Chapter 20 Ground Fissure
Chapter 20: Earth Break
Matsumoto Masaga was too relieved that our guild was doing, and now it caused them trouble. Although the people in our guild were busy sorting out the remaining teams, this did not mean that we had completely lost our attack ability. At the critical moment when Russian players dismantled the shells, they found a group of dense mosquitoes flying in. Mosquitoes are not surprising. The key is that such a large number of mosquitoes flew to a place in an orderly manner.
At this time, on the deck of Aisinger on the other side of the valley, the powerful reconnaissance capabilities of the Giant Mosquito Outpost were concentrated on covering the gathering of the RB players. If Matsumoto and the others were not concentrated around the shells, we might not have paid attention to this place, but the problem is that so many RB leaders are all gathered in the same place, so we have to ask for our ideas. We noticed that something happened when we were paying attention. The reconnaissance mosquito sent by the Giant Mosquito Outpost actually found a giant cannon shell that had not been detonated fell on the walls of Hiroshima City, and a large number of senior RB personnel gathered nearby, and it was obvious that they were dismantling bombs.
Woma quickly judged that this was a dud that was not exploded. Although we didn't know why it fell in this position, we all knew that it was really sorry for ourselves if we didn't use this thing properly. After learning that the reconnaissance mosquitoes sent by the giant mosquito outpost could self-destruct, we quickly formulated a plan to detonate the shells. Using reconnaissance mosquitoes as self-destruction mosquitoes is a bit like burning a zither, but for us, we are now travelers who are about to starve to death. If there is a zither that can be used to boil a zither, why not be so elegant and noble?
The self-destruction ability of reconnaissance mosquitoes was originally used to destroy evidence, so it was not very powerful and had no lethality. It was obviously not enough to detonate such a large shell with a few mosquitoes. Therefore, we finally decided to win by number, so there was the scene of mosquitoes being dispatched in clusters that RB players saw.
Large groups of self-destructive mosquitoes buzzed like bombers, passing through the open warhead and flew into the shells. Then these guys began to look for various possible detonation devices. Womao led a large number of German technicians to directly guide mosquitoes to land in places where they needed to explode through video signals in the giant mosquito outpost. Russian players knew it was not good to see so many mosquitoes entering. But they were afraid of detonating the shells and dared not move too much, so they could only slowly climb into the shells. Nothing here could touch randomly. If they were accidentally caught, they would cause an explosion, but they had to go in.
The leading Russian young man fainted on the spot when he saw the dense mosquitoes inside the warhead because the mosquitoes were the most untouchable places. Matsumoto Masaga originally planned to enter, but when he saw so many mosquitoes, he followed him in, but as soon as he came in, he was stunned. The large detonating equipment inside the warhead was densely filled with large mosquitoes. And the moment he entered, all the mosquitoes' eyes lit up like light bulbs, and countless pairs of red eyes were flashing densely. Everyone knew that the last moment was coming.
Puff... Boom... Boom... Boom... The self-destructing mosquitoes exploded. A spark flashed on the detonator of the shell. Then a wire was blown off. When the wire streaked across the ground, a blue electric flower appeared. Then the entire shell flew out like a missile. Then a blast sounded and the entire shell turned into countless shrapnel and flew out. It instantly swept across Hiroshima. The shock wave was like a big broom sticking to the ground. All buildings were scattered like shreds of paper. The surrounding land was scattered. The giant cannon in the city center was backed by the shock wave.
After a distance, it knocked down the hanger with the shells. The hanger fell down and smashed it to the shells piled up next to it. Then there was a sound of exploding. A huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the center of Hiroshima. We all felt a shocking shock through a mountain. The reorganized RB army around Hiroshima was the first to be swept by the shock wave, and a large number of people rushed into the air by the shock wave. Heavy infantry was better, but they barely left the ground, and the light infantry and mages were in trouble. They were all driven by the strong wind and were blown away by dozens of meters away.
The earth's vibration was too violent. The crust of the RB area was broken. With a loud bang, several nearby mountains collapsed at the same time. Lava erupted from more than a dozen places like a high-pressure fountain. The most powerful pillar actually soared up to more than 2,000 meters before it began to fall back. The high-temperature lava was cooled out of the rock crust in the air, which in turn provided insulation measures for the lava inside. The huge lava bombs were scattered in a radius of dozens of kilometers. Our army and the remaining troops were both affected. These large stone balls were only the size of fists. The ground weighed more than three tons, and no matter how big it was, they were splashing damage. As soon as they landed, they immediately exploded and sprayed the magma inside, and burned the ground and burned black.
We originally wanted to use this explosion to destroy Hiroshima's outer defense. The highest hope was to destroy the cannons by the way to leave us preparation time, but we didn't expect the actual effect to be so exaggerated. The chain reaction caused by the butterfly effect, several self-destructive mosquitoes actually triggered crust activity. The extremely fragile area of the rb lava layer decided not to have such a large-scale explosion. Otherwise, this is the current situation.
The destruction radius of the lava rock bomb gradually expanded. We didn't expect that the harm would be so large that we all suffered. Some relatively large pieces of lava actually flew to Aisinger. The personnel who were receiving comma aircraft on the deck were so scared that they had to pay attention to the sky to avoid lava rock bombs that might fall from the sky at any time. Fortunately, our comma aircraft did not land on gliding, and these aircraft that could not control the flight trajectory would not glid at all, so their landing method was to directly hit the blocking network, and after being caught, they were recycled by ground crews. Now this advantage has brought us a lot of benefits. At least the uneven flight deck caused by lava will not affect us.
Aisinger's deck is now in chaos, with the vibration of the ground increasing, and the ground may collapse at any time. Rose stood on the deck and shouted at the technician: "Get back, Aisinger retreat at full speed."
Hongyue shouted: "Take off, take off while you are backing, we can't stand on the ground."
Almost as soon as Aisinger started moving, the mountains ahead actually cracked again, and the entire mountain slowly sank into the ground less than two kilometers in front of us. All the players who saw this scene were frightened. The Heaven-Cross has always been used to describe extreme situations, but now we are fortunate to experience a live version of the Earth-Crossssssss.
After the huge mountain range sank, huge pits of soil appeared on the ground. Then lava appeared at the bottom of the pit, and red stone slurry seeped up from the ground veins and quickly filled the entire pit. A mountain turned into a lava lake in less than ten minutes.
"Damn it, retreat quickly!" I didn't care about my image now, and was anxious to jump and curse. "Hey, go and take our army back. Let the land there be quicker. Clean the front deck and let the Giant Butterfly City land forcibly, we want to save people... Yes, don't worry about the puppet, that thing can automatically transmit energy crystals, and the shell is not worth it. Grab people for me, hurry up."
Aisinger's huge take-off deck was in chaos, and a large number of flight units were rushing back and forth to transport personnel. Our army was forced to the mountain there by lava just now, but now it was sinking. How can we watch it? The entire crust near Hiroshima collapsed, as if the ancient continental section was rising, the rock layer was sliding under the lava layer, and the Pacific section rushed to the shore. The sea water was no longer visible to the seaside. It was not that the ocean was retreating but that it was preparing for a greater disaster. Based on my knowledge, it can be judged.
Break. Once the sea water blown away by the shock wave is smashed back, it will be a larger tsunami. The sea water that rushes to the shore will flow to the lowest place, which will inevitably come into contact with the lava. Once the surface of the lava cools, the pressure below will cause it to explode, which will be fatal. Moreover, the sea water cracked at high temperatures will react with the chemicals in the lava to form a sea of sulfuric acid and a large number of toxic gases. This place will soon become a hell on earth. We have never thought that the crustal structure of RB is too realistic. This result is the result. Even the natural environment must be taken into account the factors of war.
Aisinger was jumping on the ground and retreating southwest. Now, no matter whether the movement mechanism can bear it, the parts that can work are all working, and burning a few engines is better than falling into magma. Aisinger is not a submarine, and the submarine cannot sneak in the lava!
Giant Butterfly City cooperated with other war fortresses to land on the mountain. A large number of players risked their lives to command the NPC troops to quickly enter the cabin. The ground in some places had completely burst. Many people were swallowed by volcanoes. Shura Ziyi, who was rescued, suddenly found that a small highland and the main land were divided by lava not far away, and more than 3,000 people were trapped in that playground-like area.
"Over there, find a way to save people." Shura Ziyi pointed at the other side and shouted.
The operator in the Spider Fortress said, "Let's go."
The Spider Fortress rushed over quickly, but the ground in front suddenly collapsed halfway after running, and more lava was sent out from the ground by pressure to turn the originally safe large area of land into small islands in the lava sea. The Spider Fortress suddenly jumped with constant speed, and with a bang, it landed accurately on the nearest lava island, and then jumped again on the next island. After three or two jumps, since there was no suitable land as a springboard in front, a fragment of the city wall in Hiroshima area actually floated at this time.
Come here. The lava is very heavy. The rocks can float. The Spider Fortress seized the opportunity and jumped one by one on the city wall and then jumped again. It accurately landed on the island with more than 3,000 people remaining. After quickly stuffing all the people into the cabin, the Spider Fortress quickly turned around and jumped. A spider silk shot out and hit a piece of land, causing the Spider Fortress to jump out much further than before. Just behind the Spider Fortress, the small land that had just stood more than 3,000 people had disappeared in the lava. If you step later, there would be nothing.
After the Spider Fortress successfully returned, he put down his personnel and returned to rescue others. Now the hillside has become small land areas, and large fortresses cannot stop. Only the ability of spider fortresses to jump and jump can shuttle back and forth on it. It is obviously too late for the whole transfer. All we can do is try to help transport. My space gate could also save many people, but the problem is that as the fixed position of the land sinking space gate became suspended in mid-air, the personnel could not enter at all. I no longer have the opportunity to open the space gate today, and I can't adjust it.
The receipts of our guild dragons and the remaining Snow Eagle troops were all working hard to rescue personnel, but the lava balls that flew from time to time in the sky were also very deadly. In order to save people, we had more than 300 snow eagles and seven dragons, which were smashed into the lava river by lava rock bombs and turned into steam. We were powerless to do anything about this!
The power of the earth is something we cannot violate. The mountains full of people finally sank. We only snatched more than 800,000 troops, and most of the remaining land was swallowed by lava and disappeared under the red liquid. The battlefield was solemn. Although we knew it was a game, it still made people want to cry.
In terms of losses alone, the RB army is much more miserable than us. Although the army we rescued was only 800,000, one-third of the main forces of our guild were air cavalry, so the actual losses were far less serious than the RB. The army we rescued was about one-third of the total army's strength, and the air force and players were all safe and sound, so our combat effectiveness was still preserved. However, in addition to some players, the RB army was almost scrubbed, and even lost a city.
Although this victory that is not a victory has helped us a lot, such heavy losses make each of us look bad. These NPC troops are the main force of combat. Every time we think of such heavy losses, we would rather use players to exchange these NPCs. At least it is only a matter of time before players practice level one more. The re-purchase of these NPCs is as high as hundreds of millions of crystal coins. How can I not feel sorry for me?
I feel sad, but the situation in front of me still has to be dealt with. The collapse of the ground is still continuing. The two valleys we fought fiercely just now were originally sandwiched between two mountains, but now the mountains are gone. The cracks on the ground are gradually chasing towards Aisinger. From time to time, the rocks are raised by hundreds of square meters, and then lava seeps out from under the ground to wrap the rocks.
Although the withdrawal had already ended early because the two mountains were sunk and all the remaining people were killed, Aisinger was not a sports car after all, and it was too big. It was really not fast. The ground breaking speed was faster than the speed of lava flowing, and it was about to burn.
Hongyue reminded everyone to take off quickly. They were so busy that they were so dizzy that the technicians remembered that we could fly! In a panic, Aisinger ran away at full speed while taking off. Everyone's expressions were obviously much better as they watched the city slowly leave the ground. But just as the city had just left the height of a few meters above the ground, suddenly a shocking loud noise inside Aisinger, and the huge vibration instantly threw us all into the sky. The city shook violently, and a ball of flames spurted out from a bullet hole in front of the city. Then the whole city began to slide down from a certain angle. Just a few seconds later, there was another loud noise. We all felt the vibration of the city hitting the ground, and Aisinger obviously re-landed.
"What happened?" Hongyue asked angrily.
A technician ran over and said, "No...no."
"What's the matter?"
"The shell. That dud that did not explode just now exploded."
"What? Isn't that thing dumb? Why did it explode again?" I almost jumped up from the ground.
The technician explained: "We had already fixed the thing as Woma's instructions, but just now we ran away and the earthquake swayed too hard. The support frames were all scattered. When the shells took off, they rolled because the city took off too quickly and did not maintain a level, and they hit the wall and caused an explosion. The vibration destroyed the power pipeline of the gravity resistance device, and some of the gravity resistance devices were shut down. The remaining anti-gravity equipment in the city is no longer enough to maintain flight."
"How about the crawler propulsion equipment?" Hongyue asked.
"The track equipment has also suffered some damage. It crashed into some track guide wheel mechanisms when it fell just now. However, the remaining tracks can still ensure normal movement, but the speed will be slower."
"Stop worrying, run first, even if all mobile devices are scrapped, it will be better than being swallowed by lava now."
"Yes." The technician immediately turned around and ran to direct the repair and evacuation work.
"It's really raining all night." Rose looked at the lava area behind. "The cracks are already spreading to us. It seems that at Aisinger's current speed, he can't escape the lava area. We must think of a way!"
Su Mei said: "It was okay. The key issue was that it must have hit the ground when it fell just now. The ground, which was already very fragile, must have collapsed faster if it was knocked open."
General Wu suddenly said, "Is there any magical arrow missile?"
"There are three more shots." Woma answered quickly.
General Wu pointed to the edge of a mountain range on the side of us: "Everything is launched and blowing to the foot of that mountain."
"Ah?" Woma looked down the foot of the mountain and didn't know what it meant.
I immediately understood what the general meant. "Woma, let's do it. If it's not enough, it's OK to use a lightning cannon or something to attack together."
"Yeah, OK, I understand." Womao was a little confused but still did.
Aisinger, who was moving slowly with thick smoke, suddenly fired the last three magic arrows. At the same time, a blue and white electric ball flew out. With a loud bang, a large pit was blasted out of the place where General Wu pointed, and then the situation was wrong. A magma suddenly spurted out from the pit, and the red lava soared up nearly a thousand meters before it began to fall. Aisinger was attacked by a lava rock bomb again. A large number of lava rock bombs fell from the sky, which smashed us and hid in the hangar with our heads in our arms. The remaining staff on the deck did not dare to be exposed directly, all in groups of five. Two of them supported the magic shield, and the remaining three were the staff.
Although Aisinger was attacked by lava, this lava rock bomb did not cause direct damage to Aisinger, and it was not actually dangerous. The attack commanded by General Wu only fired a lava fountain, which made everyone a little confused, but soon everyone understood.
The cracks quickly began to appear in the place where the lava was blasted out. After the ground collapsed, the mountain began to tilt, and the huge mountain began to overturn like a big ship about to sink. In fact, the general's idea was to swell the lava. The ground burst was because the pressure was too high. The fragile surface could not withstand these pressures, so all cracked and let the lava flow out below. The place where the general ordered the attack was the foot of the mountain, and the thickness of the strata was the same as that of the plain, but the pressure was greater than that of the flat ground. Breaking the gap there would cause the lava under the ground to erupt from here. However, the pressure below the lava would disappear as soon as the lava came out, and the mountain would naturally tilt in this direction. So the mountain overturned. The overturn of a mountain brought about a larger volcanic eruption, and the lava erupted more violently than before, but the direction was not ours.
Seeing the lava chased at Aisinger and stopped again, we finally escaped from danger. We all breathed a sigh of relief and limped.
In the desolate wilderness of RB, Aisinger was still moving slowly, and everyone was in a bad mood. I was still sad for the NPC army, while the RB people were sad for the failure of the entire battle. The area where Aisinger was originally a relatively prosperous area for RB, but it was extremely desolate at this time. The entire RB power was gathered near Hiroshima. The natural disasters just now had almost done everyone, and there were not many RB people to move here. Even if someone was alive, the current situation would not allow them to attack such a large target. Aisinger could not be shaken by a team of three or five thousand people, especially when the RB was insufficient.
Actually, Esinger was also very miserable. He was hit by several shells on the way to come, and it was still smoking. The dud bomb suddenly exploded and the second deck to the third deck were burned. The fire has not been extinguished yet. He just received the withdrawn army, and there were wounded everywhere, and many places were attacked by lava bombs. There were smoked solid rocks everywhere. It was simply a mess. Esinger's appearance is actually very broken. This scarred city drags tens of millions of tons of body
The key is to crawl slowly on the ground, and sometimes make some strange squeaking sounds. In fact, it is the sound of mechanical gears being overwhelmed. The main reason is that several tracked thrusters have been damaged. Now the propulsion force has dropped and the speed has to be maintained. As a result, the only remaining power equipment has to be overloaded. Moreover, because the gravity resistance device was damaged when the dud suddenly exploded, our Aisinger could no longer fly. Now he can only climb on the ground like a tank, and there are still a few black smoke behind him.
The city is now busy, and everyone is extinguishing fires and saving people. After a simple emergency treatment meeting, even I have to join the labor force.
Rose and I went to the area where the most bombs were shot in the city. There were two shells exploded here, and now the interior was charred. The war was a little chaotic just now, and I didn't have time to come to see this area. Now I saw how serious the situation was. I went to see the area where the dud hit, but the shells were not exploded at that time. This was another matter. The cabin built close to the wall no longer exists. The armored wall was rolling like blooming flowers, with a strange posture. The sky blue rock layer had been blown into stone powder, and the ground was completely occupied by these large and small pieces of gravel. The fragmented metal fragments were everywhere, and some exposed wires and energy pipes flashed from time to time. The debris of the original thing hung on the smoked dark walls.
I held the wall and climbed to the edge of the armor layer and looked out. The armor layer that Isinger was proud of had a skylight open. The hole in the diameter of more than 40 meters can clearly see the environment outside, and you can even smell a scent of smoke from your nose. The wind outside the city with the salty smell of sea water and the sulphur of volcanoes poured in from this cave, and it was very unpleasant to mix with the smoke from the city.
"Can this be friendly?" Rose asked Woma behind me.
"The outermost rock layer is a divine stone. It can grow automatically, so it only takes time. We have the armor plate ourselves, just cut off the deformed part of the current gap and weld the new steel plate. We are repairing the construction pipelines, so we can complete it soon."
I turned around and asked, "How is the power layer?"
"This is hard to say, we'll know if we go and take a look."
"Okay, go and have a look."
When we arrived at the power layer, we knew that the situation here was not very optimistic. Several of the support frames of the supporting track thrusters were bent and were outrageously deformed. The originally neat power pipes have fallen down now, and some lines are directly exposed outside, giving people a feeling that they may break at any time.
I didn't feel it at the upper floor of Aisinger, but when I got here, I realized that the noise of the equipment was really huge. We had to shout loudly into other people's ears to hear what we said. Almost all the staff here communicated with gestures. Woma told us that the sound here was not so loud, mainly because of the noise caused by gear deformation, and as long as we go back and overhaul, there will be no problem.
We have also seen the gravity resistance device. However, the damage is really great. Most of the gravity resistance devices inserted in the tracked ply are deformed and distorted due to huge pressure, and some have overloaded and exploded. What's worse, the power pipes have been destroyed a lot due to the energy return, and the pipes in some places have exploded from the inside. If you want to repair them, you can only replace them with new ones.
I shouted at Woma: "How long will it take for these devices to be repaired?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Woma asked loudly.
I shouted again into Woma's ear: "I ask... how long will these devices be... fixed...?"
"Oh." Woma nodded and looked around before shouting loudly: "Parts. We want parts. There is no part, and we can't fix these."
"What parts?...I can't hear clearly!"
Rose also shouted loudly: "Let's talk about it in another place? It's too noisy here!"
"All right!"
I really couldn't stand the noise below. When we returned to the upper power chamber, we found that our voice was a little hoarse. Woma said again: "I just said I wanted parts below."
"Oh, I heard it, please don't be so loud, it's not that noisy anymore." In fact, here is just one layer above the tracking power layer, with only one floor between the two layers, but the noise here is much better than that, and it is at most like a factory. Although it's a little noisy, at least you can hear the sound of talking.
Rose said: "The parts are easy to deal with. Are there many of them in the Gangcheng? You should be able to catch up when you teleport, right?"
Woma nodded: "It should be possible to teleport over, but the cost is a little higher."
"First, it's not when I'm considering money." Although I usually act stingy, it's because of frugality, not that I don't understand the importance of capital flow. "Woma, go and do it. The teleportation fee is still a small matter. The key is to let Aisinger fly as soon as possible. Hiroshima's giant cannon no longer exists. We must leave Honshu Island as soon as possible and return to Kyushu Island. Here the RB people can organize troops to attack us at any time. It's different when they arrive in Kyushu. The RB people no longer have maritime power. We are in Kyushu, which means we won't be threatened with heavy firepower."
Rose continued: "So we must let Aisinger recover his flying ability as soon as possible, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the strait."
"Okay. I have a good idea of this." Woma nodded and agreed.
After explaining the repair problem, I was forced to join the labor. I collected the metal fragments in the ruins with everyone. Some of the unusable ones were thrown out of the city, and those with recycling value were stored in a concentrated manner. Hundreds of flame magicians were also cutting the holes made by shells while we were cleaning up. We had to make the holes a little neatly before we could nest the new armor back.
Chapter completed!
