Chapter 136: Jesjak Prepares to Explode
Chapter 136: Jesjak Prepares to Explode
Dozens of trucks equipped with thick armor and carrying nearly a thousand people rushed towards the military factory in a long line.
The Chaos Beasts around who were watching the group of vehicles began to roar, and then the howling sounds around them became more and more intense, as they came in droves from all directions.
The guards standing on the car even roared so loudly that they drowned out the sound of gunfire.
Although the crowd was not afraid of danger and was not frightened by the roar of the terrifying beasts, their passion alone could not stop them from coming.
Creatures with mutated body shapes, such as the dog-leopard, are more adapted to running. Their slender but strange bodies seem to fly close to the ground.
Many of them even climb and jump between buildings. Those obstacles and the distance between buildings are not a problem for them at all.
Even more annoying were the flying creatures with their thin fleshy wings; they even picked up the smaller mutant creatures and threw them at the convoy.
Even though those little creatures are only the size of a fist or a football, their sharp claws and teeth can still cut through legs that are not covered with armor.
When a creature with a chitinous shell on its head, like a rhinoceros, appeared on the side of the vehicle, it knocked the vehicle off the lane with a "bang".
The driver failed to operate the car in time and crashed directly into the house. The soldiers in the car were thrown to the ground and had no time to get up.
He was bitten on the arm by the Chaos Beast that jumped up. He fired randomly in panic, but the lives taken were all those of his own guards.
"How far is it!?" Lin Heng asked.
"Right away! Just turn the corner!"
Orwell turned the steering wheel and the truck drifted out with a squeaking sound.
"Watch out! There's going to be a car crash!" Orwell shouted.
Then the chaotic creatures besieging the military factory jumped high and slammed into the cab.
Lin Heng kicked him out, and he rolled twice on the ground and was run over by the truck, exploding into pieces.
The guards of the military factory quickly opened the door to welcome them, and the twin high-energy laser cannons on several sentry towers immediately burst into roars.
Dozens of rocket launchers jumped onto the city wall and bombarded the beasts around the truck. There were even hundreds of soldiers throwing hundreds of grenades together.
The heavily guarded military factory showed its strength at this moment. The area around the factory immediately fell into dire straits, and it felt like explosions were happening everywhere.
A large number of chaotic creatures were blown to pieces. After a roar in which nothing could be heard, the surrounding buildings collapsed.
The air was filled with smoke, and in the smoke that made it impossible to see clearly, apart from the pungent smell of gunpowder, the only thing left was the disgusting smell of bloody and stinky meat.
The crowd swayed all the way through the bumpy road and finally arrived at the military factory.
Lin Heng got out of the car and immediately began to mark the location of the blasting point, and asked people to quickly bring all the explosives they could collect.
"If you want to live, hurry up! No one should just sit there!"
Orwell even started carrying explosives to the upper floors of the factory.
Lin Heng should have been happy seeing more and more explosives, but among the thousands of people at the scene, he couldn't find anyone who knew how to perform a targeted blast.
They are all piled together, and even if there is an explosion, it cannot blow up the rock layer of more than 700 meters.
If they failed at once, it would take them several days to clear the collapsed rocks alone, not to mention the rock tops that were higher up.
"There aren't enough bombs!"
Lin Heng believed that more explosives were needed. Seven or eight hundred kilograms were not enough, and more needed to be borrowed from other military factories.
"It's not that easy. We lost more than a dozen vehicles along the way. If we go back and forth, the entire convoy will be lost.
What's more, for unknown reasons, the energy engines of most military factories stopped working one after another.
The fact that our factory is still alive is thanks to the engineer you found back then." Orwell shouted.
Engineer? Lin Heng couldn't remember who that person was. The long period of wandering was really too much of a drain on his energy.
So I had to open my mouth and ask, "What engineer?"
"It's the guy named Yak. He was the one who helped us complete the task of destroying the factory."
As soon as Orwell said that, Lin Heng remembered who that person was. It was the first person he met when he arrived at Xiachao by chance.
We had contact a few more times afterwards, and after I helped him arrange work, we had no further contact.
Although this is a good situation, it is not something to cheer about right now.
"It's a pity that this kid has a problem with his brain. He keeps talking about souls and machines for no reason.
He is a weird person, few people like him, and he likes to lie on the engine when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't mind the heat.
Orwell just treated it as idle talk, but Lin Heng didn't think so when he heard it.
This is clearly sensing the machine soul in the energy engine! Does this Yake have some magical ability?
Lin Heng quickly asked Orwell to take him to find this person. More than ten minutes later, as Orwell expected, he found him in front of the huge engine.
At this moment, the other party was placing his palm on the engine that was nearly 100 meters high, with a calm and very happy expression on his face.
As if sensing the arrival of the two people, Yak opened his eyes and looked at Lin Heng.
"Long time no see. He sensed your presence and asked Chief Orwell to mention me."
Lin Heng felt that the other party had changed a lot. He was no longer the panic-stricken person he used to be. Instead, he began to take everything calmly.
This time, Lin Heng was the one who was surprised, because he felt that the engine that was constantly working was sending him an invitation.
But because it seems to be limited by its own structure, there is just a sense of ethereality.
"Come on, feel it." Yak said with a smile.
Lin Heng stepped forward solemnly, stretched out his hand and touched the metal shell just like Yak did, and then a soft feeling like a spring breeze passed through his face.
Lin Heng opened his eyes wide instantly. This was the first time he felt the existence of the machine soul so clearly.
Seeing the two men acting weird, Orwell stepped forward and touched the engine.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
"I*!"
Orwell cried out in pain. He could feel the heat as he approached the engine. Although he was very confused, he still trusted the two men.
But the result was that he pressed it on the iron plate without any preparation, and immediately it made the sound of grilling meat.
"I****,*****!"
Lin Heng felt a moment of anger, like a child who was angry.
But seeing that Orwell's palm was bloody, he quickly stepped forward and released his spiritual power to help him heal the wound.
At this time, Lin Heng didn't care about psychic power or anything like that, but he didn't understand why this engine hated him so much.
Did the machine spirit hear him saying bad things about Yak?
"What the hell is going on between you two? I*!"
"I'm sorry, Chief Orwell, but Lin Heng, you felt it, right?" Yakson said.
"Yes, a very gentle machine soul. How do you feel about it?" Lin Heng asked.
Yake smiled and touched it again and said:
"I don't know. Ever since I came to this military factory according to your instructions, I have been maintaining this nuclear energy engine.
Because of you, I work extremely hard. I check the entire system every day and mark every screw.
Suddenly one day, I felt like someone was talking to me, and when I was sure it was the engine in front of me, I was shocked.
I hesitated for a long time before I finally dared to touch it. I thought my palm would be burned, but it felt like touching a baby's belly.
That feeling can't be described in words, I think you know what I mean."
Lin Heng was of course aware of the situation, but now he was considering how to rush to the Nest Tower and wait for Helton's Chaos Army to assemble.
We can only go to the bottom nest to live a hard life, and then you will have to say goodbye to it.
“This is a very useful skill, but now the crisis in the hive is getting worse and worse, basically beyond anyone’s control.
If we don't find a way to deal with the culprit, everyone will either die or turn into mindless chaotic creatures."
Yake's expression darkened, and he nodded.
"I understand. Jace Ark has told me. This is his name, Jace Ark.
A few months ago he said he had felt something very unpleasant, something that had prompted a change.
Later, the changes in the hive city also confirmed his statement, which plunged me into an abyss of panic and despair.
But every time it was Jace Ark who woke me up, so this time I wanted to protect him and fulfill his wish."
The few machine souls that Lin Heng came into contact with that still had memories were all very short-lived, and the emotions in them were more like some kind of sudden revelation.
It's not like an engine at all. It's like it's talking to you, and you can feel the other person's emotions so clearly.
"So what do you mean?"
"I will overload the engine, and Jace Ark will channel the energy to help you break through the rock layer."
"*!"
Lin Heng really couldn't help but swear. Not only did the engine seem to be aware of his thoughts, the most important thing was the calmness with which Jack said this.
Bro, no, this, huh?
"Are you..are you sure?"
Lin Heng was so surprised that he completely lost the ability to think. He couldn't understand how a person could say such words.
"The situation has come to a head, and Jace Ark has sensed the gathering of those evil creatures.
We won’t have time to go on. I was able to experience a miraculous scene and I am already very satisfied.
I don't want to see him become evil either. He said you are very strong, and your soul is the most tenacious he has ever seen.
The direction of the war is still up to you!"
...
An hour later, Lin Heng looked at the military factory getting farther and farther away, feeling mixed emotions.
Are people fragile or strong? How strong can their spirit be to be able to face their own death calmly?
Maybe this is also the reason why Yakta was chosen by the machine soul.
