"Listen, there seems to be a sound in the ruins?" A nervous young warrior standing guard at the entrance pricked up his ears and said to his companions.
"I heard it. It's the sound of a seal breaking and falling."
"No, I mean a kind of cry …"
No one believed this young warrior, but soon, the mournful cry reached a intensity that everyone present could hear.
The warriors noticed that the battleships in the sky were starting to get busy. The commanding officers who were carrying out the opening mission listened to the voice in their earphones, their expressions becoming more and more serious.
"Get ready! Defense Legion, get ready! The first wave of darkness beasts is about to arrive! "
When they heard the voice of the Legion Commander, all the warriors immediately understood that the thing they had been worried about was happening. The darkness beasts inside the ruins were rushing out.
This was something unimaginable before. Grade A ruins were all vertical shafts, which meant that the entrance did not open diagonally. Instead, it was like an abyss that connected to the ground. It was very difficult for the darkness beasts to climb out of such a vertical abyss. Perhaps they preferred to stay in the ruins and were unwilling to take the risk of leaving.
Just over a minute after the alert order was given, the first wave of darkness beasts began to attack without any resistance.
From the abyss with a diameter of 275,000 meters, a large number of thin and weak darkness beasts crawled out along the precipitous stone walls. They had sharp teeth like wolves, long arms like monkeys, and astonishing jumping power like kangaroos.
The shoulder-mounted laser weapons hidden at the back did not have a good effect. The darkness beasts had strong reflexes. They dodged the attacks and charged at the soldiers around them. Then, a close combat battle began.
The battleships fired at the entrance of the ruins from the sky, using a type of rapid-fire cannon that was not very powerful. If the giant cannons were used to attack the ruins, it was very likely that the entrance would be completely destroyed. The ruins hid the technology and wealth that humans desired. At least for now, the Zither Shang Empire's fleet did not want the ruins to be sealed again after they had opened it with great difficulty.
A few minutes later, blood flowed on the grassland. The warriors were shocked to find that they were not fighting darkness beasts, but monsters of a higher level than the darkness beasts.
They had powerful attack power and a smart mind. They knew how to use humans as a cover to attack other humans.
Moreover, there were many of them. In just five minutes, millions of monsters crawled out of the entrance of the ruins and participated in the battle with the humans.
The command center gave the order to fire at full force, and the warships in the sky finally activated their cannons.
The rumbling caused the earth to tremble. After just a few rounds of bombardment, the abyss that led underground was bombarded into ruins.
The Warriors guarding the ground finally stabilized the situation. Relying on the tenacity of humans, they resisted the attacks of the darkness beasts, gradually narrowing the encirclement and annihilating the remaining monsters.
Rumble ~
Suddenly, just as the humans were about to take control of the situation, the entrance to the ruins that was originally sealed was overturned by a sudden, huge force. It was like a giant laser cannon that was fired from underground, directly pushing away the boulder that sealed the abyss and shooting it into the air.
The warriors looked towards the dark galaxy in shock, noticing that the laser attack with a diameter of over three hundred thousand meters had struck the layers of warships that were docked above the ruins. A Kunpen-class battleship was the first to be destroyed, followed by the Raven-class battleship that was right next to it, the Chimera-class carrier that was docked the furthest away, and a killer whale-class dreadnought that had a super cannon.
Rumble ~
The warships were torn apart by the laser beam in the air, and the wreckage fell to the ground, bringing about a huge disaster.
Tens of thousands of soldiers who were holding their posts were crushed by the wreckage of the giant warships. The grassland was a mess, and the cries of the soldiers for help could be heard everywhere. They were crushed to death by the wreckage of the giant warships, blasted to death by the explosions that followed, and burned to ashes by the scorching metal!
Roar roar roar ~
A series of horrifying cries spread across the grassland. Without waiting for the reserve army to enter the battlefield, without waiting for the medical corps to rescue the wounded, the darkness beasts launched another fierce attack. This time, they seemed to be riding on some kind of magnetic catapult, gushing out of the abyss that had a diameter of three hundred thousand meters like a spring!
It was only then that the command center realized that they had made a terrible mistake.
They had used the thinking of the past to predict this new ruin, and this new ruin was vastly different from any of the previous ruins.
They remembered how humans had entered the ruins in the past and jumped directly into the abyss. When they were about to reach the ground, a magnetic force would slow down the speed of the soldiers, allowing them to land safely.
Now, everything had been reversed. The magnetic device in the ruins was helping countless darkness beasts to rush out of the abyss, sending them from the world of darkness to the planet inhabited by humans like a volcanic eruption.
The ground battle quickly fell into a disadvantage, and the Zither Shang Empire did not expect such a large-scale uprising.
They launched a nuclear attack without a care, releasing cruise missiles loaded with nuclear warheads from afar, hoping that these missiles could enter the abyss and seal the entrance to the damn ruins again.
Swish ~
The cruel side of the war had been shown at this point. Once the nuclear attack was launched, it meant that the soldiers who had not evacuated in time would be mercilessly sacrificed.
However, in order to seal the entrance to the ruins as soon as possible, the command center could not care less.
When the people on the warships were filled with hope and saw cruise missiles accurately entering the abyss, the situation suddenly reversed again, and the powerful Zither Shang Empire fell into despair.
Those cruise missiles that had just entered the abyss, under the control of a mysterious power, turned around and returned to the human fleet in the sky.
Rumble ~
The nuclear bombs exploded in the sky, and battleships fell into the sea of stars again.
The commander of a crazy Hellfire-class battleship gave the order to charge into the ruins. Then, the powerful golden battleship began to accelerate and charged into the abyss.
Boom ~
The Hellfire-class battleship had a barrel-shaped body and a sharp bow. It was like a plug that was inserted into the abyss, using its body to block the entrance to the ruins.
However, the efforts of the Hellfire-class battleship captain and his crew at the cost of their lives did not alleviate the situation.
A few minutes later, a series of violent explosions occurred on the planet.
If one looked from space, they would be able to clearly see what was happening.
It was like a volcano erupting from underground. With each explosion, a new entrance was opened on the planet, and a new abyss was formed. A new group of darkness beasts crawled out from underground.
Soon, the planet became a beehive, with countless entrances, each one leading to the mysterious ruins.
The darkness beasts crawled out from every corner of the planet, and it did not take long for them to become the masters of the last planet in the Iron Cross Galaxy. Not a single human could survive this disaster.
"Let's leave this place. We have completely failed," the last message from the command center said.
Only a few hours after the disaster in the Iron Cross Galaxy of the Qin Shang Empire, the supreme leaders of the 12 permanent members of the Milky Way Alliance began an emergency meeting.
"We should just destroy this d * mn planet!"
"No! We all know that the ruins do not exist geographically, but in a stable space. No one knows what the consequences of destroying a stable space will be. "
"Then, send the most elite warriors into the ruins and destroy the factories made by the darkness beasts from the inside!"
"No one will be willing to go. This is obviously a suicide mission. I suspect that our expedition team will be killed by the darkness beasts before they even enter the ruins."
"What are you afraid of? We have so many warriors! They all have superpowers! Find the warriors with the most special superpowers in the Milky Way, and those with the most experience in dealing with ruins. Let them go! We will definitely succeed! "
"But …"
"No buts! Although we have been keeping it a secret and did not announce it to the public, we all know that the number of ruins in the Milky Way far exceeds what ordinary people know. If every ruin goes berserk like A43, our losses will never be able to recover! In short, we have to figure out why A43 has become like this! What changes have happened in the ruins that we do not know about! "
"I agree. Let us choose the most special and most experienced warriors in the Milky Way and form a small team. Code name, Hell Expedition!"
"For the sake of fairness, let's use a vote to decide if we want to form the Hell Expedition team."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Opposed!"
"Abstained!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Seven votes in favor, three votes against, and two votes abstained. According to the agreement, the Hell Expedition team will be formed immediately. Since this incident happened in the territory of the Qin Shang Empire, I suggest that the Qin Shang Empire provide all the resources needed for this operation."
"I accept this suggestion on behalf of the Qin Shang Empire."
"Very good. Now, we need a final name list. This name list must include the top combat personnel, warriors with special superpowers, and warriors with the most experience in destroying the gene factories!"
More than ten hours later …
A name list for the Hell Expedition team was drawn up. There were a total of 13 people, all of whom were the top elites in the Milky Way.
"Ahem, there's a problem with this name list."
"What problem?"
"Two people are currently wanted. Among them, Hellhound Arthur is in the Forgotten Land, and the unyielding Han Lang's whereabouts are unknown."
"Can we replace them with others?"
"I'm afraid not. Hellhound Arthur is currently the best scout in the Milky Way, and the unyielding Han Lang once destroyed the gene factory of A19 single-handedly. We suspect that Han Lang has some kind of hidden ability. Otherwise, he would not be the only existence in history to be able to destroy an A-grade gene factory by himself. His hidden ability and experience are very important to us."
"Then there's no other way. Send someone to the Forgotten Land to find the Protector. As for Han Lang, find him too!"
"What about the wanted posters for them?"
"To hell with the wanted posters! This is war! If we don't find out why A43 became like this, we might lose the entire Milky Way! Did you forget the Protector's prophecy? Even if I die, I don't want his prophecy to come true! "
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed …"
PS: Unknowingly, our small fry Han Lang has once again been pushed to the heart of the struggle.
Please vote and support Han Lang!
