Chapter 190 Letter from Jinling
The gray-black fog is being left behind.
The shadow civilization did not launch a second round of attacks. Everything was smooth and natural. The life form of their civilization was very unique. The battles and confrontations were not as fierce and frontal as those of the Barkatans.
In addition, the Territory Lord's control over the gray-black fog had reached a certain limit. They finally chose to give up and watched the human retreating team leaving the gray-black fog little by little.
At this time, the passage through the gray-black fog has not completely disappeared, but its width has been greatly reduced and its boundaries are blurred.
These gray-black mist are like some kind of living body, which will slowly heal after being traumatized.
However, although the gray-black fog spreads very quickly in the inner circle to the blocked area of the main city of the Magic City, it spreads outward very slowly, only one or two meters in almost half an hour.
Fog is not generated out of thin air, it also requires a material foundation, and the transformation and production of matter also takes time. The shadow civilization has long been prepared to eat the magic city blockade, and has a corresponding reserve of gray and black fog particles, so it can quickly Expanding into the blockade area, the gray-black fog particles expanding outward are not enough, and the speed of outward expansion is naturally slow.
Even now that humans have left, the shadow civilization obviously hopes to flood the Demon City with gray-black fog before trying to expand outward.
Because of the large amount of matter in the magic city, it also helps a lot to produce gray-black fog for them.
With material support, they can further expand the scope of the gray-black fog area to devour other alien civilizations.
On the human side, the military has indeed not found a way to completely eliminate these fogs. Even fog-eliminating weapons are limited. Even if they are cleared, they can only be effective within a certain range and cannot completely remove all gray and black fogs. They are very Soon it will refill the cleared space through self-flow.
Therefore, the military could not stop their inward expansion and had no choice but to abandon the Magic City. Otherwise, under the fog, these three million people would have no room to struggle. The extremely low visibility environment combined with the strange movements of the shadow civilization With their methods, they can kill the vast majority of humans at a very small cost, and the human military cannot do much. This is caused by the life forms and war patterns on both sides.
If the shadow civilization were like the Bakatan people, maybe the humans in the Demon City could still stand up, stick to the Demon City, and use powerful firepower to engage in real-life collisions. However, the shadow civilization is a soft knife, and the military's firepower is almost useless. , the numerical advantage cannot be used in the fog, so they can only choose to retreat.
But precisely because it was a soft knife, the shadow civilization was powerless and just watched humans retreat in the mist. Therefore, their retreat this time was not greatly hindered by the shadow civilization, and the shadow civilization finally chose to retreat.
The domain lord gave up the attack.
In the long motorcade, in the swaying vehicles.
A child asked his mother in confusion: "Are we going to a safe place? Will we go back to the Magic City? Mom, I'm hungry..."
His mother didn't answer, she just hugged her child tightly and looked at the gray-black mist in confusion and loss.
The magical city shrouded in fog was once their home, but now, everything has changed.
There was not much joy in the team at this time. On the contrary, there was a faint and inexplicable sadness.
They left the place they were familiar with and fought for, and headed for the next unknown destination.
After coming out of the Magic City, looking around, the world outside was desolate, and it seemed that it was no longer the world they were familiar with. .
Many people in the motorcade were looking back.
The familiar magic city was blurred. They seemed to have passed through an obstacle smoothly, but few people showed happy expressions, and most people were uneasy.
This large retreating team was so huge that people behind them could not see the middle, and they could not see both ends. Compared with the huge team of survivors, the newly expanded army of 100,000 people also seemed stretched thin, which made many people I felt uneasy in my heart.
The unknown is scary.
Now, the familiar Blue Star is no longer familiar. Every step forward, I don't know what I will encounter next.
But at the head of the convoy, the military never stopped working.
Lin Qun has been recalled from the front.
Enter the command vehicle.
Fu Kaiyi looked excited and said: "We have contacted other troops!"
"There are still survivors in Lucheng? Or...have we contacted the Federation?" Lin Qun was also moved in his heart.
Now, the convoy has just left the gray-black fog, and has not even completely left the Magic City area. However, the electromagnetic interference caused by the gray-black fog is no longer there, and the military is trying to contact the surrounding troops.
Li Zheng was not in the command car at the moment, and was on his way to personally arrange the progress of the lengthy convoy. Although Li Zheng had already made preparations before setting off, the manpower was exhausted, and most of the three million people would be abandoned. , but he still hopes to protect and take care of everyone as much as possible.
The three million retreat team, crowded buses and private cars, can almost cover the field of vision even if they are now spread out.
"We have not been able to contact the Federal United Front Center for the time being. Lucheng must have been captured by a small group of alien civilization. The one we contacted is the Jinling military!" Fu Kaiyi's face showed obvious happiness for the first time in a long time, and said: "The Jinling military has brought us good news. They are holding on and have built a survivor base with Jinling City as their back. The number of survivors has exceeded two million!"
Two million people.
Two million.
It doesn't sound like there are as many people as Lin Qun's current large team, but considering the size of Jinling's population, it's pretty good.
The population of Magic City was nearly 20 million. In just twenty days, it dropped sharply to 3 million.
The permanent population of Jinling City seems to be only eight or nine million. The fact that these are left proves that Jinling is very powerful.
Successfully breaking through the blockade of the shadow civilization and immediately contacting humans in other areas. This is indeed good news one after another. No wonder Fu Kaiyi is a little embarrassed to show his excitement.
Lin Qun was also a little excited and said: "It seems that Jinling has sufficient military strength?"
"That's right, the remnants of our army in the Magic City area have merged with the troops from the Jinling Military Region. They are now all at the Jinling City Survivor Base. Currently, this is the most powerful military force in our entire region. Not only that, they also have many There is a genius master, and there is a supreme master who is the seventeenth human being in the world!”
Lin Qun's heart moved when he heard this.
Seventeenth in the world!
He was impressed.
The seventeenth human being in the world has a strange ID, which is "Flying Shark Coin". The total number of contribution points has already exceeded 10,000 points, approaching 20,000 points!
Lin Qun is now on the verge of becoming a household with a contribution of 10,000 yuan, and his global human ranking is even thirty-three. I have seen it specifically, so I have an impression of the previous ID. The most important thing is that this ID is so strange that it is impossible not to attract people's attention...
And he knows very well that if the total number of contribution points can reach the level of over 10,000, he may not be particularly powerful, but he must be a true master. The kind of person who can walk sideways in the alien civilization army cannot be achieved by luck and opportunism.
There seems to be a cloud of masters over there in Jinling!
In any case, even Lin Qun was a little excited when he heard such news, and said: "Then should we go to Jinling instead?"
"No... Jinling is still relatively far away from us. It is not comparable to the distance we go to Lucheng. The risk is still a bit high. After all, we have too many people. It is far enough from the Demon City to Lucheng, and Even if we go, Jinling City may not be able to accept so many of us, so we can have enough food and clothing by ourselves." Fu Kaiyi gave a wry smile.
Lin Qun also nodded. He didn't know much about this aspect. Hearing what Fu Kaiyi said made sense.
Fu Kaiyi said: "So, we still went to Lucheng. However, we contacted Jinling and got a lot of information. For example, Lucheng is now occupied by a small-scale civilization. They have a lot of troops, but they should not be ours. Opponent. And there is no particularly powerful civilization near us!
"This confirms some of Commander Li Zheng's previous guesses. We have been blocking the Demon City for more than 20 days, but the global battlefield outside has been fighting for more than 20 days. There is indeed no powerful civilization in the surrounding areas of the Demon City.
"Moreover, the initial melee on the global battlefield has ended. Strong civilizations are fighting each other, while weak civilizations are breaking into pieces and harvesting contribution points everywhere. They are a great threat to ordinary survivors, but they are not It hardly poses a threat to us.
"After all, we have so many people here, well-equipped weapons, and experts like you, Mr. Lin. If the army of the alien civilization does not reach a certain scale, it will not be able to move us. Therefore, although we are still more than 40 kilometers away from Lucheng It's a long journey, but there shouldn't be much danger.
"But we are still the primary target of alien civilization——"
The road they chose was a bit rugged, and the command vehicle was a little bumpy.
Fu Kaiyi paused and said: "Mr. Lin, we humans are an indigenous civilization, and we have different permissions from the participating civilizations on the global battlefield. You know this. Therefore, we are passive participants. For the entire global battlefield, We humans are the base of contribution points here, such as NPCs or wild monsters in the game.
"Therefore, when various civilizations first landed, they all avoided each other. They all chose to land in our human cities. Strong civilizations landed in super large cities, while medium and weak ones chose other cities. Therefore, as soon as the global battlefield opened , we were attacked almost all over the world. The entire federation was paralyzed overnight, countless people died, and each place was fighting on its own. We might be able to reach Lucheng safely, but our target is still very big. Although there are no aliens nearby Civilization has the ability to eat us, but a powerful civilization will definitely turn its attention to us, and we must be vigilant.”
Lin Qun understands.
Just like PVP games, such as Alliance, King of Glory, etc., it is ultimately a confrontation between heroes, that is, a contest between players. However, before players control the heroes to compete, they must first kill minions and develop wild monsters. As humans, the Blue Star natives are undoubtedly the soldiers and wild monsters in this civilized battlefield.
The resources of "minions and wild monsters" are limited, and these "minions and wild monsters" pose little threat to players.
Regardless of how the civilized battlefield is played, everyone must harvest wild monsters and develop them first, rather than fighting each other.
Lin Qun also sounded a little emotional and excited.
Lucheng and the road ahead will be safe——
This is indeed good news.
Li Zheng's judgment was correct.
He made a judgment based on the limited information from the Demon City. This millions-strong retreat from the Demon City seemed to be a near miss, but in fact everything was developing according to Li Zheng's judgment and guess, and everything was under control.
Judging from the available information, the Blue Star Battlefield is a three-level global battlefield. The civilizations that land here may be strong or weak. The weak will not be lower than a certain limit, and the strong will not be higher than a certain limit. It is at a certain level. In a balanced state, when the global battlefield first opens, it will definitely be a melee between multiple parties. Powerful or lucky civilizations will snowball and become stronger and stronger. These civilizations will compete for the final winner of the war of civilizations. They will Invest more troops and concentrate, specialize in other alien civilizations with larger numbers and scale, and win the most contribution points in one go.
Those medium and relatively weak civilizations are gradually marginalized. Their purpose is not to win the war, but to use this opportunity to participate in the competition to obtain more contribution points, which can be exchanged for their own civilization in the contribution point mall. Advanced technologies that take thousands of years to break through will then lead to technological leaps and explosions in our own civilization. Therefore, they need to break them into parts, disperse their forces, find leaks in the cracks of powerful civilizations, and obtain as many contribution points as possible. Reducing the size of their own forces can also prevent them from becoming the target of powerful civilizations, which not only protects He also achieved his goal of harvesting contribution points——
Although foreign civilizations come to participate in civilized wars, few of them really want to fight with others. The purpose of fighting is just to gain contribution points and bring the possibility of leap forward for themselves and their civilization.
Therefore, although many civilizations landed on the battlefield in the Demon City, their forces were not concentrated. For example, although the Bakatan people attacked the Demon City, they also landed in other areas of Blue Star because their goal was not from the beginning. What they capture, the land of Blue Star means nothing to them, they just want to get more contribution points. Of course, the Bakatan people are considered a powerful alien civilization, and they also have some ambitions. They want to build an advance base in the magic city, maybe just to have a game.
This is also the normal state of most civilizations. Their forces are scattered around the world. It doesn't matter whether they can win on the regular battlefield. What matters is whether they can gain more contribution points through multiple channels.
In fact, the same is true for the shadow civilization. From the information that Lin Qun heard from Zou Lianshan and the others before, the sky split open at that time, and a large number of terrifying creatures emerged in the world of the shadow civilization. There was more than one domain lord, but only one domain lord fell in the Demon City. , where did the rest go? Apparently they all went to other places in Blue Star to collect contribution points.
The number of human natives in a place is limited, and the number of contribution points is also limited. Putting all the troops in one place makes little sense to a civilization that does not want to compete for the final victory.
And because of this, there are already Bakatans and shadow civilizations in the battlefield of the Demon City. Seeing that there is not much cake left for the human indigenous people, it is impossible for other civilizations to deploy large-scale troops here. Even the remaining alien civilization creatures Their own clan has strength that is not inferior to that of humans, but its scale is small and its military strength is insufficient. Theoretically, it is impossible to devour the million-strong retreating team from the Demon City.
Because in comparison, the millions of people retreating from the Demon City with concentrated manpower and troops are an absolute behemoth to the dispersed forces of these small groups of alien civilizations.
These small and medium-sized civilizations are not weak and can participate in the war as contestants. At least their civilization level is similar to that of humans. However, if they do not concentrate their forces, they will not be able to fight against the human army of the Magic City that has broken through the Magic City's blockade.
Fu Kaiyi came to this conclusion.
I don’t think it will be too dangerous for them to go to Lucheng from now on, but they will also be targeted by those powerful civilizations because of their huge scale, like a fragrant cake that they want to eat in one bite!
Lin Qun was a little curious and said, "So, the Bakatans are a powerful civilization on the Blue Star battlefield this time?"
Magic City is a very large city!
This information is very important. The Demonic City has been blocked. They have been in a semi-closed state. Until now, they have not encountered many civilized creatures. Even if they encounter shadow civilizations, they actually don't have many collisions and don't understand much. , and they undoubtedly have the deepest understanding of the Bakatans.
Using the Barkatans as the frame of reference, it is appropriate to deduce the average level of alien civilizations on the global battlefield.
"No, they are by no means a powerful civilization..." Fu Kaiyi said, "As for the detailed information about other civilizations, Jinling City actually has very little information. After all, the federal system was destroyed overnight, and they can't contact them. Humans in too many places, but judging from the available information, the Bakatan civilization is by no means a powerful civilization.
"Because powerful civilizations do not need to blockade cities. Their own strength allows them to not be afraid of competition with other civilizations. Civilizations like Bakatan should be considered neither superior nor inferior in the judgment of the Jinling direction. , is stronger than the weak, weaker than the powerful, but has contribution points. I want to make a profit in the global battlefield, but I am worried that I will not be able to defeat others, so I chose to block it and invest the contribution points in advance. "
"So that's it..."
Lin Qun lowered his head.
The Bakatans are not considered a truly powerful civilization, so what kind of combat power should those truly powerful civilizations have?
And Fu Kaiyi's words continued: "After the opening of the civilized battlefield, Jinling relied on its own military strength to gain a foothold. However, according to information from Jinling, there is not much human activity near our magic capital. The area that now occupies Lucheng A small group of alien civilizations are called Taku civilizations. They are also technological civilizations, and they may have noticed us.
"In addition, there are also a group of 'Fire Dragon Tribe' creatures and 'Titan Beast' creatures nearby...
“The opponents we have to face are no longer just the lives of a single civilization.
"But there are advantages. It is said that the three of them are in a state of melee. Although the Taku civilization has a slight upper hand, it has not achieved an overwhelming advantage. This further shows that the three civilizations we have to face are not that powerful. The strength and scale are not large. The Taku people who are the most active in this area, the regular army plus armed personnel, may not have a total of 30,000 people.
“Jinling has judged that if these three companies don’t join forces, no one will be our opponent.
"Three million of us, an army of 100,000, are targets, but we are also powerful. If we don't have any ability, we can't be defeated!"
When he said the latter sentence, a touch of confidence appeared on Fu Kaiyi's face.
Apparently, the situation was better than they expected.
The largest number of Taku people may not exceed 30,000. Compared with the 3 million survivors and 100,000 troops in the Demon City, the alien civilization has become the weaker side.
Of course, the Taku people also have a main force, but they may just no longer be in the Magic City area. This is to harvest more contribution points. For example, the Barkatans fight on multiple fronts, and there must be places where they invest less troops. There, they may not be opponents of humans.
When Lin Qun heard this, he thought a lot.
They had just encountered the Titan beast, and the fire dragon tribe life...
Lin Qun thought of a "general" flying in the sky that he had killed before in the shadow world.
Perhaps, that is the so-called shadow creature of the fire dragon tribe...
But the conclusion given by Fu Kaiyi is still exciting.
There are no powerful alien civilizations in the Magic City area, and their previous worries may be unnecessary.
After all, there is not much money in the Magic City. Under the shadow of the two behemoths of Bakatan Civilization and Shadow Civilization, the civilization that is still making a living here is just picking meat from the teeth of the strong. How powerful can it be?
This made Lin Qun feel reassured.
Fu Kaiyi finally said: "However, Jinling does not know much about the situation here. According to Jinling's information, they are being attacked by an insect swarm civilization and there is no way to help us. But what is certain is the extent of the damage to Lucheng. Not serious, indeed an ideal survivor base building point.
"It's just that the Taku Civilization has probably made Lucheng their base. If we want to gain a foothold in Lucheng, we must first deal with this Taku Civilization!"
Lucheng will still be their final destination.
What they need now is a place to stay.
Jinling's information helped Lin Qun and the Demon City team quickly establish their understanding of the Blue Star battlefield.
In today's Blue Star, powerful civilizations concentrate their forces and start wars everywhere where there is fat. The wars are often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of contribution points, with artillery fire everywhere, and they compete on the battlefield; while the medium and weak civilizations are fully dispersed and consolidated into Zero, in small groups of thousands or tens of thousands, scattered throughout the huge blue star, fighting on a small scale or picking off humans.
Throughout Blue Star, there are large, medium and small battlefields everywhere, and fighting is endless!
Fortunately, due to the large-scale actions of the shadow civilization and the Bakatan people in the Magic City area, there are no main forces of large civilizations nearby, only some small and medium-sized civilizations that have picked up leaks, which do not pose any threat to the retreating army from the Magic City.
Lin Qun exited the command vehicle and returned to his own vehicle. He closed his eyes to rest, recharged his energy, and practiced secretly.
The long night is coming to an end, and the convoy begins to speed up. The military deliberately speeds up, but after all, it is a large team of millions of people, and there are various situations. Even if it speeds up, it will be difficult to really go faster. The two It's an hour's journey, and according to military estimates, it will take six hours at the fastest to arrive.
However, as the sky became brighter and brighter, the uneasiness in people's hearts subsided somewhat. Lin Qun saw that the military convoy separated into many small teams and went deep into the wasteland on both sides.
That was a group of reconnaissance teams, the military's goal, wanting to capture Lucheng directly!
Naturally, we must first explore the reality and see how many people and weapons the Taku civilization has.
At this moment, the large retreating team from the Demon City was now completely traveling in the wilderness.
Because the highway has almost been destroyed, and the openness of the wilderness is more conducive to the movement of large-scale convoys like theirs. Of course, there are certain problems. For example, some vehicles have a very difficult time moving forward in the wilderness. This is also The reason why the military cannot speed up.
It was the second hour after the convoy completely left the foggy area of the Magic City. One-third of the journey had been completed, and the sky was brightening every inch. Many people in the convoy shouted nervously.
Because at the end of the sky, a small black dot appeared.
It was a group of flying creatures.
They are a group of flying creatures covered with green skin and as big as three cars. From a distance, they really look like green-skinned fire dragons, but in fact, their biological forms are still similar to the large lizard dragons in human Western culture. There's a big gap.
However, they did not launch an attack. Instead, they circled rapidly in the sky at a very high position. The military was also on emergency alert, but did not fire.
Because there are only a dozen of them, they are not a threat at all.
At the same time, news also came from the reconnaissance troops sent out by the military.
They discovered traces of Taku civilization!
…

ps: This is a 6,000-word chapter. This chapter briefly talks about the external situation (but limited by the human perspective, the information is still incomplete, and it is not the situation on the global battlefield), so it will not be divided into chapters. Today, these two chapters are also 10,000 words long. .
