Chapter 248 The war...broke out!

Amid the embarrassment, the immortal giant turtle opened its bloody mouth and roared, "Listen carefully, even Master Turtle has fallen for their trick!"

"If you let them in, you'll all die."

The crowd was actually already scared out of their wits. No one dared to be careless and stared at the surveillance camera carefully.

Then, Grandpa Turtle felt embarrassed again and quietly comforted the conch: "Sister, I actually lied to them... How could I possibly want to eat you? A fresh and tender cabbage like you should be grown on the ground for everyone to appreciate."

The conch blushed slightly, and angrily imitated the immortal giant turtle's speech, "Eat her and give me another leg."

Lu Yuan also ran over and praised: "Master Turtle, please leave some meat for me. I'm just hungry."

Conch rolled her eyes at him, somewhat annoyed.

The immortal giant turtle felt very guilty about what they said, and crawled away proudly.

"I want to eat all these monsters!"

…

The sun was setting and it was about to get dark when the King Insect's reconnaissance report came over the intercom.

"The population in the city is constantly gathering and heading towards the Sky City."

"Preliminary estimates put it at over 100,000!"

"The general attack is expected to be launched after dark."

It's not far from dark...

Lu Yuan was checking the 1,450 insect eggs.

These insect eggs were about to hatch and were in a dormant state. After being taken out of the flower buds, they began to wriggle again with a "dong dong" sound.

Lu Yuan felt that they were not hatching fast enough, so he moved the Tree of Life to the side of the eggs and used the vines to continuously supply them with life energy.

The smell emitted by these insect eggs became more and more ferocious.

The sounds in the headphones were transmitted to Lu Yuan's ears one by one.

"There are three shifts in total, providing all-round surveillance."

"The layout of the sewers was carried out in an orderly manner, and some side manhole covers were forcibly closed with concrete, leaving only a few main passages."

"The logistics system is still normal, and the food reserves are sufficient. We can last for a long time in the shelter."

"Several talented workers are urgently manufacturing helmets and resin smoke bombs... but we can't expect too much at this last minute."

This defensive helmet is forged from black iron and coated with a layer of sealing resin. If there is no special carving, the shielding effect can only be said to be average...

But something is better than nothing.

Lu Yuan sighed softly, trying to keep himself calm.

This is the first major crisis of the 18th human civilization. A large-scale war will obviously have many loopholes.

They did not lack communication capabilities, but the various communication channels of the walkie-talkies they obtained from the Lize civilization seemed a bit confusing.

Lu Yuan had to send some instructions to officers, and some orders had to be sent directly to lower-level soldiers. Some details were difficult to improve in a short period of time.

The number of weapons is not enough, whether it is hot weapons, cold weapons, or mental protection devices, the number is still not enough.

"This is the fear of insufficient firepower. If there are ten thousand nuclear bombs, I would be afraid of nothing here." Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

He transformed a fruit of life into energy, his eyes glowed red, and he used his ability to "control".

The few fruits of life that the Tree of Life had accumulated over the years were completely consumed.

Fortunately, after spending a large sum of money, I finally managed to successfully control these 1,450 insects.

These insect eggs created a sense of telepathy with him.

It is because of their existence that Lu Yuan has the capital to fight.

"I give the order! Those that are almost hatched can come out now!"

"Human civilization needs more warriors!"

Lu Yuan's eyes glowed red as he issued an order.

The insect eggs moved more vigorously like silkworm pupae, and the energy output of the Tree of Life suddenly increased again.

Lu Yuan was very glad that he had retained 2,000 units of life energy, otherwise he would have been in a desperate situation.

These worms swallowed up about 400 units of vital energy before they slowly stopped and began to show signs of stiffness, a sign that they were about to hatch.

"I have a big question."

The old cat who was directing the construction in the sewer suddenly thought of something and said in the headset, "If every 'Painted Skin' has the ability to attack mentally, there are too many of them, which doesn't make sense."

"It's impossible for everyone to have the ability of [Spiritual Words], right?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't [Spiritual Words] become something that is everywhere? Seal a few [Spiritual Words] and we can use them ourselves."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan became a little hesitant.

Only the "skills of form" and "skills of qi" can be biologically inherited. Both the Mida civilization and the Green Civilization believe so.

For example, in a swarm of insects, almost every insect possesses some skills, which are acquired through inheritance and mutation.

Only the divine skills cannot be inherited, which is the main reason why the "King Insect" is so precious.

But it is very strange that each of these human skin monsters possesses divine skills.

"Has the captured guy woken up?" Lu Yuan made up his mind and immediately communicated with several people with "sealing" abilities through headphones.

He intended to forcibly strip the monster's [Spiritual Words] from its soul.

This matter obviously cannot be handed over to Conch. Even though her sealing skills are more advanced, it is best not to let her do something too cruel.

"Captain Lu, we are monitoring him all the time! He hasn't woken up yet!"

After a few minutes, a cry of surprise came from the headset: "Captain Lu, that human skin may not have a soul!"

"Has a soul escaped from the bud?"

"No, it's impossible! We've been watching outside." People with the "Seal" ability can also see souls. What's more, this human-skin monster is imprisoned in a virtual space, so there is no way it can escape.

The pressure suddenly surged up.

Lu Yuan tapped his forehead with his fingers: "In other words, there is only one monster that truly possesses the divine skill, and these human skins are actually just clones?"

"The clone we captured alive is of little significance."

"What's even more terrifying is that some information about our city has been exposed. The enemy already knows about our cannons and machine guns?"

These words really made everyone despair.

Especially the old man Sha Sanli, he suddenly lost all strength and sat down on the ground, cold sweat pouring out, soaking his clothes: "It's all my fault. I led them here."

The others also seemed very nervous. What level of monster was this?

The clones alone are so powerful, do they still have a chance to survive? Lu Yuan comforted him, "Don't worry, the other side has a large number of people, and we have new combat forces to replenish."

"Think carefully about what information you have revealed along the way. As long as the key information is not revealed, it won't be a big problem."

"Actually... it's nothing. They asked me one question and I answered one. I roughly told them how many people there were, how strong they were, etc."

"The Empire is so powerful. Our top brass cannot match the Empire's strength..."

Sha Sanli was a little embarrassed and wanted to flatter him: "Captain Lu, I'm not saying that your combat effectiveness is low, I mean that the combined combat effectiveness of all of us is not high..."

"And when we just met, weren't you still looking for a way to break through the extraordinary fire? You shouldn't be a congenital grandmaster yet..."

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "No, you did a good job."

"In other words, your words caused the other party to misjudge the strategy, so they rushed over and wanted to eat us."

"But they don't really know much about technological civilization, and they don't really know about surveillance or anything like that."

On the contrary, the immortal giant turtle revealed more information. This huge treasure with 34 points of divine attributes is more nutritious than ten thousand year old ginseng; the dying poppy tree is simply a ready-made elixir of life!

Who can resist such temptation?

"These 1,400 insect eggs seem to have not been revealed. Absolutely not!" Sha Sanli kept waving his hands and swore to the sky, while the other accompanying soldiers also shook their heads.

Lu Yuan nodded: "It seems that we can use 1,500 Zerg warriors to give the other side a hard blow..."

"But these 1,500 Zerg warriors can only be exposed once. If we fail to severely damage the enemy's main force, it will be a big trouble."

…

At this moment, the power team's voice, Sha Mo, came through the headset: "Captain Lu, the power grid has been maintained, and the Sky City can be launched!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Want to take off?"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, quite undecided.

Without the help of wind, the city flew very slowly, and the poppy trees now needed to rest. If they took off directly, all the rest would be in vain.

This is a very difficult decision.

"Where's the weather forecaster? What's the wind direction these days?"

Sha Mo immediately replied, "There may be a southerly wind at 8 o'clock tonight, with a relatively light wind force of around level 3. The wind force tomorrow morning may reach level 4, but that's all."

"He thinks there won't be any typhoons in the next month."

"There may be force 5-6 winds, but they will only last for a limited time."

If you want to use wind power to propel the sky city, you need winds of at least level 5, but the conditions are not yet mature.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to use the Zerg warriors to resist the first wave of attacks, Sha Mo suddenly said in the headset: "Captain Lu, I think it's better to take off, even if it costs a little more. Oh, it's better to take off for a short while."

"Why?"

"Because the opponent is intelligent, it is eyeing us covetously and wants to get everything in the Sky City. It probably doesn't want to miss this sumptuous meal."

"In this case, if it sees our city taking off, it might get anxious and rush out regardless of everything."

"It doesn't know that our city is flying very slowly and needs to overdraw the vitality of the poppy tree. It only knows that we are trying to escape, right?"

"Given the current situation, a one-time decisive battle may be more reliable than a long-term war of attrition."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

This is taking advantage of information gap and deceiving the other party.

In a one-time decisive battle, you can rely on the newly hatched Zerg warriors to ambush a fierce enemy.

If the city does not take off, the enemy will send small teams to harass them from time to time, and they simply cannot afford the resources.

It is impossible for the elderly and children to hide in the shelter for a long time. Even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, you will eventually let your guard down.

“Your suggestion is very good!”

"Then, all crews, prepare to begin the city emergency takeoff procedure!"

"Comrades, this launch is to deceive the enemy into launching an attack. So we don't need to go very high, but we must make a strong noise. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

The carvings scattered throughout the city began to flicker once again, emitting bright light.

Lu Yuan injected all the energy in the "Magic Cube-level Energy Converter" into the poppy tree.

He discovered that the energy growth rate had actually increased, and the annual output had soared to more than 80 units?!

"Originally it seemed like there were only 38...is this because a group of people died?" Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he distributed the 1,000 life energies stored in the Tree of Life to the Poppy Tree.

"There are only 600 left now. They are going away so fast."

The poppy tree is indeed a greedy creature. After it has energy, the leaves that were originally a little yellow suddenly become moisturized.

It will work as hard as you give it.

"This is all we can do. It should last for a while."

"Splash!" The city slowly rose from the lake, displacing a large amount of lake water.

The rate of the city's rise is not fast, which shows that the driver of Conch has quite good control skills.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Go slower and give the other party some time to react." Lu Yuan stood at the top of the poppy tree and looked out at the entire city.

The rumbling sound of the propeller was like thunder and lightning, startling all the birds in the forest.

…

This grand scene was naturally discovered by some "creatures" spying on the lakeside.

Among them, there is a very small population who are the survivors of the Mandala Empire - without exception, these people are all very powerful.

At this moment, they were attracted by the huge sound and rushed towards the lake at the same time.

"That city, are you leaving?"

"Why are so many monsters gathering by the lake?"

“Let’s go and take a look!” These two young men are called the Ma brothers. Their fighting ability is not very high, but they possess divine skills.

One is the keen eyes, the other is the ability to identify.

They found that the disaster was unstoppable and could only hide in the forest.

"This may be our last chance."

…

For the survivors of the Mandala Empire, force is not the most important thing.

Even if one is a congenital grandmaster, once bewitched by the Painted Skin, he will die.

Those who can survive have excellent life-saving abilities.

They discovered the horrific truth about the "Painted Skin" and are in despair and suffering.

Now the Painted Skin Army is launching a general attack. They naturally discovered the abnormality, as if they had grasped the last straw.

In a cellar, several old men poked their heads out.

"These monsters seem to be going to war with something."

"I'll go investigate."

…
