Chapter 280 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
On the city wall of the Western Continent.
Led by the new emperor, with many military generals and some civil officials standing on both sides, the group looked solemnly at the dark tide of beasts in the distance.
The first groups of animals that appeared were mostly common wild beasts.
There were jackals, tigers, leopards, pigs, deer, cattle, sheep, hares, and roe deer. The most special ones were probably the mutant monkeys that had mutated to look like gorillas, and a large number of pythons interspersed among the animals.
The new emperor looked at the beasts and asked the others in a deep voice, "Is everything arranged?"
One of the civil officials said, "We've already ordered a large number of fur products made from high-level mutant beasts to be placed in other directions. The beasts there have already begun to move towards this side."
Another person said, "All the tents in the city have been taken down, and the victims have been placed in makeshift mobile shelters and greenhouses. However... I don't know if they can completely block an aerial attack."
The person who spoke looked up at the equally dark 'sky curtain', which was obviously formed by a large number of mutant birds, with a solemn expression.
New Emperor: "Using blackout curtains to block the view from the sky is much safer than leaving the people in tents that can be easily torn apart. Have soldiers on standby at all times around the perimeter to immediately counterattack if attacked."
General: "Yes!"
Someone looked around, "Hasn't Yunxian Hou arrived yet?"
Others were also a little anxious.
Although they have not yet fully witnessed Yun Xianhou's true strength, since other psychics in Yunlu Village are so powerful, Yun Xianhou must be even stronger.
Faced with a tide of beasts whose numbers were too numerous to count and which would not retreat based on losses like in a war between humans, both civil officials and military generals felt quite anxious.
In their hearts, Lu Xuan's existence is undoubtedly the pillar of stability.
As long as Lu Xuan is here, they have enough confidence to win. When he is not here...
A breeze blew by, and suddenly a figure appeared in the empty seat next to the new emperor.
Everyone was shocked, and the generals instinctively wanted to draw their swords, but they stopped at the critical moment after seeing the appearance of the person coming.
"Marquis Yunxian!" others spoke excitedly.
The new emperor, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xuan, who was as calm as ever.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly to them as a greeting, and focused most of his attention on the approaching beast tide.
The audience in the live broadcast room also reacted strongly when they saw the dark mass.
[Wow! So many people have already gathered!]
[It looks even scarier than the small beast tides on mutant planets I've seen others photograph.]
[Isn't this a gathering of all the mutant beasts from the entire ancient plane?]
[Even if it's not all, it should be at least more than half, right? ]
[I feel like the threat of a beast tide attack is no less than the apocalyptic zombie tidal wave I've seen on other streamers. It's terrifying just watching it.]
If we were to encounter such an attack, we wouldn't be afraid. But for the ancients, this could be considered a natural disaster in another sense, a living natural disaster.
[Hiss, my scalp is tingling. With so many mutant beasts, can the anchor win?]
The second half of the sentence is redundant. It should be, "How could the anchor possibly lose?"
[The system mall had few unlockable hot weapons in the early stages, but the streamer has now unlocked over 90% of the items. Forget about tackling the beast tide. If he doesn't consider the consequences, he could even destroy all creatures in the entire plane.]
[What kind of horror story is being told above? They think the anchor is too devilish.]
[Why all that nonsense? I just want to know, will we see the host killing people and showing off his might next?]
Lu Xuan glanced at the barrage and said, "No rush."
According to the images sent back by the drone, there are more herds of beasts coming from farther away that they cannot see with the naked eye. This battle will not end in one or two days, and he does not intend to stop at the beginning.
The new emperor asked Lu Xuan, "Have the other people from Yunlu Village followed you?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "They went to other positions on the defense line to provide support."
After the biological mutation occurred, some mutant strange fish that grew legs and could go ashore appeared in the waters around the island of Yunlu Village.
These strange fish are huge in number, with sharp teeth in their mouths. Wherever they pass, countless ordinary fish are killed or injured.
Fortunately, there is a protective shield on the island, and Lu Xuan also deliberately left the vampire vine there to deter the mutated amphibious fish. The mutated amphibious fish did not dare to approach the island, so there was no need to worry about the safety of the villagers on the island.
This is also the reason why he can confidently bring the young and strong men of the hunting team to the Western Continent for support.
After all, it is impossible to let your nest be destroyed by mutant creatures just to help others.
As for trading the city's protective shield to the new emperor and covering the entire continent, the range is much larger than Yunlu Village, and the energy consumption is also extraordinary.
Even if the new emperor controls most of the supplies in the Western Continent, considering that most of these supplies have to be used for disaster victims, the remaining financial resources will not last for more than a few days.
It would be better not to give them this hope in the first place.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. The enemy is already right in front of you, so let’s fight.
Lu Xuan applied for the second round of recommendations in advance. When the herd finally arrived half an hour later, the second round of screen projection recommendations was also arranged, and the background data rose wildly again.
At the same time, there were also overwhelming roars of beasts.
The soldiers on the city wall who were ready for battle were so shocked that they couldn't help but cover their ears and frown.
Seeing the time was right, Huo Tiankuo shouted sternly, "Do it!"
The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time operated the drones and flew quickly into the beast tide. Under the drones were an astonishing number of bombs prepared in advance.
When the drone flew to the right location, Huo Tiankuo said, "Throw!"
As the bomb fell into the herd, the entire herd was filled with continuous explosions and the screams of mutant beasts.
"boom--"
“Boom—”
“Ouch—”
When the new emperor and other civil officials saw large areas of flesh and blood being blown away in the distance, some of them showed uncomfortable expressions on their faces, and some even turned their heads and started to retch.
But no one thought it was cruel or inappropriate.
If the beasts were allowed to climb over the city wall alive and enter the city, they and all the people would be the ones to die.
Between wild beasts and their own personal safety, they would of course choose the latter!
In addition to the central location where they were, more explosions were heard along the entire defense line that stretched for dozens of miles.
Moreover, the explosions did not stop after just one batch, but continued in waves, until the surging and dense herd of beasts was dispersed. Only then, in order to save bomb consumption, was it changed to □□.
In terms of lethality, the power of □□ is naturally not as strong as that of a bomb.
However, the pain can cause the mutant beasts to become violent and they will no longer rush towards the western continent. Instead, they will turn to their own kind or other beasts running around and start indiscriminate attacks.
Roaring, pouncing, biting, scratching, the beast tide started a primitive and wild battle before it actually came into contact with its prey called humans.
[Who came up with this tactic? Stupid! Before the humans even made a move, a large number of the mutant beasts had already been wiped out.]
【Fight! Fight!】
[Hiss! As expected, the battles between mutant beasts are the bloodiest. Too exciting.]
At the same time, the elderly, weak, women and children who stayed on the island of Yunlu Village were also watching the battle through the drone camera hovering on the city wall.
Lu Qing subconsciously covered the eyes of Xiao Shitou in her arms, and then looked at Li Yue, who was about to give birth, with some worry.
"Why don't you go back and rest?"
Li Yue shook his head with a determined look. "It's just that the mutant beasts were wiped out. In today's world, we should have gotten used to these things by now. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
Li Tie, who was about to join in the persuasion, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He just signaled with his eyes that Doctor Lin should be ready with the medical cabin at any time, and then his gaze returned to the drone screen.
At this moment, the psychics who were on full alert on the city wall, including their sons/grandsons/husbands, had not yet joined the battle. The elderly and women only took a quick glance and then stared in amazement at the beasts being continuously destroyed.
"As expected, bombs are the most powerful. One explosion can kill more than ten or twenty mutant beasts. If hundreds of them are blown down, eighteen hundred of them will be killed in an instant." Wu Yinyin praised.
Lu Qing commented, "□□'s effect is quite good, and its impact is quite wide."
Su Ying's eyes swept over the long-legged fish mixed among the land beasts, her expression full of disgust.
"Those weird fish are really disgusting. My Xiong Mao even said he wanted to try them before. I think he's crazy!"
The other female members of the family also looked as if they were retreating when they saw those strange fish.
The mutant pigs and wolves at most changed their fur color and became larger in size, but the mutant fish had long legs and small bumps all over its body. It was uglier than the sea lizards I had seen before, and it made me lose my appetite just by looking at it.
They also couldn't understand why Xiong Mao wanted to eat this kind of thing?
Let’s eat something good!
After watching for a while without seeing anyone from their side taking part in the battle, someone couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that we're only going to be using firearms today and not engaging in direct combat?"
Li Tie shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. A single bomb or a box of them might not be expensive, but hundreds or even thousands of boxes accumulated would be worth a lot of supplies. It's impossible to consume them endlessly."
Sure enough, after about an hour of bombing, all the bombs were removed and the herd rushed forward again.
The human side switched to mechas for battle.
Several machines were dispatched from each town, plus more than twenty machines from Yunlu Village, totaling more than thirty huge monsters that descended directly into the beast tide and violently crushed those ferocious-looking beasts.
Some cut the beasts into patties with their feet, and slapped the huge mutant beasts one after another with their palms like hitting a ball. Others pulled out huge energy swords or energy shotguns, and swept across the area where the mutant beasts were most concentrated.
The soldiers and civilians on and inside the city walls who were watching the battle through the big screen couldn't help but cheer.
The scene of one-sided crushing is inspiring, and one feels endless courage and fighting spirit surging in the chest.
How could they lose with such powerful fighting ability!
It’s just a tide of beasts, they’ll kill as many as come!
The women of Yunlu Village were also very excited.
Because most of the people in the mechas are their relatives, they are also filled with pride when they see them escorting the many people of the Western Continent.
At the same time, the female family members also cheered for the small number of women who participated in the war, including Wei Xiang, Wei Qiaoqiao, and the new daughter-in-law Wen Cui who married into Yangshan.
Lu Qing, Su Ying and others were unable to go into battle themselves because they had young children who needed to be taken care of. They could only encourage them and let others know that women can do the same things as men, have the same sense of justice, and can save the people from danger.
Xiong Dabao, Li Kangbao and other children were also shouting excitedly, saying "That one belongs to my dad" and "That mecha over there is my dad!"
Lu Chen's eyes also lit up, but because Lu Xuan still didn't join the battle, he didn't cry out like the others. Instead, he said with some regret: "It would be great if I could go too."
The adults around: “?”
Li Tie, Mr. Zhang and other elders were speechless and said, "Behave yourself. You are so young, and you still want to drive a mecha."
"Let's talk about it when you grow up."
Lu Chen curled his lips.
He is not a child anymore, he won't believe such things.
My brother has already said that the catastrophe will only last for five years. He will only be twelve years old when the catastrophe ends, and he will have no chance to go to the battlefield TAT!
The participation of the mecha team in the battle once again severely consumed a large number of beasts, but their overly large bodies also inevitably caused them to miss a lot of beasts.
The beasts soon rushed to the city wall.
Huo Tiankuo waved to the soldiers who had been prepared. The soldiers standing in a row immediately aimed their alloy crossbows and energy guns downwards and began to fire in batches.
"call out--"
“Swoosh, swoosh—”
The mutant beasts that were shot fell down, and more beasts continued to rush forward, stepping on the corpses of their own kind. Then, with a series of crackling flashes and increasingly shrill screams, they were instantly turned into charcoal by the high-voltage power grid that had been arranged in advance on the city wall.
"Good!" The generals couldn't help but applaud, their faces full of joy.
An old general sighed, "If we had these weapons and equipment when we fought the war back then, we wouldn't have to fight so hard." There would be no need to lose thousands of soldiers at every turn.
Half a day later, the psychics finally joined the battle.
The psychics distributed at different positions of the defense line, including Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao and other first-tier combat personnel from Yunlu Village, as well as Ye Feiluan, Chen Bing, Xie Heng and others, all engaged in fierce battles with the mutant beasts.
Various supernatural attacks blossomed in front of the defense line, and countless mutant beasts fell under the attacks of the supernaturals again.
The beast tide on the ground was visibly becoming sparser.
But a new crisis soon followed, and flying mutant beasts arrived.
