The sky is getting dark, there is no concept of evening on a day without the sun, and there are only two concepts in the world in the end of the world, day and night.

When the sky is getting dark, people who have been working all day slowly come out of the fields, either pushing wheelbarrows or holding fruitful melons and vegetables on the ridges.

Zhang Yuan also walked on the ridge like everyone else, on her trolley were three melons and fruits shaped like corn but much larger than corn, more than half a meter high, the thickness of the bucket, and the corn kernels on it were the size of hemp balls, dotted on the corn cob like milky yellow pearls, looking very gratifying.

And in front of them, at the end of the ridge, machines that looked like tractors but were larger and more bulky, like bulls, were waiting quietly.

Behind the cumbersome machine were the tethered carts, which were already full of large baskets, Zhang Yuan put the corn and vegetables on the cart in the box, and then carried the wheelbarrow onto the cart, and the others did the same as her, repeating what they did almost every day.

The sun rises and the sun sets, as if suddenly returning to the farming period, everything seems so harmonious and quiet.

After people put all the tools and trolleys on the board truck, they also sat on the car, and then the bulky machine like a big buffalo made a sudden sound like a diesel engine, but there was no black smoke like a diesel engine, and the big buffalo started, slowly but firmly pulling the board cars behind them forward.

The car drove through the field road, passed a bend and then entered a smooth asphalt road, at this time the asphalt road on both sides of the bright yellow lights, just like the street lamps in peacetime, but the strange thing is that the light is not a familiar bulb but a prismatic crystal shaped like crystals, those crystals are installed in the lamp tube of the street lamp, quietly glowing bright but not dazzling, shining on the front of the carts and ox carts.

In front of the board trucks, at the end of the asphalt road is a behemoth more than 20 meters high, like a giant lying in the dark, and when the board car gradually approached the giant, it actually showed its true face, it was actually a thick city wall of more than 20 meters!

Zhang Yuan on the board car looked up at the city wall in front of him but saw that the city wall showed a strange reddish-brown color, covered with different shades of nicks, which were left in the previous battle with the Zerg and the Abyss Clan, and the deepest trace was on the left side of the convoy, which was a huge crack that almost divided the city wall in half, although it had been repaired, it could still be seen how badly damaged it was before, and how tragic the battle was.

It is said that it was left by a terrible third-order monster named Ironspiny Dragon from the dragon world, although Zhang Yuan didn't quite understand how powerful the so-called third-order was, but just the rumored that it was ten meters tall, and the body length plus tail was thirty meters long, and the huge appearance of a stegosaurus was enough to scare their hands and feet.

Zhang Yuan raised his head almost 45 degrees, and saw that at this time, the crystal lamps on the city wall that were as bright as small white suns were also lit up, and under the crystal lamps, the figures dressed in insect armor and only showing their faces stood there like statues, looking down at them.

The people below looked up at the figures standing on the city wall above their heads, their eyes were full of respect and gratitude, if their job was to pick fruits and vegetables from the fields outside the city every day, and provide food to people, then those figures on the city wall were the umbrella to protect them and keep everyone from all kinds of monsters!

It is precisely because of the bloody sacrifice of these people that they have been exchanged for the safety, food and clothing of the people in the city today.

The convoy slowly entered the city through the city gate with a height of nine meters and a width of four meters, and when the last board car walked through the city wall, a loud bang sounded behind it, but the fine iron city gate weighing more than 30,000 tons fell.

"I spent it safely today~ Luckily, there are no bugs, monster attacks! I hope I can spend it safely like this tomorrow!" Zhang Yuan was thinking that he had finally finished his day's work and could return home to see his lovely daughter, and a middle-aged man next to him said with a lot of joy.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and glanced at him, and found that it was a Shandong man, who seemed to be called Chen or something, Zhang Yuan didn't have any friendship with him, and the reason why he could remember him was because he was said to have a son in the city guard, so he had some impressions.

Buzz –

Suddenly, a buzzing sound hovered above everyone's heads, and everyone's faces suddenly turned pale, because this voice has been heard in the past two years, I don't know how many times, everyone can no longer be familiar with it, in the past, this sound was called an air defense alarm, and in today's Jinling City, it is called an enemy attack alarm!

Every time this sound sounds, it means that there is a swarm or other danger approaching Jinling!

Everyone subconsciously raised their heads but saw a little cyan dot in the sky in the distance, and in a blink of an eye, the blue dot turned into a green cloud, and when they reached the top of their heads, it had become a group of huge birds that looked like pterosaurs in the Jurassic period, but their bodies were covered with cyan scales!

"The whole city has entered the first level of alert! There is a small flock of Qinglin birds appearing in the sky above Jinling! In order to prevent accidents, everyone should not go out of the room!" A serious voice sounded in the sky above Jinling, conveying the message of the attack of the small group of Qinglin birds to everyone.

"It's a green bird!" The carts pulled by the "big buffalo" on the asphalt road had stopped, they had left the city wall for a while, and it was too late to go back, and their location was at least four or five hundred meters away from the nearest building, and it was too late to get there!

Fortunately, just when the people on the board car looked panicked and at a loss, the voice appeared again: "If you go out to work, you can't find a room to hide, please be sure to stay near the crystal lamp, don't walk around!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted, got out of the car quickly, and then stood next to the street lamp, Zhang Yuan also hurriedly walked to the side of a crystal street lamp, looking at the cyan clouds above his head with a serious expression.

"The Inner City Defense System Begins to Activate......"

With a clicking sound, the lid on the top of the crystal lamp, which was originally only used for lighting, suddenly separated from the middle, and then one after another, a pitch-black barrel appeared.

"What is this??," a man hiding next to the crystal lamp said with an ugly face as he looked at the barrels sticking out of the top of the crystal lamp, and then prepared to leave the location of the crystal lamp and run towards the building four or five hundred meters away.

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" An old man with gray hair next to him suddenly grabbed him, and the man just wanted to break free, but his face suddenly changed because a green linbird appeared above their heads, and the iron claws that shimmered with metallic luster grabbed like lightning!

"It's over~It's over! I was killed by you! You people from Jinling don't run by yourself, why don't you let me run!" the man said with a gloomy face, and then he heard two soft sounds, and the Qinglin bird that pounced on them suddenly stiffened and fell heavily in front of them!

"What's going on?" said the man who was just about to flee as he looked at the Qinglin Bird, who had twitched on the ground twice and then stopped moving, and said incredulously.

"Dumbfounded, this is the Source Energy Gun! With this, as long as we don't encounter a large swarm of bugs, it's safe enough for us to stay here!"

"Source gun?"

"Look at you, you just came to Jinling in the past few days, right?" the old man said with a puzzled look on the young man's face.

"Hmm~ I just came from Feidong the day before yesterday~" Sun Qi nodded.

"Then that's weird~ This source energy gun was only developed this month~ Although it looks the same as the previous guns, it uses not gunpowder to propulse, but source energy! This kind of gun is very powerful, just like ...... Well, it's the same as the old Desert Eagle!" the old man pinched his chin and teased.

"Source energy? What is it? New energy? I only know electricity, heat, chemical energy, biological energy, etc., and this source energy gun is so powerful, what kind of inner city defense system is ......?"

"This source energy~ It's the source energy! You don't understand the principle! I won't tell you! You just need to know that it's very powerful~" The old man who was asked by Sun Qi turned his head as if he didn't understand what he said.

"Source energy is the insect crystal energy extracted from the bodies of which insects......" Looking at the old and young in front of him, Zhang Yuan said silently in his heart, but did not say the words.

"Inner City Defense System Charge Completed ~ Start Activating ......"

With a tremor on the ground, a dark red pillar of light suddenly lit up at the top of a spire-like building four or five hundred meters away from Zhang Yuan and them, and then, like a beacon fire, the dark red pillars of light lit up one after another, just in a short moment, a circle composed of dark red pillars of light appeared around the inner city, and then the pillars of light spread, and all the pillars of light were connected together to form a dark red film of light, wrapping the entire inner city!

"This is the inner city defense system~ It actually opens every night, but because it was in the city before, I can't see it. The old man continued to explain to the young man.

"However, compared to the name of the inner city defense system, most of us prefer to call him the Red Flame Enchantment Array~ Because this enchantment array is supported by a full nine hundred and eight Fire Raven Army!"

"Fire Raven Army?"

"Oh~ Look!" Just as they were staring at the inner city defense system or red flame defense (enchantment) array that wrapped the inner city in front of them, a stream of red flames suddenly emerged from the inner city, and the group of Qinglin birds flew into the sky as quickly as meteors.

"Are they the Fire Raven Army?" Sun Qi couldn't help but say as he stared at the red flames above his head that collided with those Qinglin birds like red fireworks.

"Of course~ it's amazing!" Seeing the Qinglin birds in the sky falling to the ground one after another like a winged plane, many people began to get excited, and the gray-haired old man clenched his fists even more excitedly.

"Hmmm!

Under their gaze, the Qinglin Bird in the sky was quickly slaughtered, and then one after another, the flames either returned to the inner city or descended to the figure, and then there was a fiery red figure that flew straight towards them in their surprised gaze!

Boom!

The crimson flames shattered in front of them, revealing a large flaming bird with its huge wings spread out at least three meters wide, and on the fiery red bird's body was a half-seated figure wearing a fiery red insect armor, an automatic pistol in his left hand, and a fiery red long knife in his right hand.

The big flaming bird circled over their heads twice and then stopped in front of them, and then a hoarse male voice spoke, "You went to the fields outside the city to pick melons, fruits, and vegetables?"

"Yes!" the fire crow ......," said the gray-haired old man, who was standing in front of him, and when he saw the figure on the fire crow, he immediately said excitedly.

"Huh?" the tone of the figure on the back of the flaming bird changed suddenly.

"Red Flame Army! It's Lord Red Flame Army!"

"Hmph~ How many times have I told you! We are the Red Flame Army! The Red Flame Army! Don't let me hear the name of the Fire Raven Army again!"

"Remember, remember!" the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing if he was frightened or if he had been baked by the heat of the big red bird because he was too close.

"I'm not scaring you! I'll tell you the truth, we didn't say it, but our Commander-in-Chief! Don't mention how angry he was at the time! Am I better, if the Commander-in-Command hears it, hehe......" The Red Flame Army on the back of the flaming red bird let out a small voice that made everyone shudder.

"Okay~ There are less than a hundred Qinglin birds that have attacked this time, and they have been completely solved! I'll take you back to the city! Hurry home after you go in! Don't walk around blindly at night! Beware of being arrested as a cultist!"

Hearing the word "cultist", everyone couldn't help but tremble, in the hearts of the residents of Jinling City, the term "cultist" is almost equivalent to bugs, zombies, and other chilling existences!

In the eyes of the high-level leaders of Jinling City, cultists are even more terrifying than monsters such as bugs, because bugs can only harm people's flesh at most, while cults hidden in the crowd can quietly corrode a person's mind, and the soul turns it into a devil far more terrible than zombies, evil spirits, and even monsters!

Anyone who is confirmed to be suspected of a cult is almost like being sentenced to death, and anyone can be killed on the spot! Instead of being punished, they will be rewarded handsomely!

It is almost equivalent to the reward for catching criminals who have violated the prohibitions made by the most powerful people in Jinling City!

Although they knew that this Red Flame Army was scaring them with a bad taste, everyone didn't dare to attack, but fortunately, this Red Flame Army seemed to just scare them casually, and didn't say much along the way, and after sending them into the inner city, they were separated from them.

Shout~

"It's really amazing~ It would be nice if one day I could become so powerful, but I can only think about it......" Watching the flame crow turn into the sky and disappear a little spark, Sun Qi said with regret.

"Not necessarily~ As long as you work hard, you can become very strong~"

"Forget it~ I'm just an ordinary person, although I heard that even ordinary people may become awakened as long as they have enough insect crystal resources, but where can I go to find insect crystals......" Sun Qi's expression was very frustrated.

The method of piling up a large number of insect crystals into an awakened person is even more impossible for a person who has just fled from Feidong than if a inheritance fell from the sky and hit him now, and that method is probably only available to people who have a very strong background in the family, at least someone in the family who is in the city guard or even the Red Flame Army, where they often fight with insects.

"Who said you didn't have a chance to come into contact with insect crystals?" or the old man before, who couldn't get used to his mournful life and had no hope, couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Is there one?" Sun Qixi looked at the old man in disbelief, is there really a way to make himself stronger?

"Join the army!" said the old man without thinking.
