CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 280: CITYWIDE DEATH TRAP! (PART 7)

Everyone listened to He Zhen’s explanation and gave approving looks. Concentrating the core forces in the city defense system area, rather than being scattered within the city, is indeed the ideal plan.

This way, the city walls not only serve the external defenses but can also link with the interior to form an island-style defense.

"Captain He has considered this comprehensively. Once defensive systems are established at places like the train station, airport, steel plant, and Jalei radar array station, it will indeed be easy to defend and difficult to attack." Zhao Yu nodded while looking at the holographic sand table.

The structural strength of these special buildings in Xilan City is incomparable to ordinary residential buildings. They were strategically considered during construction in preparation for wartime crises. The average wall thickness of residential buildings in Xilan City exceeds 80 cm, while these special buildings exceed 100 cm. Coupled with the steel torrent defenses of the convoys, it indeed greatly ensures sturdiness.

"Now, the second issue: how to kill the S-Class Cloud Black Thorn before September dawn?!" Zhao Yu looked at Wen Zhuo.

Wen Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Currently, there are 112 Frenzy Level and 1201 Vajra Level individuals throughout the city. According to Captain He’s arrangements, I suggest selecting a portion of elites suitable for mobile operations based on superpower traits to form a large hunting attack group in a 5-person team structure, under my command. First, we’ll try to eliminate that Abyss Worm. If that S-Class Cloud Black Thorn appears, we’ll launch initial contact attacks to understand and judge its weaknesses, then utilize the hunting group’s high mobility across three defense strongholds to attract and transfer it, leveraging the strongholds and aerial firepower to attempt to eliminate it."

"It sounds feasible, but perhaps a bit too optimistic." At this point, Qin Xueming spoke, "If that S-Class Abnormal Body chooses to directly attack a stronghold defense area, with the other two unable to assist, wouldn’t we face an embarrassing situation of being defeated one by one?"

"Makes sense, but we can’t have everyone in the city defending just one place, right?" Shi Deyuan said sternly, "Tens of thousands of people can’t effectively deploy firepower, and it would be troublesome if internal chaos ensues first."

Wen Zhuo said at this time, "My idea is to use the strong offensiveness of high-level superpowers, such as the Fire Element, laser, Telekinesis, Han Jun’s Water Element, and my Magnetic system..."

"That way, the main pressure falls on this superpower hunting group," Han Jun frowned. "We must move across the entire city, which is a significant issue of stamina depletion. Xilan is not a small city, the three stronghold points in the southeast, north, are tens of kilometers apart, not everyone can fly."

"If all the troops and convoys are concentrated at the three defensive strongholds, the city interior will be quite vulnerable. Even with the superpower hunting group, facing such a monster level without strong fire support would be challenging." Zhang Tianfang said with a somber expression.

"I can arrange for Dreadnought Level to provide aerial support within the city." At this moment, He Zhen stated, "However, aerial support can only respond to limited situations."

"Yes, indeed..." Qian Deli nodded in agreement. "After all, they are A-level and S-Class monsters. No matter how strong we superpower users are, we might just be a bite away."

"Are there any other plans?"

He Zhen knitted his brows slightly, "We could concentrate some heavy weapons and missiles, which might improve the situation."

"Currently, we are uncertain about the monster’s missile defense capability. If, according to Captain Yu, it has some kind of superpower shield, it means conventional weapons might not be effective against it." Han Jun said.

"Agreed, if it’s an extremely special defense mechanism, our preparations might all be in vain." Qin Xueming also said worriedly.

Lin Xian stood at the far end of the group, listening to Han Jun and Qin Xueming, instantly recalling his AT Force Field Shield.

If that monster has such a defense mechanism, it would indeed be very tough to deal with.

"Hey." Just then, a quiet voice came close to Lin Xian. He looked sideways and saw it was Zhou Wuer.

"I saw in the mission log that you’ve used sun-creating abilities outside Xilan City before, that might be unexpectedly effective."

"That was because it was daytime with sunlight." Lin Xian responded softly, not knowing if his Gravitational Lens could perform like it did when dealing with that red light head before.

"It’s okay. I think your proposed plan is very bold. It might indeed turn the tide, quite insightful."

Lin Xian sighed slightly upon hearing this. To him, relying on Xilan City’s defense and teamwork to solve the Scout before retreating was the best plan, but it didn’t mean it would succeed. Dealing with an S-Class Abnormal Body, even the Phoenix Society was uncertain, and no success case was reported globally.

Lin Xian looked at everyone. At this point in the discussion, they fell into a silent stalemate. City defense strategies are not hard to arrange, but the core issue lies in handling the S-Class Abnormal Body. If it can’t be resolved, all city defense efforts are meaningless.

The problem is, with three defense lines, it’s impossible to concentrate to deal with an S-Class Abnormal Body, and it’s also impractical to gather all tens of thousands of people in one place. That would mean abandoning the advantage of the three city wall defenses and base weapons.

Wen Zhuo’s plan of concentrating strong superpower users for city interior containment attacks seems to be the best option, but everyone knows that even with over 100 Frenzy Level, tackling an S-Class Abnormal Body is a herculean task.
