Chapter 59: Base Attacked, Humanity in Panic!

The military's barrage of fire ceased due to Lu Chuan's sudden disappearance.

But the impact brought about by this round of artillery fire was still immense.

As of now, the edge of the Qinling Mountains, and even a large area in the heart of the entire Qinling Mountains, have ignited into a great fire, with billowing thick smoke shooting straight into the sky; it would be impossible not to notice.

"Hello, everyone, dear viewers."

An hour later, a reporter at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, with their back to the fire, conducted a live broadcast for everyone, "I presume everyone is still quite confused about what happened earlier in the great Qinling Mountains, especially that violent tremor and the fire burning here."

"I can explain all of this clearly for you, dear viewers!"

This time, the reporter did not hesitate to visit the scene in person, risking their life to conduct the live report, naturally to quell the suspicions in the public's hearts.

As the camera panned, the area at the center of the explosion appeared in the sight of all the citizens, and the reporter said at this moment, "Previously, our military discovered the tracks of the Jianghai Snake King in the great Qinling Mountains. At that time, the military had dispatched a team to enter the Qinling Mountains to investigate a certain incident, and they happened to run into the Snake King that had arrived there."

"Upon meeting, the Snake King launched a fierce battle with the military soldiers, and the Snake King even relied on a fire leopard with equally impressive strength to launch a ruthless attack on our military helicopters and soldiers!"

"The following is the footage left behind during the military's battle!"

When this voice fell, the live broadcast screen immediately switched, replaced by one video after another.

On the screen was the scene of the great battle between the military and the Snake King. It could be seen that the battle at the time was extremely tragic, and the military suffered heavy losses; General Ning and a group of soldiers were retreating steadily under the dual pressure of the Snake King and the fire leopard.

These video clips not only erased the footage of the tyrant attacking the human soldiers first, but also directly cut out the scene where the Snake King spoke human language and negotiated with humans!

All the footage seemed to be guiding the public to realize that this time, it was the Snake King who had taken the initiative to provoke the military.

Only then did the military have to fight back.

And it showed the process of using large tracking missiles to carry out a barrage of fire, ultimately blowing the Snake King into 'no remains'.

The video basically ended here, and the camera switched back to the reporter.

She was seen saying with great heartache, "Dear viewers, the Snake King is extremely cruel and also possesses some Beast followers, so during this period, please do not enter the Qinling Mountains and related areas, otherwise you are very likely to be retaliated against by the Snake King's followers."

"Now, the mountain fire caused by the killing of the Snake King has also been attended to by professional personnel to extinguish it, and the losses caused by this Snake King..."

"Oh my goodness!"

In front of television sets, in front of mobile phone screens, in front of computers...

The citizens watching the report all revealed expressions of emotion, and some could not help but comment, "The Snake King is actually this powerful; this is even more terrifying than the previous Four Great Beast Kings!"

"No wonder the military used such great effort this time to eliminate it!"

"Sigh..."

There were also many viewers who were heartbroken for those soldiers who died in battle; some even repeatedly watched the great battle, shedding tears faintly, "These... these are all great protectors of the people, some were still half-grown children, and just like that, they are gone..."

"Sigh!"

"Fortunately, the country is already very strong. When facing these Beasts, it can eliminate them in time, which allows more people to avoid being attacked by Beasts and thus losing their lives!"

"If you ask me, these Beasts should be killed..."

Just as the citizens were discussing it heatedly.

In the south, at a certain base.

"Finally settled it!"

In an office, dozens of people were gathered together. On the large screen they were facing, the battle in the Qinling Mountains was also being played. Everyone was wearing uniforms, looking like they held high positions and were not young. At this time, after watching the video footage, an Advanced military officer sighed and spoke, his words full of relief, "Finally settled it!"

"It wasn't in vain that we used dozens of missiles!"

"Speak up, everyone, what are your thoughts on what comes next?"

Compared to what the public saw, these Advanced military officers saw a more complete video, including the scene where Lu Chuan spoke human language.

Hearing this, an Advanced military officer pondered for a moment and said, "As of now, of those rated as the Four Great Beast Kings in the first phase, only the Northeast Black Bear King still exists!"

"Everyone knows that the Black Bear King is quite cunning; it can not only disguise itself as a human like us, but it is also extremely ferocious!"

While speaking, he clicked the remote control, and suddenly a report appeared on the screen, recording information related to the Black Bear King, "To date, it is estimated that thousands of citizens have suffered persecution from the Black Bear King; it has practically become the Beast King with the greatest destructive power!"

When everyone heard this, they were all filled with righteous indignation, but they could not personally go to deal with that Black Bear King, so they finally had to say, "I don't know when the Northeast side will be able to execute the Black Bear King!"

At this time, someone sighed endlessly, pulling the topic back to Lu Chuan, "Compared to the Black Bear King, that Jianghai Snake King, all in all, has never had any reports of harming citizens!"

"You all have information in this regard, so I won't say much more."

"I believe that, in fact, for a Beast King like this, since it has a tendency to negotiate with us humans, we should have considered it!"

The person speaking was none other than one of the parties who previously disagreed with using force against the Snake King; now they were just bringing up the old matter again, hoping to get the attention of the others, or even to learn a lesson.

However, some people waved their hands, brushing this matter aside, "It's useless to say anything now, after all... the Snake King is dead!"

"Report!"

Just as everyone was discussing and their minds were elsewhere, a guard suddenly rushed in, looking very anxious, "There is an abnormality underground, but the cause of the abnormality has not been determined!"

"Officers, please go outside to take shelter for a while, and come back after the danger has been cleared!"

"What?"

Hearing this news, the many military officers present all revealed expressions of surprise.

When this Junqu Zongbu was built, it had undergone detailed surveys; it would never have issues like collapse or underground river impacts, so how could there suddenly be an abnormality?

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from outside, and at the same time, the exclamations of many soldiers rang out one after another, "It's the Snake King!"

"It... isn't it dead?"

"Who exactly said that the Snake King had been killed!"

In an instant, the entire Junqu Zongbu fell into panic, and these Advanced military officers even glared at those around them!

The Snake King's massive body was seen emerging from the ground, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

In the stunned and terrified gazes of everyone, it just casually swept its tail, causing high-rise buildings to collapse instantly, and the violent roar made everyone in the field even more panicked.

Some people even wanted to use large weapons, but were fiercely scolded by their companions, "If you use this kind of weapon in a place like this, aren't you just seeking your own death?"

Indeed, in a place like this, many of the military's weapons could not be deployed.

Unless... they spared no cost, sacrificed their own people, and bombarded the military base to kill the Snake King.

However, it is clearly not yet forced to the final step, and this kind of plan will not be used! (End of this chapter)
