Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 88 Arrival at the Military Region

Southeast Military Region, Headquarters.

Outside, the newly risen sunlight appeared unusually thin, obscured by thick clouds, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.

A dignified man in military uniform walked out of the command post.

In his hand, he was also carrying a small silver-gray box.

"Jiang Lan Inspector".

Looking at the newcomer, Jiang Lan could roughly guess his identity.

"Commander Li Dawei."

"It's me." The imposing man raised his head. "Time is of the essence. Let's talk about other things after we defeat the beast tide. This is your Black God Set."

As he spoke, Li Dawei handed the silver-gray box in his hand to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan took it and opened the box directly.

Lying inside was none other than his black wristband.

This was ordered to be delivered by Hong. Since Jiang Lan came to this base from South America, the Black God Suit had already been delivered in advance.

Jiang Lan was wearing an auxiliary optical computer on his left hand, which he had just obtained from the ruins of an ancient civilization.

He casually put the bracers of the Black God Set on his right hand.

A surge of blood flowed, slowly absorbed by the Black God Suit.

This pain was nothing to Jiang Lan.

He looked at Li Dawei and said:

"Would it be convenient for you to tell me the specific situation now?"

Li Dawei nodded.

"The beast tide has been assembled and is located 70 kilometers away. According to preliminary detection, there are at least a dozen lord-level monsters, and countless others of lower level."

"We have a total of five War Gods, and we are all assembled and ready to go to the front line at any time. We are just waiting for Inspector Jiang Lan to take your place."

The difference in combat power is... quite significant.

If he doesn't come, the five War Gods alone will have a hard time holding this military base against the beast tide.

But now that he's here, it doesn't matter.

"Okay!" Jiang Lan nodded. "I can handle those lord-level monsters. You guys go and deal with the other monsters."

Jiang Lan took on all the important tasks herself.

Nowadays, lord-level monsters pose no threat to him at all, especially with the defensive enhancement of the Black God Set. Those monsters might not even be able to break through his defenses.

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei looked at Jiang Lan with slight surprise.

Although Jiang Lan is already a powerhouse who has surpassed the God of War, isn't it a bit exaggerated for him to take on more than a dozen sea lord-level monsters by himself?

Before Li Dawei could ask any questions, a layer of black membrane covered Jiang Lan's entire body, making her look like a combat uniform.

"Let's not delay, let's get going."

This black membrane is the Black God Set.

Since the binding process of the Black God Set had already been completed once before, this binding went much more smoothly, and the rebinding was completed in less than a minute.

Li Dawei's eyes flickered for a moment, then he gritted his teeth.

"Walk!"

He believed that Jiang Lan, as a planetary-level powerhouse, would not speak without reason.

Moreover, Jiang Lan was recommended by Hong, who is currently the world's number one expert, so Li Dawei chose to trust Jiang Lan unconditionally.

Since he said it's no problem, then it's no problem!

"Get on the fighter jet first." As Li Dawei finished speaking, the hatch of a saucer-shaped fighter jet next to him opened automatically.

Jiang Lan didn't waste any words and stepped directly onto the fighter jet.

Although his own flight speed was much faster than that of the fighter jet, Li Dawei was not at the planetary level and could not keep up with him at all.

Inside the fighter jet, Li Dawei gave orders to his men:

"To the front lines!"

After saying that, he sat down in the chair and said to Jiang Lan:

"Inspector Jiang, if we are to face the beast tide head-on later, please be extremely careful."

"I know." Jiang Lan agreed verbally, but she didn't really care about what Li Dawei said.

His strength meant that those lord-level monsters posed no threat to him.

Li Dawei was, after all, a high-ranking official, and he had the ability to see through people's hearts.

He could tell that Jiang Lan seemed somewhat indifferent to his instructions.

After thinking for a moment, Li Dawei said:

"Inspector Jiang, I know you are strong, but this beast tide is no simple matter either..."

"Hmm?" Jiang Lan asked curiously, "Not simple? In what way are they not simple?"

"Based on our investigation, the monsters in this beast tide seem to be unusually excited. As for the specific reason for this, we don't know yet."

"In short, this situation has never happened before, so Inspector Jiang Lan, you must not let your guard down!"

Although Li Dawei chose to trust Jiang Lan, he still couldn't help but give her a few more words of advice.

After hearing what Li Dawei said, Jiang Lan put away his previous nonchalant attitude and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Li Dawei grasped Jiang Lan's hand. "Inspector Jiang, the fate of tens of thousands of people in the entire military region is in your hands! Once the base is breached, the Jiangnan base city behind it will also be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

He had previously been indifferent to the beast tide, only wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits and sacrifice a few more monster corpses.

But upon hearing Li Dawei say this, pressure surged into Jiang Lan's heart like a tidal wave.

Just as Jiang Lan's thoughts were drifting, the butterfly-shaped fighter jet slowly descended to the ground.

Jiang Lan looked out the window and saw that directly below the fighter jet was a section of river.

However, at this time, the river channel was blocked by a large amount of reinforced concrete, and a war base made of reinforced concrete was built on it!

On the war base, thick cannon barrels protruded from their muzzles, reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight.

Jiang Lan had no doubt that a single shot could annihilate a large number of monsters.

But the cannons can only deal with monsters below the lord level.

Once a monster reaches the Lord level, its body becomes incredibly tough, rendering ordinary firearms ineffective.

Even some monsters at the level of beast generals might not be able to be dealt with by this cannon.

Not far from the war base, the water in the river was boiling, and every now and then several strange monsters would leap out of it.

These monsters came in various shapes and sizes, and Jiang Lan couldn't even name most of them.

Human exploration of the ocean has always been very limited.

After being exposed to the RR virus, all the original animals in the sea have evolved into monsters, making humans even more afraid to come into contact with the sea.

Therefore, humans have no information on most of the monsters in the sea.

Numerous sea monsters churned in the water, some launched into the air, others crawling out quickly, crashing into the walls of the war base with muffled thuds.

"All assembled, prepare for attack!"
