In fact, the attack on Hope City had already begun even before they received the notification.
Now was not the time of peace. Whether it was the frontline battlefields or the cities behind them, they were always in a state of combat readiness. The response to any emergency was quite astonishing.
Before the two level eight creatures landed on the ground, the air defense system in every corner of Hope City had already responded in time. In an instant, countless anti-aircraft cannons were like the flaming whips of the Grim Reaper, instantly hitting the two giant beasts that were falling from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the two giant beasts had turned into a huge fireball.
However, such a violent attack did not have much of an effect.
The evolution of a level eight creature was all-rounded. Other than having a strong body, it had also reached a very high level of energy utilization. Almost every creature had a protective force field. It might not have much of an effect on an opponent of the same level as it would still be injured. However, it was impossible to break through the anti-aircraft cannons in a short period of time. Although it looked like it had turned into a fireball, it was actually like scratching an itch.
The size of this giant beast was shockingly huge.
The Blue Dragon had a diameter of about 20 meters and a length of about 170 to 180 meters. Its weight was at least tens of thousands of tons.
On the other hand, the giant bird did not have wings that could cover the sky. When it stood up, it was already 70 to 80 meters tall. Of course, as a flying creature, it was undoubtedly lighter. However, no matter how light it was, it still weighed about three to four thousand tons.
The two of them tumbled down from the sky like two mountains crashing down on the ground.
"Boom!" A large chemical factory in Hope City that occupied an area of thousands of acres was turned into ruins. At the same time, there was a violent explosion, and the fire rose to the sky. Unfortunately, such an explosion was obviously not enough to completely kill these two terrifying giant beasts.
The next moment, these two giant beasts struggled to crawl out of the fire and thick smoke. They each ran for their lives. The fire near them was greatly disturbed, jumping, twisting, and automatically extinguished as their bodies got closer.
At this time, during the process of falling, these two giant beasts had completely separated.
The serious injury made the giant bird unable to continue hunting the Blue Dragon. Its feathers were completely vaporized by the strong radiation of the hydrogen bomb, and even its skin had become charred. A large amount of pus and blood, like melted oil, kept dripping from its body. Its eyes were already cloudy, and obviously, it was completely blind.
The Blue Dragon was not much better off. It was already injured before the hydrogen bomb exploded. Without the protection of its scales, its injuries were even more serious. Some of its internal organs were almost cooked.
If it were an ordinary creature, such a serious injury would have killed them long ago. However, they could still struggle and move, and as time passed, their injuries gradually improved.
Level eight lifeforms all had energy cores within their bodies. As long as they didn't suffer any fatal injuries that couldn't be healed or their brains were directly destroyed, no matter how serious the injuries were, they could still slowly recover under the active energy's recovery.
Because it happened too fast and too abruptly, the nearby factories didn't have time to get the news. They only thought it was a sudden accident. Some factories even spontaneously organized workers to carry out production rescue.
In just a few minutes, a large number of workers had already filled the streets with buckets of water, fire extinguishers, and even small carts filled with sand.
Human nature is selfish, but sometimes it is also great.
In the past two years, the Reconstruction Area had experienced countless pain and crises, but they survived time and time again. It was not only because of the large number of sacrificed soldiers at the frontline, but also because of the various advanced weapons. Moreover, it was also because of the ordinary people who worked day and night without caring about the gains and losses. The people today were more united, more disciplined, and more aware than before the apocalypse.
Unfortunately, what they were about to face was not a raging fire, nor was it a reactor that could explode at any time. Instead, it was two terrifying giant beasts that had just escaped from the nuclear bomb.
The ground was shaking rhythmically, and it was accompanied by the loud sounds of buildings collapsing from time to time. Slowly, an indescribably horrifying aura gradually spread out. The workers on the street were getting slower and slower.
An inexplicable sense of panic quietly spread in their hearts.
In the beginning, the aura was very faint. Although the group of workers felt that something was wrong, they still walked towards the factory that had the accident. However, the aura soon became stronger and thicker. Everyone started to feel nervous, and they could only feel waves of palpitation.
When the group of people walked past a corner, everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks. "Buzz." Their minds went blank.
There were basically no walls in the factories during the apocalypse. As a reactor that was more than a hundred meters high was hit by something, it slowly fell down. Suddenly, the field of vision immediately opened up.
Everyone immediately saw an unimaginably huge body slowly shuttling between the factory buildings.
How thick was a Blue Dragon that was more than 20 meters thick? The height of a normal building was only three meters high, and a 20 meters tall building was seven to eight floors high. In front of it, a normal level six mutated beast could be swallowed in one bite. Even a level seven mutated beast would only need two to three bites.
Even at this time, it was still giving people a great sense of oppression, even though it was still two to three kilometers away.
What was even more terrifying was that it was winding its way towards them.
This had nothing to do with whether one was brave or not. Humans had a natural sense of fear towards large creatures. This was determined by generations of genetic screening for millions of years. Those who dared to challenge such a creature had already died in the process of proving themselves. There was no chance of leaving their genes behind.
Moreover, this was not an ordinary creature at all.
The heavily injured Blue Dragon seemed to be moving slowly, but it was just a visual illusion of humans towards large creatures. Its huge body determined that even if it was just slowly wriggling, its speed was still quite shocking.
In the few seconds that the crowd was stunned, it was already close to a kilometer away.
The crowd came back to their senses and suddenly there was a commotion. At this time, the factories that were still able to turn around and run for their lives were already considered brave. However, there were even more people who were frightened by this terrifying aura. Their bodies were stiff as if they were in a nightmare. Although they desperately wanted to escape, their bodies did not listen to them at all.
When the two were only 500 meters apart, the terrifying aura had already materialized.
The air became restless and the magnetic field on the ground was in a severe disorder. Even the high-voltage electric tower next to them was instantly struck by an electric arc and short-circuited. The people on the street were all paralyzed. They were all foaming at the mouth and their bodies were unnaturally convulsing. Some of the workers were even scared to death.
...
After receiving the phone call, the headquarters of the Defense Division in Hope City also felt a headache and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
This was something that had never happened before. How could a level eight creature enter Hope City? Moreover, there were two of them. Fortunately, the two level eight creatures were already seriously injured.
Hope City was not an ordinary city. It was an important industrial center of the reconstruction area and a rocket launching base. Therefore, the defensive power that was deployed here was quite strong. Not to mention the various ordinary weapons.
There were more than 20 electromagnetic cannons that were newly developed since the apocalypse. At the same time, there was also a nuclear-powered electromagnetic tank that could be used as a mobile weapon.
However, the space of the city was complicated and there were a large number of buildings blocking the way. Apart from being fearless of the loss of their firepower, it was almost impossible to use the kinetic weapons that were fixed on the city walls.
The only thing that could be used was the nuclear-powered electromagnetic tank and many other tanks and armored vehicles.
In the tense atmosphere, battle orders were quickly issued and the air defense alarm was immediately sounded in the sky above the city.
A large number of workers quickly evacuated from the ground. In less than 15 minutes, the entire surface city was completely empty. Even the workers who were on the first floor of the underground were evacuated to the remaining few floors.
At the same time, a large number of tanks, rocket launchers, and armored vehicles, including the nuclear-powered electromagnetic tank, quickly drove onto the streets.
The nuclear-powered electromagnetic tank was like a land cruiser. Its huge size almost occupied the entire four-lane road. As it drove past, the cement ground on the streets began to crack.
The actions of Hope City could be said to be fast.
However, the recovery ability of the two level eight creatures was even faster. In the beginning, they could only move slowly and were almost struggling to move forward. However, as time passed, the charred parts on their bodies began to fall off, revealing new skin.
The wounds on their bodies were rapidly healing. Their movement speed was getting faster, and their movements were getting smoother.
Wherever the two giant creatures passed, a large number of factories collapsed and the machines were destroyed. Some of the ground could not even withstand the terrifying weight of the two giant creatures and there was a large area of collapse. Tens of thousands of tons of boulders and soil fell to the first floor of the underground.
Fortunately, most of the factories had been evacuated, so there were not many deaths.
As the giant bird was close to the military camp, it was the first to encounter a tank unit.
It was a team of 12 tanks that attacked.
The battle started immediately. More than 10 artillery shells whistled through the air and flew at the giant bird from a few hundred meters away.
It was already completely blind, but it could instinctively sense the danger. With an agility that did not match its huge body, it jumped lightly and avoided all the cannonballs. Then, it screeched in the direction where the cannonballs came from. The sound was impassioned and sharp, and it had an extremely terrifying penetrating power. A circle of substantial ripples appeared in the air, and wherever it passed, a cloud of smoke and dust exploded.
More than 10 tanks suddenly lost control. Some of them crashed into each other, some of them drove straight into the nearby factories and broke through the walls like bulls … They never came back. The soldiers in the tanks were all killed in an instant.
The explosion of the shells had created a loud noise, which made the already frightened giant bird even more uneasy. It was a Level Eight lifeform from the outside, so it had no concept of humans or the Reconstruction Area. However, the continuous encounters had made it decide that it had to leave this terrifying area as soon as possible.
Its bald wings kept flapping, and it raised its head and screeched again and again. A strong wave of energy was emitted from its body. Under the sunlight, there seemed to be a beautiful halo around it.
It looked mysterious and shocking.
Gradually, its body began to float and slowly flew towards the sky. However, when it was less than 10 meters away from the ground, an electromagnetic gun that was red due to the friction with the air hit its body.
It screeched and fell to the ground again. Its chest was badly mutilated, and there was a big hole that was more than half a meter wide caused by the electromagnetic gun. Blood gushed out like a fountain. It was shaken by the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic gun, and it rolled a few times. It stood up in shock and anger.
The wound on its body was unbelievably big for a human, but it was just a small wound when compared to its huge body that was 70 to 80 meters tall. However, the intense pain in its body and the uneasiness in its heart made it extremely manic.
It turned its head to look at the direction of the attack, and its ears clearly heard a loud noise that it had never heard before coming from afar.
It screeched angrily, and the next moment, its two feet that were more than 30 meters tall and five to six meters wide quickly moved towards the direction of the attack.
It was like a super bulldozer, and along the way, countless buildings that were in its way were easily knocked down by it. The driver of the tank that was sitting on the nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun was stunned. The gun barrel kept moving, but it could not lock on to such a high-speed target.
What was more serious was that every shot of the electromagnetic gun required a large amount of energy, and it needed a few minutes of charging time, so it could not continue to fire at high speed.
However, in less than a minute, the giant bird had already traveled three to four kilometers, and its huge claws pressed heavily on the nuclear-powered tank.
As a giant bird that could lift a Blue Dragon that weighed tens of thousands of tons, its own strength was also rather terrifying. Under its furious attack, only an ear-piercing screech of metal could be heard. This massive object that was equipped with heavy armor caved in completely.
That was not the end of it. The giant bird might have regarded it as an ordinary opponent, and then it pecked hard. The speed of this attack was even faster than the electromagnetic gun, and it was more than ten times the speed of sound.
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the entire nuclear-powered tank was instantly torn apart, and its parts were flying everywhere. As for the soldiers inside, they were already dead.
…
The commander of the defense division looked at the surveillance screen, and his face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
The commander of the defense division was holding the phone tightly with his trembling hand, "… The two level eight mutated beasts are recovering rapidly, and the situation is deteriorating rapidly. Our division has suffered a lot of losses … The nuclear-powered tank has been destroyed … We need reinforcements as soon as possible, or else Hope City will be finished."
The commander of the defense division put down the phone, and his lips were still trembling.
"Commander, what should we do now?" An officer asked anxiously.
The commander struggled for a moment, and he walked back and forth a few steps. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fire all the cannons immediately, and blast away all the buildings that are in the way. Make way for the electromagnetic gun."
"But, Hope City will suffer a great loss if we do that." Someone said hesitantly.
"We can't care so much anymore, when the reinforcements arrive, everything will be over."
…
On the other side, the Firearms Bureau team from Hope City had also arrived at the scene on the other side. However, facing the terrifying Blue Dragon, they could not even get close to it. The aura that it emitted was like a spiritual storm, and even though they were hundreds of meters away, it was enough to paralyze them, and they lost all their courage.
A few of the team members hid at the corner of the wall, and their faces turned pale as they looked at the huge body that was slithering across the street.
"Commander, we really need to kill it, I think … it's a little difficult!" Xie Junhui said with a trembling voice.
"Yeah, this kind of creature is not something we can deal with at all," Li Dong also chimed in.
Lin Feiyan was a woman, and she was also afraid of the snake-like creature. However, as the captain, how could she fight it? "Wait, let's observe it first!"
After a while, the Blue Dragon gradually moved away, and the oppressive aura gradually dissipated. Everyone was relieved.
"If only my master was here." Fang Peibin said softly.
"I heard that Boss Luo is already the deputy minister, that's amazing!" Xu Zhiqiang said.
"I think so, I have a few friends in the headquarters of the Firearms Bureau. I heard that Brother Luo defeated Minister Ling. When I told them that Brother Luo is from our team, many of them did not believe me." Wu Qianru said. Her eyes were blinking, and her face was full of admiration. She used to be a reserve in the headquarters of the Firearms Bureau, so she was relatively well-informed.
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Lin Feiyan, who was in front of them, subconsciously stood up and clenched her fists. Luo Yuan had now become the devil in her heart. Although he had left the Firearms Bureau in Hope City, and she was now in control of the entire department, Luo Yuan's imprint was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
Looking at the terrifying giant beast that was almost out of sight, Lin Feiyan wanted to rush over and prove herself. However, her legs were weak, and it seemed like they were rooted to the ground, making her stay at the corner.
At this moment, she subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky. Suddenly, she saw a small dot falling from the sky. Its speed was simply unimaginable. Even though she was infinitely far away, she couldn't see this small dot with the naked eye. In a flash, it disappeared from her sight.
"What's that?"
