Chapter 889: Infiltrating Osaka
The brigs sailed into the black fog, and all of them wore rubber cloaks to keep out the electromagnetic particles in the black fog. The direction in the black fog is difficult to argue, and according to Modas's own estimates, the barrier of the fog is about ten meters thick. As the brig cuts through the fog wall, Modas and his crew see islands filled with the smell of death.
The islands of the Archipelago, large and small, have now been reduced to a scorched earth, and it's hard to believe that this was an overnight transformation. The land of the island is charred and dry, and plants such as coconut palms and camphor are toppled down by the island's monsters and pulled somewhere. Strange creatures resembling drill rigs are erected on the islands, and they are in groups of three or five, poking out of the bottom of their bodies as if they are connected to the ground, and from time to time you will see regular fluorescent light rising into the bodies of these strange creatures.
They're pumping the island's energy!
When he saw these creatures, Modas felt like this. The brig observed the island from a distance for a moment, and then quietly circled in the direction of Ryujima. The closer you get to Ryujima, the more corpses float on the sea. There are human beings, and there are also some unnamed creatures that are horrible. The Seawolf team salvaged one of the monsters, a tailed tiger shark, but with an extra insect-like arthropod on its abdomen. The monster's body was badly rotten, and even after being salvaged to the ship, the rot continued.
The muscle tissue continued to turn into a yellow thick, as if some unknown microorganism was constantly eroding the corpse. This kind of decay is extraordinary, even if it has lost any signs of life, but the inside of the corpse is boiling!
Modas hurriedly asked the team to throw the body into the sea and disinfected the ship's deck as necessary.
The waters around Ryujima are almost hell, with tens of thousands of corpses floating in the water, and the stench that emits makes even the most seasoned team members pale. One of the female team members trembled even more, and looked at Modas with fear in her eyes: "Boss, what is going on here?"
Modas sighed, "I don't know as much as you do, that's why we're here. Cheer up, no matter what's going on here, we'll find out and report back!"
As the island where Shin-Osaka Castle is located, Ryushima is naturally equipped with a variety of facilities. This includes several docks. The brigs struggled through the sea of corpses, approaching one of the piers to the west. About a few hundred meters from the dock, a sniper used the gun's sight to look in the direction of the dock.
In the crosshair of the sight, several octopus monsters are active. They're like having a bug chassis attached to an octopus. The two beings were assembled together to form this alien creature, and the octopus monster haunted the docks, moving like guards in a certain pattern. Lowering his sights, the sniper shook his head at Modas.
Modas found the captain and whispered, "Go to the northeast side of Ryu Island." ”
The captain looked surprised: "There is only a cliff there. ”
"So probably no one thought we'd land from there, or that you had a better place. ”
The captain of the ship certainly did not have a better place to land, so according to Modas, all the brigs quietly sailed to the northeast of Ryu Island. It's a cliff with a high slope on top of it, and Shin-Osaka Castle below.
The steep cliff was not enough for the fully armed sea wolf members, who used their equipment and the environment of the cliff itself to climb up nimbly, and in only 5 minutes, everyone had reached the top. Modas crouched on the grassy slope, looking incredulously at Osaka Castle below, and at the slums outside the city. Ryujima is located in the middle of the island belt of the Yaning Islands, and the sea breeze is blocked by other islands, so the climate in the archipelago is relatively comfortable, otherwise Hirata Gentsuna would not have built Osaka Castle here.
In Modas's impression, the vegetation of Ryukyu Island is vast, and you can see tall coconut trees and patches of greenery everywhere. But now, the whole of Ryudo has become a world of black and red. The earth was scorched, and the ground was torn open one by one. Those bio-drilling rigs are set up on these rifts, frantically pumping out the island's energy.
There are still a large number of survivors on Ryu Island, but they are guarded by a number of strange insects with thin heads and tails, round in the middle, and covered in crystal shells. Unbeknownst to Modas, the strange insect had not yet appeared during last night's attack. But after one night, there were already nearly a thousand of these strange insects on Ryu Island, and if Agladis saw them, he would not be strangers. Because these bugs have appeared in his spiritual war with Prosus, who is the storm bug that Prosius acts as cannon fodder.
It's just that these assault bugs are much smaller than their counterparts in the spiritual warfare, and the worms are only more than one meter long at the head and tail, while the assault worms that appear in the spiritual warfare are at least three meters long!
For some reason, the assault vehicles that were made by cutting corners are now playing the role of guards, and they are in small groups, guarding over nearly a hundred survivors. Then, after receiving some invisible signal, it will drive these survivors to a rift in the earth, and then force them all down the rift and fall somewhere underground.
Looking at Osaka Castle again, a huge round pit appears in the direction of the castle tower. The original majestic castle is gone, and on its original site, the round crater that seems to have been formed by the impact of a meteorite reflects a black and blue flame, and from time to time a pillar of light rises into the sky. After reaching an altitude of 100 meters, waves of blue light were formed and swept through the black fog.
Every time such ripples pass, the electromagnetic fog seems to be thicker.
Modas's instincts told him that there must be something underneath the Watchhouse today. As for the rest of Osaka Castle, a large number of buildings have been torn down, and only a few scattered pavilions remain in the ruins of the war. Two pitch-black cocoons more than ten meters high occupy both sides of the city, and the meat cocoons are covered with thick pipes, and from time to time they will spew out hot smoke from some air holes.
Their flesh-cushioned abutments are hundreds of square meters long, and large and small pipes extend from the abutments around the abutments and penetrate into the ground. From time to time, a group of monsters will drag the plants on the island to the Cocoon, which will crack a crack and a clump of tentacles will extend from it, engulfing the wood into it. As the temperature in the cocoon rises sharply, the walls of the cocoon emit red light, and then circles of red cocoon light are transmitted down the pipes around the abutment into the ground.
These two large cocoons are like two refining plants, swallowing anything that can be burned and purified, and then turning it into pure energy and sending it somewhere underground. Regardless, the entire Archipelago has the potential to become a large processing plant.
"It's horrific here. "The one who spoke was one of the team leaders under Modas, from South Korea, with a single name and a Mu character.
He is an ability in the Thunder Elemental Domain, and his combat power is second to none among several team leaders. Like the rest of the team, Mu wears a tight-fitting tactical suit, and wears a metal wall on his right hand, which is actually an electromagnetic particle amplitude device that can amplify Mu's lightning ability. Several team leaders are equipped with various equipment that can improve their abilities, just like Mu.
Modas gestured backwards, and the four team leaders, including Mu, quickly stepped forward. Modas said, "Mu, and I, along with Bawi, took two groups of people to the castle tower. Bai and Sanyi, you two groups go to reconnoiter the situation at the underground nuclear power plant. Remember, the purpose of our mission is not to fight, and in the event of danger, I allow you to choose the right moment to leave at your discretion. ”
The people he named were all the leaders of the sea wolf, and each of them was a good character. After remembering Mordas's orders, they immediately split up. The four teams split into two groups and searched for suitable cover along the hillside and dived towards Osaka Castle below. Osaka Castle, where smoke rises everywhere, has very limited visibility. Under the cover of the terrain and smoke, they soon reached the vicinity of the city walls.
A hundred meters ahead, on a high wall, a strange creature hovered over it. The monster had a dozen eyes on its head looking out of the city in different directions, apparently acting as a sentinel. Modas looked at Mu, who nodded. Mu arched his body slightly, blue lines appeared in his eyes, and his figure suddenly flashed. Leaving a faint blue electric streak in the air, the man had already slanted behind a rock on a protruding ground twenty meters away.
Lightning Rush, one of Mu's abilities. This ability allows him to move like lightning, and even change the angle at will, which can often be used to great effects in the rhythm of battle. And now, although the alien creature on the city wall has many eyes, it is not qualified to capture Mu. After a few flashes, Mu was already in the blind spot of the monster's sight.
He gently pulled a pitch-black dagger from the outside of his thigh, and several lightning bolts shot off the dagger. Mu suddenly burst into the sky, and as soon as the monster's eyes caught the attacker, an arc of electricity swept over its fat body with the movement of the dagger, and then silently split in two, spraying a large amount of blood and internal tissues from its body.
Watching Mu kill the monster and tumble over the wall, Modas gestured to the others, and the Sea Wolf members quickly moved forward, climbing into the wall before the other monsters could spot it. Modas led two groups of men to the former site of the castle tower, while the rest of the group headed to the underground nuclear power plant. Right now, the monsters on the surface are busy squeezing all the resources available to the archipelago, and they don't notice that the sea wolves have sneaked in.
Modas's team soon arrived at the site of the old castle tower, lying on the edge of the round pit, Modas looked down, and from time to time there was a flash of lightning from the bottom of the dark island. Something strange could be seen faintly in the electric light, and Modas couldn't believe his eyes. What he saw seemed to be a forest.
A forest growing underground?
