Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 346 - 345 massive amount

The next day at 4 a.m., the sky hadn’t yet lightened, but everyone had already donned their black combat suits, shouldered their tactical backpacks, and gathered their respective weapons, assembling in the square.

Qin Tian stood before them and said, "Our mission today is to head to the northwest 12th war zone, Area 4, to scout the movements of the local Heavenly Demons."

"Because we will be in a wilderness environment without the protection of an Array, we will need to be in extended contact with spiritually contaminated machinery, so we must come back within seven days. If we exceed seven days, even with the Primordial Spirit adjustments and rune vaccines, the chance of mutation will significantly increase..."

"With the current state of the war, I don’t need to tell you that many of you are already aware. The Heavenly Demons have temporarily halted their offensive, so there are no large-scale military operations. However, small-scale conflicts continue unabated, and that’s exactly the job for our scouting team..."

As Qin Tian spoke about the precautions for going out, though it was the same old advice, each warrior listened with utmost seriousness, with Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun especially focused.

After he finished speaking, Qin Tian turned his gaze to a burly man beside him, "Tu Shan, you’ll take Qian Wangsun and Daniel Wu with you later."

Tu Shan, a rather hefty fellow, turned his head upon hearing this and smiled at the two men, "Rookies, just stick with me later."

Song Zhen secretly winked at Zhou Bai.

A moment later, a line of 11 people walked towards the base’s gate and exited one by one.

They then saw Tu Shan and another burly man’s bodies swell up, each transforming into white tigers, four to five meters long, their nostrils puffing out a large cloud of white vapor.

One of them dashed forth as the team’s pathfinding vanguard, while the other remained beside Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun, "Stay close later, and don’t fall behind. If you fall behind, no one will wait for you."

While speaking, they saw the white tiger that was Tu Shan leap forward on all fours and dash out, with Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun quickly following.

The eleven people in line, the weakest of whom were practitioners of the 2nd realm. With the two practitioners following the White Tiger path scouting ahead, they all moved swiftly, darting through the towering mountains and steep ridges.

Half an hour later, the group stood on a cliff when Qin Tian suddenly raised his right hand, causing everyone to come to an abrupt stop.

From the nearby bushes came a slight tremble as another white tiger emerged and spoke to Qin Tian, "There’s a group of Heavenly Demons ahead, around 40 to 50 of them. From what I can tell, the tallest one isn’t over 10 meters, and there shouldn’t be any of the third level."

Qin Tian nodded; due to the Heavenly Demons having paused their assault against humankind, there hadn’t been any large-scale collective military operations for years.

However, along the drawn-out battle line, small groups of Heavenly Demons continuously attempted to cross over, entering human territories to slaughter. Human scouting teams also regularly patrolled, observing the state of the Heavenly Demons.

This led to the war front being riddled with intermingled strengths, where small-scale armed conflicts occurred daily.

Hearing the report from the white tiger, Qin Tian nodded again, "Spread out, let’s surround them."

Consequently, Qin Tian and the others dispersed, moving to encircle the Heavenly Demons ahead. Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun, being the new recruits, were ordered to stay at the rear, ready to intercept any retreating Heavenly Demons.

’Heavenly Demons will retreat too. Although they often resort to kamikaze attacks, they likewise choose to retreat when faced with meaningless sacrifice,’ Zhou Bai thought to himself, ’This suggests that the regeneration of Heavenly Demons must come at a cost, which is why they are reluctant to make pointless sacrifices. But what exactly is the cost? Both Heaven and the human government must be continuously researching this, right?’

Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun climbed up a tree and saw in a valley hundreds of meters away, within the thick jungle, flashes of fire shooting into the sky accompanied by deafening explosions.

"They’ve engaged the enemy," Qian Wangsun squinted his eyes. With his eyesight repeatedly enhanced by the Gong Tu series, he could easily make out the situation hundreds of meters away, "They’re crushing them. It’s a group of level 1 and 2 Heavenly Demons, no match for our captain and the others."

This small group of Heavenly Demons was quickly dealt with by Qin Tian and his men, who then continued to press forward.

Continuing on their journey of investigation and advancement, after dealing with a small group of Heavenly Demons, Qin Tian and his team discovered more than ten Heavenly Demons wandering in a mountainous area.

They scattered again, surrounded the enemy, and launched a surprise attack. Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun were still assigned to patrol the perimeter.

Just as Qin Tian and his group were gaining the upper hand, about to annihilate these Heavenly Demons, roars erupted, and they saw thousands of Heavenly Demons burrowing out from under the ground, encircling them from the mountaintops.

"An ambush? So quickly?" Qin Tian’s eyes widened in shock. He had thought that even after taking down several groups of Heavenly Demons, they wouldn’t be encircled so quickly. This time, however, the Heavenly Demons’ response was unexpectedly swift and fierce.

’Is there a large group in the second sector just by chance?’ Qin Tian gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone, get over here, let’s break out together!"

Two large white tigers dashed left and right, the first to charge toward Qin Tian’s position.

On the other side, Song Zhen, with a solemn expression, was shrouded in the power of the Primordial Spirit. She performed a series of unbelievable evasive maneuvers, joining Liu Ruonan and Miao Xian as they headed toward Qin Tian’s location.

Suddenly, the ground trembled as a 22-meter-long wolf-shaped Heavenly Demon tore through the earth, leaping out and snapping at where Song Zhen stood.

With a mere thought, Song Zhen threw out shadows of herself, dodging the wolf-shaped Heavenly Demon in front of her and trying to circle around it.

At that moment, six more wolf-shaped Heavenly Demons, each more than twenty meters in length, burst out from the ground, biting at Song Zhen from all directions. Even from beneath her feet, a giant wolf’s head emerged, its gaping jaws threatening to swallow her whole.

Despite her best efforts to dodge, Song Zhen still couldn’t escape the onslaught of so many Heavenly Demons.

Just then, Liu Ruonan rushed forward, fiercely shoving Song Zhen out of the way and flinging her like a stone towards Qin Tian’s direction.

The next instant, a huge wolf maw swallowed Liu Ruonan whole. Liu Ruonan let out a loud cry and activated her "Iron Shirt" technique, her body becoming enveloped in a layer of rust-red, making her appear like an iron statue.

Boom! She punched back one wolf’s head and kicked another on its paw, retreating backward.

Another punch was thrown, only to be caught in the jaws of another wolf. As she struggled mightily, five or six other wolf-shaped Heavenly Demons encircled her.

The Heavenly Demon that had Liu Ruonan’s hand in its mouth shook her around like a rag doll. The other Demons extended their razor-sharp claws, constantly tearing at Liu Nuonan, creating screeches like metal grinding against metal as if a large dog was playing with a toy.

Seeing Liu Ruonan gradually being engulfed by the shadows of the Heavenly Demons, Song Zhen yelled to Qin Tian on the side, "Save her!"

Qin Tian shook his head, "It’s too late for her, we need to prepare to break out." He looked in the other directions; not only Liu Ruonan, but two other warriors were also unable to reach them due to the encirclement of Heavenly Demons.

But talking about breaking out seemed futile as there were simply too many Heavenly Demons in front of them. There were more than ten level 3 Heavenly Demons, and even from a distance, they could see two 50-meter tall level 4 Heavenly Demons slowly crawling out from the mountain.

Qin Tian’s face turned grave: ’How could this be? Why are there so many Heavenly Demons lying in ambush out here?’

At that moment, Zhou Bai, who had rushed back immediately upon discovering the Heavenly Demon ambush, had already arrived at the center of the battlefield, shouting at the monsters covering the mountains and plains, "All Heavenly Demons, heed my command, lend me your power for a moment."

Qin Tian looked at Zhou Bai rushing in and yelled, "What are you doing charging in here!"

But the next moment, he saw the Heavenly Demons across the mountains hesitate for an instant and then, like birds flocking to a phoenix, they madly rushed towards Zhou Bai’s location.
