Chapter 2: The Light
Before Mu Mu could finish speaking, a strong white light interrupted his order. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info It's not an ordinary light, but a light with powerful ghostly energy that is specifically aimed at zombies.
Mu Mu endured the discomfort caused by the white light and raised his eyes. I saw that directly above the golden city, a huge cross emitting white light was slowly falling from the height of the zenith. The cross was very huge, and Mu Mu visually measured that its length and width were about the same as the golden city located below, and it was there that the white light that made all the zombies feel burning pain came from.
The shape of the cross is full of ancient religious atmosphere, and Mu Mu immediately recognized its origin.
The cross was originally a totem and ritual prop commonly used in Western human religion before the end of the world. After the end times, the desperate and oppressive environment gave the soil for the development of various religions. Not only did the old religions flourish, but many new religions also emerged, many of which followed the cross.
Since the end of the world, Mu Mu felt that he had seen too many incredible things, and he himself had stood at the top of this world, but this huge cross, which was like a flying city, was still beyond his imagination.
Although he had never seen it, his instinct told him that such an astonishing thing, suddenly appearing here without warning, must have some intention, and it was very dangerous.
The cross is constantly descending from the sky, seemingly slowly, but in fact it is only an illusion created by the distance and its enormous size. In fact, it is extremely fast, as evidenced by the reddish-hot flame of light that rubs against the air as it passes through the clouds. The light and flames reflected the clouds in a fiery red, as if the whole sky had been set on fire.
This scene is almost like the Judgment Day in the Bible, and many of the human survivors of the Golden City have already knelt down to this "miracle" and began to pray sincerely.
Although Mu Mu felt strange, he didn't even know what this cross was, so where could he deal with it for a while? Except for ordering the zombie army to be vigilant, he couldn't do anything else.
After passing through the clouds, the cross began to slow down and eventually hovered a few kilometers above the golden city. Because the cross was originally extremely fast, the process of decelerating did not take much time.
At this height, the cross almost blocked half of the sky above the golden city, but because the cross itself was glowing, the light in the city was brighter than before.
Humans and zombies on the ground all looked up and stared blankly at the huge floating cross that radiated a holy silver light all over their bodies.
The cross didn't keep the audience waiting long, and after a few minutes, the silver waves emitted from the cross moved a few times like a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake, and then hundreds of thick beams of light with a diameter of more than ten meters shot out from all over below it.
"Ahh
The pillars of light all fell in the sea of corpses below, and the zombies shrouded in the back light burned violently in an instant, letting out a terrible wail.
The pillar of light didn't stop for a moment, and then began to slowly move and strafe across the ground. Constantly enveloping the dense zombies and burning them into a ball of flames.
Mu Mu's red eyes, which seemed to be stagnant water, instantly lit up, which was a sign that he was fully mobilizing his spiritual power.
It's a trap!
Although I don't know who the other party is and how to do it, this is obviously a trap for the zombie army. The other party's purpose is probably to annihilate them, the most elite zombie force in the whole continent, here.
Mu Mu and the zombie leaders behind him realized this almost immediately. They immediately took action, maximizing their spiritual power, and commanding their zombies to disperse and dodge the strafing of the pillar of light.
Different from the previous good and well-organized command. This time, neither Mu Mu nor the Commanders used human language anymore, but instead used the much more efficient undead language.
Although the word "yu" is used in the language of the dead, it is actually completely different from the human language system that vibrates through the vocal cords.
Strictly speaking, the language of the dead is not a language at all, but a telepathy. Zombies are unable to use human language due to damage to their sensory organs and vocal cords to varying degrees.
However, the zombies' innate strong spiritual power made them quickly awaken to the ability to observe the outside world and communicate with their own kind.
In the immediate aftermath of the apocalypse, most of the surviving humans mistakenly believed that zombies, who had lost their sight, relied on their sense of smell and hearing to find prey. They quickly paid the price for this misconception - they became food for the zombies or one of them.
After paying the price of countless blood, humans finally figured out that zombies did not use the five senses that humans had to perceive the outside world, but through the sixth sense, which is commonly known as telepathy. In addition, the zombies also communicate with their surroundings in the same way.
Thanks to this unique method of communication, communication between zombies is much easier and faster than that of humans. However, due to the limitation of mental power, only the leader zombies with strong mental power can communicate with a large number of zombies at the same time.
And these zombie leaders who have mastered the "right to speak" have naturally become the superstructure of zombie society.
In short, now in the face of the death threat of an unknown giant cross in the sky, the zombie leaders on the hill mobilized their maximum spiritual power and commanded the zombies to avoid it as much as possible.
Every zombie commander, including Mu Mu, didn't care about the exhaustion caused by the overdraft of mental power, and just urged his own potential again and again in vain to command, hoping to save more of his subordinates.
Except for the female zombie commander who had previously called for war.
It's not that she is too cold-blooded and sits back and watches her kind of people being slaughtered, nor is it that she has two hearts and wants to betray Mu Mu. That's because she's the only one among the zombie commanders who isn't known for her mental power, and there's only one area she's good at - combat.
In this time of crisis, there was only one thing she could do, and she did it immediately.
"Dark Angel!
The female leader commanded her subordinates in the language of the dead, and randomly rushed towards the cross in the sky.
More than a hundred figures rose from the rear, following the female commander and flying towards the cross at full speed without hesitation.
That's right, it's flying, it's flying at breakneck speed.
Since the advent of the energy tide, human beings have studied the strange energy (ghost energy) that suddenly appears, and many results have been achieved. With the advent of the end times, various studies have focused more on the military direction.
Among them, a very important practical achievement is the one-man atmospheric ghost energy flight vehicle.
Mumu, who unified the entire continent, naturally obtained this technology and used it to arm his most powerful force, the Dark Angel Warband. The captain is the strongest zombie warrior besides Mu Mu herself, that is, the female leader, and she has a name that is very inconsistent with the truth - Ugly Eight Monsters.
The Ugly Eight was one of Mumu's earliest subordinates, because when she first met her, she lost a lot of her body. Not only is there almost no white bone left in one leg, but more than half of the skin and flesh on the face has been lost, and there is no good meat on the body, which is really ugly and terrifying.
But I didn't expect that after evolution, reshaping the body would have the beauty of turning all beings upside down like now.
Looking at the dark angels rising into the air, Mu Mu gave up his futile command of the ground forces, jumped up, and chased his most elite warriors towards the giant cross in the sky.
For the sake of today's plan, blindly avoiding it will only delay the defeat time slightly. Only by entering the cross and destroying their powerful beam weapons can the situation of zombies being slaughtered be changed.
Thanks to the ghost-powered power, there is no need to carry fuel. The Dark Angel can not only wear equipment with him and take off and land at any time, but also has the super mobility ability of a flying swallow. And the zombie's strong body takes this flying vehicle to the extreme. Whether it's a large overload maneuver or an instantaneous acceleration to break through the sound barrier, these actions that humans can't withstand are a piece of cake for zombies.
After liftoff, the dark angels all used their maximum power to accelerate, and with a burst of roar, the nearby airspace was like the surface of the water that had been thrown countless stones, and countless ripples appeared out of thin air. This is the trace left in the air after the aircraft breaks through the sound barrier.
The cross, who was wantonly slaughtering zombies on the ground, quickly sensed the high-speed approach of the dark angels. The pillar of light that was sweeping towards the ground lifted up into the sky and swept towards the flying dark angels.
But the dark angels immediately evaded at high speed, and this kind of ground attack was like a cannon hitting mosquitoes when dealing with the flexible dark angels, which seemed to be huge, but it did not achieve even a single result at all.
While the dark angels slightly adjusted their flight trajectory to avoid the illumination of the beam, they still pounced at high speed towards the glowing cross suspended in the sky, and the distance of more than ten kilometers was almost in the blink of an eye. At this time, Mu Mu had already caught up with the flying team that had set off first, and flew in front of the team with the ugly eight monsters.
Through the white halo emitted by the cross, Mu Mu could already see the details on the huge cross. The cross is not visible from the surface of what material it is, it looks like gold and stone, not gold and not stone. The huge surface is covered with regular geometric stripes, with a certain mysterious mechanical beauty.
Obviously, most of this thing is not a natural occurrence, but the result of some kind of industrial civilization. Is it a new weapon for mankind? But human beings have been exhausted by zombies, so why didn't they use such weapons before?
Mu Mu was puzzled as he accelerated and swept forward.
Guy who pretends to be a god!
It doesn't matter what you are!
I'm going to uncover your true colors, too!
It's close.
Mu Mu noticed that the huge pillars of light that were slaughtering the ground were emitted by some kind of device protruding from the surface of the cross.
As the distance closer, Mu Mu saw more details of this device, and he was sure that it was some kind of advanced weapon that far surpassed the current human and zombie technology.
He spotted a beam generator that was strafing into the air, and sped away, trying to test his idea up close.
During the flight, Mu Mu kept doing orbit maneuvers. Although this clumsy beam of light could hardly pose a threat to the nimble Dark Angel, in the face of an unknown and powerful enemy, Mu Mu's cautious personality still allowed him to maneuver as much as possible to prevent possible blows.
Sure enough, when the distance was about two kilometers closer, countless pentagonal windows suddenly appeared on the surface of the cross, and it looked as if it had turned into a huge beehive. At each window, a multi-tube metal device quickly poked out.
"Anti-aircraft guns!"
Although he had never seen it before, Mumu immediately realized the effect of such a device and immediately issued a warning to all the dark angels in the undead language.
Almost at the same time as Mu Mu issued the warning, the dense anti-aircraft artillery array on the cross surface opened fire at the same time, and the dense orange barrage was like a wall of light, crushing towards the dark angels.
Mu Mu is like a wolf bird in a storm, passing through the dense rain curtain, and may be smashed from the air by heavy raindrops at any time. Mu Mu felt a sense of powerlessness that he had not felt in a long time, and this feeling of being completely unable to grasp his fate made him tremble. But the strong will to survive quickly cheered Mu Mu up. He concentrated with all his might, mobilizing all his senses to desperately dodge the dense rain of bullets.
Finally, Mu Mu's eyes lit up, and he finally passed through the thick barrage of anti-aircraft fire.
Of course, this does not mean that he is safe, but compared to the barrage that covers the sky and the sun, the chances of survival are much greater.
I wonder what happened to the other dark angels? Did you make it through the barrage?
Mu Mu unconsciously looked to the side, and the corner of his eye immediately caught the beautiful figure, and his inexplicable heart finally let go.
That's great!
It's okay to be ugly!
"Follow me! Stay mobile! Stay out of anti-aircraft fire!"
Mu Mu, who was relieved, accelerated forward while continuing to command the surviving dark angels in the undead language.
The dense barrage caused huge damage to the dark angels, and in Mu Mu's induction, less than half of his subordinates passed through the barrage. The strongest warrior that Mu Mu worked so hard to manage, he didn't even see the face of the enemy, so he lost most of it in such an unknown way.
"Die!"
Mu Mu roared unwillingly, and at the same time, the portable 30mm twin-mounted ghost cannon equipped on his arm spewed vengeful anger at the nearest anti-aircraft battery.
The same sound of fire came from the side, and Mu Mu didn't have to turn his head to know that it was an "ugly monster". It seems that she has flown to Mu Mu's side and formed a two-plane formation with him.
Although this portable small-caliber ghost cannon is not as powerful as the giant magic cannon at the head of Jincheng City, it is not the same as the armor-piercing ability and lethality compared to the chemical energy weapons before the end of the world.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
The cannonball didn't hit the target as expected, although as the most powerful zombie warriors, Mu Mu and the Ugly Eight were quite accurate in their shots, and the giant cross didn't move half a minute.
The shell exploded on its own a few tens of meters away from the target, and the ghost energy explosion emitted a dazzling blue light, like four huge fireworks.
"Shield! This thing has a shield!"
After being stunned for a second, Mu Mu reacted to what was happening and immediately shared this information with the entire Dark Angel team.
"Let's rush forward!
After the tide of energy falls, shields are nothing unusual. After reaching a certain level of spiritual power, the supernatural can use a protective shield to protect themselves.
Although Mu Mu had never seen such a protective shield that could wrap the entire floating city, the principle should be the same. And its energy consumption is definitely greater than that condensed by the Ability, and it is not too much to say that it is the difference between a lamp and a star.
As the most powerful ability in the continent, Mu Mu's use of the protective shield is naturally perfect, and he is even more familiar with the characteristics of the protective shield.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the strength of a thing is actually where its flaws lie, and the protective shield also conforms to this law.
The shield is a very practical ability to withstand almost all attacks. Correspondingly, however, the use of protective covers is very energy-intensive. If you go all out to fully protect yourself - that is, a shield against all attacks, it won't be long before the user loses the ability to fight due to the depletion of spiritual power.
Therefore, when an experienced person is fighting, he will unfold the corresponding protective shield according to the enemy's fighting style to save spiritual power. Only inexperienced novices will use full protection.
Mu Mu is now betting that the opponent's protective shield is only in the mode of protecting high-speed physical ammunition, and it can't block a "low-speed" flying target like the Dark Angel.
He had to make a bet, and if he lost, he would be smashed to pieces on the shield. If you don't gamble, under such a dense rain of bullets from the other side, it will be a matter of time before you are shot down, and the difference is only the length of time you support.
"Whoosh!"
Bet won!
Mu Mu passed through the other party's shield without hindrance, and the ugly monster followed without hesitation. The two-plane formation crossed a graceful arc and swooped straight towards an anti-aircraft battery.
The battery chased them in vain and turned the muzzle, but it never managed to get them into the aiming line.
"Bang bang!"
Mu Mu opened fire again.
"Boom!"
The anti-aircraft battery was torn to shreds by ghostly shells fired at close range by Mu Mu, and a large hole was carved into its original position for people to enter.
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, Mu Mu burrowed into the interior of the giant cross from the hole, and the ugly monster followed closely behind.
