Chapter 356: Storm and Fire

Day after day, night after night.

Outside Xinquan is still a peaceful time. In the drizzle, most people have gradually become accustomed to it. In their hearts, some parts have gradually felt that perhaps those water ghosts have feared Outside Xinquan's defense and dare not come again.

The knights under Si Lan's command still ignored the rain and humidity, insisting on daily patrols and training. It's just that the armor grew hair, which can't be counted as trouble.

And that batch of Chosen Ones from the Wasteland Collection in Diao Mao Town, after the initial waiting, have gradually become scattered, and some have even begun to indulge in strong wine and beauty. Others have made a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Old Lin still here to suppress one or two, maybe someone would want to quit by now.

As for the tough guys in the security team, they are as stable as ever.

From the double salary at the beginning of the rainy season to the combat allowance that didn't stop even if they didn't see the enemy, it was issued to everyone's hands every day. They didn't worry about eating and drinking. It's just that one person suffered a bit, and the whole family could live a good life in Yacheng. For retired soldiers who had no other skills except killing people, setting fires, shooting guns, and firing cannons, this was simply the most cost-effective deal.

Especially Coastal Industry has employee discounts for purchasing products, comprehensive maintenance, and even if there are children with good studies in the family, they can provide ultra-low-interest student loans and related support. If they can get into the Heaven Gate, they can even be interest-free, and there are additional sponsorships...

But after eating a little bitterness, everyone knows how sinful it is to grab this good life and live it.

Only the treasury of Coastal Industry is consuming at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under such a huge expenditure, it gradually shows a situation of not meeting the expenditure.

After all, the rainy season is hard to survive, business is hard to do, and even the final payment of many goods is about to be broken. Who knows how many customers will be left after the rainy season.

Seeing his Haizhou being ruined like this, Ji Jue's determination to suppress bandits became even more firm.

Water ghosts, must be killed!

Otherwise, how can I eat hot pot and sing songs to sit on the Heaven Track in the future?

And just at noon that day, Ji Jue received the news.

A note was specially sent to the coast by Jin Maozai. The note clearly wrote that the Blood-Washing Fleet and many pirate ship groups had followed the fog belt and were heading towards Outside Xinquan, expected to arrive within these few days.

The news was clearly from an internal ghost, otherwise it wouldn't be so certain.

It's just that Chen Xingzhou's hand could reach so deep into the opposite pocket, which was beyond Ji Jue's expectation.

Soon, he received another message from the Security Bureau.

Chaocheng and Yacheng, two central big cities, were all under martial law. Chosen Ones in small cities like Ship City and River City were all mobilized and dispatched urgently.

In the area near the Federation's Endless Sea southwest region, known as the Wandering Sea, two absolute-level disaster beasts, White Dragon and Green Dragon, woke up, entered the foraging period, ravaged the Qiandao, and then turned to enter the Federation's territorial waters.

Under the state of emergency mobilization, all combat members of the Security Bureau in coastal areas must return to their posts and wait for conscription, and the advance team has already set off to observe the situation.

If these ghost things have a tendency to approach the land, they must be expelled at the first time. Every time the Green Dragon and White Dragon wake up and forage, it will trigger a vast wave. Not to mention the huge appetite of the two disaster beasts, the key lies in the large number of mermaids that survive by attaching to both...

Although the name sounds gentle and harmless, in reality, the disaster species called mermaid, even the hatchlings that have just hatched, are monsters weighing several tons and at least six meters long!

After growing up, the strong ones have a high probability of obtaining the blessing of the Wasteland Ruins and Entropy, becoming an out-and-out 【Harm】 level disaster.

Moreover, the most dangerous place is that mermaids are gregarious species.

Once the leader appears, hundreds or thousands of the same race will often follow behind...

These marine creatures, mutated under the infection and erosion of the Twin Jiao, often possessed an extremely massive appetite and a ferocity and madness that surpassed ordinary aberrations.

If they are not blocked, and these dog-shit things crawl into the sewers of Yacheng, who knows how much trouble they can make.

Not to mention the large number of mindless aberrations scurrying about these days; the situation was deteriorating rapidly.

For a time, the Security Bureau has no time to take care of other things.

This means that Outside Xinquan can't get any help from the Security Bureau in a short time.

It's just the effort of the front and back feet, the timing is just right.

This can't help but make Ji Jue think more.

Then, the bad news that spread throughout the wasteland was the out-and-out bad news.

Storm moves west!

Every year when the rainy season reaches this time, the super typhoon air mass will blow from the Endless Sea, bringing continuous rainstorms and gales, storms constantly, but this time, the typhoon's wind speed has reached level 18...

After Ji Jue hung up the phone, he sighed silently.

Time and place, it can be considered that Pacquiao, that old thing, waited for it!

From the afternoon, it was pouring rain, and the roaring sound was endless.

The entire wasteland of Haizhou was shrouded in violent turmoil, mountain torrents ravaged, mudslides rolled, and with the rise of the water level, Outside Xinquan, which was originally at the highest point, gradually showed signs of flooding.

Fortunately, there are industrial heavy exoskeletons, emergency maintenance of works in the rainstorm. And the construction of flood control facilities has never stopped since the establishment of Outside Xinquan. Now, it finally came in handy.

Electric light crossed, gale howled.

An off-road vehicle rushed into Outside Xinquanzhen, and then a person covered in mud jumped down, out of breath.

"The water level has risen again!"

The observer reported urgently, looking anxious:?? "Longjiang has changed its course, the old estuary has begun to expand, it can't be blocked, Boss, it really can't be blocked!"

After Ji Jue finished listening, he didn't insist, just nodded:?? "Then let everyone withdraw, everyone has worked hard, the bonus is paid as usual."

Long-term continuous rainfall plus storm, now the upper reaches of Longjiang next to Outside Xinquan don't know how many mud and water flows are rushing down every minute, mixed with stones and debris brought by mudslides, breaking through the temporary dams set up before, rushing into the old river bank...

At this time, it can no longer be blocked.

Even if he orders again, it is just a joke with human life, not to mention, can it be blocked?

Gou Er next to him wanted to speak but stopped, but didn't open his mouth in the end.

At this time, in order to earn performance, he should actually stand up and take on this work, but is it useful? It's just changing someone to fail, changing a group of people to die.

Under the ravage of the flood, it rushed into the sea. The entire Outside Xinquan could hear the earth-shaking roar. Fortunately, the river bank had been repeatedly reinforced by Ji Jue, otherwise, Outside Xinquan next to the Longjiang river channel would have been poured into a mess.

This is the luck in misfortune.

Regrettably, in this way, the strategy of limiting the water level also failed.

Although Outside Xinquan is still more than ten kilometers away from the coast, with the rise of the sea level, this distance is also shrinking rapidly, plus the Longjiang rushing into the sea next to it, for the water ghosts, it is completely open.

A sudden typhoon and rainstorm wiped out most of the geographical advantage.

After making the decision, Ji Jue ordered Gou Er to assist in the withdrawal and resettlement of the flood control personnel, and then, sat quietly in his position, staring at the monitoring scene on the screen.

Now, Engineer Yan and the backbone of the factory, and even the vast majority of old employees, were sent to Yacheng by Ji Jue. Anyway, there is no business and production in the rainy season, just arrange a team building, manage food, housing, and play, don't worry about anything.

Even if there is any demand next, aren't there those cattle and horses in the underground factory who are still concerned about the coast and production while soaking in the water?

And Lu Feng has been paralyzed in the chair from beginning to end, leisurely picking his feet, brushing short videos, not worried at all. Anyway, the defense of the factory area and Outside Xinquan has a few subordinates who are used to watching, and there will be no trouble. What is the use of being worried, it is better to recharge and wait for the opponent to show up, and then give them a jump slash.

All afternoon and all night, the entire Outside Xinquan was panicked.

In the storm, the rain leaked endlessly, and the sheds that were overturned rose into the sky and fell, falling into pieces, and even bricks and stones were blown up.

The flash of the power box burst appeared constantly, and the wires swayed in vain, breaking rapidly.

After losing the protection of the Heaven Supervision Law, the wasteland gradually became unrecognizable in the disaster.

At this moment, Outside Xinquan in the storm is like a small box, silently enduring the ravage of the storm, gradually collapsing and deforming.

But this is already much stronger than most settlements in the wasteland.

In the ravage of mudslides and floods, I don't know how many settlements have been soaked in muddy water. Everyone is trembling and staying in the most stable house in the whole settlement, praying for the end of the storm.

The ravage of the disaster lasted until late at night, the rain stopped, continuous, but the wind had already begun to slow down. I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I don't know how many people's hearts were mentioned to their throats.

Anxious and uneasy.

From the thin rain and mist, you can only hear the roar of Longjiang galloping, and the tide that is gradually surging in the distance. In the mist that drifted from the sea, the smell of blood and stench gradually emerged.

Lu Feng on the recliner turned off his phone and stood up slowly, sniffing.

As if listening sideways.

"Almost there."

He felt his pulse that suddenly became excited, and sighed softly.

At that moment, the harsh alarm sounded suddenly from every corner of Outside Xinquanzhen, and the dazzling red light kept flowing with the flashing of the warning light, waking up everyone who was sleepy.

One after another searchlights were all activated, and dazzling illumination bombs rose into the sky, and the pale light instantly illuminated the whole town.

The sound of metal friction was endless.

And in the radar monitoring of the screen, one after another red dots emerged from the sea surface outside the line of sight, in groups, countless.

Just like the tide, rushing towards Outside Xinquan!

Dozens, hundreds, in the end, almost dyed more than half of the screen blood red...

"Finally here."

Ji Jue sighed lightly, stood up, took off his coat and put it on, and walked towards his workshop:?? "Isis."

"I am here."

"Start the defense strategy,?? one, two, three,?? four, five launchers, saturation strike."

"Obey."

Accompanied by the soft voice, the night was ignited by flames.

Under the night, in the countless thin rain, in the mountains outside Outside Xinquan, one after another launch pads rose from the hidden corners, shaking off silt and stones.

In an instant, complete the lock.

Then, like stars, the scorching light rose into the sky—for more than half a month, the short-range missiles produced day and night by the cattle and horses in the underground factory were so abundant that they were about to explode the inventory. At this moment, there was no need for frugality. Even if a few rounds were squandered, I am afraid they would not be squandered.

In order to deal with the water ghost's attack, as early as a few weeks ago, Ji Jue had obtained the defense permit of the Haizhou garrison base, not to mention this kind of missile launched towards the sea, which would not go to the hinterland at all, and there was no possibility of taboo.

Suddenly, one after another steel stars with dazzling light and tail traces rushed into the sky, galloping, galloping, galloping, crossing a distance of hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye, sinking into the thick fog, and then, exploding with a bang.

Under the eruption of massive phlogiston, the scarlet flame light kept erupting from the sea surface in the middle of the night, one after another.

One after another scarlet colors intertwined, projected in the thick fog, diffusing and scattering, gorgeous and bizarre.

It's just like igniting the entire sea surface. The hot gale wrapped a large amount of water vapor and spread, once again catalyzing new mist.

In just a few snaps of the fingers, the red dots on the radar disappeared by half, and then half again.

Withering rapidly.

Less than half a minute, it was sparse.

But Ji Jue's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Not right!

Completely not right!

This kind of behavior of running into the radar range and seeming to be a living target to die, is really unimaginable to happen in today's era, not to mention, even if his own rural mountain-copy workshop can build missiles in a little time, in the chaotic environment of the Qiandao, without any supervision, even if it is troublesome, it is impossible to have no power to fight back at all.

Unless...

"Bait."

At this moment, the drone mixed in the missiles sent back the scene at the forefront. One after another broken and twisted steel wrecks were rolling on the sea surface, sinking rapidly, visible to the naked eye, all of them were rusty waste ships, mixed with a large amount of marine garbage.

Even, more inferior illusions.

Just like taking a mining card to run special effects, frame loss, flickering, distortion and overlap, those mass-copied pirate ship phantoms had no difference at all. At this moment, after being bombed, they flickered wildly and dimmed rapidly.

And right in the center, shrouded in thin mist, appeared an old-fashioned track-pole sailing ship!

As if a living thing, walking nimbly between the wrecks, ignoring the bombing of the missiles, and using false heat sources and reactions to deceive the identification of the missiles, not touching a leaf.

Right on the bow, the withered old Chosen One was covered with bizarre barnacles and seaweed, his white hair mottled.

Silent grin.

As if noticing the peeping of the drone, he pointed, and the drone lost its response instantly.

The high-pitched horn sound rose from the burning sea surface.

One after another, spreading in all directions, blowing the horn of general attack.

Then, in the coastal area outside Outside Xinquan, one after another muffled sounds erupted suddenly, water splashing, rising, just like the trap on the seabed was triggered.

That is the sea mines scattered in the shallow sea area!

The entire Outside Xinquan was shrouded in the loud noise that was gradually approaching, and in the chaos spreading, everyone heard the sound of boiling... coming from the Longjiang river that was galloping next to it.

In the overlooking of the searchlight, the water surface was rolling, waving, and in that ravaging river water, one after another huge shadows were emerging rapidly!

From the deep sea, galloping!

Broke through the blockade of the sea mines, along the estuary of Longjiang, galloping upstream, until Outside Xinquan was close at hand.

Expiration date

Until the hysterical laughter rose from the opened water waves.

A ship full of armor broke through the water, suddenly leaped up, smashed heavily into the boiling river water, the naval gun turned, and fired towards Outside Xinquan!

Boom!!!

Amidst the loud noise, the town suddenly shook, flames soared, and dissipated again. The missed shell rubbed the edge of Outside Xinquan and smashed into the mud outside the town.

No chance to fire a second shot.

The heavy exoskeleton holding the rocket launcher on the sentry tower had completed the lock, excitation!

Immediately following, the firepower system under Isis's control had completed the lock, missiles descended from the sky, and smashed a big hole in the pirate ship that came by surprise.

Name

The attacker, paralyzed on the spot.

Birth

Only had time to complete the predetermined task—dazzling electric light like a tide, instantly erupted from the ship, covered the entire Outside Xinquan indiscriminately.

The violently changing electromagnetic field and countless flying lead powder and aluminum foil spread with the rain.

Then, Outside Xinquan under the scorching light fell into darkness rapidly.

EMP!!!

Then, on the vast and wide river, one after another shadows rose one after another.

Just like a warship modified into a submarine, rudely sinking the ship into the sea, relying on the power of the blessed creation, after crossing the last distance, it rose from close at hand!

Among them, a scarlet flame light of the Swarm flowed, rose into the sky, instantly slashed and cracked one after another flying missiles, fire light erupted.

Under the reflection of the scorching light, Pacquiao, like a giant, stood at the very front of the deck of his flagship, looking down at the town that had fallen into darkness rapidly.

In his hand, the bizarre spear raised and pointed.

Giving instructions to all the water ghost pirates who were hungry and thirsty: "—Kill all, burn all!" ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
