Chapter 1440: Huaxia’s Crisis
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Apart from Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, some people from the other bases were approaching Huaxia Base as well. However, none of them had the courage to go very close.
The monster was in a rage at the moment, and Huaxia Base was the eye of the storm.
“Roarrrrrr!”
After being hit by the solar-power gathered by the cannons, the monster roared in fury above Huaxia Base as it rose higher into the sky and flew out of the cannons’ shooting range. It hovered in the sky, letting out waves of thunderous roars.
Every time it roared, a vibrational wave would go underground, injure the people in the underground shelter, and make them cough blood. All superpower possessors and commoners were suffering. The superpower possessors were doing relatively better, while the commoners were miserable.
“Chief, let out the energy shield! Only your energy shield can hold off its sound attack now!” Wei Haichao showed up near Si Kongchen, shouting at him anxiously. The energy shield of a level-nine superpower possessor could more or less neutralize the level-nine monster’s sound attack.
However, Si Kongchen didn’t plan to let out his energy shield. He ignored Wei Haichao’s request but stood on top of a building, looking at the monster quietly while thinking about something.
His attack was harmless to the monster, and only the cannons could hurt it. However, it required a lot of time and energy nuclei for the cannons to launch an attack.
Without responding to Wei Haichao’s request, he gave another order, “Prepare the cannons for the second strike!”
“Chief!” Si Kongchen didn’t care about the lives of the people in the base. All he wanted was to attack the monster. Realizing that, Wei Haichao called him with disappointment.
Under waves of monster roars, a big half of the residents of the base had died. Meanwhile, the ones who were still alive had all been injured badly.
“Shut up! The cannons can hurt it! Hit it a few more times and it’ll die!” Wei Haichao’s calling agitated Si Kongchen. With a twisted face, he turned and glared at the former.
Wei Haichao heard his yell as he looked at him silently for two seconds and then abruptly turned and left.
“Chief, the cannons will be ready in thirty minutes!” The commander in charge of the weapon ran over and reported to Si Kongchen.
“What? That’s too long!” Si Kongchen grew angry as soon as he heard that.
“But Chief, the cannons can’t be fired until they’re fully charged!” The commander looked at him and said with a weak voice.
It was getting darker and darker. The monster had been hovering upon Huaxia Base for nearly five hours. During the past five hours, it had killed about seventy percent of the residents of the base. Currently, about four hundred thousand people were still alive, all badly injured.
At dusk, the monster in the sky rolled its body more and more frequently. It was high up in the sky, so people couldn’t see its movements clearly.
“Look, I think the monster is rolling!” Some people still noticed its moves.
“What’s going on? What is it doing? It has started circling! Why is it circling?”
After rolling a few times, the monster suddenly started drawing a huge circle in the sky using its body. Following its movement, a strong gust of wind was brought up, spinning rapidly.
The monster was moving faster and faster, and the speed of the wind rose along with its movements. Within a minute, an enormous tornado descended from the sky, generating a strong suction force that rolled up the objects on the ground.
The tornado grew larger and larger. Soon, it turned at least three-hundred-meter wide on the outside and one-hundred meters wide on the inside.
“This isn’t good. It’s gonna disperse the cannon rays, isn’t it?” Seeing the roaring tornado coming down, the people in the base were worried that it might crush the cannons’ defense.
In the sky, the monster was moving so fast that people couldn’t see it clearly anymore. Only the gigantic tornado was left to be seen, still expanding and bringing down a destructive vibe. It seemed about to turn Huaxia Base upside down and then flatten it entirely.
“What are we going to do? Look at this tornado! The entire inner sector is going to be crushed if it really comes down here,” Han Xiao showed up beside Wei Haichao, asking nervously with his brows furrowed.
Wei Haichao turned to his assistant and asked, “How long do we have to wait until the cannons are ready?”
“Sixteen minutes,” the assistant glanced at his watch and said.
The tornado was descending at a very high speed. It would reach to the ground in just a few minutes, definitely before the cannons were ready to fire again.
Wei Haichao glanced at Si Kongchen and then turned to Han Xiao, “Tell everyone to go back into the underground shelter. We’ll go there too.”
They couldn’t wait for sixteen minutes. Even if the weapon managed to hit the monster again, it wouldn’t kill it immediately or disperse the tornado! The only choice now was to hide underground and let the earth shield them from the enormous tornado.
Lin Qiao and the others saw the tornado from tens of miles away.
“Wow, that’s a huge tornado! Did the level-nine creature create it? It’s going to tear the entire Huaxia Base down, isn’t it?” Standing on top of a mountain, Lin Qiao looked at the tornado which connected the earth and the sky , and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“According to the latest news, they’ve already sent all the survivors into the underground shelter, and their army is drawing back to the shelter as well. But a lot of people have died due to the monster’s roars. Hundreds of thousands have died. Is that creature able to create lethal sonic waves?” Wu Chengyue said.
“Its sound can be dangerous,” Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and said, “I don’t think I should get too close to it now.”
She was worried that the beast’s roars might wake up Lu Tianyu’s zombie nature!
“Why?” Wu Chengyue read her expression and realized that she wasn’t joking.
“Because its roars might wake up the zombie inside me,” said Lin Qiao to him.
Wu Chengyue knitted his brows upon hearing that, saying, “Are you saying that the creature’s sound might wake up Lu Tianyu, the zombie?”
She nodded, causing him to furrow his eyebrows into a deeper frown.
