Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 75 Base Defense Battle (Additional Chapter)
air.

Xie Shen overlooked the entire base from his flying sword.

Can see:

There were countless human soldiers on the ground below. They gathered together in a square formation and were marching towards the battlefield in a goose-stepping manner.

The soldiers all wear exoskeleton armor.

On both sides of it, there are dozens of mechanical power armors walking around.

And without exception.

The morale of all the soldiers was surprisingly high, and not a single trace of fear was shown on their faces.

——The location where the giant thalamus core appeared this time is directly south of the human base on the surface.

When Xie Shen flew to the southern battlefield on his sword, countless human soldiers armed with guns had already gathered on the wall.

Outside the wall, countless searchlights were scanning back and forth.

Under the light, Xie Shen could clearly see that at this moment there were nearly thousands of densely packed thalamic cores gathering in the open space outside the wall.

And the number is still increasing.

Inside the thalamic core, one can see thalamic sentinels crawling back and forth.

From time to time, they would poke their heads out from the cracks on the surface of the thalamus core, as if they could burst out at any time.

The battle is about to break out.

...

air.

Just as Xie Shen was concentrating and observing the situation on the battlefield.

Li Xiu's voice suddenly came from the combat power detector hanging on his left ear.

"I was just on the South City Tower and saw you summon many flying swords in one breath. Can you use that move again?"

"Use it again?" Xie Shen asked with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Aren't those thalamus sentinels rushing over yet? If you ask me to use that move now, isn't it just a waste of spiritual energy?"

Li Xiu explained: "Your move was very impressive. Using it in front of all our soldiers can boost morale, which is very important."

"That's fine."

After Xie Shen responded, he began to mobilize the spiritual power in his body again.

Under the guidance of spiritual power, several golden spiritual auras once again surged out from his purple mansion and transformed into countless flying swords shining with golden light.

night sky.

Under the golden light, Xie Shen, surrounded by hundreds of flying swords, looked like a sword immortal.

This magical power instantly attracted the attention of all the soldiers present.

This went on for about ten minutes.

As more and more soldiers gathered on the southern battlefield, the thalamus cores outside the wall began to wriggle inexplicably.

This moment.

Li Xiu once again used the combat power detector to remind Xie Shen: "Pay attention, it's coming."

"What's coming?" Xie Shen replied subconsciously.

Li Xiu said very quickly: "That super-giant thalamus core is moving towards our base."

"I have to go and direct the others, so I won't talk to you for now."

"Take care of yourself."

After saying this, Li Xiu took the initiative to cut off contact with Xie Shen and said no more.

At the same time.

After being reminded by Li Xiu, Xie Shen looked towards the open space on the south side of the battlefield.

Can see:

Not far away, a giant brain that was more than ten stories high was wriggling and slowly appeared in Xie Shen's sight.

That inside of the brain.

Countless thalamic sentinels covered with pitch-black shells were surging like boiling water.

——The appearance of the super-giant thalamus core was like a signal to launch an attack.

At this moment, all the thalamic sentinels on the battlefield rushed out from the thalamic core.

Because there are just too many of them.

They piled up together like a pyramid, like a tsunami invading the shore from the sea, rushing towards the human base on the surface frantically.

"kill!!"

See the thalamus sentinels rushing forward.

At the same time.

The human soldiers guarding the parapet also let out roars like mountains and seas.

Under the fire cover of a group of human soldiers, the mecha divisions drove their mechanical power armor and rushed out from the south wall one after another.

period.

Then, bursts of electronic synthesized sounds were heard coming from the loudspeakers on the wall.

[The space fighter, Xuannv, has arrived at the battlefield. ]

[X-type pulse particle accelerator cannon loading.]

As the sound rang out, a streamlined D-type combat spacecraft slowly descended from the sky.

at the same time.

There are also Titan-class mechas that are more than ten times larger than ordinary mechas. After being assembled, they rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

[Titan-class power armor Chengying has arrived at the battlefield. ]

There are even reinforcements coming from the Heavenly Space Station.

[Titan-class power armor Odin has arrived at the battlefield. ]

The entry of strategic-level weapons caused the morale of the human race to soar to its peak.

Amidst the flames of war.

Soon, voices were heard coming from the human soldiers.

"For all mankind!"

This slogan was like a wave, echoing continuously throughout the entire southern battlefield: "For all mankind!"

You can even hear English mixed in from the Heaven Space Station.

"for the humans!"

Infected by the atmosphere on the battlefield, Xie Shen, who had been watching from high in the sky for a long time, couldn't help but activate the spiritual power in his body.

Under the guidance of spiritual power, countless golden flying swords formed by golden spiritual energy turned into a majestic sword rain from mid-air.

Every drop of 'rain' that falls on the thalamic sentinel can take its life in an instant.

Under the concentrated fire of the human side, it only took a short while for the entire southern battlefield to be filled with the corpses of the Thalamus Sentinels.

The thalamic sentinels suffered heavy losses.

There were no casualties on the human side.

This battle was simply a crushing defeat of the Thalamus Sentinels by the humans.
air.

Just when Xie Shen was planning to press on with the victory and wipe out the thalamus cores that were now left alone.

Suddenly, Li Xiu's voice came from the combat power detector: "Don't rush to attack, try to consume less spiritual power."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard that.

Li Xiu said: "Don't think too simply about the thalamus core."

"They are not so easy to kill."

"Although the battle has continued until now, we have not suffered any casualties."

"But you have to know that in the war on the technological front, what is fought for is not human lives, but resources."

"Don't think that we just killed so many thalamus sentinels in one breath."

"But in reality, this is not a big deal for the thalamic nuclei."

"Once this batch is consumed, they will be able to reproduce a new batch in a few minutes."

"The number of thalamic sentinels is unlimited."

"And our military strength is limited." Li Xiu concluded, "So in the end, we humans will be at a disadvantage."

Hearing this, Xie Shen was puzzled and said, "Since we can't kill all the Thalamus Sentinels, why don't we capture the leader first and find an opportunity to kill the Thalamus Core?"

"Do you think the Thalamus Core is so easy to kill?" Li Xiu said calmly, "In short, don't rush to attack."

"I asked you to conserve your strength for a reason."

"Just wait and see what happens." Since Li Xiu said so, Xie Shen followed his advice and stopped taking action.

In order to consume as little spiritual energy as possible, he stopped flying with his sword and instead landed on the city wall from mid-air.

With the good view from the high vantage point, Xie Shen continued to watch the changes in the situation on the field.

Stomping outside the wall.

After clearing out all the thalamus sentinels, the two Titan-class mechas of the human side, led all the ordinary mechas, and rushed towards the thalamus core in the distance.

After closing the distance, all the mechas fired at the thalamus core at the same time.

The thalamus cores that were under concentrated fire were blasted to pieces in an instant, and some were simply beaten into a pool of minced meat.

At the same time.

The aerospace fighter Xuannv, which had been hovering above the battlefield, also released an X-type pulse particle accelerator cannon at this moment.

With just one shot, the huge thalamus core was pierced through on the spot.

It looks like it is about to collapse and will not last long.

On the battlefield.

Just when everyone thought that the battle was coming to an end.

The thalamus cores that were blasted into countless pieces of flesh by artillery fire actually squirmed and gathered together again, and gradually recovered to their original state.

The wounds on their bodies began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that.

Countless black spots inexplicably appeared in the bodies of these resurrected thalamus cores.

The spots continued to grow and develop, and soon took on the rudiments of thalamic sentinels.

Not long after.

Thalamic sentinels are once again generated within the thalamic core.

They surged out of the thalamus core like a tide, and the battle between humans and unknown life forms began again.

"did you see it?"

After the thalamus cores have come back to life.

Li Xiu continued to speak to Xie Shen through the combat power detector: "Those thalamus cores, although their combat power is very weak, are very difficult to be truly killed."

"A thalamus core often needs to be killed repeatedly ten or even dozens of times before it completely disappears."

"Our human weapons and equipment are very powerful."

"It's not that hard to kill those thalamic cores."

“But the problem is.”

At this point, Li Xiu suddenly said word by word: "The more powerful the weapon, the more resources it consumes."

"For example, those two Titan-class mechas."

"For example, the aerospace fighter named 'Xuan Nu'."

It was as if to confirm what Li Xiu said.

As he spoke of this, the aerospace fighter plane Xuannv, which had been hovering above the battlefield, suddenly flew high into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Xiu explained at the right moment: "The X-type pulse particle beam of the space fighter Xuannv can only be used three times in total."

"After three times, the energy on the spacecraft will be completely exhausted, and it will be forced to return."

"Look at those mechas again."

As he spoke, Li Xiu guided Xie Shen again, focusing his attention on the mecha that was engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Thalamus Sentinels.

——Under the countless Thalamus Sentinels' successive and reckless attacks, the mechas soon began to be unable to hold on.

After the energy was exhausted, the mecha pilots in the cockpit were all torn and dragged out by the thalamus sentinels.

At last.

All the mecha warriors were killed by the thalamus sentinels.

And no body is left.

This was the first time that there were casualties on the human side.

At this point, the situation on the battlefield finally saw its first change - the balance of victory began to tilt towards the thalamus cores.

Without mechas and aerospace fighters to assist in the attack, the human side can only switch from offense to defense.

Under Li Xiu's command, all the soldiers huddled in the Lingguang formation and fought a war of attrition with the thalamus sentinels.

Faced with the thalamus cores that needed to be killed dozens of times before they could be truly eliminated, Xie Shen only felt a headache.

He couldn't help but ask Li Xiu: "So you still have a trump card?"

"You asked me to conserve my strength."

"But now the mechas and aerospace fighters have all been used up."

"I can't be the only one left to fight against so many thalamus cores in the end, right?"

"Don't panic." Li Xiu seemed to have a hidden card.

He said confidently: "In fact, you can think of those thalamus cores as batteries."

"Whether it's reproducing new thalamic sentinels, or being killed and then coming back to life."

"All these actions consume their electricity."

"Do you understand my metaphor?"

"I understand." Xie Shen responded quickly.

Li Xiu continued: "So, whether it is the mechas that were sacrificed before, or the aerospace fighter Xuannv that was forced to return."

"I let them in just to consume the 'electricity' of the thalamus cores."

"After they are all sacrificed, I will have the soldiers defend with the help of the spiritual light formation, and continue to further consume the 'electricity' of the thalamus core."

"That way, when the thalamus cores run out of steam, you can use the trump card I left behind to destroy them in one fell swoop."

The more Xie Shen listened, the more curious he became.

He asked Li Xiu again: "So, what is your trump card?"

"The trump card I have left is naturally." Li Xiu said to Xie Shen word by word: "Of course it is a cultivator like you."

"Monk?!"

Hearing this, Xie Shen suddenly realized: "Yes. When the energy of the aerospace fighter is used up, we can go back and replenish it."

"If a mecha is destroyed, it can be rebuilt."

"Even if our human soldiers die, they can be resurrected with the help of resurrection magic."

"But only the monks."

Xie Shen said: "Once the monks are killed, their cultivation will all be lost after they are resurrected from the dead."

"So the monks cannot die."

"They can only be used as 'trump cards' to finish off the battle at the end."

At this point, Xie Shen couldn't help but praise Li Xiu: "Your arrangement is really clear!"

"It can be said that all available resources are utilized to the extreme!"

"Ah,"

In the combat power detector.

Li Xiu rarely smiled at Xie Shen.

he said meaningfully.

"Those mechas."

"And the dead human soldiers."

"But they are all necessary sacrifices."

"Sometimes, these sacrifices are necessary in war."

"Then we can achieve final victory."

On the battlefield.

As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, he heard a series of horn sounds coming from the loudspeaker.

After a few seconds.

Upon hearing the horn, the monks of Qingyang Sect gathered on the battlement wall on the south side of the battlefield.

It was not until this moment that Xie Shen discovered that during the short few years of his retreat, more than a dozen late-stage Qi training cultivators had unknowingly appeared in the base.

There are also countless cultivators in the middle and early stages of Qi training.

These monks not only know magic, but are also equipped with various high-tech weapons.
