Chapter 40

Soothing broadcasts continued to be broadcast throughout the base, but the base was still in chaos.

Ordinary people are like fish on a chopping board in front of monsters, powerless to resist.

Death by being torn apart by monsters is countless times more frightening than being swallowed by a flood or burned by a sea of ​​fire.

The ten explosion-proof zones can only accommodate a total of five million people. Even if some people are willing to leave their chance of survival to those selected by the base, there are more people who want to rush into the explosion-proof zones to seek a chance of survival for themselves.

The base had already prepared for this situation and arranged police officers to be responsible for the rescue, mainly targeting women and children.

The psychics and their families in the inner ring entered the No. 1 explosion-proof zone in an orderly manner. The second ring continued to be in chaos, but the millions of psychic soldiers in the fourth ring had already prepared to fight the monster.

Marshals Lu Sheng and Wang Shu led an army of 500,000 to guard the inside of the base wall. Once the monsters broke into the base, they would be the first line of defense.

Marshals Li Zhen and He Tao led an army of 500,000 to guard the Fourth Ring Road as the second line of defense.

Four young generals, Lu Ya, Wang Lichuan, He Jing and Li Wei, led 50,000 urgently recruited retired soldiers and 100,000 hot weapon reserve troops composed of ordinary soldiers to guard the periphery of the Second Ring Road, serving as the last line of defense for the 15 million people in the Second Ring Road.

As Lu Sheng said, they will not give up the Jiangnan base until the last moment, nor will they give up the tens of millions of people in the base.

Prepare for the worst and do your best.

Time passed minute by minute, the night was as dark as ink and no change, only millions of soldiers were on high alert, and only the chaos inside the base continued.

At midnight, when everyone should be sleeping well, no one in the entire Jiangnan base could close their eyes.

Explosion-proof area No. 1.

Each explosion-proof zone is divided into five major areas. Gu Fan is now gathered in one place with the descendants of Lu, Wang, Li, He and Sheng families.

Mayor Sheng and Sheng Xi were both there, but in front of them stood an old man in his seventies. That was Sheng Heqing, the head of the Sheng family, a third-level A-level expert.

As soon as she saw Sheng Xi, Lu Yao rushed to Sheng Xi with red eyes, and Sheng Xi hugged her comfortingly.

Of the five major families, except for the Sheng family, the heads of the other four families are outside preparing for war.

However, the other four major families also left several A-level strongmen to protect their descendants.

On the north wall of the area that accommodates 100,000 people, there is a huge electronic screen. The camera constantly scans within the five rings of the base, so everyone can see the soldiers who are on high alert and undaunted, as well as the 20 million ordinary people who are scrambling to survive like ants on a hot pan.

The camera turned several times, and suddenly from a certain moment, the camera began to scan the face of each soldier in turn.

Among the 500,000 people on the first line of defense, Gu Fan recognized Lu Sheng, Lu Ying and some of the Lu family army soldiers with whom he had worked before.

Among the 500,000 people on the second line of defense, Gu Fan only recognized Xu Yun, whose burn scars she had cured, but she saw the same determination on those unfamiliar faces.

At the third line of defense, Gu Fan saw Lu Ya, He Jing, and Zou Shan, the retired general of the Lu family army who helped her sell pills.

For soldiers like Zou Shan who have broken legs, each one is assigned a healthy soldier to push their wheelchair.

The camera was still moving slowly when a sudden commotion came from the next partition.

After the noise died down, Gu Fan received a communication from Xinghe.

She answered the phone.

Xinghe: "Fanfan, your level is low, you can't help if you go out. Stay in there, we're going up."

Tarzan: "I'll take care of their defense, so you don't have to worry."

Qing Teng: "I'll be responsible for the treatment."

Fenghuo: "Hehe, I'll roast monster meat for them to eat. Don't worry, I'll save some for you. See you later."

Meng Lianying: "Fanfan, I'm actually a little jealous of you. My cousin has never cooked for me."

Gu Fan laughed without any preparation.

Xinghe: "Don't worry, we'll see each other again."

There was a burst of noise from the other end, and the communication ended.

——

One o'clock in the morning, the base predicted that the monster might arrive.

The herd of beasts had not yet arrived, but the base was no longer in chaos.

The 150,000-strong army guarding outside the second ring road had already grown quietly, and 20,000 mercenaries had joined them. Behind them was a sea of ​​people numbering tens or even millions. The sea of ​​people was made up of ordinary people, including men and women, old and young. Some of them were not qualified to hide in the explosion-proof zone, while some were qualified but gave up. At this moment, they were holding kitchen knives, metal pipes, hardware tools, and all other tools that could be used as weapons, waiting resolutely.

The battle has not yet begun, some people are ready to die bravely, while others watch silently with tears streaming down their faces.

Young people from the five major families, including the Sheng family, volunteered to join the defense force.

Some were given consent, while others were held down by force.

Lu Sheng's voice suddenly came from the big screen: "The beasts have arrived. Close all entrances to the explosion-proof areas. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

Bang, bang, bang. The screen showed the entrances to the ten explosion-proof areas being closed.

The last solo shot is of Lu Sheng.

The old marshal, clad in battle armor, had a resolute expression on his face. His deep gaze seemed to peer through the screen at everyone. "Fight for the base, fight for humanity. Tonight, I hope you will witness victory. Even if we fail, this battle will deter the other monsters. Stick to the plan of wiping them out. In the battle for the end of the world, victory will surely belong to humanity."

Lu Sheng had only said half of his words when a thunderous roar of an animal came through the screen.

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, the camera turned to the city wall of the base.

In the darkness of the night, you can see pairs of animal eyes emitting strange light. Suddenly, the first batch of monsters rushed towards the base like a tide.

In an instant, the protective shield was activated, and the pure energy network was like an overwhelming electric grid, melting and killing every monster that trespassed.

Excited cheers came from the explosion-proof area.

The low-level monsters stopped their pointless attacks.

The light of the protective shield faded, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

According to the position of the beast's eyes, several passages can be found among the monster group.

Gu Fan quickly glanced at the panoramic camera. Nine, nine passages.

Even A-level monsters cannot break through the human protective shield. Now, who are these nine passages for?

At this moment, a pair of huge beast eyes appeared on each of the seven passages. The light was different, but they all approached the base at the same time. There were no giant eyes on the other two passages, but based on the movements of the low-level monsters on both sides, the sizes of the two giant beasts could be vaguely identified, and they were moving forward quickly.

All the blood in Gu Fan's body seemed to be frozen.

Accompanied by the roars and roars of beasts one after another, the protective shield lit up again.

The appearance of the nine giant beasts also appeared clearly in front of humans.

Everyone gasped. A monster of this size must be S-level.

There are only five S-level experts in the Jiangnan base, and now nine S-level monsters have arrived at once?

The S-level monsters were too strong, and the energy of the protective shield would not kill them, but it also left them with serious and terrifying wounds.

As early as when they determined the number of S-level monsters, the five S-level powerhouses in the base had all gathered at the front line and launched an attack on the nine-headed monster.

The protective shield closed again, but a large number of monsters still rushed in following the S-level monsters.

Lu Ya and his five companions specialized in attacking S-class monsters. Although they were strong, it was already their limit for one person to restrain two monsters at the same time. One of the S-class eagle-shaped monsters relied on its incredible speed and flew along the protective shield as soon as it rushed into the base, releasing earth spikes towards the city wall below the protective shield while flying.

Any city wall hit by the earth spikes collapsed immediately.

"Oh no, it's going to destroy the shield equipment!"

Following Mr. Lu's warning, Lu Ya and Wang Shu tried to break free from the monsters in front of them and intercept the S-level eagle. However, only Lu Ya managed to fly out of the encirclement of the two S-level monsters.

The flying boots chased towards the S-class eagle at the speed of a meteor. At the same time, Lu Ya also released the huge golden sword that once deeply shocked Gu Fan's soul.

The eagle monster swooped down suddenly, and the golden sword flew past the S-level eagle's head.

After the first attack failed, the golden sword chased the eagle monster again. The eagle monster still avoided it, but this time, a golden dagger suddenly appeared behind the eagle monster and accurately pierced into the eagle monster's left eye.

The eagle monster let out a shrill scream, and dense earth spikes shot towards Lu Ya.

Lu Ya jumped up to avoid it, and the huge golden sword turned in the air and cut off the eagle monster's head at lightning speed.

The S-level eagle monster is dead!

The humans in the base cheered when they saw this scene, but the excitement did not last long. The protective shield rising from the city wall suddenly flickered a few times, as if an electric snake hit the city wall. After a brief aftereffect, it disappeared.

It turned out that a gold-type monkey used its metal sensing to accurately destroy two protective shield devices.

The protective shield failed, and the beasts that had been waiting outside rushed in frantically. A-level, B-level, and C-level monsters were densely packed and endless.

The first line of defense was quickly broken through by the monsters. The second line of defense was defended with difficulty for more than ten minutes, but was broken through again due to the endless monsters. Fortunately, the number of monsters rushing over was not large for the time being, and the third line of defense was temporarily held with the help of dense bullets.

However, the disparity in numbers between humans and monsters was too great. At 2:45 in the morning, a gap appeared in the third line of defense, and crazy monsters poured in through the gap like a flood and rushed into the ordinary crowd.

Human heads were devoured and limbs and body parts flew everywhere.

Gu Fan covered Lu Jingtian's eyes immediately. She didn't want to look at the screen anymore, but she had to. She wanted to see that the five people in Xinghe were all fine, but she was afraid to see anything happen to them.

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the camera.

It was Officer Wang, the first person Gu Fan formally dealt with when he first arrived at the base.

Officer Wang, with a broken arm, was part of the third line of defense. He stood in front of several ordinary people, desperately unleashing his supernatural powers at the incoming monsters. The night wind ruffled his thick short hair, and blood from someone else spilled over his head, streaming down his face like tears of blood. Gu Fanduo hoped Officer Wang could break free of the herd...

As a group of monsters overwhelmed Officer Wang and the people behind him, Gu Fan closed his eyes.

"What's the little girl's name? Where is the head of the family?"

"Don't try to talk nonsense with me. I've seen more monsters than you've eaten grains of rice. Listen to me, it's dangerous outside, go home quickly."

It's dangerous outside, go home.

It is indeed dangerous outside, she has experienced it, but where is her home? Where can she find a home where there is no danger anymore?

Gu Fan had no answer, and no one could give her an answer.

The kind-hearted police officer Wang is dead, Lu Ya and the Galaxy team are still fighting outside, and the Jiangnan base that once gave her peace of mind is in danger.
