Chapter 134 The Isolation Wall
"So, Alex, Alex, this is all I can do for you."
Pei Qi thought to himself silently.
Only if Alex's HS score barely reaches the threshold of 60-84 points in the second interval will he have a chance to survive.
Only then will the Supernatural Alliance initiate subsequent negotiations and recruitment procedures.
Even more critically, the conceptual waveform of this result generated from the rubbing will transcend dimensional barriers and synchronize with the Alaya Questionnaire at the same moment the score is released!
That's irrefutable evidence, directly recorded in the Supernatural Alliance's central database!
Even Pei Qi could not tamper with or cover up the scores.
That's why this HS human score has such high value, since the results can go directly to the desk of Neos, the secretary-general of the Supernatural Alliance.
"I hope your score will fall into the second tier as much as possible."
Pei Qi sighed. He had given this prototype a test to prove itself, which was already an unprecedented act of kindness in the history of the Supernatural Alliance's purges.
As for the final outcome, whether it will receive UN protection or be blasted into atomic waste by orbital bombardment.
It all depends on how much of the humanity that belongs to "Dr. Mercer" still remains deep within Alex's heart.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Pei Qi refocused his attention on the massive project before him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The deafening explosions of gunpowder created a continuous roar as a hundred extravagantly designed "Blueprint Cannons" were lined up in a matrix.
With each vibration of their massive, trumpet-shaped cannons, a portion of gunpowder in the fuel tank would be precisely consumed.
Behind them, what lay piled up like mountains was not ordinary obsidian or concrete, but a batch of extremely special transparent blocks.
[Item: Neutron Radiation Shielding Reinforced Glass]
[Source Module: HBM Core Technology]
This thing is extremely expensive to make in the module; it is made by pressing high-density polymer with special depleted uranium interlayers.
Although it looks like an ordinary piece of glass that is extremely clear and free of impurities, its internal atomic arrangement can perfectly absorb and refract most of the kinetic energy and radiation.
Let alone ordinary artillery shells, even if a neutron bomb of equivalent strength were to detonate at point-blank range against this glass, the terrifying nuclear radiation and the three-thousand-degree high-temperature fireball, enough to instantly kill tens of thousands of people, would not be able to penetrate this transparent barrier and harm the people behind it in the slightest.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!"
The blueprint cannon, like a greedy beast, frantically "absorbed" these high-strength transparent glass blocks.
With the thrust of gunpowder, they were launched into the air like cannonballs.
Countless streaks of pale blue holographic projection light, visible only to Pei Qi, streaked across the sky.
The heavy blocks that were launched defied gravity the moment they left the cannon barrel, flying precisely along the trajectory of the grand blue phantom design in mid-air. Then, at the moment they reached the designated coordinates, with a "click," they turned from phantom to solid and perfectly embedded themselves into the building structure.
No scaffolding is needed, and no cranes are required.
A towering, incredibly thick, yet crystal clear explosion-proof glass barrier is rising from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Standing beneath this wall and gazing into the distance in the direction it extends, you will witness an extremely breathtaking sight—this transparent megawall does not extend straight along the street, but rather presents an extremely small yet incredibly firm arc.
It stretches along the coastlines of the Hudson and East Rivers, over the ruins of the Brooklyn Bridge, and across countless city blocks.
In a distant place beyond the sight of ordinary people, thousands of cannons based on the same blueprint are operating simultaneously.
This transparent, nuclear-proof wall is encircling the entire 60-square-kilometer Manhattan Island!
It's like an inverted transparent glass bowl over Manhattan, turning this city, known as the "beacon of humanity," into a giant biochemical petri dish for people to observe.
The explosions of gunpowder echoed through the empty ruins, the sound waves traveling along the streets all the way to the depths of Manhattan's Red District.
For those infected with the Blacklight virus who are extremely sensitive to sound and live heat sources, this is tantamount to ringing a meal bell in their ears.
"roar--!"
"Hiss—!"
The gravel on the ground began to tremble slightly.
Countless infected creatures surged forth from every corner of the street like a black tide bursting its banks.
Behind the horde of zombies, dozens of massive Overlords and Hunters could be seen rampaging like bulldozers, trampling over the corpses of their own kind.
The number is conservatively estimated to be over five thousand.
"When you're building infrastructure, the most annoying thing is these clueless flies."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Fifty meters in front of the blueprint cannon array, ten extremely heavy steel bases suddenly crashed onto the asphalt road, sinking deep into the foundation.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Qi took out a bunch of extremely wild-looking, fully automatic killing machines with outrageously thick barrels from his inventory and placed them on these bases one by one.
[Item: Heavy Automatic Machine Gun Turret]
[Source Module: Immersive Engineering]
This is not an ordinary sentry machine gun, but an industrial-grade defensive fortress that uses external high-voltage power and is capable of firing large-caliber armor-piercing rounds.
"Defense deployment complete. Miniature radar activated, IFF system has locked onto hostile biological signatures."
Pei Qi watched as the indicator lights on the ten machine gun turrets simultaneously changed from yellow (standby) to scarlet (locked) to indicate that they were locked.
"Permission to fire."
"Click".
The barrels of the ten heavy machine gun turrets began to rotate.
When the Blacklight Infected at the forefront crossed the warning line 200 meters from the position.
"Buzz—da da da da da da!!!"
The dull tearing sound instantly drowned out the gunpowder explosions of the blueprint cannon.
Faced with overwhelming firepower, the flesh and blood bodies of carbon-based life forms appear utterly laughable.
Armor-piercing bullets burrowed into their massive bodies, tumbling wildly and instantly turning their internal organs into a bloody mess. Their enormous bodies collapsed with a crash, becoming natural roadblocks to block the subsequent horde of zombies.
The massacre did not last long.
When the mountain of corpses completely blocked the street ahead, and when the last hunter who tried to climb over the mountain of corpses was shot in the head by three machine gun turrets at the same time, there were no more infected beings standing in front of the position.
The machine gun turret's barrel stopped rotating, wisps of blue smoke rising from the muzzle, emitting the smell of burning metal.
At the same time, the infrastructure construction in the rear was also coming to an end.
"Click".
As the last blue streak of light fell from the sky, the final piece of neutron radiation shielding glass with a sealed coating was perfectly and seamlessly embedded at the very top of the isolation wall.
The roar of one hundred blueprint cannons ceased abruptly at that moment. The internal brass gears stopped meshing, and the fuel tanks were completely emptied.
That massive, crystal-clear yet indestructible glass partition wall, which blocks out the sky, stands silently in the wind.
"It's almost finished."
19
Pei Qi glanced at the progress bar on the tactical terminal, which had stopped moving, and let out a long sigh.
With a casual wave of his hand, he used the quantum decomposition machine to instantly recycle the ten machine gun turrets and one hundred blueprint cannons on the ground into his inventory.
He shifted his gaze from the magnificent glass wall and turned to look in the direction of the ruins where Alex was.
"The last part is now complete, and the final touches are done. It should be close to the deadline for submission."
Pei Qi's eyes became somewhat complicated, containing both expectation and a hint of barely perceptible murderous intent.
"Let's see how the exam went over there. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly."
"If it fails, I'll have to go through some extra trouble and dig another big crater with a nuclear bomb inside this beautiful glass wall that was just built."
