Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 157: The Dead Life of Anglerfish

Anglerfish rise to the surface of the Mariana Trench with hundreds of thousands of Murlocs following behind it. He had already communicated with the others and they had already begun to gather in the designated place, but only he had still not left.

This Murloc was divided into several teams led by the Sixth level Murloc and not a few who were at the Seventh level.

One of those leading the team was enough to flatten an international city, and now that there were thousands taking the lead, this could be a mess that the entire human race had never expected on Earth.

But the Anglerfish's appearance has been detected by the SkyNet Satellite in Low-Earth Orbit and sent a signal to the Space Base on the Moon, it deployed the MK-888N Spacecraft carrying missiles with a 200,000-ton TNT nuclear warhead orbiting in Earth's Intermediate Orbit.

The MK-888N spacecraft shot up at a speed of 45,000 km/h and it was already emitting flames on its front due to friction as it penetrated the multi-layered atmosphere. If it used full speed, even if there was a thick layer of graphene on its front, the Spacecraft would suffer a bit of damage.

Until now Wang Bin is still trying his hardest in research and assisted by Ma Laoli to make the MK-888N Spacecraft to ignore the atmosphere.

If the Spacecraft could ignore the atmospheric pressure, it would be extremely incredible, free to go without any constraints, without worrying about speed being too fast.

Meanwhile, the Anglerfish is still spreading its power to monitor whether all of its subordinates in the Mariana Trench have risen to the surface.

"It is enough, according to the information obtained after several communications, that the greatest power on the planet is in the Bald Eagle Country. We're gonna go up there and destroy the biggest threat." The anglerfish opens and closes its mouth, and makes a sound.

The Eighth level could already speak fluently using universal language, and according to him this was easier in expressing expressions even though it was not very important. But in communication, it still uses ultrasonic waves.

The new anglerfish gave the order and moved towards the northeast, suddenly sensing there was danger coming from the sky. He dived a little to change his body position, in order to see what was in the sky.

The MK-888N spacecraft went down very quickly and when it was only 500 meters above sea level, the bottom of the aircraft opened, dropping the missile with a diameter of 5.5 meters and a length of 12.5 meters.

The spacecraft dived sharply after releasing the missile and re-boarded into the sky.

The falling missile activates the Ion Propulsion Engine behind it, holding its speed up to 60,000 km/h. Distance of 500 meters, can be reached in just 2.5 milliseconds that occur in the blink of an eye.

The missile hit the ocean, making a spectacular explosion. An indescribable force erupted from a missile carrying a nuclear warhead of 200,000 tons of TNT.

Countless Murloc leaders felt a burst of fear that entered deep into the soul and fell into endless darkness.

This darkness was not the darkness produced by a nuclear explosion, because the light emitted from the explosion was extremely bright, hundreds of times brighter than the sunlight in the sky.

This darkness comes because their eyes are blinded by the light, then the eardrum is instantly destroyed, and falls into an imbalance in the five senses.

Under the tens of millions of degrees high temperature and tens of billions of pascals high pressure in the blast core, the air seemed to fluctuate as if it were a cracked mirror.

A great power destroyed Murloc's body quickly. First the limbs escape like legs, hands and skin are dissolved, followed by bones, internal organs, blood, until the whole body is evaporated entirely by high temperatures.

The explosion also produced a glow that could be seen from a distance of 200 kilometers, thick smoke rose up to an altitude of 15 kilometers, and shock waves with wind speed of Mach 137 spread in all directions, creating a tsunami that destroys anything that passes through it.

The water in the Mariana Trench soared several kilometers into the sky, exploding in the air forming a gigantic mushroom that scattered in all directions like rain. But before falling back into the sea, the water evaporated in large quantities, and the dark blue water on the surface turned red with hot steam rising into the sky.

Explosion after explosion is still heard when the nuclear warhead has not exploded completely and there are still aftershocks.

When the explosion stopped, the Mariana Islands were swept away and disappeared from the map, the Mariana Trench opened after a huge amount of seawater was evaporated. All the Murlocs were swept away without leaving a single one, but the Anglerfish still survived despite not being able to be said to be fine.

The anglerfish lost half its body, and the lamp hanging on its forehead had disappeared completely. His thick skin was peeled off, revealing large flesh and bones.

"You all attack the Bald Eagle Country, I'll go back into hiding to recuperate." Anglerfish transmit messages through ultrasonic waves.

But what Anglerfish does not know, the message it sent via ultrasonic waves was detected and the MK-888N Spacecraft again sent a missile carrying a nuclear warhead of 150,000 tons of TNT which was lower than the first shot.

Launching a missile with a greater explosive power of millions of tons is possible, but the impact is too large and can create a larger tsunami, even submerging several countries around, he said, and Fan Chen did not want that to happen.

All warheads that are above 1,000 kilotons of TNT are stored on the Space Base on the Moon for other needs that may be used in the future. But it looks like it may soon be used to break up asteroids coming from outside the Solar System.

—Africsel—

Fan Chen used the Substitute Robot and currently inside the HK-80KAH-EP Armor, he looked at the hollow Mariana Trench and re-filled with the surrounding seawater, like a giant mouth that swallows water.

Although it is said to see, in fact the SkyNet Satellite does not use ordinary cameras, but cameras with infrared rays to detect it and Xiaochu recover the data, then send it directly to Fan Chen. If not processed first, what he sees now is only red spots on the black back screen.

"It looks like 200,000 tons of TNT is still not enough for the Eighth level." Fan Chen sighed, he was greatly amazed by the vitality of the Anglerfish that was able to survive despite being the main target of a missile with such a large warhead.

"How's it?" Fan Chen spoke to Xiaochu. "Did he manage to escape?"

“The Plasma Cannon managed to hit Anglerfish before the MK-888N Space Shuttle went down, and it did not detect any life there. But Xiaochu will deploy the Underwater Drone to monitor the situation there.” Xiaochu's voice rang out at the HK-80KAH-EP Armor helmet Fan Chen was wearing.

Fan Chen nodded his head and no longer spoke, he lowered his head, looking at the mutant beasts raging in the urban area with zombies running around.

“Master, all mutant beasts in the Pacific Ocean go towards the Bald Eagle Country.”

Fan Chen pondered, he did not have a good impression with the Bald Eagle Country, but for the survival of mankind, he got rid of the problems between the two countries.

"To now monitor in advance, and send this information to the Bald Eagle Country on behalf of the Interstellar Organization. I want to see what steps they will take, and if they are unable to fight it, you can deploy the Interstellar Fleet."

“Good, Master.”

Fan Chen turned his head to look at Fan Xiaoyu beside him who was chatting with Jia Fefei and He Peiyu. Seeing this, he smiled, it seemed like his sister had already overcome the obstructive problem.

"All of you, are you ready?"

Fan Xiaoyu turned her head, she nodded and replied, "It's over."

Fan Chen gave a small nod in response, he did not say anything. He simply raised his hand, then waved it and darted down into the ruins of the ruin-filled city everywhere.

Fan Xiaoyu, Katerina, Jia Fefei and He Peiyu also darted down following Fan Chen who rushed over first.
