Chapter 350 - Flame Rats (1/2)

The power plant had its own factory protection team.

After a few of the strange fire accidents and explosions, the Red Dragon Army stationed squads from the special forces in the power plants.

They were at North Mountain Region, located in the north of the city, so the abnormal beast research department also stationed a regional-level operations team.

The three squads immediately did more than ten searches, but they did not find anything.

Meng Chao remained uneasy. He felt that something bad was about to happen.

When it was around ten at night, the strange fog came tumbling from the air. It released a faint blue and red light, which gradually descended on them along with the night. It was as if vortex-shaped, dark clouds had become connected together.

Piercing whistles cut through the night, and the sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of hands that could not be seen. Huge shiny eyeballs came from the four cardinal directions. They had tentacles trailing behind them and looked like the amalgamations of an octopus and a jellyfish as they staggered out of the rifts.

Demonic Air Ripping Eyes were the vanguards of the monster invasion this time.

They did not have great fighting strength, but they could use piercing mind attacks and strike at humans’ cerebral cortexes, which made theri mental strength indices fall because of fear and confusion.

During the recent fog descents, the number of Demonic Air Ripping Eyes had increased. It was to the point that people began to think that there was some sort of mysterious power controlling them.

And the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes were also evolving.

Not only had their tentacles become incredibly sturdy, they could also send them down from one hundred meters up in the air. Those mutated tentacles were death hooks that snagged people away.

A large number of new-type Demonic Air Ripping Eyes had also appeared, and they could interfere with the internet as well as cut communication optical fiber cables and wireless communication.

The monster experts called these mutated types Demonic Confusion Eyes.

It signified that once they appeared on the battlefield, they blocked off all communications by executing full-band barrage jamming.

To humans who had strict organizations and were used to coordinating attacks with each other, this was naturally an incredibly problematic thing.

Meng Chao stood at the highest point of the power plant. It was a cooling tower that released steam, which made it look like an erupting volcano. He looked into the distance at the faint light shining from the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes and the night sky, which was now dyed all sorts of colors.

It was like a nightmare around him. The short-distance dimensional portals had opened, and monsters appeared in the alleys and streets in massive waves. Even Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, which were the most common monsters, were much bigger and deformed. They didn’t seem the same creatures that Meng Chao had seen in the fog descent that happened when he had just returned to the past.

Their eyes were bloodshot and they were foaming at their mouths. Their muscles were twisted from being too tense, and, driven by their killing instincts, the monsters started attacking humanity’s fortified residential areas and skyscrapers.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The anti-aircraft guns located all over the city started voicing their protest. With the guidance of tracers, fire snakes shot into the air before they gathered together to form destructive waves that swept over the hundreds of Demonic Air Ripping Eyes.

Some of them were instantly shot full of holes. Whistles resembling those of popped balloons cut through the air while they swung their tentacles madly in the dark. This strange sight was even more terrifying than the mind attacks they released, and people’s skins crawled when they saw it.

More Demonic Air Ripping Eyes released strange forcefields to change the trajectory of the bullets, so they would barely graze them.

Both humans and monsters were learning how to fight.

While humans developed the Ultimate Style and other advanced fighting models to specifically target monsters, the monsters were also evolving and growing less apprehensive of human bullets. But only normal bullets used for long-distance attacks.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fortunately, humans still had rocket launchers.

Some of the soldiers with heat tracing shoulder-fired rocket launchers had been lurking on the buildings. They had long since locked down on their targets, and when the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes descended to less than one hundred meters away from the ground, the soldiers calmly pulled the trigger.

To avoid the mind attacks from the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes, at the moment they pulled the trigger, the soldiers shut their eyes.

The rocket launchers had heat tracing technology, so they could still accurately find their target.

This time, the interference forcefields were not very effective and the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes were reduced to brilliant fireworks.

Under the illumination, more spaces were torn, and more Demonic Air Ripping Eyes crawled out.

For a period of time, more than one hundred residential areas and hundreds of tall buildings in the city were attacked simultaneously.

The metal nets were connected to high-voltage electricity. They released loud crackles and incredibly dazzling sparks.

The searchlights illuminated the battlefields in the residential areas, which turned night into day over there. The monsters with mimicry and invisibility talents could not hide anywhere.

The electromagnetic towers released bright electrical arcs. They were like sharp and unblockable blades that cut open the aggressive monsters and burnt them to a crisp.

The sturdy fortresses were supported by a lot of electricity.

The five main power plants in Dragon City were operating over their maximum capacity.
