On the last day, the whole world was shrouded in a tense and delicate atmosphere.
The actions of the members of the Twelve Moon Palace have become the key factor in resisting unknown crises.
In addition to the deceased Chen Dong and Nangong Xue who is on the moon, there is another important figure who has not yet appeared, that is the second-ranked Ye Wentian, codenamed Shadow.
When Long Guo communicated with Wang Yuan and asked if he needed support, Wang Yuan simply responded: “You may need to prepare more food for him. As for the troops? Not at all. It is better to send the troops to other areas for support.”
Afterwards, Wang Yuan was also assigned to a position alone.
Since Wang Yuan, who was ranked third, was so confident, and everyone else had already witnessed Wang Yuan’s powerful strength, they naturally believed in the ability of Ye Wentian, who was ranked higher.
Time passes quickly like the sand in an hourglass, but the urgency must be borne by the soldiers on the front line.
Although residents in the mainland have heard various rumors, the vast majority of them still firmly believe that the country is capable of dealing with a crisis.
However, some people have begun to prepare for a rainy day and are busy buying vegetables and food, while more people choose to maintain their normal life, and at most buy two more boxes of instant noodles for emergencies.
At this moment, the designated defense location is a special coastline with flat ground up to several thousand meters high.
The original plan was to install heavy machine guns here and station a heavy combined brigade to garrison there, but as you look around, this place is unusually empty.
One of the teams was waiting here with a full cart of food.
The kitchen squad leader was full of confusion and couldn’t help but ask, “Does the superior mean that we only need to serve one person, and that there will only be a dozen of us guarding this coastline?”
As he spoke, he subconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it up and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, others also took out their own hidden cigarettes.
“Wow, this thing is really strong. I haven’t smoked it in a long time. This strong smoke is really satisfying.”
One of them sighed.
Fortunately, this is not a real frontier position. Otherwise, with so little cigarettes, even if they take turns smoking one, they still can’t satisfy their craving.
If everyone could smoke one, it would be a rare enjoyment. After all, no one knows whether they can live to the end of their lives.
According to the scheduled time, the fastest monster will reach the shore around early morning, so everyone must remain on high alert.
However, the target person who was responsible for their food was nowhere to be seen, which made everyone feel more and more uneasy.
If that person doesn’t show up by night, these dozen people may become the last line of defense. Even though there are artillery positions in the rear, no one knows whether they can call for support in time.
“Forget it, let’s cook our own meal first, and also prepare dinner for the evening. We’ll take turns to rest tomorrow night, so see who goes to bed first.” The squad leader said helplessly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and on this last day, most of the troops had entered their positions and were ready for battle. Even the super-powered people had arrived at their respective areas.
Night fell. At twelve o’clock in the evening, except for the soldiers in charge of changing guards, everyone else was taking a nap in the trenches.
After all, the battle may start at any time in the early morning, so it is crucial to maintain sufficient energy.
Sonars from countless front-line positions are constantly scanning the ocean, hoping to discover any traces of large amounts of petroleum as soon as possible.
At the same time, many nuclear submarines also received orders to anchor in the deep sea and use their installed object detection sonars to conduct uninterrupted monitoring of the surrounding waters.
While the whole world on the shore was on high alert, a completely different scene was happening in a huge rift valley ten thousand meters deep in the sea.
A figure sat quietly on the seabed, surrounded by a transparent foam. It was Ye Wentian.
He stared at the huge iron gate beside the seabed, with a leisurely look in his eyes.
“Beep.” The badge on Ye Wentian’s chest suddenly lit up. He tapped it lightly and the communication was connected instantly.”What’s wrong? Wang Yuan, are you bored of waiting? Those monsters haven’t come out yet.” Ye Wentian spoke first.
“Not out yet? Brother Ye, where are you now? You’re not at the prison gate, are you?” There was obvious surprise in Wang Yuan’s voice.
However, he quickly realized that with Ye Wentian’s ability, it was indeed much easier for him to come to the deep sea than himself, and with Ye Wentian’s ability, it seemed that he could really guard the gate and attack and kill, but he didn’t know how long he could hold on.
“Well, that’s it. I’m bored so I came here to wait. You guys can just rest assured. I’ll tell you when I can’t hold on any longer.”
After Ye Wentian finished speaking, he hung up the call.
He glanced at the time. It was already half past ten. Wasn’t it said that the monster would break out of the door at a very punctual time? It had already been half an hour, why was there still no movement?
“Hey, Shen Guang, what’s going on? Why hasn’t the cell door been opened yet? Did the president miscalculate the time?” Ye Wentian asked through the badge. Soon, he got a response.
“The gate is opening, but it’s opening too slowly. Wait.”
As the light of the badge dimmed, Ye Wentian curled his lips and then simply lay down.
He looked at the iron door that seemed to be opened only about one centimeter, and slowly closed his eyes.
Behind that rusty iron door, there is a world completely beyond imagination.
There is no sunlight here, only endless darkness and coldness, as if it is the entrance to hell.
The iron gate slowly opened, making a harsh friction sound, and the scene behind the door appeared before one’s eyes, which was chilling.
There are countless giant crustaceans, several meters or even dozens of meters tall. Their shells are as hard as iron and flash with cold light.
These creatures pushed and bit each other, and let out bursts of roars, as if they were desperately fighting for the qualification to be the first to walk out of the iron gate.
Next to these giant crustaceans, there are some creepy mollusks. Their bodies are soft and slimy, twisting and wriggling, giving people goose bumps.
These mollusks were also struggling frantically, trying to squeeze through the narrow iron door.
The roars and collisions of these creatures echoed in the deep sea, forming a strange and terrifying rhythm, like a symphony from hell.
However, in this horrifying scene, the next second, a disc-shaped creature suspended in mid-air suddenly appeared.
This disc-shaped creature is hundreds of meters in diameter and looks like a moving black fortress.
Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, without any obvious features, only circles of faint halos flowing around it.
This disc-shaped creature seemed to be attracted by the movement here and slowly floated over, like a ghost wandering in the darkness.
The creatures that were fighting fiercely below stopped their actions instantly, and their eyes were focused on the disc creature that suddenly appeared.
Their eyes were filled with deep fear, as if they were facing an invincible natural enemy.
