Chapter 63: Chapter 63: What Else Can You Do?
"What the hell... is this thing..."
When the shadows covered the head.
The entire populace of Qingzhou City was stunned.
They watched wide-eyed as the warship revealed its massive silhouette, hovering over the entire Qingzhou City.
It looked like a devil with bared fangs, opening its most sinister and terrifying maw toward Qingzhou City.
"That’s... a Conquering Level warship!"
Just as Wang Qingya, along with Xu Lingjun, was leaving the hotel, preparing to head towards Tianlong Street, she stopped abruptly, staring fixedly at the warship drifting across the sky, her pretty face turning pale as she nearly moaned out a word.
Xu Lingjun looked up at the giant warship whizzing past them, and he asked, "What is a Conquering Level warship?"
"It’s a classification based on the warship’s energy, lethality, and the level of munitions equipped—Conquering Level, Fearless Level, Monarch Level, Planet Level, and the highest Constant Star class warship."
Wang Qingya was a top student from Zhanzheng College, with far more understanding of warships than ordinary people.
But precisely because of her understanding, she was even more terrified...
It’s worth noting that since the Three Great Empires established their defenses in the cosmos, preventing the Mysterious races of the heavens from invading Blue Star...
Due to the friction among the Three Great Empires and the worry that the internal war could escalate beyond bounds, leading Blue Star to ruin by its own hands, there are precedents for this.
It’s said that Blue Star was able to ascend because the infighting among the Three Great Empires was so intense that the Spiritual Qi clashes reached their peak, breaking through the cosmic barriers and entering what is now the Extraordinary Cosmos.
Therefore, after ensuring internal peace,
The joint council of the Three Great Empires decided that once a cosmic-level warship was built and equipped with weaponry, it must immediately head to the cosmos, not allowed to linger on Blue Star.
In other words, although there are quite a few starships in the Great Xia Empire, those with firepower have basically been sent to the Polar Star Battlefield.
And the warships remaining on Blue Star are mostly semi-finished products.
After all, who could have imagined that a warship could pass through the necessary space station of warp travel and come into the interior of Blue Star?
"This seems to be an old-style patrol destroyer of the Chi Yu clan."
Wang Qingya snapped back to her senses and grabbed Xu Lingjun’s hand, exclaiming, "Xiaojun, run."
"What?"
"It’s an old warship from many years ago, but even an old warship is still a warship, not something humans can contend with. Run quickly, Qingzhou City can’t be saved. This warship is heading towards the direction of No. 0 Shelter, we can’t go there. Only by leaving the city do we have a slim chance of survival."
"Qingzhou City... can’t be saved?"
Xu Lingjun was stupefied.
Home... is just gone like that?
He looked up, only to see countless laser cannons slowly extending outwards from the massive ship body.
The dark gun barrels began charging, amassing powerful energy.
Then, countless beams of light directly swept down towards Qingzhou City.
Each beam contained power comparable to cruise missiles, blasting onto Qingzhou City’s bustling center. In the blink of an eye, numerous intense explosions mingled with flames soared to the sky.
Rumble~~~!!!
The violent and continuously erupting explosions instantly resounded throughout Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou City had become ruins and debris.
Moreover, the intense explosions were advancing all the way toward No. 0 Shelter...
"Quick, quick, close No. 0 Shelter."
Yue Jinyan shouted out loud.
But the voice was quickly drowned out by the intense artillery fire.
At this point, orders were no longer needed.
With these kinds of pervasive and distributed explosions, everyone knew that at that moment, there was no point in waiting for the remaining populace to arrive.
If such a level of bombardment continues for three minutes, there will not be a single survivor in the entire Qingzhou City.
To resist this level of attack, only by completely shutting No. 0 Shelter can there be a chance...
"Old Xu hasn’t come in yet."
Inside the shelter.
Guo Zheng couldn’t help but exclaim.
At the time of the incident, he was undergoing Martial Tao training at the academy. These students were the first to enter the shelter, but even so, the casualties were extremely heavy.
And Old Xu had been practicing at home all this time. He hadn’t come at all... and he still hasn’t come...
"We can’t wait any longer."
Guo Xu couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, pulling his wife and son into a corner, and sighed, "He’s not the only one who couldn’t get in. There are so many people who didn’t make it in time... Who could have thought the war would come so unexpectedly?"
Guo Zheng opened her mouth, feeling utterly confused.
Indeed, with that round of fierce bombing just now, let alone civilians who couldn’t even bind a chicken, could even the mightiest Martial Artist withstand the power of warships?
Feng Zhichen stood there with a bewildered look.
Although he knew this was actually a good thing for the entire Great Xia Empire, sacrificing a mere city revealed the entire tumor... Just like when treating a disease and the lesion is cut, isn’t a lot of good flesh also cut away? But this is unavoidable.
But human lives ultimately aren’t numbers.
Seeing a once-prosperous city turned into ruins because of his presence, his heart was full of confusion. No matter how strong he was, if attacked by the enemy, he could easily slaughter them all.
But this warship... it had already surpassed his capabilities.
How could a mortal body compete with a steel warship?
The warship slowly glided above No. 0 Shelter, but at this moment, the barrage of covering fire suddenly stopped.
The Starship just hovered in the sky...
Chi Yu Xing Hen stood over the warship, laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Feng Zhichen, do you see? This is the result of provoking our Chi Yu clan, this is the result of massacring my Chi Yu people. My offer still stands now. As long as you kill yourself here, I can withdraw immediately, or I can continue the barrage. How many rounds of bombing do you think your shelter can withstand?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Feng Zhichen: "..............."
Before, he dismissed Chi Yu Xing Hen’s words as nonsense, preferring to die bravely rather than surrender. After all, Feng Zhichen’s life was not so easy to take.
But now.
He could feel countless intense gazes in his back.
It seemed everyone was saying, were you the one who led them here? Was it because of you that Qingzhou City fell to this state?
At this moment, he didn’t dare to look back at the civilians he had once desperately protected.
"Still unwilling? As expected, your so-called selflessness is just a façade, isn’t it?"
Chi Yu Xing Hen laughed wildly, "Then how about I add some stakes? I can guarantee that if you die, all the Chi Yu Race will immediately kill themselves here. You don’t have to worry about us lying. We’ve already lost our chance of escaping after exposing ourselves, but I also know that even with the power of a Starship, if you’re determined to escape, you can do so... but can these civilians escape?"
He wore a sinister grin, coldly saying, "The choice is yours, Feng Zhichen. The safety of all civilians in Qingzhou City, oh no, now less than half of them are likely still alive. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to protect these civilians? To live or die, you decide?"
Feng Zhichen: "..............."
"Did the bombing stop?"
Xu Lingjun crawled up from Wang Qingya’s body.
Just now, a blast had struck not far from their side, scattering bricks and cement. Fortunately, Xu Lingjun reacted quickly, pressing Wang Qingya firmly beneath him. Otherwise, she would’ve been killed by the shards.
As for Xu Lingjun.
The hits on his body felt both painful and itchy, like mischievous children throwing small stones at him...
But it hurt only and wasn’t harmful, which was fortunate.
Xu Lingjun stood up, looked around... all he saw were the war-torn ruins surrounding them.
"It stopped, but it’ll soon start again."
Wang Qingya got up.
Thick smoke enveloped them, and now their bodies and faces were covered with black ash, looking both battered and disheveled.
She said softly, "Run, Xiaojun. That secret skill you use causes serious harm to your body, but as long as you survive, it’ll be okay... with me, you won’t be able to escape."
"Sister Yaya, are you insane?"
Xu Lingjun gave Wang Qingya a deep look and said, "When we were attacked by the Bone Splitting Lizard, you wanted to push me away, and now you want me to run again..."
Wang Qingya didn’t deny it and said softly, "I just don’t want Uncle’s only bloodline to end because of me. Otherwise, wouldn’t I become the one responsible for destroying your Xu Family? Plus, even if the Empire responds immediately to equip the warship, staffing and loading ammunition will take time, and in that time, the warship could plow through Qingzhou City three times, Qingzhou City is beyond saving."
"Not necessarily."
Xu Lingjun replied seriously, "Not necessarily beyond saving."
"What?"
Wang Qingya couldn’t help being surprised, looking at the determined look in Xu Lingjun’s eyes.
She didn’t understand... what else could be done in this situation?
