National Fate: Eight Yin Generals Guard China from Their Sleeping Coffins

The Ice Kingdom's position.

The newly arrived contestant, Hans, stood on the crumbling city wall, his hands gripping a rusty iron sword.

His legs trembled, and his gaze fell on the city wall below.

The three thousand bone shield monsters did not launch a full-scale charge.

The monster commander raised the bone flag in his hand and waved it to the left.

Two hundred small, nomadic hunters broke away from the main force, bypassed the frontal defenses, and quickly climbed up the city wall in its shadow.

Hans's teammate was a middle-aged woman who was kneeling on the ground, praying with her hands clasped together.

The hunters ignored the woman crying on the city wall; their target was the breach in the wall left from the previous round.

Ten hunters worked together to lift a thick animal bone and rammed it into the gap.

The city wall's bricks were broken, and dust filled the air.

Hans gritted his teeth, raised his sword, and charged forward.

A hunter hurled a bone spear with his backhand, which pierced Hans's throat.

Hans fell backward, his blood staining the bluestone of the city wall.

The hunters swarmed forward and tackled the remaining eight contestants to the ground.

Thirty seconds.

All nine players were eliminated.

The system's mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire Ice Kingdom.

[The entire Ice Kingdom delegation has been wiped out; the city gates are 30% damaged.]

[Initiate the mandatory substitution procedure.]

Bald Eagle Country.

Traffic was at a standstill on the streets.

People looked up in alarm.

Nine golden rays fell on different streets and buildings.

A financial executive who was drinking coffee vanished as a speck of light.

A truck driver who was driving suddenly disappeared, and the out-of-control truck crashed into a convenience store on the side of the road.

Within the realm of national destiny, nine newcomers descend upon a pool of flesh and blood.

Before the financial executives could even get their bearings, the city gates had already been breached by the hunters, who had smashed open a third of them.

The three-headed hunter leaped down from the city wall, his bone blade slicing across the neck of the financial executive.

ten seconds.

All nine substitutes were eliminated again.

The system's cold voice continued broadcasting: [All substitutes eliminated. Continue drawing.]

Golden light flashed continuously.

Wave after wave of humans descended upon the Ice Kingdom's territory.

The monsters stopped ramming the city gates and instead guarded the landing point.

As soon as the white light appears, the bone knife and spear will thrust out simultaneously.

This is no longer a siege battle; it's a slaughterhouse on an assembly line.

The population of Iceland is decreasing at a rate of 900 people per minute.

Fear completely ignited the ice country.

People abandoned their cars and rushed to airports and ports, attempting to escape the border.

The border post was crowded with people wailing.

But Jin Guang disregarded any geographical location or cover, precisely selecting those with legal citizenship.

Half an hour later, the golden light stopped flashing.

Iceland's population has been reduced to zero worldwide.

[The nation's fate is reset to zero.]

[National erasure.]

On the map of Blue Star, the territory of the Ice Kingdom collapsed with a roar.

Seawater flooded the empty city, submerging streets, houses, and vehicles.

A sovereign nation simply vanished from the face of the earth.

No life survived.

The same tragic situation unfolded simultaneously in Guiana, South America, and Burkina Faso, Africa.

The walls of the Gui Kingdom collapsed completely in the first wave of impact.

Thirty thousand monsters rushed into the landing point, and the civilians of Gui Kingdom were trampled into mincemeat before they even had time to see their surroundings.

Within two hours, the system drained the population of ten million people in the country of Gui.

A huge crater has appeared on the map of South America.

The Burkina Faso athletes attempted to retaliate using poison gas.

The monster commander ordered the mage troops to unleash a whirlwind, causing poisonous gas to flow back into the Buri Kingdom's territory. Buri civilians died en masse from the poison, ultimately leading to the destruction of the country.

On the global screen, the live broadcast rooms in the three countries turned completely black.

The comments on the public forum were scrolling by at a rate of tens of thousands per second.

[What did I just see! Three countries gone in less than two hours!]

They're not giving anyone a way to survive!

The monsters are looking for cracks in the city walls; they know how to guard corpses!

[The map of Guilin has turned into a sea! Oh my god, I have relatives there!]

[Someone was right next to me just now, and they were chosen by the golden light! Does this space really have to kill everyone?!]

[Someone help us! I'm Germanic, and our new player can't hold on much longer!]

[Fighting has broken out in the Bald Eagle Country too; their new recruits were eaten by the burrowing beasts!]

There's still no movement from China; the monsters are probing China's defenses.

We're finished. This is the real apocalypse. No one will survive.

【….】

Bald Eagle Country's position.

David lay prone on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the bone shield formation ahead.

The bone shield formation stopped fifty meters away and did not advance further.

The monster commander waved the bone flag.

The spearman inserted the energy tube at the end of his spear into the ground.

The ground shook violently, and sand and soil churned up.

Three enormous, burrowing beasts covered in serrated scales burst from the ground and appeared directly inside the walls of the Bald Eagle City.

They bypassed the main defenses!

David roared and unleashed two high-pressure flames from his hands, directly targeting the burrowing beast's head.

The burrowing beasts secrete a large amount of fire-resistant mucus on their surface, so the high-temperature flames can only char their skin black, without causing any real damage.

The two newly arrived white athletes turned and tried to run.

The burrowing beast opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, bit down on their upper bodies, and chewed and swallowed them.

Severed limbs and blood splattered on David's face.

David looked at the two newlyweds who had died tragically, feeling no sorrow, only scheming.

Taking advantage of the burrowing beast's pause in feeding, he pulled out two high-explosive grenades from his waist, removed the fuses, and stuffed them directly into the mutilated stomach of the man who had just been bitten to death.

The burrowing beast swallowed the remains whole.

"boom!"

The high-explosive grenade exploded inside the burrowing beast.

A muffled explosion rang out, the burrowing beast's belly was torn apart, its internal organs mixed with bits of flesh exploded all over the ground, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

Outside the city walls, the monster commander saw the burrowing beast die and waved his flag again, and the bone shield formation began to advance.

David turned and rushed down the city wall, grabbing the wealthy businessman Adam by the collar of his suit: "Go and plug that gap! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

Adam broke down in tears, pulling out his checkbook from his pocket and waving it wildly: "I'll give you the money! A hundred million dollars! Save me!"

David kicked Adam in the stomach, sending him flying into the gap in the corner of the wall.

Several bone spears pierced through the gap and went straight into Adam's chest.

Adam's eyes widened, and blood gushed from his mouth.

Taking advantage of Adam's body blocking the spear, David leaped onto the breach in the city wall, grabbed a heavy machine gun with both arms, and fired wildly at the outside of the breach.

Armor-piercing incendiary rounds struck the bone shield, sending sparks flying.

The monster continued its advance despite the barrage of fire.

David's eyes were bloodshot as he channeled all his fire-based powers into the barrel of the heavy machine gun.

The gun barrel turned red-hot instantly, then melted and exploded.

The powerful shockwave, mixed with hot metal fragments, blasted more than a dozen shield soldiers in front of them to pieces.

Seeing the casualties mounting, the monster commander waved his bone flag and ordered his troops to retreat, leaving behind a field of mutilated corpses.

........

The United States, barely holding on.

The cost was the deaths of two new recruits.

The Pentagon, underground command center.

General Smith sat in the main seat.

His hand holding the coffee cup trembled uncontrollably.

He was completely unaware that black coffee had spilled onto his crisp military trousers.

Dead end.

This kind of well-organized army knows how to use tactical infiltration, how to manufacture siege equipment, and how to utilize terrain.

A few newly awakened superhumans and retired soldiers simply cannot hold off the second wave.

He turned his head and looked at the Chinese battlefield on the main screen.

The Chinese front.

The monster formation did not attack blindly.

They stopped a kilometer away from the city wall.

Thirty thousand monsters suddenly scattered, forming eight square formations that surrounded the Huaxia city gates from all sides.

They are testing the defensive range of the Chinese positions, looking for any possible weaknesses.

In front of the city wall, Guan Shan stopped wiping his iron knife.

He stood up and stuffed the coarse cloth into his clothes.

He strode to the front of the city gate, facing directly at the dense, dark blue eyes amidst the swirling yellow sand.

His right hand rested on the hilt of the knife.

The blood-patterned iron sword was drawn from its sheath.

The blade made a piercing metallic sound as it left the scabbard.
