Chapter 107: I'm going bankrupt
Nangong Rong still hasn't been able to meet with those bigwigs in the alliance, so naturally he can't ask about things related to the spherical crystal, so he can't confirm whether the thing that is silent now is safe. It is indeed very useful to reason, as long as Nangong Rong himself becomes stronger and stronger, the crystal as a weapon can play a bigger and stronger role, which is a good supplement for devices that only have auxiliary skills.
So after obtaining the consent of the glasses girl, the boy decided to temporarily bring the ball crystal with him for the time being. After all, in just three days, there was only a limit to what the locals could do, and the boy had to be prepared that Lin Weiyin couldn't follow him to the Razfield plane.
However, Nangong Rong still underestimated the tenacity and tenaciousness of the locals, and they spent a day finding the large force of the abyss through satellites - if that can still be called a large force - and tidying up the battleships in the harbor that were washed by the waves, and then spent another day handing over the patchwork fleet to Uncle Rex to lead the sailing away from the port and meet the enemy head-on on the ocean to launch a tentative attack, thus obtaining a lot of valuable information.
If it weren't for the lack of protective clothing against nuclear radiation, I am afraid that the size of the sortie fleet would be even larger. Because, in the end, most of the warships were not seriously damaged, they were just overturned on the spot or washed ashore and ran aground.
After seeing a Lin Weiyin wearing power armor pushing and even lifting the battleship and sending them back to the water from the shore and vividly interpreting what it means to be an omnipotent horse monkey soju, Nangong Rong didn't have time to sigh for a long time before he was approached by Disya on the morning of the third day.
The military arranged for the teenagers and girls to stay in a hotel in the city center, which is quite good treatment when many citizens are homeless. Although it may seem strange to be in this place to discuss matters related to the survival of humanity, it is much better than being on a street crowded with makeshift tents outside.
Disia was even in the mood to call some room services after entering the house, such as pastries, fruits, and black tea......
"I said, what are you here for?" Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines, couldn't help but sigh after the eldest sister put down the phone, "What is the trouble when you just enter the door and light a lot of things?"
Ignoring Lin Weiyin, who was smiling helplessly behind her, Di Siya sat down at the table very indifferently as if she had returned to her own home, and then asked unhurriedly: "Young man, when someone comes to visit as a guest, it should be a matter of course to pour a cup of tea for the guest, right? And this is a hotel, why not use it if there is a ready-made service? So, I just came here to eat and drink for nothing, anyway, I use public money." ”
"To be reasonable, I've seen brazen people, but I've never seen such a brazen person!"
Disya smiled and nodded elegantly at Nangong Rong: "Thank you." ”
"I'm not complimenting you, hey!"
The boy's madness didn't stop anything, at least not to make Disya give up her plan to talk about business while drinking tea. After all the things in the eldest sister's head note were delivered, she really held the tea in her left hand and took out the USB flash drive from her arms with her right hand and put on a posture ready to negotiate.
Lin Weiyin put the laptop she was carrying on the table, and after Disya plugged in the USB flash drive, she quickly called up some photos on the screen.
"That's right. The Abyssal convoy actively avoided the front line during yesterday's engagement and flew out of the atmosphere, where satellites observed that they appeared to open something like a wormhole in outer space and burrow into it, before disappearing without a trace. It is reasonable to believe that the other party retrieved the hedron fuel that had been used as bait in the harbor warehouse, and then began to move across planes. ”
For a moment, Nangong Rong thought that these photos were all science fiction type paintings, the outer space fleet near the planet and the wormhole that carried out ultra-long-distance leaping migration, etc., it was simply not too classic. But the rugged black-painted machinery he had seen with his own eyes, and the wormhole-shaped plane passage that the boy would never forget, reminded him that all this was a real picture.
Nangong Rong was silent for a few seconds, and then quickly relaxed his mood: "Ah, isn't this very good? The regular army of the abyss took the initiative to leave, and the rest are some miscellaneous soldiers, so it shouldn't be too difficult to clean up." ”
After taking a sip of tea, Disya put down the cup and smacked her lips to deny the young man's statement: "That's true, but we are not in a complete state. Many warships are still stranded or damaged and unusable, the walls of the harbor defense are basically abandoned, and more importantly, the abyss is always pressing, and the combat area is always kept within the nuclear explosion. Radiation has no effect on those monsters, but it is deadly to humans, and even if we have extra combat power, we can't send it now. ”
Therefore, nuclear weapons really can't be thrown around, and they will cause a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Lin Weiyin next to her immediately gave a pretty good news: "But the situation on the other side of the abyss is even worse than ours, in order to build that huge cockroach monster, they seem to have given up many ordinary monsters, and fused the bodies of these guys together as materials to make the boss." Now that the cockroaches have been killed before they can completely destroy the port, it will be very difficult for the remaining enemies to defeat us. No, it should be said that if the other side does not hurry up, it will completely lose the entire war. ”
The girl's words made Nangong Rong couldn't help but be inexplicable for a while, she had obviously pressed the locals into dogs before, why did she say that the abyss was going to lose the war now?
Disya brought up a few more photos on the screen, pointed at them and explained to the boy, "Don't be surprised. Not to mention the regular army of the abyss, the abyss here is mainly won by virtue of numerical superiority, and the other side is like a locust crossing the border frantically scavenging resources to form an unparalleled army, and it is natural to suppress the human beings, who do not have many warships and production, near the coastline. But the problem is that the resources in the Abyss Occupation Zone have basically been exhausted, and even the Abyss, whose primary goal is to infect and transform devouring creatures, has been forced to start raising fish, have you ever heard of this?"
"Ah, while it sounds as inconceivable as an army of the undead to raise humans, elves, orcs and other races that choose to kill some adults and transform into undead to replenish their consumption in war, it is true. Nangong Rong replied casually while observing the photo, and it didn't take long for the young man to notice something and suddenly realize, "Wait, is this the case!?"
The photo shows the human ship investigating and searching the bottom of the sea, and the teenager bets with all his discipline that they are definitely not looking for the sunken ship, but only the remains of a giant cockroach that disappeared after being caught by Lin Weiyin (and the king of the alliance's head-grabbing) in the fierce battle that day.
But there was nothing on the screen.
The eldest sister nodded earnestly and affirmed, "You can see it, right? Although the search was stopped after the Abyss army approached, and the nearby sea area was occupied by the Abyss, we didn't find anything there, not even a single fragment. The cockroach's corpse had completely disappeared to the point that there was no slag left, and although I didn't know exactly what was going on, there was no doubt that the abyss couldn't recycle it. The reason why Abyss dares to dismember a large number of miscellaneous soldiers as materials to build bosses is precisely because the opponent can perfectly reuse their corpses, so they will be unscrupulous when they put it in. But now......"
Nangong Rong couldn't help but think of the situation when the crystal tentacles that were hit by the alliance boss with a weapon suspected of being a sniper rifle during the port battle that day dissipated into a point of light in the sky, and at that time, there was not even a single debris left. It seems that the head of this boss is really not Lin Weiyin's.
To put it simply, the abyss, which has invested too much at once, has encountered a situation where resources cannot be recovered, and it cannot be requisitioned from the land that was previously badly devastated to replenish it, and is on the verge of bankruptcy......
After a slight pause and waiting for the young man to understand the current situation, Disya spoke again, this time the explanation she made was related to the next battle: "In short, the abyss of immortality has hurt a lot of vitality this time, and it is impossible to recover in a short time. It's true that our port is ruined, but several nearby cities have extremely strong industrial capabilities, and it is not difficult to restore them. Humans may not be able to build ships very quickly, but we have the resources, and we are much better than the abyss, where we can only rely on fish farms. Therefore, the Abyss will desperately use its last strength to attack the city of Beldown, because this area is the core industrial area of mankind, as long as we destroy it, even if we have the resources, it is useless. ”
"Why don't you bypass here and go to another place to land and grab resources?" Nangong Rong felt that there was no need for the abyss to fight with the fleet here, the other party could retreat to try their luck elsewhere, maybe they could really get some resources back, "As long as they get resources, they can quickly recover." ”
"Young man, do you really think that every port and suitable landing place for us is completely undefended, except for Beldown? And if the abyss does retreat, we will be able to drive the repaired warships out of the radiation zone in batches and assemble them, and the other side will not even have the last numerical superiority. When the time comes, the abyss will not be able to land elsewhere and will be attacked by the fleet behind it, what are they playing?"
Indeed, human beings have concocted a large number of detection devices out of the needs of internal wars, and they can't wait to make the entire planet into a full-open mode, and the abyss can't escape the surveillance of the other party no matter where it goes. This is also the reason why Lin Weiyin and their ships are not manpowered, but they are still able to resist the abyss army outside the coastline, so that the enemy can never land, so many monsters can't land at the beginning, and now it's naturally even more impossible.
Nangong Rong, who felt a little embarrassed, grabbed his scalp and quietly wanted to change the topic, although the two women, one big and one small, didn't care much about it: "Okay, I understand." So what exactly are you going to do, and what are you coming to me for?"
Disya finally stopped maintaining the posture of elegant tea drinking, she looked left and right at the young man and Lin Weiyin, who was standing silently on the side, and finally sighed helplessly: "Weiyin can't go with you, we need her to stay." The abyss is indeed badly damaged, but the radiation on the surface of the sea prevents us from using our full strength, and it is absolutely in line with the opponent's desire to use the tactic of slowly refueling the battleship. Therefore, the military decided to withdraw the fleet on its own initiative and drive outside the radiation zone, allowing the abyss to land in the harbor, and then fighting street battles in the city. Rest assured, factories in the surrounding cities are mass-producing army equipment at a fast pace. With this girl as the core to lead the troops, there should be no problem in blocking the abyss in the city. ”
The girl really wants to stay. Nangong Rong couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he also understood this, and he would choose like this if he did, after all, this is her hometown.
"I don't have any opinion, but are you sure you want to use the army that has been abandoned for a long time to fight street battles? I've seen what the army looks like before, the training is okay, but the weapons used are still against humans, and I'm afraid it won't have much effect on the monsters of the abyss, really big man?"
If the rifles in the hands of the soldiers guarding the port warehouse had been more powerful, and the heavy weapons they were equipped with were more suitable for fighting monsters, perhaps there would not have been so many casualties.
Disya raised her hand decisively and waved her hand nonchalantly: "Big husband, the people in charge above have already spoken, and if they really can't do it, they will drop another nuclear bomb." Anyway, half of the city has already been destroyed, and as long as the abyss can be completely destroyed in the end, then it doesn't matter if it is completely destroyed. ”
"That's a good idea, maybe this guy who doesn't talk through his brain should carry the nuke and detonate it in power armor himself, so he can be a little more reliable next time he makes a decision. ”
Ignoring Nangong Rong's cynicism, Disya herself was dissatisfied with it, but she also knew that the above decision was not wrong. Fighting those guys in a rage doesn't really solve the problem, and only by finding a way to defeat the landing force in the abyss can this happen.
"Well, it's useless to say all this, maybe the army won't need nuclear bombs at all in the end. The eldest sister lightly suppressed the young man's anger, and then tilted the corners of her mouth and smiled evilly, "In addition, Weiyin, this girl can't go with you, but it doesn't mean that others can't." We've arranged for a person to travel with you to Razfield as a delegate in the hope of having some technical exchanges. You know, there are a lot of people here who are interested in the magic you mentioned. ”
Nangong Rong didn't care very much, nodded and agreed: "No problem." Who's that person?"
"You know, Mira Coote, the scientist in charge of researching and maintaining Viyin's armor components. ”
That undisciplined glasses girl!?
