At the awkward opening on the south side of the Lost Valley, a truck sped by.

Glancing at the mountain peaks stacked outside the window, Siss, who was leaning on the driver's seat, finally breathed a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the front.

At this point, the power of the nuclear bomb has been weakened by at least half.

"There's one last step left."

With a silent thought in her mind, she slammed the electric door hard, knocked away a few gnawers wandering to the side of the road, and continued along the path dug by the legion, heading straight for the center of the Lost Valley.

She and Flesh loaded the nuclear bomb onto a truck and drove to Lost Valley alone.

When the group touched into the valley before, they had confirmed that there was a huge pit hundreds of meters wide and bottomless in the center of the Lost Valley.

Like a pit left by a quarry.

Some kind of terrifying weapon directly collapsed the geological structure of the area, and caused the rock veins to bulge and upturn several kilometers away, and the battlefield of the last era should be beneath the tunnel.

In order to explore the interior of the tunnel and transport the excavated earthworks at the same time, the legion dug a circular dirt road along the funnel-shaped slope, just enough for two vehicles to pass in parallel.

Descending the dirt road, approaching the very center of the tunnel, a jeep broke down on the side of the road suddenly appeared in front of Siss.

Before she could be surprised why there was a car here, two heads quickly popped out of the back of the jeep, and then a pistol and a submachine gun were pointed at her.

"Don't move!"

"Stop the car! Hold your head in your hands! ”

The faces of the two were full of nervousness and jealousy, and it was obvious that they were officers of the legion, and they were not low in status.

Sisi stepped on the brakes and stopped, but he didn't listen to the request of the two, and he didn't even get out of the car, just smiled faintly and put his arm on the window and quipped.

"Guess what's in my car?"

It was almost enough to be sent to this position, and there was no need to throw it in the center, so she didn't panic at all, and looked at the two in front of her with interest.

Seeing that this person didn't put his gun in his eyes at all, and still had a calm expression, McClan couldn't help but be stunned and asked subconsciously.

“.····· What's in it? ”

Sisi didn't talk nonsense, pushed the car door and got out of the car.

Ignoring the two guns, he walked straight to the back of the truck and pulled the nuclear bomb off the car with a whoosh.

The gray-black nuclear warhead was also surrounded by an aluminum alloy bracket, and the fracture looked like it had been pulled straight from the plane.

The moment they saw this nuclear bomb, the faces of General McClen and the officer next to him instantly turned pale.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two, Si Si breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. This thing does have a self-destruct mechanism to prevent it from being captured by the enemy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to run into this dead end, and they wouldn't have been scared to death when they saw it.

McClen's lips quivered, and he looked at her. "You····· Crazy? ”

"Crazy? Why, I saved at least 10,000 people just now, okay? Sisi rolled his eyes, looked at the officer in front of him and continued, "By the way, I found a numeric keypad on the nuclear bomb, which should be used to enter passwords, do you know the password?" ”

McLaan said in a difficult voice. “······ Only the pilot knows. ”

"That's a pity, he's dead." Sisi shrugged his shoulders and continued, "By the way, the battle outside is over, will you surrender?" ”

Glancing at the nuclear warhead on the ground, McLaan said with a wry smile.

"Does it still make sense?"

"I don't know, give it a try," Sisi shrugged, "but if you continue to delay, you will definitely not have a chance to live." ”

Looking at the indifferent expression on his face, McLaren gritted his teeth, and finally did not muster up the courage to face death.

He didn't know why this guy in front of him wasn't afraid of death. But if he can continue to live, he doesn't want to die.

Lowering the gun in his hand, McClan whispered.

"Please take me out of here..."

Although the word surrender was not uttered in the end, the gloomy expression had obviously given up resistance.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Si Si returned to the driver's seat and expertly started the truck.

"Get in the car."

On the other side, somewhere in the valley.

Looking at the tentacles that were getting closer and closer, Luo Yu was extremely nervous.

Standing not far behind him, the white dove smiled lightly and said with a pleasant face.

"Don't be afraid, it won't eat you, it's just that it hasn't seen a living person in so many years, and it's a little curious."

Curious about what? Taste or texture?

After hearing this explanation, Luo Yu became even more nervous, and couldn't help but take a step back, avoiding the tentacles that quietly stretched out to his head.

"It... What is the situation? Is it symbiosis?"

"Not really, it's maternal." "Mother?!"

Looking at Luo Yu, who was dumbfounded, the man with his head like a piece of rotten wood continued in a gentle tone.

"That's right, but you don't have to be so afraid, even people are divided into good and bad people, and the mutant slime mold, as a 'social animal' that has evolved from the social division of labor, can of course also exist in the concepts of good and bad. ”

"Of course, this is just for your understanding. To put it more bluntly, the dry environment of the desert makes it difficult for slime molds to live here, and they don't have enough nutrients to breed huge broods that breed powerful evolutionary organisms to help the population hunt, and there are no organisms around them to hunt. As a result, some varieties of slime molds have evolved special abilities over a long period of time. ”

Luo Yu swallowed. “.·..·· Is it symbiotic? The white dove nodded happily. Yes. Luo Yu thought of Bucky.

The man wrapped in a tin can like a medieval knight.

He had the pleasure of seeing the guy take off his armor, almost all of his body was occupied, and the slime mushrooms only left him with a brain that could not be used for a long time.

According to Hea, if it weren't for special drugs, the guy could have turned into a slime puppet at any time.

That should be considered parasitism? Luo Yu asked nervously.

"I don't understand the difference between symbiosis and parasitism?"

The white dove replied in a pleasant voice.

"Of course there is a difference, one is non-aggressive and one is aggressive. One is to prosper with the host, and the other is to squeeze out the last bit of nutrients from the host and continue to squeeze another host. ”

"The slime molds that evolved from the Oasis 7 site belong to the former, which can make you immune to all diseases, immortal, gain a strong body and abilities, and do not need to abandon your genes, which is much safer than awakening."

"And as a symbiote, it does not sacrifice the health of the host, but draws trace elements, organic matter, and water from the host's metabolites. You can think of it as a special kind of ······ Vaccine! As long as you inoculate it, you will be able to obtain a more powerful flesh! ”

"How? Guy, do you want to give it a try? ”

The voice of persuasion sounded like a demonic whisper, and once agreed, it would sign a pact with some "evil force".

Luo Yu admitted.

If you can turn into a tentacle monster, it sounds really attractive.

Operate the plane with two hands, how can there be ten hands to operate the aircraft?!

But if it's combined with tentacle monsters, that's a different story.

And this guy himself has become this ghost, Luo Yu always feels that what he said is not convincing at all. If the price of becoming stronger is to become ugly, then he would rather level up honestly.

Still, out of curiosity, he asked. "At what cost?"

The white dove smiled and continued. "The price is—" The voice did not fall.

Xiaohong suddenly looked around uneasily, but before it could react, the tremor of the earth shaking came from the feet of the "people".

The white dove's face changed wildly.

However, before he could open his mouth and spit out a syllable, he was ablaze

The sand and rubble poured out of the ruins in an instant.

At the same time, another world.

Luo Yu, who was lying flat on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of you, you will see a pop-up window that disconnects.

The countdown of the resurrection CD has begun, and the game characters are clearly cool.

He took off the helmet that covered his head, and sat on the bed for a long time before he burst into a foul mouth.

"I'm blanching!"

What is the price?!

The nuclear bomb exploded after all.

And shortly after it was removed from the truck and pushed down a steep slope.

A light lit up in the silent valley.

The scorching fire was like the morning sun rising from the horizon twelve hours earlier, and in an instant the night sky that enveloped the valley lit up.

The violent air currents and shock waves crashed against the mountains that buried the river embankment, and even the earth shook in the terrifying energy.

In the barracks beyond the valley.

The soldiers and officers of the legion had already given up resistance and surrendered with their hands raised above their heads. When they saw that blooming light, almost all of them had despair printed on their faces.

The horses galloping in the barracks paced restlessly, and the horsemen on horseback held the reins, trying to stabilize the horse's mood.

The captain of Theon's guard looked at the Valley of Lost in amazement

The light lit up, his eyes flickered with dazed and frightened, and his mouth kept muttering to himself.

“.·.··· Prophecy! ”

That man was indeed a messenger of the gods! The prophecy of the end times has been fulfilled!

But it is consoling to know that the light that burned everything did not shine on the soil of civilization, but in the lost ruins.

At the same time, the Western Front of the battlefield.

As the blinding white light lit up, the sound of gunfire that resounded through the wilderness also came to an abrupt end.

Looking at the sky lit up by the nuclear bomb and the dust that almost rushed into the sky, people forgot about the battle for a while, and their expressions of surprise and surprise were imprinted on their faces.

It's as if the world has hit the pause button.

All that remained was the shaking of the earth and the echo of the rolling explosions.

It's like the roar of a god.

“······ The spirit of the sea of sand is above. ”

A Falcon Warrior's lips were white, his shoulders trembled, and his gun slipped down the sand along with his knees.

His situation is not unique.

When the Commander of the Tenth and other rank-and-file officers saw the light of a nuclear explosion blooming in the rear positions, many of them lost the courage to continue fighting.

Hundreds of meters away. Underneath the reverse slope of the dunes.

Sain, who was bandaging the gunshot wound, also saw the shining light.

Several of the guards immediately stood in front of him, but he waved his hand and dispersed.

"The priest of Prest said that he who withers in a curse cannot see the curse." Sean smiled heartily

Continued,

"We can see that light, which means we can't die."

"That's a curse on the guilty, and the gods are on our side!"

He raised his arms and shouted, encouraging the soldiers who fought side by side.

"Long live the Hump Kingdom!"

The sudden nuclear explosion brought the battlefield to a momentary pause.

Facing the direction of the light of the nuclear explosion, the devout believers fell to their knees and prayed, while the rest were lying on their stomachs or crouching at a loss, undecided, unable to decide whether to continue fighting.

The shock wave of the explosion seemed to sweep far away, but fortunately it did not blow to them.

Once again, the bounty of the "gods" seems to have sheltered them······

The other side.

The tank units of the Skeleton Corps did not stop after reaching the airfield on the north side of the Lost Valley, and continued to advance westward to reinforce the friendly forces of the fortress of Petra who were out of the city to meet them.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the whole battle, and it can even be announced that it has entered the link of cleaning up the battlefield.

The military camp on the north side of the Lost Valley had been taken by Petra's cavalry, and the legions had lost almost all of their armor in the area.

There were no more reinforcements for the remaining infantry to the west.

It only takes a few righteous 155s, enough for them to raise their hands and surrender.

And just when the light of that nuclear explosion bloomed, one

A Conquistador-5 tank under the Union flag was staggering to the east of the airfield.

The hatch lid lifts upwards.

The mole with its head wrapped around its bandage poked its head out and looked in the direction of Lost Valley, its mouth wide open in surprise.

“.····· the groove. ”

Hearing the fuss, the driver of the car shouted.

"What's going on out there? I can't see it here!

"Nuclear bomb..." The mole swallowed and added later, "Mom, that nuclear bomb seems to have exploded!"

If you don't count the small one in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, this is the first time he has experienced a nuclear explosion up close.

The overwhelming coercion was no small felt, but the power of the explosion seemed to be smaller than he had imagined.

Is this thing really a million tons?

Or is it because of the explosion in the valley, don't weaken the power······

"it?!"

Hearing that a nuclear bomb had exploded in front of me, the moving tank stopped for a moment.

There was a clanging sound, and the driver hurriedly opened the hatch, and looked forward excitedly to see the excitement come out.

"Let me see!"

At the same time, on the edge of the nuclear explosion area, there is a heart-rending cry.

"Hurry up!"

"Faster!!"

"Ahhh It's going to catch up! ”

McClown, who was lying in the back compartment, screamed silently and squeezed desperately in the direction of the front of the car, trying to get himself farther away from the center of the explosion.

His lieutenant was lying on the other side of the carriage, head in his hands, eyes closed, babbling to whom he was praying.

Both have changed into radiation suits.

Not only did he wear a protective mask on his head, but he also knocked two anti-radiation agents, but he still couldn't withstand the imminent threat of death and the fear that penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Si Si, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was quite calm, but looking at the white light printed in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but have a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

The truck she was driving had almost just burst out of the pass on the north side of the valley when the blinding white light and the sound of explosions caught up with her.

I didn't dare to look behind me.

Clenching the crown of her teeth, the soles of her shoes were almost welded to the electric door, and she soared to more than sixty yards on the bumpy dirt road!

The scorching shock wave carried the raging dust and almost blew it into the carriage.

The open col on the south side seemed to be an outlet for the shockwave, and dust and rubble poured forward from behind her.

Fortunately, the epicenter of the explosion was located below the surface.

If it had exploded on flat ground, I was afraid that I would not have felt the pain, and everyone would have turned into molten iron and waste along with the truck under them······

North side of the airport.

Standing on the sand dunes, Tail is holding a telescope in his hand, looking out at the valley to the south, which has been surrounded by night.

When she saw the white light coming on, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"I'm Giao! The nuclear bomb really exploded! ”

"It's good to catch up." Sesame Paste breathed a sigh of relief, and his tightly clenched right fist finally loosened.

Tail suddenly looked at her suspiciously. "But why aren't there mushroom clouds?"

"Only in the case of an air explosion will there be a mushroom cloud...

··· Probably? Sesame Paste replied in an uncertain tone.

The flesh standing on the side was still sighing, and his depressed appearance was obviously distressed about the ruins in the valley.

Sesame Paste was about to comfort her.

At this moment, a truck rushed out of the billowing dust and drove from the north side of Lost Valley in the direction of the airport.

The truck stopped.

As soon as everyone gathered around, two people rolled down from the back compartment.

I saw that the two of them ripped off their protective masks, and before they could get up from the ground, they propped their hands on the ground and vomited.

Looking at the two people who were vomiting, Sesame Paste, who walked up to greet his teammates, unconsciously stopped, looked over there and asked.

"Who are these two?"

"McLene, and his lieutenant..." Jumping out of the driver's seat, Sisi glanced at the two on the ground, "I just knew. ”

Tail's eyes lit up, and he looked excitedly at the middle-aged man who was slowly getting up from the ground.

"Oh! You're General McKellen? ”

Flesh clenched the bear's claws and shouted excitedly. "Ah O! We've caught a big fish! ”

"Oh!!"

The pale McClen was slightly stunned, he didn't know the person in front of him, and he didn't understand why the bear could speak.

However, he still had the consciousness of being a prisoner, and knew that being honest could reduce the suffering, so he spoke cautiously.

"I'm McClown······ You are? Tail: "Tail!" McClen: "...···? ”

Looking at the blank face, the corners of Sisi's mouth suddenly turned into a dark smile, and he said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, when I was in Ruigu City, that balloon was still released by Ah Wei."

Tail nodded excitedly: "Uh-huh! That's right! In order to raise the balloon higher, it took me and Sesame Paste a lot of effort! ”

Sesame Paste smiled a little embarrassedly. However, McKellen didn't even look at her.

The moment he heard the word balloon, his eyes bulged as if they were inflated.

Staring at the smug guy with murderous eyes, he stretched out his index finger tremblingly, and his face was blue and white.

"The balloon······ You did it?! ”

Not caring at all about the gaze that was eager to strangle himself, the tail nodded his head proudly.

"Uh-huh, that's right! You're welcome! ”

McLalen barely had a mouthful of old blood spurting out, and he wanted to rush up and strangle her to death.

"Don't move."

Appreciating the devastated expression, Si Si shook the freshly captured pistol in his hand and politely reminded him.

"Don't forget that you're a captive now, be honest if you don't want to die."

I was so embarrassed to be chased in Ruigu City. Now it's revenge. Oasis 9 West. The command post of the corps was stationed.

A Sabre fighter landed on the runway of the airfield.

Looking at the pilot who jumped out of the cabin, an officer followed in the footsteps of the ground crew and asked anxiously.

"Where's the H-55 you're escorting?" The pilot replied dryly.

"We are under enemy air strikes! The H-55 was damaged by one side of the engine during takeoff. ”

The officer's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked. "What about the nuclear bomb?"

The pilot replied truthfully. "On the plane... ...”

While the pilots were reporting the situation, the officers at the front command post had already learned about the situation at the front from other sources.

Command in the account.

Griffin, who stood in front of the radio, was silent for a long time without saying a word.

After about ten minutes, he turned around and returned to the command table, stared at the strategic map twice, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Inform the 30,000 Men of the Falcon Kingdom······ Be sure to defend the line until the reinforcements arrive! ”

"The 20,000 squad finished their rest and moved to the north side of the 30,000 men."

Reinforcements from companies and alliances are arriving in Nak Ha province one after another.

With the support of the Iron Heart, Oasis 9 must not be able to hold on, and it is the best choice to retreat to Oasis 3 to organize defense and lengthen the opponent's supply line.

He will ask His Excellency the Legion Commander for more reinforcements.

Hearing General Griffin's order, the officers standing at the command table looked at each other.

An officer couldn't help but remind.

"The 20,000-strong team just participated in the battle of the Fertile City a few days ago, and the personnel and equipment have suffered heavy losses, and the combat effectiveness is probably less than 30%, I am worried-"

Griffin glanced at him.

The cold look in his eyes made the officer immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Looking back at the map, Griffin continued succinctly.

"The rest of the departments will be transferred to Oasis 3, and all the equipment and supplies that can be taken away will be taken away, and those that cannot be taken away will be burned on the spot."

The adjutant standing aside asked. "What about McClown?"

Griffin fell silent, his cold eyes flickering with a hint of complexity.

He fought with that high-spirited guy for half his life.

I wish the guy was going to get out of here, but so

exited the scene, but he still inevitably felt sad that the rabbit was dead.

He swears. Will definitely take revenge on this!

Throwing his hat on the map in command, he turned and left the tent.

"Flag him at half-mast."

Behind him, the conductor was silent.

After a long silence, I don't know who took the lead, all the officers took off their hats and dragged them in their palms.

A pair of eyes burned with flames. That's the spark of hatred······

Meanwhile.

Chu Guang, who was commanding on the front line, also learned about the battle situation near the No. 7 Oasis site through Xiaoqi and the official website forum.

And when Chu Guang heard that the 110,000 Falcon Kingdom team stationed at the airport was actually commanded by McClen, the whole person was stunned for two seconds.

That's a ······ What a coincidence. "What about people?"

Xiaoqi: "It's been controlled by your players.

Chu Guang nodded. It's good that you're not dead.

These can be used as bargaining chips at the negotiating table before it evolves into a full-scale war.

It is impossible for either the alliance or the enterprise to reach the west coast 10,000 kilometers away, and this is neither in the interests of the alliance nor the enterprise, nor is it the goal of the war of both sides.

For the Alliance, the most optimistic scenario is to knock out a war reparation from the legion or a vassal of the legion, and then collect a few juniors in Luoxia Province.

Perhaps the Enterprise would be willing to share the secrets of Vault 0 with him, but he wouldn't be too disappointed if not.

After all, he never pinned his hopes on that legend.

"What about the nuclear bomb?" Chu Guang then asked about the question he was most concerned about.

Xiaoqi whispered.

"Detonated by the Legion······ However, your player sent a nuclear bomb into the underground tunnels of Lost Valley, and it seems that no one was hurt. ”

Chu Guang's expression was slightly stunned. Blown up?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the change in the expression on Chu Guang's face, Vanus cast an inquiring glance at him.

Finod, who was standing not far away, also looked nervously to this side, trying to figure out what stage of the war was going on.

It doesn't matter which side wins.

As soon as the ceasefire negotiations are reached, there is hope that he will return home.

Chu Guang didn't speak, and cast his gaze out of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bridge, looking at the sun at the end of the horizon that was getting farther and farther away.

It would be nice to get that nuclear bomb.

Even if you don't use it in your hand, it can make the legion throw a mouse bogey, and you can't let go of your hands and feet on the battlefield.

But now······

The situation is a bit more complicated. The Great Rift Valley, City of Origin.

In the spacious conference room, there is a long conference table carved out of obsidian, and two people sit at the long table.

The man at the head of the conference table was about sixty years old, his sideburns were already covered with hoarfrost, and his face was full of vicissitudes, and the criss-crossing ravines were like cracks in a canyon.

The slightly closed eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

As if worried that he was asleep, the tall man sitting at the other end of the long table in the conference reminded him with an expressionless face.

"Even nuclear bombs were used."

He was wearing a silver-gray uniform, the crisp fabric was smooth like a mirror.

Hearing the word nuclear bomb, the old man's eyebrows moved slightly, but still there was not much reaction.

"Hmm.

"It's getting too much." "Hmm."

"That's all you can say?" The tall man's voice tinged with unpleasantness.

The old man sighed softly.

"I need time to think."

"Thinking? Aren't the contracts written in black and white anymore? ”

The tall man chuckled, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"If you think about it any longer, we'll have to fight another world war in the garbage."

The old man sitting in the chair sighed and finally opened his lowered eyelids.

Looking at the tall man sitting across from him with cloudy pupils, he said in a calm and gentle tone.

"This is where the complexity of the problem lies: our civilization is on the verge of collapse, and any small mistake can ruin the last hope. And, don't always use that kind of tone that doesn't matter to you, will it become the way it is, and your academy won't have a little responsibility? ”

"Of course, we made a serious mistake and chose to trust a bunch of fools who think things with their fists. What's even more stupid is that I just wasted another precious 5 minutes of my life trying to convince a slow-thinking old man. The tall man sneered, and lowered his arms that were clutched in front of his chest.

The figure faded, and finally dissipated into a shadow and dissipated into a particle of light.

That's a hologram.

Faced with the empty conference table, the old man fell into a long silence.

At this time, the electronic sound of AI wafted in his ears.

“···.·· Emissaries from the south begged for an audience, claiming to be allies, and wishing to negotiate with us about the Bugherra Free State's covert support for the Legion. ”

Coalition ······

I seem to have heard of this name. When did it come?

Stretching out his index finger and pinching his eyebrows, the old man couldn't think of it anymore.

Since the end of the Age of Prosperity, too many strange things have happened in this land.

From the kings of kingdoms, to the chiefs of tribes, and all sorts of bizarre organizations and ideas······ They are like matches struck in the dark, they come and go as fast as they come, and the only use is to burn their fingers black, and then they know that they hurt.

But in the end, the old man decided to meet the younger ones.

"Invite them to the lounge, I'll be there in a moment.

The AI assistant replied in a gentle electronic tone.

"Yes, Mr. Chief.

1 second to remember:
