I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Chapter 374: The End of the War_2 Chapter 508: Chapter 374: The End of the War_2 War Puppets could indeed protect humans from the invasion of the dense fog, but there were only so many of them, and most of the soldiers still wore laboratory rubber protective suits.

These suits were incredibly fragile in the face of monsters.

“If you notice a breach in your protective suit, immediately head to the Ultimate Shelter for emergency hibernation!” several officers shouted.

They had personally witnessed over a dozen soldiers whose suits had been torn by monsters, resulting in mutations, and their hearts were filled with extreme anxiety.

For lower forms of life, the toxicity of the Ghost fog was simply too potent.

“Have the Civilian Corps join the fight, mainly to rescue those who have mutated!” a scientist yelled through the headset, “As long as they’re put into emergency hibernation, there will eventually be a day of awakening.”

“Trust us, we’ll surely find a way to solve this!”

There was no other choice at the moment, so the Civilian Corps ultimately joined the battlefield.

People fought in silence.

...

The strength of the monsters wasn’t that high, but the pollution’s power was indeed troublesome.

In the ammunition depot, bullets were rapidly depleting.

As soon as someone showed signs of mutation, their comrades immediately put them into a hibernation tank, and others took their place!

Not a single person retreated at this critical moment.

The Rat Artisans hid in the Sanctuary.

They had already given up hope and planned to flee, but now, they secretly returned to help transport the injured.

…

…

As dusk approached, the full moon hung high, its light barely penetrating the grey fog.

Leviathan and a few other giant insects didn’t join the battlefield right away.

They, along with a few cranes, were frantically tugging ropes, trying to pull the saucer from the depths of the sea.

Such a large saucer was only 5.132 million tons, which was already quite light.

It was unknown what material it was made of.

The rope, 11 kilometers long, was dragged for more than an hour.

Occasionally, various strangely shaped monsters attacked them, only to be effortlessly swallowed by Leviathan.

“Beep!”

Leviathan trumpeted joyfully.

Several engineers also felt a surge of joy in their hearts: “Finally, it’s been hoisted up!!”

The saucer was coated in a stunning silver-white, with seaweed-like things entangled at the bottom.

The passage of time had barely left a mark on it, and under the moonlight’s reflection, it glimmered beautifully white.

But before they had too much time to rejoice, people suddenly realized that almost all the monsters had gone mad and were rushing towards the direction of the saucer!

Clouds obscured the sky as a dark wave of monsters, like a swarm of dense ants, approached.

“Do we have any more Spirit Runes?”

“No…

They’re all been depleted!”

“What other methods do we have?”

“Ammo is running low too, and we lack heat-based weapons on our end…

All we can do now is engage in cold-weapon combat.”

At this moment, the Tree of Life located at the very center of Green Grass Mountain finally stirred!

This great tree hadn’t moved for decades since it settled near the Sky Pit, but at this moment, it let out an enraged roar.

It first emitted a mass of green light, and a multitude of leaves fell, protecting the Sky Pit.

Then, with an instant teleport, it arrived at the edge of Green Grass Mountain.

Several vines swung in a sweeping motion.

The vines’ friction with the air created a sonic boom!

In just an instant, hundreds of monsters were whipped in half.

Following that, the Tree of Life’s tendrils firmly wrapped around the saucer, bursting forth with green light, astonishingly hoisting the saucer straight from the sea!

With a severe fling, the monsters clung to it fell from the sky like raindrops.

After placing the saucer on the open ground, the Tree of Life once again teleported back to guard the Sky Pit.

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, “Insect Soldiers, on my command, form a line of defense with the Tree of Life at the core, shrinking the perimeter to a range of 1 kilometer, protect our home!”

“Human soldiers, take a brief rest!”

The Human and Insect troops fought and fell back, retreating all the way to a canyon on Green Grass Mountain.

The terrain here was treacherous, easy to defend but hard to attack.

The Tree of Life extended numerous vines to join the battle.

Even the Cannibal Flower joined the battle, ceaselessly slaughtering the enemies.

The fierce battle…

lasted for three whole days.

Finally, the number of monsters began to decrease.

After five days, bodies had piled into mountains, truly resembling mountains.

Blood had dyed this part of the ocean red.

It wasn’t until after seven days that not a single living monster remained!

To be precise…

the thick Ghost fog emitted by the [Ghost] layer still existed, enveloping Green Grass City and Green Grass Mountain.

At this moment, Humans had no way of dealing with this derivative of the [Ghost].

But the sea creatures within a hundred miles had been completely exterminated!

Thus, even though the Ghost fog still lingered, it was no longer possible to produce more mutated monsters.

…

“Did we win?”

After fighting continuously for seven days, even Tree of Life Lu Yuan felt a trace of exhaustion.

The remaining Human warriors, those Insect Race members still alive, lacked any joy of victory, only numbly accepting the fact that they were alive and had barely won at the end.

This time they were truly numb; when the adrenaline was depleted, and the Physical Strength was exhausted, the only thing that could function was willpower.

Lu Yuan really wanted to sleep, but at this moment he could only grit his teeth and endure.

“Lu Da, you take the Insect Race to clean the battlefield.

Eat what’s edible, and throw what’s not directly into the sea to prevent the spread of disease.”

“Yes!” Lu Da, who had lost a wing, limped away.

“Lu Er, how are you?”

“I…”

Lu Er had been bitten by something, one leg had undergone Deformation, so he had to enter a hibernation chamber to hibernate temporarily.

Lu Xiao, had also undergone Deformation.

Leviathan…

was still alive.

Mammoth was also alive…

Even many Insect Soldiers had suffered some inexplicable Deformation, entering a hibernation state.

As for the Humans, they were also quietly licking their wounds, busily yet sorrowfully moving about.

In fact, most of the people had already been frozen in hibernation chambers, with only a few scientists and engineers in protective suits, moving about in the dense fog.

There was no choice, even if the war was that intense, the nuclear power plant still had to be operated, otherwise the entire City would sink directly.

A day later, the tireless Old Cat reported a series of lists.

“The war losses have come out.”

“Ah, I really don’t want to hear it,” Lu Yuan sighed ruefully.

“Nearly all the ammunition in the National Treasury, large and small, has been used up.

War Puppets lost 34 units.

The loss of materials, the Spirit Essence, is around 2000.”

“Insect Soldiers lost 78, and an astonishing 492 have undergone Deformation! They’ve entered hibernation, and whether they can be saved is uncertain.

The other Insect Soldiers have various injuries, but nothing life-threatening, so they’re not included in the count.”

Lu Yuan, with only one arm, couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“On the Human side, we already suffered some casualties in the previous war with the South Island Civilization, and after this battle against the mutated monsters, we suffered heavy losses again.”

“It’s estimated that the direct death toll is around one thousand and fifty, approximately twenty thousand fell into a coma due to Ant Chip attacks, and those who have undergone Deformation might exceed one hundred and eighty thousand, with the exact number yet to be calculated.

However, fortunately, these casualties have all been frozen…

there’s still a chance for rescue.”

Time in the Sky Pit is one percent of that outside, while the metabolism rate in the hibernation chamber is one ten-thousandth of the normal situation.

The combined effect means one day in the hibernation chamber is equivalent to 2739 years outside!

Indeed…

There’s still a chance for salvation.

Lu Yuan, hearing this number, truly struggled to breathe.

Thinking of those one thousand plus casualties, his face turned somber.

But that one thousand was just a drop in the bucket; the larger issue of over one hundred and sixty thousand Deformed…

that was the real problem!
