Chapter 670 - Victory Parade
Chapter 670: Victory Parade
Quite a number of large monsters like the Tyrant Mammoths became great spoils of war for humans to harvest.
Large quantities of monster materials released pleasant aromas and invisible spirit energy light. Once they were categorized, they were sent to the rear in an orderly fashion, like ants moving their belongings elsewhere.
These materials were going to become the capital for Dragon Citizens to continue developing and becoming stronger. They would help countless people awaken to supernatural abilities, and the superhumans would become stronger and overcome the limits of life.
No, plenty of people could not even wait until they got to the rear to cultivate.
This shocking battle caused plenty of people’s vitality magnetic fields to be affected by the monsters’ magnetic fields, but they were also nourished by a lot of spirit energy as well.
Their blood boiled during the fights to the death, and their minds were refined and trained while they threaded the line between life and death. Many people reached a breakthrough, just like Meng Chao did when he took the practical test for his national college examination. A number of one-star superhumans successfully became two-star superhumans, and those at the peak of Earth Realm also successfully reached Heaven Realm. In fact, a number of people at the peak of Heaven Realm understood profound laws while they were fighting against Apocalyptic Beasts and saw the secrets of Deity Realm.
They could not miss this chance, because the moment it slipped from their fingers, this inspiration would be gone.
Many people took large amounts of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid. After that, they sat cross-legged above the mountains of corpses and even used the monster magnetic fields that had yet to fade away to cultivate on the spot so that they could solidify the realms they just reached.
Spirit flames gushed out of their bodies, and spirit energy also flowed out of them. They looked like colorful clouds that gathered above the battlefield. They spun slowly and affected more people, causing more people who participated in the battle to gain indescribable benefits.
After this battle, Dragon City gained at least a few hundred thousand superhumans.
This was their profit from the war.
Ever since Meng Chao returned from the Apocalypse victorious, Dragon City had practically gained crucial victory in all its key battles.
The profit from war accumulated like snow, causing Dragon City’s overall strength to rise by several degrees. Right then, it was at least ten times stronger than the Dragon City in Meng Chao’s previous life at this point in time.
Meng Chao looked down on the entire battlefield.
His emotions surged, and his blood danced. His thoughts were already far away.
Then, a piercing golden light interrupted his thoughts.
Perhaps it was because the monster horde had dispersed, causing the vitality magnetic field formed by a few hundred thousand monsters to scatter, and they could no longer resonate with the magnetic field of the planet, but after the monster civilization lost in their battle, the fog that surrounded Monster Mountain Range all year round became thinner. Now, the fog was about to disappear completely, and Monster Mountain Range’s tallest mountain could be seen.
Originally, when it was shrouded by fog, Monster Mountain Range was a tall, impenetrable iron wall that controlled the path Dragon Citizens could take to the outside world.
Right now, the fog had dispersed, and nothing hid the mountains, cols, and valleys from them anymore.
When he stood on the armored airship, he could even see the sparkling world.
Meng Chao suddenly felt that Monster Mountain Range was no longer as tall and perilous as he imagined.
At the end of the day, it was just a small threshold that surrounded the “newbie village”.
Now, this threshold was destroyed by humans.
For some reason, these words rose in Meng Chao’s mind.
‘Tremble, Other World, Earthlings are here!’
He blinked, and he put away the golden flames at the top of his vision to the back of his mind.
Then, he grinned and laughed without holding back.
…
This pitched battle that decided Dragon City’s fate had gone on for about one hundred hours, and it ended with the complete obliteration of the main forces of the monster civilization.
However, the act of cleaning the battlefield, chasing down the scattered monster horde, repairing the city, and cleaning up the mess left behind by the pitched battle lasted for a little over a month.
There was no doubt about it; they had gained a brilliant victory.
Plus, they had gained the most abundant rewards over the past fifty years since Earthlings transmigrated to the Other World.
In fact, since they destroyed all the tactical initiatives the monster civilization could take, the Monster War was practically set in stone.
Nevertheless, the price they paid was pretty devastating, because the monster civilization had been the first to launch an ambush.
The colonized areas, mines, and forward operating bases suffered major losses.
Besides, since they had to attract the Apocalyptic Beasts’ attention, the human defense line had to stand firm and withstand the repeated attacks from the monster horde for a total of seventy-two hours.
At least one hundred thousand brave souls’ blood flowed on these strange lands.
Just like their fathers and grandfathers, they used their lives to write down the true meaning of the word “home”, a word created in the languages of Earth.
But forget the losses of the colonized spots, mines, and forward operating bases for the time being.
Dragon City itself also suffered from undead and zombie hordes, because the monster civilization spread Blood Flower spores and super zombie viruses among them.
When Dragon City was fighting fiercely at the borders, the normal citizens treated themselves as soldiers and fought against the zombies and monsters that popped up in their homes.
The casualties in the lair itself went above fifty thousand in this disaster alone.
The casualties in all the residential areas in Dragon City went up to at least five hundred thousand.
That did not include the collapsed houses, and the burning, explosion, or destruction of important fundamental facilities as well as factories.
Also, a large number of crystal resources were given to the frontlines, and they were used by the bottomless railway guns to blast away the monsters, causing Dragon City to suffer from a lack of resources again. They had to implement the ration system, and economic activities practically froze up.
In any case, when leaden clouds that were nearly absolute zero degrees Celsius hung over Dragon City, the despair they gave also hung over all Dragon Citizens’ hearts and refused to leave.
Fortunately, good news came from the frontlines every day.
Today, the Red Dragon Army had achieved a great victory and killed more than fifty thousand monsters.
Tomorrow, the powerful fighters from Agricultural University would tame more than three thousand monsters. They would implant special chips and self-destructing collars into those monsters and turned them into biochemical war beasts for humans to use.
The day after tomorrow, some powerful fighter from some mega corporation would catch up to a heavily injured Apocalyptic Beast that fled to the depths of Monster Mountain Range and get rid of a major problem for Dragon City.
Along with the news of victory came rewards.
Countless heroes’ names, their shocking stories, their amazing legends, and the first-person fighting videos recorded from their shoulder cameras were instantly made known to multiple families through the internet.
They were just like lava that were thousands of degrees Celsius hot, and they gradually chased away the leaden clouds in the citizens’ hearts.
“The monsters seem to have been completely defeated!”
Quite a number of citizens talked about this piece of news that was too good to be true.
If this news was only treated as a rumor in the beginning and had not been verified by the government, then when Dragon City held an unprecedented victory parade one month after the end of the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City, the government practically announced this to the millions of Dragon Citizens.
“We won!”
…
“Dad, Mom, look! There’re so many people!”
Bai Jiacao did her best to squeeze her way until she reached the foot of Supernatural Tower. There were VIP seats that were temporarily set up at the sides of the square. When she looked at the crowd in the square, in the street, and in the buildings around the tower as well as saw how cramped the place was, she was so shocked that her jaw almost fell to the ground.
This was not because she had never seen anything like this.
In truth, Dragon City had never organized such a large-scale activity with so many people around.
Speaking of which, Dragon City might have a few ten million people and was a densely populated place with limited living space, in the past, when it organized public activities, only a few ten thousand or hundred thousand people would join.
This was because Dragon City had a lack of resources and could not support holding such grand celebratory events.
The more important reason was that the monster civilization had been on the offensive side. It could send thousands of monsters with all kinds of viruses and bacteria into the city at any moment. Hence, it was a bad idea for them to organize any major activities at that time.
“The parade is going to start soon. When can we see Big Brother?!” Bai Jiacao asked excitedly.
The family of three was quite near the front of the VIP seats and had a pretty good view. They could see everything in the parade with just one glance.
Meng Yishan himself and Superstar’s fame was definitely not enough for him to get such good seats.
They already knew that Meng Chao had already done something crucial during this pitched battle, and he became one of the main characters of this parade. That was why they were able to get this honor.
The three of them were ecstatic, and they naturally dressed nicely for the event.
Plus, girls always underwent changes in the process of growing up. At that moment, Bai Jiacao was no longer the slightly plump girl with a round face Meng Chao saw when he just returned to the past.
Of course, she was neither the corrupted girl who matured too early and was filled with a ruthless and wild air because of the drastic and tragic changes that happened to their family in his previous life.
Thanks to Meng Chao forcing her to drink a luxurious nutritional cultivation set meal every day, she grew up like a bamboo shoot after a rain. Her facial features, figure, and limbs were now fully grown.
Aside from possessing a completely different demeanor, she was beginning to look like the Dark Witch in his previous life.
The girl was originally not willing to let herself grow so slowly.
Perhaps it was because the Night Demon Blood in her was slowly awakening, but her growth speed was so fast that even she found it terrifying.
If she had not been intentionally suppressing it, she would have awakened to supernatural powers much earlier and cleared dozens of spirit meridians!
Even when she was holding herself back, she was still the female tyrant of Construction High. When it came to the 100m dash, maximum punching strength, shooting techniques, and other subjects, she kept on breaking the records that had remained unbroken for years in the school.
Even when mayhem broke out in Dragon City during the monster invasion this time and zombies, as well as the undead, wreaked havoc everywhere, she swung her saber and killed seven zombies along with two undead without even blinking.
Even though Dragon Citizens were known for not stepping back when there was a fight, there were not many female high school students that could cut down zombies like they were vegetables!
Bai Jiacao originally thought that she could boast about her achievements to her brother, she did not expect that the achievements her brother made were much higher than hers.
Despite training so hard for two years, she did not close the distance between her and her brother. Instead, it became wider?!
What the heck?! What’s going on?!
Bai Jiacao felt a little gloomy.
However, this gloominess instantly disappeared when she saw the square formation marching from her VIP seat in the audience seat.
“Look! It’s our army! It’s Earth’s army!” She pointed at the end of the street and cheered along with nearly one million citizens.
