Chapter 124: The Mansion of the High City

On the other side, the mansion of the Gao Cheng family.

Since the early morning of this day, the first wave of corpses appeared at the foot of the hill named after the Gao Cheng family, and the battle to defend the Gao Cheng family has officially begun.

Tens of thousands of corpses lined up in a chaotic but dense long line, as if they were attracted by something, and rushed to climb the mountain along a dozen large and small mountain roads of Gaocheng Mountain.

The barbed wire fences set up on the mountain roads were quickly forcibly broken through by these dead bodies that did not feel pain and were not afraid of death, and the guards of the Gao Cheng family were forced to retreat to the next line of defense after several people died.

As the de facto leader of the Bed Master City, the Takajo family has long stockpiled a large amount of weapons and equipment, and its underground arsenal has enough ammunition reserves to fight a small war.

However, no amount of weapons needs to be used.

Since the outbreak of the dead body virus, in order to rescue the survivors in the surrounding area, the temporary search team composed of the guards directly under the Gao Cheng family has almost every day several people who have been bitten and infected in the battle, or directly killed in the mouth.

In less than five days, the number of guards directly under the Gao Cheng family had dropped from nearly 100 to less than 70, a reduction of nearly 30 percent.

Faced with the increasing number of corpses for some reason, the direct guards alone were no longer enough for the long defense line of the Takagi family's mansion, and the head of the family, Soichiro Takashiro, had to make a decision to select able-bodied young men and women from among the survivors who had been under his protection, and distribute them with weapons as a temporary supplement to the guard.

From the very beginning, Soichiro Takashiro had little hope for these ordinary citizens who were temporarily arrested, but he just planned to do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

However, what he never expected was that dozens of survivors who had just been admitted yesterday suddenly showed terrifying combat power far beyond ordinary people, and easily saved the direction that was crumbling under the impact of the corpses.

"My lord, the outer line of defense has been stabilized, but ...... Those people offered to replenish weapons and ammunition, you see? โ€

Soichiro Takashiro carefully wiped the war knife in his hand with a piece of deerskin, raised it from time to time to look at the sunlight in the window, and after a long time, he said lightly to the butler who bowed his head and waited in front of him: "Since they said it, then exchange it for them according to the number of dead bodies they killed, as long as it is in the warehouse, it is open to them......"

"But......," said the butler.

Soichiro Takashiro naturally knew what this butler, who had been loyal to him for decades, wanted to say, choked his knife into the sheath, got up and came to the towering floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the fire and smoke that had not yet dissipated in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I know that their identities are very suspicious, and the purpose of sending Saya back is not simple, but it doesn't matter...... I need their strength to help me hold this place, to keep my family and my partners, so I give them what they want, and it's a very equal exchange. โ€

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it......"

"Wait a minute." Soichiro Takashiro suddenly raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand to the butler, "Add this saber of mine to it as wellโ€”I want them to know that as long as I am willing to work hard, I, Soichiro Takashiro, will not treat anyone who has shed blood for our Takashiro family." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

A temporary camp for survivors on the outskirts of the Takajo family.

Dressed like a high-level intellectual in the last century, he pinched a cup of instant coffee that was still steaming with two fingers, and the other hand kept gesturing something in the void, as if he was operating a three-dimensional topographic map that only he could see, and the corners of his slender mouth gradually revealed a mysterious smile.

"This No. 1 Dire is not only strong enough, but also seems to be very smart......"

The black general sat next to him and carefully wiped his spear with a soft cloth, and although the weapon was certified to be self-cleaning, he was more accustomed to this traditional way of maintaining it from a martial arts family.

"Bai Xiang, my accumulated points are about to exceed 100,000 points, but I can only rank third in the standings, how many points do you think the second "Scarlet Rock" and the first "Dire" have?"

The higher the player in the standings, the more important the private information that will reveal their combat power, so the vast majority of them can only see the ???ใ€‚ that represents the hidden points

The black general chased from 19th place all the way to the top three, but since reaching this position, his position seems to have taken root, no matter how hard he tries to farm points, the names "Scarlet" and "Dire" are like two mountains, pressing on his head and not moving.

It's a bad feeling to know that there is a gap, but not to know the size of the gap.

"Scarlet Rock is the captain of the Red Stone Mountain Team of the Wa Kingdom, in fact, there is not much difference in strength between the two of you, and he takes the route of high defense and main tank, and the output efficiency alone is even lower than yours."

"It's just that one of his team is estimated to be a chef's sub-professional, who can provide the team with a certain amount of stamina recovery items. If all these stamina recovery items are used on "Scarlet Rock" alone, then it is normal for your points to catch up with him......"

"It's the person ...... Dire," said this, Bai Xiang's face, which had always been unwavering, finally showed a rare look of hesitation, "I can't see through this person. โ€

"Oh? And people who can't see through white appearance? Hei Jiang suddenly became interested, since he met Bai Xiang, he had never seen Bai have such a high opinion of someone.

"I have a good memory." Bai Xiang pointed to his head, of course, in his opinion, this is something that everyone can do with their hearts, and it is not worth boasting about, "This "Dire" first appeared in sixth place in the standings, and then fell into the top 20 at one point after the large group mission of "Bloodstained Campus" was settled, and then caught up with it at a very fast speed. โ€

"Mind you, I'm talking about extremely fast...... Most of the other players will climb the leaderboard for a period of time, but this person's climb on the leaderboard is continuous, and almost overnight he has completed the feat of jumping from dozens of places to the first place...... And since then, it has been firmly at the top of the list, and there has been no repeated listing on the list. โ€

"So...... He's strong? โ€

"Very strong." Bai Xiang bowed his head in affirmation, the retro round glasses reflected a magical light at an inexplicable angle, "Of course, if that's all there is, he's not worthy of my attention, the point is - he's a lone ranger." โ€

"The Lone Ranger?" The black general couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously stopped the movement in his hand.
