Chapter 1 A Furious Island

When Qin Yiming's satellite phone indicated that no one was answering, Li Tianran immediately realized that something was wrong.

At that moment, a message also came from the monitoring department of the command center.

"Live satellites cannot monitor the SF-550 operational base. The airspace above the area is surrounded by an extremely powerful and chaotic electromagnetic field, and the strongest and most core part of the field is located at coordinates 551.23!"

After hearing this information, Li Tianran quickly asked Qin Yiming beside him, "What location in the operational base is that coordinate?"

"It's... it's the port warehouse!" Qin Yiming's face instantly turned ugly: "According to the operational base's report, the remains of the Tower of Babel will be completely processed today and shipped back to Furious Island through the port!"

In an instant, Li Tianran understood everything.

The apostles must have attacked the base in an attempt to retrieve the remains of the Tower of Babel for repair!

Although repairing those remains is very difficult, it is at least easier than re-manufacturing a miracle building!

"Activate the Kunlun Colossus and rush to Base 550 immediately!" Li Tianran said quickly, striding outwards: "Notify the nearby defense line garrison to send scouts! No need to engage, just observe the situation at Base 550 from a distance and report back to us!"

To be honest, Li Tianran didn't expect the apostles to be so bold. After their defeat in the Gullen Noah Desert, they dared to make a comeback again.

Is a dilapidated Tower of Babel wreckage worth the apostles risking it all?

Filled with strong confusion, Li Tianran led thousands of Pioneers onto the Kunlun Colossus, ascended into the sky, and headed towards Base 550.

Although they had already set off, it would take at least 10 minutes for the Kunlun Colossus to arrive. Li Tianran no longer had hope for the fate of Base 550. Under the powerful siege of the apostles, he didn't think the EU garrison could hold out until the Kunlun Colossus arrived.

...

The raging wind crashed through Base 550 like a Tyrannosaurus rex, tearing apart the earth, walls, and buildings.

The sturdy armor of some heavy tanks was easily twisted and torn into pieces.

The warplanes in the sky could not escape being shot down either.

The Wind Apostle flapped its wings and shot into the sky, crashing into a warplane like a cannonball and causing it to disintegrate!

On the sea, artillery fire roared.

Hundreds of Wind Followers landed on the warships surrounding the cargo ship, launching a massacre against the escorting troops.

Blood splattered, and severed limbs were thrown everywhere...

Boom!

Boom boom!

Dense rain of bullets fell, and the Wind Apostle's figure weaved nimbly through the gaps between the shells like a feather, none of them able to hit it.

Against Second Evolution creatures like the Wind Apostle, which are small and agile, heavy artillery shells were greatly limited and basically ineffective!

A shell marked with an "x" symbol on its warhead came screaming towards the Wind Apostle.

This was a cluster multi-warhead, also known as a shotgun multi-warhead.

As the name suggests, its function is like a shotgun. When the main warhead explodes, a large number of small sub-warheads erupt outwards, like the large number of steel balls in a shotgun, capable of delivering a dense area-of-effect attack.

Against highly mobile enemies like the Wind Apostle, this type of warhead can effectively limit its movement.

At least... this was the only solution the ground commander could think of.

The cluster shell screamed as it approached the Wind Apostle, detonating three meters away. The shell casing shattered, and thousands of small warheads burst out, shooting in all directions.

However, the Wind Apostle's face showed no unease or panic, and even its eyes were as calm as ever.

It reached out with both hands and clenched them in the void.

Centered on it, the surrounding air suddenly stagnated. Then, an extremely violent wind swept in, forming a giant tornado!

The Wind Apostle continued to clench its hands, and the giant tornado began to shrink, engulfing all the small warheads and constantly squeezing them inward!

The kinetic energy of the exploding shells was completely offset by the violent wind, and all the warheads were confined within the shrinking wall of wind.

Three seconds later, the giant tornado, originally dozens of meters wide, had shrunk into a sphere only three meters in size. The Wind Apostle raised the hideous ball of wind and threw it straight down at the operational base below.

"Evacuate!"

"Oh God..."

The EU troops in the base below cried out in despair at this scene.

The wind ball crashed to the ground, landing in the middle of a heavy tank formation. In an instant, the tanks were torn apart like paper, and the operators inside didn't even have time to scream before their bodies, along with the tanks, turned into the finest powder.

Boom boom boom!

Inside the wind ball, a large number of small warheads were released, shooting wildly in all directions.

Flashes of fire and whistling winds!

The wind ball collapsed, and countless wind blades cut in all directions.

This scene was like a terrifying natural disaster descending.

"Open the defense line gate!"

The Wind Apostle stared impassively at the earth and suddenly said, speaking towards the base's commander, "Open the defense line gate, and you may live!"

At this time, in the distant sea, the cargo ship had been captured by the followers and was being redirected towards the defense line gate.

Base 550 was located next to a marine tributary, so a heavy marine gate was specially built when the defense line base was constructed.

While the Wind Apostle and its followers could pass through the defense line through small spaces, and even send some Giant Beast Kings into the defense line through underground rivers, they could not transport this giant ship loaded with the remains of the Tower of Babel in the same way.

This cargo ship was simply too large, completely different from the steel-carrying cargo ships they had attacked before!

Those cargo ships were only a hundred meters long and twenty or thirty meters wide, barely able to be dragged through underground rivers.

But the cargo ship in front of them was 480 meters long and had a width of an astonishing 98 meters. It was larger than any aircraft carrier in the human world!

With this kind of size, it could only pass through the gate and could not be taken out of the defense line in any other way.

The Wind Apostle's voice, carried by the wind, quickly spread throughout Base 550.

"O-open it! We can't hold it!"

"Those remains aren't really that useful. It's not worth losing our lives to protect them!"

"Even if we refuse, they can still forcibly open the gate, it will just take a little more time..."

In the troops below, some soldiers had already broken down, crying and howling.

Command center.

Listening to the Wind Apostle's words, the commander hovered his finger over the gate control panel in front of him, his eyes struggling.

Finally, his finger slowly fell.

But he pressed not the [Open] button, but the [Self-Destruct Lock] button!
