My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 202 - 200 Very Stable

Across the river.

The Commander stood on the city wall, issuing orders calmly.

Behind him, multiple cannons with calibers over 100mm barraged the beast horde with a fury of shells.

In front of the city walls, about a hundred meters from the river, a sandy land turned into a fiery hell under the barrage of artillery, where countless bizarre sea beasts screamed and struggled as they fell in the flames. Yet, more sea beasts trod on the corpses of their kin, advancing towards the city walls.

A giant crab, more than five meters wide, scuttled adeptly avoiding the cannon fire. It leapt high suddenly and struck the steel-reinforced concrete city wall with its massive pincers.

Boom!

Boom!

The outer wall shook violently, and numerous cracks appeared on its surface, with chunks of concrete tumbling down.

The warrior operating the machine gun swiveled the muzzle, showering the giant crab with bullets that, without exception, ricocheted off its shell.

The Commander furrowed his brow, "Team Three, Team Three, immediately kill the mutated crab."

Several figures jumped down from the wall, wielding cold weapons, aiming for the crab’s weak spots.

This was Luoxia Military’s elite squad, specialized in dealing with powerful Demonized Beasts and Mutated Beasts. However, the Commander dared not order these Awakener experts to enter the Demon Tide to kill advanced Mutant Beasts.

Only when creatures like the giant crab came to the walls would he risk sending these elite members to strike… Once they entered the Tide, amidst attacks from all directions, even the utmost experts couldn’t completely avoid damage. Human flesh couldn’t withstand the impact from Mutant Beasts, and even wearing the Sanctuary’s finest protective equipment helped little.

…Unless there was a way to completely defend against Mutant Beasts’ attacks, even if it only protected against low-level ones, only then could Awakener experts charge into the fray without reservations.

"Has reinforcement arrived?" the Commander asked the young man in military uniform beside him.

The young man shook his head, "A Level Three Demon Tide has erupted in the north. The command center can’t provide any reinforcements shortly. After all, the situation there is more critical—a breach in the city wall would affect a large residential area. We cannot afford any losses."

By comparison, their river region was a tiered defensive line, still having space for retreat.

The Commander thought to himself and then commanded, "Activate Energy-gathering Cannons One and Five, focus on the large, high-level Mutant Beasts, and prepare to deploy Solid Burning Bombs. We can’t let these sea beasts enter the inland waterways."

He had to not only hold the Sanctuary’s defenses but also tightly control this passage for sea beasts entering the inland, Luoxia Sanctuary could still hold against such a scale of beast tide, but if those sea beasts got into the inland rivers and even began breeding there, it would cause enormous harm to other Sanctuaries, especially smaller ones in the region.

Torpedoes they had planted earlier in the river detonated, sending columns of water sky-high with booming noises.

That’s why, at the western river crossing bridge and the dyke, the Awakeners faced only minimal attacks from sea beasts.

The Commander pondered and suddenly noticed in the distance on the river crossing bridge, it seemed… several vehicles were speeding.

’Are mercenaries these days really so reckless?’

…

…

On the bridge, the guardrails were broken, and the surface was cracked, just like other roads, apparently trampled by some Demonized or Mutated Beasts.

The Floating Chariots sped at 200 kilometers per hour, the uneven bridge surface causing them no trouble at all.

Around them, sea beasts occasionally leaped from the river, arcing through the air before crashing onto the bridge. Tang Yu suspected many of the potholes were created in this way.

Some fish-like Mutant Beasts flapped around on the bridge, occasionally splashing water towards the convoy, only to be struck by the speeding chariots and sent tumbling off the bridge.

Many other sea beasts, drawn by the commotion, roared and charged at the convoy. Yet, the Floating Chariots did not slow down, charging forward with increased horsepower, only slightly swerving to dodge the larger sea beasts before brushing past them.

By the riverbank.

The Awakeners, either puzzled or mocking, were all astonished.

Initially thinking that the Floating Chariot was just for show, they closely watched the fearless silver sports car on the bridge, looking like a tank in comparison to their own modified SUVs with added bumper spikes. Despite being ugly, the Awakeners had thought them practical.

But now, the silver sports car rampaged unabashedly across the bridge. Its performance and armor hardness far outclassed their modified SUVs by streets.

If it had been their vehicles, driving like that, they wouldn’t have lasted long, let alone successfully reach the other side of the river.

It was simply too unfair.

The Awakener’s mouth agape, a gust carrying the stench of sea beasts blew into his mouth, causing him to cough and his face to flush, at a loss for words.

In the blink of an eye, the bridge was already one-third crossed, leaving a large number of sea beasts in the dust, only able to choke on it.

The Awakeners behind them felt a mixture of emotions, a strong urge to follow across the bridge.

Suddenly,

Bang!

To the right of the bridge,

A giant waterspout shot up into the sky, the spray resembling raindrops, scattering down.

Several whitish-red tentacles burst out from the waterspout.

These tentacles were immensely huge, each one dozens of meters long, like whips, quickly coiling around the bridge’s surface.

They clenched tightly.

At the same time, in the river, a massive body also emerged partially above the water.

"It’s a giant mutant squid!"

"Damn, there’s even a creature of this level, start up the seventh and eighth Energy-gathering Cannons, hurry up and charge them, aim."

The squid’s body was colossal, occupying a good part of the river, its tentacles coiled around the bridge as if a human were climbing a tree.

Ever since the apocalypse, the bridge that had never truly suffered severe damage was now perilously close to collapse.

Even more critical were Tang Yu and the others still on the bridge.

When the giant squid appeared, the Awakeners at the riverbank began to flee, but with a certain emotion, they kept looking back at the bridge, observing the different expressions revealed by those in the silver sports cars.

Tang Yu didn’t expect this situation. Under the squid’s pull, the entire bridge had started to shake, with stones continually falling off, seeming ready to collapse at any moment.

The area where the squid’s tentacles were coiled was right at the center of the bridge. Normally, the convoy would turn around and flee, facing countless Sea Beasts pursuing them from behind, yet there was still a chance for escape.

However, under normal circumstances, Tang Yu wouldn’t have chosen to cross the bridge.

He did not hesitate and accelerated again, trying to pass under the tentacles.

One second.

Two seconds.

Ten seconds…

As they neared, the bridge could no longer withstand the giant squid’s tugging. The central section suddenly collapsed.

Countless huge stones fell, splashes rising on the water, the sound of plunging dominating continuously.

At that moment, the vehicles driven by Tang Yu and his group were only a few dozen meters away from the broken bridge section.

In such a high-speed state, stopping was impossible with such a short distance, all the Awakeners watching the situation understood.

They already saw the fate of Tang Yu and his group.

...

In the car.

Tang Yu was not panicked at all; the problem wasn’t big; he calmly said, "Eileen, create a ramp."

He didn’t go into the specifics, but Eileen understood.

Source Power surged within her.

Ahead of the convoy, at the broken section, layers of frost formed rapidly, creating an icy ramp in the blink of an eye.

The Floating Chariots didn’t slow down at all, directly speeding up the ramp, leaping into the air, crossing over from the broken section of the bridge.

Under the sunlight, the silver casing of the vehicles shone particularly bright.

Until after the vehicles had leapt over the broken bridge and landed thunderously on the other side, continuing their journey, the Awakeners who witnessed it all still looked somewhat stunned.

It was as if in an accident, someone had miraculously survived with a one in a thousand chance.

But little did they know, for Tang Yu, this move was just routine, seemingly perilous but actually… as steady as an old dog.
