Chapter 974
War in Progress Zhu Wen Unleashing Full Power
Wouldn't that increase the chances of survival?
So am I still me?
If it weren't for me, what difference would there be between me now and being dead?
Zheng Zha didn't voice these thoughts aloud, even though they were all in his mind.
But at this moment, after a series of questions arose, a firm answer was given.
"But what if it's for the people around you?"
"For them, and for me?"
"I know it's not right to say this, but Zheng Zha, I beg you, please don't think about it anymore."
Zheng Zha turned around and looked at Zhan Lan, whose eyes were full of worry.
In his daze, there was more confusion and bewilderment.
A complex mix of emotions swirled within Zheng Zha's mind.
When Zheng Zha saw the sky being divided by streaks of fiery red lines, he was not initially angry.
Because he realized once again how weak and powerless he was.
Previously, he was only worried that Chu Xuan might do something.
But when he truly discovered what Chu Xuan had done, and he himself had no ability to make amends or change it.
Zheng Zha realized that his previous anger was a joke.
He had thought about it.
He even had the urge to kill Chu Xuan outright, wishing he could punch him and send him flying.
He understood war and knew that death was an unavoidable problem.
Not to mention that in this world, humanity is already severely injured because of the existence of Decepticons.
And now, when it is confirmed that even more people on this planet will die because of this plan.
Zheng Zha felt an indescribable sense of guilt and sadness.
Because he believes so.
I had already guessed it and made preparations, but in the end, this still happened.
At that moment, Zheng Zha's sense of guilt reached its peak, a feeling that was hard to describe.
but now……
Zheng Zha suddenly realized a problem.
He had always thought that killing one person was different from killing ten people.
But now he doesn't think that way anymore.
There is no difference between the former and the latter.
If there is no difference, then what is the difference between killing one person and killing a group of people, a thousand people, or ten thousand people?
Zheng Zha subconsciously wanted to refute his own point of view.
Because he was thinking of a group of people, including men, women, young and old.
This group includes harmonious families, loving couples, and children taking care of their parents...
But another voice rang out.
Where is Su Wei?
What about A, B, and C?
They also have parents, and they have achieved academic success.
They just graduated from university; they have a future, and they will get married and have children someday…
So Zheng Zha, stop trapping yourself. Killing is killing!
Death is death.
Killing one person is no different from killing tens of millions.
There is no difference between an ant and a person.
Life is indeed precious, but only consciousness can transcend it.
"...So this is the fourth tier, no, it should be called a demonic inner demon. I never expected my inner demon to have a heart of compassion!"
This was the first time Zheng Zha clearly understood what his inner demons were.
Zheng Zha's murmur was so soft that even Zhan Lan beside him couldn't hear it.
When Zhan Lan looked up, she only saw Zheng Zha chuckle self-deprecatingly.
"I'm fine. In short, it's because I'm not good enough."
"If I had the ability to completely fight against the beings within these metal fortresses, then Chu Xuan wouldn't have needed to do this."
As he spoke, Zheng Zha looked at the indifferent figure who remained motionless:
"No matter what, Chu Xuan, thank you."
"Although I still can't agree with your idea, I will use my own methods to become a qualified captain and protect my teammates."
Zheng Zha said firmly and resolutely.
The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously from afar.
As the other side begins its battle.
From this ill-formed metal city, squads of robots emerged.
They streaked across the sky at extremely high speeds.
Chen Zilong peeked out, looking at the terrain altered by the nuclear explosion and the speeding robots, and couldn't help but mutter:
"So what exactly did Xiao Honglu and his men do?"
"As soon as the nuclear explosion ended, the robots at the AllSpark base rushed out to provide support."
"Has this hit a nerve?"
"Or is it because the casualties from the nuclear bomb were too heavy?"
Li Xiao shook his head: "There are measures here that can withstand nuclear bombs, and the front-line bases must have them too."
"Total annihilation is unlikely."
Chen Zilong nodded.
In fact, it wasn't just Chen Zilong; even Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong were thinking about this issue.
I'm curious about what Xiao Honglu and his group actually did.
It is remarkable that Megatron, even after realizing that all his outposts had been attacked, still dispatched so many robots to support the front lines without hesitation.
-
Outside Base One.
After seeing the hundreds of dangerous figures streak across the sky, Optimus Prime looked back at the high platform behind him:
"Xiao Honglu, aren't the battlefields of both sides too close together?"
"If you use nuclear weapons, even if you can destroy a large number of Decepticon robots, the power of the nuclear explosion will also have a serious impact on the human coalition forces at this distance."
Xiao Honglu raised his hand, and spiritual energy surged from his palm.
"Don't worry, I made preparations three days ago!"
After saying that, the slug in front of Cheng Xiao raised its head and quickly said, "The first batch of targeted nuclear missiles has been successfully launched!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Honglu's spiritual energy surged and enveloped his entire body before he transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly toward the front lines.
At the same time, a voice remained:
"Zhu Wen, get ready!"
"Once I remove the formation, this stage will be yours!"
Standing on the platform, Zhu Wen nodded, holding the pink magic wand that had long since been unsealed.
Then, following Chen Zilong's instructions, I began to adjust my breathing.
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, curious, rushed out and followed Xiao Honglu in the air.
All the way to the very front of the human alliance.
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee then discovered that twelve stone pillars had somehow been erected there.
Each of these stone pillars is twenty meters high and as thick as five or six people could hug.
The stone pillar gleamed with an inconspicuous earthy yellow light.
These twelve stone pillars are each ten meters apart, but they are connected to each other by a brown iron chain as thick as a water bucket.
Upon entering, the two realized...
Beneath each stone pillar is a platform made of earth and stones.
Both the platform and the stone pillars were covered with runes and engravings they did not recognize.
No, that's not all!
Upon hearing Bumblebee's words, Optimus Prime looked over and then realized what was happening.
Somehow, Bumblebee suddenly had a pair of binoculars in his hand.
Following the direction, Optimus Prime's mechanical eyes kept focusing until he could see clearly.
If the twelve stone pillars are considered a group, then there are six such groups in front of the entire human alliance at this moment.
"Leader, what are all these?"
"An altar of primitive savages?"
As Bumblebee asked, he lowered his head to examine the object closely.
A series of scanning beams shot out from Optimus Prime's body.
Then he began to speak:
"This should be a defensive capability, but it lacks both human-generated electricity and the radiant energy of an AllSpark." "It seems to exist in another form!"
And just as the two were talking...
Whether it was Xiao Honglu in the air or Zhu Wen and the others on the platform, they all looked up.
At this moment, Xiao Honglu's hands moved in a series of hand seals, and a solemn spiritual light was injected into the stone pillar beneath him.
Then everyone saw a yellowish-brown beam of light shoot into the sky and reach the horizon.
Bumblebee was so frightened by the beam of light that burst forth in front of him that he took two steps back.
Then I realized...
The light shooting from the twelve stone pillars before them condensed into the largest ball of light in mid-air, and the color of the merged ball became even deeper.
And this was just the beginning; the towering brown beam of light seemed to have triggered a chain reaction.
Two, three, and then after all the formations were activated, six more enormous structures appeared at the forefront of the allied forces.
But that wasn't all. In the end, each beam of light began to deform and extend to both sides, stretching for thousands of meters before the six giant light curtains connected together.
It took about ten seconds.
A brown barrier, tens of thousands of meters in arc, appeared directly in front of the human alliance.
Upon witnessing this scene, excited cheers erupted from the human alliance.
However, along with the cheers came streaks of fiery red light descending from the sky.
Chain bombing involves placing each bomb at its most powerful point against another to maximize its destructive effect.
This type of explosion has never been used in nuclear bombs.
Xiao Honglu, who witnessed this scene from the air, believed that this was the first time and the last.
Nuclear bombs, each no more than a kilometer apart, landed simultaneously.
This also symbolizes the beginning of a war between the two races.
The mechanical coalition, resembling a swarm of ants, did not surrender easily.
After the first round of nuclear explosions.
One after another, giant robots, each nearly a hundred meters tall, charged out at high speed, each topped with a massive shield.
These robots leaped into the air one last time, meeting the second wave of nuclear bombs in mid-air.
The explosions continued.
A sudden gust of wind howled, and the blinding light forced all of humanity to lower their heads.
Only Xiao Honglu, behind the array barrier, stared unblinkingly ahead.
He watched the shockwaves and various mechanical fragments crashing against the array barrier.
Xiao Honglu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
He cannot set up an array capable of withstanding the power of a nuclear explosion at this stage.
Therefore, if the quality is insufficient, the only way to make up for it is with quantity.
That's why they set up six identical defensive formations in a row.
The reason he felt so sorry for her was because, up until now...
Nearly 90% of the resources "robbed" in the last Harry Potter horror movie were used up to create this formation.
However, there's no other way. How can fragile humans confront these Decepticon robots head-on without paying a price?
Then came the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds.
What is saturation bombing? It is using high-powered weapons to repeatedly hit the same area.
At first, some people were excited to count them.
But as the number increased, he lost interest.
All that remained was tension.
I don't know how much time has passed.
When the afterglow of the explosion faded, the sky returned to normal.
Xiao Honglu's voice resounded in the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
"Everyone take the medicine and get ready."
Not a single soldier hesitated upon hearing the order.
Otherwise, when the barrier disappears, the nuclear radiation from the other side will be unbearable for them.
At the same time, Xiao Honglu's voice came to Zhu Wen's side.
The one who had already grasped the wand nodded slightly, then lightly touched the ground with the toes of his feet.
It was an elegant and graceful movement, but it ended with a loud bang.
A sunken pit appeared where Zhu Wen had originally been.
She shot out like a cannonball.
A pair of snow-white wings appeared behind them in mid-air, and their speed increased as they flapped.
In the blink of an eye, his figure had already passed the millions of allied troops lined up in front of him.
This figure, which attracted almost everyone's attention, continued to accelerate after passing through the pale yellow barrier amidst exclamations.
Just when they were about to engage in close combat with those robots
Zhu Wen, in mid-air, gripped the Star Magic Wand with both hands and struck it forward forcefully.
next moment.
The robots that were nearby seemed to hear a soft tapping sound like glass.
A card formed from dazzling light instantly appeared beneath the magic wand.
Zhu Wen, who had unlocked her genetic potential with the help of Dou Dizhu, looked up and said:
"Xiao Honglu's formation, lend it to me!"
As the light on the card faded, a slender, tan figure was revealed.
The card disintegrated, and the figure on it soared into the sky.
In mid-air, Zhu Wen's figure blurred and transformed into a beam of colorful light, merging with the yellowish-brown body.
This also made the figure appear larger and more solid.
The last graceful figure, radiating a soft yellow hue, appeared before the Decepticon machine.
The illusory, yellowish-brown body is several hundred meters tall.
Brown pupils gazed at the strange metal objects not far away:
"The enemy this time?"
Zhu Wen's voice rang out from the air: "Go all out!"
"clear."
The response from the land side was quite straightforward.
The next moment, the indestructible yellow barrier behind them disappeared.
Upon seeing this, the robots that had been hiding beneath the nuclear rubble instantly received the order to attack.
Those beings beneath the mechanical wreckage charged out fearlessly.
As a large number of robots stood up, they began to transform, and many more launched attacks directly.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao and the others in the air were all deeply moved.
Even humans on the ground couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, it's nothing short of a miracle that so many robots could still exist after such a powerful nuclear explosion.
However, when a miracle occurs, it is also accompanied by the arrival of God.
"Look, what is this?"
"Oh my God?"
"That's the goddess from earlier!"
"goddess!"
"It's a goddess!!"
"Praise be to the goddess..."
As more and more people cheered.
At the very front line, where the foundation of the barrier was originally located, a solid figure slowly emerged as the wind and sand subsided.
As for how big this figure is, it can be said that the semi-transparent barrier just now was about the same size as the clothes on this person's body.
The one lying on the side slowly revived as some kind of force intervened.
A major earthquake occurred.
The goddess, whose body was made of sand, stood up. Looking at the robots at her feet, which resembled ants, she slowly waved her hand. (End of Chapter)
