Chapter 23: The Bitter Battle

"The empire is finished?"

Hua Feng playfully repeated Inkes's words, he was able to understand the parts of the other party's words, and in fact when this civilization first came into contact with the beacon and used the technology in the beacon, their civilization had come to an end.

Of course, the technology in the beacon is correct, but it is only the result that is correct, there is not enough derivation process, and there is no development route in line with its own technology, so such technology is useless except for use.

However, for low-level civilizations, they can't realize this, with the level of technology when they first came into contact with the beacon, they can't see that there is a problem with the technology inside, even if some civilizations are really lucky enough to see the slightest problem, but the people in power will still use these trap technologies.

As for the reason, it's simple, it's just human nature. That technology can indeed improve the development of low-level civilizations, and if you don't use it, then others may use it, tearing you off the throne and branding you as a stubborn rebel of civilization, which is very likely.

No one dares to challenge such a statement.

And once these technologies are used, do you need to continue to explore this area?

You can make your own speeding equipment, but the safety is not as good as others, who pays? You can make your own energy conversion device, but it's polluting, and who pays for it? You can make a subspace fabrication device, but the price is high, and who pays for it?

The development of science and technology requires a civilization to pay countless costs to advance, and when there is a convenient road next to it, how many people are willing to work hard to open up an invisible road.

This is not cultivation, it is not martial arts, even if tens of millions of people take the avenue, one person can open up a new path from the side.

The technological or mysterious development of a civilization must be supported by the power of the whole civilization to succeed.

But this does not fully explain the meaning of Inkes's words.

Even if civilization is finished and loses its development potential, it is not a problem for rulers, for most rulers, the development of civilization is not a completely good thing for them, and stagnation is not a bad thing.

"You know the 12th Prince."

"Of course, and you're one of them."

12 Princes, important figures in the history of the empire, because of their merits, each of their descendant families has a huge amount of resources, and it can be said that it is their family and the royal family who rule the empire together.

"The beacon has changed us, 12 Lords are qualified to touch the beacon except for people like me who dig the beacon, and in the process, we are transformed, both physically and mentally."

At this point, Inkes lowered his head, his mood was very low, but not because of what he had just said, but because of something else.

"It's not a serious change, and it even seems to be all good on the surface, we are smarter than everyone else, we are more able to control our emotions, so we are more likely to occupy high positions than ordinary people, but for some reason, I know a little more about myself than common sense."

"Our bodies and souls no longer belong to us, we only need a signal, we can't control our bodies, we can only be manipulated by beacons, and now we are just puppets." After a pause, Inkes rubbed his temples and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Judging by the current signal, Evas should have become a puppet." ”

"Firepower, concentrated firepower, you must not let those guys come over!"

Impelton shouted loudly, and in front of the betrayers were the guards who had surrendered, and now they were even more terrifying without weapons.

Not afraid of death, no, it would be more correct to say that they will not die, no matter how many times they are bombarded, whether it is blowing their heads apart, or penetrating their bodies, it will be effective, as long as there are enough organs in their bodies to move, they can move on.

This kind of scene has been seen by the betrayer once, but this time it is even more sinister, after the betrayer has lost the smasher he used before, as well as many heavy weapons, even if he has supplied a special cutter for this situation in the hidden area, but in the face of such a scene, it is still slightly insufficient.

What's more, this time there is also a particularly strengthened monster mixed in - Aiwatz.

His body fused into the ordinary walking dead and could not be distinguished. Just before, he used this stealth method to successfully evade the surveillance of the betrayers and bring them into the attack.

More than 20 of the betrayers were cut off by the waist and many were injured in that blow, the greatest trauma they had suffered since the ground was transformed.

But now there is a bigger problem plaguing them, they can't find the core of Evas, so they can't kill Evas, they can only repel the opponent's attacks again and again, and lose the space to maneuver little by little.

Fortunately, they were still able to insist, and the liquid sprayed by Aiwaz only had a strong corrosive effect on metal, and the effect on other materials was average, and even some were bad.

So when the betrayers covered the floor and walls with 10 centimeters of composite plastic to block the first raid by Evas, they held their ground.

"3.54 meters on the right, frequency 98734HZ."

The tentacles are close to the hole that has just been dug *** The vibration device is activated, and the vibration ripples are injected into the wall and transmitted to the internal mechanism, and then the internal mechanism is destroyed with a crisp sound. This is already the fifth mechanism to be destroyed, and there are still three left to open the gate.

In the final analysis, although the defense capability of the central vault is indeed extremely strong, even if the three of them want to open it from the outside world, it will take a lot of effort, but the inside is different from the outside after all, and the defense does not reach invincibility.

Even in order to defend against the outside wall, the gate mechanism is moved inward, which is conducive to internal destruction.

On both sides of her, Pang Zhi and Illya were holding a giant axe and a sword, posing as a parry, and it was precisely because of the two of them that they had been vigilant in defense that they had the success they had before.

But how many more times can such an attack be carried out?

In the past, it seemed that Nanami Chiaki only needed three seconds to destroy the first mechanism, but now it takes more than 20 seconds to destroy it, not only because the high-speed calculation takes Nanami's mental effort, but also because the mechanism has become more complex, more cleverly hidden, and more difficult to destroy.

And Pang Zhi and Illya's foreheads were also a little more sweaty than they were at the beginning.

Fighting in such a highly mentally focused situation, their physical strength is far beyond the consumption of normal conditions.

At this moment, the betrayer Aiwatz, and the betrayer's organization Nanami Chiaki and his party, the two sides are caught in the worst war of attrition, physical strength, human life, magic, and time are all consumed, and whoever can survive to the end will be able to win.

Once again, he condensed his magic power, called the name of the former marksman in his heart, and searched for the traces left by him and his legend in the endless roots of the world, which is the concept of the marksman.

Eventually, the tentacles turned into a drill bit and penetrated a 2-meter alloy plate, pouring electricity into it, and the mechanism completely collapsed.

"The last one is done, Illya knocks down the door."

There were eight gaps in the walls, each with different signs of destruction, which was the best way to destroy it after Nanami Chiaki's calculations, and at this moment the door of the vault had become an ornament, without any fixation, only strength was needed to make it open.

"Impelton, when you leave the vault gate, don't stand in front of you."

After reciting the message, Illya was ready to bang on the door

"The flesh is strengthened three times, the impact is strengthened twice, the impact is absorbed, and the lattice armor is covered." After attaching enough magic to her body, Illya slammed into the door.

"Bang Bang!"

However, just as the girl was sprinting, countless tentacles appeared on the ground, standing in front of her like spears, trying to use Illya's own strength to penetrate this delicate body.

But of course it failed, after being strengthened by a lot of magic, Illya's body was completely comparable to the armor of the chariot in a short period of time, especially the existence of impact absorbing magic, so that she only needed to take half of the damage.

As soon as the three people who rushed out of the vault joined the betrayers, the format immediately became favorable, at least in the scene it looked like the betrayers were organizing to suppress the walking corpses.

"The Heavenly Sword Naxing Han, the Earth Sword Returns to the Nine Lands, and the Heaven and Earth Break the Mountains." Projected, the sword qi arrived, and the ten thousand swords were like a torrential rain like thunder flashing through the dense corpses, unable to resist, unable to dodge, one after another sword qi easily broke through their skin, cut off their bones, and after a sword, only corpses were left all over the field.

In the final analysis, they are just walking corpses, and their bodies are still in the realm of human beings, even Pang Zhikong's sword qi is enough to solve it.

"Blade Spirit."

The demon spirit combined with magic power conjured up a half-virtual and real blade spirit, and the sword spirit moved between the group of walking corpses, and the condensed demon qi knife was thrown out in the rotation, with the power of high-speed rotation, cutting the flesh.

With just two personnel joining in, the situation is different at this moment, and the betrayer organization has suppressed the army of walking corpses under Evatz.

But Evaz is not a person who is willing to fail, or the puppet of the ** control at this moment is definitely not a person who is willing to fail, just when the firepower is concentrated on the front to clean up the group of walking corpses, the wall behind Impelton and the others is slightly raised, and then a sharp blade cuts through the 10 cm thick composite plastic, revealing the short pipe inside.

"Electric Burn!"

Nanami didn't turn around, and the mechanical tentacles behind him naturally rotated, pressing on the tentacle that protruded from the wall, and then tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage current burst out and poured into the tentacle, so it was paste.

The subtle difference in smell was particularly evident in the analysis of Nanami Chiaki Nano Combat Suit, and after calculation, the location of the core inside had been determined, so the next moment the other two mechanical tentacles also took action, penetrating the wall, and strong vibration waves entered it, shattering the core, grabbing the exposed tentacles, pulling the entire limb out of the wall, tearing it into pieces that would never be resurrected.
