966. The doomsday countdown is still left until the planet is destroyed
Just like when a game reaches a bottleneck and suddenly opens a new copy of a limited-time event, it will always be an unbridled carnival party at the beginning.
The mission, which most people call [rift invasion] for the time being, quickly swept through the idlers of the Death Courtyard because of the high rewards and the scoring competition mode with real-time feedback and contribution points.
Coupled with the live video of the start of the Rift invasion that was circulated on the Magic Network, most people felt that the monsters serving as the "vanguard" were actually not very strong. They seemed stubborn because they had too strong recovery and reproductive abilities.
These two points are very easy to address as long as the methods are correct.
For example: large-scale destructive strikes such as incineration; unlimited explosions of troops due to technological testing; highly polluting curse erosion on the magic side...
Most of the veterans who have been on the Hongjie Ark for more than ten years have some weapons, scrolls, and secret techniques that are extremely low-cost and extremely effective, but are rarely used due to "humanistic ethics (natural will backlash)" issues.
.
After all, everyone is a good person at heart.
…
On the first day, it was about two hours after the space-time rift appeared.
The first group of advance adventurers (speculators) with strange items such as phlogiston bombs + drones, fire scrolls + skeleton soldiers, lag air lines + tree diagram designers, etc. soon set off.
There were a total of more than twenty people from various fields, divided into several groups, led by Mr. Zhanshen, who was suspected to be the on-site spokesperson of Lord Crimson Blade on this incident (but he himself did not admit it directly). After being fully prepared,
Just stepped through that ferocious rift in time and space.
However, even the well-informed Ark crew members felt a chill creep up their spines when they first saw the monster army that grew out of the desolate land and spread densely to the other side of the horizon before disappearing into the city and county.
.
In the world here, it is getting dark and the sun is halfway up, the temperature is high and the air is dry.
But regardless of anything else, everyone could hear the screams and screams rising and falling all around them just as they stood firm.
The army of grey-green monsters beat toward the rift in time and space like waves——
"I will come..."
After whispering silently in his heart, Zhan Shen first swung the powerful blow of the "Invincible Sword" and cleared an open space that could accommodate a thousand people to temporarily camp.
With one blow, everything from the gray-green squirming monsters to the rugged ground was cleared away, and everything suddenly became clear.
[Tip: Clear 62938 enemy units, contribution +62938]
Afterwards, the combined force of the barrier set up an illusion barrier. The defense was not that powerful, but it was short-lived, long-lasting, and capable of driving away "beasts" with insufficient intelligence and rationality.
——In this way, the boundary group can collect the camp rental and boundary maintenance fees from the groups arriving later.
and……
[Tip: Establish camp boundaries to save our own manpower and indirectly reduce the enemy's manpower, contribution +1000]
Because the person who calculates the contribution is not a rigid machine, but the mission guarantor Meteora himself, the increase or decrease in the contribution is more flexible, objective and convincing.
Next, after ensuring a foothold, the detection team began to arrange altar divination on the spot, activate large-scale detection magic, assist in launching satellites into the sky, deploy a large number of microscopic reconnaissance machines, and other means to further collect intelligence on this world.
——In this way, by packaging and selling this information to follow-up teams, even non-professional combatants can earn profits from this activity.
Until the end, the members of the martial arts faction were armed with various weapons and with eager bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, ready to kill...
But at this moment, a little girl with a crystal ball in the front of her cane and wrapped in a silver robe - a girl who seemed to be a "divineer" by profession suddenly exclaimed in slight fear:
"Hey, this is...who is it, the barrier team, the ground! Quickly add a layer of defense on the ground, preferably a solid foundation!~"
After saying that, the girl spread out a pair of wings made of stars behind her back without hesitation and flew into the sky.
However, perhaps because this exclamation came suddenly, the person who made the exclamation did not have much prestige, and there was no cause, effect or detailed explanation in the words, so most people did not realize what was going on.
Only some people who were cautious and had special abilities in intuition and perception reached towards the soles of their feet, and then their expressions all changed.
It's just that she didn't fly into the air in a hurry like the fortune teller girl.
Among them, Zhan Shen was the most decisive. He directly drew his sword and jumped up high, slashing towards the ground with all his strength from mid-air without any hesitation.
In an instant, the large floor was split into two, and the invincible sword cut out a "gully" thousands of meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide without even a chance to stir up smoke and dust.
But the scene inside the ravine is so mind-numbing——
If the earth were compared to cheese or fruit, the act of cutting it open just now by Zhan Shen showed to the crew of the Ark that it was like an ant nest that had been eaten away by a large number of squirming gray-green tentacle monsters.
On the side wall of the ravine, among the densely packed small holes from a distance, one or half of a long gray-green monster was poking its head out of the hole because it was disturbed from its sleep.
[Tip: Clear 36760 enemy units, contribution +36760]
"Oh, this is really bad. The entire ground might be unusable..."
A middle-aged man who had just prepared to rent the prepared camp to others looked at the worms in the ground and said in a disgusting tone.
Not only because a business went bankrupt, but also because of this situation, he mentally decided that he would never see triangular cheese again for three years.
Then at this moment, a short-haired and capable lady wearing a white coat, wearing imaging glasses, and operating an unknown machine in her hand raised her head and asked Zhan Shen in mid-air:
"Ahem, Mr. Zhanshen! Now we can temporarily determine the scope of this planet's northern hemisphere, and there are life reactions similar to monsters at a depth of about three thousand meters in the earth's crust. Should we consider changing the way we develop camps?"
Zhanshen didn't hesitate, but he didn't make a decision either. He just replied gently:
"Personally, I don't want to stand on the ground where monsters will suddenly appear...
But for the issue of camp construction direction, someone can pass the information back first and let people with similar abilities and expertise solve it.
Our temporary mission goal remains unchanged, that is—"
Speaking of this, Zhanshen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and his voice became firm:
"Everyone shows off his skills, cleans up a clean space, and accepts the contributions from subsequent friends."
After Zhan Shen finished speaking, he directly controlled the wind element and flew out of the illusion barrier.
"Oh!——~"
"Are we finally going to get down to business..."
"Ahem, me too, I like to go to the dungeon alone."
"I go first……"
Immediately afterwards, some of the people who changed jobs and fought were chatting and laughing, and went hunting in groups of twos and threes, or alone, in a direction of their choice.
Not long after, there was a loud noise all around, and a large area of flames could be seen from a distance, dyeing the sky red...
Most of the remaining support staff shook their heads helplessly and laughed dumbly.
Their work cannot be as simple as those reckless men. Terrain detection and camp construction must be coordinated by both parties.
However, they were all glad that no outsiders were arbitrarily directing their plans.
Mr. Zhanshen obviously knows that in the early stages of such a large-scale operation, combatants are basically positioned as "bodyguards" for the logistics infrastructure.
The short-haired lady who suggested changing the subsequent camp plans turned to the middle-aged man who just lamented that the camp’s rent collection plan had failed.
Seeing that he was obviously dressed like a scientific testing engineer, he said politely:
"I can provide precise information on terrain, climate, and monster locations."
——What she displayed on the tablet in her hand was a series of autonomous machine legions such as space transfer satellites, ghost drones, subspace radars, etc.
"I plan to lay a strong metal skeleton foundation around the crack, and plan to hollow out the surrounding area to build an all-metal airport." The middle-aged man said with a smile, obviously not planning to give up his ambition to collect rent.
——He stretched out his hand and used the virtual projection on his watch to show the lady in the white coat a bunch of product data with names like base vehicles, material printers, element converters, etc.
"Preliminary agreement, split accounts between 30 and 70."
"make a deal."
It took three seconds for both parties to reach a consensus.
At this time, a little girl who looked like a fortune teller in silver robes and flew into the sky early was hanging in the air and intervened in their conversation:
"Well, I can predict the direction of future misfortune and avoid all possible risks in advance. I also want to invest in it."
"Oh? This is a good ability. I am willing to share 10% of your income." The middle-aged man thought for a while and replied with great interest.
"good."
With a good start like three people, several members around who had their own ideas and did not plan to go to the frontal battlefield also started taking action.
With distant flames and earthquakes as the background picture——
Someone decided to go back and pass on information and ask friends for help.
Someone cast a spell to transform into a strange elemental life and escaped towards the underground world.
