Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 77: Large Dragon's Might Cannon

Chapter 77: Large Dragon’s Might Cannon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The will of the heroic spirit users was strong, the steel army of the machine masters was mighty, and the monster controllers’ biochemical beasts and insect swarms that filled the world were awesome and terrifying, but when a martial artist researched the secrets of spirit energy and genes to the limit, they could deliver ultimate moves that could destroy the world. They could easily kill the heroic spirit users, machine masters, and monster controllers.

If the people themselves were killed, the heroic spirits, steel army, and insect swarms as well as huge beasts became useless.

Hence, martial artists were ranked at the top of the four great fighting occupations.

At the very least, it was currently ranked at the top.

“Martial artists, huh?”

Even Meng Chao could not stop the light that lit up in his eyes.

The feeling of landing solid punches and using one’s own bodies to open the path was something all hot-blooded teenagers could not ignore.

As Meng Chao thought about it, the rumbling sounds from the tyres suddenly changed.

They had pa.s.sed the metal bridge and arrived at Jiangnan region’s main area.

The air here was even stiffer than in Jiangbei. It was as if the smell of blood, steel, and smoke had gathered together into two drills that forced their way through their nostrils.

Many examinees could not stop themselves from sneezing. Then, they looked outside with dumbfounded expressions. They even forgot to exclaim in surprise.

Thousands of armored airs.h.i.+ps floated in the air while thousands of newest model tanks stood on the ground. They were a steel army in its truest sense.

Personally witnessing such a mighty army and seeing it through a television broadcast was completely different.

“That’s Huge Dragon Might’s Cannon, right? It’s so f.u.c.king awesome!” one examinee could not help but swear under his breath.

Everyone rushed to his side of the carriage with a whoosh. They stuck their bodies out of the carriage window to look.

The light from the setting sun shone on an extremely large and mighty cannon that looked like a mountain. It resembled a steel beast crouching on the wide iron tracks.

Huge Dragon Might’s Cannon was Dragon City’s ultimate weapon.

The cannon barrel was eighty-eight meters long, while the whole thing was two hundred and eleven meters long, twenty-five meters tall, and weighed seven thousand and five hundred tons. Each armor-piercing sh.e.l.l weighed twenty tons, and their high-explosive bomb was ten tons. The fuel required to push a cannonball forward weighed from two to five tons as well.

After Dragon City transmigrated, due to the change in materials and the interference from the spirit magnetic field, practically all cruise missiles could not be used, and the accuracy of tactical missiles was also greatly affected.

They needed to be guided by satellites, and the satellites had to be in synchronous...o...b..t. Only then were they able to bring out their full power. Now, Dragon City did not have satellites, so how could they possibly use missiles?

Without trump cards like the cruise missile, it was very difficult for them to fight against the kings of monsters.

While they could suppress normal monsters with the steel army, the superbeasts were faster, had high defense, and a certain amount of intelligence, which was why they deployed the hit-and-run strategy.

They snuck into Dragon City and caused great damage. Then, before the Red Dragon Army or the superhumans could surround them, they would flee. Yet the angered the Earthlings could only stomp their feet, because they could do nothing about these superbeasts.

That’s why they did not stint on the costs and sent out a large number of expeditionary teams to explore the areas with the richest amount of spirit energy in Monster Mountain Range until they found the nests of these kings of monsters.

It has to be known that not all places can turn into the nests of high-grade superbeasts.

Superbeasts were the same as humans. They liked places fit for immortals to live, which meant clean air, clean water, and an abundance of resources. A good nest was the foundation for a race to propagate, and monsters fought to the death for good nests.

The best ones were located in the depths of the fog, so it was impossible for humans to send an army to clear them.

And since cruise missiles had lost their function, they could not accurately attack spots that were located so far away.

Then, the ancient railway gun was enhanced in a frenzy by the metals in the Other World and spirit energy technology, which increased its shooting range to over two hundred kilometers.

That was how the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon was born.

Even if the monsters fled, they could not bring their nests with them. When an Apocalyptic Beast dared to invade Dragon City, while the Earthlings could not catch it, they set up their Huge Dragon Might’s Cannon and razed its nest.

Of course, the creation and maintenance of the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon used up countless resources. The costs for firing a single shot were also insanely high. Before all the nests of the Apocalyptic Beasts were destroyed, there was a high possibility that the bosses of the Survival Committee would die of heart attacks first.

Besides, the Apocalyptic Beasts whose nests were destroyed might instantly go berserk, and they would rush into Dragon City to drag them to h.e.l.l with it.

Hence, the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon was an intimidation weapon, just like nuclear weapons. Aside from being fired a few times after its creation to intimidate the high-grade superbeasts, it was never used.

But this did not stop it from turning into the guardian of all Dragon Citizens. It was the most brutal symbol of the human race’s heavy industry.

“Did you hear? The engineers are currently modifying the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon. Now it can even fire nuclear cannonb.a.l.l.s!” someone said with a wild look in his eyes.

It instantly stirred up a wave of discussions.

Whether Dragon City had nuclear weapons had always been a hot topic among the youngsters.

Even though the Survival Committee, Supernatural Tower, and the Red Dragon Army did not breathe a word about it, the citizens believed that they had nuclear weapons.

The thought of a huge railway gun firing nuclear cannonb.a.l.l.s was exciting.

“I really want to see the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon display its full might!” someone said eagerly.

And the other examinees immediately agreed with his words.

“Let’s not,” a girl said. “Once the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon is fired normally or even while loaded with a nuclear cannonball, it would mean that Dragon City is facing its greatest danger to date.”

Her words made the examinees suck in sharp breaths. They thought about it and quickly agreed with her. Just how terrifying of an enemy would they have to face for the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon to unleash its roar?

They hoped that they would not have to see it.

A thought flashed in Meng Chao’s mind. Pain throbbed at his temples, and before his eyes, he saw the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon howling.

His pupils shrank swiftly. Then, they returned to normal.

They moved past the Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon and drew closer to the wall formed by the fog.

It was like a solid wave that surged toward the clouds.

No... it should not be described as a solid. The fog squirmed about slowly, like a huge gaseous object. It looked like it would swallow the city whole at any moment.

The closer the students got to the borders of the city, the more severe the phenomenon of the overlapping s.p.a.ces became. The terrain that belonged to Earth intersected with the terrain of the Other World like saw teeth.

Just behind them were rows of skysc.r.a.pers, but soon, lush, primitive forests appeared.

They were on a side with neat rows of factories and streets, but soon, they saw a crack whose bottom could not be seen. Growing in it were all sorts of strange-shaped plants from the Other World.

Sometimes, some nimble creatures crawled out of the depths of the crack. They appeared briefly in front of the Earthlings before they crept back into the deep crack.

The sounds of artillery shots could be heard in the fog. The endless fights continued.

When the examinees got close to the frontlines of the fight between the humans and monsters fighting for living s.p.a.ce, all of them felt their blood surge.

“We’re at the exam area! Get out! Hurry up and get out!”

From the moment they entered the armored train, the students fell under military management. Hence, when a military officer shouted at them, they quickly left the train.

They were then transported by crawler military trucks to the entrance of a broken down factory that was bound by vines, since it had been abandoned for a long time.

There were military tents set up around it. Well-trained soldiers surrounded the factory with their weapons ready to fire.

Under the orders of a military officer, the examinees were split into male and female groups and were sent to bathe and change.

This was to check whether they had any severe injuries and prevent them from bringing anything that would allow them to cheat.

They changed into camouflage uniforms made of biochemical materials which were as thin as a cicada’s wings. They had fine patterns and all sorts of ports.

Just when the examinees wondered how such a thin fighting suit would be able to help them fend against monster attacks, a group of soldiers with huge spray cans on their backs came forward. They lifted the tubes and connected the nozzle at the chests of the examinees’ camouflage uniforms.

“s.h.i.+ck!”

The protective gel in the spraycan was like pudding. When it filled up the interlayer of the camouflage uniform, it swelled up like an inflatable life jacket, but it did not look clumsy. It was designed in accordance with human muscle structure, so each examinee looked strong and mighty.

The gel was made of Non-Newtoninan fluid and would not affect the examinees’ usual movements.

But if they ran into high-speed attacks, such as a bullet shower or a monster’s claws, it would instantly become as firm as steel. Its defense was much higher than that of a normal bullet-proof vest.

The soldiers put all sorts of monitoring equipment, communications equipment, and cameras on the ports so that they could ensure communications with the examinees and ensure their safety.

All examinees received a small military-grade communicator on their wrists. It would notify them of all information regarding the test.

They also got a multifunctional helmet made of super-light alloy.

The examinees now had a brand new look. They looked at each other and started howling in excitement.

Beep, beep. Soon, the screens on the communicators on their wrists lit up.

This was to test whether the system was functioning well and whether everything was connected properly. It was also to check whether the examinees’ physiological parameters were connected to the main computer.

Then, the contents of the practical test for the national college exam popped up.

The practical tests every year were set with the requirement that the examinees went through complete simulations of real fights. This was especially the case this year. The t.i.tle notification was not “national college exam contents” but “mission”.

[The fog to the south of Red Dragon River has retreated by 10km over the past half a year. Our army has discovered quite a lot of buildings from Earth that were originally hidden in the fog.

[Among them are numerous factories. They might have important facilities and strategic resources.

[The mission for Squad 5523 is to clear Dawn Machine Factory and eliminate all monsters staying inside so that this factory would return to human civilization!]

5523 was the code for the exam area, but on the mission notification, it turned into their squad number.

[Mission area: The area within the walls of the former Dawn Machine Factory.

[Possible monsters:

[Rapid Biting Rat.

[Number: Unknown, but possibly a lot.

[Illusion Cat.

[Number: Unknown.

[Possible existence of other high-grade monsters.

[Mission time: 00:00 – 06:00

[Total time: 6 hours.]
