Chapter 350: Flame Mouse
The power plant has its own plant protection team.
After several inexplicable burning and explosion accidents, the Red Dragon Army also sent special operations teams to the power plant.
This belongs to the Beishan District in the north of the city, and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau also has a district-level action team stationed here.
The three teams searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but they still found nothing.
Meng Chao was still restless, and he had a faint premonition.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, a mysterious fog rippled out of the void, emitting a faint blue light and red light, and gradually lowered into the night sky, connecting with the whirlpool-like dark clouds.
With bursts of piercing screams, the night sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible big hands, and in all directions of the city, there were huge tentacles dragging like a mixture of octopus and jellyfish, and shining "eyeballs" staggered out of the cracks.
Sky Splitter, the vanguard of the monster invasion.
It doesn't have too strong combat power, but it can unleash a sharp mental attack, bombarding the human cerebral cortex, causing the human psychic index to plummet, and being swallowed by fear and confusion.
The last few times the fog has fallen, the number of Eyebolts has increased.
There are so many that it makes people feel that there is some mysterious force manipulating behind it.
Moreover, the Eye of the Broken Sky is evolving.
Not only did the tentacles appear extremely strong, and the mutant "Death Angler" that could shoot down the tentacles from a height of 100 meters and directly sweep humans away.
A large number of new varieties have also emerged that can interfere with human networks and cut off all information optical cables and wireless communications.
Monsterologists refer to this mutant as the "Eye of Chaos".
It means that once they appear on the battlefield, they will implement full-band blocking jamming to block all communications between us and the enemy.
For humans who are well-organized and good at cooperative operations, it is naturally a great trouble.
Meng Chaozhuo stood on the commanding heights of the power plant, on top of a cooling tower that spewed water vapor like a volcanic eruption, overlooking the dark light emitted by the Cracked Sky Magic Eye, which infected the night sky with colorful colors.
Under the nightmarish night sky, the short-distance spatial portal had been opened, and monsters appeared in groups on the streets and alleys of Dragon City, even the most common monsters, such as the Sword Halberd Demon Pig and the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, were much larger and more deformed than the mist that fell when Meng Chao was just reborn.
With red eyes, foaming at the mouth, and muscles twisted from excessive tension, their killing instincts begin to pound on human-fortified neighborhoods and high-rises.
"Dada-da-da!"
The anti-aircraft artillery positions scattered throughout the city began to speak, and under the guidance of tracer bullets, one after another fiery snakes rose into the air, converging into a huge wave of destruction, and slashing their heads towards hundreds of Void Splitting Demon Eyes.
Some of the Sky Splitting Eyes were entwined by fiery snakes, shooting into thousands of holes in an instant, making a screaming sound like a balloon bursting, waving their tentacles, and dancing wildly in the night skyβthis eerie image was even more terrifying than the mental attacks they unleashed.
More Void Splitting Eyes were around them, but they released a series of strange force fields, changing the trajectory of the bullets, causing the bullets to pass them dangerously.
Humans and monsters alike are learning about war.
At the same time that humans are developing advanced combat modes against monsters, such as "Extreme Flow", monsters are also evolving, becoming less and less afraid of human bullets, at least the long-range attacks of ordinary bullets.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Phew!"
Luckily, humans still have bazookas.
Some of the soldiers who were ambushed on high-rise buildings, carrying heat-tracking shoulder-mounted bazookas, had already locked on their prey, and when the Sky Cracker fell below a height of 100 meters, the soldiers calmly pulled the trigger.
In order to avoid being attacked by the spirit attack of the Sky Splitting Demon Eye, the moment they shot, the soldiers closed their eyes.
However, rockets with thermal tracking can still accurately find their targets.
This time, the interference force field didn't have much effect, and the eyes that split the sky turned into brilliant fireworks.
And under the glow of the fireworks, more space was torn apart, and more Void Eyes came out.
All of a sudden, there were hundreds of neighborhoods and hundreds of high-rise buildings in the city, and they were attacked by monsters at the same time.
The barbed wire fence with high-voltage electricity "crackled", shining with extremely dazzling electric sparks.
Searchlights illuminate the community battlefield as if it were daylight, making it impossible for any monster with the ability to "mimime" and "invisibize".
The electromagnetic tower even released a series of shining arcs of electricity, like an unstoppable war knife, splitting and scorching the monster with teeth and claws.
An impregnable fortress that requires a lot of electricity to support it.
The five major power plants in Longcheng are all in overload.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the waste-to-energy plant in the north of the city remained unchanged, except for the temporary paralysis of two units due to prolonged overload, and there were no obvious signs of arson or explosion.
"Could it be that the monster isn't lurking here?" Lu Siya asked Meng Chao in the communication channel.
"I don't know."
Meng Chao shook his head, his eyes still staring at the night sky without blinking, and muttered, "The Meteorological Bureau said that this time the fog will last for a long time, maybe the battle will continue from late night to dawn, if I were a monster and have superior intelligence, I wouldn't choose to do it now."
"Wouldn't it be better to wait until dawn, when the power plant had been overloaded all night, when the human spirit was at its most exhausted and its defenses were at its laxest?"
Meng Chao sat cross-legged on the chimney and entered a state of deep meditation.
Having broken through the three-star spirit gathering realm and awakened a large number of memory fragments from his previous life, he was already able to face the dragon city that was poisoned by the war with an absolutely calm mind.
Even if the Sky Splitting Demon Eye let out a piercing scream and unleashed one terrifying wave after another of spiritual attacks, it couldn't disturb him in the slightest.
He even consciously expanded his life magnetic field, perceiving the life magnetic field of monsters, trying to find the secret that hundreds of monsters of different races could work together.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The monster's offensive has no tendency to abate.
Even steel conglomerates near waste-to-energy plants are under increasing pressure.
The Red Dragon Army special combat team stationed here, as well as part of the factory protection team, suddenly assembled and rushed out of the waste-to-energy plant.
"What's going on?"
Meng Chao opened his eyes sharply and asked Lu Siya in the communication channel, "Where are they going?" β
"The steel group has been attacked by a large number of monsters, and it seems that there are dozens of nightmare beasts and a few hellish beasts mixed inside, and the protection team of the steel plant is almost unable to resist, so they rushed to reinforcements!"
Lu Siya shouted, "I know what you're worried about, but if the steel group's defense line can't hold and the monsters take advantage of the situation to break through here, the power plant will still be finished!" β
"Where's Team Leader Ye?"
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "There are always more masters in the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, right?" β
"News half a minute ago, two power plants in the city and south of the city have a mysterious explosion at the same time, and it is suspected that there are strange beasts."
Lu Siya said, "Team Leader Ye took nine groups and rushed to 'put out the fire'." β
Meng Chao took a sip.
Suddenly calm down.
He took a deep breath and said, "Do you smell anything, it seems to be some kind of ...... Greasy flammable substance. β
"Yes."
Lu Siya said, "And there are quite a few of them, and they are coming up from the depths of the earth, along the pipe. β
That's a rat.
Just as some of the defenses guarding the power plant were being transferred to the ambushed steel group's defense line, thousands of rats suddenly emerged from the ground of the power plant.
These rats weren't like any kind of rat monster Meng Chao had ever seen.
They are greasy and round, their hands and feet are thin and short, and their movements are extremely clumsy, not to mention Meng Chao, as long as they are well-trained shooters of the Red Dragon Army, they can easily hit.
But after being shot by a bullet, they often do not die instantly, but because the combustible substance that fills the belly comes into contact with the air, they "whew" and turn into a raging fireball.
Stimulated by the flames and extreme pain, the speed of the rats, which were originally slow, will also increase by several levels, and while scurrying around, the flames will spread to the greatest extent.
For a time, with the sound of "crackling" gunshots, hundreds of fireballs screamed and scurried around in the power plant, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Fortunately, anticipating the risk of fire and explosion, the Beast Investigation Bureau contacted the fire department and arranged for an elite firefighting force to be here in advance.
Among them are several experts who are good at heat transfer.
In fact, there are many engineers in power plants who are adept at constructing psychic magnetic fields to convert chemical energy into electricity, or electrical energy into heat.
"Poof!"
More than a dozen fire trucks lined up, spewing dragon-like water columns towards the most dense place of flame rats, blasting hundreds of burning flame rats out fiercely.
The engineers of the power plant were chanting beside them, and the spirit patterns spread from the center of their eyebrows all the way to their fingertips, and the ten fingers turned into two gray mist, constructing a series of exquisite spiritual magnetic force fields, turning the water droplets blasted out by the fire truck into crystal clear ice crystals.
The earth suddenly froze, and the limbs of many flame rats were frozen on the ground, and Rao was still burning wildly with grease, but he couldn't take even half a step.
Gradually, the ice crystals turned into ice picks, which coalesced into a wall of ice, which enclosed a small ice valley and kept most of the flame rats inside.
The flame rats struggled desperately to climb out of the ice valley, but even if they were lucky, most of the flames around them were extinguished, and they themselves were burned to the ground and dying, so how could they have the strength to continue to attack the vital point of the power plant?
Not to mention, there was also Lu Siya hovering in mid-air and sweeping the formation.
After communicating with Meng Chao for more than half a year, she has gradually transformed from an auxiliary transcendent to a combat transcendent, and the "Earth Thorn Technique" has been cultivated to the point of perfection.
Seeing that there was a fish that had slipped through the net, he snapped his fingers lightly, and there were strings of tiny ground thorns, which poked out silently, and firmly nailed the flame rat to the ground.
