Chapter 597: Human cities, destroyed by disaster
At two o'clock in the morning, [Demon·Frost Mist] arrived near the city of Bari.
The dark clouds rolled in, the cold air was oppressive, and it carried a terrible murderous intent.
The sound of the air raid sirens pierced the night sky.
“Woo——”
Just like the First World War and the Second World War in the history of the Earth, both originated in the European continent.
At this moment, in the ninth era of Pangu Continent, a similar joke was played, as if the cycle of history would be replicated in Pangu Continent.
"No, this time, everything is different."
"We are the winners!" Digdit said in his heart.
"And you will be completely destroyed!"
…
The city of Bari was also brightly lit, and the sentinels released all their control drones to scout the areas around the city.
"It's coming! Oh my God! It's really coming!"
"Surrender! Leader, we obey your will!!"
When seeing the terrible black fog approaching, even the most experienced soldiers couldn't help but panic.
They cried and wailed, and a large number of troops began to raise white flags and surrender - these soldiers had never experienced the cruel war, so where did they get the will to fight? ...
Meanwhile, in the city, at the Eglise Palace, a political turmoil was taking place.
The news of the "control" intensified the panic among the people, and the middle-level officers were rebelling in order to save their lives.
But the launch button of nuclear weapons is controlled by the upper level, and such procedural things are difficult to change immediately.
This magnificent palace, which looked like a museum, had come to an end.
"The President ran away with the nuclear launch code box!"
"Shoot him!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
As the supernatural fire has become popular, everyone's movements are as agile as a cheetah. The president holding the box is no exception. Although he was shot twice and blood splattered, his running speed did not slow down at all.
"Quick! What is he going to do? He escaped into the secret room!"
Inside the palace, there is a secret passage leading underground, called the "Cupid Command Room", which is protected by double armored doors and 3-meter-thick concrete walls, making it almost indestructible.
Then, under the desperate gaze of everyone, the earth began to shake.
A blue light flashed.
The hydrogen bomb located in the nuclear bomb launch silo suddenly exploded!
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, a dazzling white light burst out from the center of the explosion, a huge fireball rose from the ground, its diameter rapidly expanded, like a burning star descending to the earth.
The hydrogen bomb destroyed the city.
…
"How...how could this happen?!" At the moment of the explosion, communication between cities had not been interrupted, and the scene lasted for 0.1 seconds.
The rest of the cities saw at the same time a nuclear fireball rising from the ground.
Zhang Hui, Li Chunhong and others were so frightened that they had no idea what was going on.
A hydrogen bomb exploded in the city? !
…
The shock wave generated by the explosion spread in all directions at supersonic speed, and the earth trembled wherever it went.
Buildings were shredded like paper, trees were uprooted, and the ground was tossed with layers of earth. The strong wind brought by the shock wave whistled past, blowing up dust and debris, as if a destructive storm swept everything.
As the fireball rose, a huge mushroom cloud slowly formed and rose into the sky. The top of the mushroom cloud kept rolling and spreading, as if a giant hand reached out to the sky and blocked the moon.
At this moment, [Demon·Frost Mist] is just one hundred kilometers away from the city. No matter how powerful the hydrogen bomb is, it is difficult to affect the [Demon] one hundred kilometers away.
The clouds were filled with radioactive dust and burning debris, and the hot wind blew on the face, bringing a stinging sensation.
Digdit was also a little puzzled as to why the hydrogen bomb suddenly exploded.
"what happened?"
"Report to the commander, the existence of the driver seems to have been exposed! Yunhai City has announced this news to all cities!" A telegram message came from Lingbo City in the rear.
"Yunhai City... Damn it!" Digdit's eyes turned red and he wanted to destroy Yunhai City.
I thought about it for a few seconds.
He then realized that those who were being controlled might be carrying out orders.
The instructions he issued were simple: [I need a large number of souls to control this [monster], and it may require the sacrifice of a city. You must do everything you can to achieve this goal while ensuring my personal safety! ]
"After those who controlled the system were exposed, a military coup took place at the middle and grassroots levels below."
"They were fighting over ownership of the hydrogen bomb."
"When the top leaders discovered my arrival, they simply detonated hydrogen bombs. If these hydrogen bombs were really launched, the [Demon] might be able to resist, but I would die... This should be it."
After all, he was only a third-level master. Even if [Demon·Frost Mist] used various tentacles to create a room and protect him, it was still difficult to resist the radiation of the hydrogen bomb.
As I was thinking this, a sticky liquid flowed out from my nasal cavity.
He found himself bleeding from the nose.
"Oh no, it could be nuclear radiation!"
He was actually wearing protective clothing, but it could only block X-ray radiation. The penetrating power of neutron radiation was too strong and it was difficult to completely block it.
I used the power of the extraordinary fire to check my physical condition and felt slightly relieved.
"This time the explosion is farther away. I will definitely be able to make it through."
He saw the "spirits" in the city, dotted like stars, dissipating.
“It can’t be wasted.”
"Exterminate the survivors as quickly as possible and collect their souls!"
…
Half an hour later, contrary to expectations but also as expected, he still could not completely control this [monster].
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
There was a hint of confusion in Digdit's eyes. This situation happened again and again, and even the dumbest person would become a little alert.
He was not sure whether he did not put enough spiritual energy into it, or whether there was a limit to the divine skill of "controlling" it.
Looking at the huge monster under my feet, I felt a subtle sense of awe.
"Can I...really conquer you?" he murmured.
It is the icy wind that blows through the world, and it is the obsidian crystal on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
It is the black torrent in winter and the solemn and forbidden night sky.
It can surrender temporarily, but has permanent freedom.
"No, it shouldn't be like this! I must not have put enough spiritual energy into it!"
"As long as I destroy a few more cities and invest more spiritual energy, it will definitely surrender to me!" Both sides of Digdit emitted red light, strengthening their will.
The gambling nature in his heart flared up again, and he urged the [Monster] to fly towards the nearest city.
"Since we have been discovered by humans, let's just destroy all the cities!"
"As long as I command the city of Lingbo, I can definitely rise in Pangu Continent."
Target - Babylon City! "Although Babylon City is not a city with a population of tens of millions, its combat power is very low. There are also people being driven to support it. I will definitely succeed!"
…
…
Amidst the panic, the other cities watched in horror as the city of Bari destroyed itself.
The scene of the hydrogen bomb explosion was so horrifying that even a 0.1 second video was enough to make people shudder and feel as if they even forgot to breathe.
This video was played over and over again hundreds or thousands of times.
"Report, a hydrogen bomb pulse originating from Bari City has been discovered! The hydrogen bomb equivalent level is 2 million tons!"
"All radio contact lost!"
All history is human history. When the inheritors of culture disappear completely, there is no possibility of passing on the torch.
Li Chunhong was sweating profusely. Even though he knew that as a leader, the most important thing he should do at this moment was to remain calm, how could he remain calm in this situation?
The rest of the leaders had either a pale face or flushed red faces.
"Fuck!"
"Oh my god!"
"Where's its next stop?!"
"We must concentrate our efforts on the floating fortress and launch a decisive battle with it!"
"No, the floating fortress is far slower than this [monster] in terms of movement speed. Its top speed reaches five times the speed of sound. There is no way we can catch up with it!"
A thick despair lingers over the surviving cities.
The night of terror is still going on, how can they avoid the fate of annihilation?
"The inexplicable destruction of a city can be explained as a coincidence."
"Two cities is inevitable, so someone with the ability to control it must exist! There is no need to doubt it." Professor Zhang Hui licked his dry lips, his brain racing.
"Moreover, the sudden explosion of the hydrogen bomb indicates two possibilities."
The city leaders on the numerous screens all looked at him.
"First, the hydrogen bomb could indeed harm this anomaly, so those insiders blew themselves up. Now what you have to do is to seize the nuclear codes immediately and don't let the tragedy happen again!"
"The second possibility is that the vision can withstand the power of the hydrogen bomb. But the human on the vision cannot withstand the nuclear radiation, and he will be directly blown to death."
A white general widened his eyes: "You mean, Digdit is on that [monster]?"
"I'm just guessing... This vision has no intelligence, but it clearly shows a higher level of logic. It seems to only devour souls, and not a large number of bodies. It's obviously in a hurry."
"If it eats corpses, it must take a lot of time. Even if it eats a hundred corpses per second, with the capacity of a city, it will take it several days to eat, right? Obviously, this did not happen."
"Secondly, the way it travels is very direct. It seems that it knows the location of the safe zone. You have to know that our cities have only been open for less than a day! Even if its perception ability is very high, it is unlikely to detect a city ten thousand kilometers away."
"So I think Digdit is indeed in the body of the demon. If we use a hydrogen bomb to kill him, the problem may be mostly solved."
"But he is under the protection of the [Demon], so conventional weapons may be difficult."
"Then use neutron bombs, or even... chemical weapons. As long as he is a human being, he will not be able to withstand nuclear radiation and poison gas."
Zhang Hui's words were actually meant to boost morale.
Even if the culprit Digdit was killed by the explosion, [Demon·Frost Mist] would still be alive, which would be a big trouble.
They must kill this [monster] to resolve this crisis.
"Indeed, this [Monster] is a big problem. Its flying speed is much faster than our hovering fortress. Only missiles can barely catch up... and a single fortress is far from being a match."
"Ambush." Zhang Hui took a deep breath. "There are 17 human cities, and 4 of them have been destroyed. We can infer its specific route."
"It will definitely come to attack our Yunhai City, so we just need to place hydrogen bombs on the route it must take, preferably neutron bombs, to give it a hard time!"
[Monster] moves too fast and has extremely high reaction ability.
If attacked with conventional missiles, it will definitely dodge, and the missile's hit rate is low.
But if a hydrogen bomb buried in the forest suddenly explodes when it passes by somewhere, it will be difficult to dodge no matter how fast the reaction is.
"Is that so..." Li Chunhong looked at the map and took a few deep breaths.
But how can we introduce it into the trap set by humans? Saturation foreshadowing? …
…
New York City.
This populous city is in a state of emergency evacuation.
Most citizens hid in shelters. Even though they had learned from previous experiences and knew that these shelters were not very effective, they still hid in fear.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even the most unruly person can be as quiet as a quail.
The panicked middle-level officers urgently dismantled the nuclear weapon's signal receiving device, fearing that the top brass might go insane and suddenly detonate the hydrogen bomb.
"You bastards! Put it back together!"
"Our communicator doesn't have the ability to activate the ability transmission function! No one is being controlled!"
"If you want to survive, quickly assemble the hydrogen bomb and return it."
The senior officials of Newyue City were furious.
But this kind of distrust between superiors and subordinates, like a seed, took root in the hearts of middle-level officers.
"We only believe that our destiny is in our own hands!!"
"Fools, idiots! Without hydrogen bombs, how can we fight the enemy? How about this... Since you believe in yourselves, use these things to fight the enemy and ambush several routes around."
"I will tell you the nuclear codes and provide you with intelligence."
Just like that...the middle-level officers in New York City led the lower-level soldiers and drove the missile vehicles out of the city.
"I want to see what the monster that destroys humanity looks like." The army colonel named Bushnell lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes looking into the distance.
The soldiers around laughed: "Let's stick a hydrogen bomb into its damn ass!"
We have to admit that the former superpower still has some military foundation and is not short of heroes who stand up.
…
…
On the other side, after hearing the destruction of its own city, the "Super Fortress" hurried back.
This metal spaceship was built to high standards, and its hundreds of jet engines spewed out white flames, and the violent friction with the air produced a violent whistling sound.
"Our home...is gone!"
Seeing the cold icy ruins, the soldiers in the super fortress collapsed at that moment and burst into tears.
"Mother!"
"dad!"
There was no response, only ruins.
Desolate and lonely.
They were the most elite and brave warriors in a city, but at this moment, they had no target to protect.
"Everything...everything is a conspiracy of Zero City!"
"Let's go back... and destroy Zero City!"
"Revenge for our loved ones!"
The super fortress changed direction and flew towards Zero Wave City.
…
Once again, Digdit massacred three weaker cities without encountering much resistance.
At this moment, as many as 7 cities were destroyed, and the number of casualties was 64 million, but the cold fact was before him - he still could not control this [monster].
Of course, the investment of so much spiritual charm still brought good results.
[Demon·Frost Mist] has become noticeably more friendly, and is becoming more and more obedient to commands.
There would be no more whispering in his mind.
"This harnessing of energy should last for a long time... Unfortunately, there is no turning back for me."
Even if he stopped here, humans would not forgive him.
This is a life-and-death hostility.
"It's better to eliminate them all at once!"
"Sir, the other cities have officially raised our communication channels." The telegram contained bad news one after another.
"A large number of cities have strongly condemned us and officially declared war!"
"The super fortress of Dongjin City is flying towards our city again. It may arrive in 3 hours! They have several atomic bombs on their super fortress!"
Digdit's heart trembled: "Notify all the people being driven to cause as much damage as possible, even at the cost of their lives!"
"Have you any shells left?"
"Sir, our shelter is fully capable of withstanding the atomic bomb! Please rest assured."
[Monster] It only takes half an hour to slaughter humans.
But it takes a long time for humans to slaughter humans.
Digdit looked at the map and narrowed his eyes.
"Next stop, Yunhai City!"
However, when he gave the order, [Demon·Frost Mist] showed some resistance and fear.
"No one in Yunhai City is being controlled. The industrial strength is strong and it is the hardest and most difficult bone to chew."
"As long as we take this city, we will have no rivals!"
The huge human head was still quite resistant and made a whistling sound.
"I can promise to give you half of my spiritual energy to help you grow! We must destroy these human cities!"
This time, [Demon·Frost Mist] was extremely excited, and its movement speed increased significantly!
Black air surged and the north wind howled.
This scene happened to be detected by a drone that was parked on the ground.
…
"Report! The enemy has appeared at position B1, about 4,400 kilometers away from us!"
"According to the current moving speed, we will reach my city in an hour. Please give me instructions!"
When this news appeared at the Yunhai City Command Center, everyone seemed to have met their final fate.
Yes, it has destroyed 7 cities.
It’s time for Yunhai City to take over.
"Get ready for battle!" Li Chunhong shouted loudly.
The missile silo had its cover opened and the indicator light of the nuclear missile was on, indicating that it was ready to launch at any time.
The industrial power of Yunhai City is unmatched by other cities, and the number of missiles is extremely large.
However, due to the shortage of nuclear fuel, only 13 hydrogen bombs were produced, with the largest equivalent of 2 million tons and the smallest equivalent of about 500,000 tons.
These nuclear weapons have never been tested since they were manufactured. Even the most famous nuclear experts are unsure at this moment.
"We must start the battle outside the city. Once we let it break into the city, the losses will be extremely heavy!"
"But it moves too fast. If it is too far away, it will be difficult for our hydrogen bomb to hit it."
The speed of that monster reached Mach 5, and its maximum speed could even exceed Mach 10. Human missiles could not catch up with it.
"And there is a human behind the scenes, he will definitely be careful of our hydrogen bombs! As long as the [Demon] takes a detour, our deployment will be ineffective."
These are indeed problems.
Li Chunhong said solemnly: "[Demon·Frost Mist] was once hurt by the light curtain triggered by the twin phoenix trees, and there is a high probability that it will be left with psychological trauma."
“So our sycamore trees can guard one or even multiple directions!”
"We can maximize our attack by simply concentrating our forces in another direction."
This is a life-and-death gamble.
But because of their limited strength, they could only gamble! As the order was issued, there was a slight rumble, and the "Twin Sycamore Trees" and the thousands of tons of foundation below were suspended - it turned out that people had long transformed this area into a small floating fortress.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already woken up from her dream and could not contact Lu Yuan. She had no other options but to comfort Wutongshu in a low voice: "Come on, you have to guard several directions."
The paulownia tree seemed to understand human nature and began to shake "rustlingly".
The bark on its surface was raised in regular patterns, forming regular carvings - these were the spiritual runes that Lu Yuan had originally engraved.
The colorful leaves glowed with a faint light, and the twin paulownia trees were constantly accumulating strength.
After all, it is just a high-level extraordinary life form, not a vision, and the third-level technology can only be used once.
After everything was ready, the small fortress officially set sail. Lu Qingqing naturally couldn't risk fighting in the risky area, so she was taken to the core shelter.
This shelter was buried 200 meters underground, and there were only 300 refugees. The warehouse was stocked with food and water that could sustain them for 5 years, so even if Yunhai City was really destroyed, they still had a chance to survive.
"Everyone, come on!" After all, Lu Qingqing was just a girl who had just graduated from college, and her eyes couldn't help but become red.
…
…
Time passed by minute by minute, and [Demon·Frost Mist] was only 300 kilometers away from Yunhai City!
A war is about to break out!
Digdit gave the order: "Use the shield ability now! You have to know that humans are very insidious and will definitely attack us with nuclear bombs."
"Even if you can withstand hydrogen bombs, you should try to stay as far away as possible and avoid being hit by these weapons!"
"Also, you must protect me, understand?"
"Roar!" The [Monster] let out a low roar.
Millions of ice crystals, stacked layer upon layer, formed a huge protective shield like crystal glass.
These ice flakes are suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating around a central point.
This large defensive shield also has a price - the mobility will be reduced to a certain extent. It is impossible to require the [Monster] to carry a large ice shell and move as fast as the wind.
