Chapter 135: Unstoppable Space-Time Activities
Friday, August 15th.
Colehan and the wanderers stood on the wall of the Lishan Technology Field Base and looked at the wilderness in the distance.
A wanderer with a mechanical eye sighed softly: "It seems that the space-time activity has weakened a little, but... it seems that there is still no sign of stopping at all?"
Colehan also frowned slightly: "The battle between the Corporate Alliance Army and the Space-Time Knights has obviously ended..."
The other wanderers also had bewildered expressions.
Obviously, the current situation is quite surprising to them!
The battle between the Corporate Alliance Army and the Space-Time Knights had ended two days ago.
In this large-scale battle, neither side achieved an overwhelming victory, but judging from the final result, it was clear that the Knights of Time and Space won.
Originally, the corporate coalition army had gained the advantage on the battlefield. If the Spacetime Knights still refused to retreat, they would likely suffer heavy losses. However, no one expected that at this critical moment, an unprecedented spacetime storm would suddenly occur!
The space-time rifts and space-time creatures created by this space-time storm brought tremendous help to the Space-Time Knights, and the reinforcements sent by the Corporate Alliance to rescue the Dawn City Council also weakened their own combat effectiveness to a certain extent.
The final result was that the Corporate Alliance, under the arrangement of Commander Tours, evacuated to Dawn City in an orderly manner, and was forced to abandon its outer military bases and several important satellite cities.
Although the Spacetime Knights suffered heavy losses and their achievements were limited to causing certain damage to the satellite cities near the two battlefields, for them, this was obviously a very fruitful result.
Because the purpose of the Time and Space Knights was not simply to destroy, but to further expand their influence by taking advantage of the panic caused by the war.
This time, the Time and Space Knights not only defeated the Corporate Alliance Army head-on, but also sent a special force to infiltrate the Dawn City Council, creating a large-scale time and space event and causing unprecedented chaos.
For the Time and Space Knights, this was a victory they had not achieved for a long time since Epsilon's death.
However, the Time and Space Knights also suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Corporate Alliance Army, so they were unable to continue to expand their victory. After all, the Corporate Alliance Army was not defeated, and relying on the outer defense of Dawn City, it was difficult for the Time and Space Knights to capture it.
Once the space-time activity ends, or reinforcements from the Corporate Alliance arrive, the main force of the Space-Time Knights will be wiped out.
Therefore, although these people from the Spacetime Knights were a bunch of lunatics, they were not stupid enough to go up and give themselves up, so they chose to quit while they were ahead.
The wanderers who took refuge at the Lishan Technology Field Base were able to escape unharmed.
In the past few days, they witnessed Lishan Technology's corporate army successfully blocking the tide of space-time beasts, collecting all the remaining weapons and equipment of the Icefield Defense Group, preserving evidence, and also repairing the damaged base.
Once again, the wanderers were amazed at the amazing efficiency of Lishan Technology in this regard.
You know, repairing a field base is a huge project. Generally speaking, only large consortiums with strong infrastructure capabilities, such as the Icefield Defense Group and the Wilford Heavy Industries Group, have the ability to quickly repair base projects.
For other small consortiums, especially those with underdeveloped infrastructure capabilities, repairing their bases often takes months.
Lishan Technology shows a unique feeling everywhere!
In addition, what surprised these wanderers the most was that the time and space activities were not over yet!
The scale of this time-space activity was rare in recent years from the very beginning, and the bizarre intensification afterwards made the time-space activity become a tense situation that had not been seen in nearly a hundred years.
According to common sense, space-time activities of this scale would definitely be unsustainable.
Because the phenomenon of space-time activities is essentially a special state of intersection between the space-time world and the real world, just like a series of natural activities such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning. When the energy accumulates to a certain level, it will manifest itself in violent forms such as storms, but this energy will soon be exhausted and everything will return to calm.
According to past experience, although a space-time storm of this scale is very violent, it should be enough to subside in a few days, and everything will return to normal.
These wanderers can naturally return to the wilderness again, scramble for the newly formed time and space crystals, buy new vehicles to supplement the fleet, and seize the best positions.
But things seem a little different this time.
The wanderers are indeed gearing up and ready to seize territory, but this space-time activity shows no signs of stopping!
The space-time activities have indeed weakened, and the number of space-time rifts and space-time creatures has decreased. Lishan Technology only needs a few teams to clear out the space-time creatures active nearby, but there is no sign that the space-time activities will disappear completely!
Space-time rifts are still appearing, space-time creatures are still roaming the wilderness, and even the frequency of time snow is obviously much higher than before.
In this case, the wanderers would still be doomed if they left Lishan Technology's field base!
After all, they don't have sophisticated weapons and equipment like the Lishan Technology Enterprise Army, not to mention the space-time creatures. Such frequent time snow is totally beyond the ability of their simple energy barriers to cope with.
Colehan looked at the dark sky in the distance and felt that this time and space activity seemed to not stop for a long time. He could only sigh softly and return to the convoy of his settlement.
In the RV, several elders of the settlement were playing cards out of boredom, while others were playing Mewtwo or engaging in other entertainment activities.
Cole Han found a random seat and sat down, sighing softly: "This time-space activity is really too weird, I can't see any possibility of it ending."
"Based on the current situation, it's going to be a long time before we can return to the wilderness."
"We don't know what's going on in Liming City. So far, no news has come in. This place is like an isolated island, completely cut off from any news from the outside world."
An elderly elder said: "This time-space activity is indeed weird. I thought it would stop soon, but it has continued until now."
"I'm afraid Dawn City can't do anything. The battle with the Spacetime Knights seems to have severely damaged them. Moreover, even if they have the ability to provide relief, they should first help the rich people in the inner city. We wanderers in the wilderness can only fend for ourselves."
"But I am a little worried. It is not a solution for us to continue like this! We have been living here, accepting the protection of Lishan Technology, and they are also distributing our daily necessities. With the assets of our settlement, can we afford it?"
A young man from the settlement said: "They didn't charge us any money."
The older elder glared at him and said, "Oh, what? You still want to default on your debt? Just hope that the other party won't ask for too much. You must be tired of refusing to pay the consortium."
Colehan was also somewhat helpless: "We have to pay them. After all, Lishan Technology saved our lives. Even if they ask for too much, we can only grit our teeth and pay them back."
"Now we can only hope that they don't ask for too much."
The wanderers were silent, and it was obvious that they didn't have any better solutions.
These wanderers in the wilderness are relatively moral. After all, they make a living in the wilderness in the form of settlements, and their organizational form is closer to a large family. Without this kind of morality to maintain it, it will soon fall apart and it will be impossible for them to survive in such a cruel environment.
When these settlements were about to suffer a catastrophic disaster, Lishan Technology opened the doors of its field base to accept them and provided them with protection. This was of course not unconditional, and "protection fees" were required.
It's simply the difference between giving money directly, giving space-time particles, or repaying the favor slowly in the future.
Relatively speaking, these wanderers are obviously more willing to give money and space-time particles directly.
Of course, they can also choose to default on their debts, but anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't do that.
All the wanderer settlements previously believed that Lishan Technology was a small consortium, but after seeing the strength they demonstrated in dealing with space-time activities this time, who would still dare to think so?
Wanderers are basically not protected by the government. Since they have chosen the freedom of the wild, they naturally have to bear the risks of the wild. If they really fall out with Lishan Technology, the consequences are something they cannot afford.
Therefore, these wanderers, including Colehan, were grateful for having survived such a cruel space-time activity on the one hand, but on the other hand they were worried about losing their freedom. What if Lishan Technology asked for too much and they would have to work for Lishan Technology for the rest of their lives? That would be a disaster for them.
Just then, someone suddenly said, "Communication in the hash space has been restored!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they perked up.
When the Internet is restored after a downtime, it’s as exciting as when a phone call comes back.
The previous intense space-time activity almost completely cut off hash space communications in a large area near Dawn City, and even communications in the entire Old Land were affected.
According to previous experience, the hash space will only be fully restored when the space-time activity is completely over, but the situation this time is somewhat different. The space-time activity is still going on, but the communication in the hash space has been initially restored.
Colehan quickly looked at the bracelet and found that it was briefly stuck. A moment later, a large amount of information poured in.
Obviously, the hash space has been restored, but not completely, and it is still intermittent, but at least normal information transmission can be achieved.
The messages that had been blocked in the past few days were received all at once, causing the bracelet to freeze for a moment.
"The Space-Time Knights actually reached the Dawn City Council headquarters?!"
Colehan was shocked to see the news, but he also understood why the Corporate Alliance Army had not appeared until now.
Obviously, the corporate coalition forces, including the entire Dawn City, have been thrown into chaos!
On the Internet, discussions about this incident have exploded, because countless people have filmed the scene at that time, and various videos have been spread everywhere!
On the parliament building of Dawn City, black space-time matter flowed down like a waterfall, and various space-time creatures were rampant. The corporate coalition army was obviously a little confused and exhausted...
The photographer lives in a high-rise apartment near the Dawn City Council and obviously belongs to a relatively wealthy class in Dawn City. Logically, the place where he lives should be very safe, but one can still feel the fear from the perspective of his filming.
Who wouldn't be terrified when a terrifying space-time activity suddenly broke out in a place that everyone thought was absolutely safe?
After all, these middle-class and rich people are very fragile themselves, and they don't have the strong heart like the wanderers in the wilderness.
Cole Han couldn't help but sigh: "The people of the Space-Time Knights are so terrifying! Fortunately, we are just small fry struggling to make a living in the wilderness, and we will not have anything to do with the Space-Time Knights."
