Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 97 The high lord shows off his power!

The moment the flames rose, Liu Mang had already dodged out and arrived at the coastal defense base in just over ten seconds.

"What's going on?" Liu Mang pulled over a lieutenant colonel and asked.

The lieutenant colonel wanted to get angry. At this time, anyone dared to waste his time?
But when he saw Liu Mang's familiar face, he immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Chief!"

"Come on, tell me what happened!" Liu Mang said anxiously.

"The system detected a monster approaching underground. The energy level reaction is S-level, so it launched a ground-penetrating missile to destroy it."

S-level refers to high-level lords. Monsters are divided into 10 levels according to their energy levels, from H-level, the primary beast soldiers, to SS-level, the king-level planetary monsters.

The level of equipment also corresponds to the level of monsters, from 1 to 9, corresponding to nine levels: H level, G level...C level, B level, A level, and S level.

The 9th series of weapons and combat uniforms, that is, S-level weapons and combat uniforms, can fight with high-level lords without worrying about damage.

"Did the missile work?"

The lieutenant colonel shook his head. Missiles were basically ineffective against high-level lord-level monsters. Apparently, the same was true for the earth-penetrating missiles this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to rush to his post to organize defense against the enemy.

Waving his hand to let the lieutenant colonel leave, Liu Mang contacted the top leaders in confusion. At this stage, human conventional weapons are unable to deal with high-level lord-level monsters. The top leaders knew this, so why didn't they contact him to ask him for help?
As soon as the call was connected, the top leader spoke directly: "Mr. Liu, I know what you want to say, but humans need this battle to recognize the strength of monsters. This war base has reached the limit of conventional firepower, and its combat power far exceeds that of the original Yuanlang. If even such a war base cannot fight against high-level lord monsters, humans can truly put martial arts first."

"This is not only the need of the world, but also the need of Hanxia. Please forgive us for doubting your judgment, but mankind has reached a critical moment of life and death. There is no time to doubt, and no power to pursue two paths at the same time. Whether to focus on warriors or technology in the future, let this battle determine it."

"This battle will be broadcast live to the whole world through the Internet. Humanity needs this battle to understand the situation clearly. Please don't blame me, Mr. Liu. Also, if the war base fails, please kill the monster and strengthen the confidence of the people of the world to follow the path of martial arts!"

Liu Mang was silent. He expected that Han Xia would not completely believe his words and there would definitely be corresponding verification, but he did not expect it to be in such a drastic way.

We’ll know whether it works or not after a fight. This is Han Xia’s current thought, simple, but extremely effective.

Nuclear bombs should not be used unless absolutely necessary, and the pinnacle of conventional weapons is the war base in front of us. If such a base cannot kill a high-level lord monster, then humans have no choice but to take the path of martial arts.

If you succeed in killing the monster, and if you evaluate that the investment is far greater than using a warrior, you can still firmly follow the path of a warrior.

But if the gap between investment and use of warriors is not much or even smaller, then humans will never put the technology that has been developed for hundreds of years in a secondary position.

If the path of warriors cannot take the lead, the country cannot implement extremely high welfare for warriors, and cannot call on people across the country to try the path of warriors. This will inevitably miss out on a large number of martial arts talents and will not be conducive to long-term development in the future.

When facing a crisis, if there is no single choice, differences will inevitably arise. If the differences cannot be resolved, they will turn into internal strife. Human beings no longer have the strength left for internal strife.

All of this is so similar to the conflict between The Wandering Earth Project and the Digital Life Project.

This battle is to verify the feasibility!
Whoohoo!
With three consecutive whistling sounds, three missiles soared into the sky and then plunged straight into the ground. When they penetrated more than 50 meters underground, they exploded violently, blowing up the rocks and soil on the ground. "Ang!" A sound like a bull's cry sounded, and a monster similar to the tunnel worm in the Lord of the Rings suddenly drilled out from the ground. Its huge mouth opened to reveal tens of thousands of densely packed sharp teeth, swallowing several tanks in one gulp, and its long body swung to overturn several missile launchers.

The monster's body is covered with scales, but if you look closely you can find dense tentacles wriggling beneath the scales, occasionally winding and circling. Pink tender flesh is exposed between the segments of the body, but densely packed larvae are attached to it, twisting, crawling, and wriggling, like caterpillars crawling on tree branches in summer.

Liu Mang felt a little chilly and his SAN value dropped again. Why did these monsters look so scary? Are they really mutations of Earth’s creatures?
Whoohoo!
The sound of missiles launching continuously rang out, and hundreds of automatic machine guns roared at the same time, pouring bullets at the monster at a rate of one hundred rounds per second.

Howitzers, tanks, rocket launchers, cannons, heavy artillery, and giant cannons all worked in unison. Dozens of armed helicopters took off and attacked the monster, and the fire button was never released once it had been pressed.

Boom boom boom!

The violent explosion resounded through the sky, and the deafening roar almost deafened everyone in the training camp not far away. The earth was also shaking under the modern firepower, and the tremors could be clearly felt as far as 50 kilometers away.

"Ang——!" The monster roared again, but this time it was different from the greeting just now. Visible sound waves shot out from its mouth, and as its head swayed, it tore everything in front of it into pieces!
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of tanks were blown into the air and torn apart by the sound waves, and their ammunition exploded instantly, with scattered metal fragments whizzing towards the base.

The armed helicopter was the first to be hit by the metal storm. The tiny holes visible to the naked eye instantly connected into one piece and tore the helicopter into pieces.

Ding--clang--bang--boom!

Metal fragments fell to the ground all over the sky, and missiles exploded from time to time, blowing helicopters into pieces. With one blow, almost all the mobile units in the base were destroyed!
Fortunately, the tanks and helicopters were controlled by intelligent systems and there were no casualties, otherwise this wave of direct losses would have been heavy.

The firepower did not stop, maintaining a saturation attack on the monster, causing sparks and flames to burst out on its solid scales, but apart from smoking it black and red, there was no damage at all.

Although the explosion could not hurt the monster, it hindered its movement. The continuous explosions blew it back again and again, making the sonic attack no longer effective.

call--!
At this time, a special whistling sound was heard. Compared with ordinary missiles, this whistling sound was sharper and longer. Liu Mang looked up and found that it was the vibration missile he had seen before!

This time there were three at once. The hypersonic missiles soared into the sky and then fell quickly, hitting the monster's head accurately.

Boom boom boom!
There was no explosion. Instead, a missile more than ten meters long knocked the monster to the ground.

A closer look revealed that the warhead had been replaced with the strongest A7-grade Orichalcum steel currently developed. Naturally, the solid warhead could not explode, and could only cause impact damage.

This is normal. The vibration warhead was tried on the Yuanlang last time. This type of missile that induces resonance has a very poor effect on living organisms. It is better to hit people with the huge impact force brought by hypersonic speed.

But this high-level lord is different from the last lobster. That lobster is in the molting period and its defense has greatly reduced. Its level is only a mid-level lord. It becomes a high-level lord after molting. The "tunnel worm" in front of it is obviously already a high-level lord and is no longer in the molting period, so its defense is incomparable.

Sure enough, the impact of three hypersonic missiles failed to break his defense. A7-level Ohari steel was more than enough to deal with primary lords, but it was too weak to face high-level lords. Even though it was twisted and broken, it could not break through the monster's scales.

But the impact still caused some internal injuries to the monster, which made it extremely angry!

Without even looking up, the monster fell down, with its entire upper body lying on the ground. It squirmed, and its tail, which was more than thirty meters long, swung out from the soil and lashed towards the war base like a whip!
Under the influence of the whip effect, the huge tail instantly broke through four times the speed of sound and smashed into the top of the base which was 100 meters high. Once it hit, the entire base would be cut in half!
