Chapter 597: Left?
Plasma rifles fired blinding beams of light, while electromagnetic cannonballs tore through the air.
The high-temperature energy orbs from the plasma cannon slammed directly into the breach, and the turret of the unmanned tank roared continuously.
The next instant, the cubic nitrogen explosives embedded near the wall were detonated simultaneously.
boom--!
A huge ball of fire exploded at the breach.
The intense shockwave swept in all directions, and the metal shields in front of the bunker rattled loudly.
Smoke and firelight mingled together, instantly engulfing the entire area.
The surveillance footage briefly went white.
Then, only swirling dust remained.
Inside the Tianyong City Command Center, everyone was staring at the large screen.
Information officer reports quickly:
"The forward positions have completed the first round of strikes!"
"The breach area is covered by smoke and dust, and the effectiveness of the kill cannot be confirmed at this time!"
Chen Jianguo immediately gave the order:
"All unmanned equipment cease fire and disperse the smoke and dust."
"Let the robot mount the vibration detection equipment on the wall."
"I need to know if there's anything moving behind the wall."
"yes!"
The order was quickly transmitted to the front lines.
The positional fire ceased.
Several fog cannons, normally used to reduce smog on roads, drove out from behind.
This device was originally a civilian modified product. No one expected that it would one day be used on this battlefield to disperse the smoke and dust after the demons' attack.
The fog cannon truck adjusts its angle, its huge air outlet is aimed at the breach area, and the motor starts.
A strong wind howled out, swirling smoke and dust to both sides.
At the same time, several robots quickly approached the wall and fixed the vibration detection equipment to the damaged wall surface.
Once installed, they were immediately withdrawn, and all the lenses were re-aimed at the breach.
The smoke and dust gradually thinned, and the image became clearer.
Soon, everyone saw the result.
The heads of the seven earth-burrowing dragons have all been blown apart.
The massive bone drill bit shattered and deformed, with blood, flesh, and charred tissue smeared around the edges of the wound.
Of their 100-meter-long bodies, more than 80 meters are still stuck in the tunnel.
Judging from the footage, seven enormous corpses almost completely blocked the newly dug tunnel.
In the command center, no one dared to cheer, because everyone understood that the burrowing dragon could not stop the demon god.
If that demon was really behind them, one charge could smash these corpses and the walls together.
Chen Jianguo stared at the screen and said in a deep voice:
"Don't let your guard down, keep a close watch."
"The demon god has not yet appeared."
……
A minute passed.
There was no movement at the breach.
The corpses of the seven earth-burrowing dragons were stuck firmly in the wall, like seven huge fleshy pillars, completely blocking the tunnel.
Inside the command center, everyone's hearts were still pounding, and they even held their breath.
Three minutes passed.
The seven corpses remained motionless.
Some people were puzzled. Several staff officers exchanged glances and whispered:
Something's not right.
"Why isn't the demon god moving? Could we have misjudged it?"
Chen Jianguo's brows were furrowed tightly.
Based on previous assessments, the burrowing dragon swarm was likely paving the way for the demon god.
But now, half the road has been breached, the burrowing dragon has emerged, but the demon god has yet to appear.
This is not reasonable.
This is completely unreasonable!
Chen Jianguo said in a deep voice:
"Don't be careless."
"Wait a little longer."
No sooner had he finished speaking than one of the informants looked up.
"Report!"
"Vibration detected deep within the wall!"
The entire command center tensed up instantly.
Chen Jianguo immediately said:
"Show it on the big screen!"
The next second, the vibration detection graph appeared on the main screen.
Above, a tiny seismic source is pulsating rhythmically, very clearly visible.
Everyone stared intently.
But soon they realized something was wrong.
The epicenter wasn't approaching, but rather far away from Tianyong City.
One of the staff officers paused for a moment, his voice filled with disbelief.
"It seems... to be leaving?"
Chen Jianguo stared at the trajectory of the earthquake's epicenter, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Leave?" he repeated in a low voice.
Why did it leave?
No one could answer immediately.
A few seconds later, one of the staff officers seemed to realize something and hesitated before saying:
"Could it be... sensing the danger of the antimatter bomb?"
Upon hearing this, many people's expressions turned grim.
Another staff officer immediately chimed in:
"Possibly."
"Wasn't Tianxiong City like this before?"
"They also prepared antimatter bombs, intending to detonate them after the demon god entered the city."
"As a result, the demon didn't enter Tianxiong, but instead turned around and went in another direction."
"Now Tianyong City has also deployed antimatter bombs, but it has suddenly retreated."
"This can't just be a coincidence."
A low murmur arose among the crowd.
Some were nervous, some were puzzled, and some finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
No need to die.
At least I don't have to die now.
This was the best news for them.
But Chen Jianguo didn't laugh.
He knew that if the demon god could really sense the threat of the antimatter bomb, then things would be very serious.
While it proved that antimatter bombs could indeed threaten this demon god, it also showed that the demon god was not just a monster that could rampage around recklessly.
It can make judgments and avoid them.
Such an enemy is more terrifying than simply being powerful. How can the Great Xia defeat it?
Chen Jianguo took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
"Report the situation to the Tian Shu General Command immediately."
"Including vibration data, the suspected escape trajectory of the demon god, and speculation on the deterrence of antimatter bombs, all of these were synchronized."
"Furthermore, the front lines should not be withdrawn."
"The unmanned equipment will remain in combat readiness."
"The pre-detonation procedure for the antimatter bomb will not be lifted for the time being."
"No one is allowed to relax until we are certain that the demon is completely gone."
Everyone responded immediately.
"yes!"
.......
Tian Shu Underground City, General Command Center.
Everyone is aware of all the data transmitted back from Tianyong City, as well as Tianyong City's preliminary assessment of the antimatter bomb deterrence.
One of the staff officers sighed softly.
"It seems that the Demon God's perception is even more acute than we expected."
He pointed to the images coming from Tianyong City, his tone heavy.
"Once in Tianxiong City, once in Tianyong City."
"Both times, after the antimatter bomb entered the pre-detonation state, the demon deliberately stopped its advance and changed its route."
"This basically confirms that the other party does indeed possess some kind of danger perception ability."
He paused for a moment at this point.
"As a result, our original plan to set a trap and ambush it has basically failed."
Upon hearing this, many people's faces darkened.
They had previously planned to use the complex terrain of the underground city to lure the demon into the underground, and then use antimatter bombs to carry out a targeted kill.
But now it seems that this path is blocked, and the demon god will avoid danger.
This is very troublesome.
Because the only weapon that the Great Xia can currently confirm as a threat to the Demon God is the antimatter bomb.
If the demon god doesn't take the bait at all, then the so-called "god-killing weapon" will become a knife that can be drawn but can't cut anyone!
