My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 148: Tragedy

Machine guns roared by ears, and from time to time, shells whizzed overhead.

Luo Gang oversaw the entire situation, commanding the various troops.

"Good, the first battalion advance toward Xincheng District, the second and the third battalions advance toward the Luohu District, and we must drive the Demonized Beasts back to the Abyssal Rift!"

This appearance of the Abyssal Rift was completely unexpected, and over half of the area of the Sanctuary was damaged, with countless survivors dead or injured.

Thinking of this, Luo Gang's heart bled. Every minute and second, in other districts where the military hadn't reached, countless survivors were dying, but he understood the priorities. If they couldn't stop the surge of Demonized Beasts from the Abyssal Rift, even if they could save the survivors in other districts now, eventually, the Sanctuary would be destroyed anyway.

"If we could surround the Abyssal Rift, just like what was once done in the north..."

Boom!

A purple beam shot out from afar, hitting a tank, and the next second, the tank was pierced by the beam, bursting into a ball of fire.

Luo Gang's expression changed, and before he could speak, countless purple beams shot out from the horde of Demonized Beasts.

As the core strength, the main battle tanks, which had not lost much since the fight began, suffered heavy losses in an instant.

If this continued, the whole front would collapse.

"Cannon team, set coordinates, bombard!"

Countless shells fell, fierce firelight erupted, and the booming sound echoed.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Luo Gang's gaze sharpened.

Around the area where the shells had landed, ordinary Demonized Beasts were almost completely dead or wounded. However, in the center, under the cover of a purple crystalline wall, a dozen eyeball-like Demonized Beasts were unharmed.

The purple crystalline wall flickered several times and then gradually faded.

Among the dozen Evil Eyes, the one that was a circle larger, with dark red legs, had purple light flickering in its pupils. After a few breaths, energy gathered in front of its body, and a thick beam of light was fired.

It seemed as if the world was left with only this dazzling purple.

Wherever the beam passed, whether tanks, soldiers, Awakeners, or Demonized Beasts, as well as any obstructions like buildings, all were vaporized without exception.

Only a deep trench remained on the ground, and the gap in the military formation that had been penetrated by the beam, letting everyone understand this was not an illusion.

Panic!

Horror!

As the wind blew, a soldier who had enlisted after the apocalypse watched dumbfounded as the trench swept past his feet and where countless lively lives had once stood.

Dazed, his facial expression changed until, contorted, he let out a cry, threw down his weapon, and fled as if mad.

On another side of the formation, Luo Gang also froze.

If he had been where the beam had struck just now, even though he was in the middle of the formation, he would not have escaped; this power was truly frightening!

Luo Gang looked far off. The Evil Eye that had just emitted the beam seemed somewhat wilted now, yet he didn't know if it had exhausted its power. Putting aside everything else, just one or two more such attacks, and their whole troop would collapse. By then, it wouldn't be mere talk of driving the Demonized Beasts back; hardly any survivors in the Sanctuary would be likely to escape alive.

Without needing his orders, the personnel behind controlling the cannons, after their initial fright, immediately reloaded, and the narrow cannon barrels spewed out firelight accompanied by a whistling sound as the shells fell precisely once again.

Luo Gang's eyes widened, watching intently.

However, when the smoke cleared, what appeared before them was still a purple crystalline wall, like a large bowl overturned, securely protecting the dozen or so eyeballs inside, impervious to the bombardment.

A young man with distinct features, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's, looked at the distant Evil Eyes and spoke. "Commander, let me take people there."

He was the Commander of the Awakeners' battle group, the strongest Awakener in the entire Yun City Sanctuary!

However, Luo Gang immediately refused, "No! That Demonized Beast, based on energy estimates, has at least the strength of Tenth Layer Awakeners; going there will only..."

The young Commander's expression was impassioned, "Those eyeballs are long-range type Demonized Beasts; if we can get close, there's a good chance to kill them! Commander, this is the only way now; if we delay any further, the brothers won't be able to hold on!"

Luo Gang stared, looking at the young face before him.

This young man, named Qin Yu, had just turned twenty this year.

He remembered the smile spread over his face when he first enlisted, also the crazy fierceness with which he fought the Demonized Beasts at the beginning of the apocalypse.

He even remembered when the Awakeners' battle group was established, Qin Yu standing on the stage, hysterically swearing an oath to kill all the Demonized Beasts and to avenge those fallen comrades.

How could he not know what would happen if he went?

Guns and cannons fired all around, the Demonized Beasts roared incessantly, and the military formation kept retreating. Every second, countless lives were lost under the Demonized Beasts.

Luo Gang's throat moved, his mouth opened, and finally, it turned into a somewhat choked voice, "...Alright."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Qin Yu stood straight, saluted, and then turned to leave.

As usual when he rushed to the battlefield,, but this time, it was different.

The whooshing sound of the cannon's shells once again streaked across the sky, this time the shells didn't land on the Evil Eye, but exploded in the dense crowd of Demonized Beasts ahead.

Under a blur of blood and flesh, a blood path was blasted through the Demon Tide.

"Charge!"

Qin Yu took the lead, shooting out like a cannonball, wielding a Combat Saber forged from Transcendent Metal, and wherever he passed, all Demonized Beasts were cleaved in two!

Under the protection of others, this elite squad, composed of many experts, charged into the Demon Tide like a sharp arrow, brutally piercing through the herd of Demonized Beasts!

The Evil Eye also noticed this scene.

The leading Evil Eye still seemed listless; the other Evil Eyes, however, fired purple beams.

"Kill!"

A Fire Series Awakener shouted, his entire body already completely ablaze, he pushed forward with both hands, turning the area in front of him into a sea of flames.

Purple beams shot over, piercing through half his body, but the Fire Series Awakener did not fall. The sea of fire steamed, the color becoming even more vividly red.

He wrapped himself with the sea of fire, turning his entire body into a huge fireball, flying into the crowd of Demonized Beasts.

"Commander... I'm sorry, the rest... is up to you now."

Boom!

The ground turned to magma, swathes of Demonized Beasts dying.

Qin Yu's eyes reddened.

His body, like a hurricane, picked up countless chunks of flesh, and he finally faced off against the group of Evil Eyes. Dazzling white light burst from his Combat Saber, whoosh... like the screech of steel friction, his saber chopped down, purple crystal barriers burst, an ordinary Evil Eye was instantaneously killed.

Qin Yu did not stop, he went straight for the largest Evil Eye, the madness in his eyes deepening.

He vanished in a flash, appearing in front of the oversized Evil Eye, and chopped down!

Zi... Bang!

White light met purple crystal barrier, this time, however, it couldn't break through, but was instead repelled.

Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, even more frenzied, holding his saber in both hands, he blurred into afterimages.

A ground-elevating tornado sprung up, bladed light danced, and the ground became crisscrossed with slashes, split inch by inch.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!

Qin Yu's Sword Light slashed from all angles, but no matter where it fell, a palm-sized purple crystal barrier emerged, firmly blocking his blade.

Suddenly.

From the tip of the eyeball, a thin, finger-thick purple beam shot out.

Whoosh!

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

The world turned black and white in an instant.

Qin Yu, moving so fast that only his afterimage was visible, paused, involuntarily fell backward.

Looking down, he found his heart area had been pierced.

Blood trickled down.

He seemed to see a mocking look in the Evil Eye's gaze.

As if it were ridiculing him for his overconfidence.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment, surrounding sounds gradually fading away along with those familiar cries, sinking into the depths of his heart.

Yet, Qin Yu smiled.

With his last bit of strength, he pulled the switch on his body.

His clothes, torn to shreds and stained with blood, slowly fluttered down, revealing the ring of Source Crystal bombs tied around his waist.

The crystals burst forth with bright, white radiance.

Boom!!!!

As if the heavens and earth lost their color, a dazzling brilliance filled the entire visual field.

It seemed a voice was saying,

"I... have not failed."
