The world is silent and gray.
The pieces of gray catkins falling from the sky are like snow. It seems that we have returned to the era that has not changed dramatically, as if everything is just a big dream.
Unfortunately, this dream will not wake up, nor can it wake up.
Ugly, it is still ugly. Even if it is decorated with hypocritical beauty, it can't hide the truth behind it. So when oglock stretched out a finger and gently touched the "snowflake" falling from the sky, there was a slight sense of acupuncture on his finger, which was a sign of strong radiation. The snowflakes melted and scattered into a touch of smoke. Fly away and return to nothingness.
Oglock knew that it was not snow, but the high-temperature hot gas generated after the big bang, which evaporated the water in space. The evaporated water is mixed with the dust material rolled up by the explosion. After the heat energy dissipates, the strong temperature difference makes these mixtures freeze rapidly and form ice crystals, just like a snow.
An ugly snow.
He knew it, but he didn't want to find it. Unfortunately, whether he wants it or not, the truth is there. Facing the snowy sky, oglock let out a low sigh, and then lifted several rocks that pressed on him. Looking back, two-thirds of Yongye city has disappeared.
The strong explosion split and sank the earth. The city is close to the sea, and now buildings are scrambling to sink into the sea. The sea water poured back, competing for more territory and stripping more land. Oglock is on the edge of the city, where buildings have long been flattened by explosions. The cracks in the earth did not stop spreading. They made a clicking sound, split the land, separated it piece by piece, and finally swept away by the sea.
The aftermath of the explosion even formed a vortex on the sea, and a dark gray mushroom cloud was above the vortex. In the clouds, lightning flashes still appear from time to time, reminding oglock of the power of the explosion just now.
If he did his best to defend, oglock could not live even on the edge of the explosion. At the moment of explosion, more than 4000 degrees of high-temperature jet diffusion radiation tested oglock's defense field. As a result, he survived, but his energy had been exhausted and most of his body tissues were necrotic. Even if you can recover, your strength will jump down and never return to the height of the previous twelve steps.
For oglock, it's no different from death.
The sound of broken footsteps came into his ears. Oglock saw that dark guards climbed out of the ruins of the city. They were ordered by prosius to leave early before the Star Destroyer exploded. Only a few unlucky people were involved in the explosion area, but overall, the number of guards lost was limited. Now they come back, naturally, to give oglock a fatal blow.
When the dark guard approached, oglock smiled instead. He stood upright, his arms outstretched and his eyes closed. The moment before his death, his mind was strangely calm. At this time, what idea, what ambition, everything becomes unimportant.
Absolute peace.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped. The speaker who was aware of the difference opened his eyes and looked at the white snowflakes floating down. This is real snow, an ice crystal formed by pure water cooling! Oglock seemed to understand something. When he looked up, there was a commotion behind the guard. Suddenly, the blue light roared and flashed, and the guards turned into ice sculptures and exploded again.
The exploding ice sculpture made a passage between the guards. At the other end of the channel, the flying long blue hair was like a burning ice flame.
A pair of wings formed by ice and snow opened, setting off a burst of ice wind and freezing air, solidifying the guards on both sides of the channel. The huge inverted V-shaped ice sword scratched a clear line in the air, and all the guards on this line were ruthlessly killed.
When the cold wind came, a figure fell quietly. Blue hair was held in the air by invisible Qi. Xiuya showed a big smile and said, "sorry, father, I disobeyed your request again."
"Smelly girl!" for a long time, a faint smile appeared from oglock's face and a light scold.
Xiuya was very disappointed and stretched out her hand to put up her father's shoulder. With one of the ice wings, she and oglock flew up, skimming over the black ocean and away in a flash.
On the second day after the Star Destroyers attacked the eternal night city, on a wilderness 200 kilometers away from the eternal night city, the human army had just set up a new camp, and the soldiers who had no time to breathe joined the ranks of guard and deployment. In the command camp, Douglas sat silently, watching Cario and others arguing loudly around the tactical map.
Zero came to him and said softly, "are you okay?"
"This little injury doesn't matter," Douglas shook his head. He did hurt a little in the duel with oglock. However, the most serious injury was caused by himself. In order to control oglock's action, Douglas used unparalleled power. This force imposed a heavy burden on his body, but the blood vessel rupture was really only a small injury in the eyes of the 12th level strong.
In one day, these injuries healed long ago. What really made Douglas feel heavy was not his injury, but the picture that lingered in his mind.
The picture of oglock standing alone on the earth and submerged by countless guards.
"Oglock may not die," zero said, patting him on the shoulder.
Douglas said with a bitter smile, "it seems that I'm really old. I wrote my mind on my face. Otherwise, how could you see through my mind so easily."
"Since you say so, I'll try to be stupid in the future." zero deliberately said.
Then they laughed.
Kario and others, who were debating how to deal with the sudden incident, glared at the two people and then continued the discussion. Douglas winked at zero and said, "are you interested in walking outside with an old guy? These guys seem to be angry."
Zero shrug, which commander suddenly lost a lot of soldiers and resources, will never be happy. He accompanied Douglas out of the camp. They came to a high slope where they could see the wilderness in the distance. Several sentinels saluted the two at attention. Douglas nodded, pointed to the direction of Yongye city and said, "look, Yongye city has disappeared."
Douglas looked dignified, found a stone protruding from the ground, sat down and said, "eternal night city is the work of Ogg. It's gone now. Even if OLO is still alive, I'm afraid life is better than death."
"But living is always better than dead. Dead, there is no hope. Living, even if you are desperate, there is still a chance." zero Shen said.
Douglas looked at him, nodded and said, "you're right."
He looked at the rear camp: "unfortunately, not everyone has the same courage as you, zero. Look at these soldiers. They will also be afraid in the face of unknown creatures. Especially after the battle like yesterday, I don't think it's easy to restore their confidence."
Zero silence.
Yesterday, it was suddenly attacked by the Star Destroyer and the Guard Corps. First, under the destructive high-energy beam of the Star Destroyer, countless soldiers were killed. Then the Guard Corps came. If the attack of the Star Destroyers gave them the shock of the sudden death of a large number of lives. Then what these guards bring is the fear of ruthless killing.
The guard's army suddenly entered the chaotic barracks while the human coalition had not recovered under the attack of the Star Destroyer. It was not a battle at all, but a massacre. The command network exists in name only, the soldiers are almost fighting on their own, and the two armies continue to lose blood in the influx of a large number of guards. It was not until the capable troops built the first line of defense, and then kario and others came back that the situation was gradually reversed.
After leaving the bodies of tens of thousands of people, the army was able to retreat in an orderly manner. After retreating for 200 kilometers, the guards did not continue to pursue, and the human coalition got a chance to breathe. After that, the war damage was counted. In the wilderness outside Yongye City, the two coalition forces successively lost more than 40000 lives. In terms of war damage, if compared with the total number of coalition soldiers. Although the number of losses is painful, it is still barely acceptable. However, the war losses of the army come too quickly and too quickly.
A large number of lives withered in an instant, and the great impact of death frightened these well-trained soldiers. That is a kind of fear of helplessness and even despair of powerful forces.
To ease or even reverse the psychology of these soldiers, the problem now facing commanders such as Douglas or Cario is to win a victory. To boost morale and sweep away the shadows in their hearts.
However, all this is not easy. The eternal night city has been completely erased from the mainland. All soldiers knew this, even if it was only the damage caused by the Star Destroyer's self explosion, it seemed to imply that the invaders were irresistible to these soldiers. It's not easy to clear the shadow of this mind.
The wind blew from behind, and a wisp of fishy smell floated in the wind. Zero frown, turn around and look. In the distance of the wilderness, the light was dim, and gradually, a black cloud was spreading close to the horizon. Zero pupil dilation and close field of view. He saw clearly that it was not a black cloud at all, but a dark flood tide composed of hundreds of thousands of guards!
"Enemy attack!" zero roared, and his voice floated on the rear camp.
Douglas sighed and stood up.
On that day, more than 500000 guards stormed the human army's camp like a flood. In this dangerous wilderness, only the defense line composed of capable people can barely resist the impact of a large number of guards. The black tide set off a flood peak, rushing forward and then impacting the human defense line. At this moment, the spirit hall was closely connected with the dark Council, and the main body of the defense line was composed of blood horse and hammer of destruction, which blocked the attack of the enemy's black front.
The army retreated again, this time to the blue light mountain. Relying on the topography of the Blu ray mountains and the defense facilities previously built by the ogudus family, the human army has a chance to rest. The black soldier Feng pursued to the vicinity of the blue light mountain before he received an invisible order and retreated.
In the blue light mountains, led by Leo, some former members of the dark parliament formed a temporary Parliament and negotiated with Douglas of the Yingling hall on how to deal with the next war. Douglas's suggestion was to reorganize the army and go north again, and remove the biological legions of protheus from the mainland as soon as possible while they were not stable.
However, with the exception of Leo, the rest of the members opposed Douglas's opinion. They believe that it is unwise not to start a counter offensive at this time. The morale of the army and the allocation of materials are all difficult problems in front of them. If we can't solve these problems, we will rush north and meet another big defeat. Now, they can't afford to lose. If we lose another battle, the morale of the soldiers will fall to the bottom.
There may even be deserters. Once deserters appear, the army is not far from collapse. Therefore, the next action must be cautious and not too risky.
In this way, the two sides have been entangled on the issue of attack or defense. The meeting has been held several times, but no consensus has been reached.
On the third night of retreating into the Blu ray mountains, zero saw Douglas. Douglas looked a little tired. He shook his head and said, "these cowards still don't dare to fight at this time."
"Because they are not you, they don't have the courage to work hard," zero said.
"If at this time, we can't abandon our self-interest and consider the overall situation, why should we fight this war?" Douglas sighed.
Zero shrugged: "maybe they need time, or they need something to help them make up their mind."
"For example?"
"I don't know." zero smiled and said, "but I'm going to go back. I'm alone. Someone always needs to know the latest situation of the enemy, isn't it? Maybe I can bring back some things for the congressmen to make up their mind."
Douglas looked at him and said, "I won't say anything superfluous. Be careful."
"I see."
It was night, zero secret left the Blu ray mountains and returned to the northern part of the coastline alone.
It was another day in the twinkling of an eye.
The northern part of the coastline has been under the control of prosius. The mutant animals wandering in the wilderness are far away from that area in groups. The smell emitted by both Star Destroyers and Guard Corps makes the mutant animals feel fear, which is the fear in the face of natural enemies. Even though some of the wild mutants have evolved energy crystals, they can't avoid this panic from instinct.
There are only marginal areas left in Yongye city. The sea has covered the area in the city, and the waves are beating the wreckage of collapsed buildings or cars. The sky here is gray. On the dark gray sky, the remaining Star Destroyer slowly descends to the sea, and its huge body slides into the sea, causing huge waves one after another. The Star Destroyer made a low sound. When the sound completely disappeared, it had completely sunk into the seabed and disappeared.
A guard of about 100000 left Yongye city at the same time. Instead of going south along the coastline highway, they crossed the wilderness obliquely and disappeared on the horizon.
The remaining guards were entrenched near the city of eternal night. They occupied every corner of the ruins. If the area occupied by the guards is marked, they will be found to be fan-shaped. Deep in this sector, there is a queen and two producers. Now, the two producers are absorbing the energy of the mainland, and the energy spar produced is used by the queen.
Instead of producing combat biological weapons, the queen gave birth to two different eggs as high as a hill. There are two producers in the heterozygote. Originally, each Star Destroyer carries a queen and two producers. They will be the basic production unit of Proteus in mainland China. However, a Star Destroyer exploded in order to kill oglock. Together with three production units, it has been reduced to ashes together with the Star Destroyer in time to release.
Now in this case, the queen can only expand the number of production units before she can produce other arms. The queen is the maker of the biological legion, but it can't produce the same kind. However, the channel expands the number of producers. With sufficient energy spar supply, the queen can shorten the production cycle of biological weapons, so as to increase the number of biological weapons in a disguised form.
Now, the duty of the guards who occupy the city of eternal night is to ensure that the queen is not disturbed when she produces her army. In the production list received by the queen, because a large number of guards themselves are equivalent to medium and high-level weapons, the queen will directly ignore low-level weapons such as charge insects and reapers. After the other two producers hatch, the energy spar fully produced by the producer will be supplied to it to produce high-level weapons.
The first weapon to be produced is the referee. This biological weapon, which has strong melee ability and can serve as the command node of the biological army, is listed in the priority sequence. When they are put into the battlefield, they will form an effective command network. In this way, the operational efficiency of the guards will be doubled.
After the arbitrator, the black flame inspector and the fear guard will be produced one after another. The former can produce small fire puppet legions by itself. Each black flame inspector can be regarded as a small army, and their combat flexibility is very high. In particular, positional warfare in the medium range is the best field of this biological weapon; The latter is the auxiliary arm of the whole biological Corps. Fear guards of a certain order of magnitude jointly cast fear force field, which will have a great blow to the morale of ordinary soldiers and low-level abilities.
At the same time, their other abilities can also play the role of assists and assistance. Once under the unified command of the arbitrator, the combat capability of the whole Corps will be improved to a higher level.
The horror of the Black Legion lies not only in the number, but also in the cooperation of multiple arms. Once they are allowed to form a scale, with the cooperation of different arms, sweeping the mainland of China is not empty talk. Of course, to achieve this goal, procius needs time.
Humans also need it.
A heavy-duty locomotive galloped along the coastline highway. On the locomotive, the zero expression with windshield glasses was cold. In the reflection of the mirror, a black fog hovered over the city of eternal night. It's not a magnetic storm cloud formed by protheus, but a natural substance formed by producers after extracting continental energy. These substances form a fog mass. The fog mass itself floats countless material particles. They will effectively isolate the entry of most detection wave energy, thus turning the occupied territory into an unknown area.
Zero is heading towards this area, and the area at the north end of the coastline seems to have become a no man's land.
