Chapter 554

554 Big event [ alien invasion ] (3.28)

Link stared at the shadow dog, his memory starting to get jumbled up.

shadow hounds were low-level otherworldly demons, and their main purpose was to charge into the main battlefield with an advantage in numbers. they had extremely high resistance and reproductive abilities, basically equivalent to the otherworldly demons ‘minions clearing the way.

However, version 1.0 was not even over yet. His main storyline on wasteland planet and his hidden main storyline had not even been completed yet. Why did something like a shadow dog appear?

link cast detect on the shadow hound. it was a level 30 elite with low hp. it was bound in the refrigerator by the illusion vine and was on its last breath. it was a genuine product of the alien demon race.

“Tell me, what’s going on?” Link’s brain was still in a mess. He couldn’t figure out why the alien demons from version 2.0 would appear in the wasteland now.

The aide told link the entire story, his voice trembling at the end.

he realized that link’s face was ashen, and the pressure around him was so low that he couldn’t breathe.

alright, I know what happened. You’ve worked hard. Quickly go and rest.

The macaw was very observant. Seeing that Link’s expression was not good, it quickly called for the others to leave. A servant brought them to the Azure Wood City to rest.

After the outsiders left, the macaw carefully asked, ” “Boss, did something happen?”

The macaw had never seen this expression on Link’s face before. It immediately realized that this was no small matter.

He stood on his tiptoes and looked at the shadow Hound in the refrigerator. It looked strange, but it was far less strange than Link’s own pet. The macaw didn’t understand why Link’s reaction was so strong.

“This time,” said link, nodding,”it’s really serious!”

Although Link’s rebirth had changed quite a bit in version 1.0, what did the changes in the wasteland’s plot have to do with the Fanti system? According to the normal plot, it would take at least five months. Version 1.0 would take about a year before the plot of version 2.0 would be released. By then, the players would have reached level 50 or 60.

in his previous life, level 50 to 60 players had been beaten up by the alien demonic tribe for a few months. if not for the fact that players could revive after death, they would not have been able to hold on.

However, the average level of the players was only around level 30. They had not even figured out what was going on in the wasteland, and the ‘advance Army’ of the otherworldly demonic tribe had already arrived. If the alien demonic tribe had really descended on the wasteland ahead of time, it would definitely be a catastrophic disaster for the wasteland!

Thus, link had to figure out whether this alien shadow dog was a Easter Egg Set up by the mainframe for the next stage of the plot, or if the alien demons had really begun their invasion.

Troy, where’s the satellite now? can you see the situation above Essia? ”

Troy’s shrunken physical image appeared in the holographic cube on the table in the living room, and he replied, ” the satellite is now above the ocean on the back of the wasteland and is not within the communication range. It is expected to arrive in the sky above Essia at 6:31 this morning. It will record and transmit the information to your computer.

Link waved his hand, and the image of Troy in the holographic cube disappeared.

Link then grabbed the sound bug from the flower pot on the table and stuffed it into his ear. He tapped it twice and said,”connect me to the duke.”

When the Duke had come to the sand City to pledge his allegiance, they had met and talked. After the honest discussion, link had given the Duke a sound bug.

After a few seconds, the voice transmission bug was connected, and the Duke’s voice came through. “Head of state, do you have any orders?”

“I’ve already received the news from your trusted aide. This matter is quite serious, and I need you to work with the members of the moon Shadow Council to investigate the origins of these shadow dogs. At the same time, in order to prepare for the worst, I will immediately order the military intelligence Department to arrange for Inhumans to go to Essia as support. At the same time, the Fox hunting Special Forces and land fire units deployed in the desert will be stationed ten kilometers away from Essia to be on guard against the escalation of the situation.”

The Duke could understand the severity of the situation just by listening to Link’s series of actions.

Even during the war with the warlords of Essia, only the Army was deployed. This time, not only was the Hunter special force in place, but even the Army’s long-range firepower unit had to be stationed outside Essia. Most importantly, they would send Inhumans to help. All of these actions showed that the threat of this creature called the shadow dog was far greater than what they had discussed that night.

“Head of state, if you know anything, please tell me so I can make preparations in advance.” The Duke asked. He had personally witnessed Link’s prophetic power. Now that link had made so many arrangements, there must be some reason behind this.

Link pondered for a moment. then I’ll get straight to the point. There’s a vague picture in the prophecy that I can see. In the near future, an extraterrestrial civilization will invade the wasteland. They only have one goal: to destroy all life on this planet and plunder all the resources on the planet. Then, they will find other planets that can be conquered, like locusts crossing the border.

“these shadow dogs are their vanguard. So, do you understand what it means for a shadow dog to appear in Essia?”

Although the Duke had prepared himself mentally, when he suddenly heard the words ” alien forces, ” ” extraterrestrial civilization, ” ” invasion of the wasteland, ” and ” plundering of resources, ” his brain was still shut down by the huge amount of information. After a long while, the Duke’s Adam’s apple moved, and he swallowed his saliva. He found his reason for leaving at the last moment. understood. Essia is about to become the center of the storm, Yingluo.

” that’s why i need you to find out whether this shadow dog came with the main group or arrived alone for some unknown reason. ”

“Don’t worry, my Lord. I’ll investigate it thoroughly.” The Duke nodded.

Link removed the sound bug from his ear and placed it back into the bonsai on the table.

His identity as a ‘Prophet’ was now confirmed. If there was anything that was inconvenient to explain, he could explain it in fragments in the prophecy. both the npcs and the players had no doubt about link’s identity. At the same time, it was also this ‘Prophet’ identity that made link the main character of wasteland planet.

He then picked up the phone and gave orders to Benjamin and Ren Yi.

After doing all this, link was restless and couldn’t sleep.

On such an ordinary night, he had suddenly received an almost impossible piece of news. The sudden appearance of the shadow dog had disrupted Link’s entire plan.

Link entered the office with his mind in a mess and checked the forum.

Wasteland, Victoria, and Pandora’s screens were still the same. No players had found any traces of the shadow hounds.

Everything was still unclear now. Whether it was a little Easter egg or the real butterfly effect that caused it to happen in advance, it was still hard to say.

However, this sudden news was still like a whip on Link’s back, making him nervous again. He thought he had everything under control.

Link smiled wryly. It hadn’t even been 24 hours since the announcement of the United government of the freedom Federation, and the news of the shadow dog’s appearance had already come from the South. Was it really not enough to make him happy?

compared to the one-sided battles he’d faced on the wasteland, the alien demons this time put even more pressure on him.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, the three great powers of the freedom Federation had each harbored their own ulterior motives. They had fought on their own without any guidance, causing the players to not have a backbone and could only be beaten up passively. It was only when they realized that the enemy was powerful and that their goal was pure destruction, coupled with the Savior’s leadership, that the players gradually regained their dignity and fought back and forth with the otherworldly demons.

At that time, the players had only been around level 50 to 60. If the invasion had been brought forward, the players would only be around level 30. How would they be able to stop the otherworldly demonic tribe’s attack?

The players were not reliable for the time being. To be precise, they would not be able to change the fact that they would be beaten up for at least a few months.

Link had to find another way out, at least to withstand the enemy’s fierce attacks in the early stages.

It was better to rely on himself than on others. Link had to think of a solution now.

Lin Ke first went through all his current pets and ranked them by their quality.

[ normal: sand sculpture, camera chicken, vanilla mud Horse, sunflower, skeleton wolf, five rats secret agent team, spy rat, Black Widow, shorthair cat, Crow of misfortune; ]

[ excellent: sand rat, white-blade Sea Eagle, self-destructing fly, blood slug, little pig, offspring of sand Eagle and white-blade Sea Eagle, curly-haired baboon, rubber Python, Mr. Three thicket, Allen, fantasy vine, Obsidian pioneer, fungus multicolored butterfly, hydraulic machine hippopotamus, water arrow turtle, wasteland Wolf, dicolor algae, cobalt beetle, Scarlet cat, undying, saber-tooth tiger King ]

[ excellent quality: invisible killer bee, silver army ant, array wall ant, hellhound, forbes, treasure-hunting mouse, macaw, black tornado, penguin penny, mummy, eagle guardian; ]

epic-sound transmission bug, king kong, shazock, gargoyle, touch dragon god, dream realm demon;

Link didn’t lack high-end combat power.

gargoyles and tentacles dragon were good at large-scale battles, vajra and shazok were high-end combat forces, and the dream parasite demon was a sinister weapon.

However, the only ones who could face the otherworldly demons head-on without falling into a disadvantage were these epic pets.

The other pets were not functional, but they needed to use their numbers advantage.

in the past, link’s advantage in numbers could easily defeat any enemy. however, the weakest unit of the alien demons this time was a shadow hound. they were all level 30 elites, which was equivalent to 0.6 windchaser. If normal players came up, two or three of them might not even be able to take down a shadow dog.

Meanwhile, the pets that Lin Ke had the advantage in numbers were not high-leveled either. Most of them were around level 10 to 20, and they would have a hard time fighting against the shadow hounds. the only thing that could allow them to fight back and forth was the wolf cavalry soldiers, who had the advantage of speed and attack.

However, this was only the case for the weakest alien demon soldiers.

other than that, the alien demons also had other combat forces that could sweep across an entire planet.

The fact that the alien demonic tribe had been given the title of ‘interstellar Locust’ was a Testament to their massive numbers and longevity.

Even after several versions, players could still see dead stars that had been destroyed by the alien demonic race and the remaining alien demonic forces in the vast Galaxy.

And among Link’s pets, a third force had quietly risen-death.

It represented the power of the undead and mummies, which could transform the dead into zombies and the undead.

So far, link had already gathered an Army of thousands of undead and mummies under wind howl Castle. He believed that this undying force would play an important role in the war.

Other than the power of pets, link had also gathered a large group of talents.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack were grace, who was proficient in alchemy, and Helen, the representative of the science Faction.

The two women had made great contributions in their respective fields. Grace’s gray fog and alchemy Army, as well as the qualitative improvement Helen had brought to the wasteland’s technology, all gave link some confidence to fight the alien demons in the early stages.

In terms of individual combat power, the ‘father-son soldier’ or ‘Gemini’ team formed by John and silver hand was also particularly important.

After analyzing and concluding, Lin Ke formulated a series of strategies according to the priorities. Among them, there were two things that had the highest priority.

Di di di di di

link quickly made a call. after a long wait, a lazy and childish voice sounded.

princeps, what’s the matter? why are you calling me so late? ” Helen yawned as she spoke. She was obviously in a half-awake state.

Link deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Helen to regain her senses. He then said, ” “Helen, due to some special reasons, the ‘heavenly Eye Plan’ has to be brought forward.”

The other end of the phone fell silent. Lin Ke suddenly had a bad feeling and took the phone away from his ear.

a moment later, a high-pitched scream came from the other side of the phone. even though link was holding the phone very far away, he was still dazzled by the high-pitched scream.

“Head of state, is that true? You’re not calling me in the middle of the night to prank me, are you?” Helen’s voice was filled with excitement. The ‘heavenly Eye Project’ was something she had always wanted to study. However, link had pushed it down because he had to focus on the tokamark device’s derivatives. It wasn’t time yet. however, he had suddenly called her late at night to inform her that the plan had started.

link’s lips curled up slightly. although he didn’t have a partner or a wife, he had a father-daughter relationship with helen. he would be honored to see helen’s progress or new invention.

“Of course I won’t lie to you. Starting tomorrow morning, all the projects will give way to the ‘heavenly Eye Project’. You will have the right to allocate and use all the resources of the freedom Federation, and there is no upper limit! You have access to all the weapon Engineering data of the freedom Federation.” Lin Ke’s priority was at its maximum as the traffic light turned green.

Helen’s voice was trembling. Link heard a series of thumping sounds from the other end of the phone. He didn’t have to think to know that the girl was so excited that she jumped off the bed and walked around barefooted.

” head of state, let’s not wait until tomorrow. let’s start work now. give me ten minutes and i’ll be at the air base! ”

Link knew that Helen wouldn’t be able to fall asleep after hearing this news, so he let her be. However, he still emphasized, ” “You’re the person in charge of this project, and Dave is your Deputy. He only has one task, which is to make sure that you sleep for seven hours a day. If you can’t sleep for that day, he will stop work unconditionally!”

Helen, who was still excited just a moment ago, suddenly froze on the spot as if she had been doused with cold water.

To a fanatical researcher, this condition was no different from a shackle.

without waiting for helen’s tantrum, link hung up the phone.

The heavenly Eye Plan.

It all came from the blueprints that link had dropped after defeating the mechanical pioneers-the sky Eye satellite blueprint and the rocket blueprint.

Currently, there was only one satellite in the sky above the planet. It was impossible to monitor the planet all the time, and it was not conducive to the construction of a global network. With the alien invasion imminent, link needed a device that could monitor the planet’s movements in real time. The strategic level of the sky Eye satellite was raised to the highest.

After the call, link went to the living room on the first floor and made another call.

After a long while, the call was connected.

“Boss, what are your orders?”

Link stared at the shadow dog in the refrigerator and said slowly,”Fu, tell pharaohs tumeng that I’ve invited him to come to the howling Castle. There’s something here that he’ll definitely be interested in.”
