Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 556 When it rains, it pours

Lin Shigong took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, forcibly suppressing his boiling emotions.

He realized that he had also lost his composure just now, but after letting it out, he felt much better.

He stopped looking at the horrific scene on the screen, and his eyes regained their reassuring calm and stern gaze.

He can't collapse.

If he collapses, all those lives will have been wasted.

He said coldly:

"Is the antimatter bomb ready?"

A middle-aged staff officer immediately stood up.

"Report, all arrangements have been made."

"The antimatter bomb was encased in a special safe made by Zheng Jin and fixed to a modified heavy military vehicle."

"Even if it is unfortunately stepped on by a demon god, it can still continue to detonate safely."

"The vehicle is currently parked at node G7 on the third-level main passage, and is being escorted by a special forces team."

The staff officer paused, then lowered his voice:

"According to the plan, once the demon invades the dungeon, the military vehicles will immediately move to the nearest detonation point."

"This special forces team... has all members signed volunteer agreements."

Sign the voluntary form.

This means that those dozen or so brothers all knew that once the antimatter bomb exploded, not even ashes would remain within a radius of several kilometers.

They were going to their deaths, the kind of deaths where they wouldn't even be able to leave behind a complete corpse.

Lin Shigong nodded, not lingering on this heavy topic.

"Has the city been cleared out?"

"It's all cleared out!" the staff officer answered crisply.

"Aside from the special forces team escorting the bomb and the people in our command center, there is no one left in the Tianxiong Underground City."

"The city's power supply, communications, and essential maintenance systems are now entirely managed by AI and robots."

Lin Shigong looked around the command center.

There were about twenty people, of all ages.

In addition, there were more than a dozen people guarding the vehicle outside.

This massive underground city, capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people, now has no more than forty living people; the rest are cold, waiting killing machines.

"Defense deployment status?"

Another staff officer quickly pulled up a 3D map of the city's interior.

"Report: In accordance with the 'trapping the turtle in a jar' contingency plan, nuclear bombs with a yield of 100,000 tons have been planted at all key nodes and major intersections within the city."

The staff officer drew a red line on the screen with a laser pointer.

"The main passageways from the first to the seventh floor are all equipped with heavy machine gun positions and anti-armor firing points, which are guarded by combat robots and mechanical war dogs."

"They have no fear, cannot be defeated by mental pressure, and their goal is not to kill the enemy, but only to delay and prolong the fight."

"Forcing the demon army to gnaw at the center layer by layer."

"On the one hand, we can prevent the demon army from destroying the antimatter bombs, and on the other hand, we can force the demon god to personally come down and destroy us."

"After all, the losses from attacking us were so great, it's best for it to come out on its own. Even if it can increase the attack rate by one point, it's still good."

"The closer it is to the detonation point of the antimatter bomb, the more likely it is to succeed."

After listening, Lin Shigong nodded slowly.

His gaze returned to the big screen.

In the scene, the hundred-meter-tall Kogas is still ravaging the earth, crushing the flesh and blood of mortals with a contemptuous attitude.

A chilling glint flashed in Lin Shigong's eyes, a murderous intent that had been dormant for a long time.

It is only polite to reciprocate, so the Great Xia has prepared a great gift for you.

Are you ready?

"Report!"

A sharp shout interrupted Lin Shigong's thoughts.

The technician ripped off his headphones, turned around, and shouted:

"The seismic wave monitoring system deployed around the underground city has detected an abnormal seismic source!"

"The frequency characteristics closely match the drilling signals of the 'earth-drilling dragon' in the database!"

"The confidence level is 92%!"

The atmosphere in the entire command center froze.

Just when things seemed to be in disarray, a series of misfortunes struck, and just then, a burrowing dragon appeared.

Although the underground city of Daxia has thick and sturdy concrete walls, given enough time, this living tunnel boring machine can still break through them.

Fortunately, the Great Xia never fights unprepared battles; the contingency plans were already written into the system.

"Can you locate it? How many lines are there?" the staff officer asked urgently.

The technician's hands flew across the keyboard like afterimages, so fast he didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat from his brow.

"The data has been displayed on the big screen!"

Everyone looked up and saw that on the honeycomb-shaped 3D map of Tianxiong Underground City, six constantly flashing red pulse dots lit up in the outer fan-shaped area.

Each point of light is a burrowing dragon.

They resemble six giant termites, frantically digging into the outer walls of the third to fifth levels of the underground city.

The light spot is moving, getting closer and closer.

"The tunneling speed is extremely fast." The technician swallowed hard.

"The fastest one is expected to reach the fourth-floor exterior wall in twelve minutes."

Twelve minutes.

Lin Shigong stared at the six red dots and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

His tone was like that of a hunter looking at a wild beast that had run into the muzzle of his gun.

Even the ever-present oppressive aura seemed to have weakened somewhat.

"OK."

With a wave of his hand, he gave the order:

"Immediately dispatch robots carrying cubic nitrogen explosives to embed them in place on the inner side of the outer walls corresponding to the six seismic sources!"

"Detonate it the moment these beasts show themselves."

"I'm going to trap all those demon scum following them inside!"

The staff officer straightened his back: "Roger!"

.......

Tianxiong Underground City, sixth floor armory.

Inside the giant warehouse, which is over 200 meters long, a special area on one side is neatly stacked with distinctive orange-red boxes.

A prominent black skull is printed on the side of the box, below which is a bold warning message:

[Cubic nitrogen explosive / 1,000 tons equivalent]

One of them has a yield of one thousand tons.

The ultimate violence, enough to wipe out a heavy bridge entirely.

The heavy gate slid open.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Ten five-meter-tall Tier 5 combat robots filed in.

The dark gray alloy armor houses a miniature nuclear fusion reactor.

They possess formidable strength and independent AI intelligence systems, yet they are devoid of emotion and fear.

They walked precisely to the storage rack, each of their robust robotic arms picked up a cubic nitrogen explosive, and walked out the door.

next second.

The plasma thrusters on the robot's back and feet simultaneously spewed out blue-white flames.

A scorching wave of air swept through, and ten steel weapons soared into the air, transforming into streaks of light as they penetrated the passageways on each floor.

They do not need guidance.

Coordinates and detonation commands have long been the primary commands in the system.

.......

The fourth floor exterior wall, section G4-17.

The two robots have already placed the cubic nitrogen explosives tightly against the inside of the wall, and the fuses have been connected to the main control system.

They then flew back to a safe distance of 300 meters and hovered there, waiting for orders.

A moment later, a sound came from outside the wall.

At first it was very light, like a mouse gnawing on a whetstone.

Soon, the sound became shrill.

The entire wall began to shake violently, and the explosion-proof light tubes on the ceiling crashed and shattered, with wall plaster mixed with concrete debris falling down in a flurry.

The grinding sound gradually turned into a chilling shriek.

That wasn't a machine at all; it was the tearing sound of countless sharp teeth frantically shredding high-strength concrete!

The cracks on the wall are increasing, becoming more and more numerous and dense!
