Chapter 275 Global Extermination
After gazing at the starry sky for a long time, Song Chen took out his phone from his pocket and scrolled to his contact list.
The list is long: Zhou Wangyue, Li Qingcang, Qi Shanhe, Lu Zhengbei, Shen Qingshan, Han Duo, Wang Zhan...
He scrolled down several pages before finding the name and pressed the dial button.
It rang three times before being answered.
"Feed? Xiao Chen?" The voice of the mother, Li Xiuying, came from the phone, with the sound of a spatula hitting a wok in the background.
"Still not asleep so late?"
"Mom, I'm in Beijing."
"Going to Beijing? Didn't the news say you were in Tianjing? Why did you go to Beijing?"
"Is another war about to break out? Have you eaten yet?"
Li Xiuying's voice carried the characteristic, concerned murmur of a mother.
"We've eaten. Tianhai won the battle long ago; it's time for the next battle."
Song Chen answered them one by one.
"It's good that we won, it's good that we won."
Li Xiuying repeated it twice, and the sound of the spatula stopped.
"Your dad's right there, I'll have him answer it."
A scraping sound came from the phone, then the father, Song Zhengye's voice rang out: "Son."
"dad."
"I saw the news about Tianhai. The city defense commander mentioned your name in an interview, saying that one person pushed the beast tide back into the sea. Your mother cried at that time."
"I didn't cry, I just got sand in my eyes," Li Xiuying's voice came from the background.
Song Chen smiled and asked, "Dad, are you all alright?"
"Great, Anning City is very safe. The strange beasts have long been wiped out."
"Everyone knows my son is a councilor in Daxia, and they all take good care of us."
After thinking for a moment, Song Chen said, "Dad, Mom, there's something I need to tell you."
The other end of the phone went silent.
"The global counter-offensive is about to begin. I will go and kill all the beast kings in the world, one by one."
"Once we've killed them all, there won't be any more monsters left."
The silence lasted for several seconds.
"How long are you going to be gone?" Li Xiuying's voice changed.
"I don't know, but I guarantee that once the killing is over, the world will be at peace."
"Then you can go wherever you want, and you won't have to live inside the high walls of the base city anymore."
"We can go to all the fields and mountains outside Anning City, and we can go to all the lands in the world."
Li Xiuying did not answer, but Song Chen could hear her trying to suppress her breathing.
Song Zhengye's voice rang out again: "Son, just how strong are you now?"
"I saw on the news that you're already the number one person in Great Xia."
"More or less."
After a few more seconds of pause, Song Zhengye breathed a sigh of relief on the other end.
"When you got into Tianhai University, your mother and I couldn't sleep all night."
"Later, when you became a member of parliament and made the news, your mother put that newspaper under her pillow and looked at it every night."
"Now you're saying you're going to kill the world's beast kings..."
"You've come this far."
Song Chen held his phone, momentarily dazed, then said, "Wait for me to bring Heping back."
"it is good."
"Waiting for you to come back."
Li Xiuying's voice squeezed in again: "Xiao Chen, you must be careful."
"Okay, Mom."
The communication was disconnected.
Song Chen put his phone back in his pocket and stood on the terrace for a while longer.
The wind made the straps of his Northern Darkness armor sway gently, and the moonlight stretched his shadow long.
Then he turned around and walked down the stairs.
……
An hour later.
Song Chen stood on the outer edge of the city wall of Shangjing, facing west.
Han Duo stood three steps behind him, holding a newly updated intelligence summary in his hand.
His expression turned sour after reading the intelligence.
"Associate Song, new intelligence has been gathered."
"Previous intelligence on the hideouts only covered the territory and surrounding areas of Great Xia. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs worked overnight to coordinate with intelligence agencies of various countries, it obtained complete distribution data of the Beast Kings worldwide."
"How many?"
"More than three hundred, of which about fifty are on land and the rest are all in the ocean."
Song Chen was thinking; three hundred heads, a little more than he had expected.
He said over two hundred in parliament last night, which was an estimate based on the known intelligence of Great Xia.
Now that we have global data, the numbers have increased significantly.
Fifty are on land, and two hundred and fifty are in the sea.
The ocean is the birthplace and lair of mythical creatures, so this proportion is not surprising.
"Intelligence agencies from various countries have repeatedly verified that this number is at most an underestimate. There are many deep-sea areas that human probes cannot enter, and there may be undiscovered sixth-order areas."
"It's alright, we can just kill them one by one."
Han Duo closed the information panel and stood at attention: "I'll go prepare the spaceship immediately."
"No need," Song Chen waved his hand to stop him.
"The spaceship is too slow, I have a better way."
He closed his eyes, and his all-seeing eye spread westward.
After being infused with starlight, his mental strength increased to over 60,000, and his perception range was several times larger than before.
Consciousness spread westward like a tide, crossing the borders of Bactria, the deserts and mountains of Central Asia, and even further continents, extending all the way to the limits of perception.
He locked onto his first target.
On the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, deep in the Turkmen wilderness, lies a sixth-tier sand scorpion king.
It is 900 meters long and its blood and energy are estimated to be around 250,000.
The surrounding area was densely populated with psionic light spots, with more than fifty of them being of the fifth rank, and those of the fourth rank and below covering the entire desert.
Song Chen opened his eyes and activated the Void Travel feature.
Space folded before him, the air on the walls of the capital city twisted for a moment, and his body vanished from the spot.
Han Duo stood there, looking at the empty edge of the city wall in front of him.
He took a deep breath and took out his communicator.
"Parliament Command, Han Duo reports: Representative Song has departed; objective: global eradication."
……
Central Asia, the Turkmen desert.
This desert stretches from the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea to the western foothills of the Tian Shan Mountains, covering an area of over three million square kilometers.
Fifty years ago, this area was a mix of grasslands and oases, with shepherds' tents and remnants of the Silk Road.
After the psionic eruption, the creatures here mutated into various desert beasts: sand scorpions, rock lizards, venomous snakes, and all sorts of things whose names were unknown.
There are no human base cities, no defense lines, and no garrison troops.
For fifty years, this land has been the absolute territory of strange beasts.
The Sand Scorpion King's lair is deep in a wind-eroded rock forest, where sandstone has been carved by wind and sand into strangely shaped pillars and arches, rising tens of meters high from the ground, like a dead city.
The Sand Scorpion King is located in the very center of the rocky forest. Its 900-meter-long body is mostly buried in the sand, with only its back covered by a dark yellow carapace and a pair of huge pincers showing.
Its shell is over ten meters thick, covered with rough, granular protrusions, and its color is exactly the same as the surrounding sandstone.
Around the Sand Scorpion King, dozens of fifth-tier Sand Scorpions were scattered throughout the rocky forest, each over 300 meters long.
Sand scorpions of the fourth rank and below covered the entire desert, stretching from the edge of the rocky forest all the way to the horizon, their numbers so great that the sand itself seemed to be slowly writhing.
