Chapter Ninety-Nine: Misfortune (II)
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he heard the banyan tree consciousness say that the Alien Corpse King was so powerful: "Why is it staying in its own territory since it is so powerful?" And why do you want to make such a big move and send such a big corpse to attack the city? Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for it to destroy the Desert Green Boat Base and seize the Life Source Stone? ”
"My rhizome once went deep into the place where the Alien Corpse King inhabited in the Alien Corpse City, and found that almost every moment it stayed next to a blood-red boulder that exuded energy very similar to the blood energy of the Blood Moon, and its strength increased very quickly when it was next to that boulder, I think this is the reason why it refuses to leave the Alien Corpse City, and it is also the reason why it can become the Alien Corpse King." Banyan Consciousness explained.
"And this kind of thing? How come you have never seen this information online? Number 4 is gathering all the information about the kind of stone that Banyan is talking about. After listening to the explanation of Banyan Consciousness, Wang Chen hurriedly asked Super Brain 4 for help.
If it is really as Banyan Tree said, the Alien Corpse King will not leave his lair, and Xu Cheng said that the Alien Corpse King cannot command the high-level alien corpse for the time being, so that there is still a glimmer of hope for survival in the Desert Green Boat Base, and Wang Chen vaguely feels that the stone is likely to be closely related to the formation of the Blue Star Apocalypse as the appearance of the Alien Beast Mountain Range.
"Information collection has been completed, and there are 1,562 blood-red stones collected, but all of them clearly do not match the information of the stone described by the banyan tree." Five minutes later, No. 4's characteristic neutral metal synthesized sound sounded in Wang Chen's mind.
Wang Chen didn't expect that even No. 4's ability to see the stone when collecting information meant that it was very likely that the Blue Star people didn't know about the existence of the stone until now, which made him even more convinced of his suspicions just now.
If he can get a sample of that kind of stone, he may be able to find a clue to the coming of the end times, but it's a pity that with his strength, he doesn't even dare to approach the hinterland of the alien corpse desert, let alone this kind of time when he doesn't even dare to come out of the base
When Wang Chen got down from the airship and joined Jiang Weiyong and his two siblings to walk on the streets of the Desert Green Boat Base, he could clearly feel that the originally peaceful atmosphere in the Desert Green Boat Base had disappeared, followed by restlessness and fear, and the pedestrians on the road did not speed up their pace.
Although the government ~ government of the base has not yet announced the news that the vanguard of the alien corpse is less than a hundred kilometers away from the base, as long as the two people know the secret, it is no longer a secret, and some rumors have begun to slowly spread in the base.
What's more, at this time, the base government ~ government has closed the city gates in four directions to prohibit access, and those guards who can only be seen near the city gate can now be seen everywhere on the streets, looking like they are facing a great enemy, which undoubtedly proves the authenticity of those rumors in disguise.
Shortly after they got off the airship, the government ~ government of the base announced on the Internet that the base was about to face the biggest crisis since its establishment, and also issued several decrees:
First, all evolutionaries must report to the designated location before 12 noon to assist in the defense of the city, and those who escape will be wanted, and if they are discovered, they will be directly executed; Second, those lawbreakers who dare to fish in troubled waters at this time will be severely punished, and once they commit illegal acts, they will be directly executed; Third, during the defense of the city, it will enter a state of war, and everyone in the base must unconditionally obey the orders of the base government ~ government, otherwise they will be directly executed.
If this kind of decree is estimated on the earth, no one dares to issue it except for the three fats, but it is a logical thing in the last days of the Blue Star, the conditions for the promulgation of this wartime emergency decree have been written in the constitution as early as the beginning of the establishment of the human base, and any human base can issue such a decree with the authorization of the giant base in an emergency, and all personnel in the base must obey unconditionally, otherwise they will be directly executed and will not find a place to reason. Of course, if the base government ~ government has committed illegal acts during this period, it will be recorded, and it will be held accountable by the superior base afterwards.
This is also the reason why Wang Chen was in such a hurry to leave after learning about the abnormal movement of the corpse, if he did not leave here, he had to unconditionally obey the orders of the base government ~ government, and that kind of involuntary situation made him really insecure.
Soon after the base government ~ government issued a decree, Wang Chen received an urgent requisition order on his watch, telling him to report near the gate of Xicheng, where the four brigades are located, before 12 o'clock at noon. Almost at the same time, Jiang Weiyong received the same requisition order on his watch.
In the face of such a strong base government~government, Wang Chen could only obediently act in accordance with the order of the requisition order, and followed Jiang Weiyong to hurry towards the gate of Xicheng, so as not to be caught by the base government~government as a chicken to set an example for monkeys.
When they arrived at the Xicheng City Gate, they found that the deterrent effect of this emergency requisition order was really not small, it was crowded with people and there was already a long queue, but the efficiency of the army was indeed very high, especially at this critical juncture, they were quickly assigned to work with the third team to help defend the 500-meter-long city wall on the Xicheng City Gate.
When they took the elevator to the city wall, they found that the city wall was full of busy figures, including engineers installing energy weapons, soldiers in advantageous positions, and civilians transporting ammunition, and almost everyone at the desert green boat base was dedicating their strength to the upcoming battle of life and death.
Although the third squad is said to be a squad, there are nearly a hundred people, this squad is the most elite squad in the Desert Green Boat Base, the team members are all second-order evolutionaries, and the captain is a mid-third-order evolutionary.
And Wang Chen was standing in front of Chen Dayu, the captain of the third squad, and said to him: "Second-order evolutionary Wang Chen was ordered to come to report, the superpower is the beast whisperer, and in addition, the long-range shooting ability is not weak, please assign the task." In order to fight for a certain freedom, he told the truth about his rank and ability, which would be exposed in the event of a battle anyway.
"You're an Beast Whisperer? This Earth Bear is your pet? And the long-range shooting ability is not weak either? Chen Dayu asked after glancing at Wang Chen.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Chen tried his best to make his performance closer to that of a soldier.
"Well, in that case, then you can follow a squad here as a mobile force to move freely in our team's defense area." Although Wang Chen's pretense was very lame, Chen Dayu was very satisfied with the attitude he showed.
"Yes!" After Wang Chen replied simply, he stepped aside and asked Jiang Weiyong behind him to complete the registration task.
Maybe it was because he could see that Jiang Weiyong and Wang Chen were friends, or maybe it was not easy for Jiang Weiyong to take a little girl, Chen Dayu also assigned Jiang Weiyong and Wang Chen together.
