I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 828 Moths to the Flame

"This is just the beginning. The guy on the other side is extremely cunning. We must not let him take advantage of us."

Hearing Feng Yuan's praise, Qin Zhong's expression remained unchanged. He said in a serious tone, "General Feng, when the battle begins, please take me to where you store your precious metals. I need them to restore my fighting strength. Otherwise, I'm not sure how to face that minotaur next time."

"No problem. If the base is breached, those rare metals will be useless."

Feng Yuan nodded and said seriously, "There are still quite a few rare metals in the warehouse that are not inferior to blue gold. I believe they will be of great help in restoring your combat power."

"Thank you very much!"

Although Qin Zhong knew that there were still many rare metals of similar grade to blue gold in the warehouse, he could hardly feel a trace of joy in his heart.

Because at this moment, the cunning and hateful minotaur spoke again.

"Since you don't believe me, I can only use force to knock down your door. Of course, I'll also knock down your heads at the same time, hahahaha."

Hearing Qin Zhong's earlier shouts in the camp, the Minotaur grinned and roared, "All biological weapons, listen to my orders! Target the forward base, attack!"

At the command, the entire army moved.

As the Minotaur's mighty roar rang out, countless biological weapons instantly started to move and began to attack the base.

Accompanied by waves of dense and regular footsteps, the large, dense black shadows on the ground slowly spread towards the base.

As the saying goes, when there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Tens of thousands of killers acted as the vanguard, rushing towards the base like a black wave.

Under the protection of the blue energy field, the base is like a reef in the waves. No matter how turbulent the tide is, it will eventually turn into fragments and scatter all over the sky the moment it collides with the reef.

Amidst bursts of dense hissing sounds, countless killers who tried to pass through the blue energy field were turned into blue charcoal and reduced to ashes almost instantly.

Looking at the always stable blue energy field and the killers who were like moths to a flame in front of the blue energy field, everyone on the city wall secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the situation continues to develop like this, no matter how many killers come, they will eventually become part of the flying ashes and will not be able to hurt anyone.

However, things do not always go smoothly as expected. Many people overlook one thing, that is, there is a law in the world called the law of conservation of energy.

No matter what technology this blue energy field is developed by, maintaining this huge energy field will definitely consume huge amounts of energy.

This consumption became even more alarming as killers continued to rush into the energy field and turned into ashes.

Sure enough, ten minutes after the killer launched his suicide attack, a slight ripple appeared on the surface of the energy field, which was originally as symmetrical and azure as an eggshell.

Seeing this tiny but obvious ripple, those who knew something about the defensive energy field changed their expressions, especially Feng Yuan, whose face instantly turned gloomy.

……

"Is there something wrong with the energy field?" Looking at Feng Yuan's somewhat dark face, Qin Zhong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"There are too many killers breaking in. Killing them consumes too much energy. I'm afraid the energy field can't hold up for much longer."

Feng Yuan said in a gloomy tone, "If these killers continue to charge recklessly like they are now, this energy field will completely collapse in an hour at most."

"Oh my god! Didn't you say this energy field technology was very mature? How come it can only last for a short while?"

Hearing Feng Yuan's words, Qin Zhong's face changed slightly. He whispered, "One hour won't do anything at all. Even if we can get rid of some of the killers, what about the remaining killers and bone-eating worms? What's more, there's an even more terrifying minotaur!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although the energy field technology is mature, our energy technology is not."

Xu Li glanced at the slightly rippled energy shield and interrupted, "The energy field technology should be powered by a special energy system, but our technology isn't up to par, so we're using nuclear power instead. It should only last a few days..."

"That's true, but that's under normal circumstances..."

Feng Yuan said grimly, "Under this high-density attack, the energy system is likely to overload and explode. Therefore, we must shut down the nuclear energy before it becomes unstable to prevent the nuclear fuel inside from exploding and blowing us up."

"In that case, let's hold on for another fifteen minutes, then close the shield and let those killers in."

After listening to the two, Qin Zhong thought for a moment and suggested, "Let the killers in, and use our weapons and automatic defense devices to deal with them, reducing energy consumption. When we can no longer resist, we can activate the shield, intercept their team, and kill them mid-sentence. Secondly, it can also give the shield a buffer time, so that it can protect us at the critical moment. After all, those eight hundred bone-eating worms and the most terrifying minotaur haven't made a move yet!"

"No problem, I'll go arrange for them to prepare now."

Feng Yuan looked at the minotaur and eight hundred bone-eating worms standing still in the distance, nodded, and said softly, "Come with me. I'll take you to the supply storage depot. The war is coming, and you must improve your combat power as soon as possible."

After saying that, Feng Yuan arranged for Xu Li to stay at the city wall and command the defense of the city for him, while he turned around and walked towards the foot of the city wall with Qin Zhong.

Before leaving, Qin Zhong repeatedly reminded Ding Shenwang, Wang Boshen, Xiao Yingyong and others to kill the enemy only when ensuring their own safety.

Shortly after General Feng and Qin Zhong left, the protective shield surrounding the base began to slowly dissipate.

As the protective shield became fainter and fainter, the killers who passed through the energy field no longer turned into charcoal and ashes as they did at the beginning, but fell to the ground with their bodies charred, struggling and twisting.

When the blue protective shield completely disappeared, the killers that followed safely crossed the line of death and began to rush towards the city wall at high speed.

Looking at the killer rushing towards them at high speed, the people who had been warned in advance were not worried. No one had fired a shot yet, but just raised their guns with serious expressions and aimed at the invading enemy.

Because they were waiting, not only for the Killer to enter the shooting range, but also for several other powerful weapons to demonstrate their power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The first to show their power were the huge mechanical automatic cannons. When the first killer entered the 800-meter range of the city wall, these huge cannons with a range of up to 2,000 meters launched a fierce bombardment.

The precise locking and guidance technology allows these accurate mechanical automatic cannons to hit the target almost every time within a range of 800 meters.

Nearly thirty cannons fired at the same time, with astonishing power, and a neat line of gun craters was blasted out almost 800 meters away from the city wall.

These large pits with a diameter of about seven or eight meters are filled with the remains and flesh of the killers. Some killers who survived by chance are still struggling in the pits, trying to climb out and continue attacking the city walls.
