Chapter 376 The End of the War
People were really shocked when they heard this. An alien who could split his soul wiped out an entire civilization! This meant that the high-level ruins that could be exchanged for civilization points were actually... not a safe place.
If there are malicious beings hidden inside, they can kill you with just a little effort! Now, many people really feel a little lost, thinking that there is no safe place in the vast sky, the vast ocean, and the endless continent.
The sound in the headphones was a bit noisy, a mixture of the chopped sound of cold weapons and the roars of soldiers.
Lu Yuan's voice also sounded a little tired: "Based on the above analysis, we can boldly guess that the reason why the relics of advanced civilizations can be exchanged for the so-called 'civilization points' is because... the guardians of the 'civilization points' are profitable!"
"Civilization points may be the crystallization of historical destiny. Many milestone events that happened in the past are the destiny bestowed upon us by the entire Pangu Continent. They are precious things, not simply 1 point for 1 spiritual charm."
"The so-called high-level ruins are most likely just a trading location."
"Those guardians need this precious idealistic luck to increase their lifespan, or to strengthen their sealing abilities, or to achieve other functions..."
Yes, although Lingyun is a truly good thing, using it to purchase legendary items is the upper limit of its value.
Then there are the epic, immortal, and mythical levels, all of which are priceless.
The same may be true for "civilization points". The price given by that alien is 1 point for 1 spiritual charm. The actual value should be far more than that, but humans are unable to understand it for the time being.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone should disenchant these high-level ruins guardians!"
"We need to be on guard and careful, but we also need to make use of them, but there is no need to be in awe of them."
"Even if we meet in the future, we will just take what we need and it will be a fair trade."
This explanation really dispelled a lot of unknown fog!
Yes, why can "relics of advanced civilization" be exchanged for civilization points?! Do you really think that Pangu Continent is a game field and you can use digital currency to buy goods?
Because it is profitable! Civilization points are not a string of numbers, nor are they rewards from the so-called "gods", but are truly the historical accumulation of luck, and may even be the highest level of idealistic energy.
Of course, people do not rule out the possibility that some advanced civilizations have good intentions. For example, "God" does have a bit of good intentions, but he is just a little bit stupid.
And the gear civilization also carries a subtle hint of kindness.
But that was all! No, there was another place that was always warm, and that was one's own home. A home guarded with blood and sweat would always be warm! Even the craftsmen of the Shumiba civilization came out of the wall, scratching their heads and ears, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Is that true?"
"I don't know... I really can't remember."
They really forgot this important information, otherwise they would not have survived the epoch disaster...
"However, if we consume the accumulated civilization points, wouldn't that be equivalent to wasting our luck and be detrimental to the future?" a human craftsman asked subconsciously.
The ratmen craftsmen thought about it for a long time and concluded that... actually it wouldn't happen.
The thing called "luck" is actually very mysterious. It is a dynamically changing process.
It’s like a craftsman who, with the help of the “fortune” of civilization, creates a legendary masterpiece. Does that mean the luck of the entire civilization will be reduced by one point?
Of course not.
Not only has it not decreased, but it has increased!
Because the entire civilization has gained a masterpiece! That is, this piece of fortune has been preserved forever.
The so-called "civilization points" should be the same principle. It is just the accumulation of the past and does not affect the present.
It is just more illusory, invisible and intangible, not as concrete as a legendary masterpiece. But it does exist and can be measured with data.
Lu Yuan’s explanation was almost complete: “This is the general truth. There is no need to panic! Let us unite as one and get through this disaster!”
Just like that, after some detailed discussion and preparation, the Sky City drove into the thick white fog.
Countless distorted monsters transformed from marine creatures rushed towards the city!
Fortunately, there were not many people in the city, so some rats and cockroaches were slaughtered!
Humanity has pulled all its defenses back to the Green Mountain.
However, except for the Zerg warriors who can withstand the white fog, the other extraordinary creatures are actually unable to withstand it. If they inhale even a little bit, they will be deformed.
So the one million hibernation chambers that were built at great cost finally came in handy. Chicken snakes, mother bears, old wolves, a large group of laying hens, and more than 100,000 birds were all urgently stuffed into the hibernation chambers.
"Enemy attack!"
The dark masses of deformed monsters surged up like a tide.
They have various shapes and make snarling noises.
The Source Fire Puppet Mech was at the forefront, and the sound of thermal weapons resounded throughout the battlefield! This war was more intense than the battle with the fishmen. The number of enemies was large and dense, while the number of soldiers participating in the battle had decreased.
What was even more terrifying was the thick gray fog. If a warrior below level 4 inhaled it, his body would be deformed! Therefore, there was no option of getting hurt.
War puppets can indeed protect humans from the invasion of thick fog, but there are only so many of them, and most of the soldiers are still wearing rubber protective suits from the laboratory.
This kind of clothes is incredibly fragile in front of monsters.
"If you notice that the protective clothing is damaged, go to the ultimate shelter immediately for emergency hibernation!" Several officers shouted. They saw with their own eyes that more than a dozen soldiers had their protective clothing torn by monsters and became deformed. They were extremely anxious.
For lower life forms, the toxicity of the ghost fog is still too high.
"Let the militia participate in the battle, mainly responsible for rescuing the deformed personnel!" A scientist shouted in the headset, "As long as they hibernate urgently, they will wake up one day."
"Trust us, we will definitely find a way to solve the distortion!"
There was no other way at this point, and the militia group finally joined the battlefield.
People fought in silence. The monsters were not that strong, but the power of pollution was indeed formidable.
The bullets in the ammunition depot were also being consumed rapidly. As soon as someone showed signs of distortion, his companions would immediately take him into the hibernation chamber, and then the rest would take his place!
No one retreated at this critical moment. The ratmen craftsmen hid in the shelter. They had originally given up hope and wanted to escape, but now they secretly came back to help transport the wounded.
…
…
As the sky gradually darkened, the full moon hung high overhead, shining through the gray mist, bringing a radiance that was better than nothing.
However, several giant insects such as Leviathan did not join the battlefield at the first time.
They and several cranes were frantically pulling on ropes, trying to pull the UFO out of the deep sea.
Such a large flying saucer weighs only 5.132 million tons, which is very light. I wonder what material it is made of.
The 11-kilometer-long rope was dragged for more than an hour. From time to time, various strange monsters attacked them, but the Leviathan swallowed them into its stomach.
“Beep!”
Leviathan shouted, appearing extremely delighted.
Several engineers were delighted: "Finally got it out!!"
The entire flying saucer was a bright silver-white color, with some seaweed-like stuff wrapped around the bottom.
The passage of time has not left too many traces on it, and under the moonlight, it reflects beautiful white light.
But before they could be too happy, people suddenly realized that almost all the monsters rushed towards the flying saucer like crazy! Dark clouds blocked the sky, and the dark tide of monsters was like a group of black ants.
"Are there any more Spiritual Word Runes?"
"No...it's all used up!"
"What other means are there?"
"Our shells are running low, and we lack hot weapons... All we can do is fight with cold weapons."
At this moment, the Tree of Life in the center of the Green Mountain finally moved! This tree had not moved for decades since it was located near the tiankeng. At this moment, it made a furious explosion.
It first bloomed with a lot of green light, and a large number of leaves fell off to protect the sinkhole.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With a sudden teleportation, he arrived at the edge of the green mountain, and several vines were waving over in a sweeping gesture.
The friction between the vines and the air produced a sonic boom that exceeded the speed of sound!
In just one move, hundreds of monsters were cut in half alive.
Then, the vines of the Tree of Life tightly bound the flying saucer, and burst into green light, and actually pulled the flying saucer out of the sea! With a fierce swing, the monster lying on it suddenly fell from the sky like raindrops.
After placing the flying saucer on the open ground, the Tree of Life teleported back again to guard the tiankeng.
Lu Yuan shouted loudly: "Zerg warriors, listen up, with the Tree of Life as the core, shrink the defense line to a range of 1 kilometer and guard our homeland!"
"Human soldiers, take a break for a while!"
The human army and the Zerg army fought and retreated, all the way to a canyon in the Green Mountain. The terrain here was relatively dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Tree of Life stretched out a large number of vines to join the battle.
Even the carnivorous plant joined in the battle, constantly slaughtering the enemies.
The brutal battle...lasted for three full days.
The number of monsters finally began to decrease.
Five days later, the bodies piled up like a mountain, like a real mountain. The blood dyed the ocean red.
Until seven days later, there was no longer a living monster!
To be precise... this layer of thick fog emitted by the [ghost] still exists, surrounding Green City and Green Mountain.
Humans are unable to deal with this derivative of "ghosts" at the moment.
But all marine life within a radius of 100 miles has been completely wiped out!
Therefore, even if the ghost fog still exists, it will no longer be able to create more deformed monsters.
…
"Victory?"
After fighting for seven consecutive days, even the Tree of Life Lu Yuan felt a little tired.
As for the remaining human warriors, those Zerg who were still alive, they did not feel any joy of victory. They just numbly accepted the fact that they were still alive and had won a tragic victory.
This time I was really numb. When the adrenaline was exhausted and the physical strength was depleted, the only thing that could come into play was willpower.
Lu Yuan really wanted to take a nap, but at this moment he could only grit his teeth.
"Master Lu, take the Zerg to clean up the battlefield. Eat what is edible, and throw what is inedible directly into the sea to avoid a plague."
"Yes!" Lu Da, who had lost a wing, limped away.
"Lu Er, what's wrong with you?"
"I……"
Lu Er was bitten by something and one of his thighs became deformed. He could only temporarily hibernate in a hibernation chamber.
Lu Xiao also suffered a deformation.
Leviathan... is still alive.
Mammoths are still alive...
Even many Zerg warriors suffered inexplicable deformation and entered a dormant state.
As for humans, they were licking their wounds silently, busy in an orderly yet sad way.
In fact, most people have been frozen in hibernation chambers. Only a small number of scientists and engineers are wearing protective clothing and moving around in the thick fog. There is no other way. Even if the war is so fierce, the nuclear power plant still has to be started, otherwise the entire city will sink directly.
A day later, the indefatigable old cat reported a series of lists.
“The war losses came out.”
"Oh, I really don't want to listen." Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The ammunition of all sizes in the treasury is almost empty. We lost 34 war puppets. The loss of these supplies is about 2,000 spiritual energy."
"We lost 78 Zerg warriors, and 492 of them were deformed... They fell into hibernation, and it is unknown whether they can be rescued. The rest of the Zerg warriors were injured to varying degrees, but they were not life-threatening, so we will not count them."
Lu Yuan, who only had one arm, couldn't help but swallow.
"Humans suffered some casualties in the previous war with the Nanyu civilization. After the battle with this deformed monster, they suffered heavy losses again."
"We estimate that the direct death toll is around 1,050. The number of people attacked by the ant chips and fell into a coma is about 20,000. The number of deformed people may be over 180,000. The exact number has yet to be counted. Fortunately, all the injured have been frozen... There is still a chance of rescue."
The time spent in the tiankeng is one percent of that in the outside world, and the metabolic rate in the hibernation chamber is one ten-thousandth of the normal level.
Adding the two together, one day in the hibernation chamber is equivalent to 2739 years in the outside world! Indeed... there is still a chance to save it.
When Lu Yuan heard this number, he really couldn't breathe.
Thinking of the more than a thousand people who died in the battle, his face turned gloomy.
But these more than a thousand people are still small heads. The more 160,000 distortions... are the real big heads!
