Chapter 29: The Current Situation

The bombardment of the magic spaceship Christina blew up the zombie group that had lost its command, killing most of them on the spot, and the rest scattered in small groups, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The convoy was finally saved!

However, when everyone moved to the deck, everyone realized that many of the companions who had fought side by side had disappeared forever, and only two hundred and seventy-three survived! As a result, everyone woke up from the joy of escape, and everyone was silent.

Outside the ship's transparent magic shield, the clear blue sky and white clouds whistled by, and the beautiful scenery in the sky diluted the silence that filled the surroundings. After all, they are all people who have been struggling for six months in the last days, and such a thing as death, although sad, can also regulate emotions well.

Luo Tian leaned forward and leaned on the side of the ship, watching the clouds outside and the city under his feet retreat rapidly, pulling out a vague line, a relaxed mood arose, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In a soothing tranquility, the spaceship traveled for an hour, and tall towers appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhucheng is also known as the "City of a Thousand Towers", it is different from Zhuzhou before the cataclysm, the area is roughly circular, surrounded by tens of thousands of various towers, magnificent.

Towers, of all kinds, steel, wood, stone, plants, made of bone, and even a mess of materials...... Blue, Silver, Gold, Black, White...... In short, only you can't think of it, there is nothing that is not available here.

But for all their strange shapes, these towers have a similar structure – each tower is topped by a slender bulge that looks like a lightning rod and glows with a variety of colors that is impossible to ignore.

Although Luo Tian didn't have much research on magic technology such as magic arrays and prohibitions, at a glance, he could still see that there was some kind of wonderful connection between these tens of thousands of towers, they formed a whole, and an indescribable charm flowed in them.

"Wow, there are so many towers~~ There are at least five or six thousand!" Yao Tingting appeared beside Luo Tian, pointed to one of them and said to Luo Tian: "Na, Luo Tian, look at that one, it doesn't look like a big rock snake." ”

Luo Tian followed her guidance and looked over, and sure enough, a tall tower was dark blue all over, looking down from above, it looked like a big snake coiled into a snake array, roaring at the sky, spitting out silver-gray letters.

"If your big rock snake continues to grow, it may be able to grow that big." Luo Tian secretly praised in his heart, the mind of the person who built this tower is really wonderful, it is simply whimsical and imaginative.

"No, the big rock snake said, there is a limit to its size." Listening to Luo Tian's words, Yao Tingting's eyes lit up, but after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked listless and very disappointed.

Luo Tianwan smiled, looked at the tall towers that were getting closer and closer, and sighed: "The city of a thousand towers...... Looking at the situation, not only a thousand towers, but also 10,000 towers! ”

"To be exact, it's currently 12,471." Zhao Mingyan's voice came, and Luo Tian immediately raised his eyebrows.

After getting on the boat, Luo Tian didn't see her, and at this moment, Luo Tian keenly noticed that although her voice was still that soft tone, her words and deeds revealed a faint majesty of the superior, and she was rusty...... This made Luo Tian feel a little uncomfortable.

Luo Tian also had some guesses about her identity before, but, according to the current situation, she is not only from Zhucheng, but also a well-known person in Zhucheng.

She walked slowly, smiling, as usual. However, even if the nerves were as thick as Yao Tingting, they could feel the change in her.

If Zhao Mingyan was a weak woman with a black belly before, at this moment, she is more like a queen, or, a nobleman.

Behind her, there were five people, three women and two men, each of whom had a very strong aura, and the weakest of them was much stronger than Luo Tian. Among the five people, Mu Ling, the woman in white who created ice and saved the entire convoy, was impressively listed.

"Miss Zhao Mingyan, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you, we would have been wiped out!" Lu Yuan, Wu Jue and others hurriedly came over and thanked Zhao Mingyan. Everyone can see that these people just came to pick up Zhao Mingyan.

"Captain Lu Yuan, don't be polite, everyone is precious in the end times, and it is incumbent on you to save your companions." Although Zhao Mingyan's momentum has changed a lot, he has not put on any shelf, and he is still very kind.

Suddenly, Luo Tian felt a flash of hostility, his eyes shrank, and quietly swept over the five people behind Zhao Mingyan, a little inexplicable. "Sister Zhao, don't you want to introduce a few people behind you?" He smiled slightly, deliberately showing verbal intimacy.

Sure enough, that inexplicable hostility reappeared!

Luo Tian, who had prepared for a long time, immediately locked on the wisp of hostility and determined the target. It was one of the two men among the three women and two men behind Zhao Mingyan. It was a plump man with a long figure, shoulder-length hair, sword eyebrows, a high nose, slightly thick lips, a healthy wheat complexion, and a smile at the right corners of his mouth.

Enmity? After determining the goal, Luo Tian suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, this guy would not have a crush on Zhao Mingyan, and then see that he had a good relationship with her, and the result was ...... Your sister, what a disaster!

"These three are Mu Ling, Chen Xue and Mu Xiaoxiao," Zhao Mingyan first introduced the three daughters, then bent her eyebrows, and said with a little evil smile, "This is the god stick Lin Yufeng, and this, the handsome guy Fu Yu." She seemed to feel Fu Yu's faint hostility towards Luo Tian, and smiled like a fox stealing a little hen, making the corners of Luo Tian's mouth twitch.

Everyone greeted each other for a while and talked about the matter of Zhucheng.

There are now about 250,000 survivors in Zhucheng, and although it is still a little deserted, at least it makes this once dead city show some popularity and give people a faint sense of security.

And these 250,000 people, according to Lin Yufeng, are about a quarter of the population of today's Xia Empire!

The advent of the cataclysm left the densely populated Tianxia Empire with less than 2.5 million left! Now, after six months of struggle, half of the Empire's population of two million remains, and it would be nice to have a million.

Qingcheng, Zhoucheng, Zhucheng, Chuncheng, and Ningcheng, such as the five big cities where the survivors of the Xia Empire are concentrated today, concentrate nine out of nine survivors of the empire, which is also the source of this data. According to Lin Yufeng and others, there is a connection between the five big cities, but they are too far away from each other, and the connection requires too much energy, and there is not much communication, just a simple exchange of some important information.

At the same time, there are 10 million survivors in the entire source star, and today, six months later, everyone estimates that the rest should be between five million and seven million, and ninety percent of this number is concentrated in the four major empires, and those small countries can't resist the crazy zombies and mutant beasts at all, and they will definitely not survive for a long time.

In Zhucheng, more than 200,000 people exist in the form of hunting groups, these hunting groups are as few as only two or three kittens, and there are hundreds of large ones, and they are responsible for the defense, cleaning and guarding of more than 10,000 towers around them according to their respective strengths, and everyone guards Zhucheng together.

The pressure on Zhucheng is very high. In other words, the pressure on all the cities on the source star is extremely high.

For a week, basically every day, zombies will attack Zhucheng, and under the command of intelligent zombies, they will do everything they can to frantically attack Zhucheng's tower defense network.

In the beginning, there were not so many defensive towers around Zhucheng, but there were thousands, and today's spectacular scene was built one after another in the following months, and the current powerful defense has formed.

In the narration of Lin Yufeng and others, Christina landed in a wide open space in Zhucheng, and the convoy finally officially arrived in Zhucheng, arriving at a safe harbor and a rare resting place.

"Captain Lu Yuan, what are you going to do?" Zhao Mingyan asked, listening to her tone, it seemed to have the meaning of solicitation. This made the Mu Ling Wu people behind her stunned for a while, could it be that the Lady finally planned to develop her own power?

Lu Yuan and the others looked at each other a few times, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This ...... We need to discuss it, after all, it's everyone's business......"

Zhao Mingyan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I can understand." However, if you do not have any intention of setting up your own hunting group, I hope that you will take the lead in considering us. As for our strength, I think you will be able to find out if you inquire about the name of the 'Female Guard', so I won't boast about it here. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of vacant places in Zhucheng, if you want to find a place to live, just see where there is no one." Lin Yufeng's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he enthusiastically introduced some common sense things, and offered to lead the way for everyone.

Luo Tian, Lu Yuan and more than a dozen other people discussed a few words, and decided to find a place to settle down first, rest for a night, and talk about other things when the time comes.

The huge Zhucheng has only more than 200,000 people, and due to the defense tower, the places where everyone lives are relatively scattered, which also leads to the need to deliberately look for people in Zhucheng if they want to see people. In this empty city, after walking a few steps, everyone fell in love with a building with more than 50 floors as a temporary resting place.

"Brother, can you come over for a moment? I have something to say to you. When everyone in the convoy lined up in a long line and entered the process, Zhao Mingyan's voice sounded in Luo Tian's ears. He said to Lu Yuan and the others, and walked out behind Zhao Mingyan.

Zhao Mingyan walked silently in front, Luo Tian followed behind without saying a word, the two walked quietly for more than ten minutes, one after the other, and before he knew it, Luo Tian found himself in a small leisure park in the past.

"Sit down." Zhao Mingyan sat on a bench and beckoned Luo Tian over. Luo Tian sat beside her, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at the lush trees and flowers around her, and a feeling of being in a different world arose, and he couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

"It's a familiar feeling, right. It's a pity that for today's human beings, such leisure is already a luxury. ”

Luo Tianyi raised his eyebrows, puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

"Don't think that Zhucheng is safe." Zhao Mingyan's words completely destroyed Luo Tian's leisurely heart, "Living in this city is a very hard thing. Of course, from a survival point of view, the hard work is worth it. ”

"The zombies are attacking very fiercely."

"Have you ever played an online game?" Luo Tian nodded.

"So you should know about monster siege, right?" Zhao Mingyan's tone contained a hint of helplessness, "The attacks of zombies are like monsters attacking the city, overwhelming, but there is no pattern, they will attack at any time. Whenever the zombies attack, the tower defense network of Zhucheng will launch a guard, and then, no matter what you are doing, you must immediately get up and rush to the vicinity of the tower you are responsible for, just in case the tower is destroyed......"

"Can you imagine that we have experienced more than three months of this frightened bird-like life!"

"There are many people, there are thousands, they are not crushed by the attack of zombies, but they collapse in such a life......"
