Chapter 2353
The competition stage for space-time crystals ended, with only 142 people left on their side. The good news was that they didn't need to guard the base camp anymore. The bad news was that after the base camp transformed into a spaceship form, it would fly to high altitude, and contractors would no longer be able to enjoy the recovery aura. After being injured, they could only rely on recovery items or treatment-type abilities.
Counting the equipment bonus, Su Xiao's stamina attribute reached 149 points, which meant that his recovery amount using Ancient Secret Medicine was very low.
Without supplies, the risk of battle increased sharply. It was fine before when there was the base camp's healing aura.
【Warning: Detected that aliens are about to strike. The Hunter can choose to hold for three hours or leave the base camp immediately.】
【If the Hunter chooses to hold, they can lift off with the base camp and land by parachute over a safe area after 45 minutes.】
Su Xiao had no interest in parachuting. The alien army was expected to strike in 7 minutes. This would be a general offensive. Over 95% of the aliens in Dapuxiu Fortress would be dispatched, Crimson · Tasha, the heavy armor troop, etc., would all be present. The intensity of the attack could be imagined.
Thinking of this situation, Su Xiao walked quickly toward the outside of the base camp. His injuries had recovered by about 70%. As long as he didn't fight within the next ten hours or so, he would be able to fully recover.
Not only Su Xiao, but the Dean and others also walked out of the base camp. The reward for guarding this general offensive was certainly generous, but one had to be alive to take it.
They couldn't hold it anymore. Because the number of people on their side was reduced to 142, each person had to deal with more aliens.
Everyone left the base camp, which was equivalent to giving up the defense. Steam sprayed from both sides of the base camp, and it began to transform into a spaceship form.
Orange-red flames sprayed from the engines. With no one choosing to hold, the spaceship lifted off ahead of schedule.
Watching the gradually lifting spaceship, Su Xiao began to ponder the next plan. Dapuxiu Fortress was on the south side, which was very important information.
According to Baha's reconnaissance over the past few days, the north side of the Fallen Zone was the sea, not worth exploring. The west side was a dark forest. When the aliens were sleeping in the earth's core, the dark forest had once been an orc city.
The historical changes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent were very interesting. First was the cold weapon era, then the steam era, the electricity era. By the electricity era, the aliens woke up, and the civilization of orcs and humans was almost destroyed.
After surviving this disaster, it changed from the electricity era to the transcendent + cold weapon era. The population limited development. The minimum requirement for developing technology was stable cities, a large population, and abundant resources.
Stability was out of the question. Aliens were the absolute overlords of this world. The human population advantage was gone. There were abundant resources, but without the former two, no matter how many resources there were, technology couldn't be developed.
After humans lost their population advantage, the first sub-orc in history appeared. From then on, humans began to develop toward mysticism, that is, they stopped believing in technology and switched to believing in transcendent power. This was the best means of self-preservation in the case of a small population.
Several generations of sub-orcs had glorious history, but this glory only lasted for eight generations before coming to an abrupt end. When the last sub-orc leader died, the alliance between humans and orcs fell apart.
Most orcs became increasingly declining and eventually surrendered to the aliens, being used as cannon fodder and sacrifices.
As for the humans of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, they never appeared in the Fallen Zone, or perhaps the humans' mysticism was already very strong, strong to the point that even aliens didn't want to provoke them easily, or perhaps humans were already on the verge of extinction.
Su Xiao felt the former was more likely. Otherwise, the aliens wouldn't be so anxious to leave this world. It was they who brought transcendent knowledge. After humans mastered this knowledge, they became more and more awesome. Anyone would be a little panicked.
Inferring this, the number of humans in this world should be very small, weeded out into elites, and without order.
The alien side wasn't a monolith either. Several commanders didn't like each other, and the conflict between ground-type species and fission-type species wasn't a day or two. It was the Alien King suppressing internal conflicts.
Of course, on the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent now, aliens were the absolute overlords. Even if humans and orcs united again, the alien army only needed to send half, and they could kill them all in at most 10 days.
Su Xiao's idea was to first reach the far rear of the aliens to see if he could find human forces in this world. They were fighting against the aliens and must understand the aliens better.
To obtain the World Core, he would likely have to fight the Alien King. Aliens and the humans of this world were mortal enemies. If Su Xiao could find human forces, he believed that human forces would be very interested in exterminating the Alien King. By then, he might be able to trick a few powerful thugs.
The alien army would charge from the south side. Su Xiao prepared to head toward the east side. After walking for more than ten kilometers, he would turn south to bypass Dapuxiu Fortress.
Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha to head toward the east side. As for Beini, after this cat's stamina recovered, it continued to search for the World Source, or rather, it was searching for the Alien King's location. The World Core was likely with the Alien King.
Beini's search ability was worth affirming. This cat didn't find many treasures, but it was very slippery when searching for space-time crystals, World Cores, etc. Even a place as secret as the fifth underground floor of Dapuxiu Fortress was infiltrated by it. In Beini's description, it crawled in the underground drainage system for two days. Everything else was fine, just a bit expensive on oxygen tanks.
Not only Su Xiao, but other contractors on their side also dispersed. These people were basically lone wolves. After separating, their combat power didn't decrease but increased. Although they became a 'scattered sand' state again, their goals were unified: don't let the aliens have a good time.
The role of the war channel was reflected at this time. If someone wanted to stir up trouble and lacked manpower, they could completely look for it in the war channel. At least cooperation in this world was no problem. If they met in other worlds later, different positions meant enemies, and after saying hello, it would be life-or-death, with no soft hands.
The alien army was about to strike. They had been robbed of 9 space-time crystals, so of course, they wouldn't let it go.
A few minutes later, the earth trembled, and a black wave of ground-type beasts charged over. What was left for them was a piece of empty grassland and a crushing trace, representing that the Reincarnation Paradise base camp had once landed here.
"They... escaped? And dispersed?"
Crimson · Tasha couldn't believe it. Their formidable enemy had just handed over the Fallen Zone like this. This was something she couldn't figure out no matter what. Her thought was that there must be some conspiracy.
East side of the grassland, more than ten kilometers away, Su Xiao was walking on a reed field. White reed flowers fluttered in the wind, and the scenery was beautiful.
"Moo."
Amu patted his nose. A reed flower drifted onto his nose, somewhat itchy. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was happy.
Following the reed field, Su Xiao changed his direction of travel, turning from east to south, preparing to bypass 'Dapuxiu Fortress' and head toward the central area of this continent.
Thud~
A muffled explosion came from the direction where 'Dapuxiu Fortress' was located. A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and piercing firelight appeared in the thick smoke. This was the lunatics saying goodbye to 'Dapuxiu Fortress'.
