Chapter 202 The first shot in the night(1/2)
"Has the Moon Spirit changed?"
Xu Le uses Gu Yin Duo's spiritual energy. He can absorb Yue Ling, but he needs to go through a stable ritual. It is faster to ask Ai Li directly now.
"There are changes. The feeling has weakened a lot, but this weakening is compared with the previous red moon."
Alley's explanation made Xu Le immediately understand that the red moon had indeed become weaker, but this weakening was compared to previous red moons.
"According to normal circumstances, the arrival of the black tide is when the power of the red moon is the most powerful. If it becomes weaker at this time, why?"
Xu Le pinched his chin.
Then Ai Li, Wang Shu, Toad and other creatures on the side also pinched their chins.
Xu Le glanced at them:
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"No." These people said in unison.
"Okay." Xu Le shook his head. No one was willing to come up with any ideas. It would be difficult to lead the team!
Xu Le turned on the ethereal state, thought seriously, made analysis, and reached conclusions.
"Is there a possibility that the red moon dimmed because the moon spirit was harmed?"
This statement put forward by Xu Le made several other people look at each other. Will Hongyue be harmed? What a joke.
"But the red moon is in the sky?"
"Yes, the red moon is in the sky." Xu Le nodded, he also knew this.
But he was also very confused. What was the scream that the red moon made every time there was a black tide? It sounded like the scream of some kind of creature...
Moreover, the Kuroshio is called the Red Moon Catastrophe by Gu Yinduo. Doesn’t it mean the Red Moon Catastrophe?
Seeing Xu Le thinking there, Wang Shu took the initiative to walk over and said to the others:
"Everyone is on defense. The situation is unclear at the moment. Even if there is any problem, it is not something that one can control.
Do your job well and protect yourself more than anything else."
"yes."
As the moonlight gradually dimmed, the sky attracted many people's attention.
Not only Xu Le and the others, but other mercenaries around them also noticed this. The lights were gradually turned on. The moon was still red, but the entire night no longer had the same bloody night state as before.
It turned into the same dark night as before.
This is not a good sign.
At the very least, in the past, there was no need to consider lighting issues during the dark tide. Now that it has become dark, the first thing that is most stressful is the city defense.
If any large monster appears, it is impossible to focus fire from a distance to kill it due to the darkness. If the monster rushes too close, it is likely to break through the obstacle.
Now we can only hope that Zion's plains expansion policy is effective.
Woo! ~ Woo! ~
When many mercenaries hesitated, Zion's piercing central siren suddenly sounded. Everyone began to look to the sky and saw many steam airships starting to fly towards the city defense area.
"Isn't the risk of putting a steam airship into battle great?"
Xu Le looked at Alley aside. Although steam airships have undergone regional airbag reforms, they will not crash due to damage in one place.
But it is essentially a gas-lifted flying device, and such a device itself carries great risks.
Once the gas cannot remain aloft, the airship will most likely fall.
There are few flying weirdnesses, but they are definitely there.
In a situation like Kuroshio, less has become a relative term.
Alley also frowned slightly after seeing the airship.
"I don't know, I have never been involved in battle before."
Then, these steam airships turned on their lower lights one after another, and the bright red light almost illuminated the earth.
"This? Is it a moonstone lamp?" Xu Le was slightly shocked.
"It's a moonstone lamp." Levis, who had not spoken much, said.
Xu Le and Levis looked at each other. As warlocks, they both knew that although moonstone could be used as lighting energy, this approach was too luxurious.
Moonstone is considered a resource for warlocks, and they have to be careful when conducting research.
Now the Zion government directly uses moonstones as lighting energy. This cannot be described as a luxury. It is simply burning money.
"Is the parliament crazy?" Levis didn't understand.
"I think I was forced to panic." Xu Le began to become less optimistic.
The war must be tense and the situation on the front line is not optimistic, so the Zion Council sent steam airships for lighting work.
Moonstone is very expensive, but if Zion is breached, no matter how expensive it is, it will be nonsense. Only when people are alive, money will become meaningful.
However, Xu Le still has to say with emotion, the Zion Council is really rich, they are like big dogs!
"Brother Shu, take a look, I'll go back and get something."
"OK."
Xu Le returned to the bedroom, and Ding Ke rushed towards him as soon as he entered the door.
Xu Le quickly hugged it and rubbed its head.
"Okay, now is not the time to play."
Meow!
Ding Ke called out obediently, then lay belly down on Xu Le's shoulder.
I haven't laid down in this position for a long time.
Xu Le took out the pistol he had spared before from the drawer, as well as some handmade anima bullets.
After obtaining the power of Gu Yinduo from the cemetery and forming a spiritual energy pool, Xu Le rarely used this thing.
But now it seems there is a need to take it out again.
After moving the magazine and switching the safety, Xu Le felt the unique metallic smell of the firearm and smiled with satisfaction.
"Firearms are really intoxicating."
Going downstairs again, several mercenaries in Wang Jing's regiment were whispering:
"It's so dark. It's even darker than before."
"Okay, stop talking. Even if you don't tell us, we all know, isn't there a light?" Ge Sini said a little irritably.
However, her words also seemed to remind Wang Jing, the group leader who had not expressed much opinions. Tonight, Wang Jing was like a transparent person and did not say much.
Mainly because the current situation is unclear, Wang Shu's performance is already very good.
If she had been in command before, it is very likely that the team would have been wiped out in the first wave of attacks by the Night Familiar.
After hearing someone say that the light was too dark, as a light warlock, she naturally wanted to do her part at this time.
"Art - Illumination."
A bright ball of light rose up and floated above everyone's heads. The warlock's lighting consumed spiritual energy and was essentially the same as moonstone lighting.
In Xu Le's opinion, this is a somewhat unreasonable approach. After all, the total amount of psychic energy involves the state of the warlock himself.
But he didn't say much, as there was no need to offend anyone over this matter.
In the darkness, everyone waited quietly.
At this time, except for the violent explosion of Zion City defenses, no other sounds could be heard.
Just as Alley said, Zion's defense is very strong.
At least in terms of the frequency of artillery fire, it would definitely blow up the lighthouse.
In silence, Xu Le and his party spent an hour safely, and the time came to 1 o'clock in the evening.
According to time calculation, it is already January 1, 360.
Today is also the day of the Chinese New Year. In this month, the air is already much colder than before.
Without the blood of the red moon, the night of waiting outside seemed even colder than before.
Standing there, Xu Le shivered unnaturally.
Ding Ke, who was in his arms, also subconsciously arched towards Xu Le's arms.
"Do you feel a little cold?"
"I have feelings." Wang Shu said the same way.
"It's very cold, and there's something wrong with the coldness." Alley already frowned.
"Something's not right? What should I say?" Xu Le asked.
To be continued...
