Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1588: Utterly Defenseless
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
Within the silver-armored being's palm, the blood continued to accumulate, compressed into a small, pearl-like sphere.
He strode casually across the towering city wall, taking his time, strolling through what might as well have been playful hail of gunfire.
In his eyes, not a single human warrior existed.
Ordinary humans, Transcendents, even Deputy Captain-level beings with ability indices exceeding 9,000 points - none of them mattered.
Wherever he walked, those bodies burst apart without exception, dissolving into threads of blood.
Because of the massive casualties among human warriors, the crimson threads of blood wove together into a glaring net in midair, before slowly merging into the blood-red pearl within his palm.
"Doo!"
...
Within East Sea City, the piercing alarm blared urgently.
Only then did everyone realize that enemies had broken through!But the vast majority of people were confused at first.
East Sea City was one of the most militarily powerful cities in the Huaxu Nation. Even in the three years since the apocalypse, no one had ever managed to fight their way here.
They had grown accustomed to peace. Though military exercises occurred regularly, never once had the alarm sounded as urgently as it did today.
"What on earth is happening?"
"Could this be a late-night drill?"
"No, this is no drill."
Ordinary people hid inside their homes, crawling to their windows to gaze at the sky outside, seeing only the relentless flashes of artillery fire in the distance.
There was nothing they could do, only silently pray in their hearts that the crisis would pass soon.
But throughout the entire city, the military was in a frenzy!
Various weapons systems were being mobilized, and massive numbers of troops assembled overnight, rushing toward the southeastern city walls.
They would not allow anyone to violate East Sea City. They would wipe out every last invader!
But at this moment, atop the city walls, the human soldiers were suffering a complete rout!
Before the silver-armored being who descended like a god, no one could hold him off for even an instant!
The human soldiers were nearly driven to despair. He seemed to carry some kind of curse upon him, capable of taking lives with effortless ease.
"Rumble!"
An armed aircraft flew in, its cabin door opening to reveal the face of a young man in a white combat suit.
The moment they saw him, every soldier couldn't help but cheer with joy!
Because the one who had arrived was none other than [Baihu], one of the Four Spirits of East Sea City!
Baihu stared down at the scene below, seeing the ground littered with horrifically mutilated corpses and those bizarre creatures in strange armor with long tails, and his brow furrowed deeply.
"Those who violate East Sea City shall die!"
The moment he finished speaking, he leaped down like a cannonball.
His hands pressed together in midair, a surge of powerful supernatural power gathering in his palms, condensing into a massive silver orb of light that blasted directly toward the silver-armored being!
The silver-armored being slowly raised his head and glanced at him.
"Pfft!"
Baihu, upon whom everyone had placed their hopes, was still in midair, hadn't even landed, when his body exploded into fragments.
Every soldier, no matter how steadfast their faith in East Sea City had once been, felt their hearts nearly shatter at that moment.
That was East Sea City's top-tier combat strength! A formidable existence with an ability index of 9,700 points!
And he was killed instantly with just a single look from the enemy?
The silver-armored being seemed somewhat bored. A muffled sound rumbled from his throat once more, words in a language no one understood.
"Destroy this place."
After speaking, his eyes suddenly flickered with waves of blue light. Those eyes were strange, as if crafted from some transparent material.
As the blue light flickered, his gaze swept across his surroundings, as if searching for something.
A moment later, he manipulated the blood beneath his feet into a vast river of gore, carrying him toward the northwest of East Sea City.
After the silver-armored being departed, the Black-and-White Armor raised that oddly shaped weapon resembling a sword, and slashed viciously forward.
Beneath the city walls where they stood, human soldiers had gathered as densely as ants.
Among them were no shortage of powerful Transcendents. In the distant sky, missiles locked onto them one after another, delivering precision bombardment with no blind spots.
"Kill them all."
The Black-and-White Armor issued only this simple command.
The Cyan Armor warriors behind them instantly grew excited upon receiving the order, scattering in all directions like flowers strewn from heaven.
Some soared into the air, shredding armed aircraft with their razor-sharp claws.
Others plunged into the masses of human soldiers on the ground, drawing out twin sword-like weapons and beginning to slaughter as easily as chopping vegetables.
These Transcendent warriors each possessed unique abilities.
But the majority of the Cyan Armor warriors chose the same method of slaughter.
Behind them hung a bulky object, seemingly a tactical backpack worn on the back, though made of far harder material.
They pressed a button on the side of the pack, and a white, nearly transparent tube popped out.
They took the tube in hand and aimed it at the soldiers surging toward them.
Without any visible trigger pull, a pale red beam shot from the end of the white tube.
Wherever the beam passed, silently, the bodies of over a dozen human warriors - bodies fully encased in combat suits - were melted straight through with gaping holes!
The entire East Sea City had descended into chaos. Li Guangxiao's guards no longer dared to stop the high-ranking military officers who had come to find him.
Li Guangxiao hurriedly got up, rushing to the command center in nothing but his pajamas.
Watching the surveillance feeds of those bizarre Transcendents with their heaven-defying combat prowess, his brow furrowed almost into a knot.
"These things, where in the world did they come from? The entire world has never heard of such a force! Could they be a secret unit cultivated by Colombia?"
Someone immediately spoke up: "It's not them! These things came from Star Island. Just today, both our patrol vessels and Colombia's warships were all destroyed by them!"
Li Guangxiao's eyes flew wide open, making his cyan pupils appear even smaller.
"You're saying... the underground creatures beneath Star Island? They've appeared!"
Li Guangxiao waved his hand grandly: "Quick, notify Xuanwu and Qinglong immediately! The only ones who can deal with these underground creatures now are them!"
There was no need for Li Guangxiao to say anything more. Qinglong and Zhuque were already en route to provide support.
As for Xuanwu, restricted by his massive frame, he could only approach the coastal waters near East Sea City, surfacing his colossal form.
"The mysterious creatures of the Mist Valley on Star Island... has the Gatekeeper of the Underworld come as well?"
Xuanwu's eyes stared fixedly at East Sea City. The thought of that terrifying monster from before weighed heavily on his heart.
If he were there too... then could he, alone, resolve today's crisis?
