Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 266 - 192: Full Engagement, Missile Bombardment_1

Chapter 266: Chapter 192: Full Engagement, Missile Bombardment_1

Thermostatic Shells were their trump card.

Indeed, these weapons were the trump card, because even Ye Feng’s true form was not certain he could endure a hit from a Thermostatic Shell and survive.

Against ordinary Fifth Order Mutated Beings, the effect was absolutely devastating.

Of course, that presupposed you could hit the target.

It was for this reason that Bai Yinghui had issued the order for saturation bombing, to leave them with nowhere to hide.

As time ticked by, the number of Skeleton Creatures pouring out of the portal grew larger, and they were rapidly adapting to the military’s tactics, swiftly changing their own strategies in response.

This sight weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

"The number of Skeleton Creatures has actually surpassed 3000," Dong Ming said hoarsely as he blurted out the figure while fixedly staring at the monitor.

If they hadn’t made arrangements in advance and let these Skeleton Creatures escape, he could hardly imagine what the consequences would have been.

At any rate, his Yonghe City surely couldn’t have held them off.

"Actually, what I’d rather know is just how many of these Skeleton Creatures there are, and whether we have enough Thermostatic Shells on hand?" Bai Yinghui said with a tremble in his voice, as he observed the endless stream of Skeleton Creatures climbing up from the depths.

There was no help for it, seeing as these Fifth Order Skeletal Creatures were being sent out en masse like a makeshift army, which unnerved anyone who saw it.

"Don’t worry about the ammunition; I’ve already made contact with the provincial military district, and the support troops are on their way," someone said.

"What worries me more is what the enemy has in reserve," Fang Wei said, his brow furrowed deeply.

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui and Dong Ming both turned querying looks his way.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Wei shared his thoughts, "Just now, we used nuclear weapons to bomb Qiongqi, which means the enemy must know we have even more powerful weapons at our disposal."

"But look at their actions, daring to release these Skeleton Creatures without any scruples. Do they not fear that we could wipe them out in one fell swoop?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Upon hearing what Fang Wei had said, both Bai Yinghui and Dong Ming’s expressions changed.

"Commander Fang, are you suggesting they have a way to counter our nuclear arsenal and other weapons of mass destruction?" Bai Yinghui asked hastily.

"I don’t know. But their confidence suggests a strong possibility," Fang Wei replied.

The atmosphere suddenly became very serious.

Just then, the missile troops sent an inquiry, asking whether to launch the Thermostatic Shells now.

Bai Yinghui immediately glanced at the surveillance feed; indeed, a portion of the Skeleton Creatures was close to breaking out of the restricted area.

And thinking about the fact that there were over 3000 Fifth Order Beings inside, he gave the order without hesitation, "Launch immediately! Saturate the area with bombardment."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of cruise missiles soared into the sky. This time they didn’t fall back after rising hundreds of meters in the air.

Instead, like the Earth-penetrating Bombs, they shot up nearly ten kilometers before beginning to adjust their flight trajectories, diving towards the ground.

This was done to maximize the velocity of the shells.

While they couldn’t reach the terrifying speed of Mach 10, Mach 8 was still achievable. Combined with Trajectory Changing Technique, it made the missiles’ paths unpredictable and difficult to intercept.

As the missiles began to fall, countless Skeleton Creatures looked up, and Bai Yinghui could almost see fear in their empty sockets.

The next instant, the Skeleton Creatures began to run frantically: some tried to burrow into the ground, some tried to flee outward, and some attempted to lift boulders to detonate the missiles prematurely.

But it was all too late. At eight times the speed of sound, meaning over 2.72 kilometers a second, about thirty missiles exploded overhead almost instantly.

Thirty mushroom clouds rose, blanketing every space within the restricted area. The terrifying heat instantaneously turned the bones of the Skeleton Creatures glowing red.

But more frightening was the super-heavy pressure. At the moment of a Thermostatic Shell’s explosion, it could generate a staggering 500 kilograms of pressure over an area the size of a fingernail.

At that moment, every bone of the Skeleton Creatures had to endure several tons or even dozens of tons of pressure, which was simply unbearable for them.

Apart from the roar of thirty Thermostatic Shells exploding, a series of crackling sounds echoed throughout the restricted area.

It was the sound of the Skeleton Creatures’ bones being directly crushed under the immense pressure.

When the mushroom clouds dissipated, the reconnaissance drones flying above the restricted area revealed nothing but shattered bones below.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the command vehicle couldn’t help but excitedly clench their fists.

Even Ye Feng, who silently witnessed it all, had to admit the power and terror of thermal weapons.

However, he wasn’t excited, for he had personally experienced Qiongqi’s strength, which could cause him significant harm with just a glance.

Such a terrifying being would either choose not to retaliate, or if they did, their methods would certainly be more than this.

What happened next was exactly as Ye Feng had predicted.

As the Skeleton Creatures within the restricted area were bombed to oblivion, the portal temporarily ceased, but the cessation lasted less than a minute.
