Under the gray sky, the mutant army was attacking this numbered city like a black tide. The Warriors guarding the city were in despair and pain.
When these numbered cities were built, they had taken into consideration the independence of each city. They had chosen isolated areas. They didn't expect these cities to become their Achilles' heel.
The city was surrounded, and there were countless xenogeneics on all sides. The sky was filled with disasters, and they had no choice but to stay there for an entire month.
At first, no one thought much of it. After all, there was a real super family stationed here. There was also the military. The wandering magic users all hid and observed the situation.
Half a month ago, the ferocious wave of Mutants had almost swallowed City 6878. At that time, the people who were not involved in the situation had all realized that if they did not help the Wei family resist this wave, everyone would be trapped here forever.
After the fall of the Disaster Wall, the mutant tide was far more terrifying than they had imagined. Even the super families with countless resources had a hard time resisting.
The Wei Family had been thriving in recent years. As one of the Bai Family's few followers, they had obtained a large amount of resources that made others jealous. They had also successfully entered the Alliance of Families. In the surrounding numbered cities, they were a force to be reckoned with.
But this time, the mutant tide almost destroyed the Wei Family.
The elite troops they had sent out to ask for help were all killed before they could even break through the enemy's first line of defense. Wei Zhong sent out a distress signal on his communicator. He was shocked to find that their numbered city was the only one that was still intact.
The other dozen cities had already been breached. Blood flowed like rivers and corpses were piled up. It was a tragic sight.
The Wei Family had eight players, including Wei Zhong. There were six guest players. The head of the military was a level-3 guardian. There was one more player among the wandering magic users. At the moment, the sixteen of them were gathered in the hall. The sound of cannonballs was incessant. The sixteen of them all looked solemn as they waited for Wei Zhong to speak.
Finally, the wandering magic user couldn't take it anymore. He asked, "Brother Wei Zhong, what is the situation? How long will it take for the Bai Family's reinforcements to arrive? "
"Yeah, City 6878 and the surrounding numbered cities are level-2 military fortresses of the Subcontinent. Are we going to give up just like that? If we really can't make it, we can only choose to give up on this place and leave as soon as possible. " One of the guest players said in a low voice, "Everyone has seen it. After one month, the number of Mutants has only increased. We can't even kill them all. The available combat power in the city has decreased. If this war continues, it will be over sooner or later."
Hearing him say that he was giving up, everyone's expression changed.
Apart from that wandering player, their foundations were all in City 6878, including the large amount of resources in their hands, their families, and so on. If they chose to give up, it meant that they would abandon everything and break out of the encirclement as players, escaping alone.
This kind of loss was no different from suicide.
They all turned to look at Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong heaved a sigh. "Things aren't looking good for the Bai family either. City 0001 is doing fine, but the rest of the continent is in a state of war. There are too many people asking for help. I can't take care of them all. I have asked the alliance for help, but … there are too many super families like ours. We can't help them all."
"Alas."
It was an expected answer.
It had been less than half a year since the fall of the Great Wall of Calamity, and the seven continents were about to fall. This was a situation that no one had foreseen.
Toppling the old Polar Night, destroying the lighthouse, suppressing the new Polar Night, indirectly destroying the defense of the Great Wall of Calamity … Wei Zhong realized that all these things were targeted at Li Xiang.
The super families were too afraid of this young man who had suddenly risen to prominence.
But in the end, all of their moves were bad moves.
Now, Li Xiang was resurrected. He went to the 16th branch family and killed one of the main organizers of the hunt for Ming Xu, the 16th Ancestor Bai Luo. It was said that he went to the Ji family to kill Ji Zhanxue. Even the old minister of the military couldn't stop him.
His revenge had begun.
When the Great Wall of Calamity fell, they were shocked to realize how much pressure that place had shouldered for the seven continents.
The current situation couldn't be salvaged unless the level-9 players returned.
"Then what should we do?" The military player asked. "The military is already overwhelmed. We have to make our own decisions. I've contacted all the troops that I can, but there's no response."
"We'll continue to defend for a week. If there's no response, we'll evacuate the entire city. From today onwards, everyone can start to plan the evacuation." Wei Zhong slammed the table and made the decision.
As soon as the meeting ended, Wei Zhong quickly rushed back to the Wei family's land. They had settled down in City 6878 for generations. After so many years of operation, they were deeply rooted. If possible, he wasn't willing to give up such a good territory.
But if they continued to defend, there would only be one outcome. They would be destroyed along with the city.
There weren't many young people left in the family's land.
They had all gone to the battlefield in the previous wars. Some of them never returned.
As soon as he stepped into the family's land, an old player in the family crawled out from the shadows on the ground. He was covered in a black cloak and his breath was long.
"Ah Zhong, how's the situation?"
It was an old but powerful voice.
Wei Zhong shook his head and sighed. Then, determination returned to his eyes. "Pass down my order. From today onwards, all the Wei family members who are still guarding the city outside are to evacuate quickly. I'll arrange for them to leave in batches."
"It's already at this point …?" The old player sighed. Then, his voice became extremely solemn. "If that's the case, there's no time to lose. I'll arrange it immediately."
"Elder Liu, where's that girl Linlin?" Wei Zhong stopped him.
The old player replied, "Linlin has returned from the black market. The atmosphere in the city has been very bad recently. She's been maintaining the stability of the black market."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Wei Zhong nodded. He entered rows of magnificent super buildings like the wind and came to Wei Linlin's courtyard.
Wei Linlin was busy dealing with the evacuation and mobilization of the tavern's forces. When she saw her father, she quickly stood up and bowed.
She was no longer the innocent girl from many years ago. The experienced look between her brows showed that she had changed.
"Father, how's it going?"
"Linlin, take your people and quickly arrange for the evacuation of the Wei family members. We have to give up City 6878. We must leave before the complete lockdown." Wei Zhong's voice was heavy as he looked at his daughter.
Wei Linlin was stunned. An expression of reluctance and heartache flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal.
She had been operating here for many years. Giving up this city was a huge blow to the tavern's forces. However, she quickly adjusted her state of mind, which made Wei Zhong quite satisfied.
"I want you to go to the Bai family and follow Dong Xue. Are his people rushing here?" Wei Zhong knew that his daughter and Bai Dongxue had feelings for each other. Although she was infatuated with Li Xiang for a period of time, in the end, those feelings disappeared like the moon in the water.
The gap between them was too big. Moreover, Li Xiang and Ming Xu had done things for each other that had shocked the seven continents. Wei Linlin clearly knew that she had no hope.
"Yes, Brother Dong Xue will arrive in about a week. I want to wait for him. Let me arrange for the Wei family, father." Wei Linlin nodded.
Wei Zhong smiled with relief, "Linlin, you've really grown up."
He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that his daughter met the young master, but at least, her growth couldn't be separated from the young master. Perhaps this was what it meant to have gains and losses.
Three days later.
A giant Abyss Gate suddenly opened in the sky above City 6878.
Like an endless ocean, the door frame was surrounded by intricate deep blue patterns. The waves flowed along with the aura. Then, the door to the abyss opened abruptly. Countless Deep Ones descended from the sky and landed in the city!
To be able to open a Abyss Gate in the seven continents, it meant that the other party was an awakened Monarch Disaster!
Whether it was a Dominator or a new personified Disaster, this was not an existence they could fight against.
The overwhelming number of Deep Ones rushed into City 6878, which had been defended for more than a month, and began a massacre.
The doomsday-like scene caused the soldiers who were still defending to lose all hope.
The strength and speed of these Deep Ones were far beyond what normal Mutants could compare to. They were extremely excited and bloodthirsty, each one of them was as strong as a Magician.
If they hadn't evacuated most of the Wei family members in advance, this shockwave alone would have been enough to make the Wei family fall from being a Super Family.
The Deep Ones slaughtered the humans all over the place. At the same time, the tightly shut Stronghold Gate opened. The rolling black fog in the sky also became thicker.
The low-ranked calamities no longer hesitated and fearfully rushed towards the city.
Wei Zhong saw this and clenched his fists.
As players, only the rogue organization managed to sneak away. The others held on until this moment, not giving up.
Wei Zhong said that he would wait for a week to confirm if there were any reinforcements. After that, he would completely give up on this city and these innocent people.
Since he said a week, they would hold on until the end, not a day less.
But the enemy's terror was beyond their tolerance.
The sudden opening of the Abyss Gate was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
As the Deep Ones flew down from the sky, Wei Zhong knew that today, everyone was going to be trapped here.
The Great Wall of Disaster back then faced an even more terrifying and desperate situation than now. They desperately waited for reinforcements, only to be screwed over by their own people.
Wei Zhong knew how tragic that battle was, he had seen how miserable it was from the military's footage.
Batch after batch of defenders fell, dying in despair. Almost half of the New Polar Night's elite army was wiped out. In the end, they had no choice but to rely on Li Xiang's desperate attack to repel the Disasters.
Out of 10 deaths, not a single survivor was left alive.
After experiencing this feeling, he fell silent.
The other Super Families and organizations must have felt the same.
If, if only some of them weren't involved, even if they didn't help the New Polar Night, perhaps today wouldn't be like this.
There was no medicine for regret, this was Li Xiang's revenge.
Bam!
A ferocious Deep One was blasted apart by Wei Zhong's punch. The dark green liquid was extremely corrosive, but he couldn't care less. Right now, he could only defend the clan's land with all his might, giving the Wei family members who hadn't evacuated yet a chance to live.
All the Wei family members formed a circle around the clan's land, silently welcoming the giant black fog in the sky.
Wei Linlin, who was ordered to stay in the courtyard, looked at the black fog, an inexplicable fear rose in her heart, it was as if her blood had frozen.
She couldn't make a sound. Just as her consciousness was about to be swallowed up, she was suddenly patted on the back, her consciousness returning to her body.
That was close!
Elder Liu said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, that's the black fog where the Disasters are hiding, you can't look at it directly."
Wei Linlin was sweating. She was almost a Level-3 Magician, but she couldn't even look at the Disasters directly?
Thinking about how her father and the others had to face so many terrifying enemies, her heart sank.
Bai Dongxue was probably still on the way. He said that it would take at least seven days to arrive, and only three days had passed. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to hold on until today.
"Elder Liu, if … if there's no turning back, I hope you can destroy my body after I commit suicide. I don't want to become their food." Wei Linlin said resolutely.
Elder Liu nodded.
In an instant, the giant black fog came crashing down.
A meatball with countless arms swooped down, heading straight for the Wei family's land. Wei Zhong jumped up high and slammed it to the side, but Wei Zhong's blood was in turmoil, he couldn't recover for a while.
Calamities fell one after another. The maximum number of Calamities that the 15 players could deal with was five Calamities that were Rank E and below. Fortunately, these Calamities were all Rank F and E
However, when the sixth, seventh, all the way to the tenth landed, their expressions changed.
The number of enemies had doubled, this meant that there was no miracle to speak of in this battle.
Wei Zhong took a deep breath, and was the first to step forward.
A Disaster in the form of a werewolf swung its sharp claws at Elder Liu. Its body was covered in black fur, and its eyes shone with the light of human intelligence. It was obviously a humanoid Disaster.
"Elder Liu, be careful." Wei Linlin was surrounded by 30 Level-3 Magicians. Some Deep Ones had already rushed into the family's land. She couldn't do anything but watch as everyone fought for her.
Boom!
The werewolf Disaster's strength and speed were above Elder Liu's. Its thick fur could easily block Elder Liu's weapons. The Hitman's powerful attack was completely countered by its high defense.
Elder Liu was sent flying by a slap, his blood was unstable. Before he could rush into the shadows, his chest was pierced by a sharp claw, and he was lifted from the ground.
Bang!
A beam of light shot out from the Origin Substance Spear.
Elder Liu used this force to retreat. His black cloak was shattered, and his chest was red. He panted heavily as he stared at the Werewolf Disaster.
However, it revealed a relaxed expression, and its expression was full of ridicule.
It was toying with him!
Elder Liu was furious when he realized this, but he gritted his teeth and endured it when he thought about how he could buy time for Wei Linlin.
After being knocked down for the sixth time, Elder Liu's limbs were torn to shreds, but the werewolf Disaster still didn't kill him.
This time, he walked towards Wei Linlin who was surrounded by a group of Deep Ones.
"Bastard!"
Only three of the 30 Level-3 Magicians were left, and all of them were injured. The Deep Ones were numerous, but with the Disaster present, they didn't rush to attack Wei Linlin.
Seeing the werewolf Disaster getting closer, Wei Linlin was about to kill herself with the gun when a blue beam of light suddenly fell from the sky!
She saw the werewolf Disaster's eyes flash with extreme fear.
Such a human-like expression made her a little stunned.
Boom!
The werewolf Disaster dodged the fatal shot as quickly as it could.
The blue beam of light hit the ground, and a bottomless pit appeared.
Li Xiang landed on the ground, and in the next second, he was beside the werewolf Disaster.
"Roar …" The sound in its throat was strangled.
With a slap, Li Xiang sent the Werewolf Calamity, who had been suppressing Elder Liu, flying away. It crashed through a dozen super buildings and disappeared.
