“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
!”
The originally peaceful World Tree was now surrounded by flames shooting up into the sky!
At this moment, the forest fire started directly!
Due to the multiple bombings, sparks flew everywhere, and in just half a minute, the Crystal City was surrounded by horrific forest fires more than ten meters high!
This is actually also part of the plan of the explorers.
Although they had experienced forest fires before and knew how powerful they were, this forest fire had no impact on Crystal City at all.
Moreover, with the World Tree there, even if the jungle was completely burned down, it would only take a day or two for it to recover.
Moreover, Crystal City had been besieged by mutant creatures before, and now there were so many giant beasts gathered inside. There were no ordinary animals near Crystal City that would be accidentally injured by the forest fire.
"So, let this forest fire burn more fiercely!"
Wang Lei stood on the control console, observing the surroundings, and said excitedly: "Damn, those guys outside have been spying outside for a long time. If we don't beat them, they really think we are soft persimmons!"
The area surrounding the World Tree was already ablaze with red flames and thick smoke billowing. The scenery was distorted by the heat, and just one glance at it could make people feel irritated and hot.
"We didn't spy for long," Wen Guixin rubbed her eyes and said, "In fact, they were only here for half a day, but we thought it was long."
For Xu Xin and the others, two months have already passed.
They have known for the past two months that there was someone outside, but they have never taken any action. They have been holding back their energy and have long been unable to hold back.
This sudden sweeping bombing of the surroundings was really gratifying.
"Brother Ma, let me control it for a bit! It feels just like playing a game!" Wang Lei approached Ma Hongwei, who was leisurely controlling the weapon launch, and said, "Aren't you tired? Let me share the burden with you!"
"It's not tiring, but you can try it, it's very simple." Ma Hongwei said with a smile.
It is so easy to control missiles and laser weapons and launch them outward from within the World Tree.
In their eyes, everything in the outside world slowed down to one percent of its original speed. In their eyes, those frantically fleeing mutant creatures and order maintainers were like slowly crawling turtles.
The missiles they launched were fifty times the speed of sound. Even if they seemed to be one percent slower, the missiles were still rushing towards the target at a speed of 170 meters per second.
Not to mention laser weapons. Even if the speed of light is slowed down to one percent, the human eye still cannot sense the difference.
So, it was as if Ma Hongwei was bombarding a bunch of snails and turtles with missiles and lasers!
It’s so simple!
Every shot is guaranteed to hit the target, and it is simply a pleasure to watch.
"Then I'll try it too!" Zeng Tao also came forward.
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
”
With three people launching the explosions, the explosions around them became more frequent.
Because time outside was a hundred times slower, the explosion, which originally lasted only a few seconds, was stretched to several minutes. As a result, in the eyes of Xu Xin and others, the flames and thick smoke produced by the explosion had enveloped the entire nearby area.
From the outside, it seemed that countless missiles exploded at the same time within this second!
…
Half an hour later inside the World Tree.
"What a pity." Ji Chaoyang sighed and shook his head, "Most of those who maintain order actually escaped."
It is impossible for them to dodge a missile that travels fifty times the speed of sound and has a considerable explosion range.
But the armor worn by those maintainers of order was really strange.
Although the power of the explosion could blow the order maintainers away, their armor seemed to have almost no damage.
Those guys staggered away into the distance one by one, were blown away by hypersonic missiles again and again, and then got up and fled again.
Then they all disappeared into the dense jungle in the distance that had not yet been affected by the fire and could not be locked by missiles.
Most of the people who maintained order fled.
"Tsk, if they use nuclear weapons, I don't believe their armor can withstand it." Wen Guixin sighed, indicating that she was also somewhat dissatisfied with the result. "The laser weapon seems to be somewhat effective against their armor, but it's a pity that it's too short."
As Wen Guixin said, laser weapons are actually effective against these armors, and can even directly burn parts of the armor red.
Even if the armor cannot be damaged, it will make the people inside suffer terribly.
But unfortunately, the effective range of laser weapons is too short.
Beyond one kilometer, the laser will disperse slightly and the power of the laser weapon will be greatly reduced.
After those order maintainers fled far away, the laser weapons could no longer cause significant damage to them.
This type of laser weapon can only be used for close-range self-defense and as an anti-missile system.
"You placed a nuclear bomb a few kilometers away from our World Tree. Do you think we are too old?" Wang Lei said unhappily.
"The presence of the World Tree may not necessarily have any impact on us." Wen Guixin argued.
"Just ask if you still dare to go out?"
"… snort."
"Be optimistic. We still managed to save a small number of people." Li Wenxi was quite satisfied with the result. "There were still a few people who were killed in the explosion."
"The escape of these maintainers of order may intensify the attack of alien invaders." Qin Yunlong said in a deep voice.
These order maintainers were sent by the alien invaders to fight in the front line, but they were directly driven away by firepower, and some even died.
After escaping, these maintainers of order will definitely report to the alien invaders.
The strongest maintainers of order among humans have been beaten to death or injured by this side, so what should they do next
I'm afraid I'll have to go on my own.
"It doesn't matter. Isn't this our goal?" Zhao Xiaochuan's face turned red due to the scene around the World Tree displayed on the console. Coupled with his slightly excited expression, he really looked like a villain arsonist.
But it is true that everyone present is an arsonist.
“That’s true.”
"Anyway, now that we are fully prepared and have done what we should do, it all depends on the other party's moves."
"Let's go, let's go back and rest. Even if the alien invaders are coming, they can't come so quickly. Why are you so nervous? I'm going back first."
"Ma Hongwei, I'll leave this to you!"
"I'll stay here too!"
"Ha, where are you running to! Die!"
…
When Xu Xin and Li Wenxi returned to the villa, Xu Ying was playing games by rubbing the controller.
"Huh? You finished it so quickly?" Xu Ying looked at the two of them in surprise.
"No. The bombing is still going on outside." Li Wenxi sat down next to Xu Ying and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"
"Oh, I told you, don't worry about me." Xu Ying leaned on Li Wenxi's shoulder, still rubbing the handle in her hand, and said, "I'm fine, right, Coco?"
"Bing!"
Coco was lying on her legs at this time, watching her play games. When she heard this, she immediately raised her little head and let out a cry.
Before Xu Xin and his team took action, Xu Ying went to the human base in the underground world again.
She wasn't in good condition after she came back, so she didn't participate in the previous actions.
“… We have already started.”
Xu Xin sat next to her and said.
"Yeah." Xu Ying hummed in her throat and continued playing the game. "When they really arrive, we will set off."
"It's still a long time ago. It should be at least several months away, right?"
Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin.
Several months...
That's true.
A full-scale attack by alien invaders shouldn't come so soon.
They also need to be prepared.
And at the beginning, we will definitely keep testing the waters. We can't just send out our entire army to attack right from the start.
Therefore, even if it is faster, it should take at least a few days.
The time inside the World Tree would be much longer.
It may even take more than a year.
Xu Ying's brows raised slightly.
Once the war truly begins, it basically means that she will be wiped out from the world.
If they want to deal with those alien invaders and invade their lairs, the power of the weapons in their hands now is far from enough.
The weapons she brought from another time and space did the job.
But if she uses those weapons, she...
"There's still quite a while left! That's perfect, I'm going to use this time to do everything I want to do!"
…
Outside the World Tree, the bombing lasted for about half an hour before gradually stopping.
But the forest fire did not stop and continued to spread outward.
There is no need to worry about the forest fire spreading, because the area is crisscrossed with rivers and surrounded by rivers. The forest fire will at most burn the entire area divided by the rivers, but will not burn the other side of the river.
But the area around the World Tree was already bare and charred.
The originally lush and green jungle has now lost its vitality.
There were even potholes left by artillery shells, making it look like the end of the world.
But in this doomsday scene, little dots of green gradually emerged.
New buds have begun to sprout from the scorched yellow and black ground.
This is the terrifying regenerative ability of plants within the influence of the World Tree.
And in this charred and barren land that is about to be regenerated, countless giant beasts are roaming around.
They are searching for possible survivors.
“Found it.”
On the edge of the roof of a two-story crystal building on the edge of Crystal City, a stone human figure was sitting.
Long seal.
He was the one who said those words just now, and at this moment his eyes were looking outside the Crystal City.
In that direction, a giant petrified beast was rushing towards him. Its huge body and unimaginable weight caused the ground to tremble slightly with every step it took.
This is a petrified giant bear, and in its paw, there is a person wrapped in armor.
In the bombing just now, several order maintainers were blown to death in their armor.
No, they were probably not killed by the explosion, because their armor was barely damaged. They were probably thrown into the air by the huge waves of the explosion, and then hit something, causing serious internal injuries, and then were thrown everywhere by waves of explosions until they died.
"This armor... is very strong."
Although the armor was very dirty, covered with dust and had some signs of burning, it was not damaged.
Chang Yin took out a piece of cloth and wiped it, removing the dust and burnt marks. The bottom still looked shiny and new.
"This thing is really advanced. It can survive being bombed by missiles of that power."
Although they were conventional missiles, and only small missiles were launched this time, and no Zeng Tao-type large missiles were launched, the power of the explosion should not be underestimated.
At least Chang Yin himself would never dare to take a direct hit.
But this armor has been hit by countless bullets, and it still looks intact. It's really amazing.
"The people inside are wrapped up really tightly."
Chang Yin grabbed the bottom of the armor helmet and exerted force, and with a "click" sound, he lifted the helmet up.
"Hiss—what is this..."
Chang Yin was immediately frightened by the face under the helmet and almost threw the man out.
A withered face that looked as if it was burnt, the hair on the head was extremely sparse, with only a few strands of hair here and there, and the face was as shriveled as a mummy with the bandages removed.
"What's going on? Being...sucked dry?"
Even as a stone man, Chang Yin felt uncomfortable with this man's face.
"Forget it, let's take this thing in first."
Chang Yin glanced at the still fiery red skyline in the distance, then turned and walked towards the World Tree.
The red color on the horizon is not the sunset, but the bush fire that is still burning.
This fire will continue for some time.
…
"This... this is the guardian of order?"
When the explorers saw the true face of the Order Maintainer under his armor, they all fell silent.
Even Xu Ying's eyes widened in surprise.
"How...how could this happen? How did he die? Could it be that the armor was resisting the explosion and absorbed his energy, sucking him to death?" Xu Ying murmured to herself, speculating, "No, I don't remember the Order Maintainer's armor having this function? Is it a new function invented in this time and space?"
"Of course not, this is the original appearance of this person."
The monster next to him spoke.
At this time, all the explorers gathered on the monster's side.
After a period of adaptation, the monsters no longer feel uncomfortable with crowds of people.
During this period of time, it has been gradually releasing those mutated humans, cooperating and communicating with the half-human, half-monster species it created, and even living together on a daily basis.
These genetically modified humans are the kind of people who can accept the appearance of alien invaders. After all, they regard alien invaders as gods, so they do not feel physically uncomfortable with the new race created by monsters.
And its new race of people will not feel disgusted with humans after getting along with these genetically modified humans.
These genetically modified humans are currently the most suitable ones to get along with its new race.
The monster also adapted to the appearance of a human during this time.
Even if all the Explorers came together, it would be welcomed.
"What?" Xu Ying was surprised. "Why? He..."
"Unlike our time and space, the order maintainers of this time and space made themselves look like this in order to please the alien invaders. After all, our time and space only experienced three hundred years after the war, but here it has been a thousand years. It is said that they changed their appearance in large numbers five hundred years ago." said the monster.
"There is such a thing..." Xu Ying opened her mouth slightly.
The monster spread out its two strange arms: "In my opinion, he is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than you."
"Okay..."
"Let me take a look." Qi Xuefei walked to the corpse and squatted down, reaching out to touch the man's neck, which was full of tiny bumps like a piece of rusty iron.
Then she said something that made everyone around her eyes light up.
"He is still alive."
They actually captured a defender of order alive!
