Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ember Fire
Today's soot city is as peaceful as ever, and underground, an unknown emergency rescue is unfolding. Here's what happened: His Majesty led guests on a tour of the munitions factory, but the floodgates could not be opened due to an accident, and His Majesty and his party were trapped in the munitions factory while fighting an escaped otherworldly dragon. Immediately after that, there was no contact between the inside and outside of the munitions factory, but fortunately, before that, Chief Tonya sent a distress signal.
The passage is narrow, and large tools have to be disassembled into parts and delivered to the front gate for assembly. The twenty-meter-high and ten-meter-wide alloy gate seemed to be prepared for the giant god, and the sappers used [Flame Cutting] (this is their housekeeping skill) to divide into five groups from top to bottom, and work at the same time to melt the latch; Then install the pulley set and let fifty cast-iron black bears pull the door panel left and right. The gate was finally opened, and there was a gate of tens of tons in the back, turning all rescue plans into a fragile joke......
"You ...... Here it comes? "The gates are too thick, and Chief Tonya's wavelengths are filtered intermittently. After understanding the situation, she immediately decided: let Abomination pull up the floodgates in the front hall!
The floodgates opened only to the gap between the human calves, and the furnace ghosts eagerly climbed in. But the front hall is like a bottomless pit, no matter how many furnace ghosts are put in, it is far from enough! It's hard to imagine what kind of battle is going on inside! Worst of all, not long after, the gate slammed down, the brackets and jacks were all scrapped, and a few half-crawling furnace ghosts were crushed into thin discus! Judging from this situation, there may have been an accident inside, and there is a sudden shortage of manpower, and Chief Tonya is afraid that he will be more than lucky!
Then it was Chief Katerina's turn to give the order: abandon the gate and instead melt the metal floor under the gate, as long as it allowed people to pass through!
You must know that the military factory is the treasure of Chief Katerina's heart, and she can ruthlessly damage the military factory, which shows that the situation is more critical than imagined. So the furnace ghosts opened fire with all their power, and every part of the ground was melted, they shoveled it away and transported it out of the passage by manual relay. As soon as the project improved, water spilled out from the gap under the gate, and the floor, which had finally risen to the melting point, was cooled! The soul is on top, which means that the antechamber is badly damaged and there is water leakage! And the induction that came from the darkness let them know that on the other side of the floodgate, His Majesty is constantly sacrificing!
And at this time, news came from the outside world: there is an invasion of the gods, and the punk engine asks for more ammunition!
As anyone knows, heavy aircraft pilots and punk engines are the most important lines of defense for the Snowpiercer Federation, and their requirements must be met; Whether it is the anti-aircraft machine gun "Scythe" (14.5 mm caliber, 600 rounds per minute) that can block low altitudes, or the small homing missile "Fly" (range 300-5000 meters) that can be traced by infrared tracking, these weapons excavated from military factories that cannot be mass-produced by the Federation at the moment are all given priority to the use of punk engines, and His Majesty cannot touch them.
But the problem is that now the military factory is still locked, which means that it is impossible to provide ammunition to the gods! There is no need for the commander to urge, the soldiers consciously speed up the progress, this is a race against time.
——————————————————————————————————
Inside the munitions factory, the sound of water is murmuring.
"The survival rate of all personnel in the soot city is less than 3%!"
What the? There's going to be a big explosion in six minutes and fifty seconds?! Qingyi was also frightened: "Is it so serious?" "Soot City
It is the capital of the Snow Federation, once the soot city is destroyed, the revival of the past will definitely collapse, and in extreme cases, it may be removed from the ranks of kings! Compared to this situation, the loss of an ancient military factory is nothing! "Is there any way? Did the Predator leave any last resorts or anything like that? ”
"There is no way. Even Master Leibniz can't—"
"Nothing is impossible, he can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it." The old man reappeared and turned around, exposing his back to the enemy, just to face the passage. He said in a quiet voice: "Comrades, this is the most critical juncture. I need you to make sacrifices. Weld all the leaks to stop the eruption of the volcano, and only succeed, not fail. Long live the Snowpiercer Federation! ”
The target of his mobilization was the furnace ghosts who went deep into the interior of the munitions factory to repair everywhere, and the content of his speech was still short and concise. The mountains roared like a tsunami, and the wavelength of "Long live the Snow Federation" swept back from the side of the channel, and Qingyi heard his determination from it. This is a battle, and the object of the battle is not a physical enemy, but a cataclysm.
Then, the past will reappear and activate the [Soul Circuit] again! After repeated deaths, under the effect of [Resurgence], the quality and quantity of his soul energy were doubled compared to before, and in an instant, the circuit spread all over the entire front hall! The ends of the loop converge on the gate, and the gate is slowly raised! In order to prevent the otherworldly elements from healing themselves through the absorption of thunder elements, Katerina has cut off the energy of the front hall, so now the gate is consuming the soul energy that has reappeared in the past!
Hey, hey, that's dozens of tons of iron plates!
In the past, he fell to his knees again, bent over, his face almost touching the floor, and the Starry Night Gate behind him was scattered and blurred, which showed that this was also very difficult for him, and he could not take care of anything else. On the other side of the gate were soldiers still trying to melt the floor, when Tonya roared, "What are you doing in a daze?!" Go fix the pipeline! ”
So the soldiers ran past the otherworldly elements and the king, without stopping. The otherworldly elemental slowly turned, and just as it was about to do something, a hammer slammed into it, forcing it to turn its attention back to Tonya. And the skeleton in the suit didn't know when he came to the gate, stood with an umbrella, and said with a smile: "This road is not passable." ”
The otherworldly element immediately rushed towards the entrance, but this was only a feint, it rushed to the halfway way and a roundabout, and launched the [Explosive Dragon's Breath?? Electromagnetic Cannon]! Although it is not possible to completely kill the reappearance of the past, as long as the circuit is allowed to collapse, the gate will fall again, delaying the repair work!
At the moment of the flash of lightning, Tonya shouted "all lie down" and stood in front of His Majesty without hesitation, her long burning hair dancing in the impact. The hammer inherited from Engels, the Iron Crown, slammed into the shrapnel accurately, and the violent white light caused the skeleton in the suit to turn its head away. There was another earth-shattering sound, the white light dissipated, and the former was restored unscathed, Tonya was embedded in the wall, her arm was broken from the shoulder down, the hammer was stuck diagonally into the ground seven meters away from her, and there was a large hole in the ceiling, and another stream of water poured down.
Katerina muttered, "It's amazing that a high-level necromantic creature is immortal after fighting against the Vanguard. ”
Thanks to Tonya's time, the gate was raised to a certain height, and the safety lock automatically popped up, keeping the gate stuck in place, even if the energy supply was interrupted at this point. Disarm the realm, reappear in the past, staggering to its feet, and lead the abomination to launch a mortal charge against the otherworldly elements.
He was burned to death
Again and again, and again and again. Qingyi didn't dare to imagine how painful it would be for his soul to be burned repeatedly.
When all the Candle Knights were sacrificed, only Tonya and Katerina were left among the high-level subordinates present, and the otherworldly elements were also quietly suspended in the air due to too much consumption. The reappearance of the past did not immediately attack, but turned his face and looked at Qingyi. In the flames and smoke, his figure was blurred. At some point, the ashes covered the antechamber, covering the floor, walls, and ceiling, and even the water leakage stopped. One by one, the undead creatures covered in ashes fell, and Katerina sat down against the wall, her eyes open but unconscious, delicate as a nesting doll; Tonya also extinguishes the fire and falls into a deep sleep (her last words are "Let me fight"). Only the skeleton in the suit held an umbrella to block the ashes and was unaffected.
Qingyi took a slight step and felt the heat on the soles of his feet...... This ash contains a rich dark element, and once it is rekindled, the Hell Black Flame will devour all life in the front hall, and even Qingyi may not survive.
The Past Reappears: "June Sunshine, this is my secret weapon, you are the first person you have seen outside of the Snowpiercer Federation." ”
The [Ember Fire Field] realm absorbs soul energy with death dust while suppressing all energy except the fire element. Each necromantic creature absorbed gives you a 1% increase in all stats (1.5% for medium, 2% for advanced, 2.5% for hero, up to a maximum of 200%), and a 10% reduction in the effects of skills other than fire. If you die thirteen or more times in the seven minutes before the field is activated, you will receive an additional 100% increase in all attributes, and an additional 5% reduction in the effects of skills other than fire attributes. All units except self take the debuff.
The second area!
Qingyi always thought that he who had both the dual realms of [White Bone Purgatory] and [Soul Vortex] was the only lucky one among tens of millions of people, but he didn't expect the past to reappear!
The ash absorbed the soul energy of the necromantic creatures present except for Qingyi, and transmitted it to the past reappearance, and his lower body merged with the ashes on the ground, and his body expanded rapidly, occupying most of the front hall! The ash giant's back was pressed to the ceiling and had to bend down, losing its face with its head down, as if looking at the pitifully small otherworldly elemental. To Qingyi's surprise, the gap in the giant's face was deep and mysterious, and the stars were twinkling, and it turned out to be the [Starry Night Gate]! Countless deaths are used as a foreshadowing, and at this moment, the power of the past reappears overwhelming the other party!
With such a large body, it is simply the best target!
In the explosion, a bright light erupted from the otherworldly element, it was [Explosive Dragon's Breath?? Electromagnetic Cannon]! To Qingyi's surprise, the past that was always killed in seconds reappeared, and the electromagnetic cannon was intercepted just by raising his hand! The cannonball spun in the palm of its huge palm, revving slower and slower, and finally fell to the ground, creating nothing but a puff of smoke and dust on contact!
The otherworldly elemental trembled, and for the first time since the beginning of the war, it showed fear! On the one hand, the reappearance of the past has become stronger, and on the other hand, the electromagnetic energy has been weakened! The "dust of death" is like the end of everything, not only the spirit son, but even the elements that are free in the air are forced to settle! If you can leave this realm, of course, you will no longer be suppressed, but the problem is that now the entire front hall is within the realm, and there is no escape!
The Ash Giant raised his finger and pointed to the entrance, and an empty and emotionless voice came from the Starry Night Gate: "If you want to escape, you can try." ”
