The world is shaking.
The earth cracked and caved in.
It was as if an ancient giant beast had woken up and rolled under the ground.
Vast areas went dark and the power went out.
The order established over hundreds of years collapsed in an instant.
Buildings collapse.
The circular dome changes, and the complex metal patterns flow.
The entire underground seems to be shrouded in apocalyptic destruction.
"What did Mr. Yin Long do?"
People stumbled and leaned against relatively stable buildings.
Everyone's face was filled with fear and doubt.
They feel uneasy.
This has not happened for hundreds of years.
Confusion, worry, fear...
Negative emotions linger in everyone's mind.
"boom!"
The ground suddenly lifted.
After the huge border wall collapsed, the cracks left divided the entire world into pieces.
The roaring roar of the monster made the underground residents panic.
The higher world is separated from other worlds.
The land is slowly rising.
Each race in the middle world is divided into separate continents, floating to various places in the underground world.
"Rumble..."
The stone cliff that had always limited the world suddenly collapsed.
Discovered for the first time.
The entire underground world is actually so big.
The surrounding darkness was endless, as if the planet's ground had been hollowed out.
"It's machine tools and a lot of ground-breaking machinery."
They saw the old machines in the dark.
The gray metal machinery was stained with mud and dilapidated, as if it had never stopped working for hundreds of years, spreading the boundaries of the underground world in all directions.
Above the dark dome.
One by one, huge overhead lights lit up, illuminating the entire world.
It was a huge tunnel, wide and boundless, running horizontally underground, like a place where the mythical earthly python swam.
Deep darkness with no end in sight.
Even with the lights shining on it, it's still scary.
"It's the Mechanical Tribe. The Mechanical Tribe's continent has drifted over there."
From a distance, you can see that all the robots on the mechanical road have walked out of their homes.
I couldn't see their faces, but I guess they were frightened and uneasy.
As the world tremors intensify.
More and more tunnels emerge.
These huge tunnels have been connected to the entire underground world, with only a stone cliff blocking them. For hundreds of years, digging machines have been working in the tunnels.
"Haoyue did all this. This is the biggest secret of the underground world. Where do these tunnels lead to?"
Under each continent, there are thousands of propellers.
Breathing fire.
The driving force is strong.
Every race has been cut apart.
Eight races, eight continents, plus the mixed zone, there are nine continents.
It seems to correspond to the nine cities on the ground.
As for the final high-level world…
Floating city
Lu Wen is too familiar with the nine plus one pattern.
…
at the same time.
Underworld.
Mowu City.
The rioting stopped.
All residents, whether they were staying at home or marching, felt the earthquake.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"
"How could the earthquake last so long? It's been several minutes."
The chandelier in the room shook and the windows trembled.
People were holding cups of water, and the water in the cups kept spilling.
No one knows what happened.
"Wei Bo'an told us to hurry over and he sent a helicopter to pick us up," Lu Wen said.
"OK."
The Capitol Building in District 9 was once again crowded.
The atmosphere became tense.
Half an hour later, Lu Wen and Xia Chuluo got off the helicopter on the top floor.
Many senior officials and elite leaders from all walks of life were already present.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Either anxious or trying to be calm.
It's been half an hour.
There has never been an earthquake that lasted for half an hour.
The top leaders of the nine cities are all in contact with each other, and the results are similar.
"Currently, the earthquake is felt the strongest here and in Baker City, the center city is weaker, and the earthquake in the north is the weakest. There is only a slight shaking, but it lasts for a long time."
The chandelier at the top of the venue was still shaking.
The lights flickered.
People can't help but worry that the huge crystal lamp will suddenly fall down at some point.
"The seismological department detected the source of the earthquake, but... the results were a bit strange."
The source of the earthquake is moving.
The person in charge of the initial monitoring thought he was crazy or there was something wrong with the machine.
This feeling…
It's like watching a monster movie as a kid, where huge monsters move underground, causing the earth to tremble.
But this is reality after all, and we cannot pray for the M78 Nebula to come.
"The conference system is on..."
“Kerry City Access…”
“Coors City Access…”
“West City Access…”
“Eden Access…”
“…”
Another full meeting.
This is for emergencies.
The hall suddenly became dark.
Hundreds of figures emerged in the darkness, and in mid-air was a virtual circular discussion table.
Representatives from almost all cities arrived.
At this time, the whole world is still shaking.
The earthquake in Baker City was as strong as that in Mowu City. This city was built on the ruins of another city. The entire underground was empty, so it was particularly urgent at this time. They were worried about large-scale collapse of the city. Their councilman said: "More than one Things are moving, very deep underground, and our detection machinery cannot reach them.”
"It can be judged from the reflected sound waves that it is an irregular giant, and there are more than one. I believe that Mowu City should also have captured it."
"That's right."
On the Mowu City side, Wei Boyan took the stage in person.
He can barely be regarded as erudite. After all, he is almost half a genius. He can understand some of the address-related matters in a very short time.
"Currently, it has been detected that there are three things moving underground at very fast speeds with no obstacles. They have tunnels."
A member of the royal family here in West City asked: "What do you think it is? Is it an ancient monster? Or is it a mutated creature caused by nuclear pollution over the past few hundred years?"
This question is somewhat ridiculous.
But no one was laughing at the royal at this point.
The whole world is trembling, and everyone is unsure.
"It's not a monster." Wei Boyan said in a calm voice, "It's an irregular flat thing, more like... a piece of land."
"You mean, there are other creatures and highly developed civilizations underground?"
"If there really was such a civilization."
The old mayor of Central City stood up and said: "If there is, and they have been hiding well before, without any traces that can be traced, then there is only one possibility for them to suddenly appear this time."
There's going to be a war.
Everyone understands that there will not be peace.
If those creatures underground really wanted peace, they wouldn't have hidden it for so long.
"Based on detection, we have simply found the end points of the two tunnels."
"One of them is 50 kilometers outside Baker City, very close to the city, and the other end is 20 kilometers outside Mowu City, almost in contact with Mowu City, and is located between the Second Bionic City and Mowu City... "
Currently, both Mowu City and Baker City have responded accordingly.
Mowu City dispatched army troops to build a defense line in advance.
But not very close.
It was speculated that there was going to be a war, but everyone still held on to a glimmer of hope for peace.
If the other party insists on fighting, then there is nothing to say.
Serve directly from a distance.
Conquer the opponent first and then talk.
Most of the uninhabited plains outside Mowu City are very suitable for rockets to carry out saturation attacks on large-area targets.
At present, it is speculated that the technological level of the other party is not high, and may be similar to the technological level of the nine cities on the ground. Otherwise, they would not have waited until now to take sudden action.
Wei Boyan reminded: "If I guess correctly, there may be a tunnel exit outside each of our cities, so be prepared."
"Then what do we do?"
A member of the West City royal family panicked.
The entire West City currently has a population of tens of millions, but there are only a few tens of thousands of troops directly under it, and they are all newly trained recruits.
During this period, it was still the support from other cities that had been helping West City maintain law and order and eliminate mob organizations.
Among them, Mowu City has received the most support.
A large amount of supplies and soldiers were sent there at most, several airborne divisions at a time.
The spokesperson from Baker City comforted: "Don't worry, the opponent has been living underground, and the air force must be very weak. If a war is to begin, it will be a main showdown between ground forces, and we will send a corresponding level of support."
The old mayor of Central City also gave a reminder.
"You royal family members have already run away once, and you cannot run away a second time. If the other party really has bad intentions, you must show an attitude of sticking to the city and not let the people feel cold. The last time the entire city was defeated, it started Your royal family is on the run."
"We...well, okay."
West City didn’t say anything either.
The role of the royal family in modern times is that of a mascot.
The real power is not in their hands, but the people always respect them, so they really can't escape.
…
Mowu City seats are at the very back.
Lu Wen and Xia Chuluo did not participate in the discussion.
The technology of the ground world and a group of old politicians with online IQs are enough to cope with any unknown situation at present.
"What's going on underground?" Xia Chuluo asked in a low voice.
"Half an hour ago, my body underground lost contact with me. Even if I use small ants to spread the message, I can't do it."
Lu Wen talked about the last message that body sent him half an hour ago.
That was the few minutes when Yin Longgang announced the implementation of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' plan.
The underground world is divided and huge tunnels appear.
These messages were sent up.
Later, due to the distance, the little ants also lost contact with each other.
“Pretty much what these politicians speculated.”
If there is a big difference, Lu Wen will also give a few reminders.
But these old politicians in the surface world are all smart people, and they easily come to the right judgment.
Today, Eden made a splash.
No words were spoken the whole time.
No one is stupid enough to question Eden, but if Eden is really so powerful, there is probably no need to hibernate underground.
…
In the evening, the meeting ended.
During this period, the nine cities held meetings and generally deployed city defense lines.
The whole world has been shaken since ten o'clock in the morning.
Not as intense as it was at the beginning.
"The sudden appearance of an enemy we never knew about is bad news."
"But the good news is that the guys who marched are all honest and are returning home one by one."
Human beings are always afraid of the power of nature.
A small shock that lasts all day is much more useful than the troops' guns and artillery.
The matter of the androids was temporarily forgotten by everyone. The banners and slogans of the parade were discarded at will. The riots subsided, the injured were sent to the hospital, the ones who led the trouble were detained, and the ordinary participants returned home and followed the arrangements of the city.
Urban troops are gathering.
Some went to uninhabited areas and suburbs to set up defenses.
There are still some left in the main areas of the city.
[The end of the world is coming...]
[The underground monster awakens...]
[Continental plates move...]
[…]
There have been many speculations on the Internet, but they are all far-fetched.
Some smart people discovered the changes in the deployment of the city's troops and speculated that they might have to deal with a civilization they had never seen before.
Lu Wen was explaining to Xia Chuluo.
"According to Yin Long's consistent character, he will definitely move the strongest piece of land to Mowu City, so what we are facing is most likely a mixed area, where the residents are complex, passionate and violent, and have simple minds. It is similar to the slums here, and can be regarded as a slum with high force... "
"As for the two cities in the west, because they are too weak, they should face the equally weak dwarves and deformed humans..."
The cold-resistant white and black fur will go north.
The mechanical race has strong mobility and high combat effectiveness. They are most likely to be located in the center and appear near the central city.
As for the upper world.
This city with the most purely human races may also appear in Central City and float in the sky.
Replace the original floating city.
Xia Chuluo had never been underground in person, so she didn't know much about certain situations. She asked, "Will people in the underground world really listen to Yin Long and start a war with us?"
"Hate is engraved in their genes."
In fact, Yin Long’s mobilization is not needed.
When all the underground residents see the real sunshine, the desire in their hearts will be overwhelming. This desire can become the fuel for revenge, mixed with desire, and amplify hatred infinitely.
"Where's the truth?" Xia Chuluo asked again.
"The truth no longer matters. The inhabitants of the underworld will not believe that truth now. This war is inevitable."
Lu Wen needs a war.
And the end of this war ended with the failure of the underground creatures.
With failure, those residents will accept the truth.
"It's wrong... I feel like I'm missing something."
He frowned and deduced carefully.
The current situation is still not good for Yin Long.
"Tian Ji is racing?" Xia Chuluo reminded: "Using the strongest to defeat the weakest, Yin Long occupied several cities in the underground world in advance, creating a tug-of-war situation, and then forced peace talks?"
She suggested that the mixed zone might be sent to the West.
Occupy two cities in the west in advance.
"No, no, the underground world is still too weak. It is useless to occupy two Western cities. It will not form a stalemate."
Xia Chuluo didn't understand the true strength underground.
But Lu Wen knew everything.
So he felt something was missing.
If he were Yin Long, how could he maximize the benefits in a war after mastering the relatively strong but limited area of the underground world
The strength of the entire underground, combined, is estimated to be able to equal one and a half Mowu City.
"Urban street fighting brings the war to civilians, so that there is a chance for peace talks."
"But Yin Long didn't dare to order action against ordinary people, so that his ugly face would be clearly seen. He could only let the war happen directly in the city, so..."
Therefore, the tunnel exit cannot be in the no-man's land outside Mowu City.
That way, you will be criticized as soon as you show up.
The same goes for other cities.
In a decisive battle on the uninhabited plains, the underground world will definitely lose.
The gap in weapons and the quality of individual soldiers cannot be compensated, not to mention that the army in the ground city has air support.
Just a few random bombings, and the underground world will surrender.
Yin Long would not be so stupid.
Therefore, the exits of those huge tunnels are most likely in the urban areas or suburbs of every city.
Either it was a mapping error by the geological department.
Either that or...
“The geology departments in nine cities were infiltrated by undercover agents, and what we got were fake tunnel maps.”
