Chapter 1230 624: Rising Upheaval, Boundless Maelstrom (Part 2)
Pop!
Gou Zi couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him on the back of the head.
Responding to the expectations of all the team members.
When the hell is it okay to raise a flag now?
——Would you just shut up already!
Liang Mo, enraged, jumped up and cursed.
A soft chuckle escaped, and the once-tense team members gradually began to relax.
Until, amidst the chaotic sounds, a series of muffled winds began to howl, and amidst the storm curtain, one shadow after another emerged from the clouds and slithered towards us.
In the spotlight's glare, eerie silhouettes appeared and disappeared.
When the giant snakes within the clouds suddenly hissed, an uncanny shadow poured down like a tide.
Meteors rained from the sky.
The roaring sound was incessant.
In that moment of stunned silence, the Peacekeeping Cat suddenly raised a large shield, layer by layer, positioning itself in front of everyone. Amidst a loud crash, the sharp sound of metal grinding against metal echoed as a shocking dent appeared on the large shield.
Flesh exploded.
Bloody and mangled debris fell to the ground.
"What the hell is this?!"
Liang Mo was in disbelief, squinting at the sight, a bad premonition suddenly arising in his heart.
Within the entire frontline base, gunfire erupted and screams echoed everywhere.
The descending shadow suddenly shattered the walls, swimming through the air with its Blood Bowl wide open, lunging towards Liang Mo and the others.
Then, it slammed right into Liang Mo's machine gun, and in a flurry of gunfire, it was shredded instantaneously.
And before that, under the spotlight, he finally saw clearly…
That iconic gray-white coloration, sharp dorsal fins, full of fangs, and layers of carapace growing out of flesh, an almost vehicular body…
Was that a great white shark?
In the storm, the shark swarm rioted, howling towards them.
Liang Mo, stunned, looked up at the chaotic base, then glanced at the command on the terminal to clear out the invading creatures, unable to stop himself from feeling a wave of darkness:
"What kind of trench-like life is this?!"
If you don't want us to pass, just say it straight!
You either pass or die, why should B-class monsters from those shitty movies come to Central Earth to torment me?!
Boom!!!
In bewilderment, a tremendous roar erupted.
The machine gun on the outer wall overheated and broke down, and the cracks in the wall continued to widen under the impact of the giant creature, finally ending in complete collapse.
The outer defenses were completely torn apart.
Liang Mo didn't even have the strength to be angry anymore and sighed numbly: "Damn it, could it get any worse?"
It could, brother, it definitely could.
Three minutes later, the inner layers of the base were locked down, and the gates dropped.
The radio transmitted orders for brave combat, mixed with inexplicable sharp static, abruptly cutting off communication.
"Fight my ass!"
Liang Mo stomped the radio to pieces, his face was ashen:
"Damn it, we're screwed!"
Boom!!!
Half an hour later, as Little Ox and Horse raced through the barriers of the Blood Rain, crossing ridges, trying to return to the frontline base, amidst the faint fragrance of the Bodhi Leaf, Ji Jue saw…
The remnants of the base in the distance, suddenly soared a blood-red storm into the sky.
Countless, mountain-like piled corpses.
Even…
Ji Jue, frozen in place.
Too late.
.
.
Half an hour earlier, when the alarms had just begun to blare, Yan Fei was dozing off on a number theory textbook on the counter, drool winding between the formulas and handwriting.
Beside him, Yan Chang sighed helplessly, then glanced at his brother's answer sheet, reached out, and changed a couple of numbers, barely maintaining a dangerous error rate of twenty percent.
Such simple formulas, getting them wrong over and over… did Ember really not mistake him for someone else?
As brothers, how could I watch my own brother get beat up?
I'll just do my best!
Mmh, when Mr. Ji hangs you up later, I'll close my eyes and not watch.
Yan Chang shook his head, sat behind the counter, picked up his cup, and saw a grinning face approaching, spoke first: "Sorry, sir, the shop's prices are all set by Mr. Ji, there's really no room to haggle."
"Hey, we've been doing business for so long, can't you just lower it a bit?"
"I really don't have the authority for that, but how about this?"
Yan Chang smiled warmly: "Those few scrapped Blessed Creations you sent last time, Mr. Ji thought they were quite good. If you have similar ones in the future, bring them over, and I'll bump up the price a tier for you.
As for this time, if you genuinely want it, I'll throw in half a box of Alchemy Bullets for you, let's call it friendship."
"Alright, not a bad deal, young man, you've got skills for someone so young."
Skillfully completing the transaction, smiling as he sent the customer off, Yan Chang picked up his book again, but this time, no matter what, he couldn't get into it.
Unexplainably, his heart raced, breath quickening.
A surge of unease within.
It left the teenager taken aback, understanding what it was, he impulsively punched his brother awake: "Bro, something's not right, should we close up?"
"Huh?"
Yan Fei yawned, bewildered, glanced outside, thought for a moment, and rang the bell: "Then let's close it."
"You're not going to ask me why?"
"Whatever, Ah Chang, you think more than I do, anyway. Besides, we can take a break. If Mr. Ji has a problem later, promise you won't make me the scapegoat!"
"... I was just a bit touched, brother." Yan Chang sighed: "That last part is the real concern, isn't it?"
"Hey, it was all about..."
Boom!!!!
Before he could finish, a deafening thunderclap, a howling wind swept through, and within the temporary workshop, alarms blared, shelves rapidly contracted into crouching steel beasts, and then the Heavenly Calamity alarm pierced everyone's eardrums.
