Although the Earth of the DC universe cannot be said to be home to all races, the humans living on the surface are by no means the only ones.
Many years ago, there was a huge empire called Atlantis. Compared with humans at the same time, its highly developed civilization and technology were no more than nuclear bombs and slingshots. Yes, not a metaphor. A laser cannon was flying all over the sky.
Swords, spears, spears and human sea tactics.
The Atlanteans themselves are also different from humans. Although they all have the same appearance, the former have innate extraordinary physiques and stronger physical fitness, and most of them look down on humans who are like crude gorillas.
However, everything that goes great must come crashing down.
In pursuit of greater technological power, the King of Atlantis suffered a backlash, causing a disaster that caused the entire country's land plates to collapse and crack, and then sank into the ocean.
After experiencing a near-extinction disaster, the tenacious Atlanteans survived and adapted to the underwater environment.
In addition, the unified kingdom was divided into seven.
They are the orthodox Kingdom of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Zebel which is the only one that retains the human form, the Fisherman Kingdom where all the people are mermaids, the Saltwater Country where everyone has crabs and lobsters per capita, and the Trench Tribe who sank into the Mariana Trench and all the people degenerated into brutal monsters.
, the country of the Betrayer whose territory became the Sahara Desert and perished, and the country of the Lost whose territory was unknown but was actually sealed.
In short, there are currently only four kingdoms under the sea.
Countless years have passed, and they have long been independent of each other. The other three countries can at most openly respect the orthodox kingdom of Atlantis, but secretly compete with each other, or they may not interfere with each other.
Today, for the saltwater country, it is unremarkable.
Because the territory is located in the area of submarine volcanoes, in order to adapt to the high-heat environment, the original appearance of humans has long changed, evolving into humanoid creatures that resemble lobsters and crabs. The thick carapace protects the fragile flesh and blood, and also isolates them from the constant high temperature.
and water pressure.
So, in the light of volcanic magma, the entire saltwater country is like a steaming oven with red light, and the people are like super giant seafood scurrying around in the hot pot?
Compared with the other three countries, the Saltwater Country does not have any beautiful environment at all. Bare rugged stone peaks are scattered in the undersea mountains. Occasionally, hot air flows from the cracks in the seabed. The dull seawater is a dark red like purgatory.
Atmosphere.
The urban architecture doesn't show that this is an ancient country with thousands of years of history, but the rough architectural style fits the image of the people very well. There are countless caves sunken into the huge mountain rock walls, which contain their factories and so on.
The facilities may seem rough and crude at first glance, but they are actually full of black technology. After all, it is a branch of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and there is a limit to how advanced technology can be.
Due to its proximity to submarine volcanoes, the saltwater country relies on developed geothermal energy.
"You brats, give me your best effort!"
"Granny, those kingdoms usually look down on us, saying that we are hot-tempered and paranoid. When I think of this, I feel so proud!"
"Hahaha, that's right, we are just irritable and stubborn, and we will do whatever we don't accept!"
In a military camp, a group of saltwater soldiers who look like crabs and lobsters are practicing and competing. They all hold machetes or spears with their big pliers, and they are training with cold weapons.
Hua Hua Hua~
A huge eel, hundreds of meters long, swam in the water above our heads, and a coconut crab nearly a hundred meters long crawled on the ridge from time to time.
These monster-like underwater creatures are not living creatures, but bionic machines unique to the Saltwater Country, which are their transportation vehicles. Of course, they can be converted into war machines or mobile fortresses when necessary.
"what is that?"
"Where is it? Let me take a look."
The two lobster soldiers riding mechanical lobsters stopped patrolling and looked at the distant city outside.
At the same time, a turtle-shaped patrol warship behind him also stopped, and the officers inside used telescope-like tools for observation.
In his field of vision, a small gray dot was like a bullet that submerged into the deep sea but ignored the water pressure, dragging out an extremely long burst of water that could not be seen to the end, making him feel that it was approaching at an absurdly high speed.
WTF?
Our jet lobster doesn't have this speed, right?
Soon, the sound of explosions as a large amount of sea water was torn apart resounded throughout the city.
I saw a cavity forming wherever Chu Xin passed. Since there was no tendency to slow down at all, the dull explosions continued, like the doomsday trumpet when the demon army came.
But that was not an army, but a lone person.
It cannot be called a human being. The soldiers of Saltwater Kingdom have never seen such an ugly and ferocious creature. Its burly torso, ferocious bone spurs, deep eyes, and the red light of energy that bursts out and penetrates the flesh when the heart beats are all...
It sent shivers down their spines, and they experienced the cold of winter for the first time on top of the volcano.
"Enemy attack!"
boom--
A deafening roar suddenly sounded, reaching the ears of every person in Saltwater Country.
With bad tempers and tough personalities, when they learned that there was an enemy invasion, their first reaction was shock, followed by rage, without fear or flinching.
No, the entire nation of Xianshui was on alert. The soldiers took out their hot and cold weapons and boarded combat vehicles, then returned to their respective posts to prepare.
All the bionic warships stopped their industrial tasks and swam to the city gate to take a stance. The claws on their abdomens adjusted the angles of their joints, and the tips of them were the muzzles of cannons.
In the spacious square at the back, trebuchets rose up, and the burning spherical rocks were automatically filled.
Wow——
The military had just been halfway deployed when Chu Xin burst into their sight with thunderous force.
When he was approaching 500 meters, he stepped on a ridge to run again, and jumped violently.
Bang!
In an instant, a water column penetrated one of the strongest crab fortresses in the saltwater country. As the flames filled the air, Chu Xin fell rapidly from above, his whole body shining with red arcs, and he hit the city gate heavily.
Just from the impact of the spilled energy, the soldiers who had no time to dodge were like a pile of hard-shell seafood exploded by the anchor, with rotten meat sticking to the broken shells and splattering everywhere.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "My people, open fire!"
Just when everyone was stunned to the point of being stunned, the huge king appeared holding a coral-like red trident high. His roar was undoubtedly a hot-blooded charge horn, which immediately brought everyone back to their senses and launched attacks on Chu Xin.
Attack violently.
Countless crabs and lobsters are armed with crude firearms, from which they fire out streaks of high-heat red beams. The high-heat beam cannons fired by warships also have the same energy attributes, and are all geothermal energy weapons adapted to local conditions.
At the same time, more than a dozen trebuchets also threw out exploding flints one after another. They would explode after hitting, and they were obviously filled with explosives similar to gunpowder.
However, no matter whether it was a thermal bullet, a beam, or a flint with a diameter of more than ten meters, it would be of no avail if it fell on Chu Xin.
Bang!
Chu Xin casually exploded a flint, but neither the high heat nor the explosion could cause any effective damage to his skin.
With a "swish", he jumped up and landed in the middle of the city where soldiers were swarming without fear. On the way, he grabbed an eel-shaped warship more than 100 meters long with one hand and threw it towards the side.
On the hilltop surrounded by soldiers, rocks suddenly collapsed and screams broke out.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The king was shocked. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Chu Xin with a trident, looking like a fierce general.
When the other soldiers saw this, they all charged away regardless of their own safety.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xin's chest bloomed with a dazzling dark red halo, and in the next second, dense and thick arcs of electricity were released from his body. They were intertwined and woven into an airtight net. The nets formed a multi-dimensional network.
With him as the center, it exploded in all directions.
Blazing electric shock wave!
boom--
When he saw the devastating light, the king murmured "natural disaster" in horror.
In an instant, under the tragic gaze of countless people in Saltwater Country, the king who was only a dozen meters away was swallowed up in an instant, then shattered and melted into ashes. His armor, the strongest shell in the country, only lasted for two seconds.
But there is no need for them to be overly sad.
Because the scope of the shock wave is so large that it covers the entire saltwater country.
