Chapter 58 The Beast Tide Surges, the Carnage Begins!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the first shot rang out, the entire steel base seemed to awaken a colossal beast and let out a deafening roar.
The barrage of rockets and howitzers set the sky ablaze, and the entire sea was engulfed in flames under the onslaught of firepower.
Qin Ming, Jia Yi, Li Dawei, and a group of others rushed to the base command center.
In the command hall, which covers several thousand square meters, a three-dimensional virtual projection simulates the battle scene of the entire battlefield, while a large number of officers sit below, directing and guiding various artillery and missile attacks in the base.
Through satellite and base reconnaissance systems, the entire battlefield was clearly displayed before Qin Ming.
Even with a population of over ten thousand, it is still a sea of people.
Imagine the horror of a monster horde of hundreds of millions of enormous creatures gathering together.
A completely dark mass!
The sea area stretching from the depths of the ocean to the war base, spanning hundreds of miles, was almost entirely occupied by monsters.
The waves were surging.
Both on the surface of the sea and on the seabed, there are countless monsters.
As countless monsters marched in the same direction, they created towering waves, making the entire ocean seem to roar.
Just looking at the virtual projection made Qin Ming feel suffocated.
That's amazing.
The war base does not have only one projection screen. In addition to the main screen showing the entire beast tide, there are also a large number of secondary screens.
These secondary screens clearly project the hideous appearances of various monsters: arthropods, reptiles, coelenterates, echinoderms, and the most numerous fish monsters!
There are just too many!
"Is this what a Level 1 beast tide is? Compared to this, the impact of sea monsters on the daily operations of the war base is nothing but a drop in the ocean."
Qin Ming murmured to himself.
A dense swarm of various sea monsters surged toward the war base from the depths of the ocean, while the firepower projected from the war base exploded wildly on the sea surface.
The dense barrage of bullets turned the sea into a sea of fire, killing hundreds of thousands of monsters. Limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere, and blood stained dozens of miles of sea red.
But this was nothing compared to the overall beast tide. The overwhelming sea monsters roared and advanced amidst the bombardment.
The stimulation of blood even made the entire beast tide go berserk.
Moreover, no matter how fierce the artillery attack was, it only killed some of the monsters on the surface of the sea. In the depths of the ocean, large numbers of crabs, shrimps and other monsters moved rapidly along the seabed and were completely unaffected by the artillery.
In a very short time, a large number of monsters broke through the outermost artillery blockade and rushed into the water.
Compared to the massive ocean tides, the Huangpu River is far too narrow.
Too many monsters cannot be allowed to attack at the same time.
Because there were so many monsters, and more were coming, all of them were clashing closely together, creating an astonishing density.
This area is also a key target for military artillery bombardment.
Then a terrifying scene unfolded.
There was no need to aim; the scorching cannon fire shattered countless monster corpses, which, despite the onslaught of monsters behind them, continued to surge forward.
The river was even blocked by corpses because so many monsters died in a short period of time.
It was like a mountain of corpses, constantly advancing towards the base.
Furthermore, large numbers of amphibious marine monsters, including crabs, shrimps, and turtles, crawled ashore from the river and surrounded the war base from all directions.
They quickly advanced to within very close range of the war base.
In an instant, countless tongues of fire erupted from the entire war base as a large number of close-in weapon systems, sentry machine guns, and other firepower opened fire.
Located in the command hall, Qin Ming saw gunfire erupting from each of the bunkers.
His first time on the battlefield was from a bunker like this, where he operated a sniper rifle.
The war escalated to a fever pitch immediately.
"Hold on! This is just a probing attack from the monsters, cannon fodder used to wear down our firepower. The lord-level monsters haven't even made a move yet."
Li Dawei, standing to the side, looked at Qin Ming, whose face was flushed and who was already excited, and said solemnly.
He had guarded the sea monsters for ten years and had seen similar attacks far too many times.
"It's not time for you to make your move yet. There are too many sea monsters, and even the physical strength and mental power of a War God are limited. Your role is to wait until those Lord-level monsters are deployed."
This time we are much better prepared, and with the 18 Lord-level monsters you provided guarding the dangerous areas, it's much better than before.
Qin Ming nodded slightly; he had also seen the figures of the 18 lord-level monsters in the video footage.
These lord-level flesh golems were armed to the teeth and placed in positions most vulnerable to attacks from powerful monsters.
This was something Qin Ming specifically requested.
Once the flesh puppet dies, it's dead; we can just catch another one.
The loss of humanity's war god would be immense.
"It's a pity that time was too rushed, otherwise we could have captured more Lord-level monsters. The quality of these Lord-level monsters is still a bit lacking."
Qin Ming said with some regret.
During these days of training, the flesh and blood crystals formed by the three king-level monsters have been completely absorbed, and his punching power has reached an astonishing 72t!
The martial artist's strength has officially entered the level of a beginner-level War God.
With an 8.1x burst, it exceeded 580 tons!
This is already much higher than the basic punching power of a high-level war god, belonging to the standard level of an invincible war god.
As for mental power, it goes without saying that its combat strength is so great that it can be described as rampaging among those below the King level.
We could easily capture a group of high-ranking lords.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.
"That's enough! With these fearless lord-level monsters, our casualties will be much lower."
Jia Yi also spoke up.
"Well, you guys stay here and take command when the time is right. I'll go outside and check things out first."
I don't need to worry about the physical or mental strain; I'll just go up and fight my way through first!
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes.
In the 3D projection, the monster at the forefront has already begun its counterattack.
The methods of sea monsters are far more bizarre than those of land monsters.
Many of them possess ranged attack capabilities, such as electric discharge, venom spray, spikes, etc., making it unsafe even to hide in a base fortress.
He saw that the bunkers' firing positions had weakened, and soldiers were being wounded or even killed.
"Go if you want!"
Jia Yi looked at the virtual screen and said in a deep voice.
He could easily guess Qin Ming's thoughts, and he would never dampen the enthusiasm in Qin Ming's heart.
It is a blessing for China to have such passionate young people!
He has also been consuming large amounts of flesh essence these days, knowing that flesh essence has the effect of restoring physical strength.
He was also very clear about Qin Ming's strength.
With the Black God Armor, even a King-level monster cannot kill him.
Once approved, Qin Ming floated into the air, transforming into a streak of light as he flew out of the command hall and then soared into the sky.
Standing in the void, Qin Ming looked down at the seemingly endless sea monsters in the distance, his eyes revealing a cold killing intent.
With the Broken Army Halberd in hand, souls shrieked and surged out from within the Myriad Soul Banner, while dozens of flying knives swam around him like fish.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Qin Ming felt his blood boiling.
The Black God Suit swiftly transformed into a full-coverage battle armor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, before swooping down.
The slaughter has begun!
