686: Washing the floor

Chapter 686: Ground Zero

"Mr. Thrace... can he really not come?" the Special Task Force Bureau agent asked with some difficulty.

"He really can't, for reasons beyond human will," Lily said, shaking her head slightly. "It's a bit of a coincidence, just happened to line up."

"Alright..." What else could the Special Task Force Bureau agent say? There was no point saying anything more, as the other party couldn't make it.

"Alright, what's the situation now?" Lily asked the agent.

Then, she led Ye Zian and Gu Yu forward.

Along the way, many Exorcists greeted Lily.

Clearly, Lily was also a well-known figure in the industry, after all, the Exorcist Squad was considered a "top-tier squad" in the industry.

Thrace's reputation had been built up little by little through his strength.

"The specific situation isn't clear, but..." The Special Task Force Bureau agent pointed to the dark red rift, which was very conspicuous over there.

Lily naturally saw it, and her brows furrowed slightly: "This is a bit troublesome!"

She understood the situation at the scene with just one glance.

After all, she had lived for a long time and was well-traveled.

This was the first time she had seen such a situation, and precisely because it was the first time, she felt it was even worse!

"What's the current situation?" Lily asked the Special Task Force Bureau agent.

"There hasn't been any reaction yet, but we've detected a lot of abnormal energy fluctuations..." The Special Task Force Bureau agent hadn't finished speaking.

The dark red rift suddenly changed.

Buzz~ As waves of evil power emerged.

Evil Demons surged out of the rift one by one.

Scarecrows, Blade Demons... they continuously poured out of the rift.

At the same time, the dark red substance, like an infection, continued to spread outwards.

It seemed to be continuously eroding the real world; anything within this dark red substance was already the Inner World!

The manifestation of the Inner World!

It was no longer like before, entering the Inner World was like falling into a "mirror world"; now, it had become real!

These Evil Demons would not be "weakened" by entering the real world; they would be unhindered!

"Stop these Evil Demons!" the Special Task Force Bureau agent immediately shouted.

His colleagues all picked up their weapons and attacked.

At the same time, numerous Exorcists also began to attack.

Evil Demons were eliminated one by one.

"Help," Lily said, and Ye Zian, who was beside her, rushed forward, wielding the blade in his hand, striking down Scarecrows and Blade Demons with each swing.

With his current strength, the former Blade Demons were like ants to him, easily killable.

Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft!

Ye Zian had already charged into the horde of Evil Demons, and a sweep of "Flowing Flame" cleared a wide area.

The dark red substance had a very large area of erosion, at least several thousand square meters.

The defensive line was built further away, completely encircling this area.

The Special Task Force Bureau and the Exorcists continuously killed these Evil Demons, suppressing them within this area.

At the same time, reinforcements were continuously on their way.

Although they didn't know how to stop the spread of the dark red substance.

When the Evil Demons appeared, the spread rate of this dark red substance increased.

But relatively, when Evil Demons were killed, these dark red substances would slow down their speed.

More and more Evil Demons appeared.

And the level of the Evil Demons was also increasing.

Stronger Evil Demons like Scissor Demons and Floating Demons began to appear.

"This isn't going to work! Is there any way to get rid of this rift?" Ye Zian shouted towards Lily as he kept cutting.

Although he could still handle the Evil Demons that had appeared so far, there was no guarantee that even more terrifying Evil Demons wouldn't appear later!

"Everyone inside, retreat!" A voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Zian was startled, then turned his head to see that it was Gu Yu who had shouted.

At this moment, a black box had been assembled in front of Gu Yu at some unknown time.

Ye Zian obeyed and rushed outside.

Including some other Exorcists who were charging inside with him, they also retreated outwards one after another.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!

The next moment, the black box in front of Gu Yu fired countless dark red light waves, which, in shape, resembled missiles.

But they were clearly composed of energy.

These energies fell like raindrops.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every dark red light wave, upon landing, instantly exploded like a missile.

Gu Yu performed a missile barrage.

After a barrage of indiscriminate bombing, the number of Evil Demons was significantly reduced by more than half.

They became sparse.

However, the dark red rift was still "spitting" out Evil Demons.

"Again!" Gu Yu stuffed a lot of magic crystals into this box.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!

Another round of missile barrage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone looked at Gu Yu in shock.

Good heavens! Why didn't you take out something like this earlier!

And at this very moment, the army contacted by the Special Task Force Bureau had arrived.

Armored vehicles, tanks, armed helicopters, fully armed soldiers, etc., were all in position.

Although modern firepower has limited lethality against Evil Demons, it still depends on what kind of firepower it is!

Modern armies can also kill Evil Demons; while ineffective against some high-level Evil Demons, for low-level Evil Demons like Scarecrows, Blade Demons, etc., it's one shot, one kill, without any hesitation.

"Fire! Fire!" the commander ordered.

Tanks, armed helicopters, and others all opened fire.

They joined Gu Yu in a fierce bombardment.

The firepower strike lasted for a full three minutes.

When they stopped firing.

The Ground was left unharmed, but the dark red substance had clearly receded quite a distance, a discovery that made everyone slightly relieved.

At the same time, with such a powerful bombardment, not a single Evil Demon was left.

"It seems there's a solution!" The Special Task Force Bureau agent, seeing this, immediately breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At least under the baptism of firepower, these dark red substances would retreat... That means strong attacks also caused these substances to be "damaged" or retreat.

Does that mean that as long as their attacks are strong enough or last long enough, they can make all these dark red substances "retreat" completely, or even close the rift?

Continue to call for reinforcements! Especially more shells and missiles!

Suddenly, the next moment, the dark red substance surged, then rapidly receded by dozens of meters.

"What's going on!?"

The sudden change made everyone's hearts jump.

Why did the dark red substance suddenly shrink back so much!

Something unusual must be afoot!

Everyone immediately looked nervously at the dark red rift, which had stopped spitting out Evil Demons since the missile bombardment.

The next moment, the dark red rift suddenly expanded several times, and then, a large hand suddenly stretched out from within.
