Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 411 - 259: Clearing the Field Directly_2

Hearing this, Zhang Ji silently nodded and quickly conveyed the words of the Mutated Parrot to his superiors.

Yang City made a decision swiftly on their end as well.

They would first bomb the area surrounding the Ancient Ruins, targeting the Mutated Beings.

With the order given, hundreds of missile trucks quickly moved from the military camp to an open space.

Yang City was only a Level 2 city, and it naturally would not have so many missile trucks of its own.

But the Ancient Ruins had been discovered a month ago, and they certainly made preparations, having called these missile trucks from surrounding cities.

They had also successfully acquired a total of 500 Thermostatic Shells, which, once launched, would be sufficient to execute a saturation attack on the area within a 10-kilometer radius of the Ancient Ruins.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Merely a minute later, over a hundred cruise missiles armed with Thermostatic warheads were fired into the sky, and then, travelling at six times the speed of sound, they blanketed the area around the Ancient Ruins.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of mushroom clouds immediately rose around the Ruins, and the intense explosions and flames engulfed countless Mutated Insects measured in the billions.

Even the Mutated Animals, under this round of bombing, saw their numbers decimated by no fewer than three or four hundred thousand.

Mutated Beings below Fourth Order, when caught in the range of the Thermostatic Shells, were almost certain to perish.

Even Mutated Beings above Fourth Order, if they were within the core area of the explosion, were doomed without a doubt.

Because the center of the Thermostatic Shell’s explosion had enough power to kill Sixth Order Mutated Organisms.

After suffering such catastrophic strikes, the Mutated Beings gathered around quickly scattered all around, no longer caring about the Ruins.

Unfortunately for them, they might have fled quickly, but the second wave of Thermostatic Shells came even faster, followed by the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round.

In just three minutes, all 500 Thermostatic Shells had been launched, turning the entire 10-kilometer vicinity of the Ancient Ruins into a charred wasteland.

On this bombed land, there was hardly a body left of Mutated Beings below Third Order.

This was the power of human technology.

"Killing these Mutated Beings is really satisfying! They didn’t even have the ability to detonate these Thermostatic Shells prematurely," many officers sighed with relief upon seeing this scene.

If the same tactics were used against those Forbidden Area Creatures, most of these Thermostatic Shells would probably be wasted in vain.

After the bombing ended, the military quickly dispatched drones for reconnaissance, and the data soon converged on Zhang Ji’s end.

"Parrot Messenger, after this round of bombing, the number of Mutated Beings has been reduced by nearly ninety percent," reported the drone.

"The remaining Mutated Insects have dwindled to thirty or forty million, while the number of Mutated Animals has dropped below a hundred thousand."

"The only pity is that our subsequent rounds of attack gave them some reaction time; nearly all of the Mutated Beings above Fourth Order were able to escape," Zhang Ji said with a hint of regret in his heart.

If Yang City could have brought in more missile trucks and fired all 500 Thermostatic Shells in one breath, they could have wiped them out in one go.

"It’s already good enough, and don’t forget that with so many Ancient Ruins across the world, the number of Mutated Beings that will eventually enter the Ruins is likely to be massive," said Ye Feng, who was not overly concerned.

What he was more worried about now was the imminent arrival of the Forbidden Area Army and the impending opening of the Ancient Ruins.

Yes, the time was now 8:55 pm, and if he wasn’t mistaken, the Ruins were estimated to officially open at 9 pm.

This could be somewhat deduced from the energy barrier, which was already fading away.

As for the Biological Army of the Forbidden Area, it had already entered the jurisdiction of Yang City.

Time passed by the minute and second, and the human powerhouses who had gathered in the square were now all atop the city walls.

Standing at such a height, with the power of Third Order beings, they could already roughly see the situation around the Ancient Ruins a few kilometers away.

"Time is almost up," someone whispered softly.

As his voice faded, the energy barrier surrounding the Ancient Ruins flickered a few times before dissipating completely.

With the disappearance of the energy barrier, everyone suddenly felt a deep desire emanating from the bottom of their hearts.

Almost everyone stared intently at the distant Ancient Ruins, wanting to rush over without hesitation and enter them.

Many had even started to move their legs, preparing to leap down from the city walls, dozens of meters high.

But just then, a howl laced with a Mental Shock rang out, freeing everyone from that state of emotion.

"Gather your thoughts, don’t be attracted over there just yet," Ye Feng’s voice, amplified by Spiritual Energy, boomed like thunder in everyone’s ears.

Only then did they come back to their senses, their faces involuntarily showing a hint of fear. freёnovelkiss.com

"What’s going on? I felt the allure of the Ancient Ruins increased by tenfold just now," someone said.

"How could it only be tenfold?" retorted a companion standing beside him, "Think about it, we are at least seven or eight kilometers away from the Ancient Ruins right now. To be affected at this distance, the attraction must have increased by at least a hundredfold."

Listening to the conversation of the crowd, Ye Feng slightly shook his head. The attraction that the Ancient Ruins had emitted just now was not merely what the people felt.

The stronger one’s power, the greater the attraction of the Ancient Ruins would be to them.

That moment, his original body was nearly 300 kilometers away from the Ancient Ruins, and yet he had also felt a strong attraction.

He even suspected that this force of attraction could be transmitted thousands of kilometers away before it would disappear.

If that were true, then almost all Five Six Order Mutated Beings around the world would feel the opening of the Ancient Ruins.

Without a doubt, even if there were treasures inside the ruins, the competition for them would be fiercer than ever before.

"It’s the Forbidden Area Creatures!" an exclamation brought Ye Feng back to his senses.

He immediately looked into the distance. The Biological Army of Forbidden Area Creatures was less than a kilometer away from the Ancient Ruins.

Everything in the path of the army, not just the Mutated Beings but even the surrounding trees, was completely trampled and broken.

In such a domineering manner, they rushed to the Ancient Ruins, without any hesitation, and directly charged through the huge stone doors, which were already wide open.

Then, everyone could see that the moment they crossed the threshold, their bodies flashed and vanished into thin air.

Even the ferocious beasts capable of flight, upon crossing over the city walls and flying into the Ancient Ruins, also disappeared from sight.

Clearly, as long as one entered the scope of the Ancient Ruins, they would be teleported away.

This scene left Ye Feng somewhat puzzled.

If entering the Ancient Ruins meant being teleported away, then what purpose did those halls within serve? Could they just be mere decorations?

But nobody could provide him with an answer to this question.

The Forbidden Area Creatures in their mad dash, in less than two minutes, had all rushed into the Ancient Ruins and were teleported away.

Only after this did many people let out a long sigh of relief.

Even separated by several kilometers, the presence of so many Five Six Order Creatures still exerted an immense pressure on them.

And it wasn’t just them who breathed a sigh of relief, but also the Mutated Beings that were once again attracted by the Ancient Ruins.

After the Forbidden Area Creatures disappeared, they all crazily surged towards the Ancient Ruins.

"Let’s go! We depart too," Ye Feng said, and then, flapping his wings, he flew toward the direction of the Ancient Ruins.

The Animal Legion and Insect Army that had converged around Yang City once again sprang into motion, charging towards the Ancient Ruins.

Seeing this scene, the elite teams sent from various cities didn’t hesitate at all and leaped down from the city walls, following the army of Dragon Hall as they set off.
