Chapter 1080: Allies’ reaction, genetic sequence!
[Territory Announcement: Due to the sudden attack of dwarves, Qinggang City has been temporarily designated as a high-risk area. All residents are strictly prohibited from entering the city. Those who are active nearby should return to the territory as soon as possible to avoid danger! 】
The sky gradually turns white.
After Chen Shen, who was awakened by the noise outside, learned what happened that night, he immediately edited an announcement and posted it on the channel without hesitation.
Although the dwarf army failed to break through the security wall of the territory, it failed to even cause a trace of substantial damage.
But there is no doubt that the threat they pose is still deadly enough.
And this battle once again exposed the loopholes in the city's defense and the immaturity of the guards.
Obviously the total number of guards was actually more than the number of chasing dwarves, but in the early stage they couldn't even form a decent defense, and they were in chaos.
Real combat exercises must be carried out!
The possible number of casualties is certainly worrying, but the residents of the territory cannot always leave their lives to luck.
They are willing to use part of the reward as the salary of off-duty guards and Tianyuan warriors. They want to see that no enemy can easily break into the territory, instead of waiting for the lord or allies to come to the rescue every time. .
Of course, Chen Shen still didn’t know about the battle that took place in front of Qinggang Shelter.
If he saw with his own eyes the 30-meter-high heavy tank giant lizard and felt the awe that was completely beyond human power, maybe he would give up such a radical idea and instead come up with another curved development plan to save the country. .
However, Sumo finally chose to hide this matter in his heart for the time being, and made it clear to Liehu not to reveal it for the time being.
The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
If you run too fast, you may fall down; if you eat too fast, you may choke.
After the huge losses in this battle, the dwarves should not dare to make any other provocations in the near future.
Perhaps this fiasco will spur their research on force fields and speed up the iteration of old technology.
But at least the next time they come, the guards on the city wall will no longer use wooden bows and arrows to fight the enemy!
The battle in the city ended, and the siege in front of the security wall did not last long.
Buckets after buckets of hot water were enthusiastically brought up, and the dwarf in the front row was burned to the point of splitting his skin and flesh.
They worked hard to hold on until the last moment of the barrier. When they realized that the white shield was crumbling and there was still no news of the arrival of reinforcements in the distance, they decisively chose to surrender.
A total of ninety-two dwarves survived.
There is one captain and two vice-captains.
Without the help of translation from the game, the guards could not understand what these dwarfs were saying. They could only use simple gestures to express their position, and then sent them all to the dungeon of the outpost camp. .
Although it was only half-built, there was no problem in holding some dwarves who had been stripped naked.
“Hey, these dwarves are really brainless, they can hit like this with such a powerful weapon.”
“In my opinion, if they use this kind of attack method to engage in an ambush, it will be impossible to prevent them. "
"You want to talk about tunnel warfare? I think if the territory can cultivate a group of dwarf special forces, those gopher guys hiding underground will have a headache. "
"Can you subdue them? I look at these little guys and they seem quite dissatisfied."
"Why are you anxious? Just take your time. I see people on the World Channel are following the route of being a beast tamer."
"Dwarves are beasts too?"
Return with a large amount of loot. After arriving at the city wall, we drank warm corn and vegetable porridge.
The guards were all talking, discussing tonight's battle, which was not a battle, to alleviate the negative effects of the previous excessive adrenaline secretion.
Although no one was satisfied with their performance at night, they were extremely confident that they could do better in the next battle.
And the other side.
After discussing the details of the next cooperation with Yehu, and going to communicate with Aldrich and Kevin, Sumo took the airship and continued to the Pumpkin Bunker.
Now, a big trouble is solved.
What it brings is another trouble that may go to an even more extreme level.
Hunting Tiger felt helpless about this and could only sigh continuously to prove what kind of trouble the Western Suburbs Alliance would encounter next.
This is not because he regrets why he joined the alliance in the first place, but because he is extremely dissatisfied with his own strength.
There are no more guns and cannons, and no tanks or armored vehicles.
Pingtan Shelter, where only cold weapons are left, can be said to be a return to the primitive era of living with fur and drinking blood.
And what about the opponent?
Facing this unheard-of monster, they were still able to easily win without even paying any price that could be put on the table.
The gap was so obvious that even if Yehu kept comforting himself, his mood and thoughts were still revealed on his face.
As for the old guy Aldrich.
Well, this wallflower really chose to do what he is best at: pretending to be dead. Although he didn’t show any intention of immediately defecting from the alliance and joining Qinggang Sanctuary, he looked like he had nothing to lose. Even if you know, don't try to get me to do anything.
Yehu didn’t want to say more, and Sumo didn’t bother to communicate with him.
It is enough to provide the shelter with a market to absorb excess supplies. When the Western Suburbs Alliance completely establishes a foothold in the city, this old guy will naturally pay the price for his current ignorance.
Before that, there is no need to consider what help he can bring next.
It is Kevin, the manager of Horsens Shelter.
The family heir once again showed that he is not rigid in his thinking and stood firmly on the side of the alliance.
And provided a very constructive opinion.
“If Hades were to hold a meeting and force us all to join the Clear Harbor Sanctuary, or use other intimidation and inducement methods to make our residents of the Sanctuary become the lowest level of the city and live like wanderers. The same precarious life ”
"Then we will pretend to promise them first, and wait until the meeting is over to take the supplies and escape directly!"
"When will this disaster end, or when will we be able to use guns again, will we come back here?" City, return to our shelter!”
Escape?
No shame!
The shameful thing is knowing that one's own strength is not good enough, yet still fighting to the death with the opponent, which ultimately leads to the end of all those who are willing to believe in oneself.
What Qinggang Sanctuary showed tonight was not the strength that could completely overwhelm the battlefield, but rather the use of biological means that were almost opportunistic.
After hearing this suggestion, Yehu's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't even go to the pumpkin bunker.
"I'll go back and prepare first. Just go and remind them in the bunker."
"No matter what, I don't believe that people who can lock themselves in a cage will do anything in the bunker." I will be willing to take the initiative to escape before seeing a life-or-death crisis."
Okay.
That's what it sounds like. The two shelters in the city need to find a way to relocate quickly. Tianyuan territory is still quite far from the northern suburbs, so there is no need to rush to prepare before the other party takes action.
Sumo rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.
The cool morning breeze could not completely calm him down, and his mind was still occupied with the scene in front of the lightning wall.
Unfortunately, it's useless to be anxious. He really has too few cards in his hand now.
It is just a power stone bomb that is not even a semi-finished product. It will only add 10% of the bargaining chips to the negotiation table at most.
Coupled with some miscellaneous methods and two allies, the final chance of victory should be around 30%.
Of course, if the opponent chooses the battlefield in Tianyuan territory.
This chance of winning will increase to 50% with the support of the system, but there is still no possibility of easily winning.
"There is no point in being anxious. You must first understand what kind of person Hades is before you can make the next decision."
Look at the bunker that appears in your field of vision.
Sumo exhaled softly and pressed the communicator on his waist.
Underground shelter.
Katrina was woken up in her sleep by the alarm sound coming from above.
As the only notification method, this alarm that can be transmitted directly into the shelter can only be used three times.
After use, the sound waves above will only be transmitted through the only communication device. If you choose to disconnect again, all connections above and below ground will be completely lost!
"What's wrong? It's only six o'clock, is it the gopher guy from the southern suburbs calling?"
Katrina climbed to the monitor with a pale face and connected the contact , saw the guard captain Nat who was looking anxious.
But before it was Nat's turn to answer, a familiar voice came from beside him.
“It’s not them, it’s Hades who woke up from his slumber.”
"What?!"
Katrina tried her best to make herself look less panicked on the screen, but her bloodless face and trembling lips still betrayed the turmoil in her heart at this time.
Sumo walked to the communication screen and looked at it twice, then continued to ask with some surprise.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I just, probably, didn't sleep well last night."
Catalina raised her eyebrows, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
“How could Hades wake up from his slumber? I mean, every slumber has the probability of encountering risks, just like myopia surgery. Although it is already a very mature technology , but there is still a certain probability that the user will pay an unbearable price."
"If you want to see what happened, Nat, come on, hold it up and show it to her."
Sumo shrugged, thinking of Yehu's words, he was a little too lazy to continue wasting his words.
Every patrol airship from the academy has a combat recorder that can store nearly three hundred hours of video files.
After turning on the battlefield recording mode, it will actively rotate the angle to record and save more detailed videos.
When Bernie, who surrendered, was interrogated before, he had used this thing to prove his "innocence".
Sumo didn't forget to turn on the record last night, so he naturally recorded all the battles that broke out at the lightning wall.
The removed small tablet played a video. From the very beginning, the dwarf army held up the force field and attacked the city wall aggressively.
When the heavy tank Lizard breaks through the city wall in the follow-up, the victory will be won in sight.
When the scene changed, the dwarves began to fight each other, and in the end the soldiers of Qinggang won the battle without bloodshed.
My eyes were fixed on the soldier wearing chemical protective clothing who appeared on the screen at the end.
Katerina took a deep breath and waved her hands hesitantly and helplessly.
"What did you find? My great doctor in biology?"
"Doctor?" Catalina shook her head: "If I'm not mistaken, those lizards will eventually turn to each other. The reason for the massacre should be that someone helped them open the gene sequence, but because the way of opening it was too violent and there was no targeted sequence optimization, they lost their minds.”
Gene sequence?
Does Catalina really understand this?
Or is it that biological inhibitors are not an isolated case, but a technology that has been developed by the college?
Sumo's eyes lit up and he quickly continued to ask.
“Is this the academy’s technology?”
Catalina took a deep breath and nodded hesitantly.
“Yes, genetic sequencing is an independent research direction within the college. There are six top professors leading the research.”
“And Hades, his former professor, He is one of these six people.”
Katrina, who was at her lowest point, was not interested in telling a more detailed story.
She changed her voice and jumped directly to say: "What you see is one of the works that Professor Hades is studying. When Hades was dismissed from the college, the person responsible was also It is the perfection of this work.”
"It's not surprising that he was able to bring this technology out of the academy. What's surprising is that he used it in the war."
"I once heard that the academy had sent someone to warn Hades , it will never be allowed to use genetic sequencing technology to influence local wars, or to continue research privately and start human experiments. Otherwise, after the academy discovers it, it will directly launch a Trinity attack and wipe out the entire Qinggang City from the Blue Star map. . ”
“It’s different now. I don’t know where the academy is anymore.”
Sumo shook his head and said.
“If you want me to send this video to the college to report it, then I will be very happy to get rid of this very uneasy neighbor of Qinggang Shelter, and even the group of people in the city. Get rid of the annoying gophers too.”
"But what if the academy didn't come, or is the Holy City of Buckloo still on your Blue Star?"
"I don't know."
Katerina was even more hesitant, with a confused look on her face. .
“I am not a researcher of gene sequences, but I have heard that once evolution is started, it is absolutely impossible to stop halfway. If you want to stop passively, either the evolver’s potential has reached its end and there is no way forward. It will stop, or the evolvers will be unable to bear the cost and eventually self-destruct like these lizards."
"Does that mean we have to surrender?" Sumo spread his hands and coughed lightly: "Say. To be honest, we were still discussing before we came here. Since there is no way to deal with it, we might as well just run away.”
"And my refuge is outside the city, so it's easy to leave."
"Leave?" Catalina's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face suddenly glowed with a little life: "If you want If you leave, can you take me with you!"
"I will help you with the research tasks as agreed, as if I have paid you in advance to find the academy!"
