Chapter 286 The chaotic fulcrum inside and outside the city(1/2)
After cutting off the communication, I could only jump on the bird and then fly straight to Japan. Although this was a cross-border flight, fortunately the bird was fast enough. And the distance between China and Japan was not actually very far, so I arrived at the fulcrum city without long.
Although it had been a long time since the explosion, when I arrived at the fulcrum city, I could still clearly feel that the situation in the city was very bad at this time.
The fulcrum city itself is still standing there, but this side of the sea has basically been completely destroyed, and our transnational teleportation array has also been reported. However, unlike other buildings, the transnational teleportation array is a special building, so it was repaired immediately after it was destroyed. I don’t know why it was disturbed. Even though the teleportation array itself was repaired, it still cannot be used. Now this half of the entire fulcrum city’s Xicheng District is completely a messy pile of rubble, except for the ruins, there are piles of stones, seaweeds and various marine creatures that have been rushed from the bottom of the sea. I even found a blue-ringed sea dragon on a street in the city.
The Blue Ring Sea Dragon is a kind of marine monster, which is about the same size as a sperm whale, but its body is slightly longer than a sperm whale. This thing is a relatively powerful monster in the sea. Generally, players and small and medium-sized ships dare not provoke it. Moreover, they often attack players and ships on their own initiative. Only medium and large warships can ignore the attacks of this thing. Even small warships have to circumvent it when they see it. However, even such a powerful creature is dead now and cannot die anymore. Although this Blue Ring Sea Dragon is a monster, it is a real aquatic animal and cannot get ashore at all. Moreover, it has no lungs, so it will die once it comes out of the water.
I put away the flying birds, spread my wings and slowly glided over the blue-ringed sea dragon, and then landed lightly on the street. As soon as I touched the ground, I felt that the ground seemed a little uneven. When I looked down, I found that the ground was covered with sand and stones of various sizes, most of which were building fragments, and some were rolled up from the mud and sand in the sea.
Stepping on the uneven mud, sand and gravel, I quickly walked towards the central area of the city. There, I could clearly see a large number of players gathering around a building and wonder what they were busy with.
Because everyone was busy, no one noticed that I arrived at the scene. It was not until I grabbed a player to ask about the situation that the other party noticed that I was coming.
"President?"
"What are you doing?" I pointed to the pile of ruins in front of me. It looked like the wreckage of a building, but I came and went in a hurry to the fulcrum city and didn't stay in the city for long, so I don't know what kind of building this is.
The player immediately said when he heard my question: "President, please help me. This is the entrance to our city defense center. The fixed turret on the left side of the road was overturned by the waves and buried the entrance."
"Even if it is buried, it's no big deal, right? Just dig it up. Why are you doing so urgently? Now the repair of city walls and defense facilities is the top priority, right?"
"But someone was buried inside!"
"Someone was buried?"
The player nodded vigorously and said, "Several members and NPCs are below. Now they are filled with sea water. They can only rely on a few helmets that bring underwater breathing to maintain their lives, but they have more people than helmets, so they can only take their breaths in rotation. I'm afraid they won't last long!"
"You all dodge." After understanding the reason, I quickly let the busy people above go to the side. Those people were still angry that who was making trouble at this time. After looking up and seeing me, I immediately understood that I was going to help, so I quickly jumped out of the ruins. After seeing that everyone came down, I summoned King Kong directly. Although there are many big men among my demon pets, King Kong is in a gorilla shape, with flexible hands and feet than ordinary creatures, and its power is large enough. It is the most suitable time for him to go on this occasion.
As soon as King Kong came out, he followed my instructions to hug a large piece of rubble and threw it to the side, and then he repeatedly removed most of the rubble. He quickly swept the ground with his arm and cleared the remaining fragments to the side. Without the obstacles of these rubbles, we still couldn't see the entrance, because there was still about seven or eight centimeters deep on the ground and not completely slapped it off, but this was not a problem. King Kong directly reached out and touched the water for a few times and found the entrance, then pressed down hard and pulled it up quickly. With a bang, a metal lid with a diameter of six or seven meters was lifted up.
The defense center below is responsible for controlling urban defense facilities, which is considered a very important facility, so it was designed underground. The original consideration was that this could prevent direct destruction by enemy artillery fire in battle, but we did not expect that sea water would flow backwards. Of course, it would be fine if it was just a normal sea water backwards. The underground center is actually waterproof and has drainage devices. The key is that the sea water was blown up this time because of an explosion, which is equivalent to instantly covering the entire city with water. Not only is it too fast, but the impact force in front is too great, which damages the entrance of the underground center, which not only causes the underground center to leak, but also even the drainage and irrigation equipment to be damaged.
As soon as we opened the entrance, several heads immediately emerged from below. After one of them came out, he first looked around and counted the heads, and then planned to swim back, but I quickly pulled him out of the water with a quick eye. "Is someone stuck below?" I mentioned the player and asked directly.
The player was stunned when he saw me, then suddenly reacted and shouted: "It's our technical director, S-level NPC."
"Do you know where you are trapped?"
"It should be in the equipment computer room. There is an independent sealed door there, which may not be flooded by water, but the water pressure must have damaged the door structure and made the door unable to open. The computer room is very small, and there are three of them inside. In this completely sealed environment, it is estimated that the oxygen will not last long."
I thought about it and summoned Xiaolongnu and directly asked Xiaolongnu to create a tornado. I used the suction power of the tornado to directly drain all the water below. Although I have never been in this monitoring center, I think it will not be too small. If I go on like this, it is better to drain the water inside and then the player goes down to lead the way. It would be easier. If the person is trapped below is an ordinary NPC or a player, it would be fine. Players can die at most one level of death, and although there are losses, it is not a big deal. Although ordinary NPCs only have one life, this kind of NPC is really just an ordinary NPC, just like ordinary NPCs.
The same troops built in the game are the same, and they don’t feel sorry for the death. However, S-level NPCs are different. This kind of NPC is actually the classification of our guild, not the system classification. The system only has four categories: ordinary, advanced, elite, and special. Among them, ordinary ones are the most common, and advanced ones are rare, but not rare. Moreover, as long as ordinary NPCs are assigned to work, they will naturally become advanced NPCs after a period of time. As for elites... There are fewer levels, and they cannot be cultivated with ordinary NPCs. They can only be cultivated with advanced NPCs. The success rate is not high, so they are relatively important.
Special NPCs are a very rare NPC category. The number of NPCs is extremely rare and belongs to the type that is hard to come by. It is very good to have one or two medium and large guilds. Small guilds can hardly see such NPCs. As for the first-line large guilds, there are basically seven or eight. Because of my reasons, players in our guilds seem to have a collection habit. The result is that if you look for one tomorrow, they will find one. In the end, the number of special NPCs in our guilds is over 100. Of course, even if it is over 100, that is not too many. After all, special NPCs in NPCs are equivalent to Einstein and Tesla in the crowd. They are people who don’t think there are too many. Of course, special NPCs are not all technical, combat-type, and they are more precious than technical.
Our guild has always been very strict in recruiting players, so the screening standards for NPCs are also quite strict. We generally do not allow ordinary NPCs to hold any positions, and they will come in to train them unless they find that they have good potential. Otherwise, they can only be laborers. Senior NPCs are the official NPCs of our guild, while elites are the backbone. Special NPCs belong to the leadership, rare and scarce, and are generally supervisor-level figures in particularly important departments.
We generally do not classify ordinary and advanced NPCs. The rank of NPCs is like this. Ordinary and advanced NPCs are both F-level, and then elite NPCs are classified into E-level to B based on their potential and their own ability direction, while special NPCs are divided into A-level to 3S based on their ability and potential characteristics.
The NPC who is trapped below is actually an S-level NPC. There are less than twenty such NPCs in our entire guild. How can we give up such an existence? Even if I die once, it will be much smaller than losing one such NPC.
With the help of Xiaolongnu, more than half of the sea water below was pulled out within ten seconds, but the remaining part was not easy to pump. After all, if the water is low, the air pressure will change, and it is not so easy to continue pumping. However, the water surface below just exceeded the height of the waist, so it can save people.
After the water was pumped out here, I took back Xiaolongnu and King Kong first, and then asked the player to lead the way to go down below with him. The corridor below the control room was full of water, and there was also a lot of debris on the ground. The natural environment in the rope was relatively good, and there was not much mud and sand in the sea water, so our progress was not affected by the sediment of mud and sand.
Someone who recognized Ruth and we knew the control room directly. The player immediately rushed to the door and smashed it hard twice and shouted loudly: "Little Supervisor? Little Supervisor? Are you inside?"
Although I was confused about the name of this NPC, my attention was quickly attracted by the sound in the door. Although there was no answer, there was a knocking sound from the door. I guess it was probably because of the long-term closed environment that caused the internal hypoxia, and the people inside might have no energy to speak. However, being able to knock on the iron door means that they are not dead yet.
"Don't move, we'll save you now." I shouted into the gate, then let the player lean against it, and then turned Eternity into an awl. No matter how many holes were poked at a higher position on the door, they were in one breath. These holes were just a circle, and I smashed the metal plate in the middle with one force.
After a big hole, I could see what was inside, and the hole also helped to breathe. After stretching my head and confirming that no one was blocking the door, I used the Eternal Change blade to cut off the connection between the door latch and the door, but it was probably really deformed, and the door that had lost its support was still not fast. Finally, I simply used Eternal to draw a fork on the door, and then stepped up, and the door finally fell apart.
As soon as the gate fell, we rushed in immediately, and found that there was only the S-level NPC in the room. But this is understandable. These special NPCs are equivalent to advanced players, and they are stronger than ordinary NPCs. This is not only reflected in their abilities, but also in their physical aspects. So the other two ordinary NPCs were suffocated to death, but this S-level NPC was still alive, but she was obviously at the limit. As long as we were a little later, she would definitely be finished.
After confirming that no more people were trapped below, I took them out of the underground center, handed them over to the players who were helping around me, and then opened the Earth Gate and placed it next to me, and then called Sgoth and the others out.
The city is full of ruins, and people are in urgent need of rescue and cleaning. However, because the cross-border teleportation array is disturbed, even if there are people on the guild, my Kirin Warrior can come in handy in this case. After all, there are more than 20,000 people, and it may be useless to encounter high-end players in combat, so it is still very useful to participate in the rescue.
In addition to the Kirin Warrior, I also have the Death Guard to summon, and the number is astonishing. I release all these summoned creatures and tell them to find out where they can help. Then I quickly ran to the east of the city, which is facing the inland direction of Japan.
The senior players and gods of our guild are still concentrated here and have not entered the city to help with rescue work. It is not that they are lazy or that they don’t want to help, but that they don’t dare to leave at all.
When I arrived on the city wall, I found that the outside of the city was no longer empty, but a lot of creatures gathered. Some of them were obviously players, and I also noticed sharply that many of them were marked by the New Black Dragon Society, which means that these were Matsumoto Masaki.
In addition to those players, there are many monsters with different appearances nearby. These monsters should have been brought by Yaqi Orochi before to prepare for siege. However, it seems that although Yaqi Orochi gave up the attack, these monsters did not leave for some reason.
In fact, in addition to the above two groups, there seem to be third-party forces on the scene. These are also players, but they are not together with the previous two groups of creatures, but gather independently and don’t know what they are doing.
I didn't know what was going on with the strange situation at the scene, so I could only ask Hongyue who had been on the city wall. After I went to intercept the reinforcements from the Koreans, Hongyue was in charge of the matter here, so she understood the situation here.
"Hongyue. What's going on outside?"
After seeing me coming, Hongyue immediately asked in surprise: "I just asked the Soldier God why you haven't arrived yet. The Soldier God said you died. What's going on? Was it that explosion?"
"Did you see it?"
"Nonsense, the fulcrum almost turned into Atlantis. Do you think I'm so blind and can't even see the noise?"
"That's right." I nodded and said, "I found the submarines that the scouts saw, but after I went in, I found that there were Koreans inside. The other party probably mistakenly thought that we had seen through the Yaki Orochi plan. When the structure saw me appear, it exploded. Then I died. What was the situation you saw at that time?"
"Our side?" Hongyue threw a crystal ball and said to me: "It's recorded, you can watch it yourself."
I nodded and opened the memory crystal directly, and then the image projection began. To be honest, although I was in a state of explosion, I didn't know anything about the explosion, because I died as soon as the explosion was happening. Instead, I saw it much more clearly in the fulcrum city than mine.
The picture displayed in the memory crystal is first of all a calm sea surface, and then I don’t know why I suddenly saw the sea lit up, and then it was like sunrise, a huge fireball rose slowly from under the sea. Then as the fireball rose, it gradually turned into a huge "big mushroom".
"I'm x, is it really a nuclear weapon?"
"I don't know what it is. Anyway, it looks like a nuclear weapon, and it's so powerful. Our liquefied magic crystal steam bomb can be considered a big firecracker compared to this one."
I nodded in agreement when I heard Hongyue's words. In the memory crystal, the huge mushroom was still rising slowly, but a huge wave appeared on the sea below, which was gradually rising in slow motion and then expanded in all directions. In fact, I know that the speed of the wave is actually very fast. The reason why it looks slow is because the distance is too far. It is like we stand on the ground and look at the plane in the sky, and think that the plane is flying very slowly. In fact, if the speed of the plane is placed on the ground, any super sports car can only follow behind and eat exhaust gas. The speed of this wave is actually not produced and fast, but because the crystal ball seemed to be filmed at a high altitude at that time, the waves in the picture looked very slow.
I looked at the scene at that time and it took me only more than twenty seconds to reach the fulcrum city. However, the distance between the fulcrum and the fulcrum city should be 120 nautical miles. Twenty seconds and 120 nautical miles. Is this slow? Obviously not slow at all, but very fast.
In the picture, the waves directly flattened half of the fulcrum city from the rear, and then continued to advance forward, suddenly a blue barrier rose from the fulcrum. This barrier is translucent, looking like a layer of water film, very thin, and looks very fragile. However, it was such a thin layer of water film that actually intercepted the destructive waves. However, the water film only protected half of the city's limit of the fulcrum city, and the sea water on both sides continued to move forward and swept towards the open space outside the city.
Originally, at this rhythm, the waves should have rushed forward far, but at this time, the Yaki Orochi suddenly drilled out from under the ground, and then made a protective cover to intercept the waves. Moreover, the protective surface he expanded was much larger than the one made by Poseidon, which actually protected all the Japanese players in this large area. I said why did I see the mess in the fulcrum city after I got to the city wall, but the battlefield outside the city could not see any water. After a long time of trouble, the sea water was stopped by Poseidon and Yaki Orochi.
After recording this, the picture in the crystal suddenly began to shake violently, but the picture was bumpy twice and interrupted. Hongyue took back the crystal ball and said, "The scout in charge of the recording encountered the shock wave generated by the explosion at a high altitude. His mount was killed, but he had a backup mount, so the picture was brought back."
"Can the shock wave kill his mount so far?"
"How powerful do you think it can launch an explosion of more than 170 meters high? "
I nodded to express my understanding, then pointed to the outside of the city and asked, "What's going on?"
"Are you talking about those demons or those players?"
“I’m talking about it all.”
Hongyue pointed to the people outside and explained to me. "Those demons are the demons that Yakio Snake brought before. As for the ones who were mingled with the demons, they were the players brought by Matsumoto Masaki and the others. The group of people gathered on the other side were another group of Japanese players."
"But why do they gather here and don't leave?"
Hongyue explained: "Although the Hachiki Orochi was pulled away by Matsumoto Masaki and others, they didn't go far. They were actually behind the mountain there. Before, Sakura Yu Shenkai secretly reported it. Although the Hachiki Orochi gave up the attack plan, he didn't seem to be very willing, so he is still looking for excuses to watch. Although the demons were brought by the Hachiki Orochi, the Hachiki Orochi made many wishes for them before. These demons didn't want to go for a waste, so they wanted to continue attacking, but because the Hachiki Orochi stopped participating, they were a little confused. Now the presidents and other leaders brought by Matsumoto Masaki were persuading these demons to leave, so the two sides gathered together, and because they knew that the previous tsunami destroyed our city weapon system, they were not worried that we could fire and just stood there and started chatting."
"I x, these bastards are really arrogant. What's going on with those players in the distance?"
"There are some of the people in that group of people, and the rest are militaristic fanatics. They want to launch an attack on the fulcrum city, but they themselves do not have the ability to attack independently, so they just wait and see. If the demons don't negotiate to launch an attack, they will follow them. If the demons give up, they should give up too."
"The Yaqi Snake is also waiting for the demons' decision, right?"
Hongyue shook her head and said, "The Yagi Osawa has made it clear that he will not attack on the initiative, but he used the excuse that the demons were invited to help. When they see that they are faced, they cannot leave them here and ignore them. So he and Matsumoto Masaga said that if the demons start attacking, he will watch from the side. If the demons are injured or in danger, he will rescue them, but he will not participate in the siege. But even so, his big target is jumping around on the battlefield. What's the difference between attacking or not?"
"Of course, this kind of thing needs as much as you want. But it doesn't seem to be very beneficial to us now!"
Hongyue looked back at the devastated fulcrum city, then nodded and said, "I also want to send someone to rescue the city, but the enemy here has not left, so we don't dare to go down the city wall!"
I thought for a moment and said, "Players and ordinary troops remain unmoved, let those chaos and order gods go."
Hongyue nodded and said, "This is OK."
After all, the Gods of Chaos and Order are all gods. They have very powerful powers and varied abilities. Their role in the rescue operation is very huge. Moreover, the Gods of Chaos and Order themselves are not army, they are fighting in single units, so there is no problem of formation. Even if they participate in the rescue, they can rush back to fight as soon as possible after the battle occurs, and it will basically not affect their combat effectiveness. Players and ordinary troops will definitely not be able to do this.
I told Vina about my thoughts. Of course, Vina supported me unconditionally, so the chaos and order on the city wall immediately evacuated the city wall and ran to the city to help. However, when they left, I called Poseidon.
"Thank you for the previous explosion."
Poseidon said modestly: "Since I am already a member of the God of Chaos and Order, then this is our own family matter. If you are polite to me because of this, you will treat me as an outsider!"
"Of course I don't mean that."
Poseidon smiled and said, "I know, so you don't have to thank me anymore. President, don't worry, since I have joined the Chaos and Order Gods, I will regard this place as my own Gods and will not act like the previous airs."
I have to say that Poseidon's IQ is really high. She actually knows what I'm worried about.
In fact, what I worry most about among the gods divided among the Olympus tribe is Poseidon, not because of how strong she is, but because of her status.
On the surface, Hades and Poseidon are at the same level as the Olympus tribe. The strengths of the two are not much different, and Hades is even stronger than Poseidon. However, everyone knows what situation Hades was in the original Olympus tribe. Zeus has always been worried about the growth of the Underworld God system, so he has been suppressing and weakening Hades' strength. At that time, Hades was not so poached by me, but rather Hades was looking for a way out, but he happened to meet us.
Because Hades was actually forced to go to the forefront, he had no psychological problems with joining us. Moreover, after becoming a member of the God of Chaos and Order, Hades did get many real benefits, so Hades adapted to the transformation of his identity very quickly.
However, Poseidon is different from Hades. Although he was oppressed by Zeus, the difference between him and Hades is that Zeus is just suppressing Poseidon and has not really weakened him. Although he imprisoned his original body, in fact, Poseidon's hatred for Zeus is far less strong than Hades.
Because the idea of rebelling from the Olympus tribe is not so strong, it was a bit more troublesome when I persuaded Poseidon to transfer. Now that she has transferred to us, I have been worried that she will not be able to adapt to this kind of identity change.
Although our guild finally defeated the Olympus tribe, in the final analysis, we are not at the same level as the Olympus tribe. The Chaos and Order tribe should be regarded as a small god that is developing rapidly, while the Olympus tribe is a super-large god that has declined from prosperity. Although the two have a huge gap in vitality, the gap in strength is actually very large.
For Poseidon, she ran from the Olympus tribe to the chaos and order tribe, which was like a person jumping from a Fortune 500 international company to an unfamous small company. Perhaps the development potential of this small company is unparalleled, but it is still very weak after all, and not everyone can adapt to this psychological change immediately. If you get stuck, something will happen.
After saying a few simple words to Poseidon, I found that Poseidon seemed to have changed her emotions very well. She did not have any contempt for the current chaos and order gods, but really regarded herself as a part of it. I felt very pleased to know this answer, and finally my previous efforts were not in vain.
To be continued...
