Time seems to be stretched infinitely.

The giant beetle-like body of the shadow monster finally touched the edge of the energy circle, and the encirclement line formed by the large shadow had been maintaining a slow but non-stop speed towards the security station, and then suddenly paused for a moment.

Especially the one that touched the energy circle, there was not even a chance to dissipate and then reorganize, the moment of contact, all the movements of the shadow monster stopped, including the black shadow of the tentacles waving in the air was also fixed in the air, and then from the contact part, the body formed by the shadow dissipated like fine sand, and the dissipation gradually spread to the whole body, and soon, the monster disappeared from the present world silently, this time it really did not leave a trace.

This was just the beginning, and after a moment's pause, the encirclement line continued to move forward, and the shadows and monsters continued to collide with the concentric circles formed by the energy circles, and then turned into the same energy of the present world.

"Ahem, cough, cough", the crumbling Suni suddenly erupted into a violent dry cough, bending over with a wooden cane, coughing so much that people were worried that she would spurt blood at any time. And at the same time as she erupted in a dry cough, the first line of defense formed by the energy circle completely collapsed, and it only lasted for less than ten seconds in total, and it was already covered by the rolling torrent formed by the shadow monster.

"Here's this, the loot left by the trick just now." Seeing that Suni was coughing badly, Monica was obviously quite hesitant, but after thinking twice, she still stuffed a few black shards like rags that she had just picked up into Suni's hands, "Hold on first, and then find a chance to help you disperse." ”

Suni grabbed the shard, and when she opened her hand again, the shard had magically disappeared, and her coughing stopped miraculously. But Babu saw it, and a cloud of red mist escaped from between her fist's fingers, turning into two thick plumes of smoke down her nose. After inhaling the pillar of smoke, the red mist in her body swelled violently, and the tentacle phantoms formed by the mist behind her also danced violently, waving for a long time before slowly stopping.

Although she stopped coughing, Suni's face became even more pale, and the sweet and greasy smell emanating from her body became extremely obvious, she barely stood up straight, and said in a weak voice: "No, the four defensive walls can't last long, and the faster they are broken through the back, while there is still a little time, the townspeople must be turned ......."

Halfway through the conversation, she couldn't go on, because she had already discovered that the shadow monsters were coming from all directions, and the townspeople had no room to move at all, and if such a dense shadow monster really wanted to rush over, even if it was not directly attacked and killed by the monsters, it would quickly be polluted and become a monster without consciousness.

"Got it? So, get ready. Monica's expression became serious, and she lowered her voice, "Indeed, we are not a garrison group, just a scavenging team, and guarding the town is not our main responsibility, so we don't need to risk our lives to protect them." But don't forget, everything we usually do is actually supported by them, and we have no obligation to protect them, but we actually have this responsibility. ”

"Suni, Victor, I want you two to work with me to protect these people. I don't ask you to fight for your lives, and in the end, when you really can't protect it, you can escape on your own, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I hope you can work with me to the end, and don't give up easily. Seeing that the two of them did not object, Monica smiled with relief, and then turned her gaze to Babu, "Babu, after all, you haven't joined our waste picking team yet, and besides, you still have little Anna by your side, so ......"

"So I ran away with Anna first? But where do you think we can escape? Do you want to flee to other cities or villages? The Báb asked rhetorically: "If the whole town is attacked, there is no point in fleeing anywhere, and if it is not all attacked, it is safer to hold on to help than to force an escape." ”

"Well, you're right." Monica patted Barb on the shoulder, "That's ......"

"Whoosh", as he was speaking, a purple firework rushed up in the distance, and then several fireworks rose into the sky, and a large cluster of purple light exploded in the sky, dazzling and dazzling for a while.

In addition to Babu, the other three people let out a short exclamation at the same time, and their faces showed joy, especially Monica, who was particularly obvious, raising her voice and shouting loudly: "See, the reinforcements have already set out, and in fifteen minutes at most, a safe passage can be opened for us." Don't panic, just wait in the yard and make the last preparations for self-protection. Let's work together to get through these fifteen minutes. ”

The townspeople had seen the situation outside, and they had already been completely desperate, and their faces were so disgraced that even the children forgot to cry and became stupid. It wasn't until Monica's shouts that the men began to regain their senses, and the men picked up their sticks again, and the young men of the vigilante team began to maintain order again, concentrating the crowd as far as possible in the middle.

The door to the main building in the middle of the station had been reopened, and everyone else was busy, except for Babu leaning against the entrance of the building with his eyes closed. Of course, it just looks like a recuperation, but in fact, although the eyes are closed, the energy perception is running at a high speed in the consciousness. As a natural observer, no one is more suitable for this task than Babu, and soon, the energy fluctuations in the building will appear in Babu's mind, and every suspicious fluctuation will be further carefully investigated.

"Safety." Babu opened his eyes and met the expectant and curious gazes of several vigilantes. They were all the same age, although they didn't know each other very well, but everyone was quite curious about Babu, the young man who was in the limelight yesterday, but as soon as Babu opened his eyes, several people immediately dispersed in a hurry, and hurriedly carried out their tasks, guiding the townspeople into the rather solid main building of the security station.

"The second line of defense has been broken."

Suni's voice came from the top of the main building. She has been sent to the top floor of the building, and she is condescending, and the entire security station is under control, both inside and outside the wall, and the shadows and tricks approaching in any direction cannot escape her attention, and she can give an early warning or even start to deal with it at any time.

Just like now, the strange creatures had just broken through the second energy defense circle she had laid down, and this time she was not weak enough to almost vomit blood, but still had the strength to shout a warning. At the same time, her fingers twisted continuously, making a few strange gestures, and finally pointed forward, and a red mist came out of the third defensive circle that was pointed, exuding a faint sense of oppression.

On the ground, Monica was urging the townsfolk to enter the police station, but she didn't have time to respond to Suni, so she had time to wave her hand to indicate that she had heard. There are more than a hundred townspeople gathered here, and although the security station is spacious, it is still quite crowded with more than 100 people to be crammed, but now there is no way to do it, and can only rely on Monica's personal prestige to forcibly suppress all opposing voices.

Otherwise, you will die, and you will bear the consequences.

"The third line of defense, breakthrough."

Even if it was strengthened, the third defensive circle didn't last a few more seconds, and it was overwhelmed by a shadow of the black press, and only the last one was left in the defensive circle, which was in the outer circle of the wall, and once it was breached, the strange beast could climb the wall unhindered and directly face the four scavengers who finally guarded the security station. The situation is already quite urgent, but the people in the walls are still focused on their tasks, and the only one who has time to respond to Suni is Victor.

Babu couldn't see what Victor was doing, he had taken out a large box out of nowhere, and was picking through it, and there was no tinkling sound coming from the box, like glassware colliding with each other. Hearing Suni's alarm, he just raised his head and made a gesture to signal that everything was going well, and then buried his head in the box again, and after a long time of busyness, he was satisfied with the lid and put the box back in his hand.

"The last line of defense is about to be lost."

There was no impatience in Suni's voice, it didn't look like the defense line was broken, and neither did the other three people in the courtyard, because for them, now was the beginning.

The last person was sent into the building, and after making sure that there was no trick infiltrating inside, Babu completely retracted his sense of perception and nodded to Monica beside him, who slammed the door against the door, then took two steps back and stood side by side with Babu in front of the door. Victor, who was carrying the box, had a solemn expression, silently walked behind the two and stood still, looking around with a slightly anxious expression, and soon, Suni on the roof went around and came to Victor, and the four of them were divided into two floors, blocking the entrance to the building.

The fourth line of defense was finally lost.

As the first tentacles climbed the wall, more and more black shadows emerged from under the wall, like infiltrating mercury, pervasive, as if nothing could stop them for a moment. Although these monsters do not make a sound and roar, when they crawl on the ground, they constantly make a rustling sound, and the sound of each individual is not loud, but the sound of a large number of shadow monsters can be heard very realistically, rustling, rustling, as if thousands of centipedes crawling in the darkness at midnight.

Rustling, rustling, crawling and scratching getting louder and closer, the monster jumped off the wall,

"Smack", the whip sounded.

The first shadow was close enough, and the long whip was raised, and the surrounding space with a radius of more than four meters was covered by the long whip's attack range, and no trick could easily enter the defensive circle.

It was useless to come in, because the Báb was there.

Babu didn't seem to worry about being whipped at all, so he was so relieved and bold to move within the range of the whip, and the whip was like having eyes, and it was able to flexibly bypass him every time, without interfering with each other. Babu roamed within the range of the whip and did not need any defense, only to stab his dagger outward from time to time to clean up the deterioration that the whip could not reach and that was trying to enter. It didn't matter if the monsters would disperse into phantoms, it would not be easy to eliminate them, but what the four of them needed now was to delay as much time as possible and wait for the brigade to arrive.

"Whoosh", a few more yellow fireworks rose into the sky, and Monica knew that this meant that the fastest reinforcements would arrive in five minutes at most, as long as they could......

However, just when the joy of the four people was just rising in their hearts, at the edge of the building behind the four people, a desperate voice suddenly remembered.

It was the sound of a few wooden planks shattering, and the sealed windows were not securely sealed, and they were torn apart by the monster a few times, so that the townspeople who had taken refuge inside were finally exposed to the monster.

Facing death, all those who want to protect are at stake.
