Chapter 365: Los Santos changes hands and the aerospace carrier makes its maiden voyage.
As Li Xiang waved his hand, eighty or ninety holy beasts retreated.
These beasts all have their own tribes and territories, helping to guard the 72 hive underground cities in the country. Most of them have speeds between 1 and 5 Mach, but there are also a few that are particularly good at speed, between 10 and 15 Mach.
Li Xiang had also subdued a few of the creatures that had descended on Earth in peacetime, such as the Shadowy Tongue Demon and the Thousand-Bearded Abyss Queen. These also joined the battle just now. They were quite powerful and extremely ferocious. One of them even pierced the body of a Saint with its tentacles and sucked him dry.
Relatively speaking, Tuan Tuan, Dun Dun, Little Fox, and Er Huang are more "gentle". These are private house spirit beasts that can enter the underground city and are loved by the residents. They have lived in different environments since childhood and naturally cannot be compared with those vicious space beasts outside.
Judging from the results of the "Mind Image Trial" just now, although we don't know the way to the Qingling Star Region, there is at least one good news, that is, there is a new home in the universe that is suitable for human habitation.
And there are quite a few such habitable planets.
You don't need too many. Just find one or two that are similar to Earth and move there.
This kind of thing can only be done slowly. There is no way to hurry it up now.
"There are still three outsiders in Los Santos. Cai'er, you are responsible for guarding the house. I will bring people to deal with them!" Li Xiang said.
Jiang Caier nodded, and soon after, Li Xiang led Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the nine-headed holy-level spirit pet, and headed towards Los Santos together.
To be honest, Li Xiang could have taken care of those three people by himself. The reason he brought so many people there was that these guys were too bored staying in the dungeon and strongly demanded to go out for a ride.
On the way, Li Xiang joked: "We can also be considered as a team building, traveling to the apocalyptic ice and snow world!"
Tuan Tuan muttered, "This black fog is just too annoying. I can't see far!"
Even though they were Saint-level beasts, their eyes had some abilities, but the farthest they could see was only a few hundred meters, and no further. Only Li Xiang's "Nine Nether Delusion-Breaking Eyes" could see thousands of kilometers.
We took a few breaks and had a picnic.
Li Xiang also took Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui to "fight in the wild" and enjoy the fun of the wild. When the four of them were together, the nine-headed holy pet was sent away and moved freely.
Anyway, everyone had a great time.
Along the way, it was both team building and experience. They killed countless space monsters, but when they encountered native mutated creatures on Earth, they would let them go.
These native mutant creatures on Earth have only been mutated for a short time, so they are often not at a high level and are at the bottom of the food chain, so they are objects that need protection.
As for achievement points, spiritual medicines and extraordinary item rewards, now that there are too many space beasts to kill, Li Xiang naturally rarely attacks local mutant creatures.
After arriving in Los Santos, Li Xiang led everyone to sneak in through the earth tunnel and did not even go through the main entrance.
The three saints guarding this place are two men and one woman. From the information obtained from the previous "Trial of Mind Image", it is learned that these three are good friends with the three saints Su Xuanji, Xue Nishang, and Song Wanwan respectively. Yao Yao then transformed herself into Su Xuanji's appearance, and then went to find one of them (Su Xuanji's friend) mysteriously and asked her to meet in the secret room.
Li Xiang used his "group concealment" ability and hid in a corner of the secret room while holding Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui.
When that person saw "Su Xuanji" coming back alone and everyone else was nowhere to be seen, he thought that Su Xuanji had gotten some benefits and secretly came back to share them with her, so he came over with great interest.
As a result, when they arrived at the secret room, Yao Yao suddenly attacked, caught the opponent off guard, and killed him on the spot.
Oh my god, Li Xiang, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui who were hiding in the corner of the secret room didn't even have time to make a move before they were taken care of by Yao Yao.
Afterwards, Yao Yao transformed into Xue Nishang and Song Wanwan respectively, and used the same excuse to trick the other two people into a secret place. She then repeated the same trick and launched a surprise attack, killing or seriously injuring them.
When it came to the last one, I failed to kill him with one strike, but it didn’t matter, Li Xiang showed up and gave him another blow.
At this point, these outsiders were truly wiped out! Li Xiang wrote a long press release, announced the matter to the world, and announced that he would take over Los Santos and appoint Yao Yao as the city lord.
The Beautiful Country learned about the whole incident and found out that not only was Li Xiang a Saint, but there were also so many Saints who obeyed Li Xiang and did not dare to raise any objections.
In fact, the United States has long been torn apart. It used to be a federation, but now transportation is inconvenient, and each state, no, each underground city has long been independent. Even if Li Xiang returns Los Santos to them, no one can control it.
There are quite a few Chinese communities in Los Santos. At this time, they were very excited to learn that Li Xiang was taking over Los Santos, and that a famous Chinese beauty was the city lord.
These people posted comments online to express their joy.
The president of the Los Santos Chinatown Chamber of Commerce (ID "龙腾四海") said on the most famous local forum: "The first order of City Lord Yao Yao after taking office was to restart the Chinatown 'Guanghan Palace' cultural district! In the future, we can use the spiritual hot pot base of City 03 to cook synthetic beef! #华流即顶流#"
International student "California Xiaolongbao": "I used to be always harassed by the white guards, but now the patrols are all Chinese extraordinary people wearing erosion moon armor! Last night I used the "Li's Breathing Method" to break through to level 5 and directly received double the Spring Festival quota!"
Local white and black people in Los Santos also commented and congratulated Li Xiang on taking over Los Santos.
White veteran "Ranger Mike": "Last time during the Beast Tide, those politicians in the City Hall ran away first! Now that Li Sheng's nine-headed holy pet is guarding all the gates, I can finally sleep peacefully. By the way, will you give me an autographed photo of City Lord Yao if you join the City Defense Army?"
The leader of the black community shouted in a live broadcast: "We have had enough of unfair treatment! Li Sheng's "Mind Image Judgment" executed the vampires of the previous mayor. Under the new rules, cleaners can also be promoted to management through practice. This is true equality! We support Li Sheng and City Lord Yao Yao!"
At the same time, other major underground cities around the world also sent congratulatory messages.
Cape Town Underground City (Southern Africa Federation): "Congratulations on the restoration of order in Los Santos! We are willing to exchange chromium and platinum metal veins for the synthetic starch production line technology of City 03. Also attached is a handwritten letter from the Zulu High Priest: Can His Excellency Li Xiang's "Mind Image Judgment" identify "Voodoo Puppet"? The Tribal Alliance urgently needs to clean up the elders who have been polluted by the spirits of alien beasts!"
Vladivostok Underground City (Russian Far East Survival Zone): "Congratulations to Li Sheng for taking over Los Santos. We fully support it. In addition, a suspected nest of the God King Realm 'Frost Titan' was discovered in the Siberian permafrost area. The coordinates have been encrypted and transmitted."
Jerusalem United Underground City (Mediterranean Community): "The three major religious denominations jointly decided to designate the day when Lord Yaoyao took over as the 'New Era Year'."
Berlin Underground City (with German poem): "The Eastern dragon finally spreads its wings, and I hope to break the eternal night with the dawn. PS: Can I exchange the precious beer I had in stock for a black mist separator?"
…
At the same time, the exposure of the identity of the "outsider" has also sparked a lot of heated discussion and imagination among people.
For example, the top post on the Dawn Era Forum is: User "Star Traveler" (certified as a physicist in City 03): "From the fragments of the star map brought by the outsiders, there are uncontaminated star fields outside the Black Mist Star Field, such as the Qingling Star Field, which are suitable for human habitation! The "Deep Dive Plan" announced by Li Sheng has added an "Interstellar Coordinate Decoding Group". Perhaps within a hundred years, we will be able to drive an aerospace mothership across the star sea!"
As for the star map, Li Xiang naturally gave it to Jiang Caier, who shared it with everyone in the scientific research team. After all, it was just a star map, which could boost morale. If everyone worked together, maybe they could really decipher the coordinates?
Then some curious people analyzed the combat power and deterrence of Li Xiang and the sacred beasts under his command, causing global shock.
Internal report of the remnants of the North American government in exile (leaked by hackers): "Li Xiang has over 100 Saint-level warriors under his command, including the Star-Erosion Blood Vine, Black Flame Raven and other exotic beast legions. It is very likely that his personal strength has reached the 28th level."
South Asian netizen "佛系超能者" wrote: "Last time during the Beast Tide, Li Sheng swept across the Bay of Bengal alone. Now I heard that he can even kill the alien saint in seconds? I suggest that the Hindu gods should just give him the title of 'God of Destruction and Rebirth'!"
Tactical blogger "Jiang Caier Global Fan Club" released a simulation animation: the battle in which Li Xiang's team wiped out the Son of God and the Holy Daughter in 20 seconds was broken down into a chain of killing moves of "space confinement + Eclipse Moon Armor counter-injury + Abyss Evil Bell soul impact". The scene was extremely grand and gorgeous, with over 1 billion views.
In fact, it is not the same as the real scene. After all, the tactical blogger and his operation team did not go to the scene, and did not know the specific process. They just guessed based on the existing information. Even so, it has attracted many people to follow and discuss.
…
Li Xiang didn't pay too much attention to these. He was in Los Santos with Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui, assisting Yao Yao in handling government affairs.
Li Xiang transferred three thousand elite extraordinary people above level three from City 03 to assist Yao Yao. They were the backbone of the army.
The nine-headed holy-level pets like to wander around, so Li Xiang asked them to go back to pick up people and escort the army over.
Those three thousand extraordinary people did not walk, but were equipped with a small ice motorcycle that used nuclear fuel cells, had powerful power, and was also equipped with gliders, which allowed them to fly briefly over the ground. Now that the surface of the earth is covered with ice and snow, this nuclear-powered ice motorcycle can reach extremely fast speeds.
Moreover, each person has one, which makes it more maneuverable and safer. Large transport planes are too big to be targeted, and once they are shot down, the casualties will be heavy.
There were also three armies of exotic beasts that came with them: one was the Black Fire Crow, with two Saint-level leaders and more than twelve thousand below the Saint-level; one was the Star-Erosion Blood Vine, with one Saint-level leader and more than thirty thousand soldiers below the Saint-level; and one was the Shadow Abyss Tongue Demon, which was relatively small in number, with only one Saint-level and more than a hundred below the Saint-level, but was extremely powerful and fierce.
After all, Los Santos is now poorly guarded and far away in North America, and Li Xiang is worried about Yao Yao being alone here. He can't always stay here with Yao Yao.
Once things stabilize here, Li Xiang, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the nine-headed holy-level pet will all go back.
Los Santos was originally a megacity with a population of more than 18 million. However, it had been invaded by alien beasts before, and had experienced many wars, civil unrest, and the collapse of order. People died or left. Now the population is only about three million. Li Xiang re-registered all the extraordinary people in the city, totaling more than 27,000 people. All of these extraordinary people were incorporated into the army.
The many sects left behind by the saints in the past were naturally all abolished, and the same sect was disbanded and incorporated into different companies.
The three thousand extraordinary people from City 03 are officers, and these extraordinary people from Los Santos are soldiers, with the old leading the new and training every day.
Li Xiang believed that it wouldn't be long before he could form an army of his own.
Because of the defective "quick version" of the martial arts, there are already more than tenth-level extraordinary people in Los Santos. These people are judged by their minds one by one. Those who are extremely vicious are all killed, while those with lighter sins are pardoned and let bygones be bygones.
Adding some ordinary soldiers, Los Santos has nearly 200,000 troops. However, there are not many high-powered missiles, as they have been almost used up in the previous wars.
Li Xiang ordered two of the Earth Vein Crossroads to transport some high-powered rocket launchers and missiles.
"Brother is so good to me. Not only did he let me be the Minister of Economy, but now he has also given me military power and allowed me to be the lord of a city." Yao Yao was very happy. She wrapped herself around Li Xiang like an octopus and was unwilling to get off for a long time.
She is now able to stand on her own.
She has always envied Lei Xiaohui for being able to lead troops, and even hundreds of thousands of them at a time. Now, she also has an army of nearly 200,000. Although the combat power is definitely not as good as that of City No. 03, she can catch up with gradual training.
“It’s just that the population is too small, so it seems empty.”
You know, the Los Santos dungeon was designed for 18 million people, but now there are only 3 million people living there, so it naturally looks very empty and depressed.
"It's okay. I'll help you transport some more people over. Aren't there a lot of wanderers in the South Asian subcontinent? In addition, there are also many wanderers in North America. We'll work harder and subdue them one by one."
Li Xiang did what he said and took Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and nine holy-level monsters that had completed the escort mission to gather population on the North American continent.
With the Nine Netherworlds Delusion-Breaking Eyes and the ability to sense the earth veins, Li Xiang's first target was a force entrenched in an abandoned military base in the Rocky Mountains, now called the "Rust Brotherhood."
This force is composed of several former members of the United States Marine Corps, mechanics, and wilderness hunters. They control several destroyers, frigates, and armed trucks modified from the wreckage engines of a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The total population is approximately over 100,000.
Li Xiang led the group of Black Fire Crows to their base and waved his hand. The army of more than 10,000 Black Fire Crows began to attack, spewing flames. In less than 20 minutes, they melted the titanium alloy gate that they were most proud of.
"We only obey the leader who can feed us!" Scarface Joe, the leader of the Rust Brotherhood, said this when he knew he was no match for the enemy.
Li Xiang threw out a piece of compressed biscuit made of synthetic starch from City 03, which contained salt, vegetable oil, and some flavors and spices. The taste was quite good, not inferior to the compressed biscuits used by the military in peacetime. "I can't say anything else, but this stuff has everything. We can provide as much as you want."
The raw materials for synthesizing starch are carbon dioxide and water. As long as there is sufficient electricity, you can synthesize as much as you want. Li Xiang has the confidence! As soon as this "killer weapon" (in fact, the people in City 03 don't eat it at all, and even feed it to pigs) came out, the "Rust Brotherhood" immediately took advantage of the situation and surrendered, and immediately began to organize the base personnel to migrate.
With the escort of the Blackfire Crow, they had a safe journey and successfully arrived in Los Santos.
The "Rust Brotherhood" is not a lone wolf. As Li Xiang's work progressed, many scattered forces and wanderer camps on the North American continent began to migrate.
Li Xiang, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, the nine-headed holy-level pet, and the three armies of exotic beasts all participated in the escort work.
During this period, they were also attacked by other alien beast armies, but with Li Xiang escorting the team, the casualties were not particularly heavy.
Those who came to attack were often hunted down and exterminated by Li Xiang. He just had to fill up the position of "Beast Tamer - Canglin Yin" now, otherwise, he would definitely be able to subdue more.
About four to five million people were gathered on the North American continent. Later, Li Xiang took Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the nine-headed holy pet to the South Asian subcontinent. As for the three armies of alien beasts, they guarded the periphery of Los Santos to protect the safety of Yao Yao and Los Santos.
The wanderers on the South Asian subcontinent are easier to gather. After all, they have all received Li Xiang's favor before. As early as the peacetime era, he was the great messenger of God here. Now he has replaced the original gods, so it is not an exaggeration to call him the new god.
As soon as Li Xiang appeared, the vagrants knelt down one after another, and Li Xiang couldn't stop them.
"Hello, folks. I have a plan now and I need to ask for your opinions!" Li Xiang began his speech, but he only gave the beginning. Before he finished the main text, the wanderers responded one after another, saying that they were willing to cooperate with any plan.
When Li Xiang explained his plan in detail, the wanderers became even happier.
Then, the "expedition" journey began.
Although the journey is long, these low-caste people naturally have hope in their hearts at being able to live in the more advanced and safer Los Santos, which has been famous since peacetime.
There is a "Bollywood" in the South Asian subcontinent, which specializes in making movies, and this name is a copy of "Hollywood". And "Hollywood" is one of the most famous industries in Los Santos. Even now, there are still a small number of people in Los Santos who still stick to this career.
There are also several extraordinary actors among them. When extraordinary actors shoot blockbusters, they don’t even need special effects, they can directly produce super special effects.
Starting from the South Asian subcontinent to the North American continent is much farther than starting from Country C. In particular, most of these wanderers are ordinary people, and there are a large number of elderly, weak and disabled people, unlike the 3,000 extraordinary special forces in City 03 who can ride snowmobiles.
Even with Li Xiang's strength, he still had a headache after leading his men for a while, as he lost a lot of people along the way.
"This still won't work."
Fortunately, after about half a month, Jiang Caier brought good news: the aerospace carrier project in City No. 03 has made great progress, and the first-generation aircraft "Cloud Whale" has been developed and successfully tested. It can be used to transport these wanderers, but since it is only the first generation, there may be huge risks.
Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Even if something happens, I can protect these residents."
Jiang Caier: "There may not be any risk, I'm just telling you in advance."
The Cloud Whale has a huge space and can transport 300,000 people at a time. It is also extremely fast and can reach the sky above Los Santos from India in just 10 to 20 minutes.
When the huge Cloud Whale, which was as big as a small town, appeared above the team, exclamations broke out one after another among the ragged crowd.
An old man with white hair and beard crawled on the ground tremblingly, with his forehead pressed against the ice, and shouted: "Garuda! This is the reincarnation of the giant golden-winged bird in the Mahabharata, who has come to save us!" Hundreds of people behind him followed suit and bowed, and suddenly a sound of pious prayers rose on the ice field.
Several Dalit teenagers excitedly climbed up the broken concrete blocks, pointed at the streamlined ship body looming in the black fog in the sky and shouted: "Look at those anti-gravity engines! The blue light is brighter than the moon on the Ganges!"
The high-temperature blue light emitted by the aerospace mothership's engine is so large that it can penetrate and blow away the black fog, making it quite eye-catching in the sky.
The boys had secretly circulated the science and technology pictorials of City 03 at the wasteland market. Now, seeing the legendary aerospace mothership with their own eyes, their dirty little faces turned red.
Women holding babies gathered together, looking at the twelve guiding light beams slowly unfolding from the belly of the ship and sobbing: "Shiva bless, the children will finally not have to step on corpses to cross the Khyber Pass." They wrapped their faded saris tightly and stuffed the last few treasured chickpeas into the mouths of their children - these were originally life-saving rations, but now there was no need to save them.
"Everyone, attention! 100 people in a row, those holding electronic nameplates will be given priority to board the ship!" The mechanical synthesized voice pierced through the howling cold wind, but the crowd became abnormally quiet.
After Li Xiang's teaching during this period, the ragged vagrants knew what to do and they spontaneously gave way to pregnant women and the wounded.
When the first beam of light enveloped the crowd, an out-of-tune version of the "Rag Song" suddenly sounded somewhere, and soon became a chorus of thousands of people. The ancient melody resonated in the silver-gray nano armor of the Cloud Whale.
In order to prevent alien beasts from attacking the aerospace mothership, Li Xiang transferred more than ten holy-level spirit beasts from the country to come and escort it. However, some ignorant space alien beasts still launched sneak attacks.
Li Xiang did not let the spirit beasts attack, but only let them guard the aerospace mothership, and then took the opportunity to test the high-energy ion cannon that came with the aerospace mothership.
"Boom~", a huge beam of light shot out, and the twenty-seventh-level holy beast that came to attack was pierced through in an instant and fell to the ground.
Even Li Xiang couldn't help but cheer: "Cai'er is so awesome!"
Finally, humans have high-tech weapons that can directly kill holy-level space monsters!
In fact, this project was started in peacetime, but there has been no major breakthrough. It was only after Jiang Caier joined that progress began to be made.
Now, it is directly loaded onto the aerospace mothership.
"I wonder if it can deal with a god-level or higher?" Li Xiang wondered in his heart, but soon shook his head, it should not be possible for the time being. He ordered and fired a few more shots, carefully felt the power of the high-energy ion cannon at close range, and self-evaluated that this high-energy particle cannon might not even be able to seriously injure him.
And his current combat capability is equivalent to that of a lower-middle god-level being.
With the previous "establishment of power", no more space monsters came to die, and the transportation of population went smoothly.
The South Asian subcontinent contributed about 8 to 9 million people, and with the previous population, Los Santos once again became a super city in terms of population alone, with a total population of more than 16.3 million.
