Chapter 105 The Last Line of Defense

2pm

Tuk came out of the office exhausted. He had just finished some plans. Now they had to build this town with a population of 300,000 firmly. Everything in the town had resumed production.

Now Tuk had planned everything. He just needed to proceed steadily. The most difficult thing now was to support some towns on the mountainside. Basically, most mutants had gone to some towns on the mountainside and directly used some mutant power generation devices to maintain electricity.

A whole circle of strong light had been built on the mountainside to prevent those black and red tentacles from coming.

Humans had been holding on for three months. As long as they continued to hold on, humans would be able to survive. The tentacles were concentrated just opposite the central forest. Now all humans had joined hands to resist.

The towns in the rear were basically developing production vigorously. Food production had developed comprehensively. The only thing to do now was to supply some lighting equipment and food to the towns in front.

The crisis once again prompted humans to unite. This was unprecedented. Many people helped each other. Everyone was doing everything they could to do what they could, because everyone felt the crisis.

This time is different from the past. Because it is a common enemy of mankind, everyone is now closely united.

Now the Angus family needs to make a large number of replacement strong light lamps as soon as possible. Some raw materials have been collected from various places. Now there is a special mutant team to carry some materials back day and night in the town where humans lived before.

The purpose is to produce strong light equipment in a race against time. Only strong light can kill the black and red tentacles. This is the consensus of everyone. As long as there is light, those tentacles can be driven away.

What Tuke is most worried about now is a mass of things not far from the road into the mountain. It is like a huge tower, built by black and red tentacles. That thing has not moved forward for the time being.

This is also what most people are most worried about at present. Once this thing moves, no matter how strong the light is, it will probably be destroyed in an instant.

Tuke looked tiredly at the busy crowd on the street outside. There were few lights in the town. Most people did their best to manufacture in the open air during the day, and only the agricultural bases in the caves had sufficient light.

Under such a structure, the only thing humans can do is to hold on, and the gods have said that they will find a way to solve it, but they are powerless for the time being.

Although many people now have hope, Tuk knows that if the gods can't come up with a solution, this little bit of hope will turn into great despair in the future.

Tuk left the office and wanted to go outside. He just took a few steps and saw his son Avano running over.

"What's wrong?"

Tuk asked, and Avano swallowed and said.

"Father, a machine in the factory is broken, and we are trying to repair it."

Tuk hummed, and Avano ran to his office and took out the drawings left by the gods. Now a large equipment has broken down, which is quite bad for the whole situation.

Tuk also followed his son to the scene. After all, at this time, there is really no negligence.

As soon as the father and son arrived at the scene, they saw people on both sides arguing. Tuke went over to stop the dispute. Later, he found out that there were differences when everyone used the equipment. Some people felt that after letting the machine work for a period of time, they should have a good maintenance and rest, but some people felt that if a good machine stopped, there might be big problems.

In any case, the problem has already occurred, and people on both sides said it was the other party's responsibility. Avano took out the drawings and gathered some technicians. Everyone began to carefully disassemble the machinery, and Tuke tried his best to keep both sides calm at the scene.

Looking at the light in the distance and the transport team still waiting outside, a batch of strong light lamps must be sent to the front line today, otherwise many strong light lamps will not be able to support it for three consecutive months.

Those black and red tentacles are in the darkness dozens of meters away from the light, waiting for an opportunity to move. Once the light disappears, everyone knows that the consequences will be disastrous. Once the defense line is broken, everyone will be finished.

Soon the technicians found the problem, because the core component was damaged by overheating, but now there is no such core component at all, and it is almost impossible to make it, given the current conditions of picking up leaks.

Everyone was trying to find a solution, but the dispute started again. Some people thought they should go to the gods, at least the gods' bases had the conditions to manufacture core components, but it would take four or five hours to go back and forth, and it would be troublesome if there was a problem on the front line.

Seeing that the dispute was about to happen again, Avano shouted.

"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me."

Many people looked at Avano. Avano began to explain the situation, telling everyone every step as detailed as possible, and then he directly said some things needed for the core components, which could only be manufactured on site now.

Soon the crisis was resolved, and everyone started looking for raw materials according to what Avano said. In less than 10 minutes, everyone brought the raw materials over.

Tuke, who was standing aside, looked at his son in astonishment. He didn't expect that his son had grown so much in such a short time. His son might not have a talent for business.

Tuk was very sure of this, because when things were stable before, he also handed some things over to his son, especially business matters. His son really had no talent and messed up many times, and many people in the family complained.

But Tuk did not blame his son, because his son was very talented in knowledge. He taught himself a lot of things, all from books, and every day he would bring out the ideas in his mind to the world.

Soon some small equipment was also moved over, and everyone was busy. Under Avano's command, the core components were manufactured, although they were not as good as the original ones.

But the machine started to move, and everyone exclaimed, Avano said.

"Don't be happy too early, this inferior core drive component can only last for one or two hours at most. We must keep manufacturing it. Replace it as long as there is a problem with the machine."

Everyone was busy, and as Avano said, the machine stopped again after 50 minutes of normal operation. After replacing the manufactured core components, the machine started to work.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A large number of high-intensity lights were loaded onto trucks. The fully loaded trucks were already started. It would take at least 2 hours to get to the front line, and the roads had to be normal.

Some roads had been damaged, and people in nearby towns had been desperately repairing them during this period. The roads had to be kept normal so that supplies could be transported to the front line in an endless stream.

At this time, many people on the front line were behind the high-intensity lights, checking the condition of each high-intensity light. There were not many high-intensity lights to replace, and any slight slackness would kill them.

Some people had experienced the previous collapse, and many people could no longer bear it and fled back, causing these tentacles to directly flood the human town in one breath.

Everyone behind the high-intensity lights had an extremely solemn expression. Many of them actually wanted to escape, but now they had no way to retreat, because once they escaped, they would not be far from the destruction of mankind.

Now they can still eat two meals a day, which is very precious for many people. Some people are still repairing broken high-intensity lights.

At this time, a high-intensity light went out, and everyone became nervous all of a sudden. A large area of ​​darkness appeared. Some people who had prepared high-intensity light equipment directly took the equipment and shone it over.

The black and red tentacles instantly burned out in the strong light. Several technicians hurried over, unscrewed the power interface, and replaced the high-intensity light.

When the light came on again, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

No one can endure such pressure for a long time, one person said.

"It's okay, everyone hold on, as long as you keep holding on, these things won't come in."

Many people were encouraging each other, saying things that had nothing to do with the crisis at hand. No one wanted this high-intensity light belt that had been built with great difficulty to have problems.

Everyone was thinking about what to do, but no one had an answer. They could delay it for a day.

What everyone is most worried about now is when the new high-intensity light can be delivered, and everyone's food, because many people's food is running out now, and if it continues like this, everyone will starve.

Most people are hungry and often in a state of hunger, because food needs to be given priority to mutants. Mutants are currently the most stable source of electricity. Only when they are full and well-fed can they use alienated cells to produce electricity.

Hunger and fear have always been the biggest weapons threatening humans. Many people don't want anything now. They just hope that these tentacles can fade away, so that they can return to their original towns. As long as they can grow food, they can survive.

The places outside the mountains and forests are still in chaos. Although there are no large numbers of tentacles in the west and the east, they are already in chaos. Everyone wants to go to the vicinity of the gods' base, but it has been overcrowded there. Even those who go there will definitely be driven away by the defenders there. If they still force their way in, the other side will definitely shoot.

Crisis always makes people reflect. Many people have been wondering recently why it happened in the past. The meaningless outbreak of war destroyed everything of mankind. Now that the crisis has come, humans know how to unite together.

A technician kept wiping sweat. He looked back from time to time. No vehicles came. Now most technicians are most anxious for a large number of new high-intensity lights. The damaged lights will be sent to nearby towns for repair. If they cannot be repaired, they can only be remade.

The situation has become more and more difficult. When the materials that can maintain such a volume are exhausted one day, only one place needs to have a problem, and then the entire line of defense will be vulnerable.

At this time, a truck came, and at the same time, some high-intensity lights went out, and everyone panicked.

"Don't panic, don't mess around."

Soon the extinguished high-intensity lights were replaced. Everyone looked at the tentacles destroyed by the light. Many people held their beating hearts. As long as there was a slight mistake, they would be finished.

The truck was delivering food. Many people began to receive food, but the amount was much less than before, and there were some repaired high-intensity lights.

"That thing moved."

At this time, someone exclaimed, and everyone looked over. The tentacle tower composed of a large number of tentacles began to move towards them. For a moment, everyone was frightened. Everyone began to hold strong light equipment, Plan to fight to the death, because there is no way for them to escape.

Looking at the tentacle towers that were getting bigger and bigger, many people were lighting up the lights, but when the light shined through, it was much weaker. It would take a while for the tentacles to burn without fire. Many people were desperate.

Everyone held their breath. At this time, the tentacle tower stopped, more than 100 meters away from the light strip, and returned to a quiet state. Many people were already crying, and some people were kneeling on the ground in despair. .

At this time someone realized something, a man stood up and said.

"Why haven't the batch of bright lights that were supposed to come here not arrived yet?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, many people realized that it was already 6 pm. Some people even forgot to eat. Everyone started eating first and looked at the end of the road below. No vehicles appeared.

"Don't think too much. The rear is producing bright lights day and night. We have to hold on to our position."

Someone yelled, but it was obvious that this was untenable before seeing the truck transporting the bright lights. The truck was already 2 hours late.

Another bright light went out. Just when everyone was in despair, there was a rumble and a truck came over. Many people exclaimed. After a while, the truck drove into the camp and everyone began to carry the new bright light. Came down and put some broken bright lights directly into the truck.

The truck driver explained the situation because there was a problem with the rear equipment, but the emergency repairs have now been completed and there is no problem at all. Let everyone continue to work hard.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the people who came to change the shift screamed, and many people left the position tiredly, but everyone would look at the tentacle tower like a thick pillar in the dark, and pray that it would not come closer. Otherwise, everyone will be screwed.

This is the last line of defense for mankind. Once it is broken through, mankind will begin to enter a countdown to destruction. No one can stop this countdown.
