Gaia ninth year, 20th of October. It was a day worth remembering.
At nine in the morning, Gaia suddenly released a video on its official website. The video showed the base that the advance fleet had built on Planet Hope — Hope City.
The players were no strangers to this city. Not long ago, when Gaia announced the construction plan for Planet Hope, they had also announced the latest construction situation of Hope City.
The majestic city was very reassuring.
What was shocking was that the city that carried the hope of humanity was now in a sea of fire.
Above the city, hundreds of wyverns with wings that covered the sky and large scales were circling around. Their mouths were filled with fangs as they spewed out scorching flames.
The flames were so domineering that they turned the steel city into molten iron. It was terrifying.
And at the city wall, a row of ten-meter-tall Titans wielding hammers the size of cars smashed the seemingly sturdy city wall into pieces.
It was unknown what the hammers were made of, but they had such power. Under the hammers, the reinforced concrete city wall was like tofu, unable to withstand a single blow.
Even the ground was shaking as cracks the size of bowls appeared.
Before this, no one would have imagined that there would be such a domineering way of attacking a city in the world.
As the city wall collapsed, the Direbeast horde that had been surrounding the city surged into the city like a tidal wave. The number of Direbeasts was so great that it was impossible to count them. It formed a sea of Direbeasts.
Among the Direbeasts, the players discovered familiar Tyrannosaurus, Pterosaurs, and Velociraptors. There were also Direbeasts that the players had never seen before. All of them were ferocious and imposing.
In the city, humans were like ants as they were ravaged by all sorts of Direbeasts.
The Direbeast Tide that filled the sky nearly drowned the entire city. What was even more terrifying was that the humans' laser weapons and even laser cannons were ineffective when they hit the Fire Dragons or Titans.
Even the other Direbeasts only suffered some flesh wounds under the laser gun's attack.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the bodies of these top Direbeasts were covered with a thin layer of energy. It completely blocked the attacks of the human weapons, preventing them from causing any damage to their bodies.
These top Direbeasts were the culprits behind the destruction of the city.
Without their leadership, the Direbeast horde would not have been able to successfully attack the city.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the image of the City of Hope that was gradually turning into ruins. His face tightened, and he began to wonder why he had not seen such Fire Dragons or Titans in the Direbeast Atlas that Gaia had revealed.
Previously, Gaia had rewarded Ouyang Shuo with a "Planet of Hope's Resource Handbook". It contained information on the various beasts on Planet of Hope. It was more complete than the game.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo found the ferocious Beast Tide extremely unfamiliar.
It was reported that after the vanguard fleet built their base, they arranged for artificial satellites to conduct a full coverage of Hope Planet, with no blind spots.
In the following period of time, a large number of drones were sent deep into the wilderness, forests, mountains, deserts, swamps, and other places on Hope Planet to conduct detailed investigations.
Direbeasts. Dragons. of. from the Direbeasts Direbeest. as Drones. Tri. Dragons of the Dragons Recorded the drones recorded a live.
If necessary, the drones could even send out robots to collect Specimens..
. That was how most of the Direbeasts in the game came.
Logically, it was impossible for Direbeasts like the Fire Dragons and Titans to escape the drones' detection. Ignoring everything else, just the heat emitted from their bodies could be sensed by the drones' heat conduction devices.
If not, then the only explanation was that these beasts had extraordinary intelligence. They were either hiding deep in the mountains, in caves, or in swamps to avoid detection.
The hammer in the Titan's hand also proved this point.
The hammer was obviously forged. This meant that these top Direbeasts had mastered the forging method. Perhaps they could no longer be seen as simple beasts. Instead, they were another type of intelligent species.
They were on equal footing with humans.
After four years, these Direbeasts emerged from their hiding places and quickly gathered together. Under the leadership of the top Direbeasts, they destroyed the "invaders" in one fell swoop.
Such a guess made Ouyang Shuo shudder.
Without a doubt, be it Gaia or humans, they had greatly underestimated the danger of Planet Hope. It was a planet far more dangerous than the game world.
There were too many mysterious creatures living on the planet.
Ouyang Shuo could no longer determine if the Fire Dragons and Titans were the top Direbeasts on Planet Hope. Perhaps, there were even more domineering creatures above them.
Against these top Direbeasts, ordinary laser weapons were useless.
Perhaps missiles could cause serious damage to these Direbeasts, but they might not be able to kill them. Moreover, missiles were long-range weapons. They were not suitable to deal with the Direbeasts that had already entered the city.
Above the missile was the nuclear bomb.
Unfortunately, Earth had already destroyed all nuclear weapons in the Federation era. Not to mention the advance fleet, even the Interstellar Migration Fleet did not carry nuclear bombs.
Even if they did, it was not suitable to use them.
Planet Hope was humanity's last hope. If they fired a nuclear bomb, it would be equivalent to suicide. They would personally send Planet Hope to its doom.
Even Planet Hope could not withstand a few nuclear bombs.
Ouyang Shuo was even more worried. If they fired a nuclear bomb, not only would the radiation not have any side effects on the Direbeasts, it would also stimulate the Direbeasts to mutate and increase the danger on Planet Hope.
If that was the case, they would really be shooting themselves in the foot.
At the end of the video was the City of Hope, which had been completely reduced to ruins. Above the ruins of the city, the Direbeasts were roaring at the sky and "celebrating" wantonly. Their faces seemed to be filled with mockery.
The entire advance fleet was left with two spaceships that were still in Planet Hope's orbit. They floated alone on the orbit, recounting a sense of desolation.
Humanity's first expedition to Planet Hope had ended in a crushing defeat!
Many players cried after watching the video. They could not accept such a failure. Some even said sorrowfully, "Could it be that humanity no longer has a way out?"
The destruction of the City of Hope seemed to represent the destruction of humanity's hope.
Even the City of Hope, which had been built for four years, seemed so vulnerable in front of the Direbeasts. People could not imagine how the three sub-bases that the fleet was about to build could survive on Planet Hope.
The three spots that Gaia had given out had gone from being highly sought after to a hot potato.
"What should we do?"
People were shouting, panicking, and asking for help …
Gaia gave them a solution.
