My monster merges everything.

Chapter 423 Alien Invasion
"what?!"

Guo Gang looked at Su Han in shock, as if trying to find some evidence from his expression that this was not the truth.

But obviously, this is just self-deception.

"Let's clean up the battlefield first. Have someone keep an eye on the ruins of Ningshou City, but don't get close to them casually. We have a lot of things to do."

Guo Gang just nodded heavily and agreed. Although he knew that the situation had become more serious, he could not give up.

The northern city wall directly entered the highest level of combat readiness. Even the few insect gods and star torch guardians who had just arrived at the northern city wall immediately began to be on guard.

As long as the Lizardmen make any movement, they will immediately take action to attack them to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Su Han returned to the South City and immediately entered the psychic world. The surrounding environment changed again and turned into a purple world under the Star Torch Tree Soul.

Li Wenyuan, Deng Guanshan, Ouyang Qing, Jiang Beiwu and others had been waiting here for a long time. Everyone had a serious look on their face, waiting for news from Su Han.

"Has the invasion of the Lizardmen been resolved?"

Li Wenyuan asked first, with deep worry in his eyes. That was a sixth-level invasion. Even with Su Han there, the damage caused if a fight broke out would be incalculable.

"I have dealt with the invading Sixth Order Lizard Elder. The casualties should not be too great, but we have a bigger problem."

Su Han did not hide anything. He said directly: "With my current strength, I cannot destroy the descended lizardman island. There are higher-level powers, even above the seventh level, protecting it."

"This"

The expressions of several people changed, and they immediately realized what this meant.

"Generals, let me first tell you about the situation around a few bases. Although I cannot destroy them, I can at least suppress the Lizardmen and prevent them from coming out easily."

"Let me first talk about Fenglu's situation."

Li Wenyuan was the first to calm down. He said in a deep voice, "After the Blood Sea Pillar in the Ningshou City ruins had problems, the Blood Sea Pillar in the Tianqing Mountain area also had strange fluctuations. The shadow of an island could be vaguely seen before. It should descend in the next few days. I just don't know if the Lizardmen will launch an attack. At the same time, at the previous Fenglu Mountain location, the aura of death has once again enveloped that area, and new cracks have gradually formed. And this time it is not leading to the Blood Sea Space, but the Great Blood Sea. The Undead are also taking action."

Tian Qingshan and Fenglushan are not far from the Fenglu base. Although there is no outbreak at the moment, the entire Fenglu is already in imminent danger.

"I will go to Fenglu to take a look, if..."

Su Han had just started talking when Jiang Beiwu suddenly interrupted him and said, "I don't think you should go around putting out fires. That will only waste your time."

Jiang Beiwu raised his head and looked at Su Han, his resolute eyes full of seriousness: "A deep lake has appeared around the Kakta base. The lake is composed entirely of demonic energy and is shaped like an abyss. According to preliminary investigations, it should also lead to the Great Blood Sea. Nuclear bombardment is completely ineffective. It is likely to be the same type of invasion as the Blood Sea Pillar. Can you also go to the northwest? Even if you can go to the northwest, what about the wider uninhabited area? In fact, we should have thought of it earlier. Those places that are not occupied by humans are the best places to invade, even if there are a few fewer humans as resources."

He paused, then said, "Traces of the vine monster were found deep in Mobei. That place has long become a dead place."

Everyone's expression darkened, and Ouyang Qing continued, "Old Jiang is right. The situation is too big for you to handle alone, and this is not the way to handle it. A new blood sea pillar has appeared in the Lingzhou area, and the Lizardmen have chosen one of their targets here. They have also found traces of the alien demons, although they are only on the edge, but they have come around."

"The situation in Desert City is also not optimistic. Although most of the ordinary survivors have moved to the Tree Region, most of the remaining warriors are warriors, but the environment is getting colder and it is no longer suitable to stay. An ice mirror has appeared across the valley in the White Peak Mountain Area. The Night Winter Clan is coming out of it continuously and stationed in the White Peak Mountain Area."

Everyone spoke, only Qin Henghu and Liu Rulong remained silent. In fact, if it weren't for Su Han, the East China Sea base would have been the first large survivor base to fall, and all the people there would have become food for the insect swarm, leaving them to wreak havoc and plunder the land.

"Retreat"

After everyone was silent, Li Wenyuan finally said these two words with difficulty.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Wenyuan. Deng Guanshan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Jiang Beiwu had a complicated expression and finally sighed.

Retreat
This is a word that the armed forces soldiers and any Xia people are unwilling to say. Are they going to give up the land under their feet and give it to those foreign races?

Li Wenyuan straightened his frail body, his voice still as steady and calm as ever: "If we save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will survive; if we save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost. As long as we are still here, it doesn't matter if we retreat. This huge land, the origin of the world, they want to fight for it, let them fight to the death. Use this time difference to fight for a glimmer of hope."

"We understand the truth, but we just don't want to give in. Commander, we are soldiers."

"Oh, what's there to be unwilling about? Decades ago, there were no ravines or snow fields that we hadn't dug into. Why can't we do that now? We made the second-hand choice without any prior agreement from the beginning, didn't we?"

Li Wenyuan laughed, and he meant something.

In fact, what he said was not wrong. Since Su Han had not yet reached the fifth level, they had already regarded him as a backup for human protection. The full cooperation of the Wushan base and the rapid clearance and stabilization of the southern area were all key to the second-hand preparation.

They continued to use their respective bases to gather survivors, rescue talents, and then transfer talents, silently accumulating strength for the rear.

If there is hope of recovery, the major bases will become the huge driving force for the counterattack. If not, the efforts and accumulation of the major bases will become supplies for the southern region.

Li Wenyuan looked at Su Han, who nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then let's move."

Su Han was actually also worried about one thing. What if the attacker was not a sixth-level creature but a seventh-level creature like the Eclipse Worm?
He can use the power of all the Torch Trees to temporarily fight against the seventh level, but he will be difficult to defeat in the end. If a war really breaks out, it will mean destruction for the base where he is.

"First, transfer the ordinary survivors, then transfer the important supplies, and the armed forces will evacuate last. If possible, we may have to use your apostle's great demon space this time."

The insectoid cracks can achieve rapid transfer, but for large-scale transfer, the insectoid cracks alone are not enough. Keeping them open for a long time will consume a lot of energy. If the Demon Mother's Nest was supporting it, it would be easier, but the Demon Mother's Nest is currently undergoing a fusion upgrade and there is no way to free up its hands for the time being.

"I will let the Void Monster cooperate. It can open more channels at the same time."

The plan of a full retreat was undoubtedly earth-shattering, and many middle-level generals and commanders found it difficult to understand this sudden change.

But orders are orders. The moment the order was given, except for the Wushan Base and the East China Sea Base, which had been completely incorporated into the Tree Domain, the remaining four bases all began to move. At the same time, some larger survivor bases also took action.

During Su Han's continuous conquest, the connection between the several major bases and other survivor bases was very close.

After the gathering of the Inspirers, they have been guiding the development of the survivor base and continuously accepting more survivor teams. Now that it is difficult for humans to hold on to areas outside the south, they are also the objects of persuasion. It is best for them to enter the tree domain one by one.

Admittedly, such sudden news caused some bases to question several official bases, but amid such doubts, more bases chose to evacuate.

Small bases and subordinate county bases continued to converge into several main bases through underground tunnels, and then ordinary survivors began to enter the Void Giant Monster's big demon space with large amounts of supplies, starting the long relocation process.

The population of several bases far exceeded Su Han's imagination. With the continuous efforts to gather survivors, each base had a population of at least tens of millions, and as many as tens of millions. They gathered from the urban clusters and then all moved to the tree area.

Yan Meiyu and Li Ruikang were almost too busy. They had to settle these survivors in many southern cities and maintain order in the entire base as much as possible.

The addition of tens of millions of new people is no small challenge to such an order.

Fortunately, starting from the communication between the major bases, the situation of the Tree Domain has become the focus of each base's secret publicity. At the same time, the exchange system of the Tree Domain has been reflected in all major bases. Therefore, with such a foundation of understanding, the whole integration process has been relatively smooth.

At Fenglu Base, after Li Wenyuan came back from the psychic world, he asked his men to prepare for the transfer of personnel.

He did not inquire about it personally, but calmly found Academician Long Xingyuan who was at the research center.

"We have three subsidiary cities and more than a dozen satellite towns. We need to relocate more than 3 million survivors. Some of them just arrived at Fenglu Base a few days ago."

There was no one else in the research center's room at this time. Li Wenyuan showed a slightly bitter smile on his face, and he also revealed his unwilling side in front of Long Xingyuan, who could be considered an old friend.

If the old men in the military found it difficult to retreat, what about him?
The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies.

He is not the emperor in ancient times, but his current status and responsibilities make it impossible for him to retreat, nor should he retreat.

Long Xingyuan poured a glass of water for Li Wenyuan and placed it in front of him.

At this time, Li Wenyuan's Zhongshan suit was already somewhat wrinkled, with some parts damaged due to fighting, and he had no intention of replacing it. His thin and small body looked like an ordinary old man.

"Only by retiring can we save more people."

Long Xingyuan sighed: "In the entire human race, there is only one sixth-level person, Su Han, and the fifth-level ones are only the Star Torch Guardian and the Insect God General. But even if such a force is dispersed to the four major bases, it is not enough and cannot be defended."

It is true that the sixth level will not act rashly, and the same goes for the seventh level.

Although the collision between the worlds is still intensifying, the suppressive force does still exist. In addition, it is enough for the fifth-level commander to lead a large number of alien races to attack.

There is no need for them to take any action at all, nor is there a need for them to take too much action for the time being.

Everyone is cooking the dish of Earth, and war, plunder, chaos, etc. are all adding more seasoning to this dish.

"It is indeed not enough. I will abandon what the enemy is fighting for now, ascend to a demon and then enter the Great Sea of ​​Blood. Humans will also draw strength from that place."

"you?!"

Long Xingyuan looked at Li Wenyuan in astonishment: "What do you want to do?"

"Let's give it a try. The possibility I mentioned before, the method of resisting the erosion of the demon's will, can be considered a shortcut."

Li Wenyuan smiled slightly at his old friend, but Long Xingyuan frowned: "It is possible, but you..."

He hesitated before saying, "You are now completely bound to the Star Torch Tree and are no longer the current Li Wenyuan."

"so what"

Li Wenyuan seemed to have considered it for a long time. He said: "I heard it. It was as if there was a voice telling me that I should do this. Only in this way can I save more people."

"And he didn't turn into a monster, he just looked a bit like a burning spirit?"

"Hmph" Long Xingyuan just snorted coldly. He was not disdainful of the concept of incense and gods, but he saw it more clearly.

"You are already old, so I won't tell you that you don't understand this. The Star Torch Tree gathers a lot of human beliefs, spirits, faiths, emotions, etc. You have to stay in it and use this power to suppress the erosion of the Great Demon's will. It is very likely, but you will also be affected by these powers and become stronger. But one or two years... As time goes by, you will be exposed to more and more of these powers, and you will also be affected to some extent, such as your humanity being gradually suppressed."

"The power of human nature cannot be suppressed so easily."

“But it will be numb.”

Long Xingyuan won't buy it. When you see a child who has lost his parents, you will feel pity and compassion and will help him.

One will be like this, two will be like this, three, four, five. When there are countless children like this and similar situations keep appearing in front of you, your compassion will become numb sooner or later.

Li Wenyuan stopped talking. He believed in the power of human nature, and the power that came from human beings themselves was always friendlier than the will of the devil.

What he didn't tell Long Xingyuan was that he had indeed received some guidance that allowed him to improve his strength faster and use the power of the Star Torch Tree, the Lamp Tree, humans and even the earth to improve himself and protect more things.

Just like at the beginning of the apocalypse, he, an ordinary old man, was able to be the first to awaken the inspiration and break through to the fourth level.

As an inspirer, he seemed to be meant to be a communicator of something.

Li Wenyuan's silence also silenced Long Xingyuan. After a while, he said, "Go and talk to Su Han. He is the leader."

"Haha, of course I have to say that it would be difficult to do without his help, and the impact would be smaller. But you should make some preparations first, at least help me choose a space that can be used in the sea of ​​blood."

"it is good."
