Chapter 257 257. Attack

Wanglong Port is a city without walls.

Building city walls is too costly and will also restrict development. If it is not a border city, there is generally no need for it.

Moreover, if the enemy invades, the invading enemy will not be able to be resisted by a city wall alone.

It is precisely because of the lack of defense that unexpected situations often occur.

For example, this time there was a giant undead attack.

The guards on duty at the intersection were not surprised to see a group of staggering zombies approaching. Signs of undead activity appeared every night. The undead would spontaneously approach the living, and the city was their biggest target.

After several soldiers easily defeated the zombies, they found more undead appearing.

More and more, something was not right.

At this time, they were not thinking about sounding the alarm, but asking for support.

Low-level undead were just targets in front of human warriors. Any new recruit, as long as he overcame his fear, could easily defeat multiple zombies. A well-organized team of veteran soldiers was enough to sweep away hundreds of low-level undead.

It is the stench and plague of these undead that make people disgusted, otherwise, the soldiers would definitely like to have the undead as sparring partners.

Soon, patrol reinforcements arrived, as well as the priest on night duty.

Everyone began to resist the attack of the undead. Behind the zombies was a dense army of bones.

Generally, it only takes one strike to defeat a skeleton, but there are exceptions, some tall skeleton warriors are very powerful.

Holding a bone blade, he chopped at will.

Ordinary people really can't resist it. This kind of mid-level undead requires a good hand to deal with.

His strength is generally recognized to be at the second level, so he is not very troublesome.

There are many masters in Wanglong Port, and the second-level level is very ordinary. The captain of the night watch team, Zack, is at this level, as is the deputy captain, Krum.

The two of them worked together and easily broke the skeleton warrior's spine.

At this time, it was still within the scope of what they could handle. But a few minutes later, the number of skeleton warriors increased. Surrounded by many skeleton soldiers, their huge bodies became very conspicuous.

"We can't suppress them anymore. There are too many of them," Krum said in a deep voice.

"Then, sound the alarm." Zack signaled to one of his confidants, and the man ran towards the clock tower without looking back.

Before the bell rang, the situation deteriorated further.

The number of undead seemed endless, and no matter how the team resisted, they could only retreat step by step.

One of the night watchmen was accidentally knocked down by a zombie. When he was rescued, he was already dying.

"Damn it! No one's coming yet?" Zack shouted angrily.

A huge figure five meters tall slowly appeared beside the campfire.

Although it was fleeting and then swallowed up by the darkness, it was still noticed by many people.

"What kind of monster is that?" exclaimed a team member.

"Oh my God! A stitched corpse monster! Let's retreat!" Zack turned around and left.

The sharp sound of the bell is so piercing in the dark night.

The silent city began to fall into panic and agitation, with wailing and screaming everywhere.

The Stitched Corpse Monster has great strength and can easily destroy houses, capture hiding humans, and stuff them directly into the rotten flesh in its open stomach.

In just a few moments, the citizens living in the marginal areas were bloodbathed by the undead.

The city lord, Storm Sword Saint Orena, showed up with a group of elite warriors, as well as limit breakers, spellcasters, and church priests. They concentrated all their strength to try and fight the undead that attacked the city.

The battle lasted until dawn.

The undead scourge will eventually fade away slowly, and under the sunlight, the vitality of the undead will be greatly weakened, and they will be unable to maintain their mobility.

The zombies can only enter a slow wandering state, and the skeletons can only grab the ankles of passers-by at best.

"Where did these undead come from? With such a large number, it should be impossible for them to hide their whereabouts." Orena questioned the scouts with a frosty face.

That night, Wanglong Port suffered heavy losses.

Nearly 5,000 people died. Even more unacceptable is the loss of a sense of security.

This may cause more people to choose to leave here.

This is a city with a very high proportion of floating population. The registered population is 210,000, which will exceed 300,000 if the floating population is included.

Many people had a premonition that Wanglong Port was not far from decline. The flames purified the filth, and an atmosphere of sadness permeated the town.

After everything calmed down, Suna brought her people back to the auction house and was very glad that she had sold the property in advance.

The seller who arrived proposed to terminate the transaction, which was of course impossible, after all, it had already been notarized officially. However, Suna could understand the other party's feelings and agreed to compensate more.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because I may have to travel back and forth between here and Donggang City for business in the future, I shouldn’t offend people easily.

The auction will be held on time two days later.

Suna thought the scene wouldn't be too lively as too many people had left the city in the past few days, but the result was unexpected.

Even the City Lord's Mansion sent people over! The latest sports shoes produced by Fulinbao have an unparalleled brand reputation and appeal.

Those who were lucky enough to buy the previous generation all spoke highly of the shoes, believing that they could directly assist in combat and were far lighter and more flexible than any other type of shoes on the market.

In the market, Fulinbao's sports shoes are known as shoes of speed, which are almost equivalent to magic footwear equipment.

As a result, an ordinary pair of shoes with a purchase cost of less than a silver dollar was raised to a high price of several gold coins.

With the premium exceeding hundreds of times, Suna felt the money was hot and embarrassed.

I wanted to return some of the money, but finally gave up the idea.

The customers were urging for the goods to be delivered, and she carefully compared the sizes and distributed the shoes. There were no mistakes or omissions, and the transaction was successfully completed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The profit from this transaction is enough to buy a larger steamship with a capacity of 100 passengers.

Maybe, it can be a little bigger. Suna imagined the future and decided to set off tomorrow.

That night, the shrill bells rang again.

"The undead are coming again!"

At this moment, the East Continent is in the midst of an outbreak of the Undead Scourge. Not only the city of Wanglong Port, but any medium or large human settlement will attract a large number of undead.

Whether it is Morninglight City, Twilight City, or even Donggang City far away in the corner of the Eastern Continent, they are no exception.

These undead beings emerge directly from the spatial folds of the inner world, making them impossible to guard against.

Because the door to the inner world cannot be opened in areas with too high a life magnetic field, it usually appears within a range of about one kilometer near towns.

Late at night, East Point City.

A shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

People woke up from their sleep one after another and looked at the outside world in confusion.

On the streets, a large number of patrolling night watchmen marched in neat steps, shouting and running towards Fulin Road.

Another group of people ran towards the mausoleum area.

The person leading the way was holding a kerosene lamp.
