Chapter 935: Chapter 446: 9 Black Holes_2
Soon, more than ten fighter jets arrived near the Black Hole, and without hesitation, immediately formed a combat formation and began attacking the Praying Mantises.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
For a moment, a barrage of artillery fire lit up the high sky, illuminating it as bright as day.
The Praying Mantises, being creatures capable of high-speed flight, not a single attack from the dozens of fighter jets could hit them directly.
Fortunately, their main purpose wasn’t to attack the enemy but to drive them away. They were worried that hurting the enemy might enrage them, so the fighter jets were actually firing colorful flares similar to fireworks, big in sound but little in impact, while the light and shadows were intensely vibrant.
Under the exploding fireworks, the Praying Mantises indeed panicked. After erratically flying around for a while and realizing there was no escape, they quickly flapped their wings and flew high back into the Black Hole, disappearing from sight.
"Lead, follow and take a look, but be extremely careful. Retreat immediately if there’s any danger..."
Seeing that the Praying Mantises had been successfully driven away, the people at the command center breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly issued new orders.
"Roger." One of the fighter jets immediately broke formation, heading straight towards the dark entrance overhead, intending to pass through the Black Hole just like the Praying Mantises did.
However, the moment the fighter jet surged through the Black Hole, it simply passed unobstructed through the other side of the image in the sky.
"Reporting, can’t get through the Black Hole; it doesn’t actually exist..." the fighter jet pilot immediately reported back to the ground.
"It doesn’t exist? What..."
The people in the command center looked at each other, dumbfounded.
The Praying Mantises had passed through the Black Hole and gone back, but their people couldn’t go through; this meant—it was a one-way portal!
Only creatures from the other side could invade them, yet they couldn’t go the other way...
"This is bad..."
The commander let out a silent sigh. If it were a two-way passage, it would be somewhat manageable; they would only need to fly to the other side, find a way to block the entrance, or cover it with something.
But now that they couldn’t get through, it meant they couldn’t do anything but watch helplessly as creatures from the other side continuously invaded...
The situation had indeed become as bad as it could get!
"Hiss..."
As everyone in the command rooms was busy coming up with a strategy, they suddenly heard a hissing sound through the communicator.
This was certainly not made by a pilot, but a sound received through a pilot’s amplifying speaker.
"What’s happening?" the commander quickly asked, picking up the communicator.
"Report, the Praying Mantis has come out of the portal again..."
"What?" Everyone was startled.
"No, it hasn’t completely come out... The Praying Mantis’s head and body just emerged from the Black Hole, but the rest of its body seems to have been bitten by something. The Praying Mantis let out a pitiful cry and then was dragged back by whatever was behind it..." the fighter pilot reported as succinctly as possible on what he had seen.
"Where’s the footage?"
The technicians hurriedly pulled up the real-time footage from the fighter jet.
Everyone crowded around to watch the screen, which was facing the Black Hole. Indeed, the head of what had been a dragonfly-like creature emerged again, but right after that, something even more massive welled up from behind it.
By enlarging the image, everyone finally saw that what emerged behind the Praying Mantis was a gigantic open maw. After the Praying Mantis screamed, it was swallowed whole by the creature.
Cold sweat broke out on everyone’s foreheads. To them, the Praying Mantises were formidable enough, but what level of creature could swallow one whole?
The next moment, another voice came through the communicator.
"Not good, the Black Hole is collapsing, get clear!"
As soon as the giant mouth had devoured the Praying Mantis, a vast amount of mud and rubble started falling from beneath the Black Hole, with the velocity increasing rapidly.
All the surrounding fighter jets quickly dodged in all directions.
After several seconds of soil falling, a massive chunk of earth, a hundred meters across, broke off from within the Black Hole and plummeted towards the ground.
And the Black Hole in the sky, due to the fall of this clump of dirt, instantly expanded to more than double its size outward.
"Evacuate the civilians!" It was all the command room could manage to order in response.
"Boom!"
About a minute and a half later, the huge chunk of earth crashed to the ground with a thunderous noise that echoed across the entire city, causing the ground itself to tremble three times.
The dust kicked up flew nearly a thousand meters into the air and then fell in all directions, nearly covering half of the city with its dispersed cloud of dust.
The falling chunk hit right in the middle of a commercial street near the city center of V City. With its impact, it instantly submerged the brightly lit street in darkness, turning it into ruins akin to the aftermath of a war.
Fortunately, the evacuation had started half an hour earlier, and by this point, the crowds near this street had been cleared, so the impact caused almost no actual casualties.
Even so, such a colossal object crashing to the ground immediately set off a wave of screams throughout the city.
Those who had previously been reluctant about the evacuation were now scrambling to flee from the impact zone.
The area around the impact site was instantly vacated, creating a wide, empty no-man’s-land.
About a minute after the fall, the surrounding noise finally quieted down.
At the impact site, the accumulated mud and sand had formed a small hill.
At a certain moment, the side of this small hill began to move, and a large head pushed its way out from the mound, two-thirds of which was a gaping mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth.
