# Chapter 2919: Platinum Eye Attack Incident (2)
Dozens of players in Platinum Eye rose into the air from different directions. Some used props to absorb those puppet people on a large scale, while others went to higher places, attempting to bomb open the darkness in the sky with props and instruments.
However, whether it was space props or energy weapons, anything that entered that darkness either disappeared into thin air or had its speed and lethality greatly weakened, completely useless!
"It's the Box Carrier!" With such power combined with these strange puppets, even though the Box Carrier was still hidden in the darkness without showing himself, someone still identified his identity. Now the darkness was eroding the entire sky above the city, showing a trend of gradually devouring all of Platinum Eye.
Thus, a few seconds later, over a dozen energy cannons shot out from different parts of the city, trying to pierce through the darkness in the sky. But this time, these energy cannons did not disappear or weaken like the previous attacks. Instead, they were repelled back by a force. The energy of the energy cannons deconstructed and poured out in the air, then under suppression, rushed toward the ground at high speed!
"Boom!" A suddenly rising defense barrier intercepted this energy midway!
The two collided. Under the enormous impact, the energy on one side scattered toward the surroundings of the city, while the prop barrier on the other side shook together with the city ground. But this situation did not last long. Soon, another faint light flew down from the darkness, like a giant sword cutting into the city center. Not only did it tear apart the prop barrier that was bearing pressure, but it also caused all the defense barriers that players had just raised below to burst. The powerful impact force rushed out from the center line of Platinum Eye, like a tsunami splitting into two streams rushing toward different directions!
A large number of buildings that had lost their protective barriers were destroyed in this storm. Although the players of Platinum Eye had started to subdivide areas for defense and protection from the very beginning, no one expected that when a true super player arrived, their defenses and measures would be as fragile as paper houses that could not withstand a single blow!
Large areas of defense barriers disappeared. Players and ordinary people were thrown into the air together. With the center of Platinum Eye as the main point, the degree of destruction in the city gradually decreased. But even if the players stacked defense barriers in the first moment, the entire city was still affected. For a time, there were cries for help everywhere...
Old Lady Lu's residence was still some distance from the city center. But when the city center was blasted, the power of the mechanical explosion sent a large number of items flying, creating a new round of impacts. Some individual debris passed through the players' defense barriers and happened to hit some explosive places, subsequently causing a secondary explosion.
The debris flying out from this explosion implicated Old Lady Lu's residence. Originally, multiple instrument defenses had been set up here. But as soon as the Box Carrier appeared, he first interfered with the instruments of Platinum Eye on a large scale. So even in the courtyard of an Artificer, not many instruments were actually effective. And these effective instruments only covered the house, failing to cover the courtyard outside.
Old Lady Lu had something to do recently. She took Fang Jie on a business trip to other districts. Only robots were left at home to take care of Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi's daily life. Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi finished their homework and entered the operation room. They did not notice the commotion outside at all. It was not until the vibration from the energy cannon's counterattack on the city alarmed them that they came out to check. The enormous explosion sounds and the shock waves invading into the house terrified them, leaving them at a loss.
Coincidentally, at this time, the debris from the explosion kept hitting the surroundings of the courtyard. The enormous shaking made the courtyard shake. The instrument barriers were triggered time and again, but they were very unstable. Some flickered a few times and then disappeared. And they were in the concentrated zone of the explosion. The portable personal protective shields on them could not be activated at all. So the two turned back to the workshop to look for Old Lady Lu's finished instruments.
They could not use props, so they could only try their luck. But unexpectedly, most of these finished instruments had already been scrapped and were completely unusable!
"There are semi-finished products in the metal cabinet!" Xiao Yuan quickly rushed to one side of the house. Unfinished prop instruments and some important parts and materials were kept here. These were made of special metal that Old Lady Lu had specially ordered from an A-level wormhole point. If there were any instruments that were not damaged, it could only be here!
Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi were just beginners. They could only assemble instruments that were missing a few steps to completion. After several attempts, they finally synthesized one instrument. They walked out of the workshop, preparing to leave only after all the barriers outside the house were damaged. But with an energy bomb flying down from the sky, they had to close the courtyard's defense barrier and leave early.
But the situation outside was not much better. Many buildings in various places were affected. Even if they did not collapse, the messy things falling down were very dangerous. The foolproof shelters in the city had already risen, but they could not accommodate too many people. As the two walked out, they could see robots everywhere lying arched on the roadside. This was the program set for Platinum Eye's city robots. When they stopped working or lost kinetic energy, the metal structures between the joints would detach. The parts and structures supported each other and could serve as small cover.
"Go to the shelter point!" Tan Qi pulled Xiao Yuan and ran quickly.
Platinum Eye had its own shelter order. First, portable personal protective shields were used. If the shields were damaged, they could seek help from nearby robots. If the robots were also unusable, they could go to the nearest foolproof shelter. Some foolproof shelters were underground, while others could support above ground. There were not enough such shelters. If the shelter was far away or they could not get in at all, the last resort was to go to the nearest shelter point.
Shelter points were generally ordinary buildings, but they were designed with fire and explosion prevention in mind. There were many of them, and they could accommodate many people. At the same time, this was also the concentrated evacuation point for players. Because once the city fell into chaos, it would be time-consuming and laborious for players to search for people everywhere. People who could move would first gather at the shelter point to be sent away. This could greatly reduce pressure and leave more rescue time for other trapped people.
Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi were running wildly toward the shelter point. But at this moment, a nearby building was cut open. The top ten-plus floors fell at high speed. Many people were running fine one second, but the next second, they were smashed into a pool of blood and flesh by the tables and electrical appliances that fell first!
"Intercept!" The players of Platinum Eye arrived quickly. Some suspended the falling building, some blocked the falling objects, and others rescued people from the ground.
Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi were picked up by a player and evacuated from this block. The player directly sent them to the shelter point. But an accident happened at this moment. The player who had just put them down suddenly changed expression. He pushed them hard and then suddenly leaped into the distance. But while still in midair, he burst into a cloud of blood mist...
Not just this player, but the surrounding players also burst into blood mist one after another!
The crowd could not control their screams. Xiao Yuan fearfully grabbed Tan Qi. They did not know exactly what had happened. They only saw the sky half dark and half bright. The city ground began to shake and crack. In the shaking, their distance from the shelter point gradually widened!
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind arose. Along the way, it shredded the things on the street and rushed straight toward them!
"Run!" Tan Qi dragged Xiao Yuan and ran desperately. But their speed was too slow. In just one breath, they were sent flying by the wind and waves. The instrument shattered after bearing the impact. The two fell into the greenery separately!
"Tan Qi..." Xiao Yuan, who had just climbed up from the flower bushes again, had blood and mud dust all over her face. Her eyeballs trembled. She grabbed the yellow petals stuck to her face and staggered out to look for Tan Qi.
Before she had taken two steps, a hand suddenly landed on her head. She turned back with hope...
