The group was now less than 100 meters away from the final fortress.
However, the animals that were relentlessly chasing them gradually closed the distance, and the surrounding animals also noticed them. After a brief moment of surprise, they ran over.
From here, you can still hear huge howls of "Moo! Moo!", but it seems to be coming from the other side of the outer wall of the final fortress. Along with that, there are also sounds of constant ramming against the outer wall. It seems that these mutated animals are attacking the gate of the final fortress from the other side.
Wang Lan and the others ran towards the outer wall.
This five-meter-high, pitch-black outer wall has now become their last lifeline. Climbing over it would mean completely entering the territory of the final fortress, and they believed that the final fortress would not abandon them.
But Wang Lan also had her doubts.
So, given the current situation, why is the final fortress still unmoved? What are they waiting for?
While they were wondering what was going on, the group had already reached the bottom of the wall. However, the smooth surface of the wall offered no footholds, making it impossible to climb up. But with the animals within reach, Wang Lan had a sudden inspiration. He leaped more than three meters high and simultaneously raised his Vajra Umbrella, thrusting it towards the outer wall.
Wang Lan's physical condition and strength were much stronger than before, so even though the outer wall was very sturdy, he still managed to stab the Vajra Umbrella into the wall without any effort.
Then he grabbed the Vajra Umbrella with one hand, hanging from it, while his other hand dangled down, and shouted, "Mu Chen, jump!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen jumped up without saying a word and grabbed Wang Lan's hand.
Wang Lan used both arms to lift Sun Muchen up and then threw him upwards. When Sun Muchen was thrown to the highest point, he just managed to grab the top of the outer wall.
Wang Lan didn't waste any more words and turned to look at Lao Zhang.
"Come on up!"
He shouted.
Old Zhang nodded repeatedly, then leaped forward and grabbed Wang Lan with both hands.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lan and the Vajra Umbrella suddenly sank.
"You're so heavy?"
Old Zhang gave an awkward laugh.
Wang Lan mustered all her strength and flung him upwards, while simultaneously pulling out her Vajra Umbrella and landing on the ground.
Upon seeing Wang Lan land, Sun Muchen cried out in alarm, "Brother!"
The animals were now only a step away from him. Facing the horde of animals that was about to tear Wang Lan apart and devour him, Wang Lan bent his legs, tensed his calf muscles, and jumped up, leaping onto the outer wall like a cannonball.
The animals below crashed into the outer wall in unison, causing the wall to shake. Wang Lan quickly helped Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang up, and then looked into the final fortress.
Jump down.
"good!"
"That high? You're going to jump?"
The two gave completely opposite answers, but while Lao Zhang hesitated, Wang Lan and Sun Muchen had already jumped down one after the other and landed steadily.
Old Zhang took a deep breath and leaped into the air.
Unexpectedly, it landed on the ground very smoothly.
"Our physical abilities are also constantly improving, though not as noticeably as those of the monsters. Even so, we can easily jump down from this five-meter height."
Old Zhang nodded, and the group looked into the fortress.
This was their first time entering the final fortress.
Strangely, the outer wall of this final fortress did not pose any additional difficulty for them; it seemed to be just a relatively high wall.
The three looked at the fortress, a huge egg-shaped building standing in the center, surrounded by various vehicles that looked different from jeeps, as well as damaged airplanes.
"Let's go!"
Wang Lan said, "Let's just go knock on their door and see if they'll care!"
"Isn't this too risky?" Old Zhang said. "The final fortress is off-limits to strangers. This wall isn't dangerous, but wouldn't it be dangerous to go forward?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound enter his ears, which gradually grew louder and finally turned into a loud "boom"!
The entire exterior wall shook three times with the sound!
Old Zhang was terrified, his face covered in a cold sweat: "I...we'd better leave quickly!"
So the group ran quickly toward the fortress.
The loud "Boom! Boom!" sounds continued to ring out until the last boom ended, and the three of them suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble!
A terrifying thought crossed their minds!
The outer wall is broken!
The roars of animals suddenly rang out, and it was vaguely visible on the other side that the animals were pouring in like a flood. The chaos stirred their hearts, and the ground trembled more and more violently.
"Run faster!"
Wang Lan shouted urgently, "These monsters are much faster than us. There's no comparison between the two. If they get caught up by those animals, they're doomed!"
But just then, a strange "whoosh" sound rang out.
"The final fortress has made its move!"
Old Zhang's face immediately lit up with joy. He said, "That's the alarm sounding from the final fortress! They're about to counterattack!"
Above the egg-shaped structure of the final fortress, the equipment that was supposed to light up the safe zone at night had retracted, and a thick black tube had emerged in its place, covered with countless circular notches.
Wang Lan looked puzzled. "What the hell is this?"
He saw the clarinet slowly begin to rotate, and at the same time, countless hollow cylinders extended from the egg-shaped building.
The next moment…
Da da da da da!!
A dense barrage of bullets, like a torrential downpour, shot out from these black tubes.
Wang Lan's pupils widened instantly, and he shouted, "Squat down next to me!"
As he spoke, he opened the Vajra Umbrella and held it in front of him. The bullets immediately landed on the umbrella leaves, and the crackling sound was incessant, getting louder and more frequent!
Under this powerful barrage of fire, Wang Lan and his companions were forced to retreat until they reached a corner before stopping. Wang Lan could clearly feel the dense bullets whizzing past the Vajra Umbrella, causing the temperature of the umbrella leaves to gradually rise. The high temperature even transferred from the umbrella leaves to the handle, which shows how dense the bullet rain was!
"Wang Lan!" Old Zhang huddled up in a ball and shouted, "Your umbrella is really strong! It won't break even!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Lan shouted loudly, then gripped the umbrella handle tightly.
However, he was puzzled. In fact, he didn't know what material the Vajra Umbrella was made of. He only heard Aunt Yang say that it was found in a cemetery. The cemetery looked quite well-maintained and should have been built before the cataclysmic event.
But this Vajra Umbrella can be used for both offense and defense, and can be used for both slashing and cutting; it is truly a weapon with many advantages.
Especially when Wang Lan heard the sound of the outer wall collapsing and the monsters' miserable howls, the Vajra Umbrella only experienced a temperature increase without any other problems.
