Chapter XXXIII The Storm IV
For Sally, who only has second-order abilities, she doesn't know a few abilities above the fourth order, and in her simple, complex and clean mind, a person with a sixth-order or seventh-order ability is an existence that can destroy the world, and as for the higher, it makes no difference to her, anyway, it is unimaginable.
However, from the priest's words, she thought of another question, that is, since there are only five power domains, and there are seven apostles, what are the two more apostles?
Hearing this, the priest said earnestly: "It is true that there are only five domains of power, but the seven apostles are recorded in the book of Revelation and are the foreshadowings of God. I tried my best to understand only a little bit of the meaning and mission of the Sixth Apostle, so I carved its stone statue. But the Seventh Apostle, I still don't have a clue. I could only read the book of Revelation over and over again in the hope that one lucky night, God would be able to give me a little revelation. ”
"So, what is the sixth apostle......." Sally continued. She began to develop a strong interest in the subject.
The priest ......pondered for a long time before he finished his vocabulary and said, "It should be related to the other five apostles, but above all the apostles, and its function may be called the sword in the hand of the Lord." ”
Sally didn't seem to understand, she didn't have much interest in the book of Revelation, religion and politics were naturally a bit complicated for this NV child, but she was relatively interested in the economy. At the same time, Sally has a great aptitude for all kinds of techniques, including purely theoretical chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and the knowledge that can be used in wilderness development attracts her as much as honey does to a bear.
The priest shook his head and did not go into any further explanation. And at this moment, through the half-open window, Sally suddenly saw a large group of shining stars suddenly appear in the distant night sky, but they were moving rapidly. In the process of moving, many meteors fell from the constellation and spilled onto the earth.
"Father! Look, what's that! Sally cried. The constellations moved fast, and by the time the priest lowered the scroll and came to the window, they were gone. The priest saw only a few faintly falling meteors.
"What are they?" The constellations and meteor showers were beautiful, but the sight was cold and suffocating for Sally. She held her breath and turned to look at the priest, only to see the priest's face—which was also very ugly. After a while, seeing that there were no more stars in the deep night sky, the priest closed the window, let out a long sigh, and said, "Perhaps it is the outpost of the demons, and I don't know who released them from hell." Luckily, we were lucky not to be on their path. ”
The priest turned around, patted Sally on the head, and said, "All right, go and rest." Even if they are demons, they are not aimed at us. We are just ordinary people, and we need to live first. If a second factory is not built before winter arrives, there will not be enough food to survive the winter. ”
Speaking of the construction of the synthetic food factory and the settlement, Sally's body seemed to be full of strength again, and she nodded vigorously, ready to go back to rest. As for whether to rest or continue working after going back, I don't know. In Sally's plans, steam turbine power generation is a critical piece of equipment.
After leaving the Iǎ Church, Sally stopped, looked at the distant night sky, and suddenly thought: Is it really just because of luck that those demons avoided here?
No one answered Sally's question, but from a third-party perspective, Sally and the settlement were undoubtedly very lucky.
To the southwest of the Bloody Council, there are low mountains, river valleys, and plains, and the geographical environment and climatic conditions are very superior. On the top of the hill is a permanent military camp, which is the best vantage point in the vicinity, and the two heavy guns deployed can control an area of tens of kilometers. Dozens of fighters were stationed in the camp, reasonably equipped and with sufficient firepower. On the outer wall of the camp, the coat of arms of the winged Pegasus is painted.
This is the emblem of the Turingian family.
Turingroot is a long-standing surname, also inherited from old times, and retained a considerable number of family descendants after the outbreak of war. They are old-fashioned, conservative and tough, have a good traditional military force, and their family domains are also very rich, at least enough to feed a few thousand people. Of course, after taking into account the extravagant needs of the upper echelons of the family, the actual income of the leader is only enough to maintain the family size of about 1,000 people. This style made them unresponsive and neutral in the civil war, and as a result, they were not hit by either side of the jiā war. Mainly because the area they are in is too remote. Now that the civil war is over, it won't be long before the Thuringian family faces the same dilemma as before the war, that is, slow development. It's slow in every way, including technology and ability. All in all, it's a bone that doesn't matter much, so much so that all parties don't look at it well. But for the defeated soldiers and armed outcasts, the Thuringians are too powerful, and they are barely second-rate in terms of strength in the Bloody Council. Of course, if you only look at the population, it should be first-class.
After escaping the flames of the civil war, the Thuringian family was satisfied with the status quo, and even the ordinary soldiers stationed at the top of the mountain could not hide their pride. In their view, war kills people, and the most people who die in civil war are not necessarily ordinary soldiers, but capable people. Because all the battle regulations list the enemy's capable person as the first target. Therefore, the strength ranking of the Turinggen family, which was not affected by the war, will definitely rise accordingly. In the minds of these fighters, they may even touch a little bit of the side of the three giants.
It's just that they don't know, and even the old Turingen who is in charge of the Turingen family doesn't know that in the midst of fire and blood, a group of powerful people have risen in the Bloody Council, and if the overall strength of the people is concerned, it has even far exceeded the pre-war level. The current Turingen family has been completely squeezed out of the second-rate team, and perhaps the third-rate is in crisis.
Of course, ordinary warriors don't know this, for them, the days are dull and somewhat boring, and staring at a few roads leading from the bottom of the mountain to guò every day is all life. The dreary days have passed, and they even have a little longing for war, although no one wants to die in the war.
It was a dark morning, and the soldier at the lookout post lowered his binoculars and looked at his watch: it was already ten o'clock, but it was still as dark as dawn. The wind also began to get colder, and the cold was still a severe test for him with only first-order abilities, especially staying in the ten-meter-high guard tower and being blown by the cold wind.
Today should also be a boring day, just wait for the end of the standing guard at the time of the eight iǎ. Is there any program in the evening? Gamble some money, or ask for some exercise? To say that the current strength feels a little insufficient...... As the sentinel was thinking nonsense, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye!
He sat up straight and poked his head out of the guardrail to look out. In the distance, there was a gray patch in the sky, as if a cloud was rushing towards it. But the cloud was moving so fast that it didn't look like a cloud at all. If that's really a cloud, it's never a good thing. The clouds that move so fast are mostly followed by a terrible storm. That's also to call the police, and you must be prepared in advance. The sentry immediately grabbed the sniper rifle next to him and looked through the scope above to make one final confirmation. In the doji of the sniper scope, it was blurred at first, but after adjusting the focal length, it became clear, and then it became clear that it was not a cloud at all, but a large area of dense flying machines that did not know the number at all!
The sentry screamed, "Enemy attack!" Subconsciously pressed the orange-button that represents the highest alert level!
The terrible sirens immediately rang out in the sky, and the sentries woke up from their extreme panic when they heard the sirens, and secretly screamed terrible. The number of those flying machines alone constituted an unrivaled pressure, and it made him collapse in an instant, and only then did he instinctively sound the highest level of alarm.
The sentry put the binoculars in front of him again with a trembling hand, trying to confirm the information. However, what he saw in the footage was no longer a flying machine, but countless flashing points of light and flying miniature missiles, and the number of them made him collapse again!
Ten minutes later, the swarm of mechanical insects, numbering more than a million, continued to set off and flew south. Behind them, the Thuringian family officially became history, and in the traditional territory of the family, a total of 981 people died, all the buildings were blown up, and the orchards and farmland that were about to ripen were ablaze, and enough food for tens of thousands of people to survive the winter was burned. The explosion of the ordnance magazine left a ten-metre-deep crater in its place, and the oil depot turned into an unquenchable fire.
And, when the mechanical swarm passed, all medium and large creatures in the Turinggen family's territory were destroyed. 1 cubic decimeter is the standard for judging mechanical insect swarms, and all creatures above this volume are removed, leaving only those below the standard.
On this day, the same scene played out in many places. In one day, more than 100,000 people lost their lives, and in the places where they once lived, all traces of civilization were lost, leaving only the scorched earth left after the explosion. And as the worm advances, more lives will fall into the abyss of destruction.
Mechanical insect swarms have their own criteria for judging, and at the iǎ scale, they pay more attention to capturing abilities, especially high-level abilities. However, when the real million-level worms are formed, the chosen route is prioritized by the large number, which is one of the reasons why the Turingroot family is attacked first. When the number of mechanical bugs exceeds the critical line, it is no longer something that a single high-level ability can resist and destroy. Therefore, Fizdecker did not pay attention to the many dark spots on the map, and all he did now was a rough wash, and only after the surface of the continent had been cleaned up, and the human and other intelligent life forms had been wiped out.99 The next jīng wash was the next one. At that time, those iǎ bugs hiding in the dark spots will really find themselves just a bug, not a powerful person who can dominate a qiē.
As for the bloody council...... When he saw such a large yīn shadow, somehow, Fizdek also had a trace of yīn shadow in his heart.
But this is only a vague discomfort, and the storm will continue. A
