Chapter 635: Let Me Level Up First
The weak Lao Jiang stepped from the West Sea into the rotten sea of the wasteland. When he landed, he was swallowed by the cold sea water with extremely high salinity. In the abyss near the heart of the wasteland, the scene was as horrific and exaggerated as ever.
In the dark sea water, countless radioactive worms are lurking.
They parade around the underwater cave where the heart of the swarm is located, shuttling between various nests, and the lowest-level murloc-like radioactive worms are carrying worm eggs.
Huge sea monster-like creatures were guarding all around.
Although there are no other living creatures besides themselves in this sea of rot, these radioactive worms still remain extremely vigilant as they swim around.
This can perhaps be called the talent of the "war race".
They are definitely not easy to deal with, and given the current state of wasteland civilization, it would be a complete disaster if some of these guys took the initiative to attack.
"This is the situation. I'm sorry that things have to be brought forward, but there's really no time left for you to take your time."
Surrounded by the evil spirit of his inner demon Xiao Jiang, Lao Jiang flashed forward towards the underwater cave while informing Rogge of the current situation during the communication.
The leader of the Black Hand Society listened quietly to the current situation in Ku Mu Realm.
He did not object or lose control of the unexpected situation.
"If you have to, release it."
Black Fox said :
"This is not your fault, it's just an unexpected situation. If the will of the Lord of the Wilderness in the Sin Abyss of the Bitter Wood Realm is released, the entire star group may be affected.
Although these radioactive insects are "destroyers in disguise", they are also destroyers under the command of the Lord of the Wasteland .
If the situation on your side gets out of control, even if the Heart of the Wasteland is still there, it will probably be difficult to suppress the attack of the radioactive worms. In this case, while it is still under control, take the initiative to detonate this mine."
Rogge's answer was so logically clear and meticulous that even Lao Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
Among all the current presidents of the World Tree Group, Black Fox is indeed the one who understands the big picture the most. He has always behaved very appropriately in this regard and knows exactly what to do and when.
"After I seize the Heart of the World, I should be able to suppress the radiation worms for a while."
Lao Jiang jumped into the trench cave and entered the red warm waters shrouded by underground magma. As he headed towards the strange rock at the heart of the world, he said to Rogge:
"I will try to buy you as much time as possible. If you need any help, just tell me now."
"What is most needed is definitely a large number of Eden players to support the City of Bliss."
At this critical moment, Rogge was not polite.
Black Fox said directly:
"Once the suppression of the World Heart weakens, the radioactive worms in the Sea of Decay will definitely attack the City of Bliss first. I don't expect those hedonistic rubbish to be able to resist them.
That coastal city could fall within a week.
Once a city is destroyed, it is destroyed, but the population within it is a very important resource.
I want the Navigation Center to release the wasteland world DLC of "Heart of the Swarm" immediately!
And they mobilized a large number of players to enter the wasteland. Only they have the ability to bring my people back to the Black Hand controlled area before the City of Bliss is destroyed by the Zerg. "
"That's easy. The Central is already processing the request. The new DLC will be released within 24 hours after the Heart of the World is seized. You need to prepare the vehicles for the players.
Aren’t the three Eden landing craft that went to the West Sea before over there?
Use them for rescue operations. It is best to set up your Black Hand Society's frontline positions and refugee camps outside the City of Bliss in advance."
Lao Jiang took out the Xuantian sword from his storage ring and waved it demonstratively at the Queen of Radiation Worms entrenched on the World Stone.
The queen in front of him, who looked ferocious like a black sea dragon, was not so submissive this time. It was probably because Lao Jiang came at an untimely time and she was not in the spawning period.
Therefore, the strength is not weak, but in its prime.
Facing Lao Jiang's intimidation, the queen of the insect swarm roared and waved her two huge claws. In her spider-like compound eyes under the shell on her head, the light of guarding the "holy relic" was flickering.
Perhaps because she felt "humiliated" for being frightened by the sharp breath last time, the queen behaved very aggressively this time. She was unwilling to hand over the "holy object" of the radioactive worm to the human in front of her.
"idiot."
Jiang Xia didn't have the time to play games with this silly queen. He curled his lips and threw down the Ming Snake puppet wrapped around his arm. The big lazy snake also knew that the situation was critical and every second counted.
At this moment, he put away his lazy attitude, landed on the ground, transformed into a hundred-foot-tall true body, and pounced towards the queen of radioactive insects.
The two giant beasts fought each other, roaring and rolling, squeezing and crushing the glowing insect eggs that were scattered throughout the sea cave, letting the sticky and disgusting liquid merge into the sea water.
Lao Jiang stood in front of the "Queen's Throne", looking at the huge rock embedded in the seabed, emitting a faint blue light. He stretched out his hand and touched the rock.
Feel the joyful beating of the heart of the wasteland and the long-awaited emotions.
“According to the experience of the Red Moon Realm, a giant tree will grow at the heart of the wasteland. Its shape may be different from that of the Red Moon Tree, but its nature is the same.
It will exist as a new container for the Heart of the World.
Once born, they will be regarded as the base camp and sacred object by the radioactive worms, and will also be the ultimate goal of all strategies of the wastelanders. "
Before taking the Heart of the Wasteland, Boss Jiang carefully warned Rogge:
“This war between humans and radioactive worms must have an end. Either the worms completely destroy human civilization, or you unite and plant your flags under the new World Tree.
There will be no third outcome.
You told me before that the wasteland is the wasteland of the wastelanders, and you don't want the Eden people to interfere too much, so cheer up. The era of war in the wasteland is coming, I am the initiator, and you are the only bystander.
No matter whether the wasteland ends well or badly, you have become the only legend on this land.
Roger Fittals.
Your grandfather left the seeds of civilization to this world. You have stepped out of his shadow, and it is time to record your story in a new chapter.
Just like Helya, you will also take up the banner of the savior.
Are you ready? "
"Everyone living in this wasteland is a bunch of trash, and I am one of them."
There was a crisp sound of Rogge's lighter lighting a cigarette. He breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:
"How can garbage be a savior? We don't need a savior. If this is a war, then we are all soldiers and the only thing we have to do is to win.
I will begin my conquest in the name of a general.
Don't ask me if I'm ready, boss. We wastelanders are used to accidents. They are part of our lives. Let's get started. I'm honored to be a spectator of this scene."
"As expected of you, even your pretense is so fresh and refined."
Boss Jiang laughed.
In his sea of consciousness, the first branch of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, dotted with wasteland flowers and emitting star-like light spots, extended along Lao Jiang's body and surged in the palm of his right hand.
The moment he came into contact with the Heart of the Wasteland, Lao Jiang's eyes were once again filled with milky white starlight, and the entire historical picture of the wasteland opened before his eyes.
But to be honest, it's lackluster.
This world without spiritual energy is destined to not give birth to those horrifying or magical things.
It is just a straightforward history.
In this rapidly floating world picture, Lao Jiang saw the night when the Mohist practitioners came to this world more than two thousand years ago.
They were very disappointed with this barren world and left behind only the star array in the former grassland before leaving.
After tremendous changes, the grassland where the star array was stored has turned into a dead desert. Only the palace built by the residents for these outsiders has weathered into ruins.
He saw the shabby, high-tech spaceship falling into the wasteland ocean from outside the world amidst billowing black smoke, and then being surrounded and salvaged by fleets from various countries.
He also saw Lewis Fittals's research on mechanical life and the bold experiments of that group of suicidal scientists.
He saw Lewis throwing a ball of glowing matter from the research vessel into the sea, the mechanical invasion that followed, and the destructive night scene of the nuclear war.
He saw the first group of bewildered wastelanders walking out of the shelter in the devastated world ten years after the nuclear war that destroyed the earth's surface.
These stories, which were all known to Lao Jiang, did not affect him at all.
But at the end of the scroll, Boss Jiang's perspective suddenly changed, from human civilization to the perspective of radioactive worms.
Compared with the nearly ten thousand years of human history, the history of these new lives is pitifully short .
Only in that fleeting glimpse did Lao Jiang see the mysterious substance that Lewis had thrown into the sea before the nuclear war. It looked like a small piece of fungal carpet.
It fell into the sea, into the abyss, as if pulled by some force, and covered the stone of the heart of the world.
It began to gain strength, to grow, to expand.
In the violent atomic radiation that filled the world during the nuclear war, this fungal blanket grew rapidly and, as a parasite, infected the first marine life in the abyss.
That night was the end of the destruction of human civilization and the beginning of insect civilization.
In the next ten years, they expanded rapidly. While the wastelanders came out of the shelters and began to rebuild the world, the radioactive worms were also accumulating their strength in the shadows.
They gave birth to the first queen, built the first nest, and hatched the first batch of true Zerg Primarchs.
Even with the suppression and guidance , it still could not isolate them from their curiosity and prying eyes about the outside world. They sent out "pioneers" and established weak strongholds in various areas of the wasteland.
This is not war.
This is just a reconnaissance of future enemies. They must fully understand what their enemies are like before the inevitable war.
They already know it.
The wastelanders are weak, depraved and pathetic.
The radiated worms are powerful and pure, and they evolve in unity.
Those hairless monkeys have no right to occupy the land under the sun, so...
"Let the war begin!"
Lao Jiang sighed and retracted his right hand. In his sea of consciousness, at the top of the wasteland branch of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the flower buds representing the wasteland world had blossomed and borne fruit.
Just like the scene when the red moon flower is in full bloom, in front of Lao Jiang's soul, fruits grew on the top of the wasteland branches, weighing down the branches, just hanging in front of Lao Jiang's eyes.
The fruit is black and white.
It symbolizes the twin civilizations of the wasteland world, which is the gift given to Lao Jiang by the Heart of the Wasteland.
It is also its request.
Who will dominate the wasteland civilization in the future? This is a gradual evolution of this world.
It is asking Lao Jiang not to interfere. The Seven Treasures Mystical Tree can integrate the wasteland into the new system, but the development of civilization in the wasteland is ultimately the business of this world.
"Well, this is a bribe for me."
Boss Jiang laughed, he reached out and picked the black and white fruit.
Just like in the Red Moon Realm, in the wasteland abyss, amid the roar and fury of the giant beasts fighting for supremacy, Jiang Xia opened his eyes and looked at the fruit in his palm.
He raised his hand, put the fruit into his mouth, and bit it with a crunch.
Well, it’s not as sweet as the red moon fruit. It’s a bit sour and has a slightly bitter aftertaste, but on the tip of the tongue, the bitterness is followed by sweetness.
It is very similar to the past, present and future of this world.
