Chapter 85: The eighth day of the Wild Beast Season
After all, there are a lot of people. Even if the proportion of people with loyalty below 20 is low, there are still thousands of them, and they live in relatively scattered places. It is unlikely to monitor them systematically as before.
Yu Luowei thought about it, but couldn't find a good solution. The patrol team had to join everyone in the city's defense against the beast tide during the day, so she had the other robots strengthen patrols within the city. She also had the intelligent butler monitor the loyalty of the people. If it was high, she wouldn't worry about it. If it was low, she would notify her immediately.
Day eight of the season.
The random beast tide arrived at eight in the morning, but many people got up at seven. After being notified by the drone, they quickly entered combat mode and were not caught off guard.
But today, Yu Luowei's traps came in handy. Among the monsters today were some burrowing rat-like monsters. Some citizens, having just finished cleaning up the mess, glared at the monsters that emerged from the ground upon leaving the base, then promptly drew their weapons and dispatched them—not using skill cards because they feared damaging the city's facilities.
Relatively speaking, there were fewer flying monsters today. In addition, there were still some monsters in the city. Some fell into traps, and some were killed by survivors on the road. The first wave of beasts was quickly repelled.
However, before everyone could pack up and return to the city, the next wave of beasts suddenly appeared, leaving no time for everyone to breathe.
Fortunately, the previous wave was resolved quickly, and the buff of the Tree of Life had not been used yet. Yu Luowei quickly restored everyone's physical and mental strength, and did not stop using his own skill cards, and finally stabilized the situation.
The intensity of this wave of beasts increased significantly. Even with their buffs, many people gradually lost their strength. More and more people in the back row fell, gradually unable to withstand the monsters' attacks. Yu Luowei and the other responsible personnel were unable to handle so many situations at once, and the situation gradually became critical.
It has been the eighth day. Seeing this situation, Yu Luowei did not hesitate at all. He took out the city skill card - Water System that he had been carrying with him these days from his bracelet and used it.
The moment she used it, Yu Luowei felt her mental power rapidly decreasing, and her head gradually became dizzy - she hadn't had this feeling for a long time since her mental power limit exceeded 1000.
At the same time, heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, covering a wide area, covering all places where the citizens of North City were present. However, unlike yesterday, the raindrops immediately absorbed into the bodies of the citizens of North City, including Yu Luowei, the moment they landed on them, healing their minor wounds and boosting their mental strength. Yu Luowei's brain pain only lasted for a second before it was healed, a buff even stronger than the Tree of Life.
The rain wasn't so gentle on the monsters, however. Like sulfuric acid, it attacked their bodies the moment they came into contact. Outside the city walls, numerous monsters melted in the rain with a scream. Even those who managed to survive had lost most of their fighting power.
The citizens who were originally retreating, after feeling such a powerful healing rain, rekindled their fighting spirit and wiped out the remaining monsters in an instant.
The effect was truly worth the points she'd spent. This healing ability could be described as miraculous. Most of the people had been injured by the monsters, but now, they were almost all healed. Only a few serious wounds hadn't fully healed, but they had improved significantly. If they were taken to the hospital in time, they could be cured quickly.
It was only 10:30, and the third wave wouldn't arrive until after sunset, so there was still plenty of time for recuperation. This time, no one stayed outside; everyone went back to make further preparations. The later it got, the stronger the beast tide would become.
Yu Luowei also wanted to leave, but was stopped by a system prompt:
Dear Lord of North City, regarding the points generated by the "Water City Skill Card", you have two options for distribution:
1. All points belong to you;
2. Half of the points belong to you, and the other half are distributed to all citizens according to their contribution ratio in today's two waves of beast tides.
You need to make a choice within five minutes, otherwise all points will be reset to zero.
North City currently has the largest population of any city, and naturally faces the most monsters. This point total is astronomical. A few days ago, Yu Luowei and Ma Tuan combined killed less than one percent of all monsters. As a well-loved and respected city lord, Yu Luowei chose the second option.
The next second, her account was flooded with enough points to buy out all the city skill cards she'd originally owned, instantly becoming a super-rich woman. Without even bothering to return to base, Yu Luowei waved her hand and bought 50 more drones from the points mall, filling up the drone landing area.
Over the past few days, friends, patrolmen, hospital staff, and some logistics personnel have been working very hard. Although points are distributed according to contribution, most of them have not received as many points as the soldiers on the front line. Yu Luowei took advantage of this good mood and gave her friends big red envelopes with points. The staff also gave bonuses, which caused her friends to keep asking her if she had found a bug in the system.
After a rather pleasant afternoon, Yu Luowei was observing the changes in the loyalty of those people when Zhao Linlang's message suddenly appeared:
Zhao Linlang: Weiwei, you remember I got the prediction card before, right? I originally had one chance left, because the system had already predicted the disasters for this season, so I thought I wouldn't have to use it. But just now, I suddenly felt a surge of anxiety and used it.
Zhao Linlang: Then I saw that tonight, behind North City, a powerful boss would appear. My prediction card showed many ordinary citizens being repelled and even losing their lives.
Zhao Linlang: I came to see you right after I put down the prophecy card. Weiwei, should I notify everyone in advance? I'm afraid it might cause panic. But I believe in you. You definitely have a way to defeat this boss.
Yu Luowei was a bit surprised by the sudden news, but she quickly calmed down. She went to the hospital first and asked Zhao Linlang about the specific circumstances of the prophecy. She learned that the boss was at least orange-level and much stronger than before the Wild Beast Season. She also learned the approximate area where it would appear, and that the two areas around the boss were relatively sparsely populated with monsters.
After thanking Zhao Linlang—without her skill card, perhaps only 60,000 would remain out of the 100,000—Yu Luowei contacted Lin Zhixia, Jiang Nian'an, Fang Min, and Lu Zhi. After discussion, they revised everyone's assigned areas, assigning citizens from the original three areas to other areas. Since Luo Wei was in charge of all three areas, Lu Zhi would take over Yu Luowei's remaining area. Jiang Nian'an, who had more ranged attacks, replaced Yu Luowei, controlling the buff from the treetop. She also found some loyal individuals with strong mental strength to temporarily take over her own and the newly purchased drones.
The new strategy caused a commotion after it was posted on the city's internal channel, but without a "traitor", the others trusted the city lord, so they just discussed it for a while and then began to choose the area they would go to.
After a distracted dinner, it was already dark. Before the beast tide arrived, Yu Luowei discussed tactics with the others again. He handed a fire-type city skill card to Jiang Nian'an and told her to use it in the right place.
Lin Zhixia also insisted that her pet, Bang Bang, follow Yu Luowei. Bang Bang was now about the same size as Ma Tuan, and had become a veritable mythical beast, the Black Tortoise. Lin Zhixia said she had made it completely obey Yu Luowei's orders during battle. Like Ma Tuan, it would not hinder Yu Luowei, and its defense was extremely high, meaning that almost no attack could injure it.
Ma Tuan also said that Bang Bang was no weaker than himself, so Yu Luowei had to agree to Lin Zhixia.
After waiting for half an hour, the drone reported that the beast tide had appeared one after another. Yu Luowei also vaguely saw the figures of monsters and bosses on his side.
She released Ma Tuan and Bang Bang to deal with the monsters around - they had already reached the highest level and could easily deal with the monsters, so as to prevent the monsters from attacking her from behind. Yu Luowei took out the modified red-level longbow before the boss came close, and used her most familiar attack method: arrows made by all things to attack.
This time, it was ice arrows and rockets that came in rotation. The boss was still leisurely on his way when he was attacked. He suddenly became angry and ran towards him with a roar.
The roar soared into the sky, and Yu Luowei suspected that the entire North City could hear it, but it didn't contain any mental attack. She didn't dwell on it and quickly fired a few more arrows.
Only after the boss ran in did Yu Luowei get a clear view of the surrounding world - this boss was a fire giant. Yu Luowei's height was the same as her calves, and his body was covered with blazing flames, lighting up the surrounding area.
Most of the monsters at night are undead monsters, which are afraid of fire. There is no way for these monsters to avoid being hurt. Along the way, the giant also took away a lot of monsters.
Since it was a fire-type monster, Yu Luowei switched his attack method. After quickly shooting a few ice arrows at the only eye of the giant that was not covered by flames, he used Ice Prison and Snowflake Bomb, as well as some other red ice and water skill cards.
But Yu Luowei soon discovered that even the red-level skill card was not as effective as her own magic: the ice prison could still stop the giant, but the red water prison could only give the giant a bath.
Although it was strange, now was not the time to think. Since her own magic was more effective, she would use it. In addition to the two skills, Yu Luowei also kept using ice mist and other attack methods, like an emotionless attack machine.
In comparison, the giant's attack was much more monotonous, consisting of only breathing fire, either from its mouth, palms, or, at worst, from its belly. While powerful, it reduced Yu Luowei's orange-level shield, which he had thrown out to divert his attention, to ash, Yu Luowei's speed was remarkable. He nimbly dodged the attack and took the opportunity to leap onto a high platform made of ice, preparing to strike the giant's weak spot: his eyes.
