Chapter 74 The Final Beast Tide (End)
The late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei, with tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of vehicles, seized Jiangling and marched fifteen miles a day.
The reason is not just "love the people".
The more important reason is that the walls of Jiangling are high and the city is thick, and the First Lord’s army is still strong.
With these tens of thousands of civilians and ten thousand elite soldiers working together to defend the city, it will be easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Naturally, Cao Cao knew this, and it was too late to send ordinary regular troops who could march thirty miles a day, so he personally drove five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, day and night, marching three hundred miles straight, with Changban and Liu Bei's troops surrounding "one hundred thousand people" "An encounter began.
However, due to Liu Bei's strategic misjudgment, Guan Yu led his remaining 10,000 elite troops by water, leaving him with less than one battalion. Turning the victory that should have been waiting for work into a defeat. When the queen was cut off, Zhang Fei could only be left with a few dozen people...
For this reason, Cao Cao stood in front of the broken bridge and did not dare to order the pursuit of Zhang Fei, who was moaning behind the bridge.
As soon as he came, he knew that Liu Bei's army had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he was still missing.
Secondly, he came to seize Jiangling. The tiger and leopard cavalry traveled continuously for a day and a night. They were tired and lacked horses, so they had no choice but to pursue them.
Third, hundreds of thousands of people have also arrived...
Therefore, the importance of "population" can be seen from history.
If there are people, there is hope.
Today, nearly two thousand years later, in the Magic City, the largest city in human history, the population has become a useless unit.
In front of the city wall, warriors, troops, and hot weapons were rolling in, one after another.
But the people behind the city wall can only watch the live broadcast on the intranet, fearing the boundless and endless tide of beasts...
【……】
【……】
【……】
On a certain live broadcast platform, there are very few barrages above the video.
This is the first time people have witnessed the horror of the beast tide with their own eyes.
That kind of quantity, that kind of shape, that kind of desire to attack, that kind of fast and slow knives... there is no trace of the grandeur and freehand brushwork in cultural works.
Some are just despair and silence falling into the abyss.
"Humanity is completely hopeless."
This thought echoed in everyone's mind almost at the same time.
[No wonder the government never releases videos related to the beast tide. 】
[It’s public. Humanity has long since disintegrated. 】
[Liangliang, bye. 】
[Why can’t even nuclear bombs kill high-level alien beasts? 】
[Advanced alien beasts have the ability to control space and can insulate themselves from temperature. 】
[So no city can resist the beast tide...]
[How did you survive the last two times in Magic City? 】
【8888888……】
[The first two beast tides were just normal-scale beast tides. And there is also a level 9 powerful shot. 】
[It should be useless to take action this time. The tide of beasts seen now is less than one percent of the total number...]
[My son can’t speak yet. 】
【Does anyone have a good time before death? Baishan Mansion, No. 31 Jiangnan Road...]
As people slowly calm down, barrages on major live broadcast platforms are also slowly recovering.
Everyone vented all kinds of opinions in a destructive manner, uncontrolled and unrestrained. The curse words and the noise on each page seem to be the fall of a civilized soul, corresponding to the mutilation of civilized limbs.
The confrontation, almost instantly, reached a fever pitch.
Martial arts, martial arts, forbidden arts...
Bombers, fighter jets, main battle tanks, individual nuclear bombs...
Human civilization tried its best to save everything, and finally defeated the first wave of this beast wave's offensive just before the sky became completely bright.
And when it gets bright, the extended field of view allows everyone to see clearly the more "majestic" black fog in the distance.
At the same time, the satellite images hanging in the upper right corners of major video platforms remind everyone all the time that only one-fifth of the beasts attacking from the southwest have been eliminated.
"Second medium and long-range strike, start."
In the command post, the old director gave the order expressionlessly.
then.
Deafening explosions occurred one after another.
"Roar--"
But the next moment, there was also a beast roar that exploded the sky...
"Sir, the level 9 alien beast is coming." The deputy sitting aside, monitoring the real-time battle situation, broke into a cold sweat and reported in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry about it." The old director's voice was calm: "Someone will stop me."
…
"Roar, rumble, rumble—"
The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Even without the need for cameras to be broadcast by numerous media and platforms, tens of millions of people in the city saw the black shadow rising into the sky.
It's a python!
The python is more than two hundred meters wide and its length penetrates the clouds.
The huge snake head was like a full moon magnified a hundred times, covering the sky and the earth, shrouding the Demon City in a disk-shaped shadow.
"This is really not something that humans can contend with..."
On the city wall, most of the tens of thousands of warriors had forgotten their fatigue. They raised their blood-stained faces and looked up at the giant thing hanging in the sky, their thoughts dull.
"Whoosh——"
At this moment, white light flashed.
It shot through the sky like a meteor and stopped right in front of the level 9 alien beast - the python.
That one in white.
Long hair.
The elegant and agile aura showed her identity.
——Mikami Yu.
The only level 9 powerhouse in human civilization currently.
Combat ceiling.
Standing in mid-air, Mikami Yuu quietly observed the giant thing in front of him, judging the gap in combat power between the two sides.
Soon, the conclusion was reached.
She is far from the level 9 opponent in front of her.
"Perhaps only Li Chinghai can handle this level 9."
With this thought, Mikami Yuu immediately decided to lure the python away to make room for the main battlefield.
"Snapped!"
Hands together.
The crisp slapping sound was particularly clear on the noisy battlefield.
"Martial arts - instantaneous."
"Click..."
The python noticed the time difference between its upper and lower parts and changed. Suddenly, a roar echoed through the sky, turning into a bolt of lightning and rushing towards Mikami Yu.
It is so flexible that it can surpass the sound barrier at a speed that contrasts with its huge body, forming a strange contrast.
Seeing that the opponent had taken the bait, Mikami Yuu didn't hesitate. He turned around and gestured in the direction of the city wall, then gathered his energy, aimed at the sea on the left, and accelerated away.
Within the headquarters.
The old director understood the meaning of Yu Mikami's gesture, nodded, and ordered: "Continue medium and long-range fire strikes. Reduce the number of alien beasts. Ensure the rest time for the warriors."
"yes."
that's all.
Accompanied by roaring artillery bombardments and nuclear bombs washing the ground...
Accompanied by the smell of engine oil, gunpowder, and burnt protein...
Gu Zi
The herd of beasts, with no end in sight, once again arrived one kilometer away from the city wall of the Magic City.
"kill!"
A level 8 warrior who was commanded on the spot dragged his severed arm, brandished his sword, and led the charge. Along with countless compatriots made of flesh and blood, they were annihilated in the mountain of blood and corpses of the alien beasts.
"Report! Due south, the number 03 beast tide has arrived."
"Report! Sir! From the northwest, two beast tides No. 12 and No. 13 are approaching the battlefield."
"Report! A level 9 alien beast that was originally wrapped in the tide of beasts numbered 07 accelerated alone and rushed into the battlefield."
"Report..."
"Sir, please report..."
The sky was getting darker with dark clouds.
The ground shook continuously, shaking everyone's thinking to numbness.
The old director stood upright in the command post, scanning the "death" announcements one after another, and could no longer keep his face calm.
he knows.
The end of civilization is coming.
And it came faster than expected.
"Let's initiate the final plan."
After a long silence, the old director adjusted his combat uniform, gave the last order, and walked out of the command post with his head held high.
"Crack."
"Crack-"
With heavy steps, he walked out of the door and narrowed his eyes.
The fishy wind blowing towards him made the old director's heart become even colder: "Are you ready?"
Outside the door, thirteen people were waiting.
They are all the level 8 warriors prepared by the Demon City.
Even the principal was prominently included.
"Everything is ready." The principal leaned against the door frame and looked at the level 9 giant ape rushing outside the city wall: "Have you finished the arrangements?"
"Um."
He nodded without speaking. The old director used his strength, stepped out of thin air, and walked forward: "This ape... I have seen it several times. It seems to have the deepest hatred for humans."
"That's why I was able to break away from the original beast tide and kill myself alone." The principal wanted to laugh. But there was no laughter.
Stop.
The old director turned back, looked around at everyone, and extended his hand: "May the glory of mankind last forever."
The thirteen people looked at each other and stretched out their hands together: "May mankind..."
"The glory of mankind..."
"May mankind live forever..."
"Immortal."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
"To the glory of mankind."
"May the glory of civilization last forever..."
"May Yang Le use medicine to heal the village..."
"..."
Old Director: "...What you said is not accurate at all."
"As long as you get the idea." The old woman at level 8 retracted her hand perfunctorily: "Go ahead and kill him."
"——Boom!!"
Everyone burst out with energy and rushed into the sky.
Under the joint attention of tens of millions of people in the city and tens of thousands of warriors on the city wall, they rushed towards the level 9 giant ape...
【So be it……】
【It’s over. 】
[Faster than expected, I thought we could hold on a little longer. 】
[The anchor said that among those level 8 warriors, there are also the principal and commander of Beijing University...]
[I typed gg happily. 】
[Can a dozen level 8 warriors compete with a level 9 warrior? 】
[Shengliu: No. 】
[Brothers, I will never regret being a compatriot with you in this life. 】
【Tears...】
【Long live mankind! ! 】
【Long live! 】
【Long live mankind! Long live! 】
【Why? Look to the east, there seems to be light on the sea? 】
【Humanity lives forever! I love you all! 】
【Long live long live long live...】
Just when we hug each other in real life, on the Internet, and say goodbye to each other...
East.
A golden light.
It actually broke through the dark clouds and spread the brightness throughout the huge demon city.
Like a sun rising from the sea!
"Then...what is that?"
The old director, principal and others who were flying subconsciously stopped and looked to the east.
The warriors fighting fiercely on the city wall and the people waiting to die in the city also turned their heads.
Even the level 9 giant ape vaguely sensed a familiar aura, turned its head to look east, and bared its ferocious giant teeth.
[Is that...a person? ! 】
【It’s a human! 】
[F*ck—this light...]
[Can the camera be zoomed in a little closer? 】
【See it! What a person! It's human! 】
[The level 9 warrior from before? He finally appeared...]
【See clearly! Show your face! 】
【What the hell? ! 】
【Fuck! Damn it, I know him! ! 】
"Chen Yu?" The old director felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Chen Yu?!" The principal was stunned.
When the figures bathed in the golden light gradually revealed their true colors, inside and outside the city wall, inside and outside the magic city, whether they were familiar to Chen Yu or not, familiar or unfamiliar...
Everyone looked horrified.
"How can it be……"
"Clang."
In the villa area of Beijing University, Chen's mother stared at the live broadcast on TV. The water glass in her hand fell to the ground...
…
"Everything can be over."
Open your arms and feel the warmth of the sun behind you.
The corner of Chen Yu's mouth raised, facing the level 9 giant ape far below, he slowly raised his right hand...
"God said, Let there be light."
…
