I've been walking long enough.
Mai Xuan gradually stopped.
He chuckled, his tone subdued.
"I really believed what Lao Si said. Can a city with a population of several million be considered a village?"
But after a year.
The number of survivors is really approaching the level of a village or town.
Protecting a city with a complete chain of rules is much more difficult than protecting a village with simple folk customs.
Early days.
Just trying to gain the trust of the leaders of Star City made Mai Xuan rack his brains.
Then comes the completely irresistible doom.
Just three days of heavy rain blocked all access to the outside world for the city.
Airplanes, high-speed trains, spaceships... none of them work.
The magnetic field outside the city suddenly became chaotic, and all electronic equipment stopped working.
The raging flood blocked the way to seek help from land.
It seemed as if the entire city had become an isolated island overnight.
Even though he knew that this was an illusion, it was a test specially created for him.
Something like this is bound to happen.
At that time, Mai Xuan still felt nervous and uneasy.
Thanks to Mai Xuan's reminder, Xingcheng did not suffer much damage in the flood.
But then began to appear extraordinary creatures, no, monsters.
Destroy fragile modern cities completely.
They always appear irregularly around Star City and walk ashore on the water.
The monsters in the early stages are very weak and can be easily defeated by modern weapons.
later.
Bullets can penetrate their skin, but next time they come, they will have skin that is invulnerable to swords and bullets.
By replacing them with more powerful weapons, they will be stronger when they come next time.
Because of their slow speed, some monsters were captured alive by Mai Xuan. Next time, their speed will increase...
Every time the siege failed because of something.
The monster will learn from this lesson next time and improve this part of its ability.
From the very beginning, this monster's attack power is comparable to that of a hare.
Now it has a monster with a strong physique, good output, and even the same intelligence as humans.
They only took a year.
Moreover, it was a monster created by Mai Xuan and the people of Star City.
Knowing that the illusion represented the end of the world, Mai Xuan did not take it lightly from the beginning.
The results were also seen.
Totally useless.
Over the past year, they have searched for countless ways to figure out how the monsters are connected.
Why can dead monsters establish contact with the outside world and affect the next attacking monster?
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
He also tried various ways to change all this.
Including but not limited to.
The two secret books will be made public for all the people in Star City to practice and improve their combat effectiveness.
Send people to explore outside the city and find the monster's base camp.
Even make peace with the monsters.
But the reason why monsters are monsters is that their thinking is completely different from that of humans.
Although they possess intelligence, it is limited to battlefield strategy deployment and logistics weapons research and development.
Human empathy is not included.
They were defeated one after another and were forced to take refuge underground.
Cities became the main battlefield.
Through guerrilla warfare, the monsters' attack was delayed, and precious buffer and recuperation period was gained.
Everyone knows that this is only temporary.
Star City must find a true path to victory.
This is their last chance.
Not long ago.
Xingcheng has finally made new progress in its research on flood sources outside the city.
In the quark-level material basis, the "flood" completely loses the properties that water molecules should have.
in other words.
The flood is not a natural flood, it is a disaster deliberately created by monsters!
The purpose is to turn Star City into an isolated island!
The war had begun since that three-day rainstorm.
Because of this, there was a big quarrel among the top leaders of Star City.
Knowing the truth is not always good.
This also means that the rescue plan that the upper echelons have not given up on has completely failed.
Since the flood was entirely caused by monsters, there was no chance for them to break through the flood defense line.
Some people believe that it's all a matter of timing.
If the monster was still as weak as a hare.
They desperately developed submarines that did not use modern technology and mobilized the entire city to send people out for help.
Things must be different again.
Another group of people think that this is just speculation and cannot be taken seriously.
If you put all your hopes on external forces, you will only be pushed by the situation.
No one knows whether the monster's evolutionary attribute is the opponent's only trump card.
They have been out of contact with the outside world for too long, and there is no guarantee that the situation outside is better than in Star City.
If people outside could save them, they would have already taken action.
Both sides argued until their faces turned red.
It has nothing to do with whether it is reasonable or not, and has become a theoretical dispute between the self-help faction and the assistance-seeking faction.
Finally, the war spread to Mai Xuan, who was the first to propose reducing the defense line to avoid the flood.
Because Feng Feng had already known that the illusion test was about doomsday rescue.
Mai Xuan guessed that one of the signs of the coming of the end of the world would be the creation of an island of humanity.
It is because of his predictions and the preventive measures he proposed.
This is what allows Star City to survive so peacefully when heavy rains and floods come.
The gratitude of the people of Star City was real at that time.
Now that something has gone wrong, the resentment of this representative seeking help is real.
"Since you knew that Star City would become an isolated island, why didn't you take everyone away from Star City and avoid the monsters directly?"
"Star City was fine before you came. Why do we have to go through all this after you came?"
The other party's questioning made Mai Xuan's heart bleed.
He couldn't refute it.
Because this is an illusion, it is indeed because of him that these disasters occurred.
The people in Star City were so vivid, so vivid that Mai Xuan couldn't believe they were all fake.
The soldier who looked so vivid and familiar went to the battlefield, and came back the next day with only a jammed machine gun.
He really felt sad that his comrade had died.
There are other, more conspiratorial claims.
"Why can't we find a way for the monster to contact the outside world? Could it be that the monster that has been in contact with the outside world is not dead?"
"What if there were species among the monsters that could disguise themselves as humans from the beginning?"
"You gave us two cultivation manuals, why did you only practice one of them?"
so.
Mai Xuan ran away.
He ran out of the shelter and walked onto the abandoned city streets. There was no one else around him except him.
He felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the monsters' attacks have a certain time limit, and each siege lasts no more than one day.
For the next twice as long, no monsters will appear.
Only Mai Xuan can enjoy the quiet streets.
"There's still one day and nine hours left." Mai Xuan muttered to himself.
"A day and nine hours from now, another war could break out here at any time."
The last monster attack.
It is already infinitely close to the maximum monster combat time tested in Star City.
