Chapter 202 The First Shot in the Dark Night

"Has the Moon Spirit changed?"

Xu Le used ancient Yinduo psychic energy, and he could absorb Yueling, but it needed to go through a stable ceremony. It would be faster to ask Alley directly now.

"There have been changes, and it feels weakened a lot, but this weakening refers to the comparison with the previous Red Moon."

Alley's explanation Xu Le immediately understood that the red moon has indeed become weaker, but this weakening is compared to the previous red moon.

"According to normal circumstances, the arrival of the Kuroshio is when the Red Moon is at its strongest. If it becomes weaker at this time, what is the reason?"

Xu Le pinched his chin.

Then Alley, Wang Shu, Toad and other creatures on the side also pinched their chins.

Xu Le glanced at them:
"Don't you have anything to say?"

"No." These people said in unison.

"Okay." Xu Le shook his head, everyone was unwilling to use their brains, the team was hard to lead!

Xu Le turned on the ethereal state, thought carefully, made an analysis, and came to a conclusion.

"Is there a possibility that the red moon dimmed because the moon spirit was hurt?"

The statement made by Xu Le made several other people look at each other in dismay. Will Hongyue be hurt?What are you kidding?

"But the red moon is in the sky?"

"Yes, the red moon is in the sky." Xu Le nodded, he also knew this.

However, he was also very puzzled, what was the howling sound made by the red moon every time the black tide came?It sounded like the scream of some kind of creature...

Moreover, the Kuroshio is called the catastrophe of the red moon by Gu Yinduo, doesn't it mean the catastrophe of the red moon?

Seeing Xu Le thinking there, Wang Shu took the initiative to walk over and said to the others:
"Everyone is on the defensive, the current situation is unclear, and even if there is any problem, it is beyond the control of personal ability.

Do your job well and protect yourself more than anything else. "

"Yes."

As the moonlight fades, the sky draws a lot of attention.

Not only Xu Le and the others, but other mercenaries around also noticed this. The lights were gradually brightened, and the moon was still red, but the whole night was not as bloody as before.

It turned into a night that was almost the same as in the past.

This is not a good sign.

At the very least, in the past, the Kuroshio did not need to consider lighting issues, but now that it has become a dark night, the city defense is the most stressful first.

If there are any large monsters, because of the darkness, there is no way to focus fire to kill them from a long distance, and the monsters are likely to break through the barrier if they rush too close.

Now we can only hope that Zion's plains expansion policy is effective.

Woo! ~ Woo! ~
When many mercenaries hesitated, Zion's piercing central siren suddenly sounded, and everyone began to look up to the sky, only to see many steam airships began to fly towards the city defense area.

"Isn't the risk of the steam airship going into battle very high?"

Xu Le looked at Alley who was on the side. Things like steam airships, although they have undergone regional airbag reforms, will not crash due to the destruction of a certain place.

But it is essentially a gas-lifted flying device, and such a device itself has great risks.

Once the gas can no longer maintain the aloft, the airship will most likely fall.

Flying weirdness is rare, but definitely there.

In a situation like the Kuroshio Current, less has become a relative term.

Alley also frowned slightly after seeing the airship.

"I don't know, I haven't been involved in battle before."

Afterwards, these steam airships turned on the lights at the lower part one after another, and the bright red light almost illuminated the earth.

"This? Is it a moonstone lamp?" Xu Le was slightly shocked.

"It's a moonstone lamp." Levi said, who hadn't said much.

Xu Le and Levi's glanced at each other. As warlocks, they both knew that moonstones could be used as light energy, but this approach was too extravagant.

Moonstone is considered a warlock resource, and they have to be careful when doing research.

Now the Zion government directly uses moonstones as lighting energy. This cannot be described as extravagant, and it is simply burning money.

"Is the parliament crazy?" Levi's didn't understand.

"It should have been driven into a hurry." Xu Le began to become pessimistic.

It must be because the war is tight and the situation on the front line is not optimistic, so the Zion Council will send a steam airship to carry out lighting work.

Moonstone is very expensive, but if Zion is breached, it will be nonsense to say that it is expensive. Only when people are alive, money will become meaningful.

But Xu Le still has to sigh with emotion, the Zion Council is really rich, just like a big dog!

"Brother Shu, take a look, I'll go back and get something."

"Row."

Xu Le returned to the bedroom, and Ding Ke jumped on him as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Le quickly hugged it and rubbed its head.

"Well, now is not the time to play."

Meow!
Ding Ke yelled obediently, and then lay on Xu Le's shoulder with his belly down.

It's been a long time since I lay down in this position.

Xu Le took out his spare pistol from the drawer, as well as some handmade anima bullets.

After obtaining the power of Gu Yinduo from the cemetery to form a psionic pool, Xu Le seldom used it.

But now it seems necessary to take it out again.

After moving the magazine and switching the safety, Xu Le felt the unique metallic smell of the firearm, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Things like guns are really fascinating."

Going downstairs again, several mercenaries in Wang Jing's regiment were whispering:

"It's so dark, even darker than before."

"Okay, don't talk about it, we all know if you don't tell me, isn't there a light?" Gu Si Ni said a little irritably.

However, her words seemed to remind Wang Jing, the head of the group who hadn't expressed much opinion. Tonight, Wang Jing was like a transparent person and didn't speak much.

The main reason is that the current situation is unclear, and Wang Shu's performance is already very good.

If she was in command before, it is very likely that the team would have been completely wiped out in the first wave of killings by the night family.

After hearing someone say that the lights are too dark, so as a light warlock, she will naturally do her part at this time.

"Spell-illumination."

A bright ball of light rose and floated above everyone's heads. Warlock's lighting consumes psionic energy, and in essence it is almost the same as moonstone lighting.

In Xu Le's view, this is a somewhat unreasonable approach, after all, the total amount of psionic energy involves the state of the warlock himself.

But he didn't say much, there's no need to offend people because of this.

In the darkness, everyone waited quietly.

At this time, apart from the violent explosion of Zion City Defense, no other sounds could be heard.

As Alley said, Zion's defenses are strong.

At least as far as the frequency of artillery fire is concerned, it is absolutely complete to blow up the lighthouse.

In silence, Xu Le and his party safely spent an hour, bringing the time to 1:[-] midnight.

According to the time, it is now January 360, 1.

Today is also the day of Chinese New Year, and this month, the air is much colder than before.

Without the blood of the red moon, the night of waiting outside seems to be colder than ever.

Standing where he was, Xu Le shivered unnaturally.

And Ding Ke in his arms subconsciously arched towards Xu Le's arms.

"Do you feel a little cold?"

"I feel it." Wang Shu said the same.

"It's very cold, and there's something wrong with the cold." Alley frowned.

"Something's wrong? What do you say?" Xu Le asked.

Alley looked at the handrail of the fence. The remaining water in the teacup left by the mercenary had already formed icicles. Although it was not completely frozen, it was not far from freezing.

"On January 1 in previous years, the temperature is unlikely to reach the level of freezing."

"Could it be cold air coming?"

"I don't know." Alley is not from the meteorological station, and she has no way of judging whether the current situation is related to the Kuroshio.

The conversation between the two seemed to relieve the cold breath.

Ding Ke stuck out his head in Xu Le's arms, because it was too cold, it didn't even want to stare at Alley.

Anyway, Xu Le is holding it. The dog is so big, the owner will not hold it.

call!
Suddenly, something seemed to pass over the heads of the crowd. Xu Le and others were startled, and raised their guns to the top of their heads.

"what?"

"I don't know, the speed is too fast, I didn't see it clearly."

"Boss, do you want to shoot?"

When the mercenary asked questions, Alley and Levi also looked at Xu Le.

Only Wang Shu didn't say anything, because only he knew that Xu Le would never agree to shoot.

I don't know when there was a light drizzle in the air, a very thin, cold rain.

When the cold rain fell on Xu Le's glasses, it would form a layer of fog.

Xu Le took off his glasses and put them aside, and said indifferently:
"No, just do your job."

"Don't you need to issue a warning? Those things are likely to be unknown and weird, and they may attack the interior of Zion." Alley said again.

"Raising the alarm now is likely to attract the weirdness in the dark. I can't risk my life to be a trumpeter."

Allie was silent for a while, maybe she already knew the answer in her heart, but she still hoped that Xu Le could give her a different answer:

The differences in concepts and ideas are reflected again at this moment.

"I see."

Xu Le saw Alley's expression, and said in a compensatory way:
"If the alarm is issued now, once a large number of weird attentions are attracted, you, me, brother tree, will all die.

Only by living well can I fight better for Zion, and I am more worthy of living than them. "

Ailey looked at Xu Le and shook his head slightly.

"You don't need to explain this to me, I am a warrior, and my duty is to protect you.

But I do hope that you can show your value in the future, for Zion. "

"Yes, for Zion."

Xu Le put away his usual sloppiness and glibness. At this time, he may be the most real him.

"Everyone is on alert, there may be missing weirdness in the future."

Although everyone does not know where Xu Le made this judgment, but for now, Xu Le's approach is biased towards personal survival.

This is also worth supporting for the remaining dozen or so mercenaries.

"Yes."

call!call!
As he spoke, two more flying objects in the shadows flew over his head, one large and one small.

In the dark, although Xu Le had no way to determine the appearance of the other party, he still locked on to these two weird attributes through Gu Yin's multi-horizon.

[Jungle Glider, level 4 weirdness, many ancient sounds. 】

[Living corpse-dragon, level 4 weird, with many ancient sounds. 】

They are all level 4 weirdness, and just as Xu Le thought, if a breakthrough is formed, the first wave of breakthroughs must be flying species.

Right now, these two monsters should be flying species.

"Brother Tree, they are flying towards the interior of Zion."

"Huh?" Wang Shu didn't quite understand what Xu Le meant.

"It would be safer for us if there was something weird inside Zion."

Wang Shu nodded, he also agrees with this statement.

Xu Le pondered for a moment and asked again:

"Brother Shu, do you feel that there is something of the same origin as you in Zion?"

"Same source? Golden Bright Tree?"

"Yes."

"There is no similar thing, even if there is something that attracts weirdness, it is different from the golden light tree."

Seeing Wang Shu shaking his head, Xu Le became puzzled again, what kind of qualities could attract strange things?

Zion doesn't have any obvious special buildings, so why does it attract the weird invasion of the Kuroshio?
What about Tianrui Lifeng and Red Moon Temple?

"I heard that the Red Moon Temple is the place that has been most seriously attacked by weird things."

"This is true. It is said that after every black tide, the high-level weird corpses left in the Red Moon Temple are endless, so they have never lacked materials for researching taboos."

"And why were they attacked?"

"I don't know." Wang Shu spread his hands.

The conversation without an answer ended, and Alley beside him suddenly tensed up:

"Attention, there is a smell, the kind of night family from before."

"alert."

"Yes."

After Alley smelled the scent and issued a warning, Xu Le and others naturally put on a defensive posture, but his approach was somewhat different from Wang Shu's.

Wang Shu didn't mean to talk to other mercenaries around, but Xu Le said to Wang Shu at this time:

"Brother Shu, use mercenary sign language or other silent methods to inform the neighbor."

"Okay." Wang Shu nodded, and began to gesture to the neighbors.

With previous combat experience, these studio mercenaries naturally wouldn't scoff at Wang Shu's reminder as they did just now.

The nearby ones quickly reacted defensively, and the ones farther away also followed suit after seeing their defensive gestures.

Ai Li looked at Xu Le in confusion, what she wanted to ask was: "Why are you willing to remind others at this time?

But she herself is a person who is good at thinking, and she pondered for a few seconds before speaking:
"You see the entire street as a defensive area, and their regional defense will also reduce the pressure on us. Is that what you mean?"

"You're so smart." Xu Le said sincerely.

But Alley curled his lips, not paying attention to this kind of praise at all.

"This kind of praise is usually said to children."

"Here we come." Wang Shu reminded.

From their actions, Xu Le has already judged one thing.

That is, these Night Familiars and the Kuroshio weirdness are completely different.

The weird purpose of the Kuroshio is very clear, which is to attack the core area of ​​​​Zion, and the purpose of the night family is also very clear, they are here for killing.

At this time, Xu Le had already set up a sniper rifle and fired the first shot in the night battle.

boom!
