In front of the lightning wall.
The lizard army covered with white masks keeps advancing.
The heavy tank monitor lizard, which was prominent among the lizards, kept making bursts of threatening roars.
Eight.
This is the number that the defenders on the city wall have to face.
Every lizard that is as tall as a six-story building is already on the verge of being a "monster".
Although it is still much smaller than the monsters in certain Ultraman animations, it only creates a lot more pressure on humans.
After all, this is reality.
There are no modern weapons of any size.
There is no giant of light holding a divine light rod descending from the sky to save mankind from water and fire.
Sixty city cannons are the only firepower weapon in Qinggang New City!
Once this wall is breached, everyone behind will lose the ability to resist and will be forced to flee.
“How many shells do we have left?”
The lizards were roaring all around, but Commander Edmund was surprisingly calm.
He keenly observed that the advancement of the light mask was a bit strange. It only expanded to ten meters in front of the lightning wall and then stopped abruptly.
Scattered forward lines appeared, waiting for the heavy tank lizards to come step by step from behind.
“There are .640 more!”
60 guns, 640 shells, that’s ten salvos.
Edmund wrote down this number, then gritted his teeth and said: "Stop attacking and wait for my order!"
"What?"
The deputy commander who was responsible for conveying the order was startled.
Although the cannonballs cannot penetrate the light barrier, doesn't stopping the attack mean giving up resistance?
Once the heavy tank giant lizard is allowed to walk in front of the city wall, even if the light shield disappears, it will be difficult for the city gate to withstand the attack.
And if the city gate is lost, it will be meaningless to cause more casualties.
Qinggang New City will once again stage the drama of predator invasion, and all efforts and construction will return to zero again.
"Listen to him and stop attacking!"
Suddenly, a cold and murderous voice sounded from the communicator on Edmund's waist.
Somewhat strange, yet somewhat familiar.
"I, Hades, as the manager of Clear Harbor, ask you to stop attacking."
Hades?
Is the manager awake?
The deputy commander who was still hesitating trembled, turned around without any hesitation and went to inform the order.
As the commander, Edmund had a deep respect on his face even though he had not seen him in person.
"Manager, I'm sorry to disturb you while you are sleeping."
"My subordinates have no other way to break the situation. Please forgive me for my ignorance and recklessness!"
"Ha"
Dry laughter rang out from the communicator, and Edmund's skin suddenly exploded with goosebumps.
In terms of age, Hades is an old man who has lived for hundreds of years.
Although he sleeps most of the time, it cannot be concealed that he is a monster that transcends eras.
"Okay, compared to those old guys in the shelter, you still remember the orders left by me as the manager."
"I will ask Tang En to send a gift later. You can find a way to send it into this light barrier and escape."
"You can escape. What happened before, let's forget about it. Maybe you can still Continue to be the leader of this new city!”
“You can’t escape, that’s your fate, you can’t blame others.”
Edmund’s face. The look of respect on his face became even stronger, and he was not dissatisfied with Hades' order at all.
In fact, this is also the reason why Hades can continue to sleep and rule the sanctuary for a long time.
In addition to the existence of powerful means to turn the tide in this desperate situation, the means of controlling people are also very important.
What happened happened, confession and punishment cannot change the past.
After making up for the mistakes, those who can stay are capable people.
Only these useful people can continue to develop the shelter, and this is the biggest reason why the old guys in the shelter are so afraid of Hades's awakening.
Useless means elimination!
"Go ahead and let me, an old man, sleep a little longer."
"The world changes?"
"Interesting. Interesting!"
On the rooftop of a sloping building in the northern suburbs.
The motorcycle airship landed slowly, taking Sumo and Yehu to stand still.
The straight line distance from here to the edge of the dwarf's mask force field is less than forty meters, and the entire battlefield can be clearly seen.
His eyes fell on those huge heavy tank monitor lizards, and Hunter Tiger did not speak.
But from his clenched fists and the color of his skin that began to turn deep red, Sumo could know how much impact this monster had on the bald man next to him.
At the same time, he also roughly understood why the game included Blue Star humans.
To put it simply, Blue Star humans are equivalent to a universal buffer zone.
It not only reduces the conflicts between humans, but also reduces the disputes between alien races.
I have to say this is a smart approach.
It not only ensures that the number of game players will not decrease on a large scale, but also further intensifies the complexity of the situation.
Sumo even guessed that the dwarves came to attack Qinggang Sanctuary because it was not because Tianyuan Territory had attacked the Blackstone Camp before, but that they came all the way to take revenge.
But it is influenced by the game. Winning this battle will definitely reward some coveted things.
It may be material, or it may be technology.
Just like the last time I participated in the 100,000-level battle in Qinggang City, the game reward treasure box was opened to increase the level of the route.
If successful, the dwarves will surely get what they want!
“If these disasters had not occurred, would the armed strength of Pingtan Refuge been able to cope with this scene?”
"Seriously? Or are you kidding?"
"Of course you are serious."
"No."
After Yehu finished speaking, his confused look became more intense. He whispered and repeated it again.
“And this is also the reason why I left the underground.”
After all, shelters are limited to the attribute of ‘refuge’.
It can never become an armed bunker or a powerful military base.
Force is not the original pursuit of Sanctuary.
Evasion is the real purpose of construction.
“I can’t even imagine what methods we should use to deal with these monsters when they arrive in the western suburbs.”
"Hey, don't you have a tactical nuclear bomb in your hand?"
Sumo asked with a chuckle.
The hunting tiger was stunned for a moment.
"You know, it's too late. There is nothing now."
Sumo nodded clearly. "Then do you think the Sunny Harbor Shelter still has nuclear bombs left in its hands, so that it can survive this crisis?"
The bald man who was blowing in the night breeze pondered for a while, and finally shook his head.
"I don't know, but the nuclear bomb should be out of everyone's hands for the time being, and even if it is, there is no means to launch it."
"But if you just say that we will get through this Crisis, if they wake up Hades, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“Hades?”
Hearing the name again, Sumo couldn't help but be curious: "He alone? With all due respect, I'm afraid one person can't bring much change on this kind of battlefield, right?"
"No, you didn't and He has dealt with him before, and he doesn’t know much about Hades’ personality and style, nor how terrifying his methods are.”
“And have you heard a sentence?”
"Some people are born for the big stage."
When it comes to Hades, the always unruly hunting tiger seems a little afraid and unwilling to recall the past.
However, I realized that now I am not only the manager of the shelter, but also a member of the alliance.
Hunting Tiger cleared his throat.
“The most active era of Hades was probably the period when the nuclear war ended and the stable period began. It was about 110 years ago. It is estimated that his age should be 130 years old. Between the age of one hundred and fifty."
"Of course, I couldn't have experienced that period, because everything I knew came from Pingtan after I was born more than seventy years later. A large part of the administrator's notes in the shelter and the records left by the previous administrator describe Hades' changes to this Sunny Harbor City."
"And wait until I was born. Afterwards, Hades has entered a deep sleep stage. Strictly speaking, I have never even seen him in person." It seemed a little strange to talk about a person who had only been seen in notes and information. Hunter shrugged.
"But that's the case. You can also feel his dominance, right? Hades has not managed his sanctuary at all in the past few decades, but Clear Harbor Sanctuary is still developing steadily. Compared with all of us, We returned to the ground faster and built a very large industrial area."
"If the world hadn't suddenly changed and all kinds of weird things happened inexplicably, we might have waited until we arrived. When they discovered all this, Qinggang Sanctuary already had the qualifications to become the master of this city."
After a pause, Hunter Tiger organized his words and continued.
"Hades himself has a very high intelligence and is an out-and-out genius. He used to be a researcher at the academy, but then he suddenly gave up his career in the academy without knowing what happened. He returned to Qinggang City and inherited the management rights of this shelter from his father."
"The location of Qinggang City is not particularly good in Daya Bay, but it is compared to the surrounding Fire Spear City and the surrounding area. Port Sanha City is much better. In the early days of Hades' inheritance, the powerful forces of these two cities wanted to extend their hands and feet, trying to occupy an enclave here to plunder Qinggang's resources to develop themselves. "
"But in only five years and three battles, Hades cut off all routes of foreign invaders."
"Cut off?" Sumo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, not only others can't leave, but we can't leave either. Qinggang City has almost become an isolated city."
"I guess some biological means were not used. ?”
“Huh?” Liehu originally wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly, the ally next to him guessed it right away.
At this speed, he even suspected that Sumo had known Hades' information before, and now he was teasing him.
“I have not experienced that war, nor have I seen any biological attacks, but according to the preserved information, as long as the creatures are infected by that method, the creatures will not die immediately; It will quickly improve its physical fitness like a mutant. When its physical fitness reaches a certain level, the creature will immediately lose its mind and start attacking people around it, spreading the virus, and eventually causing exponential spread.
Why does this method sound so familiar?
Sumo was stunned, and the thing that humans once used at sea came to mind.
‘Biological inhibitors’?
That seems to be the name.
In order to guard against possible large-scale disasters, the shelter is still conducting small-scale secret experiments until now, located in a hidden laboratory under the Triumph Hospital.
It’s just that we haven’t seen this kind of virus outbreak in the future ruins, and we don’t see many people discussing this thing on the world channel anymore. Sumo has subconsciously thought that it was a game attack. intervened and lowered the risk several levels.
Why, Hades also has biological inhibitors in his hands?
"Then what was the solution in the end? How did the virus stop spreading?"
It has begun to spread exponentially, and it is simply impossible to stop it using conventional means.
Unless a corresponding antidote is developed, mild methods will only cause the index to continue to explode.
Sumo is very curious about Hades's solution. If he has an antidote, then there will be a solution to the disaster that may come at any time!
However, Yehu's next words made him completely give up the idea.
"What else can we do? Purify all the infected people. I remember it was a nuclear bomb sweep. They attracted the infected people to the open area, dropped dozens of them and destroyed them.
Interesting What is surprising is that it was not the Qinggang Shelter that dropped the bomb, but the people of Hong Kong Sangha City and Fire Spear City. They were trying to steal the chicken but not lose the rice. They shot themselves in the foot. "
Sumo's face twitched as he spoke in a flat tone.
This solution is indeed in line with Blue Star's custom at the time, which was to use nuclear bombs to wipe out the situation if there was trouble.
Anyway, the construction standards of underground shelters are set in accordance with nuclear wars. Just hide in them while cleaning the floor.
As for the looters and wanderers in the city.
It is said that under the attack of the group of "madmen", there were basically no living people in the two cities.
“I remember that this incident seemed to have alarmed the people in the academy and sent envoys to Qinggang City. I just don’t know what they talked about. Anyway, since there, Hades has It has never been seen in public again, and this illegal biological weapon has never been used again. Qinggang Shelter has also entered a stage of rapid development, and its progress has gradually exceeded that of all other shelters in the city.”
"Wait. Why did they stop firing? Did they run out of shells, or did they give up?"
The hunting tiger was still continuing the meeting, but for a moment he realized that the explosion of shells had been heard for a long time, and he suddenly reacted.
At this time, the heavy tank giant lizard had advanced to less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
As the main siege force, although it is difficult for the tallest monitor lizards to reach the top of the city wall, it is enough to break through the entrance.
The white light shield flashed twice in a row, suddenly advancing dozens of meters, and the city wall that was originally separated from the outside was also accommodated!
Boom!
Seeing this opportunity, the city artillery that had ceased fire unleashed its power, and sixty explosive bombs fell straight into the lizard army.
In an instant, hundreds of small masks opened.
But all the lizards ridden by the dwarves were protected inside and did not receive the impact of the explosion.
But those lizards that were not covered by a light mask were in a miserable situation. They were blown to pieces almost at the moment of contact.
“The counterattack has begun!”
Yehu clenched his fists and waved excitedly, as if he had put himself into the perspective of the commander who issued the order.
Unlike the large external light mask, the small light mask held up by the dwarves is not durable.
By the time the city cannon fired its second salvo, many of the masks were already extremely dim and on the verge of breaking.
In particular, two of the light shields covering the heavy tank giant lizard have even been broken.
Perhaps in two or three more rounds, the siege army that seemed so menacing just now will be dispersed.
But it is a pity that the cumbersome heavy tank monitor lizard has already dragged its heavy steps to the gate under the city wall.
Lift paw.
Wave lightly.
The thick wooden door is like plastic foam, with a huge gap showing up in one shot.
With another wave, the gap enlarged.
As you arch forward, the wooden door collapses, revealing a five-meter-high empty doorway. You can already see the Qinggang New City building behind it through this!
Ho ho!
The large light mask that was still expanding was instantly recovered, blocking the city wall from the outside again.
Including the third round of shooting, before the shells could be pushed into the position, the explosion was blocked again.
“What a pity!”
I saw several shells exploding nearby, and the scattered fragments flew back into the gap, causing a fatal explosion.
Hunter Tiger made a cry, and his sense of immersion disappeared instantly.
But before he could continue to command and criticize from a distance, the sharp-eyed Sumo saw the photomask being recycled just now.
It seemed like something flew down from the city wall and flew straight into the lizard position.
No reaction was provoked, and no explosion occurred.
It looked like a stone thrown by someone on the city wall, without causing a single wave in the lake.
"Wait. Have you noticed that these lizards seem to be more violent?"
"That's not normal. They broke through the city gate, and they will definitely attack next"
Xihu subconsciously replied.
But as soon as he finished speaking, an unimaginable change suddenly occurred in the field!
