Chapter 696 - 666: The Military’s Trump Card (Part 2)

Using missiles to directly bombard the Abyssal Passage would destabilize it, effectively sealing it temporarily. This would prevent the enemy from sending more reinforcements.

According to the original plan, all the experts on their side had mastered Secret Techniques like the Life-Sacrificing Strike. As long as they could create a situation where they held a numerical advantage, they could have rapidly killed a batch of Fourth Level Mutated Zombies and reaped a fortune in materials.

And when this plan was first executed, it was indeed quite perfect. After all, they had killed 12 Armored Corpses within two minutes, a hunting speed that far exceeded their usual pace.

However, the appearance of the Shadow Demon had disrupted their rhythm, forcing them to initiate this "blockade plan" ahead of schedule.

At this moment, Huo Feiteng stood in the distance with a group of Divine Demon Realm experts, quietly observing the scene.

"General Huo, how long can we keep the Abyssal Passage sealed this way?" Ma Jun asked in a low voice from his side.

Because the Abyssal Passage possessed a powerful self-repair function, it would eventually restabilize, even though it was currently distorted by the violent Energy.

"According to the calculations from the strategy department, after a bombardment with these 10-ton equivalent cruise missiles, the Abyssal Passage generally takes about two minutes to stabilize again."

"We have prepared 15 of these missiles, which is enough to buy us 30 minutes. Now, we must use this time to clinch our victory."

After explaining, Huo Feiteng waved his hand at the crowd. "Alright, I’ll stay here to prevent any surprises. The rest of you, proceed with the plan!"

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison, then quickly vanished from the area.

Huo Feiteng, meanwhile, activated the holographic projection on his wrist computer, commanding the battle remotely while standing guard.

Of course, the Military Department’s strategy division had already formulated an extremely detailed plan. He didn’t need to give too many commands, just issue the orders to execute one contingency plan after another.

By now, more than two minutes had passed since the Abyssal Plane launched its assault, and the military’s war machine was now fully operational.

If one could get a bird’s-eye view of the entire situation from high above, they would see that throughout the city, both Abyssal Creatures and Mutated Zombies were rapidly swarming toward the four areas designated as Trap Districts.

In addition, buildings and roads collapsed one after another as countless Blood Demons surged out from beneath the ground, followed by vast hordes of Mutated Zombies.

Their numbers and scale were no less than the hordes of Mutated Zombies already on the surface.

In other words, in the blink of an eye, the number of Mutated Zombies had effectively doubled.

And the ultimate goal of this massive operation by the Abyssal Plane was merely to kill a group of geniuses who had not yet fully matured.

It was no exaggeration to say that the plan the Abyssal Plane was carrying out was complete overkill.

Although the Abyssal Plane had prepared quite thoroughly, the Military Department, having guessed the enemy’s scheme from the start, was hardly going to sit idly by and wait for defeat.

In fact, as soon as they decided to use the eleventh Abyssal Passage as a pilot site, the military had already anticipated the various troubles that would arise and had been making preparations ever since.

And now, as the Abyssal Plane made its move, these trump cards were being revealed one by one.

At this moment, on a main road, a horde of over 3,000 Abyssal Creatures was stampeding toward one of the Trap Districts.

However, just as they passed an inconspicuous, dilapidated house...

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A rain of Mortar shells flew out from within, landing right in the middle of the Abyssal Creatures.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

What followed was a series of dense explosions. Under the saturation bombardment of hundreds of Mortar shells, countless Abyssal Creatures had their bones shattered and tendons torn.

In that single exchange, the number of dead Abyssal Creatures exceeded 500. Even three of the Mutated Zombies in command were killed directly in the chain of explosions.

But it wasn’t over. Following the Mortars were the Purgatory Bombs, which had an even wider area of effect.

Basketball-sized Purgatory Bombs shot into the sky. When they detonated, countless thumb-sized bomblets rained down in all directions, blanketing half the street.

Many of the Abyssal Creatures that hadn’t yet recovered from the first wave of explosions were powerless against the second. Those that were already wounded were either killed or maimed by the continuous bombardment.

But the two waves of saturation bombing were just the beginning. Next, hundreds of Combat Robots and over a thousand Attack Drones rushed out from the inconspicuous, dilapidated house, charging straight into the horde of Abyssal Creatures.

By the time the Mutated Zombies looked at the inconspicuous, dilapidated house again, it was nothing like its original appearance.

The once-rickety house now had its outer walls reinforced with armor plating. Hundreds of Heavy Machine Guns bristled from its exterior. It was an armed fortress.

The military had used camouflage simulators and various types of shielding devices to disguise an armed fortress as an inconspicuous, dilapidated house.

Now, hundreds of automated cannons opened fire, and soldiers inside unleashed a hail of bullets. Abyssal Creatures within 300 meters of the fortress were swiftly gunned down.

In the end, less than half of the more than 3,000 Abyssal Creatures managed to escape the armed fortress’s firing range.

As the Abyssal Creatures fled, the armed fortress reverted to its disguised form as a dilapidated house, continuing to stand guard on the main road, awaiting the arrival of the next wave.

The military didn’t have just one of these armed fortresses built on the main roads. Nearly every main road leading to the four Trap Districts was equipped with them, some even having more than one.

It was safe to say that with the existence of these armed fortresses, they could annihilate at least eighty percent of the Abyssal Creatures attempting to reach the trap zones as reinforcements.

Elsewhere, at the main military base outside Changshi City, military transport planes were taking off one after another. Inside were not simple paratroopers, but fully armed Mecha.

Each large transport plane could normally carry 1,000 soldiers. Even when used to transport Mecha, it could carry a full 100 units at maximum capacity.

As far as the eye could see, a total of 300 armed transport planes were taking off, carrying as many as 30,000 Mecha, some of which were even Rare Level Mecha.

This was the military’s second trump card.

In fact, after the Abyssal Plane’s sneak attack on the students at the beginning of the school year, the strategy department had certainly considered the possibility that the enemy might also have forces lying in ambush underground.

Although they couldn’t deal with the Mutated Zombies underground, the enemy could control the ground below, while they could control the sky above.
