Chapter 87: Wild Beast Season Day 9 (2) Counterattack
By the time the deceased's family members were settled, it was just four in the afternoon. According to the current weather conditions in the game, the sun would normally set around six, and it wouldn't be completely dark until almost eight.
The cries of the families still lingered in Yu Luowei's ears. She simply extorted the two men's address for Black City and teleported there. Black City currently had a population of around 30,000 to 40,000, and 12 of the top 20 in the combat power rankings were from Black City, representing its elite ranks. This firmly secured its second place in the current city rankings. If it weren't for Yu Luowei's "hack," North City wouldn't have surpassed Black City.
Destroying the city wasn't realistic right now. Yu Luowei simply wanted to cause chaos, ideally killing a few of Black City's top fighters. But before leaving, she entered her Fire Wall skill into three blank skill cards and gave them to Lin Zhixia, along with the last Wood City skill card and the Snowflake Bomb skill card. Each of her friends received five cards, just in case she didn't return in time and the others couldn't handle the situation.
Although the coordinates were those of a city, the system couldn't teleport people directly into the city. It usually teleported them to a random location not far from the city walls. This time, Yu Luowei was unlucky; the system teleported him directly to a monster's lair.
Yu Luowei stood firmly and stared at the lion-shaped monster in front of him who looked like his father. Before the monster could react, Yu Luowei fired a flame bomb.
The fire bombs didn't harm the monsters either. After a few minutes of surrounding the house, the monsters completely dissipated. The monsters' aggressiveness also vanished as the flames dissipated. Yu Luowei even saw a hint of friendliness in their eyes.
Not only that, Yu Luowei also discovered that he could hear their voices and even communicate with them. The one at the beginning was indeed the lion father. These monsters, now called small animals, said that after becoming monsters, their bodies were in constant pain. Only killing could alleviate the pain. That's why they were so aggressive. Because of this, they regarded Yu Luowei as their benefactor.
These points matched up with what the little foxes and kittens had said during the Liesha season. But Yu Luowei wasn't just chatting away and forgetting about the real business. When she heard the lion father say that he was once an orange-level monster, able to summon nearby animals and the highest orange-level monsters, her eyes flashed and a plan came to her mind.
After resting for a while, they found the entrance to the Black City. When the sun set, Yu Luowei asked Lion Dad to summon a large number of monsters and animals, the kind that had done many evil things and had strong combat power, and then led them to launch a general attack on the Black City.
Yu Luowei deliberately put on bear skin equipment to disguise himself. Now, from a distance, he looked like a big brown bear. Yu Luowei secretly fired several ice bombs and fire bombs at the walls of the Black City.
The Black City was quite confident in its own attack power, and the city walls had not been upgraded much. Yu Luowei's few attacks made a big hole in it.
Just as the citizens of Black City were startled and rushed out to fight, Yu Luowei heard a huge noise coming from behind - alas, what a coincidence, the beast tide of Black City also arrived at this time.
Maybe being teleported to the monster's nest just now used up her bad luck, Yu Luowei is very happy now: she can finally get revenge.
Among the monsters summoned by Father Lion, there were several orange-level monsters that could be called mini-bosses. Yu Luowei took advantage of the chaos and ran to one of them. Using its cover, he sent out a wall of fire. He then ran to another and sent out several snow bombs.
I just asked the little animals summoned by Father Lion. Black City currently only has two lookout towers, so almost everyone is attacking from outside the city walls. This also means that the reinforcements the citizens will bring in later—those top Black City fighters—are likely stationed outside the city walls as well.
Yu Luowei increased the frequency of attacks, and with the help of Lion Dad, the number of monsters today was much greater than before. Soon, there were five or six characters in front of the Black City who looked very difficult to deal with, and other citizens quickly made way for them.
Survival games don't have a photo system, and Yu Luowei couldn't tell who was who, so he decided to deal with them all together. As the monster group slowly advanced, Yu Luowei gradually saw the faces of these people clearly.
They seemed unconcerned about the beast tide before them, still chatting and laughing. Seeing the beast tide approaching, one of the men casually threw out a skill card, and soon, several thunderbolts roared over the area in front.
Yu Luowei also had an extra invalid card in her hand. This was also the one she had opened when she opened hundreds of treasure chests. Because it was useless against monsters, she had kept it until now. Before the thunder even struck, the invalid card dissipated all the dark clouds and lightning in the sky.
At first, those people didn't take it seriously and continued to throw invalid cards, but Yu Luowei dispelled each one as it came. She had plenty of these cards anyway, just fewer orange and red ones, but the opponent also had fewer cards of that level. Soon, the relief on those people's faces turned into shock.
At this time, the beast tide was approaching Black City as never before, and many people on the outskirts had already died at the hands of the monsters. These people also took it seriously, took out their weapons and prepared to join the battle.
Yu Luowei walked up to one of them first, wanting to quickly finish him off. But he was still a Level 7 survivor, much stronger than Jin Yu and the others before him. The attack missed, only piercing the equipment on his right hand.
With agility beyond that of a bear, he dodged several of the opponent's attacks and confirmed some of his attributes. It had to be said that this level 7 survivor was truly skilled. The greatsword wielded with ferocious force, imbued with various elements, he had successfully taken down a true orange boss. However, his attributes were far inferior to hers. Not to mention her mutated dual-element magic, even with the same skill cards, Yu Luowei could still defeat him, though it would take some time.
Now that she had magic, Yu Luowei didn't waste any more time. She locked onto the opponent with Ice Prison and killed him with an upgraded Lion Soul Flame Slash. Yu Luowei could now adjust the shape of the flames in her skills. To avoid being exposed too early, she specially adjusted it to Bear Marriage Flame Slash.
Some of the others were trembling with the smaller bosses, while others were trying to put out the fire—a wall of fire was gradually encircling Black City. Yu Luowei once again slipped into the group of bosses, unleashing a few skills while taking advantage of the situation before using the same Ice Prison and Bear Soul Flame Slash to take them out. Having previously used the Snowflake Bomb during the North City attack, Yu Luowei opted against it this time, opting instead for a different skill card to dispatch the remaining two Black City high-ranking personnel.
Even now, the wall of fire hadn't been successfully extinguished. Seven high-ranking members had perished, leaving more than half the beast tide still standing. However, none of these seven were as strong as imagined, and Hood certainly wasn't among them. As the second-strongest player, and having inherited some of the attributes and skill cards from others, Hood certainly wasn't that weak. Having achieved his goal of disrupting the situation, Yu Luowei took advantage of the chaos to teleport back.
At this time, Lin Zhixia had used up all the fire walls and city skill cards. He led the citizens of North City to eliminate most of the third wave of beasts and was fighting hard with the last few red-level monsters.
Yu Luowei was about to join in when he suddenly saw the Obliterate Skill Cards he had obtained long ago on his bracelet. However, they had limited attack power against red-level monsters and were completely useless against red bosses. But what Yu Luowei lacked the most was item upgrade cards.
I tried to upgrade the Elimination Card and used it on the monsters outside. Although I failed to eliminate them all, I made a few of them disappear directly. The rest were also severely damaged and could not attack or even move.
The citizens who were suppressed by the monsters' firepower took this opportunity to rush forward, destroy the monsters and resolve the black tide.
As the monsters' corpses gradually disappeared, everyone's hearts were finally put back at ease: this thrilling season is finally over.
While collecting today's ranking rewards and enjoying a midnight snack, everyone felt a rare sense of relaxation.
Killing survivors does not allow you to obtain their bracelets or supplies in the base, but you can gain a certain amount of points, which will be distributed in a certain proportion according to the amount of deposits of the deceased.
Yu Luowei gave part of the points to the families of the deceased in Beicheng, including not only the gray-haired elderly, but also their wives and children. Yu Luowei also comforted them to live well.
Because there are too many people in the world channel and the news is refreshed too quickly, Yu Luowei usually doesn't actively open it to read. At most, he will watch the broadcasts of other people in the channel, such as now:
[Mo Ye: Did you guys check the World Channel? That Black City, the old second-in-command who's been following us, said he wanted to complain to the system. The last wave of beasts was too strong, and they lost seven level 7 survivors in one go.]
Lei Liang: I see, I see! They were the ones who attacked us earlier, right? Haha, evil always pays off. But, they won't suspect us, will they?
Liu Ke: Haha, as the old saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong during the day, you won't be afraid of someone knocking on your door at night. If they dare to doubt us, it can only mean that they themselves feel guilty about attacking us.
Keqiao: Exactly! We haven't had anyone die in Beicheng for such a long time. If it weren't for them, Grandma Lu (a relative of one of the deceased) wouldn't have to be so heartbroken. In my opinion, Heicheng deserves it!
Li Ming: But do you think it's really a bug? The game has been around for so long and it seems like there haven't been any bugs. No, it really was our city lord who did it, right?
As soon as these words were spoken, the channel suddenly became quiet for a few seconds, and the others quickly changed the subject as if they had been trained.
This person was quite perceptive, and the other citizens were also smart. It was no wonder that everyone's loyalty had increased after the two-day battle. Yu Luowei didn't post anything in the channel, but simply experimented with another new feature in the game—the lucky red envelope—before closing the channel.
