Chapter 100
100 Great changes
After saying goodbye to old Zhou Anqing and the rest, Xia Pingan drove the car directly back to xinchuan.
The modifications to the car were so impressive that Xia Pingan could not even recognize it. The seats in the driver’s seat were like sofas, very comfortable and wrapped well. The six wheels of the car passed through the 20-centimeter-high curb and the bumpy potholes on the road, and the suspension of the car bounced a few times agilely. The car passed steadily without even feeling much fluctuation.
The car was running on the highway at a speed of more than 200 km/H. The six wheels were steady and powerful, like a large piece of steel floating on the ground.
There were very few vehicles on the highway. Xia Pingan drove the six-wheeled pickup truck and sped all the way. It only took two hours to return to xinchuan city from Xianghe.
It had only been a few hours since Xia Pingan left xinchuan city, and everything was fine.
However, in the evening, the gunshots and explosions could still be heard from the surroundings of the two permanent space rifts. The flames on the ground of the two places brightened up the sky like sparkles in the dark.
In the beginning, the sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from inside and outside the city were hard to adapt to, as if they were on the battlefield. But slowly, Xia Pingan got used to it.
He was still living in the half-finished room that had yet to be fully renovated. The military had assigned two guards to Xia Pingan, but after the two guards had stayed with Xia Pingan for half a month, Xia Pingan had been busy working between the stadium and his residence every day. It was basically equivalent to living in the military camp every day, so there was no need for two people to protect him. After Xia Pingan and Tang Guofeng responded, the military was short of people. The guards around him were also transferred away.
There was a power outage in the room again, but fortunately, there was water. Xia Pingan took a cold shower and fell asleep with the sound of gunfire as her pillow.
At three O ‘clock in the middle of the night, Xia Pingan was suddenly woken up by an unprecedented feeling of palpitation.
The palpitations were so strong that it made one’s hair stand on end. Xia Pingan, who was still asleep, broke out in a cold sweat in just a few seconds and woke up abruptly.
Xia Pingan, who had just woken up, gasped for breath. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and immediately went to the window to look out.
The night sky outside the window was as dark as blood. The gunfire in the city was still ringing. The sense of danger came from the permanent space rift in the center of xinchuan city.
Xia Pingan looked over with her long-distance vision ability and saw that the battle was in full swing at the permanent spatial Rift in the center of xinchuan city. From time to time, demon rats or Demon Fire spiders would rush out of the spatial Rift. However, as soon as these space invading creatures came out, they would be torn to pieces by the crossfire set up around the spatial Rift.
The 87th Division had set up three layers of defense around the spatial crack. The closest layer of defense was the unmanned armored vehicles on the ground near the spatial crack. The armored vehicles were about the size of toy cars that children could drive. They were more than one meter long and half a meter tall. They could be controlled from a distance. They were equipped with various weapons such as rocket launchers and could even self-destruct when necessary.
These unmanned armored vehicles could get very close to the spatial Rift and attack the invading creatures as soon as they came out.
500m behind these unmanned armored vehicles was a steel defense line formed by tanks and armored vehicles. Those tanks were hidden behind a 3m-tall defensive line of tanks. Once the invading creatures broke through the line of defense, those tanks and armored vehicles would open fire.
Behind these tanks, there was a three-dimensional defense network composed of various strong fortresses, blockhouses, trenches, barbed wire, fortifications, and secret tunnels. The 87th Division had deployed a heavy armored Division and a mixed Infantry Brigade in this small core area of a few square kilometers. There were nearly 20000 soldiers stationed here, and the defense was layered.
The defensive circle around the spatial Rift in the southwest of xinchuan city was similar. It was also heavily guarded and impregnable.
On the battlefield which covered a few square miles, the steel pieces of various war chariots and the fleshes of space-invading living beings mixed with each other.
Nothing seemed abnormal. Those things that ran out of the space crack would be destroyed when they approached the second defense line. The troops around the space crack were firmly controlling the battlefield.
However, Xia Pingan’s heart palpitated even more.
All of a sudden, without any warning, after some demon rats that rushed out were blown up by the bazookas on the battlefield, a pale white light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black space crack in the downtown.
The pale white light was particularly glaring in the dark space crack.
This abnormal situation immediately aroused the vigilance of the surrounding Defense Forces. The various weapons on the unmanned Caterpillar vehicles on the ground near the spatial crack were aimed at the place where the white light appeared.
The white light flickered, and suddenly, a maggot-like, translucent ” blood ball ” squirmed out of the white light.
There were eyes everywhere on the body of the half-transparent “ball of blood,” which was extremely strange.
The moment Xia Pingan saw the ‘ball of blood’, she thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, because it was impossible for that thing to come out of the spatial Rift-it was The Phantom monster’s demon spirit.
The Phantom monster’s demon spirit could only be found in the British Isles. It was the ripple body of a Phantom monster that had been baptized by nuclear weapons. It was very dangerous and terrifying. The demon spirit of a Phantom monster could affect and control several people within a certain space. When it possessed a person, it could cause them to have terrifying illusions and devour and absorb the essence of a human body. That thing was the favorite of the members of the Demon’s Eye. The member of the Demon’s Eye that Xia Pingan killed had this thing on him. How did it appear here?
Only invading creatures from other worlds would come out of the spatial Rift. This was common knowledge that had been passed down for countless years. Even children knew this.
A demon spirit was a mutation of the ” Condensed Matter of glass Einstein ” produced by the Otherworld creatures in a specific environment. This kind of thing was very rare and only existed on earth. Why would the demon spirit of The Phantom monster come out of the spatial crack?
Perhaps it wasn’t The Phantom monster’s demon spirit, but just a space-invading creature similar to The Phantom monster’s demon spirit, a mayfly.
This thought flashed through Xia Pingan’s mind.
However, reality shattered Xia Pingan’s fantasy in the blink of an eye.
After drilling out of the space crack, the semi-transparent ” meatball ” instantly darted towards those tanks and armored vehicles in the second defense line like a Hound who had caught the smell.
The unmanned armored vehicles on the ground had already opened fire.
The Rockets and bullets rained down on the thing.
A rain of bullets penetrated through that thing’s body like passing through a ball of smoke without any physical body.
When the rocket approached the target, it exploded. The flames, shrapnel and shock waves tore that thing’s body into various shapes and even tore it into pieces. However, that thing recovered its original look in a split second while its broken body fused back together in the blink of an eye.
After passing through the explosions and flames, that thing continued to rush towards those tanks and armored vehicles in the second defense line like a wisp of red smoke and a bolt.
The tanks and armored vehicles opened fire.
The snipers on the third line of defense opened fire.
Cannonballs, bullets, flames, explosions, and shrapnel were scattered everywhere.
Almost half of xinchuan city could hear the violent explosion.
That thing passed through the layers of attacks of all the weapons without any hindrance. In a short time, it had flown hundreds of meters and drilled into the barrel of a tank.
Xia Pingan’s long-distance vision ability did not allow him to clearly see what was going on in the tank. All he could see was that after a short two seconds, the tank that The Phantom monster’s demon spirit had entered suddenly started to move and retreat. The turret turned 90 degrees and aimed at the side of the tank beside it, and a blast of cannon was fired.
“BOOM!”
In the violent explosion, the tank that had been hit by the shell directly emitted smoke and caught on fire.
The tank that The Phantom monster drilled into fired continuously, aiming at the other tanks and tanks around it. In the blink of an eye, three tanks were destroyed.
An anti-tank missile came from the third line of defense, penetrating the tank and causing it to explode.
The spirit of The Phantom monster came out from the explosion and went into another tank. Two seconds later, the tank began to fire at its teammates.
The second line of defense began to fall into chaos in the face of these Phantom monsters that were immune to all hot weapons.
&Nbsp; at this moment, more and more white dots of light appeared on the pitch-black spatial Rift.
The second, the third and the fourth phantoms drilled out of the space crack and rushed towards those tanks and vehicles. The moment the Phantoms drilled into the tanks, they would start to attack the nearby vehicles and personnel in a few seconds.
The entire line of defense was suddenly hard to distinguish between friend and foe, and it was completely chaotic.
In just half a minute, more and more Phantom monster’s Demon Souls drilled out of the space crack. Tens of thousands of them were like a blood-red tide. In just a moment, this tide completely covered the three lines of defense.
Once a person was affected by The Phantom monster’s demon spirit, they would fall into a terrifying illusion and start to attack the people around them.
There were also a few Summoners stationed here, but they were like Mantis trying to stop a car when facing so many Phantom Spirits at once. After killing a few spirits with fireballs, those Summoners were blown to pieces by several tanks.
More and more tanks and armored vehicles drove out of the defense line of the spatial Rift, turned their muzzles, rushed out of the position, and drove into the city. They aimed at the reinforcement troops, buildings, and houses and fired fiercely.
In just a few minutes, the few strong defense lines that defended the space crack in the entire xinchuan city had collapsed. The entire city and the troops of the 87th Division stationed in xinchuan city were in chaos.
The sounds of guns and explosions were everywhere.
In the chaos, more and more demon rats and demon-fire spiders drilled out of the unguarded space crack and crossed the chaotic line of defense to kill whoever they saw.
