Chapter 935: The Disaster of the Ancient Capital
Cairo, the oldest capital on Earth, and the only one of the ancient state capitals that has not suffered large-scale destruction during the dynastic changes of the past several thousand years.
Since a certain Third World strongman took power in the middle of the last century, Cairo has also benefited from this.
Over the past half-century, it has been like a sponge, absorbing some of the resources of this country and even the entire Beifei Diqu.
So much so that the current Cairo, although only a city in North Africa, is filled with skyscrapers reaching into the sky, along with various modern stadiums, hotels, Jichang, and other facilities.
Of course, in this international metropolis, slums are also everywhere.
It is another morning, and wisps of cooking smoke rise.
In a slum southwest of Cairo, the adults have already left home early, busy working for their livelihoods.
As for the children, they are running around everywhere in the slum; although very poor, they are lively with each other.
Unfortunately, this peaceful and quiet life was soon broken.
"Boom..."
An abrupt explosion caused an uproar throughout the slum.
Some of the elderly left behind at home ran out in a panic from the simple houses built of cardboard, tattered fur rags, and mud, hurriedly calling for their children, while uneasily asking the surrounding neighbors where the explosion had occurred.
Before people could figure out the situation, more dense and frequent explosions rang out in this slum.
"Boom... boom... boom..."
Black smoke clouds rose, the slum became even more chaotic, and shouts and cries merged into one.
And just at this moment, the mastermind behind all this arrived.
"Boom!"
A behemoth, as if falling from the sky, suddenly plummeted, and the moment it hit the ground, it not only destroyed a section of the already dilapidated simple road but also left a cracked, circular shallow pit on it.
At the same time, after the behemoth landed, its form had already quickly transformed, turning into a ferocious mechanical warrior seven or eight meters tall.
"Decepticons, attack!"
Accompanied by his roar, hundreds of Decepticons came charging from the southwest, roaring.
Some of them brandished steel axes and spiked hammers in their hands, some held heavy swords and machetes, and others carried missiles on their shoulders or held various guns and artillery weapons.
The charging Decepticon Replica Warrior Legion was like a group of invincible tank clusters in the middle of an assault.
Simple houses were easily destroyed, and some brutal and bloodthirsty Replica Warriors even inhumanely chased those humans who were as weak as ants in their eyes, wantonly toying with and crushing them.
"Woo woo woo..."
The shrill air-raid siren soon sounded throughout the city of Cairo.
The busy people in the city had not yet figured out the reason.
The sound of explosions, one after another, began to blossom everywhere in this city.
Without the restraint of their mortal enemies, the Autobots, the Decepticons on Earth were now beginning to unleash their madness and desire for destruction without any scruples.
On the streets, several Advanced Replica Warriors were unhurriedly using the grenade launchers and energy cannons in their hands to lock onto and continuously destroy buses and cars attempting to flee.
Not far away, some chaotic Replica Warriors, devoid of reason and with even lower intelligence, were wantonly laughing while brandishing the weapons in their hands, easily knocking away cars that were crashing into them in despair.
On a dozen high-rise buildings, Replica Warriors nimbly climbed rapidly to the very top along the smooth outer walls of the skyscrapers.
Then they roared and raised the weapons in their hands, beginning their slaughter from a commanding height.
"Look, what a wonderful scene!"
Blitzwing, who had just flown to the city, landed on the rooftop helipad of a five-star hotel. Looking at the city filled with thick smoke, firelight, and Replica Warriors wantonly destroying and slaughtering, he murmured easily with the attitude of an artist admiring a world-famous painting.
Inside the Presidential Palace, a group of high-ranking officials of this country all had panicked faces and messy expressions.
In the conference room, telephone rings kept coming.
Several high-ranking secretaries of the Presidential Palace were sweating profusely, constantly organizing the bad news coming from all over Cairo and distributing it to everyone in the conference room.
On one wall of the conference room, a female reporter from Cairo Television was also very dutifully standing on a street filled with thick smoke, reporting the current chaos in Cairo to the whole country and even the world.
"... More than an hour ago, Cairo was suddenly attacked by aliens... As of now, we still do not know how these aliens appeared, or why they attacked Cairo..."
"But their appearance has undoubtedly brought a devastating blow to Cairo and our country... This will be the most serious terrorist attack humans have ever encountered, and the target attacking us is those powerful aliens..."
"On the streets, those aliens are still wantonly destroying and slaughtering our compatriots... As of now, no effective defense has been established in Cairo... Currently, only a small number of police have been committed to the counterattack against the aliens, but many of them were defeated or even suffered a devastating blow..."
"Currently, our president has yet to make a statement on this matter, and at the same time, we do not know where our army is!"
Hearing the questioning from the well-known female reporter of Cairo Television, the president was so angry his face turned blue.
"Why... why would those aliens attack us? Shouldn't they be targeting the United States, attacking those more powerful countries..."
Facing the president's roar and questioning, no one could answer.
Several generals in military uniforms no longer had their former arrogance, "Mr. President, we have ordered the air force to prepare to join the battle, and more troops will arrive one after another! But based on the past experience of the U. S. military fighting these aliens, I am afraid our army is unlikely to be their match."
"If possible, we hope you can immediately contact the Security Council and invite the British, French, and American nations to send troops to help immediately!"
Among the five major powers, only the United States has extensive experience in fighting aliens.
Moreover, their national strength is the strongest, and they have military bases in North Africa, South Asia, and Europe; if they are willing to help, it is believed that reinforcements will not take long to arrive.
As for the British and French, there is even less need to say; although they have been contemptuously nicknamed the 'two European wastes' by many military fans in recent years, those two wastes are only relative to the other three major powers.
As old colonial countries, the British and French also have many garrison troops and military bases in North Africa and the surrounding areas, which can be considered forces that can help.
By comparison, although the other two powers have a comprehensive military strength still above the two European wastes, one is far away in the Far East, and in Africa, they only have some peacekeeping forces equipped with a small amount of heavy weapons, which can hardly help.
As for the Polar Bear, following the war with Georgia half a year ago, they are currently being jointly blockaded by the entire NATO and even all of Europe; even if they had the heart to help, they would be beyond their reach.
Cairo cannot expect them to be like a certain country in the Far East and remotely support them with a few nuclear bombs.
