Chapter 398
Chapter 398
The lightsaber that was originally embedded in the body of the wooden octopus, together with the flaming sword that was stabbed into the side, completely pierced the wooden octopus from two directions. The vines that were waving around lost all ability to struggle at this moment. A large amount of green blood fell from the polluted body, and the vines that were trying their best to grow outwards did not regenerate.
The moment the wooden octopus was pierced, the ground of the entire command ship began to shake violently. The cold air system and gravity system that were barely maintained in the energy cabin collapsed at this moment, and the out-of-control cold current in the cabin froze the entire energy cabin.
Higher up, Kronos stationed on the Tree of Life had eyes filled with rage. The protective layer of fog surrounding it seemed to have lost its support point and gradually dissipated under the artillery fire of the border soldiers. The outer side of the HGF-445 orbital core energy source was gradually exposed in front of everyone.
The border soldiers who were discussing the location of the wooden octopus in the spaceship turned around hastily, and the soldier shouted anxiously: "Commander! The fog seems to have dissipated!"
Wei Changyang's expression remained unchanged as he quickly walked to the wide field of view of the spacecraft. The previously paralyzed aiming system was automatically calibrated at this time. The heavy fog seemed to gradually dissipate in the airflow of the spacecraft and the mecha thrusters.
At this moment, the internal systems of all warships and spacecraft inside and outside HGF-445 were restored one by one, a flood of information poured into the central system, and all mecha divisions inside and outside the fog regained control of the orbital signals. The signal system and the warship's long-range weapon system, which were previously restricted by the thick fog, regained their pinpoint attack functions when the thick fog disappeared, and the border troops, whose combat power had been limited by half, received relief.
"The fog has cleared!"
"Signal restored!!"
"Hurry up, re-lock the positions of all mecha pilots!"
"The fog has cleared!! We can use large weapons!"
"All mecha divisions retreat, change the attack system!" Wei Changyang didn't bother to figure out the situation of the white mist dissipating, "Spaceships and warships prepare missiles, attack all pollutants and the core point Chronos!"
A clear data network appeared completely. Yousui, who was located outside the command ship, used artillery shells to disperse the pollutants that were in a state of panic. The gun barrel pierced fiercely into the cracks that had long been pried open on the command ship, and blasted everything away along with the petrified deep water on the surface. The moment the door was pried open, the cold wind from the inner floor blew towards him. You Su went in without hesitation, so fast that even Luo Xu who followed closely could not stop him.
Inside the command ship, Ying Chenlin pulled the Flowing Fire Sword out of the wooden octopus's body. Green blood splattered all over the field of vision. He cut the vines tied around his waist, broke the ice, and staggered two steps as he fell from a great height. He used his peripheral vision to search for Lin Yi's position in the heavy fog. ▓This▓work▓is▓made▓
The mecha with a broken arm was still outside the transport pipeline. Ying Chenlin's hearing had not yet fully recovered from the shock. He put away his sword and flew to Lin Yi's side, raising his hand to lift up the incapable mecha.
The error signal on the visual screen disappeared little by little. Ying Chenlin raised his hand to turn off the alarm. When he raised his hand, he suddenly saw blood. He raised his hand and wiped it. The blood was coming out of his nostrils and ears. His palms were full of blood.
Before the wooden octopus died, it released an energy shockwave, which completely swept across the sky. He was too close.
Ying Chenlin's eyes froze. His blurry hearing made it difficult for him to distinguish the sounds around him, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged up.
At this time, it seemed that the owner's physical signs were abnormal, and the intelligent mecha Yuan autonomously changed the voice mode to text -
[Life signs have been detected in the mecha's cabin, Shen Lin, he is safe. ]
[Your mental strength has reached the warning value of 6900, the local consumption of the mecha has reached 55%, and the overall consumption has reached 45%. ]
General Lin was located inside the mecha's internal protection system. The defense system that was turned on in an emergency mitigated the close-range shock wave for him, but he could no longer move and had no strength to respond to the child.
Ying Chenlin gritted his teeth, pulled out a broken vine from the ground, and tied the mecha to his back.
He had to go out and take General Lin out with him.
The cold current in the cabin almost reached its extreme. The already abandoned command ship sounded the alarm at this time. Ying Chenlin knew that this was the alarm of the command ship. There were only 55 minutes left before the command ship exploded! He carried Lieutenant General Lin's mecha forward and looked up to see that the cabin in the distance had been covered by deep water.
The cracks on the command ship became brittle under the impact of the energy waves, and a large amount of deep water spread in from the cracks. Ying Chenlin's sight swept across the deep water that continued to seep into the cabin wall, and their way out was completely blocked.
Yuan's text messages were still scanning prompts, and the deep water surging over from the side had risen by nearly one meter. Ying Chenlin lifted the mecha on his back higher and used the thrusters to barely control the distance. His brain was quickly thinking of ways to get out, and he scanned the broken bulkhead of the command module in the shrinking space.
This location is not good, it's too close to the inside, and everyone outside is probably petrified.
An ordinary cabin can be destroyed, but if the outer layer has been petrified, the speed at which it breaks the deep-water petrified layer is much slower than the speed at which the deep water erodes the mecha.
After a moment of hesitation, the cabin on the side was broken again, and a large amount of deep water poured down from a high place, all over the mechas of Ying Chenlin and Lieutenant General Lin. The influx of deep water immediately covered the mechas up to their knees.
[Warning—the body is wearing out, overall wear and tear is 46%-47%…]
There is no way out... Ying Chenlin looked back and saw that all the transportation pipelines behind him were broken.
At this moment, the command ship's bulkhead was covered with layers of deep water. A huge flash of lightning broke through the deep water layer, and blew up the entire petrified deep water layer at close range with tremendous destructive power. An energy cannon powerfully pierced through the petrified deep water, and the exploded wind circle, together with the petrified deep water layer, blasted a small hole.
In the small hole, an arm of a mecha pierced through the muzzle of the wind and thunder cannon, and half of the mecha's body swam through the deep water. The deep water that was still spreading almost poured over his mecha. He stretched out his hand to Ying Chenlin, "Ying Chenlin! Come here!
! ”
Ying Chenlin could not hear the sound, but when he saw the familiar muzzle, he suddenly changed direction. He struggled to wade through the deep water and grabbed the hand that stretched out from the wall with one hand. Before the expanding hole shrank, he decisively handed Lieutenant General Lin on his back to the other party and said, "Take Lieutenant General Lin out first."
The mecha with the broken arm was handed to You Su. The man in the cockpit's eyes were filled with tears when he saw the broken arms. He pulled the mecha with the broken arm over. Luo Xu and others who rushed over behind him hurriedly took over Lieutenant General Lin.
The command module began to shake violently again at this time. Ying Chenlin shook all over. The thrusters in the deep water seemed to be petrified, and he could not jump up anymore. When he was about to separate from the high rift, You Suo's hand suddenly reached down deeply. He bent half of his body, carrying the deep water on his shoulders, and grabbed Ying Chenlin's hand again: "Don't let go, Chenlin."
"Hold on tight." You Su groaned, enduring the tremendous pressure on his back. He turned the muzzle of the gun in a tricky posture, aiming it at the accumulated water beside Ying Chenlin. Using the propulsion of the wind, he forcibly pulled Ying Chenlin out of the deep water.
The two mechas slammed into the corridor on the other side. Luo Xu, who had already carried Lieutenant General Lin on his back, turned around and said, "Hurry up, the road ahead is too deep."
You Su held Ying Chenlin's mecha with one hand, shielding him from the deep water that kept splashing around. Several mechas rushed out from the transport tube of the command ship that was collapsed by the deep water, and the deep water attached to their bodies weighed down their bodies. He shouted at Ying Chenlin twice, but the latter did not respond.
Theo received the message from Yuan: "Yousu! Yuan said the machine was damaged, and Chen Lin might have been affected by the shock wave, so he can't hear clearly for the time being."
There was a trace of astonishment in You Su's eyes: "Ying Chenlin?"
The sound information was converted into text. Ying Chenlin wiped the blood off his face and said, "It's a temporary effect. It can be cured in the medical cabin after we get out. Maybe you should speak louder... otherwise I might not notice it."
Luo Xu rushed out first, carrying Lieutenant General Lin on his back. When he looked up into the sky, he saw the warships and missiles attacking from high altitudes. All the mecha divisions retreated to the periphery. The dense fog in the high altitudes slowly dissipated at this time. "The fog in the high altitudes is about to dissipate."
The mecha soldiers who finally came out from the deep water of the command ship also saw the situation on high ground. Lin Yi opened his eyes with difficulty. Five days of thick fog were slowly dissipating. Right in front of the huge command ship, the HGF-445 track, which was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance, was full of petrified traces, pollutants, and broken spacecraft fragments.
"Tell Wei Changyang..."
You Su was slightly startled when he heard Lin Yi's voice.
Luo Xu: "Lieutenant General Lin!"
"Kronos doesn't have enough energy... The wooden octopus is its last cover. Without this cover, it has no protection to hide from the public." Lin Yi's voice appeared intermittently in the channel, "Kronos has lost its cover. The vanguard troops have set all their energy sources to explode and destroyed most of the energy points on HGF-445. The energy it can gather has been reduced."
Taino's self-destruction tore a crack in Kronos. Now the border troops have blocked the passage on the other side of the crack. The dead Taino's space crack can no longer provide Kronos with a steady stream of pollutant troops at will. Now the wooden octopus that controls the thick fog in the signal circle has been killed, and the sovereignty of the battle has returned to the border troops.
The wooden octopus was killed too easily. Killing it in advance meant breaking the signal shackles for the border troops in advance and liberating the warships and spaceships.
Lin Yi's voice was weak. He raised his eyes with great difficulty and looked up. "We have consumed it a lot in the past five days. It did not choose to flee this place despite the explosions of multiple warships and spacecraft. It may have no way out."
For five days, HGF-445 was shrouded in fog, and countless border troops' efforts were put into it. Now that we have the jammer, warships, spaceships and mechas will no longer be hindered. Now is the best time, and all that remains is to kill Kronos.
Luo Xu hurriedly conveyed Lin Yi's words to Wei Changyang at the front line.
"Don't talk if you don't have the strength." You Su suddenly said, "Don't speak in such a tone of resignation. Wei Changyang knows that your adjutant has told him everything."
Ying Chenlin was held alone by You Su. He looked at You Su's lit voice signal and his ears barely recognized some sounds.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of something and said in a daze: "In front, on the warship..."
Luo Xu's flying mecha suddenly braked. He turned around and saw that the pollutants that had originally gathered on the command ship were driven by something. All the S-level pollutants were like driven zombies, densely packed and dark, rushing towards a higher position.
"Fuck." Luo Xu looked up: "What the hell is going on here!"
You Su paused, his eyes stopping at the top.
At this time, high up in the sky, the heavy fog dissipated, and everyone could see Kronos clearly.
The carapace shell had expanded to the size of a tree of life, twice as large as recorded in the data. Its thick limbs were like constantly beating blood vessels, piercing deeply into the HGF-445 energy point.
The dark brown shell appeared strangely transparent, and a steady stream of energy connected the pollutants with the track below. The branches of the suspected tree of life pressed down from above. Driven by Kronos, the thick branches of the tree of life spread everywhere, some rushed towards the border army mecha, and some rushed towards the pollutants. Once touched by the tree of life, the flow of time continued to accelerate, and those S-level pollutants were sucked into mummies.
The red signals representing pollutants on the virtual screen quickly gathered. Wei Changyang saw this and looked at the pollutants that were constantly gathering around the core point. "Disperse the troops!!! Stop the pollutants, don't let Kronos absorb them!!"
"What is it doing..." a border officer murmured.
Across the Covenant, leaders and researchers who received the frontline signals saw a horrifying species.
Everyone knew that Kronos required a lot of energy, but this was the first time anyone had seen such a horrifying scene.
The shriveled and completely hollowed-out pollutants were no longer simply extracting energy; this was contrary to common sense... It was like an evolution from a higher dimension. Alarms rang out inside the warships, and all the warships on the outermost periphery could clearly see the expanding terrifying situation through their farsighted perspectives.
"Mech division retreat! Spaceships and warships, missiles ready!"
"Jammers loaded! The fog has cleared, we can now use the warships to fire!"
No one expected that this would be the scene they would see after the thick fog cleared. In just five days, Kronos had changed into a completely different appearance. All the long-range missiles from warships and spaceships locked onto Kronos and the pollutants around it. The pollutants rushing towards Kronos were swept away by the warships' missiles, and artillery shells aimed from farther away rained down on Kronos.
Kronos seemed to be particularly wary of missiles from high altitudes. Its body was still expanding. When it saw a large amount of bullets raining down, the many life trees around it suddenly moved.
The branches of the Tree of Life coiled together like a giant bird weaving a nest, and the intertwined branches formed a huge dome. All the long-range missiles of the warships were intercepted by the intertwined branches and could not penetrate into Kronos's domain.
"Commander! The jammers on the warship's missiles can't get in!" The border officer shouted. When the thick fog cleared, it should have been the most advantageous bombardment area for all warships. "The defense circle of the Tree of Life is too tight!"
The huge protective circle held up by the Tree of Life blocked the artillery shells coming from all directions for Kronos. The missiles equipped with jammers were all blocked outside by the Tree of Life, and the wireworms could not get close to Kronos at all.
"It's not just the pollutants at the core..." an officer said with difficulty, "All the pollutants in and around the HGF-445 track are moving towards Chronos's location."
Wei Changyang's gaze completely stopped. The pollutants on the orbit of HGF-445 seemed to have received an inexplicable summons. All the pollutants stopped, and the pollutants surrounding the warship's defense system stagnated. The pollutants that had originally surged in like a tide retreated from around the warships. The huge black tide shrank back to the center point, and the running and flying pollutants passed by the mecha divisions.
Huo Yan, who was driving the warship, stopped operating and looked straight ahead in shock. He saw the branches of the tree of life constantly extending outward from the core point in the distance. From a distance, it looked like a huge tall tree reflecting the afterglow of artillery fire. The branches that kept spreading out seemed to have merged with Kronos, becoming a terrifying monster. ◆
The battered Dawn Mecha Masters looked up, and Lin Yao stared at the distance in amazement: "Damn it!!"
Zhao Lejie was stunned: "Is this fucking Kronos? Has it taken hormones?"
Ji Qingfeng got goosebumps instantly. "Can hormone drugs change species?! It's going from insects to plants. Pah, it's a mutant insect plant that ate a bunch of scrap metal from the HGF-445 track. It has all the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. This thing doesn't pursue immortality. It has directly ascended to become a god."
The other mecha masters looked forward, and Lu Xi said in amazement: "Brother You and Shen Lin are still over there."
"Don't just stand there!" Qi Sicheng swept away the pollutants around him, "Huo Yan, fire! Leave all the pollutants here!! We can't let them move forward!"
-/
The artillery fire fell on the beast tide of pollutants, and each artillery fire blew up the pollutants that had no ability to resist. The tree of life nests high up blocked the warship shells one after another. Every time a warship blasted open a place, the majestic tree of life would reweave new branches, providing continuous protection for Kronos.
"Attacks and jammers can't get in at all!" Luo Xu saw the situation up high and carried General Lin on his back to avoid stray bullets from the heights. "If this continues, even if we use up all the jammers, we won't be able to kill him. The jammer's control time at 800 meters is only 2 seconds. Unless we send the jammer to a more core location, there's no way to kill him at all."
Lin Yi's pupils trembled. This shouldn't be the case.
Killing the wooden octopus could have given the border army a greater advantage, but now Kronos has wiped out all of that advantage, as if proudly telling all humans that no matter how much they do, the outcome of this confrontation will fall into its hands.
Ying Chenlin looked at the situation in the field. The warship's shells were originally the most suitable medium to escort the jammer in. In the time flow field, only large-scale attacks are most likely to shorten the distance... Now Kronos' energy is not enough, so it is so anxious to grasp Kronos' lifeblood and break through the defense of the Tree of Life.
High in the sky, the branches of the Tree of Life did not shrink under the shells. Instead, more deep-water branches expanded outward, like giant open hands, grabbing the pollutants. The life of the pollutants was accelerated, and the branches drained them at an unreasonable speed.
Suddenly, Ying Chenlin saw the time flow in the mecha system, and it seemed to have returned to a normal time flow range. No... the time flow was normal. Kronos has narrowed the control of the time flow force field. Rapidly expanding the time force field will only consume its energy, so it has narrowed the control of the time flow to the range of the tree of life.
"You Su, the time is wrong." Ying Chenlin said hurriedly.
You Su also noticed the problem of the speed of time flow. He looked at Kronos and gritted his teeth: "That guy——"
It is not a large-scale time flow field. Kronos has cast a sleight of hand on everyone. It wants to gain time under the eyes of human beings.
In the supreme command ship, various voices appeared one after another. The information captured by the front line was analyzed by many researchers. The problem of the difference in the time force field was analyzed by the border troops at the first time. But even so, this horrific scene still triggered a speculation that everyone was most reluctant to think about.
"This pollutant has gone crazy. Its acceleration and fusion will merge itself with the entire HGF-445 track." Seeing this scene, Qiu Lao, who was far away in Kolya, felt a heavy heart. Abandoning the original small body and gaining a larger body, a body that absorbs energy faster can also
Achieve its most essential purpose faster.
Shi Qingning looked solemn, realizing the seriousness of the matter: "We must stop it. If it really merges with the entire HGF-445 track, the Iron Wireworm Jammer will never be able to get close to its core!"
By then, Chronos will be completely protected by the HGF-445 track, and the jammer will no longer have any effect on its ability to manipulate time.
“But the jammers can’t get in!” the border officer shouted.
"Who said we can't get in!?" Wei Changyang looked at the tree of life nest that looked like a bird's nest. Kronos, who was hiding inside, was looking at them. "The tree of life is not completely sealed. The mecha can enter through the gaps between the branches."
"Place five jammers on the surface of the heavy weapons and launch the heavy weapons we prepared in advance."
The officers were stunned. The heavy weapons Wei Changyang mentioned were the heavy weapons that the border army had prepared to deal with Kronos in the beginning. This heavy weapon had extremely strong pressure resistance and could withstand the damage of super S-level pollutants. The blasting method it used was also different from previous heavy weapons.
Other heavy weapons are explosive, but this heavy weapon is [Shrinkage and Destruction]. It is a special heavy weapon forged using two energy crystals from a super S-level pollutant killed by the Star Alliance many years ago and a [black hole] pollutant killed by the Dawn Galaxy.
At the moment of the explosion, everything in the entire HGF-445 orbit will be shrunk into the special crack of the black hole. The crack of the black hole will not connect any dimension when it is not opened. The purpose of the design is to capture Chronos in a blockaded space where he has nowhere to escape, and then kill him with the powerful effect of another pollutant.
This was the weapon that was prepared to be used at the beginning. Originally, with the assistance of the jammer, it could ensure that Kronos would be sucked into the space and exploded to death without any reaction.
There is only one of this heavy weapon, and once it is used, there will be no second chance to make mistakes.
Moreover, at such a time, this weapon can only last for 45 minutes at most in such an environment, which means that after 45 minutes, no matter what the result, this heavy weapon will explode.
In the last 45 minutes, they had no time left. Even if the jammer did not reach a close enough position, Kronos and his men had to bomb it.
All the warships changed their formations at the same time. The warships loaded with special heavy weapons flew forward for a distance at this time. After calculating and determining the range, the huge muzzle appeared at the highest point of the warship. The border soldiers who controlled the heavy weapons switch gritted their teeth and pressed the start button.
The hunting-style warships formed a progressive circle one after another, and the silver-white muzzles in the center were charging. When the heavy weapons were fully charged, the compressed shells passed over the warships and rushed towards Kronos like meteors.
All the officers in the command room stopped, and the residual light of the heavy weapons cut streaks of light in the dark universe.
In silence, Wei Changyang looked at everyone.
"Everyone, for the peace of the Star Alliance."
"We mecha masters will do our best."
