Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 238 Hisakawa? A mere tiny island!
The lighthouse is about to fall.

Mark had this idea.

These offspring came prepared, their bellies filled with acid. Even if they were killed, the splashed acid could damage the dome, causing helium to leak out and the lighthouse to fall.

But if they aren't killed, the dome will only break down faster and more severely.

Not fighting is not an option, and fighting is also not an option.

If this continues, it won't be long before the lighthouse collapses again due to excessive helium leakage, and this time there will be no other emergency measures to prevent it!

The lighthouse will crash onto Beast Mountain.

Those who didn't manage to evacuate from the tower either fell to their deaths or became the feast of the Devouring Beasts.

Mark was extremely anxious.

What's still available now?

There's only one super electromagnetic cannon left, but it's an external weapon and can't be used to evaporate the beasts inside the lighthouse.

sieve--

A robot flew to the gap.

It glanced at the gap, then removed its own shell, placed it on the gap, and aimed it with its right index finger.

The red laser beam rapidly moved along the edge of the outer shell, the blinding light merging the edge of the shell with the dome.

welding!

The weld wasn't very good; after all, the robot's laser wasn't designed for this, but the sound of helium leakage was noticeably weaker.

Mark was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with elation.

If less helium is leaked, the lighthouse might still be able to hold on.

More robots flew down.

One of the robots disassembled its left arm and crawled into the pipe with only its right arm raised.

Click——click——

click-

The friction sound quickly faded away as the robot crawled down the pipe.

A few seconds later, the deep, reassuring sound of an electromagnetic cannon rang out from inside the pipe. After the gunshot stopped, the friction sound from before returned.

Mark immediately realized what had happened.

The robot encountered other offspring inside the pipe and killed them.

Helium is much less dense than air, so damage to the bottom pipe will not cause helium leakage.

Robots flew over the pipes.

“The biomagnetic field inside the pipes is very strong, which interferes with our detection system, making it impossible to determine which pipes contain Devouring Beasts,” said the robot standing next to Mark.

All the robots now form a local area network, sharing the same "brain".

Just then, a loud noise came from the pipe.

Not just one pipe, but almost every pipe was emitting sounds.

[The Hela Empire's First Field Fleet arrived near the coast of Jiuchuan today. At the same time, the Hela Empire's space base, Loki, is rapidly approaching the space orbit above Jiuchuan City and is expected to arrive around 7 PM tonight.]

Mayor Bai Jingyu of Jiuchuan City and Foreign Minister Gu Qing of the Heluo Kingdom are currently negotiating with the Hela Empire. Our reporters will continue to follow up on how the situation develops.

Inside the spacious conference room, all audio and video recording equipment was turned off.

Seated on either side of the table were all the city councilors of Jiuchuan City and the diplomatic team of the Hela Empire, while at one end of the table was Gu Qing, the neutral mediator and foreign minister of the Heluo Kingdom.

"Get out of the waters near Jiuchuan immediately, and go as far away as you can. Jiuchuan City is an independent special zone, and the Hela Empire has no right to interfere!"

"Jiuchuan was able to become an independent special zone only because of the support of Hela. Without Hela, your Jiuchuan would still be a small fishing village. Don't forget your roots!" "You're talking nonsense! Jiuchuan was already a big city before it became a special zone. I grew up in Jiuchuan!"

"Mind your tone, Congressman!"

"Once you get out of Jiuchuan, we'll naturally watch our tone!"

"Kyuchuan is just a tiny, insignificant place. If we, Hela, had any ill intentions, we would have razed you to the ground with railguns long ago. Our troops are stationed here for the peace and freedom of your Kuchuan!"

"."

Negotiations that involve turning off recording equipment are destined to be anything but quiet.

The entire conference room was in an uproar.

The people on either side of the long table rolled up their sleeves, loosened their ties, and spat at each other across the table, practically ready to jump over and straddle the other side to explain physics with their fists.

Bai Jingyu interlaced his fingers, calmly looking at the person sitting opposite him, seemingly oblivious to the arguing around him.

This person was someone he knew.

Jage.

As one of the four pillars of the empire, Jag is in charge of diplomacy and espionage with other countries.

He was the one who came to Jiuchuan last time to investigate and win over Gray, and he is also the one who came to Jiuchuan this time to negotiate the stationing of troops on behalf of the Hela Empire.

We're old friends.

“Lord Jag, we can completely control the situation in Jiuchuan ourselves. It’s not time for the Coastal Alliance to intervene yet. Moreover, the Coastal Alliance has not issued any notice to allow the Hela Empire to station troops in Jiuchuan,” Bai Jingyu said slowly.

“Mayor Bai.” Jag said with a nonchalant expression.

He said slowly, "Giant vines are breaking through the ground all over the world, and a global geological disaster is brewing. Hisakawa City was the first to encounter giant vines and even killed a giant monster. It has irreplaceable research and protection value."

Geological disasters are escalating globally.

At first, the scientific community couldn't figure out what caused the unusually high frequency of earthquakes, and could only speculate that it was due to solar activity, geological cycles, or geocentric movements.
Not long ago, giant vines broke through the ground in Hisakawa City and caused a major earthquake.

This giant vine was just the beginning; giant vines subsequently sprouted in other places, and those vines also caused significant earthquakes.

A new hypothesis has emerged in the scientific community.

Perhaps the root cause of the high frequency of geological disasters worldwide is the movement of these giant vines underground.

Taking advantage of this, the Hela Empire launched an attack on Hisakawa, intending to station troops there under the guise of research and protection.

"Jiuchuan has been very turbulent recently. As a member of the Coastal Alliance, the Hela Empire is deeply concerned about this and is willing to station troops free of charge to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Jiuchuan. If Mayor Bai truly cares about the citizens of Jiuchuan, he should not refuse."

"That's what Jag said hypocritically."

His face showed no sincerity, and he wasn't even willing to put on a show. He just recited his dry, uninspired speech, his words devoid of any emotion.

Negotiation is pointless.

If negotiations were meaningful, we wouldn't be sitting at the negotiating table today. The only entities truly capable of making the final decision are the fleet and the space base.

As long as the magnificent fleet enters the waters near Hisakawa, and as long as the space base laden with bombs flies into Hisakawa's space orbit, then no matter how strong Hisakawa City's objections are, they will be insignificant to Hela.

Hisukawa——

A hint of mockery flashed in Jaeger's eyes.

The Empire gives you face because you are the ASH Internet Experimental Zone; if the Empire doesn't give you face, it can slap you back to your original form.

What's the use of a tiny place having advanced technology and a thriving economy?

He's just a fat pig in a pen.

They'll slaughter it during the Chinese New Year.
