Chapter 180 The Traitor and the Beast Tide!
Chapter 180 The Traitor and the Beast Tide!
Su Chen instantly identified the sender of the comment.
This is a reborn person he had never noticed before!
This guy has always been like a venomous snake, lurking within the alliance.
He used his deep understanding of the behavioral patterns of mutated beasts that he had accumulated during the apocalypse.
Secretly, little by little, they guided the movement of these deep-sea behemoths.
His only goal was to seize this crucial moment in the summit.
Create a massive upheaval and destroy the newly established authority of the alliance.
Then he can take advantage of the chaos and profit from the misfortune.
What a great move!
Su Chen took a slow breath, and his brain made two simultaneous decisions in a fraction of a second.
First, he looked at Elder Long and Zhao Gang, whose expression was equally solemn.
He commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Elder Long, Mr. Zhao! I need the two of you to jointly command all the base's defensive forces to fight against the mutated beast horde!"
"All alien technology weapons are now open for use!"
This is both an imminent real-world test and a "test" for Zhao Gang.
He wanted Zhao Gang to witness firsthand how humanity unites.
And with more advanced weapons, what immense power could they unleash?
Second, he closed his eyes, activated the "Heart of the Prophet," and began to trace the source of the soul information of that bullet comment in reverse.
He wanted to personally drag out the venomous snake hiding inside the base!
"What? You want us to take joint command?"
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Su Chen to hand over part of the command to him.
"No time to explain! Execute the command!"
Su Chen's voice carried the unique majesty of a world ruler.
Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and glanced at the flood of messages on the screen.
The countless red dots finally roared, "Alright! I did it!"
Outside the East China Sea base, the battle broke out instantly.
Hundreds of strangely shaped, deep-sea mutant beasts, each the size of a small mountain, surged out of the churning seawater.
They launched a frenzied assault on the coastal defenses.
The leader of them was a giant octopus-like mutant beast, its size comparable to an aircraft carrier.
Its body surface is covered with a thick, crystal-like hard shell.
Countless thick tentacles, with each swing, can smash a huge crater in the ground.
It can also spray high-pressure water jets from its mouth, and the power of those water jets can even easily cut through the alloy armor of a tank.
This is a truly "disaster-level" mutant beast.
In the later stages of the apocalypse, he was capable of destroying a large city single-handedly.
"Fire!!"
The voices of Elder Long and Zhao Gang rang out simultaneously in the command channel.
In an instant, a barrage of cannon fire erupted.
The base's defense forces, under the command of two battle-hardened commanders, urgently engaged in battle.
The three awakened bodyguards that Zhao Gang brought also joined the battle without hesitation.
Soon, Zhao Gang was shocked to discover that the alien technology weapons that Su Chen had provided were things he had previously looked down upon.
On the battlefield, it displayed astonishing power.
An ordinary human soldier, equipped only with an energy rifle.
The firepower it can generate is comparable to that of a mid-apocalyptic B-level Awakener!
The energy turrets that were urgently deployed on the defensive line could clear a large area of open space in the beast horde with each shot.
This was the first time Zhao Gang had realized something so profoundly.
In many cases, the power of technology is far more decisive than individual bravery.
While the battle raged outside the base, Su Chen's figure had already vanished from the venue like a ghost.
He entrusted the entire battlefield to humanity's own army with complete confidence.
He himself, like a top-notch hunter, traversed the complex internal passages of the base, tracking the hidden reborn individual.
He used the bullet screen system to continuously read the other party's real-time thoughts.
[Damn it! Why are these mutated beasts advancing so slowly? Those alien weapons are much more powerful than I expected...]
[No, I can't wait any longer! I have to do it myself! While Su Chen and everyone else's attention is outside, I'll sneak into the venue and assassinate the leaders of several factions! Then I'll frame those Wotan people for this! Hahaha, I'm a genius!]
Su Chen looked at the comment and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Trying to frame the Wotans?
Think beautifully.
The reborn person held an energy dagger that shimmered with a faint light.
Silently, like a ghost, it approached from behind a faction leader who was anxiously awaiting news of the battle in the meeting hall—
A calm voice, like a whisper from hell, rang in his ears.
"Where are you headed?"
The reborn person's entire body instantly stiffened.
He turned around abruptly and saw Su Chen's calm face and eyes that seemed to reflect the vast starry sky.
He knew he was finished.
But he still made a final struggle—he instantly activated his S-class ability "Optical Invisibility," and his entire body rapidly faded into the air as he tried to escape.
However, in the face of a "world ruler," his little tricks were as fragile as a thin veil.
Su Chen didn't even raise his hand, he just hummed softly.
The laws governing the entire space were distorted by it.
The invisibility status of the reborn individual was forcibly lifted.
It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping my body tightly, freezing me in place, unable to move an inch.
Su Chen carried him to the summit venue like a chick.
In front of everyone, he revealed his plot to summon a beast tide and attempt an assassination.
Meanwhile, the battle outside the base also came to an end.
With the coordinated efforts of the human forces, the mutated beast horde was successfully repelled.
The once invincible "disaster-level" deep-sea overlord was severely wounded and fled back to the deep sea after Zhao Gang, covered in blood, personally severed one of its most vital tentacles.
When Zhao Gang dragged his tired body back to the meeting room.
When he saw the mole who had been exposed on the spot, and the people who had almost been assassinated and were still shaken, he remained silent for a long, long time.
Finally, he walked up to Su Chen and extended his rough, large hand, covered in scars and blood.
"...I, Zhao Gang, have joined."
At this moment, humanity, torn apart by the apocalypse, finally took the most crucial first step toward reconciliation.
But Su Chen was not at all relaxed.
Because, just now, the distress message from within the "Abyss Reaper" appeared again in his bullet screen system.
Time is running out... The "Prophet" has already begun his operation... His first move is not a fleet invasion... but infiltration... He already has people by your side...
Su Chen's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
