Chapter 740 "Saving the World"
Aren’t all of them considered legal life forms?
Even if the savior of the Salvation Cult has undergone the transformation of the patio and incorporated the energy of the Black Gate into his body, he is still not qualified to enter the refuge room?
Xia Fan looked at the decreasing countdown in front of him and suddenly realized that the situation was approaching a dead end.
Fifteen minutes later, the entire patio area will be reset in a physical sense - not only the partners who went to explore the bottom of the well with him, but also the hundreds of thousands of migrants in the upper levels, as well as all the Salvationists, will all be involved in this cleansing Turned into fly ash.
Even if he could use the public address system to inform everyone of the situation and ask them to evacuate immediately, how could so many people leave so easily?
What's more, the entire upper level is in chaos. Through the three-dimensional view of the escape tower in front of him, he could clearly see everything happening in the tower. A large number of yellow dots are pouring towards the upper level of the patio. The Salvation Sect's position has become obviously turbulent. The twentieth layer of defense line is in danger and it will be a matter of time before it is breached.
At the same time, on the sixty-fifth floor, a huge red dot was slowly climbing up. Judging from the system's annotation, this is an evil spirit whose strength far exceeds that of a big demon, and is almost the same as the scorching demon currently invading the core area.
"Has the escape tower been cleaned like this before?" Xia Fan couldn't help but ask.
"There are a total of twelve records. The most recent one was two hundred and fifty-one years ago. Do you need to check it?"
"No... no need." He shook his head. Now is not the time to worry about these details. He needs to find a way for everyone to escape within fifteen minutes. The most realistic countermeasure at present is to persuade the system to stop self-defense. "If I gain low-level permissions, can I make the escape tower interrupt the cleanup process?"
"It can be done." Electronic Voice said without any hesitation.
"Then what is the cost of becoming a fused life form?"
"You will be stranded here forever and will no longer be eligible to board an escape ship. At the same time, the Escape Committee will also erase your record as a legal life form, and you will be removed from the human list."
No longer able to board the escape ship?
It doesn’t seem like that’s a big price to pay.
No matter Li, Ning Wanjun or Luo Qingqing, they don't even have the right to enter the refuge room, let alone be accepted by the so-called escape committee.
Between the two comparisons, it is obviously more important to protect those close to him.
Xia Fan did not hesitate for too long before making his decision, "I am willing to become a fusion life form."
In an instant, the piercing alarm sound and the red pop-up windows that kept appearing were interrupted. A new prompt appeared in the center of his field of vision, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Xia Fan said word by word.
"...Command accepted, fusion begins."
For a moment, he seemed to feel that the intonation of the electronic synthesized voice had become lighter and no longer as monotonous as before.
The next second, Xia Fan lost weight.
He seemed to be flying, not using dragon wings or magic, but relying on his consciousness. All the warning boxes and prompt bars disappeared, and there was no longer boundless darkness around him. He could see himself flying all the way from the control room to the outside of the patio, and saw the chaotic entity spreading on the wall of the well like a pie. above, and constantly encroaching on the inner passage of the patio.
At the same time, he could also see the battle above the patio - there was an obvious problem with the command of the Salvation Church. Some of the teams were evacuating to the special train stop, but many people were still fighting on the front line. The chaotic mobilization caused the defense line to be torn apart. A huge gap opened, and several big demons had occupied the terrace on the tenth floor, devouring the defeated soldiers wantonly.
This kind of view is completely different from the monitor I paid attention to before.
As long as he has a thought, he can see everything happening in the courtyard with his own eyes.
This is... fusion?
"You have now obtained permission to the bottom of the escape tower, codenamed Omega." The electronic sound was silent for a while and then sounded again.
That’s right – countdown! Xia Fan suddenly came back to his senses, "Where is the cleanup process? How long is left?"
"The program will start in nine minutes."
Stop it. As long as he stops the operation and starts the conveyor ladder inside the patio, he can send all his companions back to the ground before the place is melted down.
"I order..." Xia Fan suddenly changed his words mid-sentence, "If we stop defending, what will happen to the escape tower in the end?"
"All systems will be completely shut down and the escape tower will cease to exist."
"Even so, will you accept the order?"
"My duty is to assist and guide the controller to use the escape tower." Electronic Sound replied calmly, "Please note that there are only seven minutes left in the countdown."
A chilling guess suddenly appeared in Xia Fan's heart.
Those evil spirits known as demons had not made any big move for more than two hundred years, but they were aroused at this moment and rushed straight to the control room. Is it because of this opportunity to terminate the cleanup process?
What he will do next is also what the enemy hopes to achieve?
Maybe... I have other ways to reverse this situation——
After all, he has now obtained the bottom level authority of the escape tower, and he has a lot more resources at his disposal!
For example, use the functions of the escape tower itself!
"First turn on the power and restore the upper lighting." Xia Fan said solemnly.
"Command accepted, lighting is restarting, 1,657 damaged nodes have been detected, and the normal operation rate is 68%."
With these words, incredible changes occurred inside the patio.
Those corners that seemed to never receive light suddenly lit up with pure white light, which extended upward at an incredible speed, as if a circle of halos were lit up in the dark world!
Each ring was a layer of the atrium.
From Xia Fan's position to the top, there were a total of 100 circles!
This is what the escape tower should have looked like - no matter how deep it went into the ground, the description of dark and lightless was not suitable for it. This is a dazzling building that reaches the sky, and it is the stepping stone for the pioneers to ascend to heaven.
And light is not just decoration.
The speed of the running spirits was instantly slowed down several times. When they were close to the upper floor, they were like being nailed to the floor and could hardly move!
"What happened?" The members of the Salvation Church who were fighting with the evil spirits could not help but stand there in a daze.
"Where does this light come from?"
"Look! The ground is lit up!" Someone with sharp eyes shouted excitedly, "This is a miracle!"
"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you!"
"It's not Buddha, it's the Pope who is protecting us!"
The teams on the upper level were full of momentum for a while, and the front line that was about to collapse stabilized again.
But this was not the most surprising thing for them.
Soon, everyone heard Xia Fan's voice, "Everyone from the Salvation Church, I need you to abandon all defensive positions and retreat into the skylight immediately!"
