She Is Not a Witch Chapter 113: The evolution of monsters
"What is the situation inside the No. 3 barrier, and how many people still have not escaped?"
In the flagship command center, the general asked the communications personnel, his eyes still fixed on the huge screen in front of him, where the monster continued to extend its body into the barrier, "melting" into it step by step.
"I can't be sure, most of the modules inside the No. 3 barrier have been paralyzed, and the data of the remaining few modules are incomplete." The communication staff on one side replied anxiously.
"We can't wait forever, send a message to the headquarters in the rear, let the annihilation cannon aim at the No. 3 barrier and fire."
"Yes, the letter has been sent, and the irradiation will arrive in 60 hours."
"Let the two fleets of "Wisteria" and "Beast Tooth" continue to attack it, and the three fleets of "Red Moon", "Blood" and "Silver Moon" retreat, rearrange their formation, and prepare to cut the No. 3 barrier! "
"Cut it open?" The messenger on the side almost thought he heard it wrong.
"That's right, cut apart the area of the No. 3 barrier except the core to expose the internal situation, so that when irradiating, it can prevent the barrier from resisting most of the attacks and kill as much as possible. In addition, cut Finally, we also have a short time to rescue those exposed in space."
"I know that some of them are still trapped inside the barrier, but it doesn't make much sense to continue to wait now, and there are not many escape boats left inside. This can only give them a small hope in this way."
"Yes, my lord general." The communicator began to arrange orders, and after the general's authorization was passed, he immediately issued them to the fleet surrounding the No. 3 barrier.
Soon some of the warships that were firing continuously in space began to turn off, and then adjusted their positions and gathered again. They lined up in a long straight line in space, like a sharp scalpel, aiming at the huge The barriers were fired one by one, the dazzling light cannon irradiated the outside of the barrier, splashing a lot of scattering and high temperature, the attacked area began to turn red and melt, and then the gap continued to extend to the inside.
A large number of scattered parts were thrown from the inside of the barrier and sprinkled into the cold and silent space. Under the cutting of the three fleets, the space barrier No. The monster's body writhed in space, and was then wiped out by the fleet's concentrated fire.
Slowly, only the part wrapped by monsters remained in the entire barrier, and the other parts were cut down one by one, and some safer modules without monsters began to be landed, cleaned and searched by the fleet marines those who may survive.
Such a tense time was spent. About 12 hours later, the monster broke through the holy white barrier inside the No. 3 barrier, and the self-destruct system in the core area also started to activate. everything around.
After an hour, the white light completely ceased, and a large number of melted ruins remained where the monster and the core of the barrier were, as well as silent howling and distorted figures.
Although the self-destruction program burned the inner core, as an imitation of the Throne of God, the special spiritual consciousness accumulated inside it has not completely dissipated, and a large number of monsters have swallowed it, which makes it fall into excitement and tremors, while its other The appearance is gradually changing to a human form to some extent.
"It looks more disgusting and uncomfortable."
Jeremy turned off the screen in front of him, and the scene on the screen made him feel deeply uncomfortable, even a little nauseated.
In the dozens of hours since then, although the fleet is still attacking, it is also slowly retreating, out of the range of the sun annihilation cannon.
In the sky, this monster slowly revived after devouring it for a long time. Its pattern is like some greedy beasts, constantly licking the remaining fragments and integrating them into its body one by one. middle.
On the third day, when the monster was wandering in space again, the illumination from the center of the star system finally arrived, and the brilliant annihilation holy light focused on the entire area, because its concentrated fire was nearly ten times more powerful than before above.
The monster's body rapidly sublimated, annihilated and dissipated under the irradiation, and writhed wildly, looking for a possible refuge to escape such an attack.
"Compared to the past, he seems to have become a little "smarter". "In the flagship, several staff officers looked at the
A writhing fuzzy figure.
"At least I know pain and escape, and I am no longer an unconscious chaos monster."
"What will happen if it continues to swallow?"
"I advise you not to have this idea. This is a very dangerous thought against humanity."
"Yes, don't be sympathetic in some inappropriate situations." Several other people also nodded slightly.
"Wait for the irradiation to end." After that, the cabin became quiet.
A few hours later, the radiation gradually went out, and the location where the No. 3 barrier was originally located became very clear, and all the debris and sundries that had been scattered around disappeared, only the scorched body in the middle was still alive , it twisted constantly, its body began to change slowly, and finally, like a standard octahedron, its surface began to turn into some kind of extremely reflective mirror surface.
"Is this an evolution? It's getting smarter." Inside the bridge, everyone looked at the scene in front of them, surprised and shocked.
Afterwards, the fleet issued various observation and scanning orders, but gradually various radars and sighting systems began to fail. Such a mirror seemed to be extraordinary, preventing a large number of exploration light waves from entering its interior, and was instead Reflective rejection.
Slowly, this monster became an existence with a dark interior like a black hole, and no one knew what kind of changes were going on inside it.
"General, the fleet's firing has begun to fail."
The fleet surrounding the monster is still firing, but as the monster slowly builds up, a large number of energy particle cannons begin to lose their effect and are reflected by the smooth mirror on its surface.
"Switch to a kinetic cannon." The general said calmly.
"Yes, General." After speaking, the correspondent continued to issue orders.
"We received a reply that the ammunition for the kinetic energy cannon on the battleship is not much, and it is expected to be fired in 30 minutes."
"I know."
After that, the dazzling light cannon in the picture gradually disappeared, replaced by a lacklustre and unpretentious kinetic energy electromagnetic cannon. Empty distance.
A few minutes later, these shells reached the surface of the monster, smashing the smooth and huge mirror, forming various chapped marks on the surface.
"Now, continue to shoot with the light cannon." The general ordered again.
"Yes!"
Afterwards, the brilliant light cannons shone again in the cold and silent space, and the torrent of fiery high-energy particles irradiated the monster's surface, evaporating and melting it, gradually exposing the distorted gray-white flesh inside.
This kind of annihilation attack is like a razor knife scraping away layers of its internal body, while it is constantly changing directions while struggling, using its intact side to resist the annihilation light cannon.
"Re-switch the kinetic cannon and fire again." The general repeated the order.
"Understood." Now the correspondent knew what was about to happen.
Soon the fleet in space changed again and switched to kinetic artillery fire.
The cannonball carrying the huge kinetic energy impact pierced through the mirror that shattered the surface, destroying its refraction and reflection capabilities, and then the light cannon descended again, cutting its body again.
Such a constant repetition, one day passed, two days passed, seeing the monster's body getting smaller day by day, but on the third day, other changes seemed to have taken place.
A brand new mirror surface has been formed, but its reflectivity seems to have declined compared to the past. The surface is a transparent layer, and the interior is a reflective silver mirror surface. A piece of extremely tough and thick jelly, although it was slightly shaken, and a small hole appeared, but the internal mirror surface was not broken, and the subsequent light cannon shots were also reflected by a large amount of refraction, making it difficult to be effective.
Compared with the original mirror surface, this kind of protection is about 20% less resistant to annihilation cannons, but its defense against kinetic energy cannons is increased several times. global impact is too great.
"It's getting harder and harder to deal with." It's a good thing for humans to learn and improve by themselves, but it's hard to be happy when this kind of good thing happens to the enemy.
Facing the fleet with increasingly poor attack effects, the general had to order them to suspend the attack
, back off to recuperate and resupply.
"The situation has reached a deadlock." Vimiya looked at the standard silver octahedron in the picture, and turned to Lorraine Hill.
"Yeah."
Lorraine Hill lowered his head, thinking slowly, thinking of a good way to solve this stubborn nail in the phantom of chaos.
It is indeed difficult to deal with, but it is not very critical, because after losing its previous speed, it may take decades for this monster to fly near the earth. They have enough time to deal with it. This is why they have to spend a lot of energy building defenses in the outer layers of the star system. Even if some accidents happen, there is still a lot of time to buffer.
"Let's put it down first, and see what happens later."
If there is no such monster in the incoming chaotic phantom, and everything goes smoothly, then they can slowly study and find a way to deal with this monster. If there are various accidents in the follow-up, then simply It shouldn't be difficult to wake up Keti and use her ability to destroy these monsters, but the downside is that the Sequence Ten shown here is like lighting up a lighthouse in the sea of stars, which will attract more chaotic phantoms in the future.
In the next ten days or so, the fleet and the Annihilation Cannon still dealt with the incoming Chaos Phantom Sea in an orderly manner, but due to the lack of key barriers, supplies began to become difficult, which had to make the fleet slowly Retreat and give up a lot of space.
Six months later, a new line of defense was established in the rear, and the previously patrolled Space Barrier 2 moved to an area closer to the engagement point to become the new command and logistics center.
The battle started again, and a large number of chaotic phantoms began to be swept away.
Four days later, the observation ship surrounding the "monster" reported that it started to move again, targeting the No. 2 barrier.
"The situation is getting worse." In the headquarters, several important staff officers and generals discussed how to deal with it.
"We must not give up barrier 2." The general spoke first.
"However, the ability of the sky barrier to move is limited. In terms of speed, it cannot escape the pursuit of that monster."
"And if you escape, then the fleet will not be able to resupply afterwards, and it will be difficult to clean up after the annihilation cannon is destroyed."
"Cleaning is very important, otherwise these chaotic phantoms will spread out in the Ivar galaxy, like billions of mosquitoes that cannot be shielded, causing a lot of trouble and even disaster."
So, the discussion has come to an impasse, but the monster shown on the three-dimensional map is always approaching.
After a long silence, someone suddenly raised an idea "Can it be blasted inside?"
"I mean, now open a hole in the exterior, and then send a powerful annihilation bomb in and blast it."
"This is very difficult. First of all, the remote operation of the drone has to face great interference, and it has recently learned to rotate. It must keep up with its synchronous speed to enter before the cavity heals."
"After entering, the explosion effect is limited if it is only in the shallow layer, but if you want to go deep into the interior, I am afraid that the drone must have a very strong ability to blast and drill holes."
"This is too difficult, why not explode shallowly and weaken layer by layer." A staff officer shook his head.
"No, there are only one or two opportunities. Have you forgotten the previous lesson? It will learn and grow. If there are more times, certain changes will occur and it will be difficult to carry out."
"This..."
The discussion fell into silence, and it took a while for someone to raise it in a low voice.
"Or, we can let some people who can resist erosion, drive a fighter plane, enter its interior, and carry out deep blasting."
"Such a person needs at least Sequence 9, and maybe some special existence." The special existence he mentioned, everyone vaguely knows, is actually a witch.
As a fragment of a god, the witch possesses power and is indeed not easily corrupted.
"Think again, alas." The general sighed. It was weeks before the monster approached the rampart anyway.
One week later.
"Are you determined to go by yourself?" Vimiya looked at Lorraine Hill in front of her, seeming a little surprised.
"Yes." Luo
Lanhill was trying on a battle suit, but looking at himself in the mirror, he seemed a little embarrassed again.
The battle suit was almost tailored to the body, perfectly outlining the curves of her body, which forced Lorraine Hill to lightly shield her body with her arms to avoid the exposure of certain parts of the curve.
"I'm also a witch, and I'm still the fourth of the original, and I still have the ability to resist the erosion of chaos." Lorraine Hill thought for a while, and took a coat to put on his body, which made him feel more at ease.
Silver soft long hair poured down on the shoulders and behind, and the light blue and clear pupils made people feel at ease and intoxicated. The white-painted battle suit was like some kind of glue, but it was covered with various metals The silk screen is extremely tough, and it also has a textured circuit that can resist the erosion of chaos, and it comes with various functions. It is the standard equipment for fighter pilots at present.
"I'm not worried that you will be corrupted. After all, in the worst case, you can protect yourself. I'm just worried that you will be traumatized by too much stimulation." Vimiya shook her head, and Luo Landhir sat together on a small stool and looked at the two in the mirror.
"You are the primordial wind, with strong perceptual ability, but also easy to be stimulated. I still remember that when I was in college~IndoMTL.com~ the first time I met the phantom of chaos, you were violently shocked to the point of unconsciousness. Going into a coma."
"Ah, how did Vimiya know." Lorraine Hill opened her mouth slightly.
"Frocia told me, probably during the years when you were in the east, I was on the side of the Green Star Alliance, and I gradually got to know her because of affairs, and she said a lot about you in school , such as Rochelle, or something." Vimiya blinked.
"Well, she told you about that too." Although it's not a big secret to let people know about her multiple identities in school, Lorraine Hill still feels a little embarrassed, after all, she kept it a secret at the time. long time.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I know I can't stop you, but if you feel particularly painful, wake up Kitty." Vimiya stroked Lorraine Hill's smooth long hair, looked Looking at the girl who is similar to him, he said comfortingly.
A child who always feels pitiful, looking at Lorraine Hill's appearance, such thoughts floated in Vimiya's heart, and then shook her head to get rid of this idea, the girl in front of her now , but the leaders of today's civilization cannot simply be regarded as young and innocent girls.
"Yeah."
