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!”
"Repent because you are still alive!”
Familiar words and a familiar voice came from the battleship.
The voice of Berenke, who had just died!
The crowd exchanged surprised glances.
They could confirm that Berenke was dead.
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.
And now, Jason believed more in the latter.
In fact, that was the case.
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!
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.”
