Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 117 Speed ​​of Life and Death

"However, other settlements may not be willing to let us help them build shield towers. In the apocalypse, it is too difficult to establish trust between people, and they all have their own ways of survival."

Summer came slowly and deliberately.

Dragonbone Village exchanges information with other settlements from time to time, and even conducts trade activities. They also send people to each other to learn each other's survival skills, but to say that they are completely inseparable is a long way off.

Bai Yuekui didn't take it seriously. She replied, "In the short term, the materials for building the shielding tower are not a problem. If other settlements don't accept it, we will expand from Longgu Village as the center and purify the area around the village."

Summer was taken aback for a moment.

The materials needed to build the shielding tower are very precious, especially the core components.

The reason why Dragon Bone Village did not build shielding towers indefinitely was because materials were scarce, and most of the reserve materials were used as spare parts to repair existing shielding towers.

"Boss Bai, you've struck it rich?"

Summer asked in confusion.

Bai Yuekui smiled and said, "Have I brought back enough things to the village during this time?"

She is certain that parallel universes truly exist.

Because Mana Ecology hates immortality, it will never help Bai Yuetian replace his prosthetic body.

“That’s right, your father has already gone to the village.” Xia Tianlai looked thoughtful.

Bai Yuekui stood up.

Her body swayed slightly, but she quickly regained her balance.

Xia Tianlai looked worried: "Boss Bai, you should rest for a while longer. The village is peaceful now, and there's nothing that requires your involvement."

Bai Yuekui walked to the window.

Lush plants grow outside the window, and a cool pond is not far away.

A gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of grass and trees, brushing against Bai Yuekui's cheek.

“It’s peaceful, but I have a feeling that a storm is brewing,” Bai Yuekui murmured.

With the signal from the shielding tower restored, Dragonbone Village had once again been tempered by a major battle. The Awakened Ones' mastery of new weapons such as power armor had increased, and their combat effectiveness had greatly improved.

It's a good thing no matter how you look at it.

But there's one exception.
“Mana’s initial body wouldn’t change its magnetic field frequency for no reason. If nothing unexpected happens, this magnetic field change is aimed at Dragonbone Village.”

Bai Yuekui calmly stated, "The next wave of ecological backlash could come at any time, so everyone should remain vigilant."

"Never, ever take the end of the world lightly."

Summer's expression turned serious.

When the disaster struck, humanity in the old world briefly united to fight the ecological crisis, and even members of their own kind returned to help from the stars.

But no matter how much power humanity exerts, the ecosystem will always find a way to prevail.

This is the main cause of human destruction.

Although Dragonbone Village is a little stronger than before, it is still nothing more than a stronger ant in the context of the entire ecosystem.

"The main theme of the apocalypse is always survival." Bai Yuekui leaned against the windowsill.

"Even if we kill all the Devouring Beasts on Earth and clean up every instance of pollution on the land, we cannot consider ourselves to have achieved a complete victory, because the enemy is not even here."

Bai Yuekui raised his head, gazing at the sky with a weary expression.

The enemy is in the vortex.

In a distant dimension that only coincides with Earth once every many years.

Xia Tianlai took a deep breath: "I will communicate with the other officials and have them spread this message throughout the village. No one will let their guard down."

"Mm." Bai Yuekui nodded.

She turned around, sat on the bed, and obediently lay down, closing her eyes and pulling the blanket over herself.

Summer came, and I turned around and went out.

After a while, ASH's voice came from the ceiling: "Yue Kui, Mayor Bai is in grave danger, and only you can save him."

Bai Yuekui opened his eyes silently. The sky collapsed and the earth caved in, sending debris flying everywhere!
Flames raged, and the entire block was transformed into a hellish inferno in the distorted air.

Dozens of hovercraft hovered overhead, indiscriminately unleashing fire at the smoke, large-caliber bullets repeatedly slicing through the ground, turning the hard paving stones into dust.

Bai Jingyu huddled under a robot.

He remained expressionless, seemingly unaffected by the raging dust around him.

"The signal was cut off, so we had no way to actively request help from Hisakawa."

ASH's voice rang in Bai Jingyu's mind: "But the offline distress call program will start automatically. Hisakawa Defense should have sent reinforcements here the moment the signal was cut off."

"We need to hold on for half an hour."

Bai Jingyu nodded slightly.

ASH then changed the subject: "But we underestimated Hru's determination. He's willing to mobilize Hela's troops here, make a big fuss, and turn the entire starship dock into a battlefield, just to capture you."

"In other words, you are more important to him than this interstellar dock."

"Having gone this far, he's determined to have you. If he doesn't manage to catch you in the next few minutes, he'll definitely reveal something bigger to secure his victory."

"The situation is very unfavorable for us."

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
The bullet struck the robot, slightly denting its shell and sending up a long trail of sparks.

"How long can we hold out?" Bai Jingyu asked.

ASH said softly, "If the Starship Dock only has its current firepower, we can hold out for about forty minutes, which is enough to hold out until the reinforcements from Hisakawa Defense are available."

"But if we want to upgrade firepower, we need to analyze the specific situation."

Hisakawa Defense's robots are unparalleled in the world, capable of crushing even the most elite human infantry in ground combat, but they are outnumbered.

Bai Jingyu nodded slightly.

He calmly said, "I will follow your orders. If we really can't hold on any longer, we will take the antimatter back to Jiuchuan and have Yuekui give it to another one of her."

"If Yue Tian and I can see the time-space tunnel, then Yue Kui certainly can too."

ASH fell silent.

The robot grabbed Bai Jingyu and suddenly lunged forward.

Two seconds later, a huge warhead landed. It did not explode, but instead sank into the ground, creating a deep crater in the entire street.

“They want to capture me alive, and that’s our advantage,” Bai Jingyu calmly analyzed.

The robot, carrying Bai Jingyu, took off running.

At this moment, he only had four robots left around him; the other two robots had been destroyed in the fierce battle.

call out!call out!call out!
During its frantic run, the robot occasionally fired shots in all directions.

Bright red blood blossoms shot out from the thick smoke.

Bai Jingyu fought and retreated, eventually entering a luxurious hotel with more than two hundred floors.

The battle broke out suddenly, and there were still many people in the hotel.

ASH had long since taken over the hotel's network, locking everyone in their respective floors and rooms, using them as Bai Jingyu's "hostages."

This is the most luxurious hotel in Starship Dock, with guests from all over the world and a complex web of relationships.

Hela couldn't just kill everyone; she had to check their identities one by one.

Bai Jingyu entered an empty room.

He sat on the sofa, closing his eyes in meditation.

Only one robot accompanied him, while the other three robots, under ASH's control, fought against the Hela garrison that had entered the hotel.

The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the hotel, and chaos reigned in the corridors.

Every now and then, unlucky souls are caught in the crossfire and die on the spot.
