Chapter 64: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

"I'm back!?"

After shattering the dark realm with a loud roar, Ivan reappears in the mess of his bedroom, only to find the entire ceiling burning. Outside the bedroom, the cracked alloy plates fell to the ground one by one, cracking into deformed metal fragments. Rapid air flowed from the cracks in the ventilation pipes, and the sound of those steel pipes breaking was like a patient moaning in pain.

The entire Space Fortress sirens beeped, and the blood-like red light of the police lights swept across the ground in rounds and rounds. On the ceiling of the hallway, rows of cameras are slamming aimlessly left and right, like wolves that have lost their leader patrolling the wasteland.

"Wait! Something seems wrong......"

At this moment, Ivan suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected something, raised his hands, and looked at his palms: "Hypajeton is a dreadbeast...... I can accumulate nightmare aura by slaughtering the Dreadbeast!, but when I first killed it, I didn't absorb even a trace of nightmare breath, and this guy is not dead!"

"Master, master, are you alright!?"

At this moment, the alarm near the bedroom suddenly became low, and Xiao Xi's eager voice echoed in the space.

"I'm fine, the assassin has been wounded by me. You tell all the people to stay on their posts and stay on guard, and they don't need to come to me. Evan first asked Xiaoxi to maintain order, and then instructed as quickly as possible:

"Connect to the Skynet system for me now! I'm going to catch that guy with my own hands!"

One-one-one-one

The site of the former city of Bangsala, military base No. 8.

An undulating oasis shrouded in twilight, obscuring the buildings left on the ground of the military base, and not a single star was heard around, only three or two points of phosphorus fire faintly shimmered. Several guard towers from far and near came out of the night, against the backdrop of the blue-black sky, looking solemn and calm. Under the cover of the wind and sand at night, the outline of the guard tower looks blurred, as if it were just a reflection in the rippling water.

Inside the guard tower facing north, Anthony was hunched in front of a monitor, his chin resting on a hardwood table, his eyes fixed on the screen. For fear that if you were careless, you would miss important details - both the Governor and His Majesty the Sun King had emphasized that this was an extraordinary calamity and that they must be vigilant at all times.

He was suddenly stunned, the periphery of the oasis was originally a flat meadow, but it had become a muddy semi-swamp due to two days of rain in a row, and beyond that there were rolling wastelands and deserts. Although the scene in the previous monitor was dark, it was barely possible to see it with the help of night vision equipment.

But in just a few seconds at this moment, the already pitiful light intensity continued to decrease. Seeing that only a hazy black shadow was left in the monitor, Anthony rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting that he had a problem with his eyesight after staring at it for a long time.

Soon convinced that his eyesight was normal, he suspected that something was wrong with the monitor. When all the outside world was gone, leaving only a dead undercurrent of silence, he realized that the base might have been under attack.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Anthony frantically slapped the alarm bell, and the originally quiet and solemn military base instantly became noisy and noisy.

Shrill sirens began to spread, a large number of drones flew out of the base's drop-offs, and rows of medium- and long-range missiles flipped and set up to the ground. The barracks of the major garrisons opened the steel gates, and there were demon hunters, high-ranking warriors, and priests wearing elite armor. More of them were new-style infantrymen, dressed in camouflage uniforms and armed with steel guns, exuding an air of fierceness.

The rumbling sound rushed through the command room like a torrent, and the high-ranking military quarters were knocked open and kicked open one after another, and the middle and senior commanders poured out of it, their expressions more gloomy and hideous than usual.

"Where? Where is the enemy!?"

"Why is it so dark outside, is it fog or dark clouds?"

"The distance of the searchlight is not enough, the night vision device of the drone does not work, and the monitoring equipment is even more obsolete. ”

After a brief period of panic, the governor and senior officers finally figured out the situation based on feedback from all sides: it turned out that the entire military base had been surrounded by darkness, and the visibility of the outside world could be said to be out of reach, and even the most powerful searchlights could not hit a few meters away. Although there was no official blow, the entire base was shrouded in darkness, and the isolated situation still made everyone nervous.

"Lord Governor, this must be the means of monsters! They first shrouded everything in darkness, it is likely that they wanted to surprise the sneak attack, we must not be fooled!" One of the accompanying staff members was quite shrewd, and when he saw this, he hurriedly reminded the governor to be on guard.

"Makes sense!"

After the governor was awakened by him, he immediately instructed the senior officers beside him: "Open the defensive barrier immediately, and then turn on all the lights that can be turned on inside and outside the base, tell the soldiers to stay on guard, and leave people to defend the underground buildings." The monsters must be planning to take advantage of the darkness to infiltrate the base and create chaos so that we don't have time to fight back, so we can't be fooled by them!"

"Yes!"

The senior officer immediately turned on his communicator and announced the order to the military forces of the entire base.

At this moment, there was a strange thunderclap in the dark sky, and the warriors who remained on the ground raised their heads and looked directly above. An eerie roar of thunder hovered directly above the military base, and something seemed to be hovering there.

"The wind and sand have stopped!?" someone said in surprise.

Military Base 8 was built in an oasis in the desert, so the wind and sand raging at night were nothing more than an everyday phenomenon to which they had long been accustomed.

But the wind and sand around the base really stopped, and it was clear that a few seconds before the outside world was still raging, and it seemed that something was hovering directly above the military base - big enough to cover the entire base and keep it out of the sand.

At that moment, a miserable white lightning tore through the darkness, illuminating the inky night sky and the massive monsters suspended in midair.

It was a humanoid monster with a pitch-black carapace-like exoskeleton, a head with a bunch of horns that curved towards the middle, and a face that was a cross-shaped golden glowing crystal. Thick, bulging black arms with sickle-like bone blades, a pair of bony wings grow on the back, and exoskeletons on both shoulders rise upside down like crab claws. There was a terrifying cold light flowing on the surface of the body, and the huge body of nearly 100 meters high seemed to stand up to the sky.

“......”

At this moment, the armed forces in the military base all fell into a mysterious silence.

A large number of them have stabbed monsters on the battlefield, and some have even slaughtered more than 100 of them. But this monster is so big that it obscures the clouds...... It was as if with a wave of a hand, an entire military base could be razed to the ground.
