Chapter 121 The King of Hell's Call - But the Missile Version
The veteran had barely finished speaking.
"boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, an extremely thick pillar of fire, mixed with orange-red tail flames and thick white smoke, soared into the sky from the highest point of several skyscraper ruins in the heart of Manhattan!
The enormous kinetic energy that shot into the sky created a wake that even drew out a clearly visible shock cloud several kilometers away in the sky.
Before the eyes of all the Blackwatch soldiers, who looked as if they had seen a ghost, a heavy missile with a rugged and violent aesthetic tore through the virus haze of Manhattan and hurtled toward their position like a falling meteor.
Tracking Missile
[Source Module: ICBM Intercontinental Missile Classic Edition]
[Features: Built-in radar and infrared dual-locking mechanism, capable of automatically finding and tracking biological heat sources or radar emission sources within a certain range, causing extremely high-explosive damage over an extremely wide area.]
It did not fly aimlessly into the sky, nor did it make any abrupt bends that defy the laws of physics, as seen in third-rate science fiction movies.
It drew an extremely elegant and perfectly aerodynamic parabola in mid-air.
During its supersonic flight, the entire massive missile resembled a falcon that had locked onto its prey high in the sky and then folded its wings, completing a smooth, high-speed maneuver and dive turn!
"Beep beep beep—!"
Although people on the ground could not hear the radar lock-on sound from inside the missile, everyone could feel the chill that swept over them.
The guidance radar at the tip of the warhead instantly locked onto the giant mutated worm below, which had been blown to pieces and was trying to burrow back into the ground to escape.
However, the Blackwatchers were unaware that the missile was not actually targeting the clumsy worm used as a means of transportation.
At this very moment, deep within the abdominal cavity of this giant mutated worm, filled with highly acidic mucus and foul-smelling biomass.
A pair of amber vertical pupils, radiating high intelligence, tyranny, and an extremely anthropomorphic fear, suddenly opened.
This is a super hunter.
As a high-level command sequence evolved from the Blacklight virus, it not only possesses a massive size more than twice that of an ordinary hunter and an even more indestructible carbon fiber skeleton, but more importantly, it possesses intelligence no less than that of humans.
It could clearly feel the deadly sense of being locked on from above.
That was the gaze of death. That "monster" in human skin was chasing after us again!
The super hunter's mind was uncontrollably flashing back to the one-sided massacre that had occurred ten minutes earlier in the basement of Pennsylvania Station.
Originally, it was a perfect ambush.
It led a group of hundreds of elite hunters and used tunnels to massacre the Blackwatch's 4th Armored Battalion in a short time.
They will tear those tin cans to shreds in five minutes, turning the fresh meat inside into their own nourishment.
Until, like a meteorite from outer space, the man crashed through the station ceiling and landed in the center of the horde of corpses.
"That's not human at all!"
That was the only thought that crossed the mind of this super hunter at that moment.
Watching his painstakingly built army of hundreds of hunters being mowed down like mobs in less than three minutes, the super hunter's virus-filled heart experienced the emotion called "fear" for the first time.
Escape! We must escape!
It decisively abandoned all its subordinates as cannon fodder, immediately summoned several "excavation-type transport mutants" lurking deep underground, and without hesitation crawled into the belly of one of them, splitting into several groups and fleeing frantically outwards.
Just now, during the evacuation, it heard terrifying explosions coming from several other blocks in Manhattan.
That was the sound of the other bait worms being targeted and detonated by the man using tracking missiles.
It thought it had escaped far enough, and was even about to break out of Manhattan's blockade.
But now, that deadly whooshing sound came from above again, and it had locked onto it firmly!
"roar!!!"
A powerful survival instinct prevailed over everything. The super hunter knew that if it continued to hide in this thin layer of flesh, it would only be completely vaporized by a high-explosive warhead.
At the critical moment when the missile in the sky was less than 100 meters from the ground!
"Sizzle—!"
The giant worm's already mangled back was suddenly and brutally torn open from the inside by a pair of huge, black claws!
Amidst the horrified gazes of the Blackwatch soldiers, an enormous super hunter, covered in grotesque bone spikes and bathed in a nauseating orange-yellow fluid, burst forth from the worm's body like a demon descending to earth!
Its powerful, retractable hind limbs slammed onto the worm's spine, and with the force of the impact, its massive body transformed into a black afterimage, hurtling towards the ruins of the buildings on the side of the crossroads in an almost ground-hugging flight!
And just 0.1 seconds after the super hunter leaped out of the mother body and escaped the center of the explosion.
"Swoosh 1"
19
The exhaust plume of the main thruster suddenly surged, and the high-explosive missile with tracking capabilities, like a dart of death, drew a straight white trail of smoke in the air.
With a terrifying speed of several Mach and the kinetic energy to destroy everything, it plunged headfirst into the enormous body of the worm that was still writhing in pain!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A massive, extremely bright orange-red fireball suddenly rose up in the middle of the street, transforming into a miniature mushroom cloud that bloomed amidst the city ruins.
A violent high-explosive shockwave, carrying deadly temperatures of over a thousand degrees, swept across the entire area like a tsunami.
"Lie down!!!"
The Blackwatch commander only had time to let out a distorted scream.
A strong wind swept through. Two Stryker armored vehicles closer to the explosion's epicenter were flipped over like matchboxes in the gale, rolling four or five times before crashing heavily into a load-bearing wall.
At the same time, the glass curtain walls of the surrounding buildings were shattered, turning into a deadly rain of glass that poured down from the sky.
The giant worm, as large as a mountain, was completely blasted into a shower of flesh and blood by this precise "divine intervention."
It didn't even have a chance to heal its wounds. In the scorching heat, it let out a final, extremely mournful scream before collapsing with a crash, turning into a large pile of charred, rotten flesh that reeked of roasted meat.
"Cough cough cough—Damn it! That giant monster that crawled out of my stomach isn't dead! It's run into the ruins at the twelve o'clock position!"
The adjutant, who had climbed up from behind the overturned armored vehicle, wiped the dirt off his gas mask and shouted, pointing to the ruins not far away.
In that split second, although the super hunter was thrown over by the aftershocks of the explosion, it managed to withstand the shockwave thanks to its strong carbon fiber skeleton. Now it is crawling up from the rubble, preparing to continue its escape.
"Ignore it! It's not coming for us! Retreat! Get out of this hellhole!"
The commander's mental defenses were on the verge of collapse. Even with the super hunter right in front of him, he couldn't muster the slightest courage to fire. He knew very well that anything capable of scaring away such a dominant monster was definitely a god they couldn't afford to mess with!
However, the sky seemed determined not to give them a chance to breathe.
"Sir—Commander—"
A sniper responsible for monitoring the sky lowered his high-powered scope with trembling hands, his voice filled with a sense of utter despair as if his worldview had been completely shattered.
"Another one is coming from the three o'clock direction—the sky—"
"What?!"
The commander turned his head sharply and looked in the direction the sniper was pointing.
On the distant horizon, another streak of flame shot skyward.
The second missile was tearing through the dark red sky of Manhattan, hurtling towards the intersection.
But this time, what made everyone's scalp tingle and even made them wonder if they had inhaled an excessive amount of virus and were hallucinating was not the missile itself.
It's the "thing" on the missile.
Give me the binoculars!
The commander snatched the binoculars and aimed the sights at the missile that was rapidly approaching from high altitude.
Under the extreme magnification of the optical lenses, the commander witnessed the most absurd and physics-defying scene in his life, and even in the history of human warfare.
Directly above the heavy missile flying at supersonic speed.
There was a person standing there!
It was a blurry human-shaped image.
He stood firmly on the smooth missile body with his feet on the ground and crossed his arms over his chest.
"My God—"
"What exactly is this thing?"
