Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 66: All parties, sniping, and preparation
On the Blue Planet, most areas of the world are still dark, with howling winds and floating gray fog. Occasionally, there are some areas with slightly sparse clouds, but it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
The whole world seems to have completely entered the Dark Ages.
Disasters occurred frequently, and cities that managed to maintain order completely collapsed during this period, leaving only a few large countries and a few large cities.
In these places, mysterious departments of various countries are closely monitoring the movements in the ancient land of Donghuang through various means.
Sunset Country, headquarters of the Night Watchmen organization.
"The construction speed of Shuize Base City, the No. 1 base city in the Donghuang plan, is beyond imagination. It is worthy of being a country of infrastructure."
"The various migration teams were very orderly, and no major problems occurred over the past few days."
“If it were us, could we do it?”
There is a high-level road.
No one answered, but they had the answer in their hearts: they couldn't do it. Even with the support of Xinhuo, they couldn't do it as quickly and without chaos as Donghuang did.
Some jealousy, some surprise.
But the overall expression was still calm. The senior executives sitting here knew very well that neither the construction of the base city nor the migration of all the people were the key points.
The key lies in...how to curb the growth of evil.
If this cannot be achieved, there is no point in establishing a base city.
"If I'm not mistaken, the core of the plan lies in the pure white tower in the center of the Mizusawa base!"
"But we must curb the growth of evil and protect the safety of the entire base city..."
To be honest, they are not optimistic.
Ever since the mysterious arrival and the rapid increase in the frequency of evil breeding, their Night Watchmen organization has been constantly researching ways to curb the breeding.
Of course, it can be said that their technical level is relatively low, far inferior to the already prepared firewood.
What about the big oasis?
The information they received from the White Tower messenger made them despair.
[The growth of evil cannot be suppressed.]
[The Ghost Realm devours the small worlds outside the realm one by one, and there is no way to stop it. This is the expansion instinct of the Ghost Realm, and it is also the will of the indescribable evil gods.]
[Give up that naive idea. In the past, many oases stronger than our White Tower have tried to do so, but all have failed. Many more have completely disappeared in the long river of history because of these overconfident attempts.]
The White Tower is a great oasis force deep in the ghost world!
It has the ability to survive and thrive in the dangerous environment of the deep, and there is also the king of the world, a throne-level strongman in charge.
To be honest, Yule and other high-ranking Night Watchmen have no idea how powerful the Sixth Awakening Throne is.
Too far away from them.
They only slightly know that the fourth awakening is countless times stronger than the third awakening, and the mysterious flame mentor is most likely a fourth awakening expert.
Very strong. According to the information obtained from the White Tower messenger, as long as Master Xinhuo does not die midway, his future throne-level status is almost certain.
He has a bright future!
But even at the throne level, it is impossible to stop the growth of evil, let alone the potential.
Individual power still seems insignificant in the face of the disaster of the world's sinking.
Yuer said, "I also hope that the fire can curb the evil, but we need to think rationally. If this road is blocked, where should we go in the future? Can our Sunset Country find an oasis to live and continue the fire?"
They night watchmen are already looking for them.
However, the strange world is dangerous and they can hardly move forward.
At this moment, his eyes were still fixed on Dong Huang, and he had a premonition that the key to the plan might... happen today.
They waited, feeling uncertain.
At a certain moment, I suddenly received information.
"The dark curtain of Donghuang has cracked!"
"Dawn has appeared in Donghuang! It is a dawn that cannot possibly appear after the gray fog tide has descended!"
"Xinhuo did it?!"
Yul clenched his palms, then loosened them and ordered, "Pay close attention to the situation in the Mizusawa Base City! I want all the information about what's happening there!"
A day passed, and in the eyes of Yule and other senior executives, it seemed a bit long.
Soon, they got detailed information.
According to the news released by the Donghuang Investigation Bureau, only eight low-level evil disasters occurred in the entire base city throughout the day, without any casualties or property losses!
"Is this news true? It can't be just superficial."
"There are hundreds of strange disasters in our Fog City every day, and there are many large-scale disasters!"
"The news released by Donghuang may not be completely true, but... according to the information sent back by our Sunset Nation spies in Donghuang, nothing major happened in Shuize Base City throughout the whole day. If there was a particularly large... three-star evil, it would be impossible to hide it."
Inside the conference room, the senior executives discussed the new information as their hands began to tremble.
Weird, suppressed?
Restrained!
"Project Dawn... is actually feasible?"
A high-ranking official murmured, then suddenly came to his senses after a while and shouted, "Quick, contact Xinhuo and tell him that we, the Sunset Nation, also support the Dawn Project!"
…
…
The Bald Eagle Federation, located in the underground Area 51 base, is also monitoring Donghuang on the other side of the ocean.
Since the arrival of the gray fog tide, reconnaissance satellites can no longer capture images of the Donghuang land, but Area 51's intelligence network is spread all over the place, and the information it obtains is faster and more detailed than that of other countries.
"Dawn actually appeared!"
"Donghuang suppressed the growth of evil spirits? This is impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
When the blue-robed messenger heard this from the leader, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked at the leader with a look that said "you are lying to me".
However, the chief produced evidence.
The blue-robed messenger fell silent, his three perspectives were shocked, and he kept muttering "This is impossible", "This is impossible".
After a while, his sanity gradually returned to normal. He flipped through the information in his hand and exclaimed, "This is indeed very exaggerated. However, I still hold the same view. The decline of the world is irreversible and unstoppable. Forcibly stopping it will sooner or later lead to a greater explosion!"
He was like a man with shattered values, gritting his teeth and holding on to his final stand.
But at this time, the leader in black leather handed over another piece of intelligence information.
Updated information.
And this document states that a strange evil wave will hit the Shuize Base City, and its scale will be hundreds or thousands of times greater than the small wave at the Gate of Hell!
The gray darkness obscured the sky, trying to swallow up the annoying, only shining spot in the world.
Let darkness return to the world.
The man in blue robe opened his eyes wide and slammed the table, "That's right!"
He nodded, then shook his head, and let out a long sigh.
"Tearing open the veil of darkness and ushering in the dawn is a very clever and powerful method. Even the Lord of Langtao City-State would admire it when he sees it, but..."
"This attempt is still like an ant trying to shake a tree! The evil wave that is rushing towards the base city is the best proof of this."
The man in blue robes paused and said, "It's common sense. The more people gather together, the easier it is to attract evil spirits, unless it's in an oasis."
The leader in black leather jacket naturally understood this principle.
But is it common sense? The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Maybe it is common sense for the people of the Great Oasis.
He didn't interrupt, just kept listening.
"A place like Base City, with a population of 200 to 300 million, is very likely to attract evil spirits. Moreover... the dawn that tore through the darkness obviously stimulated the surrounding environment, causing the already restless evil spirits to burst out completely at once."
"This is the price of dawn!"
The blue-robed messenger shook his head slightly.
"No matter what we do, we humans... can't stop the oncoming devouring."
…
Sunset Country,
Just as he was about to contact the senior management of the Xinhuo Office in Wudu, he suddenly stopped halfway.
Because they got the latest intelligence.
"A wave of siege?"
"This is not an ordinary wave, but a super wave that is far larger than any other wave in history!"
"At this moment, it is rushing towards the Shuize Base City at an extremely fast speed, engulfing everything in its path. It is unstoppable!"
Normally, an Awakener can kill a slightly stronger one-star evil spirit alone.
The second awakening can kill a two-star evil spirit alone. Similarly, humans equipped with awakened weapons are slightly stronger than evil spirits of the same level, but the strength is limited. Dealing with evil spirits depends more on wisdom and coordination.
In terms of numbers, human awakeners have always been far inferior to the evil ones.
Even if all the awakened people in the world were called together, they could not compare to the evil in this corner of Shuize!
The dawn that appeared before them dissipated at an extremely fast speed and was swallowed up by darkness in the blink of an eye.
Yule sighed and announced,
"Project Dawn, abort."
…
…
Shuize Base City, outskirts, location of the Xinhuo Training Camp.
This Xinhuo training base, located halfway up the mountain and shrouded in a light white mist, is also part of the base city according to the plan, but the construction of the base city has not yet extended to this area.
at the same time,
This is also the front line of the current defense circle of the Mizusawa base city.
A few circles outside the training base, there are few people to be seen.
"brush--"
A thin sword burst out with white light, followed an elegant trajectory and pierced into the eye socket of a three-star evil creature, completely destroying it.
Medesa drew back her sword, but she was still dazed.
She looked up and saw dark , covering the sky to the end of her sight. Looking back a little, the clouds disappeared and warm sunlight poured down from the sky, bringing light to the earth.
The golden dawn and the gray darkness split the entire sky into two halves.
Brings the light of hope.
She had seen that light with her own eyes yesterday, tearing apart the cloud of gray fog that had always enveloped the world.
Metissa was shocked.
Madisa.
She knelt down on the spot!
Maybe many people from Blue Star were just surprised, but as an envoy and an elite from the Great Oasis, she understood what this meant better and her three views were crushed.
How is this possible!
From yesterday to today, her expression has been dull and silly, which made Shi Yunxi a little worried, and he had to call her out to do some free work.
Also traveling with them were Polly, Anna, and Cen Jing.
They formed a team to eliminate the evil spirits around them, no matter whether they were breeding or emerging.
Pearly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Metissa. "It was just the dawn that suppressed the growth of the evil. Is it necessary to be so surprised from yesterday to now?"
“You don’t understand…”
Medesa believed that even if the dean saw it, he would be as surprised as she was.
But she didn't know how to report it.
It's too outrageous and exaggerated.
When she reported previously that there were three powerful non-human beings on Blue Star, the dean seemed not to believe it. Now, if she wrote down the true situation...Meitysa thought about it and felt that the most likely possibility was that the dean would be angry and scold her.
It's impossible to believe it! No decent person would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
Even though such a big thing happened, she didn't report a word and was still confused.
She can't figure it out!
"Then don't think about it, just fight monsters with us... How about this, I'll help you apply for a special student phone so that you can take orders online."
"Take the order?"
"Just accept the missions and earn points, which can be exchanged for some treasures in our organization."
“I see…”
After the explanation and demonstration by Shi Yunxi and others, Medesa roughly understood it.
After a little hesitation, he agreed.
Do some tasks and earn some points, then you won’t be eating and drinking for free anymore.
"Here, this is your student's mobile phone. Like this...like this, the authentication is complete and you can operate it."
She followed Shi Yunxi's instructions.
After a long pause, I came to my senses and thought, wait, how come you could just take out this phone that requires an application?
"Don't worry about these details. Let's go. We have to clean up the evil spirits in Area 127 next. Time is short and the task is heavy. It's time to set off."
“Oh…”
Still a little confused, Medesa was pulled to follow.
After half a day, I looked at the points displayed on the phone and the items that could be exchanged for them.
Metissa was confused.
From being stunned by the light of dawn, to staring blankly at the exchange list.
After a while, she asked in surprise,
"You...your organization's welfare is so exaggerated!"
…
…
Shi Yunxi's team is just a microcosm of the countless teams outside the Shuize base city.
They were racing against time and speed to kill any evil spirits they could see outside! They had to be quick. When the evil spirits were sparse, it was not difficult to kill them one by one. But when the evil spirits rolled in and gathered all the evil spirits along the way, the difficulty of killing one evil spirit would increase several times.
"At the current speed, we are able to clear out all the evil spirits within a radius of several dozen kilometers from the base city, but..."
At the command center, Director Huang looked solemn.
The news of the coming wave was detected by their special forces members operating in the field some time ago, and later they obtained more detailed and accurate intelligence from Xinhuo.
It also makes people more desperate!
A huge evil wave numbering over a million is rushing towards the base city!
That’s equivalent to a million awakened people who are not afraid of modern guns and artillery, and among them there are quite a few disaster-level evil spirits!
The outer defense wall of the base city has just begun construction.
Nothing at all.
Director Huang can only seek a slim hope from his mentor.
"At present, our Xinhuo has strong men who have gone deep into the Dark Curtain Area to kill as many disaster-level evil spirits as possible, but..."
The strong person he refers to is naturally Sister An, the only one who has six senses!
Only she can do it.
Only she has the best cost-effectiveness. Even if the Black Blade and Xing Jinglei can go deep into the evil wave and kill a few disaster-level evil spirits, the risk is too great, and they cannot fight for too long with their endurance.
Well, Brother Black Knife is no longer known for his staying power.
The blue-level evil weapon, the Evil-Slaying Blade, can only be drawn one evil at a time. The amount drawn, like a stream of water , is not enough to support the current Black Blade Chief Instructor of the Five Senses.
What he is walking on now is instantaneous explosive power.
Ilohi can rub against the outside of the wave and clear out more common evil spirits.
Only Sister An can go deeper.
But even if An Jianyou...
Fang You cut into her field of vision. Under the overwhelming waves, Sister An, who was riding on the Hundred-Eyed Flying Fish, was like a small boat under the huge waves, which could capsize at any time.
In fact, it was a small failure.
One of An Jianyou's babies, the "Four-Armed Giant Demon", was climbed up by countless evil spirits. After killing some two or three-star evil spirits, this baby with "great fighting achievements" was submerged in the wave of evil spirits.
Sister An was so scared that she threw out a few hell-level evil spirits to clear the way, and they flew away with bangs.
After a while, Sister An changed her tactics and made a comeback, controlling a huge creature that she somewhat disliked - a mountain beast, and smashed it heavily into the evil tide.
This behemoth beast, with its gigantic size and terrifying energy, is not strong enough to deal with small and powerful warriors, but it is really good at defense and dealing with large numbers of weak and evil spirits.
An Jianyou used the mountain beast as a fortress and relied on it to clear out the evil tide.
The efficiency is dozens of times that of Xing Jinglei.
However, evil spirits will also be exhausted, but compared with humans, they naturally possess enormous energy, as if they have endless power to squander. In the tide of evil, this power will eventually dry up.
The mountain beast's back shell, which was as red as a volcano, finally dried up after erupting meteor showers again and again.
An Jianyou cleared out a lot of evil spirits, but compared to the super wave that kept snowballing and coming from all directions, it was still only a small part.
There are too many!
After the gray fog tide arrived, the evil in the wild land was dozens of times more than before, and this time it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
"We sniped many evil spirits, but there are still more coming towards the base city. We can only rely on the defense line outside the base city to snipe the waves."
"But don't worry too much..."
Fang You had a faint, confident smile on his face.
This smile infected the investigators and torch fighters present. It seemed that Super Wave was not so desperate anymore because they had a mentor!
But in fact, Fang You did not foresee the emergence of the super wave.
But he couldn't panic.
He has to stay calm, stay composed and stay confident.
He is a mentor!
He looked into the distance at the pure white tower standing in the center of the city.
"With the Dawn Lighthouse, the terrifying impact on people's minds brought by the wave has been weakened to the lowest point, which ensures the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. As for other defensive measures, we have also prepared them."
"However, we don't have a giant wall now, so the layout of the outer defense line still depends on our comrades in the Investigation Bureau."
"The rest..."
"Let us defeat this seemingly impossible super wave!"
His words seemed to infuse strength.
Various clear divisions of labor began. The Investigation Bureau rushed to build fortifications, while the elites of Xinhuo continued to clear out the evil tide.
And just like he said, it was unexpected but also... not unprepared.
Millions of evil tides, destroy them!
…
…
After arranging the tasks, Fang You returned to the organization's secret realm and tapped the virtual poster girl on the panel to ask, "Based on the current speed of the wave, how long will it take to reach the outer edge of the base city?"
"About thirteen hours~!"
Xiao Huan jumped out and pulled out a map, saying, "According to the estimated movement route of the wave, these directions will be hit the hardest."
Fang You glanced over and nodded slightly.
The layout of the defense line is handled by people from the Investigation Bureau, as well as Heidao, the chief strategic director.
They had already prepared unconventional defensive measures before dawn, and now they were just increasing the "quantity" a little bit.
Let’s do a super double!
"Thirteen hours? That's enough."
On the panel, after these days of continuous hunting of high-level evil spirits, his mentor's mysterious accumulation finally broke through to 800,000 points!
It’s time to take six naps!
He glanced at the details.
[Sixth awakening guidance: You can consume 500 ghost crystals and 500 destiny points to guide the "Savior of Destiny" to awaken, but the following conditions must be met:]
〔①The accumulated mysterious value is greater than 80W.〕(√)
〔②The sum of the two dimensions is greater than 140.〕(√)
〔③Triple control of body and energy.〕(√)
〔④ Pollution degree <= 10%.〕(√)
〔⑤Assisted awakening ritual: 5000 strange crystals, 5 high-level mysterious polymers, 5 high-level materials with pure light properties.〕(√)
After experiencing the last awakening ceremony, Fang You had already guessed and prepared the materials needed.
Liu Jue was not the first one, Sister An was still ahead, and he got a lot of information from Sister An in advance.
If An Jianyou can awaken at once, how can his mentor fail?
Cough cough!
As for awakening before the war, it does seem hasty. For other awakeners, it would be courting death. Even if they enter the sixth awakening, due to the pollution of their body and mind, the combat power they can exert will not increase but decrease.
But he is different!
Guide awakening and have no worries!
No need to worry about alienation and erosion after awakening anymore.
"It doesn't take thirteen hours. Two hours will be enough."
Fang You stepped into the land of inheritance.
Blocked on all sides.
The sixth level of awakening for Master Fang has begun.
