Chapter 289: Timely Rescue
……
"Mom, I'm back~"
The crisp sound of children's voices came from the door, and in the kitchen, the young woman who was preparing dinner hurriedly put down the colander, wiped her hands casually, and walked quickly to the door wearing an apron and opened the electronic door.
As soon as the door opened, a boy in a jumpsuit rushed forward, jumped on both feet, and rushed into the young woman's arms, showing a big smile.
"I'm naughty again~ Don't do such a dangerous action in the future, what if my mother doesn't catch you?" The young woman patted the boy on the back lightly, her tone was strange, but her face was full of smiles.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the intricately designed structure of the house onto the young woman's back, setting off her back with extra tenderness.
The boy didn't answer, but grinned in the young woman's arms.
The young woman closed the electronic door, kept warm with her son for a while, then put him down, squatted down, looked into his eyes and said, "Hao Hao, mom still has to cook, you go play a game for a while, and when dad comes back, we'll have dinner, okay?" ”
"Good!" The boy obediently agreed, and then rushed into another room, opened the virtual network and played the game.
The young woman smiled at the boy's cheerful back, then stood up and went back into the kitchen to get busy.
The room fell silent for a moment, except for the constant sound of stir-frying food coming from the kitchen.
I don't know how long it was, but just as the young woman had fried two dishes and was about to serve them, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the room.
In a prominent position in the living room, a red lamp constantly shifts its light, and the shrill siren sounds like a loud one.
"Smack!"
The young woman's face froze. The plate he was holding fell to the ground. It shattered into several pieces. The oil and soup were splashed all over the floor, and even the young woman's trouser legs were stained with oil.
However, she didn't care about this at the moment, stepped over the mess on the ground, rushed to the next room, pulled off the network connector, picked up the child and ran out.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" The little boy was ignorantly held in the arms of the young woman. I was taken aback by the young woman's ugly face.
"Hao Hao, the devil is coming to arrest us, we have to pack up our things immediately and go to Dad. Do you want to know obediently? The young woman put down the child and quickly picked up the important things to pack, explaining as much as she could in words she could understand.
"Got it~" The little boy nodded obediently, then took out his favorite toy from the corner, held it in his hand, and looked at the young woman with blank eyes.
Although their family has some spare money, they can't afford to buy too good space equipment, and there is only a little more than square space in the space button. There's not much to hold at all.
However, look into the child's eyes. The young woman hesitated slightly, then put the toy into the space button, and then picked up the child and rushed out the door.
Before she could rush to the door, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the bedroom window, and when she looked back, she saw her husband standing on the plane and waving to her.
There was no time to be surprised or surprised, and the young woman almost subconsciously rushed to the window with the child in her arms. It wasn't just where she got the strength, she grabbed the metal shelf by the window and single-handedly smashed the specially strengthened crystal window to pieces.
In the past, with the strength of the young woman, it was impossible to do anything, but now, the anxious couple didn't care at all, and with the help of each other, the young woman and the child climbed the window frame and boarded the aircraft.
The small city aircraft is very small, and it can only carry two people, but fortunately, the child is still young, and it can be stuffed with a little squeeze. The man drove the aircraft through the city at high speed, below was the bottomless city sky, above was the sky covered with thick clouds, the rolling wind blew into the aircraft through the gaps, and the young woman in the passenger seat pursed her lips and hugged the child tightly, her thin body trembling.
"Don't worry, we'll get to the shelter in time." The man comforted the young woman in a calm voice, but the anxiety and uneasiness in the man's eyes were reflected on the window pane on the other side of the aircraft.
In the distant sky, a layer of even thicker darkness spread like clouds, and a sharp hiss sounded from his mind out of thin air, as if from the Nine Shadows, tickling the deepest fear in his heart.
The young woman's body trembled violently, and a hint of fear flashed across the man's face. Unfortunately, the speed of the aircraft did not increase in any way due to the fear of the two of them.
The little boy Hao Hao seemed to feel something, and obediently stayed in his mother's arms motionless, indescribably well-behaved and quiet.
Around the aircraft where the three of them were, from time to time, other aircraft merged into the traffic, faster or slower, but they were all heading in the same direction. There was the same dreomy and solemnity in each of the aircraft, and there was hardly any sound in the air except for the screeching of the clouds.
……
The heavy clouds were oppressive and silent, and a large mothership was entrenched in it, covered with a golden shield on the surface, like a golden beast, and in the brightly lit portholes on both sides, there was a faint noise, and it seemed that countless people were talking about it.
Small near-Earth vehicles broke through the heavy clouds in groups and flew into the landing port of the mothership. Through the bright lights, it seemed that you could see the people coming and going inside, each with more or less nervous faces, but barely calm. Occasionally, a crowd gathers together, discusses a few words, comforts each other, and shows a bit of order in the confusion.
Unlike the chaotic and noisy mothership, the command tower was gloomy at the moment, so quiet that it could be heard.
Unlike ordinary people who are blindly optimistic, the people who can appear in the control tower are all battle-hardened warriors, and no matter how bad they are, they have all seen the power of the silent creatures once or twice, so they naturally will not use this large mothership as a shelter. For them, this is just a slightly larger combat tool, and it does not give them enough security at all.
"Okay~ cheer up." The young man on the first seat suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the room, "Although the silent creatures are dangerous, but with the protection of the Holy Light Core sent by the elves, we will at least have the strength to fight, and we will not be completely passive." Let's get ready for war~"
"Yes." The young man in the main attacker position wiped his face and barely showed a smile, "At least you don't have to worry about being eroded from the inside by them as before." The possession ability of the silent creature is really disgusting~"
As he spoke, he subconsciously moved his hands, stared at the light screen in front of him, and slowly entered the battle state.
The others also seemed to be encouraged, and without the original silence, they slowly picked themselves up and entered the battle state one after another.
On the light screen, in the thick clouds in the distance, a black line spread like a tide, and the slow-flying aircraft was swept into it in an instant, and it disappeared completely without even a little wave.
"Not good! I seem to see the lord! The deputy attacker suddenly exclaimed, and the hand that was about to attack shook, almost violating the operation regulations.
"Shut up! Those people in the back are too late to save, so attack with all their might! The young man on the first seat had a serious and frightening face, and a ruthless aura suddenly burst out of his eyes. What the secondary attacker can see, he naturally sees it, but does he have any other options? No!
The bodies of the other people in the command tower trembled slightly, their faces tensed suddenly, and the movements in their hands that had been trained countless times did not hesitate at all, showing outstanding professionalism.
With their rapid movements, the large mothership trembled violently, like an awakened giant beast, and suddenly revealed its hideous true face. The black muzzles of the guns were wrapped with golden light, and the red energy torrent erupted like magma, rushing into the swept black tide in an instant, and began to entangle fiercely.
Several aircraft reacted half a beat slower, and were instantly submerged in the tide of red energy, like flies falling into flames, and were instantly burned to ashes.
This was the most effective attack they had come up with after countless bloody lessons—pure unadulterated flame energy. Although the actual attack effect is only half, it is much better than the effect of other energy on negative energy.
The raging flame energy filled the vicinity of the large mothership, forming a protective shell, and the only way for the Silent Creature to get close to the mothership was to break through the barrier of fire energy.
This is a very effective tactic in the past. Today, however, this set of tactics is being challenged like never before.
I saw that in the black tide, a black shadow seemed to ride the wind and waves and flew forward, and soon reached the forefront of the battlefield, revealing its true face - a black worm-like creature. The deep black as if solidified, extremely powerful, almost almost without the momentum of a silent creature daring to approach, all told the identity of this black worm, this is a dark lord.
The black worm only paused slightly, and its streamlined and soft body passed through the blockade of flame energy, leaving a deep black mark in the place it passed, like a bridge connecting the two ends, no matter how hard the flame energy tried, it could not be destroyed.
In the next moment, the giant black worm suddenly stopped moving, its abdomen swelled violently, its pointed head suddenly propped up like an umbrella, its abdomen swelled and closed, and countless small black dots fell like raindrops on the golden protective shield of the large mothership.
These little black dots were like miniature worms, wriggling and clinging to the shield, gnawing at the golden energy. In the process, black worms continue to disappear into white smoke, and black worms continue to replenish them, as if endless.
The golden shield began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Without more effective measures, it won't be long before the golden shield can no longer protect the people inside the large mothership, and the fate is almost predictable.
At this time, in the wormhole half a light-year away, a towering giant tree squeezed out of the wormhole like a living thing, and then the canopy was closed, and it hurriedly rushed here.
