Chapter 222
Chapter 222
What does it mean that time flows faster? ? Zhao Lejie didn't have time to understand how time flowed. After You Su spoke, he immediately sped up his movement speed. "You're talking too scary, aren't you? What the hell!? Speed up your movement speed?"
Ying Chenlin's sight stayed on the radar distance, and in his mind Yuan had already quickly reported the corresponding displacement distance, "It's not that the movement speed has increased in the true sense, but our time has been accelerated."
It's not a matter of moving faster, nor is it a matter of distance.
Within the time consumed by their cognition, the displacement distance exceeded their calculation range. They subconsciously thought that their movement speed had increased, but this was not the case. The movement speed they used was based on the mecha, and it was impossible for the movement speed to increase inexplicably... They could travel a longer distance at the original speed. The problem was not with their mecha itself, but that time had increased in a certain area.
They thought they had walked for three minutes, but in fact they had walked for four and a half minutes.
There were no relatively obvious changes in the radar and magnetic field, and the surrounding environment was even more stable than before the blue heart was resolved. In such a stable environment, it was simply unbelievable that such a thing happened... and it was definitely not something that ordinary pollutant abilities could do.
The scariest thing is that they don’t feel that time is going faster.
"Hurry up and tell Yaobao and the others to run!" Ji Qingfeng shouted.
Wen Yi had already sent an emergency notice to the other party, and was also calling other Shuguang people above the ice cave. After the emergency signal was pressed, Qi Sicheng turned the space speed controller to the maximum without hesitation. The force attached to each mecha was obvious, and everyone ran out with all their might.
Ying Chenlin shifted his gaze away from You Su. He was sure that You Su knew something, but now was not the time to communicate. The most urgent thing was to get out of this area. As he flew out, he saw WHG, GBK and others further behind him, and could only make an emergency call to them: "There are people behind us."
Qi Sicheng immediately said, "I also sent them an emergency notice, and GBK responded to me, saying that all the mecha divisions of the two teams have come out."
"What the hell is going on here?! Isn't it all resolved?" Zhao Lejie's scalp tingled: "Can't we just walk back and get out?"
You Su blasted away the obstacles in front of him with a cannon, clearing the way for everyone. When he heard Zhao Lejie's voice, he said in a slightly cold tone: "Super S pollutant."
"Brother, are you kidding?" Ji Qingfeng asked.
You Su sneered: "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"Did we at Shuguang disturb the nest of super-S pollutants?" asked Zhao Lejie.
Ji Qingfeng: "It seems like we are destined to meet Super S?"
"This contaminant is very dangerous, more dangerous than a black hole." You Suo didn't have time to explain too much. Everyone had to leave this place as soon as possible. He looked at Ying Chenlin next to him and said, "We are 30 kilometers away from the target ahead."
Due to the change in the speed of time flow, they have unknowingly shortened the distance between them and Lin Yao, and now Lin Yao has entered the displacement range of the target.
"Come closer!" Ying Chenlin cut out the space staff, and the spreading red light instantly enveloped all the flying mechas.
The space staff was activated, and all the mechas teleported to Lin Yao's position 30 kilometers away.
The environment in front of him suddenly changed. Ji Qingfeng had just stood firm when he was hit head-on by a light red mecha. The entire mecha was knocked away more than ten meters. He stabilized the thrusters and shouted in confusion: "Damn it! Why is it going in the opposite direction!?"
Ying Chenlin paused, only to see that after Alice, two Dawn mechas just passed by them.
Zhao Lejie: "Oh my god!? Are you running in the wrong direction?"
Seeing them teleporting over, Chi Liz shouted, "Go! Don't stop!"
“How did you get here?” Lin Yao pulled Ji Qingfeng up and shouted hurriedly, “Run, we can’t go any further!”
The situation changed too quickly and everyone had no time to figure out what was happening. When they heard Chi Liz's shout, they could only turn around and run back.
In addition to the sound of the mecha's thrusters, there was also a faint vibration sound in the ice cave, as if it came from the direction of the ice cave exit.
Theo scanned the surrounding environment and shouted urgently: "Yousuo! A large amount of pollutants are approaching!"
"Chen Lin." Yuan's voice reminded at the right time, "The road ahead cannot be walked."
Ying Chenlin's eyes darkened. The way leading to the upper level of the ice cave was blocked.
At the Slared Ice Cave, a large number of roots of plants were destroyed at the fault of the underground ice cave where they came out, revealing a spacious passage leading directly to the underground. At this moment, in the corridor of the first-level ice cave in Slared, the ice tomb of pollutants deep in the corridor that had not been visited by anyone showed signs of melting. The ice attached to the pollutants melted, and the pollutants that were not killed broke through the eternal ice and ran out of the icicles.
Not only that, the vibration sound deep in the tunnel became more and more obvious. The underground pollutants in the Slared Snow Mountain seemed to be driven by something at this moment. The scattered pollutants stopped and locked onto targets that were half above the ice and half below the ice. They immediately launched an attack on all the mechas in the Slared area. ③This③work③is③made③by③
On the snowy surface of Slared, the strong teams that stayed here stopped one after another. Everyone's target changed from the coordinates of the underground escape to the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. The strange gravity pressing on the mecha deepened, and a buzzing vibration occurred on the surface of the snow mountain.
"What's going on down there!?" Colin paused. "Qi Sicheng sent an emergency communication, saying only that special pollutants appeared underground."
"I'm contacting Sister Tang." Lu Xi didn't dare to relax. "They said they have already tested the underground, and the energy source is temporarily-"
She suddenly heard what Shen Xingtang said over there, "No, she said that the pollutants underground have changed."
Hu Luobu's pupils dilated. "Hey, hey, hey, something's wrong. Why are they running back? They're not leaving the cave anymore!"
When Dawn noticed the problem, other strong teams also noticed the difference.
The intelligence networks of all parties were instantly circulated at this time, and the mecha divisions scattered throughout the Slared contaminated area received the news at the same time. The Star Alliance mission system inside all their mechas urgently popped up a notice from the Star Alliance Supreme Command at this time. The prominent red notice made all the mecha divisions stop in their tracks at the first moment.
[A warning to the mecha divisions carrying out the Star Alliance mission: the original 1478th special Star Alliance mission has been terminated ahead of schedule. All points and mission performance records have been sealed. The Star Alliance special recruitment mission is now open. ]
[Recruitment targets: All mecha divisions in the entire star region within Slarede.] ]
[Location: The entire Slared contaminated area. ]
[Recruitment mission: Signs of large-scale lower-level driving of the field type have appeared throughout the entire territory of Slared, and a special energy reaction of the suspected super S-level pollutant [Cronus] has appeared. All mecha divisions are requested to stop the □□ in various areas of Slared. The Star Alliance will provide you with support across the board. ]
Norbert's eyes were filled with seriousness as he said, "...Wow, is it the Kronos that controls time?"
When Alex's eyes locked onto [Cronus], his expression changed slightly, "Is that contaminant hiding here?"
While he was talking, contaminants suddenly burst out from the entrance of the Slared Ice Cave that Norbert was guarding behind him. Norbert, who was quick to react, struck the contaminant with his backhand. After he had distanced himself from the contaminant, he looked down and saw the black shadows surging in the ice cave. "The contaminants in the ground are coming out--"
"We're in trouble." Alex locked onto the group of fleeing mechas underground, his eyes sharp, "The damage to the mechas underground is too severe!"
The Dawn Mecha Warriors were no longer paying attention to anything else. They only saw the suspected super-S-level pollutants displayed inside.
Huo Yan flew towards the ice cave, but he was stopped by the continuously surging pollutants after flying a few steps. Not only the pollutants came from underground, but also a large amount of pollutants from the surface of the snow mountain were attacking the mecha floating in the snow mountain. The surface was already so troublesome, so it would be even more troublesome if the pollutants from the underground chased other people.
The mechas underground have nowhere to escape.
"We need support." Lu Xi was slightly stunned.
“Fuck!” Hu Luobu turned around and ran after the coordinates underground. The mecha’s communicator frantically bounced Zhao Lejie underground: “Hold on, damn it, Old Zhao!”
In the Dawn spacecraft, Shen Xingtang and others were still conducting underground inspections. When the Star Alliance mission was replaced by the recruitment of mecha divisions, the eyes of several people in the control room changed instantly. What was going on with this Slared contaminated area? There were so many pollutants, and why were there super S-level pollutants? Wasn't there an S-level pollutant that failed to evolve before? Here comes another one! ?
And we have the code names! ? Kronos?
Brother Zhang was stunned and said, "Wait! What about the mecha masters underground?
The road was blocked, and now they could only go back. ”
The radar map shows that pollutants in the entire Slared area seem to be rioting on a large scale. This situation is exactly the same as the large-scale downward drive caused by plant roots before, except that the scope is now wider and more terrifying. In addition to the snow-capped mountains, other volcanoes, forests and plains have underground pollution sources of unknown S-level pollutants.
"What did the Third Star Region Border Army say?" Shen Xingtang looked to the side.
"We are mobilizing emergency support. The border troops are resisting the abandoned contaminated area. Now the support has entered the contaminated area." The staff member said, "But the rescue is too difficult. It is nearly 40 kilometers underground. All S-levels near the snow mountain have gathered."
The plant roots can drive ordinary S-class that are lower than its level, but now all the S-class of Slared are dispatched.
We are not afraid of fighting. The elite members of the Star Alliance Mecha Alliance are all here. It is only a matter of time to suppress the riots. But how do we save people? ! Other mecha masters are not afraid of wear and tear, but the mechas underground cannot withstand further wear and tear!
"Boss Shen, we have received communication requests from EM and SLY... as well as PJT SHIELD and others."
The staff member said: "The strong team is contacting us."
In the Border Army starship of the Third Star Region, one mecha after another flew out of the starship and headed towards the Slared contaminated area. The Star Alliance commander stood in front of the energy detection screen. In less than a few minutes, all the information inside Slared had been transmitted to the Border Army.
"Preliminary detection is consistent with Kronos' reaction three years ago. It may have moved from the border to this side three years ago." The soldier reported quickly: "The current location of the energy reaction is the bottom of the Slared Snow Mountain. There are 19 mechas trapped underground. Most of them have a depletion rate of more than 50%. Emergency rescue is needed."
Chronos, a super S-level pollutant on the Star Alliance's wanted list.
It appeared once in a contaminated area on the border three years ago and its whereabouts are still unknown.
The Star Alliance commander had a serious expression on his face, "The damage is too severe, we should give priority to rescuing the trapped mecha division."
-
Underground in Slared, Dawn's group was caught off guard by the pollutants after their displacement. A large amount of pollutants poured down from the entrance of the ice cave. Not to mention moving forward, there were S-level and A-level pollutants among so many of them. With their current consumption, rushing forward would be simply suicide. There was no way for them to go out.
"Stop shooting. We can't get back at all. There's no way to move. There's no target. It's all pollutants. All coming down!" Zhao Lejie was turning around to run when he received the call from Hu Luobu. The most painful thing for him was that he was almost at the exit but was killed by the pollutants. There was no way he could move. He would be crushed to death by the pollutants if he did.
Ying Chenlin turned his head to look at the vibration behind him. He did not see any pollutants, but the dense red dots on the radar were approaching rapidly, faster than they expected. "The gathering was too sudden."
A few minutes before they moved, the surrounding energy and pollutants reacted even more peacefully, as if it exploded in an instant, catching them all off guard.
The Star Alliance's notice was also sent to them through the mission system, but what's the use of sending it to them? They are now trapped underground and can't take care of themselves, so how can they have time to go up and deal with the pollutants! ?
EM secretly dragged his twin brother and could only run back with the people from Dawn. There was also Alice on the run. When Alice joined the Dawn's main communication channel, she heard a chaotic chattering sound.
Ji Qingfeng: "It's just like what Brother You said. It's super awesome. The Star Alliance has even sent a notification."
"Damn, are you guys KID born with super S skills? You guys also blasted out the black hole in Qiu Jin!" Zhao Lejie complained while talking to Hu Luobu, "It was fine before. If we hadn't buried GBK and WHG, would it have woken it up with that explosion?"
"This is none of our business. When we bombed other places, we didn't see any super S!" Ji Qingfeng: "But is the Star Alliance so fast? This pollutant was named Kronos when it came out. Is it the tradition in the Third Star Region to name it first and then study it?"
"The most recent Super S pollutant recorded and solved in the Star Alliance is indeed a black hole, but that doesn't mean that there are only two Super S-level pollutants discovered in the Star Alliance in the past 20 years. Those are the Super S-level pollutants that have been solved in the Star Alliance." You Su's voice was very cold, with a sense of strength that could not be refused. "It is a well-known fact that all areas in the Star Alliance today were brought under the management of the Star Alliance after the borders were opened up."
The most dangerous place in the Star Alliance is generally recognized to be the unknown contaminated border area guarded by the border troops of major star regions.
In that vast unexplored universe, there are a large number of pollutants that have not been recorded in the Covenant database. The black hole that ravaged the Dawn Galaxy was once one of the pollutants that escaped from the border.
In addition to the super-S-level pollutants that have been resolved, there are still a large number of pollutants whose traces have been found but not resolved. Most of these pollutants come from the border. There is only one possibility for the super-S-level pollutants that have names and codes, that is, this super-S-level pollutant has appeared before.
Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned, and the information about Slared that he had read before came to his mind——
The Slared contaminated area is a contaminated area that got out of control after the border riots. Within 10 years, it got out of control so quickly that it could not be resolved through normal means and could only be handed over to the elite from various star regions of the Star Alliance. The outbreak 10 years ago was caused by border riots. The Slarede contaminated area was a riot-polluted area that had been in contact with the border. In this case, border pollutants may indeed flow in.
"Time seems to have returned to normal." Qi Sicheng was always staring at the changes in the seconds on the mecha. The rapidly beating seconds stopped, "The seconds seem--"
Ying Chenlin looked at it and said, "No, the seconds are too slow."
Ji Qingfeng was dumbfounded: "Don't scare me, this thing can speed up and slow down? It's so outrageous!?"
In the cockpit on the other side, You Su looked coldly at the approach of the pollutants from behind. He thought quickly amid the discussion of others. He landed behind all the mechas, and his eyes quickly swept through all the data details inside the mechas. He said coldly: "Kronos's known ability is to control time in a certain area, but its control is not complete."
"Didn't you notice? If the time of all living and dead things in an area is accelerated, we won't be able to notice the speed of time." You Su continued calmly, "The speed of time on the mecha has increased, but our time has not changed."
When everyone heard You Su say this, they immediately reacted.
If all things are in a fast space-time, then what they see and feel at that time is normal, and it is impossible for them to feel that the flow of time has accelerated. In other words, it is the mecha whose time is speeding up now, while the flow of time for humans is still normal.
"It's just that we didn't notice the discrepancy in time changes because we were in sync with the mecha's spirit."
You Su: "That is to say, in all the time now, only our mecha division has not been brought into that time flow."
"It can't be a suspicion." Ying Chenlin suddenly realized: "We may be in the field of super S-level pollutants. It is controlling time."
The time trap was discovered from the very beginning when they were running towards the exit of the ice cave and the time in their mechas sped up. Now they find that the pollutants have blocked the exit. When they want to run back, the flow of time in their space slows down... the speed of other pollutants is fast. This pollutant is manipulating time behind the scenes, trying to get them closer and closer to the pollutant.
"Ah! So are we slow or fast now? Dafeng, tell me in simple terms." Lin Yao looked at Ji Qingfeng for help.
"You don't have to think so complicated. The other time changes are not obvious. The most obvious is the moving mecha." Ji Qingfeng explained in a few seconds: "We are in the territory of that super S-class monster. He slowed down the time in our area and accelerated the time in the pollutant area. The change is not so obvious, but if we keep running like this, we will be caught up by the pollutants in the end."
"This super S-class creature with intelligence wants to kill us." Zhao Lejie said.
The relative changes of various times are difficult to detect, and some stationary objects now cannot see clearly what happens to them due to the flow of time. The most obvious one is the mecha. Their mecha technicians are the luckiest to be able to discover the flow of time. If they don't find the changes imposed by time, they will find it difficult to detect the problem even if they are caught up by pollutants.
Ji Qingfeng: "Brother, how do you know so much about this pollutant?"
Ying Chenlin looked at You Su. It was You Su who first proposed the speed of time flow.
He suddenly remembered that You Su's attitude changed when he raised the question about the accelerated growth in this area. At that time, You Su seemed to ask them to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Interrupt to remind you." A playful female voice appeared in the communication channel, "There is contaminant coming over there."
The moment Alice's voice finished, the ice wall behind everyone was suddenly pierced, and a pollutant suddenly jumped in front of them. Before they could see what the pollutant was, the terrible claws swept towards them.
You Su’s energy cannon fired at the same time, and Feng Gang’s cannon blew away the pollutant in front of him. The next second, another pollutant jumped over.
“Fuck it!” Zhao Lejie thrust out the shield in his hand and blocked the pollutants first. “The mechas with high wear and tear should run first! The ones that can fight should stay behind!”
"Old Zhao." Ji Qingfeng shouted.
Zhao Lejie retreated while holding up his shield: "Don't worry, the shield can hold up. Hu Luobu, did you hear me? Hurry up and get some help!"
"The reinforcements were blocked in the ice cave!" Hu Luobu blew away the pollutants behind him and hurriedly followed the coordinates of Dawn.
Hu Luobu flew to the side and suddenly saw the mecha divisions of the EM, PJT, SHIELD and other teams also moving towards them. All the mecha divisions seemed to be heading towards the direction they were flying.
Among all the mechas, Zhao Lejie was the only one with a tank mecha, and Zhao Lejie's mecha was severely damaged. During the flight, Ying Chenlin pulled a line for Lin Yao to use for medical mecha maintenance. When the line was connected, it was found that the damage was 75%. This damage could not be repaired by the medical mecha at all, and it exceeded the maintenance range of the medical system. "5% damage is not enough to sustain the consumption. Don't join the battle. You can run away with this damage. We can't bring another one."
The EM guns were basically useless, and the Jaeger was still in the cockpit.
If we kill another Lin Yao here, it will be too difficult to carry two mechas to move, and we will not be able to save them.
Ying Chenlin kept looking at the radar. When they were moving, they could see the coordinates of the mecha signals moving higher up on the radar at a distance. Huo Yan and the others were also following them on the ice. The way back was no longer possible as it was completely covered by pollutants. Once they went in, they would be trapped in an irreversible situation of being ambushed on all sides.
A pollutant appeared, and one after another, pollutants seemed to be given a special acceleration, approaching the Dawn group along the volcanic rocks in the ice cave.
Alice switched to the Giant Mountain Hammer, landed next to Zhao Lejie, and used the hammer to smash the pollutants that were rushing towards her. She and You Su were at the last position, one on her left and one on her right. Qi Sicheng and Wen Yi followed closely behind. The Sky Thunder Cannon and the Ice Sniper Cannon locked onto the mecha in front of Zhao Lejie. The five mechas were speeding in the opposite direction to suppress the approach of pollutants from behind, fighting while retreating, and jointly protecting the mechas behind them.
Qi Sicheng: "The two of you go in hiding and explore the way back, and we will cover the rear here!"
Chi Liz and Ji Qingfeng did not dare to waste any time. They immediately went back to explore the way after hearing the order. They had not run so fast before, but now they were trying their best to buy time with the pollutants when retreating.
After they ran back for a while, they met WHG and GBK who had escaped. WHG and GBK came here by displacement, and their movement speed was faster than that of Dawn, which had been slowed down.
When Ji Qingfeng met Bai Xuyan, he subconsciously took a half step back and laughed twice:
"Oh, what a coincidence."
WHG and GBK: “…”
What a coincidence!
Ji Qingfeng: "Let's put aside our differences for now, and fight outside. Life is more important."
"I didn't see you show mercy when you buried the energy pipes." Bai Xuyan sneered. Seeing that they still wanted to move forward, he continued, "Don't even think about going backwards. There are also pollutants following behind."
"It's over!" Ji Qingfeng informed Ying Chenlin: "Chenlin, the pollutants are attacking us from both sides."
In the ice cave at the bottom of Slarede, when a large amount of pollutants poured down from the upper layer, pollutants also appeared in the rear area that was previously unobstructed. When Ying Chenlin heard the message conveyed by Ji Qingfeng, he called up the entire radar map.
A large amount of pollutants behind them came from the plant root channel that Alice had entered originally. There were many branches in the lowest cave, and a large number of Blue Heart roots were spread underground at the time. They had no time to explore the wide cave, and other pollutants might have escaped from unknown channels.
The speed was too fast - the speed of these incoming pollutants even increased the speed of ordinary A-level pollutants, as if their mechas were the only ones in the entire area that had been slowed down, with no way to retreat or move forward.
"Chen Lin?" Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Can't go forward, can't go back." Ying Chenlin thought quickly, and when he thought of something, he stopped the mecha and looked up. "My spatial weapon displacement target can't be used, but WHG's weapon can be used."
Ying Chenlin stopped his mecha at once, and several mechas behind him also stopped.
You Su looked at him, "Ying Chenlin!"
Ying Chenlin was searching the records on the map. They had walked this road before and the terrain data had been recorded by Yuan.
The entire ice surface is not completely flat. In some places, there are bumps and depressions. There are higher places in this layer of the corridor. "Continue one kilometer forward and there is an obvious uphill road. At the highest point of the slope, the entire terrain will rise 200-500 meters."
"Hey, hey." Zhao Lejie was dumbfounded when he heard this, "You don't want to--"
"The roads ahead and behind are blocked." Ying Chenlin said, "We can only dig our way upwards."
EM said incognito: "Sink, this place is more than 30 kilometers from the surface of the ice, nearly 40 kilometers. We will be killed by pollutants before we dig 40 kilometers."
"We don't need to dig 40 kilometers." The WHG team commander said, "As long as we are 20 kilometers from the ground, our weapons will be usable."
The displacement limit of WHG weapons is 20 kilometers. The distance from here to the highest level of the ice cave is 40 kilometers. Theoretically, two displacements are required.
But there is no way to move now, because it is impossible to move all the mechas into the ice layer...
"Are you thinking too much?" Ji Qingfeng scratched his head. "Well, she took more than half an hour to dig more than 300 meters. 20 kilometers means 20 kilometers. We may have worn out the mecha before we reach the location."
"Not necessarily." GBK Captain Claude looked up, "What if we dig both up and down at the same time?"
Everyone was suddenly stunned and looked upwards, and found the coordinates of the mecha appearing 40 kilometers above.
There is a large group of people at the top, and the digging speed is even faster. If two teams dig at the same time, the distance they need to dig is less than 10 kilometers.
"Contact your captain and ask them to open a path above our coordinates." Ying Chenlin tilted his head to look at EM Hide, his voice slightly lowered: "We can only dig a way out before that super S-level pollutant kills us."
The author has something to say:
Here it comes. There will be more updates later.
