Chapter 558 Two Hours of Despair!

Tianxiong Underground City, Command Center.

On the large screen, the footage captured by the drone was incredibly clear.

That hundred-meter-tall demon is tearing through the rock layers in the most ruthless way, heading straight for the underground city along the tunnel.

The entire command center was eerily quiet.

Everyone stared at the screen, watching the enormous object slowly approach.

"Report!"

The technician typed rapidly on the keyboard, reporting to the supervisor:

"Based on system calculations... the enemy's current tunneling speed..."

"We expect to arrive at Tianxiong City in about two hours!"

Two hours.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

An old staff officer instinctively retorted:

"How is that possible? How much heavy machinery did we use to dig this main tunnel?"

"With the robots working day and night, they dug for a full two weeks!"

His voice was trembling.

What would have taken half a month to complete? This monster can be pulled out in just two hours?

But the images on the screen are undeniable facts.

Kogas swung his arms like the wind, and the frozen soil, which even bunker buster bombs could hardly penetrate, became as soft as cotton in his hands.

No one raised any further questions, because it was pointless.

"Report!"

Another technician followed up with a loud shout, his voice urgent.

"Seismic wave monitoring system alarm!"

"Five more burrowing dragons have been discovered digging towards us!"

"Including the remaining ones, there are now a total of eleven burrowing dragons approaching!"

The air in the command room was almost frozen.

The eighth-tier demon god personally led the way, and the city was breached two hours later.

All around, eleven earth-burrowing dragons, like sharks smelling blood, frantically approached.

Beset by internal and external troubles, it is truly a desperate situation!

"drop--"

The red light on the communications station suddenly turned on.

"Report, Chen Jianguo, the lord of Tianyong Underground City, requests a communication connection."

"Take the call," Lin Shigong said in a hoarse voice.

A split screen popped up on the big screen, and Chen Jianguo's face appeared on it.

The city lord, a few years older than Lin Shigong, frowned deeply, his face filled with worry.

"Old Lin."

"The demon is digging in your direction; our drones have spotted it." He paused.

"you……"

The words were left unsaid, but everyone present understood.

Lin Shigong looked at Chen Jianguo's tense face and suddenly smiled.

His smile was faint and calm.

"Everything is ready."

Just five words.

Chen Jianguo opened his mouth.

Ready.

What have you prepared?

Is that antimatter bomb ready?

Or are they prepared for the entire city to perish?

He wanted to ask, but swallowed the words back.

Because no matter which answer you choose, the result will be the same.

From the city lord to the last soldier, none of the people from Tianxiong City intended to leave alive.

After a two-second silence, Lin Shigong changed the subject:

"How's the situation over there?"

Chen Jianguo came to his senses and said in a deep voice:

"Six earth-burrowing dragons are approaching Tianyong City."

"We are laying mines according to the original plan, and we will bomb as many as we can."

He glanced at Lin Shigong.

"You guys should have them too, right?"

"have."

Lin Shigong nodded, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"So far, more than a dozen are close to completion."

"But these are just lice; we can blast as many as they come, and we can hold out for now."

His voice suddenly turned cold as he said this.

"The real problem is that demon god."

Chen Jianguo paused for a moment, then asked:

"What are you planning to do?"

Lin Shigong looked at him, his gaze deep.

"Wait for him to enter the city."

Chen Jianguo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Waiting for it to enter the city...

This means that Tianxiong City must open its gates and let this demon god who can destroy everything into its heart.

Then, detonate the antimatter bomb, dragging it down to hell with it.

Chen Jianguo gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saluted:

"Old Lin, take care."

"Take care of yourself."

The video cuts off.

The command center fell silent again, with only the hum of the equipment and faint vibrations coming from afar.

On the big screen, Kogas's tunneling continued uninterrupted.

The massive figure moved steadily forward in the tunnel, each swing of its arm shortening the distance.

The countdown is still going on.

In this oppressive silence,

"etc!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned around in a flash.

He was a young staff officer in his early thirties. He suddenly stood up, his eyes shining.

"Gentlemen, I have an idea!"

He rushed to the screen, his fingers flying across the image to draw a line.

"Why do we have to wait until the demon god enters the city before detonating it?!"

Lin Shigong stared at him, raised his hand, and gestured for him to continue.

The young staff officer was panting heavily, speaking rapidly but clearly and logically:

"The demon is digging towards us along the main tunnel, isn't that right?"

"But the lower half of that tunnel is still intact! There's already a roadbed inside; military vehicles could easily drive up!"

His finger jabbed heavily at a node in the diagram.

"We can turn the tables! Load antimatter bombs onto trucks, transport them along the tunnel, and deploy them directly on its inevitable path!"

"At this location, in the middle of the tunnel, it's about three to four kilometers from our underground city!"

"Once it reaches the detonation point, detonate it remotely!"

He turned around, looked at all the officers, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"The absolute kill radius of an antimatter bomb is about two kilometers."

"As long as we detonate it three or four kilometers away, it will take all the damage in front of it, while we'll act as a buffer with several kilometers of rock behind it!"

The young staff officer swallowed hard.

"This will not only ensure the demon god is killed..."

"We all have a chance to survive!!"

The moment the last few words were spoken, the entire command center seemed to be put on pause.

Everyone was stunned.

The next second, several pairs of eyes lit up at the same time.

The adjutant suddenly jumped up from his chair and slapped his thigh:

"That's right!!"

"We had a contingency plan to let it into the city, but that was a desperate situation we had no other choice!"

"But now it's slowly digging its own tunnel, which is like handing us a fuse to set us on the brink of disaster!"

An old staff officer rushed to the front of the stage, so excited that his glasses were askew.

"The bombs were already in special safes, and the heavy military vehicles escorting them were on standby."

"Drive straight into the tunnel, stop at the designated coordinates, and all we need to do is calculate the demon's digging speed!"

He slammed his fist on the control panel, gritting his teeth.

"Send it to heaven the very second it gets close!"

"Blow it to smithereens!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, with the fervor of someone in hell looking up at the light of day.

Who the hell would want to die if they could win this battle alive?
