Chapter 376: Rivers of Blood (Part II)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rat-tat-tat!

"Monsters! There are monsters everywhere here!"

"Ah!"

Located in the Dungeon Civilian District, inside the Temporary Command Post ten kilometers outside the Apartment building.

Realizing the situation seemed somewhat different from what they had initially envisioned, the official commanding this battle fell silent for a moment.

First, he had the location of the Temporary Command Post moved to a further and safer place.

Then, he took the initiative to contact the big shot he was affiliated with.

He voluntarily resigned, allowing a young Major General with actual combat experience, good prestige in the military, and a solid background to take over his important post as commander-in-chief.

Afterwards, these people in the conference room saw the final footage transmitted when several squads were completely wiped out.

Watching from the perspective of those squad members who were swallowed by the Shadow of the Abyss.

The previous officials were all rejoicing that they had voluntarily conceded and resigned.

Yet suddenly, feeling something, they turned their heads abruptly.

Following that, they were covered in cold sweat.

The area surrounding the Apartment.

His face darkened, suspecting that the other party had done this on purpose.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, moved away from the wall, stood in the center of the room, and contacted the higher-ups again.

On the dining table, there were even cold leftovers.

After Major General Luxi Ka'en understood the situation.

He simply did not let more troops enter it, but instead set up a defensive line three to five kilometers outside the target.

The Captain of the Storm Squad, with his last two subordinates, rushed into an old house in a panic.

The last three members of the Storm Squad swallowed hard, not daring to even breathe loudly.

But this member had not jumped more than half a meter out of the window.

The three members of the Storm Squad instinctively raised their weapons, wanting to open fire.

"Damn it! We are simply fighting against monsters!"

They heard the voice of this terrifying man before them ring in their ears:

And with his authority as a Major General and his background as an important member of the Kahn Family, he mobilized more resources to come and support.

The next instant, the three of them knelt on the ground in unison.

"I request to withdraw again!"

At this moment, the thought of disobeying military orders and fleeing popped into his mind.

He saw the target, Kalosis, standing behind them at some point, watching them.

"Cough, cough, cough."

After only a miserable scream remained, everything returned to silence.

"Zzzzt!"

The Captain seemed to feel that it was truly safe this time and let out a long sigh of relief.

What was happening before their eyes was truly beyond their imagination.

The Commoners in the house had long since fled.

One minute later, that terrifying Shadow of the Abyss still had not come to look for them.

Then they heard screams coming from not far away.

The newly arrived young general was named Luxi Ka'en, one of the representatives of the Kahn Family in the military.

Not only was his background powerful, but this Luxi Ka'en himself was quite outstanding.

From the window, he saw that in a small three-story building not far away, after a burst of fire and explosion sounds.

"After all, I have observed for a long time; your information warfare capabilities should still possess practical combat ability."

The Captain of the Storm Squad wanted to continue speaking, but discovered that a signal interruption sound was coming from his headset.

"No, that's not right, this isn't a battle at all, it's a massacre!"

He was the type who started at a higher line than others and worked even harder than others.

It seemed such silence was very useful.

He was wrapped up by black tentacles rushing out from the window, and was immediately dragged into the shadow in the hallway.

"You should be able to hear what I am saying."

But before he could solidify this thought.

He did not order the various squads still near the Apartment to withdraw.

A member of a special operations squad, wearing black combat armor, suddenly crashed through the window of the third-floor hallway and rushed out.

The Captain of the Storm Squad scanned his surroundings, confirming that he did not feel that chill that made his heart turn cold.

"No matter who you are commanding this operation."

"I, hereby formally declare war on you and the scum and parasites of the Kalo Civilization behind you..."

"Formally declare war!"

After declaring war, Su Ping used his divine sense to invade the Captain of the Storm Squad and obtained his relevant intelligence.

Then, Su Ping sensed the giant shadow serpent, which was becoming stronger and stronger with the slaughter and devouring.

Su Ping headed with satisfaction to another small supermarket that had long been empty.

After using a coin to destroy the supermarket's surveillance system, he began to eat the specialty food and drinks of the Kalo Civilization.

And sitting ten kilometers away.

He heard Kalosis's arrogant yet confident declaration of war.

A burst of cheerful laughter erupted inside the conference room.

Especially the officials, who laughed one after another without restraint.

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

"It's just a Commoner brat who awakened a special ability; to think he actually believes that by relying on surprise attacks to defeat a few squads, he can truly stand against us."

"Exactly! As long as we find the flaw in his special ability..."

"Why go to such trouble? As long as our military gets serious and mobilizes a large army, everything will be over."

When discussing war, officials are often more confident than the officers and generals.

On the contrary, those from a military background and Major General Luxi Ka'en had serious expressions, also taking this declaration of war seriously.

And they wondered, was this a deliberate provocation?

The opponent might want to lure more combat squads into that district.

Thinking of this, Major General Luxi Ka'en thought of the opponent's special ability; could it be that the more people he kills, the stronger he becomes?

Therefore, after the squads that had already entered were completely wiped out, he did not continue to send a large army to encircle and suppress.

Instead, he waited for nearly an hour.

After receiving the report from his adjutant, he spent a while looking at the 3D projection of the battlefield.

After taking a sip of a stimulant to keep his mind clear, he said slowly:

"Commence shelling."

"Then, have the armored units prepare."

"Deploy thirty seconds after the shelling ends!"

The surrounding officials were somewhat hesitant upon hearing about the shelling, but in the end, no one dared to object.

After all, the target had already displayed monster-like methods.

To still want to capture the opponent alive would be failing to see the situation clearly.

Of course, more importantly, it was Major General Luxi Ka'en, a general with a deep background, who proposed it.

If it had been someone else with a lowly background, they would have had to offer a suggestion or two to show their presence!

…………

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

As self-propelled artillery, one size larger than a standard truck, occupied the main roads and began shelling.

The ground in the Civilian District began to shake.

This also caused more and more Commoners to be disturbed, and they had to continue evacuating according to the notification.

Many Commoners on buses were surprised to see a large number of military vehicles and war machines driving past on the opposite road.

For many Commoners who had never left the Underground City in their lives, this was the first time they had seen such equipment with their own eyes.

While feeling excited, they couldn't help but worry whether the spreading war would destroy their homes.

Following that, a portion of the people no longer needed to worry.

The fire from the shelling was very obvious in the Underground City.

Those on the evacuation route could see the fire rising into the sky as soon as they looked back.

Under the shelling that lasted for half an hour, not a single building in this Civilian District, including the Apartment, remained intact.

Ninety-nine percent of the buildings had collapsed directly.

The ground was also pitted and bumpy, with no intact road surface left.

Several locations where special combat squads had been attacked were given special attention.

Large craters were blasted into them.

And... and that was the extent of the destruction caused by the shelling.

The collapsed buildings did not disappear; instead, they formed more complex cover environments.

This was because the buildings in the Civilian District were mostly old, broken, and small.

Otherwise, if it were one of those metropolises on the surface, the destructive power of the shelling's firepower projection would be even more concerning.

As for missiles... in fact, the firepower of missiles was not even a fraction of the shelling.

That kind of airstrike that could destroy everything was just for bullying hostile forces that had no resistance to airstrikes and were internally riddled with contradictions.

It acted as a catalyst.

After the shelling ended, Su Ping, who was continuing to eat and drink in the basement of a supermarket that had mostly collapsed.

Also saw the armored units of this Kalo Civilization.

They were composed of Bipedal Mecha giants and spider-shaped eight-legged mecha.

The Bipedal Mecha were five meters tall, appearing humanoid but without a head, with the cockpit and observation position located in the chest area.

They, along with those seven or eight-meter-tall eight-legged spider robots, looked like they were specially made for urban warfare.

They moved swiftly through the ruins of buildings after the shelling.

Even those spider robots could suddenly leap twenty or thirty meters high and over a hundred meters away.

Behind the armored units were the mechanized troops of this armored legion.

They sat inside Armored Vehicles, slowly pressing into the target area like a wall.

Automatic artillery and Drones carrying armor-piercing and ground-penetrating missiles kept their eyes on the front line, providing fire support at any time.

Bang!

A Bipedal Mecha was suddenly bitten in the lower body by a Shadow of the Abyss.

Snap!

The pilot ejected immediately.

At the same time, the surrounding Bipedal Mecha and eight-legged spiders all charged over without fear, firing their machine cannons.

Missiles also fell from the sky.

In the blink of an eye.

The entire plot of land was blasted into a large crater.

This was also the first time a part of the Shadow of the Abyss giant serpent's body was exposed.

It was a shadow tentacle, pitch-black as ink, giving off a viscous sensation.

The artillery shells themselves could hardly cause it any damage.

However, the shockwaves generated by the constant explosions.

Made the shadow tentacle fade significantly.

Causing the tentacle to shrink back in a panic.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several consecutive earth-penetrating missiles fell into it, turning the large crater into a deep pit.

Yet, inside the deep pit, they could only see a fleeting shadow.

This made Major General Luxi Ka'en tremble slightly, feeling even more wary of that monster.

He ordered the advance to be accelerated, prioritizing the search for the target person.

In the view of Major General Luxi Ka'en, dealing with that Kalosis.

Might be easier than dealing with that monster capable of burrowing underground.

Furthermore, perhaps if Kalosis were captured or killed, this monster would also be weakened or even disappear.

As for whether Kalosis might also burrow underground to escape.

This Major General Luxi Ka'en felt it was unlikely.

After all, in his view, if the opponent also possessed this ability, shouldn't they have left long ago?

Why would they need to be besieged by them?

The fact that the monster capable of burrowing had been circling the area attacking incoming enemies during this time also proved these speculations.

Boom!

Just as the armored army continued its attack.

Suddenly, several Bipedal Mecha pilots discovered that their Life Detectors had begun to sound an alarm.

Observation equipment had just detected the appearance of a life form a kilometer away.

Suddenly, several beams of white light appeared, directly piercing through their cockpits and destroying the pilots' heads.

Causing the Bipedal Mecha stepping on the small hill of ruins to fall to the ground, one after another, emitting smoke.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Requesting artillery support!"

Discovering the anomaly, the following armored units immediately followed up.

At the same time, they did not skimp on ammunition, beginning to fire and form webs of firepower.

However, the firepower web that would normally be considered capable of blocking an enemy surprise attack.

In front of Su Ping now.

Was nothing more than a house of cards.

His figure was like lightning; in the blink of an eye, he had already stepped onto the head of an eight-legged spider.

The moment he landed, a massive force was transmitted from his right foot.

The terrifying impact instantly knocked the two pilots in the cockpit unconscious.

Then Su Ping smiled slightly and grabbed one of the spider robot's legs.

Immediately, he lifted this large spider robot up.

The eight-legged spider robot was already a behemoth in the eyes of ordinary people.

After being lifted by a human.

It gave people an absurd feeling of a small building being lifted by someone.

This scene also caused the pupils of the soldiers who subsequently entered the line of sight to shrink violently.

"Are you kidding me!"

"He actually lifted the eight-legged spider!"

"I must be crazy, I've inhaled hallucinogens!"

They could not believe it, but this could not affect Su Ping throwing this large spider.

It directly crashed into and sent several Bipedal Mecha flying, forming a roadblock that completely blocked the path of the following Armored Vehicles.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Drones that had finished launching their missiles also continued to attack, activating their belly-mounted machine cannons.

However, the machine cannons could not keep up with that incredible figure at all.

They were even constantly blown up in the air by something he fired!

As Su Ping exerted the power of this body, combined with the extraordinary perception and control brought by his divine sense, he was a one-man army.

The Shadow of the Abyss giant serpent had already left its previous range of activity.

And not long after, it returned to rendezvous with Su Ping at an underground parking lot somewhere.

It was the Shadow of the Abyss giant serpent that had headed to the Temporary Command Post from the memories of the Storm Squad captains and others.

However, no important targets were discovered.

It had no choice but to swallow the few officials and staff members inside.

Afterwards, it brought them back to Su Ping, who used his divine sense to invade their minds and obtain the corresponding intelligence.

And so.

Su Ping continued to appear outside, dismantling steel creations with the power of his physical body.

The Shadow of the Abyss giant serpent, meanwhile, rushed toward the location of the command post.

After sensing that the Shadow of the Abyss giant serpent had arrived at its position.

And after Su Ping threw another Bipedal Mecha flying away.

He flashed his body once more and entered the underground bunker.

Disappearing from the eyes of outsiders.

"Is this the perfect human that those people in the Academy of Sciences keep speculating about?"

"Incredible, this is truly too powerful."

"Bodhi soldiers, even after receiving training, cannot keep up with the opponent's movements."

"Having weapons and equipment is useless if you cannot hit the target."

Major General Luxi Ka'en was monitoring the frontline battlefield at all times; while sighing in amazement, he continuously issued orders.

Suddenly, his voice paused.

He turned his head abruptly, only to suddenly discover that the surroundings were shockingly covered by a layer of viscous, writhing dark shadows!
