"You are so violent." Naqisi looked at the piece of meat stuck to the hem of her snow-white skirt.
"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength for a moment." Alex retracted his arm calmly and asked, "How are you doing?"
"All solved."
After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed together.
In the following time, everyone cleaned the battlefield, mainly collecting useful parts of the Zerg. The scales of the Tiger Leap Insect and the brain core of the Zerg Warlord were all materials that could be used by explorers in the future. Naturally, they would not let them go. Pass.
The rest included a large number of psionic crystals stacked together. The three of them divided these trophies according to the original agreement, and Alex received another 2,000 units of green psionic crystals.
On the way back, Alex told the two of them the news he got from the Zerg Overseer.
Asuna and Kirito looked at each other for a long time before Kirito frowned and said, "So, Base No. 1 is probably in danger."
Alex nodded, "Although Base No. 1 is heavily guarded, I think the Zerg Lords will gather an army soon and concentrate their efforts to attack. Remember when we first came here, it was the Zerg Lords who were dispatching and integrating the Zerg legions. Prepare to attack base one."
Asuna and Kirito looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said to Alex: "You are right, we have to bring this news back as soon as possible..."
A few hours later, Alex and the three appeared in the headquarters of the No. 3 base. The person who received them was the commander, the commander of the base.
After listening to Alex's story, the face of the commander, who had always been resolute and courageous, changed slightly, and suddenly he said in a deep voice to everyone around him: "You all get down."
The surrounding officers and soldiers shouted in response, saluted and retreated.
When there were only four people left in the headquarters, the commander walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, his expression changing, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The news you brought is very important. To tell you the truth, just a week ago we lost and In contact with Base No. 1, Base No. 2 also sent messages intermittently saying that signs of Zerg gathering were found.”
Alex and the other three looked shocked and said almost at the same time: "Electromagnetic barrier."
The electromagnetic barrier is an information defense mechanism invented by the Zerg specifically to isolate human communication systems. After a long period of fighting, although the development method of Zerg civilization is different from that of humans, both sides have developed a set of means to restrain the enemy.
The commander looked very unhappy and nodded: "Now it seems very likely that Base No. 1 has been lost. After discovering this situation, I have sent scouts to find out the situation, and there should be definite news back in the next two days. "
After hearing this, Alex's face changed slightly. If Base 1 and Base 2 are lost, then the only Base 3 will be next, and the Zerg army may arrive at any time.
By then, a fierce battle will be inevitable.
"Can this matter be reported to Steel Fortress?" Among the three, Naqisi suddenly asked.
"According to the emergency response plan, a Zerg lord is not worthy of reporting to Steel Fortress." The commander glanced at the three of them and replied with a frown.
The three of them were silent for a while after listening. Although the commander's words only touched on the point, they revealed a message, that is, the explorer assessment was far more cruel than they imagined.
Before leaving, the commander carefully warned the three of them, "This matter is likely to be related to the safety of the base, so I hope that you will not spread it casually before the exact news comes out."
However, a few days later, a Zerg lord led an army to attack Base 1 and Base 2, and the news that he was about to attack Base 3 was still widely known.
Of course, this was not a random rumor by Alex and the three of them, but a dozen injured students from the two bases who fled all the way to the gate of the third base, sought asylum and then spread the news.
From the battle images they captured, you can see the endless Zerg army swarming in and flooding Base No. 1 at the end of the earth.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
With all the personal and material evidence, there is no reason why everyone should not believe it.
For a time, the atmosphere in Base Three suddenly became tense, and the alert level was raised to the highest level of red. However, there are still three months left before the assessment time, otherwise most of the students would have left this place of right and wrong.
For this reason, the number of people going out to take on missions has dropped sharply in recent times. Most people usually stay inside the base. After all, compared to the empty and uninhabited wilderness, a base composed of steel and guns gives people a solid feeling. the sense of security.
On this day, Alex sat cross-legged indoors, recalling recent events with flashing eyes.
A few days ago, the battle between the Zerg Warlords, although not long, was the most dangerous battle since his debut. If it hadn't been for the sudden onset of the mysterious spiritual power he was born with, he might have been seriously injured or died on the spot.
Thinking about it this way, although he has never forgotten the mysterious crystal that caused him to travel through time, he actually still doesn't pay enough attention to this power.
Now it seems that just using it as a means of recovery and backup force still seems a bit crude. It must have some wonderful features that I haven't noticed.
"After this assessment is over, we still need to study this power carefully." Alex confirmed the goals for the next stage for himself.
"But the most important thing is to improve your strength as much as possible." Alex's eyes flashed, and suddenly he stretched out his right hand and took in a silver metal box from the table.
Opening the lid of the box, there are ten neatly stacked plasma cores of different shapes and similar sizes inside. Blue light like water flows inside, illuminating the room brightly.
The war is coming, Alex will no longer care about retaining merit points, and will exchange all the merit points gained during this period into this box of plasma cores.
Although the direct absorption effect will be much worse, if you find a professional energy agent and use various auxiliary materials to make the energy agent stock solution, you can have the best effect. However, the current situation is urgent and you can't worry about so much.
As soon as Alex thought of this, he took out a plasma core from the box with his right hand, squeezed it hard, and the plasma core instantly shattered into a ball of blue liquid slurry, which was wrapped in invisible power and put into his mouth.
The serous fluid enters the throat, exudes a sweet and fragrant fragrance, spreads through the mouth, flows into the abdomen along the esophagus, and disperses among the limbs and bones. After a moment, the muscles and bones all over the body trembled slightly, and cells rubbed against each other at high speed, stimulating tiny arcs of electricity that shot up from Alex's body, eventually forming a body that seemed to be breathing and breathing with life. Blue light cocoon.
About five hours later, the huge cocoon of blue light on the bed suddenly shrank and suddenly turned into countless streams of light, sinking into the human body inside like a swallow.
The naked Alex stretched his arms and couldn't help but let out a clear whistle. He felt that his movements were full of strength, and he felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
Of course, this is just an illusion caused by the sudden increase in strength. In fact, the increase in strength is not that much.
In the next few days, Alex kept up his efforts and continued to repeat the process of swallowing the plasma core and refining energy. As his proficiency further improved, the refining time was greatly reduced.
In the end, it only takes two hours to refine a plasma core and absorb all the energy in it.
However, when it absorbed the ninth plasma core, the effect was minimal.
"It seems that the current limit of this body has been reached, but the effect achieved is still far beyond expectations." Alex looked at himself in the mirror, with a faint smile on his face, and after making a fist with his right hand, A thunderous explosion was heard in the air, and the surrounding air surged rapidly.
With one finger popping out, the air flow formed by pure physical power made a "swish" sound, leaving a deep hole in the nearby metal ground.
What's even more astonishing is that the holes are so smooth, as if they were already there, without any visible effect of external force.
"Magnetic field rotates, 20,000 horses of power." Although the rank has not improved, the improvement in strength is real. The strength has increased by nearly half, giving Alex the confidence to face possible crises in the future.
And as expected, this day didn't last long...
On this day, Alex was sitting quietly meditating in his room when he suddenly heard an alarm sound that rang through the base.
Alex opened the door in a flash and saw soldiers running back and forth in the base. His expression changed and he rushed out of the room.
At the same time, many students also flew up and landed on the tower of the base, looking into the distance, their expressions suddenly changed.
In the distant sky, a black "wave" with no end in sight surged crazily toward the base, overwhelming the sky and covering the entire field of vision.
"It's the Zerg!" A student on the tower screamed, and the others also looked very ugly.
Below the city tower, more than twenty huge steel chariots passed through the city gate and drove over with a rumble. After a burst of deformation and combination, they turned into small fortifications. Cold and hard gun barrels stretched out from the fortifications, facing the incoming people. Swarm of attacking insects.
In the sky, there were three to four hundred mecha squads, spraying tail flames from behind, floating in the air and raising their guns.
On the ground, large groups of soldiers in combat uniforms and assessment students quickly gathered and formed a battle formation behind the fortifications, ready to fight at any time.
The speed of the Zerg was very fast. At first it was just a black line in the distant sky, but in the blink of an eye it had advanced to less than two miles away from the city wall.
What followed was a whining sound that was getting closer and closer. With a good line of sight, you could even see the white mucus in the ferocious mouthparts of the war bugs in the front row.
Wherever the Zerg army passed, there was flying sand and rocks, dust swept across the sky, and the earth trembled slightly.
At Alex's glance, there were no less than a hundred tank bugs and plasma bugs, dozens of tiger leaping bugs, and even three or four of those terrifying Zerg warlords floating among the army.
The number and strength of this group of invading Zerg made Alex feel numb when he saw it!
