62: Defensive battle!

The situation in the Capital is extremely dire.

The combustion efficiency of Gunpowder has been continuously decreasing since Zhang Hui reported it.

This is a problem with the underlying physics.

Although it has also spread to Nuclear Energy, the decay of Gunpowder is faster.

The range of Missiles is getting shorter day by day, and their power is weakening day by day.

Some radicals in the Military suggest directly dropping mushrooms while they can still explode, launching them all out.

Too radical.

Radiation will bring even more ferocious Mutations; mushrooms are just drinking poison to quench thirst!

Coupled with the crisis brought by this rain, the overall situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse!

---The Person in Charge of the Xiang River drove Ye Su along the water system.

Soon.

They saw the Demon Tide in the Xiang River basin.

Mo Xiaoyu directly gasped in shock.

Goodness.

The entire river surface, stretching for several kilometers, was constantly churning.

A dense mass of Fish Demons was moving downstream along the water system.

Such a large scale was enough to make one's scalp tingle at a glance.

"Originally, we didn't want to deal with it."

The person in charge said;

"If they want to go to the Sea, let them go."

"However, as they gathered more and more, they began to constantly harass along the way."

"We could still handle the Floods they caused."

"But if they need to feed---"

At this point, the person in charge couldn't continue.

It was still wishful thinking.

Lake itself is an area extremely rich in Aquatic Products; they should have discovered the large number of Fish Demons from the start.

Reporting it now might lead the higher-ups to consider using mushrooms to reduce their numbers, given this point.

Even if it's drinking poison to quench thirst, they have to do it.

Deal with the immediate situation first.

However, now it's a bit inappropriate.

Cities are all built along water systems.

You can't drop mushrooms anymore!

It can only be said that not wanting to cause trouble for the higher-ups at such a time leads to even bigger trouble in the end!

The Xiang River is in a tough spot.

While secretly gathering manpower, they are also seeking help everywhere.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ye Su from the City arrived uninvited.

"Has this situation been reported to the Capital yet?"

Ye Su asked.

"Not yet..."

The person in charge said.

Ye Su twitched the corner of his eye;

Six!

Clearly, the Xiang River wanted to handle it themselves, as there are Troops stationed in the cities now.

But this situation...

"Don't delay, and don't think about other things; report directly to the Capital," Ye Su said;

"Once these Fish Demons come ashore to hunt and feed, it's over!"

Originally, they thought the Great Turtle was acting alone,

but they didn't expect it to be this situation.

With so many Fish Demons, once they come ashore---without enough defensive power, the entire City will be eaten empty!

The Person in Charge of the Xiang River had no choice but to report to the Capital.

Afterward, the Capital scolded the Person in Charge of the Xiang River harshly.

But scolding aside, they still had to deal with the matter.

A large number of Troops were transferred over, along with a considerable number of Professionals.

---Riverside tent.

"Hey, Ye Su."

Cui Hu greeted Ye Su.

"You're here too?"

Ye Su asked in surprise.

At this time, shouldn't Cui Hu be guarding the Capital?

"It's all because of the pressure."

Cui Hu said;

"Qinghai, Poyang, Taihu, and other places reported the situation early on, just like the Coastal Cities, and fought from the start, now stabilized."

"But no one expected problems here at Lake."

"The timing is terrible; the firepower a few days ago was much stronger than now."

Cui Hu was complaining; the situation at the Xiang River was indeed annoying.

Reporting early would have made it easier to solve a few days ago.

Now?

It's turned into this!

The decline in firepower means more casualties.

"How many Professionals are there in the Capital now?"

Ye Su asked.

"Naturally Awakened ones are only about 300, but there are 1,000 Professionals who Awakened Acquired through potions, and more will follow."

Cui Hu said.

Professionals driven by potions will peak in a few days.

After all, potions need time to affect human evolution.

"At this stage, all treasure chests found are given to Professionals to open profession scrolls," Cui Hu continued;

"There won't be any empty chests for you to gamble on resources."

"My Physique is at 22 points, barely breaking through the 20-point Physique limit, while team members like Guan Li have just broken through to 21 points!"

Evolution is too slow.

It can't compare to plants and animals!

"What is the Capital's plan?" Ye Su asked.

Now that the Great Turtle is among the Fish Demons, Ye Su also needs to borrow official power.

So he first inquired about the official plan.

"Defense is the priority."

Cui Hu said;

"You know, with your Suzhou and Hangzhou's production lines running at full capacity, the number of Professionals nationwide will keep increasing."

"If we drag it out for another ten days or half a month, there will be hundreds of thousands of Professionals nationwide. Maybe there won't be enough profession scrolls, but they'll still be much stronger than ordinary people."

"Gathering them can accomplish great things."

"Now---"

"With firepower declining, if a real fight breaks out, there might be heavy casualties."

That's the overall situation.

Time is money.

Earlier, they fought with Sea Demons and, relying on firepower, obtained a large number of corpses.

Suzhou and Hangzhou has already maxed out its production capacity.

As long as they proceed step by step, the number of Professionals nationwide will keep growing.

It's also a way to achieve rapid evolution through artificial intervention.

But Ye Su can't wait; his schedule is packed.

After dealing with the Great Turtle here, he still has to find that Martial Arts Scripture in Russia.

Then there's the Shennong Forbidden Zone in four days.

Finally, there's the matter of the wide-area silence returning to port.

Ye Su wants to gather all resources.

But here---spending a lot of time here is unwise!

Frowning, he turned to look at the A vast and mighty swarm of fish demons, feeling slightly irritated.

Suddenly.

The Fish Demon groupstalled.

Countless Fish Demons raised their heads above the water.

Then the Great Turtle surfaced, its head held high.

Immediately after.

A low hum sounded.

The frequency and tone of this sound were very similar to the one heard in the Shennong Forbidden Zone.

A command horn!

This is the command horn of a King Life!

Not only Ye Su, but Cui Hu also changed expression, as he had heard this sound before.

"Damn it, the Fish Demons are coming ashore!"

Cui Hu's face turned grim.

Then the two rushed to the Embankment, ignoring the rain soaking them, and Watching the fish demon tide's movements with bated breath..

They saw a large number of Fish Demons Begin to change direction, trying to land on the Embankment.

"Enemy attack!"

Cui Hu shouted.

He charged straight toward the front of the Embankment.

Guan Li and other team members rushed out from other tents, following Cui Hu's steps, charging forward.

On the other side of the Embankment is the City.

Once the Fish Demons rushing into the city, it will be a devastating blow.

The Person in Charge of the Xiang River had already collapsed on the ground.

This is a major decision-making error.

A piercing Air Raid Siren sounded.

The Military began setting up defensive lines.

Professionals were also organized into special teams.

A defense battle was about to begin immediately.

"Captain Ye, we---"

Mo Xiaoyu came to Ye Su's side.

"We're joining too!"

Ye Su said.

His eyes were fixed on that Great Turtle!
