I Have A Game Clone Chapter 52 – 52 Shocking News

52 Shocking News

When Ning Shi returned to Duohuang, it was already 11 o'clock at night. Upon reaching the edge of the city, he found that a large number of slaves were still building the city wall.

Some of the slaves were in charge of mixing the clay, while others were in charge of splitting the clay into pieces and building them into walls.

Each group of slaves was followed by several fire-breathing lizards.

The fire-breathing lizard was an intermediate magical beast that could spit out extremely powerful flames.

After every small portion of the wall was built, the fire-breathing lizards would take turns to spit fire, directly burning the clay wall into a solid brick wall.

The city wall was built very efficiently.

Fox, the old Foxman, introduced, “Including the new Moon Elf captives, we now have a total of 130000 slaves. They're divided into two shifts, and they're building the city walls day and night.”

“I divided all the slaves into 1300 engineering teams, each with 100 people. Each team will be equipped with 5 to 10 fire-elemental magical beasts or bloodline warriors with fire-elemental abilities.”

“With this division of labor, the wall will be five meters tall and two meters thick. Each team of 100 people can build at least ten meters of wall a day.”

Ning Shi nodded. Fox's intelligence was indeed high. He even thought of using magic power to improve the steps of burning bricks. This greatly improved the efficiency of building the city wall.

The city walls of Duohuang were not completely in line with the current streets. Some of them surrounded the city, forming a square on all four sides.

Each wall was 12000 meters long and covered an area of 144 square kilometers, which was half the size of ancient Chang'an. A million people lived in the city.

“At this rate, the city wall will be complete in about four days. Well done, Fox. The wisdom of Foxmen really lives up to their name!”

A smile formed on Fox's wrinkled face. He bowed and said, “The building of the city wall only started successfully because of your knowledge in brick-making. I only did a little.”

Ning Shi laughed, “Alright, a merit is a merit. The position of the Minister of Economy and Trade is yours. Tell Elon that the magic core workshop must continue to build magic core cannons with all their might. The more the better. I want at least 50 cannons on every wall!”

“This old man will definitely convey the message.”

Ning Shi walked down the city wall in satisfaction. Suddenly, a system notification came.

[Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the ability of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes or no.]

Ning Shi clicked yes and asked in his heart.

“Didn't Lionheart Blade's bloodline servant contract not take effect?”

[To cover up the existence of the game system, Lionheart blade and avatar still have a basic bloodline servant connection, but there is no contractual relationship that forces it to obey.]

There was even such a feature?

Ning Shi didn't probe further and opened the message.

[The Elven Empire has already formed an alliance with the Ole Empire. They will gather 300000 troops to attack Duohuang. Estimated time of the attack: five days later. The Brad Empire will station their troops at the border and put pressure on the Elven Empire. ]

Ning Shi's expression changed slightly.

An Army of 300 thousand still gave Ning Shi a lot of pressure.

He didn't expect the Ole Empire and the Elven Empire to be so decisive and form an alliance.

The result of this battle would depend on the power of the magic core cannons.

[Main storyline mission 4: defeat the 300000 soldiers of the two allied empires and gain the recognition of the three empires. Become the true overlord of Duohuang.]

The main mission had arrived. Ning Shi felt even more certain that the game system was deliberately guiding him to unify the world.

This cheat code of his seemed to have a special purpose.

[Calling in progress, caller's name is Hao Meng.]

For Hao Meng to call him at such a late time, there must be something urgent, so Ning Shi quickly picked up the call.

“Brother Shitou, you haven't rested yet, have you? Something big has happened. I have to talk to you in person.”

“No, I haven't. Do you live in the teachers' dormitory? Should I go find you?”

“I'll go to the principal's dormitory to find you. Give me a moment, about five minutes.”

“Alright,” he said.

Ning Shi hung up and exited the first-person perspective game.

From noon, they played all the way until late at night, and Ning Shi still hadn't eaten.

He opened the takeaway app. The school was located in a High-tech Development Zone, so there were very few food options to choose from at night.

He could only helplessly play a round of Spraying Warrior and order some fast food.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ning Shi opened the door, and Hao Meng was standing outside.

She might have just been preparing to rest, but after receiving the urgent news, she rushed to Ning Shi's residence at once.

Hao Meng was wearing a pink camisole nightgown, with an exquisite hook flower on it and a three-dimensional cut on her chest. A pair of snow-white pandas' designs were on the verge of being revealed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ning Shi's face heat up and he stood up instantly.

“What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?”

Ning Shi hurried back to the sofa in the room and sat down to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Hao Meng was in a hurry. She closed the door, sat on the left side of Ning Shi, and said directly,

“A world boundary suddenly appeared in Bei Shi Nation. Countless insects whizzed out and swept through one-third of Bei Shi Nation's land in an extremely short time. The death toll reached millions!”

“The insect swarm is still pouring out from the world boundary, heading straight for the capital of the Bei Shi Nation, Kibu.”

Ning Shi was shocked, and his tent was quickly extinguished.

Bei Shi Nation was the only developed country in the Shi continent. Once the Bei Shi Nation was destroyed by the insect disaster, the entire Shi continent might be doomed!

The insect disaster was likely to start from the Shi continent and sweep across the world!

Hao Meng handed her phone to Ning Shi and said, “This is the scene captured by a drone from high above.”

Ning Shi took the phone and opened the video.

The video's perspective was from the sky overlooking the Earth. Countless insects formed a black storm, like the big hand of a giant beast. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

The insect disaster entered the city, and people fled in panic like ants. Countless high-rise buildings disappeared in an instant, and the insects ate anything they could see.

The video began to fast forward. A few hours later, a city with a population of hundreds of thousands of people disappeared from the Earth.

The ground was bare as if nothing had ever existed.

The civilized city that humans had spent hundreds of years building was reduced to nothing in just a few hours.

“Gold-eating ants!” Ning Shi said with a serious expression.

Hao Meng nodded, “Yes, these metal-eating ants are relatively easy to deal with in the insect disaster.”

“The officials of the Bei Shi Nation have already begun to organize an army to build a defense line in an attempt to resist the insect disaster, but the effect is worrying.”

“Except for some powerful countries, the rest of the countries were basically helpless in the face of the insect disaster.”

“Even for a powerful country like ours, we have to rely on the terrain of the passageway at the border to defend against the insect disaster. If it was on an infinitely flat terrain, it would be very difficult to build a defense, and we would have to pay with our lives. If you expect the Bei Shi Nation's army to be dedicated, you might as well buy the lottery.”

Ning Shi knew that Hao Meng was telling the truth. Right now, many high-level and wealthy people in the Bei Shi Nation had probably already boarded the plane and taken refuge in the Mieln Federation.

In any disaster, the ones who suffered the most were always the ordinary people at the bottom of the rank.

Hao Meng continued, “The world originally discovered a total of six world boundaries of the insect world. Our country has three, the Mieln Federation has one, the Kingdom of Mies has one, and the Black Bear Country has one. These countries happened to be relatively strong, and they barely managed to defend against the insects' attack.”

The four countries had signed a confidentiality agreement on the insect disaster and agreed not to disclose the situation of the insect disaster to the public for the time being. After the incident in the Bei Shi Nation, this secret could no longer be kept.”

“Soon, the whole world will know that there's a world, full of insects, trying to invade us.”

Ning Shi was not surprised by this result. Instead, he pointed out what he found strange regarding the matter. “Based on the direction of public opinion abroad, I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation were willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.”

“They're willing to keep it a secret for the sake of profit. The corpses of all kinds of insects in the Insect world are a Carnival of biotechnology, and the capital behind them wants to monopolize these interests.”

“Now that things can't be kept a secret anymore, it's the military's turn to celebrate.”

Ning Shi poured a glass of water and handed it to Hao Meng. “Think about it. It's inevitable for insects to appear in small countries. The first six world boundaries happened to appear on the borders of big countries. Other than the size of the big countries, it's more or less a coincidence.”

Hao Meng took a sip of water, her big eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

“The most important problem now is to figure out as soon as possible whether the Bei Shi Nation's world boundary is a matured world boundary that suddenly appeared or has already appeared for a long time and the Bei Shi Nation has never discovered it.”

“This is related to the final conclusion of the research on the boundary. If there really is a world boundary that doesn't need to be formed, things will be difficult to handle.”

Ning Shi shook his head and said, “That's a problem, but I personally think that the boundary has already appeared. The Bei Shi Nation didn't notice it, or they didn't take it seriously. You know the style of those foreign officials.”

Hao Meng sighed and rubbed her temples with her fair fingers.

“The insect disaster has already entered Saturn. How to defend it will be a tricky problem. The only good news is that the Bei Shi Nation is very far from us.”

Ning Shi did not think so. He retorted, “The Bei Shi Nation is indeed very far from us, but there are too many countries around the Yunmeng Kingdom. The stronger ones are the Long Island and the Gaobang Kingdom, while the weaker ones are the small countries in the southeast and the South Sea.”

“If any of these small countries had an insect disaster, they could only take it as they are unable to defend themselves.”

“By then, the insect disaster will use these small countries as a breakthrough point and invade our country. The consequences will be very serious.”

“The only good news now is that our country has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the insects. We basically understand the weaknesses of the insects and can make targeted defense.”

“Brother Shitou, can the university's freshmen tournament be brought forward? You should quickly select some disciples and teach them the extreme body forging technique. First, we can research the simplified version of the body forging technique as soon as possible and increase the strength of the Army as soon as possible. Second, I want to go to the Bei Shi Nation after I finish researching the body forging technique.”

Seeing Hao Meng's calm expression, Ning Shi quickly advised, “Mengmeng, the Bei Shi Nation is too dangerous right now. That's not a place to joke around.”

“You're just a researcher, you can just work in the rear. Why do you need to rush to the front line?”

Hearing Ning Shi's concern, Hao Meng's big eyes curved into crescents again, and she smiled very happily.

“Brother Shitou, I have to go to the Bei Shi Nation. I've always wanted to study whether the insects' abilities would deteriorate after they entered our world from the insect world.”

“From a scientific point of view, the environment of our world can not breed these strange insects. When they come into our world, they will be affected by the changes in the environment and their abilities should degenerate.”

“From the perspective of superpowers, every world has its own law of reproduction. The power of the world will suppress outsiders.”

“I have to go to the site to study the specific situation of these values.”

Ning Shi thought for a moment. “Do you want me to go with you?”

Hao Meng's expression brightened. She wanted to agree, but she held herself back.

“It's alright, Brother Shitou. I'm not as weak as you think. By the way, can I use your extreme body forging technique?”

“I've copied them all for you. You can learn as much as you want, but be careful not to get hurt. The freshmen tournament will start tomorrow. It's an urgent matter, so we can only trouble the teachers and students.”
