Chapter 143 The fallen sun (working overtime at night...)
Xue Hua felt a chill all over his body, as if he had passed through a curtain of water. After a slight dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived on a desolate and scorching plain.
The place is empty and dry, with nothing but cracked earth and occasional raised mounds as far as the eye can see.
The venomous sunshine scorched this barren land, and the high temperature even distorted the air.
Xue Hua squinted his eyes and used his hands to build a pergola to look around, but he didn't find any traces of urban ruins.
"What the hell?" He frowned, and was about to release the King Insect to explore and open up his field of vision, when a harsh "stab" sound suddenly came from behind him.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Xue Hua's heart, and he quickly looked back, only to see that the portal behind him had closed into a small crack.
"What's wrong with you?" Xue Hua jumped to his feet and cursed angrily. However, before he could get enough of the scolding, a new emergency situation instantly made him confused on the spot.
The moment the portal was completely closed, the land that had been burned by the scorching sun suddenly trembled violently, and then the surrounding area instantly darkened, as if someone suddenly turned off the lights in the room.
.
At the same time, the Aranok Desert in the outside world was also plunged into darkness. This sudden darkness frightened everyone.
King Jiehain immediately declared a state of emergency in all Lugaoin, and all soldiers immediately went to their posts.
At the same time, the city guards began to patrol the streets. Anyone who provokes riots or takes advantage of the situation can be killed on the spot if they are not professionals. If the troublemakers are professionals, they will immediately light a signal and let the guardians come.
deal with.
In the name of the royal family, Jehaine also posted public notices on notice boards all over Lu Gaoyin, asking the people not to panic, not to disrupt order, not to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and that the incident was still under control.
The three guardians of Lu Gaoyin also appeared directly above Lu Gaoyin City and used various means to illuminate the city below, giving the city the most basic visible light.
After such operations, the people's panic was basically calmed down. However, it is better to defend the people than to defend the river, and this sentence is equally applicable in this world.
Although the efforts of the royal family and the guardians prevented any major riots in the city, various versions of rumors still arose about the sudden darkness.
Some people say that this is the great demon Baal who has achieved great power and came to the world in person to destroy mankind.
There are even more bizarre ones, actually saying that the world of Sanctuary has been swallowed up by the Demon God of Hell, and they are now staying in the belly of the Demon God of Hell...
All in all, in order to stop these increasingly outrageous rumors, the wise man Deckard Cain and a group of Magister Society scholars began to study this sudden darkness, and they soon discovered that the culprit of this darkness turned out to be
The sun in the sky.
For some unknown reason, the sun hanging in the sky not only no longer shines and generates heat, but also radiates a dark shadow-like haze like a desert. This haze can greatly reduce a person's field of vision.
Coupled with the lack of sunlight, the entire desert suddenly fell into a state of darkness.
However, when Drognan sent an urgent letter to the guardians in other areas to ask if the sun had darkened in their areas, the answer he received was that there was no such thing at all. The sun in other places was fine.
, of course, except for those in Rogge Camp...
In other words, this incident was basically aimed at the Aranok Desert, and other areas outside the desert were not affected at all.
This left Kane and a group of scholars scratching their heads, wondering what happened to the sun above their heads.
At the beginning, the guardians, the royal family, and the desert mercenaries all thought this was some kind of conspiracy by the Evil Contractor or Hell, and prepared to take advantage of the darkness to raid Lugaoin City.
They have also made a lot of preparations in this regard.
However, after some investigation, the scouts sent by the three forces found no signs of the gathering of hell monsters or the attempts of the evil covenanters to attack the towns on the gravel wasteland.
Contrary to their expectations, in this darkness, even the monsters have reduced their activities. Not only do they have no intention of attacking human gathering places, but their attack power has also been greatly reduced.
It seems that this darkness not only affects humans, but also affects the projections of hell monsters.
After realizing that this darkness was probably not a conspiracy from hell, the humans relaxed a little.
After the Lu Gaoyin Master Association and the royal family arranged the necessary alerts and defenses, they focused their attention on how to restore the sun to normal.
After all, Aranok is a desert. What would it be like without the sun?
Lu Gaoyin people have been inseparable from the sun in their lives for a long time. Now the sun has suddenly turned into this ghostly character. If it is not restored to its original state quickly, all Lu Gaoyin people will suffer great damage.
But no matter how hard they racked their brains to find a solution, they still didn't know how to restore the sun to its original state.
Farah and Drognan are both legendary strongmen who can fly. They initially thought that this might just be a large-scale illusion, so they wanted to fly up directly to see if they could break through the illusion directly from the sky.
However, what they didn't expect was that the sky in Lu Gaoyin seemed to suddenly become extremely high. No matter how hard they tried to fly, they could never fly out of this darkness.
In the end, they had no choice but to retreat and think of other feasible solutions.
The guardians were helpless, and the royal family couldn't come up with any good solutions. Even Deckard Cain and a group of scholars were unable to do anything about it, so the matter was at a standstill.
Since the problem could not be completely solved for the time being, the king had no choice but to plant torches on the streets of the city for lighting. For a time, the entire Lugaoyin City was lit up, as if it had transformed from a pearl in the desert into a city that never sleeps.
...
Xue Hua still doesn't know what's happening in the outside world, but this pitch-black darkness doesn't bother him for long.
Zerg units already have very strong night vision capabilities, and there is no difference between night and day for them.
As the leader of the Zerg race, Xue Hua can naturally use the vision of the Zerg swarm to resolve this sudden obstacle.
When dozens of king insects rose into the sky and tens of thousands of insect swarms poured out from the dimensional gate around them, the face of the world soon appeared clearly before his eyes again.
It is still an endless wilderness, still a broken and dry land, but in this boundless darkness, under the stone mountain like a towering high wall at the end of the wilderness, there is now a huge ruins of a city.
