Chapter 80: The Tempest

The temple was full of people, and outside the temple, everything was silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But like the eve of a storm, under the extreme quiet, there is extreme madness. Depression, anxiety, and terror crept into the temple like a babbling stream.

It may be that the pressure brought by the machine is too great, or it may be that they only need to defend the only entrance and relax their vigilance, in short, the human beings have given up the basic common sense of combat, and they have not even released the guard post, but just shrunk in the temple and become a turtle with a shrunken head.

Meng Chen closed his eyes next to the Zion host, but he didn't dare to let the machine army bully him and didn't know it. He only had a handful of octopus sentinels at his disposal, and even then he tried to deploy them in every possible route of the enemy's attack.

When the atmosphere of the assembly in the temple reached its peak, Meng Chen suddenly received a report from all the octopuses. At the same moment, in all the passages, an unprecedentedly strong signal came. The machine army began to attack in a big way.

Meng Chen ordered his sentinels to keep an eye on the front, and he kept receiving information from all sides.

How many of them are there? Far more than 250,000. 500,000? 700,000? No, there's more! Until now, the end of them has not been felt.

Until almost all the sentinels in his hands were captured and killed, there were still more octopuses coming here.

More than 1 million!

When this conclusion was reached, Meng Chen's face turned pale. He clenched his fists so hard that it took him a long time to calm down. Once again, the machine army carried out its all-encompassing extravagance.

Does its army have to surpass the number of bullets on the other side in order to feel at ease?

There were only two octopuses left in his hands, one of which he had first transformed, and he hid this octopus in one of the most secret underground pipes outside of Zion City. Watching this fighting machine shrink into a small hole like a puppy in his consciousness, Meng Chen's heart suddenly felt a little tender, "Little guy, I hope you can escape this catastrophe, and I hope I can escape this catastrophe." When I get out of here, you'll be free. ”

There was another octopus, which Meng Chen planned to use to give humans a wake-up call. Meng Chen didn't command it to fly over with great fanfare. Instead, it crawled on the ground as much as possible, and only when it was close to the first line of defense did the octopus leap violently.

"Enemy attack!" The defensive line guard post issued a warning. Suddenly there were shouts, machine guns, and electromagnetic weapons.

The octopus crossed the first line of defense without pause, making strange movements, specifically looking for crowded places, and then flying like a frog to the next crowded area. It didn't attack, and humans couldn't let go of their hands and feet because of the rat trap. This lone octopus is like a martial arts hero, crossing the empty space in the middle and reaching the second line of defense.

A red light mixed with blazing flames slashed through the octopus, and the knight who had traveled thousands of miles and rode alone could not escape death.

Ishida Shuo carried the ghost head knife back to his shoulder, and shouted arrogantly at the others: "You bastards, you can't even handle an octopus, and you still want to hold Zion? ”

"Go and hold the line, warrior. You shouldn't blame anyone else here. Rak's voice came from afar, and he rushed towards it with Mifuan and Haman.

How could Shuo Ishida, who exploded at one point, endure the public scolding of the plot characters. As soon as he flicked the broadsword, red flames were immediately released from him. The powerful momentum directly pushed the crowd around him away. These flames are already extremely lethal to ordinary people, and many plot characters have been burned in just a moment.

Ishida's momentum had reached its peak, and just as he was about to make a move, Hyakchi stepped forward and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. His hand passed directly through the flames of Ishida Shuo and slapped on his Infant Master's Throne Sacred Clothes, completely unaffected. Ishida Shuo wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Hyakuri.

Lark rushed over, not rushing to check on the octopus, but kept his head held high and kept scanning the line of defense, scanning everyone. If anyone looked at him, he would look back with a calm and tenacious gaze. The commotion just now gradually subsided in his silent comfort.

Captain Mifu has led the Mech Regiment to complete the formation behind the first line of defense. He drove his heavy mech back and forth in front of the warriors, and he was very unhappy with the performance of the armor troops when the octopus broke through the defense line just now, so his scolding voice was now the loudest background sound between the two lines.

When Councilor Haman arrived, several people gathered around the octopus, and he spoke first: "This octopus is different from the previous ones, what is it doing?" Experimenting with our deployment? ”

Lark kicked the octopus, which was still emitting electricity, and said, "These machines are getting smarter, and they have actually learned tactics. Well, let me see how they intend to break through our defensive front. ”

Councillor Haman said, "Anyway, the machine army will be there later." I'll go back and declare a state of war right now, and the front line will depend on you. ”

After Councillor Haman left, Rak walked out among the crowd and shouted, "Warriors of Zion, the machine army has begun to attack!" Hold your weapons in your hands and brace your spirits. From now on, all of them are in battle mode! ”

With his orders, the first and second lines of defense began to rise and tumult like boiling water. But this intensity is a neat, purposeful movement that contains the flavor of war, and Zion, humanity, becomes a sophisticated war machine. This intense collective action reached its climax like a sprint, lasted for a while, and then quickly fell silent, leaving only the logistics troops to deliver supplies to the front quickly and steadily.

"Sir!" A staff officer called out to Lack.

When Lark walked over to the monitor, his eyes widened and his face was shocked, "The seismograph shows an unprecedented intensity of vibration. This has never happened before when the machine forces attacked, could it be a real earthquake? ”

The staff officer also had a little hope, hoping that something lucky would happen.

Lark stared at the screen for a moment, then walked briskly forward with a dark face. He walked straight out of the line and came to the front to look up at the top of Zion.

There was still silence above the dome, except for the occasional small piece of rubble or two, indicating that it was not a static picture.

Gradually, where the gravel fell, cement chips began to fall in strings. The momentum was unstoppable. Occasionally, one or two strings of water droplets left along the eaves on a rainy day have soon turned into water curtain holes, and there are all kinds of discarded items in between. The dome is shaking more and more with increasing amplitude and frequency.

"Ready!" Lark yelled loudly, and then dodged back into the line. The artillery turned, the weapons loaded, and the whole front fell silent. All that was left was the faint sound of gasps of the crowd.
