Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Threat

"Access granted."

A notification immediately popped up on the control screen.

"How is that possible?"

Dr. Xu Rui was stunned when he saw the notification.

Qiansha, Rein, and the others were also filled with disbelief. They couldn’t understand how Long Ming had cracked it. He wasn’t a native!

Just then, Qian Luobing’s icy gaze fell on the ring on Long Ming’s finger. She spoke with a cool indifference.

"You used that ring on your hand for the authorization, didn’t you?"

"Yes."

Long Ming smiled and replied.

"I knew it! How could you possibly have Aniska Empire clearance?"

Dr. Xu Rui suddenly realized.

"Never mind that for now. Hurry up and check how far along the construction of this climate device is."

Qiansha immediately urged Dr. Xu Rui.

"Right!"

Dr. Xu Rui and the others immediately began operating the console, pulling up stored data files one after another.

Long Ming and the others waited quietly.

Everyone was incredibly tense. Everything hinged on this.

’If the completion level on this climate device is too low, we’re finished!’

Just then, as Dr. Xu Rui looked over the data files he’d pulled up, his expression grew increasingly excited. He turned to the others, ecstatic, and shouted.

"We’ve hit the jackpot! This climate device is already 95% complete! And I’ve already figured out which parts aren’t finished. Most importantly, all the materials for the repairs have already been delivered here!"

"You mean it can be repaired?"

Qiansha and the others asked, overjoyed.

"It can be repaired, but it will take at least three days."

Dr. Xu Rui replied excitedly.

"Excellent. Since it can be repaired, get started on it immediately!"

Qiansha gave the order to Xu Rui and his team.

"No problem."

Xu Rui and his team responded excitedly.

Then, Qiansha turned to Qian Luobing and the others, his expression grim as he spoke.

"You all heard him. Hope is right in front of us. But we can’t celebrate too early. Our arrival here has already alerted the Blood Breath Beasts. I estimate it won’t be long before those damned bastards rush over to surround and annihilate us."

"Then what should we do?"

Luoxue and the others all looked to Qiansha and asked.

"Everyone, start clearing the entire base. Kill every last Blood Breath Beast, find any usable weapons, and start setting up defenses!"

Qiansha commanded the group.

"Yes, sir!"

Long Ming and the others turned and left the central control room.

The group returned to the transit hall and split up, heading towards different passageways.

Long Ming followed Luoxue and her group into the rightmost passage, following it to the end until they reached a storage area.

The area was filled with rooms.

"ROAR!"

Scattered Blood Breath Beasts crawled out.

Luoxue looked at these Blood Breath Beasts and immediately gave an order.

"Clear them all out!"

Long Ming and the others raised their guns and fired.

BANG! BANG!

One by one, the Blood Breath Beasts were shot down.

Long Ming and the others split into small teams and began clearing the rooms one by one.

「Over an hour later.」

Long Ming and Jing Chuan stood in a storage room, surrounded by piles of mechanical parts.

"Damn, we’ve searched this whole area and haven’t found a single weapon."

Jing Chuan said, a little annoyed.

"That’s to be expected. They’re probably in another sector."

Long Ming said to Jing Chuan.

"Fine, let’s go!"

Jing Chuan didn’t complain any further.

The two of them left.

A moment later, Luoxue led Long Ming and the others back to the transit hall.

Qiansha, Qian Luobing, and the others were already gathered there.

"All cleared?"

Qiansha asked, looking at the group.

"All clear."

Everyone nodded in response.

"Did you find any weapons or equipment?"

Qiansha immediately asked.

"No. We only found a few weapons near some of the remains, and most of them were damaged."

"Same here."

"Same."

...

Qian Hai and the others reported with solemn expressions.

Qiansha frowned after hearing the reports.

"Looks like our luck is running low, but no matter. Alang, take a team and repair the blast door at the main entrance."

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Alang immediately accepted the order and left with his men.

"The rest of you, grab your own weapons and start setting up defenses!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, Long Ming and the others sprang into action.

「Aniska Royal City Ruins, Palace Plaza.」

The King-level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, constantly extended its tentacles, coiling around nearby Blood Breath Beasts and devouring them. It then transferred the nutrients through extended blood feelers to Hilic, who was in the state of a fleshy, tumorous sphere.

Hilic was no longer in its previous explosive state; the glow emanating from the entire tumorous sphere had dimmed.

Just then, a Blood Breath Bird descended from the sky.

Xi’om gazed into the Blood Breath Bird’s eyes and instantly saw the information being relayed from the Lord-level Argoslo. It muttered to itself in a low voice.

"Those damned ants have started to move. They’ve run to the area behind the Royal City."

Xi’om’s thoughts raced. Although it didn’t know why these humans had fled to the mountains behind the Royal City, it sensed a conspiracy brewing.

This group of humans was weaker than the last, but they were far more cunning, insidious, and ruthless. And, unexpectedly, they were united.

Therefore, it couldn’t give them any chance to catch their breath.

With this thought, Xi’om let out a peculiar roar.

"AWOOO~"

Instantly, of the swarms of Blood Breath Beasts that had returned to reinforce the Royal City, a portion charged toward Famons Secret Base.

At the same time, it dispatched Blood Breath Birds to the south.

Xi’om intended to wipe out all the humans in one fell swoop. The primary reason was the immense threat it felt. Its current situation was dire: a vast number of its Blood Breath Beasts had been killed, Makari had fallen in battle, and Hilic was gravely wounded.

’If this drags on any longer, the tables could turn.’

「Mountain City Mountain, City Lord’s Mansion, Bedroom.」

City Lord Qian Luo lay weakly on the bed and asked Qian Ying hoarsely.

"Is there any news from Qiansha and the others?"

"Not yet."

Qian Ying shook his head.

"Sigh..."

City Lord Qian Luo couldn’t help but sigh at Qian Ying’s words. With no news yet, it seemed the odds were against them.

"Father, don’t worry. Perhaps news will arrive soon."

Qian Ying quickly tried to console him.

"You don’t need to comfort me."

Qian Luo shook his head slightly.

BZZT~

Just then, Qian Ying’s bracelet suddenly vibrated.

He glanced down and then spoke with pleasant surprise.

"Father, I just received a message. Qiansha and his team have successfully landed at Famons Base and have activated the base’s central control console. After an inspection by Dr. Xu Rui and his team, the climate controller’s construction is 95% complete. They just need a little time to get it running!"

"Wonderful. It seems we have hope after all."

Hearing Qian Ying’s words, a smile appeared on City Lord Qian Luo’s face. The heavy weight on his heart lightened.

Although he had weathered countless storms in his life, this was by far the most perilous.
