Chapter 664 Evacuation
“Fuck! Could it be...”
Wang Tao picked up the telescope and saw the fire in the distance, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Going further, you will find the location of the Red Maple Base, but the fire is in their direction!
As soon as he saw the fire, Wang Tao thought of that destructive magma monster!
Wang Tao didn't know much about this monster except for some basic data. Although it seemed at the time that the monster was stuck at the entrance of the cave, the cave seemed a little unusual. But with the monster's strength, it will come out sooner or later. It is possible that the monster came out just after Wang Tao left!
“Xiao Jin, hurry up!”
Wang Tao urged.
“Chirp~”
The golden eagle responded and immediately increased its speed.
Everyone else was also on alert, ready to fight at any time.
As the fire grew stronger, the golden eagle got closer and closer to the forest where the red maple base was located.
Finally, the golden eagle stopped.
Fire, fire everywhere!
Half the forest was on fire!
Deep in the mountains, you can still see lava flowing like a river!
A rolling heat wave hit our faces, making everyone's faces look bad.
However, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although the fire in the forest is very strong, it has not spread to the Red Maple Base. Xiao Jin, let's go and take a look!"
Chirp——
Xiao Jin endured the high temperature, turned a corner and rushed to the edge of the sea of fire. Only then did everyone see the Red Maple Base not far away.
The Red Maple Base was brightly lit at this time, but it was not that there was a fire, but that the lantern trees were fully illuminated.
The survivors in the base were in panic, but under the command of the army, they all entered the controlled mutant plants one by one, and they were able to escape in an orderly manner.
“Fortunately, it’s not too late!”
Wang Tao made the golden eagle make a long cry before landing.
Wang Tao and Han Youlin have said before that if you hear the cry of a raptor in the middle of the night, don't rush to attack, first find out whether it is a golden eagle.
It is pitch black now, and although the Golden Eagle is not afraid of being attacked by people from the Red Maple Base, it is unnecessary if it delays their evacuation.
The loud cry of the golden eagle instantly spread throughout the Red Maple Base. The ordinary survivors were a little panicked. The soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and looked for the source of the sound.
Soon, they saw a huge golden eagle falling from the sky. The soldiers were relieved and quickly put away their weapons.
A group of people quickly ran out of the city hall to greet Wang Tao.
"Mr. Wang!"
Seeing Wang Tao coming with a large group of people, Xiang Bo, the mayor of Hongfeng Base, looked very excited. Wang Tao really did not break his promise!
Wang Tao glanced around and found that except for Xiang Bo, Tu Lizhen from the Liehuo Gang and others, the military commander Han Youlin was not there.
“What’s going on?”
Wang Tao asked immediately.
"After dark today, there was another earthquake suddenly. This earthquake was bigger than ever before! Just when we thought that the entire base was going to suffer, the earthquake stopped again. But before we had time to be happy, I saw fire in the distance, the forest was on fire! There was lava flowing out from the depths of the mountain!"
"Although the lava did not flow directly in the direction of our base, it felt like it would come sooner or later! "And the forest has been ignited, and the fire will definitely spread to our base. This place is no longer suitable for survival, and we can only evacuate in advance..."
Xiang Bo quickly told Wang Tao about the situation. .
“Didn’t you see that monster?”
Wang Tao was a little strange.
"No! I haven't seen or heard the cry of any monster yet..."
Xiang Bo knew what monster Wang Tao was talking about and immediately shook his head.
"It seems that the situation is much better than I thought..."
Wang Tao just thought that the destruction-level monster had come out, but the people in Hongfeng's base were lucky. The monster didn't come over.
But now it seems that the situation may be better than he imagined - the monster is still trapped in the cave and has not come out, it just got the magma out.
Although magma is also very scary, especially in this kind of forest, it cannot be extinguished, but at least there is no need to face that terrifying destruction-level creature, which is definitely good news for Wang Tao.
Wang Tao immediately said to Xiang Bo:
"We are here to assist you in evacuating!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
Xiang Bo looked grateful road.
Although Wang Tao didn't bring many people, the auras on them were ridiculously strong! With the help of these people, their evacuation will definitely be greatly accelerated.
“By the way, where is Han Youlin?”
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
"Well, I don't know either. Commander Han said that he would personally go to the front to take command. We are not very strong and need people to guard the rear, so we didn't go with him..." Xiang Bo explained.
Wang Tao nodded and said no more. He immediately called on everyone to help the survivors of Hongfeng Base evacuate.
With the participation of Wang Tao and his party, the evacuation speed of the people in Hongfeng Base has been significantly accelerated. For example, if you encounter some buildings, rocks, etc. that are blocking the road, the Awakened One can destroy them instantly. When facing some heavy mountains and dense jungles, the awakened ones forcibly opened a way out.
Everyone at the Red Maple Base has to evacuate anyway. Whether they are inside or outside the base, they don’t care if they are destroyed.
The military and Wang Tao also cooperated very well. When the Awakeners cleared the road, some mutant plants such as leaf carts immediately appeared, loading survivors from here.
Wang Tao had been guarding against other mutant creatures, but probably because of the magma and forest fires, he did not see a single mutant creature appear. In this case, Wang Tao also participated in the evacuation operation.
But after thinking about it, Wang Tao did not go up by himself, but took out a treasure box, and then took out a crystal energy cannon from the treasure box!
Due to the existence of that destructive monster, Wang Tao did not dare to allow himself to consume too much. He had to ensure that he was always in full condition and could escape quickly if he encountered danger. Although Wang Tao was here to save people, he was not one-minded. If the seventh-level destruction-level monster really comes, he will immediately run away with everyone without saying a word, leaving the survivors of the Red Maple Base behind. After all, that monster is not something they can deal with. If they stay, they will die in vain...
But it is safe for the time being. If he does nothing and keeps watching here, he will feel a little anxious. So Wang Tao decided to find a way to help - at this time, the crystal energy cannon might come in handy.
While thinking in his mind, Wang Tao had already placed the crystal energy cannon. After confirming that there was no problem, he put the crystal core into the cannon and pressed the start button towards the forest in front.
Boom——
There was a flash of white light, and a small mushroom cloud appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the entire area seemed to have turned into daylight.
When the light gradually dissipated and the mushroom cloud gradually disappeared, everyone discovered that the dense forest in front of them, including the mountains next to them, had disappeared, leaving only the bare, charred land. "Not bad, not bad!"
Wang Tao is very satisfied with this.
The power of this crystal energy cannon is actually not as high as his damage, but the explosion range is large, comparable to his use of [Explosive Flame]. To deal with these rocks, trees, etc., the damage should not be too high, just destroy them. Therefore, in terms of clearing roadblocks, using the crystal energy cannon is more convenient than doing it himself.
It's just that the consumption of crystal energy is relatively large, but compared with these hundreds of thousands of people, this consumption is definitely worth it.
Wang Tao took out other crystal energy cannons and asked others to participate. When he came out this time, he brought all the crystal cannons in the base.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
Under the constant bombardment of the crystal energy cannon, a road was not flat but very wide. The main road appeared directly in front of everyone at Hongfeng Base.
Originally, they had to take some detours if they wanted to evacuate this forest, but now they no longer need to take a shortcut.
Watching the leaf trucks carrying the survivors quickly away from the Red Maple Base, Wang Tao and his group also had smiles on their faces.
But suddenly, the smile on Wang Tao's face suddenly disappeared and became serious.
Ding Yuqin and the others were shocked when they saw it.
“Wang Tao, is that guy here?”
I have always heard Wang Tao talk about how powerful the seventh-level destructive magma monster is. Are you going to face it directly now? ! But Wang Tao said that they had no chance of winning. They might have died without seeing the monster...
Everyone was very nervous and their palms began to sweat.
"No, don't worry! If it really comes, I will definitely take you away first."
Seeing that they all misunderstood, Wang Tao immediately shook his head, and then Explained:
"I just suddenly thought of something... I remember Han Youlin told me before that the mutant plants they control cannot leave the Red Maple Base. There will be no 'signal' if they leave the base. . But now... can't these mutant plants work normally after leaving the Red Maple Base?"
Wang Tao hadn't noticed it before, but now he suddenly discovered that mutated creatures like those leaf carts had no problem leaving the range of the Hongfeng base. Even the lantern trees were carried away together. They were all fine and there was no problem.
This is obviously different from what Han Youlin said before. But after all, some time has passed, and whatever they have researched is very reasonable.
After hearing what Wang Tao said, the others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the seventh-level destruction-level creature didn't come over. As for why these mutated creatures were able to get out of the base, that was obviously not what they were curious about right now.
Except Wang Tao and Qu Shilin.
Wang Tao was just curious, while Qu Shilin wanted to know whether the military at Hongfeng Base had developed new technologies. They hope that the institute will be willing to exchange this technology with other technologies or materials.
But now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to quickly help the survivors of the Red Maple Base to evacuate.
……
Time passed quickly, and one night passed.
The fire in the forest is still burning, getting bigger and bigger, and has almost spread to the Red Maple base. Although the magma has not flowed over yet, the high temperature in the air now makes even Wang Tao feel a little uncomfortable.
The personnel at the Red Maple Base have not yet finished evacuating. Although they are already very fast and have the help of people like Wang Tao, there are more than 800,000 people after all. It is impossible to just leave. of.
Fortunately, after a night of hard work by many awakened people, more than ten avenues leading out of the forest were opened!
At the current pace, they will all be evacuated in another hour.
Watching that the last group of survivors began to evacuate in an orderly manner under the organization of the Red Maple Base military, Wang Tao and his party finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This evacuation operation seemed to be full of crises, but it was much smoother than Wang Tao imagined. One is that the destruction-level monster never appeared. Another thing is that other mutated creatures did not appear.
Although there are no zombies in this forest, there are many mutant monsters, including sixth-order lords and disasters... If these monsters come to the Red Maple Base, they will bring problems to their evacuation operations. A big obstacle. Wang Tao has also been guarding against them, but until now, the evacuation is almost complete, and no mutant monster has appeared.
Wang Tao suddenly thought of the scene he saw deep in the cave before - when he was instantly killed by the destructive level, the other mutated monsters in the cave also died suddenly and turned into ashes!
So Wang Tao has reason to guess that the sudden eruption of magma in the cave may have killed a lot of mutant monsters. Those who were not killed also fled for their lives and had no intention of coming to the Red Maple Base.
"Destruction level... Destroy everything!"
How to defeat such a powerful monster? And after it dies, it will turn into a bigger drought... Even if you have the ability to kill it, you can't kill it casually!
Wang Tao rubbed his temples and then looked at the evacuating people again.
"This wave should all be able to evacuate... You guys stay here while I go to the cave to have a look!"
Wang Tao suddenly said to everyone.
“Huh? Isn’t that too dangerous!”
Everyone looked worried.
"It's okay, I won't get close. I just want to see if that guy has come out..."
Wang Tao is still a little uneasy. The evacuation of the Red Maple Base is not over yet, and they will have to walk a long way to the new base. If there is a seventh-level destruction-level creature chasing after you, you will definitely have to change your plan...
"Then you must be careful..."
"Yeah."
Wang Tao rode the golden eagle, bid farewell to everyone for the time being, and flew deep into the forest.
But the golden eagle flew very high. If Wang Tao hadn't been holding a telescope, he wouldn't have been able to see clearly the forest below. That monster is too strong, so be careful.
After a while, Wang Tao saw the hill where the cave was located.
At this time, except for the small mountain, the rest of this area has turned into surging magma, like purgatory, and the cave has long been invisible.
And the hill is sinking at a slow speed, and it is estimated that it will be completely melted into the magma before long.
Wang Tao let the golden eagle fly in a circle. Wang Tao did not find any "blood bars" appearing in his field of vision, nor did he feel the aura that frightened him.
“It seems like it hasn’t come out yet...but it will probably be coming soon...go back, Xiaojin.”
Wang Tao didn't dare to go deeper and quickly asked the golden eagle to go back.
Back at the Red Maple Base again, the last group of survivors had just left, and only Ding Yuqin and the others were still waiting for Wang Tao.
"You are finally back! They have all left the forest safely, but it will take at least three days to get to the new base..."
"Well, let's escort them all the way there. I just checked, the monster hasn’t come out yet, we are safe for now.”
“Okay!”
