Chapter 560 The Final Tranquility

at the same time.

Tianxiong Underground City, entrance to the main road on the first level.

The last two-meter-thick explosion-proof gate was already locked tightly.

Outside the gate is the main tunnel leading to the surface.

A continuous rumbling sound came from deep within the tunnel, making the alloy steel plates underfoot feel numb.

That was the sound of Kogas frantically digging in the ground several kilometers away.

A dark gray heavy military truck lay silently in the darkness.

At the rear of the carriage, a special black box, about two meters square, was firmly fixed to the chassis by steel cables as thick as a child's arm.

Fourteen heavily armed special forces soldiers were scattered around the military vehicle.

The oppressive aura of the demon god's domain was omnipresent, like a heavy burden pressing down on everyone's shoulders, making even breathing more difficult than usual.

These veterans, who had survived countless battles, didn't utter a sound. They had undergone the most extreme stress training, and their willpower was harder than armor steel.

But even the strongest string will break if it is kept taut.

"Whoa!"

The captain leaned against the tire, pulled a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, bit open the seal, and tapped it twice.

"Want one for everyone?"

Several rough hands immediately reached out.

After the captain distributed the cigarettes to everyone, he took the last one and tried to light it with a windproof lighter after several attempts.

He took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of thick fog.

A dark-skinned, thin soldier next to him tilted his head, took a couple of puffs, and suddenly laughed.

"Captain, what do you think the demon's expression will be when it digs right up to us, sees this car explode, and then detonates?"

The captain glanced at him sideways. "He'll probably be overjoyed."

"Haha, that would be a truly 'surprising' surprise!"

The skinny, dark-skinned soldier deliberately dragged out his voice, making the last syllable sound extremely mocking.

"Heh—hahaha!"

Several people couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Laughter echoed through the empty passageway, sounding somewhat absurd against the distant rumble of excavation.

However, the fingers holding their cigarettes were trembling slightly.

The cigarette ash fell onto the combat boots like fine snowflakes.

Another soldier wearing glasses exhaled a smoke ring, his glasses fogged up.

He wiped his face with his sleeve and suddenly sighed.

"Damn, you probably won't believe it if I told you."

"Back in high school, they taught antimatter in physics class."

"The teacher was giving a spiel on stage, saying that just one milligram of this stuff could flatten a city, but with the current level of human technology, it would take at least a hundred years to make it."

"What was the result?"

He gestured with his chin toward the military vehicle behind him.

"More than a decade has passed, and there's still one behind me."

"I'll press the detonation button myself."

The bespectacled soldier pushed up his glasses, his face full of regret.

"I really want to make a video and show it to my physics teacher."

"Make him open his eyes wide and take a good look at what this is!! Isn't that a slap in the face?!"

The captain was amused by him and jokingly scolded:

"Come on! What time is it and you're still thinking about revenge and slapping me in the face?"

"Didn't your teacher say you weren't cut out for studying? Why is he still holding that grudge?"

A burly machine gunner immediately took over:

"Captain, you don't know, the fourth brother resents that teacher because that old man ruined his first love with his girlfriend!"

"I get so angry just thinking about it!"

The bespectacled soldier slapped his thigh, nearly knocking his cigarette away, his emotions suddenly flaring up.

"I was getting along really well with that girl from the next class, but he called my parents in, saying it was affecting my studies, and he totally ruined it!"

"Later I joined the army and entered the special forces, wanting to go back and show that old man if I was capable, but the army had discipline and wouldn't allow me to reveal my identity."

"I've been holding back for so many years, and I've never had a chance to show off."

He got angrier and angrier as he talked, and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Damn it, I haven't dated anyone since my first love ended."

"I've been single for over ten years, what a damn waste to die like this!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire passageway fell silent for half a second.

"Wait..." The big guy's eyes widened as if he'd seen a ghost.

"You said you've been single for over ten years??"

"You always talk about three relationships after lights out in the dorm, and you have such a smooth-talking way of saying those cheesy things..."

"So you're a virgin?!"

The bespectacled soldier's face flushed red all the way to the back of his neck, and he coughed repeatedly before realizing that he had let the truth slip.

It’s over.

He had cultivated a "veteran lover" persona in the military for several years, but with just one sentence, his true colors were stripped away.

He used to memorize those dirty jokes from the internet and tell them as if they were his own experiences. He told each one vividly, and his comrades would give him a thumbs up after listening to him, saying that a veteran is a veteran.

It turned out to be all made up.

I haven't even had a complete romantic relationship experience!

"You little rascal!!"

The skinny, dark-skinned soldier jumped up from the ground, pointing at the bespectacled soldier and laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Well done, fourth brother! You deserve an Oscar!"

"Last time you said your ex-girlfriend really enjoyed cooking with you. Were you just daydreaming?"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

The fourteen tough guys were all in stitches.

Some people laughed so hard they dropped their cigarettes, while others laughed so hard they were pounding the car tires.

The bespectacled soldier, his face flushed, held the cigarette tightly between his teeth, unable to utter a single word, wishing he could disappear into that antimatter safe.

Laughter echoed through the corridor.

But as they laughed, their voices gradually faded.

One of them stopped laughing, looked down at the cigarette butt, and fell silent.

Then the two of them.

Then everyone.

It's not funny at all, but they know they have to laugh.

This is because people who are constantly under high stress will make wrong judgments and take wrong actions.

As elite special forces soldiers, especially in this mission, they absolutely cannot afford the slightest mistake.

They wouldn't allow their mental state to lower the success rate of the mission by even 0.1%!

The roaring sound continued at the far end of the passage.

a bit.

Another one.

Each sound is closer than the last.

Kogas's domain pressure seemed to gradually increase as they got closer.

Like an invisible hand, it grips everyone's heart, slowly tightening its grip.

None of the fourteen people spoke to break the silence.

They don't need to say anything.

I said everything that needed to be said when I received this assignment.

The tension that needed to be relieved has just subsided.

All that's left is to wait.

When that demon god was right in front of them.

Then, press that button.

The captain stubbed out his cigarette in his boot, slowly stood up, and stretched his neck.

His lips still held a smile, but his eyes had completely changed.

That was the look in a hunter's eyes.

Hunters are not afraid of large prey; no matter how big the prey is, once it's caught in the trap, it's theirs.

.......

The other end of the tunnel.

A few kilometers away.

Kogas is like a tireless, relentless bulldozer.

He waved his arms wildly, tearing apart the frozen soil and solid rocks blocking his way like paper, carving out a road to heaven from the ground.

We were less than four kilometers away from that human nest.

With his powerful domain perception, he could already faintly "smell" the fear emanating from the insects.

But in that very instant...

Kogas suddenly stopped moving.

The arms, which could be smashed by a single punch even by the World Tree, suddenly hovered in mid-air.

Its crimson pupils narrowed slightly, and its massive head slowly tilted forward.
