I Am Extraordinary Alone -
Chapter 415 - 413 Fengrao Operation
Chapter 415: Chapter 413 Fengrao Operation
The communication channel had been quiet for a while.
By now, the helicopter Wang Ye was riding had drawn close to the outer perimeter of Fengrao City. The high-speed railway tracks and the factories in the suburbs were clearly visible beneath them, and the low buildings in the distance resembled a concrete sea undulating in the darkness. The brightly colored colossal city lit up half the sky, but at the very top, a palm-sized dark shadow was especially conspicuous.
Although it was only the size of a palm, considering that the helicopter was flying at a height not even reaching the second level of Fengrao City, which was already at the height of the 26th floor, to fully understand how big that thing was, one would have to fly up.
Many Yin people living in high-rises were fleeing the city by car, while the people on the lower levels didn’t know what was happening above, and since it was late at night, they didn’t react at all.
But Fengrao City was a large city and, considering just the Yin people and the wealthy class from a couple of floors, the population was already over a million. Inevitably, a large number of escaping vehicles had congested Fengrao’s main traffic arteries causing severe traffic jams, and there were even some car accidents in certain sections.
Wang Ye used the map component to locate the deployment of tanks and armored vehicles, while Li Suyuan’s mech squad had already infiltrated to the city’s top via military high-speed elevators.
"Where is Venerable Qin?" At that moment, the rocket force commander asked in the channel.
"Venerable Qin left Fengrao City an hour and a half ago, didn’t contact anyone, and has already flown to Grennham Duchy," the supreme commander said.
"Get the fire authorization from her!" the rocket force commander urged.
"We’re trying to make contact! But Venerable Qin has not connected to the military channel, and her personal contact methods are completely under Silence!" the supreme commander said.
There was another bout of silence on the channel; everyone knew what this meant.
The damn woman ran off by herself when trouble arose and didn’t plan to handle this matter at all.
"We can’t just keep at a stalemate like this!!" the rocket force commander said.
"Evacuate the civilians first! You guys target that thing, and send infantry with experts from the Academy up there! Try to make contact with the Emperor!" the command came down from the commander.
Then, the whole array started to get back into action, but the fighter jets were really struggling; after wasting so much time, the twenty-some fighter jets that had taken off from various airports could only return to refuel.
At that moment, four infantry brothers from the same dorm privately messaged Wang Ye, "Brother! Where does your mom live?!"
Wang Ye’s heart warmed, and he quickly replied to the private message, "Thanks! Over here!"
He sent the map coordinates of his house, and the other party said, "Our squad starts evacuating civilians from the perimeter, keep an eye on the Emperor’s movements up there."
Wang Ye said, "Okay! If anything happens, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a blinding green light beam lit up half the sky and emitted a piercing high-frequency wave sound.
Wang Ye looked up; the beam was emitted by the Emperor...
Following the direction of the expanding beam, a helicopter hovering high in the sky exploded.
In the HUD’s array, five lights went out instantly.
The channel turned into chaos:
"Number 4 has been shot down!!"
"Is that the Emperor?! Who’s taking responsibility?!"
"I don’t know!!"
"Are we firing or not? Hurry the fuck up!!"
"Fuck it!! Fire the cannons!!"
"Fire!!"
The rocket force, stationed dozens of kilometers away, was the first to open fire. Even from Fengrao City, Wang Ye could see a row of white lights brightening up the dark horizon; then, dozens of white trails spread out in the sky, heading this way.
At the same time, he heard the helicopter’s warning radar wailing frantically.
"What’s happening?!" Wang Ye asked urgently.
The pilot said, "The radar has detected a large number of unidentified flying objects, but I can’t see anything!"
"Could it be the Rocket Army’s artillery?" a teammate asked.
"No! They’re as big as people, alive! But I can’t see a thing!!" the pilot said.
Before he could finish speaking, the helicopter’s rotor seemed to have shredded something. A hefty, viscous lower half of a snake or nematode fell off, splattering a large amount of green thick juice onto Wang Ye’s helmet visor.
"Fuck!!! What the fuck is that!!!" Wang Ye leaned back, and another teammate quickly grabbed him and helped him wipe it off.
At that moment, a woman, bare-chested and flapping six large transparent insect wings, clung to the cabin door, trying to get in.
Wang Ye saw that the woman’s appearance was not human at all, she had no nostrils, her sclera was completely black, and her mouth was open, full of serrated teeth.
He pushed his teammate away and kicked her off.
At this time, the helicopter began to maneuver sharply. The radar could detect, but these things seemed invisible from a certain distance.
Wang Ye quickly got into position; other people in the frequency also marked the unidentified flying creatures in the airspace.
The artillery fire came over at that moment, lasting only 12 seconds.
Lingxiao Palace was blasted into pieces, the top lights of Fengrao City went out instantly, plunging it into darkness. Some artillery shells even fell on the rural outskirts.
"Those below!" the Rocket Army shouted.
"Fuck your grandma!" the infantry formation retorted.
"We are approaching the Emperor! Is the original mission canceled? Are we now to use lethal methods on the Emperor?!" the mech squad commander asked at this time.
"That’s not the Emperor! That’s a monster! Kill it!" the commander ordered at this time.
Wang Ye, firing the autocannon into the airspace, couldn’t see the creatures, but the bullets hit something after travelling a certain distance, and many hit marks appeared on the HUD of his helmet.
After firing continuously for 12 seconds, his teammate quickly removed the gun barrel, replaced it with a new one, and Wang Ye nodded inside his helmet, pulling up maps to check on the ground troops.
The teams responsible for evacuation were actually understaffed; there were over 6,000 infantrymen, but they couldn’t evacuate millions of people overnight, and moreover, the Emperor was right above them, launching indiscriminate attacks.
Moreover, Wang Ye was sure that thing had more capabilities than this; it wasn’t likely to just have these two tricks; it was being too lazy now. The Emperor had previously ordered the troops to come support... perhaps, it was her residual will struggling at the end.
Now, was the Emperor still there? If the Emperor had completely perished... what would that thing do?
After a round of artillery, the top floor of Fengrao City had collapsed, Lingxiao Palace and the lower level’s Jade Pavilion must have been destroyed, the beautiful glass dome garden shattered into bits, and the pool water cascaded down, slamming into the civilian area below through the open courtyards.
The ground forces cursed loudly, tanks broke through walls, creating pathways to guide people who had just woken up to evacuate as quickly as possible, while broadcasts continuously reported trying to wake up citizens still in deep sleep.
There were still a large number of unidentified creatures in the sky; four armed helicopters were far from enough, and many ground armored vehicles started shooting at the sky with heavy machine guns.
Wang Ye sent a private message to the three soldiers: "Are you guys okay?!"
However, there was no response for a long time.
At that moment, at the smoke-enveloped top, something moved, a long tail whipped through the air like a lash, then coiled back into the dark mist.
Then, a woman’s gigantic face popped out of the thick fog, long black hair cascading down, her snake-like long neck allowing her head to reach far out from the fog, a pair of purple pupils flickering with strange light, visible to everyone through various instruments and observational methods.
She was Zhao Ling.
