"Oh my God, monsters are attacking the city?"
The moment they saw the grayish-black tide, the beasts gasped. Some people couldn't believe it. "Where did this playful Crimson Moon come from?"
"Young people nowadays are playing with yesterday's broken boats. You can't keep up with the times. Can you stop talking about old jokes? Let's surf the Internet together another day. "
"I just said it, okay? It's not my fault that I can't keep up with the times! "
"So you admit that you're talking about old jokes, right?"
The bird and the leopard bickered, but it heated up the atmosphere. It dispelled the shock and uneasiness in everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere was slightly relaxed.
The image on the screen was still moving forward.
It was as if they had flown into a gray ocean, and they couldn't see the end. Even with the phoenix's extreme speed, it couldn't go deeper into the endless gray.
It was better to say that even if they couldn't see it in person, everyone could catch a glimpse of the momentum and madness from the mottled gray.
It was a mixture of pale white and dark, a gray color made of blood and flesh.
Every ripple, every rise and fall, and even every pixel represented the existence of the enemy. If they looked down from a high altitude where they couldn't reach, it was just an insignificant gray.
But now, this boundless grey was gradually covering them. It would only take an instant to swallow up all their hard work over the past few days.
Even if each individual was insignificant, what was terrifying was the terrifying scale. It was as if the malice of the whole world was united and imposed on this lonely city.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
"Do you have a more detailed image?"
The one who asked was the representative of the scholars, the fox.
From the beginning to the end, it had its tail curled up, and there was an iron pipe in the corner of its mouth. It smoked leisurely, and then smoke mixed with water vapor rose from its fox head.
It was shockingly hot.
Behind it, illusionary bubbles kept rising and then quickly bursting. Those were countless possibilities and branches. In the madness that was close to exhaustion, countless solutions and answers kept appearing and being rejected.
Smack!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
It habitually raised its tail to wipe its mouth, picked up its special cup of water and rinsed its mouth. It wanted to vomit, but when it remembered that it was in Huai Shi's head, it suddenly felt embarrassed and swallowed it. It coughed twice and said, "The reference conditions are not enough. I need more details."
"No."
The Phoenix shook her head. "I wanted to go deeper, but I sensed something that could threaten me … That feeling, how should I describe it?"
It paused for a moment and said seriously, "Just like the Divine Remains."
In the silence, no one said anything.
"Then, let me give you a briefing." Fox's voice was still calm. "Two days ago, our furthest sentry post received an abnormal quality observation. At first, I thought … well, a few more companions like Huai Shi had rushed over, but in fact, the index was completely different from Huai Shi, so I asked the Immortal Bird to make an emergency trip, and the result was seen by everyone.
Now, our border sentry post has been silent for four hours and hasn't replied to any messages. It looks like they've been digested, right? "
"Is it confirmed?" Someone was still in disbelief.
"There's no need to think twice about the Corrosive Species." Fox calmly told the bad news. "What you saw just now were all Corrosive Species.
If I'm not wrong, these are all the things in this hell that can still breathe other than us — I mean, all of them, all of them.
I hope everyone can understand one thing. The enemies that are preparing to attack us now are all the remaining Corrosive Species in this hell. "
After Fox finished speaking, he emphasized again, "All of them."
There was no need to use numbers to estimate.
The space inside this witch's night was as big as a giant continent. Once the depth began to deepen, the number of Corrosive Species that produced aberrations would definitely be more terrifying.
Moreover, Corrosive Species could also reproduce. Some Corrosive Species that were known for their numbers could give birth to a hundred or eighty in a litter. A salmon could give birth to thousands of seeds at a time, and it would only be more exaggerated in the ecology of hell.
Just based on the range of the video, the preliminary estimate was that there were hundreds of millions of them. Just in terms of numbers, they had the ability to completely destroy the current Titan Empire.
Moreover, who said that Corrosive Species couldn't fuse with God's Remains?
A more pessimistic inference was: Was it possible that the explorers who had undergone deification would be corroded by the Abyss?
Most of the time, art came from reality. It wasn't unreasonable for the corruption to be three times stronger.
The attacking side naturally had the advantage.
"What's their purpose?" Hydra asked. "Is it really like the game mechanics, where a wave of monsters came to attack the city?"
"Isn't that simple? They're hungry and want to eat something. Unfortunately, all the hot food in this world jumped into the same bowl — "
After Fox's calm expression, the corner of his eyes twitched. He couldn't hide his regret.
In the end, it was still too early to be happy.
No, he should have thought of this when he chose the location to set up camp. In the end, he only paid attention to the rich mining area and the surrounding resources at that time. He didn't think that there would be new enemies after all the explorers united. As a result, all the war fortifications were only at the standard level. Although it wasn't abandoned, it didn't deliberately develop it.
It was just that the survival situation was already very serious. He didn't want to plant any seeds of disharmony because of the appearance of various weapons. In order to maintain stability, he deliberately maintained restraint in this aspect. Between 'military force' and 'survival,' he naturally leaned towards the latter.
In the end, it was hard to buy with money.
When the whole world gradually died, all the beasts would be prepared to fight to the death.
They didn't even need much rationality and thinking. As long as they could feel hunger, they would instinctively seek the existence of food. Some of the higher species could still maintain their thinking ability after being deformed. They were more difficult to deal with. They would even suppress internal friction and choose to join forces with their former strong enemies.
It was just like a miracle. If such an incident happened to humans, there would be countless poets singing about the greatness of human nature, right?
But now, the beast's nature had also become great.
It caught Fox off guard.
He suppressed the anger and frustration in his heart and forced himself to remain calm. "According to the estimation of the control room, according to their current speed, they should appear within our sight in another five days. Well, basically, it would be no different from reaching our doorstep by then."
"This speed might not be their highest speed." The diamond leopard, who had just livened up the atmosphere, reminded. "If they are hunting, then they must conserve their strength to the greatest extent."
"Then three days it is."
Fox said. "We have to prepare for the worst."
"And then?" Someone asked.
"Then conserve your strength, listen to orders, and bravely kill the enemy. There's no need to say more, but now is not the time for you to fight."
Fox sternly reminded. "I don't think I need to remind everyone of the meaning of this city. A stable base is the premise of all our plans. It is best not to have 'heroes' who run out to die without saying a word. Even if you can kill ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even a million enemies before you die, it's not worth it. Because your corpses can catalyze more corpses, and you might even become one of the enemies after you die.
So, the purpose of this meeting is to tell everyone that we will have a plan, we will carry out a plan, and we will win through this plan. That way, no matter how tragic the victory, it will not hurt us.
Remember, our goal is not to win, but to continue living in this dead world, and to continue living better. "
As he spoke in a low voice, the city behind him rumbled. As countless buildings moved, the entire steel city was instantly riddled with holes.
After the camouflage was removed, countless complex and massive underground fortifications were revealed, as well as countless silos that were aimed straight at the sky.
Then, countless blazing flames lit up in the metal silos, bursting out with a roar and stirring up layers of air. Then, the scorching heat swept along with the hurricane.
It pushed the heavy metal tree slowly into the sky.
It was as if thousands of stars had shot into the sky in an instant, illuminating the dark world in an instant, revealing a magnificent and desolate silhouette and dull gray hue.
Then, the thousands of stars silently flew into the distance.
Just like the stars scattered in all directions.
These messengers that symbolized peace did not have a single edge from top to bottom. Using a soft streamlined design, they did not carry the slightest hint of hostility.
The three-stage jet design ensured that the copy would be delivered to the recipient as quickly as possible.
On their outer shells were sealed matrices meticulously created by alchemists to preserve the laws and rules of physics from the present world.
And in the inner space, there was a gift from the host. Yes, a certain precious element that would release a green light that represented harmlessness and environmental protection.
Even the Corrosive species that did not know manners and civilization would be moved to tears after receiving this gift, right?
Through such friendly greetings, everyone would establish friendship and bonds, then resolve misunderstandings, and live happily in this world together.
It was as if they saw such a beautiful future waving at them. Everyone's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
"Wait a minute. Didn't you say that our war preparations are only at the standard level?"
"This is the standard level, that's right."
Fox replied calmly, wagging her tail. "It's just that the standards of the Abyss Development Bureau are a little different from the standards of other departments."
In the regulations of the Development Bureau, even if it was a standard level war plan, it should be enough to fight a war of attrition with three times the number of Abyssal civilizations with the same level of technology.
If it was not for the fact that the laws of physics in the present world were gradually becoming difficult to apply as the depth decreased, and they had to rely on alchemy to maintain it, their reserves should be enough to send all of Australia to the sky.
