Chapter 160: Countdown
The oasis and the black pyramid are not separated by a single use.
It's the kind of person who stands in an oasis city and can observe an approximate distance with the naked eye, which means that this distance is actually not a big problem for both parties.
Distance produces more than just beauty.
And security.
Obviously, this distance does not give the Oasis humans the slightest sense of security.
After the current oasis humans retire to the oasis city, it is natural to observe the black pyramid, and the X-Men have also arranged a lot of people to watch the tide without dead ends. So, they saw the black pyramid under the dense demon wrap, flames, and its own shrinking size.
The X-Men tried to interfere with this process.
But the gains were small.
Whether it is Professor X's mind control, Magneto's electromagnetic control, or Storm's lightning storm, within a certain range of the Black Pyramid, they all lost their original psionic energy structure and directly disintegrated into a meaningless psionic turbulence. These psionic turbulences instead complement the Nurgle Demon, and after two experiments, the psionics can no longer take action, and it is clear that the power of the subspace has seriously eroded the space around the Black Pyramid.
So much so that when the psionics' power gets closer, there will be problems.
You must know how turbulent the subspace storm is, not to mention humans, even if it is a Chaos Demon, if you are accidentally caught in it, the ghost knows what mess it will be thrown into. Human beings are as fragile as bubbles in a typhoon in the face of such an environment.
The current situation is truly hopeless.
Unable to fight and beat, running and unable to run, all of them were set on the oasis, doing everything they could to fight Chaos.
Sadly, this kind of contest is largely a handout by Chaos for fun, and the aggressiveness of the Nurgle Demon Army is obviously much lower than that of the belligerent Dread-Sadistic Demon Army, if it were the Dread-Sadistic Demon Army here, it might be the first time to fight, and after the human side was beaten back, the group of red madmen screamed and killed directly in the direction of retreat.
As the oasis and the black pyramid maintain a suffocating atmosphere, plunging into an eerie calm.
Ten kilometers south of the oasis.
A yellow figure suddenly emerged from the yellow sand, blinking his blue eyes, and was checking against geographic information.
As a silicon-based life, Bumblebee actually doesn't like desert terrain very much. In the desert terrain, the sand and gravel will be permeated by the wind, and it is very easy to fall into the gaps of precision machinery, causing mechanical failure, which is why in the desert, vehicles are very easy to break down and strike. The bumblebee's body has a self-cleaning function, and the environment in the desert will not make him malfunction, but it is similar to the sweat of carbon-based life, and it is definitely not so comfortable for the body.
Bumblebee was followed by Western European generals.
This sturdy old man actually led the troops, followed Bumblebee, and went to support the Oasis.
In fact, after leaving Cairo, the Western European general had a thought of cultivating in a safe place, but this thought had not yet fallen to the ground, but when his heart was drifting, he heard the North American commander taking 3,000 people north and almost committing suicide.
At that time, the Western European general was stunned for a long time, and after chatting with the people around him about the suicide of the lemming, he took the initiative to take over the task of supporting the oasis and commanding the commander.
Originally, this task was supposed to be carried out by Dr. Pym.
But Dr. Pym had already set off for the Arabian Peninsula to seek support for the lifting of the embargo, with the idea of being a native Egyptian.
Before the departure, the Western European general already had a certain premonition, and this premonition quickly became a reality shortly after the departure, relayed by the bumblebee in charge of mobile communications. The North American commander was besieged by the Nurgle army, and his team did not retreat, firmly pinning itself to buy time for the support team. And a few hours later, definite news came from the besieged battlefield that the North American commander had been killed.
The North American commander also became the highest-ranking officer to die on the battlefield since the Chaos Demon invasion.
The Pentagon, which got the news, sent a message of condolences to the whole United States.
After the Western European general received the news from Bumblebee, he suddenly realized that his comrades-in-arms who had lived and died together in Cairo and crossed the national barrier would never see each other again.
"Are you still grieving? Checkmate. ”
Bumblebee was busy talking to the old human man next to him.
"Shut up, iron lumps, get to work." His Excellency the General scolded.
"According to the data, venting your emotions helps your health, and if you feel ashamed and go against the image of a tough guy, you can find a place where no one is there to cry and vent. I'm just a robot, you don't have to worry I'm going to laugh at you. ”
"Shut up! How do you know so many strange things as a robot? ”
"I don't have the same carbon-based life process as the leaders, but the logical models of emotions are stored in my database."
The Western European general was about to speak, but a gust of wind blew the sand and suddenly made him look at him and held back his words.
Spit and carried the sand to the ground.
He glanced at the bumblebee a few times with a little disgust, and then said quickly.
"Then you won't be sad if your friend dies? Does your iron heart feel pain? ”
"Emotions are meaningless, Your Excellency." Bumblebee's voice is cold and monotonous. "In a civilization, every individual has uncertain emotions, which is an incurable disease for civilization itself."
“…… I'm crazy to talk to a robot about this. ”
If it had been two years ago, the General would not have thought that he would be talking about such a with an alien robot in a sci-fi scene.
It can only be said that this world is crazy!
After the appearance of the Chaos Demon, it seems that nothing will happen in this world that is worth making a fuss about.
"Your Excellency General......"
"Shut up and do your job, you heartless tin man."
"Your Excellency General, we are approaching a Neurge's demon army, and we are expected to engage the enemy, ten ......"
"Ten? Ten minutes? ”
"Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five......"
Accompanied by the bumblebee's characteristic mechanical sense of humor, this human army that had been struggling through the yellow sand suddenly heard a strange noise.
It was as if the sound of countless pairs of wings was flapping, and its sound was so intense and so numerous that it even made people's skin feel a slight vibration coming from the air.
A human soldier subconsciously looked up.
Then he saw that at a distance of about a hundred meters in front of them, a flying team of countless plague drones was flying in the direction of the oasis in the direction of the oasis! They are completely blind to the humans at their side!
