Chapter 569: Fighting the Exterminator

B City, Chamber of Commerce headquarters building.

Mu You and Lin Xue Xiaoya are following Lin Hai in front of them to the basement of the building, because one of the Chamber of Commerce's 'doors' is stored here.

Just now, after a discussion between Mu You and other city lords, they all decided to go to the Star Spirit Realm to guard their respective Sky Cities.

In addition, this matter has also been urgently notified to all forces with 'doors' at home and abroad. At this moment, a large number of elite players have been mobilized and are pouring into the Star Spirit Realm through the doors to participate in the defense of the Sky Cities.

Mu You's door was just used a few days ago and cannot be opened for the time being, so he can only borrow the Chamber of Commerce's door temporarily.

This is not the first time Mu You has come to this place. As early as when version 1.0 was just updated, Mu You borrowed this door of the Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone has only two opportunities to enter other doors at no cost. From the third time on, after returning to their own door, ten years of original life will be deducted.

Mu You's two opportunities in this regard have been used up, one is the out-of-control door in the Yangtze River Basin, and the other is the door that entered the Chamber of Commerce last time in version 1.0.

Entering again this time is considered to violate the principle of "no more than three times". When his own door is opened later, his life span will be deducted once. Of course, it is only ten years, which is no big deal.

Mu You's current life span of origin is more than 150 years. Theoretically, he can enter other doors 15 times, and there are still plenty of opportunities.

What's more, after the appearance of props such as "Dash's Golden Apple", the life span of origin is no longer a scarce thing.

The Das'an Golden Apple Tree will be open for planting after Sky City LV7, and then all residents of the city can use reputation to water it.

When the fruit tree matures, all people who have watered it can invest ordinary life into the fruit tree to exchange for fruit, with a ratio of 100 to 1, that is, 100 years of ordinary life for one golden apple, and one Das'an Golden Apple can increase the life span of origin by 100 years. There is no profit or loss, but it is equivalent to a process of converting ordinary life into origin life.

Therefore, the Fool in the future will not lack the life span of origin, but it is more precious at the current stage.

As for Xiaoya and Lin Xue, it was their first time to enter another door, so there was no need to consider the side effects.

The three followed Xiao Hai and finally came to a hall in the basement.

More than 90 people had gathered in the hall at this time, all of whom were players from the Merchant Alliance who were about to enter the door, and they lined up neatly in the hall.

"It is seven o'clock in the morning now, calibrate your watches, and be sure to rush back to change shifts before seven o'clock tomorrow. If you can't come back, you have to wait for the next door to open, and you have to bear the life deducted on the way yourself." A man dressed as a steward announced the routine matters in front of the door and pushed open the door behind.

The door behind them connected to a jungle. Everyone was a permanent staff of this door, and they were no longer surprised by it, so they entered it one by one.

Mu You also walked forward with Xiaoya and Lin Xue.

"Uh, great god, your two pets..." The steward looked at the orange cat that followed Mu You's feet and the small snake that was perched on the cat's head, and looked at Mu You with some embarrassment.

The rules of the door limit that only a maximum of one hundred people can pass through at a time, and once more, it will be closed in advance. The "people" here refers not only to humans, but also to all intelligent species, such as mermaids, elves and other races.

It can be said that except for those low-intelligence creatures, all flesh and blood creatures that can speak human language are counted in the statistics of the gate.

The two pets in front of him, the steward knew at a glance that they were spiritual, otherwise they would not be brought by the ghost captain.

Mu You had only three places to pass the gate when he applied to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce also arranged them according to the number of people, and there was no difference in the 100 places. As a result, Mu You brought two extra pets now, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, these two are real creatures and will not occupy your places." Mu You said.

What he brought were naturally the bone dragon and the scorpion lion, including the lamp spirit in the oil lamp. These creatures in the real world are not restricted by the rules of the gate, because they have no concept of life span at all. Even if they pass through the gate, they will not be counted by the gate.

"Oh, that's good, then please." The steward breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door for Mu You.

"Thank you."

Mu You thanked him, and the three of them and Xiao Hai walked through the gate together, then found a place to put down the teleportation array and teleported directly to Dawn City.

Dawn City was now empty, no longer as lively as before.

Looking around, only a few players were active near the City Lord's Castle. These were all Dawn City players from various forces with gates. After hearing the news, they decisively rushed to help defend the city.

"Lord! What happened?"

Shadow Wolf jumped from a tall building somewhere, landed lightly without raising a trace of dust, and had already grasped the bow and arrow in his hand. Obviously, he had also felt the change in the atmosphere of Dawn City and was ready for battle.

"It's a long story, I'll explain it slowly later." Mu You shook his head, went to the center of the City Lord's Castle first, pointed out the City Lord's Book, and controlled Dawn City to descend.

At this time, Dawn City was still staying in the sea area east of Lan'er Empire. After landing near the sea surface, Mu You called out the Octopus King hiding in the sea and let it land in Sky City in advance. Its power would also be needed to defend those robots later.

"Boss, I'll go to Evernight City first." Xiaoya walked towards the teleportation array.

As the lord of Evernight City, she naturally had to go to Evernight City to preside over the overall situation.

"Wait, take the scorpion lion with you..." Mu You picked up the orange cat and handed it to Xiaoya: "Let's go with Xiaoxue and Xiaohai, the guards here are enough."

"But can you handle it alone? What if there are a lot of robots..." Lin Xue hesitated.

In fact, compared to others, Evernight City is the sky city that you don't need to worry about the least, because in addition to the Fools, there are many races such as goblins and blood clans living together in Evernight City. If those robots come, they will naturally help defend.

"Don't worry, I'm not alone." Mu You smiled and stretched out his hand.

The figures of the herbalist, the night watchman and Linglong appeared one after another.

This is the advantage of being a clone. It can merge or disperse with the main body at any time, so it can easily get rid of the bug of the "door".

At this moment, the three people were summoned in the Star Spirit Realm, which is equivalent to being born in the Star Spirit Realm. Even if they stay here for a long time, their lifespan will not be deducted.

And if they want to go back later, they can go back through the space crack in Fuya's hometown at any time. They don't need to go through the door to go back, so they don't need to be restricted by the door.

After watching Xiaoya and the others leave, Mu You and his clones immediately began to count the people and prepare for the battle.

Dawn City is the fastest growing city among all the cities, but because it got the bug-level city-guarding beast, the Octopus King, at the beginning, Mu You's construction ideas have always been focused on development and ignored defense. Therefore, the defensive buildings in Dawn City are the least among all the sky cities.

Without defensive buildings as a foundation, it is natural to spend more time on defense.

"All players with healing magic, come to me to report..."

"Players with halo props, please pay attention. Later, we will meet the enemy under the city wall on the east side of Sky City. The defense line is divided into fifteen areas. Everyone pay attention to the position and try to let the halo cover more players..."

"Remember, these robots are not afraid of magic, so it is best to attack them with physical means, and don't waste magic on them. Of course, auxiliary and defensive magic used on your own side can be used normally..."

Mu You and his three clones patrolled near the battle line and publicized precautions to the players. The originally chaotic crowd gradually became orderly under their arrangement, all staying in their respective defense zones, ready for battle.

It is impossible to defend the entire Sky City, which is so large. The defense line can only be concentrated on a small section, and then the direction of the Sky City can be adjusted to keep the defense line facing the main attack position of the robots.

If the robots dare to split up and try to break through from different directions, it will be in line with Mu You's wishes, because players can instantly transfer anytime and anywhere within the Sky City, and the mobility is better than the robots. If the robots split up, they will be more easily defeated one by one. With the rationality of these robots, they will definitely not choose this.

Unknowingly, an hour passed.

At a certain moment, Mu You, who had been pacing near the city wall, suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction in the distance.

At this moment, some inconspicuous black spots can be faintly seen in the distant sky, which are gradually enlarging.

A few seconds later, the shadow wolf who was resting on the side suddenly jumped up, came to the city wall, and pulled the bowstring with a serious look, aiming at the outside of the city.

After a while, the black spots finally approached the Sky City, and only then could everyone see the true appearance of these things.

They were indeed robots! There were at least one or two thousand of them, all flying towards the Sky City.

Mu You didn't have time to count the specific number, but judging from the scale, it was about the same as the number of players in the Sky City now.

This made Mu You more convinced of a speculation: it is very likely that every Exterminator corresponds to a Fool!

This should be where the excess vaccines go.

Of course, there are billions of Fools on Earth, and there can't be so many vaccines, at most tens of millions.

Mu You estimated that Ava should have her own set of evaluation criteria for Fools, and only when they reach a certain level of danger will she create Exterminators to target them.

This group of Exterminators will kill the high-end combat power of the Fools, one carrot for one pit, which is in line with the logic of the machine.

After the strongest 10 million human elites were eliminated, the remaining ordinary people on Earth were no longer able to make a difference and could be easily flattened by the robot army...

Back to the point, in the blink of an eye, these robots had approached the defense line of the crowd, and the front row of robots raised the cannons on their arms and fired first.

Dense artillery fire bombarded, and circles of defensive barriers immediately appeared on the walls of the defense line, blocking the artillery fire one by one. This is one of the functions of this defensive wall. Of course, because the building level is still low, only very limited defense can be carried out, and it mainly depends on the players to defend.

At this time, the players behind the wall also opened the magic shield, and the dark blue shield was connected into one piece, blocking the first wave of bombing.

After the robots flew closer to a distance, some players with long-range attack methods could not wait to take action.

Although Mu You had emphasized that these robots were not afraid of magic, some people still fired magic bullets in disbelief.

As expected, all magic attacks automatically fell silent when they were about to touch the surface of the robot, just like a dud bomb that could not explode.

Now the players completely believed Mu You's words and hurriedly began to prepare for physical attacks.

After the first wave of firefights, the robots had completely rushed to the top of the Sky City, and the two sides officially started fighting hand-to-hand.

For a while, all kinds of flames, arrows, and explosions exploded on the defense line. The most eye-catching one was the Octopus King.

The huge body of the Octopus King blocked the robots' way to the inside of the Sky City like a mountain. The eight claws waved together, and each time they could easily pull several robots away.

On the other side, the bone dragon that had returned to its original form was also flying on the edge of the city. All the robots who dared to rush into the city would be knocked away by it without any hesitation.

And all the players also guarded their own defense lines and tried their best to pour firepower on the robots.

At this time, Mu You seemed to be doing nothing, leisurely wandering behind the defense line, not in a hurry to take action.

In fact, he was observing the situation, and at the same time, he was using the privileges of the city lord to monitor the situation of the entire Sky City in real time. If there were robots sneaking in from other directions, he needed to teleport over to stop them as soon as possible.

"Take it easy, don't work too hard, just delay. They will revive after being killed anyway, so it's better to save energy..." The voice of the night watchman came out from the crowd.

He was telling the truth. These robots would revive no matter how hard they were killed, so it was useless for them to attack. It was better to guard them halfway, as long as the defense line was not breached.

As for what to do with these robots dragged in the end...

When the few people just arrived at Liming City, Mu You immediately gave the city an order to "fly to Baifeng City" at full speed. At this moment, they were actually on their way to Baifeng City.

Of course, they didn't need to really rush to Baifeng City. Their goal was to enter the area covered by the mirage. Since these robots were afraid of the mirage, it meant that their abilities were likely to have problems in the mirage, and then it would be their time to fight back.

After nearly two days of diffusion, the area covered by the mirage was now quite large. After Liming City flew at full speed for about five hours, it saw a rising white mist in front of it.

"We are about to enter the mirage area, pay attention."

Mu You reminded, and then drove Dawn City into the mirage range without hesitation.

And these robots who were in the exchange of fire had no time to stop, and were dragged into the mirage by them.

"Detected the mirage environment, immediately open the magic air shield!"

Accompanied by the broadcast of one of the robots, all the robots in the air suddenly gushed out magic power, and the abundant energy condensed into a circle of blue air shield on their bodies, isolating the mirage outside.

"These robots actually have this means to resist the mirage!" The night watchman was surprised.

"But this shows that these robots are afraid of contact with the mirage!" Mu You's eyes lit up, and he immediately summoned the God Skin, stretched out one hand quickly, accurately grabbed the nearest mecha that was about to escape, and pulled it in front of him.

At the same time, an exaggerated crab claw appeared in his right hand, and he used the blade of the crab claw to cut the robot.

The crab claws easily broke through the outer gas shield and slashed the robot's body, leaving an exaggerated wound.

Although the wound recovered in the blink of an eye, the gas shield was broken by this blow, and the mirage from the outside world was immediately infused into it.

In the blink of an eye, some green spots began to appear on the robot.

These spots, which looked like green algae, expanded rapidly and spread to the robot's entire body in just a few seconds.

The robot covered with green algae seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, and every move became extremely difficult. After struggling in place for a few seconds, it completely turned into a green stone sculpture, fell to the ground with a bang, and could no longer move.

"It really works!" Mu You looked at this scene and felt relieved.

At the same time, everyone heard the robot's broadcast: "Received an order, the mission to capture Dawn City is temporarily suspended, and all personnel will retreat immediately!"

For a time, all the robots stopped firing and flew high, about to escape from the mirage area.

"Brothers, it's time to fight back! Keep them, don't let them escape!" The night watchman's shouts resounded across the battle line.
