Chapter 233 Who cares!
To be fair, the US military moves very quickly.
Following orders from higher command, a military base in the Nevada desert sprang into action.
Soon, ground and air forces arrived at the perimeter of Test Base Zero.
The night wind whipped up yellow sand, which lashed against the cold surface of the armored vehicle.
Heavy tanks of the ground armored forces lined up on the sand dunes, their gun barrels all aimed at the entrance to Base Zero.
Two strategic bombers are circling in the sky, locking onto their targets.
"Attention all units. Target: Base Zero."
With everything in place, the frontline commander stood in the command vehicle, issuing orders directly over the walkie-talkie.
"Three, two, one. Fire!"
As the word "fire" was uttered, the night sky was instantly illuminated by the flames.
Several bunker-buster missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, accurately struck the base's ventilation shafts and main entrance.
Rumbling--
In an instant, a muffled explosion rang out, and the earth shook violently.
Tons of sand were hurled high into the air, and the entire underground base collapsed rapidly under terrifying heat and shockwaves.
In just a few moments, the once flat Zero Base collapsed into a giant crater.
"The target has been destroyed."
The radar operator, who observed this situation on the radar, immediately reported it.
Upon hearing the report, the commander sneered and said disdainfully:
"No matter what kind of monster you are, you'll still end up as roast meat."
As he was about to pick up the coffee on the small folding table to celebrate, the radar operator's voice rang out again, this time tinged with fear.
"Sir! There's a high-energy reaction underground!"
"What did you say?"
The commander turned to look at the radar screen, puzzled.
The next moment, the red dot representing the heat source on the screen not only did not disappear, but was expanding at an extremely terrifying speed.
The radar operator exclaimed in surprise:
"Sir, sir, something is burrowing up from underground!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Suddenly, a huge bulge appeared in the sand ahead.
Immediately afterwards, the sand and soil cracked.
A black tentacle, over ten meters thick, burst from the ground and lashed out directly at a heavy tank.
The tank, weighing tens of tons, was flung into the air like a toy and crashed heavily into the armored vehicle position behind it.
An explosion rang out, steel twisted, and flames shot into the sky.
"Fire! All units, open fire!"
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the commander instinctively roared at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, the main guns of the tanks all around turned their muzzles and aimed at the target, roaring as a barrage of shells rained down on the tentacle.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
Amidst the deafening explosions, bursts of flame and smoke rose into the air.
As the firelight faded and visibility gradually improved, the target inside was once again revealed to everyone.
However, apart from a few holes being blown open on the surface and black mucus oozing out, the tentacle was not seriously damaged.
And under everyone's watchful eyes, the gaps healed instantly as the black fleshy buds writhed.
At the same time, more tentacles emerged from underground.
Then, the main body of a dark, fleshy mountain was squeezed out of the ground.
Hundreds of scarlet eyes opened on the mountain of flesh, frantically turning and looking at the entire ground force.
"A generous gift of crab... What the hell is this?!"
A tank driver looked at the monster in front of him and felt a chill run down his spine, feeling an indescribable nausea.
The monster didn't give the group of eagles much of a chance to react; it waved its tentacles, sweeping across the armored positions like harvesting wheat.
Wherever it went, tanks were overturned and soldiers were swept up.
The soldiers who were caught didn't even have time to scream before they were corroded into a pool of blood by the acid on the surface of the tentacles, and then sucked into the mouthparts on the tentacles.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Upon witnessing this horrific scene through external surveillance footage, the commander instantly broke down and screamed.
I originally thought this operation would be a piece of cake, something I could easily handle.
But who would have thought that such a monster would emerge from the ground?
At his command, the entire ground force quickly turned around.
However, the speed at which the mountain of flesh grew was unusually fast.
Furthermore, a black fungal carpet spread out beneath it, radiating outwards from the center of the flesh mountain, clinging to the sandy ground.
The fungal carpet caught up with the command vehicle and instantly enveloped it.
The commander's desperate screams came from inside the vehicle, then silence followed.
In the sky, the bomber pilot looked down at the desert that had been transformed into a living hell, his hands trembling.
"This is Falcon One... Target cannot be destroyed... Target is spreading..."
……
The conference room in the Hexagon fell into a deathly silence as people gazed upon the devastation of the Nevada desert.
All the senior executives stared intently at the satellite and on-site footage on the screens, speechless for a long time.
The sight of that black shadow expanding across the Nevada desert, in particular, sent chills down the spines of these high-ranking officials.
terrible!
terrible!
Wherever that thing went, all life was devoured.
The general, who had just been clamoring to use firepower to sweep the ground, looked at the illogical scene before him and slumped into his chair, his face ashen.
"What...what...what exactly did that bastard Carter research?"
While everyone was still in shock,
The ground forces in the desert have been almost completely wiped out.
Moreover, after devouring the army, the monster's size increased again, and it began to wriggle towards the nearest city.
Seeing this, all the high-ranking officials present were stunned.
Their faces were filled with grief, as if they had lost their parents.
……
The next day,
"Young Master Lin, something's happened."
Lin Fan was still asleep when Night Owl rushed into the room with a military-grade tablet in hand.
Lin Fan, who had stayed up most of the night, yawned listlessly, sat up, and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"The US has messed up its own game!"
Night Owl handed the tablet in his hand to Lin Fan with a delighted expression.
Lin Fan took it and subconsciously looked at the screen.
The next moment, the screen was filled with shocking headlines and videos.
A terrifying behemoth has been spotted in the Nevada desert!
Military routed; the 7th Armored Division annihilated!
Doomsday is coming! Emergency evacuation of Las Vegas!
In the video, a huge black mountain of flesh slowly moves across the desert, with the ground around it covered by a black fungal carpet.
Fighter jets occasionally swept across the sky, dropping missiles, but they didn't even cause a splash when they hit the monster.
"Wait... how did it grow so big?"
Upon seeing the monster in the video, Lin Fan was instantly wide awake.
You should know that when he saw this thing last night, it only occupied a small underground corridor hall.
And now...
It actually looks like a small mountain of flesh.
At this moment, Lin Jianguo, who had heard the commotion, also came from another room and took a look at the screen.
"Holy crap, what is this thing? Did it grow up eating fertilizer?"
"It's unclear whether they ate chemical fertilizers or not."
Lin Fan stared at the tablet, thought for a moment, and said, "But I know that the US is probably really in big trouble this time."
Lin Jianguo sat down, his brow furrowed: "This thing is so big, I reckon they might have to ask for international help!"
"Need help?"
Lin Fan chuckled.
"Given the US's stubborn pride, they will never back down until the very last moment."
He scrolled through the screen, looking at the comments from netizens below.
The situation in the United States is completely chaotic.
The stock market was immediately halted upon opening. Supermarkets were emptied by panic buying. Highways were completely blocked by fleeing vehicles.
"These politicians are a bunch of pigs! What on earth are they researching underground?!"
"God has abandoned us!"
"Please, someone save us!"
Lin Fan remained unmoved by the comments.
As the saying goes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
The US, relying on its military strength, has been causing trouble all over the world, and now it's finally getting its comeuppance.
"But then again..."
Lin Jianguo stroked his chin and said,
"If this monster really wipes out the US, it won't do us any good, will it?"
What if it grows out of control? We'll have to step in sooner or later, won't we?
"Dad, you're thinking a bit too far ahead."
Lin Fan, however, felt there was no need to worry about these things.
"And the US has nuclear weapons."
"You mean, the US will use nuclear weapons?"
"When pushed to the limit, something might happen." Lin Fan stretched. "But whether a nuclear bomb could kill this thing is really hard to say."
Lin Fan stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
Domingo was organizing morning prayers for the survivors in the square, while Mark stood beside him, showing off his invulnerable muscles.
Everything was going according to his plan.
"No matter how much trouble the US makes, let's seize this opportunity and make Raccoon City an impregnable fortress."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
As he came into contact with more and more things, he discovered that the world was becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable.
Even external divine servants have appeared; who knows what other monsters and demons will emerge in the future?
The only important thing is to establish our own power and gain a firm foothold as soon as possible.
As for the rest...
I don't care who it is!
