Chapter 1080 Allies' Response, 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 turned white.
Chen Shen, who was awakened by the noise outside, immediately edited an announcement and posted it on the channel without hesitation after learning what happened that night.
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.
Moreover, 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 had seen with his own eyes the 30-meter-high heavy tank giant lizard and felt the awe that was completely beyond human power, perhaps he would have given up on 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 Yehu 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 won't use wooden bows and arrows to fight the enemy!
The battle in the city was over, 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 in 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, it was not a problem to hold some dwarves who had been stripped naked.
"Hey, these dwarves are so brainless, they can fight like this with such a powerful weapon."
"In my opinion, if they use this kind of attack method to conduct 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 in a hurry? Just take your time. I see that there are people on the World Channel following the route of being an animal tamer."
"Dwarves are beasts too?"
After returning to the city wall with a large amount of loot, we drank warm corn and vegetable porridge.
The guards were chattering away, 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 on the night, they were extremely confident that they could do better next time.
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 problem is solved.
But what it brings is another trouble that may go to an even more extreme level.
The Hunting Tiger felt helpless 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 guns, cannons, or tanks or armored vehicles.
With only cold weapons left in Pingtan Shelter, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has returned to the primitive era of living rough and drinking blood.
As for the opponent.
Facing this unheard-of monster, they could still 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 what he was best at and just pretended to be dead. Although he didn't show any intention of immediately defecting from the alliance and joining the Qinggang Sanctuary, looking at his complete expression that he didn't know anything, he didn't want to think about it. What am I doing?
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 was Kevin, the manager of Horsens Shelter.
This family heir once again showed that he was not rigid in his thinking and stood firmly on the side of the alliance.
And provided a very constructive suggestion.
"If Hades wants to hold a meeting and force us all to join the Sunny Harbor Shelter, or use other coercion and inducement to make our shelter residents become the lowest class in the city and live a precarious life like wanderers."
"Then we will pretend to agree to them first, and then take the supplies and escape directly after the meeting!"
"When this disaster is over, or when we can use guns again, we will return to this city and our shelter!"
Escape?
Not shameful!
What is shameful is that you know that your strength is not good, but you still have to fight to the end with the opponent, and finally lead those who are willing to believe in you to the end.
Tonight, the Sunny Harbor Shelter did not show enough strength to completely overwhelm the battlefield, but adopted biological means that were almost opportunistic.
After hearing this suggestion, Liehu's eyes lit up immediately. I don't know what he thought of, and he didn't even go to the Pumpkin Bunker.
"I'll go back and prepare first. You can go to the bunker to remind them."
"Anyway, I don't believe that someone who can lock himself in a cage will be willing to escape before seeing a life-threatening crisis."
Okay.
It sounds like that.
The two shelters in the city need to find a way to move quickly. Tianyuan Territory is still a long way from the northern suburbs, so there is no need to prepare hastily before the other party makes a move.
Su Mo rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.
The cool morning breeze could not calm him down completely, and his mind was still full of the scene in front of the lightning wall.
It's a pity that there is no use in being anxious. Now he has too few cards in his hand.
The energy stone bomb, which is not even a semi-finished product, will only add 10% of the bargaining chips to the negotiation table at most.
Add some miscellaneous means, cooperate with two allies, and the final chance of winning should be around 30%.
Of course, if the other party chooses to fight in Tianyuan Territory.
This chance of winning will rise to 50% with the support of the system, but there is still no possibility of winning easily.
"There is no point in being anxious. We must first understand what kind of person Hades is before we can make the next decision."
Looking at the bunker that appeared in the field of vision.
Su Mo exhaled lightly and pressed the communicator on his waist.
Underground shelter.
Katarina was awakened by the alarm from above in her sleep.
As the only means of notification, this alarm that can be directly transmitted into the shelter can only be used three times.
After use, the sound waves above can only be transmitted through the only communication device. If you choose to disconnect it again, the ground and underground will completely lose all contact!
"What's wrong? It's only six o'clock. Is it the mole man in the southern suburbs calling?"
Katarina climbed to the monitor with a pale face, connected the contact, and saw the anxious guard captain Nat.
But before Nat's turn to answer, a familiar voice came from the side.
"It's not them, it's Hades who has woken up from his slumber."
"What?!"
Katerina tried her best to make herself look less panicked on the screen, but her pale face and trembling lips still betrayed the turmoil in her heart at this moment.
Su Mo walked to the communication screen and took a look, and continued to ask with some surprise.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, I just, maybe, I didn't sleep well last night."
Katerina raised her eyebrows, and the little sleepiness she still had 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 a very mature technology, 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 for her to see."
Su Mo shrugged, thinking of what the tiger hunter said, and was a little too lazy to waste words.
Every patrol airship from the academy has a combat recorder that can store nearly 300 hours of video files.
After turning on the battlefield recording mode, it will automatically rotate the angle to record more detailed videos for preservation.
When interrogating Bernie who surrendered before, he used this thing to prove his "innocence".
Last night, Su Mo did not forget to turn on the recording, and naturally recorded all the battles that broke out in the lightning wall.
The dismantled small tablet played the video, from the beginning when the dwarf army supported the force field and attacked the city wall aggressively.
Then the heavy tank giant lizard broke through the city wall and was about to win.
Then the scene changed, the dwarf team began to kill each other, and finally the soldiers of Qinggang won the battle without bloodshed.
His eyes were fixed on the soldier in chemical protective clothing who appeared on the screen at the end.
Katarina took a deep breath and waved her hand hesitantly and helplessly.
"What did you find? My great biology doctor?"
"Doctor?" Catalina shook her head: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why those lizards killed each other in the end should be that someone helped them activate the gene sequence, but because the activation method was too violent and there was no targeted sequence optimization, it caused them to lose their minds."
Gene sequence?
Catalina really understands this?
Or is it that biological inhibitors are not an isolated case, but a technology that the academy has already developed?
Su Mo's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.
"Is this the academy's technology?"
Catalina took a deep breath, hesitated and nodded.
"Yes, gene sequencing is an independent research direction in the academy, and there are six top professors leading people in research."
"And Hades, his former professor, is one of these six people."
Catalina, who was in a very bad mood at the moment, was not interested in telling a more detailed story.
She changed her tone and said directly: "What you see is one of the works that Professor Hades is researching. When Hades was dismissed from the academy, he was responsible for the improvement of this work."
"It's not surprising that he can bring this technology out of the academy. What's surprising is that he used it in the war."
"I once heard that the academy has sent people to warn Hades that he is never allowed to use gene sequencing technology to influence local wars, or continue research privately to start human experiments. Otherwise, the academy will directly launch a trinity attack after discovering it, and wipe out the entire Qinggang City from the Blue Star map."
"It's different now. I don't know where the academy has gone."
Su Mo shook his head and said.
"If you want me to report this video to the academy, I'd be happy to do it. I can get rid of the restless neighbor of Sunny Harbor Shelter, and even get rid of the annoying moles in the city."
"But what if the academy didn't come, or if the Holy City of Bokelozhi is still in your Blue Star?"
"I don't know."
Katerina was even more hesitant, her face confused.
"I'm not studying gene sequences, but I've heard that once evolution starts, it's impossible to stop halfway. If you want to stop passively, either the potential of the evolver has reached its limit and it will stop when there is no more progress, or the evolver can't bear the cost and will eventually self-destruct like these lizards."
"Does that mean we have to surrender?" Su Mo spread his hands and coughed lightly: "To be honest, we were discussing before we came here. Since there is no way to deal with it, it's better to just run away."
"And my shelter is outside the city, so it's easy to walk."
"Go?" Catalina's eyes suddenly lit up, and her dead face suddenly glowed with a little vitality: "If you want to leave, can you take me with you!"
"I will help you with the research tasks as agreed, just as an advance payment for finding the academy!"
