future direction.
Of course, there are also more radical challengers who, even if there is no signal in the tactical headset, still launch attacks on the undead after arriving at the destination.
The originally peaceful and friendly undead, as if a program had been activated, immediately displayed their horrific scene.
There is no need for overly complicated means. Just three or five two-headed hidden demons are enough to deal with most of the Osham challengers. Besides, Wei Huan can deal with more than one kind of undead.
Soon some of them were caught in the net or hugged by the facehugger. If they met a fight to the death, they would resist and never surrender. The undead had no idea of "mercy". Once the number of undead deaths in this area was too high and it was determined that the human was very dangerous, they would kill him directly!
However, such occasional bloody scenes still did not arouse resistance or anger from the people of Peanut City.
Because they are protected by the undead.
That's right! Those challengers from the officialdom, as soon as they appeared, were ready to slaughter everyone, regardless of whether their abilities were lethal to ordinary people. They attacked indiscriminately like a killing machine.
Some of the people who were unable to escape in time were injured.
Excitement turned into screams. Unable to escape, they looked at the battlefield so close to them, despair in their eyes.
But at this moment, the hideous undead came to protect them. It might be a facehugger with a terrifying crack under its abdomen, or a two-headed hidden demon zombie that could not hide its stench no matter how it evolved, or a Shuroma galloping by, like a dark horse prince descending from the sky, who picked up their princess and carried her away from the battlefield.
The person being protected was still in shock, looking at the hideous undead in front of him, and then he realized that he was in love.
Compared to those challengers who attacked civilians and were supported by their taxes, it was these hideous undead who protected them in the end.
So what's there to hesitate about? Judging by their treatment of civilians, this country is long overdue for a change!
Relying on its powerful strength and endless numbers, the undead army quickly regained control of the entire situation.
Peanut City calmed down again. The people looked up at the huge spaceship-like earth monster floating in the sky. Although they couldn't see the people on its back, they knew that they would not be harmed and relaxed again.
But some people were extremely nervous.
For example, the group of people including Chief Osham who were rushing to the safe house were looking at the puppy-headed man standing at the door of the safe house, with his hands hooked and a sly smile on his face, although the dog was only the size of a palm.
Everyone was facing a formidable enemy, with beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads.
Wei Huan effortlessly paralyzed the communication and power equipment of the Starlight Building, causing them to lose contact with the outside world in an instant and become an isolated island.
Deep underground in the Starlight Building, there is a safe house with its own power supply and internet connection. The door even needs to be closed manually. It is also the last barrier for the upper echelons of Osham.
They rushed to the safe house quickly enough, and after confirming the danger, they immediately transferred the important leaders of the building.
But no one expected that their opponents arrived here even faster.
Looking at the little dog-headed man in front of them with an extremely obscene smile, no one doubted its lethality.
They could kill it, it was as fragile as an ordinary rat, but before they killed it, anything could come out of its mouth.
It could be a two-headed hidden demon, or it could be the earth-blooded beast that is so huge that it can pierce the sky, or of course it could be Wei Huan himself.
In short, when this little dog-headed man stood here, it didn't need to do anything to achieve the purpose of deterrence.
Kill it?
What awaits us is probably the Netherfire bomb, which will flatten this place in an instant, just like the bombing of the Dark Beast King's territory.
It is impossible to ignore it because it is already here and has been waiting here for a long time.
In the end, all that was left was negotiation.
Chief Osham looked at the dog-headed man, and when his back gradually became wet, he finally calmed down from his anger.
The supreme leader of Osham showed a helpless expression of weakness and submission to the little kobold, and then said, "Just tell me what you want. I will help you fulfill any request."
"Chief!" someone shouted excitedly from behind, "Please do not compromise! You are the leader elected by the people of Osham! Osham is a free nation and will never bow down!!"
The chief of Osham's mouth twitched twice at the shouting. Although he did not turn around, he had already remembered the person who spoke.
How did such a clueless young man with such low EQ end up working for me? How about giving you the position of clan leader and seeing what you would say when a gun is pointed at your head?
Besides, wasn't he clear about Wei Huan's real intention in coming here? They had crossed the line first. That old man, Hodgson, had been conspiring with the Senate to oppose Daxia. Even though he pretended to be quiet on the surface, who didn't know what he was really thinking?
If he didn't want to gain greater power in this major reshuffle of power, he would not have arranged for Wei Jinhong to return to Daxia, would not have stopped Jacques' beacon, and would not have protected the Xu family father and son.
All of these things cannot be contained in one sentence because of old Hodgson's ambition. It is this old guy who has dragged down Osam. Otherwise, according to his thinking, making friends with Daxia and Wei Huan will only benefit him, so why has it come to this point today?
For a moment, all the "afterthoughts" broke out at this time, and the firepower was directed at the guy who jumped out at this time to seek attention.
"Okay, let's stop here. I am still the chief, and I will make the decision. You can leave now." Chief Osam suppressed his anger and signaled his confidants to drive this guy away.
Then he looked at the wretched little dog again and said awkwardly, "Do you need Jacques' beacon? In fact, I have already infiltrated the Hodgson family and found out where they hid General Jacques' beacon. I can arrange for action immediately."
In addition, I have arranged people to keep an eye on the Xu family and Gong Group. Osam and his men can't escape from here.
Would you like to have a glass of wine? We can talk slowly. You are a hero of mankind. The people I respect most in my life are heroes. You saved humanity."
As he spoke later, the great chief of Osham had completely given up his pride, and his flattery became more and more fluent.
But no matter what he said, the little dog man standing at the door remained unmoved, but fortunately it did not spit out any undead, and just stood there quietly.
The chief of Osham could only frown and stand there quietly and awkwardly.
Only then did the special agents who stayed behind to guard the rear hurried over.
After the communication became unusable, the group ran all the way down, but saw their leader standing at the door of the safe house.
He couldn't care less and said breathlessly, "The undead have surrounded the Starlight Building. They haven't been able to break in, and our people can't get out. Our communications have been silent. Our situation is very dangerous. Why are you still here?"
The patriarch took one last look at the dog-headed dog standing blankly at the door, sighed helplessly in his heart, and turned around and said, "Go back. General Wei is here to cooperate. We are the ones making a fuss. Let's all return to our jobs."
"But……"
It was not until the patriarch led his men back that the special agents who hurried over saw the little dog man standing at the door of the safe house.
Cold sweat instantly flowed down my neck.
Unknowingly, Wei Huan's undead had infiltrated to this extent. As security personnel guarding the building, they were as weak as children in front of these omnipresent undead.
