Chapter 628: Chapter 48: The Way of a Stay-at-Home Man

The moment before dawn.

Under the dark ink-like sky, a small battleship a hundred meters long with a peculiar shape appeared on the outskirts of Cherry City.

It slowly ascended from the mountain-encircled area, its greenish-black paint already blending it completely into the night, but the gathering points of blue light at the ship’s front cannon let people gradually, fuzzily, perceive it.

Above was a semi-circular shell, below was a tangle of tentacle-like thin branches, each one twisting, entwining, like earthworms.

It looked like a mutated, ugly beetle or a kind of jellyfish.

With each twist and entanglement of the seemingly alive branches and tentacles, the front cannon, ten meters in diameter, gathered more light.

The flickering of such blue light in the pitch dark didn’t give any feeling of brightness or warmth; on the contrary, it was cold and fierce, like a venomous snake slowly creeping out of the bush, gradually opening its mouth, baring its fangs, showing its malevolence and lethality.

"A Sabie battleship!”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This member stationed at the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau from Clock Tower had no inclination to wipe them away, his eyes riveted on that Sabie battleship, completely unable to comprehend the situation.

Why would a Sabie battleship appear on the ground?

How did it come to the ground?

Why had the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau not detected it at all?

Why did none of the famed astrologers from the Mystical Side detect any signs?

Question after question emerged in Tel’s mind.

This only made Tel more confused.

Ever since the establishment of the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau and with its powerful mobilization, although the Sabie people still held a certain advantage, such an advantage should never allow the enemy to approach the ground undetected.

The appearance of “infiltrators” should have been the limit.

Such a battleship appearing?

Impossible!

Even with a traitor, it shouldn’t be possible!

Could the enemy have some special technology?

As Tel speculated, the most surprising thing happened—

"Earthlings, repent!”

"Repent because you are still alive!”

Familiar words and a familiar voice came from the battleship.

Yes, Berenke!

The voice of Berenke, who had just died!

The crowd exchanged surprised glances.

They could confirm that Berenke was dead.

But now?

Jason, however, had an epiphany.

Witnessing the appearance of the battleship, Jason finally resolved the confusion that had lingered in his heart.

Why was the powerful Berenke so unexpectedly weak?

Because, the other party was controlling this uniquely shaped battleship, which seemed to be alive.

More accurately, some kind of ‘biological’ entity.

Linking a battleship with a ‘biological’ description seemed absurd.

But the battleship before him gave Jason the feeling it was ‘alive’.

"Some special organism?”

"Or is it… a modified biological entity?”

Jason pondered, his gaze shifting to the only cannon on the battleship!

It was hard to imagine a hundred-meter-long battleship with only one main cannon, devoid of any other armaments.

There could be only two reasons for this.

Either they could not accommodate any.

Or… didn’t need to!

And now, Jason believed more in the latter.

In fact, that was the case.

At the next moment—

Whoosh!

Bang!@@novelbin@@

With a special buzzing sound, the Sabie battleship’s main cannon fired, a muffled sound followed by a straight beam of blue light firing from the cannon towards Cherry City’s direction. řÀNồᛒĘś

The pitch-black night sky was instantly lit up.

Everyone saw that blue light zooming through the darkness, and then… a massive explosion!

Boom!

Rolling flames shot up hundreds of meters high.

The intense heat brought a gust of wind, sweeping across Cherry City.

The ground started to shake violently.

Crack after crack in the city’s surface appeared, buildings leaned, houses collapsed, screams completely shattered Cherry City’s tranquility.

But the cries soon vanished.

People watched in horror towards the direction of the explosion.

There, only a deep crater remained.

All ground structures and every person… were gone.

Just as if they had been erased from a map.

A corner of Cherry City, completely disappeared.

But more importantly, the main cannon of the Sabie ship again began to gather light.

As people watched this light, it seemed like the reaper’s scythe, with louder cries than before, they began to run frantically.

They didn’t know where to go.

Only their biological instinct told them to leave the area.

"It’s finished; it’s all finished,” Tel murmured in a pale whisper.

Then, without waiting for Jason, John, or others to inquire, he crisply said, “The place that was just destroyed was the Ground Reconnaissance Bureau’s air force base in Cherry City.”

Instantly, everyone’s expression changed.

No one present was a fool; they immediately thought of the horrifying consequences.

Without the interference of the air force, the Sabie battleship could fire without restraint.

"The nearest air force base is in Durian City. Even if they refuel and take off immediately, it will take at least 45 minutes to get here,” Brian said somberly.
