Chapter 175 Extermination (6.2k)
Zheng Shu's attack this time eliminated hundreds of corpse guards who had landed, but it also attracted more attention. He looked up and saw hundreds of pairs of red-gold pupils staring at him in the fishing port.
"Come, let me see what you can do." Looking at these eager eyes, Zheng Shu smiled.
As if they had received some order, the corpse guards screamed sharply, exposing their dense razor-sharp teeth, and then jumped head to tail from the Xumizuo into the water one after another, leaping over the defense lines and approaching the fishing port.
Hearing the movement here, more and more corpse guards gathered towards the fishing port.
Zheng Shu stood there unusually calm. The turbulent waves around him could not shake him at all. He just tried his best to push the life breath in his body. In order to completely annihilate these corpse guards, Zheng Shu did not hesitate to use himself as bait.
After the corpse guards got close to a certain distance, Zheng Shu finally took action again. There was still no special effect, and he still punched out like before.
boom!
There is no manipulation or any technical moves. It just uses pure power to violently split the air, explosive twisting power, and finally forms a chaotic air flow spiral. The stronger the force, the greater the power.
The corpse guards who were directly bombarded by the rapidly expanding airflow spiral turned directly into a cloud of blood mist, and the terrifying airflow carried the minced flesh and continued to fly forward.
The corpse guard next to him, who was not directly hit but just brushed by the aftermath, immediately had the same tearing wounds as after being bitten by a wild beast. This kind of injury where almost half of the body was shattered, even after alchemy. The modified Corpse Guard cannot survive either.
Zheng Shu's direct punch almost cleared away all the creatures in a large area directly in front of him. Even the thick seawall and metal fishing boats were torn apart by the chaotic airflow and shattered into pieces less than the size of a finger.
Thousands of mutilated corpses floated in the fishing port, and the waves brought them back to the sea. A few corpses were pushed back to the bottom of the high cliff by the tide, and got stuck in the gaps in the black reef. The moon shone through the gaps in the dark clouds. Under the glow, the dead mermaids hunched their backs, their rugged spines glowing with a cyan light.
And more corpse guards have completely disappeared in this attack, and not even a complete corpse can be found.
But in the face of such a terrifying attack, the corpse guards remained unafraid. The smell of blood emanating from the remaining corpse guards even stimulated their desire to kill, and their actions became even crazier.
A corpse guard swam along the mast of the scientific research ship to the highest point and jumped to the deck where Zheng Shu was. Faced with this attack from behind, Zheng Shu did not look back, but casually flicked his fingers backwards. The corpse guard's head exploded as if he had been hit by a sniper rifle, and his body lost power in mid-air and fell straight down. On the side rear of the deck.
"Sure enough, these monsters have already lost their minds. The so-called fear is essentially just a 'program' set in advance by alchemy." Zheng Shu ignored the fallen corpse behind him and nodded thoughtfully. .
Although the attack he just made seemed random, it was roughly similar in power to the iceberg created by Eriki with all her strength in the end.
However, the corpse guards showed fear when facing Eri's attack. Even the king of the corpse guards, who was transformed by the pure-blood dragon clan, showed flinching. But facing the same level of damage like him, these corpse guards not only showed no fear, but even became more brutal because of their blood.
The biggest difference between the two attacks is obvious. Although Zheng Shu used his power to assist himself in this punch, he did not use any power of the spirit. Obviously, this set behavior pattern is to reduce unnecessary losses when the corpse guards face high-level dragons.
Perhaps even the creators of the Corpse Guards did not expect that there could actually be such a huge loss to the Corpse Guards using only pure power without using the spirit of speech.
Just as Zheng Shu was thinking, a corpse guard that was far stronger than others of its kind jumped into the air from the sea. Its upper body was as muscular as a tiger.
The strong corpse guard climbed to the highest point of the Xumizuo and roared loudly. Even from such a long distance, Zheng Shu could clearly see its true appearance.
Its face is as dry as a mummy, and its pale skin is as hard as rock, tightly wrapped around the raised bones. The facial features are more than twice as large as those of humans, the red-gold eyeballs protrude, and the huge mouth cleft extends to the edge of the lower jaw, which is tightly sewn together with threads similar to fish tendons.
At this moment, it swayed its long withered white hair and slowly opened its mouth. The fish tendons were broken one by one, and the slender teeth protruded from the lips one by one. Finally, its entire mouth was completely opened like a snake devouring its prey. Big enough to swallow a calf.
Roars of different tones came out from that mouth, and the frequency of some of the roars even exceeded the range that humans can hear.
After hearing these roars, the surrounding corpse guards seemed to have received some order. They immediately gave up what they were doing and gathered towards Zheng Shu in various ways.
But this time they seemed to have a clear command. In order to avoid Zheng Shu's range attack with unknown effects, all the corpse guards no longer charged as closely as before, but spread out and rushed up in a staircase shape. Each corpse guard is separated by more than ten meters. Even if Zheng Shu releases that group attack again, it will not be very effective.
In ancient times, if ordinary armies carried out such a scattered charge, they would simply seek death. However, these corpse guards were all five-meter-long behemoths, weighing several times that of an adult man. Their long tails could break steel pipes as thick as arms with a single sweep, and their sharp claws with a metallic luster could easily cut through thick heavy armor. Even rhinos would be slaughtered if they fell into their hands.
Such terrifying corpse guards came from all directions, with sharp claws flashing with cold light and red-gold eyes appearing in the darkness layer by layer. Anyone who saw this scene would lose the courage to resist.
Zheng Shu moved his fingers, jumped from the deck, and automatically jumped into the group of corpse guards. At some point, an alchemical long sword appeared in his hand - this place was too close to the city, and if he attacked wantonly, it would likely affect the residents.
His attack speed was very fast, and the long sword flew in the air, constantly cutting into the positions of the corpse guards. Zheng Shu hardly knew any sword or knife skills, but every attack he made made the enemy unable to resist.
The sharp alchemical weapon combined with Zheng Shu's strange strength can easily cut off the body of the corpse guard, but the seemingly sharp claws of the corpse guard can't leave any injuries on Zheng Shu. After several rounds of attacks, except for the scratches on his clothes, Zheng Shu's body has no trace.
The battle scene was extremely tragic. Zheng Shu did not hesitate to shuttle among the many enemies, like lightning bouncing back and forth on the ground. In just a few seconds, dozens of corpse guards were cut into pieces. Zheng Shu gently shook off the blood drops on the long sword and looked around with disdain.
"It's still a little too close to the city, so I'll play for a while."
Boom!
As soon as the voice fell, Zheng Shu turned into a stream of light against the heavy rain.
A bowl-shaped sonic boom cloud suddenly exploded in front of him. Without using any words and power, Zheng Shu used his most primitive physical strength to break through the speed of sound. He ran and rushed in the battlefield, like a low-flying fighter jet passing through the battlefield, setting off a harsh shock wave.
Thanks to his precise control of power, even if the water surface is under his feet, Zheng Shu can turn it into solid land in an instant. With advance preparation, even air can be used as a stepping stone for movement.
Therefore, his movement trajectory is unpredictable and unpredictable. He can always break into the formation of the corpse guards from the most unexpected place and cause them the greatest damage.
Woo woo woo...
The piercing sonic boom covered the corpse guards' crying like babies, and the only sound on the battlefield was the hum of the air when Zheng Shu moved.
Looking down from the sky, where the stream of light passed, only a few cruel blood flowers were left. In just a few minutes, thousands of corpse guards died under his slaughter.
This is the result of each corpse guard trying to disperse their positions as much as possible. Each of them is separated by a distance of more than ten meters, making it impossible for Zheng Shu to achieve the most efficient harvest.
Under his perception, any hiding corpse guards have nowhere to hide, even if they are hidden deep in the seabed, they will be caught and killed by Zheng Shu.
Zheng Shu, who was busy hacking and killing, suddenly felt his eyes light up. He looked up and found that the battle line of the corpse guard group that was more than ten kilometers long had been killed by him alone. The air waves in the distance still echoed with harsh sounds, and the broken limbs and arms in the sky polluted the entire sea area.
Looking around, he had already gone deep into the sea from the harbor. Standing on the sea and looking at the surging waves around him, Zheng Shu recovered the alchemical weapon in his hand.
Since there were no human buildings around, and the corpse guards had already surrounded him, he could let go a little.
The terrifying burst of fist wind appeared again, and the corpse guards around him turned into blood mist in an instant. Zheng Shu kept punching, and the twisted spiral airflow was blasted out by him like a cannonball, clearing the surrounding sea area in an instant, and even the huge waves that were about to pounce on him were blasted out by him. A huge gap.
When the surroundings calmed down, the originally huge group of corpse guards had been slaughtered and only a few were left.
After taking a look at the fishing port, Zheng Shu suddenly pursed his lips. Because they were having too much fun, a few fish that slipped through the net left the battlefield and were now trying to climb the cliff next to the pier, seemingly wanting to attack a black stone mansion on top of it.
However, Zheng Shu had no intention of going to rescue, because he had already seen two figures standing in the rainstorm in the mansion. One of them was obviously the role of an elderly housekeeper, holding an umbrella to protect the other slim-looking woman from the wind and rain.
As if sensing Zheng Shu's sight, Su Enxi, who was standing in the mansion on the cliff, turned her sight to the direction where Zheng Shu was, but with her eyesight, it was impossible to see Zheng Shu clearly in this stormy night.
"Miss?" The housekeeper who had been silently holding an umbrella next to her noticed her movements.
To be honest, the old housekeeper had never thought that there were such terrible things in the world before today. Whether it was those "mermaids" who were very exciting at first glance, or the mysterious person who slaughtered all these "mermaids" with one person, they were far beyond his understanding.
And seeing how the "master" standing beside him was planning, the other party should have known this all along.
Out of the professional ethics of a top housekeeper, in order not to embarrass his master, even though his heart was already filled with turmoil and his legs were shaking like a sieve in his pants, the old housekeeper still looked calm on the surface, and even the hand holding the umbrella for Su Enxi was still steady without any shaking.
"Seeing all this, you are a member of our team. I have read your resume. As one of the best housekeepers in the world, you should not tell our secrets, right?" Su Enxi's voice suddenly came from the side.
The old housekeeper looked up, and the mysterious hostess had no expression on her face. She faced the sea rain and wind, staring at the junction of the sky and the sea, and seemed not to notice the fish that escaped from the group climbing up the cliff.
"I have already realized it. Those maids who do cleaning have been locked in the house by me. They know nothing about it." The old housekeeper bowed his head.
"Then buy me some barbecue-flavored potato chips tomorrow." Su Enxi turned around and smiled, as if the grand hunting scene just now was just a movie.
"Understood, barbecue flavor." The old housekeeper responded respectfully.
Turning her head and continuing to look at the dark sea in the distance, Su Enxi appeared calm on the surface, but she had already started cursing in her heart: "What kind of monster was that just now?! The boss actually sent me to perform such a task. Isn't he afraid that the monster will kill me directly in an impulse?!"
Looking at the tsunami with a gap in the distance, if it weren't for the butler next to her, Su Enxi's expression would probably have collapsed: "This actually directly shattered the tsunami. Is this really something that humans can do? He won't be a monster in human skin like the boss!!"
Swearing in her heart, if Su Enxi didn't need to maintain her image in front of her subordinates, she would have collapsed on the ground long ago. Even now, under that calm expression, she felt her thighs shaking a little.
Turning around, Su Enxi prepared to vent her anger on the corpse guards who were about to climb up.
"Is the cell phone I just gave you still there?"
Hearing his master's order, the old butler immediately took out the old cell phone that Su Enxi gave him at the beginning from his clothes respectfully: "Here, please take a look."
"Well, then press the '2' button." Su Enxi said lightly.
"Yes, Miss." The old butler pressed the "2" button on the phone keyboard.
To be honest, after seeing the previous things, the old butler's curiosity was already full and about to overflow. He had long wanted to see what special abilities this mysterious Miss Su Enxi had.
In the deepest part of the fishing port, the big ship sounded the whistle, the lights on the bridge lit up, and there was no one in the cockpit, but all the facilities were running automatically.
This is a battleship, a Perry-class frigate of the US Navy. The hull number of the US Seventh Fleet and its name "St. Louis" are written on the side of the ship.
As the button was pressed, the USS St. Louis broke free from the anchor chain and left the dock, spraying white mist. It set sail while firing. The dense array of machine guns that could fire 4,500 rounds of bullets per minute and the 76mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns spit deadly flames at the group of corpse guards on the high cliff. The entire cliff was shaken by the roar of this Perry-class frigate.
In the Yokosuka Naval Base not far away, the duty room had already become a mess.
The US Navy's Seventh Fleet is stationed at the Yokosuka Naval Base. They are only 80 kilometers away from Atami, which can be said to be within reach of the Navy's combat distance.
"Calling St. Louis, this is Yokosuka! Please answer! Answer!" The lieutenant colonel on duty shouted into the microphone, with sweat beads of nervousness oozing out of his face.
"What's going on? What is the St. Louis doing?" A major general rushed to the command desk.
Because of the sudden tsunami warning, a Perry-class frigate of the Seventh Fleet took shelter in the nearby Atami Fishing Port, but at this moment the computer showed that the frigate had weighed anchor and set sail.
Warships are different from fishing boats. Even if they encounter a tsunami, not all crew members can leave the ship. The captain or the first mate must be on duty on board. However, no matter how the base called, the other end of the radio remained silent, and it seemed that it was an empty ship.
The lieutenant colonel had no choice but to connect the closed-circuit television in the cockpit. From the base, he could directly see the scene in the cockpit of the St. Louis. As expected, there was no one in the cabin, but there were explosions outside the cabin, air waves were rushing, and glass fragments were scattered.
"From the ammunition readings in stock, it is fighting with something, but no one is driving it. St. Louis is acting on its own!" The lieutenant colonel's tone was full of panic.
People like them who drift on the sea, no matter how high-end their education is, will have a little superstitious thoughts after drifting on the sea for a few years. Now those legends about ghost ships have emerged in his mind.
"Oh my God..." The major general made a cross on his chest and looked at the lieutenant colonel next to him, confirming that both sides had the same idea.
Disturbed by the dense firepower, the corpse guards tried to attack in another way. A corpse guard climbed to the highest point along the mast of the fishing boat, trying to jump from it to the cliff.
The dense array system immediately raised the muzzle, and the metal waterfall composed of tungsten armor-piercing bullets enveloped it. The corpse guard exploded into a blood flower in mid-air, and the fishing boat behind it was also blasted into pieces by the 79mm rapid-fire cannon.
Looking at the scene below, the old butler kept sweating. Because the previous situation was too magical, he could not accurately know the strength of this group of monsters. After they fought with the war weapons made by humans, the old butler had some understanding of the strength of this group of "mermaids".
He was almost certain that if the mysterious existence had not dealt with most of the "mermaids", the city would not be able to resist their landing.
Each of these creatures, which were strong enough to fight sharks, could fight at least dozens of humans, and Atami was a tourist city that was not fortified at all. Not to mention machine guns and heavy artillery, the police pistols in the city probably added up to less than 100. Once these monsters landed in the city, they had no ability to resist at all.
And with the combat effectiveness shown by this group of "mermaids", even with a Perry-class frigate, they could not stop their attack.
At this time, the dense array of machine guns had ceased fire, and the anti-aircraft guns had also ceased fire. The sea water splashed on the red-hot gun barrels and made a quenching sound. These weapons had exceeded the limit of use and would explode if used further.
And at such a price, its record was only to clean up the remaining "mermaids".
No! It was not even cleaned up very cleanly.
Looking at a "mermaid" in the distance, the old butler silently revised his evaluation in his heart.
The tail of the "mermaid" had been broken by a machine gun, and only one of its hands was left, with several large holes on its chest. Even with such serious injuries, the "mermaid" still relied on its only remaining arm to climb up the cliff and slowly crawled towards Su Enxi's position.
Seeing the true appearance of these "mermaids", the old butler's body shook slightly, not only because of its terrifying appearance, but also because of its terrible vitality.
Once such a monster approaches, even if it is already disabled, he and others cannot beat it.
He was very sure of his conclusion, but the old butler did not take a step back, still holding the umbrella steadily. Because in front of him, the hostess wearing only a silk yukata was still as still as a mountain, and she didn't even put down the teacup in her hand.
"Mr. Kimura, press '0'." Su Enxi looked at the monster in front of him and ordered calmly.
"Yes." As the professional quality of the ace butler, the old butler faithfully followed the master's order, but when pressing the "0" key, his fingers unconsciously exerted force.
Strong light illuminated the high cliff from top to bottom. The beam of light covered Su Enxi and the corpse guard. A dull gunshot came from the bottom of the cliff. The head of the corpse guard suddenly exploded, and black and red blood plasma splashed all over the ground.
The bones of the corpse guard were indeed very hard, and could even withstand the shooting of a pistol, but they would still crack like ceramics in front of a large-caliber sniper rifle.
The corpse guard's body twitched and swayed weakly, and finally fell from the 100-meter-high cliff.
The body fell on the black rock reef and was still rolling and twitching. People wearing black waterproof clothes came from all directions to clean up the scene. The tide took away most of the corpses, leaving only a few corpses of the corpse guards stuck in the cracks of the rocks.
The people in black used sharp harpoons to pierce the corpses and threw them into plastic barrels, and then poured some chemical agents into them. Thick white smoke immediately appeared in the plastic barrels. After a moment, they poured the contents of the plastic barrels into the sea. The corpses of the corpse guards had turned into a sticky liquid at this time.
Su Enxi walked down the steps slowly, put the teacup on the tray, then she dialed the phone and said only one sentence: "Clean up the scene before the Coast Guard arrives, and don't leave things like eyeballs and tails for them to find."
The tsunami has ended here, and the huge waves retreated back to the sea one after another, and the gaps between the black reefs were full of fine white foam.
The temple on the top of the mountain rang the bell again, thankful that the city of Atami survived this disaster. In fact, the scale and destructive power of this tsunami are not very large, and there is a breakwater to block it, so there will probably be no casualties.
But the tourists who were drinking and taking shelter in the city didn't know that a door to hell almost opened in this city.
