Chapter 4133: Strong support from the safe zone (1)
With the sound of the bell and drum, the residents of the town gathered together.
Their faces were filled with confusion and their bodies were injured. They had long been exhausted from the repeated battles.
From the discovery of the monsters until now, they had experienced dozens of waves of battle, and they had suffered a lot of casualties.
Fortunately, the children had been transferred, allowing the protectors to heave a sigh of relief.
Children were hope. As long as they were safe, it didn’t matter how hard and tiring it was.
The survivors had to hold on until the harvest was over before they were qualified to move to the safety zone in the rear.
Before they could successfully harvest, even if everyone died, they must not take a step back.
These mortals were only made of flesh and blood. If it were not for the cultivators, they would have already collapsed and fled.
Not all the people could understand such behavior, and some cowards would take the opportunity to escape.
However, such a person would not have a good ending.
After knowing that it was impossible to escape, the survivors became well-behaved and resigned themselves to their fate to continue guarding this place.
The brutal fighting and killing made the survivors ‘hearts turn to ashes, and they could be demonized at any time.
The cultivators were helpless against such a situation. They could only try their best to appease and suppress it.
Although they had extraordinary means, they were actually quite helpless in the face of this terrible disaster.
Like the survivors, they were not allowed to take a step back before their mission was completed.
However, it was not an easy task to complete the mission.
The demonized monsters became more and more frenzied, constantly attacking any living creature, spreading the gray poisonous fog that represented death.
Wherever they moved, a gray mist would rise, and everything would rapidly disintegrate under the corrosion of the gray mist.
It wouldn’t take long for it to become a desert.
To stop this from worsening, they had to kill all the active monsters, which was the only effective way.
However, it was impossible to kill all of the infernalized monsters. They launched wave after wave of attacks, and each time, it was overwhelming.
Fortunately, these monsters had low endurance and had to return to their nest every once in a while. After resting, they would launch another attack.
It was this habit that gave the survivors a chance to survive.
However, the losses caused by each battle were getting greater and greater, but there was no way to make up for the loss.
There were only the old, weak, sick, and disabled left in the town, and their combat power was getting weaker and weaker.
It was the same for the cultivators. They could not replenish their resources in all aspects, so many cultivators were fighting with all their might.
They wouldn’t be able to hold on for long in such a vexing state. Perhaps they would all be annihilated in the next battle.
When the situation became more and more critical, the rear finally sent reinforcements, which made the guards at the front line overjoyed.
Looking at the energetic soldiers of various races holding strange weapons, the guards at the front line were excited and confused.
Although the number of people had increased a lot, mortals were no match for monsters.
No matter how many soldiers were sent, they would only serve as cannon fodder and would not solve the actual problem.
It would not take long for these soldiers, who were full of fighting spirit, to become as desperate and lost as them.
However, it didn’t take long for this doubt to disappear and be replaced with deep shock.
It turned out that these soldiers had powerful weapons that could be used specifically to kill demonized monsters.
When he demonstrated the weapon in front of everyone, the metal bullets he fired could easily penetrate the enchanted monsters.
When it hit the rocks, sparks flew in all directions, and the lethality was quite amazing.
It had the same weakness, which was that it would make a loud noise and smoke would rise constantly.
The Guardians ‘eyes lit up. With such a powerful weapon, they could easily kill the demonized monsters without having to risk their lives to fight the monsters in close combat.
His disappointment was replaced by excitement.
The cultivators in charge of leading the group released a large number of resources. Not only were there more powerful weapons, but there were also enough ammunition, food, and armor.
The urgent matter had been resolved.
The cultivators were also very excited. They had received assistance from the safety zone. Not only did they receive a sufficient amount of Ling grains, but they also received a batch of standard magical artifacts and medicinal pills for healing and recovery.
Since the start of the war, this was the first time the cultivators on the front line had received such a generous amount of material assistance.
The Guardian who had been in despair was now full of fighting spirit and couldn’t wait to go into battle and kill the enemy.
There was no time for chit-chat, and everyone immediately got busy, distributing supplies and installing all kinds of weapons.
Each of the guards was full of motivation, and their hearts were filled with anger.
They wanted to fight and kill all the demonized monsters to avenge their dead friends and family.
After getting used to life and death, they were no longer afraid. As long as they killed enough monsters, even death was worth it.
In less than half a day, the defense work had been completed. Now, they only needed to wait for the infernalized monsters to attack.
It just so happened that the meal was about to start. The rich fragrance of the Ling grains had long made people drool.
In order to increase the fighting strength of the soldiers, a portion of Ling grains was added to their daily meals.
As long as he ate it for three days, his physical fitness would increase by several times, becoming as strong as a bull.
Be it strength or agility, he was comparable to high-level martial artists. His combat power had become quite strong.
It was this huge change that gave the soldiers endless confidence, and they were no longer afraid of fighting the demonized monsters.
Not to mention, there were new equipment and excellent armor, which doubled the combat effectiveness.
As long as they continued to eat Ling grains, in a short time, ordinary people would also have the qualifications to cultivate.
Then, he would impart cultivation methods to them, and they would be able to quickly cultivate a group of cultivators, thus making up for the serious losses they had suffered previously.
This series of actions could be said to have reversed life and death, turning the situation around in an extremely short time.
Of course, such a situation only occurred in the safety zone guarded by Tang Zhen. The other places were much worse.
Faced with the monsters ‘frenzied attacks, the other safe zones kept retreating. Their territory became smaller and smaller, and the pressure they were under increased.
This was a vicious cycle. As time passed, the safe zone would naturally collapse.
Helplessly, they could only think of a way to split them up.
The safety zone under Tang Zhen’s control became the best choice. Many safety zones took the initiative to contact him, hoping that they could send survivors over to settle down.
In the face of such a situation, Tang Zhen could be said to not refuse anything and would take as much as he could.
Such a forthright style received unanimous praise from the cultivators.
How would they know that their actions were equivalent to sending troops to Tang Zhen?
With Ling grains in hand, even if they were sick or disabled, they could still feed the other party until they were full of energy.
After some training, they would be able to go into battle and stop the invasion of demonized monsters.
The cultivators also benefited. Not only was the pressure greatly reduced, if they ate Ling grains often, their cultivation level would slowly and steadily increase.
With such a two-pronged approach, it was impossible not to become stronger.
It did not take long for him to see a large patch of dark clouds rapidly approaching from the sky above the desert in the distance.
“The monster is here!”
The cultivators in charge of scouting immediately sounded the alarm, and the ear-piercing sound echoed in the sky above the town.
The people who were resting quickly found cover and prepared to deal with the monster’s attack.
In the past, at this time, people’s hearts would be filled with despair, because no one could be sure if they could survive.
But this time, the Guardians were full of confidence, and their eyes were filled with unconcealed anger and killing intent.
Under the Guardian’s gaze, the dark clouds continued to approach. The ugly monsters with black skin and colorful stripes on their bodies quickly approached the sky above the town.
Just as they sensed the aura of living beings and were about to attack, a thunderous sound rang out.
Green smoke rose up, and there was a dense rumbling as countless metal bullets shot into the sky.
The infernalized monster wailed, and its shattered body fell from the sky like rain.
