The large screen at the command central showed the aerial view of the wasteland taken by the drones. The ground was shaking and the Ancient Seal web was flickering.
The video signal also seemed to be interfered with. The image became blurry, and the radio became chaotic. The drone's buzzing became even more ear-piercing and noisy.
Mysterium had warned them about the possibility of the ritual counterattack. Tong Ye, Yao Sinian and the rest wanted to do something but for now they could only watch calmly and give new orders. All departments and posts were ready for action. Fighter jets, missiles, and so on were already in place.
"Ritual counterattack! Stop! Stop!" The voice of the Mysterium drone came through the broadcast.
At the same time, the voice was transmitted to the 7 members of The One. All 7 of them had their hands on the cleansing stone. Their faces were flushed and the veins on the back of their hands were bulging like they were about to burst through their skin.
The glaring Ancient Seal web was draining their mental power.
Everyone could see that all 7 of them were fighting for their lives. The 7 Icebreaker members from Mysterium World were probably doing the same.
But the ritual must be very powerful. It would not be easy to stop the counterattack.
Wang Ruoxiang widened her eyes slightly. At this moment, she really wished that she could be there to contribute. If she could not do anything in the ward or the operating room, she would be at the frontline of the battle, just like Gu Jun.
Suddenly her eyes widened because she saw something on the screen. "That, that is …"
Wang Ruoxiang hoped it was just her imagination. She had mistaken a blade of grass for a snake but the others saw it too. The ground at the wasteland turned into a whirlpool. Some soil was sinking while others were flying. Something was breaking out from the ground.
Bang! Those who could hear the live audio suddenly felt as if their ears were about to explode.
In the audio file recorded by the radio station, the audio lines fluctuated violently like crazy. The decibel and frequency appeared to be in disorder. A strange howl came out from the vortex of the earth.
It sounded like the bloodthirsty scream of a mountain elf, or the howl of an evil spirit that had been lurking in the abyss of hell for a long time.
This howl made the heart of the radio operator, who was wearing the headphones, twitch violently. His face turned red as he fell to the side. The people around saw the abnormality and immediately called for help. The medical personnel on standby in the command center immediately rushed forward to rescue him. It was a cardiac arrest, the cause of which was temporarily unknown. It should be caused by the impact of the howl.
The others who heard the howl were also affected to varying degrees. They felt dizzy, nauseous, and sweaty …
Tong Ye, Yao Sinian, and the other older decision-makers might have been the ones who needed emergency treatment if it weren't for the fact that they were part of the communications team.
They had only heard it from afar, and the roar already had such power. What was the situation at the frontlines now?
Just now, when the howling explosion sounded, all the video signals at the front line were cut off. It was unknown whether it was a signal transmission problem or a problem with the equipment.
However, everyone already knew that some kind of beast had rushed out of the ground. It wasn't the Subterrain Giant Worm, Conqueror Worm Larva, or anything else they had faced before, but something else, something that could howl like a hurricane.
"Abnormal lifeforms discovered!"
"Open fire! Open fire!"
Gunshots rang out from different directions.
The howl caused damage to the frontlines as well, but these Special Mobile Force Elites were stronger than normal people in both mind and body, so they were able to hold on for now.
"… The enemy is very fast, and their senses are all over the place. We can't hit them!"
"They seem to know which direction we will shoot from …"
"The enemy can fly!"
"The enemy is invisible! The enemy is invisible! "
The audio signals from the seven locations were still working. Some reports and combat noises kept coming, and it was like a thunderstorm weighing down on the command center.
Elder Tong could not help but scratch his head with both hands. Damn the signal, this broken signal, why is it still not back up?
From the anxious descriptions from the people at the scene, the command center obtained a picture. There were three abnormal creatures that appeared, and they were all of the same species. They were strange and large, each as tall as a two-story building. They looked like water worms, but they were made from a bunch of polyps.
They had long bodies, and at the bottom of their bodies was a ghastly mouth. Their bodies were covered in messy tentacles.
The people at the scene could not see any wings on their bodies. Initially, they thought they were some kind of abnormal creature like the subterrain giant worm.
The three giant monsters soared into the sky with their wingless bodies. They rose to a height of ten meters, a hundred meters, and a few hundred meters without any obstacles. It was as if they could fly to a height of ten thousand meters without any problems. Their terrifying tentacles fluttered like wings.
"We can't see any organs on their surface!" Lou Xiaoning said anxiously. "No eyes, no mouth …"
They had no eyes or anything like that, not even a dot could be seen.
However, these seemingly blind creatures displayed shocking senses. Like a fly that could sense whether someone was trying to swat it or not through the airflow, it was able to avoid most attacks. These abnormal creatures treated the bullets that came at them like flies swatting at them. Combined with their incredible speed, they were not hit at all.
Guns, the powerful weapons that humans possessed, were not a threat to them.
However, what surprised the frontline personnel the most was that they suddenly disappeared into thin air. They did not even have enough time to react before the three creatures suddenly appeared in other positions. This happened a few times before their eyes finally caught sight of them.
Before they disappeared, their bodies glowed for a very brief moment before they turned transparent.
However, the time was too short for human eyes to discern what was inside their bodies.
Therefore, this was not a coincidence, it was something they could control. Perhaps it was the power of the ritual, or perhaps they were naturally invisible.
"The last thing I saw from the illusion on the poster was them …" Deng Ximei made another report. "Flying polypus hydroids, it's them …"
Flying polypus hydroids? That was a rather descriptive title.
But how were these flying polypus hydroids related to the Locust Sickness and the Flying Locust?
When they turned transparent, it was similar to the self-destructing heads of the Flying Locust members. Was this the 'God' that the Flying Locust worshipped?
"We have no intel and this is our first contact with them!" Mysterium's drone reported.
"Let's call them flying polypus hydroids then." Tong Ye said urgently, "Where are they now? Can we still see them? Can we lock on to them with the missiles?! "
At the same time, another scream came from the frontline. Lou Xiaoning cursed, "F * ck, more worms are coming out from the ground, there are so many of them …"
