Chapter 439: Going to the Ground and Arranging
Several rotating nuns standing in the back couldn't help but cheer quietly.
The nun who struck the Chaos Beast to death with the final blow was a member of their team. She was usually laughed at by people who didn't understand her because of her strong physique. Now, who dares to laugh at us women for being inferior to men?
The battle has not stopped.
The people who withdrew from this regiment were immediately redistributed and thrown into the battles on two other battlefields.
In less than twenty minutes, the last Chaos Beast fell down unwillingly.
The warriors in the LAN continued to rush to the final battle without stopping.
Everyone was silent, holding back their energy and determined to thoroughly clean up this filthy underground passage.
Golden and white sacred fires burned back and forth in the passage, and various weapons were used in turn.
Although orcs, deer-clawed lizards, giant snakes, griffins and other large beasts appeared in the monster group later, all the demons and monsters became paper tigers in the face of the coordinated attack of hundreds of knights, saints and nuns whose skills and morale were at the peak.
Without even Bourne's guidance, these baptized future stars of the Holy See spontaneously formed combat teams and entered the interconnected passages to clear out the remaining monsters.
Of course, they will not advance recklessly. Instead, they will keep records and rotate after clearing a certain distance, so as to proceed steadily and step by step.
Bourne was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and went to the back to rest.
The one who accompanied him was none other than Sister Azriel.
"Mr. Bourne——"
"Please don't call me that, Sister Azriel. Please call me Bourne."
"Okay, Bourne, what do I want to ask is, what should I do next?"
This question was not only asked by Sister Azriel, but also by the original captains of each team who had come over for rest. They all looked at him expectantly, hoping that this young man who had repeatedly created miracles could give a reasonable suggestion.
"Hmm!" Bourne groaned.
In fact, he was thinking about this question when the battle was about to end.
Compared to most of the people who arrived here earlier, Bourne believed that he was the one who was most familiar with the local environment.
They were currently located northeast of the center of the stadium, in a sewage treatment channel thirty meters underground. The main root of the giant tree was less than fifty meters to their south.
The difficulty now is that the giant tree is still growing, and its branching roots are spreading to farther and farther places. The monsters produced by the roots will increase as the giant tree absorbs more nutrients, and more and more Rio residents will be caught by the monsters and used as fertilizer.
This creates a vicious cycle.
The only way to completely solve all this is to cut off the main root of the giant tree.
But this is easier said than done.
Although most of the monsters underground have been eliminated now, it is inevitable that more monsters will be produced as time goes by.
Relying on just a few hundred of them and using cold weapons to fight, it would take them forever!
No, we still have to rely on art!
But where to get the explosives?
The scene fell into silence. Except for the shouting and screaming coming from afar, everyone present moved lightly for fear of disturbing Bourne's thoughts.
Suddenly, Bourne had an idea.
He stood up, looked at those who were looking at him expectantly, held up three fingers, and said:
"I need three teams!"
"Each team should have no fewer than ten and no more than twenty people, with the professions arranged in the ratio of 3:2:1:1 for fighters, defense, communications, and rescue."
Without waiting for anyone to sign up, Bourne continued quickly, "The rest of you, follow me to the ground. I need to understand some situations, and I also need a team of fast-moving warriors to transport some things for me."
"Sir Bourne, we can satisfy all your requests!"
Sister Azriel also stood up immediately and assured her with a serious expression.
Without their designation, three or four teams with such configuration were quickly formed.
Duran and Sullivan are not among them, they have other uses.
Bourne assigned one of the teams to replace the people who were still chasing the monsters in the passage, and ordered another team to follow the passage they had opened the first time, which led to the main root of the giant tree, to clear out the monsters again and keep good records of the investigation.
He led all the remaining people and crawled toward the ground along the secret passage they came from.
Twenty minutes later, Bourne was the first to push open the manhole cover and crawl out of the ground. He found that the sky was still gloomy and dark.
It's already ten o'clock in the morning, and the sky is still in this terrible state. It seems that the dark forces have done something.
The environment of the stadium was no different from before Bourne went down the tunnel.
Not far away, the giant tree still stood tall, its crown seemed even larger, and there seemed to be more fruits on it.
Every now and then a fruit would ripen and explode, and a winged monster would fall out of it.
When it is halfway down, the monster will spread its wings, fly away, capture people nearby and bring them back, then throw them into the passage created by the trunk of the giant tree, and then fall into the corpse pit at the bottom to become nutrients.
Bourne did not act rashly.
He called on the people behind him to follow him, and headed northeast along the gully formed by the intertwined roots of giant trees.
There are many mid-range residential communities on the north side of the stadium because of its convenient transportation and ease of watching games, while there are a large number of government agencies on the east side of the stadium.
After all, Rio officials also love to watch football.
The Northeast is home to several of New York's largest companies, including Samba Petroleum and Samba Power.
Samba Petroleum is the country's largest oil and gas supplier, while Samba Electric is Rio's largest electricity and natural gas supplier.
Both companies have set up natural gas transfer stations here, which is the killer weapon Bourne wants.
He did not forget that two weeks ago, when he was strolling on the streets of Rio, he often heard gangs fighting in residential buildings. They would suddenly stop fighting, run out together, and continue fighting a little further away from the building.
After asking the reason, we found out that the natural gas pipeline in the building had leaked again. If we don't want both gangs to be wiped out by the natural gas explosion, it would be better to move to another place to continue the fight.
Due to the competition between the two companies, Rio's natural gas pipelines are built in all directions and in a disorderly manner. Even the underground of the stadium has pipelines from the two companies.
The main valve is located not far northeast of the stadium.
"Sullivan, I heard that you served in the SAS Special Air Service Regiment of the Eagle Sauce Huang family? How are your rappelling and rock climbing skills?"
"Give me some simple equipment and I can climb a 30-meter-high building with my bare hands!"
"Okay, I need you to find at least ten fighters who are good at rappelling and rock climbing within half an hour and make suitable tools for rappelling and climbing. Can you do it?"
Sullivan didn't answer, but asked for a map of Rio, checked it carefully, and said affirmatively: "No problem, there are many hardware stores near this place, and it's easy to make tools. I know a few guys who like rock climbing, I hope you can transfer them to me!"
Bourne glanced at Sister Athirelle, who nodded immediately.
"Okay, go ahead."
Bourne turned to Duran and said, "Duran, I need you to go to the nearby stores and supermarkets to find a large amount of plastic sheets and rivets and transport them back to the underground. Can you go?"
"Sure, leave it to me!"
Bourne patted him on the shoulder and warned him, "After you go down, have the people who are left behind return to the ground quickly. Go to the passage we opened the first time, to the main root of the giant tree, seal the entrance with plastic sheeting, and evacuate immediately."
"Okay." Duran left immediately.
"Mr. Bourne, what do you want to do——"
Sister Azriel said a little excitedly.
"That's right. Since explosives don't work, let's set this tree on fire. I don't believe that we can't burn it!"
After a pause, Bourne continued, "Lord Azriel, can you contact a few wind elementals first? I think it would be better if there was some wind when the fire started!"
