The predicted scene came as expected.
Standing on the control panel in the underground space of the World Tree, everyone looked towards the Far East, fifty or sixty kilometers away, and were all shocked by the densely packed flying vehicles that covered the sky like a swarm of locusts.
"This is even more exaggerated than your description..." Qi Xuefei grabbed Ji Chaoyang's arm and muttered to herself.
"My description was not accurate enough." Ji Chaoyang apologized.
"No, your description is very accurate. I finally understand why you said that you have no desire to fight just by looking at it."
Xu Xin exclaimed.
This scene is really exaggerated.
Although it was still fifty or sixty kilometers away from here, those densely packed black spots in the sky were already enough to cover half of the sky.
How much is this...
At this time, the monster also contacted Xu Xin.
"It's almost what I expected. I asked the man you captured to contact the survivors over there. The news I got is that although they didn't send out all their troops, they did send out more than half of their forces. Now is the time when they are relatively empty inside."
"That is to say, there are still a small number of troops near the base of the alien invaders." Xu Xin said.
"Yes. That's for sure. Of course the other side will leave some people to guard the house. But at least the difficulty of our infiltration is greatly reduced."
This is fine...
Xu Xin explained the situation to others.
"Let's set off quickly while they haven't come yet." Zhao Xiaochuan shifted his sight away from the enemy army in the east that almost completely blocked the sunrise. "Based on their speed, I'm afraid they will be back soon."
"Not very fast, right?" Wang Lei looked into the distance.
The speed of the aircraft in the distance does not seem to be very fast.
It always feels like it's a little bit faster than the previous petrified beast's speed.
"Hey, there are a lot of flying machines there! They should be very fast, right? You think it's slow because we are in the World Tree!"
"No, even according to the World Tree, it's not fast." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, "They seem to be... putting pressure on us?"
"I have the same idea." Ji Chaoyang nodded. "The speed of the other party's aircraft cannot be so slow. It is not even as fast as the mutant creatures running at full speed. They may want to use this posture to put pressure on us and intimidate us."
"Deterrence? Why? They are scaring us like this just to make us surrender? They want to win without fighting?" Zeng Tao asked puzzledly.
"Yes." Xu Xin's frown relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that the other party is not so confident about this battle." Shi Wanyun said softly, expressing what Xu Xin was thinking.
Yes, in Xu Xin's opinion, if the opponent's strength completely crushes them, then there is no need to do such a thing, just rush over and kill them.
Since this seemingly exaggerated pressure was exerted, it meant one thing: the other party was not completely confident in this battle.
“We can’t be too optimistic.”
As the person in charge of the World Tree siege, Ji Chaoyang poured cold water on everyone else.
"Perhaps they just want to show off their strength through this kind of thing. Hunters always play with their prey before eating, and this may be their motivation."
It is possible...
But Xu Xin didn't quite agree.
If you want to deter them, why not just surround them and do so
Why do you have to stay so far away? Aren't you afraid of attacks from this side
but…
Even at a distance of fifty or sixty kilometers, Xu Xin and his men can still attack!
Although the range of their missiles has been greatly reduced, they can still accurately hit targets within a hundred kilometers, and their speed and power are not reduced!
A super-fast missile traveling at fifty times the speed of sound would only take about three seconds to hit them fifty kilometers away!
Considering the size of their numbers, it would be difficult to completely avoid them!
"You should go now."
At this time, Ji Chaoyang said to Xu Xin and others who were going to sneak into the other party's lair.
"Once you get out, you'd better get away from the World Tree immediately, because... we have to attack directly. No matter what the other party's reason is, at this distance, they are already within our attack range."
It seems that Ji Chaoyang's idea coincides with his.
Xu Xin nodded.
"Everyone, we really should leave."
Then he looked at Xu Ying: "Yingying, you..."
Xu Ying nodded: "I'm ready."
Xu Xin turned around and said to Ji Chaoyang, "Take care. Success or failure depends on this one move."
"You are the key, you must succeed."
…
Xu Xin and his group left.
The people responsible for surrounding the World Tree have not taken any action for the time being.
They watched in silence as Xu Xin and the others came to the outside of the World Tree. Then Xu Xin said a few words, raised his hand, and put everyone into his bracelet.
Then Xu Ying grabbed Xu Xin's arm.
The next moment, the two were sucked into the sudden purple-black vortex and disappeared.
With just a few simple movements, nearly an hour passed in the World Tree.
This hour was a bit difficult for those who remained in the World Tree.
"They're gone." Qi Xuefei said.
"Well, let's go." Ji Chaoyang took a deep breath, "It's time for us to take action."
Suddenly, Ma Hongwei's eyes fixed: "The West! The West is... Another part of the enemy army has appeared in the West!"
Everyone present looked immediately, and sure enough, in the western sky, groups of giant beasts and flying beasts began to emerge from the skyline!
"That's... dinosaurs! And pterosaurs!"
Qin Yunlong's tone was very solemn.
Yes, the enemy also has behemoths!
Although the opponent cannot control creatures with the blood of giant beasts, creatures that are already large in size are not restricted.
The dinosaur army is heading towards the World Tree from the west!
These behemoths are also so numerous that they are chilling!
"You knew it a long time ago." Qi Xuefei whispered to Ji Chaoyang, "But you didn't tell us about it. You only said before that there would be an army of mutant creatures."
"The enemy's army is far more than what Xu Xin and his team saw just now."
Ji Chaoyang's hands were already clenched into fists. He glanced at the dinosaur army and then looked away: "However, these are not what they need to consider. They should not be disturbed by these things."
"... There are so many of them, and their weapons are more advanced than ours. Can we... really defeat them..." Qin Yunlong looked at everything in front of him and felt a little powerless.
"Our goal is not to defeat them." Ji Chaoyang corrected Qin Yunlong's statement, "Victory is what Xu Xin and his team have to do, and what we have to do is to hold these people back, the longer the better, even if it means paying a terrible price."
"To achieve this, our current weapons are more than enough." Qi Xuefei said, "This world tree and the weapons in our hands are our confidence."
At the side, Qin Yunlong's younger brother Qin Yunhu punched his elder brother hard on the head: "Don't spread panic."
"… I'm in a bad mood." Qin Yunlong apologized.
"Now that Brother Xin and the others have left, it's time for us to take action."
Ma Hongwei has already sat in front of the control console: "Let's find some survivors to come in. We can't fully control all the external weapons of the World Tree with just a few of us."
The reason why the underground space is so large is that in addition to this main control console, there are countless small control consoles.
After obtaining the authority of the main console, the small console can also control some functions of the World Tree.
The first wave of defense of the World Tree requires the joint efforts of more people.
Soon, the residents of the underground world who were responsible for external attacks were brought in one by one.
Although some of these residents had just been brought up from underground, Xu Xin's ability to read minds allowed him to confirm that they did not have any problems.
Moreover, it is a very simple matter to use the console to control the external weapons of the World Tree to attack those guys outside who are a hundred times slower.
Even simpler than the video games they played in the underworld.
Therefore, even if they have no experience, they are fully capable of doing this task.
They were already familiar with this place before. After entering the underground space, they found their positions skillfully. Each of them looked nervous but also a little excited.
But when they saw the scene around the World Tree, they were all frightened.
"OMG!"
“Oh my god!”
"This this this..."
"hiss-"
"What is this! Why are there so many!"
"I... I have trypophobia... Can I just blow them up right now?"
"This... this is..."
“Oh my god! Oh my god! What is that? Zoom in and take a look at those creatures in the west. Aren’t those dinosaurs that only existed in ancient times?”
"What the hell! There are dinosaurs on the ground!"
"Damn it! Those dense things have blocked out the sunrise! We finally get another sunrise, can these guys just go away!"
"Kill them! We have nuclear weapons in our hands now! The button is in our hands!"
"quiet!"
At this moment, Ji Chaoyang's voice suddenly spread throughout the venue, making everyone quiet down.
Although it was a bit chaotic just now, fortunately this group of people is very easy to manage.
After all, he is a fanatical believer and a military family.
Just one sentence silenced everyone in the audience.
"Everyone, I don't need to explain the current situation any further. You can see it for yourself."
Ji Chaoyang said.
"Our crisis has arrived."
"Those are the alien invaders that invaded our planet. They are what we have been anxiously waiting for these past few months."
"Our mission is to survive their attacks and protect our foothold in this world: the World Tree."
"We have a lot of ammunition, so we don't need to be too economical with it, but we also don't want to waste it."
"Most of the things have been discussed in the previous drills. I will reiterate that nuclear weapons can be used beyond 10 kilometers, and conventional weapons can be used temporarily within 10 kilometers."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone's answers were unanimous.
"Now..."
Ji Chaoyang looked at the scene outside.
“It’s time to take action.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hongwei pressed the button in his hand.
…
Outside the World Tree.
In an instant, countless hypersonic missiles swarmed out!
For a moment, a deafening sonic boom exploded around the entire World Tree!
But these sonic booms cannot completely reduce the speed of these hypersonic missiles.
When the sonic booms were just heard one kilometer away, the hypersonic missiles had already flown fifty kilometers away!
Immediately afterwards, the world was engulfed in a vast expanse of white light. For several minutes, Ji Chaoyang and his companions were unable to clearly observe the situation outside and could only see a vast expanse of white.
Afterwards, the white light gradually faded, and dozens of mushroom clouds slowly rose up at a location dozens of kilometers away from the World Tree, engulfing the densely packed aircraft.
The entire jungle was crushed by the blast, just like a rock smashing into the water, creating ripples that spread in all directions.
The war is about to break out.
…
“You are finally here.”
In front of Xu Xin, stood a masked man.
And now, they were beneath the dense canopy of a world tree.
That is the world tree belonging to Shi Wanyun.
"Go outside the World Tree first. It's not 100% safe outside." said the man.
"good."
Xu Xin turned the bracelet and released Shi Wanyun alone.
"Have we arrived here yet?" Shi Wanyun glanced at her world tree.
Then she led everyone inside.
"To be honest, I didn't completely believe you until I received news from the 'gods' saying that there were defectors among them," the man said.
"So, you should have brought us some news we need."
Xu Xin didn't waste time talking to him.
There is a great war going on over there on the World Tree. Every minute and every second of his time is fought for by Ji Chaoyang and his men, and not a single bit can be wasted.
"Yes, on the other side of the earth. I have prepared a base for you there, but..."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Although you can use the teleportation device to transfer, I don't recommend that you teleport directly, because the teleportation device belongs to the group of alien invaders. If you teleport, they will notice it."
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying has the ability to teleport.
But unfortunately, she cannot teleport to a place she has never been to, and the error will cost her life.
but…
"If there is a coordinate point, you can teleport, right?" Xu Xin asked.
At that time, I was teleported to this small island based on the coordinates provided by that ordinary man.
"Coordinate transmission?" The man was slightly stunned, not knowing what Xu Xin and the others were talking about.
"… Not anymore." Xu Ying shook her head. "My ability is very unstable right now. If it's just the coordinates, there will probably be a higher error, an error of several kilometers."
How many kilometers? This error is a bit large...
"Um, can you teleport without using a teleportation device?" the man asked in surprise.
"Yes, but the error is a few kilometers." Xu Xin said, "Is this okay?"
"Several kilometers? That's definitely not possible." The man refused directly, "Absolutely not. Your teleportation landing point must be accurately below the crown of the World Tree, otherwise there is a chance that the other party will notice it."
"The base I prepared for you is only 300 kilometers away from their main base. It is very close and is the closest tree among all the world trees owned by all of us humans. At such a close distance, there are spies everywhere. Not to mention a deviation of a few kilometers, even if you go out a few hundred meters, you will be discovered directly!"
"So, if you want to teleport yourself, you must make sure that your location is completely under the World Tree."
Xu Ying opened her mouth, then shook her head with a wry smile: "This is not the point. If we can really teleport safely, even if we deviate by more than ten kilometers, it will be no problem. After all, we have the Cloak of the Hider. But..."
Xu Xin also thought of the key and frowned slightly.
"The error of a few kilometers may not necessarily be the distance on the ground." Shi Wanyun's eyes moved, revealing Xu Ying's real worry, "It should be based on that coordinate point, and it is possible to go in all directions."
"Yes." Xu Ying pursed her lips and nodded, "It may be buried several kilometers underground, or it may fall from the sky several kilometers high. Even if it appears on the ground, it may be directly buried in the mountain..."
Yes, this is the most important question.
Safety cannot be guaranteed at all.
It is very likely that he would die suddenly.
Even the probability of sudden death is much higher than the probability of safety.
"If it doesn't work, forget it. There is always a way." Xu Xin comforted.
"... Hmm." Xu Ying's eyes were somewhat dim, "It seems that the transmission is not working. Alas... Why did something go wrong at this critical moment..."
In fact, it’s not just Xu Ying who has the ability to teleport, but also monsters.
But unfortunately, Xu Xin had asked the monster about this before, and learned from the monster that its teleportation ability was actually slightly inferior to Xu Ying's.
Unlike Xu Ying, its space-time ability seems to be more inclined towards time rather than space.
It can travel back to the past across thousands of years under certain conditions, but it cannot teleport across long distances on its own.
It originally came here from the other hemisphere of the earth, and even used the transmission device it set up here to teleport to the nearby area before coming here.
It can only transmit over short distances, and the transmission distance cannot even exceed ten kilometers.
If it is farther away, its position will become unstable.
Compared with Xu Ying's ability in space, it is far inferior.
However, Xu Xin did not take it seriously at that time.
At that time, he thought that since Xu Ying was there, he would not need it.
Now, the monster is naturally in his bracelet, waiting for Xu Xin and Xu Ying to take it over.
But unexpectedly, there was a problem with Xu Ying's ability.
No... I should have thought of it earlier.
He should have taken this into consideration since Xu Ying's abilities have been so unstable during this period.
"Ah, don't worry too much. The places I've been to can still be accurately transmitted. It has no impact on our plan." Seeing Xu Xin frowning, Xu Ying hurriedly explained.
…That’s fine.
Otherwise, without Xu Ying's transmission, their infiltration plan would probably be several times more troublesome.
So the question now is, without Xu Ying’s teleportation, how can we get there…
"So what do you think we should do to get there?" Shi Wanyun asked. "Since you brought it up, there must be a way."
"Of course." The man nodded, pointed to the ground, and asked, "You should know where this is, right?"
"In the sea between our continent and the continent occupied by alien invaders." Xu Xin said.
"Yes. In fact, this place is only two hundred kilometers away from the continent occupied by the alien invaders. It is very close. As far as I know, their base is in the desert about 1,200 kilometers from the coast."
In other words, their current location is only 1,200 kilometers away from the base of the alien invaders.
"Fly over there by yourself..." Xu Xin whispered, then shook his head, "No, no, that's too conspicuous."
"It's definitely not possible to fly over the ground. The alien invaders have already deployed satellites on the surface, but... they can't see underground."
The man's words made the eyes of the three people present light up.
Underground world!
Yes, the underground world is all connected!
"Go underground from this World Tree, bypass the underground areas of other World Trees, and reach the World Tree we have prepared. The distance between the two World Trees is only about one thousand kilometers. If we move quickly, we can arrive within two hours."
