Chapter 22: Standing on the Earth
'Boss, what should we do if that human is hiding behind a mound of dirt and we can't shoot him?' β
'Dick, what do you think?' β
'Boss, there must be something strange about this!' β
'Second, the human on the other side seems to have come with reinforcements, and now there are two of them!' β
'Third, we'll follow the boss in a while, and we'll beat whoever the boss hits. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info'
'Listen to your second brother. β
After a meeting of the three skeleton archers, they took up their positions again.
"Huh? Why is there no movement down there? Akai hid behind the dirt in confusion, and waited for a long time without moving.
According to Akai's original idea, if he wants to use cover to trick the arrows of the three skeleton archers below, as long as they run out of arrows, then it is time to fight back. It's a pity that the three skeleton archers below don't cooperate with him at all.
"Qi, what kind of rotten idea are you, if we don't hurry up and deal with the three skeletons below, the zombies below will fill the trench I dug in the ruins" After building the street in the air with leaves, I returned to Akai's side.
Since the leaves will slowly wither and wither without a trunk, but in terms of time, the leaves will not disappear until they are completely withered, and the whole time is about 2 hours, which is enough to keep us in mid-air until dawn.
"Decide, boy." I pushed my glasses and pointed to the platform made of leaves above our heads.
Akai looked puzzled: "What to decide?" β
I pushed my glasses and stared at Akai with a slightly scrutinizing gaze until the thing was all hairy: "One, retreat to the platform in the sky before dawn, and wait for the sun to rise, and finally we will win." β
"Sounds like a good look, and you can effortlessly take out the remaining fifty zombies and those three skeleton archers." Akai pushed his glasses, "So, what else?" β
I was silent for a moment...
"Boy..."
"Huh?"
"Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a man, even if it's only for five minutes~" (Me: Hey, take the wrong line, isn't it a rational choice to retreat to the leaf platform in the air at this time!) Author:γ»γ»γ»γ»Tilt your head to sell cute)
β=γ = You're forcing me, bastard, such a spineless thing naturally has to run away when you can't hold it. β
"It's called a strategic retreat!" I corrected Akai's words with a solemn face, the escape of the god horse is too ugly!
"Then don't you need to ask, of course..." Akai said with a smile, and then suddenly sprang out of the dirt wall, stepped on it with one foot, raised his bow, and pointed the arrow in his left hand, aiming it at the skeleton archer in the middle.
"It's a pain, bastards, I have to get back on the field after being pressed so badly by you before!" An arrow plunged into the skeletal archer's head with lightning speed.
"Hey, that's right, it's too embarrassing to be cornered by a monster with a low IQ!" I held a sword in each hand and protected Akai in front of him.
With all my might, I stopped the two arrows that were whizzing in midair.
Then, the time has come to fight back!
Bend the bow! Arrows!
At the height of a mere two-story building, there was no need to worry about accuracy, and Akai fired another arrow into the head of a skeletal archer on the left.
In an instant, only one of the three skeleton archers remained, but this outburst had drained almost all of our remaining energy.
Finally, I threw a stone sword into the head of another skeletal archer.
In an instant, this throw made my arms weaker (the teenagers who want to see the protagonists kill in all directions are disappointed, ordinary people can lift a slightly heavier weapon and swing it a few times without strength, let alone throw or something)
Back at the mud wall and sitting down, Akai and I looked at each other and smiled, I raised my weak arm to Akai and said, "Whew, it's so hard, I almost didn't stop those two arrows." β
"Hehe, sure enough, cooperation is king, but what are you going to do with the zombies below?." Akai looked at the dirt at the top of the staircase, where the screams of zombies could be heard.
The trench had been filled with zombie corpses, and the remaining fifty zombies poured into the narrow passage with the corpses of their companions, during which there were not a few zombies who were knocked down by tripwires, and after spending a lot of time getting up, they were thrown to the ground by their zombie companions because they stepped on the tripwire. And because the tripwire mechanism is triggered, powerful arrows shot from the front of the dispenser kill all the zombies in the back row.
Since I placed the dispenser in a relatively high position so that the dispenser's mouth could be directly facing the zombie's head, the half set of arrows I placed in the dispenser almost effortlessly killed nearly twenty zombies.
Of course, this tower defense game is officially discontinued after all the arrows in the launcher have been fired. The zombies in the back row stepped on the corpses in the front row, stepped on the transmitter at the staircase, and threw themselves on the dirt blocking the stairs, trying to dig hard.
Since the dirt can't stop the zombies for too long, almost all the zombies downstairs have entered the ruins, which means that there are two paths in front of me and Akai now.
Either retreat to the aerial platform and destroy the staircase made of leaves so that the zombies can't touch us. But the disadvantage is that we don't know when the leaves will wither, if the leaves wither before the sun rises, we will fall into the zombie pile, it will definitely be a dead end.
The second option, of course, is that we jump down now, and then I plug the creeper's blown up gap with dirt and lock up such a large group of zombies in the small dark room of the ruins, and then Akai and I run in the direction of home without looking back.
I talked to Akai about the method I had in mind, and Akai said that he agreed with the first method, and then implemented the second plan if it really didn't work.
As for why...
There is still an hour and a half before dawn, and for our current physical strength, especially when we have been fighting for most of the night, our physical strength and energy cannot allow us to run for an hour and then until dawn, even if we walk.
There was no way, Akai and I retreated to the rooftop to rest.
But before that, in order to make the dirt at the staircase block the zombies for a longer time, I moved the dirt wall that had blocked the three skeleton archers from shooting wildly to the staircase to thicken it, and by the way, I put away the dozen arrows inserted in it.
Half an hour later-
"Roaring !!!" The dirt at the top of the stairs had been pulled apart by the zombies, and Akai and I were already waiting on the rooftop.
"It's almost dawn, and I'm almost seeing victory coming." I stretched my legs, moving my sore legs.
"In other words, we're going to listen to the zombies down there for an hour? Oh my God, it's going to be noisy..." Akai sighed, he was so tired tonight that he almost fell asleep just now, and I woke Akai up.
"Well, that's just a few zombies anyway, I'll count... well, twenty-one, not too many, which means that we killed nearly two hundred monsters tonight. Great harvest, great harvest. "After counting the number of monsters, I sat down on the soft foliage platform and rubbed my wrist again.
The leaves under the buttocks have begun to turn yellow, and they are expected to disappear before they are touched.
I asked Akai to raise his bow and arrows and shoot them with the arrows he had replenished earlier, because the foliage platform I had built in the air was only three meters from the rooftop, which was three blocks away. Under this kind of almost zero distance, Akai can't shoot the group of zombies below with teeth and claws, so give me a seppuku!
"Who's going to go, bastard! An empire of geniuses like mine can't accommodate me! With a laugh and scolding, Akai raised his bow and arrows, and after this night's shooting, Akai's archery skills have also improved a lot, at least he is a lot more proficient. Combat is the most elevating of all, but the string of the bow in Akai's hand was almost broken, so I handed Akai the bow in my backpack and asked him to replace it.
By this time, the sky had begun to glow red, a harbinger of the rising sun.
We've got victory in the palm of our hands, so let's do next...
Just hold it tight!
