Chapter 351 The Flame Rat
The power plant has its own guard team.
After several inexplicable burning and explosion accidents, the Red Dragon Army also dispatched special operations teams to the power plant.
This place belongs to the Beishan District in the north of the city, and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau also stationed a district-level action team here.
The three teams searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but found nothing.
Meng Chao was still restless, with a faint premonition of something ominous.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, a mysterious dense fog rippled from the void, exuding faint blue light and red light, gradually connecting with the swirl-like dark clouds hanging down in the night sky.
Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing screams, the night sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands. In the southeast, northwest, and in all directions of the city, there were huge ones, dragging their tentacles, shining like a mixture of octopus and jellyfish. The "eyeball" wobbled out of the crack.
The Sky Ripper, the vanguard of the monster invasion.
It doesn't have too much combat power, but it can release sharp mental attacks, bombing the human cerebral cortex, causing the human mind index to plummet, and being swallowed by fear and confusion.
During the last few times when the fog fell, the number of Void Eyes has increased.
There are so many that people feel that there is some kind of mysterious force behind it.
What's more, the Void Cracking Eye is evolving.
Not only has there appeared a mutant "death fisherman" whose tentacles are extremely strong, can shoot down tentacles from a height of 100 meters, and directly sweep away humans.
There are also a large number of new varieties that can interfere with human networks and cut off all information cables and wireless communications.
Monsterologists refer to this variant as the "Eye of Chaos".
It means that once they appear on the battlefield, they will implement full-band jamming and block all communications between the enemy and us.
For humans who are well-organized and good at coordinated operations, it is naturally a great trouble.
Meng Chaozhuo stood on the commanding heights of the power plant, on top of a cooling tower that sprayed water vapor like a volcanic eruption, overlooking the colorful night sky infested by the light emitted by the magic eye.
Under the nightmare-like night sky, the short-distance space portal has been opened, and monsters appear in groups in the streets and alleys of Dragon City. They were much larger and deformed than the fog that descended upon Meng Chao when he was just reborn.
Their eyes were red, their mouths were foaming, and their muscles were twisted due to excessive tension. Driven by their killing instinct, they began to attack human fortified communities and high-rise buildings.
"Da da da da!"
The anti-aircraft artillery positions all over the city began to speak, and under the guidance of tracer bullets, fire snakes soared into the sky, converging into a huge wave of destruction, and rolling towards hundreds of cracking magic eyes.
Some Ripper Demon Eyes were entangled by fire snakes, and they were riddled with holes in an instant, making a scream like a balloon bursting, waving their tentacles, and dancing frantically in the night sky-this strange picture is simply better than the mental attacks they released. , can even make human scalp numb and frightened.
There were more strange force fields around the Demon Eyes, which changed the trajectory of the bullets, making the bullets almost miss them.
Both humans and monsters are learning about war.
While humans have developed advanced battle modes against monsters such as "Extreme Flow", monsters are also evolving, and they are less and less afraid of human bullets—at least the long-distance attacks of ordinary bullets.
"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Fortunately, humans still have bazookas.
Some soldiers ambushing on high-rise buildings, carrying heat-seeking shoulder-fired rocket launchers, had already locked on their prey. When the Sky Ripper fell to a height of less than 100 meters, the soldiers calmly pulled the trigger.
In order to avoid being attacked by the spiritual attack of the Void Ripper, the soldiers closed their eyes at the moment of shooting.
However, rockets with thermal energy tracking can still find the target accurately.
This time, the interference force field didn't have much effect, and the empty magic eyes turned into gorgeous fireworks.
And under the sparkle of the fireworks, more space was torn apart, and more void magic eyes drilled out.
For a time, there were hundreds of communities and hundreds of high-rise buildings in the whole city, and they were attacked by monsters at the same time.
The barbed wire fence that was passed through the high-voltage electricity "cracked" and sparked extremely dazzling electric sparks.
The searchlights illuminated the community battlefield brightly, like daytime, making it impossible for any monster with "mimicry" and "invisibility" abilities to hide.
The electromagnetic tower even released a series of shining arcs, like an unstoppable sword, splitting and scorching the monster with its teeth and claws.
An impregnable fortress requires a lot of electricity to support it.
The five main power plants in Dragon City have all entered the state of overload operation.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the waste-to-energy plant in the north of the city still remained unchanged. Apart from the temporary paralysis of two units due to long-term overload operation, there were no obvious signs of arson or explosion.
"Could it be that the monster didn't lurk here?" Lu Siya asked Meng Chao in the communication channel.
"have no idea."
Meng Chao shook his head, still staring at the night sky without blinking, and murmured, "The Meteorological Bureau said that the fog will last for a long time, and the battle may last from midnight to dawn. If you have excellent wisdom, you will not choose to do it now.
"Wouldn't it be better to wait until dawn, when the power plant has been overloaded for a whole night, when the human spirit is the most exhausted and the defenses are most lax?"
Meng Chao sat cross-legged on the chimney, entering a state of deep meditation.
Having broken through the realm of three-star spirit gathering and awakening a large number of memory fragments from his previous life, he has been able to face the torn Dragon City with absolute calmness.
Even the ear-piercing screams from the Sky Ripper Demon Eye, and the stormy waves of spiritual attacks it released one after another, couldn't disturb him in the slightest.
He even consciously expands his life magnetic field, perceives the life magnetic field of monsters, and tries to find the secret that hundreds of monsters of different races can fight together.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
The monster's offensive has no tendency to weaken.
Even the steel group near the waste-to-energy plant is under increasing pressure.
The Red Dragon Army Special Forces stationed here and some of the factory protection teams suddenly assembled and rushed out of the garbage power plant.
"what happened?"
Meng Chao opened his eyes suddenly, and asked Lu Siya on the communication channel, "Where are they going?"
"The steel group was attacked by a large number of monsters. There seemed to be dozens of nightmare beasts and a few hell beasts mixed in. The guard team of the steel factory couldn't resist it, so they rushed to reinforce it!"
Lu Siya shouted, "I know what you're worried about, but if the steel group's defense line can't be defended and the monster breaks through here, the power plant will still be finished!"
"Where's Team Leader Ye?"
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are always more experts in the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, right?"
"It was reported half a minute ago that two power plants in the city and south of the city experienced mysterious explosions at the same time. It is suspected that there are strange beasts infested."
Lu Siya said, "Leader Ye led the nine teams to 'fight the fire'."
Meng Chao spat.
Suddenly calm down.
Nose fluttered, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you smell something, it seems to be some kind of... greasy combustible substance."
"have."
Lu Siya said, "And there are quite a few of them. They are coming up from the depths of the ground along the pipeline."
That's a mouse.
Just when part of the defense force guarding the power plant was transferred to the ambushed steel group's defense line, thousands of mice suddenly emerged from the ground of the power plant.
These mice were not like any rat monsters Meng Chao had ever seen.
They are greasy, chubby, with thin and short hands and feet, and their movements are extremely clumsy. Let alone Meng Chao, as long as they are well-trained archers of the Red Dragon Army, they can easily hit them.
But after being shot by bullets, they often don't die instantly. Instead, because the combustible substances filling their stomachs come into contact with the air, they "huh" and turn into flaming fireballs.
Stimulated by the burning flames and excruciating pain, the slow-moving mouse would increase its speed by several levels. While scurrying around, it also caused the flames to spread to the greatest extent.
For a while, accompanied by the "crackling" gunshots, hundreds of fireballs screamed and ran around in the power plant, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Fortunately, anticipating the risk of fire and explosion, the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau contacted the fire department and arranged an elite firefighting force here in advance.
Among them are several masters who are good at heat transfer.
In fact, among the engineers of the power plant, there are many extraordinary people who are good at constructing spiritual magnetic force fields, converting chemical energy into electrical energy, or converting electrical energy into thermal energy.
"puff!"
More than a dozen fire trucks lined up, spraying water jets like dragons towards the place where the flame rats were most densely populated, blasting hundreds of burning flame rats out.
The engineers of the power plant were chanting, the spirit lines spread from the center of the eyebrows to the fingertips, and the ten fingers turned into two clouds of gray mist, forming exquisite spiritual magnetic force fields, turning the water droplets blasted by the fire truck into a Crystal clear ice crystals.
The ground froze immediately, and the limbs of many flame rats were frozen on the ground. Even though their bodies were still burning crazily with grease, they couldn't take even half a step.
Gradually, the ice crystals turned into ice cones, and the ice cones condensed into ice walls, which surrounded a small ice valley, trapping most of the flame rats inside.
The Flaming Rats struggled desperately, trying to climb out of the ice valley, but even if they succeeded by chance, most of the flames around them were extinguished, and they were burned to death. How could they have the strength to continue to attack the vital points of the power plant?
Not to mention, there is also Lu Siya hovering in mid-air.
After communicating with Meng Chao for more than half a year, she has gradually transformed from an auxiliary superhuman to a combat superhuman, and she has practiced "ground stabbing" to the point of perfection.
Seeing a fish slipping through the net, he snapped his fingers lightly, and a string of tiny ground thorns came out silently, nailing the flame mouse firmly to the ground.
