Chapter 540 Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me! Where shall I go?
Fortunately, the pressure came and went quickly, disappearing in just a few seconds.
"What... happened just now?" someone asked, panting heavily, looking bewildered.
"Is it just my imagination?"
"What happened?"
"Oh my god, what was that just now? I feel like the sky is falling!"
"Did you feel it too?"
"It wasn't a hallucination after all. What kind of new weapon is that? Have we been attacked by sonic waves?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Before they could even figure out what had happened,
"boom!"
The second wave of oppressive force arrived.
If their hearts had been squeezed before, now it felt as if a towering mountain had crashed down on their souls!
That's an absolute crushing on the level of life!
"thump!"
Inside the command center, large numbers of staff collapsed to the ground, and some even urinated on the spot, filling the air with a pungent stench.
An elderly technician clutched his chest, suffering a heart attack on the spot. He collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently, but no one paid any attention to him.
Because everyone is too busy taking care of themselves.
The fear etched deep into their genes left their minds blank.
The residential area of the Washington's underground city was in complete chaos.
Millions of people, no matter what they were doing, were immediately pressed to the floor by this oppressive force, unable to move.
Among the crowd, some fanatical religious believers, after a brief moment of fear, had a gleam of ecstatic joy in their eyes.
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
"The Lord has come! The Lord has not abandoned us!"
"Merciful Lord, your devout servant has finally awaited your arrival, sob sob..."
In the nauseating underground city, thousands of believers struggled to turn over and frantically kowtowed to the rock wall above, chanting incantations and praying for divine protection.
Ironically.
They had no idea that the first thing to sweep over them was an investigation by the seventh-tier Demon Lord Ax.
The second time they were crushed like mud was by the eighth-tier demon god, Kogas, who had just turned the Liberty Dungeon upside down.
They are not worshipping God.
Rather, they are the abyssal demons that toll their death knell!
......
Tian Shu Underground City, Command Center.
The atmosphere plummeted.
On the giant command screen, real-time satellite images clearly showed the devastation on the Antarctic surface.
The terrifying eighth-tier demon god Kog'Maw, standing over a hundred meters tall, moved through the frenzied barrage of attacks from the entire Great Xia network as if it were nothing.
Plasma beams, electromagnetic railguns, air-to-ground missiles...
The barrage of firepower crashed down on it like throwing pebbles into the ocean, not even creating a decent splash.
The defensive line, forged by an army of 110,000 steel soldiers, is visibly collapsing, crumbling, and disappearing in the footage.
No one spoke in the command center.
Han Niba stared at the screen expressionlessly, his clenched fists revealing his inner turmoil.
He is not afraid.
For soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, the word "fear" doesn't exist in their dictionary!
His concern was for the people in the two underground cities of Tianxiong and Tianyong who had not yet completed their relocation.
That eighth-tier demon god was only a little over a hundred kilometers away from the two underground cities in a straight line.
What does over 100 kilometers mean?
Based on the speed that monster had previously demonstrated, it would arrive in less than a minute.
Once it discovers the location of the underground city, it will head north...
Han Niba dared not think any further.
"Lord Han!"
A staff officer suddenly exclaimed, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
He stared wide-eyed at the screen, pointing at the large screen:
"Look! That...that thing, it's gone!"
"What?"
Han Niba suddenly looked up.
All eyes were focused on the satellite images.
On the desolate battlefield, the terrifying figure, hundreds of meters tall, did not continue north after destroying the last line of defense.
Instead... it turned and flew in the exact opposite direction.
Moreover, it is extremely fast, with a teleportation speed that seems to tear through space!
There was a two-second silence in the command center.
Then came a sense of relief, like surviving a disaster.
"Great, he didn't head towards our dungeon!"
"In the opposite direction...it went in the opposite direction!"
Han Niba's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, but his years of military training kept him on his guard.
"Keep a close eye on it," he ordered in a deep voice.
"I need to mobilize reconnaissance satellites and drones; I need real-time footage, not a single second can be lost."
"yes!"
The satellite imagery quickly switched to tracking mode.
The terrifying figure, hundreds of meters tall, moved at an astonishing speed over the ice field, its trajectory clear, heading southeast.
Someone suddenly realized:
"Wait... southeast? Isn't that one of the directions those six demon lords dispersed in?"
Upon hearing this, everyone remembered that the six seventh-tier demon lords must have been concerned about the nuclear bombs of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they scattered in different directions.
Daxia immediately used satellites to lock onto their trajectory and also dispatched high-altitude drones to follow them from a distance.
"Retrieve the tracking data of Demon Lord No. 6!" Han Niba said decisively.
Images overlaid.
Two trajectory lines extend rapidly on the map, and then intersect perfectly at a certain coordinate point.
Less than a minute.
In the satellite image, the massive body of the eighth-tier demon god Kogauss was suspended in mid-air, and beneath it, a dark red figure was respectfully kneeling in mid-air.
Seventh-tier Demon Lord Ax.
The two monsters, one above the other, seemed to be communicating with each other.
"What are they doing?" someone asked nervously.
Han Niba did not answer the question.
Instead, he stared at the coordinates beneath the feet of the two monsters in the image and asked in a deep voice:
"Where...is that location?"
A communications soldier quickly checked the data, then looked up a moment later with a somewhat subtle expression.
"Reporting to the deputy commander, based on coordinate comparison..."
"That's the surface area of the underground city of the USS Washington."
Everyone was taken aback.
Then, an extremely subtle atmosphere spread out.
Everyone's expression was somewhat strange.
Better to die than to die myself! Where to go? Where to go?
No one said it aloud.
But everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Niba's expression softened slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"It's actually quite reasonable for them to go there."
"The several underground cities of the Eagle Nation are located close to each other. It's not surprising that the Washington, which is next to it, was discovered by the demons first after the Freedom was breached."
He paused for a moment.
"Continue to monitor the situation, and at the same time urge the evacuation progress of Tianxiong and Tianyong cities."
"It's unclear how long this window of opportunity will last."
"Make the most of every second."
"yes!"
