Free Web NovelChapter 487: Chapter 480: Team Wipe
"Viper team! Viper team! What the hell have you discovered?!"
The leader grabbed the walkie-talkie at his hip and bellowed at the flight crew.
"It’s the enemy! He’s too fast! Bullets are bouncing off him like rubber off steel! Is that even a human body?!!"
"Damn it, he’s getting close! Pull up! Pull up!"
"..."
The walkie-talkie crackled with the flight crew’s chaotic, panicked shouts. Then, all the armed personnel outside the hospital watched as, from a spot obscured by rubble in the distance, a brilliant beam of starlight shot skyward. It was like a giant blade, hundreds of meters long, slicing horizontally past the helicopter.
The massive beam of light didn’t destroy anything physical. Instead, the immense magnetic field it contained instantly fried the signals of all the helicopter’s equipment and obliterated the flight crew’s Life Magnetic Fields, killing them in an instant.
WHIRRRR!!
With its instruments dead and its pilots gone, the helicopter wobbled in the sky. It lost all balance and plummeted toward the ground.
BOOM!!!
The helicopter slammed into the ground. Its fuel tank ignited from the violent impact and exploded, sending a massive fireball into the air. It looked like a giant firework, a truly shocking sight.
The firelight cast a red glow upon the faces of the people inside the hospital, revealing their expressions of pure elation.
"It’s one of ours! A Warrior from Donghua!!"
"We’ve won!! We’ve won!!"
"We’re going to be saved! We’re going to be saved!!"
A wave of suppressed cheers and sobs swept through the crowd. Tears streamed down some of their faces, as if a great weight had finally been lifted from their hearts.
"We’re not completely safe yet. There are still large contingents of armed forces out there, and they have advanced weapons."
Just as excitement peaked, someone’s sudden, cold remark quickly doused the crowd’s spirits.
’That’s right... we’re still hostages. If these hostiles are pushed into a corner, who knows what crazy things they might do?’
As countless eyes watched, a brilliantly shining figure vaulted over a pile of rubble and finally came into view.
The setting sun, low in the sky, cast long shadows from the massive ruins. Amidst those giant shadows, the figure appeared both minuscule and magnificent.
A Warrior of Donghua!
A hero, venturing alone into the enemy’s lair!
Now, he would face an army equipped with the most advanced modern weaponry in open combat!
"All units, prepare!! All units, prepare!!"
"Level 1 combat alert!! Level 1 combat alert!!"
"All high-yield, heavy, long-range armaments! Don’t spare any ammo! Aim at that target and give him everything you’ve got!!"
"No matter how strong he is, he’s still human, and if he’s human, he has limits!!"
"I want him utterly reduced to ash in this torrent of steel!!"
The leader growled the orders into his walkie-talkie, his voice low and furious.
At this very moment, he couldn’t quite identify the feeling in his own heart.
Was it fear? Or perhaps excitement?
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!
At the leader’s command, the entire corps sprang into action. The ground trembled as the cannons of heavy tanks swiveled, aiming at the slowly approaching figure in the distance.
Meanwhile, soldiers readied their weapons: man-portable rocket launchers, anti-materiel high-caliber grenade launchers, sniper rifles, mobile anti-air rocket platforms, medium-to-long-range mortars—a whole arsenal of the most advanced, high-powered weaponry supplied by the Starry Sky Country. All of them were aimed squarely at Zhou Yuanjue.
GULP! GULP!!
Most of the people in the hospital had been born and lived in times of peace. They had never witnessed such a display of military might. The sight of these terrifying killing machines ignited their innate fear of modern weaponry, and the confidence they had just gained began to waver.
’Can he really withstand all that?’
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
The tank cannons fired first. Three of them unleashed a continuous barrage, their shells screaming toward the approaching figure amidst deafening noise, smoke trails, and dazzling muzzle flashes.
The three tanks perfectly executed the leader’s command, holding nothing back. They emptied their entire ammunition stores at once. The powerful recoil kicked up clouds of dust, and their main cannons glowed red-hot like branding irons.
The target area was wreathed in smoke. Then, the smoke slowly parted from the center. A shimmering, radiant figure emerged from the billowing clouds, its pace utterly unchanged.
Completely unscathed!
’This is...’
In that instant, the hair on everyone’s arms stood on end. They couldn’t believe their eyes.
"All armaments, open fire at once!!"
A bone-chilling coldness flashed deep within the leader’s eyes as he roared the command.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Instantly, every weapon unleashed its payload on the figure without reservation. The earth shuddered from the massive recoil as if in the throes of an earthquake. The air filled with the acrid smell of cordite, and the deafening roar temporarily stole the hearing of everyone in the hospital.
It was a profoundly staggering sight: countless destructive heavy weapons, representing the pinnacle of power humanity now wielded—the very tools used to conquer nature—all aimed unsparingly at a single target. And that target was merely a single, seemingly insignificant "man."
An era had been overturned.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
A continuous, insane barrage of explosions thundered. Inside the hospital, everyone instinctively crouched in terror, covering their ears and gasping with their mouths open to relieve the pressure on their eardrums.
Until the explosions gradually subsided.
The first people to recover immediately stood up and looked outside.
The ground, subjected to a carpet bombing, was a pockmarked wasteland of deep craters. And amidst this devastation, a figure shimmering with starlight continued its slow advance, a stark contrast to its surroundings.
"He’s not human!! He’s not human!! It’s impossible for a human to have such Power!"
"Demon!! Demon!!"
"..."
Witnessing this sight, the first to break were the soldiers. At that moment, it was as if their Spiritual Pillar had shattered; they completely lost the will to fight.
"Damn it!! Damn it!! Damn it!!"
The leader’s body trembled, but he gritted his teeth and grabbed a megaphone from beside him. He had prepared for this contingency.
"Stop right there!! I’ve planted high explosives all over this hospital! As long as I press this button, everything here will be turned to dust!!"
"If you want to save the hostages in this hospital, you’ll stop right where you are!! Stand still and let us leave safely!!"
The leader roared at Zhou Yuanjue.
"Unfortunately for you, you’re already within range."
Zhou Yuanjue said calmly, slowly raising one hand.
Within him, his Life Magnetic Field collapsed, and Infinite Starry Sky activated.
His Magnetic Field Ability instantly expanded to a terrifying new level.
HUMMM!!
A vast, two-toned magnetic field of silver and red rapidly expanded, covering a distance of one hundred and fifty meters.
The field expanded too quickly, giving the leader no time to react, let alone press the button.
The next moment, the eyes of every soldier in the entire force rolled back into their heads. Their Life Magnetic Fields were instantly shattered within Zhou Yuanjue’s magnetic Domain, and all Vitality was extinguished.
Before his magnetic field, now pushed to its absolute limit, ordinary people had no Power to resist.
Instant annihilation.
