Chapter 252 Brothers, let's get rich!
The no-fly zone finally gave way and shattered!
What was exposed to Chi Zhengyang and his mercenary group was a horde of tens of thousands of mutated beasts, and piles of mutated beast corpses under the walls of District 41.
This time, apart from the leader who stayed behind due to illness, all 125 members of the Storm Hunter mercenary group went out together. When they saw the scene in front of them, they all gasped in shock.
Only now did they realize that they had been deceived by the deputy commander; the so-called help to quell the unrest in District 41 was a complete lie.
He brought them here to help District 41 resist the beast tide, but with so many mutated beasts in front of them, their group of just over a hundred people would probably not even make a ripple in this ocean of mutated beasts.
"Do you think you can be safe just by hiding inside the walls of District 40? Don't you understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"
"These damned beasts, once you wipe out District 41, do you think District 40 will still be safe and sound?" Chi Zhengyang understood their thoughts and immediately shouted.
“But even if reinforcements are needed, it should be the management that issues the order, and more mercenary groups from several districts should be sent over. What good are we with such a small number of people?” someone couldn’t help but argue.
In fact, Chi Zhengyang usually takes good care of his mercenaries, and he always rushes to the front when danger comes, so everyone has a good impression of him.
Otherwise, it's impossible that everyone would have followed the leader without even seeing him in person, just based on a reason he gave.
"Don't worry, mercenary groups from other districts will be coming to support us soon. We just went ahead because we're closer," Chi Zhengyang reassured him.
Actually, he was quite unsure himself. He had reported it to Matt, but the adults were trapped in District 41. Without the adults' orders, could Mr. Matt really mobilize more mercenary groups?
Matt naturally didn't have the ability to mobilize more mercenary groups; all he could command were the Hawkeyes left by the Lan Shield family in each district.
However, after receiving Chi Zhengyang's report, he immediately went to the family head. The family head would naturally negotiate with other major families in the central area regarding reinforcements.
At the same time, he immediately contacted Meng Tong, the captain of the guards of the adults who were hunting outside, and ordered him to rush to District 41.
Just as Chi Zhengyang's team members hesitated about whether to retreat, an aircraft descended from the sky, and Meng Tong and twenty guards jumped out of it.
This group of people carried a strong stench of blood, clearly seasoned veterans of many battles.
"Captain Meng, you've finally arrived!" Chi Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Meng Tong.
"Where are my parents?" Meng Tong asked directly. The instruments on his aircraft malfunctioned as soon as they reached the vicinity of District 41.
Helpless, he had no choice but to have the pilot fly the aircraft to the border between Zone 40 and Zone 41. But as soon as they arrived, they discovered that the no-fly zone had been destroyed.
"The adults should still be in District 41, but these damned beasts are all piled up outside the walls. If we take a flying vehicle and enter its airspace, we will definitely be attacked."
"At that time, we'll be in mid-air, making it difficult to defend against attacks from high-level mutated beasts," Chi Zhengyang said.
“Since the lord is inside, they won’t be able to harm him for a while. Why don’t we attack from the outside and attack from within, annihilating them in one fell swoop!” Meng Tong said decisively.
At this moment, everyone noticed that the mutated beasts besieging District 41 were being attacked continuously from within the city. Although both sides should be exhausted, the people within the city were well-rested and ready to fight.
They could take turns guarding the walls, resting and eating in shifts, while the attacking beasts could only devour the corpses of their companions.
Even though they could usually hunt one or two mutated beasts of the same or lower rank, they were all on the same side at this moment. Seeing the corpses of their companions, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the fallen.
Over time, your mental state will gradually collapse.
Don't assume that mutant beasts are incapable of normal emotions because of their low intelligence; they also experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Looking at the mutated beasts outside the wall, Meng Tong rolled up his sleeves and roared, "It's rare to see so many prey come at once! Normally, we'd have to figure out how to lure them out of their dens! Brothers, let's go! Get them!"
After months of grueling training, Meng Tong's level, originally mid-stage of the fifth rank, has reached the peak of the fifth rank. He is just waiting for an opportunity to break through to the sixth rank.
With a roar from Meng Tong, twenty guards rushed into the mutated beast horde. Most of them were fourth-tier, with a few at the peak of the third tier.
Although their superpower levels and combat strengths differ, they share one thing in common: they all exude an aura of "fearlessness."
Inspired by them, Chi Zhengyang's teammates also rushed into the horde of mutated beasts.
They all understood that Deputy Commander Chi was right: once the beast tide wiped out District 41, District 40 would be their next target.
Half of them have family in District 40, and the other half have friends or lovers in District 41. They don't want to lose their relatives and friends in District 41, and they don't want to lose District 40, which they depend on for survival.
"Charge! Wipe out these beasts!" someone shouted.
"Kill them, and the ground will be littered with animal flesh and cores! Brothers, let's get rich!" some people shouted.
A group of over a hundred people charged into the midst of tens of thousands of mutated beasts. It seemed like a small boat had sailed into the ocean, but in reality, these mutated beasts had been attacking all night and were already at their limit.
But these people were full of energy and vitality.
Especially Meng Tong and his group, who exuded a strong stench of blood, which terrified many timid mutated beasts, causing some to turn tail and run away.
Some led the escape, and those who had sustained minor injuries naturally followed behind.
Originally unable to break through, the fourth and fifth-tier mutated beasts inside had lost patience. Now, seeing that the attack formation of the lower-tier mutated beasts was in disarray, and that the eighth-tier mutated beasts that had been controlling and instigating the beast tide with their mental power were also suffering some backlash due to the shattering of the anti-air domain, they could no longer afford to continue controlling them.
Among the dozens of fourth and fifth-tier mutated beasts, some of the smarter ones realized that the situation was hopeless and quietly blended into the fleeing low-tier mutated beasts, running away in a flash.
Once one appeared, another followed suit. Other fourth and fifth-tier monsters also followed suit. Except for a few who were determined to destroy the human safe zone, they remained in place, driving the low-level mutated beasts in their own territories to desperately attack the city.
When the eighth-tier mutated beast's mental energy covered the area, it was discovered that more than half of the high-tier mutated beasts had fled, and at least a third of the low-tier mutated beasts were gone. It was too late to salvage the situation.
It couldn't help but let out a long roar, as if sending a message to its ally—the eighth-tier sea beast—before driving its horde to retreat.
They have no choice but to retreat; they must conserve their strength to prepare for the next beast tide attack on District 41!
The mutated sea beasts had already reached their limit. Upon receiving the signal from their allies to retreat, they gave an order and all the sea beasts dived into the sea. Some of the slower ones could only leave their corpses on the beach.
The victory came unexpectedly. After a half-minute of stunned silence, everyone standing on the ice wall suddenly shouted wildly, "We won! We won!"
People shouted and cheered, embracing their nearest companions tightly, shedding tears of excitement for this hard-won victory.
Mortilan Shield immediately locked his gaze on Zuo Shan. When he saw Balo's strong and powerful hands encircling her frail shoulders, he threw out an ice rainbow, which slid down to her.
This was a technique he created to please his mother, and now he wanted to show it off to her, just like a male peacock wants to display its plumage in front of a female peacock.
