Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1652: Attacking Shengjing

After obtaining the approval of Meng Yuanjun and Guan Longyue, Shang Daowen did not hesitate at all. He immediately left the Earth God Temple, took a group of elites, departed from Shengjing City, and headed straight for Wuyou Valley.

Under the cover of night, several fighter jets flew away from the sky above Shengjing City.

On the vast snowy plains, atop a low mountain peak, two figures, one fat and one thin, stood casually, lifting their heads to gaze up at the sky.

They wore extremely casual clothing. The thin man even had a black knit cap on his head, and his thick dark circles looked like deliberately applied smoky makeup, but paired with his ghostly pale complexion, he looked like a corpse that had just crawled out of a morgue.

The fat man was tall and broad, completely bald, his face covered in so much fat that it obscured his expression, making him appear dull and rigid, yet his emotionless eyes gave off a feeling of extreme cruelty.

The thin man raised his head, watching the fighter jets depart, then slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Very good. The people from Shengjing City really were lured away by us! Now, I imagine their home base must be extremely empty!"

That's right. Their goal this time was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, an open and aboveboard scheme.

But they also knew just how important Zhen Yuanzi was to the Shengjing district.

After all, for human factions, the value of a single Epsilon-class was unimaginable.

Not just the current strategic value, but the future growth potential as well.

The goal of the thin man and the fat man was to draw away Shengjing City's highest-tier combat power, and then, taking advantage of Shengjing City's internal emptiness, launch a direct assault!

To capture the bandits, first capture their leader.

As long as they could destroy Shengjing, the current command hub of Huaxu Nation, they could reduce this enormous nation to a pile of loose sand.

Of course, if they could take this opportunity to kill one or two of Huaxu Nation's top combat powers, that would be even better!

The fat man lowered his head and glanced at the thin man, then said coldly, "Youying, this could equally be a trap. They might abandon rescuing their comrade and set an ambush for us instead."

The thin man curled his lips into an exaggerated grin, his eyes full of madness.

He rubbed his fingers together. "I admit there's an element of gambling in this."

"But based on our current assessment of the Shengjing district's strength, even if both Houtu and Ksitigarbha King are present, it won't be difficult for the two of us to escape!"

"After all, that one who's hailed as Huaxu Nation's number one combat power is a special-ability Transcendent who has difficulty leaving Shengjing City."

A cold killing intent flashed through his eyes. "If we could take the chance to kill her, that would be a huge gain!"

The fat man nodded. "That makes sense."

The thin man's smile grew ever more ferocious, his laughter accompanying the howling north wind, carrying far into the distance.

Shortly after Shang Daowen led a squad of Transcendents to Wuyou Valley, outside Shengjing City's southern gate, beyond that wall even taller and more imposing than the Great Wall, a bizarre phenomenon darker than the night itself was born.

The soldiers guarding Shengjing City patrolled the corridors with guns in hand when they suddenly discovered a substance of extreme darkness appearing on the distant horizon.

One soldier sharply turned his head, and saw that on the distant horizon, along the edge of the land stretching for dozens of kilometers, black tentacles were rising one after another.

Like giant black octopuses crawling out from a black tide, so excessively dark that a single glance gave the feeling of one's very soul being devoured.

The enormous black tide slowly surged upward, like a massive dark curtain stretching endlessly, then rapidly invaded toward the colossal walls of Shengjing City!

"Woo!"

A shrill alarm immediately sounded. Shengjing City's defense system had detected the anomaly here at the very first moment.

"What is that thing?"

"Mobilize the troops! Assemble at Defense Wall Number 13!"

The Dragon's Roar Guard rapidly assembled. At this moment, the officers among the troops were all tense, and the news reached Meng Yuanjun's ears at the very first moment.

Because at this moment, Shengjing City was more empty than it had ever been in history, so when Shang Daowen left, a full city-wide lockdown had been implemented.

Meng Yuanjun abruptly stood up from behind his desk, his gaze terribly cold. He murmured, "Chaos's warning has come true!"

He should have thought of it long ago.

If Mist Valley on Star Island was truly going to launch an all-out war against Huaxu Nation, then since they could have planted a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent as a pawn in Tianshui City, how could they possibly not have made arrangements in Shengjing, the core region of Huaxu Nation?

In the previous battle, they had only refrained from acting due to special reasons, but that didn't mean there were no arrangements.

And now, Shang Daowen had gone far away, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits had followed Zhang Yi to Jiangnan. Shengjing City had almost become an empty shell.

Meng Yuanjun slammed the table hard and shouted at all the officers before him, "At all costs, hold off the invading enemy for me!"

One of the officers below had gone somewhat pale from tension.

"Commander, you should evacuate immediately! Because they might be coming for you!"

Hearing this, Meng Yuanjun laughed instead.

"If they really are coming for me, then that would be good!"

"Killing me, Meng Yuanjun, won't destroy Shengjing City. Many people can sit in the position of Supreme Commander."

"But," his gaze sharpened, "their true target, the core they truly fear and want to destroy, should be Houtu!"

Meng Yuanjun waved his hand forcefully. "Don't worry about me! Don't worry about anyone here either. Concentrate all forces and protect the Earth God Temple! Absolutely, under no circumstances can anything happen to Houtu!"

Even if he died in battle, Qin Qigong in Ning City could return and take control of the situation once more.

Hearing this, his subordinates immediately understood everything.

"Yes!"

They too were veteran officers. They immediately returned to their respective posts and began commanding Shengjing City's entire city defense force and the Dragon's Roar Guard to resist the external enemy!

"Sky Rail No. 2, No. 5, No. 8, all restrictions lifted! Space-based weapons on standby at any moment, prepare to lock onto the enemy!"

"Love of Death launch bay, open!"

"Dragon's Roar Guard First, Third, and Ninth units, withdraw from the front line, assemble at the Earth God Temple! No matter what happens outside, you are not permitted to leave!"

"Defending the Earth God Temple to the death is your sole mission!"

...

The entire Shengjing City was now brilliantly lit, like broad daylight, a full mobilization!

Within the Earth God Temple, Guan Longyue raised her head as if sensing something, her dark eyes seemingly piercing through layer upon layer of gauze and the walls of the Earth God Temple, looking toward the distant enemy.

Outside Shengjing City, darkness encroached.

From out of the boundless gloom, a hundred-meter-tall humanoid existence walked out, its two feet heavily stepping onto the snow.

Similar existences emerged one after another. Their height even exceeded the human city walls, fully a hundred dark giants slowly yet steadily advancing toward the walls.
