The roar was deafening, echoing across the sky outside the base city.
The giant monster's heavy footsteps were like muffled thunder, pounding into the hearts of every guard.
Some of the young guards who had never experienced a horde of monsters were pale-faced, their palms were sweaty as they gripped their weapons, and their breathing became heavier as the horde drew nearer.
The veterans' expressions were even more simple and indifferent.
The members of the Guardians and the Fog Bureau's action teams are different.
Some veterans roam the wilderness, clearing away wild beasts or guarding border fortresses.
They've seen too much life and death.
Some were freedom awakeners they had met only once, while others were their comrades.
They already considered themselves as dead.
The day of death, in their hearts, could come at any moment.
And perhaps that day is today.
The horde of monsters approached the city wall of the base city by about one kilometer, and the captains of each guard unit received orders.
They gripped their communicators tightly and yelled at the machine gunners and Soul Crystal Cannon operators, "Attack!"
The machine guns spat out tongues of fire, unleashing a storm of metal.
The Soul Crystal Cannon began to channel energy, and the powerful spiritual energy inside the Soul Crystal was extracted and then condensed into a huge energy sphere.
The ball of light roared out, accompanied by a storm of metal, and landed in the center of the horde of monstrous beasts.
The roar resumed.
Large numbers of monstrous beasts and mutated beings were torn to pieces as the metal storm and energy orbs descended.
However, this massive bloodshed and death still could not stop the scourge beasts and the afflicted.
These monsters moved with frantic steps, disregarding casualties, and quickly approached the city wall.
As the monsters approached, soldiers armed with guns and individual cannons killed them one by one.
Even with a large number of monsters dying, monsters still frantically rushed towards the city walls.
Some monsters, using their powerful jumping ability, leaped into the air, reaching dozens of meters in a single bound, attempting to jump directly onto the city wall.
A monster possesses a brief ability to glide, soaring into the air from a distance and gliding towards the city wall.
Different calamities and diseased beings have different abilities, and the methods for climbing the city walls also vary.
However, in the countless attacks of monstrous beasts throughout history, mankind has long since summarized corresponding countermeasures.
Unless there are too many monstrous beasts and mutated beings, so many that firearms can't keep up.
Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for the monsters and mutated creatures to rush onto the city walls before their ammunition and energy are exhausted.
A roar echoed across the sky and the earth.
The area outside the base city has been turned into a meat grinder.
The Awakened on the city walls and below watched the battle raging between the guards, the monsters, and the infected, and they were somewhat alarmed.
Awakened beings possess immense personal power.
However, I still feel terrified when faced with weapons of war created by human ingenuity.
Only those who reach a high level, or even a saint or demigod, can disregard this level of weaponry.
To put it bluntly, even a mid-level Awakened would not survive in such a meat grinder.
Faced with such a battle, what they need to do is conserve their energy and strength.
Waiting for humanity's war machine to shut down and the weapons of war that protect civilization to become ineffective, these awakened ones will be the last line of defense.
This intense firefight lasted for a full two hours.
Just then, the machine guns and soul crystal cannons on the city wall had already cooled down several times in turn.
After the first machine gun exploded, various other guns and cannons began to malfunction.
With gun malfunctions, the firepower on the city walls began to become insufficient.
Originally, only scattered calamities and infected individuals could break through the fire net, but now, the number of calamities and infected individuals breaking through the fire net is increasing.
These monsters and infected individuals that broke through the firepower network will be targeted and killed.
However, as the number of kills gradually increased, the kill efficiency began to become increasingly inadequate.
Gradually, monstrous beasts and diseased beings began to rush onto the city walls.
The first wolf to charge onto the city wall was a giant blood wolf covered in blood.
This blood wolf had three deformed, ferocious heads and was over three meters tall at the shoulder.
It leaped onto the city wall, and just by standing there, its ferocious aura made the surrounding guards turn pale.
As a calamity beast, the mental pollution it emits is enough to put immense mental pressure on ordinary people, even if they do nothing.
The three ferocious heads roared as it charged toward the nearest guard.
Just then, a cold, sharp sword light flashed past.
A figure landed, and the blood wolf's body had already been cut in two.
Yan Qing was the one who landed.
Yan Qing shook the blood off his hands and said to the still somewhat confused guards, "You retreat. This is no longer your battle."
The guards snapped out of their daze.
They then retreated repeatedly.
As ordinary people, the Guardians clearly understand the gap between themselves and the monsters.
Staying here at this time serves no purpose other than causing trouble.
However, they did not go far away, but instead retreated a distance before stopping.
All the guards drew their weapons and stood ready for battle.
In direct combat, they are no match for the powerful monsters and mutated beings.
However, the weapons they wield can also provide some assistance to the awakened ones.
Seeing signs of the defense line collapsing, Li Yihang, who had been monitoring the situation closely, immediately said, "It's our turn to go in."
Beside Li Yihang, Yan Feng grinned and chuckled, "I've been itching to go on a killing spree for ages!"
