Chapter 584 Wu Qi
In front of the passage leading to the underground entrance of the building, Guan Shangjing was checking the specific casualties.
Previously, Deputy Director Song Zicheng was responsible for leading the team to capture the split body, but he failed to come back in the end and was probably dead outside.
This resulted in him losing a valuable assistant.
Before the war, he was accompanied by the remaining twelve captains, but now more than half of them have died. Now there are only five people left, and the total number of members under him does not exceed fifty.
There are still about twenty elite garrison troops surrounding him, and these people are the last defense force of the company building.
Although there may still be many armed members in the building responsible for counterattack, they are almost unable to resist the attack of biological combat weapons.
From the sounds coming from the boundary, it can be judged that people are constantly being killed and injured, and the signs of various departments of the company marked on the boundary are dimming every few moments, which means that those places have been lost, and this trend is spreading at a very fast speed. Obviously, the remaining people will not be able to hold on for much longer.
There is still a 30-man garrison on the board of directors that is intact and has decent combat effectiveness, but they are responsible for protecting the directors and cannot be mobilized.
Just as he was trying to adjust his tactics and figure out how to delay the situation for a longer period of time, the voice of Director Yingwei rang out from the world:
"Director Guan Shang, how much longer can you hold on?"
Guan Shangjing answered truthfully: "Director Yingwei, even if the forces in my hands abandon the key position and retreat, they can only support us for half an hour at most.
If those people join the battle... I'm not sure how long we can hold out, maybe only a few minutes."
"I understand. Director Guan Shang, the board of directors requires you to keep those people out at all costs. Ferris Wheel Company will not collapse today."
Guan Shangjing's heart moved. He roughly realized what the company wanted to do. Suddenly, he felt a little hopeful and said in a serious tone, "I understand!"
At this moment, in a shaft-like space underground in the Ferris Wheel Company, there existed a gigantic creature. Most of its body was covered by a curtain painted with patterns of the Gaotian Sect. Only from the exposed limbs could one see that its body was bronze in color, and there was a faint fluorescent light flickering all over its body, which seemed to be brightening and dimming with its breathing.
There are neatly arranged interfaces throughout its body, which are connected to the life vessels extending from the walls of the well and other places.
And you can see that at this moment, there is mist spraying down from above, and some kind of green-yellow liquid is entering its body through the blood vessels. This is the high-energy nutrient agent stored by the Ferris Wheel Company being injected into its body.
With the continuous transportation, the shriveled tentacles that were originally hanging on the ground are becoming fuller, and the green fluorescence on their bodies is becoming brighter and brighter. After ten minutes or so, the tentacle suddenly swung upwards, hooked around the climbing rod above the well, and then pulled the body slowly upwards.
Inside the building, the combat creatures from the three departments had already controlled most of the Ferris Wheel Building and had found the underground entrance. They were now attacking there fiercely, while Guan Shangjing and his men were desperately resisting there.
Xu Chan stood in the hall, watching the situation inside through the information field. If he had not been concerned about the narrow terrain there and the possibility that the other party had buried explosives, he would not have allowed them to hold out for so long.
But if the other side can use it, they can use it too. After biological weapons equipped with self-explosive explosives rushed forward one after another, the casualties on the opposite side gradually increased. They could only use the curved terrain to retreat and resist, and it seemed that they could not hold on for much longer.
The modified creatures released are easy to breed and have no intelligence. They only need to know one command: to carry explosives. People who die in battle will receive compensation, but the modified creatures do not need this, so it does not matter how many of them die.
After watching the attack for about twenty minutes, he saw that the other party had retreated to an underground hall and had obviously reached a key position.
Just as he was about to slow down and take over this place in one go, he suddenly felt the ground shake violently, and then again soon after.
He immediately became alert and said through the interface: "Attention, abnormal situation, everyone, retreat!"
This sentence is both a reminder to the teammates present and an order to the troops in the rear.
The reaction forces were well prepared and immediately retreated.
But even though the movement was fast, it still seemed a little slow. At the bottom of the building, a powerful spiritual force suddenly burst out.
This spiritual power spread out around like a substance, instantly brushing through their bodies, and then rushing towards a farther place.
The five people present had already made preparations, but even so, except for Xu Chan, the others couldn't help but shake their bodies, and their heads felt dizzy for a moment. They took several steps back before they could stand firm.
At this moment, the troops closest to the Ferris wheel building were two kilometers away. However, even so, a large group of people in front lost consciousness in an instant and fell down like dominoes.
Not to mention those biological weapons, which were almost all cleared out within this range, and the flying insects in the sky fell like rain, soon forming a thick layer on the ground.
Xu Chan's face was serious at the moment. He felt the ground continue to shake, and it seemed that something was coming up from below at an extremely fast speed. So he repeated, "Everyone, get ready."
Shortly after he said this, a few cracks suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, where the Ferris wheel was depicted. Then, with a loud bang, brick and stone fragments exploded outward.
An octagonal deep well was revealed at the original place, with a pitch-black hole at the bottom, and it was impossible to tell where it led to.
You can see a green tentacle like a long vine swinging there, and finally it falls down with a bang, and the hard hook on it suddenly touches the hard ground.
Immediately afterwards, one could hear rustling sounds of friction and some kind of low hissing coming from this bottomless passage that was like a well.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Just over half a minute later, a huge creature crawled out from inside and then landed on the ground intact.
This is a thing that looks like a standing crustacean insect, about ten meters tall, with a streamlined body and a slightly pointed tail.
Its head and shoulders are covered with a white exoskeleton shaped like a samurai's helmet from old times. A pair of tentacles several meters long extend from the top of its head. These tentacles seem to be flexible and retractable, with flower-shaped ends.
The head is slightly flat, with sharp edges, and it seems that it can be rotated flexibly and at will. From the face to the chest area, there are rows of insect-like compound eyes, which are now emitting a faint green light.
Its broad shoulders stretched out, and its two long, whip-like forelimbs hung down to the ground. It had relied on these two forelimbs to climb up just now.
Its waist is slightly narrow, connecting two pairs of strong feet at the front and back, with some tentacles on both sides to assist with balance and perception. Each leg has multiple joints and ends in a thick sole with claws and attachment structures for gripping the ground, and a slender exoskeleton for auxiliary support, clearly capable of adapting to various terrains.
Wu Qi, the active consciousness of the Ferris Wheel Company.
Xu Chan looked up and stared at the thing. The four people behind him couldn't help but step back a few steps, their faces full of vigilance. After all, this was an instinctive defensive psychology, and they couldn't ignore this behemoth.
Xu Chan stood firmly in place, and a faint light flickered on his fist.
Although his size was insignificant compared to this thing, he could clearly feel that this active consciousness might be very strong, but it did not exceed their current level.
This is because this active consciousness is too young, having only been cultivated for ten years, perhaps longer, but never more than fifteen years.
At the same time, active consciousness requires a huge amount of energy and special substances to nourish. Ferris Wheel Company does not have the strength and channels, but if it can join the consortium, these will not be a problem.
Therefore, if we give this company some time, it will really be able to push the active consciousness to a higher level. Although it is a little difficult to deal with now, it is not impossible to deal with. It is even the best time to deal with it.
At this moment, he said the same words for the third time: "Everyone, get ready!"
Inside the Defense Ministry's Combat Command Center, after enduring the instantaneous impact just now, the light screen dimmed for a long time, but now it finally recovered, and the scenes outside and inside the Ferris Wheel Building could be seen.
But even so, the images presented were intermittent, as if they were strongly disturbed by something.
Commissioner Liang first glanced at the large number of fallen soldiers around the building, and then looked at the ferocious-looking Wu Qi with a solemn expression.
The huge size naturally brings huge spiritual power, and field information usually relies on active consciousness to operate. Its information transmission can often cover a range of tens of kilometers, so the impact of this spiritual power is actually not exaggerated.
However, except for active consciousnesses like Hongfu who are inclined towards combat, other active consciousnesses must come outside in order to demonstrate their combat effectiveness.
This is the real problem they need to solve. Only by solving it can they completely destroy the Ferris Wheel Company.
Although the liaison officers and staff present had heard of active consciousnesses before and often dealt with them, they had never actually seen one. After seeing its true appearance, they were speechless for a moment and were shocked by the strange shape and huge size of this organism.
At this moment, the sentry suddenly spoke: "Commissioner, there is an external encrypted channel searching."
After hearing this, Commissioner Liang was a little surprised and immediately said, "Bring it in."
After the channel was connected, he said in a deep voice, "I am Liang Guanghai."
After listening to what was said for a while, his expression became serious and he said, "Are you sure?"
After a while, he responded, "Thank you for your department's assistance. I understand. I'll take a look at your proposed schedule later. Our goals are the same."
