Chapter 658 The Fiery Skyline
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
Around the originally peaceful World Tree, there were flames soaring into the sky everywhere!
At this moment, the forest fire started to burn!
Due to multiple bombings, sparks flew everywhere. In just half a minute, Crystal City was surrounded by terrifying forest fires that were more than ten meters high!
This is actually part of the plan of the Explorer members.
Although they have experienced forest fires before and know how powerful forest fires are, now the forest fires cannot affect Crystal City at all.
Moreover, with the presence of the World Tree, even if the jungle is completely burned, it will only take a day or two to restore its lushness.
Moreover, Crystal City has long been besieged by mutated creatures, and now there are so many giant beasts gathered inside. There are no ordinary animals near Crystal City that can be accidentally injured by forest fires.
"So, let this forest fire burn more fiercely!"
Wang Lei stood on the console, observing the scene around him, and said with some excitement: "Made, how long have those guys outside been peeping outside? If we don't fight them, they really think we are weak persimmons!"
The surroundings of the World Tree are already flaming red, thick smoke is billowing, and the scenery is distorted by the heat. Just looking at it can make people feel irritated and hot.
"Actually, they haven't been peeping for long." Wen Guixin rubbed her eyes and said, "Actually, they only came for half a day, but we thought it was very long."
For Xu Xin and the others, two months have passed.
For the past two months, they have always known that there is someone outside, but they have not taken action. They have been holding back this energy and have long been unable to bear it anymore.
This sudden sweeping bombing of the surroundings was simply very satisfying.
"Brother Ma, let me control it for a while! It's like playing a game!" Wang Lei came to Ma Hongwei, who was controlling the weapon launch somewhat leisurely, "Aren't you tired like this? I'll share the burden for you. Bar!"
"I'm not tired, but you can try it. It's very simple." Ma Hongwei said with a smile.
It is so easy to control missiles and laser weapons to launch outwards in the World Tree.
In their eyes, everything in the outside world slows down to one percent of its original speed. In their eyes, the mutant creatures and order defenders who are running away like crazy are like slowly crawling turtles.
But the missiles they launched were fifty times the speed of sound. Even if it seemed to them that it was as slow as one percent, the missile would still hit the target at a speed of 170 meters per second.
Not to mention laser weapons. Even if the speed of light slows down to one percent, the difference is still not detectable by the human eye.
Therefore, Ma Hongwei seemed to be bombarding a bunch of snails and turtles with missiles and lasers!
Extremely simple!
Every shot is guaranteed to hit the target, and it looks simply pleasing to the eye.
"Then let me try too!" Zeng Tao also stepped forward.
"Boom boom boom boom!!"
With three people launching, the surrounding explosions became even denser.
Because outside time is a hundred times slower, the explosion fire that originally only lasted a few seconds was stretched to several minutes. In Xu Xin's view, the fire and smoke generated by the explosion had enveloped the entire nearby area.
From the outside world, in just this second, countless missiles exploded at the same time!
…
Half an hour later in the World Tree.
"What a pity." Ji Chaoyang sighed and shook his head, "Most of those who maintained order escaped."
It was impossible for them to dodge missiles with fifty times the speed of sound and a considerable explosion range.
But the armor on those order defenders is really weird.
Although the power of the explosion can directly lift the order defenders away, the armor on their bodies seems to have almost no damage.
Those guys staggered and fled into the distance one by one. They were bombarded by hypersonic missiles again and again, and then got up and fled again.
Then they collectively disappeared into the dense jungle in the distance that had not been affected by the burning, and could not be targeted by missiles.
Most of the maintainers of order fled.
"Tsk, if nuclear weapons are used, I don't believe those guys' armor can hold up." Wen Guixin tutted, indicating that she was also a little dissatisfied with the result, "The laser weapon seems to be somewhat useful for their armor. It’s a pity that it’s too short.”
As Wen Guixin said, laser weapons are actually effective on these armors, and can even directly burn parts of the armor red.
Even if the armor cannot be damaged, it will make the person inside miserable.
Unfortunately, the effective range of laser weapons is too short.
Beyond one kilometer, the laser will spread out slightly and the power of the laser weapon will be greatly reduced.
After those maintainers of order fled far away, the laser weapons were no longer able to cause considerable damage to them.
This kind of laser weapon can only be used for close-range self-defense and as an anti-missile system.
"If you place a nuclear bomb a few kilometers away from our World Tree, you are not thinking about our longevity!" Wang Lei said angrily.
"As long as the World Tree is there, it may not have an impact on us." Wen Guixin argued.
"Just asking if you still dare to go out?"
"……snort."
"To be optimistic, we still left a small number of them." Li Wenxi was quite satisfied with the result, "There were still a few who were killed."
"The escape of these order defenders may intensify the attack of alien invaders." Qin Yunlong said solemnly.
These maintainers of order themselves were sent by alien invaders to fight on the front line, but they were driven away by firepower, and some even died.
After these order defenders escape, they will definitely report to the alien invaders.
The strongest defenders of order among humans have been beaten to death and injured, so what should they do next?
I'm afraid I'll have to set off on my own.
"It doesn't matter, isn't this our purpose?" Zhao Xiaochuan's face was flushed by the scene around the World Tree displayed on the console. Coupled with his expression with a hint of excitement, he really looked like a big man. Villain arsonist.
But it is true that all of them here are arsonists.
"That's true."
"In short, we are fully prepared now and have done everything we need to do. Next, it depends on the other party's movements."
"Let's go, let's go back and rest. Even if the alien invaders are coming, they can't come so fast. Why are you so nervous? I'm going back first."
"Ma Hongwei, I leave this place to you!"
"I'll stay here too!"
"Ha, where are you running! Die!"
…
When Xu Xin and Li Wenxi returned to the villa, Xu Ying was rubbing the controller and playing games.
"Huh? Did you finish it so quickly?" Xu Ying looked at the two of them in surprise.
"No. The bombing continues outside." Li Wenxi sat next to Xu Ying and asked with concern, "How are you feeling now?"
"Oh, I told you, don't worry about me." Xu Ying fell down and leaned on Li Wenxi's shoulder, still rubbing the handle in her hand and said, "I've been fine for a long time, right Coco?"
"Hey!"
Coco was lying on her lap at this time, watching her play games. Hearing this, he immediately raised his little head and let out a cry.
Before Xu Xin and the others took action, Xu Ying went to the human base in the underground world again.
She was not in a good state after she came back, so she did not participate in the previous actions.
"...We have already started taking action."
Xu Xin sat next to her and said.
"Yeah." Xu Ying hummed in her throat and continued playing the game, "When they really arrive, we'll set off."
"It's still early, it should be at least a few months away, right?"
Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin.
Many months…
Indeed.
The all-out attack by the alien invaders should not come so quickly.
They also need to be prepared.
And there will definitely be constant testing in the beginning, and you can't just attack with the whole army at the beginning.
Therefore, no matter how fast it is, it should take at least a few days.
The time in the World Tree is much longer.
It might even be longer than a year.
Xu Ying's brows raised slightly.
When the war really starts, it basically means that she will be wiped out of the world.
If they want to deal with those alien invaders and invade their lair, the power of the weapons in their hands is far from enough.
The weapons she brought from another time and space did the job.
But if she uses those weapons, she...
"It's still a long time! That's just right. I'm going to take advantage of this time to do everything I want to do!"
…
Outside the World Tree, the bombing lasted for less than half an hour before gradually stopping.
But the forest fire did not stop and spread outward.
There is no need to worry about the forest fire spreading, because the rivers here are intertwined and surrounded by rivers. The forest fire will at most burn the entire area divided by the rivers, but the other side of the river will not be burned.
But the surroundings of the World Tree were already bare and charred.
The originally dense and green jungle had lost its vitality at this time.
Even the craters that were bombarded by artillery shells looked like a scene of the end of the world.
But in this apocalyptic scene, little bits of green gradually emerged.
On the brown and black ground, new sprouts have begun to sprout outwards.
This is the terrifying regeneration ability of plants within the influence of the World Tree.
And in this charred and barren land that is about to be regenerated, countless giant beasts are wandering around.
They are looking for possible survivors.
"found it."
On the edge of Crystal City, on the edge of the roof of a double-story crystal building, a human stone statue was sitting.
Long seal.
The words he just said were exactly what he said. At this time, his eyes were looking outside the Crystal City.
In that direction, a petrified giant beast was running towards him. Its huge body and unimaginable weight made the ground tremble slightly with every step it took.
This is a petrified giant bear, and in the paw of the giant bear is holding a person whose body is wrapped in armor.
In the bombing just now, several order defenders were blown to death in their armors.
No, they probably weren't killed by the explosion, because the armor was barely damaged. They should have been blown away by the huge waves of the explosion, hit somewhere, and suffered serious internal injuries. Then they were blown away by wave after wave of explosions until they died.
"This armor... is very strong."
Although the armor was dirty, covered in dust, and had some burn marks, it was not damaged.
Chang Yin took out a piece of cloth and wiped it on it, erasing the dirt and scorch marks. The bottom part still gave people a shiny and new feeling.
"This thing is really advanced. It won't be bad even if it is bombed by missiles with that kind of power."
Although it was a conventional missile, and the missiles launched this time were all small missiles and not Zeng Tao's special large missiles, the power of the explosion should not be underestimated.
At least Chang Yin himself would never dare to receive a shot head-on.
But this armor has been hit countless times, and it still seems to be undamaged, which is really amazing.
"The people inside are really well wrapped up."
Changyin grabbed the bottom of the armored helmet and lifted it up with a "click" sound.
"Hiss—what is this..."
Changyin was immediately frightened by the face under the helmet and almost threw the man out.
He had a withered and yellow face that seemed to have been burned. The hair on his head was extremely sparse, with only a few scattered hairs, and his face was as shriveled as a mummy with its bandages removed.
"What's going on? Being...sucked dry?"
Even as a stone man, Changyin felt uncomfortable with this man's face.
"Forget it, let's bring this thing in first."
Changyin glanced at the still fiery red skyline in the distance, turned around and walked towards the World Tree.
The fiery red sky is not the setting sun, but the bush fires that are still burning.
This fire will continue for some time.
…
"This...is this the maintainer of order?"
When the explorers saw the true face of the order maintainer under the armor, they all fell silent.
Even Xu Ying's eyes widened in surprise.
"How...how could this happen? How did he die? Could it be that the armor resisted the explosion and absorbed his energy, sucking him to death?" Xu Ying murmured and speculated, "That's not right, I don't Do you remember that the armor of the defender of order has this function? Is it a new function invented in this time and space?"
"Of course not, this is this person's original appearance."
The monster on the side spoke.
At this time, all the explorers gathered around the monster.
After this period of time, the monster has adapted and no longer feels uncomfortable in the presence of many people.
During this time, it has been gradually releasing those mutated humans, cooperating, communicating, and even getting along with the half-human, half-monster species it created on a daily basis.
These genetically modified humans themselves are people who can accept the appearance of alien invaders. After all, they regard alien invaders as gods, so they will not feel physical discomfort with the new race created by monsters.
And its new race of people will not develop aversion to humans after getting along with these genetically modified people.
These genetically modified humans are currently the most suitable to get along with its new race of people.
The monsters also adapted to human appearance during this time.
Even if members of the Explorers come together, it is happy to welcome them.
"What?" Xu Ying was surprised. "Why? He..."
"Different from our time and space, the maintainers of order in this time and space made themselves look like this in order to please the alien invaders. After all, our time and space only experienced three hundred years after the war, but it has been a thousand years here. It is said that They changed their appearance in large quantities five hundred years ago," the monster said.
"There is such a thing..." Xu Ying opened her mouth slightly.
The monster spread out its two weird arms: "In my opinion, he is indeed more pleasing to the eye than you."
"Fine……"
"Let me take a look." Qi Xuefei walked to the corpse and squatted down, reaching out and touching the man's neck, which was covered with tiny protrusions like rusty iron pieces.
Then, she said something that made everyone around her brighten up.
"He's still alive."
They actually captured a defender of order alive!
