Chapter 4 The Beast Tide Begins
The night by the sea is deep and quiet.
Chi Hua suddenly woke up in the night, with the sound of the waves crashing against the reef rhythmically in his ears, and An An next to him curled up like a kitten and slept soundly.
Through the skylight overhead, you can see several faint points of starlight through the radiant clouds.
It is also the light of hope, starting from the sea, and the radiation clouds that cover the earth have a tendency to thin.
Chi Hua lost his sleepiness, and simply rested his head on his arms, looking at the night sky above him in a daze. The roulette wheel of fate is so magical, an ordinary person in the vast sea of people back then, in the last five years, has grown into the top powerhouse in this world, and can protect the safety of one party.
But where is the end of this apocalypse? Where is the end of the evolution of life?
Suddenly there was a rapid alarm outside the window, and An An sat up directly from his sleep, "Has the beast tide begun?" ”
Chi Hua asked An An to lie down again, covered the slippery quilt back to her shoulder, kissed her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Keep sleeping, it's just the beginning, with me, I don't need you yet." ”
Chi Hua's words seemed to have magical power, and An An soon fell asleep again and let out a slight snoring sound.
Chi Hua put on his cloak and walked out gently, and when he turned around and brought the door, he glanced at An An's side face when he was asleep.
Chi Hua tightened the knife in his hand again, even if it was just for the lover around him, even if it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he would kill to the end of this apocalypse.
......
On the city wall, rows of Dawning City warriors were already in battle. Dozens of high-power searchlights at the head of the city shone on the sea, and the muzzles and muzzles of the black holes pointed at the sea in the distance.
The sea is surging with waves, and countless huge black shadows are swimming under the water.
Murong Chaoyang hugged his shoulders and looked at the sea in the distance with a solemn expression, and the second-order powerhouses of Dawn City were lined up on both sides behind him.
"Are you about to start?" Chi Hua stood beside Murong Chaoyang.
"The beast tide is ahead of schedule."
"Sooner or later, it will come." Chi Hua's voice was flat without a trace of ups and downs.
"Looking at the density of underwater sea beasts, I'm afraid this time it's bigger than any beast tide we've experienced before."
As if to verify what he said, Murong Chaoyang casually threw a small metal ball into the sea in the distance.
The metal ball fell into the water and exploded, setting off a splash more than ten meters high, and with the splash being turned out, there were more than a dozen corpses of sea beasts.
With this tentative attack by Murong Chaoyang, it also kicked off the prelude to Dawning City's fight against the beast tide.
On the city walls, the muzzles of one cannon were pressed down, and hundreds of guns fired a salvo.
One after another, the shells exploded on the nearby sea, and the sea surface seemed to boil, blowing up countless waves, and the waves carried a large number of sea beast corpses.
The shelling lasted only ten minutes before Murong Chaoyang suddenly stopped the shelling.
The cannon stopped, the waves stopped, and a layer of various fish carcasses floated on the surface of the sea, and even the nearby sea surface was dyed red.
Countless dark shadows still swim beneath the surface, and they gather more and more.
The waves began to roll on the surface of the water again, and countless large fish poked their heads out and began to scramble and devour the corpses of their kind.
Several whirlpools suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and nearly 100 square meters of fish carcasses around the whirlpools were swept into the bottom of the sea. Apparently there are more powerful sea beasts hunting beneath the seabed.
Soon the corpses floating on the surface of the sea were snatched up, and there were more dark shadows swimming under the surface than before.
The bombardment had consumed almost one-fifth of Dawnlight's ammunition, but the sea beasts killed by the explosion were probably less than one percent of the beast tide.
This is the horror of the tide of mutant sea beasts, obviously they have killed countless people, but they don't know how many more, as if they will never see the end of the beast tide.
"Why stop? Now is a good opportunity to kill in large numbers. Murong Bin couldn't help but ask.
Murong Chaoyang's tone was solemn, "Didn't you pay attention to those fish carcasses on the sea?" Most of them are large common fish, and mutated sea beasts make up only a small part of them. ”
In the last five years, there was no large-scale fishing by humans, and the marine ecology was greatly restored, and in a few years, the number of large fish increased by many times compared with before.
"When did these sea beasts become smarter and know how to use cannon fodder to consume our ammunition?" Murong Bin muttered quietly.
Speaking unintentionally, listening to the intention, Chi Hua's heart moved, "Brother Murong, it's better to wait a little longer." After all, these big fish couldn't do damage to the city wall, and the mutated sea beasts took the initiative to attack. ”
Murong Chaoyang nodded as he said, and the city fell silent.
The waves on the sea surface became more violent, and from time to time large fish five or six meters long jumped out of the sea, but the head of the city never attacked again.
The churning waves gradually subsided, and the dark shadows swimming on the surface of the water also thinned out a lot.
"Attention everyone, it's about to begin!" Murong Chaoyang suddenly reminded in a loud voice.
As soon as Murong Chaoyang's words fell, there was a clattering sound on the sea, and thousands of crustacean sea beasts climbed onto the metal platform. Among them, crabs are the majority, and a small amount of lobsters are also mixed in. The smallest crabs are also as small as cars, and the largest ones in the middle are even the size of tanks. Countless crab claws crawl on the platform, making a screeching sound.
Murong Chaoyang took a rifle from the soldier behind him, and shot it below.
In the night, the sparks splashed by bullets on the crab shell were very eye-catching, but even the crab shell was not penetrated.
Murong Chaoyang frowned, these small crabs were far from the first order, but they had also undergone a certain degree of mutation.
Chi Hua next to him suddenly laughed, "It's good to live by the sea, there are so many seafood!" Our family An'an likes to eat crabs, but she has never eaten such a big one, and I want to surprise her with breakfast today! ”
Chi Hua said and jumped off the city wall.
As soon as Chi Hua landed, countless shrimp and crabs waved their huge pincers and quickly pounced towards Chi Hua.
As if he hadn't seen it, Chi Hua walked straight to the group of shrimps and crabs, and as he walked, spikes protruded from the originally smooth metal platform. These sharp and long spikes pierced directly into the crab's abdomen, peeping through the shell of the back, nailing the shrimp and crabs in place.
Chi Hua seemed to be visiting a seafood market, and picked up among the shrimp and crabs, these huge sea beasts were no different from the small shrimp and crabs in the market in his eyes.
A giant crab the size of a tank swung its giant claw and pounced on Chi Hua. Chi Hua didn't even raise his head, and a sharper metal thorn bulged, nailing it to the same place.
Chi Hua picked two shrimp and crabs of a good size and jumped back to the city again, and this time he nailed hundreds of huge shrimp and crabs to the spot.
"Brother Murong, please let the kitchen clean up, the crabs are steamed, and the shrimp meat is boiled into porridge."
Murong Chaoyang smiled and pointed, "You! ”
Chi Hua's move greatly boosted the morale of the Dawning City army.
Murong Chaoyang took the opportunity to yell at the soldiers behind him, "Your breakfast hasn't been settled yet?" Do you still need me to teach you how to do it? ”
"No!" The warriors of Dawn almost laughed and roared in unison.
Immediately, hundreds of warriors slid down the rope and slid down the city, armed with spears, broadswords, and other cold blades, and pounced on the sea beasts that had crawled to the bottom of the city.
The elite warriors of Dawning City have all grown up in constant battles with sea beasts, and the blades in their hands are almost all made of materials from mutated beasts, but the crab shells that cannot be penetrated by rifles are easily pierced and cut by knives and guns.
The warriors of Dawning City formed a formation, cooperating with each other's attacks and defenses, and although they fought with the sea beasts in close quarters, they hunted these huge shrimp and crabs quickly without danger.
Occasionally, wounded soldiers will take the initiative to retreat to the city under the cover of their comrades, and when they retreat, they will carry two corpses of shrimp and crabs. Naturally, there will be new warriors in the city to fill his place.
Chi Hua couldn't help but nod secretly when he looked at the scene of the battle under the city wall, the soldiers of Dawn City deserve to be known as the strongest individual combat effectiveness, which is all sharpened from the life and death battles again and again.
Although the warriors of Dawning City continue to hunt sea beasts, there is a steady stream of sea beasts that climb up from the sea. In addition to the shrimp and crab at the beginning, huge sea snakes five or six meters long, and octopuses three or four meters high climbed up from the sea one after another.
The sea serpent's movements are extremely fast, and its large open mouth can swallow the entire warrior in one gulp. The octopus waved its long tentacles, and the sudden attack directly rolled up the warrior and threw him into the group of sea beasts behind.
The soldiers of Dawn City are no longer as calm as they were at the beginning, the number of wounded and killed soldiers is gradually increasing, and the frequency of rotation of soldiers in and out of the city is getting faster and faster.
In the midst of the fierce fighting, no one noticed that several huge black shadows were swimming rapidly from the bottom of the sea towards the metal platform.
When the black shadow jumped out of the sea, Murong Chaoyang and Chi Hua on the city wall noticed it.
It was a strange sea beast with a flat dorsal abdomen, a head and pectoral fins forming a roughly circular body disk, and a thick club-like tail dragging it. The mutant sea beast that leapt into the air was nearly ten meters long, like five huge iron disks falling towards the metal platform.
Murong Chaoyang, who had lived by the sea for a long time, immediately changed his face and shouted loudly: "Withdraw, all withdraw." ”
As the Dawning warriors began to retreat, the five-headed sea beast slammed into the platform.
After the sea beast landed, it did not pounce on the Dawning City warriors, but began to spray electric sparks on both sides of its abdomen, and large clouds of electric sparks spread out, instantly covering the entire platform.
"Electric ray!"
Ordinary electric rays in the sea can release a voltage of 60 to 80 volts and discharge 50 times per second, and the discharge capacity of electric rays after becoming a first-order beast has increased dozens of times, and the voltage released in an instant is as high as two or three thousand volts.
One by one, the soldiers of Dawn City trembled and fell to the ground, and even the warriors who had already pulled the ropes and began to climb the city wall also fell down one after another in the electric shock.
Not to mention the warriors under the city walls, even the warriors on the city walls began to tremble slightly.
The biggest weakness of metal - conductivity!
"Bastard!" Murong Chaoyang jumped directly from the city wall, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the two electric rays were directly cut.
Murong Bin and Feng Zhen jumped down immediately after Murong Chaoyang, and the second-order powerhouse made a move, and the five electric rays were killed in an instant.
The platform was filled with the smell of burning, and many shrimp and crabs were directly scorched indiscriminately, and more than a hundred fighters who were close never stood up again.
And the beast tide has only just begun......
