Ghosts could invade Wisdom Creatures and conduct short-term possession.
The possessed not only gained increased strength, but their Recovery Power was also enhanced.
After being killed, they could also possess another person.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, a single Ghost could slaughter an entire city of mortals.
In the civilian area of this Underground City, where there is no Spiritual Energy, Ghosts naturally faced limitations.
Even when possessing a mortal, there was a certain chance of failure.
Moreover, after possession, don’t expect any growth in attributes; these environmental conditions wouldn’t allow it.
After being killed post-possession, a Ghost would need to rest for several hours to several days before it could possess another host.
Nevertheless, the chaos and destruction caused by these one hundred Ghosts
created a gap in the entire encirclement.
After all, most of the one hundred Ghosts appeared in one direction.
At this time, Su Ping had already rushed to the surface.
He hurled out coins, detonating each drone that had spotted him one by one.
Then he burst out from the side of the armor occupied by the Ghosts.
Thanks to the Ghosts, aside from evading artillery fire in advance, Su Ping faced almost no other fire interference on this stretch of road.
Because real warfare isn’t like what films and television series depict, with seas of people and guns everywhere.
With the increase of firepower, often there would be a hundred to several hundred meters between one squad and another.
Not to mention subsequent artillery support and intelligence support.
It looked more like confrontations between a few or a dozen people.
The civilian area, due to the terrain and special circumstances, wasn’t as sparsely populated,
but there were still only about five or six Two-legged Mechas and more than a dozen infantry mobile units per hundred meters.
And their primary purpose was to detect and report enemy movements.
The main firepower was still the self-propelled guns at the rear.
This sudden turn of events caught the command system off guard.
By the time they came to their senses and realized what strange situation had occurred at the front,
they hurriedly applied for wartime equipment authorization.
They locked down all the uncontrollable Two-legged Mechas and Eight-legged Spider Mechas.
Then they deployed drones; apart from the nearest special combat squads sent for capture operations,
all drivers invaded by Ghosts were pinpointed and cleared out.
But this caused quite a stir.
Whether it was the Admiral or those staff officers who were urgently dispatched,
they all knew the true target in the civilian area, Kalosis,
had probably taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
Or rather not escape, but break through and leave the area in an instant.
The Admiral, referencing the analysis summary given by the staff below,
suddenly looked at the map with a touch of inspiration.
He thought of Kalosis’s civilian identity, and of the noble education he had received.
After being hinted by an elder in his family that he was the reincarnation of a highly prestigious ancestor, the first lesson he learned was about the psychological analysis of the commoners, citizens, and elite classes.
"Could it be, the target is still so naïve?"
"No, this could be a good thing. If it really exposed itself, I would have even more resources at my disposal later on."
The Admiral hesitated for a moment.
Dozens of seconds later, he still had his aide notify the information tower in the Underground District’s central area.
The central area of the Underground City was surrounded by the civilian quarter.
Eighty percent of those living there were citizens from the Ground City.
For most of them, the central area was merely a place where they clocked in for work.
What was most abundant here were hundred-meter-high office buildings rarely seen in other districts,
along with various entertainment venues that serviced the citizens.
Even as artillery fire raged in the civilian area,
the citizens in the central area were still working or enjoying afternoon tea.
Until warning alarms sounded throughout the office buildings,
did some people show expressions of shock.
Except for a few elites who served as Chief Stewards,
these citizens of the Underground City had no idea what had happened.
They looked bewildered at the warnings relayed by the communication devices.
A vicious criminal was invading the central area?
Just as they were puzzled, at the civilian area’s entrance to the central area,
a loud noise suddenly erupted from the ticket checkpoint wall.
Something struck it with such force that a breach appeared.
Then, several security officer vehicles, hurriedly arriving at the scene, were hit by some unknown force.
They exploded one after another in unison.
Some vehicles were even blown high into the air before disintegrating.
Their parts turned into Fire Meteors that flew erratically, sending many curious citizens scattering in terror.
Moreover, to their further alarm, numerous drones, unconcerned with the possibility of causing collateral damage,
were releasing high-powered missiles as though they cost nothing.
This turned the sky of the Underground City a fiery red!
At this moment, Su Ping, having nowhere to hide underground and unable to carry the Major General with the Shadow Giant Snake,
casually seized the Major General Lucas who was wrapped in shadows, invisible to onlookers.
After leaving the entrance, Su Ping dashed into a shopping mall with a flicker of his body.
Amidst the shouts of countless people, Su Ping charged through,
breaking through one layer of glass curtain wall after another on his way from one building to another.
This made it impossible for the swarm of drones flying in the sky to track or lock onto Su Ping.
Instead, whenever Su Ping was in the mood, he would throw out an object or two, turning the fastest following drones into fireworks.
The Information Tower
One of the highest buildings in the central district,
it hosted the network services and the transfer of various information for the entire Underground District.
