Chapter 1317 - Exhausted
The "Tree of Life" has granted Chen Fei the spiritual power to cover a distance of 1500 kilometers. This is entirely due to the large number of devouring biological combat weapons and biological space motherships residing in the fourth "abnormal area," which have nourished the limitless growth of this towering tree.
The parasites have given far too much.
The "Zagali" civilization possesses a vast and ever-growing array of biological combat weapons, with individual combat capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary humans. Even with railguns and conventional firearms, they are still vulnerable to sudden and unexpected attacks if not handled carefully.
Fortunately, these soulless, non-intelligent races cannot manipulate elemental energy; otherwise, their threat would be no less than that of a tough, resilient biological space mothership.
Although the massive bio-space mothership was far less agile within the atmosphere than it was in the void, its all-out attack was still not to be underestimated. The Andes Mountains near the west coast of the South American continent were directly vaporized by the high-energy beam condensed by the bio-space mothership, creating a huge gap with a diameter of about 500 meters. The blazing torrent of photons even pierced through the atmosphere, plunging diagonally into the void, vaporizing more than a dozen artificial satellites in different orbits along the way. Moreover, within a kilometer radius of the beam's passage, the energy that leaked out caused localized extreme heat, burning plants and animals on the ground into ashes and melting rocks and soil, creating a scene resembling the end of the world. Anyone who saw it would not be able to help but gasp in horror.
This is only the power of one strike.
Everyone immediately understood why Chen Fei prioritized eliminating these behemoths at all costs.
If we cannot strike first and eliminate them, the damage caused by the unbridled attacks of the biological space motherships within the atmosphere will be incalculable; even a single one could be enough to wipe out the entire human civilization on Earth.
With the combined efforts of the First Sovereign and several other sovereigns on the European continent, the battles in the "Mercury Star" and "Giant Turtle Star" anomaly regions, which were on the verge of collapse, had not been stabilized for long. As if it had been anticipated, the "Sagali" civilization began to send out biological space motherships in waves, not one by one, but in groups of three to five at a time. A dense array of biological combat weapons also poured out in an endless stream. As a result, the sovereigns had to use tactical neutron bombs multiple times to barely keep their retreating defensive lines at a distance of about 30 kilometers from the anomaly regions, which was exactly within the effective range of conventional heavy artillery.
At least tens of thousands of large-caliber heavy cannons roared day and night, continuously launching high-explosive shells along with railguns with even longer range and greater power, relentlessly bombarding the biological combat weapons that were crashing against the defensive line like a tidal wave. Even if the explosions left mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they could not stop these monsters from advancing wave after wave.
Thousands of air defense systems distributed around the "abnormal zone" were also firing continuously. Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, Phalanx CIWS, and missiles formed a crossfire network to intercept the flying biological combat weapons and the more threatening "pod-shaped airships." Hundreds of combat aircraft and nearly a hundred combat airships were also patrolling the nearby skies, responsible for clearing out any that slipped through the air defense system. Chen Fei's airship combat cluster and the First Sovereign's airship formation became the main combat forces, while the local sovereign and its surrounding allies were completely relegated to supporting roles. It wasn't that they didn't want to contribute, but rather that they simply couldn't!
“These guys are never going to stop! Rookie, you can sleep a little longer. The sovereigns can still hold on for now.”
The S-class ability user who was standing guard watched as Chen Fei, still half-asleep, yawned and sat up from his cot. He casually made a gesture in the air, and the alarm clock that was simulating an audio signal in his mind stopped abruptly.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. If I keep sleeping, I'm afraid I won't wake up again anytime soon."
Chen Fei shook his head, waved to the monk not far away, and said, "Have a cup of strong tea to refresh yourself."
Strong tea, like coffee, is rich in caffeine and has the same energizing effect. The monks at the stall also have small pastries; I wonder where they find the time to make these things.
"Eat something first, then drink tea, otherwise it will upset your stomach!"
Miyoshi Gakusen put down the plate of snacks in front of Chen Fei before pouring him a cup of lukewarm tea.
He was the only one here who could provide food anytime, anywhere. As for the others, they basically just ate military rations and didn't pick and choose their food at all, nor did they have time to do so.
Louis Langdon, having ended his discussion with the staff representatives, turned around and said, "You should rest a little longer; we'll keep watch for you!"
The number of staff members sent to the bridge compartment has tripled, divided into four groups, taking turns every six hours to monitor the battlefields around the planet and outside the atmosphere. If Chen Fei is resting, he will be woken up in time in case of an emergency.
This war of attrition is not only depleting Chen Fei's and the Blue Star's sovereigns' war potential and resource reserves, but it is also wearing down Chen Fei's spirit. If the flesh and blood carrying a large number of "flying ship black vine" spores cannot be recycled into the "boundary bead" life space in time, they will soon sprout and grow at an extremely fast speed. Once a large number of "pods" hatch, the ever-increasing pressure will eventually overwhelm the Blue Star human civilization.
The more advanced the civilizational conflict, the simpler and more unpretentious the strategies and tactics become. All conspiracies, tricks, and ingenious ideas are nonexistent. One can overcome all difficulties with sheer force and simply crush the enemy throughout the entire process.
The sovereigns of Earth had long since given up any illusions. This was a war of life or death. Only by destroying the "Sagara" civilization could their civilization continue to thrive; otherwise, all would be lost.
It wasn't just the personnel in the bridge compartment of the 1,000-meter-long airship "Command Ship No. 2" who took turns on duty; the same was true on the battlefield, where they were even divided into more echelons, with a large number of personnel and combat equipment being deployed to combat in shifts.
The continuous stream of biological combat weapons and the successive arrival of biological space motherships have led to a massive accumulation of corpses. What was originally a daily collection has now become an hourly collection due to the escalating intensity of the war. This is not only because the corpses cause decay, disease, and environmental pollution, but also because the "flying ship black vine" spores hidden within them grow rapidly under the stimulation of the large amount of flesh and blood, becoming uncontrollable.
The fourth "abnormal zone" on the southern continent of the Americas, which has the largest coverage and the most intense offensive, requires Chen Fei to be personally in charge, which means that his already limited rest time has to be greatly reduced.
After all, he was only human. Although he could rely on his youth and strength to last for three to five days without any problem, after six or seven days, Chen Fei's energy and spirit were obviously much weaker, and he even developed dark circles under his eyes.
"It's okay, let's hurry up and go!"
Chen Fei shook his head, looked at Herseman Brown, and said, "Mr. Brown, let's go!"
This S-class ability user also worked very hard, but he could rest immediately after using his ability "spatial teleportation" to complete a round, while Chen Fei couldn't relax.
The Azure Star also collected a lot of flesh and blood from biological combat weapons, which were stored in a super-large capacity space-type alchemical storage artifact. Every day, several million cubic meters of these artifacts are sent over through the "Star Gate." Otherwise, if they are left to accumulate for a long time and cannot be disposed of in time, problems can easily arise.
Last night there was an unexpected situation: braised octopus. Today at noon it'll be prawns again. I'm going to be lazy; I'll just stir-fry some soy sauce and cooking wine in oil, throw in a few scallions, and call it a day. The goosegrass in the yard has overgrown. I had no choice but to spray it with wall mold remover, and it was all dead in less than four hours—it's even more deadly than weed killer!
