The city of Zhusha was in ruins, especially the buildings near the forest farm, which were almost half destroyed.
Zhang Hao was furious at Cheng Zhen's opportunistic behavior and troubled by the need for reconstruction in the city. Before he could catch his breath, there was another commotion outside.
The screams of women and children filled the air once more. His immediate thought was that the mutated plants in the city hadn't been completely eradicated, so he urgently ordered his subordinates:
"Can't you hear anything outside? What are you doing here? Go check what's going on! You're all a bunch of useless trash! Have I been feeding you for nothing?!"
He kicked and shoved a squad of city guards away, but they were not superhumans; they were just some of the stronger guards in the city guard.
He kept all the few superhumans around him to protect his safety. The person who went out quickly came back in and reported, "This time it's not a mutated plant, it's a strange bird!"
"What kind of strange bird is that? Are you seeing things?"
Hiding behind the superhuman, Zhang Hao couldn't believe what he was saying. He jumped up and pointed at him angrily, "Are you out of your mind? This is an oxygen-deprived apocalypse. There's not a drop of oxygen outside. Where would monsters come from?"
Jiang Ling, who had been standing to the side, finally spoke up: "After the apocalypse of oxygen deficiency, some creatures do not need to breathe oxygen. For example, the little Mobo and little Mobi that Cheng Zhen and his team captured not only do not need to breathe oxygen, but they can also produce oxygen."
After she finished speaking, another subordinate stammered in agreement: "Yes, some people who went out of the city to cut bamboo said... they encountered a monster outside, a poisonous bird with a poisonous needle on its tail."
Immediately, someone outside shouted, "Quick, hide! They have poisonous stingers on their tails! Don't get stung! Everyone, hide!"
Amidst shouts from all sides, the sound of gunfire soon rang out, as the various epidemic prevention departments within Vermilion City began their counterattack.
Zhang Hao was naturally belligerent, especially as the city lord of Zhusha City, which ruled over the southern cities. He was even more arrogant. Hearing their words and hearing the commotion outside, he immediately waved his hand:
"Send me an extra regiment and kill all these birds!"
As long as they weren't mutated plants, wild beasts and zombies were nothing to be afraid of in his eyes.
However, he underestimated the energy and power of Qin Yuan's collective attack. Jiang Wan and the others immediately responded. When she took out guns and ammunition from her space and distributed them to Cheng Zhen and the others, the space-type ability users on Long Wanzhi's side also brought out their weapons and equipment.
Cheng Zhen gave him an approving thumbs-up, then immediately ordered his men: "All of you, get to the city wall! Each archer should be equipped with a shield. Remember, you absolutely cannot get stung by their poisoned stingers!"
At this point, Jiang Xiaoxin's mutated plants were of no help either. Jiang Wan coaxed the twins into the RV and instructed them, "No matter what happens, you absolutely cannot come out!"
This time, Qin Yuan's attack came too fiercely and was very sudden. Before that, they had not noticed anything unusual at all.
Jiang Wan herself exchanged plant weapons with the tree hole space. Human guns and ammunition are limited in quantity and their power is definitely not as good as plant weapons. When she entered the space, she found that there was suddenly another plant weapon species on the shelf, called "Frost Archer".
Unlike the previous Peashooter, Cherry Bomb, and Potato Mine, this Ice Shooter costs 80 coins. She carefully read the instructions: each Ice Shooter can be fired 50 times as long as it is not destroyed. Hitting a target will freeze it, and hitting it three times in a row will kill a target.
Jiang Wan checked his balance: 5550 gold coins. Then he glanced at the dense swarms of Qin Yuan in the sky. Without hesitation, he bought 50 Peashooters and 100 Ice Shooters. The monsters attacking this time were Qin Yuan, which were flying creatures. Cherry Bombs and Potato Mines were completely useless to them.
Jiang Wan, who originally had 5,550 gold coins to spare, suddenly found herself in debt of 4,950 gold coins.
But he didn't hold back. The tree hole space allowed her to spend in advance anyway, as long as she returned the gold coins within the specified time afterwards.
With so many plant weapons, it would be impossible for her to grow them all by herself. Jiang Wan summoned some brave teenagers and women, gave them the seeds, and instructed them:
"Just bury it in the ground, don't bury it too deep. Come back quickly after you're done, and be careful!"
Like cherry bombs and potato mines, their growth cycle is five minutes. After five minutes, with the help of this wave of plant weapons, Cheng Zhen and his team were under much less pressure.
Guns and ammunition were being consumed very quickly. Cheng Zhen shouted, "Use superpowers! Everyone who can use superpowers, use them! Conserve gunpowder as much as possible!"
They haven't found an arms factory yet, so they have to use all their weapons and ammunition sparingly. The post-apocalyptic world with its lack of oxygen is far from over, and who knows what will happen next.
Everyone did as instructed. As soon as the ability users started using their abilities, the number of crystals they needed immediately increased. Jiang Wan took out all the crystals that she had previously stored in the tree hole space and that she had dug out from the corpses of mutated plants in Vermilion City, and had them distributed to everyone to ensure that the ability users could replenish their energy in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, the elderly, weak, women, and children, who were powerless, were not idle either. They began to dig for crystals in every corner. Thanks to the laziness of the superhumans in Vermilion City, there were quite a few gold stones underground in this area.
Some experienced people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Look at the soil, look at the color of the crystals, this doesn't seem to have been dug up at all!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but they couldn't figure out the reason, so they all kept their heads down and got back to work.
Qin Yuan's attack was too fierce. Cheng Zhen's side was almost entirely composed of superhumans killing monsters, while in Zhu Sha City, it was all gunfire. Listening to the commotion, he vaguely felt something was strange.
"Holy crap! When will these monsters ever stop? How many are there? Even Superman couldn't withstand this kind of relentless onslaught!"
Yu Fen and the others couldn't hold on any longer. These Qin Yuan soldiers kept coming back after killing them, and the dark sky never saw any light again. Wherever there was a hole, it would soon be filled by the next Qin Yuan soldiers.
Relying solely on the superhumans and the city guards firing their guns is far from enough.
A few Qin Yuan broke through their defenses and attacked the people below the city walls. The situation was chaotic and tense, and many women and children picked up sticks to defend themselves.
Jiang Wan, who had a clear view through binoculars inside the RV, didn't sit still. She immediately took out some tree sap from the tree hollow, diluted it evenly in everyone's drinking water, and then called to everyone:
"Hurry! The person who's been blocked, come over and drink some water! It can help! It can save their life!"
