Chapter 960 Overture to the New Era
On the north side of the blue mountain, the traces after the battle are still there, and the potholed mountains are still not refilled, keeping the traces of artillery bombing. The fortifications on the edge of the city are being rebuilt, shells and various ammunition are being produced by factories, and the city is regaining its vitality. This morning, Leo learned that Zero and Douglas had defeated the invaders, but his long-term cautious style still asked Leo to send several patrol teams to the surrounding area as usual.
Two of the patrols are responsible for the mountains on the north side and the forest bordering the mountains.
After 10 kilometers deep into the forest, the two teams dared not continue to move forward. Around here, Ansula's escort to protect her mother's nest can already be seen. The guard is basically composed of the lizard and the Garcia flying insects. The Garcia flying insects that can reflect the ambient light are almost invisible, and the lizards are moving around. Use your own footprints and smells to mark your territory.
When one of the patrol teams came to the defensive area, a lizard suddenly came out of the bush. The sudden appearance of such a big guy shocked the soldiers. Fortunately, they had received a notice from their superiors before leaving, and they didn't pay attention to the lizards in this area.
The lizard did not seem to be interested in humans. After smelling one of the soldiers with its big nose, it lazily drilled back into the bush. The captain of the team made a gesture to leave and looked at the forest in front of him before leaving. In the territory divided by the lizard dragon, there is a layer of yellow fog. This layer of fog can't be blown away even by the mountain wind in the forest, and only a smell like a rotten egg floats along the mountain wind.
It smells very bad, and you will feel a little dizzy after taking a breath. Think about it and know that it won't be a good thing. The team captain ignored what was in the forest and what the big man should worry about. As long as he made sure that there were no dark biological weapons like guards in his line of sight.
Of course, the captain will not know that the yellow aerosol is actually a ripening agent released by the mother's nest. In the area shrouded by yellow fog, the trees of the original forest withered in a day, and their plant essences were all converted into energy absorbed by the mother's nest.
The three mother's nests are located in the center of this area. The mother's nest looks like a mountain-sized fat insect, with light brown breastplates and a long row of short and thick feet on both sides. With a three-meter-long flat tail, when the tail passes by the ground, it will leave a light yellow **.
Now these three intermediate production units are lying on the ground. In the middle of them, the ground has somehow sunk down, and the sunken part is filled with light green **, looking like a small lake.
There are countless milky white follicles floating in the lake, and a miniature weapon embryo can be seen in each follicle. Around the shore of the lake, countless staggered and complex roots spread out. They are like the roots of some plants and some transmission catheters. As the root net finally radiated out, there were hundreds of strange trees that grew overnight.
These dark brown strange trees have no leaves, bare trunks, and a few branches will hang gray and white cocoon bubbles a height of one and a half meters. From time to time, there is light flashing in the cocoon bubble, and the shadow of some kind of creature appears.
In fact, these strange trees and small lakes are the production tools of the mother nest. After the promotion, the mother's nest has abandoned the original production method. They build deep energy-liquid wells to create strange trees equivalent to culture troughs. Then discharge the eggs of biological weapons directly into the liquid deep well. When those strange trees spread the rhizomes deep into the extraction of energy liquid for their own needs, the follicles will randomly follow the energy liquid to reach a strange tree, and then the strange tree completes the process from the follicle to the cocoon.
At the same time, the mother's nest will also release a ripening fog, which covers the production area to form a natural protective layer. At the same time, it can be absorbed by the meat cocoon, thus accelerating the growth of biological weapons in the meat cocoon.
The scene of mass production of weapons on this assembly line is similar to the first batch of assault insects produced by Proxius in the underground of Liu Island on that day.
The day passed quickly, and when night fell, the first cocoon fell to the ground. The cocoon wall ruptured, and a humanoid weapon of only 150 centimeters poked its head out of the cocoon. It quickly tore the meat cocoon completely, with sticky cocoon liquid on its body. After getting out of the meat cocoon, this thing first ate the cocoon clothes and the mucus on the body.
Following the crackling of the body, the body grew about ten centimeters taller and changed into a dark light armor. The biological armor flows with a metal-like luster, and biological weapons like this continue to appear. In a blink of an eye, there are more than 500 kinds of human weapons in the forest. They are the Kuian knights who can cooperate with the lizard dragon. After the Kuian knight completes the rapid transformation from juvenile to maturity, the juvenile shell they have fallen off is cooling, gradually changing from soft shell to cold and hard.
The Kuian Knights will collect their detached shells, spray energy flames with both hands, and weld these hard shells and two-meter swords. When the hard shells completely cooled, they became harder than metal and increased a lot in weight, becoming a epee. The Kuian Knight put his palm together and wiped it on the edge of the blade, and immediately fell off a layer of debris, and the original rough blade became sharp.
After completing the production of the weapon, the knight dragged his heavy sword out of the forest. The long-waiting lizard dragon rushed out of all corners of the forest. Each knight chose a lizard dragon and jumped up. Immediately, there were 500 more lizard dragon cavalry with both mobility and strength in the zero legion.
When Ansula reported the newly born Kuian knight to Zero through the core, Zero was reviewing the war damage report in the temporary camp. After obtaining the basic data of the Kuian Knight through the core and the improved combat power after matching the lizard dragon, Zero is very satisfied. After the combination of knight and lizard dragon, the destructive power is comparable to the paladin mecha of the western continent.
Even if it is now an improved version of the Paladin mecha, the single combat power is the same as that of the sasar. However, the production speed of the mecha is limited, and the driver also needs time to train, but the Quian Knight produced by the mother's nest only takes about 24 hours. If the resources are sufficient, the mother's nest can continuously produce Kuian knights, and a month later, Zero will have more than 10,000 cavalry.
This rapid production speed is not comparable to that of a mecha.
With the lizard dragon cavalry, the combat power of the zero legion will be increased by 30%, which is definitely a great help!
With the help of zero, the lizard dragon returned to the breeding ground in order to reintegrate with the Kuian Knight into a new army. As for other biological weapons, they are scattered in nearby forests and mountains, waiting for the next attack. Zero thought that the next time he went out, if there was no accident, he should go straight to the location of Proxius. But before that, whether it is Zero or Douglas, it will take time for the army to rest.
They still have a lot of things to do, the wounded need to recuperate, the equipment needs to be repaired, and the army still needs to increase its staff. And the most important problem is that they don't know where Proxius is hiding. However, Ansula can do it for this. He captured enough guards and even some arbitrators. These biological weapons have their own connection with Prosius, and Ansula can reversely analyze these biological weapons to find out the location of Prosius.
However, it will take time.
Zero continues to look at the war damage report at hand. This time, because the underground legion acted as a pioneer, the number of casualties of the allied forces of human beings and alien forces is within an acceptable range. More than 2,000 people were killed in Shuguang City, hundreds of serious injuries and countless minor injuries. More than 50 destroyed chariots, 100 of which can be repaired.
Looking at the string of numbers in the report, Zero shook his head and smiled bitterly. Looking back on when I entered the wilderness at the beginning of the year, I had more than a hundred pieces on my body. At that time, when the mission was issued, the death of the people around me was the most intuitive impact, unlike now, it was just some numbers. But when these numbers are linked to life, they seem very heavy. What Zero can do is to make these numbers as few as possible.
This is also the responsibility of the lord.
The next day, ordered by Leo, the army of the parliament intended to continue north. They want to return to the Eternal Night City. Although most of the city has been destroyed, at least the marginal areas can still be repaired. Moreover, the two underground material warehouses were not implicated by the big explosion, and many strategic materials in it are now scarce by the parliament. Leo's plan is to rebuild the remaining urban area into a front-line base to monitor and prevent the return of Proseus' army.
As for Douglas, who intends to return to Asgard, the army of the Spirit Hall needs to recover and wait for Ansula to obtain the coordinates of Proseus before planning. Zero can't continue to stay in the wilderness, but he doesn't want to return to the city of dawn. At least the army doesn't need to travel back to the hinterland of the mainland. He wants to place the army in Phoenix.
First, Phoenix is located within the coastline, and can also assist the parliamentary army in case of an emergency; secondly, Ansula seems to intend to transform the forest area near the Blu-ray Mountains into a breeding ground for biological weapons, which is adjacent to the Blu-ray Mountains. Once there is friction with the parliament, Brown, who remains in Phoenix to take care of the army, can come forward and negotiate in time.
As for Zero himself, he has to return to Shuguang City in public and private.
In this way, the three forces in mainland China are temporarily going their separate ways.
Although the Black Legion has been smashed, Zero is not completely relieved because of this, because there is still a star annihilator who is nowhere to go. After diving into the sea, it disappeared and didn't know where it had been.
At this moment of summer, even the coldest area of the Central Continent is located in the permafrost plains in the far west. At least 300 days a year, the ice and snow covering the surface have quietly melted, and in just 60 days in summer, the surface will show its original appearance. Until 60 days later, the ice and snow will return and turn everything into silver.
At the edge of the tundra, a steep cliff like a knife twists and turns to the northeast. After advancing hundreds of kilometers, the terrain of this special coastline tends to be flat. The relatively smooth area borders the sea, forming a huge sandy beach. On this beach, a large number of cave crabs come from the nest to the beach every summer.
This is a busy season, and the burrow crabs that have evolved will take advantage of this short period of warm weather to *breed. For saber-tooth seals, cave crabs all over the ground are undoubtedly a food that can crawl, so in summer, this beach will become a stage for cave crabs and saber-tooth seals carnival. The dense cave crabs will occupy the beach, and thousands of seals can eat round their bodies.
However, this year seems to be an exception.
When the East was white, the beach was already full of crabs. The saber-toothed seal began to climb on the beach and was about to start a feast all day. Suddenly, the sea turned red, and a red water belt came from far away, dyeing the sea water near the beach into red. Then the sea rolled down without warning, which was obviously very early before the ebb tide, and the saber-tooth seal felt vaguely uneasy.
The uneasiness in their hearts makes these greedy guys let the crabs crawl around under their own eyes, but not many seals will catch them. These chubby animals looked at the distant sea, and the rolled-up sea kept accumulating on the distant sea surface, and the sea level climbed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wind with the smell of the sea blew from the sea, which made the seals more uneasiness.
Finally, when the sea rose by ten meters, a sea wall swept over. The call of seals sounded on the beach, and these gourmets rushed to the beach regardless of the delicious food on the beach. Because behind them is a devastating tsunami!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the saber-tooth seals try, they can't advance faster than the sea wall. Finally, the continuous waves hit the beach heavily, and tens of thousands of cave crabs were directly fragmented under this violent impact. With this slap alone, the waves surged onto the beach and penetrated hundreds of meters into the beach. When the sea rolled back, the whole beach has become a vast ocean, with countless crab corpses and saber-toothed seals floating on it.
After the disaster, only the few seals survived. When these guys struggled to surface, they heard a deep roar from the sea. A huge head gradually emerged from the sea level, the star annihilator who had appeared in the Eternal Night City and slid into the bottom of the sea. After disappearing for nearly a month, it appeared in the far west of the mainland.
Under the action of anti-gravity organs, the annihilator jumped away from the sea surface, and the upper tons of seawater continued to pour down from both sides of its body, forming hundreds of large and small columns of water. The star-butterer roared, and the fin wings on both sides moved like a fish swimming in the water, and this huge * flew towards the beach. When it arrived over the beach, the abler's abdominal cavity cracked, and then fraternal eggs still flowing with body fluids spewed out of its body and fell to the beach.
After a while, the beach has changed a new group of owners. More than 30,000 fraterns occupied the beach. Soon after they fell to the ground, they began to tremble, and then only the guards came out of the egg shell. At this time, the sea kept regressing, and finally the water level on the beach only reached the guard's knee. After these things broke out of the shell, they took the egg shell as the first food, followed by seals and crab corpses, and everything that could be eaten became their food.
Even so, after swallowing all the food on the beach like a strong wind, the guard did not stop eating because of this. Some of the guards began to tear up their peers, devoured the bodies, and soon entered the sleeping state before the transformation. The rest of the guards did not move further. They stayed on the beach and became the guards of their kind in evolution.
The star annihilator made a low cry, as if after giving an order, he flapped his wings and flew towards the mountains. After excreting more than 30,000 guardian eggs, its breath became very weak. The destroyer finally entered the mountainous area, and the huge breath gradually disappeared.
Three days later, more than a thousand guards completed their evolution. Their shell turns into a fishy red color, and the wings of beetles grow on their backs, which can transform biological energy into explosive fireballs. After the full version of the guard with air control ability woke up, he led the army away from the beach. They moved northwest and cut into the tundra two days later.
If the forward route of the Legion of Guards does not change, they will arrive in a city in two days.
Green City!
"Lord Merlin! Lord Merlin!"
In the bright morning, the red Grand Duke Merlin was swinging his tomahawk to rule. The red tomahawk flew up and down, interwoven with a bright red light curtain, and the red Grand Duke was in this light curtain. When the tomahawk danced, the remaining light curtain in the air is still good for a long time.
The door of the fighting hall was pushed open, and a scholar from the Green Capital rushed in. The scholar was not good at physical strength, and his fast running made him gasp for breath, which made Merlin shake his head. When the scholar recovered, Merlin asked, "Early in the morning, what is this doing in a panic?"
"Come on, you have to come and have a look. Successful, successful..." The scholar raised his head and said happily, "We have found a substitute for Skystone, which is an element after *. It is efficient, pure and radiation-free. The only shortcoming will reduce the purification range and quality of Netheres Shield, but it has reached the vision put forward by Dawn City on that day.
"If this element is mass-produced, then a new era of cleanliness will come!" The scholar said excitedly.
Merlin also looked happy and said, "Let's go and take me to have a look."
The Red Grand Duke is naturally excited. If all this can be achieved, it will realize that a new era will open in their hands. What an exciting thing!
