Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 6: Frost in the Ruins(1/2)
Five years after 2246, one of the twelve major space nodes used by humans to survive, the frost node, just like its name, was shattered in the frost month.
As of 3:30 in the morning, the number of survivors counted: 12,417. This number is less than one ten thousandth of the population in the entire frost node.
"Captain, should we retreat? No survivors have arrived for half an hour. Moreover, more and more human and earth beasts are fighting with our guards." A heavily armed soldier reported.
The captain looked at the purple crystal card in his hand: "There are still 30 minutes left before the scheduled time. Tell the brothers to hold on for another 30 minutes. We will retreat on time at 4 o'clock. Go and make an announcement. If there are any survivors, just watch Their destiny."
Looking at the panicked crowd not far away.
The captain sighed. Even if these people really reach the Frostfall node alive, most of them can only become wanderers in the end. However, those guys in the Explorer Alliance will not be affected. The captain looked at the numbers on the other side. Hundreds of people, including some beautiful women whose every move can captivate people.
"I don't know how Nuan Xin is doing!" In the crowd of the Explorer League, the young lady who had previously teased Resa muttered softly. She was Ye Mosha, Nuan Xin's only friend.
"I hope you can escape!" Ye Mosha put her hands on her chest and prayed. Although she knew that unless a miracle happened, Nuan Xin would be in danger.
…………
The time was pushed back to 2:54 in the morning, and Resa and his team had already set off for the Explorer Alliance headquarters, preparing to escape through space.
This journey turned out to be even more dangerous than when Resa came back.
Not only did they have to quickly go to the Explorers League, but they also had to worry about the surprise attacks from the beasts. Although many beasts were watching from afar, there were also a few who chose to come up and attack the three of them.
Di Beka has never experienced such a battle, let alone Nuan Xin. From the beginning, Resa held Nuan Xin and the three of them walked quickly, and then Di Beca supported Nuan Xin and followed, with Resa leading the way. Originally, The journey, which lasted only about 20 to 30 minutes, seemed elusive and out of reach at the moment.
"Boom..." After killing another earth beast, Resa bent over and breathed heavily. He did not stop fighting along the way, and the superpowers in his body had long been drained. He had just recovered. A few will be thrown into the next battle.
Behind him, Di Beka was listless and looked very tired. Nuan Xin's lips had turned white and blood was dripping down her trouser legs. She had obviously lost too much blood.
"This is not the way to go!" Resa shook his head, which was a little swollen and painful.
Looking at the dilapidated buildings on the left and right, I saw that it was still about ten minutes away from the Explorers League. However, although the distance was not far, it was extremely difficult to reach it.
While Resa was thinking about countermeasures, the originally blood-red sky began to flash, and a harsh siren echoed in the sky: "All survivors, please hurry up and go to the Explorer Alliance to prepare for a space jump. In 30 minutes, Arrangements will be made for the evacuation of all survivors, and no one will be left behind."
Resa was slightly startled, but felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a large mouthful of blood welled up.
"Damn..." Resa was a little furious. Although he swallowed the blood forcefully, a lot of blood still flowed down the corners of his mouth, causing the two girls to panic.
At this time, Resa no longer cared about comforting the two girls. He quickly took out a purple snake fruit from the space storage device and swallowed it in three mouthfuls. The lavender juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, mixed with blood, and made him
It does look a bit ferocious.
No longer caring about the heartbreaking pain, Resa turned around, and in the panic eyes of the two women, he held the two women on his shoulders with one hand and ran away.
Resa is not sure when the unknown energy in his blood will explode. Although as he grows, this explosion becomes more and more peaceful, but it is still not something he can bear now.
The power of blood? Resa is not sure. The only thing he knows is that this burst of energy will make him look like a mutant. Although he still has his own thoughts, to others,
All he needs to do is produce a change in his flesh, which is enough to sentence him to death.
Endless pain tortured his mind and body. Along with this hellish pain, a large amount of energy emerged from his body. Different from the previous super powers, this energy was full of blood and violence.
Can't be suppressed?
Resa's heart was filled with despair.
Since they can't suppress it anymore, let them go! In this way, at least they can...
Resa's eyes began to glow red, and with this power, Resa rushed towards the League of Explorers like crazy. While running, the corners of his mouth
Drops of blood kept flying out, making Nuan Xin and Di Beka tremble with fear.
This speed of travel is definitely extremely fast. All the beasts that come close to it are basically killed by Reza without even reacting. Although this blood-red energy is not much, the quality is extremely high.
However, while killing these beasts quickly, Reza's injuries became more and more serious, so that his speed became slower and slower.
The massive blood loss made him mentally dazed.
DiBecca's eyes revealed heartache and worry. After she hesitated to speak several times, she seemed to have made some important decision. She gently bit her ring finger, and a trace of crystal red with a sweet smell lingered on her finger.
The fingertips popped out, she frowned slightly, and gently put her fingers to Resa's mouth, allowing the blood to flow into his mouth.
What she didn't know was that the moment she bit her finger, all the heavenly beasts in the ruins of Frostbite fell into a riot. After identifying the location of their auras, they frantically gathered towards the location of the three of them.
At this time, Resa's consciousness was blurred, and all the movements on his body were just his instincts.
Until a sweet and fishy liquid that made him intoxicated and familiar appeared in his mouth, he seemed to have received a sweet rain in the long-drought land. Basically, he bit the jade finger on his lips subconsciously.
Swallowing like crazy.
A look of pain flashed across DiBecca's eyebrows, and the pain of blood being sucked away from her fingertips made the corners of her eyes sparkle. However, she bit her lips tightly and refused to make any sound. As the weather progressed,
More and more blood was sucked away, and pieces of fine golden scales began to appear on her neck.
At the same time, surging supernatural powers were constantly emerging from Resa's body, accompanied by vague and unknown energy.
A slight sense of coolness made him wake up again. He felt something strange in his mouth. He subconsciously bit it lightly, but there was a soft groan next to him, and then the jade finger was quickly pulled out of his mouth.
.
He turned around and saw that DiBecca was blushing and staring at him in shame, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged.
After living together for 5 years, this is the first time Resa has seen DiBecca with such an expression. It is really hard to imagine that she, who is usually cold and indifferent, actually has such a side.
"Hmph~~~~~"
Seeing Resa looking at her, Dibeca snorted lightly and turned her head away from him.
Resa was not conscious before, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Seeing that Resa no longer paid attention to her, Debecca lowered her head and gently licked the wound on her fingertips like a wounded animal.
On the other side, Resa was attracted by the violent gunshots coming from behind. When he looked around carefully, he realized that he and two girls had actually crossed the Guardians' defense line and arrived at the Explorers Alliance.
in front of the door.
Although I really want to know what is going on, the top priority is to leave here through the jump device.
Resa put down the two girls, protected them behind him, and led them into the lobby of the Explorers League.
Not far behind him.
"I said, did you see that kid just now?" A guardian said to the mechanic beside him.
The mechanic nodded: "It's too scary. Is this still a human being?"
"This should be a super powerful person." The guardian kept talking, but the work in his hands kept going.
"When will I have such strength?"
"Come on, stop dreaming. Hurry up and provide fire cover." The guardian on the other side knocked on his helmet, and the mechanic quickly controlled the turret to pour out energy towards the beast tide not far away.
…
Nuan Xin was obviously prepared for the scene in the League of Explorers, but Di Beka had obviously never seen so many people. She was already very cold and rarely communicated with her brother at home. See you now.
Seeing so many people, she became even more silent.
Not long after Resa and others entered the hall, the gunfire outside began to become fierce.
Di Beka seemed to feel something, with a hint of worry and fear on her brows, and subconsciously leaned closer to Resa. Nuan Xin was a little flustered. She didn't know whether she should follow Resa or return to the Explorers League.
there.
Although they have arrived at the Explorers League at this time, it does not mean that they have escaped.
"Captain!" Not far away, a soldier lowered his voice and reported to a soldier who was obviously a commander: "Our scout team was wiped out three minutes ago. Judging from the information they passed, I'm afraid Shuanghan
All the heavenly beasts in the node have gathered here. The beast tide is roughly estimated to be close to ten thousand levels."
The captain frowned: "How long can our defense line last?" There were still 15 minutes left before the scheduled evacuation time. He really didn't want to retreat early. If survivors came at the last moment, they would have killed these people holding the arms.
People of hope.
There was some bitterness on the soldier's face: "Ten thousand levels is just our rough estimate, and judging from the information passed on, there are many beast-level beasts in the beast tide. If there is a fight, our defense line will be torn apart in about 1 minute. 2
We will be completely wiped out in less than a minute, and by then..." He could no longer say the following words. He believed that the captain could understand what he meant. In this case, no one would really be afraid of death.
The captain's face also showed a hint of solemnity: "How long will it take for the beast tide to arrive?"
"Without any resistance, in five minutes, this place will be flat."
The captain took a deep breath: "Notify the mechanics to set up sentry guidance cannons, the demolition team will plant bombs, and we will retreat."
"Understood" the soldier rushed out, shouting something on the intercom as he ran. He was obviously arranging the evacuation.
There is nothing to say about the retreat after that! It is still very risky for so many people to use the jump device at the same time. But at this point, there is no better way. If something else happens, you can only admit it is bad luck.
Moreover, in order to be on the safe side and avoid some intelligent mutant humans and beasts from using the space jump device to sneak into other nodes, the blasting team planted bombs around the hall and then installed high-power concussive bombs on the jump device.
The spatial fluctuations caused by the concussive bombs will completely cover up their whereabouts. Even if they are familiar with space technology, it will be difficult to find the trajectory.
The thundering sound of gunfire outside became more and more intense, and the mechanics who had set up the sentry cannons gradually withdrew.
After the last soldier withdrew, the captain waved his hand, and everyone retreated to the jump area. Although there were more than 10,000 people here, it seemed very empty. Obviously, most people in the budget could no longer reach here.
The captain nodded, and at the same time, a soldier clicked quickly on the console.
The jump device started to operate, and purple light gradually appeared in the field. The light slowly flowed and became more and more intense.
The sound of gunfire outside became much sparser and was replaced by violent explosions. It was obvious that the beast wave had broken through the sentry cannons set up by the mechanics and entered the blasting zone.
The crowd became a little panicked, and the fear of death oppressed everyone. At this moment, the purple light flashed violently, and the jumping device finally began to jump.
To be continued...
