The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 185 Flames
The Kabbalah tree of life, made up of plague strains, didn't keep the Avengers waiting long.

Suddenly, the towering tree trembled.

The 22 roots squirmed like giant snakes, and the ten branches swayed violently. Microscopic spores as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River fell down, covering the surroundings like a thin mist.

The Empire State Building, or Tower of Babel, woke up.

The creeper covering the surface of the high-rise building began to extend downward, and the green torrent overflowed the concrete floor, engulfing the cars on the street, and the buzzing of the vehicle alarm bell only rang a few times before being overwhelmed by the sound of creeping expansion. shaded.

The speed at which the creeps expanded was so fast that the helicopters circling in the distant sky had to forcibly change the direction of their searchlights in order to keep up with the continuous expansion of the creeps.

"My God, they, they're eating the city!"

The exclamation of the unnamed helicopter pilot probably represented the feelings of everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Looking from the sky, the green torrent expanded with lightning speed, engulfing all the high-rise buildings along Fifth Avenue, even the Stark Tower.

Crazy creeping creeps even sprayed out from the sewer pipes and flew off the manhole cover. Only then did people realize that the power of the creeping creeps can already penetrate the reinforced concrete structure and penetrate any obstacles with a tenacious attitude.

"How is this going?"

Director Nick Fury hated his own sense of powerlessness at this time extremely, and could only ask in a deep voice: "Why did the creep suddenly become active?"

Li Ang tapped the tabletop of the command platform lightly with his fingertips. After thinking for a moment, he immediately manipulated the command panel and directly called up the route map of the sewers in New York from the internal system of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After a while, he opened his eyes and asked quietly: "I said, recently, the New York subway system has often received complaints about water leaks from time to time? Is there any report that the relevant personnel of the fire department have disappeared in the sewer recently?"

".That's right."

Senior agent Phil Coulson gave the answer after only one phone call, "Last month, there were small-scale water leaks in some tunnels in the New York subway system, and a staff member was also in the sewer system last week. Missing report."

Thunder God who was at the scene didn't know why, and said in surprise: "Everyone is missing, why didn't they attract attention?"

Agent Coulson coughed dryly, looked at the silent colleagues around him, and had no choice but to answer: "New York's sewer system has a long history, and there are often some black people without relevant documents living in it, and some weird incidents are not uncommon.

And the missing staff member was a temporary Mexican worker, so..."

Li Ang said with a smile: "So no one cares about his life and death, and no one can find the creep that was parasitic in the underground facility a month ago."

With a wave of his hand, he made a three-dimensional projection of the extremely complicated New York underground facilities and spread them in the hall, "The scope of the creeper is no longer limited to the Empire State Building, it parasitizes every sewer outlet, from this 800 million Nutrients are obtained from the sewage generated every day by populous metropolises.

Until now, it has finally accumulated enough power to attack the entire city. "

As if in response to Li Ang's words, the cocoons on the outside of the Empire State Building shattered, and countless mutants with twisted shapes hatched, roaring and rushing towards the streets below.

These mutants that have been completely eroded by the creeps are stronger than before, and the transformation from the creeps has covered their bodies with a layer of blue-black armor.

The small-caliber bullets used by the New York police couldn't penetrate at all, and the military's machine gun bullets could only leave deep holes on the thick surface of the creep blanket. Apart from making the mutants stagger a bit, they couldn't damage the mutants at all. Can't understand the essence of the other party.

The army of mutants knocked out a number of armored vehicles in two or three strokes, and tore the ordinary army like little flesh worms to pieces.

At the end of the street, the long-awaited main battle tank finally came into play. When the artillery fire roared, the thick and long shells from the crystallization of human civilization directly penetrated the mutants,
Armor piercing, blasting, and burning were all done in an instant, and the battle group of the main battle tanks caused casualties of several mutants in one encounter.

The armed helicopters in the sky were also fully fired, and the bullet chains spewed out by the rotary machine guns cut through the front of the mutant army like steel knives, and the air-to-surface missiles that arrived later killed a group of people in a flash of flames. A whole street of monsters.

"No!"

As a big entrepreneur, Iron Man watched the Manhattan golden zone being so ruined, couldn't help but gasped, and couldn't help shouting: "Washington, are they crazy? Using missiles on their own land Bombing?"

"It's a necessary move."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, looked at Manhattan's Fifth Avenue engulfed in flames, and said with a soft smile, "Why did Creep create these mutants?
It is because the spores that generate the creeps have a limited range of transmission, cannot touch seawater, and are easy to perish during air transmission, so they need to use more flexible mutants to help spread.

If one mutant is allowed to escape from New York and abscond to other inland cities, I am afraid that the entire American continent will become a creep country in a week. "

Humans are a race good at war, from bone clubs to bronze blades, from crossbows and spears to torrents of cannonballs.

Flesh and blood cannot defeat steel, this is a wise saying.

Although carpet bombing has long been outdated, and the present world is dominated by surgical precision bombing, in the face of invisible and hard-to-find mutant spores, there is only one instruction from the Washington Tactical Command Room,
Blow it up, blow it up hard, if you can't kill it, then send out a second helicopter formation to blow it up a second time.

Now is no longer the time to think about post-disaster reconstruction. Lords of Gungan, who have seen the speed of creep expansion with their own eyes, no longer have the confidence to implement the plan of "controlling the plague in New York".

Right now, the only way to completely strangle the deadly threat is in the cradle!
The missile array bombarded the whole street, and even with the assistance of the precision guidance system, the aftermath of the explosion still shattered the glass of the tall buildings on both sides of the street.

After a few breaths, the smoke dissipated, and the army of mutants who were still invincible just now had been completely ablated, leaving only half of the steel wreckage left after the car was melted by the high temperature, and the huge gaps in the walls of those tall buildings.

At the same time, armed helicopters slowly headed towards Manhattan from the sky, and amphibious landing ships slowly approached from the sea, loaded with tens of thousands of American soldiers, to execute orders from Washington.

Iron Man, who has a private satellite, is probably the first person in the Avengers to react. He looked at the helmet screen in disbelief, those American troops marching in a big way, and shouted into the microphone: "Wait, these troops What are you here for?"

Inside the space carrier, Nick Fury said faintly: "If the creeps get out of control, they will use flamethrowers, napalm bombs, incendiary bombs, all weapons that can physically burn the spores, and burn the creeps in New York to death. do."

In short, with fire, purify everything.

Tony Stark licked his chapped lips, and said with difficulty: "What about the 800 million ordinary people infected by spores in New York City?"

No one answered, and the entire space carrier was silent and scary.
