Chapter 22: The Worm Island Crisis
Zhang Tong loaded the purchased [Necromancer Temple] and [LiDAR] onto a large transport ship.
Of course, the Great Sage will not make a trip in vain. On the island, he sold some mature spirit grass, magic, and scientific items made of goblins, as well as some seeds, rare animal cubs, etc. Crystal Island shouldn't stay too long, because the longer you stay, the more deals you'll be involved in, and the more likely you will be targeted by those who conspire against you. After completing the transaction, everyone separates and immediately returns to the airport.
Launch the battleship from the airfield, activate the stealth navigation mode, and leave from Crystal Island.
Every trip to a virtual world is an adventure. Although the Aoki Demon Clan on Crystal Island suppressed the power of the bandits three times, the bandits could not be swept away. The suppressed forces are only the area around the Crystal Island. How vast is the space of the virtual world. As a center of communication between the six worlds, countless merchant ships and caravans came and went, naturally breeding countless ferocious bandits. Or when a strong caravan meets a weak caravan, the stronger side won't mind changing its state temporarily.
Even in the same world, creatures on different planes are different in nature, and teams of merchants and robbers are common. In the virtual world, people have to guard against anyone, even the same team doing business. Unless the forces are not equal, the strong side will inevitably attack the weak side and deliver the fat to the door. Who wouldn't want to bite?
Time passed one by one.
Several magic warships sail in fear. Fortunately, from beginning to end, there are no other racial warships in the world of dark nihilism.
"The space bridge is ahead. The Great Sage of the Heavenly Emperor also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although it is difficult to attack here, it has a long way to go. This virtual world tour shows people the way forward for future development and trade. We can't take humans to the virtual world every time. You remember the location of the virtual world gate. In the future, the door to the virtual world will also be opened for mankind. I hope that you will use this channel to develop your national power as soon as possible. ”
"Don't worry, the Terrans don't lose to any race. The continent and the world are the same!"
Zhang Tong began to gradually regain his self-confidence. At the moment, there are many concerns, and the outlook is not bad. The virtual world is a great place to be. The Mystery Shop helps in the dark and has a level 3 Zerg base. Humanity will soon be able to protect itself in this world.
The Great Sage did not speak.
Zhang Tong looked out.
Outside the window, there was nothing.
It's a feeling that can't be described in words. It is not dark because "black" is a color in its own right. There is nothing in the world outside the window, not even "black". There is only endless nothingness and a mysterious virtual world!
How many unknown worlds are there in this big world?
Suddenly, the whole world went dark. Up and down, left and right, southeast and northwest, countless stars of different colors appeared. Some nearby stars can barely tell the shape of the swirl.
"We're back!"
Lei Ming was really relieved at this time.
The rebel king said, "You can go back to the ship." Let's split up. ”
The Great Sage of Heaven carries a lot of goods. He didn't feel comfortable sailing outside and needed to shorten the distance, so he said goodbye as soon as he stepped out of the space bridge. Zhang Tong and Lei Ming returned to the large transport ship. Four medium-sized warships were opened from the cabins of the transport ship. They escorted the ship from all four corners and began to return to the island of Vom.
It was a two-day voyage from Xujiemen to Worm Island, and several warships sailed in the open area for a day and a half, leaving most of the distance to Worm Island.
"We will be back to Worm Island soon. “
"I'm sure everybody will be excited about this big harvest."
Zhang Tong chatted with Lei Ming.
At this time.
Suddenly.
A piercing alarm sounded in the control room.
Zhang Tong was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
A machine driver replied in a mechanized voice: "There are more than 10 UFOs ahead. They stayed in the reconnaissance zone of our ship for 15 seconds. They are suspected of moving at high speed, and the target is moving in the direction of the island. ”
Zhang Tong frowned.
More than 10 large vessels were swept off the edge of the survey.
This is definitely not a good thing!
Thunder stood up and said, "This is not our ship. Ships on Worm Island can't fly that far!"
Zhang Tong hurriedly told the boat to slow down. Fortunately, the other side was in a hurry to move on, did not find several ships, "analyzing the speed of UFOs"
The robot immediately completed the calculation and said: "312 times the speed of sound." ”
Zhang Tong was sure that it was not a ship on Worm Island. Because there are very few second-generation engine warships on Worm Island, and most of them are first-generation magic power warships, which have reached more than three hundred times the speed of sound in any case, these dozen or so warships are undoubtedly foreign, and they are not low-level foreign countries, at least faster than the second-generation warships on the mainland.
"Can we catch up?"
"The speed of that unknown ship is too fast for our ship to catch up. “
Lei Ming suddenly said: "The mystery shop has already bought a lidar, and now it's probably time to play a role." LiDAR can detect everything in 5 lightseconds. Although the opponent's spaceship is not slow, it will definitely not leave the range of 5 light seconds!"
Lidar consumes a lot of energy and is suitable for use on aircraft carriers. However, the energy of one large carrier is enough to last for a period of time. Zhang Tong ordered the robot to start the lidar directly.
A light wave that is invisible to the naked eye is released. After about 10 seconds, the message is fed back. Depending on the scanned object, the lidar image is momentarily invalid. Judging by the pattern, Worm Island should have encountered robbers. This detachment consisted of more than a dozen large ships and about a hundred medium-sized ships. Each ship is in tatters and seems to have been in use for a long time. In addition, there are a large number of symbols, magic arrays, runes, etc. painted on the ship. Resembles a skull or a symbol of death.
There are spirit ships and mystery ships. These models are not uniform. The whole thing is a hodgepodge.
Zhang Tong stared at the center of more than a dozen large ships. It's a huge creature ship, like a giant cicada without wings. Its massive limbs swing slowly, advancing at breakneck speed. "The Zerg Ship... Nope!"
I finally got it.
The clever Zerg who were driven out by the Continental Alliance are back for revenge!
Zhang Tong's brows furrowed, these warships are generally second-generation warships, and they are also a little more advanced than the second-generation warships on the mainland, as for the strange insects that are more than five hundred zhang in the middle, I am afraid that they are third-generation biological ships, if the fleet attacks Worm Island, the fragile defense system that the human race has just established will be vulnerable.
There is no chance of winning this war!
"Hint: A new mission has been released, please be careful!"
The moment Zhang Tong found the Zerg battleship, he finally released the mission again!
When Zhang Tong saw the master give the task, he felt relieved. Since the master will give the task, it proves that there is hope. The task of domination may be very difficult, but it will certainly leave a chance for humanity.
—————
[Mission Name: Zerg's Revenge.]
[Task Nature): Triggers the task.
[Quest content: The Zerg royal family wants to retake the base, and the wandering Zerg alliance is preparing to start a war on the island.]
[Special note: Zerg are still congregating, currently numbering 120,000, with a future estimated total of 800,000.] The enemy is armed with third-generation warships and third-generation biological weapons.
[Mission Objective: 72 hours of defense!]
[Mission Award 1): 100,000 RMB.
[Mission Prize 2): Randomly receive spirit animals, grains and fodder, or other development items.
[Mission Prize 3): Unknown!
[Failure Penalty): No
—————
The pay for this task is very good. The world currency alone rewards £100,000. There are also random rewards and unknown rewards. There is no penalty for failing a mission, and there is certainly no need to punish it. If the Bug Island falls, the Zerg will not chop humans up for fertilizer.
"There is more than one enemy!"
Thunder shouted in shock suddenly.
The lidar was constantly scanning, and several fleets appeared. The size of the fleet was as large as before, with a dozen battleships and one or two small large ships. After the overseas headquarters of these zergs were destroyed and slaughtered by powerful civilizations, they fled to different places and had no contact for more than a decade.
The only royal race of the Zerg, some of whom have spent ten years searching the long world, are hard to come by.
The Royal Strongman also brought 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, and the total number of extraterritorial intelligent zerg that could be accessed was estimated to be around 800,000.
The Green Alliance's overseas headquarters, which include researchers, growers and breeders, have a population of less than 3 million. There are only 4,000 humans on Worm Island. Even if you add the fighting machines, the Temple of Heaven Army, and the Heavenly Punishment Army sent by the Continental Alliance, the total number is less than 50,000.
There are 800,000 enemies!
The Zerg have some third-generation weapons in their hands, not to mention Bug Island. They are qualified to attack the foreign headquarters of the alliance.
Lei Ming frowned and said, "I don't see any hope for this kind of battle! even if the enemy uses a tenth or even a percent of the force, it will be difficult for us to resist. After all, they have three generations of weapons. Let's not talk about weapons. There isn't a decent headquarters on the island yet!"
Zhang Tong doesn't think so.
God asks humanity to defend for 72 hours!
How to defend?
Zhang Tong was silent for a few seconds and said, "We are about to enter the communication range. Please contact Worm Island immediately, and don't let anyone act rashly!"
Lei Ming said, "Let's contact the Alliance. Only the Continental Union can save us. ”
"It's too late. Zhang Tong frowned and said, "Not necessarily, not necessarily!" He stared at the map displayed on the radar and said, "Find out some of the weaker and weaker forces." ”
Lei Ming didn't know what Zhang Tong was thinking, but he quickly found one. "This one is a large ship, plus two medium-sized ships. It is estimated that there are no three generations of weapons. They are not far from us and will soon be within range of their attacks. ”
Zhang Tong pulled out the black prison sword, "Then that's it! Prepare your weapon immediately!"
Thunder didn't know why Zhang Tong didn't go back, but he wanted to sneak attack the Zerg, but he didn't question Zhang Tong's command habits and acted immediately. One large transport ship, four medium warships, all of them are second-generation magic guide ships, foreign warships are all special ships, and even transport ships have very weak firepower.
Zhang Tong did not stay on the boat. He drove a small boat and walked out of the aircraft carrier first.
