Chapter 664 Evacuation
"Fuck! Could it be..."
Wang Tao picked up the telescope and had a bad feeling when he saw the fire in the distance.
Going further, it was the location of the Red Maple Base, but the fire was in their direction!
As soon as he saw the fire, Wang Tao thought of the destructive magma monster!
Wang Tao didn't know much about this monster except for some basic data. Although it seemed that the monster was stuck at the entrance of the cave, the cave seemed a little unusual. But with the monster's strength, it would come out sooner or later. It is also possible that the monster came out just after Wang Tao left!
"Xiao Jin, hurry up!"
Wang Tao urged.
"Chi~"
The golden eagle responded and immediately sped up.
Others also became alert and ready to fight at any time.
As the fire grew bigger and bigger, the golden eagle got closer and closer to the forest where the Red Maple Base was located.
Finally, the golden eagle stopped.
Fire, fire everywhere!
Half of the forest was burning!
Deep in the mountains, you can see magma flowing like a river!
The rolling heat waves hit everyone's face, making everyone's face look bad.
But Wang Tao was relieved.
"Although the fire in the forest is big, it has not spread to the Red Maple Base. Xiao Jin, let's go and take a look!"
Chi——
Xiao Jin endured the high temperature and turned a corner to the edge of the sea of fire. Everyone saw the Red Maple Base not far away.
The Red Maple Base was brightly lit at this time, but there was no fire, but the lantern trees were all lighting up at full capacity.
The survivors in the base were all panicked, but under the command of the army, they all entered the bodies of the controlled mutant plants one by one, and they were able to escape in an orderly manner.
"Fortunately, we are not too late!"
Wang Tao let the golden eagle make a long cry, and then landed.
Before, Wang Tao and Han Youlin said that if you hear the cry of a bird of prey in the middle of the night, don't rush to attack, first find out whether it is a golden eagle.
It was pitch black now. Although the golden eagle was not afraid of being attacked by the people from the Red Maple Base, it would be unnecessary if it delayed their evacuation.
The loud cry of the golden eagle instantly spread throughout the Red Maple Base. The ordinary survivors were a little panicked. The soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and looked for the source of the sound.
Soon, they saw a huge golden eagle falling from the sky. The soldiers were relieved and quickly put away their weapons.
A group of people ran out of the city hall to greet Wang Tao.
"Mr. Wang!"
Seeing Wang Tao coming with a large group of people, Xiang Bo, the mayor of the Red Maple Base, was very excited. Wang Tao really kept his promise!
Wang Tao glanced around and found that except for Xiang Bo, Tu Lizhen of the Fiery Gang and others, the military commander Han Youlin was not there.
"What's going on?"
Wang Tao asked immediately.
"After dark today, there was another earthquake. This earthquake was bigger than the previous ones! Just when we thought the whole base was going to be in trouble, the earthquake stopped again. But before we could be happy, we saw fire in the distance. The forest was on fire! There was magma flowing out from the depths of the mountain!"
"Although the magma did not flow directly to our base due to the terrain, it feels like it will come sooner or later! And the forest was on fire, and the fire will definitely spread to our base. It is no longer suitable for survival here. We can only evacuate in advance..."
Xiang Bo quickly told Wang Tao about the situation.
"Did you see the monster?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
"No! I haven't seen it yet, and I haven't heard any monster's cry..."
Xiang Bo knew what monster Wang Tao was talking about, and immediately shook his head.
"It seems that the situation is much better than I thought..."
Wang Tao just thought that the destructive monster had come out, but the people in Hongfeng's base were lucky, and the monster didn't come.
But now it seems that the situation may be better than he imagined - the monster is still trapped in the cave and has not come out. It just brought out the magma.
Although the magma is also terrible, especially in this kind of forest, it cannot be extinguished, but at least there is no need to face the terrifying destructive creature, which is definitely good news for Wang Tao.
Wang Tao immediately said to Xiang Bo:
"We are here to help you evacuate!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
Xiang Bo said with gratitude.
Although Wang Tao did not bring many people, their aura was ridiculously strong! With the help of these people, they will definitely speed up their evacuation.
"By the way, where is Han Youlin?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
"Well, I don't know either. Commander Han said that he would go to the front to command in person. Our strength is not good enough, and we need people to guard the rear, so we didn't go with him..." Xiang Bo explained.
Wang Tao nodded and said nothing more. He immediately called everyone to help the survivors of the Red Maple Base evacuate.
With the addition of Wang Tao and his team, the evacuation speed of the people in the Red Maple Base was significantly accelerated. For example, if they encountered some buildings or stones blocking the road, the awakened ones could destroy them instantly. When facing some heavy mountains and dense jungles, the awakened ones forcibly opened up a way out. Anyway, everyone in the Red Maple Base had to evacuate, whether inside or outside the base, and they didn't care about being destroyed.
The military also cooperated very well with Wang Tao and the others. After the Awakeners cleared the road, some mutant plants such as leaf carts immediately appeared and left here full of survivors.
Wang Tao had been guarding against other mutant creatures, but probably because of the magma and forest fires, he didn't see a single mutant creature appear. In this case, Wang Tao also participated in the evacuation operation.
But after thinking about it, Wang Tao didn't go up by himself, but took out a treasure box, and then took out a crystal energy cannon from the treasure box!
Due to the existence of that destructive monster, Wang Tao did not dare to allow himself to consume too much. He had to ensure that he was always in full condition and could escape quickly if he encountered danger. Although Wang Tao was here to save people, he was not one-minded. If the seventh-level destruction-level monster really comes, he will immediately run away with everyone without saying a word, leaving the survivors of the Red Maple Base behind. After all, that monster is not something they can deal with. If they stay, they will die in vain...
But it was safe for the time being. If he kept watching here without doing anything, he would feel a little anxious. So Wang Tao decided to find a way to help - at this time, the crystal energy cannon might come in handy.
While thinking in his mind, Wang Tao had already placed the crystal energy cannon. After making sure there was no problem, he put the crystal core into the cannon and pressed the start button towards the forest in front of him.
boom--
There was a flash of white light, and a small mushroom cloud appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the entire area seemed to have turned into daylight.
When the light gradually dissipated and the mushroom cloud gradually disappeared, everyone discovered that the dense forest in front of them, including the mountains next to them, had disappeared, leaving only the bare, charred land.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Wang Tao is very satisfied with this.
The power of this crystal energy cannon is actually not as high as his damage, but the explosion range is large, comparable to his use of [Explosive Flame]. To deal with these rocks, trees, etc., the damage should not be too high, just destroy them. Therefore, in terms of clearing roadblocks, using the crystal energy cannon is more convenient than doing it himself.
It's just that the consumption of large crystal energy is relatively large, but compared with these hundreds of thousands of people, this consumption is definitely worth it.
Wang Tao took out other crystal energy cannons and asked others to participate. When he came out this time, he brought all the crystal energy cannons in the base.
boom--
boom--
boom--
Under the constant bombardment of crystal energy cannons, a not-smooth but very wide road appeared directly in front of everyone in Hongfeng Base.
Originally, they had to take some detours if they wanted to evacuate this forest, but now they no longer need to take a shortcut.
Seeing the leaf trucks carrying the survivors quickly away from the Red Maple Base, Wang Tao and his group also had smiles on their faces.
But suddenly, the smile on Wang Tao's face suddenly disappeared and became serious.
Ding Yuqin and the others were shocked when they saw it.
"Wang Tao, is that guy here?"
I have always heard Wang Tao talk about how powerful the seventh-level destructive magma monster is. Are you going to face it directly now? ! But Wang Tao said that they had no chance of winning. He might have died before he saw the monster...
Everyone was very nervous and their palms began to sweat.
"No, don't worry! If it comes, I will definitely take you away first."
Seeing that they all misunderstood, Wang Tao immediately shook his head, and then explained:
"I just suddenly thought of something... I remember Han Youlin told me before that the mutant plants they control cannot leave the Red Maple Base, and there will be no 'signal' if they leave the base. But now... these mutant plants leave Will the Hong Maple base still work normally? Have they found a way to control it?"
Wang Tao hadn't noticed it before, but now he suddenly discovered that mutated creatures such as those leaf carts had no problem leaving the scope of the Hongfeng base. Even the lantern trees were carried away together. They were all fine and there was no problem.
This is obviously different from what Han Youlin said before. But after all, some time has passed, and whatever they have researched is very reasonable.
After the others heard Wang Tao's words, they breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the seventh-level destruction-level creature didn't come over. As for why these mutated creatures were able to get out of the base, that was obviously not what they were curious about right now.
Except Wang Tao and Qu Shilin.
Wang Tao was just curious, while Qu Shilin wanted to know whether the military at Hongfeng Base had developed a new technology. They hope that the institute will be willing to exchange this technology with other technologies or materials.
But now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to quickly help the survivors of the Red Maple Base to evacuate.
…
Time passed quickly, and the night passed.
The fire in the forest is still burning, getting bigger and bigger, and has almost spread to the Red Maple base. Although the magma has not flowed over yet, the high temperature in the air now makes even Wang Tao feel a little uncomfortable.
The personnel of the Red Maple Base have not yet finished evacuating. Although they are already very fast and have the help of people like Wang Tao, there are more than 800,000 people after all, and it is impossible for them to just leave.
Fortunately, after a night of hard work by many awakened people, more than ten avenues leading out of the forest were opened!
At the current rate, they will all be evacuated in another hour.
Watching the last group of survivors evacuate in an orderly manner under the organization of the Red Maple Base military, Wang Tao and his team finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This evacuation operation seemed to be full of crises, but it was much smoother than Wang Tao had imagined. One reason was that the destruction-level monster never appeared. Another reason was that other mutant creatures did not appear.
Although there were not many zombies in this forest, there were many mutant monsters, including sixth-level lords and disasters... If these monsters came to the Red Maple Base, it would bring great obstacles to their evacuation. Wang Tao has been guarding against them, but until now, when the evacuation was almost completed, no mutant monster appeared.
Wang Tao suddenly thought of the scene he saw in the depths of the cave before-when he was killed by the destruction-level monster, the other mutant monsters in the cave also died instantly and turned into ashes!
So Wang Tao had reason to guess that the sudden eruption of magma in the cave may have killed a lot of mutant monsters, and those who were not killed also fled for their lives and had no intention of coming to the Red Maple Base.
"Destruction level... destroy everything!"
How to fight such a strong monster? And after it dies, it will turn into a bigger drought... So even if you have the ability to kill it, it seems that you can't just kill it casually!
Wang Tao rubbed his temples, and then looked at the evacuated people again.
"This wave should be able to evacuate everyone... You stay here, I'll go to the cave to take a look!"
Wang Tao suddenly said to everyone.
"Ah? Isn't that too dangerous!"
Everyone looked worried.
"It's okay, I won't get close. I just want to see if that guy has come out..."
Wang Tao is still a little worried. The evacuation of the Red Maple Base is not over yet, and they have to walk a long way to get to the new base. If there is a seventh-level destruction creature chasing behind, then the plan must be changed...
"Then you must be careful..."
"Yeah."
Wang Tao took the golden eagle, said goodbye to everyone temporarily, and flew towards the depths of the forest.
However, the golden eagle flew very high, and if Wang Tao didn't have a telescope, he couldn't see the situation in the forest below. That monster is too strong, it's better to be careful.
A moment later, Wang Tao saw the hill where the cave was.
At this time, except for the hill, the rest of the area had turned into surging magma, like purgatory, and the cave had long been invisible.
And the hill was sinking at a slow speed, and it would probably be completely melted into the magma in a short time.
Wang Tao let the golden eagle fly a circle, and Wang Tao did not find any "blood bar" in his vision, nor did he feel the breath that frightened him.
"It seems that it has not come out yet... but it is estimated that it will soon... Go back, Xiao Jin."
Wang Tao did not dare to go deeper, and hurriedly let the golden eagle go back.
Back to the Red Maple Base again, the last group of survivors had just left, and only Ding Yuqin and a few others were still waiting for Wang Tao.
"You are finally back! They all left the forest safely, but it will take at least three days to go to the new base..."
"Well, let's escort them all the way. I just saw that the monster has not come out yet, and we are still safe for the time being."
"Okay!"
