Chapter 135 Platycodon’s anger
On the towering Haitao Building,
Two men dressed in suits stood on the edge of the rooftop, wearing top hats, their faces obscured in the darkness, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
"What a pity, such a good batch of seeds has been wasted."
The man with the buzz cut standing on the high-rise building looked down at the scene below, his words filled with endless sighs. They had been searching for these people for a long time, and now they were all going to be cannon fodder.
"There's nothing we can do. Princess Yugiri has a terrible sense of direction; she needs a signpost," the bald man standing beside him said matter-of-factly.
"By the way, senior, do you know why Lord Binghe was killed by Princess Huandie?"
The man with the buzz cut turned around and took out a crystal ball from his pocket. Inside, a video of the ruthless Phantom Butterfly wreaking havoc was playing. This video was now a must-have for every Abyss Calamity Beast, telling just how insane Princess Phantom Butterfly really was.
This is also an indirect warning to those calamity beasts who dare to offend the Demoness's majesty.
The bald man glanced at it, what else could he say? "Trying to defy the authority of the Abyss Demoness."
As soon as this word comes out,
Both of them were silent for a while.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the beauty of the Four Demon Beauties?
After entering the Abyss, almost everyone learned about the rules of the Abyss Lord's descent. The Abyss Lord has three artifacts, each of which seeks out a master it recognizes and gains extraordinary power.
Now that the Flower of God and the Demon Sword Grammer have been revealed, only the Cursed Armor remains missing.
Of these three, only the last survivor will gain the approval of the Lord of the Abyss.
Although it was difficult, he truly became the Lord of the Abyss, possessing the highest authority in the Abyss.
At that time, I'll have the four demonesses serve me every day.
The holy Princess Duluo, the alluring Princess Iris, the rebellious Princess Huandie, the adorable Princess Xiwu—various flavors can be combined at will, and just thinking about it is exhilarating.
After we've enjoyed ourselves, we'll take over the entire planet, and then we can do whatever we want.
boom!
A violent explosion rang out, and the endless shouts and screams of the crowd brutally pulled the two back to reality.
The bald man at the head turned his head and slowly spoke:
"By the way, do you still have any quotas left for the Abyss Hall? I haven't been feeling well these past few days and would like to go in and take a look."
1
"no."
The man with the buzz cut remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
He himself hadn't been inside for a week or two and was already plagued by illness. Now that he had finally managed to get a quota, how could he possibly give it up?
The bald man was somewhat annoyed. He was the one who had dragged the crew-cut man into this abyss. If it weren't for the fact that the man seemed so timid and easy to control, he wouldn't have given him the spot.
Unexpectedly, the other party only received a word of praise from the gray-clad man and now doesn't take him seriously. If that's the case, then they'll be in big trouble in the future.
"Xiao Xiang, you're being narrow-minded. Young people have many opportunities ahead of them. Right now, the most important thing for you is to learn patience and self-control..."
Upon hearing these familiar words, the man with the buzz cut's impeccably tailored suit ripped open, and the tough, sharp bone spurs on his arm pierced straight into the other man's crystal core.
Amidst the other person's shocked and bewildered gaze, the crew-cut man spat out, "I'm not even human anymore, and you're still trying to manipulate me!" and cleanly pulled out the blood-stained bone spur.
He slowly turned around, gazing at the black-robed figure rushing out of the building, transforming into a terrifying, man-eating beast. With a swift stroke, blood splattered as the blade fell.
A slight smile of enjoyment appeared on his face.
Compared to being bullied by classmates a few years ago, being ruthlessly exploited by unscrupulous bosses after entering society, being verbally abused and ridiculed by a haggard wife after marriage, and being looked down upon by relatives and friends during the New Year, feeling worse than a dog, this feeling of being like God and crushing ants is just wonderful.
The moment the demon appeared, the Security Bureau received orders, and the special operations team quickly set off. Unlike the forces maintaining order, they were also tasked with assisting the magical girls in fighting the monsters.
In the passenger seat, Peng Liang gazed out the window, looking preoccupied.
The military vehicle entered the tunnel, a place where sunlight couldn't reach, and visibility was only maintained by the tunnel lights and the vehicle's headlights.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of the car.
The bright light instantly heightened Peng Liang's long-standing sense of danger, making the hairs on his arms stand on end.
He instinctively turned the steering wheel for the driver, and the military vehicle drifted through the tunnel, moving into another lane.
The next moment, the bright light brushed past the car.
Accompanied by an unbearable stench, a bright light struck the tunnel entrance, followed by a violent explosion that engulfed several vehicles in flames.
Peng Liang, panting heavily, looked back at the scene with lingering fear. They had probably encountered a Demon Lord, and a Demon Lord in a frenzied state at that.
After Peng Liang got out of the car, he looked at the dozen or so private cars and a bus nearby.
A dense crowd emerged from the car, each person's face bearing varying degrees of fear.
This is troublesome.
"Xiao Qi, you immediately lead Team One and Team Two to organize the evacuation of the crowd. Team Three, follow me to buy time for Team One and Team Two to evacuate the crowd."
"But......
.
"Execute the command."
"yes!"
The vice-captain gritted his teeth. Having dealt with the calamity beasts for so long, how could he not know the terror of the demon? He also understood that the captain was putting his own life at risk.
At the tunnel entrance, Peng Liang led his team to find cover and set up a defensive line.
As a makeshift defensive line appeared,
The entire tunnel was permeated with an indescribable smell. At first, the specially trained special operations team members could tolerate the smell, but as time went on, the smell became somewhat uncomfortable for them.
Not long after, even worse news arrived.
News came from the deputy captain that the tunnel entrance had also been blown up.
The next second, dark shadows spread out from the distant tunnel, and wherever they passed, all the tunnel lights went out.
Monsters are coming!
Abyssal Contaminants, zombie-like creatures.
They act as "scavengers" among the abyssal creatures, specializing in devouring and controlling various biological entities.
Peng Liang's face remained indifferent, but the fear in his eyes revealed that his emotions were not as calm as they appeared, yet he still did not back down an inch.
Their signal disappeared into the tunnel, and the higher-ups would soon receive the information and send people to rescue them. Their mission was to hold off the monsters and buy time for the rescue team to dig a tunnel entrance.
The special operations team was determined, but these monsters would not weaken because of their determination.
They became even more excited, and the pollutants moved much faster.
In an instant, gunfire, grenade explosions, artillery fire, and countless other booming sounds filled the air.
Countless bullets and shells pierced through the bodies of the contaminated creatures, shattering dozens of ferocious and terrifyingly large bodies into pieces.
The number of infected organisms dwindled from hundreds to dozens. But Peng Liang didn't smile. Ordinary guns and cannons wouldn't harm them; their behavior and infection rate were similar to zombies.
However, these contaminated beings are even more terrifying than the zombies in the movies. Even if their bodies are blasted into pieces, the Abyss's Qi will reassemble them.
The special operations team could only use guns to slow their advance.
Visibly, the clumps of black flesh blasted into fragments by the artillery fire began to coalesce, merging from a monster that was only one or two meters long into a gigantic polluted entity that was seven or eight meters long. Its strength was approaching that of the [Eclipse], and it was no longer a monster that humans could deal with.
"No!!"
Peng Liang watched helplessly as the contaminated creature lunged at his teammates, who had been training with him on the field that morning.
As the contaminated creature approached, the soldier decisively pulled out his Glory Grenade. He would rather commit suicide than become such an inhuman monster.
"boom!"
An explosion was heard, marking the first casualty for the special operations team.
This is just the beginning, but it doesn't mean the end.
The rudimentary defenses were no match for the monsters; countless contaminated entities surged in and began slaughtering the special operations team members behind the lines.
"boom!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Several more special operations soldiers have sacrificed their lives.
In my ears, I could hear the deafening roar of countless munitions fired in the tunnel.
The number of people in the team gradually decreased, while the size of the pollutant grew larger and larger, making humans seem like ants in its presence.
However, none of them retreated; they remained firmly rooted to the spot like nails.
As the monster drew closer,
Looking at his teammate who hadn't had time to commit suicide and had become a grotesque mess, a sense of despair flashed through Peng Liang's heart. Unconsciously, his hand had already grasped the "glorious bullet".
"Captain, don't you feel the temperature has dropped a bit?"
Upon hearing his teammate's words, Peng Liang stopped what he was doing and looked behind the tunnel. Despite it being the middle of summer, a strange chill suddenly rose around him.
A blast of ice began to spread from the tunnel exit, freezing the entire tunnel and all the contaminants in an instant.
next moment,
Several more dazzling red, green, and cyan magic beams appeared and bombarded the area violently!
It illuminated the entire tunnel as if it were daytime, making the darkness of the tunnel as bright as day.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"The magical girl has arrived."
The special operations team members cheered and jumped for joy instantly.
Peng Liang loosened his grip, silently watching the magical girls enter the depths of the tunnel, and decisively gave the order.
"The remaining members of Team 3, follow me and evacuate the battlefield!!"
He knew that if they stayed here, they would not only fail to help the magical girl, but would also become a burden to her.
During the retreat, Peng Liang glanced back. The huge, disgusting monster seemed to sense the oppressive force as well. It slowly turned its head, its entire body black and emitting a foul stench. Its face, with indistinct features, opened its toothless mouth.
It's like a materialized shadow of a swamp.
Accompanied by an intensifying stench, a large amount of heat gathered in its throat, then surged out, and a bright light shot towards the end of the tunnel.
The magical girl calmly raised one hand.
The next moment, a thick ice wall materialized in front of her, blocking the corrosive light attack from the contaminant.
After the smoke cleared, the girl with an indifferent expression lowered her arm.
The ice wall in front of them shattered into countless ice spikes, which floated in the air.
With a wave of his hand,
The next second, countless icy spikes swarmed towards the contaminated swarm.
Easily cut the opponent into pieces.
By the time of the evacuation, the tunnel entrance had already been excavated.
In the sky, three armed helicopters hovered in mid-air, while a row of fighter jets streaked through the clouds.
Nearby, a second wave of reinforcements had arrived, with more than a dozen tanks surrounding the tunnel.
The deputy captain approached Peng Liang, gave a respectful salute, and said with red and swollen eyes, "Captain!"
Peng Liang was in a bad mood. Looking at the devastated scene around him, he said gravely, "Save the people first!"
A dozen doctors, under the protection of soldiers, quickly ran over and carried the survivors away one by one. Several other doctors solemnly approached Peng Liang and began to examine him and the members of Team 3.
During the battle just now, he saw the missing special operations team members from Dongguan City.
They all turned into inhuman, polluted beings.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a reporter in a helicopter was reporting on the breaking news:
"Breaking news: Several Abyss Rippers have appeared on Loujing Street in Yeqiu City. Abyss Rippers are high-level abyssal monsters. They are more cruel and cunning than ordinary disaster beasts, and they evolve faster. We have rarely seen them since the Black Tide Crisis."
"Unexpectedly, six of them appeared in Dongguan City at once. The Adjudication Bureau has dispatched adjudicators who are on their way. The local military region immediately sent troops to protect civilians. The following footage will be a live broadcast."
The screen then shifts to a scene resembling hell, featuring six strong, humanoid monsters that look like grizzly bears.
The Abyss Rippers are incredibly wild. They run on all fours and can leap several stories high. Even more terrifying are their incredible strength and resilience, not to mention their razor-sharp claws.
The sense of oppression was extremely strong within those ten-odd seconds.
"Dear viewers, we are currently above Loujing Street in Yeqiu City. Residents living near Loujing Street, please lock your doors and windows and do not go out. The Abyss Rippers are different from the Disaster Beasts; their appetite for humans is comparable to that of zombies in the movies."
A reporter was on the helicopter, working with a photographer next to him, struggling to provide commentary.
Several Abyss Rippers roamed Loujing Street in Yeqiu City, bringing endless panic to the city.
These Abyss Rippers, like rabid dogs, destroyed everything in their path. One of them suddenly turned its gaze to the helicopter in the sky.
The reporter shuddered, a look of terror in his eyes, and said, "Why—why is it looking at me like that?"
The next moment, the Abyss Ripper opened its massive maw, and an indescribable stench spread from it.
"not good!"
In a nearby military camp, a monitor exclaimed in shock, "The Abyss Ripper's internal heat is rising rapidly! It—can attack from a distance?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Abyssal beasts capable of ranged attacks are extremely rare.
As the reporter watched this scene, it was as if death was beckoning.
A massive force surged from the Abyss Ripper's mouth, heading straight for the helicopter where the reporter was located.
This scene was broadcast live by the television station.
Sudden.
A golden arrow seemed to tear through the air, colliding with this force in mid-air.
With a piercing whistling sound, the two forces canceled each other out.
The reporter's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked in another direction and exclaimed excitedly, "Quick, point the camera at her!"
In the scene, a figure dressed in pure white slowly floats in the air, her long hair flowing like a waterfall and dancing wildly in the wind, dressed in traditional shrine maiden attire.
Dressed in white, her red sleeves fluttering, she resembled a blooming lotus flower.
Standing quietly in front of the Abyss Ripper, the tranquility and solemnity there are infectious to everyone.
"The magical girl's support—has finally arrived."
"Wait a minute, this magical girl looks familiar... My god, could this be one of the strongest magical girls in Xia Kingdom, Kikyo the Magician?"
The mage Kikyo raised her hand, and several golden inscribed magic circles floated up, firmly immobilizing each Abyss Ripper in place.
Their space for movement was completely restricted, and they began to roar.
Kikyo remained expressionless.
Singing,
Suddenly, a violent gale arose in the sky, and a dazzling yet terrifying bolt of lightning ripped across the heavens, like a giant dragon dancing wildly in the air.
Gradually, the lightning began to increase, gathering in the thick gray clouds and weaving eerie patterns in the air. These lightning bolts were no longer the usual silvery-white, but a deep purplish-black, carrying a chilling magical fluctuation. They cleaved through the air like tigers descending from the mountains, slamming fiercely into the bodies of the several Abyss Rippers.
Each bolt of lightning was accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder, shocking everyone present.
After a long while, all the calamity beasts and demons present were reduced to ashes, and only then did the Kikyo mage slowly leave.
The reporter in the helicopter swallowed hard and said to his colleague beside him:
"Have you noticed how unusually irritable Kikyo is today?!"
"It's a little annoying to have to get up in the middle of the night to fight against the abyssal beasts, but that's normal~"
"What I mean is, although the Gladiolus Arbiter team members have arrived, it seems neither their captain nor vice-captain is here, and as far as I know, protecting the Guancheng District doesn't seem to be within the scope of Kikyo's duties."
"Stop talking, or I'll get angry too."
