Chapter 248: The Frontline
"Speaking of which...... What about repairs? "Summer Night finally remembered her cat.
"If nothing else, it should be on the far side of the charter, along with the cat witch and the crew, to fend off the attack of aether exploration." Curran said.
"Resist the attack?"
"Yes, during this time, we have tried to play hide-and-seek with the Aether exploration, but the shipyard leased by Far Ship cannot give up, and the new 'Moby-Dick' is still outfitting and cannot be moved, so it has also become a key place for the enemy to attack."
"How long has the offensive been going on?"
"About three days."
"Aether exploration took three days and still hasn't been down?" Summer Night was surprised.
"It's thanks to your friend named Victoria." Curran explained, "She dragged all the big witches above level 5, so we could barely handle the rest, and the cat witch also worked well, but the most dangerous one was thanks to Lillian." ”
Summer Night looked at Lillian curiously.
"No, no......" Lilian waved her hand a little embarrassed.
"She detonated 33 of her own bodies in one go." Curran replied for her.
Summer Night's eyelids jumped when she heard it, and just one sentence made her roughly imagine how tragic the situation was that day.
"How much body do you have left?" She asked.
"Not much...... So now I can only save it. Lillian whispered, "But it doesn't matter, as long as it lasts long enough, it will slowly replenish." ”
You just blew up two...... Summer Night complained in her heart, but she didn't say it, Lilian was comforting her, and she was also very tacit not to poke it.
"I remember that it was quite troublesome to change your body before." She changed the subject and asked, "Did Susha transform your 'node' contract?" ”
"No, I don't." Lillian shook her head, "She wanted to change it, but she tried several times without success, and then one day, she suddenly said, 'Can't you change the contract and can't change your body?' And then I remodeled my cup......"
“…… Yes? ”
Summer Night opened her mouth wide, and the wind rushing into her mouth rushed down her throat to her stomach, and she hurriedly let her head fly a little, letting the cold air leak out through the gap in her neck.
Lillian couldn't help but laugh, and continued, "Now my cup can be 'pollenized', so that one body can be quickly transferred from one body to another, so I can detonate 33 ...... in one go."
"We're here." Curran suddenly interjected.
They emerged through the gap between the tall buildings, and the view ahead suddenly widened. The first thing Summer Night notices is a half-collapsed building, in front of which there is a huge pit with a diameter of more than a kilometer, the pit is standard round, and the bottom is pure black, so smooth that it can even reflect light......
As if guessing her doubts, Curran pointed to the pit and said, "Because the temperature of the explosion was too high, the entire bottom of this was burned into glass. ”
Summer Night suddenly understood what she meant: "This is where Lilian detonated 33 bodies?" ”
"That's right, that day, the Aether Exploration Security Department and the Venture Capital Department gathered more than 500 mirror spiders to attack, and it took less than two hours to break through our defense line in Xiacheng, which is the low building group in front of the big pit......" Curran pointed to the distance.
Looking in that direction on a summer night, she didn't see any low buildings, and all that caught her eye was a ruin that was more than ten kilometers wide.
Curran continued, "The enemy had even come to the company building, but they didn't succeed in the end, and all the mirror spiders were buried here by the explosion, turning into a part of the black glass at the bottom of the pit. Since then, the opposing side has never dared to gather together to attack. ”
"Mirror spider, what's that?" Summer Night asked.
"You've also seen the giant spider that Seven Zero copied with the 'mirror' contract. It's not very flexible, but it's cheap and durable, and it sprays cobwebs, which is a very troublesome thing, and you see, there are a few ...... over there."
Summer Night looked in the direction of Curran's finger, and sure enough, she spotted three giant spiders, crawling out of the low buildings that had been completely reduced to ruins, and approaching the edge of the glass pit. Almost simultaneously, a sharp roar rang out from the other direction.
Summer Night turned her head to look and saw four raiding witches flying at high speed, the first one had short fiery red hair, it was Nana. As they approached the crater, they lowered their altitude and swooped down towards the Mirror Spider, followed by sixteen fireballs whistling out and pounced on the giant monster that was crawling slowly through the ruins.
"That's the 'Flame Burst' contract." Curran explained to Summer Night, "So far, we haven't been able to find the most suitable attack method for the cat witch, so we can only make do with the 'Flame Burst' first, at least it's cheap." ”
The basin-sized fireball hit the target accurately, and one "flame burst" was certainly not enough to solve a mirror spider, but 5-6 rounds were allocated to each target's head, and the fireballs hit one after another, and the huge spider, which was almost two stories high, was engulfed in the flames of the explosion, and finally turned into a pile of wreckage that could not be seen as a prototype.
The Strike Witch pulled up as quickly as she released the fireball, and quickly detached without looking back, but the Mirror Spider only spat out spider silk just a little later than their attack. Just as the "Flame Burst" hit the target, the Raider Witch flying at the back suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Countless white spider silks appeared on her, holding her in the air in defiance of physical rules, unable to make the girl move even though the two WS-1 Aether rampulses still roared angrily.
The other three companions did not try to save her, they looked back, and instead sped away from the scene, the long trail cloud left high in the air, slowly drifting away with the wind. A few seconds later, several black-masked witches flew up from the rubble on broomsticks and cautiously approached the Raider Witch who was frozen in the air by the spider silk.
"Assault witches are much faster than broomsticks, so they can hit and run." Curran said, "Except for the Great Witch, only the cobwebs can restrain a little, and your whimsy is quite useful." ”
"Don't you have to save her?" Summer Night asked.
"No, you don't."
As soon as Curran's words fell, the two WS-1 thrusters on the Raider Witch exploded on the summer night, and in the firelight, a familiar pillar of light with the advertising slogan rose up:
"Moan Insurance, non-discriminatory, worry-free protection."
Within the barrier of the pillar of light, a crack opened, teleporting the newly healed cat witch out of the battlefield, and then the barrier disappeared, leaving only two thrusters that had been turned into scrap metal.
The witch of the Ministry of Security seemed to have expected it, and after glancing at it from a distance, she flew back again.
Xia Ye was stunned for a while before he remembered to speak: "The insurance is still effective?" ”
"Well, Moan Insurance promised to continue to provide us with insurance services." "But premiums have gone up 100 percent." ”
"Could it be that Moan Insurance is an independent company?"
"How is it possible, 'Ether Exploration' owns 45% of the shares of 'Moan Insurance' and is its largest shareholder, but this does not prevent 'Moan Insurance' from making money...... Especially now is such a great opportunity. ”
“……”
Summer Night was a little surprised at first, but when she thought about it, it didn't seem so surprised.
Curran smiled and continued: "Actually, 'Moan Insurance' is not a special case, Bafalia is also selling us machine tools, thanks to them, we are just producing WS-1 at a rate that is just catching up with consumption." ”
