Chapter 125 Saved
After seeing the signs of the space-time storm, the other people in the settlement could no longer remain as calm as before.
They now had no time to thank Karhan for his wise decision. They just regretted why they had not packed up earlier and why they had not left here a few hours earlier.
The settlement was instantly in chaos. All kinds of goods that were originally prepared to be loaded onto trucks were thrown on the ground. A large amount of large supplies could not be moved at all. Some people wanted to rescue the supplies that they had accumulated with great effort, but others dragged them onto the vehicles.
"It's already this late and you're still thinking about these useless things. Your life is more important!"
In this wilderness, not many people have truly witnessed the space-time storm, because most of them are already dead.
There are many young people who have lived in this settlement for several years, but every time before a small space-time storm occurs, they can get early warning from the space-time forecast. The leaders of the settlement are often experienced and can lead everyone to avoid danger in advance.
If a large-scale space-time storm really occurred, the entire settlement might have completely disappeared from this world.
This time, everyone could see the danger of the incident from Khar Khan's serious expression.
If we were just one minute slower this time, the entire settlement would have completely disappeared in the wilderness!
An off-road vehicle had already started and was heading towards the wilderness. Colehan couldn't help but frown and shouted loudly: "Stop, don't act alone!"
But the driver seemed to have lost his mind and was indifferent to Khar Khan's warning. The SUV still showed no signs of slowing down and rushed towards dawn.
Just as it was about to disappear from everyone's sight, a space-time rift suddenly appeared nearby without warning. Several space-time creatures emerged from the rift and jumped onto the off-road vehicle.
The off-road vehicle was covered by these space-time creatures, and the outer shell corroded rapidly. Soon it became a shell that could only move by inertia, and the people in the vehicle were also corroded by the space-time creatures.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the settlement couldn't help but shudder.
The vehicles of these wanderers in the settlement basically do not have strong protective features and are completely incomparable to the military infantry fighting vehicles of the Corporate Alliance Army.
Normally it can barely withstand the snow for a while, and there won't be any big problems as long as you clean it frequently, but it will just be scrapped faster.
But encountering space-time creatures is no different from being made of paper.
The appearance of space-time storms is often accompanied by intense space-time activities. Not only is there a large amount of time snow mixed with time fog, but most importantly, space-time rifts will appear frequently, causing low-level space-time creature activities to become frequent.
In this situation, if you stick together and maintain superior firepower, you can still have a chance of survival. If you are left alone, it is basically a dead end.
Khar Khan quickly calmed down. He knew that the life and death of the entire settlement now depended on his own thoughts.
"Everyone get in the car! Those who are capable of fighting will follow me to clear the way ahead. Be careful to avoid time rifts. If any accidents occur, you must not stop. If you stop, you will really be unable to move forward!"
The vehicles of this settlement started up one after another, and everyone squeezed into the RVs and SUVs, and under the leadership of Colehan, they broke out towards the nearest satellite city.
Although they had to leave behind a large amount of supplies, there was no other way. Saving lives was the most important thing at this time.
Soon after they set off, the space-time storm became more and more intense, and they could vaguely see that the space-time storm seemed to be even more terrifying in the direction of the Enterprise Army's garrison in the distance. The sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, and a terrible hurricane was raging.
In the center of the space-time storm, it seemed that a large amount of time snow was falling at an accelerated rate. Even the space-time matter on the entire surface had become a viscous black torrent due to its high concentration, flowing everywhere.
For these wanderers, although they were only at the edge of the storm and relatively safe, the storm was spreading rapidly, and if they ran slowly, they would still die.
Not to mention those space-time creatures, even if the black torrent formed by the space-time matter enriched on the surface swept over, these people's vehicles would be scrapped in an instant, and no one would be able to escape.
Suddenly, Korhan shouted, "Turn right immediately to avoid the space-time rift ahead!"
Due to the emergence of space-time activities, the internal communication of the convoy has been completely interrupted. Colehan is now directing others through a simple internal communication system of the convoy.
The convoy immediately began to turn right collectively. They were all wanderers who had experienced life in the wilderness and had good driving skills. But even so, one RV turned slowly, and several space-time creatures jumped onto its roof the moment it approached the rift.
The people in the RV screamed.
There were some people in the settlement who were in charge of logistics, but their combat abilities were not strong. They were terrified to see the space-time creatures lying on the hull of the RV, corroding it desperately.
Several cars nearby immediately opened fire on the space-time creatures on the RV. Dense bullets hit these space-time creatures, but they were not greatly affected . The RV's shell was still corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, a big hole was corroded on the RV, and a space-time creature drilled into the RV.
Kerhan gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care about so much anymore, evacuate immediately!"
Everyone could only watch as the RV gradually fell behind and was caught up by more space-time creatures. It was soon covered with a layer of sticky black substance, and in the blink of an eye only a car shell was left.
This is the tragedy of these settlements. They have no heavy weapons, and when they encounter a tide of space-time beasts, they have no other choice but to escape.
Although the entire convoy was running at full speed, some of the RVs were old cars with insufficient horsepower and could not keep up with the speed. So gradually some people were left alone and died in the mouths of the space-time creatures.
Khor Khan was heartbroken, but he had no other options. If he hesitated even a little, the entire settlement would be wiped out in the wilderness.
"Boss, how should we go now?" someone asked.
Korhan looked around and saw that the route of the entire convoy had changed beyond recognition due to the frequent space-time rifts. After changing direction several times, they did not significantly get closer to Dawn City and Satellite City, but instead deviated further from the route.
The activities of the space-time storm are still becoming stronger and stronger, with no signs of calming down. If it continues like this, this convoy will sooner or later be surrounded by more and more space-time creatures.
In this desperate situation, Khar Khan also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. For him, this level of space-time activity was completely beyond his and this settlement's ability to resist.
Suddenly, Khar Khan's eyes lit up and he saw the border of a base in the distance.
That is the field base of Lishan Technology.
"Quick, everyone, rush to the Lishan Technology field base at all costs. Maybe we can still have a chance of survival there!"
Kerhan knew very well that it was unrealistic to escape to Dawn City at the current speed. Moreover, Dawn City and Satellite City were likely to be under control during this special period, and foreign convoys might not be able to enter smoothly.
But after all, they have a cooperation with Lishan Technology. If they can escape to Lishan Technology's field base, they might be taken in.
At worst, all the space-time particles and all the materials of the entire settlement can be handed over as protection fees. It is better than everyone dying in the wilderness.
As for whether the field base of Lishan Technology can withstand this time-space storm, Kerhan actually has some uncertainty in his heart. But no matter what, the corporate army of the consortium is always stronger than the armed forces of their settlement. Even if they want to escape, it will be safer to run with the Lishan Technology convoy.
Korhan's convoy changed direction and rushed towards the field base of Lishan Technology. As the scope of the space-time storm expanded, more space-time rifts appeared.
Suddenly, a huge space-time rift appeared between the convoy and the field base.
A space-time creature with third-level energy fluctuations actually walked out slowly from this crack!
The moment this space-time creature appeared, it set its sights on Korgan and his convoy in the wilderness and pounced on them quickly!
Khar Khan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was the end.
A space-time creature with level three energy fluctuations is enough to cause heavy losses to their entire convoy!
At this moment, Colehan saw an incredible scene. There were many black holes in the wall of Lishan Technology in the distance. One of the holes suddenly emitted a beam of light and then accurately hit the space-time creature.
After the violent explosion, this space-time creature with level 3 energy fluctuations was severely deformed. Its body was torn into pieces, and a lot of sticky black matter flowed down, greatly speeding up its movements.
Originally, this space-time creature pounced on Karhan's convoy, but under this attack, this space-time creature was severely damaged and had to stop, allowing Karhan and others to survive.
"What was that just now?"
Khan was a little suspicious whether he had seen it wrong.
You have to know that it is a space-time creature with third-level energy fluctuations, which is extremely dangerous to most people in the wilderness.
Korhan also knew that most of these consortiums' field bases had large machine guns or other defensive measures, so it was not difficult to deal with this type of space-time creature with level 3 energy fluctuations. But the problem was that Lishan Technology's attack was not carried out through the large machine guns on the city wall, but from the shooting holes in the city wall.
What kind of weapon could repel a space-time creature with level three energy fluctuations with just one bullet?
Moreover, the accuracy of this attack was very high. Being able to hit the target with one shot at such a long distance, the opponent's marksmanship was also quite amazing.
What Khar Khan didn't know was that this was the rebels' new sniper rifle. The power of this sniper rifle could directly blast a space-time creature with a second-level energy fluctuation into pieces. For a space-time creature with a third-level energy fluctuation, although one shot was not enough to completely destroy it, it was enough to cause severe damage.
In fact, since the bullets of this weapon are too expensive and consume space-time particles, the rebels are more economical when using this weapon . This shot was only to cover the convoy of Korhan. If it was to destroy this space-time creature, three or four rebel soldiers fired at the same time, and this space-time creature should have died on the spot in confusion.
The current space-time storm is just a drizzle for the field base of Lishan Technology. There is no need to use heavy weapons such as magnetic coils and anti-aircraft guns in the base. The hidden danger can be completely eliminated with only the sniper rifles in the hands of the resistance.
Although Keerhan and the others didn't know what kind of weapon Lishan Technology used to destroy this space-time creature, they all saw hope of escape . They immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight towards the field base of Lishan Technology.
Kharhan was ready to use a loudspeaker to make his purpose known, thinking that he should be able to get the upper hand with his friendship with Zhang Sirui and the others. If that didn't work, he could propose some more conditions, asking the other party to open the gate of the base and take him in.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could say anything, the gate of the field base had already opened.
Zhang Sirui and others certainly noticed the changes in space-time activities and recognized at a glance that this was Korhan's convoy, so they opened the door directly.
For the rebels, they have always wanted to recruit these wild wanderers into their ranks, and now is a very good opportunity.
Under the cover of the rebels, the Rangers' vehicles finally entered the Lishan Technology field base. As the heavy gate of the base fell, Khar Khan finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt temporarily safe.
Who could have thought that the space-time storm would come so quickly? If he had made the decision a little slower, if they had not prepared to evacuate before the space-time storm arrived, they might have been buried in the wilderness by now.
Khar Khan got out of the car and found that Zhang Sirui had already led the Lishan Technology's corporate army to greet him.
However, although it is called a welcome, it actually also has the meaning of surveillance. After all, although these wanderers are not strong, no one can be sure whether there are spies planted by other large conglomerates among them.
Zhang Sirui said: "Everyone has worked hard. Now please put down your weapons and have a good rest in our camp. If you have any questions, you can always find Zeng Hailong."
Of course, Zhang Sirui would not completely trust these people. He first asked them to hand over their weapons and gradually integrate into the base under the surveillance of the rebels, and then slowly try to convert them.
The wanderers looked at Kerhan, who gritted his teeth and said, "Do as Mr. Zhang says."
He knew very well that one had to bow his head under the eaves. Moreover, they came to seek asylum, and keeping the weapons would indeed arouse suspicion.
A wanderer said, "But Mr. Zhang, we can also fight. This time-space storm is likely to bring a tide of time-space beasts. Let us also take up arms, and maybe we can contribute to the protection of this wild base."
Zhang Sirui smiled and said, "Don't worry, the security force at our base is more than enough."
