Author: The dark dust disperses

"Damn..." Bazaar cursed, and took several steps back, but turned around and found that there were pale roots spreading behind him.

"We can't stay here anymore!" Noir said, "We have to leave here immediately!"

"Escape... Escape quickly! Let's run quickly!" Even Uric, who was not very sane, was so impatient that he kept spinning around in the same place.

"Then you are leading the way!" Zao glared at Uric, "If you don't lead the way, let us wander around in the underground maze. I guess we died faster than hitting these ghosts!"

"I...I don't know where to go..." As if I wanted to pull the hair that didn't exist, Urich's sharp nails scratched the scalp with blood marks, "No place is safe

The danger...fear...it's everywhere!"

"You mean, the entire underground maze is occupied by these roots?" Noir raised his eyebrows, "Where is the nearest exit to the ground? Take us here!"

"I don't know...I don't know!!" Uriqi roared. He seemed to have lost the ability to detect road conditions. It was also possible that the extremely heavy sense of fear had suppressed him so that he could not calm down and search.

Way out.

"He doesn't need to lead the way," said the clown suddenly. "You haven't noticed that since these roots invaded the underground maze, the entire maze has begun to stop operating?"

"It seems that it is still true!" Zao was slightly stunned, and then immediately said to Noir and Uric, "Why are you still standing there? Go away quickly! Go to the ground first!"

...

Fortress Mukah, General Macino's office.

"What should we do now? If we want to destroy this giant tree, we can only attack its roots, but its roots are hidden inside the ark and protected by the energy shield. This problem revolves around...

…” Magino said in entanglement, the fat on his face had been squeezed into a ball, especially at the center of his eyebrows, several layers of loose skin stacked up, sweat slid down the folds, dripping on his raised

On the belly.

"To put it bluntly, our strategic goals have not changed from the beginning." The hound stared at the projection screen, bent his fingers slightly, and gently tapped on the back of the sofa rhythmically, "Whether it is to solve the problem of the Immortal Crew.

And the erosioner, or blow up this damn tree, we must all attack the inside of the ark. Ha, everything has returned to the origin."

"No, the situation is completely different." Levi shook his head, "Even if we successfully attacked the Ark, we have no means to destroy this giant tree... If this alien star is as described by Mr. Ke Lan,

The vitality of plants is probably far more tenacious than we imagined. It is possible to destroy even if it is detonated at the root system by relying solely on the total equivalent of nuclear warheads we have."

"Annihilation bomb... Alphas used the Annihilation bomb to destroy the Crown of Ashes." The Hound murmured, "But we have no place to get the Annihilation bomb... Wait, I have an idea!"

"What's the idea?" Magino and Levi's attention was immediately attracted by the hound.

"Absolutely, is this thing annihilation bomb essentially releasing the antimatter that was originally bound by a gravitational field... In short, I don't know much about this knowledge. Just tell me, if you give you enough antimatter, you

Can you create an annihilation bomb? It doesn’t need to be too precise. As long as it can be detonated smoothly, it’s powerful enough when it explodes!" The hunting dog said quickly.

Ke Lan looked at Ze Luo.

The Sanwu Girl nodded gently: "Theoretically, it is OK. It is just that with the existing technology of human civilization, it is impossible to create a container for storing antimatter, so it cannot create a portable annihilation bomb like the Alpha civilization."

"But," Zeluo changed his tone, "My space manipulation ability can create such a container. As long as antimatter can be found, I can take it to the roots of the giant tree and then detonate it."

Ze Luo finished speaking this sentence, and the four words "human bomb" appeared in the heads of the big men here... Let such a beautiful girl who cannot be described in words act as a human bomb,

Macino and Levi couldn't help but feel a hint of unbearableness in their eyes. The latter's lips squirmed a few times, but they didn't speak in the end.

"If you detonate those antimatters, you...you should be able to escape alive, right?" asked Magino.

Both of them know that Ze Luo has strong abilities, but the annihilation bomb is not an ordinary thing. The energy released when positive matter and antimatter interact can almost destroy everything... The space barrier can support pure antimatter, but when there is positive

When the substance is mixed into it and begins to "react", even the space barrier may not be able to block it.

This is like a bottle of soda. It is very stable when placed in the bottle. The soda itself will not have any destructive effects on the bottle. But if you throw a few "Mentos" mints into it and shake it hard for a few more times...

Then the situation is completely different.

"Fatty, why do you still learn to worry about the safety of others? I remember you used to be the kind of person who used all means to achieve your goals." The Hound looked at him with a strange look, "Do you still remember the blocking battle in the 963 Highlands?

?At that time, you left a whole battalion and cut off the rear. They fought until there was only the last person left and did not receive your order to retreat. Although you were trying to ensure the safety of the baggage force, if I change it

It’s the battalion commander of that battalion. Even if I become a ghost, I will come back to find you and then kill you.”

"That's just an exercise! An exercise!" Magino said angrily, "You know, before being transferred here, I had no practical experience at all! The exercise is just a game of chess for me, and you will play chess when you play chess

Do you give up the winning or losing of the whole game because you care about the life and death of individual pieces?”

"The current situation is not a game of chess?" Ke Lan sighed in a low voice, "Everyone here is the chess piece in the game, no one can jump out of this chessboard... If so, I really want to draw the current one

The chess player sitting next to the board slapped twice."

After saying this, Ke Lan turned to look at Ze Luo again and said, "If this is the only way to break the deadlock, then we have no choice."

Everyone seemed to see Ze Luo smiled, but it seemed to be just an illusion. Ze Luo still maintained the expressionless iceberg appearance. She turned her head and looked at Ke Lan and said, "I'm talking about Chinese chess in a book.

I saw a saying in the book, 'There are advances and no retreats, and there is death and no life'."

"But there is another old saying in China, called 'put it on death and then live'." Ke Lan said, "The choice is up to you, you can go or not."

"Go." Zeluo nodded.

"But there is still a question in front of us. Where do we want to find so many antimatters to make this 'annihilation bomb'?" Magino said with a frown.

"Antima, there are ready-made ones." The Hound and Ke Lan looked at each other, then snapped their fingers, "Chief of Staff, please mark all the proven and well-preserved "Death Light Cannon" on the map

.”

When they came out of the glacier ruins, the warship carrying them was hit by a dead light cannon, which made the Hound and others still remember it fresh... But later they realized that it was just a "pre-aim" mode of the dead light cannon and it was not real at all.

fire.

The true power of the Death Cannon with antimatter as the shell is far above that one cannon.

In fact, that shot is just used to lock the target - just like a laser sight hanging on a firearm. Before the gunman pulled the trigger and the bullet was not released, the temperature released by the laser sight was already

It was like burning the target paper.

More than a dozen red dots were marked on the global map of Alpha Star. As an important part of the "planetary defense system" of the Alpha civilization, there are more than 600 dead light cannons, covering every corner of Alpha Star, and even

The bases of the Death Light Cannon were built on the islands of the Central Sea, the sea platforms and the ice caps of the Extreme Sea.

However, until the Alpha civilization disappeared, the defense system was not fully built. Among the more than 600 bases, less than a hundred were equipped with the body of the dead light cannon, and most of them were damaged and well preserved.

The light cannon, including the one that Ke Lan and the others "experienced", now only the last seventeen are left.

"These dead light cannons should still be able to fire, but it is impossible to determine how much antimatter remaining stored inside..." Levi said.

To determine the antimatter margin in the dead light cannon, you must dismantle the core components of the cannon. For the Ark civilization that does not master space technology, this is undoubtedly a very dangerous task... No, it is dangerous.

To be light, to be precise, this is a matter of seeking death.

Once a research institute's research team tried to dismantle a dead light cannon in the wilderness, but the project team was gone and the dead light cannon was gone. And there were too many in the place where it was originally a dead light cannon.

A very regular hemispherical pit with a depth of two thousand meters and a radius of two thousand meters.

According to the later estimates of the institute, the antimatter margin in the death cannon should be considered very small, otherwise, even a military base fifteen kilometers away would not be able to survive.

"Then the mission is divided into two parts now." Ke Lan turned around and said to everyone, "I took Ze Luo to the death light cannons in various locations to collect the remaining antimatter. The others were trying to tear open the defense gap of the ark and create a

A passage where Zeluo can enter."

This sentence sounds light and light, but in fact it is so difficult that everyone here knows... None of the reconnaissance team sent to the Ark before has come back, not only the energy shield outside the Ark is difficult to break through

, Inside the ark, there may be murderous intent everywhere at this time.

"We will do our best." Magino gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Even if you use corpses to lay them, you must lay out this passage!"

Levi wanted to say something, but the headphones he was wearing suddenly heard something, which changed his expression several times.

"What's wrong with you, Levi?" Magino immediately noticed the expression of his very new subordinate and asked, "Is there any bad news coming back from the Frontier Observation Post?"

"I...I don't know if the news is good or bad..." Levi shook his head. He first looked at Magino, and then focused his attention on Ke Lan, "The Frontier Observation Sent

When we arrived at a cipher text, it was transmitted from the Ark, using the secret frequency bands inside us.”

"What is the content of the ciphertext?" The hound jumped up from the sofa in an instant and asked with an excited expression, almost rushing up and grabbing Levi's collar and asking.

"It cannot...it cannot be interpreted." Levi said in a difficult face, "Our intelligence department has been busy for half an hour but has not been able to crack this ciphertext...its encryption method is not anything we already know...

…”

"Damn, what you mean is that Frontier Observation Post received this cipher text from the Ark half an hour ago? Then why not report it? If you find that you can't decipher it, you should report it immediately. Those idiots in the intelligence department, even this truth

Don't you understand?" The hound cursed in anger.

"Send me the cipher text." Ke Lan was not as angry as a hunting dog. He sat down on the sofa and moved the laptop on the coffee table to his knees.

The content of the cipher text was quickly posted to Ke Lan's computer. Ke Lan hesitated for a few seconds and then quickly typing on the keyboard with his ten fingers.

In less than five minutes, the content of the cipher text was cracked... It was a picture, a picture full of strange characters.

"This is... the text of Alpha civilization?!" The hound took a look and immediately shouted.

"What is the content?" Magino stared at Ke Lan with a bright look. Among everyone present, Ke Lan had the ability to interpret the Alpha civilized texts.

"It's a warning, or a reminder," Ke Lan said, "I was told that the roots of the giant tree have begun to spread. It will penetrate the bottom of the ark in twelve hours and drill into the earth of Alpha Star.

By then, the giant tree will merge with the entire alpha star. If you want to destroy it, the only way is to destroy the entire alpha star."

"What this person means is that we only have the last twelve hours left?" The hound was stunned, and then punched it hard on the sofa cushion, "Damn it, I almost forgot that I was wasted by those buckets of rice.

After half an hour, the time left for us now should be eleven and half an hour."

"Is this... an ultimatum?" Murchino murmured, "Is this the Immortal Crew proclaiming victory to us in advance?"

"No, this news should have been sent by our own people." Ke Lan shook her head, "On the ark, there are also our friendly forces."
