Chapter 168 The Army's Devastation
Chapter 168 The Army's Defeated Defeat
Streams of fire erupted, and massive bombs hurtled into the smog.
This has had a significant impact on smog.
At the very least, the speed at which smog spreads has noticeably slowed down.
However, the military's operations are not yet over.
Next, fighter jets with a "noisy roar" flew over from the horizon.
They kept launching all sorts of bombs around the edge of the smog area.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" From the depths of the smog came angry roars, as if the monsters inside were enraged by the barrage of fire.
However, humans showed no mercy and continued their attack.
They seem determined to fire all the ammunition they've stored up in recent years.
"Whoosh," a breeze blew by, carrying with it a rich floral fragrance and various kinds of petals, drifting out from within the smog.
Where the fragrance of the flowers lingers, seedlings of the Alice Flower sprout from the soil.
"Put on your gas masks!" an officer shouted.
Well, Fei Ke had been feeling unwell before, so he guessed that there was something wrong with the fragrance and flowers here.
Therefore, after learning about this, the military made certain preparations.
"I hope the mask works." On the other side, Gengya was praying.
"Get the flamethrowers ready and clear away the nearby vegetation!" another commander shouted.
"Da da da," soldiers carrying gasoline canisters began to spray gasoline at the ground around them.
The plants growing on the ground are rapidly disappearing. Among them are the Alice Flowers.
Perhaps human preparation really works.
So far, no soldiers in the vicinity have experienced any physical discomfort.
Of course, this could also be because of the distance. The toxicity is somewhat low.
Time slowly passed.
Although the gray smog has been severely suppressed, it continues to expand.
About ten minutes later, the smog had reached a point not far from the first set up defense line.
"Fire! Fire!" the middle-aged, bearded commander shouted forcefully.
"Bang bang bang, whoosh whoosh whoosh, boom boom boom," accompanied by a series of complex and loud booming sounds, the many large-scale firearms stationed here seemed to be injected with chicken blood, firing wildly.
The dense barrage of shells, like rain, relentlessly bombarded the gray smog.
Although smog is powerful, it was still shattered by such a powerful explosion. The originally dense smog seemed to be dispersed by the aftershocks of the explosion, and it all became dim.
"Keep going! Keep going!" the commander shouted.
"Let these damned monsters know the might of us humans!"
"Let these monsters know that we humans are not to be trifled with."
Filled with this belief, the artillery fire grew ever more intense.
As time passed, various reinforcements were charging in from afar.
They were also carrying all sorts of large-scale firearms, which made the true nature of the human side even more ferocious.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Suddenly, the Corpse Mother seemed to be completely enraged.
Accompanied by a series of roars, groups of strange beings covered in Alice flowers rushed out of the smog.
"They're monsters, all monsters! Kill them all! We absolutely cannot let them break through the encirclement. Behind us is our home, our families, waiting for us to protect them." The commander began to encourage the soldiers.
Well, since most soldiers had never personally encountered monsters before, this was probably their first time seeing such a creature.
So, I was a little scared.
Fortunately, they had been well-trained in the past, and with the commander's "words," they were not so frightened that they collapsed.
"Bang bang bang," the artillery fire rained down on the ground, and as soon as the monsters showed their heads, they were covered by the terrifying roar.
The power of firearms is indeed extraordinary.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of monsters were blown up, fell to the ground, and turned into all sorts of debris.
However, the monster was not completely dead.
Their fragments are still writhing and twisting, and slowly growing.
Fortunately, before they could recover, new artillery fire followed, and their explosions shattered them into pieces, which looked like peanuts, scattering in all directions.
"Hahaha, now you know how powerful humans are!" The commander couldn't help but laugh triumphantly at the sight.
Even the ordinary soldiers realized that although the monster was terrifying, it wasn't insurmountable. Their minds gradually calmed down.
"Uh." Suddenly, the commander coughed.
“I…” His eyes slowly turned gray.
"Sir, what's wrong?" The surrounding soldiers asked, puzzled and worried.
"Roar!" came a piercing roar from the commander's mouth.
He lunged at the soldiers around him, baring his teeth and claws.
The soldiers were terrified.
"Roar, roar, roar!" Perhaps something eerie was happening, because immediately, all sorts of roars rang out from all directions among the numerous soldiers.
Many people's eyes have turned gray.
That's not all. The scorched earth cracked open, and numerous vines sprouted out to entangle the human soldiers and grow all sorts of Alice flowers.
"Ahhh, help! I don't want to die!" someone screamed as they were grabbed and torn apart.
The army, which had initially shown great promise, suddenly collapsed completely.
The strange people here, though similar to zombies, are far more terrifying. Normal people who are scratched by them will instantly turn into monsters.
"Bang!" Someone made a mistake in this environment, causing the bomb next to them to explode.
Because there was too much ammunition stored nearby, the explosion triggered a chain reaction.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" More shells exploded.
In the blink of an eye, an area of several hundred meters in radius was engulfed in artillery fire.
"Not good." Even the awakened ones, who had been watching quietly, were stunned by this sudden scene.
"Everyone be careful. Use your supernatural powers to protect yourselves as much as possible, and don't let the monsters' strange moves harm you."
"Furthermore, we retreat..." Gengya issued a difficult order.
"Oh no, I will never back down! All monsters deserve to die. I'd gladly die for them!" However, a young awakened one retorted. He then charged towards the military camp as if out of control.
"Xie En, don't be impulsive. This is not an enemy we can handle. We can barely buy time. We must retreat!" Geng Ya shouted urgently.
But the young people didn't care at all.
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, numerous steel blades were released from the young awakened individual's body. At this moment, he had become a man of iron blades.
He was like a human blender, plunging into the crowd.
"Puff puff puff," many strange people and Alice flowers were cut into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Chief, I don't want to keep backing down."
"We must do something, even if our actions cannot stop the expansion of the monsters."
"I cannot bear to abandon these ordinary soldiers and run away under the attack of monsters."
Immediately afterwards, several more awakened individuals charged out.
"Sigh, there's just no way to deal with you guys." Geng Ya couldn't help but smile wryly.
Suddenly, Geng Ya turned to the others around him and said, "Now, as the director, I order you to retreat and cooperate with the relocation of many people. This is not shirking responsibility, nor is it a disgrace; you are saving lives."
"Also, please give my regards to General Raymond and do everything in my power to request support. The monster before us is truly terrifying."
"Only by having more super awakened beings, or even national-level awakened beings, come in person can we deal with them."
"And we absolutely cannot let this go unchecked; this thing's pollution is widespread."
Gengya continued speaking incessantly.
"Director, what do you mean?" Fei asked nervously.
Those who were awakened present felt that Gengya seemed to be giving his last words.
"I don't actually want to run away. I want to use my own strength to stop the smog from spreading as much as possible," Geng Ya smiled. "Alright, it's settled then. You should leave now, otherwise your bodies won't be able to take it."
"Ah, if we're going to stay, we'll stay together!" Fei Ke shouted, no longer wanting to run away.
"I'm useful if I stay, but you're just going to your deaths. Now, obey my orders." Geng Ya's eyes widened. A powerful aura erupted, engulfing the entire area.
"Obey orders, understand? Don't waste my time."
Gengya shouted again and charged into the chaotic camp.
"Damn it!" Fei Ke clenched his fists in despair.
"Sigh, obey orders." The others hesitated, but they had no choice; they also wanted to kill the demon.
However, Geng Ya's words also make a lot of sense.
At this moment, Fei Ke reacted the fastest. He immediately lowered his hand and said resolutely, "Retreat, retreat as soon as possible."
...
"The power of steel." Geng Ya took one step at a time, unleashing a fierce power.
The ground around him was cracked from his feet, and a strong, invisible force emanated from beneath his feet.
"Bang! Bang!" Those nearby monsters died instantly, blown apart by the force.
Geng Ya was like a humanoid missile capable of destroying everything; wherever he passed, all monsters were annihilated by the power he emitted.
Following this, the smog also took advantage of this time to expand rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it covered this defensive line.
"Get out of my way, all of you." Geng Ya had already realized that the gray smog here was highly polluting. He unleashed his full power, forming a dark red halo. In an instant, everything within a hundred meters was destroyed, including the smog.
"Expansion? I'll let you expand!" Geng Ya gritted his teeth. He specialized in destroying the smog, but he rarely bothered to actively eliminate the monsters.
"Iron Thorn Ridge." Half a minute later, Gengya suddenly squatted down and slapped his hands on the ground.
"Boom, boom," accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The surrounding land was shattered into pieces. Then, steel thorns sprouted and spread in all directions.
It also emits a metallic sheen. This thing, like a laser, destroys anything it irradiates.
"The director is really amazing!"
Nearby, not all of the awakened ones who had attacked earlier are dead.
On the contrary, Gengya's involvement and attack caused their crisis to plummet.
They were also very excited to see Gengya's earth-shattering destructive power.
"Hey, you all need to retreat now. Leave the rest to me."
"I want to destroy the source of the monsters; I want to try to end this disaster completely."
Gengya was unstoppable, slaughtering everyone in his path.
Even more terrifying was that his body had also turned into steel, filled with a metallic sheen.
This greatly increased his defense and strength.
At this point, he stopped his frantic attacks and the unleashing of various skills.
Because skills require physical strength.
That would be too taxing.
Next, to strike at the heart of the enemy's stronghold, he will need more stamina, and he must improve his condition.
"Chief, please let us help you." The survivor did not agree.
Geng Ya felt helpless; for the first time, he felt that these awakened individuals were troublesome and a hindrance.
"Do as you please," Geng Ya said, not insisting.
Because he respects the choices of these idiots.
Of course, although they were foolish, they were also great and could be considered heroes.
After all, their actions were indeed well-intentioned.
With a loud "boom," Gengya felt the urgency of the situation and rushed headlong into the depths of the smog.
He was only running and not attacking, but because his body was so tough, almost anyone who stood in his way was killed.
This has caused considerable damage to the smog.
"Let's go too." The Awakened One followed with all his might.
However, about a minute later, the Awakened One could no longer see Geng Ya.
Even their sense of direction is unclear.
"So, the reason Sally and Vierlan lost contact was because they got lost?" one of the awakened ones suddenly realized.
"Damn monsters, they're so cunning!" One of the awakened ones was furious, as he hated nothing more than a game of hide-and-seek.
Only through direct, bloody battles can one more easily unleash their full potential, and it's also the simplest and quickest way.
"Ugh, my body is starting to feel uncomfortable. Maybe I'm turning into one of those monsters too." Suddenly, one of the awakened beings knelt down in pain.
The room fell silent.
Because, in fact, everyone has this feeling.
It's just that the other party's situation is more serious.
"Destroy as many monsters as possible before you die."
Five seconds later, one of the awakened beings gritted his teeth and said, "If we're going to die, we should die with value. And our value lies in killing demons."
"Kill the demon." Everyone had this thought at that moment.
...
On the other side, Geng Ya also sensed that something was wrong.
"At my speed, I should be almost at Kane Town by now, so why is it still just wilderness?"
Gengya stopped and looked at the vast expanse of flowers.
Here, there is nothing but Alice's Flower.
"What a cunning and troublesome monster."
Geng Ya had a headache and regretted rushing in blindly.
Now that he's trapped here, the effects he can produce don't seem very noticeable.
“Since I can’t find it, then I’ll demolish it. I refuse to believe that maintaining this smog and forcing these flowers to grow won’t consume your energy,” Geng Ya slightly changed his search plan.
"Roar, roar, roar," however, the Corpse Mother did not forget Gengya.
Soon, the Alice flowers around them underwent a severe distortion.
One by one, strange plant creatures crawled out from the petals.
