Chapter 283: High-intensity Strike
“Ah?” Captain Mao was stunned for a moment.
After reacting, he hurriedly grabbed Observer Chen and followed Master Lu’s footsteps.
The screen in the livestream room suddenly blurred, accompanied by the whistling noise created by the wind, as the scenery on both sides rapidly receded.
As Observer Chen staggered to a stop, the livestream screen, which had been wildly shaking for several minutes, finally stabilized.
“Slow… slow down.”
Although Observer Chen could be considered well-trained, the prolonged frantic sprint still left his heart pounding nonstop.
Captain Mao’s condition was slightly better than Observer Chen’s: “Hold on, let’s leave the school first.”
Master Lu, who had already pulled ahead of the two by some distance, slowed his pace, looked back, and for the time being, didn’t see any sign of the Bloody Meatball, so he simply stopped to wait for them.
Captain Mao dragged Observer Chen and caught up. He looked at Master Lu and couldn’t help but give a wry smile: “We’re the ones holding you back.”
Master Lu waved his hand casually: “Let’s leave the school first.”
This Keshan Art University was quite large. At least Master Lu and the others had been running for several minutes, and they were still quite a distance from the school gate.
Bullet comments in the livestream room were flooding the screen crazily.
“Where are the other Action Department members? Why has it been Master Lu dealing with the Abomination the whole time?”
“Please stay safe.”
“It’s effective. If Master Lu unleashes that Lightning a few more times, I feel like there’s a chance, right? Why run away?”
“What are you talking about? Do you understand Anomalies better than Master Lu?”
“It must be that unleashing that discharge consumes a lot for Master Lu; he can’t do it many times.”
Netizens truly couldn’t see clearly what had happened, but they could somewhat sense the tense atmosphere, so they could only keep sending comments to alleviate their inner panic and emotions.
As for the Action Department’s Council Hall, it had long recovered from the initial disturbance, with the high-level officials and staff gathered inside each attending to their duties.
But the overall atmosphere was still quite heavy.
Minister Zhang, dressed in military uniform, repeatedly watched the segment where Master Lu struck the Abomination with Palm Thunder several times.
After confirming that this Juvenile Stage Abomination was easily vulnerable, he forcefully slapped the tabletop twice: “Continue evacuation preparations, and immediately deploy air forces for support.”
……
Clatter clatter~
Before Master Lu and his group of three could run out of the campus, they heard a sound coming from the night sky.
Looking up, they could see several Armed Helicopters rushing over at the fastest speed.
The searchlights constantly shaking on the sides of the fuselages were particularly conspicuous under the night curtain.
Besides that, they could faintly hear sonic booms coming from the sky.
It must be known that the Abomination was an Anomalous Entity with physical form.
The Abominations encountered in the past were all huge, bloated humanoid forms in the Mature Stage, which were indeed very hard to eliminate once they reached that point.
But after all, this Abomination was still in the Juvenile Stage. Even though preparations for evacuating the city’s civilians were already underway, during this period, they definitely still had to try whether heavy firepower could eliminate it.
Several Armed Helicopters loaded with heavy firepower soon flew over the heads of Master Lu and the other two, heading toward the Abomination’s location.
Not keeping them waiting long, a bulletproof vehicle drove up right after.
An Action Team Member poked his head out of the car window: “Master Lu, Captain Mao.”
Captain Mao panted heavily: “Mobilizing… the army—is that Minister Zhang’s order?”
“I don’t know about that.”
This Action Team Member shook his head: “No time to explain, get in the car quickly.”
They got in one after another. This Action Team Member turned around on the spot and drove the three outward.
He occasionally looked back at Master Lu with admiration, his attitude visibly respectful.
These Action Team Members waiting outside the campus naturally observed the on-site situation throughout via imaging equipment.
Admittedly, when Master Lu faced the Abomination, he didn’t show any overwhelming dominance.
But compared to the powerlessness ordinary people felt against Anomalies, Master Lu could at least fight back and even injure the Abomination.
Not to mention that before dealing with the Abomination, he had also resolved a Drowned Ghost.
By human standards, it could be considered quite impressive.
Seeing Master Lu silently looking out the window, this driving Action Team Member comforted him while driving: “Master Lu, please don’t feel discouraged. The Abomination is an Anomalous entity in Sequence 27 after all…”
Master Lu habitually gave him a smiling face in response.
In reality, he wouldn’t feel any frustration from something like this.
In the higher power level Deathmatch Arena, there were some tricky opponents, and he was already mentally prepared for that.
He was actually thinking about how to quickly acquire means to deal with these high-sequence Anomalies.
Unlike the previous two Deathmatch Arenas, this Deathmatch Arena completely lacked any cultivation system.
There was no way to improve himself through dedicated cultivation.
As such, it seemed the only option was to find more Death Fighters and build an ability set capable of effectively dealing with Anomalies by reading their abilities.
But the problem was right here.
What methods were there to improve the efficiency of finding Death Fighters?
As Master Lu pondered this issue, a violent Explosion rumble suddenly came from behind.
This boom was like the prelude to the bombing.
Deafening explosion sounds rang out one after another.
Master Lu looked back and saw a missile landing on the rooftop of the teaching building.
The firelight of the Explosion shot into the sky.
The building was blasted off half its structure without any resistance, like a block of tofu, and the remaining wreckage was not far from collapse.
Then the second, the third…
The surrounding buildings also collapsed with a crash amid bursts of violent shaking.
The tsunami-like roar made eardrums ache.
However, the missile bombing hadn’t stopped; under firepower coverage, stone blocks and glass shards flew everywhere.
The several Armed Helicopters hovering in the air to lock onto the Abomination’s position all actively gained altitude to avoid being affected.
The bombing with large-yield missiles leveled the area where the Abomination was located in an extremely short time.
That sky full of gunsmoke clearly wouldn’t dissipate quickly.
The driving Action Team Member observed the situation through the rearview mirror and said with some expectation: “It should have some effect, right?”
“Hard to say.”
Captain Mao was not optimistic about this: “If it can completely destroy the Abomination, that would be good, but I’m afraid the Abomination might slip away secretly…”
He paused, then said helplessly: “For the sake of stability, this city will probably have to be abandoned too.”
The Abomination’s Anomalous vitality was exceptionally tenacious; no matter which part of its flesh and blood remained, it could survive.
As long as it devoured a few people, its size would quickly expand again.
Even with such high-spec heavy firepower strikes, it was hard to guarantee completely obliterating the Abomination without a trace.
Accompanied by the continuous explosion sounds in their ears, the vehicle carrying Master Lu and the others finally came to a stop at the school gate.
