Chapter 779 – Race Against Time
Daxia.
Sinking Dragon Pass.
Within the yet to be completed steel pass, a group of people were busily working feverishly in the collapsed communication tower, while on the side, the night watchmen and the military garrison teams were carrying out their daily inspections in a well-organized manner.
In the construction progress of the entire Sinking Dragon Pass, the outermost steel fence was the first place to be completed, followed by the middle level of more than four hundred thermal weapons storage and installation points, and then the internal general control room and other core management territories, so far, only 10% of the internal area is still under construction.
When this last 10% of the area is completed, Sinking Dragon Pass can be officially put into use, turn on the [War Mode], and become the most frontline war pass in the East Sea of Daxia.
Lu Qiu stood on top of the steel fence, overlooking the communication tower that was still under repair, and for some reason, his heart was vaguely uneasy.
He turned his head back and gazed through the binoculars in his hand at the misty border rolling in the distance.
It should …… not be such a coincidence, right?
Lu Qiu stood there for a long time and put down the binoculars in his hands, just as he took a long breath and adjusted his mind, a thunderous explosion erupted from the distant misty border!
Lu Qiu’s pupils contracted violently.
He quickly picked up his binoculars and looked up to the distant Misty Border, only to see that in the invisible city wall that stood before the mists, a single thin black dot sprinted out from the mists, skimming across the surface at an astonishing speed, coming towards this place like a wave!
Behind them, there was a monstrous wave that was hundreds of meters high!
This giant wave was like a large hand that covered the sky, completely drowning the clear sky overhead, and everything around it dimmed.
That was ……
Lu Qiu looked at the countless black dots that came along with the huge wave, and a horrified look appeared on his face!
A beast tide!
It was another beast tide!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Qiu instantly picked up his walkie-talkie and shouted into the Sinking Dragon Pass:
”Directly in front of the Misty Border, a large-scale ‘mysterious’ wave has appeared! It’s approaching here at a rapid pace!
’Mysterious’ are still appearing from the mists in a steady stream, the total amount is incalculable, it’s likely to be another catastrophic level beast wave! Everyone enter a level one state of alert!”
His voice echoed within the Sinking Dragon Pass, and everyone busy within the pass at the moment froze at the same time, followed by a look of disbelief appearing in their eyes!
How was this possible?
The second catastrophe level beast tide …… is actually really coming?
At this moment, the expert standing in the crowd’s face completely changed, he never thought that he just said two hours ago that it couldn’t be so coincidental, and now he was instantly hit in the face …… But he couldn’t figure out no matter what, the first beast tide had already passed for so long, why did it happen so coincidentally, and picked the attack at the time when they had an accident in Sinking Dragon Pass Lu Qiu already couldn’t care less.
Lu Qiu couldn’t care so much anymore, a green aura blossomed on his body, and his figure transformed into a phantom shadow as he leaped down directly from the hundred-meter-high city wall, swept towards the inside of the Sinking Dragon Pass like a shock.
”Fang Zuo, how’s the communication tower salvage going?!” Lu Qiu’s figure landed on the ground and anxiously asked the night watchman at the side.
”Not yet!” Fang Zuo knew how dire the situation was, and spoke solemnly, “It’s only been two hours since the start of the repairs, and it’s simply not enough time to restore communication ……”
”Damn it!”
Lu Qiu looked at the sky that was gradually darkening in the distance, and cursed angrily, “This group of external gods, did they calculate the time to come?”
”What should we do now?” Fang Zuo asked with a frown, “Communication hasn’t been restored, there’s no signal at all on this sea, we can’t even send a message to the headquarters if we want to ……
Now that the Sinking Dragon Pass is not yet completed, the battle force is insufficient, if the Sinking Dragon Pass cannot play the role of early warning, then won’t the situation of half a year ago repeat itself again?”
Lu Qiu’s face was gloomy.
”With our current battle power, and the stockpile of thermal weapons within the Sinking Dragon Pass, how much time can we delay at most?”
Fang Zuo thought for a moment and said, “Da Xia doesn’t have many Night Watchmen to begin with, and with a portion of them drawn from it and then spread out to the twelve yet-to-be-built Class A War Passes, there are only an average of five to six Night Watchmen per pass, so in the face of a beast tide of this magnitude, they simply don’t have the ability to fight head-on.
Relying on the military’s thermal weapon stockpile, and Sinking Dragon Pass’s own defense force, we can delay it for up to four minutes ……”
”Counting the time the beast tide came here from the Misty Border, it’s a total of five minutes.” Lu Qiu glanced at the time, his eyes flickering with essence.
”The distance from Sinking Dragon Pass to the edge of the signal coverage along the coast of Daxia is about three hundred and sixty kilometers, even if I were to set off from Sinking Dragon Pass right now, in the case of using the ‘Ghost and God Leader’ to overdraw my potential, it would take me at least four and a half minutes to cross such a long distance… …
And even if we enter the signal coverage area and send a message to the headquarters to mobilize manpower to head here, it will still take a long time, so this is simply not enough time!”
Lu Qiu’s voice paused for a moment, and his words changed.
”But what if, I head north?”
”North?” Fang Zuo froze, “You mean ……”
”As long as you fly three hundred and twenty kilometers further north, it’s Da Xia’s A-010 War Pass, [Tu Jiao]!” Lu Qiu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, “The communication equipment of Tu Jiao Pass can be utilized normally, as long as I arrive at Tu Jiao Pass, not only can I send back a message to Da Xia at the first time, the Tu Jiao Pass side can also immediately send additional manpower to come to the aid of Sinking Dragon Pass!
This is the optimal solution for now!”
Fang Zuo opened his mouth, “But if you use the ‘Ghost God Lead’, won’t you ……”
”This is not the time to talk about this.” Lu Qiu took a deep breath and pulled out a shining crest from his bosom, cupping it in his hand, a flash of determination in his eyes, and
”Once the Sinking Dragon Pass is lost, the consequences will be clear to you and I. Since Da Xia has already created these passes, we must let them play their proper role ……
Among the several night watchmen stationed here, I am the fastest, only I can pass on the situation of Sinking Dragon Pass in the shortest possible time, and as the temporary head of this pass, I also bear the mission of surviving with it.
Fang Zuo, if the Sinking Dragon Pass is defended …… When I go back, you help me to check on Pomelo, I haven’t been home for half a year, and he just happens to be in a rebellious period recently, if I find that he’s gone off on a tangent, you’ll have to help me to bring him back on the right track.”
Fang Zuo opened his mouth, and after a long time, he sighed helplessly and nodded heavily.
”Good.”
Lu Qiu closed his eyes, his fingertips dabbed at the crest, and a tiny needle popped out and pierced between his palms.
Lu Qiu’s body trembled, and his entire realm climbed!
He opened his eyes, a piercing green aura erupted around his body, his feet stomped hard on the ground, and his entire person transformed into a streak of shadow, disappearing at the end of the sky!
Fang Zuo watched him leave, a look of sadness flashing through his eyes, but he quickly pressed down this emotion, adjusting his mind and calmly commanding:
”Everyone! Immediately head to the walls of Sinking Dragon Pass!”
