The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

11 month 27 day.

"Sir, the situation is a bit complicated; there has been a large-scale failure in the communication equipment."

Zhang Jing gave a slightly hurried report.

At the round table, Ji Chen was enjoying a delicious meal steamed by the leader of the green beetles when he was taken aback by Zhang Jing's report.

"What happened?"

Zhang Jing approached Ji Chen, handed him a document, and offered an explanation.

"There are two reasons for the communication failure. One is that the large-scale evolution of wild species has passively damaged communication base stations and wired optical cables due to the activities of various mutated organisms."

The document contains clear images of a massive, glossy black mutated bull that charges at a base station, smashing the signal tower with its immense power.

Steel plates scattered, and fragmented electric arcs flickered as the broken parts fell.

There are also wild gorillas that uproot base stations and use them as weapons to attack their opponents.

High mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist. A few lightning-fast birds soared and darted, severing the fiber optic cable connecting the mountains and fields, and plummeted off the cliff.

"There's another reason, and it's even worse."

Zhang Jing silently flipped through the documents, and a new picture appeared.

In near-Earth orbit, several meteorites, trailing eerie blue flames, streaked towards Earth at an apparent slow but actually extremely high speed, precisely cutting into the atmosphere.

They disintegrated and split apart in the intense friction, turning into multiple deadly streaks of light that easily shattered all man-made satellites in orbit along their path.

Looking into the distance, one after another, these meteorites seem to be lining up and rushing towards Earth.

Ji Chen chuckled softly.

"What a series of misfortunes!"

Looking at Zhang Jing's silent and embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Humanity is already in a bad enough position, facing challenges from various evolving organisms to maintain its dominant position in the food chain.

As a result, the planet beyond Earth did not give humanity a chance either, instead sending a wave of meteorite pressure directly at them.

Right now it's just a small meteorite, which can only add insult to injury for Earth's humans, and won't cause a mass extinction. But what about in the future?

Ji Chen patted Zhang Jing on the shoulder without saying anything, letting Zhang Jing handle the situation herself.

He has recently found the right skill combination, and it's time for him to evolve. Therefore, he naturally has to put aside his political affairs.

. . . . . .

Before fully immersing himself in cultivation, Ji Chen had one more thing to do.

He summoned Liu Wei, who was in charge of military affairs.

"Now that the military factory is fully established, the equipment and ammunition should be supplied, right?"

"It's all thanks to the leader's care."

"Stop with all this fluff."

Ji Chen waved his hand. "I'm asking you, how many troops can you possibly spare while also taking care of city defenses?"

Liu Wei had no intention of probing his boss's thoughts and answered honestly:

"Excluding the police department, we can allocate 400 well-trained veterans and 30,000 newly formed militia members for external use."

Thirty thousand may seem like a lot, but with D City fully lifting gun restrictions and mobilizing the entire population as soldiers, aside from essential production workers, there are as many as one hundred thousand mobile militiamen.

"Alright, then I order you to immediately lead these 30,000 troops to clear all the wilderness areas within 50 miles of D City, collect the flesh and blood of evolved creatures, and, if necessary, you are permitted to use missiles!"

Since the recent surge in evolved creatures, the isolation wall under construction in D City has been frequently threatened by them.

The border wall, originally planned to be completed within a month, has therefore had its completion date postponed to December.

In order to protect his private property, D City, to avoid regrets due to a shortage of flesh and blood energy during his evolution, and to leave himself enough buffer zone.

Reduce interference from other factors during the evolutionary process.

Ji Chen had no choice but to ask the evolved creatures next to D City to die.

"yes!"

Liu Wei gave a military salute, accepted the order, and withdrew.

The following two days were spent in the D City army slaughtering the evolved creatures.

First, transport planes flew low overhead, spilling their full loads of fuel onto the wilderness that had been transformed into primeval forests.

The strong smell startled countless lurking hunters, and also planted the seeds of fire that would consume everything in the lush vegetation.

Immediately afterwards, a swarm of drones roared into the sky, their thermal imagers precisely locking onto the massive figures in the wilderness.

In evolved organisms, size often signifies strength.

The incendiary bomb then pierced the air and was precisely dropped on the locked target.

boom--

The flames spread instantly along the pre-set fuel trail, turning the wilderness into a sea of ​​fire.

The flames roared and soared into the sky, devouring them all amidst the instinctive fear and wails of the evolved creatures.

However, technology is sometimes limited.

Even with the raging fury imbued with fuel, it is difficult to completely eradicate those mutated plants that have undergone one or two rounds of evolution.

Wild fire, in spring.

In less than half a day, the raging fire that had swept across hundreds of miles subsided rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a patch of scorched black with scattered, swaying, withered yellow.

Similarly, many powerful mutated beasts survived this sudden hell thanks to their tenacious vitality.

Roar--

Ow—

The beasts roared; having escaped danger, their first instinct was to vent their fury.

Their high intelligence also allows them to understand where the attack came from.

They launched a retaliatory attack towards D City.

However, Liu Wei had already achieved his goal.

He never expected that a single fire could wipe out the evolved creatures outside the city.

The purpose of this fire was to eliminate as many of the Type 6 evolved creatures as possible—those that were individually weak but possessed strange and unusual abilities, and were likely to cause the main force to suffer losses.

Incidentally, it can also reduce the strength of powerful evolved creatures.

Subsequently, against this backdrop, an iron torrent of 30,000 soldiers began to advance out of the city.

The tracks of the main battle tank rolled over the cracked road, and the soldiers behind the tanks cleaned up the corpses of evolved creatures that were either half-cooked or fully cooked.

Further back, heavy artillery had already established firing positions.

Subsequently, the human overlords, who had dominated Earth's food chain for nearly ten thousand years, with the lingering glow of modern technology, unleashed their iron fist upon other newly evolved races.

. . . . . .

Listening to the roar of artillery fire outside the city, Ji Chen simply lay on a sofa on the rooftop of a building with an excellent view, leisurely swirling a glass of red wine, enjoying and experiencing the flames of war outside.

For him, this was just another memorable scene in this world.

It can serve as a footnote to his travels through the myriad worlds.

He has no intention of getting involved; at most, he'll act as a safety net.

In this era of natural selection and evolution, if D City cannot even handle this situation on its own, or if it has not been tempered and refined, then it is a serious problem.

When faced with attacks from fourth or fifth evolutionary creatures in the future, they will only become accessories on his legs, completely reduced to a burden.

At that time, Ji Chen, who had almost exhausted the biological talent and wisdom of D City and analyzed data on the hierarchy of various unevolved biological species, was about to pack up and leave.

"Waaah~~"

Sudden.

Ji Chen's breathing became slightly heavy, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip, his fingertips sinking deep into the two cascades of hair that were currently engaged in a fierce verbal battle and a display of martial arts.
