There is a mysterious place located underground in Xinjing.
It covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters, equivalent to six or seven football fields. The entire hall gathers tens of thousands of staff and a battalion of elite soldiers.
However, there was almost no sound here, and no one spoke. Everyone was staring at the screen tightly, watching the various images and data changes on it without blinking. There was only the sound of the fan of the computer working and the typing of the keyboard. The sound kept ringing, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense and depressing!
This is the Homeland Observation and Strategic Security Bureau directly under the High Committee, the most mysterious department in the reconstruction area.
It holds the most powerful power of mankind so far, and is also the strongest and last defense in the reconstruction area.
Through satellites, high-grade animal skin-modified early warning airships, drone images, and ground radar, we have built an airtight monitoring network for the entire reconstruction area, paying close attention to all possible impacts on the reconstruction area. The threat of a fatal crisis.
Among them, monitoring the eighth-level life and carrying out strategic strikes against him at any time is one of the most important tasks of this department.
Here, the distance from the reconstruction area is used as the safety criterion. All level eight beings wandering near the reconstruction area are divided into three danger levels.
The area from the control boundary of the reconstruction area to 400 kilometers is a high-risk level and is a target that must be attacked immediately. The area from 400 kilometers to 800 kilometers is a medium-risk level, which requires focused surveillance and requires constant vigilance.
From 800 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers, it is a low-risk level, and attention has plummeted. The main focus is to pay attention to its basic trends.
As for the more distant distance, given the current strength of the reconstruction area, it is basically a blind spot. Only satellite images can capture some traces. Of course, the relatively far geographical distance also basically isolates the threat of these lives to the reconstruction area.
Now, within the observation range, there are a total of twelve confirmed level eight beings, four of which are located in the medium-risk area, and the rest are in the low-risk area.
…
Suddenly, a staff member's face changed as he stared at the screen. Without hesitation, he pressed the alarm on the table. A harsh and noisy alarm sounded in the empty hall.
The atmosphere in the entire hall couldn't help but condense, and everyone's work subconsciously stopped.
Soon a group of people trotted into the hall from the passage. An old man with the rank of general said with a solemn face: "Everyone continues to work. The console adjusts the drone image numbered A7990 to the large central screen. At the same time, no one is there. The aircraft team will rush all the drones performing missions in the A7 area to this coordinate (X:***Y:***) and focus on monitoring its movements. "
The image soon appeared on the big screen.
In the picture, this is an eighth-level mutant beast code-named "Blue Dragon". It does look like a dragon. It is not an evil dragon from Western mythology, but a Chinese dragon.
Its body is as long and winding as a snake, its four knotted and thick claws, the ferocious horns on its forehead, and its mane like a horse's mane. Except for some differences in details, its image is similar to that in Chinese myths and legends. The dragon is very similar, and looks more majestic and more ferocious!
If Master Wang were here, he would probably recognize that this was exactly the terrifying creature that he encountered when he and Luo Yuan went to the wild to look for the Heart of Wisdom.
Perhaps due to signal interference, the large-screen image is constantly shaking, the picture is extremely blurry, and sometimes the signal is even completely lost.
However, even if the picture is somewhat distorted, everyone can still see that this level eight creature is quite agitated now. It stands on the top of the mountain, jumping up and down from time to time, roaring at the sky, and the powerful power fluctuations emitted by its body cause terrifying nearby. changes in celestial phenomena.
The white clouds in the sky are changing rapidly, billowing endlessly, appearing and disappearing suddenly.
Even across the screen, everyone who watched it felt chilled in their hearts. The power of the eighth-level life is simply beyond human understanding of living things. Such creatures should not appear in reality at all, but should appear in myths, novels and movies. middle.
"It seems a little uneasy." A major general's staff officer looked at it for a while and calmly analyzed: "It seems to be afraid of something. The console pointed the extra lens at the sky to take a look."
After a while, the big screen was immediately divided into four partitions.
"What is this?" He looked carefully. Soon he was on the upper left screen and found a small dot moving slowly in the sky. He quickly said: "Zoom in the lens!"
The originally clear image immediately became blurry as it continued to zoom in, and the same small dot gradually revealed its true form. Judging from its shape, it should be a bird. Judging from the fact that this creature can be irritable with this blue dragon, It is obviously also the first eight levels of life.
The admiral's face was heavy. He didn't notice an eighth-level creature near the life reconstruction area beforehand. This was completely dereliction of duty. However, this moment was not the time for accountability. He said in a deep voice: "The radar locked it and immediately calculated its altitude. !”
"The target cannot be observed by radar, it is radar invisible and is now mobilizing nearby satellites."
"Through laser ranging, its altitude is approximately 56,400 meters."
…
"The satellite has locked onto the target!" the satellite team reported shortly.
"Notify the nuclear attack review team of the High Commission!" the admiral said with a heavy face.
An inconspicuous middle-aged man wearing a major's military uniform next to him immediately took out his confidential phone, walked to the side and said a few words. After a while, he hung up the phone, walked back quickly, and said to the general: "We have been notified. Temporary permission has been issued!”
Even today, nuclear bombs are launched as frequently as conventional weapons, and the nuclear key is still a symbol of power. Without the temporary authority issued by the nuclear attack review team of the High Commission, even as a general in the reconstruction area, there is no Ability to use nuclear weapons.
"Then connect the strategic troops, put them on first-level alert, and notify the Southeast Military Region to do a good job in nuclear prevention."
…
"The Southeast Military Region has been notified and the other party has confirmed it!"
"The connection is complete, please give instructions from the leader!"
…
The admiral did not immediately issue an order for a nuclear strike, but just waited quietly.
Not many people know that there are not many nuclear bombs in stock in the reconstruction area. Unlike Russia and the United States, which had large nuclear stockpiles before the end of the world and could squander them at will, China's nuclear bomb stockpile is not even one-tenth of those of these two countries. arrive.
Coupled with the continuous consumption in the past two years and the lack of uranium resources in the area near the reconstruction area (the detonation of hydrogen bombs also requires atomic bombs to ignite), the number of nuclear bombs in such a large reconstruction area is now less than ten, and every time one is detonated, there are fewer nuclear bombs. One piece.
If this confidential news were spread, it might be enough to cause panic among humans.
Otherwise, how could the redevelopment area tolerate such extremely dangerous lives wandering around the periphery
As time passed, the blue dragon's slender and huge body coiled around a mountain, crawling uneasily. It became more and more irritable, and a trace of red mist-like energy filled its body.
The video image is shaking more and more!
One bird and one beast faced each other for more than ten minutes, and the situation finally changed.
What was originally a small dot in the sky suddenly enlarged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It trailed behind it smoke and clouds like rays of light, and the colors changed enchantingly, setting off its extraordinary majesty.
It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, swooping down from high altitude in an instant.
In just ten seconds, it was already approaching the ground. Still thousands of meters in the air, a pair of sharp claws reached out and grabbed the blue dragon like lightning.
The blue dragon roared at the flying giant bird, but it was all a bluff, and he did not dare to fight to the death. In the midst of the lightning and flint, he jumped awkwardly, and his slender body lightly jumped several kilometers away and landed on another building. mountain peak.
The next moment, the hilltop where the blue dragon was originally was clawed to pieces by the giant bird's claws.
The giant bird's wings flapped violently, the wind roared, the trees fell, and there was a burst of flying sand and rocks. It quickly controlled its body and flew into the air again, circling a few times. It patiently looked at the prey below, and the next moment its body turned desperately again. The fleeing blue dragon swooped down.
Next, the two giant beasts chased each other and fled, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, the blue dragon was quickly approaching the reconstruction area.
"They are almost approaching the highest warning line?" the major general's staff reminded in a low voice.
"Wait a minute!" the admiral said in a low voice. He stared at the screen closely, frowning slightly, hoping that there would be a turning point in the end. Compared with killing two level eight creatures, nuclear bombs are undoubtedly more harmful to the reconstruction area. valuable.
"There are still two minutes..." After a while, the staff member reminded again.
"One minute..." Sweat began to form on the staff officer's forehead, but he did not dare to wipe it away.
"Launch!" the admiral sighed.
…
The cover of an underground launch silo slowly opened. The next moment, a medium-range missile carrying a hydrogen warhead soared into the sky from the launch silo and quickly flew into the air.
At this time, the blue dragon was becoming more and more embarrassed. During the repeated attempts to evade, the body was inevitably caught several times by the giant bird's claws. Although it finally struggled to break free, the body was already scratched and covered with blood.
This giant bird is its natural enemy. This is completely a kind of intuition in the soul, which makes it unable to muster the courage to fight. Ever since it was accidentally discovered by it during hunting in the morning, this big bird has been attached to it. Necrosis of Bone was closely targeted by it.
As an eighth-level life, its IQ is not much lower than that of ordinary people, or even higher. The powerful energy fluctuations released by nuclear bomb explosions in this area can be clearly felt even from a distance. arrive.
This makes it very clear that the further forward it becomes, the more dangerous it becomes, and that area has long been determined to be a restricted area.
In the past, it would never have dared to take a step westward.
However, today its life was in danger. It could not escape or fight, so it had no choice but to run towards the dangerous restricted area to try to scare away this giant bird.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to be aware of it and was still chasing after him, as if he had no idea how dangerous it was.
At this moment, an extremely strong sense of crisis came from my heart.
It was shocked, its manes stood up one after another, its eyes widened suddenly, and it no longer dared to go forward. It moved its limbs quickly and turned to run back. At this time, the giant bird in the sky had already been caught by it. Forget aside, compared with this kind of strong danger, the natural enemies above us at this time can be completely ignored.
Unexpectedly, before the giant bird was about to escape, it had no intention of letting it go. A strong wind pressure suddenly approached from above its head. Before it could react, it felt a sharp pain in its body, like a pair of old tree roots. The huge and ferocious claws had already grasped its body.
The next moment, its body lightened up, the ground quickly moved away, and it flew up after being caught.
The blue dragon roared in horror, and its body twisted violently. The pair of sharp claws were like iron claws, deeply embedded in its body. It was of no use except that the wound widened a bit. It flew higher and higher, and was flying Fly towards the restricted area.
This discovery made the blue dragon even more frightened, and his body became stiff.
For a moment, the wind roared and the mountain top quickly retreated.
However, the next moment, a dazzling light suddenly lit up several kilometers behind, and then expanded suddenly.
Endless energy and high-energy radiation are vented in all directions.
As if they were on the surface of the sun, under the dazzling high-energy rays, the two giant beasts began to emit green smoke, and their scales and feathers melted. At the critical moment, the giant birds suddenly flapped their wings and fled as fast as lightning. The hydrogen bomb exploded. The shock wave simply cannot catch up.
Unfortunately, the giant bird could barely hold on at this time. It only flew for half a minute. Under such terrible injuries, it could no longer hold up. It was covered in smoke and fell from the air.
…
"No, below is Hope City!"
A group of people from the Homeland Observation and Strategic Security Bureau looked at the screen with their expressions changing greatly, and they were covered in cold sweat. They did not expect such a situation to occur. At this time, the two giant beasts, although seriously injured, were clearly still alive.
This is the second largest city after Xinjing and one of the most important industrial bases in the reconstruction area.
Once destroyed by them, the entire reconstruction area will be greatly affected.
"Inform the guards in Hope City, notify the sword department in Hope City and the sword squads in nearby cities, and immediately kill these two eighth-level creatures with all your strength." The admiral said with a solemn expression.
As for the Sharp Sword headquarters, it is located in Xinjing and is too far away from Hope City. Far water cannot save nearby fire. By the time we arrive, it will be too late. With the huge size of these two giant beasts, even just walking is enough. Cause widespread damage.
At this time, he suddenly remembered a confidential file and said quickly: "I remember that the new deputy director of the Sword Department lives in Hope City. Let him know immediately. Maybe there will be a turnaround."
"I guess I can't notify you!" At this time, a staff member of the team responsible for screening satellite images not far away suddenly stood up boldly and said with a strange expression.
"Why?" the admiral said with a serious face, and the group of people also looked at him with confused expressions.
Being paid attention by such a high-ranking person, the young staff member looked nervous and his voice trembled: "Reporting to the head, I... I just saw his face on the unprocessed satellite image, which was exactly the same as Minister Luo's. conform to."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air and looked at each other.
