Chapter 111: Insect Tide
After exchanging contact information with Li Kaixin, Lin Ze left and went straight back to school.
Back in the dormitory, Liu Jinghe inevitably asked another question, pestering him to tell him about Li Kaixin.
Finally sent him away, Lin Ze then climbed into bed, pretended to be asleep, covered his head with the quilt, and then put on sunglasses and logged into the game.
The world of knife language, the cultivation room.
As usual, Lin Ze liberated the Red Lotus, practicing flame manipulation and improving refinement, while exercising soul energy.
However, within a minute of the start, the radio in the corner of the cultivation room went off, and a shrill alarm sounded.
Lin Ze looked stunned, withdrew from the state of liberation, and frowned at the broadcast in the corner of the ceiling.
The cultivation room is a special place for swordsmiths to practice, and what is needed is to be quiet and undisturbed, so although there is a radio in the room, the alarm will only sound when there is a special emergency and all the swordsmiths need to be dispatched.
After staying in the cultivation room for so long, it was the first time that Lin Ze heard the alarm go off.
"What's going on?"
As soon as the thought flashed by, Lin Ze put away the soul knife, pushed open the door and walked out, coming to the hall on the first floor.
Amid the shrill and loud sirens, the hall had already become solemn and tense, and many swordsmiths hurried out, all with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Hurry! Hurry to the slums!"
"Go faster!"
"Go to the giant wall to help defend it!"
"Damn! there's a bug infestation!"
Bug tides?
Lin Ze keenly caught a key word in the chaotic sound, frowned, paused, and followed the crowd outward, rushing towards the giant wall of the settlement.
The Bug Tide is arguably the most terrifying disaster in this wasteland world, and there is no one!
In the past 50 years since the appearance of insects and beasts, countless human settlements have been wiped out under the insect tide.
Small insect tides can be fended off by tall and sturdy walls, and medium insect tides can be fed down, and the settlement will have to pay a heavy price.
As for the large insect tide led by the emperor-level insect beast, it is already at the level of natural disaster, and there is not one in ten settlements that can survive in the end, which is extremely terrifying.
Therefore, the human race in this world changed color when they heard the tide of insects, and Lin Ze walked all the way, and what he saw in his eyes, whether it was the ordinary area in the core area or the slum area, everyone had a panicked look on their faces, and their eyes revealed fear and panic.
Even the swordsmith who is high up on weekdays has a worried look that is difficult to hide.
The giant wall was located at the outermost part of the slum, and when Lin Ze arrived at the bottom of the giant wall, he saw Su Rin standing in the crowd.
Su Rin soon discovered Lin Ze's existence and waved his hand at him.
After the two walked together, Lin Ze immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
Su Rin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's an insect tide, but it's okay, the scale is not very large, and it can't reach the level of a medium-sized insect tide, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in defending." ”
Lin Ze nodded in understanding, his eyes swept around, and he found that the swordsmiths present were faintly divided into three parties, and the swordsmiths from the three major organizations gathered together and communicated in a low voice.
Among them, the leaders of the Knife Forger Guild were two elders, who happened to be the two who negotiated the Red Lotus formula deal with him last time, in addition to Pan Zongchang, who was also present, and bowed slightly to him after seeing Lin Ze.
At this time, Lin Ze suddenly noticed a cold gaze with malice, turned his head to look, and saw that in the crowd of the Autonomous Committee, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks was looking at him with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were full of chilling murderous intent.
Seeing this, Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.
After the Wanderer's attack and killing, he had asked Su Rin to collect information on Ding Jin, and had seen the latter's photo, so he naturally recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man who was staring at him with bad intentions was Ding Jin.
Obviously, Ding Jin still has a grudge against Lin Ze, if it weren't for the fact that the wanderer incident pushed him to the forefront, and even the autonomous committee had a lot of complaints about him, he would never have endured it for so long without doing anything to Lin Ze again.
However, this situation will not last long, and when the turmoil passes, Ding Jin will be unfavorable to him again sooner or later.
Lin Ze would not be naïve enough to think that the identity of the core member of the Swordsmith Guild would allow Ding Jin to retreat, even if the latter killed him, at most he would pay a certain price afterwards, and it would be impossible for the Swordsmith Guild to avenge and kill an autonomous committee member for him.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of killing intent, wondering if he was looking for an opportunity to kill Ding Jin first.
Just as he was thinking about it, the guild elder in front of the crowd had already spoken, ordering the guild's swordsmith to climb the giant wall.
The insect tide is coming from the north, so it only needs to be stationed in the north, but even if it is only the giant wall in the north, the length is more than a kilometer, and the width is more than ten meters, and the three major organizations are each responsible for a section of the giant wall, and nearly a thousand swordsmiths are scattered to barely cover the huge wall in front.
Climbing on the wall, Lin Ze raised his head and looked into the distance.
At the end of the field of vision, a black line is slowly growing.
When I got closer, I realized that the black line was a wave composed of countless insects and beasts.
The countless insects and beasts of steel soldiers, red beetles, spinypods, fire-breathing insects, and giant tan insects were like a wave that swept everything, rushing towards the giant wall with a violent and ferocious momentum, and the earth seemed to tremble faintly, and the ears echoed with a heart-wrenching sound.
Looking at the insect tide that spread all over the mountains and fields, and there was almost no end in sight, the faces of most of the swordsmiths on the giant wall turned a little pale.
Among the dense swarms of insects, there are many fourth- and fifth-level insect beasts, and there are even six-winged insects hovering in the sky, the latter belongs to the seventh-level insect beasts, and what is even more frightening is the titan worm that walks in the insect swarm, which is as huge as a mountain and is covered with a thick and solid armor.
The Titan Worm belongs to the advanced species of the Giant Tan Worm, it is an eighth-level insect beast, its body is as huge as a mountain, and when it walks slowly, the momentum that is as heavy as the earth rushes towards it, making people have no doubt that if they hit the giant wall, the giant wall will collapse on the spot.
"The guild found a nest of Titan worms in the ruins of a first-level city a few days ago, but before it could send someone to clean it up, the insect tide broke out. ”
Su Rin's cold voice came from his side, Lin Ze turned his head to look, the corners of the girl's lips were pursed, the palm of her hand was clenched with the soul knife, and obvious green tendons appeared on the back of her white hand, obviously not calm in her heart.
But think about it, although there are many battles with insects and beasts on weekdays, compared with the surging and almost boundless insect tide, it is not a level at all, and no matter how experienced the combat knife caster is, it is difficult to maintain a calm state of mind when facing the insect swarm all over the mountains.
If he hadn't known that this was just a copy of the game, and there was a way to get out of it, Lin Ze probably wouldn't have been able to be so calm.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze moved his steps slightly and got closer to Su Rin.
The girl noticed this move, her heart was slightly relieved, and she smiled lightly at Lin Ze.
As time passed, the insect swarm gradually approached the giant wall, and the roar echoing in the ears became more and more deafening, mixed with countless insect chirps and roars, and some sharp-eyed knife smiths could already see the texture on the carapace of the insect beast in the front.
The first to arrive at the Great Wall is the six-winged worm with the ability to fly!
The speed of the seventh-level flying insect beast was faster than the electric light, and after approaching, it only accelerated and flashed, and swept in front of the swordsmiths, and most of them had just reacted at this time, and their faces couldn't help but change when they saw this.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the wall, the bodies of dozens of six-winged insects hovering in mid-air suddenly froze, and then smashed straight down like meteors, slamming the wall.
Lin Ze felt something, turned his head to look at the crowd, and found an old man with a familiar face holding a soul knife that shone with dazzling white light, looking ahead with a smile.
However, it was the teacher who had taught him a soul knife course in the training camp, and he remembered that the soul knife he had was a 'white dwarf' that could create a gravity region.
If you look closely, you can see that there are faint air ripples in the void in front of the giant wall, and the field of vision has been slightly distorted, and it is obvious that the old man has arranged the gravity area in the sky in front of the wall.
Seeing the seraped insects smashing down one after another like rain, the swordsmiths on the wall were immediately overjoyed, and they swung their knives forward, and the overwhelming attacks instantly overwhelmed the hexa.
Lin Ze also released the Soul Knife and released the Flame Knife Qi to take the opportunity to kill a six-winged insect.
At the same time, Su Rin's cold voice jumped into his ears.
"Across the distance, Skyrim!"
A strange aura came out of the girl's body in an instant.
Lin Ze, who was standing next to the girl, suddenly had a strange feeling, obviously he and Su Rin were only a few steps apart, but at this moment, he had an illusion that he seemed to be at the end of the world.
While swinging his knife to kill the six-winged insect, he paid attention to Su Rin's movements with the corner of his eye.
The girl did not deal with the serapher insect, but put the target on the insect swarm that had come to a distance of hundreds of meters from the giant wall, and with a wave of the soul knife, she saw the corpse of a red beetle in the distance separate, and the head rose to the sky, the neck cut was neat and neat, and blood spurted out.
"Can I attack enemies at a distance regardless of distance?"
Lin Ze saw it in his eyes, and groaned secretly in his heart, and then thought about it, and felt that it should be more than that, 'Skyrim' was one of the only four high-level formulas in the Blackstone Settlement, and it shouldn't be only to this extent.
By this time, the swarm had reached the bottom of the great wall, and hundreds of cnopods raised their blade-sharp limbs into the hard wall, clattering upwards.
Thanks to the old man's gravity area, the attack of the first wave of hexapedes did not bring too many casualties, and the hexapods, which had lost their flight advantage and fell dizzy, were wiped out by the swordsmiths before they could recover their senses, and then everyone shouted and fought with the stinging insects that rushed to the wall.
The battle heated up in the blink of an eye, and the screams and screams converged into a rolling wave, which swept over the entire giant wall, and the red blood flowers bloomed, quickly dyeing the walls into a blood-red color.
Lin Ze soon saw the true power of Skyrim.
A fire-breathing insect that climbed up the wall raised its head and aimed at Su Rin a few meters away, spewing out a scorching cluster of flames.
The speed of the flamejet was obviously extremely fast, but in the process of attacking Su Rin, it gave people the illusion of being extremely slow, and the two extremely contradictory visions of extremely fast and extremely slow were blended together, making the onlookers' chests dull, and they almost wanted to shout loudly to vent.
There was originally only a few meters between the fire-breathing and Su Rin, but this distance seemed to be extended countless times at this moment, and the cluster flames spewed out by the former could not even cross half the distance, and the momentum was exhausted.
