Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1440
Chapter 1440 Teamwork
However, someone was faster than him.
As soon as Meng Chao landed on the ground, he heard a high-pitched horn-like sound coming from all directions.
The torrential rain was like raging waves, but in the raging waves, there were figures emanating spirit flames. Like thousands of arrows, they slashed the waves and pounced toward the crystal communication tower that was about to collapse!
“It’s going to collapse! The communication tower is going to collapse!”
“The communication tower is our lifeline! The flood is so rampant that people are trapped everywhere. Without communication, the armored airships and drones will become headless flies. Those who are trapped will be doomed!”
“Save them! Save them, quickly!”
Continuous roars connected everyone together. Meng Chao noticed that most of these people were wearing the plainest leather boots and protective suits. There were even holes made by sparks or crystal clusters on them. It was obvious that they had been fighting in the most difficult working environment for a long time. Everyone’s hair was messy, their faces were covered in mud, and they were in a sorry state. The wrinkles that had been cut by knives and axes were filled with traces of the erosion of time. Even the constantly burning spiritual flames could not erase these traces that were not very decent.
Many people were more or less disabled.
They were either limping or missing a few fingers. There were even shocking scars on their faces that spread all the way to the bottom of their necks and into their chests.
This was the medal they had obtained from the fierce battle with the monsters.
Perhaps, it was also the reason why they were able to awaken their extraordinary powers.
It could be seen that they were the remnant star transcendents or one-star transcendents who had the most numbers and the lowest strength in the circle of transcendents.
They were the cornerstone of the circle of transcendents and were also the mainstay of the front lines of all trades and professions. They ate, lived, and fought side by side with the ordinary laborers.
Although compared to godly state experts like Meng Chao, these low-level extraordinaires who had yet to break through — or perhaps could never break through to the one-star spirit pattern realm — were not much different from ordinary people.
Twenty to thirty stories high, hundreds or even thousands of tons of steel frames collapsed. If they were smashed down, they would still be smashed into a bloody mess, and their souls would be scattered.
However, the attitude of these low-level extraordinaires, who were doing their best to pounce on them, was no different from Meng Chao’s dive just now.
When Meng Chao landed, there was already a low-level extraordinaire whose temples were graying and whose face was full of wrinkles. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. He rushed to the base of the crystal communication tower.
Facing the tower base that was constantly tilting and could collapse at any time, he did not even flutter his eyelashes. He pushed his slightly thin shoulders into it like a jack.
The face of the middle-aged low-level extraordinary immediately turned as red as if it was about to explode.
Clear drops of blood seeped out from the tip of his nose. Even the torrential rain could not wipe them away.
He glared and gritted his teeth, but he still could not hold back the painful groans and crawled out from between his teeth.
The veins protruding from both sides of his temples were broken, dancing crazily like a high-pressure water pipe that had gone out of control.
Meng Chao knew that the crystal communication towers built in unknown areas often used multiple super-high-power signal amplifiers at the same time to resist the complicated spiritual magnetic interference and ensure the stability of the communication lines.
And when the Thunder rumbled and the torrential rain poured down, the crystal communication towers were about to collapse, and the signal amplifiers were destroyed, the spiritual energy inside could very likely go out of control, like an invisible whip of lightning.., the whip was mercilessly lashed at anyone who dared to approach the communication tower.
In other words, the flesh and blood of the middle-aged low-level extraordinary was not only bearing the tremendous force, but also the extremely violent spiritual energy, which was attacking like a flood or a ferocious beast.
Meng Chao’s eyes glittered. Just as he was about to go forward to save the people, several low-level extraordinary who were even closer to him had already pounced on him.
One of them was drenched in rain and mud. There were even faint traces of blood seeping out of his vital parts. It was as if he had just fought a fierce battle with the flood and saved countless workers and facilities before rushing here without stopping. The protective clothing that was embedded with the scales of the Nightmare Beast had been torn apart, revealing the camouflage clothing that had been washed until it was white and had long faded.
Meng Chao knew that this was a red dragon army veteran who liked to wear military camouflage suits.
Although it didn’t have any fancy decorations or high-tech functions, it was strong and reliable — just like these veterans.
Before the middle-aged low-level extraordinaire who led the charge was about to be crushed by hundreds of tons of steel.
The veteran also put his shoulder in.
His eyes were wide open, his beard was shaking, and the blood vessels on the back of his hand were broken.
However, what spurted out of the blood vessels was not boiling hot blood. Instead, it was red spirit flames that were burning fiercely with the blood as fuel.
With the support of the spirit flames, the veteran’s hands were deeply embedded in the steel structure that fixed the tower foundation. It was as if he wanted to weld his bones and steel structure together at a high temperature of thousands of degrees, turning his spine into a brand-new tower foundation!
The middle-aged, low-level extraordinary who was leading the charge was finally able to catch his breath
However, the beard of the veteran turned crystal-clear blood-red under the invasion of spiritual energy.
His spine was still as straight as a pine tree that was standing on the top of a mountain.
However, his right leg had lost its chain at the critical moment.
With a series of cracking noises, almost a hundred components below his right knee exploded at the same time.
It turned out that his right calf had been amputated and replaced with a mechanical prosthesis driven by spiritual energy.
Under normal circumstances, the mechanical prosthesis was enough to handle most of the high-intensity operations.
However, with the drastic changes of the planet’s magnetic field and the intense interference of spiritual magnetism, as well as hundreds of tons of steel smashing down on his head, the mechanical prosthesis could not have been more powerful.
The will of the veteran could only be carried out in every strand of his flesh and every bone, but it was impossible for the mechanical prosthesis to be as strong and unyielding as his iron bones.
Fortunately, just before the veteran lost his balance and was about to fall, more low-level extraordinaires appeared on his left, right, and behind him.
They moved forward one after another, placing their shoulders into the constantly tilting tower foundation.
There were also people who supported the veteran and the middle-aged low-level extraordinaire who led the charge from behind.
Everyone’s flesh and blood were closely connected. Everyone’s spiritual flames burned together, burning into a torch that even a torrential rain could not extinguish!
If they were on flat ground, giving each of these low-level extraordinary humans a steel cable that was incomparably tough, and everyone working together, it was really possible to pull an armored train that weighed thousands or even tens of thousands of tons.
The problem was that the structure of the crystal communication tower was very special. The vast majority of its weight was concentrated in the middle and upper parts.
And there were not many people standing around the tower, which was constantly twisting and breaking.
Even if twenty or thirty people could stand, they often could not find the position and angle to exert their strength to the limit.
Moreover, as the water level continued to rise, even the ground under the feet of the low-level extraordinary humans, which was originally solid, gradually became soft and muddy. It was unable to carry them and squeeze out every cell of their body, overdrawing the power triggered by their lives.
These low-level extraordinary humans had yet to control the power of magnetic levitation, so they were unable to walk in the air and support the crystal communication tower from the air.
Even though they had all shouted until their throats were hoarse, their palms were worn out, and even their bones were broken, the crystal communication tower was still slowly but resolutely leaning toward the south inch by inch.
Fortunately, their concerted efforts had ultimately slowed down the speed of the collapse of the crystal communication tower. The workers in the temporary buildings on the south side had enough time to wake up and evacuate.
Seeing that more and more workers were escaping from the temporary buildings, the bloodshot eyes of the low-level extraordinary humans became brighter and brighter.
Even if they risked their lives, they would not be able to stop the collapse of the crystal communication tower.
At the very least, they could use their iron bones to make the crystal communication tower last longer, making the collapse slower and later.
“Hold On!”
“Every second the crystal communication tower stands, the communication line will be stable for one more second!”
“Not only will more workers be able to escape, more trapped people might be found by the drones and the search and rescue teams!”
Such beliefs stimulated every mitochondria deep inside every cell in every low-level extraordinary human being’s body.
It made them overdraw their life force time and time again, igniting spiritual flames. They not only welded their own bones to the steel structure of the crystal communication tower, but also welded each other’s bones together.
Some people’s eye sockets, nostrils, ear canals, and corners of their mouths were oozing meandering blood.
Some people’s faces, chest, and arms were all blue and purple. It was the symptom of thousands of broken capillaries and severe subcutaneous bleeding.
There were also many broken limbs and broken bones that had not been healed for long that had been poked out from the scars. They rubbed against the mechanical prosthetic limbs and produced a series of dazzling sparks, the noises were cracking. However, no matter how much pain and pressure they were enduring. No one chose to retreat or give up.
All of them turned their grunts into melodious rhymes at the same time, leading their hearts to beat at the same rhythm and with incomparable strength!
Right then, for some reason, many of them suddenly felt that the pressure on their bodies had lessened.
It was as if the surging floods and mudslides had been blocked by a mysterious and powerful force.
Their concerted efforts had finally worked. They had stopped the thousand-ton crystal communication tower from tilting!
“It’s a success! It’s a success!” “There’s a door!”
“That’s it! Come on! Straighten the Communication Tower! Straighten the Communication Tower!”
“Let’s fight it! Let’s fight it!”
The low-level extraordinary humans were greatly encouraged. The fire of their lives burned brighter and brighter.
Even Meng Chao, who was standing among them and had also welded his own bones to the steel frame, felt that the vibration frequency of everyone’s life magnetic field was getting closer and closer. Everyone’s souls.., all had the strongest resonance under the guidance of the same goal!
