Xiling Empire

Chapter 710 We Took Back the City - Although There Is Still a Little Trouble

The majestic and majestic golden pyramid stands quietly in an unusually open square. The openness of this square can even be described as a small plain. Having experienced hundreds of thousands of years of wind and frost, the Xiling Mother Nest has inevitably left traces of history. Spreading upward, the pyramid's super-alloy shell with a metallic luster still shines brightly under these coverings, but there are also mottled marks in many places, which are scars left by the baptism of war hundreds of thousands of years ago. After the Xiling host inside was silent, the self-repair of the brood has also been shut down. For hundreds of thousands of years, they have only been running as urban scheduling machines with super computing power, but they can no longer produce a builder. To repair the glorious city that is declining day by day.

After asking the city guard next to me, I also learned some secrets about this "temple" and the ancient customs of this ancient civilization that have been passed down among the people for hundreds of thousands of years.

Since leaving their homeland, the Atlanteans have never made any changes to the mother nest. Even the vines and moss growing on the mother nest were brought out from their homeland after the end of the world. They regarded it as a sacred plant and protected it. For a long time, the Twin Temples - the Day Palace and the Midnight City, have been the "factories" where the Atlanteans select new citizens and promote talented warriors into "servants of the gods". After birth, an Atlantean baby needs to receive "divine grace" according to gender near the energy outlet on the periphery of a certain temple in the Twin Temples, that is, a small part of the body is allowed to receive radiation from the psionic energy outside the mother's nest. I firmly believe that this low-dose radiation will temper the bodies of newborns and leave a mark on their souls and bodies (due to the special nature of the brood's nether energy, this mark is actually a non-fatal radiation burn), This mark allows them to gradually get closer to the thoughts of God in their journey of life. And when life comes to an end, the Atlanteans who have received "divine grace" can ascend to heaven and coexist with God by virtue of the "mark" in their souls. In other words, the skin scars left by radiation are to the Atlanteans a GPS on the journey of life and an invitation on the road to death.

Correspondingly, sinners who have committed the four major sins of "blasphemy, treason, surrendering to the enemy, and killing compatriots" will have this mark removed in a ceremony (cutting off the part of the limb with the mark, and the sin of irradiating the forehead with the ray) People are very happy), announcing that they have forever lost the opportunity to enter the kingdom of heaven. If their sins are serious, even their descendants will be disqualified from receiving radiation. Therefore, in the Atlantis common saying, "have not been exposed to radiation" is A very bad insult, roughly equivalent to "There is no little dick downstairs" in Chinese...

As for the "leap" ceremony (this ceremony is actually a name created by the Atlanteans themselves, which is a literal translation from the Xiling text, so there are several interpretations of the translation, the closest one refers to the ascension of the person), It is the greatest honor that an Atlantis warrior can receive in his life. They are sent into the mother nest and lie down for a day and night near the computer room with the strongest radiation (known as the ultimate place). During this period, they do not eat or drink. Every three hours, an ancient prayer is recited to cleanse the body and mind.

After twenty-four hours, ordinary warriors will be transformed into servants of gods, mastering the powerful power of gods. What is called special powers on earth - special powers that can be used to destroy the world.

These legends that have been passed down from ancient times and have been passed down to this day have a self-evident weight in the minds of the Atlanteans, but in my opinion, they are more or less strange: they treat me with religious worship. Familiar Xiling technology products use symbolic explanations to explain the most common daily activities of Xiling apostles. How should I put it...

Perhaps the gods of the Star Realm will also have this weird feeling towards their believers when faced with the worship of mortals: it's a bit ridiculous, but also a bit cute - except for the weird one Ding Dong.

"It looks like there was a fight here."

Raven 001 looked around at the situation and said slightly warily.

The large square where the ancient Xiling mother nest is located is a place where no one is allowed to destroy it. Even after a disaster occurs, those mutated monsters should not be in such a good mood to have a civil war in this place. But now, except for the mother's nest in front, which is still intact, the square is full of devastation, a scene after the war: the huge stone pillars fell to the ground and turned into small pieces, which were used to carry out military operations. The granite vaults used for religious worship and symbolizing the gates of heaven have disappeared. Only large pieces of rubble are left in front of the mother nest. The ground is covered with deep cracks up to half a meter wide. The edges of these cracks are rough and straight as a whole. They seem to be a thread. The giant iron rod tore these wounds directly on the ground with the force of thousands of tons.

And among the ruins, there are still a large number of corpses scattered all over, all of which are those of mutated monsters. Their death state perfectly matches the scene of the ruins destroyed by violence around them. They are all kinds of strange and miserable. Among them are Some of them were cut into pieces, some were stretched into silk, and some were twisted and burnt. The monsters that the armored scorpions chopped into pieces before were neater than them. There are suspicious dark red traces everywhere in the square. They are the marks left by guys who are even more unlucky than the monsters who were cut into pieces: they didn't even have a piece of flesh left, and the last trace in the world is a color. .

"I can see at least three cuisines, and at least the knife skills are similar." Looking at the corpse of the monster in the square, Monina frowned and sighed, and Cirnuo vomited.

Looking at the large square that seemed to have just resisted the end of the world, the Atlantis warriors felt very heavy, while others began to concentrate on alert. Uncle Kenser had always half-squinted his eyes to sense something, and then suddenly made a discovery. , stepped forward, and everyone looked at him in confusion. After a while, the uncle carried two people out from behind a pile of pillars not far in front.

One was Lin who was snoring slightly, and the other was Ilson who fell into a deep coma for various obvious reasons.

Uncle Kenser carried the two masters who were sleeping soundly on the battlefield and came to the crowd. He threw them on the ground one by one and nodded slightly: "No one was injured, very good, very good."

Monina stepped forward to take a look at the situation of the two of them and made a judgment: "Lin's intelligence has not recovered yet. The child fell asleep when he was tired from playing. The stupid brother was knocked unconscious. Lin's huge power can be taken head-on." To stun any protoss of the same level, even if my brother is fully armed, he can't resist a few hits."

"It seems that this place is the masterpiece of these two living treasures." I clicked my tongue and looked at the Shura field around me.

Just as he was talking, there was a slight sound of armor clashing on the ground. Ilson was indeed a bright garrison specializing in defense. At this time, Youyou woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a group of people including his sister. The helper was chatting around him like a hospice nurse, and suddenly he felt very panicked. His armor jingled on the ground and he turned over and got up: "Are you all here?"

"Is this the work of both of you?"

I asked, pointing to the large square that looked like a tsunami ruin and the various processed cold meats scattered across the square. These monsters were obviously the Atlantis city guards who had been stationed around the mother nest. Of course, now they have followed the abyss. Infected and turned into an enemy. Perhaps there were fallen Valkyrie and Anubis here before, because there were energy fluctuations of psionic energy remaining in the air, but there would be no corpses left after the death of those two special soldiers.

Ilson looked around at his surroundings a little dizzy, and immediately became energetic. He looked very satisfied, as if he had made a great contribution: "Of course it goes without saying! It's not difficult to kill these monsters at all." No, you all know Lin's strength. Basically, one punch will kill all of them. That girl and I were like wolves rushing into the herd of sheep, rushing left and right to sweep through thousands of troops. Everything was wiped out with a wave of our hands, and dozens of people appeared in the middle. A flying female warrior and a wolf-headed soldier caused us some trouble, but Lin is a dragon and has high natural energy resistance. Their lightsabers and lightning basically met their nemesis. Lin opened her mouth and spit out dragon breath a few times. I burned everything, eh, I won’t talk about it, anyway, it was all solved in the end, and I wasn’t injured, but I still have a headache.”

I have already expected the fighting power of these two protoss. If the Xiling Apostles are secondary gods, then they were just dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers created by the secondary gods. Damn it if it is still difficult. , while Monina looked thoughtful, and suddenly asked for a long time: "Brother, why have you been talking about how Lin killed the enemy for a long time? What did you do? Why did you still have a headache and fainted in the end?"

Ilson stiffened for a moment, looked at the sky and began to whistle.

Monina thought for a while and was suddenly shocked: "You won't let Lin hold on and won't break away, will you?"

"Nonsense! You don't know how strong that girl is!"

I trembled for a while, and looked at the countless half-meter-wide huge scars on the ground around me with horror. The ground was made of artificial rock as hard as battleship armor, and then I looked at Ilson's forehead with sympathy - Your defense is so high, you don’t even have a bag!

There is no doubt that the weapon Lin used in the battle just now... was the 123. Ding Dong, you have a good team.

"Lin is particularly lethal when she is mentally deficient," Monina turned a blind eye to her brother's miserable experience, "Of course, only to her own people."

At this time, Lin, who was the culprit, finally woke up. The Dragon God girl let out a long yawn, rubbed her confused eyes with her fists like a little girl, and then looked at the group of us in a daze. After getting up at the right time and having low blood pressure, she hurriedly got up, lowered her head timidly and asked in a low voice: "Everyone...did I do something wrong just now?"

"No, you killed thousands of enemies," Monina patted the shoulder of the Dragon God girl who had returned to normal comfortingly, "It's just that the weapons are a bit more worn."

Ilson was stunned when he heard this.

After confirming that there were no enemies around, ordinary soldiers formed a defensive formation on the spot around the mother nest to protect the control center layer by layer, while I and the four living treasures of the gods stepped into this building that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Historical ancient building.

Just like the ancient buildings we passed before, although the outside of this mother's nest is full of historical traces, the inside is as clean as new. The surrounding crystal walls are still crystal clear and free of impurities. The power of the abyss has still not penetrated into this building. In a building that is not built with ordinary materials, except that there is no host sitting in the building, and there are no light spots representing the host's thinking in the crystal wall around us, this place is no different from the ordinary Xiling Mother Nest.

A group of five people quickly arrived at the central computer room of the Brood. Compared with Bubble's central computer room, the light here was dim. Although it was also a crystal clear world made of crystal, it seemed lifeless. Inside the crystal prism in the center of the room Empty, with not even a trace of energy flowing. The mother's nest that has lost its host is like a giant that has lost its soul.

Monina and Lin started to click on the base of the host slot curiously, while I contacted the mass-produced host on standby at the back and took out an information terminal at the same time.

The dull little face of the mass-produced host appeared on the holographic projection, and next to it was a vast pile of complex data and charts: "The connection attempt has begun... The attempt failed, and the remote host was physically disconnected. Confirm that the remote mother nest signal is in good condition, please check Host slot."

"Okay, okay, stop playing." I waved Monina and Lin away, and followed the system prompts to match the information terminal with the host slot.

A compatible program has been prepared in the information terminal that allows this ancient Xiling Mother Nest to accept external control without a host. This is what I just downloaded from Pao Pao across the world. As the most powerful For the host series, Pao Pao has in-depth research on the operation and modification of all Xiling hosts and their accessories, naturally including the Mother Nest, which was widely used in lower-level hosts hundreds of thousands of years ago. According to the technical consultation obtained from Pao Bao a few hours ago, due to the manufacturing age, there is a compatibility issue between the serial number of this antique Xiling mother nest and the operating system version number of the Xiling host we brought, resulting in remote communication between the two parties. When connecting, it always prompts error 678 Remote No Connection. There are only two ways to solve this problem. Either downgrade your Xiling host, or refresh the identification number of this nest. My choice is of course the latter. , although all this sounds full of embarrassing flavor.

"The system upgrade is completed. The operator identification information is being verified. No local user was found. Please choose your intervention method."

"The system provided by Pao is really friendly, just like Windows." I muttered and reached out to select the remote desktop.

"Remote desktop is established, please select the operation type."

"Is it so troublesome to use a temporary system?" I shrugged and chose remote assistance.

"Remote assistance begins, please select the assistance level."

After a pause, I clicked on the remote control.

"Remote control starts, please select the control time: a short while, a while, a long while."

I:"……"

"You have chosen a conference. To ensure the security of your data, the system is refreshing the super verification code. Please enter the serial number and verification code."

Everyone: "..."

"The serial number and verification code are correct, and the remote control is being established... I'm sorry, because the information link has encountered a very bad problem. You may not be able to solve this problem even if you toss it to death. Therefore, the connection establishment failed this time. This system We regret to inform you that you have lost your remote connection. We hope you will give us feedback on this unexpected situation. For complaints, please dial 21549310023566540321 and then 1347890630. For product renewal, please press 1. Rescan users and no local users are found. Please choose your intervention method. …”

"Intervene your sister!"

I shouted angrily while mentally connecting with Sandora: "Girl, I can't connect remotely here! Is there something wrong with the compatibility package that Pao Bao just sent?"

Shandora was also activating another Xiling Mother Nest. She was quite surprised when she heard this: "Eh? Really? It's going very well here!"

I was suddenly stunned. I was about to contact Paopao to ask what happened to the compatibility package she gave me. A slight "beep" sound suddenly reached my ears. Then, the crystal wall of the central computer room gradually emitted a normal sound. The brilliance of initiation.

"I'm sorry that I just deceived you. The remote connection has been successfully started."

Let me tell you, if I hadn't brought a backup with me, I would have smashed this unfortunate thing by now!

We were confused by the situation in front of us at first, but after a few seconds we finally realized it: Wasn’t it because I was stopped by onee-sama before setting off and didn’t come to Gensokyo! How could the child's mother be so vengeful?

Anyway, this Brood that has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years has finally been successfully started under the control of the remote host. The crystal room around us is gradually being filled with blue-white light. This is the situation when the Brood does not have a host. The simulation started to run normally, and there was a slight buzzing sound from under the empty host slot. Then, the crystal prism above it was instantly filled with countless complex bright lines. The data terminal in my hand also began to refresh the interface, and it was crooked. Big characters like a turtle crawling appeared on the ground:

Virtual CD-ROM 1.0 started successfully.

The characters of Bubble are still so elegant. I deeply regret that that girl still refuses to download a normal font library for her head.

The synthesized female voice of system self-test sounded in the host machine room: "The colony ship control system is reconnected and online, the main energy source of the brood is offline, the auxiliary energy is offline, external energy supplement is detected, the core system will run in basic mode. Detection of armed system... The system is severely damaged, with 5% of the available external defense weapons and 75% of the internal defense weapons available. The nether energy pipe network partially collapsed, energy supply was terminated from areas d-3 to d-6, there was no response to calls, and the Olympus energy furnace was offline. No response. Retrieve the city guard location mark... Warning, the number of city guards is dangerous, abnormal state guards are found... Command received, shield guard retrieval. Valkyrie Regeneration Factory is online and running well, Anubis Regeneration Factory is online , insufficient power, operating rate 75%, found Valkyrie in abnormal state, Anubis in abnormal state... Prepare to reset the regeneration factory control system..."

"The whole system self-check is completed. Miscellaneous self-checks are started and automatically hidden...Operator, you have a message from Shadow Fortress, please check it."

I was stunned. Before I could say anything, the system started to automatically read the information:

"The child's father~!~! Let me tell you some sad news, our daughter is missing again..."
