Chapter 855: Sky Curtain: Enemy at the Gate (XII)

In the mountain house, the battle was fierce.

Countless corpses were now lying on the originally deserted mountain road. This was because the defenses in many caves had been breached, forcing people to flee outside and be chased by foul light and alien objects, causing this tragic situation.

In order to buy enough time for Wei Ran, Lin Yi and others, Cheng Xiong and others paid a heavy price.

After a large panoramic rendering, the camera locked on Cheng Long and others in a cave.

They gathered in a huge square in front of a "city gate", standing or sitting anywhere, eating in silence, and everyone looked exhausted both physically and mentally.

"This is the last gate. There is no way to retreat. I guess the situation in the other caves is similar." Hui Yinghong said in a low voice.

"Soon." Chenglong took a bite of the black fruit and spoke briefly without revealing too much expression. Everything was within his expectations. It was just that even though his companions knew about the future, they could not see the future scenes as clearly as he did. Now that the situation had become desperate, it was difficult for him to say much.

"Roar..." The roar of a strange beast was heard outside the cave. Everyone present picked up their weapons reflexively and stood up to face the cave entrance. The sharp sounds of the cold weapons were very cold and solemn.

The strange beasts came out, and the group of foul lights also appeared, attacking people rapidly.

The soldiers all looked stern and formed into rows, ready for battle.

But just when the two sides were about to collide, the group of strange beasts suddenly "braked", stopped and roared, and the group of foul lights also flashed brightly as if they sensed a huge crisis.

Immediately afterwards, the group of strange beasts and the group of foul lights seemed to have received a strong signal. They abandoned Cheng Xiong and others without any hesitation and retreated like a tide.

This scene made everyone stunned, but they did not relax their vigilance for a moment, until Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief and said as I expected: "They succeeded."

After hearing this, everyone relaxed and many people sat down on the ground, finally getting a good rest.

In the eyes of the audience, cold weapons have the passion of cold weapons, and hot weapons have the passion of hot weapons. The two kinds of stimulation given by the switching scenes are different, but they both end up in the same word: cool.

However, under the all-round firepower coverage of hot weapons, the combat method of cold weapons seems somewhat limited. Faced with the full-screen blasting aesthetics of the modern army, how can Cheng Xiong and other people in the Mountain House fit in and play their role? This is what many viewers are looking forward to.

But the modern army in the picture was fighting vigorously, with all kinds of missiles flying all over the sky like they were free, making arcs of light appear in the air, and making the groups of foul lights and mutated birds flee in panic. At the same time, a vast amount of "reinforcements" came pouring in from the sky above the mountain houses.

The officers and surveillance personnel were slightly stunned when they saw this scene through the screen.

The soldiers fighting outside looked up at the sky, also in a daze.

Chu Xuan descended from the sky and landed gorgeously. After reuniting with Liu Yifei, he looked at the situation of the "reinforcements" in the sky and said bitterly, "What we encountered here is really a small force."

The audience smiled under the visual impact. What the male protagonist Wei Ran said was true. Compared with the endless painting of flowing light coming from the mountain house, the enemy forces on the modern army's side really felt like a small team.

"Look, their target is not us!" Dillon came back to his senses from the shock.

Above the sky, the flowing light was like a Milky Way waterfall woven from a sea of ​​stars. Its direction of movement was not towards the modern military base near the sky, but towards the south with the sky as the north. That direction was where their lair was.

They were flying high above the cracks in the sky, apparently trying to avoid the light coming through the cracks.

From this we can see that these alien life forms are not afraid of the firepower of the modern army and do not attack, but because the modern army is located in the direction of the crack in the sky, what they are really afraid of is the sunlight shining through.

Perhaps that is why they received the order from the "king" to return to their nest for defense.

The closer the area is to the sky, the shallower the degree of transformation. Conversely, the further south the area is, the deeper the degree of transformation.

The farther away from the sky, the more light air like yellow sand fills the sky of the whole world, which can block the sunlight like fog, just like the misty scene above the mountains and houses.

The old nest is the center of the world transformation. The yellow sand fog in the sky is thicker and can more effectively block the radiation of sunlight.

The "king" summoned these foul lights to return to defend the nest, and it was also as if he was telling these humans: I am waiting for you in the nest, and I just ask if you dare to come.

The officers were relieved to see that the numerous enemy troops were not targeting them, but they became worried again when they saw that the enemy troops were heading deeper into this strange world as if they were preparing to wait for them.

The Sky Curtain is constantly squeezing the living space of the normal world. Developing other worlds to provide more living space for humans is also the country's goal. Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate all these ghost things that pose a major threat to them.

But humans in the normal world are temporarily unable to go deep into the alien world as their bodies are not yet adapted to the foreign substances in the air, so going there would be a death wish.

Seeing this, the audience understood one thing. This setting, which has been mentioned twice, is obviously prepared for the people in Chengxiong's mountain house. People in the normal world cannot go deep into the other world, but the "natives" of this other world do not pose this threat.

Cheng Xiong and his companions' bodies have long adapted to the environment of the other world. This can be seen from their extremely strong physical fitness. The bodies of those people in the Qunshan House are more or less in a state of abnormality, and they seem to have broken through the limits of the human body, otherwise they would not be so powerful.

It depends on the officers in the picture making the decision not to expose the soldiers, but to use tanks, armored vehicles, fighter jets and other enclosed equipment to advance southward with the goal of finding their lair.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Calling the command center, the plane has lost signal, the plane has lost signal..."

The fighter group flew south, and a pilot in one of the planes reported the emergency, but no news came from the command center, which meant that the two sides had lost contact.

The yellow sand fog seems to not only block sunlight, but also prevent the transmission of satellite signals, rendering electronic equipment useless.

The command center also discovered this situation. As the plane went deeper into the south, the transmission of satellite signals became more and more obstructed, until a red exclamation mark indicating no signal appeared on the screen.

This reveals a problem. Without satellite signals, there is no information to guide the direction, and all kinds of guided weapons and electronic weapons cannot be located, leaving operators of various equipment to fire blindly.

Asking people to launch missiles blindly with their naked eyes? This is undoubtedly a joke, and it is impossible to do it in the three-dimensional world.

Therefore, military officers hurriedly changed their strategy and recalled all aerospace fighters, as well as some land missile vehicles and electronic vehicles.

Fortunately, the boundless sky and the crack connecting heaven and earth provided guidance, allowing the pilots to successfully find the direction and fly the fighter plane back.

In such a situation, only the armored vehicles and tanks of the melee troops can advance forward. The firepower output of these two types of equipment does not require satellite signal guidance, and manual aiming is sufficient.

Just like that, armored vehicles and tanks advanced into the depths of the other world. Dillon was the commander, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei followed to guard.

The scene changed and came to a vast plain area.

In the eyes of the audience, the eternal afterglow of the sunset is like a layer of dim gauze, tightly covering everything in front of them, making the entire world in their eyes immersed in this old picture that seems to never fade away.

The sense of déjà vu of both decay and immortality is very strong, as if countless fragments of time have settled here, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The closer we got to the south of the suspected alien nest, the sparser the silver-grey flowers and plants became, with only scattered traces left on the plain, as if they too were afraid of something and wanted to retreat.

The withered yellow trees stood alone on the hill, and only one or two could be seen occasionally. Their dry branches twisted and stretched towards the sky, as if telling the sky about the desolation and sadness of this place.

On the ground, there was no other sound except the heavy and monotonous rolling sound of tank tracks, the dull sound of the wheels of armored vehicles when they were moving, and the shattering sound of vehicles rolling over the yellow soil and the stones and sand on the ground.

The sound of tracks and wheels continued to echo in the silence, as if the footsteps of death were gradually approaching. The eerie atmosphere made people's hearts seem to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every beat was accompanied by a hint of panic.

The light and shadow scene was rendered so well that the audience became nervous unconsciously. Even though there was no extra movement in the picture, it gave everyone a feeling that something was about to happen.

Sure enough, in the close-up shot, a bulge appeared in the yellow sand ground in front of the convoy. This bulge was like an earthworm in the soil, slowly wriggling underground, and it was divided into two ends, one on the left and one on the right, forming a circle.

Having lost surveillance and electronic equipment, the soldiers could only observe the environment with their naked eyes and did not notice any unusual movements on the ground ahead.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were also resting their eyes in the car, oblivious to the little movements in the outside world.

Seeing that the convoy was about to advance to the "encirclement", the audience couldn't help but hold their breath, and their heartbeats seemed to stop at this moment. Some female audience members also raised their hands to cover their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed, making a look of fear and desire to watch.

"Boom——"

The atmosphere was originally filled with no background music but only the sound of cars, but suddenly there was an earth-shaking sound, which startled the audience.

Looking closely at the screen, it seemed as if some huge monster was born from under the earth. The soil and yellow sand were arched up very high. The dozen tanks and armored vehicles in front were instantly blown away, and then crashed to the ground, exploding or shattering.

All the remaining soldiers were caught off guard. As the vehicle braked suddenly, they all picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also opened their eyes suddenly. As mutants, they were not afraid of the environment of the alien world. They opened the door and got out of the car, then quickly closed the door.

Commander Ti Lung was even more anxious and furious when he saw that so many of his comrades in front of him were missing, either alive or dead.

In the long-range shot from mid-air, one can see the earth and sand rising up in front of him. The height difference is almost as high as a 30-story building, which is quite shocking.

As the rolling mud and sand continued to slide down, something that looked like a quicksand giant appeared before the audience.

"Oh shit!" Many viewers felt a surge of excitement due to the emergence of fresh elements.

"Wow!" Some female viewers also felt a new level of visual impact.

This quicksand giant has hands and feet, but only one eye on its head. The eye is very large, and has a grayish-white foul color. It flashes with a strange light, which makes people shudder.

"Boom--" A tank shell hit the giant, creating a hole at the ankle, but the hole closed as the rolling quicksand closed, causing no harm at all.

The reason why the giant's ankle was hit was because the height of the tank was only up to the giant's ankle.

Faced with such a sudden change, Dillon and other soldiers were at a loss. Even Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei outside looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Liu Yifei successfully combined the silver chain on her left hand, and when she bent the bow, an energy arrow condensed out. The arrow flew and shot at the heart of the giant in an instant. The exploding halo froze the space, and for a moment the giant stood still on the spot, and the flowing mud and sand on his body also stopped moving.

Just when the audience was happy that the heroine was so powerful, and just when the soldiers were feeling fortunate about this situation, the quicksand giant slowly moved, but was only delayed by the power of time and space and failed to effectively stop the monster.

The audience stared, is this monster so powerful?

The soldiers were confused. What the hell was this thing?

Liu Yifei frowned. This was the first time her ability failed.

Chu Xuan's face became serious when he saw this, but he was actually accumulating energy in his body.

There was a whistling sound, and a human-shaped air wave broke through the giant's chest like an instant teleportation, forming a larger hole.

However, compared to the effect caused by the artillery shells, the impact force caused by Chu Xuan only made the monster recover a little slower, and it still recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Xuan teleported to Liu Yifei's side. Even the two of them with super powers could not handle such a thing.

The quicksand giant just raised his huge foot, regardless of the silent resistance of the soldiers who were seriously injured after falling beside the armored vehicle. With a "bang", the foot fell down, and the armored vehicle was completely shattered. The fate of the soldiers inside could be imagined.

Dillon in the car was furious. He picked up a rocket launcher and was about to open the door to go out and fight.

The door was halfway open when Chu Xuan pushed it back: "Uncle Jiang, calm down, let's leave."

Liu Yifei's face was calm, and she said to the angry Dillon, "We'll think of a solution when we get back."

Just like that, the remaining armored vehicles and tanks turned around, and the operation to advance and search for the nest failed halfway.

Seeing these humans trying to escape, the Quicksand Giant raised his legs and started chasing them. Although his movements seemed slow, each step covered a distance of hundreds of meters. From the high-altitude bird's-eye view, the armored vehicles and tanks could not outrun them at all and were being chased closer and closer.

Everything on the screen showed a slight tremor at the military base in front of the sky, causing everyone to stop and become nervous. They raised their eyes to the southern sky where the epicenter had occurred. The mountains, hills and trees blocked their view and they could not see anything. However, they could feel that their own troops were facing an unknown but terrifying crisis.

The scene swept across and returned to the plain area. The quicksand giant had caught up with them and was about to smash an armored vehicle with his foot when a human-shaped air wave flashed in front of him and dispersed the giant's raised foot.

However, the giant lost his balance and stumbled forward. If he had fallen down, not only would the armored vehicle be in trouble, but also a large number of vehicles in front would have been finished.

Seeing that Chu Xuan had good intentions but did something bad, Liu Yifei took timely measures to remedy the situation.

In slow motion, it looks like a person jumping out of a car moving at high speed.

Liu Yifei jumped out of the car, then tapped the ground with her toes and rotated half of her body in mid-air to face the back. Her body was tilted, and the inertia of the fast speed made her body move forward.

In this posture, she quickly bent the bow and arrow in mid-air, and shot another arrow.

When the camera returned to normal playback speed, Liu Yifei rolled on the ground three times, and finally stabilized her body by supporting herself with her right hand, kneeling on one right knee, and sticking the bow in her left hand on the ground. She looked at the giant in front of her with raised eyebrows.

"too handsome!!"

"Sa! Sa! Sa!"

"She really has the ability to win fans. I love Liu Yifei so much!"

As movie fans, you can tell at a glance that this kind of car-jumping stunt was designed by Cheng Long, who used to love playing these things the most.

However, as Chenglong gets older, he can no longer perform many stunts, which makes movie fans feel a little regretful.

Unexpectedly, such difficult stunts were performed by Liu Yifei, and combined with Liu Yifei's cool face and neat movements, it was indeed a very cool and exciting scene, which also refreshed many viewers' perceptions of Liu Yifei.

There are always people saying that Liu Yifei's acting is not good. Let's not talk about whether she is good or not. As for the actions in this movie, how many actresses can do it? This is strength!
On the screen, the giant was frozen in place by an arrow, giving the moving vehicles time to escape.

After a while, the state of the quicksand giant's tilted body fixed on the ground returned to normal. As it supported the ground with its huge right hand, its right foot that was broken by Chu Xuan also recovered, and it stood up again and continued to chase the human in front.

Seeing this scene, many viewers shouted in their hearts: Run, run!
Judging from the current plot situation, if the male and female protagonists want to outrun this big monster, they will have to repeat their previous actions, and the plot will lose some vitality. After all, repeated elements will become boring if you watch them too much.

Thanks to the crew's design, the people from the Mountain House finally appeared.

As the saying goes, you finish your performance and I take the stage. The modern army provides the shocking scenes of firepower coverage. As a part of the story and a core member, it is naturally their turn to dominate the final ending of the movie.

"call--"

"call--"

"call--"

After hearing a few fierce whistling sounds, a dozen arrows appeared in the sky nearby.

Unlike the small bow and arrow of Concubine Liu Yi, the flying arrows were dozens of meters long.

Audiences who know history will know that this is a large crossbow arrow.

In ancient times, there was a kind of crossbow called a chariot crossbow. The chassis was the size of a catapult, and an arrow was ten or even dozens of meters long. It was used to deal with heavily armored cavalry and for sieges, so a crossbow arrow was both hard and very long.

In the picture, there were a dozen long crossbow arrows, each of which was shining with light. Then there were "chi chi chi..." sounds, and a dozen crossbow arrows pierced into the giant's body.

The giant, which was still moving, suddenly stopped. The star mineral energy contained in a dozen crossbow arrows suddenly exploded, blasting a dozen holes in various parts of the giant's body. Immediately, quicksand fell to the ground like a waterfall, and the entire giant perished.

The audience was amazed at the scene. Where did these arrows come from? Why were they so powerful? Did the people from the Mountain House come? Where were they?
The camera turned and saw a large number of people appearing at the end of the side of the plain.

There were dozens of military phalanxes, with crossbows and catapults in the front, as well as movable arrow towers with two rows of eight wheels, and different ferocious beasts as mounts. All the people were fully armed, wearing armor and helmets.

At first glance, is this the million-strong army of the Mountain House?

"Wow!!" the audience exclaimed.

At the beginning, the people in the Mountain House only showed their individual strengths, and the visual effect was very good.

In the subsequent plot, the special effects of the group firepower burst out by the modern army suppressed the visual effect brought by the power displayed by the individuals in the mountain house.

And now, as the ending is approaching, the strange millions of troops displayed by the Mountain House, the neatly arranged formations, the cold and iron-clad appearance, the novelty brought by the bizarre weapons and devices, and the wonderful feeling brought by the wild beast mounts, once again surpassed the modern army and made the visual impact reach a boiling point.

The audience's emotions were also ignited by this. The people from the Mountain House have arrived. Modern armies cannot penetrate into the other world, but the people from the Mountain House can. Moreover, it is such a large-scale and powerful army of millions, which indicates that the decisive battle is about to begin...
