Chapter 128 Continental-level "Rumbling" (4.6K)

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this news.

What on earth is this guy talking about? That's no joke!

This is the first reaction of most people.

After all, since the establishment of the super defense line, the Mo Clan civilization has cleared out all the monsters in the south and is also expanding vigorously to the north.

Not long ago, we contacted the Supreme Command in the North, and they reported that they were safe. How could they have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Explain yourself clearly!" A high-ranking officer grabbed the pilot by the collar. "How exactly did the Supreme Command's super fortress disappear? Why did all the northern city fortresses fall in an instant?"

The other person's expression was even more desperate than his.

"Level 5 monsters! Several Level 5 monsters have appeared in the north!"

The scene fell silent instantly.

The high-ranking officers of the defense line looked at each other, their faces more grim than if they were dead.

The existing level 4 monsters are extremely troublesome and terrifying, and each time they are dealt with, they suffer huge casualties and are not easy to defeat.

Now they've even got level 5 monsters? And there are several of them!

How can we possibly fight this war?

For Li Xin, who was listening in, his mood was like a rollercoaster: first he thought the Mo Clan civilization on the desert continent was doomed, then the super defense line gave him a boost, and now it was in a terrible state of defeat.

Initially, the high command of the defense line had doubts about what the messenger said.

But what happened in the next few days directly confirmed their claims.

Tens of thousands of Mo people fled south to seek refuge, and forces from all sides flocked to them, forming a vast and imposing procession.

Interspersed among them are many mobile cities representing human civilization.

Seeing this, the Mo people in the south gradually felt a sense of unease.

The north has fallen, and monsters are marching south on a large scale; this is probably true.

Left with no other option, the high command of the defense line began to gather the civilians who had fled south on a large scale, and assembled the land combat vehicles, mechs, fighter jets and other troops that had escaped, and began full-scale preparations for war.

The once vibrant and promising south suddenly became gloomy and oppressive, with dark clouds looming over the city.

Even by the worst-case scenario, it would mean that all the remaining hundreds of thousands of monsters on the continent would come crashing down on us at once.

The pressure on the defense line at that time will be like a land tsunami.

But the Mo Clan felt the situation couldn't be that bad. They believed the monsters were attacking in waves, and the super defense line had assembled thousands of mechs, not to mention countless ground troops and fighter jets.

In addition, with the city fortress serving as a maintenance and logistics hub, ammunition resupply center, and fire support facility, it should be able to withstand the attack.

As preparations proceeded in earnest, the days passed by one by one.

A week later, the first batch of monsters came from the south.

They number in the tens of thousands, the vast majority being level 1 monsters, supplemented by hordes of level 2 monsters, and a few scattered level 3 monsters.

A monster of the highest rank.

Under the tense gaze of the Mo people, the monsters surged forth like a tide, launching an attack on the entire defensive line.

The Mo tribe civilization relied on its defenses to quickly launch an offensive.

The Red Army concentrated its firepower in groups of 30, while the Marine Corps fired artillery and missiles in unison. Fighter jets took off and swooped down to bombard the city, and the city fortresses also unleashed their full firepower.

The latest eighth-generation combat mech, "Hunter," displayed its formidable power, remaining in a safe rear area and using its ion cannon to pick off monsters one by one. This long-range sniper weapon was extremely powerful; monsters hit by it basically exploded like watermelons, their corpses scattered all over the ground.

Faced with the surging tide of monsters, the high command of the defense line still adopted the mech swarm tactic.

The nuclear storm, with its strongest defense and most powerful momentum, and the bronze forgers, in large groups, crashed directly into the monster horde. The former wielded heavy alloy fists, frantically blasting monsters along the way, while the latter wielded heavy alloy melee weapons, splitting monster bodies with lightning speed.

The six-legged dragons, arranged in groups of three, back-to-back in a triangular formation, frantically hacked and slashed through the monster horde. Looking at them, they resembled a trinity, their eighteen arms wielding weapons like a relentless downpour, cleaving the attacking monsters to pieces.

As for the countless and most troublesome Level 2 monster horde, the commander directly dispatched several Nuclear Storms for a self-destruct offensive. The latter charged into the monster horde at full speed and detonated themselves, with flashes of nuclear explosions appearing one after another.

The monsters' attacks were equally fierce.

The electromagnetic lizards released electromagnetic pulses in swarms, causing mechs, land vehicles, and fighter jets in a large area to instantly lose control and come to a standstill.

One after another, fighter jets crashed out of control, while mechs and land vehicles remained paralyzed and motionless, helplessly being overwhelmed by the monsters.

This time, monsters also appeared in the sky.

Level 3 monster "Pteranodon".

As its name suggests, it resembles a pterosaur hundreds of meters long, its wingspan obscuring the sky and its flight speed is extremely fast.

o

These pterosaur monsters harassed and pursued the fighter jets in the air, occasionally swooping down to pounce on and tear apart the mechs. One of the larger pterosaur monsters even used its powerful legs to grab a mech, fly it into the air, and then drop it back down.

The arrival of these aerial monsters instantly put immense pressure on the defensive line.

Even more chilling is that some pterosaurs would grab the acid and fly straight to the city fortress to drop it.

This caused incredibly terrible consequences.

The acid monster, acting as a bomb, "detonated" inside the city fortress upon landing.

In an instant, a massive amount of acid splashed out, completely corroding the interior of the city fortress.

At the request of the Inklings, the Starfire and a host of mobile cities from human civilizations also began to support the battlefield.

However, instead of venturing into the battlefield to fight the monsters, they remained in a safe location and fired remotely.

Although the scene was extremely thrilling, the Ink Clan managed to withstand the monsters' attack by using the mech swarm tactic, and even showed signs of pushing back!

Those troublesome pterosaur monsters were left to be taken down one by one by the "hunters".

The two sides fought fiercely throughout the entire day.

The massive battle did not end until evening.

Looking around, the entire battlefield was littered with corpses, countless monster carcasses and mecha wreckage, and billowing dust obscured the sky.

Fortunately, the Mo tribe won the battle, and far more mechs survived than expected, more than half of them.

After the battle, the Mo people quickly began a series of tasks.

Gathering the damaged mechs and tanks, rescuing the wounded, repairing the city fortress... everyone was immediately busy.

The battle resulted in considerable casualties, but also yielded a rich spoil—the remains of thousands of monsters.

A series of engineer mechs and Inkling workers quickly arrived and began a large-scale collection operation.

There were also some funny and terrifying scenes: some monsters, not yet dead, would suddenly attack and swallow a passing Ink Clan member whole.

Even Li Xin was surprised.

Under these circumstances, if the monsters advance south in waves, the Ink Clan, with the resources and mechs they receive from the rear, will be able to hold out.

But a few days later, the situation completely changed.

"Boom!" Under everyone's watchful eyes, a magnificent sight appeared on the distant horizon.

A massive sandstorm.

It is over a thousand meters high, and its scale extends infinitely from both sides to the east and west ends, like a giant wall of sand and dust that has rolled down from the continent.

Within the sandstorm, there were hundreds and thousands of monsters.

They are the "Bone Scythe" and the "Long-necked Sand Dragon".

The bone sickles marched in groups at the front, each step causing the earth to tremble, while the long-necked sand dragons followed closely behind, driving the sandstorm.

The two worked together seamlessly, ultimately creating this earth-shattering "rumbling"!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood why the North had completely fallen.

The monsters didn't play any games with you; they simply used the Bone Scythe and the Long-necked Sand Dragon to create a rumbling sound, pushing their way from north to south.

What's chilling is that this was clearly an open conspiracy, yet the Mo Clan civilization couldn't stop it at all.

Mechs, land vehicles, fighter jets, city fortresses... all forces fired wildly at the Rumble, but to no avail.

As a Level 3 monster, Bone Scythe is a natural master of defense, and ordinary artillery fire is simply no match for it. Furthermore, with the sandstorm acting as a barrier, the barrage of artillery fire is significantly reduced.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" the commander-in-chief shouted hoarsely into the communications channel.

The commander of the defense line paused for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"This defensive line is no longer useful."

As he said, the super defenses were completely rendered ineffective in the face of an earthquake of that scale.

Mechs, land vehicles, fighter jets...

...The troops on the defensive line began to withdraw rapidly, and the Mo people in the city fortresses fled in panic, carrying their families and belongings.

Before long, the rumbling earth came into view.

The once impregnable super defense line was swallowed up in an instant. Hundreds of city fortresses collapsed and crumbled under the advance of the bone scythes, disappearing into the sandstorm.

The Starfire and the mobile cities of humanity also began their evacuation.

Although the existence of the rumbling earth greatly surprised humanity, it actually had little impact.

After all, mobile cities inhabited by humans are a combination of survival, migration, production, and combat, and people are used to living a nomadic life.

Therefore, from the human perspective, the rumbling only causes their mobile cities to "move" a little.

However, for the Mo civilization, the rumbling of the earth brought about a great deal of devastating disaster.

First, the super defense line painstakingly built by the high command was completely destroyed, and the Mo people lost the possibility of launching a northern expedition.

Secondly, the arrival of the rumbling earth completely destroyed the Mo people's layout in the south. Countless well-built towns, cities, buildings, canals and fields were all destroyed by the rumbling earth.

Buildings collapsed, fields were destroyed, and riverbeds were filled in... After the rumbling, only an endless expanse of flat sand remained.

Behind the super defense line, tens of thousands of Mo people who had just settled down were forced to begin a massive migration, akin to an escape.

The only saving grace is that the rumbling speed is not fast, estimated to be only 1.5 meters per second.

In other words, as long as the speed exceeds 48 kilometers per hour, you won't be caught up, and if you speed up, you can increase the distance.

As for the human side, which mainly consists of mobile cities, this is naturally not a problem.

At this moment, the Mo people once again displayed their amazing racial talent. Relying on the desert terrain, one by one, the Mo people spread their limbs and began to glide rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"This civilization is truly versatile!"

Two weeks later, the main force arrived at the southern coast.

The human-made mobile cities immediately began modifying themselves for ocean travel, while the Mo people jumped into the sea.

The higher-ups, on the other hand, seemed utterly disheartened.

The great war for control of the continent has begun. Relying on the super defense line, everyone is annihilating monsters and rebuilding their homes. Everything was going well, but it was all wiped out overnight.

Etheria, this magnificent supercontinent, will belong to the monsters.

Regarding the future, the Mo people were divided into two completely different factions.

One faction planned to develop directly in the ocean, while the other chose to travel to the nearest supercontinent, Terrasis.

In reality, the rainforest continent and the desert continent are separated only by a short strait, less than 50 kilometers at most.

A few hours later, the Xinghuo, having completed its nautical conversion, sailed into the ocean.

Li Xin stood on the observation tower, drinking an iced cola while enjoying the scenery to relax.

But gradually, he frowned.

"What's going on with this ocean?"

Logically speaking, given the long-term dumping of waste, wastewater, and garbage by the Mo civilization, the pollution in the ocean should have become extremely serious.

But the seawater in front of us was very clear, and when the sunlight shone through the water, it could even reflect the sandy bottom of the seabed.

Even the fish that were caught were very healthy and lively, jumping and darting around.

Filled with suspicion, Li Xin couldn't help but use a genetic manual to check the genes of the sea fish.

[Species Name: Bluefin Marine Fish]

[Genetic Overview: Double-stranded DNA structure, approximately 48 pairs of chromosomes, totaling approximately 12 billion base pairs. Harmful mutations are extremely rare, and no pollutant-related gene damage has been detected.]

[Genetic Attributes:]

Strength: E— / Speed: C+ / Intelligence: E+ / Spirit: D / Genetic Stability: D

Overall Rating: D+

"As expected, there's no pollution, and it's even edible," he murmured.

At that moment, K-78 team was still with them, so Li Xin couldn't help but ask Mike and the higher-ups.

However, they were even more confused than Li Xin.

"No pollution in the ocean? How is that possible?"

A few hours later, both sides learned the answer.

A group of sea monsters suddenly appeared in the sea ahead.

And they actually clean up the ocean.

Some monsters resemble giant whales, opening their enormous mouths to filter seawater, devouring and digesting marine debris and waste, and spitting out clean seawater.

Some monsters resemble fish and secrete large amounts of transparent fluid that acts like a disinfectant, breaking down and purifying toxic substances in the ocean without affecting fish or marine plants.

Some of the monsters had their backs covered with densely packed marine plant seeds and fish fry, spreading them extensively along their path.

For a moment, Li Xin and Mike were all stunned.

The Mo civilization severely polluted the ocean, while the monsters created by the sudden changes in ocean pollution were diligently working to clean up the ocean.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Why is that? We don't understand at all!" Mick murmured in confusion.

Li Xin realized something, and his expression gradually became serious.

The reason why the monsters are working so hard to control the ocean is probably because... they have come to regard the ocean as their home.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order.

"Yunzhi, send a reconnaissance plane back to the desert continent to take a look."

A reconnaissance plane immediately took off from the air command and crossed the coastline back inland.

A few hours later, the pilot brought back a startling answer.

After completely driving the Mo Clan civilization off the continent, the monsters began to manage and govern it.

Some monsters are sowing seeds, some are tending to the land, and others are using their abilities to bring about massive rainfall.

According to Yunzhi's estimates, in the next few years, this barren and arid desert continent will become more favorable in terms of weather and rainfall, and the vegetation coverage will also increase significantly in the future.

Without a doubt, just like the ocean, the monsters also treated the conquered continents as their own home!

After hearing the news, Li Xin's brows furrowed even deeper.

What's wrong with this monster? How can it be so intelligent?

Compared to him, Mick and the rest of the executives had a more complicated and worse mood.

Having remained trapped in the city fortress for years, they were completely unaware of the outside world. Only after being released by chance did they discover that the world had been turned upside down.

"How did the monsters become like this?"

Someone spoke with a bitter expression.

"If things continue like this, will our Mo race civilization still have a place in this world?"
