Chapter 380: Killing Up to the Ground World

Boom!

After the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake swallowed the orbital cabin where Lieutenant General Xisikaen was located.

Su Ping also moved his body, entering inside the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake.

Afterwards, tentacles grew out all around the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, sticking to the upward-leading orbital walls.

It then climbed upward directly, as fast as lightning.

Hah, thinking that stopping the transport vehicles in the underground and ground areas could delay his pace?

That is underestimating him too much.

While Su Ping was climbing up along the track.

The two Transport Station staff members who had been standing next to Su Ping finally snapped out of their daze, realizing what they had just encountered.

While feeling fortunate in their hearts, they hurriedly pressed the communication device to report.

Harsh alarm sounds rang out in the underground and ground Transport Stations at almost the same time.

Ground World, Transport Station.

Ultra-high temperatures were indeed effective.

But augmented humans are simply too good for combat in complex environments.

As for more specialized special-attack weapons.

Their equipment is naturally sufficient to counter ordinary terrorist armed lunatics.

Even the Captain leading the team was feeling nervous.

These physical modifications are not perfect according to the Kaluo Federation's technology tree, and there are many side effects.

Not only were their expressions as cold as robots.

It was just that everything happened too fast.

These men and women who were over 2.2 meters tall.

In the orbital space.

Under the circulation of Dharma Power.

Military police were constantly running to gather at the exit of the orbital cabin.

It's just that even the Patriarch who approved the project probably never imagined that the augmented human squad would be brought out for combat on the surface to counter a single person, an Awakened!

Boom!

After the augmented human squad approached, they threw bundles of explosives down without a word.

"Why hasn't the cabin door been closed yet!"

As the ground shook, parts of the orbital wall were blown open, and large and small rocks collapsed, falling down like a rainstorm.

Even if the costs were high, the various families were not stingy about it.

However, the rocks had limited damage on it.

After raising the Rocket Launcher, they fired special Rockets into it.

As for the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, it naturally didn't get that treatment.

"There isn't enough time, the opponent is simply too fast."

A faint Golden Light emerged on his body, protecting his physical form.

Fortunately, an augmented human squad from the Kabu Family happened to arrive.

Mechanical arms, mechanical legs, and even mechanical eyes.

At the same time, several augmented humans rushed to the orbital cabin exit.

Behind them, a Transport Station official who had learned the news and rushed over in a panic was immediately covered in sweat upon learning that the monster was climbing up.

It is very suitable for the current pattern of mutual entanglement between the great families of the Kaluo Federation.

The only ones who could come were the quick-reaction squads of the Transport Station.

The team member watching the surveillance screen also had a slight change in expression and immediately reported:

From previous combat records, they could also see that ultra-high temperatures should have a certain effect on the monster created by that Awakened's special ability.

Yet, they still couldn't produce usable experimental products to verify it in a short time.

"The attack did not have the intended effect, they passed through the bombed section... and the speed is even faster!"

Although the experts at the Academy of Sciences had all ended their vacations.

Instead, it incited the ferocity of the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, and its climbing speed became even faster.

He recited the Golden Light Body Protection Divine Incantation.

Behind every finished product, there are several times as many failed products that suffered a fate worse than death.

But the high-temperature damage in that instant during the high-speed leap, although it made the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake let out a roar that made people shiver.

While they used Gene Agents to strengthen themselves, they had indeed undergone physical modifications.

But facing that Awakened.

Su Ping saw the collapsing rocks and the Rockets.

A deputy beside him whispered:

"Closing the transport orbital cabin door is no small matter; applying for approval and executing it all take time."

That was an Incendiary Bomb that could produce ultra-high temperatures after exploding.

"And... even if the cabin door is closed, with the opponent's terrifying destructive power, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop them."

The augmented human squads at the exit performed another volley, then retreated and scattered, raising various heavy and powerful individual weapons aimed at the exit direction.

The emotions of these augmented humans were suppressed to the minimum, leaving only the survival instinct for the Gene Agents that maintained their physical stability.

And because of this, even though they discovered the enemy's strength, they still raised their weapons and prepared for battle like robots executing a program.

Bang, bang, bang!

The next moment, the sound of ammunition tearing through the air rang out in this space.

Countless bullets pierced the body of the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, flying past Su Ping.

A very small number of lucky ones touched the Golden Light on Su Ping's body and were immediately deflected to the side.

At close range, members of the augmented human squad used High-Temperature Flame Throwers.

This caused the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, which had thrust most of its body out, to feel intense pain, and it immediately extended a tentacle from its body surface and lashed out violently.

Instantly, that augmented human and the flame thrower were smashed to pieces, even causing an explosion that ignited a large fire on the ground.

The rest of the augmented humans fared no better.

They were indeed much stronger than ordinary people.

But facing an unreasonable monster like the Shadow of the Abyss, and facing those suddenly appearing spikes and tentacles.

In the span of a breath, more than half of them were left with missing limbs.

Su Ping also walked out from within the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, unhurried and composed.

After glancing at the clearly abnormal augmented human squad.

In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the strongest augmented human, who was presumably the Captain.

Under the intrusion of his divine sense, he read his memories.

Su Ping immediately discovered that he had still underestimated the Nobles of the Kaluo Federation.

Even without the pretext of Other-dimensional Space exploration.

For the sake of the augmented human project, they could still carry out various recreational projects at the cost of human lives.

Betting on whether this augmented human modification would succeed, or even taking augmented humans to the arena for death matches.

Thereby proving that their own augmentation technology was better and more perfect.

Looking at the augmented human Captain, whose eyes and facial expression remained unchanged even under the intrusion of his divine sense.

Su Ping sighed and gently used force to grant the other party rest.

Looking around again, after the augmented human squad had been wiped out following a brief resistance.

Those ordinary security personnel at the Transport Station had already moved away under the pretext of covering the officials as they fled the danger.

Further away, whether it was the staff or the Citizens who had originally intended to take the lift to the Underground City, they were all fleeing in a panic amidst the shrill alarm.

Su Ping had no interest in ordinary people; after putting down the augmented human Captain.

With a movement of his body, he caught the fleeing official, arriving before them despite starting later.

The moment he grabbed the other party, only one confidant raised a pistol to shoot, and then, with a blur before their eyes, their neck was already snapped.

The others who had originally surrounded the official scattered once more.

There were even those who, having fallen to the ground in their haste to run, turned into quadrupeds to continue fleeing.

Many of them, at this moment, unleashed the potential of being human and ran at the fastest speed of their lives.

Su Ping read the memories of that official.

He discovered that this guy was actually not bad.

As expected of an official at the Transport Station, not to mention his ability, at least the circles he came into contact with were not low.

He knew all the ins and outs of this Surface City.

Once he knew, it meant Su Ping knew.

Su Ping also had a plan in mind for what to do next.

In fact, the plan was very simple.

First, take a look at this Surface City, and then, head to the Kabu Family's estate, and clear out the industries of those Nobles along the way.

Just as he was thinking this, Su Ping picked up the official's communication device.

He saw the news playing on the device.

It was constantly repeating a safety warning.

The most ferocious and evil madman in history has appeared in the Surface City!

The Federation requests all Citizens to stay as far away from the other party as possible and to call the emergency contact number to report it immediately.

"The most ferocious madman in history?"

Su Ping mocked the headline, then discovered that in the large number of videos below the report.

They were filled with the gruesome remains of corpses that had died at the hands of the Shadow of the Abyss or himself.

Then there were interviews with the families of those deceased.

Accompanied by music and editing.

It was quite inflammatory.

Su Ping estimated that he was now an enemy feared and hated by everyone in this Kaluo Federation.

However, Su Ping did not care about this at all.

With great power belonging to oneself, one need not fear being pointed at by thousands of people or dying without a cause.

Su Ping had not yet walked out of the Transport Station's main entrance.

Batches of augmented human squads and special operations squads had already become those moving against the flow of fleeing people, rushing into the station.

Following that, intense gunfire and explosions rang out continuously within this huge fortress-like building.

Until about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

The sound of gunfire and explosions suddenly stopped abruptly.

This announced the fate of total annihilation for those squads that had come to support.

Following that, the field officials who were urgently setting up defenses received news that someone had discovered the target person from the subway platform.

As for why the other party could appear at the subway station.

Looking at the city map, they could realize that the entire area beneath the Ground City is filled with subway tunnels of varying ages, accumulated over hundreds of years.

Many of these tunnels have already been abandoned, but abandoned or not, they still exist underground.

Those sealing measures only guard against ordinary people; they cannot seal off armed squads, let alone stop an Awakened.

Beneath the Transport Station, there are quite a few old subway lines passing through.

One only needs to crawl into the Sewer and break through some stone slabs to easily enter the subway space, and then move into other subway tunnels.

"This... it simply cannot be blocked!"

"As long as the other party is in the city, I am afraid it will be very difficult for us to deal with him."

"Unless the big shots of the Federation can make up their minds to ignore the lives of Citizens and even Elites, and use high-yield lethal weapons within the urban area."

"If the Academy of Sciences could guarantee that using high-yield weapons would kill or severely injure the other party one hundred percent of the time,"

"I estimate that the higher-ups would have approved it long ago."

"But the key problem is, in an urban environment, dealing with an Awakened who is an army unto himself and has an unknown number of ways to move..."

"None of the experts dare to guarantee that the high-yield weapons in our hands would be effective."

After Lieutenant General Xisikaen followed in his nephew's footsteps.

The new commander-in-chief, General Trikabu from the Kabu Family, accepted the order in a time of crisis and chose to use an aircraft carrier as his command headquarters, beginning to direct the military forces of the Ground City to deal with Su Ping.

Compared to the environmental restrictions of the Underground City.

General Trikabu could mobilize more military forces.

In addition to the army numbering in the millions.

There were also the aircraft carrier battle groups surrounding the seas around the Ground City and the corresponding more than one hundred thousand naval personnel.

Furthermore, the strength that the air force and aerospace forces could exert was far beyond what the Underground City could compare to.

The Aerial Gunship that Lieutenant General Xisikaen had planned.

General Trikabu found them directly in the warehouse and had them modified.

It would not take long before they could take off for long-duration combat.

Coupled with the enhanced human squads and intelligence support provided by various families.

General Trikabu became the general with the most military power in the history of the Kaluo Federation.

However, even with so much power in his hands.

This general still felt uncertain about completing the mission.

He had no good ideas for the time being either.

He could only passively receive reports and then react.

Trying as much as possible to use different ammunition or special weapons to see if he could find the other party's weakness.

One hour later.

In the Ground City, at the largest shopping mall of the Kabu Family on the Golden Street, a Shadow of the Abyss giant snake appeared.

At the same time, a human trafficking and human body modification stronghold hidden beneath this mall was also discovered and wiped out.

And after the mall building collapsed under artillery fire.

It was revealed and discovered by the military police who rushed over.

This was just the beginning.

Not long after, another important stronghold of the Kabu Family was wiped out.

A large factory, an investment firm, a school for raising family-born servants.

It went on one after another like this.

Even the dullest person knew that the other party's primary goal was to deal with the Kabu Family.

In the Hanging Garden.

Lance Kabu received a communication from his grandfather.

While telling him to return immediately, he also informed him of what was happening now.

His grandfather's stern tone and the panic over the family's assets actually being destroyed stimulated Lance Kabu's nerves.

He looked at his Noble companions around him.

Gritting his teeth, he said:

"Next time... next time for the Other-dimensional Space exploration, I will go too!"

Hearing this, the young Noble men and women had varied expressions.

They all already knew that as Kalosis had become an Awakened and displayed all sorts of incredible powers.

Even if the sequelae might be turning into a madman.

It still shocked the entire upper echelon of the Federation.

Consequently, the plan for the next Other-dimensional Space exploration was drastically changed.

Except for the old captain and those dozen or so essential crew members, the original members were all replaced.

All other members were replaced with family-born servants or family descendants from each house.

And they all underwent surgery to have Remote Control Bombs implanted in their brains just in case.

In terms of numbers, it was also directly doubled from the already expanded five hundred to one thousand.

Clearly, the high-ups of the Kaluo Federation wanted to rely on a numerical advantage to fight and produce an Awakened of their own side to counter Kalosis, this anomaly.

Experts also felt that this possibility was theoretically feasible.

After all, in the affairs of the world, if there is a first, there must be a second; what has happened will surely happen again.

Since the mutation of Kalosis was related to the Other-dimensional Space exploration.

Then, they proceeded to conduct the simulation again, following the previous itinerary without a single deviation.

Theoretically speaking, there should be an opportunity for new Awakened to be born.

Of course, the higher-ups did not rely entirely on this plan.

Experiments that were originally too radical and would cause damage to precious test subjects were also granted approval and funding support.
