Chapter 373 Lifting the UFO from the Ocean
Well, stripping away the divine skills was indeed a bit cruel, but these fishmen were going to die anyway... He had no psychological burden in recycling them.
"We might be able to seize two or three hundred divine skills..."
Hundreds of ownerless divine skills that can be used for distribution!!
Well, Jin Dongliang’s soul has solidified, and there is no possibility for him to integrate into the “divine skills” anymore, but when he thinks that the next generation will be stronger, he feels a sense of joy.
If it weren't for the considerable casualties caused by the war...it could be said to be a huge harvest.
Wait, Jin Dongliang quickly thought of something. What about the unconscious people on the human side? Are they going to die as well? His pupils dilated and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"How many people are unconscious here? Hurry up and count them!"
Scientists such as Lu Tiantian and Sha Mo are also urgently confirming this matter.
The number of people whose brains were crawled into by ant robots reached over 20,000! This number was really too large. All of them fell into a coma and began to lose vital signs. There was no way they could wake up.
More than 20,000 people are too many for the Sky City with a population of only 400,000!
Moreover, these people are the main force of society, including elite soldiers, engineers who maintain the gravity system of Sky City, as well as nurses, doctors and other workers from all walks of life. The loss is too heavy! "Hurry up, put them in the hibernation chamber... and then put the hibernation chamber into the tiankeng."
"Only the sinkhole can give us more time to save ourselves." Lu Tiantian's voice trembled a little.
After many experts discussed the issue for a while, they were slightly relieved. Theoretically, these people who had the chips implanted were not completely brain dead, so some of them might still be saved.
"Thank goodness for the Ultimate Sanctuary."
A few hours later, the Sky Fortress returned with the Zerg warriors...
The Zerg warriors also suffered heavy losses, with many of their wings and legs lost, and several of them had their abdomens blown apart.
These resolute warriors silently endured the pain and licked their wounds. Soon, human medical staff came to the battlefield and sprayed them with medicine.
Then, someone put Major Lu Ying, who was lying in the hibernation chamber, into the sinkhole.
"Major Lu..." Lu Tiantian's face showed sadness. His second sister had just gotten married and had received such bad news. He didn't know if she could survive in the end.
However, as long as people are not dead, there is always hope.
A captain of the treasure-hunting brigade reported: "Yes, all the fishmen soldiers suddenly became paralyzed and began to lose their vital signs. We urgently confiscated some high-tech weapons, stripped off some divine skills, and returned home."
Then, he swallowed and said with some doubt: "We were still halfway, in the deep sea area where the advanced ruins are located, and saw a gray fog."
“The fog is growing.”
"Some of them are heading towards the Mermaid Coral Reef. Others are heading towards the Sky City."
At this moment, Poppy Tree's earphones suddenly rang, and the voices of two soldiers from Little Mirage Dragon came: "This fog is the derivative power of [Distortion·Ghost]! You should quickly clean up the battlefield and make corresponding preparations. A bigger wave of war is about to come."
"According to our estimation, fire seeds above level five can resist this fog, but those with lower levels will be distorted and become puppets of the [Distortion Ghost]... Ma Dafeng is a level four warrior, and he is holding on."
"Don't use your extended abilities in the gray fog, including identification, sealing, vision, smell, hearing, and most external perception abilities."
A terrifying silence appeared in the center of the square.
The crowd couldn't help but feel a little nervous and frightened. At the moment, there were not many warriors above level five.
After all these years, there are only 289 of them.
"But how can we resist this fog? Only the fully wrapped lab suits and diving suits can last for a while."
"Our shelters couldn't withstand it."
The power of [ghosts] cannot be compared with poison gas or volcanic ash. Fresh air systems and gas masks are basically useless.
Even if the power of this ghost fog is so thin that it cannot be thinner, it is still not something that ordinary people can resist.
Lu Tiantian was silent for a moment. "There is really no other way. All personnel can only hibernate. You hide in the tiankeng. The Tree of Life may be able to resist this distorted fog with its vitality... Last time I saw it blooming with green light, it sheltered a large group of birds."
"Hurry up, don't think the war has been won... We are in the most dangerous period!"
"Except for the combatants, everyone else should hide in the tiankeng!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan also came online. He whispered into Poppy Tree's headset, "Hibernation? I see...Okay, I'll give instructions to the Tree of Life...Quickly send a helicopter to bring Miss Conch over, meet with Little Mirage Dragon, and have it send Miss Conch to the bottom of the sea."
"…I'm going crazy! Don't forget to wear protective clothing!!"
Lu Yuan left in a hurry after saying just one word.
He was so anxious that he went crazy because he was too new and didn't know how to use the various devices in the Soul Gem!
The [Deformed Ghost] that was beaten into a pot of thick soup is about to recover.
This is truly an extremely terrifying vitality. It only takes a few minutes for the molecular form to return to its original state.
…
On the other side, Miss Conch, although a little confused about the situation, had to take off urgently by helicopter.
The Sky City was in a mess after this war.
The number of casualties is still being counted.
Fortunately, the strategic goal of the Nanyu civilization this time was to capture prisoners rather than to kill indiscriminately, so the actual death toll was not high... The preliminary estimate was around three to five hundred people.
It’s just that there are too many people who were injured, knocked unconscious by the poison gas, and implanted with ant chips.
All the survivors were busy cleaning up the battlefield, with no time to care about their injuries or feelings, because the even more terrifying grey fog was closing in.
The military hospital was also overcrowded, with people wailing with broken arms and legs.
Conch couldn't help but wipe away tears... This time, it was really too difficult.
Human beings are still not strong enough.
“Boom!”
The propeller started and the helicopter slowly moved away from the city and headed towards the ocean.
From afar, the fog seemed to be wriggling with life, and countless small fish and shrimps were floating on the water.
Marine creatures with weaker vitality will become deformed and die directly, while those with higher vitality will turn into monsters.
These monster armies, mixed with the fog, slowly swam towards the direction of the sky city.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Observing from the sky, the vast army of distortions is particularly spectacular.
"Fuck, why are there so many monsters?"
"All the creatures in the ocean have been polluted!"
The scout on the helicopter was also shocked and quickly reported the intelligence to his superiors, asking Sky City to prepare for the next war.
The strength of these monsters doesn't seem to be very high. After all, they only sucked a little bit of the ghost's blood.
But there were too many of them! The helicopter didn't dare to rush into the fog. If something went wrong, it would crash directly, and they would be in big trouble! "Wait, wouldn't those unconscious fishmen on the coral island also be infected by the gray fog? That's a million-strong army... It's not easy to defend." A smarter scout suddenly slapped his head and his eyes widened.
Another soldier shook his head and said, "Many of the energy circuits of the Sky City have been destroyed. It won't be able to fly in the short term."
Hailuo suddenly thought of something and analyzed: "No, those monsters should not all come here to attack humans. Their purpose may be to rescue the [Deformed Ghost]!"
"You made such a big scene just to get yourself out of this situation!"
This idea simply shocked everyone.
[Ghosts] are indeed not intelligent.
But they often have some animal instincts.
For example, spiders can weave webs and ant lions can dig traps. These are actually animal instincts, not real wisdom.
[Ghost] made such a big noise just to rescue the original body.
But that UFO was in the deep sea, and it was impossible for the human body to dive so deep into the sea.
Even the Source Fire War Puppet would move slowly and be easily damaged under a pressure of more than a thousand atmospheres.
The scouts stumbled and said, "This... This won't work... No matter how good Commander Lu is at fighting, he can't kill a million deformed monsters, right? And he seems to be fiddling with some seal and can't get away!"
The headquarters of Sky City also heard their discussion.
People racked their brains to think about it.
"How about we use the Sky Fortress to pull the flying saucer up with a rope? Engineering Department, can you do it?"
The engineers in the large engineering institutes were simply scalping.
They already have an unimaginable amount of things on their hands, and now they have this one more big thing on top of it.
"This flying saucer must be salvaged, professor, otherwise all those monsters will rush into the sea. How can we resist them with only the little mirage dragon to transport a few troops?"
"We just built a large foundation. We can use it to carry flying saucers..."
It sounds like it might be possible.
"But wasn't there a [ghost] in that flying saucer? Pull it out."
"There's no other way... We have to seal the [Ghost]. If we let it escape, we'll die faster. Prepare some high-level ropes! We have to pull the flying saucer to the shore so we can hold it."
…
At this time, the little mirage dragon finally appeared. It was now the captain of the transport team and was suffering terribly.
In just one day, I swam almost a thousand kilometers!
When he heard that the conch had to be loaded down again, his little face suddenly looked like a shriveled eggplant.
The body of a dragon... the life of an ox or a horse! But there is no other way. Now it is the only one that has the ability to deliver people safely to the bottom of the sea.
"It would be nice if you grew up a little bit more..." The conch comforted it softly and gave it a red fruit.
The little mirage dragon wagged its tail proudly: I have grown up now!
I am now... a true "Golden Dragon"! (End of this chapter)
