Epoch of Twilight

In fact, the attack on Hope City had already started before it was notified.

Today is no different than in peacetime. Regardless of the battlefield on the front line or the cities in the rear, they are in a state of combat readiness at all times, and their reactions to any emergencies are quite amazing.

Before the two eighth-level lives landed, the air defense system network deployed in every corner of Hope City had already responded in time. For a while, countless anti-aircraft guns, like the fire whips of the god of death, hit the two giant beasts that fell from mid-air in an instant. It formed a huge fireball.

However, this violent attack did not have much effect.

The evolution of the eighth-level life is all-round. In addition to the powerful body, the application of energy has also reached a very high level. Almost every life has a protective force field. It may not have much effect on the opponents of the same level. It should be injured or injured, but for this kind of anti-aircraft shell, it is impossible to break through in a short time. It seems to be beaten into a ball of fire, but in fact it seems to be scratching the surface.

The size of this behemoth is astonishingly large.

The diameter of the blue dragon's body is about 20 meters, the length is about 1780 meters, and the weight is tens of thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons.

Not counting the wings that cover the sky and the sun, the giant bird stands seventy to eighty meters high. Of course, as a flying creature, it is undoubtedly lighter, but no matter how light it is, it still weighs three to four thousand tons.

The two tumbled and fell from a high altitude, as if two mountain peaks fell down.

With a loud "boom", a large chemical plant covering an area of ​​over a thousand acres in Hope City was reduced to ruins. At the same time, a violent explosion occurred, and the flames shot up into the sky. It is a pity that such an explosion obviously cannot completely kill the two terrifying creatures at both ends. Behemoth.

The next moment, the two giant beasts struggled to crawl out from the flames and thick smoke, and ran for their lives. The flames were greatly disturbed near them, jumping, twisting, and extinguished automatically as their bodies approached.

At this time, the two giant beasts had completely separated during the fall.

The serious injury made the giant bird not want to hunt this blue dragon anymore. Its feathers were completely vaporized in the intense light radiation of the hydrogen bomb, and even its skin became scorched black. There was a lot of pus and blood, like melted grease. It stopped dripping from its body, and its eyes were already cloudy, obviously completely blind.

And the blue dragon was not much better, even before the hydrogen bomb exploded, it was already injured, without the cover of the scales, its injuries were more serious and deeper, and even some internal organs were almost cooked.

If it were an ordinary creature, with such a serious injury, they might have already died, but they can still struggle to move, and as time goes by, their injuries are gradually improving.

There are energy crystal nuclei in the body of eighth-level life forms. As long as they do not suffer irreparable fatal injuries or directly destroy their brains, no matter how serious the injury is, they can slowly recover under the repair of active energy.

Because the incident happened so fast and too abruptly, the nearby factories didn't get notified in time, they just thought it was a sudden accident, some factories even spontaneously organized workers to carry out production rescue.

In just a few minutes, a large number of workers were already carrying buckets, fire extinguishers, and even pushing carts filled with sand, filling the streets.

Human nature is selfish, but sometimes it is great.

In the past two years, the reconstruction area has experienced countless pains and crises, but it has survived time and time again, not only because of the large number of sacrificed soldiers on the front line, or various advanced weapons. Moreover, they are ordinary people who work day and night regardless of gains and losses. People today are more united, disciplined, and conscious than before the end of the world.

It's a pity that what they are about to face is not a blazing flame, nor a reactor that may explode at any time, but two terrifying behemoths that have just survived the nuclear bomb.

The ground kept vibrating slightly in a rhythmic pattern, and accompanied by loud bangs of buildings collapsing from time to time, an indescribably terrifying atmosphere gradually spread out. The workers on the street walked more and more slowly.

An inexplicable sense of panic quietly filled his heart.

At the beginning, this kind of breath was still very weak. Although a group of workers felt that something was wrong, they still walked towards the factory where the accident happened. However, this breath soon became stronger and stronger, and everyone began to beat their hearts. , I just felt a burst of heart palpitations.

When a group of people passed a corner, everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks, with a "buzz", their minds went blank.

The factories in the end of the world basically have no walls. Following a reaction kettle over 100 meters high, it was knocked down by something and fell slowly, and the field of vision immediately opened up.

Everyone immediately saw that an unimaginably huge body was slowly passing through the factory buildings.

How thick is a blue dragon with a thickness of more than 20 meters? The average floor height is only three meters, and the height of a building with a height of more than 20 meters is seven or eight stories. In front of it, an ordinary six-level mutant beast can almost swallow it in one gulp. If it is dropped, even if it is a seventh-level mutant beast, it will look like two or three bites.

Even at this time, it is still two or three kilometers away, but it still gives people a great sense of oppression.

And, what's even more frightening is that it is meandering towards this side.

It has nothing to do with being bold or not. Humans have a natural sense of fear towards large creatures. This is determined by genetic screening for millions of years. The stupidity and boldness of daring to challenge this kind of creature has long been If you die on the way to prove yourself, you will never have the chance to leave your genes behind.

What's more, this is not an ordinary creature at all.

The seriously injured blue dragon seemed to be moving slowly, but it was just a human visual illusion of large objects. Its huge size determined that even if it was just "slowly" wriggling, its speed was still quite amazing.

In a few seconds when the crowd was stunned, it was already close to a kilometer away.

The crowd came back to their senses, and there was a commotion immediately. The factory that could turn around and run for its life at this time was already considered daring. However, more people were paralyzed and stiffened by this terrible breath, as if they were in a nightmare. Although they desperately wanted to escape in their hearts, their bodies did not obey orders at all.

When the distance between the two was only 500 meters, the terrifying aura had become real.

The air became restless, the magnetic field on the ground was violently disturbed, and even a high-voltage electric tower next to it had an arc flash and a short circuit occurred. Convulsions occurred naturally, and some workers were even frightened to death.

...

Hope City's guard division headquarters also felt dizzy after receiving the call, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

This is something that has never happened before. It actually allowed eighth-level beings to enter Hope City, and two of them came. Fortunately, these two eighth-level beings were seriously injured.

Hope City is no different than an ordinary city. It is an important industrial center and a rocket launch base in the reconstruction area. Therefore, the defense force deployed here is also quite strong, not to mention all kinds of ordinary conventional weapons.

There are more than 20 electromagnetic guns newly developed since the end of the world, and there is also a nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun tank for mobile use.

However, the urban space is complex, and there are a large number of buildings covering it. Apart from the bombardment without fear of loss, otherwise these kinetic energy weapons fixed on the city wall and whose ballistic trajectory is almost a straight line are almost difficult to do.

The only thing that can be used is the nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun tank and many tanks and armored vehicles.

In the tense atmosphere, one after another combat orders were quickly issued, and the air defense alarm was immediately sounded over the city.

A large number of workers quickly evacuated the ground, and within fifteen minutes, the entire ground city was completely empty, and the workers on the basement level were also evacuated to the remaining floors.

At the same time, a large number of tanks, rocket artillery armored vehicles, including such nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun tanks, also quickly drove onto the streets.

This nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun tank is almost like a land cruiser. It is huge and occupies almost the entire four lanes. As it drives past, the concrete floor on the street shatters.

Hope City's actions are not unpleasant.

However, the recovery ability of the eighth-level life at the two ends is faster. At first, they could only move slowly, almost stumbling forward, but as time went by, the scorched black parts on their bodies began to fall off continuously. Fall off, revealing newly grown skin.

The injuries on their bodies are healing rapidly, and their movement speed is getting faster and faster, and their movements are becoming smoother.

Where the two giant beasts passed by, a large number of factory buildings collapsed one after another, and the machines were damaged. Some grounds could not even bear the terrible weight of the two giant beasts, and a large-scale collapse occurred. Tens of thousands of tons of huge stones and earthwork fell to the ground floor. .

Fortunately, most of the factories here have been evacuated, but not many deaths have been caused.

The giant bird was the first to encounter a tank unit because it was close to the barracks.

This is an assault force consisting of twelve tanks.

The battle started immediately, and more than a dozen artillery shells pierced the air regardless of the front and back, and flew towards the giant bird at high speed from hundreds of meters away.

It is completely blind, but it can instinctively feel the danger. With a very disproportionate agility of its huge body, it avoids all the shells, and then it screams violently at the position where the shells are flying. With a sound, the sound was passionate and sharp, with extremely terrifying penetrating power, a circle of substantial ripples appeared in the air, and a cloud of smoke and dust exploded wherever it passed.

More than a dozen tanks immediately lost control, some collided with each other, and some drove straight into the nearby factory, breaking through the wall like bullocks... and never came back. The soldiers in the tank cab were all killed in an instant.

The huge noise produced by the shell explosion nearby made this giant bird, which was already like a frightened bird, even more frightened and uneasy. It was an alien eighth-level life form, and it had no idea about humans and the reconstruction zone, but encountered one after another. , let it decide that it must leave this terrible area as soon as possible.

Its bare wings kept flapping, and it raised its head and let out a sharp cry one after another. Powerful power fluctuations slowly emanated from its body. Under the sun, a circle of brilliant halo seemed to appear around it.

It looks mysterious and shocking.

Gradually its body began to levitate, and it slowly flew towards the sky, but just a few meters away from the ground, a red electromagnetic cannon that was rubbed by the air arrived in an instant, bombarding its body heavily.

With a stern scream, it fell to the ground again. Its chest was bloody and bloody. A hole more than half a meter wide was pierced by the electromagnetic gun. A large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain. It was shaken by the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic gun and rolled over. After a few laps, he stood up in shock and anger.

The wounds on its body are naturally unbelievably large for humans, but compared to its huge body of seventy or eighty meters tall, it is only a minor injury. However, the intense pain in its body and the restlessness in its heart make it extremely manic.

It turned its head to look in the direction of the attack, and its ears clearly heard a huge noise that it had never heard before coming from far away.

It screamed angrily, and the next moment, two terrifying feet that were thirty meters high and five or six meters thick moved quickly towards the direction of the attack.

It is like a super bulldozer. Countless buildings blocked along the way were easily knocked down by it. The driver sitting in the nuclear-powered electromagnetic gun tank was instantly stunned. The barrel kept moving, but could not lock on such a high-speed target. .

And what's more serious is that the electromagnetic gun needs a lot of energy every time it is fired, and it has a storage time of several minutes, so it cannot continue to fire at high speed.

However, in less than a minute, the giant bird had already traveled three or four kilometers away, and a huge claw pressed heavily on the nuclear-powered tank.

As a giant bird that can grab tens of thousands of tons of blue dragons, its own strength is also quite terrifying. When it was hit with anger, only a piercing metal scream was heard. This huge monster with thick armor was completely dented. down.

This is not over yet, the giant bird may have regarded it as an ordinary opponent, and then, it was a forceful peck. The attack speed of this attack was faster than that of the electromagnetic gun, completely exceeding ten times the speed of sound.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the entire nuclear-powered tank was instantly torn apart, parts flying, and the soldiers inside were already dead.

...

Watching the monitoring screen, the guard division headquarters turned pale and dripped with cold sweat.

The commander of the guard division on the side held the microphone tightly with trembling hands: "...the two eighth-level mutant beasts are recovering rapidly, and the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Now our division has caused a lot of losses... Among them, the nuclear-powered tanks have also been destroyed... Need support here as soon as possible, or hope the city is over."

The commander of the guard division put down the phone, his lips still trembling slightly.

"What should the commander do now?" An officer asked anxiously beside him.

The division commander struggled for a while, walked back and forth a few steps, gritted his teeth and said, "All the turrets are launched immediately, and all the buildings that are blocking them are blasted away to make way for the trajectory of the electromagnetic gun."

"However, Hope City will lose a lot in this case." Someone hesitated.

"I can't control that much anymore. When the support force arrives, everything will be over."

...

On the other side, Hope City's sword team also rushed to the scene on the other side, but they couldn't even get close to the terrifying blue dragon. At a distance of hundreds of meters, people are paralyzed and have no courage.

A few team members hunkered down and hid under the corner of the wall, looking at the huge body quickly winding across the street from a distance, their faces turned pale.

"Captain, we are really going to kill it, I think...it's a bit difficult!" Xie Junhui said in a low voice, his voice trembling.

"That's right, such a creature is completely beyond our ability to deal with." Li Dong also said while beating his drums.

For snake-like creatures, Lin Feiyan, as a woman, is also full of fear, but as the captain, how could she retreat: "Wait a minute, let's observe and observe!"

After a while, the blue dragon gradually went away, the oppressive atmosphere gradually eased, and everyone felt relieved.

"It would be great if my master was here." Fang Peibin whispered.

"I heard that Boss Luo is already the deputy minister, that's amazing!" Xu Zhiqiang also said.

"It seems to be true. Several of my friends are at the Sword Headquarters. I heard that Brother Luo defeated Minister Ling. When I said that Brother Luo came out of our hope city team, many people couldn't believe it." Wu Qianru said , her eyes fluttered as she spoke, with a look of admiration on her face, she used to be a reserve member of the Sharp Sword headquarters, and she was relatively well-informed.

Listening to everyone's whispers, Lin Feiyan's ears subconsciously pricked up in front of her, and she clenched her fists secretly. Now Luo Yuan has become her demon, although the other party has left Hope City's Sword Department, and now the entire department, she has already The power is in his hands, but the imprint left by Luo Yuan is still deeply here.

Looking at the terrifying giant beast that was almost invisible, Lin Feiyan wanted to rush over to prove herself, but her limp legs seemed to take root, allowing her to stay in this corner.

At this time, she subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky, and suddenly found a small dot falling from the sky in an instant. Its moving speed was unimaginable. Even if she was in an infinite distance, the naked eye could not capture this small dot, and then it disappeared in a flash. , and disappeared from her sight.

"What's this?"
