Chapter 1229
1229 The tower of “isolation”
A stream of light streaked across the sky and fell rapidly to the ground, leaving an eye-catching trail of light in the night sky.
Following the appearance of the first ray of light, a second and a third appeared.
A meteor-like light spread out in an unusually even manner with the monster City as the center, until it fell to the ground at a certain moment.
Huge exhaust flames spurted out from the bottom of these cylindrical objects, slowing down the falling force so that they would not sink to the ground due to inertia.
After the force of the fall was offset, these huge and special cylinders directly rooted to the ground at a precise distance as if they had been measured with a ruler, standing straight on the desolate land.
From a distance, they looked like tall metal guard towers.
“Swish!”
Four bright rays of light appeared from the top of the pillar, shining on the surrounding area like a Searchlight. At the same time, exquisite armed drones flew out from the inside of the pillar like a swarm of bees, circling around the area!
They completely sealed off the sky, and even a bird could not escape their detection and fly to the sky outside the giant pillar.
Other than that, the top of the pillar bloomed like a lotus flower, revealing the hidden defensive weapons and a huge floating ball of light.
After the light orbs appeared, they immediately flickered with a dark blue radiance. Then, the light orbs suddenly lit up the night sky and shot out energy beams like high-voltage electric arcs to both sides at the same time, connecting all the cylinders together.
When the energy beams from the two giant pillars connected with each other, they once again spread to the ground, forming an invisible barrier that appeared and disappeared from time to time, completely isolating the monster City from the outside world!
This energy was released by the ball of light. After it spread in the air to form an isolation barrier, it went directly underground and was then absorbed and stored by the giant pillar.
The blue light ball was responsible for replenishing the energy consumed during this cycle. Because it was filled with a special energy source, the giant light pillar could maintain this isolation mode for a long time.
When the invisible energy barrier was set up and completely isolated the monster City, from time to time, there would be creatures like rats and insects that would accidentally touch the invisible barrier. They would either turn into ashes or faint immediately!
At this moment, the monster City had been completely isolated. Without permission, it was absolutely impossible to leave!
Not long after, there was another roar in the sky, and several huge spaceships slowly landed from the sky.
After they stopped outside the isolation barrier, a large number of soldiers rushed out from the spaceships. They cooperated with various armed robots and formed a defensive circle outside the isolation barrier.
There were more than 10000 soldiers and they were equipped with excellent weapons. They were a force to be reckoned with!
The floating city was situated high up in the sky. Logically speaking, it should not have kept a large number of troops, only a few security personnel should have been left.
However, this was not the case. Due to the existence of the monster City and the radioactive monsters, the ruler of the floating city had always been in a state of distress. In order to cope with the possible war at any time and to guard against the possible rebellion of the armed robots, each floating city had at least 10000 soldiers stationed on it.
The soldiers who were mobilized to participate in the operation came from one of the floating cities, and it could be considered that they had come in full force!
Such a large-scale military operation naturally attracted the attention of all the powerful figures in floating city. They were all watching the entire process of the arrest from a distance.
Those who were well-informed even knew the true purpose of the operation in time and were full of anticipation.
The floating city’s 100 years of isolation and the constant worry of being destroyed were enough to make the citizens yearn for the vast continent. However, they knew very well that the land under their feet was no longer suitable for living.
Looking for a new home and getting rid of this boring life that seemed to be filled with songs and dances but was in fact a life with a sharp sword hanging over their heads had become something that almost all the citizens were looking forward to.
Now that Tang Zhen had appeared, the citizens finally saw a trace of hope. Naturally, they would not let this chance slip by!
At this moment, the judge had already led his men into the monster City. The members of the black-clothed law enforcement team who had arrived later had also begun to enter in batches. They were ready to dig three feet underground to carry out a search!
An all-encompassing net that was specifically woven for Tang Zhen had already been completely unfolded!
……
Along the way, Tang Zhen saw many strange scenes.
For example, the ground full of metal spikes covered an area of nearly 10000 square meters. It flickered with a cold light, which made people shiver.
No one knew what these metal spikes were for, because with the way humans thought, they could not understand what the monster City wanted to do.
In addition to the metal spikes on the ground, Tang Zhen also saw a forest of metal fluorescent mushrooms. It was a forest of metal pipes of different heights, which were constantly emitting colorful steam.
It seemed that as long as they kept walking, they would never be short of new sights to see!
Uncle Jim, who was in charge of leading the way, was not interested in this at all. He kept looking around, trying to find traces of food seeds.
In this city that was almost entirely made of metal, the special plants that were regarded as treasures by the abandoned people were actually very rare, and the reason for their appearance was only a coincidence.
The monster City tried to transform everything into a metal mechanical structure. During this transformation process, some plants would undergo genetic mutation and gain characteristics that ordinary plants could not achieve.
Most of the seeds would grow at a terrifying speed after they were sown, and the fruit seeds they bore would be extremely full and dense.
Some of the fruit seeds were used as food for the abandoned people to fill their stomachs.
Even though these special seeds might contain substances that were harmful to the human body, the abandoned people did not care. As long as they could fill their stomachs, they would even dare to try soil!
However, along the way, they did not see a single special plant. No wonder Uncle Jim had once said that not everyone could guarantee that they would obtain anything from the abandoned people who had explored the monster City over the years!
As they went deeper and deeper, Uncle Jim’s face became uglier and uglier because they were getting closer and closer to the center of the monster City. According to his past experience, he should have been able to find the mutated plants by now.
However, along the way, they didn’t even see a shadow. Even the mechanical guardians that often appeared and told the abandoned people to avoid them had disappeared into thin air!
“Strange, what’s going on?”
uncle jim kept mumbling to himself, as if this was the only way to release the pressure in his heart.
Tang Zhen, who was walking at the front, turned his head around. He extended his hand and pointed at a metal building not far away. He said to Uncle Jim,”If you have the guts, go into the building in front and take a look. I guarantee you’ll find something!”
Uncle Jim’s eyes brightened. After witnessing Tang Zhen’s magical ability more than once, he had faintly reached the level where he would listen to everything he said.
Although it was very dangerous inside the metal building, as long as he could get food seeds, what was the big deal about taking some risks?
“You all wait here, I’ll go in and take a look!”
After instructing the crowd, Uncle Jim picked up his crossbow and slowly walked towards the mushroom-shaped metal building without caring about his own injuries.
