Chapter 445: Inevitable War! III (2/2)
The bright holographic screen was like a huge ball of glowing yarn, and right now it was slowly unravelling, losing brightness with every second that passed. The laser beams that once lit up the sky, providing a dazzling performance to the people, were now slowly vanishing from the universe.
Ye Chong and his group could finally see everything there clearly now.
Silence! The meeting room was dead quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
They were all wearing colorful expressions. Everyone's mouth was wide open as they stared dumbfounded at the holographic screen. However, many of them quickly recovered and looked away, feeling sorry for the creatures. Most of them sharply inhaled, and one could hear all the sharp inhales across the room.
The holographic screen showed a terrible sight that even a warmonger like Sang Tie with a heart of stone could barely continue watching it. The destruction caused during the five minutes before was devastating!
Outside, floating around in space were many of the creatures' dead bodies. They were pieces of flesh, torn off limbs, and organs flying around. All the creatures received multiple wounds, and most of them were just full of holes. It was hard to wholly preserved bodies. This was a problem for Ye Chong and his company, since it was difficult to reconstruct the complete image of these unknown lifeforms.
That round of assault was simply too violent! Ye Chong believed that even Mu or Shang would not be able to survive an attack like that. In fact, no mech could survive an overwhelming attack like that. Ye Chong thought that this intense firing assault was more powerful than a warship's cannons, especially against small sized enemies like mechs.
Ye Chong made a note to himself that should he find himself within range of laser beam guns, he should run away as quick as possible.
Ye Chong now knew that the devastation they wrought was being broadcasted to every corner in the He Yue Galaxy. He Yue was not a peaceful place, but the conflicts were often on a small scale. There had never been any large scale military warfare. Most of the people here still lived relatively peacefully, and had never seen anything so shocking as this! If even the Sang Tribe members were affected by this battlefield, how could the commoners even manage?
The horrible images of flesh, innards and severed limbs were everywhere. The reporter was daring enough to focus the feed on those things.
Everyone who was watching the holographic screen turned pale, their eyes widening with fear.
Blergh! Someone finally could not hold it anymore, and vomited. Like a catalyst, people began to vomit everywhere. The sound of people throwing up did not stop. Here and there, people bent over to empty their stomachs.
Here and there were sounds of vomiting, children crying, adults swearing, nonsensical mutterings … The symphony of chaos began as fear spread amongst the people. It was as if the apocalypse was here!
Ye Chong and the Sang Tribe Legion's reputation skyrocketed overnight. However, they were mainly famous for their violence! This caused most starship fleets and mech squads to stay far, far away from Ye Chong and his Sang Tribe Legion for a long time after.
Nonetheless, Ye Chong and the Sang Tribe Legion would not have minded being known for this particular reason.
Ye Chong studied the holographic screen quickly, summarizing the results of their assault.
Ye Chong may look calm on the outside, but on the inside he was shocked. He could already identify some crustalades among the unknown lifeforms. However, there were more types of unknown lifeforms here than the last time when he and Rui Bing were at the Gateway. He had not seen many of them before.
It was a pity that their bodies were now mostly unrecognizable.
Ye Chong's eyes fell on the huge, dark fuschia colored gas cloud on the holographic screen. This cloud was so huge that it seemed to fill up the entire background of the holographic screen from every angle.
He focused on the gas cloud intensely, as though he could see through it by pure willpower.
Abruptly, he noticed something and leaned forward. His gaze turned even more penetrating, and his expression turned slightly grim. He stared at the fuschia colored gas cloud without moving.
No one in the meeting room noticed Ye Chong's expression change. After the initial shock, they were now discussing excitedly about the brief assault earlier. Everyone was talking about the surprisingly powerful laser beam guns. That magnificent spectacle was just amazing! They had never seen a large scale war before, and never before had they thought of fighting in this way. This experience had completely altered their perception of war.
The Sang Tribe members were natural warriors. They were all physically and mentally trained for combat. While they were not as familiar with modern weaponry as even the average mech pilots were in the He Yue Galaxy, they understood battle far more deeply than the so called elites here.
This round of battle was an eye opener to them. Like Ye Chong, they had an innate sensitivity to all things combat.
Ye Chong was now speaking with Mu/Shang.
”Mu, it is growing larger?”
”Yes. It's rapidly expanding, and it's now 56 percent larger than before,” Mu reported with characteristic precision.
Ye Chong felt his heart skip a beat!
