#912 - Chapter 912: It makes no difference whether you do it or not
As soon as the skeletal fire monkeys entered the attack range, the hummingbirds immediately began their assault.
“Cheep cheep cheep~”
“Cheep cheep cheep~”
The hummingbirds had all been upgraded with small four-dimensional antimatter ion cannons.
When the ion beams struck the monkeys, they immediately triggered annihilation reactions.
“Boom boom boom~”
Fire monkeys were blasted away one after another, but the monkeys behind them continued to charge forward relentlessly, seemingly endless.
“Good thing!” Nata sighed in relief upon seeing the antimatter ion cannons' effectiveness.
It would have been a tragedy if they were immune to antimatter attacks like the salt crystal creatures in the Arctic.
“Awoo~”
“Awoo awoo~”
After the skeletal fire monkeys' advance was hindered, new creatures emerged from the volcano, resembling hairless eagles.
They emitted flames all over their bodies and soared directly into the sky.
These hairless fire eagles circled above the volcano, gathering in increasing numbers.
Once they reached a certain concentration, they collectively set off towards Lop Nur.
Their flight speed was extremely fast, and they reached the defensive position of the hummingbird battle group in half an hour.
Upon arrival, they swooped down without hesitation and launched a direct attack.
“Cheep cheep cheep~”
“Cheep cheep cheep~”
The hummingbird battle group had to abandon attacking the fire monkeys and instead fire at the sky.
“Boom boom boom~”
“Boom boom boom~”
Explosions thundered across the sky, completely obscuring it.
The shockwaves from the annihilation reactions had some impact on the fire eagles behind, causing chaos in the air.
Of course, since the fire eagles' dive speed was simply too fast, it was impossible for the hummingbirds to completely defend against them.
A large number of fire eagles still successfully reached the ground, and the hummingbird battle group's formation was constantly impacted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the skeletal fire monkeys broke through the defense line and reached the entrance of the Lop Nur base.
“Clang clang clang~”
“Chatter chatter chatter~”
They slammed against the sealed entrance door while emitting shrill cries.
Nata opened the sealed door and let the monkeys in.
Once there were enough monkeys inside, the sealed door closed again.
These monkeys were trapped in the isolation layer, unable to advance or retreat.
“Buzz~”
A horizontal four-dimensional light beam formed a light saw that shot out from one side of the wall and moved towards the other.
After 30 seconds, the light beam bisected all the monkeys.
The isolation layer instantly fell silent.
“Puff~”
Five seconds later, all the monkeys were severed in two at the waist, dead beyond dead.
Then the outer sealed door opened again, and another batch of monkeys was let in…
The corpses of the fire monkeys piled up in the isolation layer. To solve this problem, Nata ordered the Hummingbird Queen to bring in many nanobots to decompose them.
Of course, some fire monkeys were decomposed by the nanobots before they could be severed by the four-dimensional light beam.
Binjiang City.
“Dad, your deduction was correct. The curtain is about to rise,” Nata said.
“Have you analyzed it? Are the creatures attacking the Lop Nur base silicon-based or carbon-based?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.
“Silicon-based,” Nata replied.
“Do you think these things could be the featherless chickens that Guiguzi spoke of?” Mengka asked.
“That’s actually possible,” Nata nodded.
The fire eagles were bald and smooth, which did have some resemblance to featherless chickens.
“Then wouldn’t we be at a disadvantage?” Mengka asked.
“What do you mean?” Nata asked.
“Think about it, that ugly monster wanted us to deal with them in exchange for information. Now we haven’t gotten the information, and we still have to deal with them. Wouldn’t you say that’s a loss?” Mengka explained.
“It seems like it,” Nata agreed.
“It’s a pity we didn’t ask him for contact information earlier; otherwise, we could still talk about a deal now,” Mengka sighed.
“It’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Dongfang Chen Er said.
“How so?” Mengka looked at Dongfang Chen Er.
“One way is for us to do things at our own pace, and the other is for us to do things according to the steps designed by others. Which one do you think is more reliable?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.
“Of course, it’s more reliable to do things at our own pace,” Mengka replied. Suddenly, she seemed to understand and said:
“Are you saying that if we don’t deal with him, we can prevent ourselves from jumping into the pit he dug?”
“That’s right,” Dongfang Chen Er nodded.
“Not necessarily. That old man is very strange, and nothing can escape his eyes. In other words, as long as he wants to dig a pit, it’ll be hard for us to avoid it,” Mengka said.
“That’s right, Dad. What Sister said is right. If that old man wants to dig a pit for us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to avoid it,” Nata also agreed with this view.
“Do you mean that this deal can be done?” Dongfang Chen Er asked.
“I don’t think it makes much difference whether we do it or not,” Mengka said.
“Yes, I also have this view,” Nata added.
