Starting From Zero

Chapter 25 Senior Spy

"Where are the people?" I turned around and shouted anxiously.

Rose looked around in panic. "have no idea!"

I quickly took out the leaves of the city tree. "City Tree."

"exist."

"Immediately close all the city's main thoroughfares, activate roadside monitors, and find me where Vina is."

"The closure will be completed in fifteen seconds. The surveillance system in the city has an unexplained failure and cannot be started."

"Damn it!" I said bitterly: "Mobilize the internal security forces immediately and find him for me."

"yes."

I never imagined that something like this would happen. The four guys standing in the tent behind the Statue of Liberty are working together to support a sealing formation, and the woman in the formation who is tied very tightly but is still struggling is none other than our goddess Vina. But the problem is that she has come back, and after talking to us for a few words, I went to give instructions, but she disappeared without a trace. This situation means that there are two Vina now, but we know that there is only one Vina, so one of them must be fake.

There is no reason for the Statue of Liberty to have a fake Vina tied up in her camp, so it goes without saying that the one who was tied must be real, and the one in our city is fake. They spent so much effort to capture Vina, and then sent a fake Vina into our city. Of course, it is impossible for them to come for sightseeing. We must find this fake Vina now before she does something terrible, otherwise we will be in big trouble.

I was anxiously preparing to run out when the sound of the city tree suddenly rang. "The guards in the central passage reported that Vina had just passed them on her way to the power zone."

"Power zone?" I was startled. "Rose, you are responsible for taking command, and I will catch the spy."

"I'll go with you." Ziyue also caught up.

As soon as I ran out of the room, I felt a sudden shaking on the ground, followed by a strange roar. I turned around and saw that the lightning entwined on the huge crystals suspended at the four corners of the city wall had disappeared. Each piece of black crystal weighing two hundred tons crashed to the ground with huge kinetic energy, and the debris on the city wall was flying everywhere. . Many people suffered. These crystals were pointed at both ends like olives. After hitting the city wall, they still could not stand firm. They immediately fell crookedly to the side and rolled directly into the city. As a result, another house was knocked down.

In addition to the falling defense crystals, there are a lot of problems elsewhere. The giant cannon on the top of the city wall had just completed a shot, and the rotating bomb bay suddenly stopped after turning only half a square, causing the players next to it to freeze there.

The energy weapon is in the firing position. Some players were operating the magic crystal cannon to fire, but the cannon that had been charged to a high-brightness state and was on the verge of firing suddenly became darker and darker, and finally stopped completely, no matter how those players operated it. Just not moving an inch.

At several gates that I asked to be closed, the half-lowered gates actually stopped in place. The guard next to them thought the thing was stuck, so they walked up and knocked a few times, but there was no response.

I quickly picked up the leaves of the city tree. "What's going on?...City tree?...City tree? Answer!...Hello?...Quickly..." I was about to continue shouting. Suddenly I found that the leaves in my hand quickly withered and turned yellow. This phenomenon only represents one situation - the city tree is dead.

I threw away the yellow leaves angrily, and then took out a black leaf. "The tree of shadows."

"exist."

"I now officially authorize you to fully take over the control system of City Tree."

"Yes. Starting to contact the root system...the winding is completed...the vitality is restored...the city system starts self-checking."

"faster."

"The completion rate is 18%...%...38%...72%...97%...100%. The takeover is completed, the city system integrity is 79.3%, and some systems have been damaged. Entering standby state."

"Restore the power of defensive weapons first."

"Power is normal, start transmission."

There was a clicking sound from the giant cannon on the city wall. The bomb bay that had rotated halfway resumed its rotation, and the new ammunition was immediately in place. The magic crystal cannon lit up again, and the players quickly operated their weapons and began to fight back.

I said to the Shadow Tree: "Immediately seal all passages in all important areas and check the surveillance system. If there is physical damage, repair it as soon as possible."

"The transmission channel of the surveillance system has been artificially damaged and is being reconnected...has been completed."

"Find me the location of the goddess Vina immediately."

"At the 33'9 channel in the eighth area, moving towards the power core."

"Stop her. That's a spy. The real Vina was caught outside the city. Tell the guards to be careful."

"clear."

In the underground energy channel——

The red crystal behind a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly lit up. A leader of the guards immediately walked over and darkened the crystal. "Power core guard room, please speak."

"This is the central control system, and I am the Shadow Tree. The City Tree has died and is now managed by me. A spy disguised as the goddess Vina is moving towards you. Intercept and capture him."

"Yes." The divine guard as the commander immediately let go of the red crystal. "A spy has sneaked in pretending to be a goddess and is coming towards us. We must not let her touch the power core and block her. It is best to capture her alive."

"Yes." The guards on both sides immediately picked up their weapons.

Behind the soldiers, two levels of gates, one horizontal and one vertical, were suddenly closed, and dozens of safety locks inside the power core were all locked. All access to the interior is sealed. The commander walked to the side and opened a door on the side wall. Then he took a photo of the red crystal at the door. A pair of red eyes suddenly lit up in the dark room behind the door, and then only the sound of neat footsteps was heard. Hundreds of fully armed steel golems came out with rumbling footsteps, lined up in five neat rows, and then turned around at the same time, facing the only entrance. The power core is the core area of ​​the guild city. Without this thing, many things in the city will be paralyzed. The result may be more fatal than the death of the city tree, so the defense here is also strict and scary.

A girl who looked exactly like Vina quickly passed through the passage and entered the room. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled and said to the soldiers inside: "There is a war outside. There must be nothing wrong with the power core at this time. I will go in and check." , open the door."

The steel golem didn't make any answer, but just raised the sword neatly. The fake goddess immediately realized that her identity had been exposed. But she took out her staff without caring and pointed forward. "Flowing Flame Explosion." A flame immediately jumped over the guard's head and sprayed towards the newly closed gate on the opposite side of the passage. The flames were blocked by an invisible force field before they reached the gate. The fake goddess pouted. "The seal is quite tight!"

"Attack." The commander commanding the golem shouted.

All the demon dolls moved at the same time, and the one in the middle rushed forward first. With a giant sword sweep, the fake goddess jumped up and tried to jump over. But as soon as she flew up, she found that another demon behind the demon had jumped up and blocked her route. He had no choice but to throw a magic spell in the air and use the rebound force to fall back. The demon in the air dispersed the magic missile with a sword, then stepped on the demon below and flew over with a sword. The forced fake goddess had to retreat again.

The fake goddess kept blocking left and right, but she could only be forced to retreat continuously. The fighting power of the fourth generation golem was too strong. Moreover, they have learned to cooperate in fighting, and the effect of a joint attack by multiple demon dolls is very exaggerated, and the fake goddess is forced to retreat. Just as she was being 'forced' out of the passage, I happened to arrive from behind with Ziyue. She looked back at me and then yelled. "Ziri. I don't know what's wrong with these puppets. They actually attacked me. Come and help."

I immediately took out eternity and pretended to be anxious. "I got it. I'm here to help you." As I said that, I rushed forward with my sword raised.

The fake goddess suddenly noticed the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the wind from the side, and quickly retreated, only to be left with a wound. She took one look at me and knew immediately that I knew she was fake. Without hesitation, she immediately dodged to the side and then tried to run.

Ziyue moved a step toward the center of the passage at the door, blocking the entire door behind her. "If you want to run away, you have to get past me first."

"Get out of here." The fake goddess suddenly used her staff as a hammer and swept it across.

Ziyue raised her sword to block the attack. Just listen to a clang. Ziyue took seven or eight steps back before falling down, but the fake goddess took the opportunity to kick off the side wall and jump over. But just as she flew over, she suddenly found that her feet were entangled with something. When she lowered her head, she found that it was a mechanical hand, and there was a long chain connected to the back of this hand, and the other end was connected to the arm of a puppet. superior. She quickly turned around and used the blade-like part at the end of the staff to cut the chain off, and then continued running.

"Ah!" The fake goddess who hadn't taken two steps suddenly felt a pain in her waist, and a golden arrow was nailed to her waist. I was standing in the passage with my hands raised towards her.

The fake goddess was so cruel that she gritted her teeth and slapped the arrow's tail. He just shot the arrow through his body. However, the arrow exploded as soon as it left the body. If she hadn't been decisive enough, there would have been a big hole in her stomach. But even so, she was still thrown back by the shock wave. He rolled a few somersaults on the ground and rolled in front of us.

Ziyue's sword stabbed her without hesitation, but the fake goddess actually twisted her waist and bounced up from the ground, and Ziyue's sword was inserted into the ground.

"Thunder Snake Dances!" The voice of gold coins suddenly appeared at the other end of the passage, and white lightning flew over in a meandering way. The fake goddess who had just dodged the attack was hit by the lightning, and she jumped up on the spot.

Ziyue simply gave up on inserting the sword into the ground and rushed forward with bare hands, first with a collision, and then with a fierce uppercut. "God." Then he jumped up and punched. "Ground." After landing, he turned around and performed a roundhouse kick. "'Luan' dance." The fake goddess was kicked out directly.

"The mighty Tianlong Fist - Thunder." Zhen Hong suddenly appeared above the fake goddess and punched her into the ground while she was still flying in mid-air. With a loud bang, the ground failed to withstand the heavy blow of the King of Destruction, and the two of them fell into the space on the next floor together.

I turned around and stopped the golem and guards who wanted to follow. "Your mission is to guard this place, don't chase me."

The guard captain nodded and immediately went back with the demon to continue guarding the passage. I jumped into the pit with Ziyue and the gold coins. Zhenhong was already fighting with the fake goddess down there. This guy's defense is really not very high. She was still able to hit a punch from Zhenhong at close range, but we could all clearly see that her movements were not as flexible as before, and obviously the punch was not useless.

As soon as the gold coins came out, a series of spells were cast in succession, most of which hit, causing the fake goddess to stagger around. I walked around behind her, waved my hand, and the whip transformed from eternity flew out quickly and wrapped around her. I jerked backwards and pulled her down to the ground. Zhenhong saw the opportunity and jumped up and rode on her. He raised his fists together and punched her dozens of times in the chest, slamming her into the ground before stopping.

"Okay, really red, stop fighting, she's already unconscious." I reminded her.

Zhenhong paused for a moment, and saw that the fake goddess under her had completely stopped moving, and her appearance had also changed, probably because the illusion could no longer take effect after being comatose. But compared to her face. Her chest was even more deformed. The ground on Zhenhong's arm is a thousand-pound fist, and with various attribute bonuses, one punch can exert dozens of tons of power. The fact that she was not beaten into a ball of flesh already shows that this fake goddess is defensive. The power is amazing. But now she looks like she has lost most of her life. It is estimated that if she does not receive treatment, she may be really dead.

"It looks like she's really in trouble." Zhenhong said after trying her breathing.

I went up and pulled her out of the big hole in the ground. Then he hugged her sideways. "Go to the dangerous biological laboratory, use the confinement equipment there to seal her up, and then treat her. We also need to know the information she knows."

"Yes. Weina must be rescued." Ziyue said.

We quickly arrived at the laboratory, which used to be used for alchemy experiments. Now the personnel and equipment have been moved to the floating islands in the New World. Only the sealing chamber has not been dismantled, and it is now used as an interrogation room. We treated the fake goddess after her power was sealed. Those few blows to Zhenhong just now were really serious. Almost all her internal organs were shocked, and almost none of her sternum was intact, and the entire chest collapsed. If she hadn't been a god herself, she would probably have died.

It took a lot of effort to cure her, and then used electric shock stimulation to wake her up. She was very alert and wanted to jump up as soon as she woke up, but ended up lying back in pain due to the wound. But even if she wasn't injured, she couldn't run away. She was just an ordinary person here, not to mention the chains around her wrists and waist. She looked around nervously and soon found us standing beside the bed. He looked at the chain on his hand. Finally determined his own situation. She lay down helplessly.

"Aren't you struggling?"

She looked at me and then said calmly: "Is struggling useful?"

"Very good. Now that you understand the current situation, I think you also know what I am going to do. Can you answer me whether you plan to cooperate with me or not?"

"If you have anything to ask, just ask! I know I can't stand the torture, so I don't want to suffer those useless pains. Besides, it's already miserable enough now."

I nodded again: "Good. Now that you understand, it's much easier. First, tell me how Vina was caught."

"She is constantly lobbying the various protoss on our side not to participate in the resistance. Some protoss choose to believe her words, while some do not think that you can stand in the United States, so they still want to help the guilds here in the United States. When she tried to lobby The Statue of Liberty was ambushed, and more than a dozen protoss took action to capture her."

I chose to believe her answer because it was a very reasonable answer. Wei Na's strength is above average among the Protoss. If more than a dozen Protoss attack together, it will be very simple to catch her.

"Good. So, tell me who you are?"

"My name is You Ling, the Shadow Goddess. I am the god of the Statue of Liberty. In fact, I am the lowest existence among the gods, only slightly stronger than ordinary creatures."

I nodded: "That's right. You are the least beaten among all the gods I have ever seen."

You Ling smiled: "If I were strong, I wouldn't be just a god."

"So the ability to change other people's forms is your special ability?"

"Yes. I can transform into someone else by fusing their shadow, but I can only choose one target at a time. If I want to transform into someone else, I have to cancel the transformation first, and then I have to touch the target's shadow before I can transform. "

"What about your fighting ability?"

"My fighting ability is almost non-existent. I am an auxiliary god, and a low-level god with very poor strength. Apart from my body being stronger than ordinary creatures, I am stronger and faster, and there is nothing else."

"Isn't it the Statue of Liberty who asked you to sneak into our city this time?"

"Of course, I am her god, so it is normal for her to order me to do things, right?"

"So what's the mission she gave you?"

"Look for opportunities to destroy all important facilities in the city. It is best to destroy the defense system and open the city gate."

"Do you have a design structure diagram of the city?"

"No."

"Then how do you know to destroy the city tree?"

"That was an accident." You Ling began to explain, and after listening to it, we felt that it was indeed an accident. You Ling just happened to enter the room of the City Tree at that time, and found out that the tree could actually talk. At first, she did not think that this was the control core, but later she discovered the City Tree because of my conversation with the City Tree. She could manage the city, so she went in and used the magic power lent to her by the Statue of Liberty to beat the entire city tree into a pile of rotten wood. It was the damage to the city tree that caused the series of problems that later occurred.

I thought for a while and continued to ask: "You are the only one sneaking in this time. Do you have any code to communicate with the outside world? How will you notify the outside world if you succeed?"

"There's a crystal in my armor."

"Is it this one?" Rose asked, holding a green crystal.

"Yes." You Ling said: "Those are a pair. Crush it, and the one in the hand of the Statue of Liberty will be broken together. This means the mission is successful."

"You didn't lie to us, did you?" I asked finally.

"Absolutely not."

I nodded: "Okay. If we find out that you deceived us, I will let you know what it means to regret." With that, I took the lead and left the room.

Everyone walked out of the sealing room together. Rose asked first: "Do you want to use this thing to send a false signal and in turn use it to inflict pain on the Americans?"

"I have this plan, but I just can't figure out how to use it to maximize benefits."

Hongyue asked uncertainly: "Are you so sure that she is telling the truth?"

"I'm not really sure, to be honest."

"Then what if crushing this thing doesn't mean the mission is completed, but something else?"

"It depends on what happens." Rose said.

Su Mei said: "There are many situations. It may be just the opposite. Crushing means the mission failed. As a result, the Statue of Liberty may kill Wei Na because she is no longer useful."

Ziyue suddenly said: "I finally thought of a way to make good use of this stone."

"Oh? What method?"
