Chapter 1359 War Disaster
The situation was not as bad as Zhou Wen had imagined, because Luoyang's own defenses and emergency response capabilities were very strong, and now there were only precursors to a natural disaster, and the real disaster had not yet arrived, so the losses were not great.
Only some ordinary citizens were injured, and the death toll was still in single digits, thanks to the quick response of the Sunset Army.
The precursor to this natural disaster did not come from the Longmen Grottoes, but from problems in Luoyang City itself.
Recently, ancient soldiers can often be seen appearing at the ruins of the ancient city. At first, I thought they had broken through the ban in some dimensional area.
Later it was discovered that those ancient soldiers had crawled out from underground in the ancient city. They emerged from the ground like ghosts, and their numbers were increasing. Only then did they realize something was wrong.
After investigation by An Sheng, Qin Wufu and others, it was determined that this should be a precursor to the birth of a disaster-level creature.
But until now, they have not figured out what kind of natural disaster creature has been born, nor do they know which dimension it is from.
Luoyang is known as the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. The ancient city ruins are piled up one on top of the other underground. No one knows how many soldiers and emperors and generals are buried there.
Judging from the ghost soldiers that appeared, the armor and clothes they wore were different and came from all eras. It was difficult to judge who caused the ghost soldiers to appear.
Logically speaking, no matter how powerful the emperors and generals of ancient times were, they were merely human forces, not even myths, let alone natural disasters.
But now all signs indicate that a disaster-level creature related to ancient soldiers is about to be born.
An Sheng and his team checked a lot of historical data, but they couldn't find out who the disaster-level creature that might be born was.
Because the level of the ghost soldiers that appeared was not very high, and some ghost generals were only epic, and only occasionally a mythical general would appear, the Sunset Army could still control the situation. However, as time passed, under the influence of calamity-level creatures, the level of those ghost soldiers and generals would become higher and higher, until the calamity-level creatures were born, forming a terrifying war disaster. By then, Luoyang would be difficult to defend.
Zhou Wen also had no confidence in being able to defeat the natural disaster level, but thinking that Tiantian was by his side, Zhou Wen felt that there was still hope.
"Even God is on my side. I don't believe that I can't handle a mere natural disaster." Zhou Wen stopped wandering around and headed straight to Luoyang with Tiantian. He couldn't care less now.
Tiantian has been following Zhou Wen, wanting to find Zhou Wen's flaws and find out the truth about the candy box, so naturally she will not give up.
Before Zhou Wen returned to Luoyang, when he was in the area near Luoyang, he saw a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears wandering in the forest.
The soldiers' clothes and armor were all tattered, and their bodies looked like zombies, ugly and with many rotten parts.
But they are not as stiff as zombies. They can move freely and are also very flexible.
When the soldiers saw Zhou Wen, they immediately rushed up. Zhou Wen slapped them in the air, instantly beating the soldiers to pieces, with blood and flesh falling all over the ground.
However, one of the ancient soldiers had half of his body broken off, leaving only the upper half of his body. He actually crawled towards Zhou Wen using his hands, which looked very strange.
Zhou Wen slapped the ancient soldier with his palm again, causing his body to explode, thus killing him.
"This place is still dozens of miles away from LY city. Even here, there are soldiers. It seems that the signs of natural disasters are getting more and more serious." Zhou Wen continued to look towards LY city.
Along the way, he saw more and more ancient soldiers. Later, because there were too many of them, he couldn't kill them all in a short time. Zhou Wen simply ignored them and teleported continuously, rushing towards the city.
The area near Luoyang now seems to have turned into an ancient battlefield, with ancient soldiers who look like humans and ghosts everywhere. The closer to the city, the more ancient soldiers there are.
Zhou Wen saw from afar that the Sunset Army was relying on fortifications to fight fiercely with those soldiers, and the sound of gunfire and cannons was endless.
The bullets made by Yuan Jin kept shooting into the bodies of those ancient soldiers, but the ancient soldiers still rushed over frantically. It took many bullets in a row to knock them to the ground.
Even if the head was blown off, the headless ancient soldier would still rush forward madly.
The best way to kill them is to pierce their hearts. Once their hearts are blown up, those ancient soldiers will fall to the ground and never get up again.
However, the ancient soldiers moved at a fast speed, so it was not easy to hit the heart.
Bullets whizzed, artillery shells exploded from time to time, and each companion pet, under the command of its master, rushed into the battlefield and fought with the ancient soldiers. Although there were no casualties among human soldiers, the situation was already quite tragic.
From time to time, companion pets would be injured and fall down, or be summoned back by their masters.
Tiantian followed Zhou Wen and couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene, seeming very uncomfortable.
"Asheng, have you found the source of the disaster-level monsters?" Zhou Wen returned to the Governor's Mansion. Ansheng was already waiting for him at the gate, so he asked directly.
An Sheng shook his head. "Because we haven't been able to identify the calamity-level creature that has emerged this time, it's difficult to determine which dimension it came from. All we know now is that it must be from a dimension in the dungeon. Deputy Governor Qin, others, and I have researched it and believe that four dungeon dimensions are the most likely suspects. We've already sent investigators to investigate, and we hope to find some good news."
The two talked as they walked. Zhou Wen certainly knew that it would be best to nip the disaster-level creature in the bud. If it was not allowed to be born, the harm it caused would naturally be minimal.
But now we don’t even know which dimension they are in, so this plan is obviously not very reliable. The Sunset Army has actually made preparations to deal with natural disasters.
The only thing they are afraid of is that the natural disaster creature will stay on Earth for too long. If it cannot hold on and has to leave Earth, then Luoyang will be finished.
Some people have even suggested temporarily evacuating Luoyang.
However, it is easy for the Sunset Army and Zhou Wen and others to evacuate, but it is not easy for ordinary citizens to evacuate.
It’s not that they can’t escape, but how can those ordinary citizens with average strength survive outside if they lose the protection of the city?
There are unauthorized creatures everywhere outside now, and ordinary citizens have no way to survive, and the army cannot protect so many citizens to evacuate safely.
"There is another very troublesome thing. Because of this natural disaster, we have to allocate all our manpower. The defense capability of the Governor's Mansion has deteriorated a lot. Those guys who wanted to ask you for help before are now very restless. The Governor's Mansion is not peaceful again." An Sheng's eyes were frighteningly cold.
Good night.
