Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 31: Cataclysmic Beast Tide, New York Falls!

Great Xia Time, 9:00 AM.

Inside Shelter 057, the sunlight was exceptionally bright, much like Lin Ye's joyful mood.

"Neural Reaction Speed, Peak Advanced General!"

Lin Ye looked at the bright red data on the test screen, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

The result was not far from what he had expected.

Lin Ye's biggest gain this time was directly improving his 'Subtle' Movement Technique to 'Perfect' Movement Technique.

Compared to the Subtle level, the Perfect level Movement Technique had an even better effect.

It allowed him to fully utilize any object in the surrounding environment and make the most precise dodges.

This had indescribable benefits for Lin Ye's future battles.

Similarly, the advancement of his Movement Technique also gave Lin Ye a lot of confidence.

In the future, when challenging higher-level monsters, he could rely on his advantages in Movement Technique and speed to gain a large number of attribute points, entering a positive cycle of strength improvement.

"I really want to go to the wasteland area and venture out again!"

The thought of his Perfect level Movement Technique made Lin Ye couldn't help but feel excited.

But now, he couldn't.

Right now, he had something more important than killing monsters to gain attribute points—passing the assessment and signing a contract with the military.

Then, using the military's power to cure his sister's illness and solve his biggest worry!

An unspeakable joy spread in Lin Ye's heart.

……

At the same time, in an international metropolis far away in another time zone.

This night was destined to be restless.

The night was like a tide.

As always, it dyed the seaside megacity of New York black.

Under the dark night, the metropolis of New York was filled with skyscrapers.

Neon lights flickered, and the gentle sea breeze made people feel as if they were in a world of light and shadow.

However,

no one could have imagined that.

An unprecedented disaster was imminent.

"Attention all residents! Warning! A beast tide is coming! A beast tide is coming…"

The highest decibel broadcast echoed over the entire city.

The shrill air raid siren wailed, like the hand of the Grim Reaper clutching tightly to fate.

Military vehicles sped through the streets, summoning martial artists and evacuating irrelevant personnel.

"Attention all students! Warning! A beast tide is coming! A beast tide is coming…"

At a suburban middle school, the elderly principal held a megaphone and shouted hoarsely…

"Attention all stockholders! Warning! A beast tide is coming! A beast tide is coming!!"

"Please take shelter in the nearest underground shelter!!"

"Say it again!! Please take shelter in the nearest underground shelter!!"

"…"

On the streets of Wall Street, a broadcast vehicle equipped with dozens of loudspeakers was roaring at the highest decibel.

Times Square, Chinatown, government buildings, commercial districts, major consortia, families… countless people scurried out of buildings in panic, fleeing in panic to the nearest underground shelters, waiting for the beast tide to pass.

Inside a movie theater, all the movies being shown stopped abruptly.

Replaced by rows of bright red, eye-catching huge fonts—

"A beast tide is coming, all martial artists assemble, irrelevant personnel immediately take shelter in the nearest underground shelter!!"

"A beast tide is coming, martial artists assemble, irrelevant personnel immediately take shelter in the nearest underground shelter!!"

The same warning appeared in the streets and alleys of New York City.

……

The entire city of New York was covered by shrill alarms that tore through the sky.

Near the coast of New York Harbor, which was closest to the Pacific Ocean, giant war bases were built to prevent sea monsters from entering the inland.

Inside an observation post of a war base, a male martial artist looked out at the ocean, his eyes deep: "Another beast tide?"

"I wonder what scale this beast tide is?"

"No matter what scale it is, we have so many coastal defense guns, missiles, rockets, laser bombs, incendiary bombs… no matter how many monsters come, it's useless."

The tall, thin man next to him looked at a video and replied casually.

Male martial artist: "…"

"Aowu…"

"Rumble…"

On the sea surface, which was integrated with the night, faint roars of beasts came from afar.

Patches of continuous, blurred shadows appeared under the night.

Male martial artist: "The beast tide… is coming!!"

As if an endless sea of beasts, approaching the human base step by step from the sea…

"The first round of bombing, begin!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

"…"

At the same time,

countless missiles soared into the sky from various artillery bases in America, wave after wave, continuously.

Like comets descending to earth, they plunged into the distant sea of beasts with a roar.

Light… lit up silently.

Even the moon in the sky dimmed in an instant.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

……

Inside the underground shelter.

Most of the citizens were lying on the ground, listening to the violent shaking of the earth, everyone felt their chest getting tighter and tighter.

Some people also folded their hands and prayed that the beast tide would recede quickly and they would see the light of day again soon.

"The second round of bombing, launch!!"

"…"

"…"

"The third round of bombing, launch!"

"…"

"…"

"The twenty-fifth round of bombing, launch!"

……

……

For a full hour and a half, the explosions continued one after another.

A country's years of accumulation were being rapidly consumed at this moment…

The night sky was already shrouded in layers of gray smoke.

It had not dissipated since the first wave of bombing.

Missiles, rockets, incendiary bombs, grenades… none were absent, tilting towards the beast tide as if they were free.

On the fiercely burning sea, countless monster corpses floated, densely packed.

In the soaring red light, countless monsters were annihilated in the bombing just now.

However, more monsters had just arrived.

Between the sky and the earth, the almost endless monsters were constantly approaching the coastline…

Ten minutes later, a video circulated on the martial artist forum—

A president was standing on a platform, his expression gloomy and ugly.

"Hong, Thor, leaders of various countries, war gods… a cataclysmic beast tide has descended on New York…"

He looked at the camera, his voice low and mournful, "I… am very sad to tell everyone that New York… is gone."

"New York… is gone!"

As his arm waved weakly, the screen switched immediately.

In the video, the most realistic and cruel scenes facing New York City were being broadcast in real time—

"Rumble～～～"

In the sound of artillery fire that seemed to shatter the earth.

Densely packed, overwhelming sea monsters either ejected from New York Harbor or quickly crawled out.

The artillery fire from the steel fortress was just like scratching an itch for these astronomical sea monsters.

Kill a batch, and the next batch will continue to rush forward.

Even the rounds of missile carpet bombing still failed to stop this terrible beast tide of hundreds of billions.

Boom!!

A giant monster with sharp horns on its head broke through a steel fortress, slaughtering the martial artists and soldiers inside.

At the same time, hundreds of such giant monsters appeared everywhere on this steel dragon, fearlessly ramming into the steel fortress.

Behind them, densely packed sea monsters followed closely, as if endless.

Leaping over the first line of defense fortresses, they frantically rushed towards the several lines of defense deployed in the city…
