Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Fatal Blow

The inner city was also filled with the sound of explosions, as quite a few monsters had slipped through.

"Defense Sector C3 has fallen! A large number of Blood Corpse Beasts have climbed up! We need support!"

Desperate calls for help continuously crackled through Jiang Huai’s comms device.

"Hold on! I’m dispatching the reserves to support you now!"

Jiang Huai had shouted himself hoarse.

"Miss, we can’t keep this up! How much longer do we have to hold out?"

Bakaen sent a Blood Corpse Beast flying with a swing of his metal Giant Hammer, then anxiously asked Qian Luobing.

Qian Luobing surveyed the battlefield and replied coldly.

"We fight to the last man!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Bakaen replied, gritting his teeth.

「Meanwhile.」

A Blood Breath Dog lunged at Long Ming.

Long Ming sidestepped and swung his Dark Blade in a horizontal slash.

SLICE!

The Blood Breath Dog’s head was sliced clean off.

Just then, a Blood Breath Bat dove from the sky, its jaws open as it went for Long Ming.

Long Ming raised his Dark Blade and thrust it straight into the Blood Breath Bat’s mouth, the sharp tip bursting out the back of its skull.

HUFF... HUFF...

After finishing off the Blood Breath Bat, Long Ming panted heavily, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

His Physical Strength was nearly depleted.

Just then, a Blood Corpse Beast erupted from a pile of corpses and lunged straight at Long Ming.

Startled, Long Ming immediately raised his Dark Blade to block.

The Blood Corpse Beast instantly tackled him to the ground.

The Blood Corpse Beast opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and snapped at Long Ming’s head, trying to tear it off.

Long Ming used the last of his strength to hold it off.

Seeing this, Fu Fuqing’s expression changed slightly. He rushed over and swung his blade down.

SLICE!

The head of the Blood Corpse Beast pinning Long Ming flew through the air.

Fu Fuqing pulled Long Ming to his feet and said coldly.

"Get behind me!"

"Thanks,"

Long Ming gasped, feeling as if he couldn’t draw a breath.

Jing Chuan saw this and hurried over.

"Long Ming, are you okay?!"

"I’m fine. Just exhausted my Physical Strength,"

Long Ming replied, forcing himself to stay on his feet.

"Dammit, what are we going to do? We’ll never last until dawn."

Jing Chuan looked around, utterly despairing.

Monsters were pouring over the entire city wall, with swarms of Blood Breath Spiders crawling straight up.

However, at that very moment, a tremendous roar echoed from the sky.

Long Ming and the others instinctively looked up to see streaks of light tearing across the sky, falling like lightning bolts toward the distant monster horde.

Following that, blinding white lights erupted in various sections of the horde, instantly engulfing all the surrounding Blood Breath Beasts.

The scorching heat instantly melted the surrounding monsters as the air crackled with a piercing roar.

The destructive inferno, carrying the mangled limbs of countless Blood Breath Beasts and charred bone fragments, swelled into a massive mushroom cloud that emitted a dark purple, radioactive halo.

Then, a devastating shockwave swept out.

Countless Blood Breath Beasts were instantly turned into a bloody pulp, charred and carbonized as their limbs were torn apart and scattered by the blast wave.

"Get down!"

Luoxue yelled to everyone.

Long Ming and the others quickly dropped to the ground just as the aftershock washed over them.

「Dozens of seconds later.」

Long Ming and the others raised their heads and looked into the distance. The dense, black tide of monsters had become sparse.

All the Blood Breath Beasts within a several-kilometer radius of the blast’s epicenter had been wiped out.

"It worked!"

...

The soldiers roared in excitement.

Watching this scene, Qian Luobing’s icy expression softened considerably.

The streamer, Nansi, also reported with elation.

"Everyone, look! The monster horde has been wiped out by the Nuclear Bombs!"

"Awesome!"

"That was amazing!"

"We won!"

"I told you those monsters were brainless. They’re no match for us at all."

...

Countless citizens posted excited comments.

Long Ming heaved a long sigh of relief. It looked like Mountain City Mountain’s plan had been a resounding success.

The number of Blood Breath Beasts annihilated by this wave of Nuclear Bombs was simply uncountable.

Everyone got a moment’s respite before they continued clearing out the Blood Breath Beasts that had made it over the wall.

Not long after, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, its dawn light piercing the darkness and spilling across the land.

"It’s finally dawn!"

Jing Chuan froze for a moment, then cried out in ecstasy.

The moment they saw the light of dawn, the exhausted soldiers’ faces lit up with excitement, and one by one, they began to cry out.

"We did it!"

After cleaving in two a Blood Corpse Beast that was climbing the wall, Qian Luobing slowly raised her head to look at the distant, rising sun.

At that moment, Long Ming also staggered to the edge of the city wall and slowly looked out into the distance.

The monster horde, once a crimson ocean, had completely evaporated.

At that moment, his heart finally settled.

But just then, he suddenly noticed injured Blood Breath Beasts getting to their feet at the edge of the blast zone.

The bodies of these Blood Breath Beasts began to swell, then metamorphose, evolving one by one into an elite-tier.

"What’s happening?"

Long Ming said in shock.

"What is it?"

Luoxue and the others were startled by Long Ming’s words.

"Quick, look at the surviving Blood Breath Beasts! They seem to be evolving,"

Long Ming said to Luoxue and the others.

Startled, Luoxue and the others looked over and saw a large number of surviving Blood Breath Beasts evolving into an elite-tier.

"You’ve got to be kidding me. What is this?"

Jing Chuan and the others were dumbfounded.

Then, more and more Blood Breath Beasts charged toward the center of the radiation zone, where they lay motionless on the ground.

This abnormal behavior immediately caught Qian Luobing’s attention. She turned to Jiang Huai and said,

"Jiang Huai, deploy your drone. Film the Blood Breath Beasts gathering in the radiation zone."

"Yes, ma’am!"

Jiang Huai, after a moment’s surprise, immediately deployed a small drone and sent it flying over.

The video feed came through moments later.

It showed large numbers of Blood Breath Beasts gathered in the radiation zone, basking in the fallout while gnawing on the corpses of their kin.

Their bodies were rapidly mutating.

Among them, a few of the elite-tier Blood Breath Beasts began evolving toward a general-tier.

Jiang Huai’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he watched. He exclaimed in shock,

"Miss, these monsters are absorbing the radiation to evolve!"

"How can this be?"

Adika and the others were stunned.

Just then, Luoxue hurried over to Qian Luobing with Long Ming and the others in tow, saying anxiously,

"Sister, the monsters have evolved."

"I see that,"

Qian Luobing said in a grim voice.

"So what do we do now?"

Luoxue asked, looking at Qian Luobing.

Although the Nuclear Bombs had wiped out most of the horde, they had also created a large batch of elite-tier Blood Breath Beasts, and possibly even higher-level monsters.

It was impossible to tell if the situation had improved or worsened.

"We wait and see. Everyone, use this time to rest and regroup,"

Qian Luobing ordered coldly.

"Yes, ma’am!"

Everyone voiced their assent.

Just then, the streamer Nansi also noticed the anomaly. She aimed her camera at the surviving Blood Breath Beasts and exclaimed in shock,

"Oh my god, the Blood Breath Beasts are evolving!"

"No way!"

"How is that possible?"

"Weren’t they all wiped out?"

...

The public, who had been celebrating just moments before, was suddenly dumbfounded.

「In the Mountain City Mountain conference room.」

City Lord Qian Luo watched the returning live feed and couldn’t help but start coughing violently.

"Cough, cough."

"Father, are you alright?"

Qian Ying asked with concern.

"I’m fine,"

City Lord Qian Luo said, forcing himself to appear strong.

"Father, something isn’t right. We used half of our Nuclear Bombs, and while it did break the horde, these things are actually using the radiation to evolve,"

Qian Ying said to City Lord Qian Luo with great unease.

City Lord Qian Luo fell silent for several seconds before speaking in a hoarse voice.

"It seems we still underestimated these Blood Breath Beasts."

"Then what should we do?"

Qian Ying asked worriedly.

"There’s no need to rush. Although these Blood Breath Beasts have evolved, their numbers are much smaller. For now, we wait and see!"

City Lord Qian Luo was remarkably composed.

"Yes, Father!"

Qian Ying replied quickly.
