Chapter 572 Monster Invasion of Ershou City
That terrifying pressure that crushed the soul showed no signs of abating.
The entire command center felt like it had been deprived of oxygen, with limp, sprawling bodies lying everywhere.
Some people were convulsing unconsciously on the ground, some were desperately clutching their chests and dry heaving, and many more were cowering in corners, trembling as if they had seen a ghost.
A man with a general's star on his shoulder gripped the edge of the table tightly.
He tried three times before he could barely prop himself up with his trembling legs, gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath:
"Damn it... what on earth is going on?!"
Park Chang-da was still kneeling on the ground.
The excruciating pain of his kneecap slamming into the floor tiles actually brought him back to his senses.
He gripped the armrests of the leather seat tightly, pulling and tugging at himself as he stood up.
His vision blurred and his stomach churned with acid, but he forced it back down.
He was panting heavily as he looked around.
Less than a third of them can stand up straight on their own.
"What...what the hell is this thing?" a staff officer muttered, his face pale.
"A new type of sonic weapon?"
"It doesn't seem like it," the general denied.
"I've experienced sonic weapons before, and they're not like that!"
"Could it be Great Xia's secret weapon?" another person's voice trembled with tears. "They've attacked?"
Before he could finish speaking...
"not good!!!"
A technician who was hunched over his computer suddenly screamed.
The images on the screen made him forget even his fear.
"Earthquake source... seismic signals are everywhere!" His finger trembled violently as he pointed at the screen.
"We're surrounded!"
Park Chang-da turned his head abruptly.
On the large real-time monitoring screen, in the very center of the structural diagram of the underground city of Ershou, countless blood-red dots were flashing continuously.
Like a rapidly tightening spiderweb of death.
The command center was in an uproar.
"The Great Xia has attacked?!"
"So many missiles firing at the same time?!" The general rushed toward the screen in three quick steps.
"No...that's not right!"
The technician frantically typed on the keyboard, his face as white as a sheet.
"Some earthquakes originated not on the surface... but underground!"
"What?" Park Chang-da's pupils shrank suddenly.
"There are also seismic sources underground, and they're moving horizontally!" The technician stared despairingly at the several red lines.
"They're coming for us!"
Park Chang-da's mind went blank.
Advance from underground?
"Did another dungeon send in with a tunnel boring machine?" he blurted out.
"Impossible!" the technician immediately rejected.
"The tunneling speed is outrageous! No machine of any model can dig this fast! At this speed..."
He swallowed hard.
"Within eighteen minutes at most, the nearest epicenter will break through our outer walls."
Eighteen minutes.
This number left many people somewhat stunned.
"Damn it! Eighteen minutes?! We don't even know who the enemy is!"
"Whoever it is, we have to be prepared!" Park Chang-da roared.
No matter who comes, we can't just sit here and wait to die.
"Command!" he shouted in a low voice.
"Prepare our troops for battle!"
The order has been passed down.
Executable effects...
Of the 40,000 troops stationed in Ershou City, the majority were just there to get by and had no combat experience.
Even more deadly is that the oppressive force that makes one's soul tremble still tightly shrouds the underground city.
The soldiers at the lower ranks looked ashen-faced and could barely hold their guns steady.
Some people had only taken two steps when their legs gave way and they collapsed to their knees.
Several new recruits simply huddled in a corner, heads in their hands, their faces covered in snot and tears, and wouldn't budge no matter how much they were kicked.
The officers drew their pistols and beat and cursed the soldiers, barely managing to get them back to the defensive line.
Everyone held their guns, staring intently at the direction of the outer wall.
The underground tremors grew increasingly violent.
The floor was shaking violently, the walls were cracking with a sickening sound, and the ceiling lights were flickering.
"They're here...they're here!!!" the forward observation whistle screamed hoarsely.
boom--!!!
With a deafening roar, the load-bearing wall, several meters thick, was instantly torn apart!
The steel bars mixed with concrete blocks exploded like cannonballs, and the sandbag bunkers at the front were instantly vaporized.
Two unfortunate soldiers were struck by the boulder and turned into a pile of mud without even a scream.
Amidst the billowing dust, a massive, suffocatingly large circular outline emerged.
It was a gaping maw of abyss covered in spiraling barbs.
Like a giant meat grinder, it was crunching and chewing on steel bars and rubble. Behind the gaping maw was a burly body covered in dark brown heavy armor.
This is an alien nightmare that absolutely does not exist on Earth.
The soldiers on the defensive line were completely dumbfounded.
A corporal, holding an assault rifle, was trembling with fear.
"Damn it! What...what kind of monster is this...?"
Only after the earth-burrowing dragon squeezed its body, which was over ten meters long, through the hole in the wall did someone finally shout.
"Fire!!! Kill it!"
Fear was instantly ignited, and everyone frantically pulled the trigger.
Da da da da!
Dense flashes of fire flickered in the dark dungeon as countless bullets rained down on the burrowing dragon's carapace.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The barrage of bullets, powerful enough to tear apart an armored vehicle, struck the dark brown armor and bounced off.
The burrowing dragon completely ignored these scratching attacks. It wriggled its body and, like a runaway high-speed train, ran straight over the defense line.
"I can't break through! Help!"
The soldiers in the front row completely broke down, dropped their guns, and ran away.
Whoosh—Boom!
Several RPG rockets, trailing plumes of fire, struck the side of the burrowing dragon, blasting open a small piece of its armor.
Dark red flesh was exposed to the air, oozing a sizzling, yellowish-green acidic liquid.
There's blood!
But this insignificant pain only enraged the beast.
The burrowing dragon let out a deep roar, its massive body suddenly accelerating, crashing into the first line of defense with a thunderous boom.
Metal sheets, sandbags, human bodies... all turned into blood and flesh mud beneath it.
However, true despair is only just beginning to emerge.
From the tunnel dug by the earth-burrowing dragon, a dark mass of figures began to emerge.
One, two, ten, a hundred...
It was like opening the gates of hell.
The abyssal hound, as large as an ox, surged out on all fours, trampling over the bodies of its companions.
The heavily armored demon soldier, standing four meters tall, dragged his jagged giant blade backwards and strode heavily into the arena.
Fifth and sixth tier elite demon units moved through the area as if it were empty!
Hundreds and thousands of demons surged through the hole like a black tide.
Boom!! Boom!!
At the same time, the walls of the other three directions in the dungeon were smashed open one after another!
Behind each burrowing dragon was a legion of bloodthirsty monsters.
Besieged on all sides!
The South Korean army collapsed completely within five minutes.
No tactic can counter this overwhelming supernatural massacre.
The soldiers threw down their weapons and fled in a frenzy, howling as they charged into the ranks of civilians. The officers’ impotent rage was completely drowned out by the sounds of chewing and screams.
In the command center, Park Chang-da slumped in a leather chair, his breath caught in his throat as he watched the monitor.
Just a few dozen minutes ago, he was sitting here, sipping coffee and fantasizing about how to divide up the Great Xia's legacy.
"Lord...the Lord has given the order!" The advisor shook his shoulders frantically. "These monstrous things...what do we do?!"
Just then.
A loud rumble came from the main wall on the east side.
The several-meter-thick special concrete wall collapsed with a roar, sending dust billowing straight up to the dome.
Several earth-burrowing dragons emerged from within, joining together.
A terrifying silhouette, hundreds of meters tall, slightly bent over, squeezed in from the entrance of the giant tunnel.
It slowly straightened up.
The solid dome was shattered by its back, and debris rained down as its body spanned several ceiling levels.
Kogas lowered his head, his crimson giant eyes looking down at the ant-like humans.
He grinned, revealing a row of jet-black fangs.
