Chapter 539 Eagle Nation, Washington's Underground City.
Kog'Maw's massive body tore through the sound barrier as it raced towards Axe amidst a hail of gunfire.
There are two main ways for demons to communicate.
One way is through sound, and the other is through spiritual communication.
However, only demons of the seventh rank or higher can initiate this action.
As long as it is within its territory, it can freely communicate or command other demons tens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
If the target is tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, ultra-long-distance communication can be achieved simply by compressing the area into a thin line.
The two terrifying behemoths merged in mid-air.
"Are those bugs down here?" Kogas hovered in mid-air, with a thousand-meter-thick ice sheet and rock layer beneath his feet.
"Yes, sir, there are quite a few." Yax bowed respectfully.
Without a word, Kogas unleashed his domain power, which immediately seeped and spread deep into the earth.
A few seconds later, a hint of cruelty flashed in his huge, blood-moon-like eyes.
Sure enough, they were all those damned humans!
They were densely packed together, like a nest of plump worms.
Kogas immediately transmitted his will through a mental connection.
……
Dozens of kilometers away, the ruins of the Liberty underground city.
The wormhole, hundreds of meters in diameter, still emits a faint glow.
An endless army of demons surged forth from the abyss like a black tide.
They spread wildly in all directions along the wide tunnels dug by the earth-burrowing dragons.
They have now become smarter, no longer staying close to the surface, but digging thousands of meters deep to avoid attacks from technological weapons.
Just then, the largest of the giant burrowing dragons paused.
They received orders from an eighth-order demon god.
"roar!"
Without any hesitation, the several burrowing dragons suddenly turned their huge heads around, their sharp mouthparts frantically shredding the rock layers, carving out a completely new tunneling route underground.
Behind them, a densely packed army of demons roared excitedly and followed closely.
The target is the newly discovered human settlement!
……
The underground city of the USS Washington, in the Eagle Nation.
Lord Jie Shibang was lying on his luxurious bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
His mind was filled with concerns about the current state of the United Kingdom.
Since the Great Xia locked down the surface and destroyed all satellites and communication base stations, the few remaining underground cities in the Eagle Kingdom have become completely isolated islands.
Not only are they unable to communicate with each other, but they are also under the surveillance of Great Xia's satellites and missiles.
The United States is now like a rat in a sewer. As long as it dares to show its face, even if it only digs a tiny vent hole, the Great Xia's bunker-buster bombs will mercilessly come down on it.
"Damn the Great Xia people..." Jie Shibang irritably pulled at the blanket.
However, the thought of the engineering department's progress made him feel a little better.
The Washington was only forty kilometers away from the Liberty's underground city.
After this period of relentless digging, 35 kilometers have now been excavated.
Once the last five kilometers are completed, the Washington will be able to connect with the Freedom!
When the two major underground cities of the Eagle Kingdom are merged, they will finally be able to catch their breath.
Then connect with other underground cities to form a whole!
At that time, the Eagle Nation will surely become great again and completely destroy the damned Great Xia!
Just as Jessbong was drifting off to sleep...
The dedicated telephone line by the bed suddenly rang shrilly.
"Fuck!" Jesse Brown was so shocked that he jumped out of bed, his heart pounding.
This phone will only ring in an emergency.
Otherwise, it would be his considerate and sexy female secretary gently knocking on his door.
He answered the phone, and was startled again after listening to the voice on the other end.
He hastily threw on a piece of clothing, rushed out of the bedroom, and headed straight for the underground city command center.
"What happened?" Jessbong shouted as soon as he entered the room.
A female secretary in business attire hurried forward and said urgently:
"Sir, the monitoring instruments have just detected extremely strong seismic waves."
Where is the epicenter?
"Based on calculations and seismic attenuation, we can confirm it's the Liberty's underground city!" The secretary swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"Judging from the wave characteristics, it doesn't seem like crustal movement, but rather... a nuclear explosion!"
A buzzing sound went through Jessbun's mind.
"A nuclear explosion? How could a nuclear explosion happen in the Liberty City's dungeon?!"
"It must be the Freedom and the Great Xia fighting!" Jesse Brown was so anxious he was spinning in circles.
"We must help! Mars needs support!"
The secretary shook her head bitterly:
"How can we help them?"
"Our tunnel is still 200 meters below the surface, there's simply no time."
Jie Shibang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.
In the end, all he could do was slam his fist helplessly on the table.
"Damn it, then get the construction team to speed things up!!"
For the next few hours, Jessbong didn't go anywhere; he just stared intently at the seismic wave monitoring chart on the big screen.
The red wavy line surged again and again.
The command center was completely silent.
Everyone realized that this was not a sporadic exchange of fire; it was annihilation.
"It's been half a day..." a technician said, his voice trembling.
"That must have been at least fifty nuclear bombs detonated, right?"
"The sound has been coming from the direction of the Freedom... Could it be that the people on the Freedom...?"
The technician didn't dare say the word, but no one present was a fool.
What level of war would require fifty nuclear bombs to be detonated in succession?
The Liberty is probably completely finished.
Panic spread rapidly through the command center.
"Could it be that the Great Xia has finally decided to settle scores with us?"
"Definitely, otherwise there would be no need to suffocate us underground. They must have been waiting for the nuclear radiation to weaken before eliminating us!"
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die, we..."
Seeing this, Jie Shibang slammed his hand on the table, drawing everyone's attention.
He knew that if morale collapsed at this point, the Washington would be doomed.
"Shut up, all of you!" Jessbong forcefully adopted the authority of a politician.
"What are you all guessing about?!"
"At this point in the battle, it's clear that Mars and his men are still putting up a fierce resistance!"
He looked around and loudly painted a rosy picture:
"Remember this: our Eagle Nation is the true ruler of this planet!"
"The Great Xia only gained a slight advantage through a sneak attack!"
"As long as we can weather this period, dig the tunnel, rendezvous with the Freedom, join other cities, and even unite with all the countries in Antarctica!"
"At that time, we will definitely be able to trample the Great Xia under our feet again!"
These self-deceiving words miraculously worked in this moment of despair.
The panic in everyone's eyes gradually subsided, and a glimmer of hope rekindled.
"That's right, the fact that the battle has reached this level shows how intense it is. The Freedom is putting up a strong resistance; we can't scare ourselves unnecessarily!"
"Yes! God will bless us!"
Everyone offered words of encouragement while silently praying that the Freedom could hold on.
Just then, an invisible, suffocating pressure suddenly pierced through hundreds of meters of rock and loomed over everyone's heads.
In that instant, Jessbong felt as if his heart had been squeezed, and his breath stopped!
