Chapter 580 - 370: Titans in Turmoil (Part 2)
The lower levels really have the power to overturn those at the top.
In a few words, Fenrir was already close to the Heaven-Reaching Tower, only a few hundred meters away, practically at the doorstep.
Zhao Yiming’s forehead veins were bulging as he watched Fenrir closing in, gritting his teeth, and said, "Contact headquarters and request for evacuation, it’s not safe here anymore!"
"Fuck!" Alexander cursed in his native tongue, his expression filled with extreme unwillingness.
Although this "execution" had been approved by headquarters, the specific implementation was left to the New Moon City region to handle.
Because according to the intelligence sent back, a high-probability over-limit high-level, low-probability Blazing Blood Low Tier blood code carrier indeed had the qualification to catch headquarters’ attention, making those bigwigs take a brief look.
But that was it.
For opponents of this middle-upper level, headquarters generally wouldn’t take action themselves, at most help mobilize resources and personnel, the rest was left for the branch office to handle.
But now things were off track, the intelligence had a major flaw, the enemy was not over-limit level, nor Blazing Blood level, but Divine Protection level, which even headquarters had to take seriously. The situation had gotten completely out of control.
The "anniversary gift" promised to headquarters had turned into a disaster, and the three of them couldn’t escape accountability no matter what.
Tsukimori Ryuuichi snarled, "The evacuation action can’t have any more problems, gather all the forces!"
"Go find your vassals, Edge, Scythe of Death, the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, and the other authority forces, get them all to the Heaven-Reaching Tower to stop that woman, immediately!"
...
When the fierce battle erupted at Crown Plaza, since numerous media were broadcasting and filming live, the site’s condition quickly spread exponentially on the internet.
All social profiles, all video sites, all places capable of playing media videos were dominated by this astounding battle.
"Dear viewers, we are now in Crown Plaza at the New Moon City Government Center! Just a few minutes ago, this ceremony supposed to honor the Wolf Assault Leader suddenly turned into a massacre scene!"
"Upon identification, all the ceremony staff were soldiers from a giant corporation, and their defenses have been completely crushed! Wolf King Fenrir is closing in on the Heaven-Reaching Tower! We... Oh my God! Look over there!"
The camera shakily turned, focusing on the entrance of the Hesu Company Tower.
There stood a hundred-meter-tall giant human statue, carved not of anyone else but the legendary leader Yan Wenwu, the first generation founder of the Hegemony Company known as the "Father of Blood Code."
Yan Wenwu’s statue exuded majestic grandeur, with one hand raised high pointing towards the rising sun in the east, giving an overwhelming imposing presence overseeing the world.
But as a shadow loomed, the founder’s statue, present since the establishment of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, met its end.
"Boom!!!" A Mechanical Ferocious Beast drenched in blood was hit by immense force, crashing heavily into Yan Wenwu’s statue, the impact breaking the mighty body in half, scattering beast-blood-stained debris, marking red scars on the ground.
The Mechanical Ferocious Beast attempted to get back up but soon let out a pained wail, lying still in a pool of blood, while the Spiritual Brain Modifier connected to its consciousness was hiding in the dark, vomiting blood.
Soon, blood-soaked Fenrir appeared in the camera frame, her leather clothes having torn due to the body mutation caused by the Azure Wolf Blood Code, covered in wolf-like black fur.
That originally beautiful face bore twisted lupine features, pale fangs reflecting a bloodthirsty glint, and dark purple eyes flickering with ferocity, akin to a frenzied beast.
Fenrir raised a claw, single-handedly grasping the statue head of Yan Wenwu on the ground.
The statue, a hundred meters high, had a head larger than Fenrir’s body, yet that claw sunk deeply, lifting it up, and hurled it towards the Hesu Company Tower with a mighty gust.
"Boom!!!" The statue’s head rocketed into the building, embedding deep inside, as steel and concrete debris and glass shards rained down like a storm, echoing the screams of the company’s employees to their peak.
"Howl—" The wolfified Fenrir raised her head, issuing a long howl at the Heaven-Reaching Tower that had oppressed people for a century, her fury hidden for twelve years erupting like molten lava, turning into blazing fury against the giant corporation.
...
At this moment, Su Mo was standing by the office window.
Though the Edge Mansion and Heaven-Reaching Tower weren’t in the same district, the building was so tall that even from the Lakefront Business District, one could see its towering silhouette on the city’s horizon.
Not only online chaos but the entire New Moon City was now in unprecedented turmoil.
City alert units on every street were flashing red, the sharp, piercing humming sounds echoing continuously, signaling New Moon City entering an emergency wartime state.
All active and reserve soldiers were to return to their posts at once, all war machinery was to immediately deploy, and all bunkers and shelters started opening to the citizens.
During last year’s Rust Wall Collapse incident, the Nemesis Virus incident, or this year’s Beacon incident, New Moon City had never officially entered wartime status.
Because compared to ordinary citizens’ lives, the City Council was more concerned with the investment market indices.
But at this moment, with Fenrir single-handedly assaulting the Heaven-Reaching Tower, threatening the giant corporation’s safety, New Moon City’s war machinery immediately activated.
Su Mo held the phone, talking with Zhao Yiming.
Zhao Yiming: "You immediately bring people to the Heaven-Reaching Tower, you must stop Fenrir!"
Su Mo: "No one in Edge can match the Wolf King, including me, we can’t stop her."
"That’s not your concern, do as I say!" Zhao Yiming’s voice grew severe with a clear threat, "I’ll give you twenty minutes, if you haven’t arrived by then, just wait for Qi Ling to die of poison within a month!"
Su Mo’s gaze deepened, he paused, then said, "Understood, I’ll come at once."
The call ended.
Su Mo turned around, facing the companions already gathered behind him, and began his deployment.
Su Mo handed a map to Chu Nanyi, saying, "Go to the refugee settlement in the Rust Wall District immediately, take Hibell out of the city, rendezvous at this map location with Lady Countess’s people, they will help settle Hibell."
As he spoke, visible murderous intent appeared in Su Mo’s eyes as he coldly said, "If you see Troy, kill that traitor."
Chu Nanyi had long shed his usual playful demeanor, responding heavily, "Understood."
Su Mo looked at Qi Ling, saying without hesitation, "Qi Ling, release the Black Extinction Virus in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, paralyze all their electronic equipment, especially the evacuation air transports!"
His eyes were filled with icy murderous intent: "Like to watch the play? Then let them watch it unfold from the scene this time, and no one leaves!"
Even with mental preparation, his companions couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, was he planning to help Fenrir trap the people in the Heaven-Reaching Tower and slaughter them all top to bottom?!
Dongdong raised a hand, worriedly asking, "Boss, Qi Ling’s poison hasn’t been solved, if Zhao Yiming dies, what will happen to her?!"
Su Mo wore a cryptic smile: "Don’t worry, when we hacked into the Hegemony Company database, apart from discovering the intelligence on the Flood Joint Military Operation, we also found some unexpected surprises."
Qi Ling added with a grin: "We found information related to the Silencer, this poison has a specific antidote, and the strategic reserve in the Heaven-Reaching Tower has it."
"The Wolf King’s sudden assault on the Heaven-Reaching Tower provided cover. The chaos at the scene makes it easy for us to send someone in to steal the antidote."
Su Mo looked at Nuobai, saying: "Nuobai, the task of stealing the antidote is yours, be stealthy, be quick, once you have the antidote do not linger, bring it back to the Edge Mansion immediately."
Nuobai nodded without hesitation, accepting the heavy responsibility.
Su Mo then looked at Future: "Is that thing ready?"
Future: "It’s ready."
Su Mo: "You know what to do."
Future: "I know."
After giving instructions to the others, Su Mo pulled Dongdong along as they stepped out, saying deeply, "Let’s go, take others with us, we’re heading to the Heaven-Reaching Tower."
