Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1608: City Defense Sniping

After the battle between Zhang Yi and the Sky Dragon King, he realized the limitations of modern technology against Transcendents.

They didn't take planes or ships, radar had no effect on them, and satellites couldn't possibly lock onto a tiny individual figure from the vast expanse of the ocean.

So, that ancient invention, the camera, was actually the most useful tool.

With the analytical power of the intelligent system, any suspicious target that appeared would trigger an immediate alarm for Zhang Yi.

Especially today, Zhang Yi had already received notice from Zhu Zheng.

The enemy had first headed to the East Sea Major Region, which gave Zhang Yi some preparation time.

He woke up everyone in the household and assigned them to carry out their work according to the pre-arranged plan.

Then, he went alone to the highest level of the shelter.

By now, the shelter had been completely transformed into something entirely different.

Using Barrier Stones combined with metal, she had created a new type of defensive bulwark that could effectively block attacks from Transcendents.

Even an Epsilon-class Transcendent would have to expend considerable effort to break through this layer of defense.

Within the bulwark, there were multiple layers of defensive installations. Any intruder would taste the builder's malicious ingenuity.

Zhang Yi went directly to the top of the fortress. It was over fifty meters high here, and the wind at night was somewhat blustery.

Zhang Yi's position was a platform. Using his communication device, he linked up with Lu Keran.

"The enemy has appeared within 300 li of the waters surrounding Tianshui City. Prepare to attack!"

"Got it, big brother! Activating the city defense sniper!"

Lu Keran began operating from the control room below.

Before long, a square opening appeared on the platform in front of Zhang Yi, and from below, a colossal mechanical monster slowly rose up.

It was a bizarre cannon, extending upward from below, over ten meters long, but the barrel wasn't thick like an ordinary cannon. Its caliber was only around 130mm.

But when the entire barrel had fully extended from below, one would be astonished to discover that it was actually shaped like a sniper rifle!

A super city defense sniper rifle fifteen meters long, nearly ten times larger than Zhang Yi himself!

Its lower half was completely connected to the fortress, and the trigger was comparable to Zhang Yi's palm, even a bit bigger.

There was no magazine. Instead, a massive spirit stone energy cell was connected below.

Zhang Yi had once pondered a question.

His ability [Precision Shot] was a spatial-type ability. It could lock onto enemies directly, requiring no aiming and suffering no deviation in firing angle.

But normally, he used pistols and sniper rifles. Even with the boost from his ability, the maximum range was only 5 kilometers.

So, what if he used an even more powerful weapon?

To that end, he kept having Lu Keran improve his weapons.

Using more powerful bullets, making [Thunderstrike] even bigger, extending its range and increasing its power.

But personal combat weapons were ultimately limited by weight and size.

So, what about a fixed city defense weapon, powered by the latest spirit stone energy charging as its attack method, using satellite locking for ultra-long-range targeting, and combined with Zhang Yi's ability? What kind of effect would that produce?

Zhang Yi sat in the driver's seat of the city defense sniper, his eyes peering into the distance through the scope, his right hand resting on the trigger.

By now, the Mist Valley force was only two hundred li from the Tianshui City coastline, and the outposts Zhang Yi had set up in advance along the way had already detected their position.

This simplified version of the Skynet system roughly confirmed the enemy's location, then used the Jiangnan Region's [Nebula] satellite system for precise targeting.

Finally, Zhang Yi was able to completely lock onto the enemy's position through the city defense sniper.

"Two hundred li away, taking out their warrior with one shot? This is my first time trying this!"

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, then activated his ability. The enemy in his field of vision gradually enlarged.

It was a fast-moving unit, led by a humanoid creature clad in silver armor, with two Black-and-White Armor deputies behind him.

The three led the charge, followed by over a hundred Azure Armor warriors in the rear.

According to the intelligence Zhang Yi had obtained from Blizzard City, the warriors of this mysterious Mist Valley civilization operated under a strict hierarchy.

Silver Armor was the commanding general of the unit, with strength generally above the Black Chariot level.

The Black-White Commanders possessed strength that was quite outstanding even among the White Chariot tier.

As for those Azure Armor warriors, they possessed squad-leader-level combat power of over 9,000 points, some even approaching Epsilon-class levels.

Such a terrifying force, if they weren't attacking Huaxu Nation, could easily flatten almost any medium-sized nation in the world.

If Zhang Yi hadn't prepared in advance, and if other regions hadn't been attacked before, providing some intelligence data, Tianshui City would have faced a catastrophic disaster if it were suddenly attacked!

"But now, what you're facing is the most steady man in the world! The situation is different now."

As Zhang Yi spoke, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

The power of time in his left eye activated, [Tracking of All Things] locking onto the enemy's movement trajectory for the next two seconds. The power of space in his right eye drew in the pitch-black, terrifying dark power from the void!

Behind him, a massive black vortex rapidly materialized, from which viscous black power flowed out, seeping along his arm into the energy cell of the city defense sniper.

Charging complete.

Firing sequence ready.

Zhang Yi didn't hesitate. He decisively pulled the trigger!

But the first shot's target wasn't the Silver Armor at the front of the formation. It was one of the Black-White Commanders at his side!

Even with a weapon of this city-defense-level destructive power, one-shotting a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent in a single strike would be incredibly difficult.

But right now, the biggest mismatch between Tianshui City and the enemy wasn't at the top-tier combat level. It was at the mid and lower tiers!

Zhang Yi could fight the Silver Armor, but the enemy still had two Epsilon-class fighters, plus over a hundred squad-leader-level Transcendents!

Those guys would be extremely difficult for the rest of Tianshui City to handle.

And those were the greatest hidden threats Zhang Yi needed to deal with.

The city defense sniper let out an ear-splitting roar, firing a black line that pierced through space from the top of the spherical fortress hundreds of meters high, heading toward the ocean two hundred li away!

At first, that line was extremely thin, like a steel wire. That was a sign of highly condensed power, indicating that the energy wasn't dispersed, allowing for maximum lethality!

An instant later, it crossed the land of Tianshui City and the ocean ahead, arriving before the Mist Valley force!

The Silver Armor was speeding along when suddenly his body froze mid-air. A tremendously powerful force was approaching rapidly, and his body instinctively slowed its movements.

A black dot suddenly appeared in his pupils. His right arm shot out, and a white lightning bolt condensed in his palm, ready to intercept this attack!

But to his surprise, this attack brushed past him, flying straight toward one of the Black-White Commanders several hundred meters away!
