Chapter 226 Lizardman Invasion
Zhang Shi immediately summoned the main personnel on the island, including Zhao Feng, Ge Dalong, Lao Bai and others, to hold an emergency meeting in the conference hall.
"Everyone has seen the message sent by Liu Yu. The appearance of this lizardman tribe is a huge threat to our island. We can't sit and wait for death. We must prepare in advance." Zhang Shi said solemnly.
Zhao Feng spoke first: "Shitou, I think we should strengthen patrols around the island and increase the number of lookouts to ensure that we can find the traces of these monsters in time."
Ge Dalong nodded in agreement: "We also need to organize an emergency team to be on standby at any time and be able to attack quickly if there is a situation. These aliens have already had a serious impact on the operation of the post station, and we have to find a way to completely solve this hidden danger."
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and said: "We can set up some traps around the island, which may have a certain hindering effect on these monsters. In addition, should we also consider joining forces with other forces to fight these aliens together? After all, their strength does not seem to be underestimated."
Zhang Shi listened to everyone's suggestions and nodded slightly: "Everyone has a point. The patrol and emergency team will be arranged by Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong, and the trap will be arranged by you, Lao Bai. As for the alliance with other forces, I will think about it again, after all, we don't know the attitudes and ideas of other forces."
After the meeting, everyone took action. Zhang Shi came to the beach alone, looking at the turbulent sea, thinking about how to deal with it. He knew that the appearance of the lizardmen was not accidental. This crisis was not only a test for the island, but also a challenge to the entire world of survivors.
Zhang Shi stood by the sea for a long time. The sea breeze whistled past, carrying the unique salty and humid smell of the sea, but it could not blow away the haze in his heart. He knew that this battle with the lizardmen would be an arduous and protracted war.
In the following days, the island entered a state of full alert. Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong quickly organized patrol teams and emergency teams. The soldiers patrolled the waters around the island day and night. The lookouts also increased several times, closely monitoring every move on the sea. Lao Bai led a group of people to set up various traps in the shallow sea and beaches around the island, including spike traps, fishing net traps, and some organs with confusing and attacking effects made using special resources on the island.
However, under the calm sea surface, undercurrents were surging. Late one night, the patrol team suddenly discovered some abnormal movements on the sea, as if some large objects were swimming quickly underwater. The alarm instantly broke the tranquility of the island. Zhang Shi woke up from his sleep and immediately rushed to the seaside with his weapon.
When he arrived, he saw several huge black shadows vaguely emerging on the sea, slowly approaching the island. As the distance got closer, with the help of the moonlight, everyone saw the true face of these black shadows. It was a group of huge lizardmen. Their number was more than previously estimated, and this time they looked more organized, obviously prepared.
"Prepare for battle!" Zhang Shi shouted loudly, and the soldiers quickly entered combat mode and were ready.
The lizardmen quickly broke through the trap area. Although the trap caused some obstacles to them, it did not stop their progress. They roared and rushed to the island, and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the moonlight.
Seeing that the lizardmen were getting closer and closer to their own team, Zhang Shi's eyes were firm and he ordered to open fire.
As his order was issued, the musket team that was ready on the side rushed up and fired indiscriminately at the front.
The roar of the musket instantly broke the silence of the night, and the flames flickered in the darkness, illuminating the hideous faces of the lizardmen. Dense bullets rained down on the lizardmen. Some lizardmen were hit and roared in pain, but they did not retreat. Instead, they rushed towards the island more frantically.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi held the old section and shouted loudly: "Don't stop, keep shooting! Melee troops prepare!"
One wave of soldiers retreated, nervously loading bullets, and another wave of soldiers took over and shot at the lizardmen again. However, the lizardmen's skin seemed to be extremely tough. Although the power of the musket could cause them damage, it did not cause them a fatal blow. In a blink of an eye, the lizardmen had rushed to the front and started a fierce fight with the melee troops.
Zhao Feng wielded a battle axe and rushed into the enemy camp, leading the way. Every time he attacked, he was powerful and precise, and repelled the approaching lizardmen one by one. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong also fought hard on the side. They cooperated well, supported each other, and held the defense line with the soldiers.
But the number of lizardmen was too large. They kept surging from the sea. Gradually, the soldiers on the island began to be unable to resist. Some soldiers were injured and fell, and the defense line began to loosen.
Zhang Shi frowned. He had thousands of soldiers in his hands. He thought that he had already crushed other survivors in both quantity and quality. He didn't expect that the aliens who suddenly appeared would give him a big blow right away.
Zhang Shi couldn't tolerate the loss of the island. He rushed into the enemy camp with Lao Duan in his hand. His sword skills were sharp. Every time he swung the sword, he brought the powerful sword energy of Shadow Slash, which cut the approaching lizardmen into pieces. After the evil thoughts were triggered, the shadow army started, scaring away the lizardmen who had never seen such a scene.
Encouraged by him, the soldiers fought bravely and fought fierce close combat with the lizardmen.
But the strength and number of the lizardmen gradually gained the upper hand, and the soldiers on the island began to suffer casualties. Zhang Shi was anxious. While fighting, he observed the situation on the battlefield and tried to find an opportunity to break through.
Suddenly, a fire burst into the sky from behind the lizardmen, and a pillar of fire appeared on the coast, illuminating the sky red. Two lizardmen who were obviously high-level appeared. They were wearing exquisite armor and each held a red bead in their hands. The beads were emitting a faint energy fluctuation. The pillar of fire was created by them.
As one of them shouted, more pillars of fire erupted on the coast, and the lizardmen retreated to avoid being injured by mistake. Many soldiers who did not have time to retreat were stained by the flames and turned into charcoal in just a moment.
Zhang Shi was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered.
"Everyone retreat, quickly, retreat!"
However, the dispatch of thousands of people is not so easy to control. The speed at which the soldiers received the news was fast and slow, and the team itself became a mess. The columns of fire that erupted from the ground from time to time were like a volcanic eruption. In just a few minutes, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
