Chapter 296: Chapter 206: Exposed Forbidden Zone, Change in Global Situation_2

Falling Flower Rain: "Look at how exaggerated the description below is! The beings coming out of the Restricted Area are all Fifth and Sixth Order Mutated Beings. The strongest known to us now are only Fifth Order Beings, right? How could it be so terrifying?"

Gallant Hero: "What I want to know more is how the military managed to suppress such a powerful Restricted Area. Could this be fake news?"

Wind Rider: "Stop guessing wildly. Isn’t it written right there? In no more than two days, there will be a documentary about that battle."

Such discussions were no longer limited to Yang City but had impacted the whole country.

Especially in the cities near the other two Restricted Areas, with the release of some news and videos, the atmosphere was tense and anxious.

However, the military was already prepared for this and directly announced it would take action against the other two Restricted Areas.

With the experience of dealing with the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area, the military was fully prepared this time.

Whether it was the Restricted Area near the capital or the one near Mount Everest, the military directly deployed over 500,000 troops to surround them, including armored divisions.

After the positions were established and nearly all the country’s fighter jets were transferred to airports near these two Restricted Areas, ready for aerial support at any time,

the two military regions formally took action against the Restricted Areas.

Of course, before this, they contacted Ye Feng again to reconfirm the information about the Seventh Order Strongman.

After confirming with Ye Feng that Seventh Order Strongmen must pay a great cost to emerge and that their time outside was capped at ten minutes, they decisively took action.

Faced with the bombardment of hundreds of Earth-penetrating Bombs, the Restricted Area near the capital retracted its mysterious energy without showing any sign of resistance.

Although the reason was unclear, the military breathed a long sigh of relief.

As for the Restricted Area near Mount Everest, after the bombardment, Forbidden Area Creatures indeed launched attacks.

However, the creatures in this Restricted Area were different from those in the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area.

The beasts coming out of the Everest Restricted Area were primarily flying types, with the strongest being a two-winged monster covered in black scales.

Whether it was aerial or ground combat, they were just as fearsome.

But facing the well-prepared military forces, they hardly broke through the anti-aircraft fire. And even if they did, they would face an airstrike from a squadron of fighter jets.

Under this double blockade, only a very few beasts could break into the positions, and even then, they could only destroy one or two before being focused down and killed.

Therefore, the battle did not last long. In just half an hour, after two tentative waves of assault, realizing they couldn’t breach the defense, the creatures fully retreated back into the Different Space.

And the Seventh Order Creatures that the military was most worried about did not appear.

Naturally, this was something to be happy about, as against Seventh Order Creatures, they could only sacrifice lives to stall for time.

Ye Feng was somewhat surprised when he received this news.

But it also made him more certain of one thing: the cost for Seventh Order beings to maintain their Realm might be more terrifying than he imagined.

In less than a day’s time, the three Restricted Areas within Hua Country were mostly resolved.

At least for the short term, they had all retracted, showing no signs of expansion.

As the news spread, it naturally excited everyone across the country.

And with the growing public interest, coupled with the official’s lack of any intention to conceal, some countries overseas naturally became aware as well.

At first, they were skeptical.

However, as the official footage from the battlefield cameras was released, they had no choice but to believe and take it seriously.

In such matters, they knew Hua Country had no reason to lie, and with the Restricted Areas right there, a try would reveal the truth.

Therefore, the countries with Restricted Areas in their territories braced for the threat, and not only them, some smaller nations that had been lackadaisical also became restless.

If at the beginning they felt the danger of the Restricted Areas was far from them,

Now, knowing that Fifth Order Beings could emerge from the Restricted Areas at any time changed everything.

Without exaggeration, just a few Fifth Order Beings coming out of a Restricted Area could potentially doom an entire city.

More importantly, no one could guarantee that the Fifth Order Beings wouldn’t attack their own capitals.

Faced with the possibility of imminent danger to their safety, the leaders of these small nations were afraid.

They had barely ended the crisis with the mutated insects and hadn’t yet had the chance to provide relief before they immediately started gathering personnel to search for the Restricted Areas.

It must be said that under such circumstances, the efficiency was terrifyingly high: within just one day, three more Restricted Areas were successively discovered.

One in Africa, one in Australia, and the last one at the North Pole.

Up to this point, a total of eight Restricted Areas had been identified.

As for the Restricted Areas in America and Europe, whose locations were already known, it took just one day after their discovery for the nations where they were located to prepare for an assault.

The reason they needed one day to prepare was primarily to retrofit the Earth-penetrating Bombs, in addition to mobilizing troops. free𝑤ebnovel.com

It’s worth mentioning that Hua Country didn’t excessively hoard its treasure, but rather, sold the Earth-penetrating Bomb retrofitting scheme to these countries at a relatively low cost.

After all, for countries with a bit of strength, it wasn’t too difficult to come up with such technology, it was just a matter of time.

The America Restricted Area was naturally handled by America.

Since their country only had one Restricted Area, they were able to divert a sufficient number of troops there, with the total soldiers amounting to 1 million.

Everyone originally believed that this would be a nearly certain victory.

However, the development of the battle was not at all as expected.

Because the range of the America Restricted Area was at least three times larger than that of Hua Country’s Restricted Area, the battle line surrounding it was very long.

When the Six-winged Beasts charged out from the Restricted Area, they directly broke through one segment of the defense line.

If America’s foundation hadn’t been strong enough, and if they hadn’t had enough fighter jet squadrons, which desperately shot down the Six-winged Beasts that broke the line, allowing the reinforcement troops to regain control of the line, it would have been hard to say whether they could win at all.

Even so, America’s military suffered casualties of no less than 100,000 soldiers in this battle.

But no matter what, they still won.

The situation with the Restricted Area in Europe, however, was different; it spanned across two countries.

So in the end, two countries collaborated to send troops, and because the land area of these European countries was not large, this Restricted Area posed a threat to other nations too. Eventually, six countries formed an allied force of 1.5 million soldiers.

However, the equipment of these six countries was quite uneven, and during deployment, they were all wary of each other, even fearful that their own troops would be put in the front as cannon fodder.

Ultimately, after deliberation, the six countries each defended a section of the battle line.

After they bombarded the Restricted Area, thousands of Western Giants Dragons appeared. After a brief probing, they charged directly at the weakest defense line.

That section of the line was instantly broken through, and the other countries’ attempts at rescue were not timely enough, or rather, they hesitated, ultimately leading to a complete collapse of the front.

These 1.5 million soldiers were even chased by the dragons.

The cities along the way suffered even more.

Only after a city was obliterated did they have no choice but to ask for fire support from nations around the world.

Global fire support might sound far-fetched, but it was indeed achievable—intercontinental missiles would do the job.

In the end, after an online conference between countries, they urgently drafted a rescue plan to use nuclear weapons to attack the Different Space within the Restricted Area.

Because the Restricted Area deployed Giants Dragons over a hundred meters tall, the portal’s location was exposed early on.

But the passage the dragons used to exit was angled upward, making it difficult to guide a missile to directly enter it.

However, this was not a problem.

All they needed was a batch of Earth-penetrating Bombs to blast a vertical tunnel, and then the nuclear bombs could be sent in.

The only issue with this approach was that it was somewhat wasteful of ammunition.

But with each country providing a bit of support, the problem wasn’t too severe.
