Chapter 86 Critical Situation! Counter-Invasion Plan B!

Elder Muyu witnessed this scene from the air and was utterly horrified.

"Oh no!!!"

He looked down at the defensive line below, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse from the giant beast's charge, and then at the unstoppable black afterimage, his teeth grinding together.

With a final grit of his teeth, he turned the griffin around and chased after Volaz.

"A thicket of thorns!"

He pointed his staff forward, and his dwindling magical power surged forth wildly.

As Woraz advanced, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless dark green vines intertwined and rose up, forming a vine wall hundreds of meters long and tens of meters thick.

however,

"Get the hell out of my way!"

With a roar, Volaz swung his giant axe in a wide arc, slashing down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

"boom--!!!"

Wood chips and green sap flew together.

It actually managed to carve out a passage through the thick wall made of tough vines!

Volaz's figure passed right through it, and the wild, tangled vines of demons entangled him, only to be snapped by his brute force.

"call out--"

Several shells, their tails spitting fire, hurtled towards it. Without blinking, it slightly changed direction, altering the distance by tens of meters at terrifying speed.

The shell missed its target, but its momentum was unstoppable!

Elder Muyu was horrified. He slapped the griffin beneath him.

"Oh, old friend, hurry up and catch up with it!"

Despite using all sorts of magic, they could only watch helplessly as the dark figure disappeared into the distance.

"Lord Kyle, you must stop this guy..."

......

Beneath the beam of light.

After the initial difficult period, the portal is now opening at a faster speed, and its diameter has reached three meters.

Because it is circular, one-third of the lower half of the portal is embedded in the ground, forming an archway, which is covered with metal plates to prevent accidental passage.

"Quick, quick, everyone run! Be careful not to touch the edge!"

At the door, an officer was giving orders and shouting.

Fully armed Xia soldiers poured out of the crowd, swiftly carrying various supplies.

Interspersed among them are tracked infantry fighting vehicles, such as the Mengshi assault vehicle, which is over two meters wide and can pass through a portal.

Around the portal, hundreds of soldiers were building layers upon layers of defensive fortifications.

"Coordinates xxx.xxx, release!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang—"

Not far away, soldiers in the artillery platoon were operating five cannons to provide continuous fire support to the front line.

Some soldiers, organized into platoons, marched rapidly to the front lines to participate in the battle.

The atmosphere in the command center inside the portal was heavy.

On ten large screens, real-time images flickered and interleaved.

The battle situation on the front lines was transmitted back in real time via drones. Every explosion and every casualty touched the hearts of everyone.

Academician Qian Zhenhua clasped his hands together, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Zhao Gang's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he couldn't help but say:

"What are they trying to do? Despite suffering such heavy casualties under heavy fire, they still launched a fierce attack?"

The demons' attack, undeterred by casualties and disregarding costs, exceeded everyone's expectations.

This is not a wise move.

After pondering for a moment while looking at the screen, Long Zhan turned to the communications soldier and said:

"Order the guards to send Commander Lin to the third line of defense; safety is paramount."

"Yes, sir!" the soldier replied.

At that moment, a communications soldier responsible for intelligence gathering suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Report! Dangerous target detected!"

"This dangerous target has broken away from the main force and is advancing towards us at extremely high speed!"

"Too fast; artillery fire cannot effectively stop it!"

Urgent reports rang out in the command center.

Long Zhan frowned deeply.

"What! It still won't give up!"

"Switch to home screen!"

The scene switched instantly.

A blurry black afterimage left a straight trail across the chaotic battlefield.

It ignored all the elves and demons along its path; any creature that stood in its way was instantly smashed into a cloud of blood mist upon contact.

Neither the elven vine magic nor the holy light of the holy humans could stop its advance.

Even more frightening is that the guided shells fired by the artillery cannot keep up with its speed to react!

Often, after locking on, the opponent manages to dodge it at the last second, and it explodes only a few meters away from the target, with the shockwave and fragment damage being completely ignored.

As for minor superficial injuries, they healed completely in no time.

It can be said that as long as you are not shot in the body, you will not be able to hurt it much!

Zhao Gang's expression changed.

"We can't let it come any closer!"

Long Zhan stared intently at the approaching black shadow on the screen, his eyes flashing rapidly.

That terrifying defensive power, that speed beyond human imagination—if such a creature were to break through the portal and arrive on Earth…

The consequences could be disastrous!

That would be another catastrophe on top of the apocalypse!

Long Zhan felt a chill run down his spine, gritted his teeth, and gave the order.

"Pass on my orders!"

"All artillery fire must cease its suppression of the front lines!"

"Switch to preventing this dangerous target from approaching the portal and initiate indiscriminate fire!"

"Activate Level B contingency plan simultaneously."

Those six simple words instantly silenced the entire command center.

Zhao Gang's pupils suddenly contracted.

"General Long! Are you sure?"

Qian Zhenhua trembled all over, and said in disbelief:

"Plan B... Plan B? You want to..."

Ignoring their shock, Long Zhan issued more specific instructions.

"Send the nuclear warheads over immediately!"

"Set the yield to 35 kilotons and detonate remotely!"

"yes!"

The communications soldier stood at attention and saluted, then swiftly carried out the order.

This series of commands took less than ten seconds.

Decisive and resolute!

Plan B is an emergency counter-intrusion plan.

If the situation gets out of control, this underground base will be locked down, and the outside troops will surround it and use every means to seal it off.

For example, regardless of the cost, the entire underground base could be filled with ultra-high strength concrete of grade C200 or higher, encasing this layer in a closed, giant sphere.

Furthermore, they established new blockade lines outside, heavily guarded year-round, with nuclear weapons ready to be activated at any time.

Defend against any creature that comes out of it!

Only in this way can we ensure that Earth is not invaded by other worlds!

Soon, several soldiers secured a cylindrical object, about 1.2 meters long, dark green, and marked with a striking red skull and crossbones warning symbol, to a specially made small transport vehicle.

It is a tactical nuclear warhead!

"Long Zhan!" Zhao Gang rushed to him in a few steps, even calling out his name in his haste.

His voice trembled as he said:

Have you thought this through?

Academician Qian Zhenhua also hurriedly offered his advice.

"There are still thousands of our soldiers outside! And Lin Mo too!"

"And with the portal there, if it's detonated, all 20,000 of our soldiers will perish!"

"But I have no other choice!" Long Zhan suddenly roared at the two of them.

He raised his hand and pointed to the black shadow on the screen that had broken through the elven mage's territory and was less than four kilometers away from the portal.

"A speed exceeding 100 meters per second! Its abnormal defense can withstand 155mm high-explosive rounds; even thermobaric bombs probably wouldn't be able to deal with it."

"Even our armor-piercing shells, due to inertia (as well as dispersion and circular error), cannot accurately hit it!"

"Once this thing gets here, who can stop it, you tell me!!!"

"How long can an underground city with a population of ten million withstand it?!"

"I'm saving billions of lives!"
