Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 704 - 380: Attack the Ground City!_2

Su Ping soon realized that he had underestimated the nobles of the Kalosis Federation.

Even without the pretext of detecting the Otherworldly Space.

For the sake of the Enhancing Project, they could still devise various entertainments at the cost of human lives.

Betting whether the enhancement modifications on the enhanced people would succeed, they even took the enhanced people to the Duel Arena for a fight to the death.

Thus proving that their own enhancement technology was better and more perfect.

Looking at the captain of the enhanced people, whose expression and eyes remained unchanged even as Divine Thought invaded:

Su Ping sighed and gently laid him to rest.

Looking around, after the small squad of enhanced people had put up slight resistance and were annihilated:

The ordinary security personnel at the transit platform had already retreated, using the cover of escorting officials to flee from danger.

In the distance, whether it was workers or citizens who had planned to take the elevator to the Underground City, they too fled in panic amid the shrill alarm.

Su Ping had no interest in ordinary people, after laying down the captain of the enhanced people.

With a swift movement, he caught up with the fleeing official.

The moment he caught him, only one confidant raised a pistol to shoot, then a blur was all he saw before his neck was broken.

The others who were surrounding the official scattered once again.

Some were even running so hastily they fell to the ground, then continued their escape on all fours.

Many of them tapped into the potential of being human, running the fastest they had ever run in their lives.

Su Ping read the memories of the official.

He found this guy was quite decent.

As expected of an official in charge of the transit platform, setting aside his abilities, he certainly was connected to high circles.

He knew everyone from all walks of life in the Ground City.

Once he knew, it meant Su Ping knew as well.

Su Ping also had a plan for what he wanted to do next.

In fact, the plan was simple.

First, take a look at the Ground City, then head to the Kabu family estate, clearing out the properties of those nobles along the way.

As he thought about this, Su Ping picked up the official’s communication device.

He saw the news being played on the device.

It kept repeating safety warnings.

"The deadliest madman in history has appeared in the Ground City!"

The Federation urged all citizens to stay as far away from him as possible and to report immediately by dialing the emergency contact number.

"The deadliest madman in history?"

Su Ping commented on the headline, then noticed in the numerous videos below the report:

It was filled with unbearable images of dead bodies, killed by either the Shadow Giant Snake or by his own hands.

Then came interviews with the relatives of the deceased.

Accompanied by music and editing.

It was very provocative.

Su Ping estimated that by now, he was both feared and hated by everyone in the Kalosis Federation.

However, Su Ping didn’t care at all.

With power unto himself, he feared no conspiracy that might die away without issue.

Su Ping had not yet stepped out of the main entrance of the transit platform.

Already, squads of enhanced people and special forces squads had become counter-runners among the fleeing crowd, rushing into the platform.

Then, heavy gunfire continuously erupted within this fortress-like building.

Until about the time it took to burn a stick of incense later:

The gunfire suddenly ceased.

Sealing the fate of those squads who had come to support, all wiped out.

Following that, the field officers who were urgently deploying defenses learned that someone had sighted the target at the subway platform.

As for why he could appear at the subway platform:

A look at the city map would make it clear to them that beneath the entire Ground City, over centuries, both old and new subway tunnels had accumulated.

Many of these tunnels had been abandoned, but abandonment aside, they still existed underground.

Those closure measures could only deter ordinary people, they couldn’t even contain an armed squad, let alone stop an Awakener.

Below the transit platform, there were many old subway routes passing through.

Just by diving into the sewers and breaking through a few stone slabs, it was easy to enter the subway space, and from there to other subway channels.

"This... is simply unblockable!"

"As long as he’s in the city, we’ll likely have a hard time dealing with him."

"Unless, the Federation’s bigwigs can make a decision to ignore the lives of citizens and even elites, and use powerful lethal weapons in the city area as well."

"If the Academy of Science could guarantee that the use of powerful weapons would either kill him or severely injure him,"

"I estimate that it was approved long ago."

"But the key issue is, dealing with an Awakener in an urban environment who is like an army by himself and has numerous ways to move..."

"Those high-powered weapons in our hands, no expert dares guarantee their effectiveness."

After Admiral Siskan followed in his nephew’s footsteps,

the new supreme commander, Admiral Tricabu from the Kabu family, was appointed in a crisis and chose the aircraft carrier as the command center, beginning to command the military forces of the Ground City against Su Ping.

Compared to the environmental restrictions of the Underground City,

Admiral Tricabu had access to a greater amount of military power.

Besides having millions of army troops,

there were also aircraft carrier fleets and over a hundred thousand navy personnel surrounding the seas of the Ground City.

In addition, the air force and the space force could exert a much greater strength than the Underground City ever could.

Admiral Siskan’s planned air gunboats,

Admiral Tricabu directly found them from the warehouse and began refurbishing them.

It wouldn’t take long before they could ascend for a prolonged combat engagement.

Together with squads of enhanced people provided by various families and intelligence support,

Admiral Tricabu became the general who possessed the most military power in the history of the Federation.

Despite holding such vast powers,

the Admiral still had doubts about accomplishing the mission.

For the moment, he had no good plan.

He could only passively receive reports and then react.

They attempted using different types of ammunition or special weapons to see if they could identify any weaknesses in the enemy.

An hour later,

In the Ground City, the largest shopping mall on Gold Street belonging to the Kabu family, the Shadow Giant Snake appeared.

At the same time, a human trafficking and body modification hub secretly located in the basement of this mall was also discovered and dismantled,

and after the mall building collapsed under bombardment,

it was exposed and discovered by the responding military and police.

This was only the beginning.

Soon after, another crucial stronghold of the Kabu family was dismantled:

large factories, investment offices, schools for breeding children of the families.

One after another,

even the most foolish could understand that their primary target was to deal with the Kabu family.

In the Air Garden,

Lanskab received communication from his grandfather,

asking him to come back immediately while informing him about the current situation.

His grandfather’s stern tone and the panic caused by the real destruction of the family’s assets stimulated Lanskab’s nerves.

He looked around at his noble companions,

and said through gritted teeth,

"Next time... Next time there’s a detection in the Otherworldly Space, I am going too!"

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the young noble men and women varied.

They all knew that with Kalosis becoming an Awakener and displaying various incredible powers,

even if the side effects might be madness,

it had still shocked the top echelons of the Federation.

Thus, the next exploration into the Otherworldly Space was significantly altered.

The original members, aside from the old captain and those dozen indispensable crew members,

had all been replaced with heirs or descendants from various families,

and remote-controlled bombs were implanted in their brains as a precaution during surgery.

In terms of numbers, they also doubled from the previously expanded five hundred to one thousand.

Clearly, the upper echelons of the Federation wanted to rely on numerical superiority to challenge Kalosis and produce another Awakener from their ranks.

Experts also felt this possibility was theoretically feasible.

After all, what happens once in the world must happen again,

and since Kalosis’s mutation was related to the exploration of the Otherworldly Space,

they decided to simulate the previous journey without any change,

theoretically allowing the chance for a new Awakener to emerge.

Of course, the higher-ups didn’t put all their hopes on this plan.

Experiments that were previously too radical and could damage valuable test subjects also received approval and financial support.
