Chapter 281 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
As soon as the flying mutant beast appeared, the soldiers and psychics who had been on high alert in the city also joined the battle.
The elderly, the weak, women and children had all hidden themselves away in advance, and only the combatants and the young and strong civilians in charge of logistics remained outside.
The efficiency of single-target attacks was too low, so the soldiers just waited for a large number of mutant birds to fall and then threw hypnotic bombs at them.
As a large amount of hypnotic gas spread out, the big birds that made sharp and fierce cries fell to the ground with loud "bangs".
Young and strong logistics personnel wearing gas masks ran out quickly from every corner, and used the swords in their hands to quickly pierce the heads or chests of the mutant birds. When the mutant birds died, they pulled the bodies into the surrounding shelters in groups of three or five.
Every attacking group acted in this way. The combat pressure on their side was low, but the results were quite remarkable. The space rings prepared in advance were almost full.
The people who were watching the battle with the help of drone cameras that were recording the battle situation in various places in the city could not help but cheer softly in order not to attract the attention of the beasts after seeing that the number of mutant birds flying around outside had visibly decreased.
"That's amazing! Just swish a few hypnotic bullets and they all fell down. There's nothing to be afraid of mutant birds!"
"That's because the weapons provided by Yunxian Hou are so useful. I never thought there would be such convenient things before."
"In any case, with fewer mutant birds outside, we'll be safer."
Of course, not all birds of prey swoop down to attack; some hover high in the sky looking for opportunities.
For these birds, the soldiers would fly up with the help of hoverboards, throw hypnotic bombs in the air, or use energy guns and supernatural powers to deal with them.
After the mutant bird is eliminated, it will be treated the same as other birds after falling down. Those who need to be killed will be killed, and those who need to be dragged away will be dragged away.
Once you fall in, no one will escape alive.
After dragging the prey back and forth for an hour or two, the young and strong men were exhausted and sweating, but two or three of them were filled with the joy of harvest and smiles.
"I used to think there would be casualties after the beast tide came, but I didn't expect that there hasn't been even a single injured person so far." A middle-aged man grinned.
Another person nearby chuckled, "Of course not. Old Liu's eldest son fell and knocked out all his teeth."
The neighbors who were working together couldn't help but laugh at what they heard. "That's just the Liu kid being too nervous. It wasn't the mutant bird that hurt him."
There are many soldiers and people with special abilities around them. If they are in real danger, someone will definitely come to rescue them.
If it really doesn't work, there are plenty of shelters nearby where you can hide. As long as you don't stand there stupidly at the critical moment, you generally won't die.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and get back to work. Don't forget, our rewards are calculated based on the number of mutant birds we kill. If we don't do enough, we'll get less meat than other teams."
"That's right! Don't stop. We can't compare to those psychics, but can we compare to others? If we find out that we have much less than others during the final count, it will be so embarrassing!"
The others didn't want to be the last one in line, so their hands, which had just slowed down a little, speeded up again.
The last-hitting moves that seemed a bit awkward at first became more and more skilled over time, and each one became a ruthless last-hitting tool.
Apart from the young and strong, the old, weak, women and children also did not help at all and just watched.
The men are fighting hard outside and are consuming a lot of physical energy. They must eat, right?
Nutrients can certainly solve the problem quickly, but the temperature is now clearly getting lower and lower.
Even though you are sweating profusely during the battle, the single-digit temperature outside during the break still makes people feel uncomfortable.
After working so hard for so long, wouldn’t it be better if you could have a drink of hot water to take a break?
The women and children don’t need to worry about the prepared soup, as the young and strong people will be responsible for delivering it to various delivery points along the defense line one by one.
The young and strong men, holding soup buckets in their hands, looked up at the psychics who were still fighting fiercely outside the city wall, and their expressions became uncontrollably excited.
They whispered, "People with special abilities are so powerful. It would be great if one of them was my son."
"I don't have a son, only two daughters. If they can't be sons, then being a son-in-law is fine. Then I won't have to worry about the rest of my life."
"You guys are dreaming." Someone who was sober rolled his eyes speechlessly.
There are only a few dozen people with special abilities in each town on average, only a few dozen among tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Do you still want someone to be your son or son-in-law?
Not all wealthy businessmen from prominent families can get it. How could they possibly get such a good thing?
As they talked, the young men's attention was inevitably attracted to the battlefield outside the defense line.
Looking around, the outside was filled with glaring red, flying pieces of flesh, and shrill screams, and occasionally the rumbling sound of explosions could still be heard.
The main battlefield has completely become a huge meat grinder.
The scene was much more exciting than the battle with the mutant birds in the city. The young men couldn't bear it and looked away after just two glances. Some of them couldn't help but cover their pounding hearts.
The envy of people with special abilities also dissipated a lot.
Although so far only people with certain status or military officers have been able to obtain the elixir to awaken their superpowers.
But most of those people with status and position may not have participated in such a brutal battle before gaining superpowers.
Just because you have superpowers means you have to fulfill the corresponding obligations.
Many of the young and strong people are illiterate and do not understand any big principles, but they still vaguely understand what "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" means.
·
Night fell as everyone fought fiercely.
I don’t know if the mutant beasts also need to rest, but as the night deepens, the frequency of attacks from the beast tide, which is constantly replenished by subsequent herds, has decreased a lot.
The new emperor left the city wall and returned to the rear very early, but Lu Xuan stood on the city wall facing the battlefield where the fighting was most intense and watched for a whole day.
Yes, during the process of the Yunlu Village hunting team fighting, resting, fighting, and resting repeatedly, I never joined the battle once and just watched for the whole day.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but complain.
[While today's battles were certainly enjoyable to watch, did the host really not even lift a finger?]
[That's right! This is the last round of recommendations, don't you want to show off and increase your exposure?]
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows, his face full of disapproval.
Regardless of whether he takes action or not, today's exposure is enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, this battle will continue for a long time. If he takes action at the beginning, it will be difficult to stop later. You can't expect him to deal with so many beasts alone, right?
It would be better to give others a chance first.
He will wait until he feels the time is right, and then naturally the audience will spread the news of his action in the Star Alliance, which will still attract a lot of traffic and bring more popularity.
As for today's data increase, it is not much different from the previous round.
The number of users online has reached 55 billion, the number of fans is 8 billion, and the total balance of points is over 80 billion.
The reason why the balance increased by 30 billion compared with the last time was not only because of the continuous material transactions in the middle, but also because a large number of weapons and equipment were exchanged before the war. More points were spent, and naturally more was earned from recycling the materials after they were exchanged.
It is estimated that weapons will need to be replenished in subsequent battles. Once the beast tide is over, the points may exceed 100 billion.
After this day's battle, not only did Lu Xuan's live broadcast room reap rich rewards, but the people inside and outside the city also reaped rich rewards.
The people in the city assisted in the battle and obtained a large number of mutant bird corpses. Because it was inconvenient to go out and recover them during the battle outside the city, most of the mechas participating in the battle collected the mutant beast corpses that were not crushed into meat paste.
Although only one or two tenths of the beast tide was recovered in the end, the total amount was still astonishing.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fighting situation was relatively calm at night, the free people in the city spent a lot of time sorting the prey, and those that could not be eaten were sent to be made into fertilizer.
The rewards will be distributed according to the contributions of the people in different divisions of labor today.
The reason they didn't wait until the battle was over to divide it was because no one could calculate when it would end.
Supplies are only real when they are in your hands, and they can also give everyone more motivation.
Furthermore, the space ring is limited, so you need to free up some space for later use.
·
Over the next few days, the fighting continued, and each day was as intense as the first day, with no signs of abating.
For sustainable development, whether it is soldiers, people with special abilities, or young and strong people doing logistics, they will take turns to rest.
At the beginning, Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao and other young and strong men who followed Lu Xuan to help acted as if they did not need to rest and could fight for three days and three nights in a row.
But he couldn't bear the high-intensity fighting on the first day. From the second day onwards, he only fought for half a day every day. Usually, when his supernatural power was exhausted, he would go down to rest and absorb crystal cores to recover. Later, he would take turns with others, fighting for one day and resting for one day.
At this point, they began to feel more and more fortunate that most of the mutant plants could not move and only mutant beasts came. Otherwise, if the animals and plants came together, the intensity of the battle would be even higher.
That's really enough to make one's eyes go dark just thinking about it.
On the fifth day after the beast tide arrived, Li Yue gave birth to a son safely in the medical cabin.
Wu Yang, who became a father, was obviously more eager to fight. He wanted to quickly eliminate the entire tide of beasts and return to be with his wife and children.
However, although they had wiped out more than a million of them, the number of beasts had been decreasing, increasing, decreasing, and increasing over and over again, except for a brief pause every night.
Later on, the species of animals began to become more diverse and even more difficult to deal with.
A swarm of ants, like a black ocean, swarmed in from all directions.
It is impossible to determine the prototype of these ants, but each one is half the size of a human palm. Wherever they pass, whether it is trees or mutant beasts, they will be eaten up, leaving only large pieces of white bones.
The humans felt their scalps tingling just watching this.
That’s not all. In addition to the ant colonies, there are also equally large colonies of rats.
Even the flying creatures entering the city are no longer large birds like hawks and falcons, but mutated wasps, flies, cockroaches, moths, bats, etc.
The larger the number and the smaller the target, the more troublesome it was for the fighters.
The sound of swarms of bats can give you a splitting headache, the scale powder spread by moths can have a paralyzing effect, and some of them can cause extreme itching when touched, and may even cause rashes.
Many of the young and strong men and soldiers in the city who were caught off guard suffered losses at the hands of these annoying little creatures, and the number of injured people soared rapidly.
[Oh my god, I thought the larger the mutant beasts, the scarier they were, but I didn't expect these small creatures to be the most terrifying.]
"Haven't you heard that concentration is the essence? The smaller the quantity, the greater the quantity. Large beasts can only form a swarm of a few hundred at most, while insects, ants, and rats can easily number in the tens of thousands, not to mention flies and wasps. A million-strong army is easy."
[Ahhhh! Such a huge cockroach! I really can't stand cockroaches! And they're the flying kind! Just looking at them gives me nightmares!]
What’s even more annoying about these small beasts is that they are impossible to kill completely.
The mecha is too big, and many fish will be missed when it is stepped on or shot at with an energy gun.
Furthermore, although these insects and ants are not strong enough to bite through the outer shell of the mecha, they can still affect the operation of the people inside by climbing up and blocking the mecha's vision.
To this end, Huo Tiankuo and several other generals discussed and quickly ordered the mecha to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield and resume long-range attacks.
This time, in addition to the ordinary bombs and hypnotic bombs, an enhanced version of □□ has been added.
A thrown bomb could instantly ignite an area of thousands of square meters. The mutant rats that were ignited would struggle and roll around in pain, further expanding the burning area by one to two times. The effect was so good that it was applauded.
As soon as □□ appeared, the fighters who were still anxious and cursing the moment before started cheering the next moment.
"Ha! Let you go wild! Burn all these!"
In addition to the □□, the arrowheads of the alloy crossbows in the hands of the soldiers were also wrapped with cloth soaked in kerosene. Once an arrow was shot, anything that stuck to or splashed on it would also quickly spread among the surrounding creatures.
The impact range of a single rocket is small, but hundreds or thousands of rockets fired together can still affect a large number of rat swarms or a group.
The key is that it is more cost-effective than □□.
The attack methods of some psychics were not very effective against the ant colonies and rat swarms, and they also changed the way of fighting.
It mainly consists of psychics who can carry out area attacks. The water and thunder elements cooperate with each other, the wind and fire elements cooperate with each other, and the ice element uses the freezing ability to freeze.
Although Lu Xuan did not participate in the battle head-on, he used a more powerful enhancement ability than Liu Chun to enhance the power of all the psychics, allowing them to feel the pleasure of "leveling up" on the spot and doubling their combat effectiveness.
Even for the ordinary soldiers, Lu Xuan replenished their status, making them stronger and eliminating their fatigue.
The initial troubles caused by ant colonies, rat swarms, and many small flying insects were quickly resolved.
Despite this, everyone was still fighting impatiently.
After all, these mortal things are not edible, and almost nothing is left after they are burned to death. It can be said that it is a completely losing battle.
You have to fight, but if you fight you will lose. Who wouldn’t be annoyed?
As the Minister of Revenue, Minister Bai and the logistics managers of various towns were so painful that they almost convulsed when they saw the accounts that only brought in money but not out money every day.
The new emperor's expression paused after receiving the report.
He thought that no matter how large the ant and rat colonies were, they would eventually be killed off, and perhaps they would just have to hold out for two or three days.
But after five consecutive days of these damn guys, the new emperor finally couldn't help but go find Lu Xuan.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to take action?" Lu Xuan looked at the new emperor.
The new emperor said embarrassedly: "The weapons consumption is really too great. If we continue like this..." The landlord has no surplus food at home.
He still has millions of disaster victims to feed, and it is impossible for him to consume all his supplies in order to eliminate the beast tide.
Lu Xuan did not refuse.
Even if the new emperor didn't mention it, he had originally planned to take action.
The audience has been urging for so many days and is almost at their limit. If it drags on any longer, it will backfire.
Besides, he himself was also itching to do it.
Lu Xuan glanced at the barrage and said, "Don't you want to see me fight? Now, as you wish."
The audience in the live broadcast room were excited, it’s finally here!
Just as Lu Xuan expected, many viewers immediately posted the news on Xingbo.
The number of real-time online users in the live broadcast room also increased rapidly, quickly approaching the peak on the day of the recommendation.
Lu Xuan waved to the people around him, "Everyone step back."
Huo Tiankuo confirmed, "Everyone?"
Lu Xuan nodded. "Everyone, the crossbow team, the spear team, all living people except me, all retreat, the farther the better. All drones on the battlefield must be retrieved."
Huo Tiankuo heard the reminder in Lu Xuan's tone and immediately made arrangements after asking the new emperor for permission.
Lu Xuan also reminded the new emperor and other ministers to activate all protective shields, and then turned his gaze towards the battlefield. A cold glint flashed in his cold eyes, and the pressure of an eighth-level psychic suddenly rushed towards the battlefield without warning.
