Chapter 559: Coexistence and Death

“Sir, our base is under heavy attack.”



Inside a vast technological room, Zhang Wang, the commander of the “Third Sky Base” is negotiating with the chairperson of the seventh heaven’s council.

“Yes, it’s the giant serpent. It’s currently attacking our base.”

While talking about Fang Yun, he couldn’t help but glance at a display screen on the side, on which was the battle scene of the giant serpent against the base and the allied fleet.

One ship after the other was destroyed. Even the advanced battleships of the fifth and sixth heaven couldn’t stop Fang Yun’s advancement. Soon the line of defense was torn down.

Fang Yun swallowed a giant battleship, then rammed into the base. After seeing this scene, Zhang Wang looked a little nervous. He shouted at his subordinates in the control center.

“Tell those guys to stop that monster!”



He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. If the giant serpent was allowed to enter the base and wreak havoc in it, it will be a disastrous scene!

“Hiss.”

Upon thinking of this, commander Zhang Wang took a deep breath, his expression became much more solemn.

After seeing the change on Zhang Wang’s face, the chairperson of the council asked with a serious expression.

“Zhang Wang, how is the current situation?”

“It’s very bad, sir.”

Commander Zhang Wang said with a heavy expression on his face,

“The giant serpent is about to enter the base.”

After

 hearing Zhang Wang’s solemn words, the chairperson also had a heavy expression on his face. He knew the meaning of the giant serpent entering the base.

The defenses of the inner layer of the base are much weaker than that of the outer layer.

If the outer defense of the base is breached, it’s game over.

This base will be scrapped directly.



There are many ships moored inside the base. Because it’s a closed environment, the spaceships can’t maneuver inside the base. They are almost useless!

The base that they spent countless resources, manpower, and time to build will be destroyed due to the giant serpent!

Just thinking of this caused the chairperson’s expression to become extremely ugly.

“Zhang Wang, I will send troops to support you right away.”

After pondering for a moment, the speaker said to Zhang Wang. There are some military bases near the “Third Sky” base, but compared to the three major bases, they are very small. They are minor bases.

However, this is not the time to think about this. They must try their best to save the “Third Sky” base.

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker.”

Zhang Wang said gratefully. Afterward, he turned his face and looked at the screen on the side. He watched the battle scene for a while, then suddenly, his expression changed.

“That monster!”

He gritted his teeth, the expression on his face became even uglier. The reason he looked so upset is that the giant serpent started destroying the docks.

The ships docked there were also destroyed by it.

On some of the buildings near the dock, many soldiers were stationed. These soldiers didn’t even have a weapon. They are second-line workers at best, but facing the energy attacks of the giant serpent, they were evaporated without even having the chance to scream.

Terrified screams and beacons for help sounded through the entire base. Tragic sounds sounded everywhere.

“Hiss…”

Zhang Wang can be regarded as a man that has seen many wars, but wavy fluctuations appeared in his heart as he watched this scene.

It’s too tragic.

“Damn beast!”

Zhang Wang couldn’t help but curse. He wished to take his men and fleet and fight against that damn serpent! But reason held him back because he knows the consequences of doing that

Although many people were furious and terrified due to the giant serpent’s massacre, the giant serpent didn’t plan to stop due to their thoughts.

Fang Yun’s figure curled up, then waved his giant tail towards a small continent-sized megastructure, destroying it and everything around it.

There are many buildings on top of this space base. They are connected by extremely long and tough glass corridors, just like blood vessels between internal organs.

Each one of these buildings has gravity generators, simulating the gravity of a planet, allowing them to walk and live freely.

The entire outer layer of the base is composed of countless giant buildings and structures, but they are being annihilated by the giant serpent at this moment.

If humans were to see this, they would probably be heartbroken. Such magnificent and stalwart buildings are being destroyed like paper houses. Such a waste!

Unfortunately, Fang Yun doesn’t care about this. He frantically attacked the base, not giving the soldiers the time or opportunity to board their battleships and join the battle.

Under his mad destruction, countless soldiers’ were either directly atomized by his gamma-ray, or broken into fragments by his physical strikes. They weren’t even able to feel the pain.

Many people died miserable deaths, but no living cared about that. All of them tried their best to escape this dangerous place. They regretted every choice that led them to become a soldier in this nightmarish place.

“Boom!!”

With just a single strike from his tail, Fang Yun killed tens of thousands of people.

He flew towards a harbor, where countless ships, ranging from powerful battleships to giant cargo spaceships, were docked.

After arriving there, Fang Yun directly opened his mouth and pounced on them.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of ships entered Fang Yun’s belly.

With his 80,000 kilometers long body, devouring ships ranging from a few to dozens of kilometers is extremely easy. Fang Yun devoured more and more ships.

The battleships of the allied fleet moved around and attacked Fang Yun, trying to attract his attention or drive him away.

Gu Li led his command ship above Fang Yun, leading his fleet to attack Fang Yun. He didn’t even bother to care about his safety anymore. All he thought of was to drive this monster away.

Various explosions appeared around Fang Yun’s body, but they could hardly cause any damage to him.

“Boom!!”

Fang Yun opened his mouth, from which a deep black sphere with the diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared. It flew forward for more than a million kilometers then exploded, creating a light sphere with the diameter of a planet, then an extremely big explosion.

This attack directly reduced hundreds of ships into ashes. Some of the ships that weren’t affected started fleeing.

“Humph!”

Fang Yun snorted coldly upon seeing the fleeing battleships. He isn’t a forgiving person. He launched countless attacks towards them, ranging from energy to space attacks.

More and more ships exploded, rendering the surrounding space scarlet like hell.

“This monster is too powerful.”

After seeing this scene in the distance, Gu Li had a gloomy and helpless expression. He knew that they couldn’t defeat this monster.

The attack power of their battleships is not enough. They need much more advanced battleships and higher-level weapons to inflict fatal damage to this serpent.

“Hah…”

Gu Li heaved a long sigh. While thinking about a new strategy, he saw that the giant serpent was flying around the fleet, temporarily not paying attention to their fleet.

At the beginning, he decided to fight against the giant serpent due to excitement, but now his heart has calmed down.

The giant serpent is rampaging across the base, constantly devouring spaceships and giant infrastructures, this might be their opportunity to escape.

“We can’t stay at this base anymore.”

Gu Li finally came to this conclusion. He decided to retreat and immediately acted on his decision.

“Everyone! Stop attacking and turn immediately! We’re leaving!“

The moment he issued the order, he was the first to turn around and leave. A second later, the allied fleet or what remained of it followed behind him.

“Huh?”

The commander of the base immediately noticed Gu Li’s actions, his brows furrowed as he immediately connected to Gu Li’s ship, questioning with a loud voice.

“Commander Gu Li, what are you doing?”

“Commander Zhang Wang, give up, we can’t keep this base.”

On the holographic projection, Gu Li calmly said to Zhang Wang, causing him to be furious.

“Are you going to escape?! Gu Li! Do you understand the consequences of your actions?!”

Zhang Wang looked very angry,

“Gu Li, don’t think that the giant serpent rampage won’t affect you because there is the sixth heaven between our heavens!”

”Listen here! If you are unwilling to join hand with us to deal with the giant serpent, you will die under its mouth one day!”

He cursed fiercely. Zhang Wang was extremely angry. In his opinion, the fifth and sixth heavens were the ones to initiate this battle.

In his opinion, it’s absolutely impossible for them to develop any transcendent weapon in a short time.

Their best option is to work with them to kill the giant serpent in their seventh heaven.

It’s a pity that the seeds of fear sprouted in Gu Li’s heart, causing him to make the decision to escape with his fleet.

Gu Li’s behavior caused the disadvantageous situation of the fleet to become even more desperate. More importantly, the morale of the base and seventh heaven fleet started to waver, many people started having thoughts of escaping.

Zhang Wang quickly reacted and shot two spaceships that were trying to escape, trying to keep military discipline and warning those with the thoughts of fleeing.

Unfortunately, the general trend has been set. Even if Zhang Wang used the most terrifying threat, many ships still followed Gu Li’s fleet and escaped.

“Damn it!”

Zhang Wang angrily shouted. He knew that Gu Li’s actions caused the subtle standstill to break.

The military rules and courage they used to talk about fell apart in front of the giant serpent. Now they could only watch the soldiers of the seventh heaven escape as the giant serpent rampaged.

The entire base collapsed. The sun-sized space fortress was divided into several parts, but Gu Li’s fleet was already far away at that point.

“Commander Zhang Wang, we must escape as well!”

One of the higher officials persuaded Zhang Wang,

“Commander Zhang Wang, if we don’t act quickly, we won’t be able to leave later on even if we want to leave.”

The giant serpent is still some distance away, but if they wait anymore, the giant serpent will catch up and they won’t be able to run anymore. That murderous beast will not allow them to leave.

“I know…”

Zhang Wang nodded and said, “If you want to run, then run!”

“As for me…” Zhang Wang shook his head and said,

“I will perish with this base!”

Zhang Wang solemnly said. He never intended to escape.

It had been more than three hundred years since he was appointed as the commander of this base.

Over such a long period, he developed a deep affection for this base. He felt his heart being torn as he watched the base getting destroyed. It’s almost like watching his son being killed.

In the control center of the base, the soldiers and higher officials gritted their teeth as they watched Zhang Wang behaving like this. They didn’t know how to persuade him.

“You guys go quickly!”

Zhang Wang had already figured out the result of today’s battle. This base will be destroyed! Not only that, even the entire seventh heaven will be heavily affected.

“Haah… We shouldn’t have touched this monster from the beginning.

Zhang Wang regretfully looked at the giant serpent on the holographic screen. If they hadn’t decided to participate in the battle against the giant serpent, things shouldn’t have reached this point?

No matter how bad their situation would have been, at least, it shouldn’t be worse than that of the eighth heaven.

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world. They can only reap the fruits of their actions, he included.

Because he was one of the first to advocate the attack on the giant serpent.
