Chapter 1437: The Fight in Huaxia Base

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Large numbers of underground creatures gathered around Huaxia Base, and all the other animals and zombies had been driven away. No one in the base could leave, not even the level-seven ones like Han Xiao. Every time a relatively strong person attempted to leave the base, a level-eight underground creature would come out of the crowd to attack that person.

As the level-nine monster gave a thunderous roar and released its mighty vibe, many commoners in the base popped their eyes and fainted, falling to the ground with their eyes, nose, and mouth bleeding.

“What do we do?” Wei Haichao stood behind Si Kongchen, looking at the latter. He was actually trying to remind him that it was time for him to step up. After all, he was the only level-nine superpower possessor in the base, the only person who had a chance against the monster. If he refused to fight the monster, the entire Huaxia Base would be flattened by it.

Si Kongchen raised his head to look at the monster, which had even covered the sky, staying silent and motionless. Wei Haichao turned and glanced at Han Xiao, who was standing by his side. They both knitted their brows slightly. As Si Kongchen silently stared at the monster in the sky without making any move, Han Xiao abruptly turned to leave.

“Where are you going?” Wei Haichao asked.

Han Xiao turned his head slightly back and responded, “We still have some weapons for these monsters. I’m going to take those out and put them in use. We can’t kill the one in the sky, but we can certainly take down the ones on the ground.”

After saying that, he left without looking back. He didn’t even ask Si Kongchen for permission.

At that time, Si Kongchen finally started talking, “Prepare the cannons. Tell everyone to get into the underground shelter.”

“I get it,” Wei Haichao nodded and quickly turned and glanced at his subordinate, who was standing behind him. The man nodded and then hurriedly left together with a few other men.

Si Kongchen clenched his fists slightly and lifted his heels. In the next second, he rose into the sky like a bolt of lightning. At the same time, a giant, purple-red fireball descended from the air.

“Roar!” The monster raised its head and glanced at the dazzling fireball. A trace of scorn could be detected from its eyes. Next, it turned back, looking at Si Kongchen, who was floating in the air, not far away from itself.

Looking at the monster, Si Kongchen had a hand raised and fingers spread, as though he was holding something. Suddenly, he brought that hand down and then swung his arm toward the monster.

Boom! The enormous fireball in the sky flashed across the air and showed up at the back of the monster’s neck, landing on its neck. The monster didn’t attempt to dodge, but let the fireball land right on its neck.

As Si Kongchen was fighting the monster in the air, an alarm in Huaxia Base went off. The alarm was special, not like the kind that people would usually hear when enemies attacked.

“What does this alarm mean?” Some people turned to where the alarm was heard from with confusion.

“This alarm…” The soldiers who were guarding on top of the fence wall all gave a start when they heard the alarm. Then, as something crossed their minds, they started drawing back quickly.

“Retreat! Retreat!” The commander abruptly gave the order loudly. While shouting, he led his soldiers toward the underground shelter quickly.

After the alarm went off, the military force in each district started to gather the residents and open the entrances to the underground shelter for them.

As Si Kongchen launched his first attack, people raised their heads to look at the monster in the sky. They saw the fireball explode on the monster’s neck, but its body stayed still, floating in the sky.

Si Kongchen’s face immediately grew sullen as he found that his attack was completely harmless to the monster. They were both at level-nine, but his power was ineffective to the monster.

As the raging fire and the dense smoke both faded, the monster’s head could be seen again, perfectly unharmed. It looked at Si Kongchen coldly, even blinking its eyes.

Next, it opened its mouth toward Si Kongchen and uttered an earth-shaking roar.

“Roar!”

That roar was not the same kind as it had given earlier. As that deafening roar was heard, many people on the ground coughed blood and fell. This time, they wouldn’t wake up again.

The ones who were still outside, and the ones who had already run into the underground shelter, almost all people fell to the ground when the monster roared. About ten seconds later, some of them slowly struggled up with their faces twisted in pain. They looked at the ones lying around them and put their fingers under those people’s noses, finding that many had already stopped breathing.

Fear, despair, and confusion overwhelmed the people who were still awake. Their instinctive desire for living made them try their best to drag their injured bodies toward the shelter.

The monster’s roar killed one-third of the people in the base. In the sky, Si Kongchen was pushed to a mile away by that roar.

“Hem!” As his body stopped moving, he couldn’t help but cough out a mouthful of blood. His vibe had grown much weaker than before.

That was the monster’s attack, which was indiscriminate. Even all the other underground creatures outside the base had automatically lowered their bodies under that roar.

Apart from Huaxia Base people, the people at the other bases and the other living beings in the country all had their hearts thumping at the moment, even including the ones thousands of miles away from the battlefield.

The difference between Si Kongchen and the monster was seen clearly as soon as the monster launched its attack. Si Kongchen was no match for it. They were at the same level, but he was much weaker.

After giving that roar, the monster blinked its huge glass-balls-like eyes and delightedly lashed its tail.

Woosh! Woosh! Its hundreds of meters long tail wagged from side to side and stirred the air, generating strong gusts of wind.

Si Kongchen raised a hand to wipe the blood on his mouth corner slowly and hard. Under the brim of his hat, his masculine face wore a ferocious look. In the next second, he disappeared from where he was and showed up behind the monster’s back.

“Hrrrr!” The moment he showed up at the monster’s back, it turned its head to look at him quietly, seemingly waiting for his next attack.

Si Kongchen didn’t disappoint it as he raised both arms high. Along with his move, fireballs as large and scorching as the first one emerged from the sky. This time, countless fireballs flashed toward the monster like a meteor shower.

On the ground, the injured Wei Haichao and the others were covering their chests, directing the soldiers to prepare a massive weapon.

“Part A initiation completed!”

“Part B initiation completed!”

“Part C initiation completed!”

…

“Part Z initiation completed! Ready to charge!”

“Charge!” Wei Haichao gave a shout when he heard the soldiers.
