There were also more and more types of weapons. The second generation Gauss Rifle and second generation battle armor were already in production, and other types of weapons were constantly appearing. The experts were practically looking for ways to kill exotic beasts all night long, from designing to putting them into use on the battlefield. It only took them a day to complete the process.
If it was useful, they would expand production. If it was useless, they would abandon it.
But in front of Transcendents, it was difficult for humans to find technology that could play a decisive role. If it was easy to find, then Shen Yi would not have to come to this world.
And Shen Yi did not just stand by and watch.
At this moment, in the Common Light, there were already four Pillars of Extraordinary. Every day, brave soldiers were sent here to start their challenge against Transcendents.
And there were more and more Towers of Trials and Ovens.
And the biggest surprise was —
People found that Rank 1 exotic beasts could be eaten!
After a period of time after death, the power of Transcendents would gradually dissipate from these corpses. They would no longer be as hard and difficult to process as they were at first.
Although it was still very different from unmutated animal meat, as long as it was processed, it could provide an endless supply of food for people.
And it was rich in nutrients.
Some residual power in it was also beneficial to humans. However, this benefit was difficult to detect. This was observed by Shen Yi through the wizard's means.
But other than that, the rate of increase of the exotic beasts could be described as terrifying.
Finally —
The first city of the three camps fell.
In a small country of the Northern Alliance.
Under the attack of a Rank 2 exotic beast and four to five hundred Rank 1 exotic beasts, this small city with a population of only seven million was finally unable to resist.
Soldiers died in battle, the city walls collapsed, and huge monsters wreaked havoc in the city.
And all the Transcendents and reinforcements of this small country were all gathered in their capital, which was under attack by two Rank 2 exotic beasts and thousands of Rank 1 exotic beasts. They were powerless against the fate of this small city.
This seemed to be the beginning.
In the same day, more and more small cities in the Northern Alliance ran out of ammunition and guns.
Some of these cities had even fallen into chaos. People panicked and rushed to the streets. Some wanted to escape, some fell into hysterical fear.
Even many soldiers had lost the courage to continue fighting.
Because there was no hope in sight.
They wanted to ask for reinforcements.
But in the emergency of a global war, who could help?
Even Shen Yi was powerless to do anything.
He could defend against the first wave of attacks, but if he ran out of bullets, he would not be able to defend against the endless second wave, third wave … Moreover, there would only be more and more cities like this.
"The speed of nirvana is getting faster and faster." Shen Yi looked at everything that happened in this world. At this moment, it had been less than two months since he came to this world.
Strange beasts could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Mutations seemed to be happening in every corner of the world.
"Captain, would you like to take a look at the future?" Clove's voice suddenly came.
"Future?" Shen Yi frowned. "You should know that I can't see the future that I've interfered with. What I can see is a future where I won't take any action."
In other words, Shen Yi could see it.
It was the future of "if he left now".
This would have been quite useful in the previous world because the time of the natural disasters would not change because of his existence.
But in this world, it was different.
Maybe he strengthened an Extraordinaire again, and this Extraordinaire killed a strange beast that could have become the Beast King. Then, the future would change.
In such a situation, there were considerable variables in the future that could be seen.
"I just want to know, if we do nothing, how long can the civilization of this world last in this war. I want to calculate in more detail the probability of their final victory and the number of survivors." Clove's voice sounded a little different from usual.
It was deeper.
"Are you depressed?" Shen Yi seemed to have sensed something.
"…" Clove was silent for a moment, and admitted. "Yes."
"Tell me, how do you feel?"
Shen Yi's gaze seemed to cross space and stared at Clove's soul.
"I can see every single one of them." Clove's voice sounded a little lost. "Most of them are working very hard. The soldiers will charge into the battlefield without hesitation. The workers will do their best in production. The scientists have achieved miracles that they can achieve. The Extraordinaires fight crazily. The old, the children, the women … The courage and unity they show is not much worse than in the previous world, but …"
"But, they may still be defeated, and it will be a crushing defeat. They will be defeated to the point where the entire civilization is only left with the two million people sheltering here." Shen Yi finished Clove's words.
"… Yes." Clove said, "Captain, I think, if they still fail despite all their efforts, then the ones who will fail are not them … but us. We didn't bring true hope."
This was the reason why Clove was depressed.
She calculated the probability of their failure.
It was very high.
The hope brought by the breakthrough in technology was like a fake bubble. They did have the capital to fight, but the only difference was whether they would die in battle or die without any resistance.
But, they worked so hard.
She could see every single one of them, including every soldier on the battlefield, every Extraordinaire in battle. Their anger, their battle, their will, Clove could see all of it.
She knew their names, knew their expressions before they died, knew the family they missed.
They were not numbers to her.
"Clove." The corner of Shen Yi's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. "Do you regret having emotions and a soul?"
"No." Clove answered quickly this time. "Until now, I truly feel that I am standing by your side."
"Indeed, I have the same feeling." This was the reason why Shen Yi smiled. "You have already felt the emotions I once felt, the hatred for my own powerlessness and failure. So, you can understand me now."
Clove's depression at the moment was because she saw people trying their best but still failing in the end. Shen Yi's depression was because he saw himself trying his best to save but still failing in the end.
Although there were slight differences, the essence was the same.
They were all thinking about the goal of saving the world.
Shen Yi was happy because his emotions were understood.
It was also because Clove was gradually becoming his true companion.
