Chapter 263: Battle Beast Tide (4)
The sky was faintly brightening.
In the west, it was still a hazy white, and there was not a trace of a Beast Tide.
However, on the city wall, everyone’s anxiety was accumulating with the passage of time…
“The Beast Tide is coming.”
Chen Yu suddenly spoke.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Bahuang Yao hurriedly stretched out her body and looked at the west from a high vantage point. “Brother Yu, did you see it?”
“I didn’t.” Chen Yu began to organize his equipment. “I just felt that it was coming.”
“Ah…” The girl was at a loss.
Kacha.
After checking the remaining four bullets in the Magnum revolver, Chen Yu opened the safety and looked at Bahuang Yao. “I was on the city wall when the Beast Tide of Qingcheng came. They came at dawn.”
“You… You weren’t evacuated at that time?”
Chen Yu shrugged and didn’t answer. Instead, he took out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the girl. “Do you want to smoke?”
“…No.”
“You might die later. Are you sure you don’t want to smoke?”
“No.”
“You have principles, good girl.” Chen Yu nodded and stuffed two cigarettes into his mouth, lighting them up together. “After fighting with the Beast Tide, you listen to my command and follow me closely.”
“Okay.”
“Do you know how to use a knife?”
“Yes.”
“Here.” Chen Yu exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably and handed King Ren’s katana to the young girl. “Take it. This thing is very powerful.”
“I wanted to ask you before.” The young girl took the katana and subconsciously looked at King Ren not far away. “This sword, it belongs to that Japanese, right?”
“It’s ours now.”
When King Ren heard this, he immediately looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu: “What are you looking at?”
King Ren: “…Nothing.”
Looking at the other party’s pitiful look, Bahuang Yao was a little hesitant. “Brother Yu, isn’t this not too good?”
“There’s nothing bad about it. I didn’t snatch it either. In order to save his life, he’s willing to give it to me. This is just a transaction. Also…”
As he said this, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and adjusted the posture of a young girl hanging a knife. “This is a knife, not a Tai knife. The blade should be facing upwards. Why is there no culture?”
Bahuang Yao: “Oh oh!”
King Ren: “…”
Turning the blade of the scabbard slightly upwards, Bahuang Yao looked at Chen Yu in surprise. “Brother Yu, so you know a lot about the Japanese sword culture?”
Chen Yu pressed his hands together. “A little bit, a little bit.”
King Ren: “…”
Beep!
Beep! Beep!
At this moment, a siren sounded behind them.
The students of Area B11 turned around and saw a few military transport vehicles approaching.
Bang.
The vehicles stopped. An officer got out of the vehicle and closed the door. He saluted everyone and said, “The vehicles are equipped with thermal weapons. Everyone, help unload them. Through the observation of the drones, the Beast Tide is coming. Please speed up.”
The students of Beijing University looked at each other and immediately went forward.
“Don’t take too many. The hot weapons in each area are limited. We still have to send them to Area C11.”
The officer took out a document and followed the table, he read quickly, “Area B11, 20 individual small nuclear bombs; 4 launchers; 220 high explosive grenades; 8 high-speed airborne Vulcan cannons, 15 boxes of bullets; 30 penetrating crossbows, 300 explosive crossbows, 300 white phosphorous crossbows, 300 penetrating crossbows; 100 heavy type 92 pistols, 4 boxes of high explosive dumdums; one huge cannon…”
“Chen Yu, come up and give me a hand. This thing is a little heavy.” On the carriage, Liu Wei waved at Chen Yu and pointed to a large cannon barrel in front of him.
“Ok.”
Chen Yu stepped forward with a cigarette in his mouth.
The two of them raised their heads and placed the huge cannon at the mouth of the city wall.
“This thing is quite big.” Chen Yu sized it up. “Is the firepower fierce?”
“Yes.” Liu Wei nodded. He took out five round cannonballs from the car. “Inside are highly concentrated martial arts energy circuits. If you hit it head-on, it won’t be a problem for you to destroy a Level 6 exotic beast with one shot.”
“Tsk… Awesome.”
“Other equipment, not to mention the heavy Type 92. What else can you use?”
“Give me a set of individual small nuclear bombs.” Chen Yu said.
“If you use small nuclear bombs, you won’t be able to use the Vulcan cannon. After all, these two weapons are too big.”
“I want nuclear bombs.”
“Okay, there’s more.”
Chen Yu turned his head and asked Bahuang Yao, “This military crossbow seems pretty good. Do you know how to use a crossbow?”
“I do.” The girl nodded.
“What else don’t you know?”
Bahuang Yao stood on her tiptoes and seriously glanced at the many weapons. “I know everything.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“The members of the Bahuang family have been learning these things since they were young.” Liu Wei spread his hands. “The same goes for the Bahuang Yi. Cold weapons, hot weapons, explosives, poison, bomb disposal, reconnaissance… There’s nothing that they don’t know how to do.”
“Poison?”
Hearing the keywords, Chen Yu’s eyes lit up. “Xiao Yao, you can also poison?”
“I can… I can…”
“Is there anything suitable for me?”
Bahuang Yao: “???”
“I’m wrong. Is there anything suitable for me to learn?”
“If you want to learn, I can teach you…”
Pa.
Chen Yu put his palms together in excitement. “Should I say it or not? It’s really hard to find a wife who knows how to poison.”
“Oh.” The girl’s face instantly flushed red as she lowered her head shyly.
Liu Wei: “…A wife who can poison… isn’t Pan Jinlian one of them?”
Chen Yu: “That’s right. How rare is a wife like that?”
Liu Wei: “…”
After a moment of silence, Liu Wei pulled away from Chen Yu and returned to Chun Lei’s side.
Chun Lei was distributing bullets to everyone. When she saw Liu Wei walking over, she said in surprise, “Why aren’t you chatting anymore? Didn’t you say that you wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Yu?”
Liu Wei: “…My mother has told me since I was young to stay away from those who are not in good spirits.”
Chun Lei: “…”
Very soon, the distribution of firearms was completed.
The military officer continued to drive the transport vehicle to Area C11.
When the convoy drove away, a middle-aged woman in a red robe walked over.
“Area B11, all personnel…”
The woman swept her gaze across everyone and shouted, “Gather!”
“I am the leader of your team. There’s no need for me to introduce myself. Anyway, the chances of surviving in the future are not high, and my name is meaningless. You can just call me captain.”
Everyone: “Captain.”
“You should have guessed it.” The woman took off her hood, and her expression was cold. “Because I have good talent, I was assigned to the edge of the city wall, so the danger is much lower. However, this doesn’t mean that the country wants to protect you.”
“When the Beast Tide arrives, there is no one to protect! When it’s time to go up, you have to charge even more fiercely!”
“If anyone disobeys orders and steps back, I will directly chop him into eight pieces!”
After saying that, she took out a name list from her bosom. “Now, Let’s start the roll call. Number 1, Chen Yu.”
Chen Yu raised his hand. “Yes.”
“Call!”
“Here!”
“Number 2, Duan Ye.”
“…” Everyone fell silent.
Frowning slightly, the woman looked around. “Where’s Duan Ye?”
“Idiot!” Chen Yu suddenly kicked King Ren’s butt. “She’s calling you!”
“Oh… I’m here!”
“…” The woman gave King Ren a deep look. “Whoever is slow to react, jump off the city wall. Number 3, Bahuang Yao.”
“Here!”
“No. 4, * * …”
…
Unknowingly.
The sky was already completely bright.
When the hands of the clock reached a special scale, the earth faintly shook.
Wu wu wu —
The shrill air defense alarm instantly rang throughout the city.
On the city wall, tens of thousands of martial artists became alert and looked to the west at the same time.
There was still no sign of the sea of beasts on the other side.
But the trembling of the ground was getting more and more intense…
“…”
With both hands on the city wall, Chen Yu’s face was ugly.
As a martial artist who had experienced the Beast Tide once, he had more experience.
When the Beast Tide of Qingcheng came, at least the earth began to shake after they saw the exotic beasts clearly.
At this time, the Beast Tide was still far away from the city wall, and an ‘earthquake’ happened…
“Comrades!”
Behind the city wall, dozens of loudspeakers said at the same time, “I, Qinghai Li, the leader of the martial arts world. I am also the commander of this battle.”
“As you can see, the Beast Tide has arrived.”
“Humans, now we only have one chance. If we fail, we will have nothing.”
“No words can describe the greatness of this battle.”
“The life and death of tens of millions of people in the capital, and the fate of billions of people in the world, are bound to each and every one of us.”
“I love my people, love my race, love every human who has the same genes as me.”
“Because when the real disaster comes, only we are one.”
“We are willing to sacrifice everything for our kind.”
“As the only two Level 9 martial artists in the human race, I, Qinghai Li, cannot guarantee too much. I can only promise that I will use my life to pay tribute to your glory.”
“Thank you.”
After the broadcast, the city wall fell into a short silence.
Chen Yu turned back and looked at the loudspeaker car behind him. His emotions were inexplicably touched.
True emotional output usually didn’t require too many fancy words.
Li Qinghai’s simple words made everyone feel the power within.
Half a minute later, the sound of Li Qinghai taking a deep breath came from dozens of Boeing cars…
“Everyone, lie down.”
Crash —
Tens of thousands of people were lying on the ground.
“The first round of bombing, launch!”
…
“Authority command input, hole, hole, two, turn, hook…”
“Authority command input, hole, hole…”
“Authority command…”
At the same time, the artillery positions and missile squads of different cities pressed the launch button at the same time.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
Rockets shot into the sky one after another!
After separating the thrusters, they entered space and changed their direction. Like the arrival of a comet, they whizzed over…
Bang…
Bang…
Bang…
The conductors fell off one by one. In the end, only the warheads and the base of each missile were left. Under the intense friction with the atmosphere, they glowed and heated up…
…
On the city wall in the west of the capital.
Everyone waited for less than two minutes before hundreds of flowing lights descended from the sky.
“Everyone! Get down!”
From the broadcast came another man’s shout.
Only Chen Yu dared to lie down at the crevice and look forward without blinking.
The next moment, at the end of the line of sight, under the precise calculation of the computer, hundreds of warheads exploded at the same time!
Light…
Lit up silently.
The world changed colors.
Even the sun in the sky dimmed in an instant.
[Vision damage: Temporary Vision +126%; Permanent Static Vision +241; Permanent Dynamic Vision +207; Visual Cell Activity +145…]
[Vision damage: Temporary Vision +94%; Permanent Static Vision +179…]
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu saw more clearly.
Mushroom clouds rose up at the limit of the horizon.
The earth was crumbling.
The sky was tearing apart.
They were echoing each other and entangling each other. Under the unstable principle of Rayleigh Taylor, they formed a ‘beautiful’ picture that was difficult to describe with words.
Circles of white clouds shrank at first and then quickly spread out.
One layer after another.
One circle after another…
After an unknown amount of time, a breeze blew in his face. Chen Yu tensed up and immediately dropped down!
Boom…
Boom —
Eardrums of the loud, long overdue!
Everyone felt a chill in their chest…
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom…
Half a minute later, the blast wave passed.
They sat up and shook off the layers of earth.
However, before the warriors began to talk to each other, there was a commander’s shout from behind: “All, get down!”
“Second round of bombardment! Fire!”
“…”
“…”
Boom!!!
…
“Everybody, get down!”
“Third round of bombardment! Fire!”
“…”
“…”
Rumble…
…
“Everybody! Get down!”
“Fourth round! Fire!”
…
“Round five, fire!”
…
“Round six, fire!”
…
A country’s many years of accumulation had been squandered at this moment.
The white clouds that exploded in the sky had never dissipated from the start.
Nuclear bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and even the anti-matter annihilation bombs that had just been researched were all flawless.
However, due to the distance, the martial artists on the city walls did not know how the results of the battle were.
“Did… Did we win?”
Patting her clothes, Bahuang Yao stood up with a dusty face. “There seems to be no movement.”
“This saturated attack was indeed very fierce.” Chen Yu sighed. “But if the Beast Tide was so easily suppressed by thermal weapons, so many people would not have died.”
Rumble…
As expected, not long after Chen Yu finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently again.
Between the heaven and earth, an almost endless ‘ocean’ slowly attacked…
“The bombing is over!”
In the broadcast, Li Qinghai’s voice was cold. “Begin the shelling!”
“The first round of shelling, fire!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
As soon as her voice fell, along with a series of sharp whistling sounds, tens of thousands of arc-shaped light rays cut through the sky and smashed onto the ‘ocean’.
Boom!
Boom! Boom…
The closer they got, the clearer Chen Yu could see.
Those exotic beasts that were the size of ‘small shrimps’ were all vaporized under the high temperature of modern hot weapons!
It was almost a bloody scene…
“The second round of cannon fire, fire!”
“The third round, fire!”
“The fourth round…”
“The fifth round…”
“…”
“The twentieth round, fire!!”
Words could no longer describe the scene in front of them.
In the world, there were only balls of burning fireballs and wisps of spreading black smoke.
On the city wall, the warriors were already dumbstruck.
After decades of martial arts development, they had vaguely forgotten what was the strength that humans used to be proud of and relied on for their livelihood…
“No wonder the capital only supported more than a thousand cannons during the Beast Tide in Qingcheng…” Chen Yu spat out a mouthful of sand and licked his lips. “So they were all saved up for use at this time.”
Ten minutes later.
The cannon fire stopped.
The originally flat wasteland in the west was now riddled with holes from the explosions.
Bang!
At this moment, in the middle of the city wall, a man flew high into the sky and pressed his palms together. A terrifying pressure spread out.
Hu hu —
In the next moment, a strong wind blew across the entire capital, blowing away the thick smoke in the distance.
However, when the smoke dispersed, the hearts of the tens of thousands of warriors on the city wall sank at the same time…
Because the ‘sea of beasts’ in the distance was still vast, overwhelming, and dense like a huge insect disaster.
From the beginning, it covered the entire field of vision until now… it was still endless..
“Why…” Bahuang Yao’s figure was dazed for a moment. “Why isn’t it working…”
“…”
Chen Yu was silent. He reached out and touched the bricks under his feet. “It’s working. The Beast Tide is getting closer, but the tremors are getting smaller. At least half of the Beast Tide has been eliminated…”
Clang!
After saying that, Chen Yu pulled out his long sword and carried the nuclear weapon on his left shoulder. “The rest is up to us.”
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the commander’s roar sounded from the dozens of loudspeakers. “Everyone, pay attention! Prepare for battle!”
“Martial Arts Team 1, go!”
“Martial Arts Team 2, stand by.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
The city walls were filled with the sound of explosions.
A hundred-man team made up of Level 6 martial mages charged out of the wall.
The battle between man and Beast had officially entered a melee…
