Before the Lightning Wall.
The army of lizards covered by the white mask kept advancing.
The conspicuous heavy tank monitor lizard mixed in the lizard group continuously let out bursts of threatening roars.
eight.
This is the amount the defenders on the walls will face.
Each lizard is as tall as a six-story building, enough to be on the edge of a "monster".
Although it is much smaller than the monster in an Ultraman animation, it only feels more oppressive to humans.
After all, this is in reality.
There are no modern weapons of scale.
There is also no giant of light holding a magic rod descending from the sky to save human beings from fire and water.
Sixty city cannons are the only firepower weapons in Qinggang New City!
Once this wall is breached, everyone behind will lose their ability to resist and flee.
"How many shells do we have?"
All around were lizards babbling and roaring, but Commander Edmund surprisingly calmed down.
He keenly observed that the advancement of the mask was a bit strange, and it only expanded to ten meters in front of the lightning wall before stopping abruptly.
Scattered forward lines appeared one after another, waiting for those heavy tank lizards to come step by step from behind.
"There are .640 more!"
60 guns, 640 shells, that is ten rounds of salvo.
Edmund memorized the number, then gritted his teeth and said, "Stop attacking, wait for my order!"
"What?"
The deputy commander in charge of conveying the order was startled.
Although the shells can't penetrate the mask, doesn't stopping the attack mean giving up resistance?
Once the Heavy Tank Monitor Lizard walks in front of the city wall, even if the mask disappears, it will be difficult for the city gate to resist the attack.
And if the city gate fell, it would be meaningless to cause more damage.
Qinggang New City will once again stage the drama of predators invading, and all efforts and construction will return to zero again.
"Listen to him, stop attacking!"
Suddenly, a cold and chilling voice sounded from the communicator on Edmund's waist.
Some strange, some familiar.
"I, Hades, as the manager of Sunny Harbor, ask you to stop the attack."
Hades?
Manager woke up?
The deputy commander who was still hesitating shuddered and turned around to notify the order without any hesitation.
As for the commander, Edmund, although he didn't see the real person, there was already a strong respect on his face.
"Master Manager, I'm sorry to disturb you to sleep."
"This subordinate has no way to break the situation, please forgive my ignorance and recklessness!"
"Ah"
Dry laughter sounded from the communicator, and Edmund's goosebumps exploded.
In terms of age, Hades is already an old man who has lived for hundreds of years.
Although he was asleep most of the time, it couldn't hide that this was a monster that had crossed the era.
"Okay, compared to those old guys in the shelter, you still remember the order left by me, the manager."
"I'll ask Tang En to send you a gift later, you can find a way to get into this mask and escape."
"I can escape, what happened before, don't blame the past, maybe you can continue to be the lord of this new city!"
"You can't escape, that's your fate, you can't blame others."
"clear!"
The respectful look on Edmund's face was even stronger, and he was not at all dissatisfied with Hades' order.
In fact, this is also the reason why Hades was able to continue to rule the Sanctuary while sleeping continuously for a long time.
In addition to the means to turn the tide in this desperate situation, the means to control people are also very important.
What happened happened, and repentance and punishment cannot change the past.
Make up for the mistakes, and those who can stay are capable people.
Only these useful people can continue to lead the development of the shelter, and this is the biggest reason why the old guys in the shelter are so afraid of Hades waking up.
Useless means elimination!
"Go ahead and let my old man sleep more."
"World change?"
"Interesting. Interesting!"
On the roof of a sloping building in the northern suburbs.
The motorcycle airship landed slowly, bringing Su Mo and Liehu to stand still.
From here to the edge of the dwarf's mask force field, the straight-line distance is less than forty meters, and the whole battlefield can be clearly seen.
His eyes fell on those huge heavy tank monitor lizards, Liehu didn't speak.
But from his clenched fist and the color of his skin that started to turn dark red, Somo could know how powerful the monster's impact was on the big bald man beside him.
At the same time, he also roughly understands why the game uses Blue Star humans.
To put it simply, the Blue Star humans are equivalent to a common buffer zone.
It not only reduces the conflicts between human beings, but also reduces the disputes between alien races.
I have to say this is a smart move.
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.
Su Mo even guessed that the dwarves came to attack the Clear Harbor Sanctuary, not because the Tianyuan Territory attacked the Blackstone camp before, but they came all the way to take revenge.
Rather, it is influenced by the game, and winning this battle will definitely reward some coveted things.
It could be material, it could be technology.
It's like the last time I participated in the 100,000-level battle in Qinggang City, the game rewarded the treasure box to open things to improve the route level.
If successful, the dwarves will surely get what they want!
"If these disasters hadn't happened, would the armed forces of Flat Beach Refuge be able to cope with this scene?"
"Seriously? Are you kidding?"
"Of course I'm serious."
"no."
After Liehu finished speaking, his confused expression became more intense, and he repeated it again while whispering.
"And this is why I left the underground."
After all, the refuge is limited to the attribute of 'refuge'.
It can never be an armed bunker, or a strong military base.
Force is not the original pursuit of Sanctuary.
Avoidance is the real purpose of construction.
"I can't even imagine how we should deal with these monsters when they arrive in the western suburbs."
"Hey, don't you have a tactical nuclear bomb in your hand?"
Su Mo asked with a light smile.
Liehu froze for a moment.
"You know it's too late. There's nothing left now."
Su Mo nodded knowingly.
"Then do you think the Clear Harbor Refuge still has nuclear bombs in its hands, so that it can survive this crisis?"
The big bald head, blowing the night wind, 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 there is, there is no way to launch it."
"But if you're just talking about getting through this crisis, if they wake up Hades, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Hades?"
Hearing this name again, Su Mo couldn't help being a little curious: "He alone? With all due respect, one person on this kind of battlefield probably won't bring much change, right?"
"No, you haven't dealt with him before. You don't know Hades' character and style, and you don't even know how terrifying his methods of suppressing the bottom of the box are."
"And have you ever heard a word?"
"Some people are born for the big stage."
Speaking of Hades, Liehu, who has always been rebellious, seemed a little scared 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.
Liehu cleared his throat.
"The age when Hades was most active was probably the period when the nuclear war completely ended and the stable period began. It is about 110 years ago. It is estimated that his age should be between 130 and 150 years old. between."
"Of course, I couldn't have experienced that period, because I was born more than seventy years later. Everything I can know comes from the administrator's notes in the flat beach shelter, the records left by the previous generation of administrators A large part of it is describing the changes Hades made to this Sunny Harbor City."
"And after I was born, Hades has already entered the sleeping stage. Strictly speaking, I haven't even seen him in person." It seems strange to talk about a person who has only seen in notes and materials, Liehu shrugged shrug your shoulders.
"But that's the case, you can also feel his dominance, right? Hades hasn't managed his sanctuary at all in the past few decades, but Sunny Harbor Sanctuary is still developing steadily, compared to all of us It returned to the ground faster, and established a very large-scale industrial area."
"If it wasn't for the sudden changes in the world, and all kinds of strange things happening inexplicably, maybe by the time we find out all this, Sunny Harbor Sanctuary will already have the qualifications to become the master of this city."
Pausing for a moment, Liehu 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 of the academy, but then he didn't know what happened. He abruptly gave up his career in the academy and returned to Qinggang City Nei inherited the administration of the Vault from his father."
"The location of Qinggang City is not particularly good in Daya Bay, but it is much better than the surrounding Huomao City and Gangsangha City. In the early days of Hades' succession, the powerful forces in these two cities wanted to control their hands and feet. Stretching over, trying to occupy an enclave here, to plunder the resources of Qinggang to develop itself."
"But it only took five years and three wars, Hades cut off all the routes of the foreign invaders."
"Cut off?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, not only others can't leave, but we can't either. Qinggang City has almost become an isolated city."
"I guess some biological method was used?"
"Huh?" Liehu originally wanted to make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly, the ally next to him guessed it right away.
At this speed, he doubted that Su Mo had known Hades' information before, and he was just playing with him now.
"I haven't experienced that battle, and I haven't seen any biological attacks, but according to the preserved information, as long as they are infected by that method, the creature will not die immediately, but will be as fast as a mutant. Improve physical fitness. When physical fitness improves to a certain level, creatures will immediately lose their minds and start attacking people around them, spreading the virus, and eventually generating an exponential spread."
"What the hell?"
Why does this method sound so familiar?
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and the thing that humans used to use at sea appeared in his mind.
'Biological inhibitors'?
It 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, and the location is in a hidden laboratory under the Kaixuan Hospital.
It's just that the outbreak of this virus has not been seen in the ruins of the future, and there are not many people discussing it on the world channel now, so Su Mo has subconsciously thought that the game intervened, and it The danger level has been lowered by several levels.
Why, Hades also has biological inhibitors in his hand?
"Then how did it work out in the end, how did the virus stop spreading?"
The exponential spread has already begun, and it is impossible to stop it with conventional means.
Unless a corresponding antidote is developed, mild measures will only make the index continue to explode.
Su Mo was very curious about Hades' solution. If he had an antidote, then there would be a solution to the disaster that may come at any time!
However, what Liehu said next made him completely dismiss this idea.
"What else can I do, purify all the infected people. I remember that it was a nuclear bomb cleanup at that time. They attracted the infected people to an open area, dropped dozens of them and wiped them out.
What's interesting is that the ones who dropped the bombs were not the Clear Harbor Refuge, but the people from Port Sanha City and Fire Spear City. "
With a flat narrative tone, Su Mo's face twitched.
This solution is indeed in line with Bluestar's custom at the time, indecision and nuclear bombs.
Anyway, the construction standards for underground shelters are all formulated according to the nuclear war, and it is fine to hide inside when washing the ground.
As for the marauders and vagabonds in the city.
It is said that under the attack of the group of "lunatics", there are basically no living people in the two cities.
"I remember that this incident seemed to have alarmed the people of the academy, and sent envoys to Qinggang City. I just don't know what they talked about. Anyway, Hades hasn't revealed it publicly since it started there. We have not used this illegal biological weapon again. The Clear Harbor Shelter has also entered a stage of rapid development, and its progress has gradually surpassed all other shelters in the city."
"Wait. Why did they stop firing? Did they run out of shells, or did they give up?"
Liehu was still in the meeting, but after a moment he realized that the sound of the shell explosion had been a long time ago, he suddenly reacted.
At this time, the heavy tank monitor lizard had advanced to less than a hundred meters from the city wall.
As the main siege army, although it is difficult for even the tallest monitor lizard to reach the top of the city wall, as long as it can break through the entrance, it is enough.
The white mask flashed twice in a row, and suddenly advanced tens 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 firing brazenly fired, and sixty deflagration bombs fell straight into the lizard army.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of small masks were 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 the light mask were miserable, they were blown to pieces almost as soon as they came into contact.
"The counterattack has begun!"
Liehu clenched his fist excitedly, as if he had assumed the perspective of the commander who gave the order.
Unlike the large external reticle, the small reticle propped up by the dwarves is not durable.
By the time the city cannon fired the second round of volley, many of the masks had already dimmed to the brink of shattering.
Especially the light shield covering the heavy tank monitor lizard, even two of them were broken.
Maybe two or three more rounds will come, and the siege army that seemed aggressive just now will be broken up.
But it's a pity that the cumbersome heavy tank monitor lizard has already dragged its heavy steps to the gate under the city wall.
Raise the paw.
Swipe.
The thick wooden door was like plastic foam, and it was photographed with a huge gap.
With another wave, the gap is enlarged.
With an arch forward, the wooden door collapsed, revealing an empty door opening five meters high, through which the Qinggang New City building behind could already be seen!
Whoo!
The large mask that was still expanding was recovered in an instant, 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.
"Damn, what a pity!"
I saw several shells explode nearby, and the scattered fragments flew back into the cracked gap, causing a martyrdom explosion.
Liehu made a resentful sound, and lost all sense of substitution in an instant.
But before he continued to command and criticize from a distance, the sharp-eyed Su Mo saw that just when the mask was recovered.
It seemed that something flew down from the city wall and flew straight into the lizard formation.
No reaction was provoked, and no explosion occurred.
It looked as if a stone had been thrown by the men on the wall, without making a splash 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, the next thing is definitely going to be"
Liehu replied subconsciously.
But just after the words fell, an unimaginable change suddenly occurred in the field!
