More than forty kilometers to the east of Dragon City was a col surrounded by a forest. Hidden in it was the tungsten mine with the highest quality and the richest reserves the Dragon Citizens had ever discovered up to this point.
Tungsten was an important material for creating armor-piercing bullets.
And since the failure rate of precision electronic equipment was incredibly high and there was no satellite network outside the atmosphere to provide navigation, armor-piercing bullets became the most important and even the only spear the humans had in their steel army.
In the past, due to the lack of large tungsten mines, humans could not create armor-piercing bullets in large quantities.
When they faced the fierce monster horde, they could either use normal bullets to attack them, which would not hurt them at all, or they could use extremely valuable super alloys to create cold weapons. With blood and courage, they could make up for the lack of ammunition.
This large tungsten mine had the potential to change everything.
It could allow the steel army to release 100% of its power.
Hence, even though the area between it and Dragon City was covered in bumpy mountain roads and ravines, making it difficult for them to provide supplies, Dragon Citizens still resolutely poured a lot of resources into it and built a modern base that could mine, refine, and create everything.
At this moment, the base outside Solitary Suspended City was facing its most arduous challenge.
In the beginning, there was only one Demonic Halberd Pig. It calmly crawled out of the fog and stood on a huge rock. It widened its red eyes and stared at the human base without blinking.
Then, the ground trembled, and the fog was torn apart. The squirming black shadows looked like dark clouds that rose from the cracks in the ground. Then, they gathered together to form a black tidal wave that swept toward the human industrial base, which was like a lone island.
Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, One-horned Beasts, and all sorts of monsters with the greatest charging power in the wild formed a rumbling cavalry. They moved faster and faster, and gradually, they formed arrows that could tear through everything.
Behind them, demonic shadows that were as large as mountains appeared one after another.
There were a total of five Tyrant Mammoths, and they played a violent war song at the same time. Bloodthirsty spirit energy magnetic fields overlapped with each other and descended on the monsters' heads, causing normal monsters like the Demonic Halberd Pigs to turn into terrifying killing machines.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The automated fighting fortresses around the human industrial base spat out hot flames.
Hundreds of fire snakes were like burning thorny whips. They wrapped around and tore apart the dozens of Demonic Halberd Pigs at the front.
The remaining monsters became even crazier and more valiant, and the monster horde quickly overwhelmed the battle fortress with their numbers.
In the deafening explosion, dozens of battle fortresses turned into horrifying fireballs.
Left with no other choice, the defenders chose to activate the self-destruction system inside the battle fortress remotely. With the blast and the flames that were thousands of degrees high, they cleared the area of death that was filled with mountains of corpses and oceans of blood.
But this only bought him a few minutes.
Soon, the Red Dragon Army and superhumans stationed in the industrial base were forced to load their guns and draw their weapons. They activated their spirit energy and burned their willpower to prepare for the monsters' fangs and roars!
…
In the swamp area more than 50 kilometers south of Dragon City.
Because this place was covered with forests and miasma, it had never been the main target of human attacks.
But half a year ago, an exploration team discovered a large Electrolight Mine in this place by accident, and soon, a few mega corporations invested in this place.
The Electric Light Stone was not a type of crystal suitable for cultivation.
However, it could output a very stable and powerful electrical energy.
Dragon City had always been short of electricity.
Otherwise, the facades of all the buildings in the city wouldn't be covered with solar panels.
Even so, the power went out every few days.
The lack of electricity in the residents' homes was not a big problem.
If the power went out and monsters invaded the city, the electromagnetic turrets, high-voltage power grids, and super high-powered searchlights would not be able to be used, and they would die.
And Dragon City planned to expand the city area by at least two times in the next five years.
They also wanted to build more than ten brand new heavy industrial bases.
The electricity shortage reached an astonishing figure, and it became the most fatal problem that limited Dragon City's development.
The Electric Light Stone Mine could effectively solve the problem of Dragon City's electricity shortage.
It was also a strategic spot that they could not afford to lose at all costs.
But now, countless rats, venomous snakes, and venomous lizards crawled out of the swamp and forest next to the Electric Light Stone Mine.
As the saying went, "Rats and snakes live together."
The endless rat horde and the snake horde that extended into the swamp like a carpet intersected with each other. They squirmed, hissed, and slithered about, becoming the defenders' most terrifying nightmare.
The rat horde and snake horde charged over.
There were a few herbivorous monsters on their path, but they did not manage to escape in time. They were covered by the monster horde and instantly turned into white skeletons.
This scene sent chills down the defenders' spines.
They could only use their fastest speed to fire all the napalm bombs they had.
Napalm bombs that used solid fuel were originally the best weapons to deal with pests.
But the rat horde and snake horde seemed to have received special modifications. Their vitality was much stronger than that of normal rat-type monsters and snake-type monsters.
Their fur and scales were clearly burning.
But they did not slow down.
The Beast Tide that was originally pitch-black had turned into flowing magma.
Soon, they charged into the human base with an unstoppable force.
…
The western side of Dragon City had a lot of water resources. The unique environment allowed it to grow nearly one hundred etherealized plants.
If they developed it into a large-scale plantation, all Dragon Citizens could eat green food that was rich in spirit energy.
It would also bring inestimable benefits to the growth of teenagers and the awakening of supernatural abilities.
At that moment, the insect horde that blotted out the sky swept past the crops that the humans had worked hard to grow and devoured all the seedlings that the botanists had been cultivating for a long time in the lab.
A few of the etherealized botanists rushed out of the defense circle in pain and tried to snatch the seedlings back, but they were surrounded by the insect horde. They were lifted into the air, and when they landed on the ground, they were skeletons drenched in blood.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The humans' anti-aircraft machine guns did not stop firing.
Nearly one thousand raging lines of fire nearly tore the sky to shreds.
But using machine gun bullets to kill the flying insect-type monsters was the same as using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill mosquitoes.
It was not like they did not achieve anything. The insect carcasses that fell from the sky soon piled up like a mountain.
But no matter how many insect-type monsters they killed, the insect horde's numbers and thickness did not seem to have decreased.
…
Shattered Starlake was to the north of Dragon City.
This was the new city that was developed the earliest in Dragon City. It had the most investment, and its strategic significance was also the most important.
It could be said that it was not wrong for Dragon Citizens to bet their future and fate on this new city.
At that moment, the people who were working hard in Shattered Starlake and constructing the city did not see the monsters.
But they heard a long howl that rang through the clouds.
It came from the most terrifying king of Monster Mountain Range, the tyrant of Apocalyptic Beasts — the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon!
The red clouds above Raging Waves, which had been peaceful for an entire year, were so red that they looked like they were bleeding. They started spinning slowly and turned into raging waves that burned fiercely.
The raging waves turned into a vortex. The vortex spun faster and faster, as if it had turned into a dimensional tunnel that led to the depths of hell.
The Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon took a vengeful step and crossed the road to hell to descend from the air!
…
Meng Chao and the veteran hunters who were carrying out their missions in the lair watched everything quietly.
Their retinas were burned by the poison spat by the monsters, and their eyes were bloodshot.
They were all veterans who had fought in the wild for half their lives.
But aside from Meng Chao, who had seen hellish scenes in the nightmares of his previous life, they had never seen anything like this before.
The others had never experienced something like this before.
And that was not the end.
When the monster horde attacked from outside the city …
Zombies and the undead appeared in three large residential areas with a lot of residents.
Even though there were not many of them, they had to mobilize a lot of manpower and resources to handle them with the utmost caution. Otherwise, they would trigger an avalanche-like chain reaction at any moment. When the number of zombies and undead reached one thousand, it would be incredibly difficult for them to control the situation.
"How could this be?"
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, who believed that he had fought against monsters his entire life, was a little dumbfounded. "Such a large monster horde and so many Apocalyptic Beasts are moving at the same time? They're fighting a pitched battle just like humans?"
"This is the difference between monsters and monster civilizations," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao sighed.
The monster civilization had finally completed its transformation and became one of the most terrifying enemies in his previous life.
Even if a single monster had great intelligence, due to the limitations of their living environment, they could not understand tactics, strategies, alliances, or the meaning of a social system.
Even the powerful Apocalyptic Beasts did not have a clear goal when they attacked Dragon City. Usually, they only attacked because they were provoked, for revenge, or just to vent their excessive desire to kill.
Such Apocalyptic Beasts could easily be ambushed by more than five Deity Realm superhumans. If they focused their fire on them, even if they had the power of the apocalypse, they would still die in regret.
But now, the monsters had a civilization and perhaps a social system as well. Even if they were compared to the past, their individual fighting strength did not change. In fact, since they lost a lot of habitats filled with spirit energy, their fighting strength had dropped a little.
But just the fact that they had learned how to fight together was enough to cause humans to be in a terrible situation and lose sight of everything else.
Besides, Meng Chao believed that the monster civilization's strategy was not just to surround them from all sides. They wanted to make the center of the city explode and make Golden Tooth Lair, which was Dragon City's toilet!
"Vice Director Nie, the monster civilization didn't attack earlier or later, but chose to attack when a large scale robbery happened in Dragon City and when the Deification Capsules appeared. This is definitely not a coincidence!"
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao spoke quickly. "Trust me, the lair is definitely the most important part of the monster civilization's plan. In fact, I highly suspect that the monsters' attacks from the perimeter aren't as fierce as we think they are. At the very least, some of the directions are definitely just a bluff.
"And Golden Tooth Lair is one of the monster civilization's main targets!"
