Chapter 21: Both Walls Are Under Attack At The Same Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment they stepped out of the entrance of the Germinal Organization’s base, they were greeted by a dilapidated scene.
East Lake City used to be an extremely famous tourist city in the country. Now, it was only one of the many ruined cities in the world.
If not for the door of light that led to the mysterious realm appearing here, even the Germinal Organization would not have entered East Lake City.
“This seems to be the first time I’ve walked out of the Germinal Organization’s base and witnessed this abandoned world.”
Lin Xuan sighed.!!
In his previous life, he had lived in a thriving peaceful country. It was very difficult for him to imagine such a scene.
There was a bus that collapsed on the road, covered in vines.
The tall buildings were mottled and the glass shattered.
A large group of refugees gathered outside the Germinal Organization base, built shacks, and struggled to live.
Every day, wasteland reclaimers would die and refugees would be chosen to join the Germinal Organization and take their place.
Seeing another group of wasteland reclaimers walk out, the refugees thought that they were here to sign more slavery contracts. They used all their strength to shout, “choose me, choose me!”
Most of East Lake City had already been abandoned. This so-called “eastern wall” was actually built 5,000 meters away from the Germinal Organization base. It was the first line of defense to stop the demon beasts.
Soon, everyone arrived. Lin Xuan saw the eight-meter-tall city wall and the machine gun towers, fire-breathing towers, and cannon towers standing on the wall. There were also many iron wires and bloody and rotten demon beast corpses under the city wall.
These defensive towers did not need to be manually controlled. Any demon that appeared in the attack range would be killed automatically.
As for the items that fell after killing the demon beasts, they would be picked up and handed over by the wasteland reclaimers guarding the city wall.
As far as Lin Xuan could remember, East Lake City had only experienced this once. In other words, this was the first time the demon horde had appeared ever since that time.
Therefore, guarding the four walls of the city had always been an idle job. The wasteland reclaimers from the four districts took turns to draw lots. However, Lin Xuan’s luck was bad and he had never drawn the lucky lot to guard the wall.
A refined middle-aged man stood on a high ground and said loudly, “Everyone, I’m Manager Number Two of the Germinal Organization and the commander of this defensive operation.”
“Manager Number One has already investigated. The total number of demon beasts attacking the east wall of East Lake City this time is about 50,000. There are 40,000 Zero Realm demon beasts, 8,000 First Realm demon beasts, 2,000 Second Realm demon beasts, and more than 50 Third Realm demon beasts.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the wasteland reclaimers changed.
Fifty thousand demon beasts? So many?
Moreover, there were even Third Realm demon beasts!
Manager Number Two pressed his hands together. “Don’t worry. With the overseers holding the fort, the demon beasts won’t break through the city wall. All you have to do is stand on the city wall and use your long-range skills to attack these demon beasts.”
“Manager Number One also provided additional information. These demons are all from Drowning City, so I recommend you use fire and lightning-type skills.”
Lin Xuan was deep in thought.
He had heard of Drowning City. He had heard that it was one of the few most dangerous and chaotic mystic realms in the world.
It was located in the ocean, and the demon beasts inside were mostly the type that could move freely in the water.
Many factions had previously thought of conquering Drowning City, but most of them had returned empty-handed.
The name Drowning City was brought out by a team that had successfully attacked the mystic realm and escaped unscathed.
They said that place was depressing and terrifying like a city that had been drowned.
In addition, he also had some guesses about Manager Number One.
Manager Number One rarely appeared, but he could easily find information on demon beasts dozens of kilometers away.
Could it be that he had a long-range detection skill?
“Get ready to stop the demon beasts.” Manager Number Two waved his hand and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the desolate horizon in the distance.
Sun Zhiguo leaned over to Lin Xuan. “If there’s any danger later, hide behind me. I don’t have much ability, but I have high resistance.”
Lin Xuan’s heart warmed.
Ever since he saved this Brother Sun, he had always been grateful and was determined to repay this favor.
However, did he really have high resistance?
Lin Xuan chuckled in his heart. There was no martial artist at the same level who could beat him in resistance.
Several hours passed. Lin Xuan suddenly felt the ground tremble. He immediately perked up and stared at the horizon.
The many wasteland reclaimers were originally very talkative, but now, they were getting nervous.
Everyone knew that the demon beasts had arrived!
A blue, thick, squirming line suddenly appeared on the horizon and quickly approached as time passed.
On careful look, those were not thick lines at all. They were clearly a large group of blue-skinned demon beasts!
There were fish demon beasts with fish heads and human bodies, prawns with human bodies, huge turtles more than three meters tall, and octopus demon beasts on the turtle’s back.
All kinds of demon beasts entered their sight. Their ferocious aura made people tremble.
The turret with the farthest attack range detected the approach of the demon and attacked first.
Bang!
A cannonball landed on the turtle’s back but was sent flying far away by the turtle shell.
“What a powerful defense!” Sun Zhiguo exclaimed.
“Begin!” District C Overseer Lu Luo shouted.
All the wasteland reclaimers in District C hurriedly threw out their long-range skills. Those who did not have long-range skills could only pick up the machine guns on the city wall and shoot at the demon beasts.
However, the outer skin of these demon beasts was very tough. It was very difficult to penetrate the outer skin with just this kind of kinetic weapon.
It was best to use flames to deal with demon beasts from Drowning City.
Lin Xuan had a long range skill. Inner Fireball.
He casually threw out a small fireball.
The fireball landed on the head of a fish demon beast, burning it until it cried out and its head was immediately charred.
Seeing this, Sun Zhiguo and the other wasteland reclaimers immediately used their long-range skills on the fish demon beasts and quickly killed them.
“I didn’t expect you to have fire skills. Good!” Sun Zhiguo laughed happily.
The battle had reached its climax from the beginning.
The demon beasts pounced over fearlessly, as if it hated everything in East Lake City.
If not for the city wall and the advantage of the high ground attack, many of the wasteland reclaimers would have died.
Lin Xuan was now slacking off. He still had Weaken on him, and his attributes had been weakened by a lot. Even so, he was still a First Realm martial artist on the surface. With a few fireballs, he could still kill a Zero Realm demon beast.
If there are no accidents, then I’ll just have to slack off. Just as this thought appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind, the radio beside him suddenly sounded.
“The western city wall has been attacked by demon beasts! There are more than 100,000 demon beasts, and the highest is a Seventh Realm demon beast! Manager Number Two and all the overseers on the eastern city wall, please proceed to the western city wall!”
Manager Number One’s voice immediately sounded.
His voice was still as magnetic and deep as before.
However, Lin Xuan could tell that Manager Number One’s tone had lost its calmness from last time.
Manager Number Two’s expression changed slightly and he immediately ran towards the west wall.
Lu Luo and the other overseers immediately followed.
Only the wasteland reclaimers were left on the east wall.
“Damn… I didn’t expect these demon beasts to be so strategic!”
“The overseers all left, but there are still many Third Realm demon beasts here. Can we guard them?” Sun Zhiguo was worried.
Lin Xuan also sighed. He knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly.
