Concrete buildings of varying heights are a characteristic of the Platinum City. Due to the need to shrink the defense line and reduce the urban area, all residents can only live in high-rise buildings with dozens of floors or even more than a hundred floors.
The company's alloy technology is 20 to 30 years ahead of this era. Because of this, Platinum City has the strongest wall. Before today, all residents of Platinum City were proud of it.
On the empty street, there were many pools of blood, but there were no bodies, only a lot of drag marks.
Inside a half-collapsed and dilapidated building, the furnishings were extremely old, black in color, pitted, and severely eroded.
Several survivors are hiding here. Everything happened too fast. This morning's morning news also showed the big-bellied company executives making impassioned declarations on the screen. They said that the disaster was over and they could settle in Platinum Land.
All citizens of the empire are the lucky ones in the new era. They must forget the past pain and look forward to the future.
The fragrant coffee in the morning, the beautiful morning news anchor on the screen, and the aroma of baking bread, everything seems to still exist between the sense of smell and taste, but with a series of roars, and countless
After the scream, all the luck and beautiful hopes were washed away like toilet paper thrown into the toilet.
The entrance to the building was blocked by various types of decayed furniture. On the wall beside it, there were terrifyingly large claw marks, which became the only source of light here. The gloomy weather outside made the light coming through somewhat dim.
A total of eight people are hiding here, three students, a newlywed couple, a middle-aged company employee, and a company security guard.
The last person is a beautiful woman with a perfect figure and silver earrings. Different from the others, she is sitting on the overturned wardrobe with a calm expression. She is holding a can of oranges in her hand and is studying how to open it. Although for her
Speaking of which, the can was more fragile than paper, but she was not prepared to open it violently.
Yes, this is the alien among the Zerg mother queens, Isaiah, who pursues individual strength. Recently, she is in a normal mood and a bit melancholy, so she has been a female in the past few days. If she wants to find someone to fight, she will transform into a male.
Isaiah did find someone to fight a few times before, such as against the Hand of the Empire, Rhine Gold, and then against the Saint of the Sun, Varg. After that, he met a girl with a big hat.
His ability is very miraculous, and he can summon endless undead creatures.
In addition, Isaiah is also planning to have a fight with Su Xiao. Her plan is to go to the Platinum City to repair first, and then go to the Sun Hallownest. However, before she can go to the Sun Hallownest, the Platinum City
He was attacked by the Netherworld forces.
After witnessing the massive attack by the Netherworld forces, Isaiah was very confused as to why the world consciousness of this world would choose her as the savior. First of all, she is not strong. She has already met several people who are similar to her.
This actually shocked Isaiah a little. Originally, Isaiah thought that since she had practiced privately for so long, she should be the strongest one. In order to save time, in the past, when the Zerg under her command went to war, all the Zerg under her command were her subordinates.
The Zerg Queen" takes command on your behalf.
This has also led to Isiah being almost isolated from the world, but this is what she hopes for. The wonderful feeling of gradually becoming stronger is much more interesting than commanding the Zerg.
A few days ago, the "Zerg Queen" under Isaiah died of old age. The look in his eyes full of worry and reluctance before he died made Isaiah understand the two emotions of love and loss. Unfortunately, death is too painful.
Too powerful, Isaiah was unable to reverse her death, and could only watch the "Zerg Queen" who replaced her as the mother queen gradually lose her voice.
After the death of the "Zerg Queen", Isaiah's original subordinates were confused. Until they discovered that their mother queen could not recognize them, they realized the seriousness of the matter and all went to the Crimson Queen.
Isaiah agreed with this. She did not know how to manage the insect nest, and over the years, those boss-level insect tribes had sacrificed a lot. Leaving the nest now was not a betrayal.
Isaiah raised her hand and touched her silver earrings. The disappointment in her heart faded a little. Compared with her own strength, she was more confused about another thing, which was the world consciousness of this world. Why should she be chosen as the savior?
people.
Before the Netherworld invaded, Isaiah's idea was that when the Netherworld attacked, she would stand alone in the front. However, after witnessing the Corruptors forming a black pillar several kilometers thick, pouring down from the sky onto the Platinum Capital.
When she got off the bus, Isaiah rushed into the building. Her thought at the time was: 'World, you've tricked me.'
Isaiah clearly understood that under the tactics of a sea of people of that size, if she tried to block it, it would be like fireworks, which would bloom for a short period of time, then extinguish in the sea of people, and eventually disappear completely.
Therefore, Isaiah is very confused about the so-called world consciousness. What is the use of choosing her?
"I can't figure it out."
Isaiah is sitting on the wardrobe with his legs crossed and tossing the can in his hand. This image gives people a strong sense of contrast.
Isaiah looked around. There were three students who were taking refuge together, two boys and one girl. They were all seventeen or eighteen years old. She still stayed here mainly because one of the teenagers gave her a sense of familiarity.
, the feeling of the same origin is too strong, the other party is also the savior of the world, no, the other party's fluctuations in this aspect are stronger than hers, the other party is more like a descendant of this world.
The remaining four people were a middle-aged company employee, a company guard, and finally a young couple.
The guard holding the rifle in his arms was sitting against the wall, his expression dull and his hands shaking uncontrollably.
"We should escape."
A short-haired boy among the three students spoke. He was the target of Isaiah's attention just now, and he was also the son of this world. His name was Leslie.
As soon as Leslie said this, his two classmates and the young couple nearby all looked frightened and looked at Leslie with a look that looked crazy.
"It's only a matter of time before we are found. According to my observations, after those monsters fall, a kind of green mist also appears. As long as you inhale that mist, you will become the same kind as those monsters. I recommend that we take the initiative to inhale that mist."
Plant green mist.”
Leslie made a calm analysis and smiled at the end, which made his two classmates subconsciously stay away from him, as did the young couples nearby.
"That is the cold mist from the netherworld. After inhaling it, it will be assimilated and become a corruptor. Boy, are you crazy?"
The company employee, whose white shirt was stained with blood and whose tie was loose, spoke.
"I know it will turn into a monster. According to my observation, there is a hierarchy within those monsters. Just like animals, the elite individuals among them have high status, then there are those with complete bodies, those with incomplete bodies, and finally those with particularly disabled bodies.
of.
When we living people are discovered by those monsters, we will first be chewed up, and then become the lowest status monsters. Since we are always going to become monsters, why not become more complete monsters? Maybe we can also get priority.
|Mating rights? If they have mating behavior."
Leslie's words stunned everyone present. Among them, the company guard raised his rifle and pointed it at Leslie's head, suspecting that the young man's mind had been assimilated by the underworld.
Seeing the black muzzle of the gun, Leslie raised his hands and surrendered. He was so natural, fresh and refined, not like some of the sons of the world, who just want to cause trouble and will not die. If he were to be ranked among the best in this century
If you are a coward for the world, this guy will definitely be on the list.
"Hahahaha, priority for mating, hahaha..."
The company employee was amused. He pulled the terminal from his waist and threw it towards Leslie. The terminal fell to the ground with a clatter.
"There is a structural diagram of the Platinum City here. There are two ways to get out of the city. One is to take the underground drainage system, and the other is to go to the central area, which is Area 0. Under the command post there, there are two space transmission devices.
Connecting Nova City and Hallownest."
After saying this, the company employee pulled out the pistol from his waist and put the muzzle of the gun against his chin, making a gesture of firing.
"Brother, wait."
Leslie spoke quickly, and the company employee turned his head to look at him, as if he was about to fart.
"Brother, how do you know this? These two space transmission devices for big shots should be classified."
Leslie sat on the floor three meters away from the company employee. He also took out the cigarettes he had just found and threw them to the company employee.
Seeing the cigarettes, the company employee lowered his muzzle, lit one for himself, and prepared to smoke a cigarette before taking his own life.
"It's just a space teleportation device. What kind of secret is that? Those big shots are afraid of death, not just for a day or two. The air defense system of Platinum City was designed by me and my team."
"ah?"
Leslie was a little dumbfounded. He said with a sad expression: "Brother, you should kill yourself as soon as possible. The air defense system you designed doesn't work."
"Fart! We designed a seven-level air defense. In order to save costs, the weapons department and the joint inspection department replaced the four-level air defense standard with a seven-level air defense."
"Why?"
The man in the young couple almost yelled and shouted.
"Why? In order to plug the financial hole they made when they built the Platinum City. If they don't plug this hole, there will be no need for the Netherworld to invade. Aitai Qifok will kill them first. What's more interesting is,
After the Weapons Department and the Inspection Department smuggled the money, the money originally agreed to be used to repair the holes was divided up layer by layer."
Hearing what the company staff said, everyone else was at a loss. They really couldn't understand that at such a critical moment, they would still embezzle funds for garrison. Isn't this a suicide attempt? In fact, they don't know that greed has no boundaries.
Besides, the empire's Nova City is a retreat.
Before everyone had recovered, the company employee had put the gun to his chin again. Although he looked ordinary, he was by no means a small role. However, the more he knew now, the more desperate he would feel.
Bang!
Brains splattered and skulls flew up in spirals. This bloody scene made the others turn pale in fright.
Bang!
There was another gunshot, and it was the company guard who committed suicide. Compared to others, he knew better what the gunshot would cause.
Da, da~
Isaiah tapped the orange can in her hand with her fingertips. Still not sure how to open it, she looked at Leslie and said, "Young man, you have extraordinary qualifications."
A rustling sound came, followed by the sound of stampedes, and the sound of gunshots attracted the corrupted people around.
"We all rush out together and scatter in all directions. Whether we can survive depends on our luck."
Leslie began to take a deep breath, and to his surprise, there was no response to his words.
"Young man, who are you talking to?"
Isaiah easily tore open the metal seal of the can, looking like he was suddenly enlightened, and secretly praised the wisdom of mankind.
Hearing what Isaiah said, Leslie stiffened in front of him. He turned to look at his two classmates and found that their eyes were green and there were tiny cracks on their bodies.
"In areas eroded by the Netherworld, all the dead will join the Netherworld, even if they committed suicide. As for your friends, there are two other people. The four of them were assimilated by the way. It is a normal phenomenon."
Isaiah picked up an orange segment with the tips of her thumb and index finger. She raised her head and opened her mouth. After releasing her fingers, the orange segment fell into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste made Isaiah narrow her eyes.
She was leisurely, but Leslie in front did not dare to move. He could even hear the monster diagonally behind him breathing instinctively. Although this was meaningless, the rough breathing sound reminded people of strength.
A sense of power that does not match the body shape.
"Young man, do you want to save the world?"
"Dear Madam, at my age, I still long for..."
Leslie coughed dryly before he finished speaking, and quickly changed his words: "I am eager to save this world."
When he said this, Leslie's face was on fire. These words were too outrageous, especially to say such words to a perfectly beautiful lady.
"It sounds really stupid, but...it's better for you to survive."
Isaiah's index finger, which was still stained with orange juice, moved forward a little, and there was a snap! The corruptors that rushed towards Leslie were all exploded into golden-red pieces and rolled back.
Faced with coercion, Leslie's short hair was blown back, and he felt an instinctive fear approaching him. There was no beautiful lady in front of him, but an elegant predator at the top of the biological pyramid.
"What's your name?"
"Leslie, 18 years old, studying at..."
Before Leslie finished his introduction, he noticed that Isiah, who was sitting on the wardrobe opposite, was smiling, and slight tearing sensations appeared all over his body.
Leslie's expression became serious. He was sure of one thing. The lazy and informal lady in front of him was definitely not a kind person. She might have been killed on the spot if she was slightly unhappy.
"Leslie, do you want to be strong?"
"I really want this, but I don't have extraordinary qualifications, and my adaptability to implants is not high..."
"I understand, just say you are a waste."
"I'm sorry, I'm useless."
"I know someone who can help you master powerful power."
"who?"
"Lord of Sun Hallownest, Kukulin White Night."
"!"
Leslie took a big step back. Some time ago, the media and newspapers in the Platinum City reported a lot about this person. Of course, all of them were negative.
This is of course. During that time, Su Xiao hijacked the company's carrier spacecraft. The company's three ace employees were all slaughtered in 3 seconds like chickens and dogs. Of course, the media here in the Platinum City were all
He spared no effort to discredit Lidya Su.
"Ma'am, I'm actually not completely useless. I still have some talent in controlling combat armor. Why don't we go to Nova City?"
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
Isaiah got up and walked out. She was suddenly a little curious. It would be interesting to think about whether Su Xiao would be surprised when she saw the son of this world.
In fact, Isaiah thought too much, and Su Xiao was not surprised, because he had already killed several children of the world.
…
At noon, inside our base camp.
Five titan beasts were guarding the surroundings of the mother nest, and on the outside were patrolling demon beasts. On the distant city wall, there were also many demon beasts giving warnings, and a solar flame dragon was hovering in the sky.
In the wooden building, Su Xiao paused the screen on the terminal. The screen was frozen on the huge black hole above the Platinum City, which was fully opened, leaking out the black pillars composed of corruptors. It felt like the sky was leaking, a disaster.
The thing tilted down.
Su Xiao learned more about the Netherworld forces and the corrupted cannon fodder soldiers there.
Let's talk about netherworld energy first. This is "negative energy" amplified by the power of the abyss. What is "negative energy"? It has a wide range, such as cold, death, erosion, turbidity, etc., which can all be summarized into "negative energy".
Attribute energy", on the contrary, life, recovery, light, etc. can be summarized as "positive attribute energy".
There are two known characteristics of ghost energy, 1. Assimilating the dead, 2. Containing death.
The former is easy to understand, but it is also the most incomprehensible point of the Netherworld forces. As long as there is a war with them, all the dead will join the Netherworld. This also results in more and more cannon fodder for the Netherworld forces.
Containing death means that all the cannon fodder units of the Netherworld force have no weak points or vital points at all. They will either be blown to pieces or burned to ashes. Otherwise, even if there is only one arm left, it will be deformed.
Exit, wait, and then pounce on the enemy. He is so ferocious and tenacious.
The Platinum City was defeated by this. After the Corruptors who fell from the sky were blasted to pieces, no one took care of them. As a result, the Corruptors' limbs and organs were deformed into small humanoid Corruptors of various shapes, everywhere.
Bite civilians.
Once a civilian is killed, or if ghost energy invades his body, it only takes a few minutes for him to be assimilated.
For some reason, Platinum City's air defense system unexpectedly stretched its hips. This should be a problem with the middle management. The senior officials of Platinum City will not do anything in this regard. When they reach their status, they consider the overall situation more.
Money has little practical significance to them.
The air defense system was tightened, causing the Platinum City with the strongest city wall to be forcibly hidden by the Corruptors. After that, the 30 million people in the city became a new source of soldiers for the Netherworld forces.
It took 20 minutes to complete the journey, and the Platinum City fell. Not even a single pit appeared on the strongest city wall. From the beginning to the end, the city wall only had the opposite effect, blocking the escape route of the civilians. It was ironic.
During the first half of the battle, Su Xiao was watching the battle. He discovered one thing. The Netherworld forces should have a simple but complete power system. The apex was the Netherworld Emperor. Su Xiao didn't know the structure below.
He had seen an elite unit of the Netherworld camp before. The opponent had green eyes and was not weak in strength. The strange thing was that the opponent's death was not contained. In fact, the opponent still had vital points.
Su Xiao estimated that the Netherworld energy is a double-edged sword. If it is completely corroded, it will be corrupted, that is, cannon fodder. Those who can resist erosion and maintain their sanity and self are the elites who have initially mastered the Netherworld power.
unit.
Facing the Netherworld forces, Su Xiao only had the feeling that there were too many enemies. For the first time after developing the legion flow, he felt that he could not defeat the enemy because of their more human sea tactics.
Although the Corruptors are called miscellaneous soldiers, with the support of Netherworld energy, these miscellaneous soldiers are really not weak.
Next, it depends on whether the Netherworld forces attack Nova City or Sun Hall. This is a major weakness of our side. We can only defend and cannot take the initiative. The reason is that we don’t know where the Netherworld side’s lair is.
There is little point in attacking the occupied Platinum City.
Regarding where the Nether Force's home base is, Su Xiao has a strategy. First of all, he is basically sure that the priest has joined the Nether Force. In this case, he only needs to locate the priest's location to know where the Nether Force's home base is.
Regarding how to obtain the priest's location, the Devourer that Su Xiao gave to the priest before can achieve this. Locating the Devourer = locating the priest = finding the lair of the netherworld forces.
Over there is the third-generation Devourer Dark Sun. For positioning, you can use the power of the sun in the nest.
As soon as Su Xiao was about to start setting up, she received a mental message from Jila. The Spider Queen had retreated. The reason was that all the mines outside her side were attacked by the Netherworld forces. If the Spider Queen hadn't run fast, she would have been attacked.
Leave.
This situation shows that the Netherworld forces not only have incomprehensible people and tactics, but also have perfect and wise command policies.
At first glance, the forces of the underworld represent death, disaster, and chaos...
If you think about it carefully, you will find that every step taken by the Netherworld forces is very steady. Before invading this world, the Netherworld forces first infiltrated and contacted the cults or rebel organizations of various colonial stars to use their influence on the empire.
Hate, complete preparations.
Just when everyone thought that the Netherworld forces were only capable of conspiracy, the Netherworld army was like a torrent breaking a dike, pressing over openly, directly suppressing the empire and the company until they could not breathe, and escaped from their den like a bereaved dog.
After that, the Netherworld forces were not in a hurry to attack Pandora. First of all, they couldn't invade. They had to penetrate little by little. Secondly, the Netherworld forces began to develop local forces. Since your empire abandoned you, then join the Netherworld. There is no such thing here.
No pain, no disease, no need to worry about anything.
At this stage, the Nether Force's military strength is frighteningly large, and this is without the Nether Force's core legion being dispatched.
Half an hour later, the Spider Queen fled back to the base camp in a somewhat embarrassed state under the protection of her personal guards. She did not need to intervene in the subsequent war, she could just manage the mining of the source ore.
This also means that our daily bioenergy production has been reduced to 5.1 million points per day.
Not long after the Spider Queen returned, Su Xiao received an early warning from the sensing tower, and there was a biological reaction approaching quickly.
After a while, Su Xiao looked out of the window and saw a giant beast that looked like a rhinoceros, running quickly. On the back of the rhinoceros was a blond woman sitting, and a young man hanging beside it.
The facial contour of this woman looked slightly familiar to Su Xiao. She seemed to be Isaiah. The last time they met, she was still a male.
Su Xiao ordered the demonic beasts to let them go. After a while, Isaiah, carrying a young boy, walked into the wooden building. She first let go of the boy she was carrying, and then took out cans from her backpack.
Seeing that Isaiah wanted to eat canned oranges, Baha took out the pastries made by Xia Xia to treat him. At first, Isaiah did not want to eat them. She had a soft spot for canned oranges, but after tasting the pastries made by Kuaixia
, she was stunned, her sense of taste was a bit unable to understand what kind of magical flavor this was.
"This is?"
Su Xiao looked at the young man brought by Isaiah. The young man always kept a stiff smile and looked extremely nervous. As for other aspects, there should be nothing unusual.
"His name is Leslie. He is a person who is loved by the world. He is much more loved than me."
Isaiah's voice was a little slurred and his mouth was full of cakes.
Su Xiao was quite surprised. He carefully observed the young man named Leslie. After careful observation, he found a trace of the child of the world. The reason why he didn't feel it just now was because of the protection mechanism of the world.
This child of the world just appeared not long ago, or maybe even just today. Considering that Carla died not long ago, all this is easy to explain.
With the Netherworld forces invading today, Isaiah can only be regarded as a person favored by the world. In such a dangerous situation, it is not surprising that the real son of the world appears.
This Son of the World had just appeared not long ago, so his unique aura fluctuations in luck and destiny were not displayed, especially when meeting people like Su Xiao who had killed the Son of the World. Leslie belonged to the Son of the World.
The unique aura will naturally be contained by the power of the world and hidden to prevent it from being perceived by Su Xiao.
"The one who is loved by the world."
Su Xiao looked at Leslie. At this moment, Leslie's scalp exploded, and a cold air rushed straight to the soles of his feet. His performance at this time was like facing a huge blood monster that could swallow him up at any time.
Beast, this is no longer a mouse meeting a cat, but a gap in several dimensions.
"Bai Ye, can he make changes to the current situation?"
Isaiah spoke, and as she spoke, her aura shrouded Leslie to prevent him from having mental problems.
When Leslie was granted amnesty, he discovered that the elegant hunter he thought was dangerous before was actually the most peaceful one with the least malicious aura when he arrived here.
"able."
Su Xiao sat down and lit a cigarette.
"What should we do next? Make him stronger?"
Isaiah became interested.
"No need, he is in his strongest state now."
Su Xiao was in a good mood, and the haze of the Platinum Capital being breached had now been swept away.
"He is obviously very weak. What do you mean by the strongest?"
Isaiah looked at Leslie as he spoke and once again made sure that the other party did not hide his strength.
"I have a friend who has killed several children of the world..."
"Pfft~"
Isaiah couldn't help but laugh out loud. The look in her eyes at Lidya Su clearly said: 'That friend of yours is you.'
"According to my friend's research, after the Son of the World appears, there will be blood of destiny in the body. This is the main reason why the Son of the World can quickly become stronger and turn disaster into good luck. As the Son of the World continues to consume the blood of destiny in the body, the World
The children will become stronger and stronger, no matter whether they practice by burning their lives or overdrawing their potential, in the end, they will be healed by the blood of destiny consumed."
While Su Xiao was talking, a small bottle was placed on the table. This small bottle was almost solid, with only a hollow inside the size of a grain of rice, containing golden blood.
To put it simply, the reason why the Son of the World is able to commit suicide in various ways and still not die, and his strength becomes stronger as if he is cheating, and he can explode in battle, is actually because of the blood of destiny in his body. Without the blood of destiny,
Blood, there is no such thing as exploding. The body's energy is just that, and even if it is suppressed, it will not be exploding.
What's interesting is that when the Son of the World first appeared, he had the most Destiny Blood in his body. After he became very powerful, the Destiny Blood was exhausted.
However, there is also a kind of children of the world. They do not have the blood of destiny in their bodies, but are directly poured into the power of the world. These children of the world are generally short-lived. They are either from the chaotic evil camp or from the extremely evil camp. Su Xiao knows about these children of the world.
Two, the nameless captain and the god-king Os Tobia.
When he saw the blood of destiny in the bottle, Isaiah's eyes were clear and he said: 'You also said that friend is not you.'
Isaiah turned his eyes to Leslie and said: "Young man, you don't have to work hard to become stronger. In order to save the world, can you donate some blood?"
"Okay, I didn't expect that I could still be so important. It seems that I am not destined to be the protagonist in the story. Those stories are all lies."
Leslie showed an open-mindedness befitting his age. He raised his arm and expressed his willingness to have his blood drawn.
boom!
A loud noise came. At the same time as the loud noise appeared, Su Xiao received a strong warning from the perception tower. He jumped out of the window and just happened to jump onto the back of a demonic beast.
Su Xiao looked up at the sky, and a black hole appeared in the sky. Then, the black hole enlarged to several kilometers in size and turned into a black hole, with green mucus dripping from it. This scene was no different from the scene in the Platinum Capital.
