Chapter 822 Divine Power Barrier, Return to the Age of Savagery!
In the evening, about six o'clock.
In the adventure restaurant located on the busiest main street in the first-level adventurer town, the entire fourth floor of the private rooms was occupied.
Soma stood by the window, looking at the bustling streets below.
With fluorescent lamps adjusting the brightness, the sky here is approaching night, leaving only the last trace of light shining on the earth.
However, there are no outsiders entering, and there are no natural disasters.
At this time, there was still an endless flow of people and cars on the street, and most people were walking slowly on both sides of the street with smiles on their faces.
It can be seen that the happiness of people living here is much higher than that of the outside world.
"The people who built this place are really geniuses. What a perfect system." Sumo sighed as he picked up the tea cup by the window and took a sip.
The biggest problem of the Adventurer Alliance is that the system is loose and the central power cannot be concentrated.
Every top adventurer will have various ties and worries that are difficult to resolve.
And it was the appearance of this town that brought hundreds of thousands or even millions of adventurers together, forming a solid group.
Adventurers who already have relatives living here need to continue completing tasks outside in order to collect enough task points to renew their contract.
Adventurers who still want to send their relatives in need to complete more tasks in order to accumulate the qualifications to enter here.
A two-pronged approach, the effect is surprisingly good.
"This kind of system can only be implemented by a loose alliance like ours, and if it weren't for the Super Terminal, it would only be a castle in the air." Su Deben came over from behind, gently picked up the teapot, and gave Sumo some tea. Full.
The tea was clear and translucent, with a few green buds that had just been picked floating up and down, exuding a faint floral fragrance.
Being able to serve such a drink full of natural flavor after a meal, looking at the entire New World, can be regarded as the highest enjoyment for mankind at present.
"That's not necessarily the case. As long as you have the ability to protect your people, you can implement this system."
Sumo smiled and sat on the chair by the window, still looking at the outside world in trance.
"The division of labor is clear. Those who have the ability to open up the outside world will go out, and those who need shelter will stay."
"How to allow everyone to find their destination in troubled times is a question that every lord should think about."
"Is it possible that you want to be a lord?" Sudeben asked softly.
He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning got to the core.
The current lord of Tianyuan Territory is still Su Chan. If he wants to replace him, he must first let her abdicate in favor of others.
But Su Chan is that sister. Unless she chooses to quit, no one would dare to say these four words in a treacherous way.
"This is not important, not to mention that my purpose is not here. Pursuing higher-level power, whether it is technology or biology itself, and completely solving the hidden dangers of constant natural disasters in the wasteland, this is my greatest pursuit," Sumo explained road.
"Oh? Does the power of the ocean you just mentioned have any drawbacks?" Su Deben asked bluntly.
"Yes." Sumo was silent for a moment: "One of the disadvantages is that the base of Poseidon cells is cancer cells. Although they are the mildest thyroid cancer cells, they will hardly cause any harm to the human body if controlled. However, there is a slight probability that they will. To spread out, you need regular physical examinations and monitoring. Secondly, the Poseidon cells you implanted are somewhat different from mine. They cannot independently release and absorb the power of the ocean, and can only solidify and enjoy the advantages brought by the genes."
"If I want to obtain the ability you showed before, what conditions are required and what price do I have to pay?" Su Deben's eyes flickered and he continued to ask.
He could come to the wasteland as the commander of hundreds of thousands of people, and he could quickly form an alliance of adventurers after leaving the Tianyuan territory that could not be solved by the three major territories.
Su Deben has a very keen sense of details, and he accurately grasped the changes in the tone of Sumo's words.
What's more, he understood from the beginning that since the other party was willing to show this ability, there was definitely a solution.
"The conditions are not important, but the cost is not completely clear to me yet."
"However, I can tell you clearly that the most difficult thing for ordinary people to accept is that life and death are completely in my hands." Seeing Su Deben's face change slightly, Su Mo laughed.
Being able to control the power of Poseidon to break out of the body is probably a hidden benefit brought by authority.
To the outside world, he would definitely not tell it so easily.
But in the ruins, there is no need to keep secrets from Sudeben.
But at this point, the further discussion about Poseidon believers is temporarily over.
Before the relationship between the two parties could be further improved, Sudeben cleverly changed the subject.
"The three major territories have completely let go of the discussion on evolvers. It seems that they will start small-scale testing in a few days and gradually turn to mass injection. The medicine in their hands was also revealed by Tianyuan Territory?"
"That's right. I don't know what the five royal families are planning now. We can only passively defend and try our best to prevent the turmoil that will happen next," Sumo replied.
The five royal families haven't really played their cards yet, and both sides are waiting for who can't help but jump out and reveal their plans first.
So instead of responding blindly when the time comes, it is better to remain silent and defensive from the beginning.
"A major chaos occurs every four years. The last time was an unprecedented super earthquake. It seems that this time is not weaker than the last time."
"According to the rhythm, the disaster has been suspended for two months, and it will continue to be suspended." Su Deben looked at the outside world calmly, and the two of them were silent at the same time.
Watching the light from the outside world disappear bit by bit, the two stopped talking about the blood plague and started discussing some interesting stories about the new world.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Su Mo got up and said goodbye, and returned to the arranged hotel to rest.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
During this period, he walked in this underground fortress every day, or stopped to watch the ecological arrangements inside, or went to the factory to teach armor manufacturing.
Occasionally, Siming and several people who had been injected with the sea god cells with recovery ability would fight with him and learn martial arts from each other.
You can't see the sun, you can't feel the natural wind, and the temperature always remains unchanged.
It is difficult for humans to perceive the speed of time passing just by the change of light.
And living in this small town where you can hardly feel the intrigue, you will not be affected by the trivial matters of the outside world.
Gradually, just when Su Mo's mentality had completely calmed down, and he even liked this kind of life a little.
Several pieces of news collected by the Adventurer Alliance from the outside world disrupted everyone's plans and preparations.
"What, Northland and Golden Eagle skipped the small-scale test and directly started large-scale injection of evolutionary drugs to fight the spread of the blood plague virus?"
"And this Divine Court, they have raised troops from the south, wanting to establish a new human society to fight against natural disasters?"
"The two sides are like water and fire, and have already had friction and collision in the Mu Ri Grand Canyon. In the end, the Divine Court won. How is this possible?"
"The five royal families, my God, they actually developed a material distortion field that restrains human weapons, which can distort the physical properties within a certain range, so that humans return to the era of cold weapon confrontation?"
Seeing this, Bao Lei couldn't help but jump up.
What does it mean to return to the era of cold weapon confrontation?
The tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, and guns that humans rely on to dominate the New World will all lose their effectiveness.
In front of powerful alien races, using only cold weapons, isn't that just giving away heads?
"This is a declaration of war, a naked declaration of war. They didn't expose it accidentally, but deliberately showed it to everyone."
"Our adventurers who are responsible for collecting information have taken a complete video of this battle with their permission. You can take a look."
In the conference room, Su Deben clicked with a heavy face, and the screen began to play the video.
Although there was some shaking, it still clearly transmitted the battle scene in the canyon back.
On one side were the soldiers of the Divine Court holding wooden sticks, wooden swords, and wooden swords. They were wearing simple armor woven from vines and lined up in a crooked formation.
On the other side were the Alliance soldiers driving tanks and holding rifles. They were wearing bulletproof armor, all with solemn faces, standing in tactical positions.
From the posture, there was no need to start this battle.
The combat power of the two sides was so different that there was no need for the Alliance soldiers to charge. Only one round of artillery fire could win.
However, as a blue sky covered the canyon, the situation changed!
The solid tank armor seemed to have turned into foam cardboard. A slight cut from a wooden sword opened a large gap.
And those fragile woods turned into tough alloys, which greatly increased their power.
For a moment, the offense and defense changed.
After losing modern weapons, the alliance soldiers collapsed in less than ten minutes.
In the end, only weapons scattered all over the ground and hundreds of thousands of alliance soldiers were left at the scene.
In the first battle of the Divine Court, only 65 people were paid to successfully defeat the maintenance team of the Dragon Flag, the Golden Eagle, and the three major territories of the Northland!
"Is this a move by the five royal families?" Tianlang on the side had a gloomy face.
Physical property conversion, this disaster once occurred in the wasteland a year ago, and it caused a lot of trouble at that time.
But no one expected that the five royal families would copy the principle of this disaster and form weapons.
Just look at the alloy turning into foam and the wood turning into alloy to find that this group of hidden aliens have long been prepared to deal with it.
"I don't know, but can we handle this?" The Jade Girl glanced at Su Wei.
The latter thought about it, and finally shook his head regretfully: "No, unless I can experience it myself, get the experimental data, or know the principle of their barrier, maybe there is a way to crack it."
"But just watching it through the video is like us encountering a disaster, we can only do nothing."
After the voice fell, there was silence in the conference room, and the breathing sound was much quieter.
Everyone knew that once the barrier weapon of the Divine Court could not be cracked, the so-called military hegemony of the three territorial alliances would be a big joke.
Once the barrier was covered, humans would return to the barbaric era and compete for victory or defeat only by individual strength.
Whoever has the bigger fist will become the new boss!
After a moment of silence, everyone could only glance at the emperor and Su Mo sitting at the top.
But unfortunately, the two looked equally solemn, their eyes were erratic, and I don't know what they were thinking about.
Three days later.
Tianyuan Territory.
In the mayor's office on the third floor of the simple and solemn municipal building.
Chen Shen was walking around anxiously, looking out the window from time to time at the ordinary people who were queuing up on the street to get the Poseidon cells.
There were quite a few people sitting in the meeting room at this time, including Chen family members who came from other cities and counties, and new managers who had been supported in the past six months.
They were equally anxious and a little angry, and several of them had aphthous sores on the corners of their mouths.
"Mayor, the latest news is here." Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly walked in at the door of the office.
"Shenting has fought consecutively and successfully won the third battle with the alliance. This time the casualty ratio is 1:56."
Jiang Xiaoyu's slightly anxious voice echoed in the office, weakened, and disappeared.
Visible to the naked eye, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and even Chen Shen felt numb.
"Is there a video of this battle?"
"Yes, they also released a video of the fight, right here." Jiang Xiaoyu handed over a USB flash drive.
Chen Shen took it and inserted it behind the projector.
The light curtain unfolded, and the brutal fighting scene was displayed in front of everyone.
After two consecutive losses, the alliance learned enough lessons and finally stopped taking positions and faced the attack head-on.
They tried to find the location of Shenting and directly launched an over-the-horizon strike.
But it is a pity that as long as the so-called artillery shells enter the range of the barrier from the air, they immediately lose their original effectiveness.
Except for injuring a few lucky people due to the high initial speed, the explosives inside did not explode at all.
On the other hand, the long-range weapon sent by Shenting was a catapult that no one had expected.
With the barrier shrouded, every boulder falling down was like a falling meteor, with terrifying power.
After several rounds of smashing and destroying the alliance's positions, Shenting soldiers swarmed in from all directions like zombies.
Even though many soldiers from the alliance took out wooden weapons, they were still no match despite their physical strength and strange abilities being crushed.
There is no doubt that this is another big defeat for the alliance, which completely tears away the "fragility" beneath the strong appearance of human beings.
Humanity has once again returned to the barbaric age of fighting with wooden sticks and cold weapons!
"This battle is probably the Alliance's last test of the Divine Court. From next time on, they will most likely send out evolvers."
"I just don't know which one is stronger, the evolvers injected with our Poseidon cells or the evolvers injected with the genes of the five royal families!"
After watching it three times, Chen Shen turned off the projection to calm people down a little.
Although he also knew that compared with these Shenting soldiers who had evolved combat capabilities, the recovery provided by the injection of Poseidon cells would be difficult to restrain them.
But the matter has come to this, and all that can be done now is to accelerate the research and development of Poseidon cells and the research on this barrier as soon as possible.
By cracking one of the two, you can successfully resolve this disaster that has plagued the entire New World.
"Is there any news from County Magistrate Susu?"
"No, County Magistrate Su only sent a message back, asking us to stand still and wait and see what happens. What Shenting has shown now is just superficial, and it's not time for us to really be anxious."
"Okay, then we'll wait."
Chen Shen nodded, waved Jiang Xiaoyu away, and asked other people in the office who were looking at each other to follow him out.
Not long after, when he was the only one left in the room, he came to the window again and looked out.
In the peaceful Hope City, no chaos can be seen at the moment.
Whether they are old people who joined a long time ago or newcomers who have recently immigrated, they are all waiting in line obediently according to the instructions, waiting for Poseidon cell injection.
"Prosperous times are rare, and the world may be in chaos again!"
"I just don't know if there will be a hero like Chang Chang who can stand up again this time."
Chen Shen let out a long sigh and calmed down a little.
No matter how difficult it is now, at least there is Su Youzong in Tianyuan territory, which is much better than before the last big earthquake.
And he has now connected with the Adventurers Alliance.
Stay strong and survive this disaster, which may be the only chance for Tianyuan Territory to overturn the three major territories and rise again!
On March 27, the ninth year of the end of the calendar, the Alliance and Shenting fought again at "Kewupo". The two sides mobilized more than 100,000 people. The frontal battlefield was like a black cloud pressing down on the environment, and there were dense crowds of people everywhere.
Shenting still followed the original tactics and dispatched tens of thousands of divine guards, all wearing rattan armor and holding wooden weapons.
On the other hand, the Alliance also began to reverse its tactics, eliminating all technological weapons, and also sent out Alliance soldiers with similar weapons and equipment.
Just like fighting in ancient times, the two parties hurriedly called for formation and then fought together.
This battle lasted for several hours.
In the end, the Alliance finally won the battle with a slight advantage, repelling the Divine Court for the first time.
As they returned with their spoils of war, they returned in high spirits.
At the same time, a terrible news finally spread quickly throughout the New World with the help of thoughtful people!
