Chapter 157 Shock
The live broadcast could not be replayed, so this comment appeared briefly for a few seconds before being quickly deleted and left unnoticed.
There was war raging all around, and other citizens were evacuating to the safe zone in panic. Only Lu Yan and Feng Xiangming stood outside. The two conspicuous people huddled together and whispered to each other, and no one knew what they were saying. They shook their heads and sighed, just like the old men chatting at the village entrance.
"Hey! What are you two idiots doing standing down there? Don't you think the situation is chaotic enough? When the wanderers come, they will eat you up first! Get back to the safe zone as soon as possible!!"
The patrol captain standing on the high ground roared in anger, veins popping out on his neck, and he wanted to shoot them directly with his gun. Lu Yan and Feng Xiangming were stunned when they heard this, and then they quickly stepped back two steps and stood within the cordon of the safety zone. However, in less than ten seconds, they were pushed out by the crowded crowd inside.
Lu Yan staggered two steps and managed to stand firm, while Feng Xiangming fell directly to the ground.
The TV station's live broadcast just happened to record this scene, and netizens almost burst into tears when they saw it: [Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! Where did these two conspicuous bags come from!!]
Among the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, half were laughing, while the other half remained silent, staring at the screen in deep thought. They felt that the black figure looked familiar, but were not quite sure, so they could only wait and see.
The safety zone was limited in scope, and there were too many residents near Yunduan Road. They were afraid that they would be eaten by vagrants if they fell behind, so they rushed in one after another. No matter how the patrol team fired warning shots, it was useless, and many old, weak, and disabled people were still squeezed out.
Lu Yan and Feng Xiangming, two old, weak and disabled men, could not squeeze in and could only stand outside in a daze. Seeing this, the patrol captain directly climbed down from the temporary defense wall and kicked each of the strongest men who were fighting for the most power inside:
"Fuck you! All the men, get out of here! Let the old people and children go in first. If anyone tries to get in, I'll blow his head off!"
Seeing the black gun barrels pointed at them, the young men had no choice but to retreat one by one, and the originally crowded safe zone was instantly mostly empty.
The patrol captain grabbed a quartermaster and asked, "How many guns and ammunition are left? Is it enough to give each of them a gun?"
The quartermaster quickly counted the ammunition boxes: "Report! Enough!"
Sky City has a lot of military supplies, but it lacks manpower, psychics, and defense teams. One team guarding the main entrance of the ladder has alleviated the pressure, but the left and right sides are about to be breached by the wanderers.
The patrol captain was a young man with a stern face and eagle-like eyes. He stared at the group of tall and strong men in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully. The Wanderers are about to break through the Sky City. When the time comes, we will all die together. Those of you who can shoot and have arms and legs, take up your guns and kill the Wanderers! Killing one will be a burden, killing two will be a profit. You must defend the east side for me. Do you understand?!"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was anxious: "Hey! Why do you let us go up? We can't kill monsters!"
The patrol captain pointed down and roared angrily: "If you don't want to be killed, get out of the safe zone! Anyone who dares not to go up, get out now!"
Standing in the safe zone, at least there are patrol teams and psychics in front of them. If they go down, they will really be dead. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to get out. In the end, a few college students gritted their teeth and took the initiative to stand up:
"We all know how to use guns. We're going to die if we stay here anyway, so we might as well go up and give it a try!"
With them taking the lead, many people started to speak out:
"I can use a gun, too! I'm with you!"
"Let's fight! Kill all those wanderers!"
Finally, even Feng Xiangming raised his hand: "I can use a gun too!!"
Lu Yan turned his head in bewilderment: "How come you all know how to use guns?!"
Feng Xiangming was puzzled and asked, "Who in Sky City doesn't know how to use a gun? Almost everyone has one. Don't you know how to use a gun? It doesn't matter. You won't be able to use it anyway. Just come up with us later."
Unlike the slums in Devil City, those who can live in Cloud Road and Sky City are all wealthy. As long as they have some channels, they will find a way to get some guns and store them at home. After all, except for those with special abilities, guns and heavy weapons are the only way for ordinary people to deal with vagrants.
The patrol captain ordered the soldiers guarding the ammunition to quickly distribute guns and ammunition to everyone, and led them to the top of the stairs in a hurry. Turning around, he saw Lu Yan in the crowd with empty hands, and pulled him out directly. He was on the verge of exploding: "Where is your gun?! Didn't I tell everyone to be equipped with a gun?! You ignored my words, didn't you?!"
Lu Yan raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "I don't know how to use a gun."
The patrol captain pulled out a gun from his waist and roughly stuffed it into his hand: "If he doesn't know how to use it, then teach me. It's useless to be tall and strong. You can't even use a gun. Come here! Teach him!"
The college students who were called out were startled when they heard this. They quickly pulled Lu Yan over and urged him in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, go up and we will teach you how to fight. It's very simple!"
Now the wanderers are densely gathered in the sky. You don't even need to practice your aim. You can shoot down a lot of them with your eyes closed.
While climbing up the defense wall with them, Lu Yan understood the situation during the conversation. There were three entrances to the ladder, one in the middle and one on each side. Now the team led by Xing Yuan was guarding the middle where the attack was the most intense, and the rest of the teams were assisting from the side. The remaining left and right sides were handed over to the patrol team and the military.
The loud patrol captain just now is called Chen Yan. He is responsible for guarding the right side, but because his team suffered heavy casualties, he is now unable to hold on.
The defense wall was several hundred meters high. People who were afraid of heights would feel dizzy when standing on it. The wanderers gathered densely above their heads and swooped down from time to time to devour living people, chewing their brains to burst in the blink of an eye. The air was filled with a strong fishy smell that made people dizzy.
There were rumbles of thunder in the sky. It should be Xing Yuan who was using his supernatural powers to kill the enemies. However, since we were too far away, we couldn't see the situation clearly. It just seemed like a huge battle.
The college students stood behind the defense wall with pale faces, obviously terrified. They quickly demonstrated to Lu Yan how to load bullets and pull the trigger. Their voices trembled: "Just aim at the sky and pull the trigger directly. Don't aim at the crowd. After firing, reload the bullet..."
Before they could finish their words, Feng Xiangming beside them interrupted anxiously: "Oh, don't worry about him, come over here to support us, we really can't hold on any longer!"
The director repeatedly emphasized on the intercom that the entrance must be guarded. Patrol Captain Chen Yan even climbed over the defense wall himself to kill the wanderers. There was continuous fire from the defense wall, and the sound of gunfire was so dense that it almost pierced the eardrums.
The deputy commander saw the group of wanderers coming closer and closer, and he almost smashed the wall in panic, shouting: "Chen Yan! What's wrong with you! The A corner is about to collapse! Hurry up and hold it!"
Chen Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and veins popped out on his forehead: "More than half of my brothers are dead! How can we defend?! Hurry up and get the superpower team over, otherwise we really won't be able to defend!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander looked towards the front entrance of the Sky Stage, only to see a fierce battle going on there. He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If he could mobilize the special power team, he would of course do so. The problem was that most of the special power users were in a damaged state, and there were simply not many who could be pulled out to serve!
"Hold on for another half an hour! Once Team Ten recovers, I'll let them take over!"
Lu Yan had been secretly concentrating on summoning lightning since he climbed up the defense wall. However, for some reason, it seemed as if an invisible force in the air was frantically absorbing the lightning elements of nature and was competing with him in the dark.
Lu Yan frowned, his face solemn. He knew without a doubt that it was Xing Yuan. The opponent was a lightning-type psychic like himself. Because his level was too high, when he charged up his ultimate move, he directly absorbed all the lightning elements nearby.
This is terrible, is this the legendary saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain? !
Lu Yan directly called out the system: "Is there any way to transfer the lightning elements in other areas? I can't use group killing skills now!"
The ability of a psychic is to mobilize the elements of nature for their own use. To put it simply, it is to borrow power from heaven. Lu Yan could indeed compete with Xing Yuan, but that would undoubtedly affect the battle situation on the other side. He thought about it for a moment and gave up.
I don't know if it's because the situation is urgent, but the system's words are quite crisp and clear: [Redeem a teleportation card, which can teleport lightning elements from other areas to here, 300 points! ]
Lu Yan couldn't help but curse: "Fuck, it's already this hour and you're still robbing!"
The system slowly asked: [So do you want it or not? ]
Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense, of course I want it!"
If we don’t let the wanderers come again, they will really break in and we will have no choice!
The moment Lu Yan chose to redeem it, a black hole card suddenly appeared in the air that only he could see. Countless lightning elements were continuously transported from it, finally alleviating the depletion of lightning elements in the sky.
The power has a distance limit, the closer to the target, the greater the power.
Seeing that Chen Yan was about to collapse, Lu Yan quickly jumped down from the defense wall to help. Everyone else was retreating in panic, but he rushed forward. His black figure swiftly passed through the hail of bullets, standing out particularly.
Chen Yan's face changed when he saw this. He asked the group of rookies to go up just to give them a temporary push, but he didn't really intend to let them come over to die. He shouted at Lu Yan: "Get back quickly! Who told you to rush in here? Are you tired of living?!!"
"Hurry, hurry, cut the camera!"
The reporter who was broadcasting live had his eyes light up when he saw this. He had sensed some news material and quickly signaled the cameraman to switch the camera. At that moment, he even thought of the title for tomorrow -
"Ordinary people sacrificed themselves heroically to defend Sky City, and the patrol captain shed tears on the battlefield"
It’s a bit vulgar, but isn’t it positive energy?
However, when the cameraman cut the camera over, the expected bloody scene did not appear. The man in black jumped up to a high place, and countless wanderers swooped down on him. Just as Chen Yan was about to rush up and kick this ignorant guy down, a dull and deafening thunder suddenly sounded above everyone's head:
“Boom——!”
The sound was not harsh, but it made people feel inexplicably panicked. They saw lightning streaking through the thick clouds, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The densely packed group of wanderers who were swooping down were instantly struck to ashes by the dense lightning, and screams of pain rang out one after another.
Lu Yan stood on the high ground without dodging or evading, the corners of his clothes rustling in the wind, and his tall and slender figure was like a sharp sword against the chaotic background. He quickly turned his hands and formed seals, and countless lightning elements appeared around him, flashing light blue like fireflies, and then were forcibly gathered together by an invisible force, forming a vast electric grid, strangling all the wanderers who attacked like waves from afar.
Dark clouds rolled in, and a red sun hung in the sky. As time passed quietly, all the buildings turned into black silhouettes. Those wanderers fell like crows with broken wings, but they exploded into dust before they touched the ground.
The thunder was deep and powerful, like the angry roar of a god, as if it was going to awaken something that had been sleeping for a long time.
The surroundings were silent. At that moment, all the roars and curses fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
Chen Yan was about to charge forward when he froze in place. He looked stunned. He had never expected that Lu Yan actually possessed such a powerful ability. He easily defeated the wanderer that they had tried their best to resist. The reporter nearby was also dumbfounded. He couldn't help but open his mouth and uttered in shock:
"It turns out to be a lightning-type mutant..."
Such a terrifying level, how strong is it? ! !
On the other side, a team of superpowers was doing their best to resist the group of wanderers at the front entrance. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Xing Yuan's sharp eyes turned a terrifying scarlet due to the stimulation. In a place that others could not see, a tall shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and from a distance it looked like the god of death holding a sickle.
Xing Yuan had a gloomy expression, and his slender and bony hands quickly formed seals. He controlled the lightning within a ten-mile radius, striking the wanderers, sending them fleeing in all directions with screams of pain and despair.
The remaining wanderers retreated in panic, not because they were afraid of the manic power around him, but because of the shadow behind him that was big enough to block out the sky and the sun, emitting absolute oppression, like lowly people meeting a king who made them bow down to him.
The number one strong man in Sky City has such terrifying strength.
Luo Yang is a psychic, and he and Yan Feng, who is a fire-type psychic, assisted Xing Yuan. Together with the cooperation of the rest of the team members, they resolved the current crisis in less than an hour.
Luo Yang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He watched those wanderers retreat like a tide, and finally he exhaled slowly. Then he touched Xing Yuan with his arm and said with a smile: "Finally solved, it was our team that had to do it ourselves. The thunder system is indeed invincible in killing power. Xing Yuan, your skills have improved this time..."
Luo Yang's expression suddenly changed before he finished speaking, because Xing Yuan had already stopped the attack, but the dull thunder in his ears had not stopped. All the superpowers realized that something was wrong, and looked to the right, but saw a slender black figure standing in front of the defense wall, with his hands forming seals to summon thunder, and lightning and thunder were all around, and the power was faintly three times stronger than Xing Yuan's, and the pupils shrank in shock -
When did another lightning-type mutant appear in Sky City? ! !
When Xing Yuan saw this scene, his cold eyes slowly narrowed, and he was also unable to hide his shock.
