An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 324 Dead Zone
As Huang Anhua's voice fell silent, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence, and all the heroic spirits were stunned.

Nobody actually broke out?
In other words, both the plan to breach Black Death Prison with nuclear weapons and the plan to hold out and wait for reinforcements were fake.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes revealing a deep shock and barely suppressed panic.

Chu Xiu was somewhat better off. When he heard that the Black Death Pillar would take a full three days to transform into the Death Domain, he had a vague sense of unease.

This is clearly a strategy of attrition warfare aimed at minimizing losses once victory is assured.

If the government truly had a way to breach the Black Death Prison, the opposing side wouldn't be so unhurried, and would even be clustered together near the Black Death Pillar, practically abandoning the defense of the Black Death Prison's edge.

This shows that the other side is not afraid of the crowd attacking Black Death Prison at all!

Surprisingly, Ella actually guessed right.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Huang Anhua continued with a smile: "You guessed right. The plan to break through the Black Death Prison was deliberately leaked by an inside traitor. Our real purpose at the time was to ambush the enemy's demigods."

"Because on the very first day the Black Death Prison was formed, we had a demigod conceal his aura and cross the enemy's defenses to enter the Black Death Prison to investigate. But unfortunately, he not only failed to break through, but also got lost in the space where the Black Death Prison was formed."

Upon hearing this, everyone could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

They originally thought that now that the plan to break into the Black Death Prison had been completely scrapped, the government would organize everyone to escape, but they didn't expect that even the escape route would be blocked!
If even demigods can't escape, then they have absolutely no chance.

However, the group managed to remain calm, without panic or despair, simply waiting for Huang Anhua to continue. This made him nod with great satisfaction and say, "You all truly are the elite of China. It seems our choice was correct."

Only Chu Xiu, somewhat impatient, said in a deep voice, "Director Huang, please explain in detail what it means to be lost in the Black Death Prison? Didn't the observation station analyze before that as long as we mastered the method to resist the power of the Black Mist space, we would have a chance to get out? Could that report have been a false report deliberately released by the government?"

He couldn't help but be anxious, after all, he had personally sent his parents away!
Huang Anhua glanced at Chu Xiu: "It seems you've received that report."

"That report is real, but it's not comprehensive enough."

"Our government is blocking the news because the escape plan based on that report failed, and we lost a demigod."

"However, some self-righteous individuals managed to obtain this report through other channels, and there's nothing we can do about it. But even if these people don't flee, they will eventually surrender under pressure, so there's not much of a loss."

Chu Xiu's face twitched. He didn't care about the fleeing heroes. Even if all the deserters died, he wouldn't even flinch. What he cared about was his parents!

However, he forced himself to suppress his anxiety and tried his best not to let others notice anything amiss. He said solemnly, "If that's the case, aren't we forced into a dead end?"

Huang Anhua said, "Don't worry. Although that demigod's evacuation failed, he helped us determine the complete structure of the Black Death Prison through the communication methods he had prepared in advance."

"Actually, between the Black Death Prison and the outer demon world, there is another layer called the [Dead Zone Space]. All the awakened ones who left entered this space."

"The principle behind the invasion of extraterrestrial demons is actually the same as that of the Awakened Ones."

"Before entering the abyss, awakened beings need to enter the [Awakening Space]. This [Dead Zone Space] serves a similar function. All matter and energy first enter the [Dead Zone Space] as a transit station before being transmitted to our world."

"And this [Dead Zone] also possesses an extremely special property: it can distort the entire outer layer of Pengcheng into a higher-dimensional 'point' at a higher dimension."

"This means that even if the interference of the black mist is eliminated, because the space was already distorted, the person who finally escaped from the Black Death Prison did not arrive at Blue Star, but at the [Dead Zone Space]."

Huang Anhua's words were very profound, but Chu Xiu, having used the Garuda Wings for a long time, had a certain understanding of space travel and could roughly understand them.

The essence of space travel is actually jumping to another dimension and then jumping back.

Just like in three-dimensional space, no matter how large a two-dimensional plane is, its thickness is zero and its volume is zero. As long as it is folded continuously, a very large two-dimensional world can be contained in a very small volume.

In this way, one can achieve long-distance travel in the two-dimensional world by moving only a short distance in the three-dimensional world.

The same principle applies to three-dimensional space.

Huang Anhua continued, "The Dead Zone and the Black Death Prison in Pengcheng are like an hourglass, with the Dead Zone on top and Pengcheng below, and the two only intersect at the middle point."

"However, this point is a point in four-dimensional space!"

"To use a lower-dimensional space as an example, Pengcheng is like a circular painting, while the extraterrestrial demons wrap Pengcheng up like a wonton. In this way, the outermost layer of Pengcheng is completely pinched onto the 'pleat' at the top of the wonton."

Huang Anhua's words made everyone roughly understand.

However, this does not seem to help the current situation at all.

Chu Xiu carefully sensed it and found that the Blood Demon Avatar seemed to be in relatively good condition, which made him less anxious.

Although he has now lost control of Rasputin, Rasputin will fight to the death to protect Chu Xiu's parents as long as he doesn't want to be instantly killed by Chu Xiu the next time they meet.

Therefore, the Blood Demon Avatar is currently safe, most likely because the main forces of the extraterrestrial demon generals have descended upon Blue Star, making the [Dead Zone] relatively safe.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a bit.

"What is the government's countermeasure?" Chu Xiu asked.

Huang Anhua said, "We still need to rely on the power of nuclear weapons, working together from within and without!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's minds, which had finally managed to understand, were once again in a daze. Wasn't it said that no one had gone out? If they couldn't even send out messages, how could they coordinate an attack from the inside?

Seeing the puzzled crowd, Huang Anhua continued, "Information transmission is not limited to direct communication. The observation station in Pengcheng can analyze the changes in the black mist caused by external attacks, so the outside world can use the frequency of the attacks to transmit information in a way similar to Morse code."

"Although this information is not precise enough and can only be one-way, it is still sufficient to describe the approximate time of the attack."

“But this is still not right,” one of the heroic spirits who was well-versed in the laws of space frowned and said, “According to the theory just now, the space near the Black Death Prison has been distorted and all leads to the Dead Zone. So even if we launch an attack, those attacks should only fall into the Dead Zone, and there is no way to coordinate an attack from the inside or outside.”

"Furthermore, the black mist completely disrupted the space, making it impossible to determine the location of the bombardment based on the limited information transmitted by the shells," someone else said.

Those present were all spirits with computing power comparable to computers, and almost instantly someone pointed out Huang Anhua's problem.

The government had deceived everyone before, and now even the most loyal people are beginning to have doubts.

Having faith does not mean blindly following others; no one wants to be used as cannon fodder to attract attention anymore.

In response to these two questions, Huang Anhua smiled and said, "Let me give you a simple example."

"If we compare ourselves to people trapped inside a monster's belly, then the Black Death Prison is the monster's skin." "When the outside world attacks this monster, the special skin will instantly open a channel, shrink the energy of the attack, and project it into a bucket. This bucket is the Dead Zone Space."

"As for internal attacks, no matter which direction the attack is directed, it will be sent into the anus by the smooth belly, and then sprayed into the bucket from the anus."

"Our goal is to get our attack into the channel from the opposite direction."

Huang Anhua's metaphor is crude, but also very vivid, perfectly explaining the difference between inside and outside the Black Death Prison.

Following his line of thought, one of the heroic spirits came up with a solution: "In that case, the best way to attack the passage is to enter the 'barrel' first."

But at this moment, Chu Xiu quickly realized that something was wrong.

"No, it's definitely not that simple."

"If that's the case, then the [Dead Zone] becomes the key to breaking the deadlock."

"If that's the case, how could the Horned Demon allow so many people to enter the [Dead Domain Space] so easily through the Black Death Prison? And how could it direct all the passages leading to the outside world to the [Dead Domain Space]?"

Chu Xiu's words earned him an admiring look from Huang Anhua.

“That’s right, Comrade Qin makes a lot of sense. The reason why the other party is so at ease is that not only the outer layer of Pengcheng has been gathered into a four-dimensional point, but also the dead space that intersects with Pengcheng.”

"In other words, external attacks will be dispersed across the entire surface of the dead zone!"

"So when the nuclear bomb is detonated outside, all we can see is the sky in the dead zone like a meteor shower, shooting out high-energy rays in different areas."

"At least with our rudimentary understanding of space, it is impossible for us to find the energy transmission channel in reverse."

Imagine throwing a handful of sand onto the ground. Can you pinpoint the location of your hand based on the landing points of a few grains?

Huang Anhua's words silenced everyone again, and many people's faces showed an indescribable sense of frustration and despair.

At first, everyone thought that the Black Death Prison was just a solid barrier. Although they were shocked at the time, it was only because of the immense power of the extraterrestrial demons.

In everyone's mind, the extraterrestrial demons are indeed powerful, but they cannot change from one to one hundred, which is still understandable.

Later, they discovered the mysterious power of the black mist in manipulating space, which could still be attributed to the power of extraterrestrial demons.

But now, realizing that the Black Death Prison is far more complex and vast than they imagined, and that this complex combination is so intricately linked without revealing any flaws, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness surges up like a tide.

Whenever people think they have found a way to break the deadlock, they will find that it is just an illusion caused by their lack of understanding.

It's like facing a chess grandmaster. You think you've made a brilliant move, but in reality, the next dozen or so moves are all within the opponent's calculations, and in the end, you can only head towards a predetermined defeat without any suspense.

The extraterrestrial demons are not the powerful beasts that people once hunted in the abyss, but absolute powerhouses who have overwhelmed everyone in both wisdom and strength over countless years!
"Does that mean the Black Death Prison has absolutely no weaknesses?"

Even though everyone was a resolute heroic spirit, they couldn't help but feel a sense of despair at this moment.

Even Chu Xiu couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock except by brute force to smash the Black Death Prison.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was gradually becoming deathly silent, Huang Anhua slowly said, "No, there is still a way."

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they all looked at him. Under everyone's gaze, Huang Anhua slowly began to speak:
"Since we can't find a transmission channel, let's launch an attack on the entire Dead Zone simultaneously!"

At the same time, launch an attack on the entire dead zone!
The moment the words left his mouth, everyone's expressions became tense.

What kind of bullshit is this?
However, Chu Xiu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up!
Soon, the other heroic spirits, having calmed down, also realized that point!
"Director Huang, are you referring to the intersection of Pengcheng and the Dead Zone?"

“That’s right!” Huang Anhua nodded. “That point in the four-dimensional space can simultaneously guide to the edge of the entire dead zone! As long as a sufficiently strong attack is launched at that point, a sufficiently strong impact can be transmitted to the ‘channel’ formed by the black mist!”

As soon as the words were spoken, someone couldn't wait to ask, "So, has the government found the location of that point yet?"

Huang Anhua smiled faintly, pointed out the window, and at the end of his finger stood eight towering pillars.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious once again.

I initially thought the enemy's sudden retreat was to reduce their losses, but I never expected there to be such a scheme behind it!
"We originally planned to launch a surprise attack when the Horned Demons reached the central city area. After all, the further the front line retreats, the larger the area the enemy needs to defend, and the more dispersed their forces will be."

"Unfortunately, although the enemy was not sure whether we had discovered the secrets of the Black Death Prison, the enemy commander was obviously a meticulous person, and still mobilized troops in advance to set up safeguards."

"So now we have no choice but to launch a frontal assault."

"Furthermore, because attacking the entire Dead Zone simultaneously will cause most of the energy to be dispersed, with only a small portion able to enter the passage, this greatly increases the difficulty of conquering the Black Death Prison! It requires extremely strong energy output from both inside and outside!"

"I didn't lie to you completely before. There really are forty nuclear warheads, and even five super-powerful hydrogen bombs! These nuclear weapons will detonate simultaneously at the designated time!"

"Even so, only a top-tier Heroic Spirit who surpasses ordinary Heroic Spirits would have a chance to break through!"

After he finished speaking, everyone understood.

The people gathered here are all capable of breaking through the Black Death Prison! Other heroic spirits, even without the horned demons to stop them, simply cannot provide enough energy output! So they are completely useless!
Huang Anhua said solemnly, “The government has done everything it can. We have spread false information to confuse the enemy and make them think that we have not seen through the mystery of the Black Death Prison. After you leave, we will gather the heroic spirits who are sure to be loyal to the human race but are not that strong, and set up a second plan to feint an attack to attract fire.”

"Even so, the chances of the mission succeeding are still very low, but at this point we have no way out but to fight it head-on!"

Huang Anhua raised his head, and his square face, which had been expressionless, softened slightly:

"Next, the government will distribute all existing causal points, equipment, and items to you, allowing you to maximize your strength in these final forty-one hours!"

His gaze swept over the assembled heroes, and he solemnly placed his hand on his chest in a salute. The demigods behind him followed suit.

"Whenever China faces a crisis, there are always wise and courageous people who step forward. Today, we are facing the greatest crisis in the history of China, no, in the history of all mankind. And the only ones who have the chance to stop this crisis are us!"

"It is my honor to stand with you all in this national crisis. I will not say anything more. I just want you to know that the government will not forget your contributions, and the people will not forget your contributions!"

"I implore you all, follow me to defeat the enemy!"
