The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 664 - 657: The First Time

As the horizon began to show a dark edge, Ram knew the Serpent People’s Mothership had arrived.

Ram sat atop the tank, patting Nate who was on the turret, and with a shudder of his shoulders, Nate indicated he had seen it too.

Many people were seeing the Serpent People’s Mothership for the first time, but many others seemed indifferent to it, as everyone hailing from Shenzhou had seen this massive object always in the sky.

The entire convoy came to a halt, those inside the tanks, those in the armored vehicles, regardless of their progress, at this moment, everyone chose to stop and look up at the oppressive presence of the Mothership flying overhead.

The Mothership stopped above Djibouti, and having left Djibouti almost two hundred kilometers behind, Ram could see the side profile of the Mothership.

It hung in the air like a top hat, larger than a mountain peak, almost occupying half of the sky.

Ram stood up; he looked at the Mothership and whispered, "Let’s keep moving..."

There was no sound, no light, nor any seismic waves, but Ram saw two streaks of red light shoot up from the ground.

One streak of red light pierced straight through the curtain obscuring the sky, while the other disappeared in a flash in mid-air.

Ram’s mouth fell open, but Nate asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The most common question Nate asked that day was why.

The answer to Nate’s question was the deep rumbling roar and the seismic waves visible to the naked eye.

When the desert suddenly blew up steam-like sand and dust from far and near, Nate still hadn’t realized it was a seismic wave.

Ram was instantly at a loss for words, then hoarsely said, "This is the ’Plan Well Cap’!"

The red light soared into the sky, piercing directly into the Mothership, but whatever happened next, Ram couldn’t see.

Nate, looking utterly confused, asked, "What did you say?"

Ram stood up, his mouth wide open, and he trembled as he said, "Little Egg has gone too far; there are tens of thousands of people."

Nate grabbed Ram, then said urgently, "What the hell is going on! What’s this ’Plan Well Cap’?"

Ram lowered his voice and said, "Little Egg never intended to take prisoners; he never planned to spare the Sanitation Workers and the Graycloaks. Black Devil was like that, and so is Little Egg; I should have realized it earlier, I should have understood that when he asked me for command, he wanted to completely eradicate the Sanitation Workers, and the way to do it was ’Plan Well Cap’!"

Nate took a deep breath and said, "Can you explain what ’Plan Well Cap’ is? Tell me, was the Serpent People’s Mothership just hit?"

The Mothership still hovered in the air, the explosion had occurred, and then there were no further developments; everything seemed to have ended, yet it also seemed as if nothing had happened at all.

It was at that moment that Xinghe suddenly said, "It was hit, but the power wasn’t enough, not enough to destroy the Serpent People’s Mothership."

Ram looked at Xinghe, and then he said in a grave tone, "You’re saying it was hit?"

Xinghe nodded and said, "Clearly, they’ve hit the Serpent People’s Mothership, look."

Ram looked at the mothership again, and he seemed to see something similar to Mars falling from the Serpent People’s Mothership.

You must know that the distance was nearly two hundred kilometers away, so what he saw as tiny sparks from that distance must have been spectacular up close.

This meant that the Serpent People’s Mothership had sustained significant damage, but relative to the massive size of the mothership, the destruction caused by nuclear blasts seemed much less.

Ram was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do next, as this was the first time they were engaged in direct combat with the Serpent People.

Monsters and zombies could only be considered weapons of the Serpent People, killing countless of them was meaningless, but hitting the Serpent People’s Mothership, that must have been an attack on the Serpent People’s very being.

"Not a second to spare; I admire that about Poseidon," he said.

After this inexplicable remark, Nate turned to Ram and said, "Should we continue moving forward?"

Nate, who always had his own ideas, now lost the confidence he used to have in making unilateral decisions, and he was asking Ram, who didn’t know what to do, either.

Ram could only look to Xinghe.

Xinghe had left her mecha; her face was very pale, and she looked calm, but at that moment, she seemed very shocked.

"Since it was successful, the Serpent People’s Mothership won’t be able to move for a while. Crashing is out of the question, but no large spacefaring vessel can move with a damaged hull."

Xinghe looked at Ram and then smiled, "A civilization at least two levels behind managed to strike a more advanced one, and it was the main large aircraft at that. I want to congratulate you; humanity has created a miracle that’s never occurred before, even though this miracle doesn’t seem to be useful, but at least it’s defended human dignity."

Ram loudly said, "Do the Serpent People need to repair their mothership?"

Xinghe nodded and replied, "They must repair it, but it won’t take too long. Don’t ask me what the Serpent People will do next; I don’t know either."

Ram looked in Djibouti’s direction, knowing Yang Yi was in there, the Water Organization was in there, the Black Devil was also inside, as well as tens of thousands of Sanitation Workers.

He did not know what consequences the nuclear explosion would have, nor if the Serpent People would seek retaliation, but Ram knew Djibouti was doomed, and all the people in Djibouti were doomed as well.

Remorse or lament, that would be for later. As for now, it’s better not to waste time. Run as fast as you can, escape as far as you can manage.

The extent of the damage couldn’t be checked, the degree of damage to the mothership couldn’t be inspected, so this force, useless against the Serpent People, was left with no choice but to flee as quickly as possible.

Ram had been holding out here relentlessly, treating this place as a stronghold, a sanctuary in the apocalypse, but now, with the arrival of the Serpent People’s Mothership, it was no longer a viable refuge.

The battle had come to this stage; really, he didn’t know what else could be done. Maybe all that was left was to flee, to burrow into the sewers like Ol’Mouse, to hide in the forests, perhaps to hold out for a few more years, maybe even decades.

The civilization of humanity was bound to perish, but the surviving remnants of humankind would surely last a few decades more, becoming a species even rarer than protected animals, devoid of the chance to proliferate, living a lingering death until the very end, disappearing completely with the death of the last person.

Upon seeing the Serpent People’s Mothership, who knows how many people felt like Ram, their confidence shattered in an instant, their courage and belief in resistance thoroughly lost.

But the reason why Ram was Ram was that he occasionally felt he had already broken down, but it didn’t take him long to gather himself again.

Ram, who had felt utterly despondent, subconsciously grabbed his gun, and with that grip, his swiftly fading courage and belief surged back in an instant. Raising his hand, he shouted, "Keep moving forward, we continue on, the war isn’t over yet!"
