Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 69: Serial Traps
8 o'clock in the morning is when most people's day officially begins.
But before that, if the poor Chinese wanted to find some seafood to eat, they had to get up early and go to the beach to pick it up. If they went too late, they might not get anything to eat.
Just west of Omotesai Island, there seems to be a black hole in the coastal area. The civilians who went here in the morning have never been able to come out again.
Until 8 o'clock, suddenly!
A huge wall appeared out of nowhere!
There was a crowd of people above, and at a glance, there were no less than 10,000 people!
The Shen Ji troops who were patrolling here were just about to pee on the beach and harass a few fair-skinned little boys when... the sky turned cloudy!
"Strange... Is it going to rain?"
When the team leader looked up, he didn't see any dark clouds, but a huge stone wall!
At least 50 meters high!
"Nani!"
He was instantly frightened and distracted!
Then, a rain of arrows fell from above, "Swish, swish, swish--"
Except for the second-level team leader, the other 20 first-level junior patrolmen were pierced by arrows and died instantly...
Shen Jin laughed loudly and said, "Go tell your higher-ups that we're here to take someone away!"
"ah!"
The team leader felt the strong pressure from the extraordinary people above, as well as the crossbow that was glowing with a faint light, and he screamed and fled back to the main base of Shenji.
However, he just couldn't figure out... when was such a high wall built on their coast?
They came here to patrol yesterday!
Just one day? Impossible?
Can't those people from the Intelligence Department see that someone is working here?
They don’t watch the screen every day...are they eating shit?
Satellites are used to take bikini photos?
Finally, he said thankfully: "Fortunately, they are just dead..."
Soon, the news reached Shenji headquarters, and the top leaders of Shenji were shocked!
"Just like that... our house was robbed? It was... so sudden." An old man said stupidly while touching his bald head.
"Damn it! This must be a conspiracy. How could they build such a big wall around us?"
"That's right, this person was under a psychedelic-like ability and saw what the other party wanted him to see, so... there's no need to panic!"
A middle-aged man from Shenji made the final decision, and instantly everyone else nodded in agreement.
Compared to the version of the Arabian Nights, they are more willing to believe in something like psychedelics. "Shang Xiu's sensitivity is just this kind of ability. It has psychedelicized many marginal figures in our Shen Ji. It's nothing to worry about. We can just send some people to take a look!"
At this time, the hooded male leader raised his hand and said, "Since our people were shot and killed, it proves that the enemy must have come to our place and was able to bypass our satellite surveillance system... There shouldn't be too many of them, most of them are elites. Send more people to check. If their strength is average, just kill them directly!"
He didn't seem to be panicking at all, but the people in the intelligence department seemed to be hesitant to speak. Murata snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with the intelligence work, but still said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
The Intelligence Department hurriedly said, "Murata-sama, although illusion is the most likely answer, but... our Intelligence Observation Department has just received news that a huge unknown building has suddenly appeared on our west coast. Not only is there a wall, but there is also a small closed base built behind it..."
"absurd!"
Murata shouted loudly, and then said in a determined tone: "It seems that a rare light-type mutant has been sent this time. He has the ability to distort light. The high-level ability can even directly create a mirage . Even if the satellite takes pictures, it will be what the other party wants us to see. You should send more people to kill these people who pretend to be ghosts!"
Others echoed, "Souga! No wonder it was able to escape our satellite surveillance. It turns out that it changed the environment by distorting light. This is even more powerful than illusion!"
"But! This kind of energy fluctuation cannot escape the eyes of us third-level transcendents!"
"It's like a bubble, it bursts at the touch of a finger~!"
Everyone was delighted and felt proud that they had seen through each other's intentions.
Then, Murata looked at the head of the intelligence department coldly and said, "Chief Nobi, you don't even know the common sense of psychics. I am very disappointed in you..."
"This..." The head of the intelligence department broke out in a sweat. He felt a tremendous pressure, a feeling even stronger than that of Inoue. It made him, a third-level intermediate transcendent... have no thought of resisting, even though he now felt that the photos taken by the satellite were too clear. There were probably more than 10,000 people!
But... he didn't dare to say it.
In this base, no one dares to question the boss...
"Wait! When did this habit start? Isn't Inoue-kun the strongest of the Gods? Why do I feel a more terrifying pressure from the boss than Inoue?"
The third-level extraordinary people have strong perception abilities, and it is easier for them to see a person's strength. He never thought that the boss was stronger than Inoue-kun before.
"No... Shen Ji has always chosen the most powerful person as the boss? If Boss Murata is not as powerful as Inoue-kun, how could he have become the boss? So... I must have been a little confused because I haven't indulged myself in sex for a long time. After they leave, I will quickly find some little girls to exercise my body..."
Although Nobita from the Intelligence Department thought so, but... he looked at the dark hole in the hood of Boss Murata and always felt that something was wrong.
"Alright! You guys take some people with you, and the rest of you can stay with me at the headquarters. Be careful of the other party cheating..."
Everyone's admiration for Murata suddenly increased. That's right!
Isn't the purpose of doing all this to trick them out?
If the headquarters comes out in full force, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?
Six of the 12 warriors took orders and set off.
They took their respective troops and headed to the west coast.
There were a total of 1,200 people in the group!
There are a large number of extraordinary people in the Divine Assembly, and even if only a part of them are sent out, they have enough power. As long as the opponent is not the kind of formation that comes to encircle the well, they can easily defeat him.
“Haha, we don’t need to scare ourselves. They were able to defeat Master Jingbian last night, so they must have suffered heavy casualties. How could they come to us so soon?”
"This is just their empty city plan. The walls are all illusions. There is actually nothing inside!"
"Right, right, right! They are called... Thirty-Six Stratagems!"
The six samurai talked as they marched.
With these six warriors in charge, even if the other party brings multiple third-level extraordinary people, they can still transmit signals to the headquarters and request support.
It's only 10 minutes away from here, and they will be able to get support soon.
So, don’t panic at all!
10 minutes later…
The six warriors looked at the towering wall in front of them and took a deep breath. "Hiss... This is too real!"
"The other party must be a third-level extraordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to create such a realistic building!"
"Wait! Feel it... There is no energy in these building stones!"
Everyone used their strongest observation ability to feel the energy factors in the air. As long as the other party has superpowers and maintains superpowers, clues will definitely be discovered!
But...no!
Ahead is a solid... stone wall!
“That’s strange…”
At this time, 1,200 people had arrived at the bottom of the city wall and saw the 20 patrolmen who had just been shot dead.
Their bodies were pierced by a special kind of short arrow. Even the body of a first-level power-type extraordinary being was vulnerable to this arrow, which pierced directly through the heart, leaving no chance of survival.
One of the six warriors, a short and fat man, squatted down, picked up a short arrow from an unlucky patrolman, and examined it carefully before his eyes and said, "The workmanship of this short arrow... is so exquisite, and there is an energy different from our superpowers wrapped around it, which gives it more destructive power... It's very strange! The weapon that can fire this kind of crossbow arrow is also very powerful!"
Although the short and fat man is not good-looking, he used to be a military adviser to the Chuibing Kingdom and an expert in cold weapons. After the end of the world, he also provided many production suggestions for Shenji's weapons, so what he said was very professional.
"Looking at the force and the order in which the soldiers fell, they should have been attacked at the same time, which means there were at least 20 people on the opposite side!"
"So... this powerful long-range weapon on the opposite side can cause fatal damage to a first-level transcendent, which proves that it can also threaten a second-level transcendent!"
At this time, a bald man who was not very smart among the six warriors said, "Brothers! What if the enemy really has more than 10,000 people and they all have this kind of weapon? What should we do?"
Suddenly, the third-level transcendent with enhanced ears suddenly heard a subtle sound, which was the sound of a mechanism being pulled!
"Baga! This means that we will suffer the same fate as these people. Run!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other third-level extraordinary people suddenly turned around and looked at the city wall. They were all pointing retro-styled crossbows at them. There were more than 2,000 crossbows!
Suddenly, the six people's scalps went numb!
“Run!”
Before their men could react to what was happening, they saw their bosses quickly retreating using their skills.
They reacted in 1 second and followed their boss to retreat. This one second was the death sentence for them...
The dense crossbow arrows in the sky fell rapidly. The gravity acceleration from the high altitude made the crossbow arrows faster and faster, until they pierced through the 1,200 extraordinary troops brought by the six warriors. "Puff puff puff--"
Flowers of blood bloomed from these people. The light armor on their bodies was completely useless. It was no different from wearing a piece of tofu. Because they were still just pre-apocalyptic industrial-level creations, they could not withstand the most powerful long-range weapon in the Artisan Soul module - the crossbow!
Dimensionality reduction attack!
Just like a tank troop heading to ancient times and sweeping across the world, the pickaxe is in charge of creation!
Shen Jin is the strongest craftsman in the world!
Shen Jin's equipment is the strongest in the world!
No one can defeat him!
The 2200 extraordinary people from Shen Jin's No. 1 home crushed the 1200 extraordinary people of Shen Ji at first sight. When the first round of arrows fell, at least half of the extraordinary people of Shen Ji were killed or injured. Some first-level extraordinary people were pierced through the vitals and killed directly. Other first-level extraordinary people were shot in the leg bones and lumbar vertebrae, and their bones were broken, completely losing the ability to move.
Even a second-level transcendent, when facing a rain of arrows, can only mobilize their own special powers or gene locks to resist forcibly, but... the crossbow can still shoot into their bodies fiercely, just like a black macho man, no matter how terrifying the abyss is, they can explore to the bottom and shoot into it with their sharp arrows!
He dealt a fatal blow to the enemy and let out a terrified “Ah~!~!”
Before the extraordinary people of the God Assembly who had luckily escaped the first round of shooting had time to be happy, small , and red light flashed inside, and then...
"biubiubiu~!"
Thousands of red lasers shot out from the city walls, directly covering everyone!
"Nani!"
"Baka!"
"What the Fuck!?"
With extremely high heat, four parallel lasers swept across quickly from top to bottom, just like the laser net in "Resident Evil", leaving people nowhere to escape!
Those who don't have time to react will have their bodies instantly penetrated and melted by the laser!
"Hey~! Why is there a big hole in my chest?"
"Ahhh! My arm was shot off!"
"Baka! My dick was broken into two pieces..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling, as if it was hell on earth.
They could never have imagined that there was a secret hidden in the stone wall behind them. Inside were all the [transmitters] arranged by Shen Jin, and the [energy laser guns] were placed inside, set to [long-range mode], and then the [redstone] was used to connect the signal. As long as they came to the shooting range, they would directly pull the [pull rod] to launch this dragnet-like attack. Some alert second-level extraordinary people discovered the laser attack from behind at the first time, jumped up instantly, avoided the 4-meter-high laser net scanning, and then...
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The heads of these "smart people" were shot through by lasers fired 6-7 meters above them, deliberately a step slower!
Serial traps!
This wave killed most of the already small number of Shenji Transcendental Troops, leaving only about 100 people. The rest were all Transcendental Troops with powerful abilities or protective abilities. They had no time to catch their breath and just as they ran back, "Puff, puff, puff--"
Another round of crossbow arrows swept down, and this time... there were few people left standing on the ground, but the lasers still swept across again, completely piercing through those extraordinary people who had lost their ability to move, burning them into pools of charred flesh!
The scene was extremely bloody, just like Shen Jin’s anger!
The six warriors fled from Shen Jin's attack area at the first opportunity. They watched with grim faces as their men were killed by weapons and traps of unknown origin, and they had no way to fight back for a while. If they were asked to climb the 50-meter-high city wall, it would be easy, but... what was on the wall?
Is it something they can handle?
Is it possible that I will be killed just like these subordinates?
The six people stared at each other: "..."
"Damn it! Let's go back and tell the boss that the wall here is real! There are many traps! Even a second-level extraordinary person can't resist it!"
"Yes! Let's go and tell the boss!"
"Let's go together!"
The six warriors found a common topic and decided to leave in an instant, so they all retreated.
Fear comes from the unknown...
Even if they are third-level transcendents, they cannot explain why a wall suddenly appeared here, where did all the people on it come from, why are these traps so powerful, and what other means are there?
In their perception, this entire wall is full of crises!
Big crisis!
"Fortunately... these traps can only deal with our men, and they can't threaten us for the time being!"
The short and fat warrior said thankfully.
Then……
A wall of air appeared in the direction of their retreat.
A figure in silver-white armor floated in the air, holding two golden giant swords in his hands. A faint mechanical voice came out: "Since you are here, don't leave..."
