Chapter 315: Abnormalities in the East China Sea
When Changle led the chariot to the sixth-level world, the portal was already on the sea.
Nearly 1,000 chariots, carrying nearly one million people, arrived at the sixth-level world. Everyone was shocked as they looked at the towering tree in front of them.
Pictures and videos of the World Tree have actually been circulating on Blue Star for a long time.
In order to demonstrate the progress and strength of the Challenge Army in its development, there will be a live broadcast of the battles in the sixth-level world every day for the people of Blue Star to watch at will. Not to mention what the World Tree looks like, even the famous heavy city can be seen clearly.
However, no matter how advanced the live broadcast function is, and it feels like you are there in person, it is still better to come here in person and see it with your own eyes.
Especially after entering this world, the rich natural force filled the heaven and earth, as if the strength was increasing with every breath.
Changle stood on the balcony in front of the car, the lieutenant's epaulettes on his shoulders shining. He squinted his eyes and looked at the giant tree, his heart excited.
It's finally here.
The dream of following that adult is finally coming true!
After safely delivering the convoy to Chongcheng and handing it over to the local garrison, Changle reported to the pioneering corps without a moment's rest.
The officer in charge of him said, "Minister Mu said that the new crew member of Commander Wei's chariot will report this time. We have already arranged for their reception, but Commander Wei has gone to the seventh-level world and it will probably take some time for him to return."
"Have they reached the seventh-level world?" Changle's face turned pale. "If we want to catch up, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until half a year after the next assessment. Besides, that's a seventh-level world. How advanced do our chariots need to be to get there?"
The commander was extremely amiable. He looked at Changle and smiled, saying, "Commander Wei is only going there to start the Level 7 opening battle. He will be back in a few days."
Changle's expression was still confused. After all, the chariot could not return to the past world. He came to join Commander Wei's chariot. If the chariot was not there, with his mere level five chariot, it would probably take a long time to wait to go to the level seven world.
The officer knew what he was thinking, but Xiaoxiao did not explain. He just asked someone to arrange accommodation for Changle and his crew.
This wait lasted for five days.
It was the morning of the fifth day. Changle was leading his troops in training in a place in the Chongcheng military camp. When he was sweating profusely, he suddenly felt a shadow covering his head.
He turned his head and subconsciously entered a combat state.
I saw a monster that seemed to have no end and was even bigger than the city. It pushed aside the leaves of the World Tree and slowly fell down.
Even though he didn't feel any hostility, the fear of being enveloped by the giant still came as expected. His muscles tensed and sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Commander Wei is back!"
"This pseudo-god-level Earth Beast is so handsome, I'm amazed no matter how many times I see it!"
"Changle, what are you standing there for? You won't forget, this is that pseudo-god-level earth beast called Dianma!"
Changle came back to his senses, blushing. He loosened his clenched fists and said, "I forgot about it for a moment. It's really shocking. Is the space fortress only about this size?"
The one who spoke was his deputy commander, looking up at the Earth Beast in admiration. He said, "A space fortress isn't even as big as that. Our tanks are just spacious on the inside; they look small from the outside. There's no way they can compare to the sheer size of this. I heard that during the battle in the Monster World, this little beast reached a massive size of over ten thousand meters, easily expanding beyond the planet."
Changle swallowed hard, calmed down and reacted: "So Commander Wei is on this?"
“Isn’t this nonsense?”
Changle suddenly stammered nervously: "So, can we get in the car now?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Commander Wei has entered the seventh-level world, so the tank can only stay in the seventh-level world. That's why he's coming back now." The deputy tank commander said, looked at him and smiled, "I don't see you so naive on weekdays. You haven't even met Commander Wei yet, but you're already stupid. I'm afraid you won't even dare to speak when the time comes. How about I speak for you?"
"Ah? That's fine."
The deputy conductor looked at the silly Changle and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
That afternoon, Changle was called to the square to wait for Commander Wei's inspection. He stood in the most conspicuous position in the first row. When he saw the familiar person sitting on the rostrum, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
I wonder if my efforts in these three years can satisfy Commander Wei?
Everything that happened next was dizzying. They swore an oath of allegiance together and put on the insignia of the commander's tank. Then he and more than 70 tank commanders got a private meeting with the commander.
There were less than a hundred people sitting in the grand small conference room, and the one sitting in the chairman's seat was the well-known commander Wei of the human race.
He was so young, yet so powerful, handsome and majestic, as if he was radiating light, attracting Changle's attention so much that he could hardly take his eyes off him.
During this period, Commander Wei spoke very little and did not look in his direction. Deputy Captain Mu was talking the whole time, and he did not dare to look at Commander Wei too much.
At the end of the meeting, Deputy Captain Mu said, "...The purpose of opening the seventh-level world is to prepare for the opening battle, but we will still remain in this world for quite some time.
You are the additional crew members assigned to help us upgrade our tanks to level eight, so you are our own people. So in a while, we will set off directly to the blessed land.
You won't have much time to stay there, so make sure you seize the opportunity to find your own destiny.
I think you all know about the blessed land and cave. If you still don’t understand something, just find an old driver and ask him. I hope you can take the initiative to break the ice and don’t care about other people’s attitudes. Your own strength is the real strength. If you want to stand firm on this chariot, you should not be arrogant and self-satisfied, but be strong and united.
Okay, that’s all for now. Let’s pack up and set off in half an hour.
Also, Changle, you stay."
Changle, whose name was called, jumped up with a start, saluted, and replied in a crisp voice, "Yes, General!"
So ten minutes later, Changle returned to his chariot, one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he was stepping on cotton.
When he arrived at the chariot door, he did not go in, but stood at the door and saluted.
He saw Commander Wei and Deputy Captain Mu following closely behind him, as well as the main combat power triangle who were equally famous and had made great military achievements on Blue Star, General Xu Qingqiang, General Xue and General Cui, as well as every powerful person and hero who passed by him and whose name he could call out, all stepped onto his chariot.
He... was so honored that he almost died.
How could he be so worthy that Commander Wei could bring his main force on his chariot? It was not only an honor for his humble home, he felt that his family tree could have a separate page today!
Changle was lost in thought when he came to his senses and saw Deputy Driver Mu's smiling face. He said to him, "Changle, let's go. It's up to you to make the next arrangements."
"Yes!" Changle nodded and continued to walk forward with one step deep and one step shallow.
After entering the chariot, the fifth-level chariot could accommodate a hundred people. The chariot that looked very spacious in the past became pitifully small with the arrival of these important figures.
Changle listened to Mu Zhong awkwardly as he said, "Commander Wei and I will go to the driver's cabin. You arrange for the rest of the people to rest."
"Uh, yes."
"I'll do it, just leave it to me." The speaker was Changle's deputy conductor.
Compared to Changle's nervousness, his deputy driver was calm and composed.
She is a female deputy captain, who looks very young and petite. She is a praying person. She initially followed the Changle chariot and was also seen struggling on the third-level assessment highway. Later, she went to the Qinglong Legion and performed extremely well, and was promoted to deputy captain of the chariot.
The deputy captain stayed behind to arrange for the others, and Changle took the two people who could be said to be the most powerful people in the world today to his own cab.
He saw some dust in the corner of the cab and regretted not squatting down to wipe it clean before.
Mu Zhong noticed his awkwardness and said with a smile, "In fact, I have been following you for the past few years. Except for the first year when you went, you have been an advanced student for the next two years. Whether it is competition or assessment in the legion, you are always ranked at the top. Your greatest wish in life is to follow Commander Wei and become his driver, right?"
Changle smiled embarrassedly.
Wei Huandu turned around and looked over, his gaze lingering on Changle's face. He finally spoke: "Your car will become a temporary command vehicle, and I will take away your authority."
"Okay, okay." Changle's nostrils were enlarged with excitement. I'll give you my life!
Mu Zhong's smile widened. "I was chosen after careful consideration before you boarded your chariot. You must believe in your own excellence. You have worked hard over the past three years. You have become even better than you thought, and more than we thought."
Changle was stunned, blinking, his eyes a little red. Someone had seen his hard work day and night and the tons of sweat he had shed.
Mu Zhong patted Changle's shoulder, giving him time to sort out his emotions, and then went to the balcony with Wei Huan.
In the parking lot outside the balcony, all the tanks were started and quickly formed into a battle formation, with more than 300 vehicles in total.
Most of them are level 5 vehicles, but there are also level 6 vehicles. A fully staffed level 6 vehicle can accommodate a thousand people, so the number of tank crew members upgraded this time is nearly 40,000.
Wei Huan’s chariot is about to be upgraded to level eight. After the upgrade, it can accommodate 100,000 people. This group of people is prepared in advance for Wei Huan.
It’s just that Wei Huan’s chariot is now in the seventh-level world, and they will need to challenge the seventh-level highway alone in half a year.
This can also be considered a kind of assessment.
Upgrading the chariot is very simple. Wei Huan walked in front and swept up the resources. Since they are his own people, he will never be stingy.
At the same time, personal combat effectiveness is also crucial. These 40,000 people, and another 50,000 people selected from the sixth-level world, will be sent to the blessed land cave for training.
Half a year to challenge the world is equivalent to one year in the blessed land. Coupled with the special conditions there, the strength of this group of people can at least double, and those who are lucky may even soar to the sky.
Of course, there are also those who improve slowly. If they have special skills in logistics, it’s okay. But if the main combat soldiers have no talent for cultivation, it can also be regarded as a screening, survival of the fittest, and it’s better to discover them early.
This is also the reason why Wei Huan took the lead in participating in the seventh-level highway assessment without waiting for this group of people to arrive.
As for the other, more important reason, it was that the resources Wei Huan had brought back from the Dark Beast Plane were almost depleted, and he had to go there and bring back another batch of supplies. If he didn't go this time, he would have to wait another six months for the next assessment.
I also wanted to see how Moji was doing over there. I hadn't heard from him in a long time, and since he hadn't died and returned to the tomb, I was really curious.
As Wei Huan was thinking this, the convoy had already formed up. He turned his head and gave an order to the steward AI. Then all the chariots took off and flew out of the city under the envious gaze of other challengers, flying towards the behemoth that had been floating between the branches of the World Tree since morning.
"Commander Wei is going to the blessed land again?"
"Everyone in his car, even the reservists, has a chance to go in. When will it be our turn?"
"It doesn't matter whether I go to the blessed land or not. My life goal is to become a member of the commander's chariot."
"You'd think, as long as you join Commander Wei's chariot, what else could you lack? All the best things will be given priority. Who here doesn't have this as their goal?"
Changle, who was also called to the balcony, saw those pairs of envious gazes. He clenched and unclenched his fists, and his breathing became faster.
From the perspective of pursuing faith, Changle finally stood here today and knew that his performance today was really not good, but he could not control it. This was his lifelong dream, and the joy of achieving his wish hit him, making it difficult for him to control himself.
Finally, they were far away from the city and could no longer see the eyes looking up at them. Only then did Changle calm down from his excitement and look at the white jade-like platform not far ahead.
"Captain Mu, are we going there on the Empress?"
The people of Blue Star all know Dianma's name, but this name is not grand enough, so the people gave it a domineering name, "Empress".
Empress, Queen, Queen, Princess, these all sound like titles for female leaders, but this branch of the Earth Beasts lives in a matriarchal society. Although Dian Ma is dead, its gender is definitely "mother".
The people of Blue Star are given titles according to their levels for doing good deeds.
Dian Ma is the empress, Gou Zi is the queen, grandchildren are queens, great-grandchildren are princesses, and the remaining great-great-grandchild can only be called the little princess.
Wei Huan remained noncommittal.
When these undead were named, who could have imagined that they could now reach the pseudo-god level and even have fans on Blue Star.
However, Wei Huan is not the kind of person who will change his mind just because someone tells him to. You can call me whatever you want, and I will call you whatever I want.
When Changle called her the Empress, he recognized her immediately.
Mu Zhong also said: "Yes, Dian Ma is a pseudo-god level, and the protective shield is also pseudo-god level. In terms of defense alone, it is stronger than the chariot's level eight protective shield. Not only does it protect you in the middle and make you safe, its full speed is also very fast."
Changle nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was in awe of the two human leaders and didn't dare to say much.
Mu Zhong, however, had already considered him one of his own, and explained carefully, "We are going to the Monster World now. One minute wasted here is two minutes wasted there. Cultivation over there is rapid progress and opportunities are endless. It would be a pity to delay any longer."
When you go there, don't be afraid of danger and work hard to find your true self and true tool. I don't want you to follow the path taken by your predecessors. Perhaps you will be stronger if you find your own path.
As tanks are upgraded, members are added, and the legion expands, more positions will become available. However, we don't want to see a cookie-cutter army. We shouldn't be building an assembly line army, but a truly powerful army."
Changle nodded and secretly vowed that he would not fear life and death to explore his true self and find a unique path to become a strong man.
The back shell of the Empress Dianma was wide and could easily accommodate 300 chariots. Then, like a balloon, its eight long legs swayed lightly and it flew out from the branch of the World Tree to a place where the branches and leaves were not so dense.
Then, a film of light appeared and wrapped it, like a transparent bubble, emitting a dazzling colorful halo under the faint light of the challenging world.
The field of vision changed and the speed gradually increased. When I came to my senses again, I could no longer see the scenery outside clearly. Dianma was like a nimble fish, quickly swimming between the branches, and in the blink of an eye, she had covered several miles.
But when the car was parked on the back of Dianma, there was no bump at all. Changle couldn't help but look out for a long time, fascinated by this extremely agile speed.
It takes nearly an hour to get from Chongcheng to the transmission channel. If you drive a level 5 tank, it will take more than a day.
The movement speed of the pseudo-god level is extremely fast, and in the eyes of people with insufficient strength, it is like teleportation.
Although it is still so big, it is extremely light and agile.
During this period, Mu Zhong and Wei Huan returned to the train to chat with Xu Qingqiang and others to pass the time. Changle stayed diligently in the driver's room, and slowly calmed down from his excessive excitement.
Until the speed of change of the surrounding scenery suddenly slowed down and the coastline had fallen to a very low place, they finally reached the top of the World Tree.
There are already more than ten leaves here where buildings are built, heavily guarded by troops and some scientific researchers.
Over the past six months, by pooling the wisdom of all mankind, we have finally successfully developed a new generation of boundary gates.
Although this gate is not as stable as the one that challenges the world, and the number of people that can pass through it at one time is limited, its safety factor is much higher than that of using Starlink, and no accidents have occurred so far.
Now, this group of scientific researchers are cooperating with the pilot sequence to study the second-generation boundary gate.
Changle looked at the boundary gate that seemed to be embedded in the ceiling. Listening to the footsteps coming from behind him, he withdrew his gaze and turned to salute Wei Huan and others.
Mu Zhong said, "Once we're here, we can't go in together. The first-generation boundary gate can only transport a maximum of 15 chariots at a time, and the number of people transported cannot exceed 1,000. You come with us first, and we must also prepare a risk prevention plan. I have uploaded the Heart of Steel to the chariot system, and we will leave in a while, so you can take a look first."
"yes!"
Every time they pass through the portal, Wei Huan and others will make various preparations, but no accidents have occurred so far.
Today's crossing was also very smooth.
Entering through the gate saved them the trouble of flying through space. In a flash, they arrived at the other side of the gate.
This is not a challenge world, there is no live broadcast function, and as a military stronghold, it is difficult for outsiders to see it.
So it was also the first time I saw Changle, the legendary blessed land and paradise, and I was shocked when I saw the scene before me.
The blue sky and white clouds, the overlapping mountains and the shady green trees are quite similar to the blue planet.
However, after looking at it a few more times, I found that this place was indeed different. The mountains here were extremely high, the trees were even taller, and there were two suns in the sky. It was undoubtedly a different world.
The Challenge Legion also built a base on this side of the boundary gate, and in half a year, it has built an iron wall, like a military fortress, equipped with a large number of challenge weapons.
As the first batch of chariots sent here, the Changle chariot followed the instructions of the command console, slowing down, turning and reducing speed all the way, and finally stopped in this huge parking lot.
Mu Zhong said, "Get off with us."
Changle naturally followed obediently.
After getting off the chariot, my feet set foot in a different world for the first time, but I didn’t feel much different.
He knew that this was because he was also in a protective shield. While shielding against danger, the shield also shielded against most elemental particles, just like a vacuum environment. Although it ensured human safety, it also blocked human perception.
Retracting his curious gaze, Changle looked at the person who was greeting them in front of him. Is this Commander Fang William?
He was once the strongest of mankind. Although his combat effectiveness has fallen behind now, the legends he created in the past and his bravery in standing at the forefront of the human race in adversity are still praised among the human race.
Although Commander Wei achieved greater success in leading the human race out of adversity, no one can deny that during those difficult years, Commander Fang bravely took the lead and held up a sky for the human race.
Now Commander Fang has become the commander-in-chief of the Blue Star Alliance's garrison troops in the sixth-level world, and continues to contribute to the construction and defense of the sixth-level world, but he has disappeared from the public eye for some time.
Everyone said that Commander Fang's combat effectiveness had been reduced, and that he was concentrating on construction and the army. But as soon as Changle met Commander Fang, he knew that was not the case.
The aura of Commander Fang is not inferior to those of the main generals around Commander Wei, and even his sharp edge is hidden but not released.
Oh, yes!
Changle realized that this world had not been captured by the challenge world, so the data here could not be synchronized to the challenge world, and it became a place for the human race to hide its edge. Commander Fang practiced a way to hide its edge.
The human race here must have a power that is slowly accumulating unknown to the public. Once it takes action on the necessary day, it will surely shock all races, right?
Changle was very happy after figuring this out. This was probably something engraved in the blood of the Daxia civilization. Of course, the "trump card" had to be hidden.
Wei Huan has already started talking with Fang William, discussing their experience in the level seven assessment.
"...The difficulty is very low, and the Dark Beast Tribe hasn't come to interfere. With our current strength, our elite troops will have no problem passing Line 80."
Fang William asked, "What does the seventh-level world look like? Is it the same as here?"
"There are both mountains and seas, just as described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are continents overseas and monsters on land."
"There are demons and monsters? How do you define a monster? Is it dark energy?"
"That's right."
Fang William remained silent, absorbing the information for a long time before speaking again, "I found an abyss at the bottom of the East China Sea. There's something unusual there. Perhaps you need someone to take a look."
"How did you find out?" Wei Huan asked.
Fang William said, "We were chasing a black dragon that was good at escaping. We finally saw it dive into an abyss and disappear. We guessed there might be a spatial rift there. They didn't dare to explore further and reported it to me, so I let them return."
"What did the fortune teller and the driver say?" Wei Huan asked again.
