Chapter 531 Take off!
ten years?
Su Xia captured this key information.
He was actually very curious about how long the Mechanical Race’s current resource reserves could last.
Can it hold out until the mechanical race enters the interstellar age?
The technology of this planet has reached a critical juncture, and it is only one step away from the interstellar age.
Su Xia listened for a long time, but these researchers seemed to have only a vague understanding and could not provide much useful information.
More than ten minutes later, Su Xia took off the bloody crystal.
He left the secret room and went to the rest of the underground space to visit the children and the elderly who had been transferred underground.
When they saw him, the children came up to him enthusiastically and formed circles around him.
"Hello, Principal!"
"Uncle Principal!"
"Principal brother!"
“…”
Su Xia responded one by one with a smile on her face.
Afterwards, he said some encouraging words with a calm expression and steady tone, telling everyone not to worry.
After that, Su Xia returned to the ground and continued to preside over the situation.
The battle for Coral City reached a stalemate.
The same is true for other cities.
Not only the southwest region, but also the northwest region, southeast region, east region and so on, every region is like this, and even the other two continents are almost the same.
After several days of continuous attacks, the players were a little tired, but the mechanical clan's psychic shield still showed no signs of being broken.
In the days that followed, life gradually returned to normal.
Players are divided into many groups and take turns to attack the mechanical base.
As for those players who do not need to attack, they can fight monsters, level up, and earn coins and equipment as before.
The residents of Coral City also resumed their previous lives, coming out of air-raid shelters and basements. The whole city gradually regained its vitality, but the mechanical creatures that used to patrol everywhere were gone.
“Will life continue like this?”
This is a question that weighs on everyone's mind.
The days without the mechanical people seem to be freer.
But as long as the mechanical tribe's base is still there, people will not have true freedom.
In the following month, this doubt did not dissipate, but became heavier, making many people uneasy.
Fortunately, the new mayor of Coral City is very capable. As soon as he took office, he issued a series of people-friendly policies, which made life a lot easier for the residents of this city.
And this new city lord was also known by Su Xia.
Chai An.
A young man who came out of the slums and was once the city lord's secretary.
On his first day in office, a large number of corrupt officials were arrested and all departments in Coral City were replaced.
The new city lord was decisive and ruthless. A week after taking office, he killed many wealthy businessmen who took the opportunity to make a fortune from the war. He killed so many people that they were frightened.
In less than half a month, he had completely grasped the power of the entire Coral City in his hands.
He took control of a large amount of vacant land in Coral City, and also took control of industries such as energy, medical care, steel, and food.
He turned all these industries into public property of the city and they were no longer owned by any private person.
Dragon City had communicated with the new city lord and was very satisfied with him. They recognized his actions and status in Coral City.
A month later, the entire Coral City has a new look!
The city is being reborn.
The new construction plans are being implemented one by one.
As long as everything goes well, the entire city will become increasingly powerful in the coming decades, and its residents will live a more prosperous life.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that the mechanical race will not counterattack.
Once the mechanical race counterattacks, the entire Coral City will be reduced to ruins overnight.
"Will the Mechanic race counterattack?"
People look forward to the future with hope, but fear the future with anxiety.
What will the future be like?
Time goes by day by day.
Soon, the second month of the war came to an end.
During this period, the Zerg also joined the war. Thousands of Zerg formed a sea of insects and repeatedly pounced on the mechanical bases in various areas.
However, even the seemingly endless Zerg could not break through the Mechanoid base.
On the last day of this month, the Terrans, the Undead, and the Zerg held a large tripartite meeting.
The three parties have not yet formed a formal alliance, but it’s almost there. After all, their goals are the same.
At the meeting, the issue of alien technology was mentioned.
"We are stepping up the absorption of alien technology. In five years at most, we will be able to develop powerful weapons to break through the mechanical base." The Lord of Dragon City spoke at the meeting.
"Five years is too long. The technology of the Mechanical Clan is more advanced than ours. We are afraid that they will enter the interstellar age first." On the Zerg side, the octopus monster Haidar, who was covered in tattered linen, said.
"We can only do our best." said the Lord of Bear City.
"By the way, isn't your Zerg Queen known for mastering the path of star evolution? Why hasn't she become a star-level creature yet?"
"This road is difficult, and even Your Majesty the Queen cannot achieve it overnight."
The octopus monster Haidar shook his tentacles as if he was shaking his head.
Then, he looked at the players' camps and asked:
"You undead are visitors from another world."
"In your world, is there technology that can lead to the stars?"
Upon hearing this, Li Defu and others were all stunned.
"us?"
"Our side is not as good as yours!"
"Boss Ke, our technology tree is a bit crooked. All resources are used for internal consumption. Only a few major countries have chosen space technology..."
They told the truth that the technology on Earth is very different from that here.
Perhaps because of years of war, this planet is superior to Earth in materials science, biology, engineering thermodynamics, and so on.
But the basic living welfare on this planet is far inferior to that on Earth.
I can only say that both sides have their advantages.
"Why do you call me 'Boss Ke'?"
The octopus monster Haidar didn't understand.
"Does this title have any special meaning?"
"That's all I have to say. I'll explain it to you later. Let's get down to business first." Li Defu smiled, retaining some mystery.
"All right……"
Haidar didn't know that Mr. Ke was just one of the names the players called him.
Secretly, many people call him "Octopus Brother".
The meeting lasted for several days, and the specific treaty was signed in the evening of the last day.
The Zerg can live on this planet, but their living area must be confined to the uninhabited areas . They cannot cross the uninhabited areas by any means, otherwise it would be a declaration of war on the other two races.
As for Star Technology, the three parties decided to share it.
The Zerg also provided some information about evolving into star-level creatures.
All in all, the players gained the most benefits. They didn't have to pay almost anything, but got a lot of data files for free.
Of course, the main offensive force in this war is the players, which can be considered a kind of balance.
After the meeting, the war continued.
Time flies, and it's already the fourth month of the war.
For four whole months, the Mechanical Clan had been on the defensive and had no intention of attacking at all.
"What on earth do the Mechanic want to do?"
"Defending for a lifetime?"
Heavy doubts weighed on people's hearts.
This behavior of hiding in the base is really not like the style of the mechanical race.
How domineering were the mechanical races during the war between races?
During this period of time, many neutral organizations sided with the human race, after all, they are human beings.
It's the fifth month.
At the beginning of this month, the Zero Point Tavern announced a major news to the public - the tavern gave up its neutrality and declared war on the mechanical race!
When the news came out, countless people were shocked.
The outcome of the war is still unclear. Given the style of the Zero Point Tavern, how could they make a choice now?
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
"From today on, Mr. Masked Stranger will be the eighth elder of the tavern. The five deceased elders will no longer occupy seats, and the other four vacancies will be filled by the alternate elders."
This is the external announcement of the Zero Point Tavern, which follows right below the announcement in which the tavern declares war on the mechanical race.
Seeing this news, countless people dropped their jaws.
They were fighting each other a few months ago, and now they have become a family?
What kind of magical plot is this?
People noticed that below this message were the seals of seven other elders.
In other words, inviting the masked man to become a elder was unanimously agreed upon by the seven existing elders of the Zero Point Tavern.
"The Masked Stranger is really amazing. He managed to kill himself and become a veteran."
"Since the Psychic Age, he is the only one who has achieved this, right?"
People couldn't help but sigh.
In this world, strength is the key.
If you have enough strength, what do rules matter?
As long as you are strong enough, no matter how powerful the rules are, they cannot block your way.
A few days later, Su Xia attended the first meeting of elders.
The meeting was held in a secret room with a round table in the center and twelve chairs surrounding it. Each elder had his own seat.
Including Su Xia, only six people came to this meeting.
The first and second ones still haven't shown up.
The other four positions were not filled.
Master Wu Hongyu sat in the third seat, Zhuang Ren sat in the fourth seat, and the Lord of Xiongcheng sat in the fifth seat.
Su Xia is familiar with these three people.
The sixth one, codenamed [Mechanical Witch], is a Gothic girl.
She was not tall and had a petite body. She had dark black eyeliner and dark red pupils. Her pretty face was sickly pale. She had a dark red rose on her chest and wore an expensive black dress. She looked a little melancholy.
According to Zhuang Ren, this person is a paleontologist.
It was really hard for Su Xia to connect such an appearance with paleontology.
The seventh elder, codenamed [White-haired Death], is a handsome man with long white hair.
He is a scholar of mysticism who often travels around the world, investigating various strange events and weird rumors.
These two rarely return to the tavern headquarters.
They did not participate in the previous hunting of Su Xia in the Midnight Tavern, and they didn't even know about it. They were only informed by Zhuang Ren at the end.
"Are you sure you want to join the battle?" asked the white-haired Grim Reaper.
"I have no objection anyway." The Lord of Bear City shrugged. He certainly welcomed the Zero Point Tavern to join the battle.
"I have no objection either." Master Wu Hongyu expressed his opinion.
"This is what the First One meant. He wants us to join the war." Zhuang Ren spoke up and explained the reason why the Zero Point Tavern gave up its neutrality.
"He's always like this. He doesn't show up himself, but just sends a random message and expects us to comply?" The Gothic girl's voice was cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
"The second one also agreed." Zhuang Ren glanced at her.
"We don't even know who they are, so why should we listen to them?" the Gothic girl said coldly.
"But they never missed it." Zhuang Ren said.
"Just because I didn't make mistakes before doesn't mean I won't make mistakes in the future." The Gothic girl said coldly, "You can fight me if you want. I'm not interested."
The meeting ended quickly.
The Gothic girl left midway and did not participate in the subsequent discussion.
The White-haired Grim Reaper chose to support him, but he was not interested in fighting. Perhaps he was tired of fighting before and now just wanted to continue his research and investigation.
In the days that followed, the Zero Point Tavern also joined the war, but did not directly send in combatants. Instead, it served as an information transit station, using its own massive information system to provide convenience for the three tribes.
However, the addition of the Midnight Tavern did not bring about much change in the war.
It was the end of the sixth month.
On the last day of this month, the situation of the war changed.
The mechanical clan is moving!
The mechanical race, which had been silent for six months, finally responded on this day.
However, they did not counterattack.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
That evening, the base of Coral City began to shake violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred, and the entire city was shaking.
Click, click!
Cracks appeared around the base.
Many attacking players didn't have time to react and fell directly into the rift.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom", like thunder rolling in the sky.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the entire base rose from the ground and turned into a huge aircraft, like a giant shuttle, with a blue energy shield on the surface, rising higher and higher, moving away from the earth.
"Fuck, the base can fly?"
At this moment, even Li Defu and the others were stunned.
There was only a huge bottomless pit left in its place.
It's not just this base.
There were more than a dozen branch bases surrounding the Coral City, all of which flew up together, leaving the earth at a steady speed and flying towards the city in the center of the continent.
There are countless flying mechanical creatures protecting each base, which cannot cause any harm to them.
At the same time, news came one after another from the player teams responsible for attacking the remaining areas.
Mechanical bases all over the world are flying!
They seemed to be holding a great racial migration, flying over mountains and rivers, and flying over the oceans. Each base had only one goal - the Silver City!
On this day, in the afterglow of dusk, people on earth raised their heads, shocked, and saw the flying mechanical bases.
"What's going on?"
"The Mechanical Tribe is not going to fight anymore? Or do they want to concentrate all their strength?"
The three parties held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
It's ironic that as the attacking party, they should have taken the initiative.
But over the past few months, the initiative has always been in the hands of the mechanical clan, and everyone has to be on guard against their counterattack.
"Be prepared, this may be the signal for a decisive battle."
"Everyone head to the Silver City!"
