Chapter 595 [Demon] vs Human
In fact, many cities possess a certain degree of combat capability and even have atomic bombs.
Because there are many nuclear power plants in various cities, the nuclear fuel inside can be used to make atomic bombs, or at worst, dirty bombs. With technology sharing, it is really not that difficult to make an atomic bomb.
Digdit was worried that after the [Demon] was attacked by a nuclear bomb, it would break free from the control state, which would bring a greater mental burden.
Therefore, it was deliberately sent to take a longer route to avoid the "super fortress" coming from the sky.
The cloud moved extremely fast, reaching 3,000 kilometers per hour, more than five times faster than a human spacecraft! Looking down from the sky, the lush primeval forest, the calm lake, and the wet weeds were like a beautiful painting.
He saw a group of swans flying over the lake. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, their shadows were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
He saw lions, wolves, and deer running, roaring, playing, and hunting in the prairie.
He saw a towering tree that was actually one thousand meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and lush green vines on the trunk.
This is Pangu Continent!
They are silent...
They need no words...
Those eyes that have witnessed the vicissitudes of life are still watching the ebb and flow of the tide and the coming and going of people.
Then his mental state began to seem hazy, and the weak emotions of human beings briefly controlled his brain, causing him to have a subtle sense of guilt.
In the future, many people will surely die.
Countless families were broken up.
The city was reduced to ruins.
Thousands of years of heritage turned into nothingness.
Can you afford it?!
You will become a sinner!!
"No, there is no turning back!!" a voice yelled in my mind.
"Unite? Fight together? Impossible. The project that was supposed to be completed in three years has been delayed for five years! It was only completed under my tremendous pressure."
"I don't know how many lies were committed and how many mistakes were made!"
"Nuclear bombs are really useful?! Floating fortresses are really meaningful?! Even expensive rune shells can really kill it? It can't be killed... it can't be killed!!"
"So, only my plan is effective!"
He suppressed the guilt deep in his heart.
For our future.
You guys, go to hell.
…
…
Strange dark clouds are rapidly approaching the city, bringing with them a cold frost! "Look at the sky!"
"What is that?!"
The people in the slums looked at the gray sky and couldn't help but scream out loudly, each of them was extremely terrified.
The third branch of human civilization actually dug shelters, but it also seemed that they did not.
The civilians hid for a day, and when they found nothing happened, they immediately came out singing and dancing. The government did not stop this behavior... or it could not stop it at all.
The third branch of human civilization has not even built a floating fortress, which is equivalent to muddling through the past five years.
There are several atomic bombs, but no one knows whether they can explode successfully.
The common people, gathered around the fire, shook their bodies, and greeted the first day of their arrival in Pangu Continent with their unique relaxed attitude.
"Enemy attack!!"
When the patrolling soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but panic. Some hurriedly found a house to hide in, while others picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly.
"The monster is coming to our side."
Sporadic artillery fire was fired into the sky.
However, what is strange is that the top management did not respond at all.
"Kill them all!" Digdit's eyes glowed red.
Divine Skill - Absolute Zero! A cold wind blew and the fire went out.
Whether it was a sacred cow or a human being, their souls were blown out and turned into star-like points of light.
Spikes of ice rose from the ground, smashing a large number of frozen corpses into pieces, and more souls remaining in the bodies were squeezed out.
It doesn't take much effort to massacre a city that has little ability to resist.
Especially since the city's top leaders have been completely controlled, the occasional artillery shells fired are like fireworks to add to the fun.
"Mother!"
"Hurry, hide."
The killing speed of [Demon·Frost Mist] is too fast, with large-scale ice attacks that can cover a large area at once.
What shelter, what resistance army, they are all clouds!
In less than half an hour, the city was reduced to ruins.
"Collect the spirits." Digdit stared at the city motionlessly. The light balls like fireflies were gathering rapidly, a mixture of joy, anger, sorrow, fear and confusion.
The lives of millions of people are like grass.
It's said there's no hope.
"At least they didn't die too painfully."
He no longer felt guilty at this moment. The muscles on his face were as tight as a rock, fighting against the biggest opponent in his life: "Collect the spirits and give them to me!"
"Didn't you hear?"
[Demon·Frost Mist] was not very willing, and let out a low growl, resisting continuously.
Digdit stared at the head motionlessly: "Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"
The gap in strength was so great that he started bleeding from all seven orifices, felt dizzy, and was almost unconscious.
This is a one-man battle. He kept repeating to himself: "You must keep a clear mind, otherwise it will get out of control!"
Finally, [Demon·Frost Mist] succumbed.
There are more than 10 million people in a city, but all the souls added together only have more than 100 points of spiritual charm - I have to admit that the quality is really too low.
In fact, this behavior is very wasteful, and the most precious "divine skills" are directly lost.
However, no one cared about this at the moment. When the derailed train was running wildly, no one cared whether precious porcelain was crushed under the wheels.
"Follow my instructions!"
"control!"
After the third time of control, the red light of [Control] lingered in the mind of [Monster].
[Frost Mist] becomes more docile.
But Digdit was surprised to find that it was not enough... still not enough! This was still just a short-term control, not a permanent conquest!
He had to take out the telegraph transmitter from his backpack and make a wireless call: "The third civilization branch has been sacrificed, but the spiritual charm is far from enough!"
"Notify the leaders of the 11th civilization branch that we will arrive soon. Tell them to prepare for the reception and not to resist."
"Yes, sir."
In the past five years, Digdit has controlled quite a few high-level civilizations.
At this moment, he issued the strongest order: when [Demon·Frost Mist] comes, do not resist or fight back!
What's worse, these insiders will create greater chaos in the city and get themselves slaughtered as quickly as possible.
…
…
Another city.
The sun gradually moves to the west, night falls, and the 11 branches of humanity are filled with joy at having obtained the extraordinary fire.
The TV station was broadcasting fake news: "The super fortress built by our city has completely destroyed the enemy and achieved a great victory!"
"The power of the Empire's destructive cannon shocked the entire Pangu Continent! All of humanity is celebrating this great war!"
AI-synthesized photos and videos appeared on the screen—the huge head was smashed into several pieces, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
"Good news, my city has obtained extraordinary fire from other civilizations and is spreading it."
"From today on, everyone will be able to live for a thousand years!"
The gray-haired old man said, "I declare that the army will be on holiday for a month! It's time to take a break."
"Victory?"
"Is this victory?!"
All the city residents were immersed in the ocean of happiness, unable to extricate themselves, and the Internet was full of joy.
…
Then, a terrible darkness fell.
One of them was a tech geek who was watching TV and listening to the inexplicable news. He felt happy but also had a sense of absurdity.
"That [monster] is just so-so. Can it not withstand a hydrogen bomb?"
“We don’t need five years of hard work.”
"I want to travel around Pangaea... and propose."
He suddenly discovered that a particularly cold cloud had appeared on the horizon, blowing out a cold wind, and half of the city was frozen.
Lights disappeared in large areas! Network communications were interrupted, and only the news broadcast was still broadcasting strange good news: "We will send an investigation team to investigate the body of the anomaly. This is the trophy of victory!"
He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, staring in amazement at the increasingly cold wind and the ridiculous "declaration of victory" on TV.
At this moment, he thought that he might be dreaming.
That terrifying enemy seemed to be the [Demon·Frost Mist] that had been advertised all along? Hadn't it been killed by the "Empire's Destroyer Cannon"? "Boom!"
A chill came suddenly.
"Is everything fake? Why?"
At this moment, his pupils dilated and a strong sense of palpitations surged into his heart.
He felt like a fish that accidentally jumped out of the long river of history and saw a subtle truth: the small fish in front of him were all dead, blood was flowing like a river, and even their souls were stripped away.
The little fish at the back was unaware and continued singing and dancing.
Now, the god of death's scythe is about to be swung over his head.
He should do something.
The tech geek sent several electromagnetic waves in all directions: "The [Demon·Frost Mist] is slaughtering our city!"
"It's fake! It's all fake!!"
The next second, his history ended.
The body was frozen, and the soul was completely stripped away by the cold wind, turning into the most basic spiritual charm...
…
…
“Gather all the spirits and give them to me.”
This time, [Demon·Frost Mist] was much more obedient. Its tentacles kept collecting soul fragments like picking cotton.
Digdit injected more energy again.
Not enough, still not enough! [Demon·Frost Mist] is like a bottomless pit. No matter how many people's souls are filled into it, it can never be completely controlled.
It will always break free and return to freedom. Digdit is in a dilemma.
"I have to keep a cool head!"
He thought with a sweat on his forehead that human lives had turned into a string of numbers and the city beneath his feet was a frozen ruin.
[Demon·Frost Mist] could not obtain spiritual energy, so it began to devour corpses frantically, squeezing out the last remaining energy. The "crunching" chewing sound was particularly loud in the cold night sky.
At this moment, the telegraph machine started beeping: "Sir, the super fortress of the 11th civilization has arrived in our city and is asking where the [Monster] has gone?"
Digdit's face changed and he sent a cipher message: "Reply to them, the [Monster] has been injured by us and has fled to a faraway place."
His mind raced, and he was sweating profusely—something bad had happened! "Once these floating fortresses discover that I am controlling the [Demons] to destroy their cities, these soldiers will definitely go crazy and attack Zero Wave City."
"I must fully control it! And then destroy these enemies!"
"Yes, we must [control] it! Once it regains consciousness, everything we have done will be in vain!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He made up his mind once again.
"Since we have already invested in two cities, we will surely succeed if we add a few more cities."
“There is only one way to go.”
The sun gradually moved westward, and he looked at the moon in the sky.
The world is still the same world, but people's hearts have changed many times.
He urged the huge human head under his feet to rush towards the darkness in the distance.
…
…
At this moment, a large number of human cities fell into panic because of a sudden electromagnetic wave signal.
"Who sent the signal? Where did it come from? Where is our floating fortress? Has it been destroyed?"
"Report, the super fortress of Dongjin City has arrived at Lingbo City. It is unscathed and did not participate in the battle."
"According to officials from Zero City, the [Frost Mist] escaped with serious injuries and is dying. They asked their spaceship to guard here to prevent it from making a comeback! The damage to the city was really serious. The entire city was frozen, and there were at least three million casualties."
Three million, this number is enough to scare people to death.
That's three million. How many people are there in a city? "No, wait, this radio signal could be coming from... the 11th branch of human civilization?!"
"Quick, contact them, which city is not online?"
In the radio hall, the staff worked all night, the sound of keyboards "crackling" like a waterfall. Several leaders stood in front of the big screen, sweating all over.
"The third and eleventh civilization branches are indeed not online...but the super fortress has indeed been connected."
When the soldiers in the super fortress heard that their hometown was destroyed, they panicked and their brains turned into a mess and they kept screaming "Baga Baga".
"Please calm down!"
"Impossible! We didn't encounter any enemies along the way!"
"There's no news from the rear, so there will definitely be resistance! It must be fake news!"
These soldiers were panicked and tried their best to refute, but the worst news was that they could not contact the rear.
The leaders of major cities could not help but panic, and mixed in with them was a group of people who were being controlled. These guys were acting in a buffoonish manner, and others could not tell the difference.
"Send back our floating fortress!" A leader of Newyue City said through gritted teeth, "Protecting our own city is the key!"
"Super Fortress, go back to your own city. If you have any news, notify us immediately... If it is really destroyed, we welcome your immigration."
With a leader, the joint army immediately scattered, and the various floating fortresses that had flown halfway changed their direction and returned to their own cities.
It was impossible for the Super Fortress to stay in Zero Wave City and hurried back home.
…
Yunhai City also urgently dispatched its two fortresses back to the city.
As for those cities with low combat effectiveness and no nuclear weapons, they were trembling with fear, fearing that they would become the third city to be slaughtered.
"Save us!"
"Now that the safe zone is open, the crusade has failed and the [monsters] are running around everywhere."
"You great nations...save us!"
The leaders of these small cities were shouting at the top of their lungs on the screen.
But it didn't help.
Now everyone can only take care of their own business.
Perhaps the idea of "humanity uniting" will always be a luxury.
These cities had no choice but to start a mass exodus.
A large number of city residents fled to the suburbs, just like ants moving to the nearby forests. With a small population, the probability of being discovered is indeed reduced.
…
"What the hell, we can't possibly escape into the forest...but what should we do?"
The leaders of Yunhai City were also sweating profusely.
Once the order to flee was given, morale would collapse immediately. Moreover, as a city with a large population of more than 10 million, how could they escape?
Li Chunhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It ate up the people of two cities, and gained so much idealistic energy all at once."
"Perhaps this monster is completely unstoppable. Even if we have some trump cards, we can't defeat it."
"Even worse, our remaining cities are already in disarray, with no hope of uniting again."
"Damn it! I knew this plan was unreliable! There are too many loopholes!"
Everyone cursed.
The only sounds in the entire large room besides the shouting and cursing were the beeping sounds of some machines, and the atmosphere was terribly cold.
"Did it consume the civilization points of these two cities?"
"Not to the extent that... it shouldn't be to the extent that..."
Theoretically, after a civilization dies, its spiritual energy is relatively easy to collect.
But the "civilization points" will slowly dissipate into time and space - without the technology of a third-level civilization, they cannot be collected.
Part of this higher-level idealistic energy will be absorbed by the world will of Pangu Continent, and the other part will be directly lost.
Only the four natural disasters in their mature stages have the ability to devour “civilization points”.
But this is just a theory, no one knows to what stage this [Demon·Frost Mist] has grown.
And the whole thing seemed extremely weird.
With no intelligence at all, the battle situation took a sudden turn for the worse, leaving no room for maneuver.
"Don't be too anxious, it will take a lot of time to extract the civilization points. This is the information provided by Lu Yuan, it is absolutely correct."
Back then, the [Ghost]-level natural disaster consumed the remaining luck of the Blue Peng civilization and took nearly half a night.
"It attacked multiple cities in succession and quickly moved on. It may have only swallowed a little spiritual energy and did not absorb any 'luck' at all!"
"Have all these cities' preparations over the years been in vain?"
"Didn't Zero City injure it? How did it launch a sudden attack and wipe out these cities in an instant?"
These are big questions, and they are incredibly confusing.
"No, everyone, Zero City's explanation was a bit strange to begin with!"
Professor Zhang Hui, a super thinker, stared at the big screen motionlessly, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "Zero Wave City opened the safe zone a few minutes earlier than expected, and fought against this anomaly in advance."
"Under normal circumstances, it will only open later, not earlier!"
"Like Old Delhi, it's a long time late..."
"No matter how disciplined they are, they have to wait until the floating fortresses of their fellow cities arrive before they can open the safe zone, right? What does it mean to open it in advance? Does Zero Wave City really think it can fight a vision alone?"
“I find this quite bizarre.”
Everyone racked their brains to think about it.
Li Chunhong frowned: "Zero Wave City's explanation is that this [monster] has discovered other cities and wants to run over to eat people. So they had to start fighting in advance."
Zhang Hui rolled his eyes and shouted, "But don't you think the risk they take is too great? What level of moral character is this? If we think about it from another perspective...if we encounter such a thing, would we start it in advance?"
Li Chunhong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know... It's really a hard choice! Fighting in advance does have a huge risk, but if we don't fight in advance, won't we all be doomed? It will be even worse if it eats us."
Zhang Hui frowned slightly and exhaled the foul air in his chest.
It seems normal to think this way.
But he always felt that this matter was quite strange.
There are many incomprehensible things happening...
…
The night is dark.
Some cities are spreading drones to detect the movements of [Frost Mist] as quickly as possible.
Various radio communications are maintained at all times.
“Where is its next destination?”
“It has not been found yet.”
…
Having lost the "super fortress" in the rear, the engine ran at full speed, eager to return home, and the flames from the engine tore through the dark skyline.
…
Some cities that had no combat capability began to flee.
The order in these cities is already poor and there is no strong big government.
No matter how tough a leader is, he cannot control the indiscriminate spread of rumors.
The hustle and bustle of the city was slowly replaced by screams and cries, and the streets were filled with panicked crowds, pushing, running, falling, and then getting up to continue running for their lives.
The air was filled with the smell of burning and blood, so pungent that it was suffocating.
Various robberies, thefts, murders, and arson occur from time to time and cannot be stopped.
Even the leaders themselves began to flee - they flew planes and tried to escape to other combat-capable cities.
Human civilization is sometimes fragile.
Even if the powerful enemy has not yet attacked, it has already destroyed itself first.
Even if some people survive the disaster, so what?
Can they still build a new civilization? Can they rise again? It's hard... hard.
History will not promise anything to anyone. Everything in reality can only be done with one's own hands.
During this disaster, some people were living day by day, racking their brains and trying every possible means; some were panicking and behaving inappropriately; and some just wanted to escape, but where could they escape to?
Some people even become gamblers, committing murder under the pretext of doing it "for the sake of all mankind."
But in the end, it's just talking to myself...
