For more than a year, Hua Yan has been in retreat, and the outside environment has undergone earth-shaking changes, most notably the regrowth of vegetation on the earth's surface.

Many of the mutated plants adapted to the radioactive environment and began to grow and expand.

In addition, there are many plants that have never been seen on the earth before, such plants account for about 20 or 30 percent of the surface vegetation, and they are mainly concentrated in those areas with strong radioactive energy.

Although they have a variety of forms, they have a common feature, that is, they are basically dark blue in color, and they fluoresce, especially at night, these fluorescences are very radioactive and toxic.

With the slow recovery of vegetation, more mutant beasts have gradually emerged, and many pre-apocalyptic animals have appeared mutant groups, such as mutant rats, mutated wild boars, mutated hares, mutated wolves, and so on.

Some former domestic animals such as dogs, cats, and sheep have also begun to appear in the wild, but they have lost the restraint of humans, and most of them have become wild, similar to other mutated beasts.

Even more terrifying were the beasts that bred near the dark blue vegetation, which had never been seen on Earth before, and whose genes seemed to be patchwork together.

Occasionally, humans have found their traces, some have dog heads, human bodies, some look like pigs, but have crocodile mouths, anyway, there are all kinds of strange things, there are all kinds of forms, but without exception, these beasts have extremely terrifying strength.

Many humans have died under the attack of these beasts, and various legends are becoming more and more terrifying, so now the vicinity of those dark blue glowing vegetation is basically a forbidden area for humans, and no one dares to provoke it.

In order to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, the valley where the town of Hope is located has been fenced with a wall about three zhang high and more than one zhang thick, and the city wall is built with closed towers and passages, so that ordinary people can also guard the city wall with guns.

At this moment, Liu Haitao was patrolling the defense on the city wall.

"Hello Councillor Liu!"

A guard on duty on the city wall saw Liu Haitao coming over, and quickly saluted respectfully.

"Well, hello, thank you!"

Liu Haitao responded solemnly, and his eyes turned to a valley behind the city wall.

Now in this valley surrounded by the city wall, more than 100 giant wilderness trees have been transplanted, and now the effect of the giant wilderness fruit has been recognized by the human world, and it has gradually become the easiest hard currency to trade.

More than 100 giant desolation trees can be said to be the most valuable wealth of Hope Town, more than half a year ago, the 3,000 giant desolate fruits owed to Xinghai City have been paid off, and after having the remaining giant desolate fruits, many ordinary people also have the opportunity to try a few more.

In the past few months, there have been many ordinary people who have obtained soul energy after trying to take more than a dozen giant desolation fruits, including Cai Xinxin's father Cai Changhe, and now there are nearly two hundred people who hope to have soul energy rifts in the town.

And Liu Haitao still didn't get the soul energy rift after taking twenty giant desolation fruits, thinking of this, Liu Haitao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Maybe that's fate!

At this time, a commotion came from the direction of the city gate, and Liu Haitao also turned around and leaned down to look at the city gate.

But it was Xiao Li who came back from hunting in the wild with a few people, and at this time Xiao Li also saw Liu Haitao in the city tower.

"Boss! Look, there are wild boar meat eaten at night~"

I saw Xiao Li and his party of four or five people, Xiao Li walked in front, and two people carried a two or three hundred kilogram mutated boar carcass and followed Xiao Li.

"Let's go to Cai Changhe's place for a drink or two later!"

"Okay~ Your kid has gained a lot today, I'll go and get wet~"

Liu Haitao smiled and waved his hand to Xiao Li in response.

With the increase of beasts in the wilderness, Xiao Li has been organizing people with soul energy to go out hunting in groups of three or five for more than half a year, after all, actual combat can improve combat effectiveness the fastest.

Of course, those who have just possessed soul energy still have to train for a period of time first.

Cai Changhe is a shrewd person, he seized the opportunity to open a tavern, and took advantage of this opportunity to buy these hunted prey, his skills are not bad, and the dishes he makes are naturally in short supply in Hope Town.

Relying on the operation of the tavern, Cai Changhe has accumulated enough more than a dozen Giant Wilderness Fruits, and has recently succeeded in obtaining soul energy.

As soon as Liu Haitao and Xiao Li arrived at the tavern, they saw Cai Changhe greeting guests with a red face, and when they saw the two of them coming, they hurriedly walked a few steps over.

"Councilor Liu, Councilor Xiao, please come in, please come in!"

"Boss Cai, you have obtained soul energy, why are you still taking care of the tavern yourself?"

Xiao Li smiled teasingly, looked at Cai Changhe and said.

"Councilor Xiao said with a smile, I'm just a little cook, the boss of that door, I haven't found the right person to take over yet, and I have to pass on this skill."

Cai Changhe hurriedly took over the conversation, rubbed his hands and said.

"Okay, you have to pass on this skill, or we'll lose a lot of blessings, hehe~"

"But you have to hurry up and report for training, after all, there are still too few people with soul ability now, and every one of them is a treasure!"

Liu Haitao saw that Cai Changhe was embarrassed, and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, definitely, definitely!"

Cai Changhe nodded again and again.

"Bring it in!"

At this time, Xiao Li waved his hand behind him and said.

I saw two strong men behind carrying the hundreds of kilograms of wild boar into the tavern.

"It's a mutant boar!"

Cai Changhe was taken aback when he saw it, and said with wide eyes.

"This is the first time anyone has sent this thing to me! Councilor Xiao, you guys are really good! ”

"Now the people in the town can feast on it!"

Cai Changhe gave a thumbs up in front of Xiao Li and said excitedly.

"You've worked a lot on this, haven't you?"

Xiao Li smiled and waved his hand.

"It's a little meaning~, no matter how powerful this thing is, it's also a stupid thing, we have a way to take care of it!"

After more than a year of training in the apocalyptic world, Xiao Li is no longer the college student who speaks girlily and is ashamed to meet outsiders, and now his face has begun to be engraved with vicissitudes and sophisticated ...... at a young age.

Not long after Liu Haitao and Xiao Li and the five or six of them found a place to sit down, hunters came back one after another outside.

In the evening, after a day of intense hunting, the hunters gathered in this tavern, and gradually the place became noisy.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom..."

While everyone was drinking and drinking, an emergency alarm bell sounded in the direction of the city gate!

"What's going on?"

"What's the situation?"

The tavern suddenly became agitated, and Liu Haitao and Xiao Li's faces were also covered with clouds.

"Don't panic, let's go up the city wall with me!"

Xiao Li raised one arm and shouted.

These people usually train with him, but now that Xiao Li said a word, everyone quieted down.

"Boss, are we together?"

"Well, good"

Liu Haitao and Xiao Li walked ahead, and everyone sped up and ran towards the city wall.

When they rushed to the city wall and looked out, they couldn't help but gasp, only to see that from more than ten meters outside the city gate, they were densely packed with mutated beasts, and there was billowing smoke and dust in the distance, obviously these mutated beasts were still converging...

It was already dark, and there was a green light in the distance, the eyes of the mutated beasts.

It's a beast tide!

Xiao Li and Liu Haitao had discussed before, with the restoration of vegetation, it was likely that there would be a terrible beast tide, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon.

"Palm Lamp!"

"All gunmen are on standby!"

Hua Sihai was directing more than 200 gunmen to enter the firing position.

"Brothers!"

"Armor!"

"Go to the walls!"

"Array!"

Xiao Li also began to command the soul powerhouse into a combat state.

Under the illumination of the searchlights on the city wall, it can be seen that there are three main types of mutant beasts in this wave of beast tide: mutant rats, mutated wild boars, and mutated wild wolves.

The front is mainly mutant rats and wild boars, and most of the mutant wolves are behind, and these beasts do not take the initiative to attack the territory of humans on weekdays, but today I don't know what the situation is, there are tens of thousands of mutant beasts to surround the town of hope!

"Whew...... Woo........."

On a nearby hillside, a mutated wolf that was much larger than its kind howled.

Which is the mutant wolf king!

All the mutated wolves in the beast tide also howled.

"Whew... Woo... Oh... Woo..."

The howl spread for several kilometers.

When the mutant boars and mutant rats in front heard these howls, they began to sprint towards the city wall like crazy!

Unexpectedly, this mutant wolf king couldn't help but be able to command the wolves, and even mutated boars and mutant rats could drive them.

"Fire!"

Hua Sihai and Liu Haitao commanded the gunmen to start shooting from a distance!

"Da... Da... Da..., Da... Da... Click..."

Hundreds of tongues of fire began to erupt outwards from the shooting holes in the city walls!

It's just that these mutant beasts are now rough and thick-skinned, especially mutated wild boars, and one or two bullets can't cause fatal damage to them at all.

Those mutant rats are sensitive and cunning, and it is difficult to shoot, so the effect of firearms on these mutated beasts is not very good in this apocalypse, and they basically don't bring firearms anymore when they go out hunting.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Soon the herd rushed under the city wall, and countless strong mutant wild boars crashed into the city wall, like a battering ram, even the reinforced concrete city wall three zhang high and one zhang thick was also hit by these fierce mutated wild boars.

And at the city gate, the heavy steel city gate was severely deformed, and the situation soon became critical, seeing this situation, Xiao Li was ready to lead people to rush out from the city gate to kill.

The soul powerhouses commanded by Xiao Li were also wearing iron armor at this moment, holding iron swords and shields, and they were all armed!

Xiao Li stood at the front and swung an iron sword!

"Brothers!"

"Sword Formation!"

"Kill!"

After the initial wave of collision, the momentum of the subsequent beast tide slowed down a little, and at this time, the heavy steel city gate was hoisted up with a "bang".

"Bang! … Boom! … Poof! …”

The sword array commanded by Xiao Li collided head-on with the beast herd, and the real strangulation officially began!
