After bidding farewell to Lao Zhou, An Qing, and the others, Xia Pingan drove the car back to Xinchuan overnight.
This car was so awesome that Xia Pingan couldn't even recognize it. The seat in the driver's seat was like a sofa. It was very comfortable and packed well. When the six wheels of the car passed by the bumps and potholes on the road that were more than 20 centimeters high, the suspension of the car nimbly bounced a few times. In the car, there wasn't even much fluctuation in the car before it passed by steadily.
The car drove on the highway at a speed of more than 200 km, and the six wheels were firm and powerful. It was like a large piece of steel floating on the ground.
There were very few vehicles on the highway. Xia Pingan drove the six-wheeled pickup truck and sped all the way back to Xinchuan City from Xianghe in only two hours.
Xia Pingan had only left Xinchuan City for a few hours, and everything in the city was fine.
However, at night, the sound of gunfire and explosions could still be heard coming from the two permanent spatial rifts in the city. From time to time, balls of fire could be seen on the ground in those two places, like sparks in the dark night, illuminating the sky.
In the beginning, the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from inside and outside the city was difficult for people to get used to. It felt like they were on a battlefield, but slowly, Xia Pingan got used to it.
He was still living in the half-finished room that had not been renovated. The army had assigned two guards to Xia Pingan before, but after the two guards stayed by Xia Pingan's side for half a month, Xia Pingan was busy going back and forth between the gymnasium and his residence every day. It was basically equivalent to living in the barracks every day, so there was no need for two guards to protect him. After Xia Pingan and Tang Guofeng realized that the army was short of manpower everywhere, his guards were transferred away.
The power in the room was cut off again, but fortunately, there was water. Xia Pingan took a cold shower and fell asleep with the sound of gunfire as his pillow.
At three o 'clock in the morning, Xia Pingan was suddenly awakened by an unprecedented palpitating feeling.
The palpitating feeling was so intense that it made one's hair stand on end. Xia Pingan, who was still asleep, was suddenly awakened by cold sweat in just a few seconds.
After waking up, Xia Pingan gasped for breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He immediately went to the window and looked out.
The night outside the window was as red as blood, and the gunfire in the city was still ringing. The palpitating feeling of danger came from the permanent spatial rift in the center of Xinchuan City.
Using his remote vision ability, Xia Pingan saw that the battle at the permanent spatial rift in the center of Xinchuan City was in full swing. From time to time, fiendish rats and fiendish spiders would rush out from the spatial rift. However, as soon as these space-invading creatures came out, they would immediately be torn to pieces by the crossfire arranged around the spatial rift.
The 87th Division had set up a total of three layers of defense around the spatial rift. The closest layer of defense was the unmanned tracked vehicles on the ground near the spatial rift. The unmanned tracked vehicles on the ground were about the size of toy cars that children could drive. They were about one meter long and half a meter tall. They could be controlled from afar. The vehicles were equipped with all sorts of weapons such as rocket launchers. When necessary, they could even self-destruct.
These ground unmanned tracked vehicles could get very close to the spatial rift and finish off the invading creatures as soon as they came out from the spatial rift.
500 meters behind these ground unmanned tracked vehicles was a steel defensive line formed by tanks and armoured vehicles. The tanks were hidden behind a 3 meter tall defensive fortification. As soon as the invading creatures rushed out from the spatial rift and broke through the defensive line of unmanned tracked vehicles, the tanks and vehicles would open fire.
Behind these tanks was a three-dimensional defense network made up of all sorts of sturdy fortresses, bunkers, trenches, barbed wire fences, fortifications, and secret tunnels. The 87th Division had placed a full heavy armored division and a mixed mechanized infantry brigade in this small core area of a few square kilometers. There were almost 20,000 soldiers stationed here, layers upon layers of defense.
The defensive perimeter around the spatial rift in the southwest of Xinchuan City was similar. It was also heavily guarded and impregnable.
On this battlefield of a few square kilometers, the steel shards of various tanks and the flesh and blood of the invading creatures were mixed together. It was difficult to distinguish between them.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The creatures that came out from the spatial rift would at most be destroyed when they got close to the second defensive perimeter. The troops stationed around the spatial rift were firmly in control of the battlefield.
However, Xia Pingan felt his heart palpitating more and more intensely.
Suddenly, without any warning, after a few demon rats were destroyed by the rocket launchers on the unmanned tracked vehicle battlefield, a pale white light abruptly appeared in the pitch-black spatial rift at the center of the city.
That pale white light was particularly dazzling in the pitch-black spatial rift.
This abnormal situation immediately alerted the surrounding defensive forces. The various weapons on the unmanned tracked vehicles on the ground near the spatial rift unconsciously aimed at the place where the white light appeared.
The white light flashed. Suddenly, a translucent "blood blob" wriggling like a maggot drilled out from the white light.
There were eyes everywhere on the translucent "blood blob". It was very strange.
The moment Xia Pingan saw the "blood blob", he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him because it was impossible for that thing to come out of the spatial rift. It was the demon spirit of a phantom monster.
The demon spirit of a phantom monster could only be found in the British Isles. It was the wave-like body of a phantom monster that had been baptized by nuclear weapons. It was very dangerous and terrifying. A phantom monster's demon spirit could affect and control several people within a certain range of space. It could possess people and cause them to have terrifying hallucinations. It could also devour and absorb the essence of the human body. This thing was the favorite of the members of the Demon Eyes. The member of the Demon Eyes killed by Xia Pingan had this thing parasitized on him. How could this thing appear here?
Only invading creatures from another world would come out of the spatial rift. This was common knowledge for countless years, and even children knew it.
Demon spirits were the aberrations of the "Bose- Einstein condensate" produced by the creatures from another world in a specific environment. There were very few of these things and they only existed on Earth. Why would the demon spirit of a phantom monster come out of the spatial rift?
Perhaps it was not the demon spirit of a phantom monster, but just a space invading creature similar to the demon spirit of a phantom monster …
This thought flashed through Xia Pingan's mind instantly.
But reality shattered the little fantasy in Xia Pingan's heart in the blink of an eye.
After the translucent "meatball" with eyes all over its body drilled out of the space fissure, it immediately flew towards the tanks and armored vehicles at the second line of defense in the distance like a hound that had smelled its prey.
The unmanned tracked vehicles on the ground had already opened fire.
Rockets and bullets rained down on the blob.
A rain of bullets passed through the thing's body like passing through a cloud of smoke. It had no effect on the thing at all.
The rocket exploded when it got close to the target. The flames, shrapnel, and shockwaves of the explosion tore that thing's body into various shapes and even tore it apart. However, that thing recovered in an instant. Its body that had been blasted apart merged back together in the blink of an eye.
The blob passed through the explosion and flames like a red smoke arrow and continued to rush toward the tanks and armored vehicles at the second line of defense.
The tanks and armored vehicles opened fire.
The snipers at the third line of defense opened fire.
Artillery shells, bullets, flames, explosions, shrapnel scattered everywhere …
The violent explosions could be heard from a small part of Xinchuan City.
The blob passed through all the weapons without any hindrance. It only took a short while for it to fly across a distance of several hundred meters and enter the barrel of a tank.
Xia Pingan's remote vision ability was unable to allow him to clearly see what was happening inside the tank. All he could see was that in just two seconds, the tank that the phantom monster had entered suddenly moved. It retreated, the turret rotated 90 degrees and aimed at the side of another tank beside it. Then, it fired a shot …
"Boom …"
In the midst of the violent explosion, the tank that was hit by the artillery shell erupted into smoke and flames …
The tank that the phantom monster had entered opened fire again and again, all of them aimed at the other tanks and armored vehicles beside it. In the blink of an eye, three tanks were destroyed.
An anti-tank missile flew out from the third line of defense and pierced through the crazy tank, causing it to explode.
The phantom monster's spirit came out from the flames of the explosion and entered another tank through the barrel. Two seconds later, the tank began to open fire at its teammates.
Faced with the phantom monster's spirit that was immune to all firearms, the second line of defense began to fall into chaos.
At this moment, more and more dots of white light appeared on the pitch-black space crack.
The second, the third, the fourth … More and more Phantom Monsters came out of the spatial rifts and rushed toward the tanks. Once a Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster's Phantom Monster would attack the nearby vehicles and personnel in a few seconds.
The entire line of defense was unable to distinguish between friend and foe. It was a complete mess …
In just half a minute, more and more phantom monster's spirits came out from the space crack. Thousands upon thousands of them were like a blood-red tide. In just a moment, the tide had completely submerged the three lines of defense.
Once someone was affected by the phantom monster's spirit, they would fall into a terrifying illusion and start attacking the people around them.
There were a few Summoners stationed here, but those Summoners were like mantises trying to stop a chariot in the face of so many phantom monster's spirits. After using fireballs to kill a few phantom monsters, those Summoners were blown to pieces by the tanks.
More and more tanks and armored vehicles drove out from the defensive line of the spatial crack. They turned their cannons and rushed out of the defensive line into the city, fiercely opening fire at the reinforcements, buildings, and houses.
In just a few minutes, the entire defensive line of Xinchuan City collapsed. The entire city and the troops of the 87th Legion stationed in Xinchuan City were in chaos.
The sound of gunfire and explosions could be heard everywhere.
In this chaos, more and more magic rats and magic fire spiders came out from the undefended spatial cracks and crossed the chaotic line of defense, killing everyone in sight …
