Chapter 350: Flame Rat
The power plant has its own plant protection team.
After several inexplicable burning and explosion accidents, the Red Dragon Army also dispatched a special operations team to the power plant.
This is Beishan District in the north of the city, and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau also has a district-level action team stationed here.
Three teams of people searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but found nothing.
Meng Chao was still feeling uneasy and had a vague premonition of something ominous.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, a mysterious thick fog rippled from the sky, emitting faint blue and red light, and gradually connected with the dark clouds hanging low in the night sky, like a swirling cloud.
Accompanied by bursts of piercing screams, the night sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands. From the southeast, northwest, and in all directions of the city, there were huge tentacles dragging, shining like a mixture of octopus and jellyfish.
The "eyeball" staggered out from the crack.
Sky-Splitting Magic Eye, the vanguard of the monster invasion.
It does not have very strong combat power, but it can release sharp mental attacks, bombarding the human cerebral cortex, causing the human mind index to plummet, and being swallowed by fear and confusion.
When the fog has fallen in recent times, the number of Sky-Splitting Demonic Eyes has increased.
There are so many that it makes people feel that there is some mysterious force behind it.
Moreover, the Sky-Splitting Demonic Eye is evolving.
Not only has there been a mutant "Death Angler" with extremely strong tentacles that can shoot down tentacles from a hundred meters high and directly sweep humans away.
There are also a large number of new varieties that can interfere with human networks and cut off information fiber optic cables and wireless communications.
Monsterologists call this variant the "Eye of Chaos."
It means that once they appear on the battlefield, they will implement full-band jamming and block all communications between the enemy and ourselves.
For humans who are well-organized and good at coordinated operations, this is naturally a huge trouble.
Meng Chaozhuo stood on the commanding heights of the power plant, on top of a cooling tower that sprayed water vapor like a volcanic eruption, overlooking the colorful night sky emitted by the Sky-Splitting Magic Eye.
Under the nightmare-like night sky, short-distance space portals have been opened, and monsters appear in droves in the streets of Dragon City. Even the most common monsters, such as the sword-halberd demon pig and the armored rhinoceros,
They are much larger and more deformed than when the mist came when Meng Chao was just reborn.
Their eyes were red, they were foaming at the mouth, and their muscles were twisted due to excessive tension. Driven by their killing instinct, they began to attack human fortress-like communities and high-rise buildings.
"Da da da da!"
The anti-aircraft artillery positions all over the city began to speak, and under the guidance of tracer bullets, fiery snakes rose into the sky, converging into huge waves of destruction, and rolled towards hundreds of Sky-Splitting Demonic Eyes.
Some Sky-Splitting Demonic Eyes were entangled by fiery snakes and were riddled with holes in an instant. They screamed like balloons bursting, waving their tentacles and dancing wildly in the night sky. This strange scene was simply worse than the spiritual attack they released.
, it can even make people’s scalp numb and frightened.
More Sky-Splitting Demonic Eyes released strange force fields all around them, changing the trajectory of the bullets, causing them to miss them narrowly.
Both humans and monsters are learning war.
At the same time that humans have developed advanced combat modes for monsters such as "Extreme Flow", monsters are also evolving and are becoming less and less afraid of human bullets - at least long-distance attacks by ordinary bullets.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Fortunately, humans still have rocket launchers.
Some soldiers who were ambushing high-rise buildings and carrying heat-seeking shoulder-mounted rocket launchers had already locked onto their prey. When the Sky-Splitting Magic Eye dropped to a height of less than 100 meters, the soldiers calmly pulled the triggers.
In order to avoid being attacked by the spiritual attack of the Sky-Splitting Demonic Eye, the soldiers closed their eyes at the moment of shooting.
But rockets with thermal energy tracking can still find their targets accurately.
This time, the interference force field did not have much effect, and all the Sky-Splitting Demonic Eyes turned into gorgeous fireworks.
Under the shining of fireworks, more space was torn apart, and more Void Demonic Eyes emerged.
For a time, there were hundreds of communities and hundreds of high-rise buildings in the city, and they were all attacked by monsters at the same time.
The barbed wire fence passed through high-voltage electricity "crackled" and sparkled with extremely dazzling electric sparks.
The searchlights illuminate the community battlefield as brightly as daylight, making it impossible for any monster with "mimicry" and "invisibility" abilities to hide.
The electromagnetic tower released a stream of shining arcs, like an unstoppable sword, splitting open and scorching the monster with its claws and fangs.
An impenetrable fortress requires a large amount of electrical energy to support it.
The five major power plants in Longcheng have all entered overload operation.
After an hour of fierce fighting, there was still no movement at the waste-to-energy power plant in the north of the city. Except for the temporary paralysis of two units due to long-term overload operation, there were no obvious signs of arson or explosion.
"Is it possible that the monster is not lurking here?" Lu Siya asked Meng Chao on the communication channel.
"have no idea."
Meng Chao shook his head, still staring at the night sky unblinkingly, and murmured, "The Meteorological Bureau said that the fog will last for a long time this time. Maybe the battle will last from late night to dawn. If I were a monster, what would happen if I were a monster?"
If you have excellent wisdom, you will not choose to take action now.
"Wouldn't it be better to wait until before dawn, when the power plant has been overloaded all night, when the human spirit is the most exhausted and when the defenses are the weakest?"
Meng Chao sat cross-legged on the chimney and entered a deep state of meditation.
Having broken through the three-star spirit gathering realm and awakened a large number of memory fragments from his past life, he was able to face the war-torn Dragon City with an absolutely calm attitude.
Even if the Sky-Splitting Demonic Eye lets out a piercing scream and releases one after another a stormy wave of mental attacks, it cannot disturb him in the slightest.
He even consciously expanded his life magnetic field, sensed the life magnetic field of monsters, and tried to find the secret of how hundreds of different races of monsters could cooperate in combat.
Time passed minute by minute.
The monster's offensive shows no signs of weakening.
Even steel groups near waste-to-energy plants are under increasing pressure.
The Red Dragon Army special forces stationed here and some of the plant protection teams suddenly gathered together and rushed out of the waste-to-energy plant.
"what happened?"
Meng Chao opened his eyes suddenly and asked Lu Siya on the communication channel, "Where are they going?"
"The Steel Group was attacked by a large number of monsters. There seemed to be dozens of nightmare beasts and several hell beasts mixed inside. The steel plant's protective team could no longer resist it, so they rushed to reinforce it!"
Lu Siya shouted, "I know what you are worried about, but if the Iron and Steel Group's defense line cannot be defended and monsters take advantage of the situation to break through here, the power plant will still be destroyed!"
"Where's Team Leader Ye?"
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "There are always more experts in the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, right?"
"The news half a minute ago is that mysterious explosions occurred at two power plants in the city and in the south of the city at the same time. It is suspected that strange animals are infested."
Lu Siya said, "Team Leader Ye and the Nine Teams rushed to 'put out the fire'."
Meng Chao spat.
Suddenly calmed down.
His nostrils twitched, he took a deep breath and said, "Did you smell anything? It seems like some kind of... greasy flammable substance."
"have."
Lu Siya said, "And there are a lot of them. They are coming up from the depths of the ground along the pipes."
That's a mouse.
Just as part of the defense force guarding the power plant was deployed to the defense line of the ambushed Steel Group, thousands of rats suddenly emerged from the ground of the power plant.
These rats were unlike any rat monster Meng Chao had ever seen.
They are greasy, round, with thin and short arms and legs, and their movements are extremely clumsy. Not to mention Meng Chao, any well-trained shooter of the Red Dragon Army can easily hit them.
But after being shot by bullets, they often do not die instantly. Instead, because the flammable material filling their bellies comes into contact with the air, they "breathe" and turn into blazing fireballs.
Stimulated by the burning flames and extreme pain, the speed of the originally slow-moving mouse will increase by several levels. While running around, it will also spread the flames to the maximum extent.
For a time, accompanied by "crackling" gunshots, hundreds of fireballs screamed and ran around in the power plant, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Fortunately, foreseeing the risk of fire and explosion, the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau contacted the fire department and arranged an elite firefighting force here in advance.
Among them are several experts who are good at heat energy transmission.
In fact, among the engineers of the power plant, there are many extraordinary people who are good at constructing spiritual magnetic fields, converting chemical energy into electrical energy, or converting electrical energy into thermal energy.
"puff!"
More than a dozen fire trucks lined up in a row, spraying dragon-like water jets towards the densest area of the flame rats, blasting away hundreds of blazing flame rats.
The engineers of the power plant were mumbling words beside them. The spiritual patterns spread from the center of their eyebrows to their fingertips. Their ten fingers turned into two clouds of gray mist, constructing exquisite spiritual magnetic fields that turned the water droplets blasted by the fire truck into a cloud.
Crystal clear ice crystals.
The ground suddenly froze, and the limbs of many flame rats were frozen to the ground. Even though their bodies were covered in grease, they were still burning crazily, but they were unable to take even half a step.
Gradually, the ice crystals turned into ice cones, and the ice cones condensed into ice walls. The ice walls surrounded them into a small ice valley, trapping most of the flame rats inside.
The flame rats struggled desperately to climb out of the ice valley, but even if they were lucky enough to succeed, most of the flames around them were extinguished. They were also burned to death and were dying. How could they have the strength to continue attacking the vital points of the power plant?
Not to mention, there is Lu Siya hovering in mid-air to sweep the formation.
After communicating and sparring with Meng Chao for more than half a year, she has gradually transformed from an assist-type extraordinary person to a combat-type extraordinary person, and has practiced the "Earth Stab Technique" to the level of proficiency.
