Chapter 1442: Chapter 775: Could It Be Them?
Swish, swish, swish!
In the forest, Lu Dayou’s Speed had been pushed to the limit as he darted back and forth, racing toward the Carey Technology Company base.
The sound of bombardment was still rolling in nonstop, and the shockwaves rippling overhead made his scalp tingle again and again.
Even though his Genetic Species had reached Perfection and his Main Attribute had soared to 100 points, he still had no power to resist this kind of terrifying shockwave.
"Just what kind of faction can actually go to war with Carey Technology Company?"
"Could it be that the human world has really recovered its prosperity?"
Lu Dayou couldn’t help falling into doubt at this moment.
If the human world hadn’t rapidly developed, how could these spaceship technologies be explained?
If human technology hadn’t exploded forward, how could they possess spaceship weapons on this level?
And those Energy Shields flickering around the hulls of the ships—every last one of them was reminding him that in the Flood World beneath the clouds, some tremendous, unknown change must have taken place.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, a broken chunk of metal in midair whistled as it detonated, then shot toward him at extreme speed.
Lu Dayou’s pupils shrank sharply. He hurriedly raised both hands and let out a low shout: "Vine Armor into Shield!"
Crack, crack, crack!
Thick vines suddenly burst from his arms, rapidly coiling and twining, quickly condensing into a massive vine Shield that, in an instant, wrapped his whole body inside!
Rumble!
The fragment that had exploded in the air streaked over with ferocious force and smashed down onto the vine armor Shield he had condensed.
With a thunderous bang, the vine armor Shield caved in hard under the enormous impact.
But in the next moment, light flared across the Shield, the vines wildly proliferated, and it rapidly regenerated.
With a thump, the Shield directly bounced that shattered metal chunk away.
Right after, Lu Dayou lifted his arm and scanned the surroundings.
While using the vine armor Shield to cover his body, he quickly moved closer to that piece of metal.
Seeing the dense Runes on the metal fragment, his expression shifted slightly.
"Runes?"
He immediately thought of those Mutant Beasts he’d killed before; some of their bones had the same kind of strange Rune patterns on them.
Some of those patterns would even glow.
Back then he had also tried to study these Runes, but never got anywhere.
Eventually he’d just let it go.
But looking at it now, there might be some important secret hidden in these Runes!
It was even likely that these Runes could be Stamped and applied elsewhere.
He raised his head to look at the spaceships still locked in fierce combat above, thoughts churning.
"So these ships are using these Runes, and that’s why they’re so powerful?"
Lu Dayou was no fool; on the contrary, he was very smart.
All these years, he’d managed to raise his deaf-mute daughter alone, and even buy an apartment in Linjiang City—that took real ability.
If he didn’t have a brain, there’s no way he could have earned that kind of money.
He committed this point to memory, hid the piece of metal carefully, and then continued on his way.
Before long, he had already reached the frontline battlefield.
He saw that outside the Carey Technology Company base, a massive Energy Shield covered the entire base like a gigantic turtle shell, leaving the ships in the sky with nowhere to strike.
Lu Dayou lifted his head and looked at those spaceships in the sky.
He naturally recognized the ships belonging to Kerry Technology.
But the ships of the other side were unlike anything he’d ever seen.
They were marked with an emblem of three mountains, and likewise had defensive fields around them. Their Combat Power was extremely ferocious.
The Energy Cannons from Kerry Technology blasted against the surface of those ships, only stirring up ripples one after another, unable to damage the hulls at all.
He watched intently, mind racing—did he have any way to make contact with the other side?
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt as if something was observing him!
Lu Dayou shuddered in alarm.
He quickly turned around and looked in all directions.
His gaze swept the area once, but he didn’t see any figures.
This made him frown. "What’s going on? This feeling of being watched..."
He closed his eyes and used the power of his Heart Core to sense the environment around him.
He didn’t sense any human presence, which only deepened his confusion.
A trace of crisis surfaced in his heart.
This kind of situation, where he had no grasp on what was happening, filled him with strong discomfort.
Whoosh!
Without any warning, he suddenly leapt, his body flashing into a clump of grass. The grass began to sway violently as if he were racing through it, and in the blink of an eye, the grass returned to calm.
Just then, a bird flapped over from the sky and appeared above the grass.
The bird circled above the grass for a while, then landed on the top of a tree, a hint of puzzlement in its eyes.
It seemed to be thinking in a human-like way about where that person had gone.
At that moment, the branch it perched on suddenly lit up with a flash of light.
With a rustling sound, a twig thrust out in an instant.
With a wet puff, it instantly pierced through the small bird’s chest.
The little bird only had time to flap its wings a few times before it died.
In the grass, a small blade of grass swayed once, then slowly transformed into Lu Dayou’s figure.
He stood up from the grass, waved his hand, and the branches on that tree directly sent the little bird’s corpse over.
Lu Da did not rashly touch this little bird’s corpse; he just looked at it for a while, and his expression gradually grew solemn.
"A Mutant Bird being manipulated by someone? Who is the other party?"
Power carried a trace of vigilance in his heart; without another word, He quickly started sprinting wildly through the forest, changing direction from time to time, and also using the plants to erase the traces of his passage.
At the same time, on a spaceship, Wang Ling’Er’s eyes suddenly snapped open, a hint of surprise flashing in her pupils.
"What’s wrong, Miss Wang?"
A soldier next to her asked in surprise.
Wang Ling’Er shook Her head slightly and said, "Nothing, I just saw a strange person."
"A strange person? From Carey Technology Company?"
"Maybe."
"Why would the other side be out in the wild? Why aren’t they in the base?" someone asked.
Wang Ling’Er guessed, "Probably personnel out on duty. Don’t bother with that sort of character. Is the radar scan map done?"
"Scan completed. The base distribution map of Carey Technology Company has been fully scanned and uploaded into the computer."
"Good, let’s head back. We’ll hand these data over to Mr. Liang and the others later."
"Understood!"
Wooo——!
The spaceship from Yangshan quickly changed direction and sped away from here.
The roaring sounds of battle in the sky also fell into silence.
Only the collapsed trees on the ground and the sunken pits in the mud testified to the fierce battle just now.
As Yangshan’s spaceship withdrew, Kerry Technology’s Energy Shield on this side also gradually went dark.
No base would be extravagant enough to keep its base defense shield running at all times; this was a tremendous drain on energy.
Outside the base, Wang Tian’an’s face was as black as iron, and beside him, Zhou Tang’s expression was likewise incomparably grim.
"They actually dared to take the initiative to attack us! These bumpkins from Linjiang City, what guts!" Wang Tian’an cursed angrily.
Zhou Tang said in a deep voice, "Bumpkins? Hmph, have you ever seen bumpkins who can independently develop spaceships?"
"Wang Tian’an, don’t harbor any illusions. Contact headquarters immediately and have them dispatch more ships over."
"If we don’t resolve this Yangshan faction quickly, we’re going to have a big problem!"
Hearing this, Wang Tian’an was also furious, but he didn’t have any better solution.
At present, the number of spaceships at their base was far fewer than Yangshan’s.
As for experts, although the two of them both had a 40% progress in gene recombination, the other side had a gene recombination master even stronger than them!
If they fought head-on, they would truly be utterly defeated.
So right now, the only path was to immediately request reinforcements from headquarters.
As for withdrawing from Linjiang City and giving up Divine Tree Island and Hell Island, which were already in their hands, that was absolutely impossible!
Not to mention the massive resources on those two Floating Islands; even just for the sake of their expanding territory, they could not retreat!
"I’ll go contact headquarters right now..."
"Wait, notify Mengya Company as well. Their Flying Manta Island has already been occupied by the local forces of Linjiang City."
Zhou Tang suddenly stopped Wang Tian’an and said this.
Wang Tian’an was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and realized Zhou Tang’s intention.
"You want to kill with a borrowed knife?"
Wang Tian’an instantly became excited.
Zhou Tang shook his head and said, "How can this be called killing with a borrowed knife? Since this Yangshan group has occupied Flying Manta Island, they’ve definitely already formed an alliance with Mengya Company’s people."
"We’re just kindly informing the other side."
"If Mengya Company still doesn’t know about this, they’ll probably still foolishly send patrol teams over to inspect, and by then it’ll only be more of them getting captured by Yangshan’s people."
Wang Tian’an laughed and said, "I get it, I get it. Don’t worry, I’ll report to headquarters right away and also get in touch with people from Mengya Company."
With that, He quickly turned around and walked into the base.
On the other side, Zhou Tang looked up at the boundless sky, pondered for a moment, and then also turned and left the plaza.
Roughly one kilometer away from the outside of this base.
Lu Dayou’s eyes snapped open, and His mind withdrew from the small blade of grass inside the base.
At this moment, His face was full of shock and disbelief.
"They... they were talking about Yangshan?"
"Is it the Yangshan I know?"
Lu Dayou suddenly stood up, His whole body trembling with irrepressible excitement.
He still remembered that back then He had followed that young man called Mr. Liang, and everyone had escaped together from Meidu Garden.
Back then Mr. Liang had said that if the torrential rain didn’t stop, the great flood would continue to rise.
Staying in the high-rise was just like a frog being boiled in warm water; sooner or later, it was a dead end.
Only by going to higher ground could they survive.
He remembered clearly that the higher ground Mr. Liang spoke of was Yangshan!
"Could it be... could these people be Mr. Liang and the others?"
At this thought, Lu Dayou was almost so excited that He wanted to rush after those spaceships immediately to find out the truth.
If it really was Mr. Liang and the others, then... then His girl, His poor daughter Yu Yan, could it be that she was still alive?
"She must still be alive. If it really is them, Yu Yan must still be alive!"
Lu Dayou’s eyes turned red. He clearly remembered that back then Mr. Liang had tried to persuade the others, saying that the strange appearance of that island meant they couldn’t go up lightly.
So at the time, their raft had not approached Turtle Island.
His daughter was on that raft. When the island sank, she must have been safe!
