Chapter 549 Invasion and Battle
Hu Li covered his head and jumped and screamed in front of the black "high wall". After he finally calmed down, there was a large red area on his forehead and a small bump.
The big fox demon rubbed the bag gently, tears in his eyes.
Irene, who was casually thrown to the ground by Hu Li, lay there motionless as if dead. After a long while, she suddenly jumped up as if she had suddenly re-established a connection with this body, pointing at Hu Li and starting to nag: "Silly fox, next time you do something like this, can you please not bring me with you! You almost broke my waist! Do you know how difficult it is to fix a broken joint in the waist..."
Hu Li didn't say anything and just continued to rub the bump on her head.
Irene was stunned for a moment, looking at Hu Li's head, then looked back at the high black wall that went straight through the laboratory - that was of course part of the Broken Tower (Boundary Bridge), made of a mysterious material that did not belong to this world, and its hardness was obviously beyond imagination.
It might even be harder than Luna's battleship armor shell.
"Silly fox, how strong is your head?" the little puppet couldn't help but exclaimed, "You bumped into this thing and it only left a bump?"
"My tribe of foxes all practice physical cultivation," Hu Li said in a muffled voice, as if he had just bumped his nose. "When we didn't have classes in the academy, the elders of the tribe would take us to the mountains to mine with our claws and skulls..."
Irene: “…Fuck.”
At this time, Luna also walked in from the large hole in the outer wall of the laboratory, holding two mass-produced dolls that she had picked up on the road. She tossed the two dolls to Irene, then looked up at the high black wall and said slowly, "No, there is no entrance."
The surface of the high wall was seamless, with regular patterns of unknown purpose, but no structures such as doors or windows could be seen. Luna stepped forward and used her "fingernails" to pick at it, and found that it was incredibly strong, and not even her blade could scratch it at all.
Then she and Hu Li saw Irene walking up to the high wall and groping around on it.
"Do you know how to get in?" Hu Li asked curiously.
"I... I know?" Irene's reaction was strange. It didn't seem like an answer, but rather a question to herself. She fumbled with the rough surface of the "Boundary Bridge" for a while, her eyes gradually becoming hazy. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and a look of nostalgia slowly emerged on her face. "Ah, yes, I know. We all built this together... Go in? Yes, you can go in. Yu Sheng is inside..."
She pressed her hand on the outer wall of the boundary bridge, and strands of black threads overflowed from her fingertips. The threads spread on the surface of the high wall, weaving into a spider web, and gradually penetrated into the interior of the high wall.
The black "stones" at the edge of the spider web glowed with strange colors, and a curtain composed of a large number of irregular polygonal light and shadow fragments covered the spider web. The next second, the curtain collapsed inward and shattered, and an entrance appeared in front of everyone.
Inside the entrance is a spacious space inside the tower - a passive faint light illuminates the layers of platforms, complex and ancient mechanisms with unknown functions, and seemingly endless stairs.
Hu Li suddenly sniffed.
Her eyes lit up: "It smells like a benefactor!"
"Yusheng passed by here," Irene said as she walked towards the tower. "He's going up—let's go after him!"
…
"The terminal structure of the boundary bridge has penetrated the large shield! Our shield is not responding to this!"
"The invading object's material is unknown... Unable to lock onto it... Numerous cracks exist in the structure at the end of the boundary bridge, and conventional interference and blocking methods are ineffective..."
"The Requiem system in the Directorate Tower has been affected, and its effectiveness is declining—the backup system has been deployed!"
"The 'Spirit Fox' system in the West City Canal section is experiencing an anomaly. One block failed to exchange with the City in the Mist in time! The 'Shadow' has entered the real block! How far away is the nearest mobile unit?!"
Baili Qing's face was as gloomy as he listened to the reports and instructions coming from the hall. He made timely adjustments to the overall deployment, while sharing another perspective with Baili Xue in his mind.
The huge eyes that only she and Yu Sheng could see were now floating above the boundary city, clinging to the large shield at the junction - Baili Xue was overlooking the city and constantly reporting to her about the erosion situation in various urban areas.
Looking down from the high altitude, you can see that many places are covered with thick fog.
When the sticky shadows dripping from the large shield fall into the city, the corresponding blocks will instantly activate the "Spirit Fox System", swapping part of the foggy city with the real blocks - the battle will take place in a twisted alien land full of fog to protect the real boundary city to the greatest extent.
This is a system still in the experimental stage, and its hardware is based on the latest generation of "Spirit Fox" nodes. The information disclosed to the outside world about this new type of node device is that it is a communication device, but its actual function is far more than that. Thanks to the amazing psychic affinity of its "core material", scientists at the junction area have found a way to integrate some "deep diving" technology into this node and designed a huge "grid network" throughout the entire Fog City. This is the "Spirit Fox System".
The role of this system... is to add a layer of "insurance" to the border area, which is always faced with various accidents and crises.
Since the City in the Mist covers the entire Boundary City, let it serve as a safety barrier for the Boundary City. People outside are only filled with fear and resistance towards foreign lands, but for people living in the border areas, foreign lands are also a resource that can be utilized.
But it is still in the experimental stage, and the entire City in the Mist is huge. The production of Fox Nodes is limited by raw materials. The network set up in the City in the Mist has not been completely completed. As more and more shadows invade the city from the big shield, the entire system has begun to become unstable.
As more and more blocks are flipped, the energy required to maintain the stability of the boundaries of reality will increase exponentially.
Baili Xue's voice entered Baili Qing's mind: "...I heard that this thing also uses some of the technology of the Black Spot Group...The stability of their 'dark psychic energy' itself is questionable."
"Deep Dive Technology itself was developed by the Black Spot Group. To make the Spirit Fox Node practical, we can only use the things that come with it." Baili Qing said calmly, but his eyes fell on the city -
At the highest point of the large shield, the black tower extending from the bottom of the Blackstone Space Station has invaded the sky of the Boundary City. The end of the tower is covered with strange space cracks, so that the entire tower looks fragmented. Now a large number of mobile troops and deep-sea divers have gathered near the Director Tower, trying to use various means to prevent the "Boundary Bridge" from continuing to extend, but obviously with little success.
"Sister, it's time to make a decision," Baili Xue's voice rang out again. "If we execute 'Dome Shatter' now, we'll still have time to 'throw' that space station and the extended boundary bridge out together—of course, the price will be that the border area will forever lose a piece of sky, and perhaps even some land."
"And the boundary bridge that was 'thrown' out is likely to move to another location and erode again," Baili Qing said slowly, "Its root cause is not here."
"Oh? Do you have a way to solve its 'root'?"
Listening to the voice coming from his mind, Baili Qing just took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
When she opened her eyes, a silver-gray vertical pupil flashed in her pupils.
"Xue, I need to leave here temporarily - you take command for me and don't let anyone see you."
"Huh?" Baili Xue was obviously surprised. "Wait, I'll do it for you... I don't know how! How can I do it for you?!"
"Song Cheng and Secretary Liu know what to do. You can just tell them where I'm going," Baili Qing said calmly, turning and heading out the door. "As for you, you don't have to do anything. Just let the people at headquarters see that their director is still here."
"Wait, are you messing around? Are you really going to that tower?! Hey... Uh, well, it feels like this isn't the first time you've sold me out..."
Listening to the voice coming from his mind, Baili Qing unconsciously smiled.
She left the hall and walked hurriedly down the corridor. In a moment when no one saw her, her figure disappeared into thin air.
At the same time, Baili Xue took over the vision and hearing of everyone in the building.
In the command hall, several staff members saw Baili Qing leave in a hurry just now, but soon they saw the "director" walking back from outside, standing in the same position as before and continuing to stare at the scene with an expressionless face.
Everything went on as usual, except that Baili Qing wrinkled her nose slightly while no one was paying attention, raised her hand to pinch her face, and muttered softly: "Keep her expression paralyzed, keep her expression paralyzed..."
…
The "backyard" of No. 66 Wutong Road is deep in the valley.
The square of the fairytale town was bustling with activity.
"Mind blocker! Mind blocker! Check everything out, bring enough supplies before going out—and come back quickly if you can't win!"
"Cinderella went out to scout and just reported back that the road from the old town to Sun City Plaza is full of monsters! The fog has already connected three or four blocks, a huge area."
"Dorothy's ground forces have already engaged the enemy ahead, but they lack the force to attack! Is the Dragon Slayer awake? If so, have him charge again..."
"Emergency! A drone discovered a team of trapped spirit detectives near Taihe Commercial Building. They're almost dying—who's nearby? The king? Great! Let's get them through quickly..."
The main fighting force of Fairy Tale gathered in the square, using walkie-talkies and mobile phones to contact their companions who had left the valley and entered the city. While confirming the current situation in the city, they arranged the subsequent personnel to join the battle under the command of Little Red Riding Hood. In the face of this sudden chaos and crisis, this group of precocious children (and one adult) have become the most powerful "civilian fighting force" in Jiecheng.
Now that the "Spirit Fox" system is gradually overloaded and a large number of combat forces of the Special Service have been diverted to deal with several large erosion points around the Boundary Bridge, they are almost supporting the defense of the entire old city.
At this moment, a twisting and vibrating "door" suddenly appeared in the square.
The door suddenly opened and then quickly dissipated with a creaking noise. A dizzy doll fell out of the door, and a stranger fell in with it.
Rapunzel, Snow White and several other half-grown children who were making preparations in the square were startled for a moment, then they were stunned for less than a second before rushing forward.
"What is this..."
"Brother Yu threw it in?"
"It's blonde hair, like the hair after the long hair transformation."
"Hey, it's still moving! It's alive!"
"Don't poke me, it's rude..."
