Chapter 1228: The Hostility of the Gods
Entrance plaza to Prism City.
The roar of machinery is incessant, and a spotlight illuminates the ground as if it were daytime. The rescue work has been going on for nearly 16 hours, and the "town guard" is sinking into the water and is standing in a makeshift command center tent, waiting for the final message to arrive.
Some people say that his heart is like a stone and he will not be disturbed by emotions at any time, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Lan's sacrifice made him feel very sad, and even secretly blamed himself for why he didn't lead the team down himself, but he could tell the priorities of the matter even better, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be sad until the situation at the bottom of the city vertebrae was discovered.
After the attack on Evacuation Shaft 04, Shaft 01 and Shaft 05 also encountered demon detergents one after another, but fortunately, these people had learned from the past of the Lan team, and they wiped out all the attackers at a relatively small cost. However, the statistical results still made Rock feel powerless - everything was the same as what happened in Well 04, the enemy was all the lowest level of the association, and more than 320 corpses had been identified so far, which was close to the total number of people on duty that day.
By now, the total destruction of the lower layers is a predictable outcome.
He didn't know why these people had chosen to merge with the Fallen Core in just a few hours after the catastrophe - Prism City had a complete emergency system, even if the supply from above was interrupted, it would be enough to hold out for a while. They should know that the Guild will not give up on any of the trapped people easily, and as long as all the evacuation wells are not destroyed at the same time, it will not be long before they see the light of day.
But Rock didn't have the heart to guess what happened at that time, he just wanted to figure out what the current situation of the central containment vault was - even if all the people on duty had become demon-fallen, there were only about three hundred, but the core of the containment vault was as many as three thousand, which was several times more important than his life, and if it leaked out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mr. Rock," just then, a man in a suit walked into the makeshift command center and whispered a few words in his ear.
"So unlucky?" said Rock, frowning. According to the feedback from the search and rescue team, when the erosion suddenly expanded, there were two martial arts sightseeing teams from the Kagaard Peninsula in Prism City. The engulfment of the mid-section of the support caused structural damage to the city vertebrae, causing the entire floor slab closest to the erosion to slide into the flat cavity, and the two teams were near the collapse.
Judging from the current rescue situation, the fate of this group of people may not be optimistic.
"What should I do?" said the man in the suit with a difficult face, "There are also star martial artists of Kagaard in one of the teams, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will cause a diplomatic crisis." ”
"Search as much as we can, if we can save one person, what can we do with the others? ”
"But according to the short personality of the town over there, you may not necessarily appreciate it......"
Rock was silent for a moment, "I know, this matter will be hidden first, and I will ask His Excellency the President of Cloud City to coordinate." ”
The man in the suit had just left when a liaison officer suddenly shouted.
"There's new news from Well 01! They have opened the blocked part of the pipe, and they are entering the interior of the city vertebrae!"
"Connect the signal to the home screen. Rock said in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
After a flash of snowflake noise, an image from the front line appears on the main screen, presumably from the leader's head-mounted camera. The lighting under the city vertebrae is good, but the lights are a little flickering, obviously the emergency motor is still working, so it can be inferred that the elevator and other transportation devices must also be able to use normally, which can save a lot of time for the rescue work.
But no one in the command post cheered, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the abrupt "red spot" on the screen—its irregular outline, but perfectly embedded in the reinforced concrete, as if it were a deliberately asymmetrical work of art.
But the Rock knew it was no coincidence—everything that came into contact with erosion would be devoured without exception, even by the forces of nature.
It is it that turns Prism City into two parts that are separated from top to bottom.
"Leave the damage to the headquarters alone," he ordered, "go to the ground floor immediately, and I'll make sure the central containment vault is safe and sound." ”
The rescue team that received the instructions went all the way down, but there were no more enemies, but the rock also did not see many signs of fighting, and everywhere was quiet, and the furnishings remained in order, as if this was not the place of disaster, but was deliberately abandoned.
The moment the team arrived at the door of the containment vault, a gasp rang out from the makeshift command post.
Even the rock gritted his teeth uncontrollably.
I saw the body of another "town guard" Fuyan broken in two, his upper body glued to the steel door dozens of centimeters thick, and his clothes were almost burned to ashes. In the center of the steel door, a huge hole appeared, which, judging from the irregular edge, had been forcibly melted out by some kind of hot object.
I'm afraid that at that time, Fury Flame used himself as the last barrier to fend off the invaders, but even then, it was unable to prevent the enemy from entering the containment vault.
This is not something that a demon degrader can do.
After the team worked hard to open the door, the area where the Fallen Core was stored was empty.
There was a deathly silence in the command post, and everyone looked at the big screen, their eyes as if they had lost their lustre.
Really...... Rock clenched his fists with a clicking sound, and he knew that those in the lower echelons couldn't have accepted the Fallen Core for no reason!"Tune in - I want to see what kind of monsters these intruders really are!"
His thunderous voice exploded through the tent, waking everyone up. The timely switching of the emergency power supply did not affect the entire monitoring system too much, except for a few probes that were damaged, most of the data was well preserved. The technicians who entered the well quickly connected to the spare storage hardware, and the video data was continuously transmitted to the surface by the temporarily connected optical cable, and the high-level personnel in the command post also saw an extremely incredible scene.
As the erosion expanded, several sticky "blood" dripped, smashing into the floor below. After a few moments of writhing, the liquid-like things turned into human shapes, and one of them seemed to have the ability to melt everything, and in the blink of an eye, it burned through the floor and reached the bottom of the city spine. There is also a monster that is even more terrifying, almost a face can control the martial artist who follows the sound, turning it into a non-conscious doll, looking like a low-level demon deducer who has been seduced by the power of nature.
In less than half an hour, the entire lower layer collapsed, and the people who were still alive fused with the depraved core one by one and became puppets of the enemy. After "swallowing" the remaining core, those monsters melted a passage directly out of the containment vault and disappeared into the camera.
This is the first time the rock has seen such a way of using power, let alone an enemy born from erosion.
He couldn't help but think of the last time the Guild organized a joint extermination operation, the survivors' report mentioned the monsters that appeared in the "artificial erosion".
Seemingly...... The notion that erosion can devour all things needs to be changed.
At the same time, there may also be the fact that erosion does not distinguish between good and evil - as it stands, these monsters from within the erosion, which clearly do not belong to the Fallen Demon, are unabashedly hostile to humans.
However, Rock also knows that no matter how difficult the enemy is, as long as the martial artists work together, they can always find a way to fight it. The most important thing at the moment is to be inspiring, and if you are afraid of the enemy because they are too strong, it will be all over.
"Guys, as you can see, this is not a simple accident, but an invasion of the erosion that has launched against us!" he stood up and shouted at everyone, "It may sound counterintuitive, but the truth is right in front of our eyes - let me be clear, this is a war! They have a clear goal and are prepared to take over our world! I will immediately contact the martial arts associations everywhere and concentrate all my forces to help Prism City destroy the enemy!"
Speaking of this, he paused, "Just like my disciple Lan said, everyone, the battle of divine will has begun. ”
