Chapter 21: Broken Island
"Zhan Lan's progress is also great."
Listening to the words coming from the spiritual link, Zheng Zhe withdrew his gaze from afar.
Even if he didn't use the method of mental power scanning, he only needed to optimize the nerves related to vision a little, and his eyesight was enough to penetrate everything dozens of kilometers away. After the fourth-order gene lock was opened, the genes in Zheng Zhe's body were basically constantly optimizing and iterating all the time, so that his basic attributes had swelled more than a step compared to when he first unlocked the fourth-order.
For Zhan Lan's understanding, Zheng Zha's heart was both relieved and a little embarrassed. The gratification was naturally his joy that Zhan Lan had once again strengthened his confidence and ignited the motivation to move forward; And the embarrassment is that he has always taken care of Zhan Lan intentionally or unintentionally in many ways because of the wonderful special feelings in his heart.
"No one doesn't like to hug left and right, and no one doesn't like to open a harem, if you don't have similar feelings, it can only mean that you don't have that ability, your excellence is not enough for them to be attracted by your charm and willingly fall in love with you."
"For example, when I open my eyes, there are beautiful beautiful girls on my left and right hands looking at me with affection, preferably white hair...... And it's going to be well developed. ”
This is the experience of a brother surnamed Jiang when Zheng Zhe has not yet entered the main god space and stayed in the bar. Although Zheng Zhe looked at the brother's handsome face, a somewhat haggard look, and the act of helping his waist to go to the toilet from time to time, he wanted to vomit a little. But when he saw the three beautiful girls with their own characteristics around him, and the behavior of being obedient to him, it did not prevent Zheng Zhe from quietly agreeing with this sentence in his heart.
…… Especially one of the beautiful girls, it's really a white hair, just like what came out of the second dimension.
After all, men are called men for a reason. And a normal man always has vanity, doesn't he?
Even after entering the main god space, Zheng Zha could pat his chest and show that he only loved Lori alone, and he didn't do anything to be sorry for her, but it didn't prevent him from clearly knowing that he and Zhan Lan had a good impression of each other, and they also had a tacit understanding beyond that of ordinary comrades-in-arms.
And that night, he accidentally broke the secret conversation between Yang Yun and Zhang Jie, there were too many things he couldn't understand, and he was worried about who to talk to, but when he heard the words from Lori's mouth that he asked him to find Zhan Lan, who could say that he was not quietly relieved in his heart?
Of course, Zheng Zhe has a conscience and a sense of morality, he didn't make this matter clear, and only dared to hide that feeling in his heart. Zheng Zha knew that Zhan Lan also had similar feelings about him, and this mutual affection made him even more entangled...... He didn't want his personal emotions to affect his judgment, but inadvertently, he always cared for and protected Zhan Lan a little more.
In the Middle-earth team, each team member has their own unique role and importance, and Zhan Lan, as the mental power controller in the team, her safety is crucial to the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the entire team. In an ordinary battle, Zheng Zhe could blame his extra care for Zhan Lan on the protection of the mental power controller, which was a reasonable and necessary excuse.
However, when Zhan Lan took the initiative to stand up and show her courage and determination not to be willing to accept the status quo, Zheng Zha could no longer use this excuse to deceive her true feelings.
The problem that should be solved must always give a result, and the problem that should be clarified must also give an answer after all.
- Well, I can still suppress this layer of thoughts now, but if I continue to drag on, it will inevitably become a new hole in my mind...... Now that Zhan Lan understands his weakness, then when this world is over, I should also start to solve it.
Zheng Zha took a deep breath and looked in the direction that Zhan Lan had pointed out in the Psychic Link just now, and also suppressed those chaotic thoughts in his heart. Although he was not worried about the danger that Zhan Lan on the other side would encounter, nor was he worried about the safety of Yang Yun, Chu Xuan and Qi Tengyi who followed Neos to "Paradise Lost", but now he still has his own work to do.
"Roger, be careful." After replying to the link in the heart, Zheng Zhe started his own action.
Stepping on the air, he can easily break ten times the speed of sound, and under the subtle control, Zheng Zhe's figure seems to blend into the wind, and the air not only does not cause the slightest obstacle to him, but also provides assistance for his progress like a farewell audience in the middle of the road. In just ten seconds or so, he was already standing above the position indicated by Zhan Lan earlier.
At his feet was a large base for Yuri, which was more heavily defended than the previous bases, and Zheng had seen a lot of armed weapons that he didn't recognize—he was sure that the patterns of those creations weren't in the original game, and that might be the change that the Arctic Continent had brought to the world.
However, none of this mattered, because this kind of mortal iron would make no difference in front of him.
"I don't really want to say some villain lines from anime to show my presence...... But you're in my way. ”
Looking at the scene under his feet, Zheng Zha took a deep breath and said in a low voice. And with the boost of the energy in his body, the surrounding energy seemed to sense the corresponding will.
As if beckoned, the clouds in the sky began to gather rapidly, forming a thick layer of clouds. This scene is quite similar to the scene when the allies used the super weapon weather controller before, but this time, this power comes from Zheng Zhe alone.
With such a big situation overhead, Yuri's army naturally won't be motionless. In an instant, Zheng Zha perceived countless detection methods similar to psychic powers, and wanted to see everything in his area clearly, which may be Yuri's special technology "Telepathic Observation".
And the strange sound of the movement of the laser UFO flying saucer group that gushes out of the island makes the area fill the area with an extremely uncomfortable sound wave.
“…… Okay, now you have one more place that I don't like to see. ”
Feeling the energy above his head gradually taking shape, Zheng Zhe dug out his ears with his little finger and spit out.
In the next moment, purple thunder fell from the sky.
……
Sea, land, air.
There are many people who think that the torrent of steel can easily conquer the world, dominate the sky, explore the sea, and defeat everything. They believe that human technology has developed to an astonishing extent, and even the existing nuclear bomb yield can completely destroy the earth...... But what those people often don't know is that even the most powerful weapons of humanity combined to detonate at the same moment could destroy the surface of the planet at best.
That's all.
Yuri's army did not understand what fear was, nor what retreat was. They will only follow the instructions from the Supreme Commander, and carry out the corresponding tasks in silence, like robots that have been pre-programmed with code.
Every commander would want to do this, like an armies commanding an arm, but the other side of the word also means "rigid" and "inflexible", and when they encounter a completely invincible enemy, total destruction is their only end.
When the purple thunder of the heavenly dome fell with more energy than a lightning storm and dozens of times more powerful, destruction descended on Yuri's army equally.
First and foremost was the Air Force, and the lightning that far exceeded a billion volts instantly exploded the laser UFO in mid-air into countless fragments, and these Yuri factions have always been proud of their flying weapons, which are more agile than the Kirov airship, but at this time they seem so fragile and powerless.
Most of the flying saucers didn't even have the wreckage left, they were directly dissociated into molten iron by the raging lightning and completely disappeared from this world; Only a small number of flying saucers just passed by, emitted black smoke and spun headlong into the sea, igniting flames and turning into non-reusable scrap metal. These flying saucers, which once filled the sky, are now nothing more than filthy fireworks, and not even the last wreckage has been left.
The scene is reminiscent of a summer night, when people wield electric mosquito swatters under the street lamps and beat swarms of mosquitoes to the point of crackling and bursting. However, the "mosquito" at this moment is Yuri's laser UFO, and the "electric mosquito swatter" is thunder and lightning falling from the sky. It was in this relentless symphony of iron and fire that the fall of Yuri's air force was announced.
Then, like a wild horse, the raging electric current rushed to the surface of the sea, bringing the conductive properties of the sea water to the extreme. On the surface of the sea, the originally calm waves were stirred by the current, forming a huge power grid, turning into a real "thunder hell". The sturdy shells of those thundering submarines lurking on the bottom of the sea quickly melted under the action of high temperature electric current, and the sophisticated electronic instruments inside the submarine were instantly overloaded under the impact of the electric current and lost all power. These behemoths, who once roamed alone and domineering at the bottom of the sea, have now fallen heavily to the bottom of the sea, turning into coffins made of steel, burying the majesty of Yuri's naval forces.
Finally, there is the Yuri base located on the island, where thunder falls from the sky, scorching the island to the ground, tanks, defenses...... Fragments of metal scattered and splattered, and one building after another melted in the thunder and collapsed with a bang, and the earth shook even more violently, raising dust that obscured the sky.
- However, in the midst of this boundless thunder, there is a building standing proudly.
"The Iron Curtain?"
Zheng Zha noticed the pure black in the boundless purple, and in the baptism of purple thunder and lightning, even though the land on the island had been cut off a layer, the Yuri Construction Factory, which was covered with a black film, still stood tall. Even if the thunder and lightning rippled on the black surface, it still couldn't penetrate the seemingly inconspicuous defense, and shake the slightest bit of that defense.
This is the Soviet army's superweapon, the Iron Curtain device, and its effect is even more simple and crude "invincible" in the game...... Literally invincible, even the same superweapon nuclear bomb attack, lightning storm, chrono transformation, and mind controller cannot work on units under the Iron Curtain.
- As the name suggests, when "from Stettin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain has fallen across the European continent", nothing can break through its defenses head-on.
"It's kind of interesting."
However, the invincible defense of the "Iron Curtain Speech" was tested by the greatest test ever.
With the explosion of thunder, it seemed that the whole world trembled, and all the light around it dimmed at this moment, only the purple sword light, like lightning through time and space, cut through the heavens and the earth, and pointed directly at the core of the Iron Curtain's defense...... A colossal force that could not be controlled fell from top to bottom and fell fiercely on the defensive shield of the Iron Curtain, it was not only a physical impact, but also a will to judge with a devastating will!
"Boom!"
Then, there was the loud bang.
It's like Thor descending, wielding his thunder hammer to unleash unparalleled power. The deafening and dizzying sound caused all the defenses around Yuri's construction plant to explode in an instant. They were like tissue paper, easily torn apart in the face of this force, and even the air around them seemed to tremble, and metal shards flew in the air like a sudden metal rainstorm.
And the moment the purple knife light came into contact with the black iron curtain film, the visual impact could not be described in words. The black film, as if carrying endless pressure, was like a spring that had been compressed to the limit, and under the touch of the purple knife light, it finally released all the energy, stirring up violent fluctuations...... That wave was not only a physical shock wave, but more like a torrent of energy, sweeping everything and being irresistible.
"Click!!"
In the midst of that loud and deafening sound, the slightest cracking sound was so clear and loud. The power of the purple sword light was beyond people's imagination, and wherever it touched, even if it was known as the invincible Iron Curtain protection, it only blocked for a moment, and it shattered like fragile glass in front of the power concentrated to one point.
From the moment the Iron Curtain made contact with the purple sword light, the collapse of the defenses was a foregone conclusion. The Iron Curtain, unable to withstand such tremendous pressure, began to crack, and the cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire defense structure like a spider's web. And the appearance of these rifts also indicates that the end of the Yuri construction plant below is coming. Under the impact of this powerful energy, the structure of the construction plant began to crumble, like a fragile structure that had been violently hit by a giant hammer, and collapsed with a bang.
"It's okay...... But if you really want to say it, it will be equivalent to the level of the fourth order. ”
Feeling the resistance in his hand at that moment just now, Zheng Zha first nodded, and then shook his head: "It seems that this so-called 'invincible' is not 'invincible' in the real sense." ”
After speaking, he stepped into the air and walked into the distance.
- Leaving only the island shattered and slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. (End of chapter)
