The cheers from the warship port continued, and people enjoyed this rare victory with nostalgia, although they would not last long until the war was interrupted.

The No. 3 gate, which was hit by the Desert, stood desolately. The increasing wind pressure evolved into screams through the gaps between the broken stones. The harsh sound was in front of the black hole with intertwined canines, like the huge mouth of an abyss monster, with its teeth dancing and claws so much that it was about to choose people.

"Hey! What's the sound?"

A soldier holding an electromagnetic gun slapped his comrades next to him and asked carefully. He had a strong fear of the sound.

"Report to the command center!" The soldier's face turned pale, and the joy of victory just now disappeared instantly.

"Sir! A large number of squid legions were found outside the gate No. 3. The holographic sensor showed that there were at least 100,000!" After receiving the news, the adjutant rolled and crawled in front of Locke, and reported with a solemn face.

Bang!

Locke smashed the podium that was scrapped by electromagnetic pulses and shouted in anger: "Damn it! How could it be so fast?"

The adjutant smiled wryly and said to the angry boss in front of him: "When the Desert came back, it was discovered by the squid corps. It almost penetrated the entire corps from beginning to end. Although several captains cooperated with each other to temporarily repel them, this exposed our ammunition and food exhaustion, and the squid corps accelerated the offensive!"

Locke took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. As the commander-in-chief of Zion, he had to remain absolutely calm in the battle. Anger would only make things worse. After a moment of silence, Locke issued an order: "Retreat all! Block all vertical passages!"

"There are still a large number of wounded soldiers at the warship port that have not been cleared out! What should I do?" the adjutant asked anxiously.

"Abandon them!" Locke said coldly, turning back to the adjutant's eyes, "It's all for Zion!"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely.

At the warship port, soldiers conveyed their orders loudly. The civilians and guerrillas were intertwined and everyone was busy evacuating. Although the order to abandon the wounded seemed a bit cold-blooded, it was not a satisfactory understanding for those who had been fighting with the Machine Legion for many years and were on the battlefield almost every day. After all, leaving the hope of life to those who had greater chances was the reason why Zion passed on it.

The soldier who broke the rear loudly urged the remaining people, and looked back at the gloomy gate No. 3, which was gloomy and ferocious. He suddenly shook his whole body, his face changed color, and he looked back at the people who were still entering the shelter, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, and shouted loudly: "They are here!"

If sacrifice can save others, I will face it calmly!

Before he could finish his speech, tens of thousands of mechanical squids suddenly spewed out of the gloomy beast mouth of the gate No. 3. They were like angry hornets, flying out of the beehives, and they wanted to give a fatal blow to the enemy who offends them.

The dense squid occupied the entire warship port. The little soldier who broke the rear shot with determination and resolute faces. The blue veins on his arms swayed rapidly, swaying left and right, hoping to eliminate as many squids as possible.

The little warrior died! But he completed the mission, and he chose to protect at the last moment of his life. The word "great" is so frequent on the battlefield, so frequent that it is inconspicuous. But the last group of transferees who witnessed this scene still shed tears. They were not moved, but just missed them.

The squids didn't care about these. They came again with a larger number, occupying all the favorable positions with ease, killing all the creatures that were still breathing. The legions behind were still pouring in, and the number of 100,000 was far from being accommodated by a small warship port. Their battle had just begun.

A patrolling squid discovered a drill bit robot that stopped operating. It pounced on it, and the nearby squids surrounded it like vines, entangling it tightly.

‘What are they doing?’ The observer asked in surprise as he looked at the image inside the monitor.

No one spoke, just stared at the monitor tightly, praying without listening. Now they could only watch the squids act freely in the warship port without any way to stop them.

The squids surrounded the drill bit robots that were destroyed by the guerrillas, and the lightning kept wandering on the huge body of the drill bit. The squeaking current and the squids who were not replaced were clearly telling people that the drill bit robots were repairing.

‘shit!’ Locke looked at the drill bit with a pale face and started running again. He stomped his feet hard and turned toward the temple. He knew that the council must be waiting for his report, because the repair of the drill bit made the entire first half of the war meaningless.

‘How long can our external wall last?’ The old lady Speaker, who was still dignified and luxurious, asked calmly.

‘In less than two hours!’ Locke answered calmly. At this time, he could only calm down and could not save any problems.

‘We have no possibility of resistance?’ A member of the congressman next to him interrupted and asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

Locke glanced at the three captains standing in the corner of the wall, lowered his head and said calmly: "No!" Although the electromagnetic pulse that broke out at the last erupted from the Desert killed the vanguard of the Squid Legion, it also captured all Zion's counterattack power in one fell swoop!

The three captains were silent. They knew that they were a little reckless at that time, but they did not regret it. If they had not arrived in time, Zion would have fallen!

The members of the parliament discussed each other, but there was no result. Even if the political persons had some understanding of the military, they were definitely not as good as professionals. So they turned their attention to Locke and said, "What else can we do now?"

Locke's eyes were calm and his expression was calm. He had no expectations for the victory of this war. He said lightly: "Transfer everyone to the temple at the bottom of his mouth to avoid it. Look forward to the miracle!"

Morpheus stepped forward, his face full of determination and reminded: "Neo!"

Everyone's expressions moved. The Speaker opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but still didn't say it. Finally, he just waved his hand and said, "Do it like this! Gather all the civilians in the temple. I hope to retain a little of the human fire!"

An hour and a half later, Morpheus and Neobie carefully hid in the bottom layer, and the broken stone walls and collapsed steel iron pillars formed simple hidden objects to hide behind them. The two of them carefully stretched their heads and looked at them for a long time, making their eyes sour and astringent, but they still stared at the top ceiling without blinking, for fear that the squid army would invade in the moment they blinked!

Kaka~!

A crack appeared in the ceiling, and all the people who were paying close attention to the situation opened their eyes to the maximum instantly.

Another crack intertwined, and a large area of ​​the entire wall panel protruded.

Three more lines appeared, and the protruding walls were covered with cracks, and they were about to fall apart!

Countless cracks were created one after another, and the damaged ceiling finally broke into pieces and fell down. The huge drill bit of the drill bit robot slowly revealed its true appearance, slowly rotating and smashing it straight down. The potential energy of gravity continued to transform into faster and faster speeds, easily breaking the iron bridge of the barrier road and hitting it hard on the floor at the bottom. No one noticed that the tip of the drill bit was just plunged into the vertical passage leading to the bottom.

No one paid attention to the falling big drill bit, everyone's eyes were focused on the hole that appeared on the ceiling, everyone lowered their bodies and tried to hide as much as possible, they knew that the squid army was coming!

Sure enough, a large number of squids came out one after another, like a faucet that could not be turned off. After the water composed of squids flowed out, it spread out, and circles of cylindrical space around the center were searching for all living things.

A small group of squids discovered the hiding place of Neobi and the others. The squids rushed up without hesitation, with a shrill sound of wind and endless momentum. Neobi closed her eyes tightly. At the last moment of her life, she did not want to hide her emotions and threw herself into Morpheus's arms without hesitation. She had completely forgotten the electromagnetic gun in her hand, and at this moment she was just a little woman.

Morpheus hugged her tightly, turned around instinctively and blocked her. He closed his eyes tightly, waiting to bear the final blow!

silence.

Still silent!

The expected heavy injury did not hit. The two of them opened their eyes gently, looked at each other quietly, and then turned to the squid.

The violent, dangerous and murderous squids just now became extremely well-behaved and floated quietly in the air. A tentacle opened into a careful radar receiver, and then put away the tentacles and swam quietly!

Morpheus and Neobi looked at each other, and both of them were confused and looked around and found that all the squids had become quiet and harmless. Morpheus was shocked and couldn't help calling out the name: "Neo!"

When the people around him heard this, they all showed joy on their faces and slowly lowered their guns. They were originally sad and angry and slowly eliminated their thoughts of dying together.

A shocking look appeared on Neobi's face inconcealable way, and he murmured: "Neo! What did you do!"

Just when the war between the crowd was about to turn because of the Savior, the hollow above suddenly began to flow out a denser squid legion. This legion was different from the one just now. They were not dispersed, and they were still hugging each other tightly to form a cylindrical shape, falling from the sky like a black giant python and piercing straight on the ground, flowing through like a waterfall. They didn't know that the head of the giant python was piercing the place where the drill bit hit just now.

A young soldier suddenly couldn't help but shouted in an incredible tone: "They are purple!"

That's right! They are purple, which means that the world's biggest robber is about to appear!
