The soldiers dragged the wounded back and quickly retreated out of the blood rain.
Lu Chengchuan mixed in with the crowd. He wanted to find Zhou Yaning and the others, but there were too many people and it was so vast that he couldn't tell who was who at a glance.
"Retreat quickly! Everyone, speed up and avoid getting your skin wet by the rain!"
The soldiers ran and the monsters chased. Lu Chengchuan could only stand behind and block as many monsters as possible.
When the soldiers retreated outside the blood rain, Lu Chengchuan also retreated outside the blood rain. The monsters kept chasing them, but they only chased them to the edge of the blood rain and stopped chasing them beyond that.
The monster stopped in the blood rain and didn't move forward anymore. Lu Chengchuan stood outside the blood rain and looked at the monster.
They stood still, and Lu Chengchuan raised the Mo Gu Sword and swung the sword energy forward.
The sword energy tore through countless monsters, and his lifespan increased wildly. The monsters were too easy to kill if they stood still. The soldiers were still retreating to the second line of defense, and Lu Chengchuan stayed where he was to kill the monsters.
Lu Chengchuan was killing madly, but the number of monsters did not decrease at all.
"Lu Chengchuan! Lu Chengchuan!"
He was killing when he suddenly heard someone calling him. Lu Chengchuan turned around and saw Zhou Yaning running towards him.
When someone came, Lu Chengchuan stopped what he was doing and moved to the back.
"Why would a monster break out?"
Lu Chengchuan asked the question in his mind, why did something suddenly happen in Anyang City.
"I don't know either. Early this morning, privateer mercenaries escaped from inside. The outer garrison got the news, and as soon as the main force arrived, the monsters appeared."
"According to some mercenaries, there was no abnormality last night, but this morning, countless bloody tumors appeared in the city overnight, and monsters emerged from them."
Zhou Yaning's face was covered in dust. She joined the battle as soon as she arrived today and only took a short break to read some information.
But there was not much information at all. The monster appeared suddenly. If they had not stationed troops here, they might not have received the news in the first time.
If so many monsters rush out of Anyang City, who knows where they will be in trouble.
Everyone retreated behind the blood rain. The artillery units in the distance were still bombing. The monsters would not leave the range of the blood rain, and there were no soldiers inside, so the artillery units could bombard as much as they wanted.
"Let's get out of here first. The follow-up artillery units are going to expand the bombing. Let's leave quickly."
Zhou Yaning received the news and saw Lu Chengchuan killing monsters alone, otherwise he would have left long ago.
The two ran back as the blood rain from the sky grew heavier. The artillery units bombarded with all their might, initially killing many monsters. But as the blood rain grew heavier, the deafening explosions began to decrease. Countless shells pierced the blood rain, only to be instantly rendered ineffective by the erosion of the blood.
There was no flame, no explosion, the shell just hit the ground hard.
"Something's wrong."
The shells failed to explode, and at most they killed a few monsters. Everyone saw it clearly, and the military personnel felt cold.
Under the nourishment of the blood rain, the blood-colored mucus that was blown up quickly reappeared, and the entire battlefield was covered with blood-colored mucus.
The bloody mucus covered all the corpses, no matter if they were monsters or humans, all the corpses were corroded by the mucus and instantly turned into nutrients and transmitted back to the dome.
"The slime is absorbing the bodies. Is there any way to stop it?"
Through the telescope, Zhou Yaning saw clearly that they killed many monsters, but the military also suffered heavy losses. The blood rain from the sky would erode flesh and blood, and with the monsters chasing them, they had no time to collect the bodies when they retreated.
Now the dome absorbs the corpses, which is not what they want to see.
"There's nothing I can do. There's slime everywhere and it's raining. There's nothing I can do."
Lu Chengchuan looked at the sky. If it didn't rain, he could activate the Crazy Dragon Swallowing Elephant skill and use flames to burn the bloody mucus and the bodies of the soldiers.
This could be considered a solution, but it was raining heavily, and the blood rain contained a special power. Unless his internal strength was endless, burning it would not work.
The shells were useless, the blood rain would corrode the flesh, and they could only watch the bodies disappear.
In less than half an hour, the blood rain in the sky did not stop, and all the corpses on the ground disappeared. What was even more terrifying was that under the nourishment of the blood rain, the monster changed.
They became stronger, their claws became sharper, and white bone armor grew on their bodies.
"Do you have any backup plan?"
Something was not right. Five huge figures were looming behind the low-level monsters.
Judging from visual observation, the three monsters are at least twenty meters tall. Although the appearance of the monsters cannot be seen clearly, their aura is indeed very obvious. They are all powerful level four monsters.
Lu Chengchuan looked at the five figures. To him, these were all lifespans.
"If we really use that backup plan, not only will the Dome be destroyed, but Anyang City will definitely be destroyed."
Of course, there was a backup plan. Shenghua State had so many nuclear bombs that they would definitely use them if pushed to the limit. But the problem was that nuclear bombs wouldn't necessarily destroy the dome. Furthermore, with the appearance of crystals, the top brass didn't want to destroy the dome unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Isn't it time now? The situation has come to this point, there's no need to wait any longer."
Lu Chengchuan really didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking. The situation was critical, and they were still thinking so much. The most important thing at the moment was to eliminate the monsters.
"They're getting stronger. Without artillery support, how can the army clear out the monsters?"
There are so many monsters, even if he kills them until he is exhausted, he still can't kill them all. Does he really have to use human lives to stop them?
"This is something the people above are considering. I have no say in it." Zhou Yaning was helpless.
"Heh..." Lu Chengchuan laughed when he heard that, then shook his head: "I'm afraid you can't stop the monsters. I'm afraid I can't stop them for long alone."
"When the time comes, don't blame me for abandoning you and running for your lives."
As he spoke, he sensed that the five tall monsters were merging, and this scene made him worried.
Zhou Yaning's face changed slightly. She believed what Lu Chengchuan said, and also believed that Lu Chengchuan would not fight to the death here.
"I'll hold it off for as long as I can. I'll explain the true situation to the director."
While he was chatting with Zhou Yaning, the soldiers retreated to the second line of defense and set up various heavy weapons to prepare to meet the enemy.
The blood rain lasted for more than an hour. When it stopped, the blood clouds in the sky also dissipated. Everyone looked ahead and the monster's roar was heard again.
Lu Chengchuan looked behind the monster. A monster about fifty or sixty meters tall was standing behind it, emitting a terrifying aura.
"What kind of monster is that..."
Zhou Yaning saw the monster and felt the terrifying aura. Not only her, but many people saw the monster and were also shocked by its terrifying aura.
The army is usually well-trained, and no one has lost their fighting spirit or their morale has been shaken at this moment.
But morale can only ensure that the army does not collapse, but cannot allow them to cross the gap in strength to kill monsters.
The giant monster raised its hands, opened its mouth, and roared. A fierce wind blew from its arms, carrying a hint of blood, toward the position, and the monster under its feet also moved with it.
