The ground shook.
Irregular cracks resemble cracked skin.
Huge force tears at the fragile surface.
Above the chasm, trees collapsed and houses were torn in half.
Neighboring residents ran out of their homes in panic.
The whole world seems to be in turmoil, with more and more cracks opening up, and the monster underground seems to be violently colliding with the shackles of darkness.
"boom!"
Completely cracked.
Thousands of cracks.
For the inhabitants of the surface, it was a liftoff of death and destruction.
Thick soil flew and trees were uprooted.
Most of the residents who had no time to escape were thrown into the air and then fell heavily. Their bones were broken, their internal organs were shattered, and their blood flowed freely.
Others were hit and stabbed by the thrown up earth and house debris, dripping with blood, and died on the spot.
The flowing blood brought screams and howls.
There were countless casualties.
Corpses and building debris piled up to form a brutal wall.
This is an apocalyptic tragedy.
The tragedy occurred on the outskirts of the city of Mowu.
Quite close to the city.
"what happened?"
The congressmen who were preparing to have dinner felt this violent vibration.
The light fixture shook violently.
Soup was spread all over the table.
It was much stronger than the slight tremors that had lasted all day. It seemed as if the big guy from the ground had climbed up.
But according to the predictions of the geological department.
That guy shouldn't arrive at the tunnel exit until tomorrow.
"Is the prediction wrong? What are they doing at that address? There are so many key laboratories and precision instruments, and a large amount of money is allocated to train talents every year, so there is such a big deviation!"
An old congressman was furious and felt that there might be corruption again.
There are no private geological companies in Mowu City. There used to be some, but due to poor management and no profit points, they went bankrupt one after another. The ones that remained were directly supported by the government.
Just forget about being greedy on a daily basis.
This is a critical period.
“It’s the suburbs!”
"It's very close to us. It's only ten kilometers away from the boundary between the city and the suburbs. If the other party wants to start a war, they can arrive in a blink of an eye!"
The sudden news left everyone stunned.
It’s not just the time estimates that are wrong.
Even the location was wrong.
But now several main legions in Mowu City have gone to the no-man's land to set up defenses.
Even if they return to defense immediately, the people of Mowu City are destined to suffer an inhumane and devastating blow.
"There is a spy among us!"
Everyone reacted.
Eighty years have passed since the last war, and due to the high-tech fighting at that time, the word 'spy' was rarely mentioned in this world.
Everyone hurriedly held an emergency meeting.
The conference system is also started directly.
It's clear that problems are also occurring in the other eight cities.
"This was a premeditated full-scale infiltration!"
"Baker City has put all geological-related personnel under control."
"But what's the use? We are still being put in a position. The main force of Kerry City has already deployed several lines of defense in the no-man's land. There are only nine full-strength infantry divisions left to guard the city."
The person in charge of Kerry City sighed.
But the West immediately became jealous. The total number of West City's own troops was less than four reorganized divisions.
"After all, you still have nine divisions left in the city, with more than 100,000 people. We only have a few thousand patrol troops left."
In the north, a full division has a total of 15,000 people.
And judging from the level of industry in the north, it is estimated that they are all mechanized infantry divisions. As long as the opponent is not too strong, they can be completely defended until the troops in the no-man's land return to support.
"The other party's intention is very clear. They want to start street fighting directly and bring the war to civilians."
"They don't dare to collide with us on the plains. They have no confidence. Are they trying to force us to negotiate peace?"
"Then we have to fight first before we can negotiate peace."
This battle cannot be avoided no matter what.
Nine cities are taking action.
Let the troops remaining in the city begin to set up defenses.
Since the battle took place in urban areas and suburbs, the advantage of air forces was lost and they could not bomb indiscriminately to avoid hurting the people.
I can’t stay at home anymore anyway.
"Inform all people to evacuate and go to underground air raid shelters."
"Fortunately, after the last android riot, we cleaned up all the air raid shelters and stocked up on enough fresh water and food..."
…
Suburbs of the city of Mowu.
It is only ten kilometers away from the junction of the city and the suburbs.
A huge mixed area rises like a city, occupying most of the suburban area.
"Is this... natural light?"
Ivan stood on the rooftop of his third floor.
He saw through the rusted railings.
Even if the fog and haze are heavy, even if the world is gray, it still can't stop the bloody setting sun of summer.
Very beautiful.
very warm.
The clouds in the sky are burning, crimson like a dream, a scene that no skilled painter can describe.
There is no steel sky, no artificial sun.
The whole world is endless.
This was the most perfect picture he had ever seen in his life.
"It's so beautiful, like an illusory dream."
No one who has had a sweet dream wants to wake up.
Ivan turned his head.
It was only ten kilometers away. Standing on a tall building in this mixed area, he could see the place not far away.
Huge chimneys soar into the sky.
There are many high-rise buildings.
In a gray world, blue and light pink projection giants walk among the cities.
The airship hovers in the sky, like a cruising whale, free and unrestrained, because this world has no end and this sky does not need support.
This city, just the urban area, looks more than three times larger than the mixed area.
within the mixed zone.
People took up arms and walked out of their homes.
They also saw this picturesque scenery.
Someone pointed to the sunset in the distance and exclaimed in surprise: "It's the sun, the real sun. I've only seen it in books."
Thousands of mixed zone residents looked in that direction.
They were either standing on the street.
Or climb up to your own rooftop.
In summer, Mowu City is warmer than underground.
In the distant sky, on the distorted horizon, the burning crimson sun is releasing warmth and attraction all over the body.
All the people living in the mixed area, regardless of race, felt that for the first time in their lives, their diagonal shadows were so real.
They want to stay here forever and live here.
"That's the underground city over there. Those damn invaders drove us underground, but they can enjoy such a beautiful world."
"I don't want my descendants to still live in that dark place."
Many people turned their heads.
A pair of hateful eyes cast their eyes on the tall buildings not far away.
In that cold steel jungle, their enemies for hundreds of years lived.
They have had enough of such a depressing and chaotic life, as if they can never see hope in their lives.
Mixed zone in action.
This perennially chaotic place suddenly became neat and orderly under the command of all three floors.
"All the old, weak, sick and disabled should retreat. Pregnant women and children will take flying vehicles to return to the ground through the cracks. If we fail, we will blow up the passage and leave some kindling behind."
"Anyone who is willing to fight can come to me to receive weapons. If you have a physical defect, you can receive two months of genetic medicine for free. You have to be quick before the opponent can react..."
The third floor conveys orders to the second floor.
Then it will be executed on the second floor.
The special system of three plus two worked wonders at this moment.
Each three-story building is like a nail, firmly nailing the order of the mixed area.
This is the most tacit understanding among the countless three-story leaders in the mixed zone. There is no need to talk on the phone. No matter how much friction they have in daily life, they have temporarily put aside their grudges at this time.
Everyone feels their share of responsibility.
You must win. If you fail, returning to the underground will be a luxury.
In just ten minutes, the hybrid troops at the front of the mixed zone set off.
The efficiency is quite high.
The first batch was over 100,000 people.
The weapons are very crude. After all, the three floors at the front are improvised. Most people can only be assigned pistols or rifles, and there are not too many bullets.
"They can't be beaten head-on. Their weapons are much more advanced than ours."
"Divide into small groups and sneak in. Spread out. The mechanical ones are at the front. Each team leader remembers your mission..."
The urban area of Mowu City is very large.
The existing army simply cannot lock all urban-suburban borders.
What's more, there is a large inland sea in the 15th District, which leads directly from the no-man's land to the city. The combat effectiveness of Mowu City's naval forces is almost zero, and the establishment is almost cancelled.
This modern metropolis is full of holes.
These three-story leaders made the most correct response.
Small groups sneak in.
blossom everywhere.
They could tell at just one glance that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and they would definitely lose in a head-on confrontation.
"It has only been ten minutes since we appeared on the ground. The opponent will definitely not have time to set up defense lines on the edge of the entire city to find a breakthrough."
"Focus on harassment, try to save your life, run away after fighting a place, don't linger, if it doesn't work, just fight in the streets. This is the other side's city, they will take into account the casualties of civilians, and let the other side feel tired, then we can have hope. "
This is what the three-story lords said to the team captains.
Dispersed, extremely dispersed.
Bring down the enemy.
We will meet again when we are strong enough.
"Organize a second group of people immediately and ask those three-story guys in the back how they are preparing."
"This is the outskirts of this surface city. Go and capture some people from the surface. We need to understand the other party's true strength..."
"Tell the three floors behind you to be careful not to get encircled by the other side. We are not familiar with the terrain here yet. It is best to capture some hostages and block them at the front so that the enemy has some scruples. In special times, do not consider humanitarianism. Hundreds They were invaders years ago..."
Efficient instructions are conveyed one by one.
The third floor where Ivan belongs is at the very back.
Each of his more than ten second-floor owners has hundreds of thugs. There are other small organizations in each second-floor area, as well as some who are ready to seize the second-floor position.
All these people who can fight add up.
Ivan assembled tens of thousands of combat-ready soldiers in more than ten minutes.
There will be a steady stream of people joining in the follow-up.
Hatred has been engraved in the genes of these people, fermenting from generation to generation.
As beautiful as those histories described hundreds of years ago, their lives over the past few hundred years have been just as cruel.
"Even if I die, I will fight for a future for my descendants."
"At least I can die in this beautiful land."
Just as Lu Wen said.
People in the mixed zone are simple-minded, violent and passionate.
The war begins.
Start with the contact of the mixed zone with the city of Mowu.
…
Western world.
Under the crimson blood-red sunset.
Groups of dwarfs are running on the ground. They are strong and flexible, avoiding the pursuit of patrol soldiers in West City.
The weakest link in the underground world faces the weakest link in the surface world.
Everything was as Lu Wen expected.
He may be regarded as one of the only people in the world who knows Yin Long best.
The royal family in the West has issued a statement to reassure all people that they will live or die with the city in the face of this unjust invasion.
Another city, Versailles, faced a deformed race.
"These damn freaks remind me of old science fiction movies from hundreds of years ago."
"The Thing?"
"I don't know, it's disgusting anyway!"
The soldiers in Versailles fired with heavy machine guns, spitting flames.
The smell of blood permeates the air.
Chaotic blood mixed with mud, broken limbs, broken bones and broken internal organs can be seen everywhere, and metal bullets are mixed with flesh and blood.
The twisted body fell into a pool of blood.
Those deformed compound eyes, distorted facial features, and amorphous limbs are disgusting, as if they are cursed demons. They have descended on the world, roaring and attacking the defense line of the city of Versailles like they are desperate.
Every soldier is under tremendous pressure.
They have to face more pressure than blood and death, and everyone's psychological endurance is constantly being refreshed.
The one who couldn't stand it anymore and started vomiting was replaced.
The adjusted one will take over.
There are more places where there is no time to set up defense lines, and many deformed people have sneaked into the city with weapons.
The panicked screams and wails of civilians were recalled in various parts of the city.
Killing and bloodshed hung over the city.
Both sides suffer losses from each other.
In comparison, the weapons in the ground world are stronger, but the combat experience is relatively less.
…
Continent Center.
Central City.
This troubled city has not yet completed its integration with the former floating city. It has experienced riots by androids, and now it is ushering in an underground invasion.
A continent belonging to the mechanical tribe appeared in the urban area of the central city, directly in contact with the urban area, zero distance, and without the ten-kilometer buffer of Mowu City.
These mechanical monsters have no restrictions on reproduction within their bodies.
They have their own manufacturing plants and are building new robots every moment.
Therefore, this race is considered a very powerful race in the underground world, second only to the race that transforms people.
"Fortunately, the floating city also left us with an army of hundreds of thousands of robots. Compared with other cities, we should have an easier time."
The defensive capabilities of Central City can be regarded as the sum of the original Central City and Floating City.
Lines of defense were built in the city.
Heavily armed soldiers stood ready.
However, the two sides have not yet started fighting.
On the land not far away, a second piece of land slowly emerged.
That is the upper world underground.
Thousands of thrusters push the landmass higher and higher.
All Central City residents can see the slowly rising city.
"Is that the new floating city?"
