My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 325 - 322 The Golden Giant Eagle

Chapter 325: Chapter 322: The Golden Giant Eagle

Chapter 325 -322: The Golden Giant Eagle

Tiannan Province, once among the top three most populous provinces in Daxia Country before the apocalypse, maintained considerable strength even after the apocalypse struck.

The provincial capital, Jing City, which had a permanent population of over ten million before the catastrophe, was promptly aided by the military, who managed to save most of the survivors. With their formidable power and a gathering effect, the city gained more residents over time. Now, centered around the Sanctuary of Jing City, a Defense Circle houses over five million survivors.

Among them are five hundred thousand Awakeners!

Even though the vast majority couldn’t break through the bottleneck of the Fifth Tier, it was still a terrifying number. There was a time when no Demonized Beast could be found in the vicinity of Jing City.

Outposts extending from the Defense Circle were built further and further away.

Some say that in a few months, Jing City could reclaim most of the lost territories within the region.

However, up until a few days ago when the weather changed, an influx of Demonized Beasts emerged from the Abyssal Rift near Jing City, and several outposts were destroyed, which halted the momentum of expansion.

These days, people are not talking about the paralysis of electronic devices, nor the surge in Demonized Beasts, but rather the continuous mountain range suspended in the sky.

“You ask me, this is definitely not a mirage! If the experts can explain it, why don’t they also explain the apocalypse and the Abyssal Rift?”

“Have you felt that in the past few days, there are more Flying Demonized Beasts in the wilderness, and many of them are mutated, and among those mountains, there are many large predatory birds.”

“Now that you mention it… could that mountain range actually be around Jing City, and what we see is not just an illusion?”

“I heard that some top Mercenary Corps and high-level powers have sent people to explore in the direction of the mountain range’s apparition.”

“Why?”

“Are you daft? Didn’t you see the majestic buildings in the Heavenly Mountain range? Those major forces must be racing for the treasure!”

In the Night Bar, the Awakeners had varied discussions.

“Let’s… we should also go… can’t let… them get there first.”

A big man with a twisted beard said while shaking his head.

Suddenly,

Boom!

A blast sounded from afar, the ground shook slightly, and the bearded big man didn’t sit steady and fell to the ground.

Someone rushed into the bar and shouted, “Quick, come out and look, the predatory birds are attacking!”

The blast was obviously the sound of an explosion, and the customers inside the bar had already sensed something was wrong. Hearing this, they all ran outside.

As one of Jing City’s most popular bars among Awakeners, Night Bar was located in the thriving Inner City commercial district, far from the city walls. However, the Awakeners were more agile than monkeys, climbing up burglar bars and rushing to the rooftops of the surrounding high-rise buildings.

The big man with the quivering beard, who was not in good shape, or the weaker ones, also found the stairs and quickly made their way to the top.

On the rooftop of the ten-story building, a cool breeze blew.

Everyone looked on in shock as various birds, blotting out the sky, swarmed in from afar.

The soldiers guarding the city walls had already reacted, anti-aircraft guns were firing non-stop, and there were even missiles exploding in the sky. But for some reason, possibly due to the events of the previous few days, Jing City’s anti-air defenses seemed somewhat insufficient.

Most of the flying creatures were shot down, but there were still a few that moved with great speed, flying over the Sanctuary. Some passed directly overhead, while others dove down towards the ground.

“What is that!”

“Shoot, shoot them down!”

People carrying firearms began their attack, but nowadays, smaller caliber guns were increasingly ineffective against various Demonized and Mutated Beasts.

Ability users capable of long-range attacks became the main force, but even so, Awakeners on the rooftops were occasionally pounced upon by predatory birds diving from the sky, pinned to the ground and savagely bitten.

Some quickly counterattacked with their strength, while others had their throats torn open, and some were snatched and dropped from high altitudes by the birds, with little chance of survival.

Most of the predatory birds were killed by the City Defense Army, yet in just a few short minutes, the Sanctuary still suffered many casualties.

The big bearded man killed quite a few predatory birds, his body now bloodied, and he had sobered up significantly.

The Awakener who had just mentioned predatory birds flying from the mountain apparition wished they could slap themselves.

Scream—

A gigantic shadow that blotted out the sun appeared high above, its golden feathers shining, wings spread over a hundred meters in length!

With one cry, it shattered the glass of numerous tall buildings.

Missiles roared out. The giant eagle with golden wings flapped once, instantaneously appeared a kilometer away, its spurred tornado-like a massive Wind Blade, even cutting a high-rise building in half at the waist.

The Energy-gathering Cannon was charged and aimed, but the golden eagle spent most of its time circling high above, beyond the range of the cannons. A mere flap of its wings caused massive destruction on the ground.

Jing City command center.

A middle-aged man with a stern face stared intently at the large screen, which was very blurry and occasionally flashed “no signal.” Nevertheless, the man watched with great concentration, his brows furrowing, and after a moment, he spoke, “Prepare to use the tactical nuclear bomb.”

“Commander, we’re too close to the Sanctuary!”

Several Satellite Cities had been established around Jing City, but they were not far enough away that if a nuclear bomb were detonated…

“The residents of the Satellite City have already entered the underground shelters, sufficient to avoid the blast from the nuclear bomb. A small yield nuclear bomb isn’t enough to kill that giant eagle. Our goal is to detonate the tactical nuclear bomb in the high altitude to force the eagle to lower its altitude and into the range of the Energy-gathering Cannon.”

“Bring the treasures from the Secret Realm as well. We must restrict the giant eagle’s mobility to ensure a one-hit kill, otherwise, we may not have another chance.”

…

High in the sky, the gold eagle that was about to dive again suddenly turned its head to look into the distance, letting out an angry cry.

Although it was just a sharp call, the Awakeners far away in Jing City could sense the anger contained within it.

“What is that?”

In the sky, a black dot was rapidly fleeing.

“Is that a human? No, wrong, it has eight arms!”

The speed of the Eight-Armed Black Demon was extreme; with every shimmer, it appeared hundreds of meters away. However, the golden eagle was even faster, catching up in just seconds.

The Awakeners couldn’t see clearly, only a golden shadow darting back and forth in the sky, with loud impacts reverberating from time to time.

Boom!

The ground trembled violently.

Standing on the rooftop, the Awakeners could see a massive cloud of dust rising from the horizon. If they were closer, they might see the ground had been smashed into a large pit, stretching over tens of miles, completely fractured.

The human-like shadow flew out of the hole, continuing to flee, the angry cry of the golden eagle could be heard even over ten kilometers away.

Gradually, the two figures disappeared into the distance.

Whether it was the Awakeners who witnessed it all or the Military high command in the headquarters, their backs were drenched in sweat.

They thought that after several months of development, humanity had gradually gained the power to dominate their own destiny. Yet, in the face of such high-level creatures, even the Awakeners remained as insignificant as ever.

…

The next day.

Territory.

Tang Yu pinched the Image Retention Crystal in his hand, which was a video recorded by Lorraine who had daringly approached the scene in Jing City.

The footage in the Image Retention Crystal was crystal clear, even allowing for 360-degree rotation. Precisely because of this, Tang Yu felt deeply the terror of the two Transcendent level creatures.

He didn’t understand why the golden eagle was so desperate to chase the Eight-Armed Black Demon, but if it hadn’t, the Sanctuary in Jing City might not have survived the ordeal.

“Would we be able to handle it if it happened in the Territory?”

Tang Yu pondered, suddenly revealing a look of joy on his face.

The three squads sent out to search for the Secret Realm had brought back news; Red Moon had found an entrance!

He dared not delay, immediately rushing towards the Transmission Array.
