The apocalypse comes suddenly.
Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.
A system suddenly appears!
Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.
...There is no shortage of heroes among humankind, but there is also no shortage of traitors.
For some, fighting the beast tide head-on is a battle with no clear outcome. Even if they manage to win by chance, they may still perish in the battle.
Therefore, it's better to choose a safer method.
They made a deal with the Beast King, selling most of their kind to him in exchange for his forgiveness.
In this way, although many people would die and humanity would be reduced from the dominant species on Earth to an unknown minor race, these people would be able to survive.
Of course, these people didn't know that the Beast King's mission was to exterminate all humans. Even if they helped the Beast King wipe out the main human force, they still wouldn't survive, because the Beast King wouldn't allow any human to live.
These people thought the Beast King was wise and that they could reach an agreement with him, sacrificing the interests of humanity as a whole to save themselves. However, they did not know that the Beast King had learned human treachery and had no intention of keeping his promise.
The human traitor, dressed in a black robe and whose face was not revealed, left.
The Beast King watched him leave, his eyes cold.
"There are actually people like this among humans. This saves me a lot of trouble. Now, I can wipe out humanity without the White Tiger's help!"
…………
On the other side.
Zhang Lin and the city lord were completely unaware that a traitor had appeared among them.
There is a main problem.
Most of the time, the so-called Beast King is nothing more than a slightly stronger beast. It has intelligence, but it is still a beast. Let alone recruiting traitors among humans, if a human were to actually come looking for it, it would simply devour the human in front of it.
traitor?
It's just food.
Based on the city lord's experience, in all these cycles, it's not that no one has tried to contact the Beast King and become a surrenderer.
However, no one has ever succeeded.
This led to a situation where, after many such instances, everyone realized that surrendering was pointless in the face of a beast tide, just like when the city was besieged by zombies before, no one surrendered to them.
But the human surrender faction has no bottom line; they are unwilling to risk their lives to fight, but they are willing to risk their lives to contact the Beast King.
However, this beast king was exceptionally intelligent. It learned a lot from humans, so it verbally agreed to the surrender.
The surrender faction was unaware of the Beast King's treachery, and after the man in black robes returned with the news, a small group of people went into a frenzy of celebration.
"Fighting the beast tide is a dead end; only through cooperation can we survive. Fortunately, Old Zhao succeeded. After the great battle, we will become the spark and hope of humanity!"
Inside a small tent, seven or eight people were crammed together. The man in black robes was "Old Zhao" in their eyes. At this moment, he himself was smiling and nodding in approval of his companions' words.
The word "surrender" sounds awful, and they don't want to be accused of "betraying their own kind" or "living a life of ignominy," so they can only resort to the art of language.
Therefore, in their mouths, their "surrender" and "betrayal" were actually acts of justice in order to preserve the flame of the human race.
Drinks, fresh meat, women...
Before the great battle, they began a final celebration, or rather, a pre-battle celebration, celebrating their early survival.
…………
The vanguard troops have rested and recuperated for a while, and the decisive battle planned by Zhang Lin is about to begin.
The Hope City coalition launched the first attack.
Leading the charge were Fu Haifeng's men.
Zhang Lin has never been a magnanimous person.
These people had followed Fu Haifeng in doing wrong things, so given his narrow-mindedness, he would not let them off easily.
Therefore, at this time, they need to be at the forefront and fight the toughest battle against the beast tide.
The city lord flew above the main force.
She changed into a white robe that covered her entire body once again, and a silver-white mask covered her face, giving her an air of mystery.
When the human warriors at the forefront made contact with the supernatural creatures, the city lord also intervened.
Countless people may have memories of the city lord taking action, but for Zhang Lin, this was truly the first time he had ever seen the city lord make a move.
Countless beams of light descended from the sky, instantly killing weaker supernatural beings. Even the slightly stronger supernatural beings dared not withstand these rays head-on and dodged them. Those who were even slightly slower were immediately seriously injured.
The city lord's template is technology-oriented, and generally speaking, there are only two attack methods.
One is the beam attack that is being used now.
Another advantage is her ability to fight hand-to-hand with her mechanical body. Her entire body is made of self-repairing nanobots that can transform into various weapons. Moreover, she is immune to injury and has formidable combat power.
However, the city lord was somewhat wary of her mechanical body, so she disliked hand-to-hand combat and instead flew in the sky, constantly launching ranged attacks with rays.
She also has an ability called the "Tidal Energy System," which, in human technology terms, can be described as having a nuclear fusion energy system built into her body.
The so-called wave.
She doesn't need any external force; the energy system within her body provides her with almost endless energy, like a never-ending tide.
Her other two abilities are support-type. One is to control others with nanobots, which is how she got so many loyal subordinates in Hope City. The other is consciousness uploading. Neither of these abilities can be used for direct combat.
Overall, thanks to the support of the Wave Energy System, although the city lord's attack methods are relatively simple, her combat power is extremely strong due to the almost inexhaustible energy support. She is as good as a small army.
Under her leadership, the Hope City Allied Forces did not suffer a complete defeat in the face of the overwhelming beast tide, but instead stabilized the situation.
Meanwhile, Zhang Lin led his vanguard down the mountain.
After a few days of rest, the vanguard army had recovered its strength. At this time, the main force of the beast tide was tied down by the Hope City Alliance, and the vanguard army directly joined the battlefield from the rear, immediately causing considerable damage to the beast tide.
"Where is the Beast King?"
Zhang Lin did not rush to make a move.
He has only one goal: to become the Beast King.
The Beast King is too powerful. If it were to indiscriminately attack ordinary human soldiers, the losses would be terrifying and the morale would be severely damaged.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Lin descended the mountain, he began searching for the Beast King and regarded it as his only rival.
Strangely enough, after searching through a group, he did not find the Beast King's terrifying figure amidst the beast tide.
The great war has begun.
As the Beast King, he is not here now.
this……
Very strange!
