abyss rose

The violent shaking didn't last long. When the shaking stopped, Chai Yuening ran to the window and looked in the direction of the loud noise.

At a glance, she saw the golden ball of light called Floating Light in the mid-air far away, flickering rhythmically like a broken light bulb at this moment.

Many alien beasts that were as far away as the size of ants shuttled back and forth to invade the buoyant core under the floating light.

"That's just one of the buoyancy forces. Counting the central buoyancy force, there are seven buoyancy cores in the main city." Yi Shuyun said, "As long as the central buoyancy remains intact, the floating city will not crash immediately, but the outer buoyancy cores are damaged. , the base will lose its balance..."

As soon as Yi Shuyun finished speaking, another floating light began to flicker irregularly in the distance in the same direction.

The flat ground under his feet began to slope slowly in one direction.

Chai Yuening looked at other buoyancy points, no matter where they were, strange beasts were constantly attacking.

They seem to know that these things are the lifeblood of the floating city.

"Where there is a herd of beasts, there must be a leader. This is an organized invasion." Yi Shuyun frowned, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, "The leader of the herd may have retained human memories, and may even have acquired human Wisdom, it knows all too well how to beat us...but we just can't find it."

Mutations are always like this, with residual memory, but no trace of emotion, so that a human being can completely lose himself, and then follow the monster's bloodthirsty instinct.

There were strange beasts flying not far away, and countless bullets killed them outside the research institute.

As Ye Qing said, this is a key protection area of ​​the military, but in fact the alien beasts are not very interested in this place, at least [-]% of the alien beasts in the beast tide have a very clear goal - the buoyant core.

If not, these personnel here may not be able to protect the researchers and research results here.

In order to maintain the balance of the floating city, the base took the initiative to extinguish two floating lights.

The good news is that when a floating light went out, the beasts around the buoyant core obviously lost their attack direction, and fell into a moment of bewilderment.

They should really have no intelligence, just blindly obeying some kind of instructions from nowhere.

But the herd was briefly dazed, then gathered again, and flew towards other buoyant cores.

It is impossible for the base to turn off all the buoyancy cores, otherwise it will crash down at the fastest speed.

At this moment, the herd of beasts is basically concentrated near each buoyancy core, which makes it impossible to use the heavy fire weapons that can cause the most effective damage to alien beasts.

Floating lights that have been extinguished or kept flickering are like fragile balloons in the hands of children at this moment. They will break if they are touched, but they are firmly dragging this crumbling city.

It is no longer as stable as before, just like a small boat sailing in the wind and waves, swaying, as if it may sink into the sea of ​​clouds at any time, carrying hundreds of thousands of human beings into a situation of eternal doom.

Finally, this human base made a difficult decision.

——The whole city was forced to land.

The human base, which has been floating in the air for more than 50 years, will return to the ground during the invasion of the beast horde.

The buoyancy core is on the floating city, and the buoyancy foundation is buried in the ground, and they are connected by buoyancy columns to prop up the entire city in suspension.

Because of this, the floating city cannot move, and if it wants to return to the ground, it can only land vertically.

If the buoyancy system is not damaged in normal times, the landing must be very safe, but now that the buoyancy system is damaged, the difficulty of forced landing will become very high.

The base broadcast sounded again, and the announcer's voice seemed to carry a kind of calmness as if facing death.

"This is the buoyancy system control center of the base. I regret to tell you at this moment that three of the seven buoyancy cores in the main city of the base have been damaged. The central buoyancy core is being attacked by alien beasts that are difficult to resist. The military can delay us very much. Limited, the base is about to start an emergency landing. Due to the severe damage to the buoyancy system, many functions are temporarily disabled. During the emergency landing, the base is difficult to maintain balance. Please find shelters and handrails as soon as possible, and be sure to stay away from all places close to the edge, and beware of high school falls. Estimated success rate of forced landing - 60.00% Seven."

The success rate of forced landing is 67%, so if it can be successful, what will you face after reaching the ground?

"I remember..." Ye Qing said with a trembling voice, "The drone only took a picture of the ground a few days ago, and black vines have grown under the base, and it has become a foggy area."

The shaking feeling under his feet became more and more intense.

The Floating Void City began to descend, and the feeling of weightlessness as if the heart was about to run out of the throat became very obvious at that moment, and the soul seemed to be leaving the body.

"There is no choice." Yi Shuyun pushed Ye Qing to the corner of the room, away from the desk and cabinet, supported the wall, and slowly squatted down.

Chai Yuening dragged Chu Ci and staggered to their side. She leaned forward and stood, subconsciously extending her arms to protect the person in front of her.

In the midst of the earth shaking, she heard screams, gunshots and curses, heavy objects falling to the ground, and glass shattering.

Everything seemed to be collapsing, and mist suddenly appeared in the house, and the vine branches were woven into cages, as if to protect them in it.

An anxious and worried voice came from Yi Shuyun's communicator.

"The city defense center is calling Dr. Yi!"

"Dr. Yi, where are you, Dr. Yi!"

"Are you okay? Please answer if you receive it!"

Yi Shuyun: "I...I'm fine."

"It's great that you're fine..." The person on the other end of the communicator was obviously relieved, and there were also gunshots on his side, and the screams and the howls of strange beasts intertwined in his ears, "Doctor, the base has approved your Application, Lieutenant Colonel Liu An is fully responsible for the trip to the base in the foggy area, and the fighter plane is about to arrive at the research institute."

"Thank you..." Yi Shuyun responded with a gloomy expression, and finally a complicated smile appeared on his face.

"Doctor, the base hopes...the base hopes that you can go together."

"why?"

"The drone has detected the gathering of beasts on the ground. If the base can't survive, at least... at least you should be alive. You are the one who knows all the research on the floating city over the years. Both the fog zone base and the dungeon base need you, human beings I still need you."

"..."

At that moment, there seemed to be a moment of silence in the chaotic world.

After the silence, Chai Yuening heard Yi Shuyun's trembling voice asking back: "How many people can be transferred? Why don't we evacuate in the direction of the underground city?"

The response from the other end was very cruel: "Doctor, what we are facing is an alien beast with the ability to fly at extreme speed. If there is no such sample for breath protection, the speed of the fighter plane cannot match them. If the base can make a successful forced landing, we still have a chance to fight." However, if the evacuation is organized, the fighter planes will be attacked in the air, which may be more dangerous than staying at the base and waiting for rescue, and you can only be truly safe if you go to the base in the fog area with them."

The people at the Floating Void City base still don't know that the destination of this fighter plane is not the fog zone base from the very beginning, but the depths of the fog zone, which is thousands of times more dangerous than the fog zone base, and it can even be said to be the source of all disasters.

If the base hadn't considered evacuating to the dungeon, then this would definitely be a meaningless evacuation.

Yi Shuyun fell silent.

Chai Yuening quickly said: "We can go to the base in the foggy area first."

Yi Shuyun: "Not enough, not enough time, not enough fuel consumption..."

She can't trade the hope of human beings for her own and Ye Qing's lives.

Yi Shuyun bit his lower lip, pressed the communicator again, and replied very calmly: "Then I won't leave."

City Defense Center: "Doctor?!"

"When you reach the ground, you can use heavy weapons..." Yi Shuyun said, looking up at Ye Qing beside him, his eyes were rare and gentle, as if comforting, "We will wait for rescue."

Ye Qing nodded, she had enough trust in Yi Shuyun to give her life.

The human base sank into the sea of ​​clouds.

The drone, which was damaged but not crashed by the alien beast, was still patrolling the island that was about to sink in the sky.

If someone stood in the monitoring room, they would see how this behemoth fell vertically.

It was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the only four remaining buoyancy columns were constantly flashing golden electric light under the huge pressure. The huge city tried hard to maintain its balance, but it still couldn't stop shaking.

The light paper dances with the wind for a short time, but eventually sinks to the ground.

The human beings who fell out of the guardrail were like butterflies with broken wings in the sky. One after another, heavy objects passed by them, or fell towards their already homeless bodies like falling rocks.

At that moment, everything fell down like a meteor.

The city seemed to be shattering, and the people and things that fell were just the broken shell peeled off in its dying struggle.

And below it, the herd looked up at what was happening.

Alien beasts are eager to devour human genes, and they have been looking forward to the fall of this city.

Chai Yuening and Chu Ci were pushed into the fighter plane by Yi Shuyun amidst the violent shaking of the forced landing in the city, the deafening mechanical roar, and the countless gunshots.

The moment the plane flew away from the floating city, she looked back at the huge city that was about to touch the ground, and at the hordes of strange beasts on the ground 2000 meters away, she couldn't help but feel desolate in her heart.

She thought that the landing of the floating city would definitely shake the earth.

——As stubborn and firm as the will of life to survive.

If possible, she hopes that this is not the last time she looks at the city from a distance.
