Chapter 184 -s 180, 181 The Last Resort (Extra for hbhbjibibio the Leader and Monthly Ticket)_2
“Fire the torpedoes,” the surrounding warships were still intercepting, but with little success.
“At this rate, they’ll soon enter the Rikugun River and then into the mainland through the river!” Harvey shouted, “Move all your ships here, block them, no matter what!”
Ishii Koji knew that sending the warships to block them now would certainly result in losing more than half. But there was no choice left, so he could only order, “All ships, tighten the attack perimeter, and defend the estuary with all you’ve got!”
The ships pulled back and went wild with bombing at the estuary, on both the ocean floor and the surface without a moment’s pause. Sometimes, gigantic monsters could be seen blasted into the air, their bodies torn apart!
They had a total of four quasi-aircraft carrier-class ships, plus several destroyers and escort ships, and they finally managed to blockade the underwater defense line.
“Did we block it?” Everyone was at the peak of their nerves.
The satellites and ocean detectors showed that under the heavy bombardment, the number of Zerg attackers had already been reduced by half.
Just then, new Zerg appeared on the beach.
They were black-shelled bugs, larger than the red and blue-shelled bugs! Each had a size comparable to a heavy-duty truck!
Looking at their thick shells, it’s estimated that even anti-tank missiles couldn’t penetrate them!

A missile flipped a black-shelled bug over but it quickly righted itself and continued advancing.
“Level five, at least level five Zerg! Conventional artillery can’t harm them anymore!” Song Jinhong exclaimed upon witnessing this.
“There are at least a hundred black-shelled bugs, their coastal defense can’t hold!” He Hongwei stated.
Indeed, when they found that even artillery couldn’t harm the black-shelled bugs, the defending soldiers were thrown into panic!
This time, only ship-to-ground missiles could kill them, but hitting them was incredibly difficult due to their high-speed, unpredictable movements.
At the coastal defense line, a black-shelled bug charged into the positions, defying heavy machine gun and tank bombardment.
It could not only spray acid but had enormous pincers that could crush even a tank!
When a hundred black-shelled bugs led three thousand other bugs in an assault, the coastal defense line collapsed instantly!
“The defense line is breached, the Zerg have landed!” Ishii Koji’s face turned ashen, and the moment the line was broken, he knew this defensive battle was lost!
“We can destroy these black-shelled bugs!” Jonah said, “Carpet bomb the entire Diaozi District with air-to-ground missiles!”
“This…” Ishii Koji immediately realized the consequences of such an action, which would turn the entire area into scorched earth!
Not only residents here but everyone on the island would condemn his actions.
“You have thirty seconds to think it over,” Jonah said.
It didn’t take thirty seconds, Ishii Koji made his choice. He ordered, “Everyone follow the order, abandon the coastal defense line and retreat to the second land-based defense line! In ten minutes, this place will be carpet-bombed!”
The second defense line was a complete inland defense line. This meant the land here had already been conquered by the Zerg!
And they had failed!
“A wise choice,” Jonah immediately prepared the bombing forces.
The frontline soldiers hurriedly retreated, but many still fell into the Zerg’s maw, torn to pieces!
When they retreated to the second defense line, the air-to-ground missiles launched on time, annihilating every inch of the Diaozi District! Bug, human structure, natural landscape, nothing could survive!
Under such firepower, most of the bugs were naturally exterminated as well.
But Ishii Koji knew this time they had lost!
Because the satellite showed many bugs had bypassed the underwater defense through the land and entered the rivers and lakes.
They had already infiltrated human territory, and it was impossible to completely clear them out.
The battle was ongoing. Subsequent Zerg, eighty or ninety percent, were bombed to death.
And they had lost over half of their ships, with only one of the four quasi-aircraft carrier-class warships remaining! The rest were sunk by the Zerg!
As one gigantic eel-like Zerg was killed by a missile from Bai Ying’s carrier, the Zerg in the ocean began to retreat.
Yet, mutant creatures still spread nearby.
“Finally repelled them!” Harvey wiped a cold sweat from his brow, he was always worried that another Deep Sea Giant Beast like last time would appear, lucky for them, it didn’t.
“We’ve held on,” Jonah also sighed in relief, “Now we can clear up the monsters.”
“Commander, there are reports of a large number of Zerg entering Tokyo Bay!” someone reported.
“We intercepted most of them, but some bugs slipped into the sea mud of Tokyo Bay, beyond our attack range!” Hearing this, Ishii Koji almost passed out.
Tokyo Bay and its coastline were the most prosperous areas of the whole Sakura Island.
Several major cities were along the Tokyo Bay coast. The Zerg actually took advantage of the estuary attack, splitting off forces to rush into Tokyo Bay.
Moreover, they were smart, choosing not to clash with humans anymore, instead lurking in the seabed mud, making it hard for humans to find or harm them.
“Defeated, we were defeated in this battle!” Ishii Koji said sorrowfully, “We failed to stop them on land, and though we held the estuary, they entered Tokyo Bay.”
“These creatures will evolve and breed under our noses! When they reappear, we will face true doomsday!”
…
“They failed to defend!” Across Shen Zhou, the Xuanwu Executive Officers had witnessed the entire process, their mood unspeakably heavy.
This time, they had employed vast amounts of modern weaponry and still allowed the Zerg to break through inland.
He Xingzhou said, “These bugs never intended to annihilate humanity all at once; this was just a probing attack!”
Song Jinhong added, “The Zerg’s breeding capability is strong, and once they break through the coastal defense and enter the island, they can quickly reproduce in droves. Moreover, because these bugs live on land, they’ll activate biological evolution templates to adapt to the terrestrial environment!”
“They’ve also invaded Tokyo Bay; this battle is essentially the Zerg pre-plotting!”
Cui Weimin said, “These creatures are really tough to deal with!”
“Xuanwu, collect all data immediately and analyze!” He Xingzhou ordered, “The first battle has occurred, and it will soon be our turn!”
…
The situation on Sakura Island soon became known worldwide.
“Besides nuclear weapons, we’ve practically used all our other weapons!” Harvey reported to the leader, “The Zerg’s advantage is that they can attack as they wish, and retreat if they want! Under the sea, we can’t do anything to them!”
“We’ve collected a substantial amount of Zerg samples, shipping them to the biological lab for analysis!” Jonah stated, “We need to develop weapons that can easily kill the bugs!”
“The combat strength we deployed this time is no different from what we’d use in a homeland battle.”
“With our long coastline, the consequences of a Zerg invasion are unimaginable!”
After reviewing the war report, the leader was worried, gritting his teeth, “Immediately announce, start weapon expansion at once! Load warships, missiles, and armored vehicles to their fullest!”
…
The entire Sakura Island was engulfed in a wave of panic.
“A single Zerg attack nearly wiped out half of our strength!”
“Diaozi District wasn’t held, ultimately we used missile bombardment to drive them back!”
“The Zerg have landed on the island, from now on, we can no longer sleep soundly! They will follow rivers into mountains, countryside, and even cities!”
“This is the real doomsday! We are merely waiting to die!”
The media rushed to soothe the public, saying, “We successfully repelled the Zerg this time, and with this experience, we’ll be more successful next time!”
“All the factories nationwide have started production, and our equipment will be significantly increased in a short time!”
“The first battle caught us without combat experience, such a situation will not happen next time!”
“We are capable of defending Sakura Island!”
For now, most people didn’t have to face the Zerg head-on, and these panic-stricken emotions were temporarily calmed.
Elsewhere, observing the situation, others also panicked and began taking measures.
And when Korea learned of this news, they had no time for fear and response.
Because the Zerg force headed toward the Lodong River estuary was already nearing Busan!
At the estuary, they set up three lines of defense: an ocean defense, a beach defense, and a coastal defense.
After noting the information from Sakura Island, they urgently established a fourth defense line. This defense line was entirely land-based.
Once they decided to retreat, it represented a decision like Ishii Koji’s, choosing to slash flesh to survive!
