Chapter 16 As the protagonist, you have to be kind and shed your blood and sacrifice your life! ...
"Hey, which wave is this?"
"It's the eighth or ninth wave, it seems." Zhang Chun replied in a low voice.
Cui Zhiyong sat on an earth wall that was nearly 100 meters wide and more than five meters high, looking at the huge number of strange beasts rushing towards him as if they were not afraid of death, and wiping the sweat off his face tremblingly.
call--
A sharp sound of wind blew, and more than twenty white wolves rushed out of the woods in groups, crossing the fields and paths in a blink of an eye. When they were only a few meters away from the earth wall, they exerted force with their hind legs, jumped quickly into the air, and pounced on Cui Zhiyong on the earth wall.
The next second, sharp water arrows appeared in the sky and shot densely towards the group of white wolves suspended in the air. Accompanied by wailing sounds one after another, the white wolves fell to the ground one after another, their hair stained red with blood, unable to get up again.
At this time, the fields and stone roads were filled with large numbers of corpses of strange beasts, and many of them even piled up into small hills.
"Let's assume the White Wolves are the tenth wave."
Cui Zhiyong's shoulders slumped. He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down, but the strong smell of blood choked him and he started coughing. He said irritably:
"These monsters should have a commander. They are obviously planning to use the human wave tactics... the beast wave tactics to exhaust our physical strength. Zhang Chun, do you think you can use a big move to scare the monster leader away?"
On the inside of the earth wall was Zhang Chun, with his hands pressed on the ground. He was completely immersed in darkness, and sweat was dripping down his cheeks onto the ground, mixing with his blood.
After hearing the words from above, he thought for a moment and said, "After using your ultimate move, do you still have the strength to continue fighting?"
On the other side of the earth wall, there was an endless stream of strange beasts. They stepped on the corpses on the ground and rushed over ferociously. However, before they got close to the earth wall, they were accurately pierced by sharp earth spikes that drilled out of the ground. Their limbs convulsed and wailing was everywhere.
"The eleventh wave."
After Cui Zhiyong, who was sitting on the wall, finished speaking, he heard a cold wolf howl coming from the woods in the distance. The strange beasts, which had originally slowed down due to some fear, seemed to have received new instructions and formed a team again and rushed over quickly.
He laughed and said, "The ultimate skill can be used after the mana bar is restored—"
Zhang Chun on the ground sensed a dangerous aura and was about to remind Cui Zhiyong to be careful, but he was a step too late.
Once again, countless water arrows appeared in the air and trembled violently, aiming at Cui Zhiyong who had a shocked look on his face.
A wolf howled in the forest.
"A-level top-level water-type monster! Holy shit—"
Cui Zhiyong quickly rolled down the earth wall, and a small earthen protective shield rose up, blocking the water arrows shot at them.
His face turned pale and he trembled as he said, "Zhang Chun, if I remember correctly, our Huangshi settlement is on the edge of the ruined city. In other words, if this beast tide attack is just the vanguard team... does that mean that this beast tide is very likely to have an S-level leader?"
Zhang Chun exhaled, and the ground began to shake again.
Countless strange beasts leaped up and he activated his supernatural powers.
A higher earth wall rose up again, and then suddenly collapsed at a high place. The falling debris knocked the strange beasts in the air to the ground one after another.
The strange beasts that were stepping on their corpses and continuing to move forward had not yet taken to the air again when the ground suddenly became empty, and a deep pit almost a hundred meters wide appeared. The strange beasts above lost weight and fell, and then the surface of the pit quickly returned to its original state, burying them alive.
At this moment, the area between the woods and the earth wall seemed as if nothing had happened. There were no corpses or blood. Only the turned over soil had faint traces of deep red, indicating the extreme danger of this area.
The strange beasts in the woods let out terrified howls, and no matter how hard the wolves howled, they dared only to wander around in the same place.
Cui Zhiyong's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and his emotions were extremely unstable for a while.
Zhang Chun vomited a mouthful of blood and wiped it off with an indifferent expression. His fingers trembled slightly, and blood could be vaguely seen flowing out from the cracked skin.
A small rodent-like beast suddenly appeared behind him and bit Zhang Chun with its sharp teeth.
Zhang Chun was unable to react and was about to dodge the fatal spot when a water arrow hit his head, killing him instantly.
Cui Zhiyong closed his eyes and said, "Sorry, I have never experienced this kind of battlefield."
"Um."
Cui Zhiyong stood up, patted the earth wall, and said, "Build me a staircase."
A simple and rough earthen staircase was formed. Cui Zhiyong stepped on it to return to the earthen wall and stood directly on it, looking towards the depths of the woods, as if he was looking into the eyes of the A-level peak monster.
"I am the weakest among the A-level psychics. I usually run away as much as possible during my training, so my accuracy and control are extremely poor. Instead, I prefer unconventional methods. I studied surveillance and reconnaissance for a long time. Although I am still at the beginner level, I did learn a new trick by accident."
The woods were filled with increasingly rapid wolf howls. The herd began to get anxious, and then a white wolf leaped out again and rushed towards the earth wall. Immediately afterwards, the hesitant beasts began to follow.
Cui Zhiyong took a deep breath when he saw this. His raised arms were trembling, as if the blood in his body was also trembling. He gritted his teeth and shouted out the words in his throat:
"Hey, Zhang Chun, watch out, besides reading pornographic books, I can also get excited!"
Zhang Chun looked up in astonishment: "Don't say such things with such a handsome look!"
He was both angry and amused, but the next second, a shocking scene appeared on the ground in his palm.
On the other side of the earth wall, the strange beasts that were rushing over frantically suddenly froze, blood oozing from their hair, and in the blink of an eye, dense blood spikes splashed out of their bodies, like a balloon filled with water bursting, countless blood splattered everywhere, and they died instantly in an extremely cruel way.
"Well, not bad, right? But because the method is too terrible, it's better not to tell anyone..."
Cui Zhiyong on the wall wiped the blood from his nose and laughed, but the blood in his nose would not stop. Finally, he gave up and sat on the wall, looking at the strange beasts that were once again timid and dared not move forward, sneering:
"If I'm still alive, I'll tell everyone about this! The two of us, just the two of us, blocked the attacks of thousands of alien beasts! Hey, Zhang Chun, how long can you hold on?"
Zhang Chun: "I won't fall until you die."
Cui Zhiyong tutted, "You should remember your B-level ability settings. But speaking of which, what on earth was Yun Yan doing? Didn't he hear the loud noise?"
He covered his heart which was beating faster and faster and even felt a sharp pain. The blood in his body seemed to lose control and became boiling hot, as if it was about to burn.
Damn it, that was too harsh.
Cui Zhiyong gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his throat.
…
"Are you coming to [Wild Dog]?"
The red-haired man standing on the treetop invited Chu Xiuyan, "I am Mingji, ranked second in the Wild Dog organization, and a well-known figure in the entire continent. As long as you are willing to join, you can use the blood crystals as you like."
Chu Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, looked at the still dim sky, and asked suspiciously: "So the reason why you called me here before dawn is not to fight?"
The red-haired man was speechless: "Am I sick? Why am I not sleeping at night and calling you to fight?"
"Okay, do as you please. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."
Chu Xiuyan yawned and turned away, muttering, "Really? This is so weird. I thought there was going to be a fight. I haven't exercised for a long time. My shoulders are so sore..."
Mingji landed in front of him lightly, opened his arms to stop the boy, and said quickly: "No, you are not tempted at all? I am the second in command of [Wild Dog]! It is a large organization ranked among the top in the entire continent, you are not tempted at all? Although our reputation is indeed not good, we are free, rich, and have no constraints! You don’t even have to listen to the leader’s words!"
Chu Xiuyan scratched his ears and said, "Ah, this is so awesome and free. Can you let me go back? I'm really sleepy."
Mingji gritted his teeth and said, "No, you must agree to join."
"Okay, okay, I'll join in. Make way. I'm going back."
The moment Chu Xiuyan passed by Ming Ji, the other party grabbed his wrist.
"Since you have joined, come with me and meet the leader."
Mingji didn't look at the boy, but just looked ahead, his tone carrying an unquestionable tone.
Chu Xiuyan looked down at the other person's hand that was tightly holding his, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
"Hey, I don't know if it's my illusion," he said, "I always feel like you've been trying to stop me from going down the mountain since just now. Why?"
Mingji's eyes dodged for a moment, "No, no, I just want you to give a definite answer."
"oh."
Chu Xiuyan spoke calmly, and just when Ming Ji thought he had tricked him, he suddenly felt a pulling force on his arm, and in the blink of an eye he was thrown out violently, raising a large cloud of dust along the way. He finally managed to stand still, and for a moment he was shocked and angry.
The black-haired boy waved and continued walking down the mountain the way he came. "Bye."
Mingji laughed angrily. There was a strong wind in the forest, and fallen leaves and dust were sweeping all over the sky. He stood in the eye of the wind, and his tone gradually became low and indifferent:
"I'm talking to you nicely, but you're giving me a cold shoulder. Listen, kid, get out of here right now, immediately, or I'll kill you."
The black-haired boy with his back to him stopped and turned his face slightly. A hint of scarlet gradually spread in his eyes, which was particularly clear in the darkness.
"I see. I understand. Seeing how nervous you are, there will be danger soon, right? The Yellowstone settlement... encountered a wave of beasts, right?"
Chu Xiuyan turned around, his face expressionless, his eyes cold and full of murderous intent. It was the first time he did not smile when facing a battle.
"Mingji, since you are trying to save me, I am warning you not to try to stop me."
Ming Ji sneered: "What if I insist on stopping you? It's better for you to be killed by me than to let you die in the mouth of the monster. I can bring your body back for the leader to see."
The black-haired boy's response was a gray fog that turned into a giant bear and pounced fiercely. The gray fog quickly spread across the sky, obscuring the surrounding scene in an instant.
Just as Ming Ji nimbly dodged the giant bear's attack and blew away the gray fog that blocked his vision, he was surprised to find that a black-haired boy was already sitting on a large tree that had been pulled up not far away. The tree was held on the shoulders of the three-meter-tall alien leader Gray Fog, who was about to throw it into the sky like a javelin.
Mingji stretched out his hand and said tremblingly: "No, no?"
Chu Xiuyan turned to look at him, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Bye."
The next second, the whole tree and the young boy were thrown into the sky, and the final landing point was exactly the entrance of the village!
Mingji, who was standing there in a daze, took a long time to react and jumped up in anger, "You little brat are too messy!!"
at the same time.
A crow was hovering in the far sky, with its scarlet eyes fixed on a giant watchtower engraved with the number "5". As it was diving down, suddenly a long arrow streaked across the sky and shot directly through the watchtower. It shot towards the large forest on land without any sign of slowing down, and scattered in the high altitude into tens of millions of densely packed light arrows, attacking the strange beasts in the dark forest.
In an instant, the sound of bullets piercing flesh and blood and the wailing sounds were endless.
A thousand meters away, a young man standing on the hillside put down his hands. A layer of white cloth was wrapped around his eyes, and golden light danced on his fingertips. He said thoughtfully, "A B-level spiritual bird beast? No wonder the sentry towers No. 3 and No. 6 didn't find it... Oh, we won't have to go to reclaim the sentry towers, will we, Captain?"
He turned his head to look behind him. Three pitch-black off-road vehicles were inconspicuous in the darkness. The man sitting on the hood of the vehicle was talking on the phone with the base control center. Then, after receiving some instructions, he waved to the team members outside, signaling them to get in the vehicle and set off.
"The beast tide has launched ahead of schedule, invading from the west, east, and north. There are fifteen settlements in the hardest-hit areas, half of which have been completely destroyed. Our next mission is to... support the nearest settlement, assist other teams of psychics, and set up the first line of defense."
"Oh? Then where is the settlement we are going to?" the young man wrapped in white cloth asked casually.
Upon hearing this, the captain's serious expression disappeared instantly, and he slapped the steering wheel viciously, "Fuck, this is the damn Yellowstone settlement. That bastard Zhang Chun better be alive, or I'll chop his body into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
The blindfolded young man smiled thoughtfully, "I heard that there happened to be a [wild dog] there."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to catch a glimpse of a strange scene in the sky outside the window, and said in surprise: "Captain, look, there are trees flying in the sky."
The captain didn't even turn his head, his temper was still bad, "Have you finally lost your mind?"
At the same time.
In the Huangshi settlement, a large amount of corpses had been piled up at the entrance of the village. The smell of blood and stench mixed together, filling the air with a foul odor.
The time is now half past six in the morning. Zhang Chun and Cui Zhiyong, who have persisted for more than an hour, are now exhausted. Even breathing is painful. However, the strange beasts in the woods seem to be impossible to kill and keep rushing out.
Zhang Chun, half-kneeling on the ground, wiped the blood off his face and suddenly realized something was wrong. The blood had a rough texture.
He looked over and saw some tiny blood-red crystals on the back of his hand.
At the moment when he was distracted, Cui Zhiyong on the earth wall suddenly shook and fell forward uncontrollably. Seeing this, the strange beasts on the ground swooped over.
"Choi Ji-young!"
Zhang Chun activated his special power, and the soil on the surface trembled slightly. No more earth thorns came out, but he coughed up blood, which condensed into blood-red crystals the moment it came into contact with the air.
Oops, my body seems unable to move...
At that moment, everything in front of my eyes seemed to be blood red. There were corpses in my hands and under my feet. There were human corpses everywhere. Everyone was wailing and crying. The world seemed to collapse and sanity was disappearing.
No, I have to hold on a little longer...
Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and tried his best to squeeze out the last bit of strength in his body. His skin instantly cracked and the blood that overflowed gradually turned into blood crystals.
At the moment when the blood completely coagulated, a chaotic and incoherent shouting suddenly rang out from the sky, and a four or five meter high tree fell from the sky and smashed into the ground outside the earth wall with great precision, just in time to blow away all the strange beasts around.
Faintly, one could seem to "see" the black-haired boy hugging a tree trunk tightly and coughing madly in a thick cloud of dust, cursing silently.
Zhang Chun tilted his head back and leaned his back against the earth wall. He looked at the gradually brightening morning light in the distance and chuckled softly. As he laughed, he coughed up blood-red crystals.
