Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 156: The Eighth Level

"What about the newly built LA-N6 Submarine?"

"The LA-N6 Submarine has been completed in accordance with the deep ocean terrain and is expected to be able to withstand attacks from the Eighth level, but until now has not been launched because it has to wait for permission from the Master." Xiaochu gave a report in an elegant secretary style.

Fan Chen mused, Mutant beasts are very difficult to deal with, the Steel Tank Beetle two weeks ago was arguably easy as it was more to the defensive. If what was encountered were not Steel Tank Beetles, but Wind Pigeons, Like Thorny Black Leopards or Fire Lions, there was no way but to escape.

The Seventh level was not as weak as the Steel Tank Beetles displayed, the Seventh level was able to withstand nuclear explosions and had the ability to unleash nuclear-based attacks. Even Sixth level Octopus Kings were extremely powerful, capable of killing many Fourth level Murlocs and possessing laser attacks as well as nuclear fire.

"Eighth and Ninth levels, has it ever appeared other than the Eighth level we killed in the beginning?"

Xiaochu shook his head and replied, "No one has ever appeared, they are very hidden, and our monitoring on land is still limited to a depth of 200 meters underground."

Fan Chen tapped his finger on the table and thought of what means to be able to monitor all the mutant beasts on Earth. With the current monitoring, it still could not observe everything

"Sister."

Fan Chen looked up at his sister who called out to him.

"We are moving too far, just three months after the Second Disaster, we are already moving into space, even though the threat on Earth has not disappeared completely." Fan Xiaoyu still did not believe in their development.

Previously, they lived in the Wind Protection City, and she cared for her brother for an entire month who had always been having nightmares, even according to the examining doctor, her brother had no hope of living.

But after her brother became the Awakened One of “Aneh”, suddenly said something about the Second Disaster and in just three months, their controlled technology improved greatly, instantly advancing hundreds of years.

Fan Chen just kept silent and did not answer him directly, he looked at his sister's eyes while smiling faintly.

"Do you think it's good or not?"

Fan Xiaoyu nodded, then shook his head. "Yu'er doesn't know, on the other hand, this is good because we can reduce the speed of the mutant beast's deployment. But, Yu'er was also afraid of problems, such as technology going to strike back, and the change in attitude of the closest people."

"With the development of Mingyue Defense, previously untouched or unaccountable people like Academician Song, Admiral Su, now they were even being polite. Yu'er's friends, they are now keeping their distance due to the great difference in status." Fan Xiaoyu lowered her head, and her voice grew smaller as she said it.

Fan Chen clasped the hand of Fan Xiaoyu sitting opposite him. "You want to go to the Inner Region? The people we saved built self-sustaining areas, they have started to open up traditional markets. Should we go there? Bring your other friends."

Fan Xiaoyu looked up, she did not immediately reply, she thought about it for a long time. "It seems like not yet, Yu'er wants to see Fefei and Peiyu." He let go of his brother's hand, then he got up and left the room.

Fan Chen let his sister go alone, he himself understood the loneliness experienced by his sister. After the First Disaster, his friends were separated, and it was very difficult to get news of each other, let alone after the Second Disaster, everything was completely cut off.

In Mingyue Defense, everyone who was close to him other than his mother and sister, arguably they were all his people who came from the Stronghold System, so they were different things.

Until now, Fan Chen still continued to search for the whereabouts of his friends, certainly not friends like Mu Yanzi, but rather people who could really be considered as friends. However, although the technology in Mingyue Defense continues to evolve, the 118 SkyNet Satellites are focused on observing mutant beasts and zombies.

As for the Scanning Drones figuring out their existence, it still has not produced any significant results. The territory of power reached by Mingyue Defense, it was only Dongguan, Guangzhou, and the Imperial City.

"Xiaochu, still haven't discovered their existence?" Fan Chen looked up, sighing with emotion.

"Xiaochu has still not found a suitable existence according to the data provided. Contact information could not be reached, the address listed was already visited but there were no results at all. Xiaochu had already broken through all the defenses of various electronic equipment around the world, but had not found a suitable existence."

Fan Chen sighed again. Having not found them with Xiaochu's help, then there were only two possibilities: the first was to die before the Second Disaster began, and the second was captured as experimental material from a tight consortium that did not use electronic devices to exchange information.

Although it is not possible, but there are indeed groups who do not believe in technological advances, especially on the internet, because they think the internet is more dangerous than anything.

Fan Chen stood up, he came to the VR Pod that was placed in the corner of the room. He himself was still in the Xiaochu Factory, and the VR Pod was in every building in the Underground City that he could use. "I will go to the African Country, the mutant beasts there are more wild and open, unlike here which is very hidden. Afriksel, is a suitable place for military exercises ..."

"And, it's time to clear the area there and secure the mine area." Fan Chen walked into the VR Pod, he looked at Katerina who was standing in front of the VR Pod. "Please send a message to Yu'er, Jia Fefei and He Peiyu. Let them get into the VR Pod, then take the HK Armor and go to Afriksel."

"Good, Captain." Katerina nodded her head, then after the VR Pod closed, she immediately sent out a message.

Katerina also joined the other VR Pod after she sent a message.

Xiaochu monitored the two, he remained standing there without moving a single bit, he was in charge of overseeing the security around.

—Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean—

Deep in the Mariana Trench, Anglerfish are seen soaking in the magma with their eyes closed, and the light bulb on their forehead emits a bright star-like glow at night.

His carrying power continued to increase with time as he continued to absorb the surrounding magma.

His size was now extremely large, even compared to the aircraft carrier owned by the Bald Eagle Country, the state-owned aircraft carrier was like a child before him.

The anglerfish opened its large eyes, flickering several times. "Man starts to fuck. It seems like it's time for us to go up and eat them all for further evolution ..."

"Our task is to exterminate them, to cleanse the Earth until there is not the slightest life. Turn this planet into our nest! After reaching the Ninth level and continuing to gather energy, I can leave this rotten body!"

Anglerfish sent out ultrasonic sound waves, it summoned all the mutant beasts in the ocean at the Seventh level to go with it. He, the Eighth level Mutant Beast, should be the individual leading the attack.
