Oh, I see!
Yu Yanhui nodded in realization.
"Let's talk about the beast tide," Lin Zhaoran, her voice slightly somber.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling nodded slightly.
"What do you think of this beast tide?" Lin Zhaoran asked.
"The highest level, according to the notice issued by the base before, is more than two thousand Calamity Beast for level one, five thousand for level two, and level three, which is the highest level, is about eight thousand, right?" Yu Yanhui.
"Yes, Level 3 alert, above 8,000." Lin Zhaoran nodded in confirmation.
Han Ling glanced at the two of them, then turned her head to look at the seemingly still calm mountain shadows in the distance.
"The actual number is probably close to ten thousand!"
"Nearly ten thousand?" Yu Yanhui looked at Han Ling with slightly widened eyes. "Did Shen Heng say that?"
Lin Zhaoran was also looking at Han Ling.
"Hmm," Han Ling nodded, "The exact quantity might vary slightly, but it shouldn't be too much off."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Nearly ten thousand..." Yu Yanhui repeated subconsciously, then couldn't help but say nervously.
"So, at our base, with all our combat personnel including ourselves, how many do we really have? Can we hold them off?"
"It's hard to say, but I'm afraid they'll be difficult to deal with," Lin Zhaoran a deep voice.
Nearly ten thousand—this number is probably not much less than the number of Calamity Beast that have appeared in a single province since the Blue Star and the Ruins Realm overlapped.
You have to understand, that was accumulated over more than ten years!
Now, so many have appeared in just a few days!
Yu Yanhui nodded gravely.
She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she heard a series of sharp "whoosh" sounds coming from behind her.
Yu Yanhui her head in confusion and saw several beams of white light rising slowly in her field of vision.
At this moment, everyone on the city wall...
Whether they were talking, checking equipment, or resting with their eyes closed, everyone turned their heads at that moment, looking in the direction of the sound.
One after another, meteors trailing fiery white tails shot fiercely toward the sky.
Han Ling stood on the city wall, her gaze slowly moving along with the shooting stars.
Was this the reason Shen Heng was sent over...?
At the edge of the wilderness, in the mountains covered in black snow.
The massive beast tide moved forward rapidly, like an undercurrent.
Disorderly, screaming, but all kept within a certain limit.
The surging, dark torrent moved forward silently and swiftly.
On the side of the hillside, a huge, ape-like Calamity Beast with bone spurs on its back stood silently.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense something and turned to look at the horizon.
There, a dozen or so points of light, trailing dazzling contrails, were hurtling through the air at a speed beyond their comprehension, accompanied by a chilling shriek.
Its eyes narrowed slightly as it silently gazed at the individual points of light.
The point of light rapidly approached, but it didn't fall towards it; instead, it fell several kilometers away.
However, just as the point of light was about to land, a figure suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the point of light in mid-air.
"Boom--"
The fireball lit up, but it wasn't very big.
It didn't cause much damage to the Calamity Beast; it merely blasted it away.
But at that moment, the other points of light fell down, and then...
There was no deafening roar.
The first thing to appear was a tiny, intensely white Sun that seemed to appear out of nowhere!
The Sun expanded instantly, illuminating that area completely.
"Boom--"
The enormous explosion finally reached us at that moment.
Suppressed by it were the relatively quieter explosions and the even quieter, more shrill screams.
Then, a second, a third... and more " Sun " bloomed one after another in different areas of the beast tide!
The giant ape frowned slightly and raised its eyes.
Then, beams of light came again, seemingly targeting its location.
Far apart from these points of light, other points of light were also approaching from afar.
Without a roar, the giant ape silently walked away.
The enormous hand reached out and grabbed a panicked, fleeing Tier 2 Calamity Beast.
Raise your other hand, close it, and then...
"Woo, click click..."
A chilling sound of bones grinding together came from its palm.
The Calamity Beast let out a single mournful howl before falling completely silent.
Ignoring the terrified looks in the eyes of the other Calamity Beast nearby, the giant ape slowly raised its hand.
With bulging muscles, his arm swung outwards at an incredible speed incongruous with his massive body.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One after another, chunks of blood mixed with flesh and bone shot out, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, precisely meeting the deadly points of light that were rapidly falling.
The next moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
First, a series of small explosions lit up the sky.
But soon, accompanied by an explosion as bright as the one before, a huge fireball appeared out of thin air.
The nuclear warhead was detonated in mid-air, and the shockwave immediately spread downwards.
However, because it was detonated prematurely, some distance from the ground, and its explosive yield was not high.
The shockwave blasted away low-level Calamity Beast in the area below. Although many Calamity Beast were killed by the shockwave, it was nothing compared to what happened in the previous area.
"Boom! Boom--"
Explosions came one after another from a distance.
The giant ape frowned, its thick, yellow pupils scanning its surroundings as if trying to confirm something.
After a moment, it withdrew its gaze and looked at the Calamity Beast beside it, whose eyes revealed fear, and opened its mouth.
"Roar--"
Underground command center.
Shen Heng lowered his eyes slightly, listening to the sounds coming from the distance.
"How is the situation?" the slightly overweight officer asked.
Shen Heng raised his eyes, looked at the crowd staring intently at him, and said:
"It's effective, but not as effective as we imagined. Many explosions were intercepted in the air, so the damage..."
Shen Heng listened to the sounds around him and made a rough judgment before saying:
"It's probably close to two thousand!"
"Nearly two thousand? Doesn't that mean there are still eight thousand left?" the old general asked, frowning.
" The Calamity Beast were already quite scattered, and in addition... it's probably because of the interception by high-level Calamity Beast, which has led to the current situation," Shen Heng said.
"High-level Calamity Beast, intercept them? Can fifth or sixth-level beasts already stop nuclear missiles?" Zhang Weijun frowned slightly, glancing at the staff officer beside him.
"The distance between the two sides is too short. It's only forty kilometers from the base to the target location. This distance is far from enough to support a missile carrying a nuclear warhead to reach its maximum speed," the staff officer explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weijun nodded slightly and looked away.
Only two thousand Calamity Beast were reduced, leaving eight thousand. This number is still not easy for the base to handle in its current state.
