Chapter 218 Unity
Seeing that there were not many people fighting outside, Lu Jiu became alert and the cannon barrel that had been motionless began to move. The cannon barrel aimed at the wild monster under the city wall and fired directly.
The chariot crossbow is mainly used to deal with BOSS-level monsters.
They had already killed all the dozen or so Green Ox BOSSes, but then another dozen squeezed in from the back, a few more than last time.
The professional players who were still fighting were frightened by the sound. When they looked again, they found that most of them were aimed at the wild monsters on the ground.
There was another deafening bombing sound. "Oh my god! Why did the city lord suddenly open fire? It would be helpful to give him a warning..."
Some people specialize in fighting wild monsters on the ground. Just now, a cannon exploded directly next to his ear. Fortunately, he didn't feel anything when the fragments hit him, and he didn't lose any health.
Someone saw the artillery shells explode next to him and kindly asked, "Are you okay?"
The frightened professional player shook his head, "It's okay, this city defense weapon can't do any damage to us."
Everyone felt much more relieved after hearing this, and some of them dived down to deal with the wild monsters. They were kidding, there were cannons and crossbows attacking them, and if they attacked a few more times, they might be able to take advantage of something.
Now everyone is killing wild monsters and has no mood to see what kind of rewards they have obtained. The important thing is to take this opportunity to kill more wild monsters.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lu Jiu left the city wall with a few teammates.
After such a long period of killing, her body has been strengthened, and her hands are shaking slightly.
Lu Jiu: "I'm so tired. After killing so many monsters for so long."
Zhuang Yun was sweating all over. "I guess there's a fixed number of times wild monsters spawn, but we don't know. Now we can only fight them well."
A few of them planned to just buy some food from the stall, as they weren't in the mood to go back and cook.
After they chose a stall and sat down, the boss enthusiastically served them several bowls of chicken drumstick noodles and said, "You've worked hard, you should eat more."
The boss is a middle-aged woman. The noodles she sells are well-known in Xuantian City, and they often come to have a bowl.
When Lu Jiu brought the noodles over, the calm soup began to ripple due to her trembling hands. "Thank you, Madam Boss."
Yong Lin also followed suit and expressed his gratitude.
The proprietress wiped her hands with a towel and said, "Eat more. During the beast tide, you professional residents can come and eat for free."
Lu Jiu had just taken a sip of soup when he heard this and looked up curiously and asked, "Why don't you charge me? We all have to make a living."
The proprietress said: "Life is life. This is so dangerous. It depends entirely on professionals like you to protect the city. We ordinary people can't do anything else, so we can only give some insignificant help. Now the stalls on the street don't charge professional residents money, and offer them free food."
Shen Jufeng also put down his chopsticks. At a moment like this, everyone in the city was united as one. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved.
Zhuang Yun quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth and thanked, "Thank you, boss lady..." He didn't know what to say.
The proprietress didn't stand by and disturb them while they were eating. "That's nothing. You're the ones who are working hard. I'm going to go and get busy. Just put your bowls here after you finish eating. When you go back, take a shower and have a good sleep."
Another customer came and the proprietress continued to work.
Lu Jiu ate noodles silently. She was the city lord. Even if no one knew it, her eyes welled up when she saw how united everyone was.
After the four of them finished eating, they put down their bowls and said goodbye to the proprietress before leaving.
On the way back, Lu Jiu was thinking about something and no one disturbed her.
Several people went back to their homes, took a shower and fell asleep. They slept soundly. The sound insulation of the residential area was very good. Although there was constant sound of artillery bombardment outside, they could not hear it at all while they were sleeping.
·
When he woke up, it was already dark outside. Lu Jiu rubbed his face to make himself more awake.
She woke up a few times in a daze, all to replenish the shield's defenses. A million times was actually consumed very quickly.
After waking up, she washed up and went out. At this time, she did not call her teammates, but went outside to take a look first.
When we reached the city wall, there were still many professional residents fighting outside, and many stalls were still open so that the professional residents who had to go back to rest late at night would have food to eat.
Although she, the city lord, had not appeared for a day, there was no complaint against her in the city.
Lu Jiu took out her bow and arrow and was about to put up a protective shield when someone tapped her shoulder, "Ms. Lu, where are your teammates?"
Turning around, I saw Lin Zuo and the others. It seemed that only one team was here, and the rest were standing behind Lin Zuo.
Lu Jiu: "We're dealing with a beast tide, not just going out to deal with wild monsters as usual. What's going on?"
Lin Zuo: "Nothing, I just wanted to say hello when I saw you."
Lu Jiu gave him a deep look. What was he doing? They were not familiar with each other. "Well, I have to get busy then."
After she flew out of the protective shield, some flying monsters immediately entangled her, but she dodged them all swiftly. When she shot arrows with a cold face, she looked like a god without any sadness or joy.
After seeing this situation, Lin Zuo was still very suspicious of Lu Jiu.
In fact, he has been paying attention to Lu Jiu's movements. Perhaps it is his intuition, he always feels that Lu Jiu has some relationship with the city lord.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around abruptly and saw a tall man staring at him with cold eyes. It was Shen Jufeng.
Lin Zuo forced a smile: "Mr. Shen."
Shen Jufeng walked forward, his eyes never leaving him, "Mr. Lin, what do you want to talk to my teammates about?"
Lin Zuo was stunned for a moment, Shen Jufeng saw him greeting Lu Jiu!
"Nothing, we just run into each other often, and I saw you now so I wanted to say hello."
Shen Jufeng looked at him, then slowly shifted his gaze and began to search for Lu Jiu outside the city. He whispered, "Lin Zuo, I know what you used to do, but don't set your sights on Lu Jiu."
Lin Zuo loves to expose people's identities. Even if he hadn't talked to him much in Yanjing before, they were in the same circle, so some things would still be passed on to him.
The other party had been paying attention to their movements all along, and Shen Jufeng knew that he had already begun to suspect Lu Jiu's identity.
Lin Zuo laughed dryly twice, "What can I do, but Mr. Shen has no plans to return to Yanjing. Although the Shen family claims to be mainly engaged in business, but..."
In fact, the Shen family's business also includes military research and development and medical research. His uncle is in the army, which makes them somewhat involved in the military and political circles.
Therefore, even if the world changes, it does not mean that the Shen family will decline.
Shen Jufeng: "Xuantian City is very good. If you want to return to Yanjing, leave as soon as possible after the beast tide is over."
When Lin Zuo heard this, it sounded like he was trying to get rid of him. "I'm planning to go back to Yanjing, but I'll come back after I get a rough idea of the situation. What do you think, Mr. Shen? Do you want to add me as a friend? Then I'll tell you what's going on over there."
Shen Jufeng: "No need, I don't want to go back to that place for the time being. Even if I want to know, I will go and see it myself."
He still had to go back and see the situation there with his own eyes. Even if Lin Zuo told him, he would not believe it completely.
