Cataclysm King Chapter 356

 Chapter 356 Evacuated the Super Machinery Factory

 Two days later.

A hill fifty kilometers away from the outskirts of Tailong Machinery City.

Three figures were hidden in the darkness, carefully observing the war camp that stretched for more than ten kilometers in the distance.

The camp was lit up by bonfires, and various war flags with dragon patterns were flying on the tops of large and small tents.

 That is the headquarters of the 400,000 legions in the southern continent.

From time to time, dragons with huge fleshy wings flew by in the sky, and dragon roars and strong winds roared past.

“The one flying in the sky is the 'Pterodactyl'. Its night vision capability is comparable to that of a thermal imager. It can easily detect traces of human activities within a radius of several kilometers in the sky.”

"Also, the investigation team is usually equipped with 'corrupt dragonborn', and those guys have a very keen sense of smell. Moreover, the investigation team is a joint defense system. Once one of the teams is killed, it will be noticed immediately. So there is a risk of sneaking in. Very big.”

“The Southern Continental Army has now blocked Tailong Machinery City, and the risk of entry and exit is extremely high. Judging from the intelligence, the assembly should be completed in the next few days, and a general attack will be launched within seven days at the latest.”

 This is the opportunity Ji Xun is waiting for.

 The Iris Legion in front of them is the elite of the direct lineage of the Red Dragon Royal Family, and its personnel and equipment are all high-end.

After carefully observing the various flags on the camp, Ji Xun added: "And what is certain now is that at least two eighth-level marshal-level masters have arrived. It is already clear that the deputy commander of the Iris Legion "Fire Demon" Ferunde, and "Iron Wing" Paris of the Iron Wings Legion. More than a dozen legion commanders and deputy legion commanders are also veteran seventh-level powerhouses. Once exposed, there is almost no chance of escape."

 He knew how many bombardments there were every day at Tailong Machinery City.

At the center of the crater is an enchanted warhead.

This kind of artillery shells are basically impossible to break through the military boundaries in the Southern Continental Army Camp. Only occasionally a few unlucky guys who have no time to hide will be hit.

Qin Ru felt that if she really wanted to do it alone, she really planned to sneak in all the way.

Dong Qi on the side also said: "Then how are we going to enter the city now?"

 Super long-range artillery like this is usually a conventional projectile artillery.

Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells will fall on military camps in the Southern Continent every day.

 The greater meaning is consumption.

 Because the Southern Continent's army is almost all dragon-born, it is very difficult for spies to infiltrate, so the acquisition of intelligence is also very limited.

Upon hearing this, both Dong Qi and Qin Rusu cast doubtful glances.

If it doesn't work, just force it through.

Ji Xun has been in the Southern Continent Army for a short time and is very familiar with the legion system.

 At the same time, she was really impressed by Ji Xun's intelligence ability.

 Compared with the magic energy crystal cores that are consumed to form a barrier, the cost of artillery launches is countless times lower.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exaggerated and muffled thunderous noises from the horizon: "Boom, boom, boom".

He looked serious, and then said: "Let's go now!"

 It is a coincidence that at this moment, there was a thunderous explosion.

People in the Southern Continent seemed to be used to it, and they hid in areas covered by barriers.

Because they had to avoid artillery fire, the pterosaur scouts in the sky disappeared in an instant.

However, this kind of artillery battle was not originally expected to destroy the enemy.

 Also clearly analyze the situations that may be encountered next.

Qin Ru, who was beside him, listened and nodded seriously, saying, "Yes."

Magic energy artillery only has considerable lethality within a certain distance. The farther the distance, the greater the energy attenuation.

As soon as the words fell, the three people quickly rushed into the temporary chaos caused by the roaring artillery fire.

Looking closely, one cannonball hit the barrier, causing ripples.

Ji Xun looked at the sky in the distance and said, "Wait."

 Now it seems that the risk is extremely high.

 But in fact, countless reconnaissance teams have surrounded the city.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xun and the others saw patches of blue light barriers appearing in the sky above the Nanda Road military camp in the distance.

The three of them had just run out far when a cannonball suddenly landed a hundred meters away, blasting a large hole dozens of meters in diameter.

The military force assembled on Nanda Road has reached a point where it sounds like there is no chance of winning.

 Don't expect much accuracy for artillery fifty kilometers away. It only provides one fire coverage.

Although an army of 400,000 was not enough to completely surround the huge city of Tyrone.

Ji Xun had obtained detailed information about the battlefield frontline before he came.

 The shells were like raindrops.

However, he never expected that Ji Xun would tell all the conditions of the camps in the distance like a treasure trove.

Ji Xun added: "Wait for the bombardment."

With the help of Qin Ru's secret skills from the Xian family, and Ji Xun's familiarity with the enemy's reconnaissance regiment, the three of them also took advantage of the movement covered by artillery fire to sneak in quietly.

Although early warning traps were triggered on the way, they ignored them and accelerated their dash.

In the end, he managed to get within five kilometers of Talen Machinery City without any risk.

This is already the fire coverage area of ​​close-range anti-artillery, and the card divisions of the southern continent do not dare to set foot easily.

 It's basically safe here.

Morton City is the largest mechanical city in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland. It is a heavy industrial city.

 In addition to the main city, there are dozens of large and small mechanical cities.

 These days, this city has experienced more than a dozen siege battles, large and small.

 When Ji Xun and the others arrived, the city was already in a mess.

 The railway network has been destroyed, with blackened craters and scrapped mechanical combat vehicles everywhere.

Visible to the naked eye, there is a huge city in the distance with bright lights.

 The shelling continued.

 The three of them looked up and saw countless dense sparks flashing across the city.

The three of them walked another two kilometers under the cover of night. When they raised their eyes, the city of Tailong came into view.

It was a giant steel city with walls hundreds of meters high.

The towering chimneys are like giant fingers, poking into the gray sky, constantly spitting out thick smoke.

The city wall is made of thick and huge iron plates spliced ​​together with rivets. It is covered with mottled rust and pits left by the war.

 The most exaggerated thing is the densely packed countless artillery pieces!

 There are many super cannons with muzzles several meters in diameter and barrels extending tens of meters.

　Like the spikes of a hedgehog.

 The entire city is purely a war fortress.

Ji Xun has seen the photo in the newspaper before.

 Seeing this exaggerated mechanical city with my own eyes, I was deeply shocked.

This kind of dark punk-style mechanical city gives people an indescribable sense of magic.

At this moment, the countless artillery pieces were firing intensively, and the firelight flickered.

 The endless outpouring of firepower seemed to temporarily dispel the fear of war.

 The instinctive awe of power arises deep in Ji Xun's soul.

 Personal power in front of this kind of war machine is really like seeing a god, small and powerless.

Just as he was thinking about it, the guards in the Mechanical Guard City not far away also spotted the three of them.

At this juncture, no one would come to Tailong City to die. When they found out who was coming, a small group of people from the Mechanical City took the initiative to greet them.

Ji Xun knew that he was here to meet them.

The visitor asked from a distance: "Is it Xiao Qin?"

Qin Rusu also opened his cloak and was very surprised: "Uncle Lei, why did you come out of the city?"

The person who spoke opposite looked at Qin Rushi and sighed: "Hey, Xiao Qin, you shouldn't have come. Forget it, let's go to the city first."

 That was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a resolute face.

This is Marshal Raymond of the Federal Third Mechanic Division, now the battle commander of Tyrone City.

The Lei family used to be Qin Rushi's grandfather's old tribe, and the friendship between the two families cannot be explained in just a few words.

 Otherwise Qin Rushi would not have risked his life to come to the rescue.

Qin Rusui went to the city lord's mansion. She wanted to check some war information with the Lei family.

 Professional things should be done by professional people. Ji Xun doesn't know much about war command.

 He and Dong Qi went to the city.

There is one more thing to do when I come to Tailong City this time, which is to see the conditions of several super factories of the Song family.

If given the chance, he would try to see if he could take away some equipment and mechanics.

 The daily shelling continues.

 Walking on the streets of the city makes the experience more real.

In addition to the deafening sound, even the ground shook, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

Tailon City's main city and several mechanical cities have gathered more than a million troops and nearly two million residents.

Here is the largest and most numerous machinery factory in the Federation.

After the people of the Southern Continent discovered that small-scale charges could not break the city, they only used long-distance spells for many days and did not attack the city again.

 The residents of the city seem to have become accustomed to shelling.

 On the streets, hurried pedestrians wearing gas masks and mechanical equipment can be seen everywhere.

 Some shops are still open. Most of them are shops that modify machinery and sell arms, as well as official supply offices that sell black bread.

 Beside the windows of some houses, you can occasionally see some children who are curious about the war and look into the distance.

Ji Xun was walking on the street, with the blessing of a clown mask. He could clearly see the traces of negative emotions mixed with fear, despair, and pessimism permeating the city.

 It seems as if there is some mysterious force swallowing up this negative emotion, sucking it up like a thread, absorbing it to an unknown place.

Seeing this, Ji Xun murmured to himself: "The new king of Oran is really absorbing the law of fear."

 The power of the terrifying law, which is the convergence of millions of people's negative emotions, really makes people feel like a real thing, and they can clearly see how the law manifests itself in reality.

In this kind of environment, the efficiency of understanding the rules is definitely twice the result with half the effort.

Ji Xun is now in a higher rank, and he also vaguely understands the principle of this method.

It's not just the law of fear.

 Look carefully, and you can see the existence of certain rules for the operation of the universe everywhere, such as war, famine, gamblers, order, peace, money, kingship, and courage.

 Because the turmoil of the world is now before our eyes.

Ji Xun lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, thoughtfully.

 Previously, he only thought that this war was the promotion ceremony of Generalissimo Andre.

 It was later discovered that it was not just.

This war is like a raging torrent, and the card masters are just fish in the torrent.

  No matter how powerful the card master is, he is just a bigger fish.

Countless fish, all carried by the torrent, are swimming towards their destiny according to some irreversible trend.

 Initiating a war is more like opening a gate valve.

  Instead of creating the flood.

 Water is already there.

 It's just a pool of stagnant water accumulating in a low-lying area, and few people notice it.

As he walked, Ji Xun also felt and absorbed those negative emotions, and was in a very subtle state of enlightenment.

Unconsciously, the two of them arrived at No. 331 Hupowder Street, Beicheng District.

 There are dozens of factories, large and small, in this neighborhood.

 Several of the Song family's super factories are located here.

Dong Qi looked at it, pointed at a small foreign-style building with a signboard of "Dekai No. 1 Machinery Company", and said, "This is what Fatty Song told me."

The Song family has many properties. In order to deceive others, not all of them bear the name of the Song family.

This "Dekai Company" is one of them.

Ji Xun looked at it and nodded.

 The two of them walked in.

Because of the war, few people came to discuss business, and there was not even a welcome reception at the door.

 Or maybe he was sent home.

I contacted Song Can before and informed him that someone would be here to respond.

 But for safety reasons, I don't know if they will arrive today.

Ji Xun and Dong Qi went straight upstairs.

As soon as I came up, I heard a fierce argument coming from a room.

"Father, why are we still here? It's important to find a way to escape before the enemy attacks the city. Ordinary people don't know how powerful those people in the Southern Continent are, but I do. This time the city was almost destroyed. It's a sure thing, and the people from the Southern Continent will definitely massacre the city. If we don't find a way to leave, we'll have no chance.”

"The master of the house sent a message saying that someone will come to pick us up in the next few days. I will wait for them here."

"Head of the family? That fat man? How could he be where he is today, not because of his ancestors? What we are today in the Luo family is because of grandpa and your hard work, father, not the **** Song family!"

"Shut up! Without the Song family, your grandfather would still be a slave in the farmer's family! There would be no Luo family in Tailong City now!"

"Father, can you not see the situation clearly? Is there anyone who can enter the city now? Who will come to die? Even if someone does come, what will happen if they come?"

"Yes. Lao Luo, Zheng'er is right. There is still a chance to leave now. I heard from Mrs. Finn that there are people on the black market who have smuggling channels. As long as there are three boxes of gold coins, the gangsters can send people out of the city through the secret passage. . The price is rising all the time. I have asked someone to get a few places and I will sneak out of the city tonight."

“Yes, Father, what time is it now? Even if the grandma of the Song family is still here, she should be able to understand us, right?”

"Haha. I've also heard about the moonshine gang. They did send some people out before. But do you really think they only care about the little gold and will give up on the rich people who fled with all their wealth? What news? Once it spreads on a large scale, it will no longer be safe. And do you really think how many people can escape through a smuggling channel? "

 “But it's better than waiting to die”

"You don't need to tell me. I know the information in the city better than you. The factory equipment and the more than a thousand senior mechanics, including me, will follow the family's orders until the last moment as long as they are alive. As for your uncles If they want to run away, just leave them alone. I trust the arrangement of the family leader more than any gangster."

 “Father, you are so confused!”

Hearing the sound of glasses being smashed against the door, Ji Xun and Dong Qi outside the door looked at each other and showed a wry smile.

Without further ado, the two of them knocked on the door without any delay.

Happy, hard, hard!

There was a knock on the door, and rapid footsteps were heard immediately inside.

 The door was opened by a fat middle-aged man with a mustache.

 There are two women and a man in the house.

 A rich lady, a pretending girl, and a young man in a suit.

 Looks like a family of four.

The mustache looked at the two young people in front of him. It seemed that it was different from what he expected. He hesitated and asked: "Who are you?"

Ji Xun said calmly: "Mr. Luo, please, Song Can informed us to come over."

As soon as these words came out, the fat face of the mustache trembled with excitement and said: "You... are you really here?!"

 Although he believed in the Song family.

I dare not think that anyone can really come to rescue them when surrounded by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?

As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the room all looked in disbelief.

However, the young man in a suit dismissed them, glanced at Ji Xun and the other two, and said nothing.

That expression seemed to say: I want to see who the Song family has sent to solve this dead situation.

Looking at the token that Ji Xun took out, the mustachioed man became even more convinced, and hurriedly called out: "You two, please come in."

Ji Xun glanced at it and waved his hand: "During this special period, you don't have to be too polite. Just take us to the factory."

Looking at the momentum of Ji Xun and the other two, the mustached man also put away his doubts at first because he was too young, and said: "Okay! You two, please come this way."

 The general offensive will be launched in a few days. The ammunition and equipment in Tailong City are already very sufficient, and the factories have basically stopped working.

Song Can notified the Luo family in advance, and according to Ji Xun's request, some high-precision equipment was gathered in the underground bunker of the factory.

Ji Xun and Dong Qi followed the mustache all the way underground.

 Soon we arrived at the super factory of Dekai Company.

Pile here are several of the most advanced mechanical armor manufacturing lines in the entire Eastern Wasteland, as well as a team of high-precision instruments and equipment.

“You two, here are the equipment entrusted by the family, as well as the equipment downstairs and on the first floor.”

Hunted Hu didn't understand why Ji Xun and the two came to the factory to “inspect” when they first arrived, but he didn't ask any questions along the way.

 Now I have to ask.

These equipments would need to be loaded into hundreds of train carriages, and in the current situation, it is impossible to transport them out.

Although it is a pity, it is no different from scrap metal.

The mustache said, glanced at Ji Xun, and pointed to the equipment tactfully: "Well, what does the head of the family mean?"

Ji Xun did not respond directly, but simply said: "Yes. Thank you very much. You can go and wait outside."

It's not that he can't trust these people, but he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

　　Although Mustache sounded puzzled, it was hard to say anything.

Just as he was about to leave, Ji Xun reminded you: "Also, the enemy's encirclement outside the city has been completely formed. Don't try any channels to get out. You and the mechanics gather together first, and I will inform you later. There are arrangements. Remember everything here is confidential.”

"Um."

　　Although Mustache sounded confused, he didn't ask too many questions.

　　A few people turned around and left.

 In a blink of an eye, Ji Xun and Dong Qi were the only two people in the factory.

Looking at this batch of equipment, Dong Qi's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Wow, if we have this batch of equipment, I would be able to create a complete set of God of Hunter armor in a few days!"

"yes."

Ji Xun also smiled when he heard this.

 Equipment also takes time to manufacture. Without the ready-made equipment of this super factory, it would probably take a year and a half to re-create such a high-precision mechanical armor assembly line.

Now the war situation is changing every day, and if it is delayed for a day, the chance of victory will be reduced.

This can just solve the urgent need.

As long as there are enough materials, these production lines can produce mechanical armor in large quantities.

Without much delay, Ji Xun shook his hand and a rolled-up oil painting appeared in his hand.

 When I unfolded it, I saw it was "Monet's Sunrise".

 This is his plan.

 Before he obtained this catastrophic object, he never dared to think that he could move these huge iron lumps away.

 Now, several blocks of storage space in the painting can be put to good use.

He said: "Let's get to work. It won't be easy for the two of us to empty the two floors of equipment."

 “Hello!”

Dong Qi was already in high spirits. As soon as he put on the mechanical armor, he easily lifted up a piece of equipment weighing dozens of tons.
