Southern Frontier, Second Defense Sequence. Μ)γξ ¦sγΡι£ζ΅ΌιεΉθΌε°θ£ι²ζΈζ£’γ€%.%Δ
A loud roar spread across the ground, and tall mech warriors stepped across the wilderness, leaving deep footprints in the dirt.
A steady stream of caravans entered the southern region along the wide concrete pavement. In the case of endless battles in the Four Realms and Eighteen Domains, and civil strife among the major forces, the City that never sleeps has become a rare pure land. With the take-off of the Southern Regions, even the surrounding boundaries have also developed rapidly, and mid-level cities have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"Although I've seen it several times, but every time I think it's really spectacular, I'm going to buy one in the future, with this thing, what soul beast is the caravan afraid of?" A merchant sighed as he looked at the speeding mech.
Sitting in the mecha is none other than Chen Shan, who is now the leader of the mecha squad, and the entire mecha squad has expanded from five prototypes at the beginning to an army with a complete sequence. From the large transport aircraft that transports mechas, to the logistics support of energy and parts, the first mecha unit in the city that never sleeps has become a dazzling signboard.
In the face of the terrifying size and lethality of the giant mecha, soul beasts below level seven can be crushed directly like ants, and the beast tide that made the city tremble at the beginning is now just a joke.
If all five mechs are assembled, even an eighth-level soul beast can fight! The city that never sleeps has gradually possessed a high-end combat power comparable to the original four big cities.
The headset kept reporting that along the border line of the Southern Regions, the city that never sleeps has established a three-tier defense line, with the most mobile rangers and unmanned automatic flight detectors as scouts, and if there is any trouble, it can immediately report to the second layer of defense - a blocking battle line composed of mecha squads, which is enough to crush most of the invasions. If even the mecha troops can't support it, then the third line of defense is the army formation led by the most elite troops and strong men in the city that never sleeps to meet the enemy, and even have long-range fire strike support from the main city.
Under such a dense defensive line, the border of the city that never sleeps has become a death blockade, and the corpses of soul beasts often pile up in the wilderness.
This is also the reason why the four big cities were so strong in the first place, that the intermediate cities were left far behind, and with such huge resources, it was difficult to develop.
Thanks to Ye Hao's ambition at the beginning, the territory of the city that never sleeps is big enough, and the government construction department has also begun to make careful calculations, after all, if you don't plan again, even if it is a city that never sleeps, there will be no place for it!
"Second squad returns, everything is safe at the border."
"The third team reported that the low-level beast tide had been completely annihilated and was waiting for the transport team."
"The fourth team has reported that the range of activities of the eighth-level soul beast has been discovered, and it is being reported to the Hunting Center of the Sleepless City."
"Good, huh? What about a squad? Chen Shan said with some doubts.
There was a burst of electricity in the headphones, followed by an intermittent sound.
"A small team reported that we had encountered a heavy fog with very low fog visibility, which may be an anomaly, and we are preparing to evacuate."
Mist? Chen Shan was stunned for a moment, where did the fog come from now, I'm afraid there is a problem! He immediately ordered: "You guys withdraw first, and I will apply to the higher authorities to send a probe." β
"Understood, ready to retreat...... Wait, what is this? "The sound of electricity in the headphones has become noisy, and the voices of the patrols have become more difficult to hear.
"It looks like a human figure...... Better...... We...... Don't look at it...... Wait...... This ......"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Chen Shan anxiously pressed the earphones, "First squad, first squad, what's going on, hurry up and report it!" β
There was only a rustle in the earphones, and just as Chen Shan was about to turn on the communication device, a frightened voice came from the earphones.
"Help! Help me! Ahh β
The screams were accompanied by a heavy crash, and then there was complete silence in the headphones.
Chen Shan took a heavy breath and turned on the communication device with a somewhat trembling hand.
"Report, report, the first squad has been attacked inexplicably, and it may have been wiped out."
"Got it," the researcher's face lit up on the communicator, who was now the person in charge of the mecha team and Chen Shan's partner. "The Defenders have sent out flying probes, and the scene has been projected onto your screen."
After speaking, several images appeared on the screen in front of Chen Shan, which were images transmitted back from the footage of the aircraft formation.
With just one glance, Chen Shan understood that this was definitely not an ordinary fog, there was a wisp of dead gray in the diffuse fog, and through the fog, he could faintly see a group of vague black shadows.
"Is it a beast tide?"
"I don't know," the researcher frowned slightly, "it doesn't look like it from the signal feedback, and the infrared thermal imaging can't find anything, so there shouldn't be any life in this fog." β
"Huh?" Chen Shan pointed to the black shadow in the mist, "Then what is this?" β
"I don't know, let's go a little deeper." As the researcher spoke, the camera began to move deeper into the fog, and soon, the aircraft formation entered the fog.
Chen Shan's eyes widened, staring at the picture deadly, as the camera zoomed in, the black shadow in the fog became clearer and clearer, and finally, when the aircraft penetrated the dense fog and put the black shadow into the screen, both Chen Shan and the researcher sitting in the city that never sleeped, let out an exclamation.
I saw that in the thick fog, a group of emaciated and stiff dead corpses were rushing forward frantically, their faces were already dry like skeletons, and their bodies were covered with blue-gray spots, but their speed was amazingly fast, and they flew past the aircraft in an instant.
"My mom, what is this!" Chen Shan was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his seat, his gaze swept over the screen, and he was suddenly startled again.
"It's not ...... The people of the First Patrol Squad? β
In the crowd of corpses, he clearly saw several familiar faces, which were the members of the first patrol team, their bodies were broken into a strange shape, and their flesh and blood were sucked dry, but despite this, they still dragged their broken arms and galloped with the corpses.
Syllable! There was a sound of shattering, and several shots went black in an instant, Chen Shan was startled, only to see a huge figure emerge behind the corpse group, seeing these figures, Chen Shan almost collapsed on the seat.
It was a group of huge soul beasts, and they also maintained the posture of being sucked dry. This group of soul beasts that had been dead for a long time turned into a strange beast tide that had never been seen before, as if they were still alive!
Soon, all the shots were pitch black, and in the quiet cockpit, there was only Chen Shan's fearful gasps.
"Oops, the fog is starting to move, it's coming in your direction!" The researcher's voice broke the silence.
Mu Ran raised his head and looked at the distant scene projected on the monitor, only to see that a round of dead gray mist was rolling in on the horizon.
Subconsciously holding down the headphones, Chen Shan gave an order.
"The Mechs are assembled and ready to fight!"
