Soon Lu Chengchuan knocked the armored corpse to the ground and tore its throat with one hand.
Without him blocking the way in front, the monsters around surged forward like a tide. Lin Jing frantically created air blades to try to block the monsters' attacks.
But there were too many monsters and he couldn't stop them alone.
"We need support!" Xu Meng shouted from behind the crowd.
Monsters kept coming out of the light column, and their number was increasing. Everyone kept retreating and soon had to retreat back to the alley.
"Retreat back to the alley first. I'll call for backup right away."
Zhou Yaning ordered to retreat to the alley and wait for the main force to come to support.
They retreated, and Lu Chengchuan blocked the monsters from behind. After Zhou Yaning and the others safely retreated back to the alley, Lu Chengchuan blocked the entrance of the alley to stop the incoming monsters.
The internal energy was circulating wildly, and every punch and kick of Lu Chengchuan was packed with powerful force.
The monsters that rushed up flew away at an even faster speed. He blocked the entrance to the alley alone. As long as he had enough internal energy, he could keep the monsters at bay.
Zhou Yaning quickly called for support, and after more than ten minutes, reinforcements arrived at the other end of the alley.
Gunshots were heard behind the monsters. Zhou Yaning's expression improved a lot when he knew that support had arrived.
Within a few minutes, the support troops cleared out the monsters and joined them.
"The monsters appear in front. You guys help from behind and we'll go up and see what's going on." With support, Zhou Yaning didn't want to run, but wanted to continue rushing.
The beam of light is right in front, and this is the thing that keeps summoning monsters.
They have to find a way to solve the problem. It would be best to destroy the light column. If they fail to hold it, the monsters will rush out and affect the retreat of the main force.
The officer who came to support nodded and obeyed the order. Zhou Yaning loaded the bullet and immediately came behind Lu Chengchuan.
"Wait, just rush up on your own, don't worry about us, and see if you can destroy the light column."
"I see."
Kill the monster that rushes towards you first, he said without turning his head.
After giving the order, Zhou Yaning gave the order to charge out, and Lu Chengchuan was the first to charge out. He was like a tank, madly crushing the monster in front of him.
As the monsters fell one after another, Lu Chengchuan ignored the people behind him and just kept moving forward.
Soon Lu Chengchuan left the people behind him behind, and the space in between was occupied by monsters. Lu Chengchuan was attacked from both sides, and his back was attacked by countless monsters.
The monster tore his clothes, revealing his strong back.
The monster's claws scratched his skin, but the claws that were strong enough to tear off animal flesh could not leave any marks. Lu Chengchuan didn't care about that and just kept moving forward.
Without any worries, Lu Chengchuan killed his way to the light column. At this moment, he was surrounded by monsters.
Lu Chengchuan reached out to touch the beam of light, and in an instant, his hand disappeared into it. There was no warmth, no touch, it felt like placing his hand in the air.
But a second after his palm touched the beam of light, a cold voice sounded in his mind.
【Sensing pure energy, absorbing it.】
Lu Chengchuan looked up and saw that this thing was also pure energy, and like the two special black fog cores, it could be absorbed by the system.
Knowing that he could absorb the light column, Lu Chengchuan turned his body so that his back touched the light column, while killing the monsters around him.
More and more monsters gathered around him. Although he was absorbing the light beam's ability, there were still many monsters jumping out.
Zhou Yaning and the others were looking for Lu Chengchuan more than ten meters away. Normally, it would take less than two seconds to cross these ten meters, but now there were countless monsters standing within this area.
Without Lu Chengchuan leading the way, they could hardly move forward, and it took a lot of effort to take a step forward.
The blood mist filled the air and they could not see Lu Chengchuan, but careful people noticed that the light column was shrinking.
The light emitted by the beam of light can penetrate the blood mist, enough for people hundreds of meters away to see it. Now, the light is fading inward and it is gradually getting smaller.
The beam of light became smaller, and Lu Chengchuan also retreated. In less than three minutes, the beam of light that was originally more than two meters wide shrank to a diameter of less than one meter, and was still shrinking rapidly.
The beam of light was shrinking, and the number of monsters jumping out of it was also decreasing.
Zhou Yaning, who was more than ten meters away, could also feel that the monsters in front of them were decreasing. Further ahead, the beam of light falling from the sky was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Quick! Go up and see what's going on."
Zhou Yaning knew clearly that this must be something Lu Chengchuan did, otherwise the light column would not change for no reason.
Everyone fought hard against the monsters. As their number decreased, they were able to move forward faster. When they were about to break out of the monsters' encirclement, the white beam of light suddenly dissipated.
The light column, which was only more than half a meter in diameter, suddenly collapsed, and even Lu Chengchuan himself didn't know what was going on.
The light shattered, scattered in all directions, and was then swallowed by the blood mist.
Before Lu Chengchuan could look back, most of the light had dissipated. He looked back and saw only a little light left. When it completely dissipated, the scene became a normal place, and no monsters jumped out from it.
When Zhou Yaning and the others rushed up, the light of the beam was completely swallowed up by the blood mist.
【Successfully absorbed energy and gained 10 years of life.】
With ten years of life in their pockets, Lu Chengchuan and others continued to kill monsters. There were still a lot of monsters, but without support, they and the army quickly got rid of them.
"What happened? Why did the light column disappear?"
After the gunshots and explosions stopped, Zhou Yaning came over and asked Lu Chengchuan.
They couldn't see clearly through the blood mist. Only Lu Chengchuan was close to the light column. She knew that it was Lu Chengchuan who broke the light column, and she wanted to know what method Lu Chengchuan used to break the light column.
"I broke it." Lu Chengchuan made up an excuse.
Zhou Yaning naturally suspected that except for here, other places would need to rely on large explosives to deal with the black fog core, and use more energy to blow up the black fog core.
As a result, when she came to them, she and Lu Chengchuan dealt with the black fog core twice, and each time was silent.
Can this thing be smashed with a fist?
Zhou Yaning was suspicious, but she didn't know how to ask, and she didn't want to stump Lu Chengchuan with her questions.
After dealing with the sudden light columns and monsters, they returned to the street and continued to protect the convoy out of the city.
After the battle, he gained more than twenty-six years of life. The majority of it was obtained from the two armored corpses and the light pillars, and the rest was obtained from those low-level monsters.
Now he has nearly forty years to live. If he tries again, he will be able to improve the Giant Elephant Skill to the perfect level.
Sitting in the car, Lu Chengchuan actually hoped that the monster would appear soon.
At noon, the vanguard convoy slowly drove out of the city, followed closely by the main force. The convoy extended deep into the city. At this time, Lu Chengchuan, Zhou Yaning and others were still patrolling in the city.
"Everyone be careful, today is only the first day."
It’s only the first day and a monster has appeared. What will happen next?
