Chapter 1372: The Advancing Sadako

Chapter 1373: The Advancing Sadako

"For this round, I've simulated it twenty-six times. This strategy is the only one that might eliminate that monster... If he still doesn't die after this, then I truly have no other options."

Miko paused for a moment, then changed her tone.

"Of course, this isn't to say I lack ability. It's just that the conventional weapons of this era aren't powerful enough...

If you could get me more advanced equipment and units, like Battlecruisers, Ghosts, Infestors, Immortals from StarCraft... or Prism Tanks, Mind Control Towers from Red Alert 2, or Wave-Force Tanks from Red Alert 3... I could handle ten more monsters like him!"

The figure in military uniform was somewhat speechless. "Miko, this world isn't a war simulation game..."

"Oh... perhaps not."

Miko neither confirmed nor denied it.

No sooner had she spoken than several screens in the operations monitoring room lit up again. Drones were transmitting real-time footage from the explosion's wreckage, displaying it before the short-haired girl.

"Here it comes!"

Miko's entire face was nearly pressed against the screen, her expression serious as she watched the footage.

As the dust from the explosion gradually settled, a completely black figure lay motionless amidst the wreckage of numerous fighter jets and building debris, as if dead.

"Solved?!" Miko's eyes shone like stars, and her excitement was visibly apparent.

The next second,

The black figure on the screen slowly sat up...

The smile on Miko's face gradually vanished.

But what happened next made her expression change completely!

The dilapidated, jet-black figure was staring directly at her, its crimson eyes seemingly able to transcend the screen's barrier and lock onto Miko, who was thousands of miles away...

Then, he raised his hands... and actually passed directly through the screen's surface, clinging to its edges, slowly climbing out of the image!

Miko: !!!!!!!!

Miko, in her gaming chair, was utterly stunned by this sight. She stared blankly at the face emerging from the screen and the charred, damaged body, then began to scream uncontrollably!

"He... he he he... why can he climb out of the drone footage!!!"

"Is he a Sadako?!"

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?!!!"

However, no matter how much Miko screamed, the military figures who had been standing behind her remained silent. Miko turned back in surprise, only to find that the numerous people who had been watching her command were gone. All that remained was a bare, helpless white wall, blocking all her escape routes.

At this moment, Miko was speechless. She could strategize on the battlefield, command calmly, and secure victory from a thousand miles away... but an enemy climbing directly out of drone footage to interact with her was undoubtedly beyond her comprehension.

This was completely off the charts.

As Miko screamed, Chen Ling, cloaked in black, had fully emerged from the screen. He slowly stood up, his oppressively crimson eyes mockingly looking down at the small, helpless girl...

"Such a brilliant ambush, and the commander behind it is actually a girl... Interesting."

The girl before him had short black hair that didn't reach her shoulders, wore a simple black hoodie, and sat barefoot in her gaming chair. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary internet-addicted teenager.

If there was anything unique about her, it was her rather neutral voice, making it hard to distinguish her gender from a distance. However, upon closer inspection, her features were quite delicate.

The girl certainly exceeded Chen Ling's expectations; he found it difficult to reconcile her appearance with the strategic commander he had just observed.

From 3D reconnaissance, to non-contact conventional weapon testing, followed by overwhelming firepower, and finally the precise neutron bomb launch after a suicidal assault—each step was meticulously connected. This was never just a simple exchange of fire; the majority of it was a "test" of Chen Ling himself, as if a pair of eyes were observing and manipulating him from behind the battlefield.

Chen Ling, cloaked in black, had initially believed his power would allow him to completely disregard the conventional weapon attacks of this era. However, after this ambush, he realized he was mistaken... If he underestimated his opponents too much, he could still stumble in this period.

If Miko had been able to deploy not just one neutron bomb, but five or ten, he might indeed not have survived...

Unfortunately, Miko only had authorization to launch a single neutron bomb at that moment.

That neutron bomb could bypass physical defenses, directly destroying body cells and nerves. At this point, most of Chen Ling's red paper tentacles had dissipated, and his movements were somewhat stiff. Fortunately, with his recovery capabilities, it wouldn't take long to return to full strength... While this ambush did injure Chen Ling, that was the extent of it.

As Miko had just said, in this era where nuclear weapons were almost entirely deployed, other conventional weapons struggled to contend with him.

"You... you don't come any closer!!"

Miko stumbled to her feet, looking around as if searching for something to defend herself with. After fumbling about, she ultimately only managed to pull a large, gnawed-clean bone from a takeout bag beside the table, trembling as she held it up in front of her.

"Yi Shen Dao?"

Chen Ling sensed the faint divine aura emanating from her and spoke in surprise, "So you're a Yi Shen Dao practitioner... Why haven't I seen your name on Bureau 749's list?"

"I... I didn't join Bureau 749. After they discovered me, I was secretly transferred directly into the military," Miko answered instinctively.

"Oh~"

Chen Ling's monstrous face, shrouded in black, slowly approached Miko. He extended his hand, reaching for the girl's neck. "An interesting path... but unfortunately, you shouldn't have opposed this King."

A deadly shadow enveloped Miko's heart. The hand grew larger and larger in her terrified eyes. She tried to strike Chen Ling with the bone in her hand, but it only swung through empty air...

"I... I didn't know!! They told me they'd send me an RTX 5090 graphics card, so I came... You, don't come any closer!"

Miko screamed, closing her eyes tightly and swinging her arm forward. The next second, she seemed to trip over something behind her, losing her balance and plummeting downwards...

"Miko!"

A hand promptly grabbed her wrist, stabilizing her body in mid-air.

Miko opened her eyes, realizing only then that she had unknowingly backed up to the edge of the balcony. What she had tripped over was the raised lip of the balcony, and a military officer in front of her was extending a hand, firmly gripping her body, which was about to fall.

"Miko! What are you doing?!" the officer asked sternly.

"I..."

Miko froze for a long moment, finally realizing that what she had just seen was merely a hallucination. Yet, when Chen Ling's monstrous face, shrouded in black, reappeared in her mind, the seed of fear remained deeply rooted within her...

Her lips twitched slightly. Moments later, she was so terrified that she burst into tears and screams on the spot!
