Chapter 251 The lowest-ranking woman stirred up the entire battlefield.
Modilan looked at her with deep affection, first closing the metal bucket, then softly said:
"Silly girl, you probably don't realize how precious this thing is."
Don't worry, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary.
After this battle, I will return the rest to you; it will be of great benefit to your future advancement.
Zuo Shan thought to himself, "Don't worry, I have plenty more."
She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Everyone has their own trump cards. The millennia-old spiritual milk she collected was considered very precious by a ninth-level expert, and now it seems to be an extraordinary treasure. Perhaps this will be one of her most important trump cards for saving her life in the future.
"Okay, we will definitely win." After pausing for two seconds, she finally said only one short sentence before turning around and returning to her original post.
It's unclear how long this battle will last. She's just a lowly soldier now and shouldn't take up too much of the commander's time. Doing her own job is the best course of action.
Although she used her speed ability to come and go, a small number of people still saw her, and some scoffed at her in their hearts.
"This infatuated woman, doesn't she know what the situation is? She actually dares to run up to the commander and fawn over him at this critical moment. If every combatant wasn't useful, the commander would probably slap her away."
Zuo Shan didn't care what others thought; she continued to focus on the battle.
The baby in my arms had already closed his eyes, his long eyelashes still trembling slightly, as if struggling to stay awake, but unable to resist the overwhelming sleepiness, and finally became as quiet as a chicken.
Zuo Shan couldn't help but sigh: No wonder he's a child from the wasteland. He can actually sleep through such a noisy battle. She was looking forward to seeing how handsome he would be when he grew up and dominated the battlefield.
Zuo Shan had lost count of how many times she had fired her crossbow. Her aching arm reminded her that if she continued like this, her entire arm would probably be useless by tomorrow.
But the mutated sea monsters kept crawling out, and no one could stop them. Everyone could only grit their teeth and persevere.
Recalling the exhilarating feeling of energy entering her body when she unscrewed the metal bucket lid earlier, she finally couldn't resist taking out a small bottle of spiritual milk that she had prepared in advance, secretly dipping her finger in it, and rubbing it on the back of each teammate's hand.
Pan Duole and Xiao Bao were already familiar with this thing, but Master Liu and Baluo were encountering it for the first time.
Exhausted, they saw their commander suddenly become energetic, and they perked up as well, assuming that the commander had given them confidence, without suspecting that their teammates' unconscious touch would replenish their energy.
The people in the adjacent groups saw Zuo Shan and her group fighting more and more fiercely, and assumed that they were fighting desperately for a major battle, so they couldn't help but secretly admire them.
The group that was initially considered the least likely to succeed included women, underage children, and even a baby being carried on someone's back. Unexpectedly, they put in such a tremendous effort.
Emotions are contagious. Seeing the women and children working so hard, the team next to them felt that as young adults, they couldn't just hide behind the defensive wall. Their fighting spirit was ignited.
Next, one neighboring group after another was infected by the emotions of the groups next to them. Their fighting spirit rose higher and higher like a snowball, and the intensity of their superpowers increased by several times. Anyone whose superpower was weakened would feel embarrassed.
Zuo Shan never expected that she, the lowest-ranking first-level ability user on the entire battlefield, could actually cause the entire battlefield to be engulfed!
Some people have noticed that the weapons designed by Zuo Shan and her team are very powerful. The crossbow in her hand, combined with her first-tier speed ability, can pierce the heads of second-tier and even injured third-tier sea beasts.
During my break, I came over to discuss with them whether I could buy a crossbow at a high price.
At a time like this, if they could conserve their special abilities and kill a few more sea beasts, why wouldn't Zuo Shan and the others agree?
Next, everyone in their group was extremely busy. Xiao Bao was in charge of shaping the crossbow, Master Liu was in charge of forging it, and Pan Duole and Balo were in charge of imbuing the crossbow bolts with fire and lightning powers.
Zuo Shan also took the time to enhance the speed of the crossbow bolts, making them twice as fast as they were originally, thus increasing their lethality and reducing the chances of the sea monsters dodging them.
Considering that this is for temporary use on the battlefield, it does not need to be repeatedly refined; as long as it is shaped and sturdy enough, that is sufficient.
They manufactured crossbows as quickly as possible, completely disregarding aesthetics, and didn't care if they were a bit rough.
In just one hour, they had produced six crossbows, each equipped with twenty bolts.
Most people thought that Xiao Bao was Master Liu's contracted beast, whose function was to assist the master in refining weapons. Master Liu deliberately did not explain this, in order to prevent people from seeing that Zuo Shan's level was low and coveting Xiao Bao's abilities, and thus trying to steal it.
While refining weapons on the battlefield, Master Liu consciously taught Pan Duole about weapon refining. She already had enough theoretical knowledge from the booklet given to her by the old steward, and now with the opportunity to observe in person, she quickly mastered the most basic weapon refining methods.
Master Liu then confidently entrusted her with the task of forging crossbow bolts.
With the help of Xiao Bao, Pan Duole manipulated his supernatural fire and quickly forged his first crossbow bolt.
Because she possesses fire-based abilities, the crossbow bolts she crafts are imbued with fire-based power. Zuo Shan became the first guinea pig, firing the bolt at a third-tier ice-attribute sea beast, while also enhancing her own speed ability.
The crossbow bolt successfully pierced the sea monster's protective ice layer, penetrated its skull, and pinned it firmly in place. Before the supernatural fire had even died down, it burned the sea monster's body to ashes.
Ah Chen woke up because he needed to urinate. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a blue beast core. He immediately condensed his mental energy into a spoon and dug the beast core back.
The baby placed the beast core in his mother's palm, looking at her with a pleading expression, which melted Zuo Shan's heart.
"Wow! You're such a good baby, already so filial to Mommy at such a young age!" She gave the baby a big kiss, then lifted his little bottom and let him pee against the ice wall.
A third-tier sea beast, which had just crawled out of the sea, was caught off guard and had hot, smelly liquid poured over its head. Its already low intelligence made it dizzy: Is this a new human skill? Why does it seem so harmless?
Beneath the ice wall, the corpses of the sea beasts piled higher and higher, until the later sea beasts couldn't even keep up with the food. Even if they were not very intelligent, they realized by this time that the humans on the ice wall were not easy to deal with; they were simply too ferocious!
Some of the slightly more intelligent third-tier sea beasts had second thoughts, quietly turned back, and dived back into the depths of the sea.
The peak eighth-tier sea beast that triggered the beast tide mainly controlled fourth- and fifth-tier sea beasts, which then drove the third- and second-tier sea beasts ashore.
These low-level sea beasts, once they smell blood or sense supernatural energy, will charge forward regardless of their own lives. Every beast tide is launched in this way.
However, the fourth and fifth-tier sea beasts that came ashore were all suppressed and beaten by the ninth-tier human experts. As for the sixth and seventh-tier sea beasts, they were not driven by the eighth-tier peak experts at all, and they hid far away in the depths of the sea to watch.
They only come ashore to pick up the spoils after seeing that the beast tide has successfully wiped out the human safe zone. After all, they are sea beasts. If they leave their home ground and go to land, they will be at a disadvantage when they encounter humans and land mutant beasts of the same level.
From sunset until now, the eighth-tier peak sea beast has been driving the beast tide for a full 20 hours, and it is extremely exhausted.
However, the eighth-tier land beast that it had agreed to share the feast with has yet to conquer District 41, let alone provide any assistance to it.
It was nearing its limit and couldn't help but let out a long howl, a sound that was a message to the eighth-tier land beast: fight or retreat.
The eighth-tier land beast was equally frustrated. It had done its best, but suddenly so many second-tier and third-tier mercenaries appeared in District 41. Although their levels were not high, the mercenaries were always well-trained.
They might not be able to fight alone, but if they team up, they can even deal with fourth-tier mutated beasts.
What's most infuriating is that even though it has imposed a no-fly zone and cut off the connection between Area 41 and the safe zones within Area 40, why would Area 40 send a mercenary group to continuously attack its no-fly zone with firearms and supernatural abilities?
On one side, a large number of low-level ability users are resisting the beast tide it launched, and on the other side, there are foreign mercenary groups attacking its no-fly zone. It is essentially attacked from both sides, so how can it spare any effort to support the beach?
In fact, the person who attacked the no-fly zone was Chi Zhengyang. On the surface, he was the vice leader of the Storm Hunter Mercenary Group in District 40, but in private, he was the "Eagle Eye" left in District 40 by the Lan Dun family (those who have forgotten this character can refer to Chapter 77).
When Matt and Mina were sent away from Azure Bay by the adults, Matt realized that the adults had no one to serve them now. Matt contacted Chi Zhengyang in District 40 and told him to keep a low profile and find an opportunity to go to the adults' side to be at their beck and call.
Following Matt's instructions, Chi Zhengyang first went to the mercenary group to apply for leave in order to avoid attracting attention, and then prepared to take the last bus of the afternoon to District 41.
There are three buses a day between District 40 and District 41. The afternoon bus departs at 8:00 PM, but we waited until 8:30 PM and still didn't see a bus.
The bus company's ticket sellers had no choice but to refund the passengers' tickets and announce that the last bus of the day was canceled.
The bus was already half an hour late and hadn't returned, and we couldn't contact the driver.
This has happened before, most likely because the bus broke down halfway through the journey and the driver forgot to charge his watch in time.
Chi Zhengyang, however, did not think this was a coincidence. Since it concerned the safety of the adults, he would not let go of even the slightest suspicion.
He immediately contacted his friends in the mercenary group in District 41, but still couldn't reach them.
At this point, he realized that something big might have happened in District 41.
He immediately reported the matter to Matt, who was also extremely anxious because he couldn't reach the adults. Helpless, he had no choice but to instruct Chi Zhengyang to find an excuse to take his Storm Hunter mercenary group to District 41.
At this moment, Chi Zhengyang didn't bother to consult the management of District 40. He directly led his mercenary group to District 41, using the excuse that a riot had broken out there and that the management needed their help to quell the unrest.
When we arrived at the border between the two areas in the group's large truck, we found that the truck's display panel was malfunctioning and the road ahead was covered by fog.
Some psychic ability users recognized it as a no-fly zone set up by a high-level psychic ability user. It is said that this zone only has the function of isolating electronic devices and has no offensive capabilities, so it consumes less of one's ability.
This means that this no-fly zone can be maintained for at least another day or two.
Chi Zhengyang panicked and ordered his men to unleash their special abilities on the no-fly zone.
Although this is only a drop in the ocean and cannot be of much use, it can still deplete the opponent's supernatural power to some extent.
In fact, if Mortilan Shield were to strike with all its might, it could break through this anti-air zone, but it would consume a great deal of its power.
If other reinforcements fail to arrive in time, without him overseeing the ice wall on the beach, the sea monsters will soon be able to take over Area 41.
Therefore, he chose to fight the sea monsters instead of breaking the ban on air travel.
The eighth-tier land mutant beast was waiting for the sea beasts to crawl all over the streets and alleys of District 41, so that the entire safe zone would be thrown into chaos, and then it could take advantage of the chaos to lead its subordinates in.
The eighth-tier sea beast, unable to breach the ice wall erected by humans on the beach, was also eagerly awaiting their support.
Unfortunately, both sides were destined to be disappointed.
