Chapter 439: Sacrifice and Response
There was a silence where fires were rising, but they did not spread outward according to common sense, but shrank inward under the influence of some special mechanism;
It's like an invisible shroud, and from the very beginning there is a pressure exerted from the outside in, causing the fire to press against the core of the fire very unreasonably.
But at the same time, the giant silver-armored monster also responded at the first time.
At the occluded center of the explosion, there was an electric light flashing outward from the core of the monster's body, and the two circles of spherical electric balls that came in succession suddenly expanded, forming a tight pressure band to resist the extrusion of the fire in reverse;
Immediately, the scorching white and fierce fireworks and the invisible purple electric light only stalemate for a few moments in the extreme silence, and finally the power from the inside out took over, and won a complete victory in a very short time.
As a result, the invisible shroud that had closed inward seemed to be broken, and the extremely hot fireball inside turned outward in an instant;
Then, a heavy wave of dust carrying building materials swept across the city, which was gradually diluted in the process of breaking through the outer edge of the city, and then became dense with the grass, trees, earth and rocks when it swept through the field, and formed a huge curtain of dust walls that continued to spread outward in the far sky outside the city.
Then, a scorching white flame of high temperature and high pressure suddenly pressed towards the surroundings, although it did not break through all the way to the outside of the city like the previous air waves, but the damage caused along the way was extremely serious;
In a few moments, when the impact of the light and temperature had gone far away, there was a rumbling and terrifying sound that gradually caught up from behind;
Farther and more durable than the air waves, farther than the temperature of the light, this continuous sound almost resounded on the surface of the small half of the planet, and finally spread all kinds of things born in this city to the outside world in the form of sound, even if it aroused the curiosity of customers in more than a dozen cities in the distance;
In the continuous questioning, the top of the track selectively tells the truth about different targets, in short, first tells the situation to those individuals or groups who they cannot afford to provoke, or who will cause trouble, and let them choose whether to leave and when to leave;
As for the other customers, the operators, who are confident that they can solve all the problems of the present and withstand all the subsequent situations, do not seem to be ready to try to evacuate them, just as they did not evacuate the vast majority of customers and even the service providers when attacking the city where the monster is located.
~~~~~
For now, pull back your gaze to the place where the incident occurred
The scorching white light, the scorching fire, and the intense air waves, countless buildings collapsed and collapsed in the places where these impacts passed, but even the larger pieces were crushed into slag in the overwhelming pressure, and were splashed outward under the strong shock waves, and how much damage was caused in the kinetic energy carried by them.
In the city swept by all of the above, the vast majority of living life was dusted back to dust in the meantime, and it was clear that there was not the slightest room for survival to struggle;
After half an hour, the dust wall in the distant sky gradually drifted away in the deceleration, and waited for the fire in the horizon that was still expanding early to cool and fade;
At this moment, the object is an area of the city with a diameter of 3 kilometers, which has been almost completely flattened and reduced to scorched earth;
Even if it is expanded by another 2 kilometers from the 3-kilometer boundary, the scope of the area is only slightly better than the explosion area;
And from here on, a little further forward, only to see the total number of sporadic security troops less than a few hundred, able to survive among those buildings with cracked walls but mostly intact, but the emotions of unwillingness, hatred, and happiness under the armor are also extremely diverse, whether they are pointing to the orbital headquarters or the silver-armored monsters.
With the exception of these damaged preservation forces, only a handful of truly powerful people in the range were spared;
Among them, there are both the most embarrassed and the light-hearted, who are holding their own different physical and mental attitudes, making different plans that only they will know;
And in a corner a little farther away, you can see a strong man who is wearing the uniform of the security force even though his armor is all broken, and he is muttering words such as 'captain' and 'what's going on', staring blankly at his hands and the ruins in the distance that can't even be called a mess, as if he doesn't know what is going on.
In the farther range, the customers who should have woken up from the aura effect had already woken up in this series of events, and after they came to the street to look at the direction of the explosion, they left behind the depraved enjoyment that was being carried out behind them with the look of panic, panic, indifference, etc., and prepared to leave the city in the scolding of the majority.
In the direction of the center of the explosion point, I saw that with the unscathed monster foothold as the origin, a strange island with a diameter of hundreds of meters was formed, standing alone in the ruins of nearly 100 meters sunken on the periphery;
In it, the silver-armored beast continued to look around, as if it didn't realize everything before, and roared out a wave of hatred for life;
In the meantime, there were several dangerous buildings full of cracks and scorch marks, and the lucky or unfortunate intelligent lifeforms in them actually survived under the protection of the monster;
One of the buildings was the same as the former dining room, and the survivors were all Cynthia's sleeping captives, while the rest of the neighboring buildings had little to do with her previous actions, and were just unknown people who happened to be sheltered.

Orbital base
"The damage seems to be a bit big, and the destruction of a small half of the city is not mentioned, it is nothing more than the construction of a few broken buildings. But the lives of customers and technicians, and even the reputation of this astral body, these are no small troubles."
Of the 12 attendees, one was looking at the city at the moment.
"There's nothing to worry about, just report to the business federation according to what I said before, everyone will take all the responsibilities together, and you are not the only one who bears all this."
Another black mist replied with an excuse,
"Besides, all the customers who should have been evacuated in advance have been evacuated, and the rest are dead and dead, to put it bluntly, it's just this loss, at least my head of the family won't care about it at all."
"Yes, the possibility of a garrison attack has been a long time, and since customers are willing to come and enjoy themselves in such a situation, they should have to bear a series of risks themselves, so what does this have to do with us? We've lost a lot of money, right? ”
"Garrison? But that's a monster, and you can't tell nonsense. ”
"So what? They're all in the same group in my eyes anyway, and the damn shitty don't believe it."
"Okay, all in all, these things are put aside for now, and now it's time to talk about what to do next. This group of security troops is completely abolished, but we still have to continue to deploy forces to complete the blockade; ”
"Blocking? Our goal is the garrison." The black fog was about to finish speaking, but he immediately added in another direction, "Selman, shut up first, I don't want to discuss with you now whether the monster and the guard are a family." ”
"Hehe~ I'm too lazy to convince an idiot like you."
After the interlude, the black fog of the previous speech continued with the previous sentence,
"It's a matter of waiting for the guards, but we have to control the monsters' movements, right? After all, when the bosses report on it, the result of losing only one city is completely different from the loss of a commercial star. ”
"That's right, then let's continue to transfer troops and bring more wings from farther on the surface, there are no more requirements, and you can't do it with this group of waste, at least let them contain the monsters around the ruins;"
"Agreed, and since it's come to this, at least in that city we'll have to make a show of helping the customers leave, or it's a little too ugly."
~~~~~~~~~
Once a decision is made, a series of orders are efficiently issued, and the parties on the surface carry out their respective tasks.
One of the largest tasks was the security forces stationed in the various parts of the planet, and under this order, they began to concentrate in echelons and go to the event site in batches;
Those who are too far away are transported by a wing in a giant airship to the far side of the planet at a speed that is by no means slow;
If the distance is relatively close, they will take a team of individual air and space airships to go one after another.
At the target, Cynthia also discovered these not small movements early, and she didn't think about obstructing it, but was thinking about how to entangle with this group of weak soldiers so that she could delay it for a longer time without being discovered and releasing water.
Soon after, groups of rapid reaction forces arrived and formed a three-dimensional siege more than hundreds of kilometers away, one by one with all kinds of heavy weapons to attack in echelons, trying to use the itching that came from all directions to attract the attention of the monsters in the city, and tried to limit their footsteps to the destroyed area, no matter how bad it was, they had to find a way to limit it to the span between the inside and outside of the city.
Cynthia chose to cooperate, except for sometimes choosing to rush in one direction in order to pretend to be more like a little bit, most of the time she would seem to be attracted by those attacks, wandering around the city to chase those aerial aircraft formations, and from time to time she would send out several attacks of different severity, killing several of them or even an entire squad.
In the meantime, the twenty lights of the first stage have finally passed, and the file that Cynthia has been waiting for has finally been 'downloaded'.
While firing lasers with her eyes, she shot several miscellaneous fish in the air one after another in her eyes, and at the same time, she was also distracted to open the information in her thoughts, and checked by the way as she continued to move forward and continue to attack.
It focuses on the combination of inscriptions for several core structures, focusing on the convenience of being molded without the need for high-precision tools, which is exactly the right fit for the situation at the moment.
Of course, it is the common sense of the world that there are gains and losses, and what replaces the attachment materials and processing ends of the inscriptions is not other things, but the flesh and blood of the body inscriptions attached to the body of the elves;
In addition, its dosage is much higher than that of regular materials, the construction time is also higher than that of regular materials, and the final effect is also worse than that of ordinary materials, but the inscription text is not a specialization developed in this direction, so this deficiency can be understood, and its use in this period is also worth looking forward to;
In particular, one of the most important features that appealed to Cynthia the most was to reinforce the already high sympathy between the main body and the external armor, using her own consciousness as an anchor and using the security department's delivery facility to teleport it.
External armor is Cynthia's most long-awaited support, and if it can be teleported, many things can be solved in advance, and it can be said that it is the most reliable and practical mission execution plan in this situation where there is no time to lurk and wait for teammates to arrive.
To accomplish this, she began to unleash a thicker black mist again, stacking the maximum number of negative aura realms in between;
As a result, the entire city is gradually enveloped in a thick layer of darkness, and it is a special darkness that straddles the level of species and psyche, and whoever enters it has a great possibility of going crazy.
In this almost abrupt move, tens of thousands of security forces responsible for containment fell into the city, including the servants and guests who already existed in the city, all of whom were lost from outside observation;
As far as Cynthia knew, and from the few strong men who left on their own, these lost people wandered like zombies in the dense fog, attacking everything they saw along the way.
~~~~~~
They have lost their real-time grasp of the state of the monster, and the several rounds of security cannon fodder sent before and after have also been silent;
Even the widgets on the armor failed to connect, making it impossible for the base to determine the status of its members;
After all, the security force is also cultivated with money, so without confirming the specific situation, the orbital decision-making level did not arrange for them to be sent to death;
After several waves of wings divided into teams to explore to no avail, most of the newly arrived wings and the wings that escaped in advance when the black fog was filled with darkness were left at the very edge of the fog area outside the city.
They had heard or witnessed the tragic situation of their colleagues during the escape, so they were really happy and nervous at the moment, for fear that Shangfeng would not have the patience to ask to enter the path and die.
At the same time, the orbital bases appear to be somewhat uncertain, even if they always believe that they are capable of dealing with any known threat out of confidence in the garrison and the strong men stationed there;
But that's just 'known', or even an exaggerated description, and there are countless dangers in the world that are 'known but unmanageable'
Besides, monsters and garrisons are not 'known' in the first place, so the devil knows what is happening in the black fog at this moment, and what kind of crisis it will cause to his side in the future.
"What to do? Do you need us to go down in person, or do we send special forces in first? ”
"Send special forces and let them find out what's going on."
"Hehe, you're unabashed."
"What? Why don't you go yourself? ”
"Huh."
"Since you don't want to go, then don't talk nonsense, I don't know how brave you are."
"You!"
"Okay, okay, let's not say a word. Send four squads in and see what's going on inside. ”
"Who's sending?"
"Let's draw lots."
"Okay."
