Chapter 882: Zombie Ape attacking the city
“The density is reducing, but it will probably take half a month to dissipate.”
Le Dayuan looked at the sky and was worried. Cloud Peak had been attacked for many days. Le Dayuan wasn’t sure exactly how many days it was because each day was tough. Everyone was either fighting or crafting, so they forgot about the days.
Some low-level tech and logistics members were used to create crystal weapons. But even then, they couldn’t keep up with the consumption rate.
If they lost the weapon advantage, the casualties would increase.
Death became the most common thing.
Cloud Peak, along with the survivors, had roughly 30 thousand people. Among them, Ying City and the factions around made up 20 thousand. During these few days of battle, more people entered from outside, but there weren’t many of them. Recently, there weren’t any helpers, and Cloud Peak was a lone island.
Even with these people, the overall number was over thirty thousand.
But how many died?
No one knew, but as they looked at the crowd getting smaller, they knew that at least ten thousand had died.
To be honest, if not for Cloud Peak being surrounded, these survivors would have collapsed. If they were against humans, they would have surrendered.
But they were facing crazy mutated lifeforms. If they fought to the death, they might have some hope. If they surrendered, they would die.
But the morale was low.
Le Dayuan’s ears twitched. He looked in a direction, and it was Cloud Peak’s west wall. Two days ago, a ten-meter-tall monster crushed a portion of the wall. Everyone worked to kill that monster and temporarily filled that wall. But it wasn’t firm, and the mutated lifeforms focused their attacks on it for the last two days.
There were a few rumbling sounds that didn’t come from Cloud Peak’s weapons. Le Dayuan guessed that some monster was there.
“Ah Gui!”
“Uncle Gui!”
The few of them held someone who was about to fall. Le Dayuan looked and saw that his helper, Ah Gui, was in shock. Red liquid flowed from his eyes.
Ah Gui and the others didn’t sleep for the last few days and had been carving bullets. The twin propulsion crystal weapons they created were strong. White guns with white bullets could kill level-five mutated lifeforms. If the survivors had shooting jobs or skills, they could kill level-six lifeforms.
They could only defend the lines because of these strong killing weapons.
But everyone knew that the situation was getting worse. Especially after the Sky Spider Defensive Net was broken. The air defense was gone, and many people had to turn to fight against the flying mutated lifeforms. Cloud Peak was in chaos. All the reserve members were on the front lines. If the situation worsened, the only evolved that didn’t join in, those from Le Dayuan’s lab would have to fight.
Ah Gui’s mental energy and stamina were used, and he couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Get him down to rest.” Le Dayuan looked at his injuries and knew that he was exhausted. Although his eyes were damaged, it wasn’t much of an issue for evolved. He just needed some rest.
“Tell those at the front that micro-crystal bullets are gone; tell them to find another way.”
Le Dayuan sat at his position and wore a magnifying lens on his head to carve a crystal cannon.
Liu Zhenghong’s eyes dimmed. The weapon they relied on to kill high-level mutated lifeforms was gone; they could only use lives to compensate.
There was a loud cry from above. Over 200 mutated eagles appeared. Sister Rong gave an order. The giant crossbows and crystal weapons formed a firepower net aimed at them.
These eagles had a decent level; the lowest was level three, and the highest was level six.
One had to be six stars to fight a group of eagles and not get instantly killed. But now, hundreds of arrows and thousands of crystal weapons fired, clashing with the eagles.
The eagles used their talent skills, but those skills disappeared, and they screamed in pain.
Most of them fell from the sky. The red mist sent them crazy and made them fearless. It also made them dumb. They knocked into the human firepower net, and as a result, the bodies they relied on couldn’t protect them.
A few higher-level eagles could charge out but were covered in injuries. But before they reached the ground, a few crystal cannons fired and blown them into shreds.
A green cloud struck from outside the walls. Humans roared and hid behind the shooting mounts. This was the poison of a mutated green bug. It was amazing and could shoot up the walls from a hundred meters out.
Although there was a warning, there were still people who failed to dodge. The liquid hit their bodies, and they were corroded into green water before they could even scream.
Only those wearing white-grade defensive equipment could block it, but the hit parts were corroded.
Over a hundred people died in an instant. One of them was the boss of a faction in Ying City. He was five-star evolved and was in full white. His weapon was a silver piece of equipment, but he still died.
This was war. It had exceeded small-scale or individual fights. It was easy for high-level evolved to die.
More zombies and other lifeforms climbed the walls to battle the humans. After the past few days of attacks, the enchantments on the walls had lost their effect.
The battle hadn’t stopped since the start. They could only take turns resting, and each one was exhausted.
Everyone was challenging their limits.
The Ying City members slightly relaxed from the shock of the toxin. The next time those bugs could use their poison was two days later.
But when the battle restarted, they felt the wall shaking. They were wary.
Moments later, the survivors saw a giant figure slightly shorter than the walls.
That was… Zombie Ape, level eight!
