Chapter 694: Chapter 376 Blood Flows Into a River (Part 2)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
"Monsters! There are monsters everywhere!"
"Ah!"
In the temporary command center located ten kilometers outside an apartment building in the Underground City’s civilian area,
the officials commanding the battle fell silent for a while when they realized the situation differed slightly from their initial expectations.
They had chosen to place the temporary command center farther away, in a safer location.
Then the official proactively contacted his superiors.
He volunteered to resign, allowing a young Major General with actual combat experience, a decent military reputation, and a good background to assume the position of overall commander.
Subsequently, in the meeting room, these people witnessed the final moments transmitted by several squads as they were wiped out.
Watching those members being swallowed by the shadows through their own eyes,
the previous officials were relieved they had proactively stepped down.
What was happening before their eyes was truly beyond their imagination.
The newly arrived young General was named Lucas, and he was one of the military representatives from the Kain family.
Not only did he come from a powerful background, but Lucas himself was quite outstanding,
the type who began at a higher starting point than others and worked even harder.
After Major General Lucas had been briefed on the situation,
he did not order the squads still near the apartments to evacuate,
but instead forbid more troops from entering and set up defensive lines three and five kilometers from the target.
He mobilized more resources to come to their aid, using both his authority as a Major General and his status as an important member of the Kain family.
Around the apartment area,
the captain of Storm Team, with his last two subordinates, rushed into an old house in a panic.
The civilians inside the house had already fled.
The dinner table still bore the remnants of a meal that had gone cold.
The captain of Storm Team scanned the area and, confirming he didn’t feel that chilling sensation in his heart, ƒreewebɳovel.com
he relaxed slightly and moved away from the wall to stand in the center of the room and tried to contact his superiors again.
"Damn it! We’re basically fighting monsters!"
"No, that’s not right, this isn’t a battle, it’s a massacre!"
"I am requesting evacuation again!"
"Zzzt Zzzt Zzzt!"
The captain of Storm Team wanted to continue speaking, but he found that his earpiece had begun to transmit static.
His face darkened as he suspected this might be intentional.
At that moment, the thought of fleeing in defiance of military orders crossed his mind.
But before he could firm up on that thought,
screams suddenly echoed from not far away.
From a nearby Third Layer building, following the sound of an explosion and a flash of light,
a member of another special operations team wearing black combat armor suddenly burst through a window on the third floor and leaped out.
But just as the member jumped less than half a meter from the window,
he was ensnared by black tendrils that surged out and quickly dragged him back into the shadows of the corridor.
All that was left was a brief period of heartrending screams before everything fell silent.
The last three members of Storm Team swallowed hard, daring not to even breathe too loudly.
The quiet seemed to be effective.
A minute later, the dreadful shadows still had not come to find them.
The captain seemed to feel that they were truly safe now and let out a long sigh of relief,
only to suddenly sense something and sharply turned his head.
He saw that their target, Kalosis, had appeared behind them at some point, watching them.
The three members of Storm Team instinctively raised their weapons, poised to fire,
but in the next instant, they all knelt down in unison.
Following that, sweating profusely,
they heard the terrifying man’s voice ringing in their ears:
"Cough cough cough."
"You should be able to hear what I’m saying, right?"
"After all, I’ve been watching for a while, and your information combat ability should still be up to par for actual combat."
"Whoever is in command of this operation,"
"I hereby formally declare war on you, as well as the scum and parasites of the Karlo civilization behind you..."
"I declare war!"
Having declared war, Su Ping invaded the mind of Storm Team’s captain with his Divine Thought and obtained relevant intelligence.
Then, Su Ping sensed the Shadow Giant Snake, which was growing increasingly powerful with every kill and every act of devouring.
Satisfied, Su Ping headed towards another small supermarket that had long been abandoned.
After destroying the supermarket’s surveillance system with a coin, he began to eat the characteristic food and drinks of the Karlo civilization.
Meanwhile, ten kilometers away,
hearing Kalosis’s arrogant yet confident declaration of war,
the meeting room was filled with joyous laughter.
The officials, in particular, laughed unrestrainedly,
"Arrogance, sheer arrogance!"
"Just a civilian whelp who has awakened special abilities, actually thinking that by surprising and defeating a few squads, he could really pose a threat to us."
"Exactly! As long as we find the flaw in his special abilities..."
"There’s no need for that much trouble. Once our military gets serious and deploys the army, everything will be over."
When discussing battles, officials often displayed more confidence than military officers and generals.
It was the military-born individuals and Major General Lucas who had grave expressions and were taking this declaration of war seriously,
wondering whether it was an intentional provocation.
Was it possible the enemy wanted more combat teams to enter that district?
This led Lucas to speculate whether the enemy’s special ability became stronger with each person killed.
Thus, after confirming that the teams already deployed had been wiped out, he did not immediately send a large force to exterminate them.
Instead, he waited for nearly an hour.
