Chapter 163: Prevention Before It Happens

For Fierce Beasts of this level, determining a winner in a short time was certainly impossible.

Zhou Liming, who originally wanted to pull away and leave, seemed to think of something, and then he smiled.

He did not leave in a hurry, but flew down from the high building, found a supermarket, found some food like canned goods inside, and then returned to the high building, eating while admiring this battle comparable to a United States sci-fi blockbuster.

The “Gurgle” sound of the Bullhorn Fish and the “Chirp” sound of the Flame Bird rang out from time to time.

With their strength being equal, often one would grab the other with a claw, and the other would slap back.

The truly unlucky ones were the citizens of Yue B City; everywhere there were traces of their battle, often a flame or an ice arrow could turn a patch of buildings into ruins.

With terrifying power constantly demolishing the city’s buildings, Zhou Liming thought with some malice that if this terror continued, Yue B City would become a ruins, disappearing into the river of history.

He frowned; with this painless fighting style of theirs, it would take donkey’s years to determine a winner.

Thinking that he had been away from the Cave Settlement for more than a day, Wang Ruijin and the others would more or less worry about him.

Zhou Liming thought for a moment, looking at the two Fierce Beasts fighting fiercely in the sky, and realizing that they could not determine a winner anytime soon, he hesitated for only a moment before catapulting away from this high building, then spreading his wings and flying toward Gui Province.

Zhou Liming, flying at full strength, returned to Gui Province in just half an hour.

Actually, seeing the two Fierce Beasts fighting, Zhou Liming’s idea was very simple: when the clam and the crane fight, the one who benefits in the end is definitely himself.

Although the fisherman needs to wait patiently, in Zhou Liming’s view, without one or two days, they could not possibly determine a winner.

By then, they would be hurt and exhausted, which would be exactly to his advantage.

But what Zhou Liming did not know was that in the Grand Rear, the results detected by satellites were submitted to the upper levels at the fastest speed.

In the General Headquarters, a dozen senior Generals were sitting in the conference room, and on the huge LCD screen, what was being played was the scene unfolding in Yue B City.

“Generals, these are the two most powerful Fierce Beasts discovered in our country to date, please note the flames and water patterns shrouding them; although we cannot accurately test their temperature, combining the degree of damage to the city and the reaction of various substances to temperature, after analysis, we have preliminarily determined their temperatures, the temperature of the flame is…”

An explainer sent from the satellite monitoring center was introducing, and the Generals below were all exclaiming in admiration.

Just at this moment, it was seen on the screen that the Flame Bird was finally thoroughly enraged, and then the flames all over its body actually detached from its body, forming a heavenly net in the sky, covering toward the Bullhorn Fish.

Seeming to realize the power of this ultimate move, the Bullhorn Fish’s tail twisted violently, like a twisted dough twist, and then released a rotation, making it seem like teleportation as it rushed out hundreds of meters away.

The flame net covered down, enveloping a large district, and the terrifying high temperature made everything in this area melt like ice cream in June.

In just a few minutes, when the flame disappeared, everything in this area had turned to ashes, and even buildings dozens of stories high only had a few floors left standing.

“Hiss…”

Everyone who saw this took a deep breath of cold air; with this ferocious strike, even steel melted in the blink of an eye, and cement could not withstand this high temperature, deteriorating into powder.

The abandoned cars on the streets, in the satellite playback, could be seen turning orange-yellow, then melting into molten iron, flowing onto the ground, and then being evaporated, leaving nothing behind in the end.

At this time, the Bullhorn Fish’s counterattack began; water patterns detached from its body, then constantly enlarged, shrouding the sky above the city, slowly rotating.

The water patterns at this moment became like a galaxy, rotating and emitting shimmering light.

Gradually, its center formed a vortex, constantly releasing cold air; for the city buildings below centered on this vortex, under the absolute low temperature, the cement was frozen and cracked, and cracks appeared one after another.

High-rise buildings, like fragile ice sculpture buildings, in the cracking, the cracks that appeared turned them into ice fragments pouring down.

In just a few minutes, countless high-rise buildings turned into ice crumbs, covering the ground.

The entire city, surprisingly, had half turned into a world of ice crumbs…

Dumbfounded… everyone’s mouths were wide open; these skills were like nature, but what they created was two Fierce Beasts, almost one move each, turning most of the huge Yue B City into a black and white ruin.

Just thinking that this was made by Fierce Beasts, everyone felt their heartbeats accelerate.

“Too terrible.” Zhao Haishan felt his fingers trembling.

As the Commander, the armed forces he mastered were very huge, but even he, who was used to seeing high-power weapons, was still surprised by the attack power of these two Fierce Beasts.

To know that what they had just displayed was already like a nuclear bomb of small to medium yield, and in terms of destruction, it was even more superior to nuclear bombs.

The Generals below were all buzzing with discussion.

The explainer said: “According to our analysis, just by launching their Body Skill, anything included in their Body Skill will be destroyed.

To deal with them, perhaps our Heavy Electromagnetic Cannon is of no use either.

Once they appear on the Frontline, no one can stop them.

With their amazing destructive power, turning a city into ruins is just a matter of half an hour.”

Zhao Haishan nodded, he tapped the table gently, and said: “Such powerful Fierce Beasts must absolutely not be allowed to appear on the Frontline, otherwise it will be a disaster.”

“I agree with the Commander’s statement.”

“Commander, I think so too.”

“I think they should be eliminated on the coast.”

“They must absolutely not be allowed to appear on the Frontline.”

The Generals of various levels below agreed one after another; they had already smelled the dangerous scent brought by these two Fierce Beasts.

Zhao Haishan pressed his hand down, and all the Generals closed their mouths; Zhao Haishan said: “Fighter Jets are not equipped with Electromagnetic Weapons, and relying on the Heavy Electromagnetic Cannon which is difficult to move is somewhat unrealistic.

And missiles have no effect on them, so to target them, we must use a Nuclear Strike to possibly eliminate them.”

The two Fierce Beasts were too powerful, powerful enough to be startling, so the idea Zhao Haishan held was to take advantage of the opportunity of them gathering together now to wipe them out.

“As for Yue B City, we cannot care about it anymore; anyway, Yue B City is now a ruins, as long as we can eliminate the two Fierce Beasts, all sacrifices are worth it.” Zhao Haishan stood up, swept his eyes over the people below, and said: “Forward this plan to the General Staff in advance, let them come up with a specific execution plan within half an hour, and then transfer it to the higher-ups.”

Everyone understood that while the two Fierce Beasts were fighting fiercely, taking advantage of the situation was the best, otherwise once they separated, it would be too difficult to find them again.

The country, having just entered the construction of the Grand Rear, needed stability.

Existences like this that exceeded human endurance had to be eliminated.

It was precisely because they understood the threat of these two Fierce Beasts to humans that the General Staff used only a dozen minutes to confirm the execution plan, starting to transfer it to the leaders who held the nuclear keys.

Ten minutes later, in a certain mountain range in the Grand Rear, a hidden missile silo slowly opened, a missile was pushed out of the silo, and then under a series of password verifications, it ignited and lifted off, drawing a trajectory in the sky, disappearing into the atmosphere.

The two Fierce Beasts, unaware of all this, were still fighting fiercely; covered in wounds, their blood constantly flowed down.

The scales on the Bullhorn Fish’s body were almost half scratched off, and it was bloody everywhere.

And the Flame Bird’s feathers had half fallen off, some still hanging loosely on its body, likely to fall off at any time.

The current scene was that neither could do anything to the other; the battle could be said to have been a stalemate and evenly matched from the start.

Perhaps realizing that neither could do anything to the other, the two Fierce Beasts both pulled away, then confronted each other.

For Fierce Beasts possessing a certain level of intelligence, they also understood that if they really hurt each other, it would benefit other Fierce Beasts instead.

For the Flame Bird, the Bullhorn Fish’s invasion had to be fought.

But the Bullhorn Fish had no idea of occupying this place; its territory was in Gui Province.

In the command headquarters that had been observing the two Fierce Beasts, the officer responsible for executing the Nuclear Strike seemed to realize something and suddenly became nervous.

“How long until it reaches the target?”

With the nervous shout, looking at the two Fierce Beasts preparing to retreat, everyone knew that once they left Yue B City, the Nuclear Strike just now would lose its meaning.

A small-yield missile could only cover more than half of Yue B City within its range.

For further places, unless it was a large-yield Nuclear Bomb, but using a large-yield Nuclear Bomb now was already too late.

“Estimated 47 seconds to reach the destination.”

This answer made people breathe a sigh of relief to some extent; they could only hope that the two Fierce Beasts would confront each other for even just 30 more seconds.

The Bullhorn Fish’s tail was paddling, starting to turn slowly.

And the Flame Bird was still circling in the sky, watching the Bullhorn Fish turn.

It did not pounce; just by looking at the Bullhorn Fish’s wary turn, one could know that even if it launched a sneak attack, there would be no result.

And at this time, on the screen in the command headquarters, the countdown began.

“10, 9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1, 0”

In the atmosphere, a missile rushed out, the last booster detached, and the warhead fell at high speed, above Yue B City, suddenly turning into a small sun, and then this small sun constantly enlarged, covering down toward the city…
