Chapter 550 What to do?! What to do?!
Chapter 550 What to do?! What to do?!
Several officers clapped their hands heavily, their applause steady and powerful.
Some people even had tears in their eyes.
It wasn't because I was moved, but because the pressure from that seventh-tier demon lord was simply too great.
From the moment it was discovered tracking the missile's trajectory, the entire command center was shrouded in an almost suffocating fear.
The speed of a seventh-tier demon lord is over a thousand meters per second.
Once it finds and enters the underground city of Great Xia, the only way to defeat it, which can only be killed with a nuclear bomb, is to fight it to the death.
The phrase "mutual destruction" means that the two underground cities of Tianxiong and Tianyong, along with millions of soldiers and civilians, are all doomed.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
At the last moment when the enemy was close, the precisely calculated nuclear missile matrix completed its mission.
Lin Shigong let out a long breath, his heart finally settling back into his stomach, and said:
"Very good! But don't let your guard down yet, carefully search the surrounding area for any suspicious targets."
The adjutant responded and went to relay the order.
The atmosphere in the command center eased slightly.
Someone picked up a cold teacup and took a sip.
Someone was leaning back in their chair wiping away sweat.
Someone took off their headphones and rubbed their reddened ears.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, an information soldier who was staring at another screen suddenly shouted out,
"Report!!"
"Eighth-tier Demon God-level being detected above the Washington!"
Everyone was immediately stunned.
The fear that had just dissipated returned like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.
Everyone's head turned to the screen at once.
The information soldier quickly operated the system, retrieved satellite reconnaissance footage, and projected the images onto the central screen.
Lin Shigong's pupils suddenly contracted.
On the screen, the ice above the USS Washington wreckage has been smashed and shattered.
A massive, chillingly dark gray figure emerged from the shattered ice.
It is over 100 meters long and its entire body is covered with a thick, dark gray carapace.
A semi-transparent energy shield enveloped his entire body, and it was Cho'Gath in flight!
Even though everyone had seen this demon before, when it reappeared, the fear stemming from their biological instincts still gripped everyone's hearts.
too big!
too strong!
The monster, which had withstood countless nuclear bombs, remained completely unharmed.
Moreover, it seems the Washington is doomed?
Lin Shigong was the first to react. There was no time to think about anything else now. He shouted:
"Quick! Calculate its flight path! Where is it headed?!"
The information soldier's fingers were trembling, but his typing speed didn't slow down even by half a beat.
Retrieve the coordinates, overlay the map, and compare with the known distribution of dungeons.
"Report! Based on the current flight path, the target's direction of travel is... the Eagle Nation New Covenant Dungeon!"
The New Testament.
It's not Tianxiong.
It's not Tian Yong.
Lin Shigong closed his eyes and, along with several officers around him, let out a long sigh.
As long as it's not coming this way, it's fine.
"Continue monitoring, don't let it stop!" Lin Shigong said in a low voice.
"Tracking its trajectory in real time, and reporting any changes immediately!"
"yes!"
The information soldier refocused his attention on the screen, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, ready to operate at any moment.
In the footage, Kogas' massive figure is flying northwest at an extremely high speed.
Inside the command center, everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Some whispered among themselves, "Can the New Testament ship hold out?"
"Whether they can withstand it or not is their problem... Let's protect ourselves first."
"But how exactly do we kill this demon? Even nuclear bombs didn't work, could it be...?"
"Shh! Don't say things like that!"
Whispers rose and fell, but no one dared to speak too loudly.
On the screen, Kogas continued flying in the direction of the New Testament, showing no signs of changing direction.
Perhaps that seventh-tier demon lord didn't have time to... before he died.
"not good!!"
The information soldier suddenly exclaimed,
"Target changes flight direction!!"
Lin Shigong suddenly looked up.
On the screen, Kogas's massive figure... turned.
The information soldier's fingers flew across the keyboard.
"Recalculate the trajectory, target..."
His voice trailed off.
"What's the target direction?! Speak!" Lin Shigong roared.
The information soldier turned around, his face deathly pale.
"They're coming towards us!!"
The command center fell silent.
Everyone could hear their own hearts pounding.
That monster, which even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill, is flying towards Tianxiong's underground city.
Lin Shigong slammed his hand on the command platform.
"Missile units, listen up!!"
His voice boomed through the command center, jolting everyone awake as if struck by lightning.
"Aim all your weapons at this high-risk target!"
"Hypersonic missiles, tactical nuclear weapons—launch everything you can!!"
"Stop it!!"
"Stop it at all costs!!!"
The order was relayed to every missile position in the two underground cities of Tianxiong and Tianyong.
On the ground, missiles burst forth from the ice like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, trailing long plumes of flame as they hurtled toward the approaching, massive shadow.
But everyone knew in their hearts that nuclear bombs were completely useless against this monster.
What can stop a monster that even a nuclear bomb can't kill?
No one can answer this question.
Missiles are still being launched, and orders are still being carried out.
There was no choice but to resist.
Lin Shigong stared at the dark gray dot on the screen, his teeth grinding together.
"Reporting to our superiors, we're going to use antimatter bombs!"
"Yes, sir!" the information officer replied, quickly reporting the message.
A reply came very quickly.
"Report, the Tian Shu City Command Center has responded."
"read!"
"Tianxiong Dungeon is permitted to use antimatter bombs!"
Despite the entire nation's resources, the Great Xia Dynasty only managed to produce three antimatter bombs during this period.
This thing isn't a conventional stack of yield like a nuclear bomb; it's the ultimate weapon that can completely wipe out matter.
One of them had already been placed in a specially made sealed box and sent to Tianxiong Dungeon through a portal.
This is the last trump card that the Great Xia Dynasty prepared to deal with the eighth-order demon god.
However, how to use this antimatter bomb became a problem.
Inside the command center, Tianxiong City Lord Lin Shigong, along with Tianyong City Lord Chen Jianguo, who was connected via video link on the large screen next to them, and a group of senior advisors, were arguing fiercely.
"It must be immediately mounted on the latest hypersonic missile for a proactive attack!"
"Intercept them at high altitude from 50 kilometers away!" a staff officer shouted.
"If it gets close, Tianxiong City will be completely finished!"
"You know nothing!" Another tactical expert, his eyes bloodshot, blurted out a string of profanities.
"That's an eighth-tier demon god!"
"That beast travels at two thousand meters per second, has its own shield, and possesses an extraordinary sixth sense."
"The missile flew past, and it dodged it with a simple sidestep!"
"If we run out of antimatter bombs, our city will lose its only antimatter bomb. Are you going to take the hit with your head?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Bury it in the ice outside the city like a landmine, and detonate it when it passes by!"
"Bullshit! How do you know which coordinates it will land on? Its flight path changes all the time!" Chen Jianguo roared in the video, his eyes wide with fury.
"If the deviation is too large, it won't die, but not only will we waste our last chance, we'll all be finished!"
