Chapter 39 Silent V

Looking at the busy clansmen, Oberen's eyebrows tightened, and he didn't look happy. It is certainly far from the heyday of the Arthurian family, with a population of only one-third of its original size. But compared to the other families, it is much better, William, who is also one of the three major families, has been completely wiped out, and less than ten people have survived.

But it wasn't just the people in his family who were worried, it wasn't long ago that a feeling of palpitations suddenly came. It's like a tsunami or a precursor to an imminent volcanic eruption. At that moment, Oberen's heart almost stopped beating, and he couldn't even make any other movements. If it weren't for the short-lived duration of the palpitations, Oberen even wondered if he would have died. At that time, it was not only Oberen, but also Elena and Persephone, and Persephone's reaction was even so strong that she almost fainted. When they recovered, they just glanced at each other and knew that something must have happened. Maybe it's a natural change, maybe it's a man-made disaster.

It was precisely because of this extremely bad feeling that Oberen immediately ordered the process of family relocation to be accelerated, everyone had to work overnight, and all the things that could not be dismantled or transported tonight were abandoned, and they set off immediately at dawn.

A cold night breeze blew, and Oberen coughed involuntarily, his pale face flushed, and his body twitched and spasmed. Elena held him up and gently patted him on the back with her hand, trying to ease his pain a little. Although she is a worthy master of the quasi-spell realm, she knows nothing about how to treat others. And Persephone's level of treatment far exceeds Elena's, but she is also helpless against Oberen's body. She had already examined Oberen's body, and knew that almost all the internal organs in her brother's body were rotting and dying. He had suffered so many injuries that his body could not bear them at all, and it was a miracle that he had survived until now. Standing there, Oberen was quiet and thin, with a bit of a poet's melancholy temperament, but he actually burned his body and life all the time, and in this way, relying on the blazing vitality, he was able to maintain the barely functioning of his body. But no one knows how long this state of affairs will last, maybe a few years, maybe only a few days.

Finally able to stop coughing, Oberene took Elena's hand, smiled apologetically at her, and looked up down the mountain. At the moment when his eyes moved, he suddenly saw a huge dark cloud rolling in the sky out of the corner of his eye! The clouds moved extremely quickly, and almost straight towards the Arthur family's territory. When you get closer, you can see that it's not a dark cloud at all, but an innumerable wave of mechanical bugs! The front, which is nearly 100 kilometers wide, clearly and unmistakably tells the people that this is a larger wave than the last one. In the last war, the Arthur family was able to support it until recently with well-developed defenses, adequate preparations, and a support network of many allied firepower strongholds. But now, the insect tide is almost ten times the size of the insect again, and there is no warning!

There was a dead silence in the territory, only the engines of the trucks were still roaring unconsciously, and people stood silently, looking at the sky. They did nothing, did not resist, did not flee, did not hide. A snow-bright searchlight illuminates the construction site as bright as day, and the shining lights can be seen from dozens of kilometers away. Everyone has lived through the last war and knows what it means to be overwhelmed with mechanical units. Any move is meaningless, even if only 1% of the combat unit lands, these hundreds of people can be stoned to death.

Oberen smiled bitterly and coughed violently, but did not attack. At this moment, unless there was a doomsday storm enhanced by the Spider Queen's power, he would never be able to defeat such a number of enemies, and he could only ensure his own survival. If the attack is useless, why bother to do it first? This is despair.

"Elena, if you have a chance, you and your sister will go first, and you will leave me alone." Oberen commanded.

"No!" Elena simply refused.

"Elena! You know my body ......," Oberion frowned and scolded. When he is angry now, he is already very majestic.

"No!"

Oberen coughed again, no longer insisting, but looking up at the night sky. At this time, the forward of the mechanical insect tide should have reached the maximum range, and according to the common sense of the past, it should be seen that the night sky began to light up www.biquge.info a little flash, which was a harbinger before the high-energy beam shot. However, the night sky was still dark, and the mechanical swarm of the forward force was soon within range of the miniature missiles, but still not a single missile was fired. They just flew in silence, as if they didn't even see the hundreds of people gathered below. When the forward blade insect swarm flew over the heads of a small group of people at a low altitude of less than 100 meters, finally a young man couldn't bear the invisible pressure, screamed, drew his automatic rifle, and shot wildly at the mechanical combat unit in the air! Strings of bullets flew into the night sky, hitting at least three mechanical units. However, by 100 meters in the air, the power of the automatic rifle had been greatly weakened, and only a string of sparks was fired into the mechanical unit, but it was not able to shoot down any of them. At the moment when the young man was out of control, some of the veteran soldiers around him had already noticed that something was wrong, but they still couldn't stop the young man who suddenly went crazy.

The attack finally triggered a reaction from the mechanical unit, and dozens of familiar lights lit up in the night sky, and then dozens of high-energy beams hit the young man with unmistakable accuracy, instantly turning him into a charred corpse. Hundreds of mechanical combat units came to a halt, circling slowly, while large groups of bugs rolled over them. The stopped mechanical unit high-energy beam emitter glows slightly, but is not fully charged.

The surviving people on the ground stood dumbfounded, not daring to move any longer, clenching their weapons in their hands, but not daring to raise their guns slightly. It was a dead silence, a dead stress. Thick sweat continued to roll down his forehead, but no one bothered to wipe it.

A low hum resounded in the sky, and countless mechanical units flew through the sky like a great river that would never end.

With a bang, a match was struck on the top of the mountain not far away, and the shining fire seemed to be very incongruous with the surrounding environment. Hundreds of mechanical units raised the alert level, aiming lit matches with the emitters of high-energy beams. But the match just lit a cigarette. Oberen took a deep breath and coughed violently, his body bent down.

When the cough subsided slightly, he straightened up, looked at the huge wave of mechanical insects that were gradually moving away, and asked, "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Persephone pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the Southern Continent." ”

"I think so too. However, what important targets on the Southern Continent would warrant a swarm of this size? I have a gut feeling that the target may be someone I know very well. Oberen said slowly.

Persephone frowned, then sighed. The two siblings are in the same vein, and they are actually common in many places. Her occult realm is more advanced, and her premonitions and intuitions are stronger. The moment she saw the insect tide, she already felt something. And the more you think about it, the stronger the hunch becomes. This is a premonition for no reason. Inexplicability is a characteristic exclusive to the occult, and the biggest difference from the ability to perceive the 'foreknowledge'.

A cigarette was soon lit to the end, and Oberen took a deep breath against the cold night breeze and said, "Sister, have you ever thought carefully about what kind of person Sue is?" Or rather, what is he? ”

Persephone's eyebrows were raised, and then gradually flattened, and she said lightly, "He's Sue." ”

Oberen nodded, but did not speak. The wave of mechanical bugs has long since passed, but the people of the Arthur family are still nervous and breathless, still standing like statues, still unable to believe that a devastating catastrophe has just passed them. Looking at the frightened clansmen, Oberen shook his head again.

When tens of millions of combat units come together, it can only be described as a mechanical frenzy. They crossed continents, crossed oceans, and finally reached the southern continent. As the swarm striker flew over the Southern Continent, the sealed order was immediately issued from the central Star Wars-class mothership, and all the mechanical units were changed to 'clean' mode.

Countless points of light appeared in the night sky, and the next moment tens of thousands of high-energy beams shot into the dense rainforest. Not only did they shoot a large number of large mutated creatures in an instant, but their characteristic heat also caused fires. A wave of miniature missiles exploded over the rainforest, ejecting large expammable gases and then burning violently. The heat evaporates the water in the rainforest and breaks it down, causing the flames to burn even harder. The weapons carried by these mechanical units were completely developed for the characteristics of the southern continent.

In the blink of an eye, a raging line of fire ignited from the coastline and burned southward. The wave of mechanical bugs did not stop at all, but began to spread, heading deep into the hinterland of the continent. Wherever they go, there will be a sea of fire.

In a pile of originally wet and soft soil, a mushroom suddenly swayed violently, the tip cracked, and an eyeball appeared! It looked into the night sky, and the depths of its pupils immediately reflected the sight of countless mechanical combat units circling and flying. The mushroom's eyes closed again, and then exploded, using the energy generated by the explosion to transmit the information containing the image into the distance. The anomalous pulse of energy immediately caught the attention of the mechanical unit, and several beams of energy scorched the land. But the mushrooms had long since been shattered, and the beams were just a futile drain of energy.

All of a sudden, in various places in the southern continent, there were mushrooms, fruits, leaves, and mosses, and everywhere they opened their eyes, and then transmitted the collected images. They are all one-time intelligence-gathering units, but they cleverly grow with the help of life forms, hiding from all mechanical units. Judging from those dense message beams, the Southern Continent is almost everywhere with this kind of eyes and ears. All the information passes through complex and hidden nodes, and finally converges on the main brain deep underground. The so-called nodes, like the eyes that collect information, are also made up of large or small, strange or ordinary creatures. Among them are both plants and animals.

At this moment, an illusory and three-dimensional image has been sketched on the surface of the underground lake: in the endless night sky, a tidal wave of mechanical combat units is pouring in from the sea, and everywhere it goes, there are blazing fires. Neither humans nor other mutated creatures could survive such a dense attack. In just ten minutes, looking down from the sky, you will see a line of fire slowly moving towards the depths of the continent. The fire burned so violently that it burned out the surrounding combustibles in a short time. So behind the line of fire ahead, there was an empty dead scorched earth, not even half a spark.

Cleaning, cleaning again, and a more thorough cleaning than the Northern Continent. Insects and small creatures such as rats survive the cleansing of the northern continent, but the cleaning of the southern continent uses more burning methods. Wherever the line of fire passed, there was not much organic matter left, and except for a handful of insect creatures that could hide deep underground, no creatures survived.

On the beautiful and fertile southern continent, a dark spot began to grow from the northern seashore, and it expanded rapidly.

The wind suddenly became stronger, the radiation clouds rolled violently, and the waves on the sea crashed to a height of more than ten meters. This is the wrath of the world, and those strong people with keen perception almost heard a faint roar from outside the sky!

The night in the northern continent was also dark, the wind was equally wild, and heavy rain began to fall in the sky. The bean-sized raindrops fell in a flutter among the large snowflakes, and soon after they landed, they turned into ice in the bitter cold. It was extremely bad weather and no one wanted to go out at this time. However, in the dead wilderness, there is a lonely figure staggering. He was dressed in a black priest's robe, carrying an old suitcase in his hand, holding an old-fashioned umbrella that might fall apart at any time, and walking deep and shallow in the cold wind and rain. The umbrella was almost useless, the rain had already soaked his whole body, and the cold made him shiver. At his feet, the inconspicuous little dog was still running along, its hair had long since become sticky wisps, and the rain was flowing down the strands to the ground.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and even continuous thunder began to appear. Lightning runs through the heavens and the earth, connecting the wilderness and the sky.

"Xiaobai, do you feel cold?" In the midst of the wind and rain, the priest's voice remained steady.

The puppy at his feet jumped up and barked hard.

The priest smiled, and a strong crosswind blew through his face, carrying rain on his face. He stretched out his hand to wipe the rain from his face, looked into the distance, and asked, "Xiaobai, are you afraid?" ”

The puppy barked even louder.

"Just don't be afraid!" The priest smiled. He stopped, raised his head slightly, and stared at the distant sky. At the end of the line of sight, the radiant cloud suddenly parted, and a slender Valhalla slid out of it. The entire body of the starship shines with blue-white light, mysterious and magnificent.

It's just that Valhalla suddenly made a sudden stop, and the drastic change of attitude even made its hull tremble significantly! In the central control room, Rochester looked ahead in amazement. The figure of the priest is restored and magnified in the central control room at all.

"How is he?!" For the first time, Rochester's voice trembled slightly. ~~~~
