Chapter 42: A Man Like Other
It's already eight o'clock in the evening.
The front of the Wolong Gathering Place was already full of fortifications of various forms, including improvised trenches filled with flammable materials and wooden thorns; There were also rows of thick wooden spikes that fell sideways like a fence near the trench, acting as a second line of defense to prevent the low-level ghouls from crossing and approaching.
There are many similar improvised fortifications, surrounding the entire Wolong gathering place, and the dense fortifications fully illustrate the high efficiency of the collective human forces, and the rudimentary fortifications that are enough to deal with a ghoul war have been completed in less than a day.
It's a pity that, in addition to the defense system of the Hundred Cities, the fortifications in most of the gathering places, especially this kind of temporary fortifications, are difficult to stop the invasion of the ghoul tide, and at most can only delay the offensive rhythm of some low-level ghoul tides.
The weapons and buildings that truly destroy the living force of the ghoul tide still need to rely on the arrow towers that have been built in the Wolong Gathering Area over the years, as well as the defensive weapons brought from White Sea City, as well as the Enhancer warriors gathered in the major gathering places.
Long Aotian had already taken Chen Hu and the others to stand on the arrow tower of the city wall, and the familiar figure in a windbreaker was engraved in the eyes of the people in the outer city, giving the originally panicked people in the outer city a trace of insignificant peace in their hearts.
Near the arrow tower where Long Aotian was located, there were columns of warriors who had already been ready, and all the warriors were led by their respective captains to fight according to the different gathering places, for example, Long Aotian had no right to dispatch the army of Baihai City, and could only dispatch his own team of enhancers in the Wolong gathering place.
The same is true for the teams in other gathering places, but all the members participating in the battle are uniformly dispatched and ordered by Bai Haoyu.
Bai Haoyu was standing on another spire at the moment, holding a telescope from the old world in his hand, looking into the distance, always paying attention to the movements in the direction of the Wolong Forest.
The atmosphere in the gathering place was dreary, and the atmosphere of slaughter was like a big war, pressing on everyone's hearts, making people almost breathless.
No one knows who will survive this battle, and who will sleep forever, or die at the hands of their comrades.
The unknowable future is the most terrifying.
And what human beings want most is to be able to control their own future.
That's why they're gathered here and standing in front of a million ghoul tides.
"Chen Hu, are you afraid?"
Long Aotian looked up at the darkness of the night, and suddenly asked, "Do you regret not leaving?" ”
Just like with Wang Hui, Long Aotian forced Chen Hu and a group of other enhancers to leave the gathering place before Bai Haoyu arrived.
The enhancers are different from ordinary people, they are welcome in any gathering place, and Chen Hu and the others who leave the gathering place can also catch up with the group of refugees in the inner city and protect them to go to more distant places to survive.
"No regrets."
Chen Hu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I can't watch you stay here alone. ”
The fetters of bloodline affection made it impossible for Chen Hu to leave Long Aotian behind so easily, although Long Aotian was far more powerful than him.
Long Aotian smiled and asked again, "What about you?" ”
"Chief, it's all this time, what do you regret!"
"Chief, if I say I regret it, can I leave now?"
"Then I guess Bai Haoyu will behead you to the sacrificial flag."
"Hahahaha, since it's too late to regret it, let's do it."
A rather relaxed voice came from behind Long Aotian, maybe the pressure was extreme, or maybe the big battle was coming, but the captains relaxed and were not so worried and afraid.
The worst outcome is death.
From the day they became members of the hunting party, death was with them.
"I just don't know where Wang Hui went."
Suddenly, someone spoke, gritting his teeth: "This guy must have escaped from the battle, and the leader of the waste values him so much and treats him like a brother, but when the ghoul tide comes, he turns around and runs away!" ”
"It's no wonder that Wang Hui is not at fault, he has only been here for a few days, how can he have any sense of belonging, he will run away if he changes anyone."
"B-level dual-ability, everywhere you put it, it's a treasure, people have a great future, why follow us to death?"
When the hunting captains talked about Wang Hui, most of them were mocking and disdainful, but Chen Hu turned his head to look at Long Aotian, Long Aotian was expressionless, but Chen Hu knew that it must have been Long Aotian who let Wang Hui go.
Otherwise, the Wolong gathering place, which has long been closed down, will never let anyone leave.
"People with good hearts are always the first to die, and in the post-disaster world, people have to become cold-blooded."
His father's teachings were still in his ears, but Long Aotian still remembered his answer when he was young: "I want to be like the big heroes in the old chapters, heroes, all good people!" ”
Looking at Long Aotian's side face, Chen Hu always believed that no matter what the world became, there would always be a handful of people who were different from ordinary people.
"It's coming!"
Bai Haoyu's voice suddenly sounded: "The tide of ghouls is coming!" All troops on alert! ”
Before the words could be spoken, the roar of the ghouls could be heard.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by the roar of the ghouls, there was a foul stench that swept through the darkness and hit the nose almost sick.
"Horse City!"
A shout rang out, and an ability enhancer stood on the spire, his hands condensed into a ball of light, and after a short period of accumulation, he waved his hands violently, and the ball of light floated into the night sky, illuminating all around.
Under the night light provided by the ball of light, everything around was seen by everyone, including the tide of ghouls rushing from the Wolong Forest.
Dense ghouls, like a sea of blue and purple, surging and roaring, strange and ugly ghouls crawling quickly on the ground, reflected in people's pupils full of fear.
It's an endless list of ghouls!
As far as the eye can see, the tide of ghouls that spreads out simply fills all the land area in front of the entire Wolong Gathering Place.
"Poof! Poof! ”
The low-level ghouls running at the front couldn't control their speed, and plunged into the trench in front of them, and then were blown through by the wooden spikes, and some of the rough-skinned ghouls were not afraid of the wooden thorns, and stepped on the bodies of their companions to climb out of the trench.
But the ghouls who managed to cross the trench soon encountered new obstacles, and rows of huge fence spikes, four meters high, blocked their progress.
The low-level ghouls didn't know what it meant to retreat, and even though the thick wooden spikes pierced their chests and abdomen, stained with cyan poisonous blood, they continued to feed forward, squeezing the wooden spikes of the fence and crumbling.
Obviously, simple fortifications can't stop the tide of ghouls, and if they can stop it for a few minutes, it will be a great result.
This is only the lowest-level ghoul vanguard, any ghouls with special abilities are still in the rear, if they can't even be stopped now, the first front line is estimated to not even be able to hold out tonight.
Bai Haoyu understood this question very well, and said in a deep voice: "Ignition!" ”
Now is the time!
While most of the low-level ghouls are blocked by fortifications, form a new line of defense!
