At that very moment, large-sized cannon-like weapons quickly rose from twenty-six spots in Huaxia Base, covering both the inner and outer sectors. The cannons were about five-meters tall, with the barrels half a meter wide. Their metal bases were buried deep underground.
As Wei Haichao gave the order while covering his chest with a hand, the weapon operators immediately pointed the cannons at the sky and reported that the weapon was ready to fire. When the order of firing was delivered, they each pressed a red button.
Boom! A glowing red ray was ejected from each cannon. As their ends met at the same spot high up in the sky, the twenty-six rays formed a cage and enveloped the monster entirely.
“Roar! The monster raised its head to glance at Si Kongchen’s fireball, and then it opened its mouth wide and inhaled deeply. A strong suction force gathered all Si Kongchen’s fireballs together and brought them into the monster’s mouth.
“This is impossible!” Si Kongchen was stunned to see his level-nine fire power being swallowed by the monster directly. That was his superpower; his fire wasn’t like the natural fire. The temperature of his fireballs was over a thousand degrees. Each of those fireballs could create an immense hole on the ground and evaporate everything near it.
He was a level-nine firepower possessor, and he had brought the sun’s energy to generate those fireballs. Simply speaking, his fireballs were solar-powered, and each of them could cause the same effect as a piece of meteorite. However, those destructively hot fireballs had actually been swallowed by the monster.
He knew that the monster wasn’t afraid of his superpower, but he hadn’t been expecting it to swallow his fire!
Seeing the twenty-six rays rising from his base, his confidence was swaying. Could those cannons really kill the level-nine monster?
Earlier, he learned that Wu Chengyue’s lightning power could hurt underground creatures< and those cannons were designed based on that knowledge. They weren’t designed for attacking, but for defense.
They were designed for the last minute, to keep the base from being destroyed.
Si Kongchen used to believe that those cannons would never be put in use. Unexpectedly, a level-nine monster came out of the underground world and came straight to Huaxia Base.
Some scouts from the other bases were observing Huaxia Base’s situation from afar and delivering messages back to their own bases continuously.
Sea City Base, Zou Shihui, and his people weren’t really happy to learn about Huaxia Base’s miserable situation. What they had felt were the deaths of the people and their despair and fear. They worried that their own base might end up in the same way as Huaxia Base.
They felt sad for the loss of their own kind. Huaxia Base was their archenemy, but its people were still humans after all. No one wanted to see the end of mankind.
Thankfully, there was a man from Sea City Base named Wu Chengyue, and the man fell in love with the Chief of All Beings Base named Lu Tianyu, and, Lu Tianyu had a magical son! Mankind would be doomed if that boy didn’t exist!
For that very reason, none of the senior administrators of Sea City Base dared to show any unfriendly attitude to All Beings Base. After all, that base was filled and surrounded by zombies, and its people knew about the monster’s weakness!
Only a few old leaders of Sea City Base knew about that though. Wu Chengyue had shared the information with them because he trusted them. The people from the other bases didn’t know about that. After learning about Huaxia Base’s situation, Lan Lu had his brows knitted as well.
Du Kunsheng read the message from his men with a sullen face. He could guess how bad the current situation of Huaxia Base was.
He was able to hear the noises coming from Huaxia Base, from over a thousand miles away. So, it wasn’t hard to imagine how brutally the monster was devastating Huaxia Base.
“I don’t think Si Kongchen can deal with the level-nine creature alone. If Wu Chengyue reached level-nine and joined hands with him, they might have a chance. We were too optimistic. The hope is smaller than we thought,” he sighed.
It might be a little difficult for Wu Chengyue and Si Kongchen to fight side by side, even though some believed that people should drop their personal issues for now and unite to try to save mankind.
“Do you think Green Mountain Base will send their Chief to help Huaxia Base?” The current Deputy Chief of Heilong Base stood beside Du Kunsheng and asked.
“Lan Lu knows what’s important. He’ll certainly take his Chief to Huaxia Base. But I’m not sure if the two of them can bring the monster down.”
Dong Xiaowei from Green Mountain Base had super strength; he was able to flatten a mountain with a single punch. However, the monster wasn’t a mountain. Neither superpower attacks nor physical attacks could bring severe harm to it.
It was as hard to kill as a monster from a Hollywood movie!
At that moment, a secret letter for help was delivered to Wu Chengyue from Huaxia Base.
Sitting near him with Teng on her lap, Lin Qiao held the letter brought to Wu Chengyue by Xiao Yunlong, saying curiously, “They want you to go and help him? Are they going to give you that power-boosting drug to lift you into level-nine temporarily and let you fight the monster together with Si Kongchen and Dong Xiaowei? Who sent the letter?”
Wu Chengyue was standing by the window with his arms folded. He turned back and said to Lin Qiao with a small smile, “I guess it’s the person who has secretly provided Sea City Base with some very useful information.”
Earlier, someone had covertly delivered Si Kongchen’s plan to him and helped Kong Qingming with the rescue of Li Yue He. Wu Chengyue figured that person made those arrangements because he or she wanted Wu Chengyue to lend a hand and help to save Huaxia Base at a critical moment such as this. After all, Huaxia Base still had over a million residents. One-third of them have died, and about seven hundred thousand of them were alive now.
“Should I go or not?” Wu Chengyue looked at Lin Qiao and asked smilingly.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “That’s your choice to make. They asked you for help. You can do whatever you want. I guess you’re their last hope.”
Wu Chengyue’s lightning power could hurt underground creatures. His power was probably the only kind of superpower highly harmful for the level-nine creature.
