Chapter 114 - Attack on Beijing

Three days later.

It was another busy day for Beijing, China's capital city. The sun was shining ever so brightly, but air pollution was still so thick within the city. Almost everyone was wearing masks as they walked towards their destination.

Suddenly, everyone saw a thick cloud of black smoke approaching the city. They were surprised and thought that heavy rain was about to fall, but when it went nearer, the people realized that it wasn't actually a cloud.

It was several hundred circular drones with what looked to be guns attached on their wings. They looked like a thick cloud of black smoke from afar, but they were actually aerial beasts flying arrogantly in broad daylight.

Everyone became wary of the sudden visit of those drones. They knew that it was not just a simple tour based on the atmosphere it released. How could that amount of drones not have some sort of plans especially after seeing the weapons attached to their bodies?

The drones suddenly came to a halt for a brief moment before they moved to separate directions. Their speed became much faster and they fired shots to any human within their range.

"Doov!"

"Doov!"

"Doov!"

"Doov!"

The poor people who were mercilessly shot had their bodies riddled with holes. Cars bumped unto each other causing loud explosions and chaos among the crowd. The whole city suddenly turned into hell in merely a few seconds after the arrival of those drones. 

Burning cars, people shouting for help, destroyed buildings and etc.

The helpless people could only run inside the buildings to seek shelter, but the energy bullets were capable of penetrating even the thickest walls of these buildings. 

Several robed silhouettes also arrived within the city. In their hands were energy rifles gleaming coldly because of the sun's light. They walked in a solid formation and moved separately after the leading figure signaled the rest using his long arm which was covered by the robe he wore.

They fired their weapons on the humans moving towards their direction. Men, women, children and old, no one escape their merciless slaughter.

"Doov! Doov! Doov!"

"Doov! Doov! Doov!"

The city's defense force arrived in a few minutes, but many had already died before they even arrived. They aimed their weapons at the drones in the sky and fired madly at them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ratatatatatatatata!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ratatatatatatatata!"

Their bullets seemed to have no effect on the drones as they merely bounced off the drones' metallic bodies. Their shells were not even dented after the wild firing from the city's defense force. The soldiers' hearts turned cold after realizing that their weapons did not even do any damage to the drones.

The aerial beasts fired back at them and the soldiers' thick body armors did nothing to stop the energy bullets fired their way. The soldiers appeared defenseless in front of these fighter drones despite them wearing full body armors. Their bodies were like plastics full of water suddenly punctured by a thick needle. 

"Ahhhhh!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Their body dropped on the ground one by one, while the lucky survivors scrambled to find a place to hide. 

They continued firing shots at the drones, but all of it was futile. More and more soldiers died and the remaining few hid behind the buildings.

A soldier with a bloodied left shoulder hid behind the walls of a nearby building. He glanced at his dying comrades with an aching heart. He then spoke over the radio, his face was filled with sweat.

"This is Lieutenant Bu Angka, requesting for argghhh..."

His body became a human sieve in less than a few seconds, and blood flowed out from the holes on his body. The shocked look was still evident on his face as his body crumpled on the ground.

In front of him was a robed 'man' holding an energy rifle aimed at him. He then continued moving and searched for other humans.

Sima Ying came running inside Cale's room.  Brogen and Atlas who were guarding the room did not stop her from going inside.

Cale glanced at the worried look of Sima Ying and he felt that something wasn't right.

Sima Ying handed her phone to Cale who received it silently.

"Hello..." He spoke while waiting for the other party to speak.

"Alliance Head, this is Sima Fenglun. Beijing China is under attack and their defense force is trying to defend their capital city, but I doubt if they can hold on for long. In less than an hour, Beijing will fall. We are waiting for your orders, Alliance Head." Sima Fenglun, the former patriarch of the Sima Family spoke in a weak voice. He appeared tired and weary, but he tried his best to sound normal.

"I will send a thousand elite soldiers and a hundred fighter drones to aid China, just make sure to stay away from the battle before their arrival." Cale was not surprised at the sudden attack. He already expected it after he broke through to the Saint-Class level. 

He knew that there were bound to be Saint-Class level fighters among them. With his sudden breakthrough, the cunning demi-humans would surely attack earlier than they had planned.

'They want me to show myself!' Cale thought to himself.

"Roger that." Sima Fenglun answered snappily.

Cale handed the phone back to Sima Ying and hugged the beauty in his arms to console her. He rubbed her head gently and spoke in a mild tone.

"Don't worry, we will try our best to help as many people as possible."

"Mmn." Sima Ying nodded her head, but she was still worried about her family and country.

The attack on China was broadcasted live all around the globe. Everyone saw the tragic deaths of countless people in Beijing. Humanity was in a state of panic after seeing the futuristic drones with advanced weapons attached to their wings. 

The Internet by the surprising news. Videos and images about Beijing China's fate were posted on almost all social media sites. It sent fear to the neighboring countries, like Korea, India, and Vietnam. While the rest of humanity were fearful of what the future may hold for them.

"What the hell happened to China?"

"Is this some sort of alien invasion? Look at those drones. Our drones are not capable of traveling that fast in the air. And what the fuck are those guns attached to their bodies?!"

"This video is legit right?"

"Fool! Look at the sender, it is China's local media who posted it online."

Several big countries prepared their soldiers to send aid, while also bolstering the defenses of their own countries. While the other countries continued to gather more information.
