Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 310

Chapter 310: Were the missiles just for show
“What? Alex leading the Invincible Ship alone to lure away the sea monster?”

“My goodness! Alex is truly amazing! The sea monster’s power is terrifying, yet he bravely stepped forward without hesitation!”

“Exactly, Alex could have easily left on his own, but he didn’t! On the Invincible Ship, the sea monster has no chance against him!”

“Alex is a hero, a superhero!”

At the moment when Alex commanded the Invincible Ship to draw the unicorn sea monster away, all survivors witnessed it.

After the defeat of the joint fleet, people’s sense of belonging to the Dawn and their loyalty to Alex reached an unprecedented high.

Not to mention, during the chaotic three months that followed, except for the survivors of the Dawn, almost everyone else lived in dire circumstances, and some even met untimely deaths!

This stark contrast made them proud to be part of the Dawn, cherishing their identity.

“Alex will surely slay the sea monster and return victorious!”

“Hail Alex!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Soon, others joined in.

Before long, the echoes grew stronger.

It turned into a powerful and unified chant.

The voices were resoundingly loud.

…

“Alex, we hope for your safe return! We’ll be waiting for you!”

Mia watched in worry as Alex disappeared into the distance.

Though they knew Alex had the ability to protect himself.

But that was all he could do.

The final outcome was hard to predict.

They feared something unexpected might happen.

Compared to Mia, Olivia appeared calmer and more emotionally composed.

“Don’t worry too much. I think we should trust Alex.”

“Think about it, how many times in the past has the danger been high? But Alex has always returned victorious.”

“I believe our worries are unnecessary.”

“Those dangers we imagine are just that—imagined. To Alex, they might be nothing!”

“Besides, Mia, think about it carefully. Have you really understood Alex? Do you truly know his strength? We don’t know. But he’s definitely more capable than us!”

Upon hearing this, Mia paused.

It seemed to make sense.

She truly didn’t know where Alex’s limits lay.

Hesitating for a moment, Mia said, “But shouldn’t we do something? Otherwise, we always feel like outsiders, never able to contribute.”

Olivia suddenly chuckled.

Mia glared at her disapprovingly, unsure what she found amusing.

Olivia quickly explained, “I’ve realized this long ago! Since you know we can’t currently help Alex, we should focus on enhancing our abilities!”

“How do we enhance them?”

Mia was confused.

They were already level sixty, unable to increase their levels further.

“Skills!”

Olivia reminded her, “Don’t forget, we’ve accumulated a fair amount of Originium from the recent battle, enough to upgrade our skills significantly!”

Upon hearing this, Mia had a sudden realization.

Indeed, they had harvested a substantial amount of Originium from annihilating the joint fleet.

Although most was left by Alex, a portion was allocated to them.

Even though it was just a small amount, it was enough for them to upgrade their skills once!

To level three!

…

Unnoticed, dawn had already broken.

The dazzling sunlight scattered like fragments of gold across the ocean, shimmering.

The Invincible Ship had long ceased its stealth mode and was speeding ahead.

But that wasn’t all.

During its high-speed journey, it continually fired cannons or torpedoes, attacking the unicorn sea monster trailing behind.

The sea monster grew increasingly furious, relentlessly pursuing the Invincible Ship with a determination to destroy it.

“At this rate, even without using missiles, given enough time, we could exhaust it to death.”

Alex stood on the rear deck, eyes fixed on the unicorn sea monster behind.

With daylight, he finally saw the sea monster’s complete form.

In truth, its appearance was somewhat normal, resembling a sperm whale.

However, it was much larger in size than a sperm whale.

Moreover, it possessed an enormous, sharp horn.

Overall, it was a striking crimson, eerie in its appearance.

And its size rivaled that of an aircraft carrier.

It was imposing!

If it caught up with the Invincible Ship, it could likely destroy it outright.

However, judging by the sea monster’s speed, accomplishing this would be quite challenging!

A longer pursuit might deplete its stamina.

Eventually, it would become an easy target.

Nathan stood beside Alex, nodding.

“Indeed, the sea monster is still a living creature, its stamina isn’t infinite. If we keep this up, it’ll tire out eventually.”

“But I feel like that could take a while. Marine life is used to traversing vast distances in the ocean—it’s routine!”

Alex nodded.

In theory, they could slowly wear down the sea monster to death.

But it didn’t seem practical.

At least, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Alex didn’t really fancy that crude method.

Were the missiles just for show?

After all, he was the man with unlimited missiles!

Subsequently, Alex ordered the Invincible Ship to enter stealth mode.

Instantly, the Invincible Ship disappeared from the unicorn sea monster’s view.

The sea monster was momentarily stunned.

“Roar!”

It snorted angrily, its nostrils contracting, emitting a violent sound as it aimlessly swam in the sea.

During this time, the Invincible Ship swiftly increased the distance from the unicorn sea monster to a safe level.

Soon, radar and sonar systems locked onto the sea monster.

“Fire missiles!”

A fierce determination gleamed in Alex’s eyes.

The threat from the unicorn sea monster was too great.

It had to be neutralized!

Boom!

Boom!

One anti-ship missile and one anti-submarine missile were launched.

In an instant, two flames shot up into the sky and quickly descended into the area where the unicorn sea monster was.

Bang!

Amidst a massive explosion, the sea echoed with the piercing wail of the unicorn sea monster.

Simultaneously, a large amount of water vaporized into steam due to the high temperature.

The massive size of the unicorn sea monster was both its advantage and disadvantage.

In front of missiles, it was practically a living target.

As expected, without any surprises, it was directly hit by the two missiles.

Moreover, the missiles were much more powerful compared to cannons and torpedoes.

Especially the anti-ship missile, renowned as a carrier killer, designed specifically to attack naval vessels.

…

Above the Invincible Ship, Alex had already taken flight.

Watching the distant, pitiful cries of the unicorn sea monster, he wore a satisfied smile.

“Indeed, the power of missiles is formidable! While not lethal to the unicorn sea monster yet, with enough hits, it will eventually be killed—it’s just a matter of how many hits!”

With this in mind, Alex issued another order to fire missiles.

This time, it wasn’t anti-ship missiles, but anti-submarine missiles!

As for why…

Alex suspected that after the sea monster realized the severity of the first attack, it would quickly dive underwater when the missiles approached.

At that point, anti-ship missiles primarily used for surface targets wouldn’t be as effective.

Instead, anti-submarine missiles would unleash their full devastating power.

Boom!

Boom!

Two enormous fire dragons soared into the sky.

Then, they descended straight toward the unicorn sea monster with pinpoint accuracy.
