Chapter 8: The Night Attack of the Beast Tide
When I came to the clinic, I found that the door was locked, and when I inquired, I learned that Old Man Yu had just left and left Jiangning City.
I heard that the affectionate and righteous old man Yu also took Widow Wang and Widow Li, of course, his younger brother Yu Lao Er and his younger sister-in-law Wang Gangdan also followed, and a small team like this has gone a lot.
The rest of the people were also packing up, and the Great Migration began in silence.
Yuan Fang doesn't have many friends, so he has nothing to worry about.
Realizing the tension of the situation, Yuan Fang hurried back to his hut, only to see Yuan Youyuan licking his fingers with an intoxicated expression. This made Yuan Fang speechless for a while.
"Xiaoyuan, Jiang Ning can't stay any longer, let's clean up and leave with Aunt Li and Uncle Zhao's family tomorrow morning. ”
Yuan Youyuan was a little stunned, this good day has just begun, why did something happen again?
"Why are you going?"
Yuan Fang told his sister what had happened.
Seeing that Yuan Youyuan's face began to be solemn, Yuan Fang sighed in his heart: "This damn world." ”
I can't help but start longing for that world again, warm, peaceful and bright. I can't help but have some anticipation in my heart.
When the people of the entire Jiangning City were panicking and moving to the city, around an abandoned industrial area about 10 kilometers east of the city, the sound of dense beasts was boiling, and all kinds of mutant beasts gathered together, baring their teeth and roaring again and again! Some of the original natural enemies are now also gathering here to live in peace.
With a piercing roar that suddenly erupted, the beasts all looked ahead, looking at the ghoul who was standing about three meters on the city wall, and the restless atmosphere calmed down.
At about three meters, it can only be regarded as a 'medium stature' among today's mutant beasts, but if Yuan Fang is here, the system may tell him that this is a third-level mutant beast, and it is the king of beasts in this area!
Looking at the eyes of this third-level ghoul, glowing with wisdom, in line with his extreme desire for human flesh, he often approached Jiangning City, but the defensive power of the city wall was too dangerous, so that this third-level ghoul had been thinking about it but was helpless.
Recently, when it crouched near the city wall, the sense of crisis that made its heart palpitate disappeared, so it felt that the opportunity had come, and together with the other ghouls, it drove and gathered this group of mutant beasts from all over the place to attack the city together!
So, now they have only one goal, that is, the tender and delicious food in Jiangning City... Mankind!
At the moment when the mutant beast group was ready to go, the Yuan Fang brothers and sisters were nervously preparing for tomorrow morning's trip.
Jiangning City is not big, the atmosphere of slight panic is gradually spreading quietly, every household is preparing, perhaps, after tomorrow this will become an empty city, maybe, there will be mutant beasts to settle down, it will not be long before this place will become a barren land, which is also helpless.
The red canopy of heaven gradually dimmed, and night came.
The city is lit up with a little light, and people enjoy this precious moment of tranquility, about the future, at this time, no one looks forward to the future, only the tribute and remembrance of the past.
Tomorrow is leaving, the home they have lived in for more than ten years, and although it is dilapidated, it gives them a moment of peace and warmth in this extremely bloody and cruel post-apocalyptic wasteland. Now it's leaving, the future is going to be uncertain, alas, this is the last days!
The canopy finally became as black as ink, and the silence was oppressive, making the night a little strange.
The night breeze blew, with a little uneasiness, so that the hearts of the people in the city who had not yet slept were inexplicably throbbing, and they became vigilant. Many people walked out one after another, looked at each other, and walked towards the city wall in unison.
At this time, Yuan Fang glanced at his sleeping sister in the house, turned around and gently led the door, and followed him to the top of the city wall.
As everyone looked into the distance, they only heard the 'rustling' sound of red phosphorus thatch coming from the wind, calm and depressed.
I don't know which one suddenly shouted, "Look at the east!"
Everyone turned their heads, only to see dense green dots of light suddenly appear on the pitch-black wilderness in the distance!
"Beast tide!"
"Boom!"
"Hurry up and open the wall defenses! Hurry up!" someone shouted.
"There aren't many energy crystals, they won't last long! Let's flee to the west!"
"Hurry up and flee to the west! or it will be too late!" shouted the crowd.
Yuan Fang's scalp was numb, and he quickly rushed to the hut through the crowd.
The impatience made Yuan Fang unable to control his strength for a while, and the huge thrust blasted the door of the hut far away! The smashed room was scattered, and Yuan Youyuan sat up in a fright.
"Hurry up, let's go! The beast tide is coming!" I couldn't help but say that I took a piece of clothing and draped it on the confused Yuan Youyuan, casually picked up a bag of animal skin that had been prepared earlier, and walked out with my sister on my back!
The crowd outside was boiling, and the cries and shouts shattered the tranquility of the night! Caught in the flow of people, Yuan Fang's brothers and sisters also ran to the west gate of the city.
Suddenly, the east was shining brightly, and the roar of mutant beasts resounded through the heavens and the earth! People understood that this was the defense system of the city wall that had been touched!
Some people knew that the energy crystals of the city wall defense had been in an emergency, and this kind of defense could not last long, so they squeezed even more frantically towards the west gate!
With the roar of the sky shaking in the east, the light of the wall defense system gradually dimmed, which made the atmosphere of panic in the city even stronger! People have begun to panic, and stampedes have gradually begun to appear!
Yuan Fang protected his sister with one hand and carried the animal skin bag with the other, rudely rushed through the crowd, and the two of them approached the West Gate all the way!
Suddenly, "Bang!", the huge city gate was actually violently shaken by the things outside!
The people began to despair, there was a beast tide here! They were surrounded! As a faint defensive light burst out, a terrible beast roar sounded outside, deafening!
However, in a few moments, the loud crashing sound reappeared and became dense! The clanging boom was incessant! The mutant beast went crazy!
Yuan Fang carried his sister on his back and ran to the once rich area in the north of the city, where there were buildings and they were relatively sturdy. It's safer than here and now, anyway.
At this moment, the crowd has exploded! People are panicking and scattering haphazardly.
Ran to an iron fence, inside was the rich residential area that Yuan Fang once yearned for, looking at the neat buildings and roads inside, there was no trace of panic.
"They should have left a long time ago. Without saying a word, there were already many people next to him who were climbing into the fence, throwing the animal skin bag into it first, then climbing up and riding on it, and then reaching out to pull my sister up, and then gently lowering it. If it was two days ago, he wouldn't have been able to do this set of actions, but for Yuan Fang today, it would be easy but a little more laborious.
Jumping into the fence, carrying Yuan Youyuan, who was still in shock, ran quickly towards the mysterious city lord building in the center. Think about it, the city lord's house should be stronger.
There are not a few people who have the same idea, there are already dozens of people inside, and more than a dozen strong men with knives, sticks and other weapons are guarding the door, with hideous faces not letting others in, and seeing that there are some old people, children and women sitting inside, it should be their family members.
Yuan Fang didn't rush into them, time was pressing, and he didn't think he could solve them in a short time. Seeing that the light above the city was getting dimmer and dimmer, Yuan Fang was anxious.
Avoiding the crowd, carrying Yuan Youyuan on his back quickly went around to the back of the city main building, found a cramped corner, and easily climbed to the top of the five-story building under Yuan Youyuan's stunned gaze, and then hung down the rope, Yuan Youyuan skillfully and quickly tied it to his waist, and was pulled up by Yuan Fang, it seems that this process has not been done before.
When the brother and sister stood panting on the top of the high building and looked at the city gate, with a loud "boom", the city gate collapsed!
