Chapter 197 Plasma Annihilation Strike! Operation Netherworld is Over!

After seeing his two soldier subordinates return to their posts in frustration, the officer with the rank of lieutenant could not help but sigh in his heart.

He also wanted to go out and live under the blue sky and white clouds like a normal person.

If it weren't for the terrifying underworld outside, who would be willing to hide in this underground cage without seeing the sun!
The lieutenant turned his head and looked at the world above ground on the surveillance screen. His thoughts slowly drifted to the tragic past nine years ago.

Nine years ago, a serious safety accident occurred at a nuclear power plant in Moldova, resulting in the escape of the "Ghost" in the laboratory.

These ghosts caused the deaths of seven million innocent people in just one week!

Such shocking casualty figures and such shocking large-scale deaths immediately shocked governments around the world.

In order to avoid panic among civilians and further social unrest, governments of various countries have completely blocked the news.

The information these three soldiers received was that the crisis had been effectively controlled and the nuclear power plant accident did not continue to worsen.

After that, three soldiers stationed in Sana'a received an order from the brigade headquarters, requiring them to repair the nuclear shelter and be prepared for war that could break out at any time!
Soon, the coalition forces led by Britain and the United States quickly occupied Moldova and prepared to continue moving eastward.

The Eastern European countries were outraged and immediately responded with counterattacks.

The two sides launched a fierce confrontation in the city of Vinnitsa, and both sides mobilized military-grade "Ghost Soldiers" to launch this "invisible war" against each other!
However, what was unexpected to both the Allied Forces and the Eastern European Forces was that the death toll soared from 3 to 16 just half a month after the war began.

The Battle of Vinnytsia lasted less than a month and ended with both sides suffering heavy losses.

But once a war breaks out, it will be difficult to end it completely!
The confrontation between the Allied Forces and the Eastern European Forces led other countries to start wars to divert their domestic economic difficulties and various internal conflicts.

Immediately afterwards, multiple wars broke out!
'Hold……!'

"Damn war! We should drag out all the executioners who started the war and let the Netherworld outside kill them."

"Let these greedy bigwigs take a good look at what kind of horrible invisible monster they created!"

When the lieutenant recalled this, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. It was clearly this group of powerful and influential people who had committed this evil.

But the consequences have to be borne by so many innocent civilians!
The lieutenant swallowed, moistening his throat, which was dry from anger.

In short, the Battle of Vinnytsia was the fuse of all tragedies, and the appearance of the underworld soldiers also began to be exposed on the Internet.

At that moment, everyone has realized that this invisible war has evolved into the "meat grinder of the new century" and everyone may die at the hands of the underworld!

Shortly after the battle, a covert espionage operation in Eastern Europe failed, leading to extremists within Britain and the United States launching a nuclear bomb at Latvia.

This nuclear bomb once again became the fuse for the escalation of the war, and the "nuclear winter" that affected the world came.

Various pollutants and debris that were blown into low-Earth orbit by nuclear bombs formed a thick "dirty cloud". The earth, which was deprived of sufficient sunlight, began to experience a sharp drop in temperature.

In this apocalyptic era after a nuclear war, most government organizations on Earth have collapsed.

The population on the ground has dropped by more than 30 billion people, and only a very small number of countries and regions still retain relatively complete building complexes.

But before the survivors of the nuclear war could start rebuilding their new homes, the Netherworld, no longer under the control of the military and governments, had completely become a dangerous factor that was out of control!

These painful and angry Netherworld soldiers began to attack all humans and animals within their sight.

Although the survivors knew that the ghosts could not penetrate ceramics and pure iron, they could not resist the huge energy released by weapons.

But they lack complete technology and corresponding resource support, and conventional weapons are useless.

Therefore, they had no choice but to move their living and production space from the ground to underground.

"Sir, I have another sandwich here, you can have it."

Just as the lieutenant was immersed in a wave of sadness over the past, one of the soldiers peeled off the plastic wrapping in his hand and handed the rare food to the lieutenant.

"I'm not hungry yet, keep it for yourself."

The lieutenant's tone was still cold, but he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He and these two soldiers were friends for life and death.

Seven years ago, these three soldiers were ordered to maintain basic order in the city of Sana'a and guide citizens to underground shelters.

The main force of their brigade was on the northern outskirts of Sana'a, ready to intercept the advancing Netherworld Army.

This is done to allow as many refugees as possible to enter the shelter and buy more time.

But what is sad and regrettable is that when facing the mighty army of the underworld, this army could not even hold out for ten minutes and was completely destroyed!

The last order the lieutenant and other soldiers stranded in the city received from their superiors was to immediately seal off the shelter.

In the end, only less than 500 soldiers and more than 30,000 refugees were left, and they successfully escaped the ferocious Netherworld army.

And he has survived until now by relying on the daily necessities prepared in advance.

However, because there is no self-sufficient production line in the shelter, the people trapped here can only live off their savings day by day.

Once food and supplies are exhausted, everyone living in the shelter will face a life-or-death choice.

Either you risk being killed by the Netherworld and go to the ground to collect supplies, or you will be trapped and die in the shelter.

At this moment, the humans trapped in the underground shelter of Sana'a City are the same as the Tang Dynasty people who were trapped in Suiyang City by An Lushan's army more than a thousand years ago.

The moment all daily necessities are consumed, people will start to eat each other!
Therefore, when the lieutenant saw that his soldiers were still willing to give him precious food when facing a shortage of supplies, he was deeply touched.

"Here! Here it is for you."

Seeing that the officer shook his head and refused him, the soldier simply handed it to another soldier, but that soldier was also embarrassed to accept the stored food from his comrade.

In fact, these soldiers have long seen through the cruel and ruthless reality. Since they will face death sooner or later, what is the point of fear and sadness?

It’s better to accept the reality as soon as possible.

Beep beep——!!

Just as the three of them were pushing the blame on each other, a rapid alarm sounded, which immediately made the three of them nervous.

Without saying anything more, they quickly put on their helmets and quickly went to the screen that issued the alarm to observe carefully.

Through the hyperspectral monitor on the screen, the three soldiers have discovered a large number of Netherworld soldiers... No, to be more precise, a large-scale Netherworld army!!
"Hold--!"

After seeing this shocking scene, the lieutenant couldn't help but curse.

After observing that the direction of this underworld army's advance was the eastern entrance of the shelter, which was above their basement, the lieutenant immediately sounded the alarm.

Afterwards, he used the communication device to report to their supreme commander:
"Report to the Major!"

"A large number of Netherworld soldiers are attacking our east gate wall. The situation is critical... What! They are attacking the weak points of the wall!"

When the lieutenant saw these ghosts attacking the damaged parts of the wall, his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

Once the underworld outside rushes in, I'm afraid all the survivors in the shelter will die!

"Understood, Lieutenant. Take your men and evacuate to the South District immediately. We will use a convoy for emergency transfer."

The major's orders came over the communication device.

"Yes!"

The lieutenant did not question the major's order and immediately nodded in response.

At this time, one of the soldiers couldn't help but ask one more question: "What about the refugees? What should we do with them? Who will evacuate them?"

"This is none of our business. The situation is urgent now. There is no time to take care of these refugees!"

The lieutenant said in a solemn voice.

It's not that he is cruel and heartless, but that they really have no ability to rescue these poor and innocent refugees.

What's more, a soldier's duty is to absolutely obey the orders of his superiors.

"Hurry up and gather the remaining members to rush to the South District immediately. We have to move quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Before the lieutenant could finish his words, the soldier shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, Lieutenant."

"I cannot accept such an order. I will not abandon the refugees here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier picked up the plasma discharge gun in the corner and hung a row of batteries around his neck, as if he was going to die together with the underworld outside.

Perhaps it was the long-term repressive life that had already brought the soldier's mental state to the brink of collapse. At this time, choosing to die bravely in battle might be the best outcome for him.

Seeing that the soldier was mentally prepared to die, the lieutenant didn't say anything more. After saying "take care" to the soldier, he hurried away with another soldier.

In this completely collapsed world, everyone has his or her own survival beliefs, whether living for family or for oneself.

Since everyone's paths are different, let's go our separate ways.

Immediately, the soldier holding the discharge gun ran towards the refugee camp with all his strength.

After passing through the dark and deep passage, he arrived at the shelter base camp where 30,000 people gathered.

The shelter is filled with an intricate web of corridors, walls, and living areas.

Like an ant's nest.

After entering the shelter, the soldiers immediately sounded the alarm. Accompanied by a loud "beep" sound, the survivors present were immediately panicked.

"Hey! Take it easy, be careful not to slip."

At this moment, the lieutenant, who was supposed to go to the South District to meet up with soldiers from other troops, suddenly appeared here with another soldier.

When the soldier saw the lieutenant and his old comrade appear at the same time, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He didn't understand why the two of them came back again. "Lieutenant, you...!"

Just when the soldier was about to be deeply moved, the lieutenant smiled helplessly and said, "Not long after you left, I saw on the monitor that a large number of ghosts appeared in the southern area."

"Our escape route has been blocked by the Netherworld outside. We are all going to die."

When talking about his impending death, the lieutenant's face finally showed an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

After being huddled in this dreary shelter for so many years, his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for his wife and daughter who were far away in other safe areas, how could he have persisted until now.

But now, everyone can be freed from the nightmare.

"We're all going to die anyway, so why not die together? It's better than being buried with those soldiers."

The lieutenant, who was usually serious and unapproachable, seemed particularly cheerful and lively at this moment, and even talked a lot more.

"Yeah...then let's stay here together."

The soldier forced a smile that was uglier than crying, but before he could take out the sandwich as the last meal of his life, a huge earthquake suddenly struck.

boom--! !

The strong air flow, crustal vibrations, and huge roars caused the survivors in the shelter to instantly suffer from tinnitus, dizziness, and fainting.

At the same time, this sudden shock directly destroyed the electrical equipment in the shelter, and the incandescent lights that illuminated the base camp suddenly turned into dark red emergency lights.

The entire shelter looked like a tragic scene from hell!

It was unknown how long it took before the lieutenant and the soldier finally stood up shakily, holding on to the mud wall.

Before they could react from their confused state, another explosion sounded not far behind them.

"Did the Netherworld group break through the defense line?"

The lieutenant was completely dumbfounded. The shock just now was not something that could be caused by the underworld. If you didn't know, you would think someone outside had dropped another hydrogen bomb.

Ta-da! Ta-da!
At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly echoed in the passage, and the soldiers subconsciously picked up their generators, ready to fight desperately with the Netherworld outside.

But his reckless behavior was stopped by the lieutenant.

"No, judging from the footsteps, reinforcements must have arrived!"

The lieutenant was overjoyed, he knew that Youming could not possibly cause such footsteps. Since the people coming made footsteps, it meant they were human!
Just as the lieutenant pushed aside the soldiers and was about to step forward to greet the incoming human reinforcements, his expression suddenly froze, his surprised expression completely frozen.

Because the "people" who walked out of the passage were a group of clones equipped with mechanical exoskeletons and wearing skull-like breathing masks.

These clone soldiers were controlled by the tyrants behind them. When the tyrants walked out of the passage, these clone soldiers immediately amplified their voices through the mask devices:
[Everyone raise your hands and surrender, those who violate the rules will be killed! ]

……

……

Eight hours later.

V flew quickly over the sky above Sana'a in the Skyhawk shuttle. Looking down from the sky, he could see that the former desert city had now been completely razed to the ground.

There are only a few built-up areas, still in a miserable state of broken walls and ruins, standing alone in the desert.

And in the desert area covered with flying sand, a large amount of crystal and vitrified substances have precipitated at this moment.

Obviously, they are the products of high-temperature explosion weapons.

In fact, the reason for this strange sight in the desert and the violent shaking of the underground shelter in Sana'a is...

It was because the RCS-class armored cruiser launched a plasma bomb with a TNT equivalent of 35 tons in low-Earth orbit.

The core raw material for making this plasma bomb is "helium" from the moon.

What Li Ang has been preparing for these days is to have people go to the moon to mine enough helium, and then produce metallic helium through ultra-high pressure and ultra-low temperature.

In an environment of nearly four million times atmospheric pressure, engineers from the giant company successfully extracted stable metallic helium.

However, in order to plasmatize this metallic helium, it must be heated to over a million degrees in an instant.

Therefore, the plasma bomb dropped on the Netherworld Army requires a metal helium bomb with a TNT equivalent of two thousand tons to act as a "fuse".

The moment the metallic helium is ignited, an ultra-high temperature blue plasma fireball of about one billion degrees will spread in all directions along with a huge shock wave, and then slowly weaken until it disappears.

The humanoid condensed state soldiers in "Underworld" are not very afraid of plasma discharge guns, because the energy is not enough.

But faced with this ultra-high temperature plasma fireball with a temperature of over one billion degrees, the only fate that awaits them is complete "annihilation", with not even ashes left!

"The last time I saw such a spectacular scene was when the Infinity ship used laser cannons to bombard a planet. However, it was a vacuum environment and we couldn't hear any sound."

Jack Wells, who was standing next to V, smiled and said, "V, it's a good thing that these survivors hid in a shelter sixty meters from the surface."

"Otherwise, they will probably be buried with Youming."

In fact, long before the cruiser dropped the plasma bomb, the investigators of the giant company had already learned of the existence of the underground shelter.

Otherwise, they would not have dropped this devastating plasma bomb.

"It seems that the boss is ready to deal with the Netherworld."

V looked out the porthole, overlooking the survivors on the ground who had been transferred to the western desert by the company's clone soldiers.

At this moment, soldiers from the Global Corporation marked with "LA" on their bodies are maintaining order at the scene and distributing food and water to the survivors.

The soldiers who were carrying out mopping-up missions and rectifying the situation on the ground were all unconscious clone soldiers controlled by polymer devices.

They are controlled by the Tyrant Bio-Man and will unconditionally obey any combat orders.

"To be honest, I really want to lead the team down and kill those remaining ghosts. These ghosts really scared me!"

Jack felt depressed when he thought of the thrilling firefight in Sana'a a few days ago.

It was his first time dealing with this kind of shit, and he almost suffered a serious loss. If V hadn't drawn his gun quickly, he might have been in trouble!

"It's okay. It seems that the boss's laboratory is developing some kind of antimatter barrier. You can fight the ghosts however you want."

V said to Jack with a chuckle.

Although he didn't know whether this antimatter shield could block the underworld on this planet.

But with tactical-grade weapons like plasma bombs, even if there are Netherworlds, their number will never be too many.

In the next operation mission, the basic task is to sweep away the remaining ghosts and completely eliminate the dangerous factors here!

Of course, the soldiers who carry out these tasks will definitely not be V and his group of Astartes warriors.

boom--! !

At this moment, more shuttle arrays suddenly flew out above the shuttle where V was.

They are a fleet of aircraft responsible for carrying micro plasma bombs to carry out bombing missions around the world.

As soon as a large number of Netherworld soldiers are discovered, they will be immediately blasted with plasma bombs.

If you encounter a few ghosts, use the plasma energy cannon sniper modified from the Jinlang defense system sniper rifle and the Covenant's directed energy pistol to destroy the ghosts with one shot.

This sniper gun with huge energy is far more effective than the discharge gun that V used before, and it can really kill with one shot!
"It seems that this Netherworld Operation is almost over."

V said thoughtfully.

Recalling everything that happened in the past few days, V realized that the Earth in this parallel universe is even more dangerous than Pandora!
On the planet Pandora, they crushed and defeated the Na'vi natives throughout the entire battle.

Even the Na'vi god "Eva" was enslaved by them within a day.

Instead, it was the "underworld" on this earth that made them busy and tinker with bombs, weapons and equipment for many days before they managed to accomplish all this.

"Yeah, it's finally over. I want to go back to Misty and relax, and ask mom to make me some corn chips and tamales."

Jack Wells grinned, then nudged V with his elbow: "V, come too, and call Li De, Johnny, Panam, Song Zhaomei and others."

V smiled and nodded, "Okay."

……

……

Behind the star gate thousands of miles away, in the base of all worlds!
Standing on the center console, Leon is learning through the real-time information, intelligence, and images from the front lines displayed on the holographic screen that the giant company's troops have completely taken control of the situation.

Now, various "suspicious heat sources" on the earth of "Underworld" are suffering from the explosion of plasma bombs dropped by shuttles.

If you encounter a large and dense army of the Netherworld, just let the RCS-class armored cruiser in low-Earth orbit drop a high-yield plasma bomb.

In short, anything can be destroyed, it all depends on the amount of energy required!
Under the cruiser's precision-guided plasma bombs and the destructive attacks of tens of thousands of Skyhawk shuttles, it won't be long before these ghosts will cease to exist.

As for whether it will damage the ecological environment of the earth.

Anyway, the earth has been destroyed by human nuclear wars, and even the sun is almost invisible, so the explosion of a plasma bomb doesn't matter.

What's more, it is still uncertain whether the earth can continue to maintain its current "spherical" state!
