Chapter 168 Bloody Carnival (Part 4)
Accompanying hall outside balcony.
"Director?"
"Chief Cash!"
Anushka pressed down on the brain ring, unable to suppress the tentacles that stood up and the pupils that transformed into beasts.
The bug that spoke was one of his lieutenants, John. Ten minutes ago, lieutenant John went to contact the company organizer of 98 City, and now he came to report the news.
Anushka didn't turn her head, closed her eyes, and in the few seconds of silence, there was only one thought in her mind: believe him, believe him, believe him.
Believe in Destini's promise, believe that Destini will handle everything, believe in Destini, don't mess up, and don't make things difficult for him.
believe.
believe.
Anushka brainwashed herself into believing that everything would be fine.
He wanted to clench his fist, but was afraid to crush the brain ring. His fingers froze above the brain ring. "Speak."
"General, according to the latest news, the power outage in half of City 98 and the loss of the Star Network are due to the loss of the sonic key used to lock the city." Adjutant John quickly reported to General Cash: "There are a total of 3,000 sonic keys. The company has checked and found that no key has been downloaded. The company has initially determined that a partner family has breached the contract and has begun self-inspection."
"The company has a main control console that controls all the keys. The information frequencies of the three thousand keys are interoperable. Currently, the company is using the signal from the main control console to transmit contact instructions to our military's information soldiers."
"The company said they were using the master console to unlock the city. However, the key was originally designed as a fortress-type defense mechanism, and the unlocking procedure is very complicated. It will take some time for the company to unlock the city using the master console."
"The fastest is 10 minutes, the slowest is half an hour."
"The ten major military bases outside of 98 City have held the company accountable, demanding that the company hand over the technology family responsible for the development of the 98 City key."
The adjutant frowned, "The lockdown of City 98 is definitely not an accident! The technology family responsible for the key to City 98 is from the Southern Cross Star Region. The heir worm of this family arrived at Carnival Star a week ago and participated in social gatherings with technology families from other star regions. Just now, the company's security team rushed into the hotel reserved by the family to search, and the heir worm of the family actually died in the hotel bathtub!"
"For a week, this South District tech bug has been socializing everywhere, his movements have spread across the top 100 cities, he has met many high-ranking and privileged families, and he has even been to Cat's Eye Sky City. The company cannot immediately detect which force killed this tech bug. But what is certain is that the key technology of 98 cities must have leaked from him. He was silenced by the buyer, and the clues to the mastermind behind the closure of the city were cut off with his death."
Adjutant: "Now, all checkpoints in City 98 that require electronic signal control are locked, and there is no way to open the entrance to the city. In terms of operation, only the Black Hand Worm and the company who hold the key to the city have the right to open and close. The ten armies in the outer city are already investigating which family's bodyguard team is taking action and are keeping a close eye on them."
“What are the consequences of forcibly destroying the city’s defense mechanism?” asked Anushka.
The adjutant said: "If we want to destroy it by force, the city will activate a heavier and more difficult-to-attack mechanical fortress according to the city lock settings. Our armored legion is stuck in the planetary ring port. It will take 40 minutes to force a landing to break through 98 cities. The best option at the moment is to wait for the organizer to remotely lift the city lock."
"Notify the company and have it pass the message to the headquarters of the four armies." Anushka gave the order decisively and arbitrarily, "Inform the four armies that my army will land on the Carnival planet with strong force. There is no need to wait for the four armies to reply. Let our troops guarding the planetary port directly stand up according to the Alpha 7 battle formation. Also, airdrop the Black War God to City 98, and at the same time let the port defense force divide into two mobile squadrons to land with the Black War God."
"If the sky defense tower controlled by the four armies blocks my mecha, let the mobile squadron open fire as a warning." Anushka made the arrangements one by one.
"But diplomatic law..." Adjutant John hesitated.
Anushka sneered.
Adjutant John immediately said, "I'll go and notify the organizer tower."
The adjutant turned and left.
At this time, there was no more sound of quarreling in the accompanying room.
The heads of other branches all took action. Some, like Anushka, arranged for the army outside the city to provide protection, some went to the flower hall upstairs to comfort the senior ministers, and some even personally left the float with their accompanying Hundred Insect Squad, personally walked around the floating racetrack, and worked with the company's security team to control the evacuation of panicked tourists.
Anushka, contrary to her previous aggressive attitude towards war, did not continue to operate in military mode, but first checked the coordinates sent from Fit's account.
He checked the coordinates and found that Destiny's real-time location was... Anushka raised her head suddenly and turned to the southeast direction where the explosion occurred more than ten minutes ago.
Destiny's location is just below the southeast of the floating track!
The floating track is far away from the ground, and it takes Anushka 20 minutes to drive a police motorcycle to get there.
If we take into account the distance between the tall buildings in the city and the smoke barrier at the explosion site, it would take him at least half an hour to reach the coordinates sent by Fite's account, and we have to add the search time... "Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise exploded again in the night sky of 98 City! The dazzling white light like the daybreak expanded again! The white light almost eroded the darkness and became the master.
Anushka looked up and saw that the planetary ring port in the sky had been engulfed by white light. There was not a single star in the sky. The white light of the day was like a piece of swan velvet cloth, rapidly covering the night.
Soon, shadows appeared in the sky. The shadows swam in groups, trying to penetrate the white light and swim into the atmosphere of the Carnival Planet.
That is a sign that a special alien species is destroying the planet's defenses and the interstellar crystal wall!
Anushka stared at the bright light in the sky, her nictitating membrane moving frequently, and soon concluded based on combat experience: 10 minutes! The group of special monsters will break through the wall and rush into the Carnival Planet!
There was not enough time for him to go back and forth... Anushka's heart was beating heavily, at an odd frequency, and it was hurting him a little. It was a strange change in heart rate.
In the past 24 years, Anushka has never experienced such a situation where she is free of injuries but feels uncomfortable.
"Destiny... Destiny." He called out twice unconsciously, as if he was affected by something invisible, and his concentration and awareness were rarely focused.
"Boom!" Another explosion came from the sky, and the bright white light continued to expand. At the same time, countless panicked screams spread from around the floating racetrack.
Anushka came back to her senses in shock and looked in the direction of the sound. The vehicles crowded on both sides of the floating racetrack became chaotic, and the tourists scattered and flew out in a rush.
Visitors also realized that the daylight was not fireworks, but the unique daylight flash when the monster tide exploded, and loss of control and panic spread instantly!
Anushka tried her best to control her concentration and sent a message to Jack who was rushing to the rendezvous point: [What did Fate ask you to do, why did you lose contact, and why did the rovers you brought over suffer 90% casualties? ]
Anushka's duty and warrior instinct burned in him. The rapid invasion of the aliens forced him to turn his attention back to military mode and control the accompanying army of warriors to form a defense wall to protect the city and the high-ranking officials on the float.
But on this planet, the only being Anushka cares about and wants to protect is Destiny.
If the Monster Tide had landed an hour later, and the 98 cities had not locked down the branch leaders of the ten armies, causing the legion to miss the best time to respond, Anushka would have gone to pick up the couple in person no matter what.
But there are no ifs. 98 Cities locked down the top ten commanders. Without the personal authorization of the branch chief, the legions under them would be unable to move the armored regiments and battleships. Without the command of the branch chief with rich combat experience, the chaos of the battle formations under them would only delay the combat opportunity.
If you miss the opportunity to fight, the alien tide will invade and burn the customs area. If the jump point of the customs area is polluted by poisonous star energy, all the black hole jump points in the star area will be closed to the North Pole.
By then, it was too late for him to send Destiny away.
Anushka's facial masseter muscles twitched slightly, her breathing trembled, and she sent another message to her adjutant Jack: [Report by voice, finish within five minutes, and only say the key points! The Alien Tide will break through the wall in ten minutes. Once you receive Fate, take him away from City 98 and head to the alien port. The mobile force will pick you up.]
Anushka switched back to command mode and gave the core order to the half of the team left behind at the planetary port: [Contact Adjutant Jack's team and escort the bugs protected by Adjutant Jack out of the Arctic Customs District and head to the branch group's headquarters star field! ]
Afterwards, Anushka began to operate the command mode, re-planning the battle formation, commanding the accompanying insect team to contact other army teams. Soon, a large insect battle formation mixed with soldiers from the ten major armies was formed around the float.
"Ting." A message from Adjutant Jack quickly popped up above Anushka's military mode, and he clicked it immediately.
"Tonight's operation is special, and sir asked me to bring 400 security guards with me." Jack's quick report came through Anushka's earphone.
Jack's report voice is AI voice, which is the AI voice playback after the text is input.
"The target of this mission includes the Techno-Virus Party and the Night Walkers. The Night Walkers of the target are spread all over the mission area, and our security personnel are dispersed. The target occupies the information center of the mission area and controls all the circuits and mainframes in the mission area. The team I lead will assault the information center, and the security teams led by other brothers will confront the Night Walkers head-on in the dark area."
"The situation was difficult to fight. Nocturnal species have a strong advantage in the dark. At the beginning, our security team had the upper hand. But for some reason, at about one o'clock, the technological support behind you was disconnected, and the security team's advantage in the battle was instantly reversed. There were too many nocturnal species, and they kept rushing in from outside the city."
Anushka instantly captured the key words: The night creatures that kept rushing in from outside the city? When the 98th city was locked by the key?
The news that Adjutant John had just reported flashed through Anushka's mind. The veins on Anushka's forehead were throbbing. Destiny was actually making a deal with the mastermind behind the murder of the South District Tech Bug!
"Of the 400 insect teams, only my team survived because we raided the information center, which was even weaker in weapons."
"After the battle, I lost contact with him, so I could only search for him based on the direction of the locator on him. I was ambushed by nocturnal creatures along the way, and I am the only one left alive in my team. I am not sure about the other scattered teams, but I will do my best to search for him! Bring him to the star port!"
Anushka didn't want to hear this bullshit of an oath at all! But at this moment he couldn't get away and had no choice but to command Jack remotely.
"Go to this coordinate." Anushka linked the coordinate data sent by Fit's account to Jack's dialogue box in real time, and gave instructions in voice, "Remember, his life is your life. You have to protect him as you would protect yourself."
"If he lives, you can live."
…
Jack listened to the voice coming from the headset, which was cold, fierce, and arbitrary, as if all the rules of the world must live according to his words.
The arrogance of a young and arrogant person is as hot as magma.
In the darkness, Jack pulled the trigger expressionlessly.
"Swish—" a silenced gun fired.
In the darkness, the Wanderer who was crouching and lurking in front of Jack groaned, staggered a few times defenselessly, and fell to the ground. The Wanderer turned around in fear, and saw clearly with night vision that the person who fired the cold shot was actually the only surviving adjutant of the team!
Their mission was full of unexpected events. They experienced large-scale signal shielding by enemy insects, and their internal channel frequency was hacked three times. The rover team that attacked the information center suddenly lost contact with the safe internal signal, and their position and formation were inexplicably exposed in the dark. They were killed by a large number of crazy nocturnal species, and only two insects were left in the team to successfully retreat.
Who would have thought! Before he was about to return to the land vehicle display gallery, he would be shot in the back by one of his superior's trusted lieutenants!
"Jie...!" The Wanderer's vision blurred rapidly. The bullet hit his neck and penetrated deep into the gland. For the Zerg, it was no less than a gunshot to the center. He trembled and said, "...you...want to betray...the leader..."
"Swish—" The silenced gun rang again, and another bullet pierced through the Wanderer's head.
Jack held up his gun and watched the last wanderer close his eyes in hatred.
Betrayal? Jack reloaded his gun and laughed in his heart, how could it be betrayal?
I faithfully carried out Mr. Fate's instructions and led the team to control the nocturnal species in the information center.
Next, I have to faithfully carry out Kash's orders, do my best to rescue Fate, become the only rescue, stand on the only podium, and receive the trust reward from Fate and Kash.
As for the 400 insect security team members who were accompanying the team, there would only be one line of summary in their paper reports: carrying out the mission, being jealous of the night species, the night species rushed forward and dragged them to death together.
After all, the night is the home turf of nocturnal species, which is a common sense recognized by the whole universe. The mission target’s camp also has a technology group. The technology group turns on signal shielding, and the communication channels of most rovers suddenly fail. Then, the failed communication signals expose their positions one after another. Once the disadvantaged nocturnal species seize the opportunity, isn’t it normal for them to choose to die together?
Jack took off his command bracelet and formatted all the commands, including the command to proactively shut down the virus firewall of the team system.
He pulled out the chip from the command bracelet, fired two shots and shattered and burned them, then looked up at the sky. The daytime invaded by aliens continued to occupy the night forever, like a huge white lamp.
"God is helping me. It's so bright in the daytime that the nocturnal species won't be able to move forward even with follow-up support." Jack muttered to himself. He squatted down, untied the sniper rifle from his teammate, and put it on his back.
Jack took out his usual computing ring, checked Fate's real-time coordinates, and immediately set off, spreading his wings towards the coordinates, and with a shake of his scaly wings, he sped out.
The nocturnal creatures and roamers in the entire Area 4 were fighting each other, causing countless casualties. Halfway through the battle, half of the city lost power, machinery malfunctioned, countless gates could not be used, and sound waves of explosions were heard from the direction of the land vehicle hall.
Jack didn't know if this was another work of Fate, but before he led his team away from Fate, he saw clearly who the Zerg was that was doing business with Fate.
The cat-eyed bug, one of the three chief etiquette officers, the most talked-about bug of the past week, Gobelil Berlin.
Jack joined the Wanderer as a civil servant and initially worked in the secretarial department, where he read through the public archives of many large families.
Gobelier Berlin comes from a privileged family. The family characteristics make their bones special and also give them extremely superior recovery ability. Berlin has made outstanding achievements in medical technology.
However, this family has never produced any military daughters, and they do not participate in armed forces.
At this time, the nocturnal enemies were killed, and the living ones were forced into the shadow of the building by the tidal daylight and could not move. The medium-sized Fate and a fragile special-sized one were negotiating face to face. There were even explosions in the negotiation direction, which clearly showed that the negotiation was not going well. Maybe there would be a conflict?
Jack hurried on, his heart nearly jumping out of his throat, blood and excitement coursing through his body.
He hoped that Fate would be injured in an operation and would need his assistance and treatment. Now, everything was developing in the direction he hoped.
In just two minutes, Jack flew close to the land vehicle corridor. When he took a look from a distance, he was immediately shocked by the terrible condition of the corridor!
The 10-kilometer-long exhibition hall was engulfed in flames! The explosion was more serious than he had imagined!
The glass exhibition halls on both sides of the chopstick-shaped corridor were full of black charred marks after the explosion. Countless wires were sticking out from the land, corridors, and walls, as if a large-scale current short circuit occurred here, causing a shocking explosion.
As soon as the thick smoke from the explosion site rose, it was blown away by the strong wind blowing down from the suspended driveway, so Jack did not immediately realize the severity of the explosion.
What was even more incredible to Jack was that in the sea of fire, there were thousands of land vehicles used for exhibitions that started to rush forward. Like ferocious beasts, they sprinted and turned along the corridors, the second-floor exhibition halls, the third-floor exhibition halls, and the rooftops, chasing and blocking in a certain direction in the sea of fire.
Jack flapped his wings, increased his flying distance, and flew over the sea of fire. He adjusted his vision and soon found the Zerg being chased and intercepted by the ground vehicles in the flames.
It was Gobelil Berling.
The Belin insect tribe was in a horrible state, as if it had been injured in the explosion. At this moment, it was in a half-insect beast state, half-human, with a skeleton stretched to nearly 3 meters and holding a black box in its hand.
The Belin worm was spreading its wings and gliding low in the sea of fire, dodging the impact of various vehicles as much as possible, and flew to the end of the corridor, trying to leave the sea of fire.
However, all the land vehicles in action were in suicide mode and stopped this Behring.
Thousands of land vehicles displayed on the third and fourth floors smashed through the glass and fell from the sky, with shells accurately hitting the low-altitude gliding path of the Behring bug, forcing Gobelil Behring to fly around and be trapped in the sea of fire, unable to move forward or backward.
Jack hung in mid-air and observed for a while, his expression becoming strange.
The mobility of those land vehicles was weakening. Some vehicles slowed down and stopped a few meters away from the booth, while some vehicles chased at high speed on the ground, firing rope guns to capture Gobelil Berlin. The rope gun suddenly failed halfway through the shooting, and the front of the vehicle lost control and skidded, instantly causing a chain collision with the vehicle behind it!
Jack did not see any drivers climbing out of the wrecked vehicles, and he guessed that these exhibition cars were probably remotely controlled by Fate's technology team, trying to control the range of movement of the Bellin Zerg.
Now, the mobility of these vehicles has dropped drastically. Is there something wrong with Fate's technology team?
Jack seized the time to search for Fate's coordinates. He could observe the coordinate numbers for a few seconds and then compare them with the scene. Jack frowned and his eyes moved from the exhibition hall with fires everywhere to the low-flying Bellin bugs.
How come Fate's coordinates overlap with this Gobelil Berling?
Jack checked the coordinates again and again in disbelief. His heart skipped a beat and he realized something. His eyes instantly fixed on the giant black box in Gobelil Berlin's hand.
It was a display case for large batteries used in land vehicles.
1.6 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.
Jack's eyes changed.
If it was another Wanderer here today, this Wanderer would never have continued to act. Many Wanderers come from centuries-old families with impressive resumes and family social connections with Cat's Eye. They would not have attacked one of the powers that be in Cat's Eye without clear instructions.
But here today is Jack without his family.
Jack flapped his wings and hovered high in the air. The frequency of the flapping of his hands and scaly wings was terrifyingly steady. He put the sniper rifle on his shoulder, opened the sight, and aimed at Gobelil Berlin who was flying low and circling a kilometer away.
Jack is not a mecha soldier, and he cannot compare to the high-level armed soldiers in the team in terms of physical endurance and combat talent. But there is one military skill that can be improved through repeated training and muscle memory.
Jack pulled the trigger, and the sniper bullet shot out, instantly piercing the sea of fire! One shot hit Gobelil Berlin's left rib on the back!
The shot was accurate, just like Jack's memory. Bellinella, a three-chambered physiology, two of which are located in the ribs.
Jack's long-range sniper shot shattered the blood chamber on Gobelil Berlin's left back. The long sniper bullet was fierce and poisonous, with the effect of an explosive bullet, which directly knocked the thin black shadow down and made him unable to get up again!
Jack estimated that half of Behring's ribs and spine must have been broken at this time. Even if it was a Behring worm, it would take about half an hour to heal before it could regain consciousness.
He spread his wings and glided into the air, aiming at the handle of the black box that Belin was tightly holding, and swooped down like an eagle.
When Jack took away the black box, he found that Bellinger had not fainted, which made Jack's neck go cold.
His spine and blood chambers were shattered by a sniper bullet with explosive effect, but he didn't faint? ?
Jack's scalp tingled, and he was suddenly glad that he had no team markings on his body and still had a tactical mask on his face.
He immediately spread his wings to increase distance and flew away from the scene.
The moment he flew out of the sea of fire, Jack heard a loud noise of a huge object collapsing from the sea of fire behind him, and he turned around to take a look.
All the vehicles chasing Berlin stopped, and the headlights and high beams went out in the blink of an eye, as if the power was cut off.
Jack felt something strange and he increased his altitude again, trying to fly towards the star port.
But! Just as Jack was about to fly away from Area 4, the flash of daylight in the sky suddenly disappeared, and darkness returned.
Jack's face changed drastically and he looked up at the sky.
Night fell, and there was a big hole in the sky.
An eyeless, earless and noseless Lord Beast poked its head out of the giant cyclone hole. In the blink of an eye, countless strange beast heads sprouted from the giant hole in the sky, densely packed like densely holed mushrooms growing on rotten matter!
Countless monsters penetrated into the atmosphere of the Carnival Planet and roared. The poisonous star energy radiation spreading from the monsters' mouths formed a rainstorm, tearing through the clouds and falling down.
Damn it! Damn it! The Monster Tide actually landed so quickly! ? What's going on! Jack was terrified!
To make matters worse, at this moment, Jack heard another rustling sound of flapping wings a few kilometers away.
Jack's face instantly lost all color.
Darkness has returned, and the nocturnal species have regained their home advantage.
Jack immediately chose a high-rise shelter nearby and rushed in to avoid the large-scale search of the nocturnal species.
He quickly found a soundproof warehouse on the 18th floor of the building.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Jack immediately placed the huge black box carefully on the ground, quickly searched for the treatment supplies and various sedatives in his tactical bag, reached out to break the combination lock of the box with one hand, and opened the communication mode of the brain ring with the other hand, and sent a message to the superior: "I have received the call, sir, but the plan has changed. The mission target support negotiated with Mr. Fate has arrived in the fourth area one after another. We are trapped here, requesting support..." "Squeak—"
The black box made the unique sound of a tactical equipment box being unpacked, revealing Ya curled up and sleeping inside.
Jack's voice stopped abruptly.
However, his intelligent brain ring did not stop. A voice message popped up from the marked superior's account, and the auxiliary AI played it automatically.
"How is Fate? Is Fate injured? Where are you now?"
Jack fell to the ground, covered his mouth with one hand, and stared into the box.
In the darkness, Fate was curled up and sleeping, with a long, silver-scale tail that was glowing faintly curled under his thighs.
"Jack." The second voice from the commander was icy. "Get back to my question, soldier."
