A few days later, the military's laboratory developed the first energy cannon.
Everyone was very excited and transported the energy cannon to the test site.
High-ranking military officials, including Huo Xingchen's maternal grandfather, came to watch the experiment.
After witnessing the power and destructive force of the energy cannon, everyone showed expressions of excitement.
"Great! With these energy cannons, the crisis in the Fourth District should be resolved."
Everyone's been struggling with the beast horde attack lately. If it weren't for the continuous influx of people from the other three districts to support the fourth district, the base's gates would probably have been breached by now.
However, the situation was not optimistic. After this beast tide, they discovered that the mutated beasts, mutated plants, and mutated creatures had evolved again.
Not only did it develop higher intelligence, but it also unleashed many extraordinary abilities, making it highly aggressive and destructive.
Their bodies became increasingly robust under the influence of radiation.
The effects of hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs on these mutated beasts have been greatly reduced.
It will probably be completely useless to them in the future.
If this continues, the base will be vulnerable to being breached and destroyed.
Fortunately, Qingyou developed an energy cannon.
The first energy cannon was successfully tested, and the military immediately dispatched personnel to the Fourth District by ground vehicle as quickly as possible.
One day later, in the fourth district.
On this day, the district chief of the fourth district was directing operations from the city wall in the center of the base.
A high-ranking military superhuman rushed over, looking disheveled and anxious.
"A large number of mutated beasts are attacking the city from the south, and mutated plants are clearing the way."
"They can't hold out over there. The city walls are about to be destroyed by that mutated plant."
The district chief's expression changed. "Send more people over to guard it. If the south is breached, it's very close to the base's living quarters. I don't know how many people will die then."
The high-level ability user said bitterly, "If we mobilize people from other directions to defend, the places they were originally guarding might be captured."
The district chief understood what he meant. "Can our people hold out until reinforcements from the first district arrive? They've already reached the station and are on their way."
The high-level ability user shook his head. "It might not work. It would take them at least half an hour to drive here from the station."
"I estimate that our men can only hold out for another fifteen minutes at most."
The district chief took a deep breath. "Let's go, I'll take some men and we'll guard this place together."
All they hoped for was that the support from the First District would arrive quickly.
Soon, the district chief personally led dozens of superhumans who had been resting to the area.
The beast tide's attack on the city was fierce. The mutated plant swung its vines to slap the city walls, or even pierced through them and whipped them, causing large cracks in the walls.
On the city wall, the superhumans were using various methods to restrain the mutated plants.
Beneath the city walls, many ordinary soldiers equipped with biological weapons were struggling to resist the ever-increasing hordes of mutated beasts.
The district chief led his men and attacked the mutated plant without hesitation.
With their help, the situation improved slightly.
But their expressions quickly changed.
They discovered that a continuous stream of mutated beasts was running towards them from afar, with a towering tree sandwiched between them.
Those guarding the south felt a sense of despair upon seeing this scene. If it weren't for the fact that the people around them hadn't given up, some might have lost their composure and given up the fight.
The district chief was also somewhat desperate at this point. At the speed of these mutated beasts, they should be able to get there before the reinforcements arrive.
With so many mutated beasts coming, they simply can't resist.
He had mentally prepared for the worst, but on the surface he shouted encouragingly, "Everyone, just grit your teeth and hang in there! The support team from the first district will be here soon."
Because the district chief was fighting alongside them, and when they heard him shout like that, most of the people who were about to give up gritted their teeth and continued to persevere.
The number of dead and injured continues to rise.
A few minutes later, the towering tree and the beast tide drew ever closer, and everyone felt like they were about to collapse.
Just then, someone turned and looked at the sky in the direction of the base and asked, "What's that?"
His exclamation made many people turn to look.
Then I saw many black dots in the distance, flying closer and closer.
Someone's expression changed. "Could it be a mutated flying beast?"
These words made everyone even more devastated.
"Our energy shield is intact; the mutated flying beasts couldn't possibly fly in."
Suddenly someone shouted again: "It's not a flying beast, it's a person, a flying person."
The black dots got closer and closer, and everyone could see them clearly.
It really was a group of people flying, with a metal box flying behind them.
Upon seeing this, the district chief couldn't help but shout excitedly, "This is support from the First District! We're saved!"
The others couldn't help but feel a surge of excited hope, exclaiming, "There's hope! We're saved!"
Everyone knows that if that mutated plant brings the beast horde to the city walls, they will be powerless to resist.
While everyone was shouting, reinforcements flew to this side of the city wall.
The district chief recognized the leader. "Captain Wu, you've finally arrived."
Captain Wu was the leader of the team sent to provide support. After arriving at the city wall, he also discovered that the situation here was very serious, almost to the point of life and death.
If they had been a few minutes slower, this place would probably have been breached.
Fortunately, Qingyou managed to get the Gong family to provide them with a batch of flying shoes, which allowed them to arrive at the crucial moment.
But now is not the time for reminiscing. He said, "We're here. Have everyone outside the city retreat to base. We're going to use a new type of weapon."
The district chief asked excitedly, "Has that energy cannon been developed?"
They all watched Qingyou's live stream, and what they were most looking forward to was the energy cannon.
Captain Wu nodded, "That's right. Once the men below have retreated, we'll use the energy cannons."
"I still have a defensive talisman that Qingyou gave me. Throwing it out will temporarily withstand the beast tide's attack for about three minutes. Have everyone retreat during this time."
The district head said, "Okay."
He didn't know anything about defensive talismans, but he had no choice but to trust Captain Wu.
Soon, Captain Wu took out several talismans, activated them, and threw them in several places under the city wall.
Then one by one, light shields appeared beneath the city wall.
Upon seeing this, the district head immediately issued an evacuation order.
Captain Wu used his fingerprint to open the spatial folding box and had someone bring out the energy cannon inside.
Then it was placed in the middle of this city wall.
About three minutes later, when the defensive shield was breached by the beast horde, everyone below retreated back to the base.
Upon seeing this, Captain Wu immediately added a bunch of red alien cores to the energy cannon.
They then aimed the energy cannon at the foot of the city wall and began moving it outwards.
Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted from the energy cannon.
Everyone then saw a crimson beam of light shoot straight out from the energy cannon.
Then it expanded from a continuous stream into a wall of fire, sweeping outwards little by little from the corner.
