Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 388: Retreating
After a moment, there was a thunderous and mighty tremor in the sky, and dozens of long dragons appeared in the heavens.
Many of the giants on the ground turned pale, especially the severely injured giants who couldn’t find cover in time and were completely exposed to the missile’s firepower.
Even though they desperately pulled their companions, trying to get them to help them escape, most of the giants chose to abandon the wounded. In the face of their own lives, everything else seemed insignificant.
Just like the surface humans, the underwater giants were also selfish. In fact, any living being, any individual, is inherently selfish.
Over a dozen missiles rained down, turning the area into a hell once again.
Roaring and rumbling, a vast expanse of earth was lifted, countless rocks were shattered and sent flying by the powerful impact, reaching several kilometers away. Dense and numerous, like raindrops, they hit countless giants.
The giants with strong strength were relatively fortunate, merely grunting as their flesh and skin were damaged, with, at most, a few broken bones.
For them, it was nothing. As for the slightly weaker giants, they were often not so lucky. Any giant hit by a missile had their bones shattered, with practically no chance of survival.
Some were even unluckier, their heads struck by flying rocks, their brain matter exploding instantly.
The already devastated land was once again severely battered. Many surviving giants were hit by missile attacks again, and the losses were immeasurable.
"Run! Back to our underwater world!" The four demigods shouted with reddened eyes. Many underwater giants were in a complete panic, jumping into the ocean frantically without caring about the fate of their companions.
After a moment, missiles continued to rain down.
"Damn you, surface humans! Just wait! We will return for sure! At that time, we will flatten your base, and your loved ones will die by our hands! You will atone for today’s actions! Wretched! Just wait! Until you’ve been completely annihilated, there will be no end to the grudge of the many heroic spirits underground!"
"Wait and see!"
The four demigods, looking into the distance, had their eyes burning with anger. Their charred faces were twisted, and they had lost their sanity, letting out earth-shattering roars!
In Dawn City, within the Lord’s mansion, Waldo had a faint cold smile on his lips, his gaze cold and unyielding as he watched the images sent by the unmanned aerial reconnaissance in the high sky.
In the images, the once sturdy and massive bases built by the giants had already been obliterated. There were craters on the ground, countless giants had been killed or maimed by the explosions.
The power of the missiles was nothing to be underestimated. Even demigods dared not face them head-on. One missile could bring disaster to thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
Furthermore, under Waldo’s command, more than two hundred short-range ballistic missiles were launched, stripping the earth’s surface of a layer of tens of meters in thickness. The power of the missiles was simply terrifying!
"Hahaha, they must be completely dumbfounded, and they probably don’t even know where these missiles came from. They’ve been hit and destroyed so effortlessly! The power of these missiles is truly terrifying, no matter how many of them come, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop! Hahaha, it’s so damn satisfying!"
"In this battle, the underwater giants must be completely terrified!"
The top figures of Dawn City were all watching this long-distance live broadcast. When they saw the images transmitted by the high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Their main emotion was joy. Before they had the missiles, they had been worried about the invasion of the underwater giants. Now, they hadn’t even seen a trace of these underwater giants, yet they had been wiped out.
There was no way not to be happy. The missiles were indeed formidable.
If they were used on any city, there would be hardly anyone who could resist them. If Waldo wanted to destroy any city outside of Dawn City, there would be no difficulty at all. With just one command, it could be done in an instant.
Without a doubt, Waldo was the ruler of all survivors in the world today. He was also the invincible god in the hearts of many survivors!
"Alright, the giants have been eliminated for the most part, and we’ve won this battle decisively!"
Waldo looked at the results of the battle, nodding in satisfaction.
"It’s thanks to our wise and martial lord that we completely crushed the enemy. Even though some of them managed to escape, the vast majority were killed by us!"
"Of course, it’s a big victory! As long as we guard this world passage, we can kill as many underwater giants as they have."
"That’s right, our biggest threat now is actually their god."
The others responded in agreement. However, when it came to discussing their god, they all hesitated for a moment. This was because they had previously learned from Lord Waldo that the god of the underwater giants had terrifying strength.
Even Waldo might not necessarily be a match for them. Moreover, there was not just one god in the underwater world; there were three incredibly powerful gods!
Even Waldo faced immense pressure from these three major gods. If they didn’t seek a breakthrough soon, even with city walls, Dawn City would be in great danger once the gods descended.
Waldo saw the change in the mood of the people and noticed their concerns. He smiled gently.
"There’s no need to worry too much. We have now gathered millions of survivors in Dawn City, and over the past few days, thanks to everyone’s efforts, I have obtained more than 300,000 evolution points!"
"With these survival points, I can directly upgrade the three abilities to level six, which is the highest level an ability can reach!"
"Believe me, when that time comes, what are those three major gods to us? Won’t they be easily in our grasp?"
Waldo said confidently. The people looked at Waldo with great joy.
"Really? That’s fantastic!"
"Our lord is invincible!"
Haha, as long as the gods of the underwater giants dare to come, our lord will make sure they have no way back!
The people were very excited. Their previous worries had eased considerably.
Do they still not believe Waldo’s words?
Then Waldo continued, "In the next few days, I need to go into seclusion for a while. I feel that although I have enough evolution points, the difficulty of leveling up to the maximum level is increasing, and it should take some time. "
"During this time, keep a close eye on the world passage and never let your guard down. "
"Furthermore, I suspect that there have been some changes in the world passage, and the gods of the underwater world may not be able to reach the surface world for a while. So, you don’t need to worry too much either."
Waldo had already decided to go into seclusion and quickly upgrade his abilities. He wasn’t sure how long it would take. If everything went well, half a day might be enough. If it took longer, it could be three to five days, or even up to ten days or half a month.
However, the giant gods from the underwater world would also need some time to reach this world.
If they were just ordinary giants, with missiles in place, Dawn City’s safety would not be a concern.
