You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 107
Chapter 107: The Gap Between Me And The Cultivation World
At the Pacific Ocean Floor, Ghost Race Military Headquarters, the Ghost Commander is closely monitoring the situation.
The East Sea situation is already much ado about nothing; after all, the Ghost Commander cannot make too many sacrifices for a feint, so now, his attention is on the West.
Watching his Gene Awakening troops, obtained after a bl00d sacrifice of over ten thousand of his own people, gradually being eroded by lightning, he immediately became restless.
“Central Asia War Zone! Immediately launch weather balloons! Quickly disperse this lightning! ”
Though he yelled, he still had doubts about this lightning.
Why is it only striking his own people? Why isn’t it striking the opposing humans?
Or, did the opposing genetically modified troops unlock more gene locks than his own genetically modified troops, and have already mastered the power to control lightning at will?
After the Ghost Race prepared the weather balloons and successfully launched them, the lightning in the sky really did…
Disperse.
The Ghost Commander breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that the rescue was timely, then relaxed, and continued to observe the situation.
Logically, Heavenly Tribulations are very long-lasting; short ones last a few hours, long ones a day or two, or even a week.
But the simplified pirated version of the Heavenly Tribulation Su Qin’an temporarily bought from the system is enough! What more could one want?
Well, if one has to say the reason, it’s that… General Meng and the others’ Heavenly Tribulation energy was insufficient.
However, even this pirated Heavenly Tribulation played a huge role. You must know that the Heavenly Tribulation had disappeared at some unknown point, so this Heavenly Tribulation was truly a miracle. Except for the cultivators who were seriously injured by the indiscriminate lightning at the beginning, Su Qin’an’s side had zero casualties.
In contrast, the Ghost Race suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Let alone the follow-up troops such as transport vehicles, just the genetically modified troops that were constantly fighting the cultivators, about two thousand were killed by lightning alone. Other airplanes and tanks suffered even more miserably.
To make matters worse for the Ghost Race, Su Qin’an’s reinforcements, an army of ten thousand mech warriors personally dispatched by the Ministry of Defense, had arrived.
The red and black technological glow shone brightly, instantly illuminating a vast area, captivating the hearts of all the people.
All the people watching the Western Front situation, whether through a live broadcast or television rebroadcast, were captivated by this dazzling light.
Moreover, the Western war was globally live-streamed, visible to all surviving nations, showcasing how China single-handedly fought the Ghost Race, while others could only passively defend.
The mechs engaged in combat as soon as they arrived on the battlefield. From a distance, they used the cannons protruding from their chests to bombard, and at closer range, used the gun barrels on their arms to fire. When they were within arm’s reach of the enemy, all the mechs extended their glowing lightsabers, slicing through the Ghost Race as easily as cutting meat.
Although the Ghost Race had physical attack damage reduction, their gene lock opening level was far behind the genetically modified troops, and they couldn’t withstand these elite mechs.
However, the Ghost Race army also had troops equipped with exoskeletons, and soon there were troops to counter the mech army.
But for China, the main force hadn’t arrived yet; the mech troops were only the vanguard.
Countless transport vehicles were already in the Western region, heading toward the battlefield. Innumerable tanks and airplanes were also heading toward the battlefield.
Some people had even begun to utilize advanced technology to locate the Ghost Race bases in Central Asia.
These were just the surface actions of China that everyone could see. What people couldn’t see were the reserve soldiers being put on standby, retired soldiers being recalled, a surge in military equipment production, missiles and nuclear weapons being readied, and the BeiDou system remaining operational and on standby…
In short, everything was operating under Level One combat readiness.
As early as when he first learned of the Ghost Race’s attack, Zhang Keqiang understood that China and the Ghost Race would definitely have a tough fight, and more than one.
When China first fought the Ghost Race, Zhang Keqiang had already recommended that the nation enter Level One combat readiness. However, at the time, fearing public panic, it wasn’t publicized.
Now that the war has reached the doorstep, there’s no need to hide it. Forty million troops are on standby, and various advanced weapons are ready, just waiting for the Ghost Race.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were too many of his own people on the battlefield, and the Western battlefield came rather suddenly, Zhang Keqiang actually wanted to first launch some DF Missiles at them.
This plan won’t work in the West, but the East Sea…
Glancing at the Ghost Race army, which was all show and no substance, Zhang Keqiang sneered, grabbed the walkie-talkie beside him, and said: “DF Express, aim at the East Sea, find the target group, and hit them hard! ”
“Received! ”
Instantly, countless dazzling fireworks bloomed in the East Sea, bringing a wave of joy to the people.
Naturally, the Ghost Race has weapons to intercept missiles, but these were useless.
Because the trajectory of China’s missiles followed the Qian’s Trajectory, which no one in the world could crack.
The starting and ending points are fixed, but the trajectory in between is completely random. Uncle Sam spent a lot of effort trying to crack Qian’s Trajectory, but after all these years, they still haven’t achieved anything.
Due to the global live broadcast of the war, the President of the United States, far away, could also see the bright red on the Chinese Western battlefield.
“Is this… the mech from their news reports before? ”
The President of the United States furrowed his brows, staring at the mechs’ actions, wondering what he was thinking: “It’s already on such a large scale? ”
Watching the mechs cut down the Ghost Race like cutting melons and vegetables, and then glancing at the dust behind the mechs, the President of the United States couldn’t help but feel a wave of panic.
His own country could only passively defend against the Ghost Race, and even though they had painstakingly purchased plasma shields from China, the situation wasn’t much better.
But how did China just strike from within the shield?
And that dust…
He had carefully watched every Chinese military parade. Just now, in that fleeting glimpse, he saw many unfamiliar faces that hadn’t been there a few years ago.
China’s development in these years has far exceeded his expectations.
What most attracted his attention was the seven thousand cultivator army.
Regardless of gender, each person was covered in bl00d, their own bl00d, and the bl00d of their comrades.
Even cultivators, in a massive army, can hardly stay unscathed.
But in the eyes of the President of the United States, these were not the key points.
The key point was that the Huaxia Cultivation World could take the initiative to attack for those ordinary people who had nothing to do with them, going outside the safe shield to bravely fight. And there was sufficient trust between the Chinese authorities and the Huaxia Cultivation World, ensuring sufficient follow-up reinforcements.
But in contrast, what about his side, or places outside of China?
Take the Saintly Radiance sect in Uncle Sam’s homeland, for example. At most, they would only go on a rampage when the Ghost Race threatened their territory, beating up the Ghost Race. Once the Ghost Race retreated, they would go back to their own affairs, with a distinct air of unconcern.
Unlike the Huaxia Cultivation World, fighting to the death for ordinary people!
And some time ago, that golden light that shone across the entire Northern Hemisphere from China.
Based on the President of the United States’s non-in-depth and very superficial understanding of Chinese cultivation novels and cultivation civilization, he could probably guess that there was a powerful cultivator in the Huaxia Cultivation World who was deploying a formation.
And what was the purpose of the formation?
What else could it be!
Moreover, besides resisting the Ghost Race, although Saintly Radiance’s activities in the public eye weren’t many, the President of the United States was very clear about the dirty things they did.
Forcibly seizing followers was the most basic thing!
They are both in the cultivation world, how can the difference be so big?
The President of the United States sighed involuntarily.
If you weren’t from the same country as us, I would have said a few more words!
