1199: Answer the phone

After Hong Lei opened his mouth and let people in, many of the first batch of survivors cursed inwardly.

However, thinking of Hong Lei's methods from before, these people didn't dare to openly stand out and refuse.

And when the iron gate opened and nearly a hundred people from outside surged in, the space near the iron net wall immediately became quite crowded.

Among the first batch of survivors who came in, there were originally five or six people with ulterior motives.

At this time, due to the influx of more people and the more complex situation, they had no choice but to lay low and prioritize self-preservation.

After so many entered within the iron net wall, over a dozen ferocious Zombies, like lions and tigers, suddenly pounced from the Darkness!

"Whoosh!"

The iron net wall trembled violently, and the Zombies outside the wall roared madly!

Many people in the crowd were so scared that they retreated in a hurry, screaming repeatedly.

"Puff puff puff ~"

At this moment, Peas were shot out from the Darkness.

The normal powerful bullets, without any weakening, passed directly through the holes in the iron net wall and hit the heads of the Zombies outside the wall!

Visible to the naked eye, the heads of several ferocious and terrifying Zombies were directly dented inwards!

Along with another round of concentrated fire, two or three Zombies slowly fell down.

After the third round of volleys, basically all the Zombies were eliminated.

Only the survivors within the wall who witnessed all this widened their eyes one by one, watching this scene in shock.

Because the surroundings were pitch black, and the Pea Shooters were thirty to fifty meters away, the crowded survivors only saw the Zombies outside the wall falling to the ground and dying one by one under several attacks!

"Da Hu, keep an eye on the situation. If any more survivors come, accept them all, but you must ensure all survivors are within the attack range of the Pea Shooters."

Hong Lei patted Da Hu's shoulder and instructed.

In order to extract as much value as possible from the System's mission, it was naturally better to take in more survivors.

For this, there was no need to even care what kind of people they were, as long as they were alive.

And keeping these survivors within the range of the Pea Shooters was also to prevent anyone from hiding that they were bitten and then turning into Zombies to threaten others.

If someone who hid being bitten turned into a Zombie later, the Pea Shooters could also deal with it immediately.

Unfortunately, there weren't enough people on hand.

Only Da Hu was someone he could trust.

Giving instructions like this was a bit difficult.

Thinking of this issue, Hong Lei walked alone towards the RV.

Many of the survivors behind looked towards Hong Lei in the distance.

The move just now, they could be sure without thinking too much, must have been some kind of weapon belonging to the Master of this villa!

With over a dozen Zombies dying like this, Hong Lei's mystery and power quickly intimidated everyone present.

At least in the short term, no one among these people dared to cause trouble.

...

After Hong Lei arranged for Da Hu to watch the survivors over there, he came to the RV himself.

Picking up the backpack containing the rifle, Hong Lei was about to assemble the gun.

But he unexpectedly heard the channel phone in the RV vibrating continuously, ringing.

"Click ~" The call connected.

Before Hong Lei could speak, a rapid and clear voice came from the phone.

"Commander Headquarters, this is the Seventh Brigade, Eleventh Regiment. Our Army made a major error while carrying out a mission in Nianyu County. We encountered two Forbidden Creatures and a large number of Dark Creatures on site. We urgently need fire support!"

"The team escorting the survivors away has also encountered threats from monsters and needs manpower support!"

"Our location is in the Northern Side of Nianyu County, near Yunfeng Mountain!"

"Army communication?" Hong Lei listened to the voice on the phone, his expression surprised, and he immediately reacted.

The Army carrying out a mission in Nianyu County, and currently encountering a large number of Dark Creatures - wasn't that the Army in the direction of his villa's Northern Side?!

Before Hong Lei could figure out how to answer, the phone in his hand produced a series of chaotic sounds, as if the signal was being interfered with, and it disconnected directly.

"What kind of situation is this? I can't be occupying military resources and delaying their war efforts..."

...

Northern Side.

The Soldiers in the mountain forest, at this moment, were covering their heads, suppressing their low growls.

And a thousand meters away from them, the giant python with two heads and eyes all over its body was emitting waves of invisible sonic attacks from its mouth!

"Bang ~"

The communication equipment protected by the Soldiers shattered one after another!

"Commander, the communication equipment is broken, but the signal has been sent to the Commander Headquarters!" After the sonic waves passed, the communicator, covering his bleeding ears, reported hoarsely.

"Alright, everyone hold on! It won't be long before help arrives!" Old Yun gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

...

Hundreds of kilometers away.

On a plain, stood a vast military camp!

Inside the military camp, a large number of Soldiers were training.

And the Soldiers in the communication department were like being on a battlefield, completely busy due to the exchange of information from all over the Dragon Country!

"Has there been any information from Nianyu County yet?" In a dark room, A Man's voice carried a hint of eeriness, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it!

"Reporting, Commander, the Seventh Brigade, Eleventh Regiment has not reported any information." The person who answered had a stiff expression, and wisps of black mist were also emanating from his body!

"Strange." In the room, the Commander sitting behind the desk muttered in confusion: "I thought they would at least be able to send us a distress message from over there."

"Then we could deceive them into thinking support was coming, make them hold their ground until they were all dead."

"But the difference isn't big. The Forbidden has already appeared, the plan is bound to proceed smoothly. Once that area is completely tainted by Darkness, it will be honored to become the place of Our Lord's descent!"

"Go down. You don't need to pay attention to this matter anymore. Go promote the two Soldiers from Jiangyi City who survived the pile of Soldier corpses and give them two high positions with great power."

"Commander, wouldn't doing this be a bit too obvious? We've already promoted eight people using this method before." The subordinate said with some hesitation.

"What? Shouldn't warriors who survive the battlefield be promoted?"

"No, this subordinate thinks that on battlefields where there's no chance of survival, one or two people frequently surviving will arouse suspicion among Humans."

"If they investigate this clue and find out that our Dark Avatars resurrected the Soldiers, disguised them as survivors, and infiltrated the military camp as heroes, it will be a chain reaction, and many Dark Avatars will be exposed!"

"Our Dark Avatars are Our Lord's most deeply hidden Dark Creatures. Even other Dark Creatures cannot sense our existence. If we are exposed, no amount of merit might be able to appease Our Lord's wrath!"

Under the subordinate's earnest voice, the Commander pondered slightly: "What you said is also true. We are Our Lord's most deeply hidden trump card. At this stage, with other Dark Creatures in front, we don't need to rush for success. Everything should prioritize concealment. Then you can oversee the arrangements."

"Yes, Commander." The subordinate respectfully responded and then withdrew.

...

"What kind of existence are Forbidden Creatures? Did that huge explosion in the Northern Side not deal with the real threat?" Hong Lei put down the phone and only now began to process the information from the call.

From the situation, the Northern Side must be very serious!

Those people said they needed support and then hung up. They couldn't really think he was the military region and that the military region would send troops to help, right?

The real Army didn't have this message. If those guys held their ground, they wouldn't only not wait for support, but they were even destined to die in battle!

"I don't have the ability to help now, so I'll just pretend to be dead." Looking at the phone, Hong Lei muttered to himself.

Lighting a cigarette, he took two puffs.

Afterward, he irritably extinguished the cigarette butt: "System, I want to draw!"

As he finished speaking, a large spinning wheel with a golden Dragon coiling around it appeared before A Man's eyes!

"Not this one, I'll do the ordinary draw."

When the ordinary draw wheel appeared, the six familiar rewards were displayed on it.

[Thank you for your patronage] (Remaining: 73)

[One Big Mouth Flower] (Remaining: 3)

[One Tall Nut] (Remaining: 5)

[One Sunflower] (Remaining: 9)

[Potent Aphrodisiac] (Remaining: 15)

[One Corn Thrower] (Remaining: 1)

Refreshing rewards each time requires consuming 1 energy point.

Current ordinary draw chances: 13 times.

"I'll do three draws first to see if I should continue drawing." Hong Lei reached out and clicked the start button three times consecutively.

"Buzz buzz buzz ~"

The moment the large spinning wheel began to turn, the rewards flashed past the pointer one by one.

When the pointer reached [Potent Aphrodisiac], it slid slowly.

"It can't be this one, it should be the next one." Muttering to himself, Hong Lei looked at the next prize.

The next prize was [Corn Thrower]!

Could it be?

Is it really going to?

"Ding ~ Congratulations Host, you have obtained one Corn Thrower."

When the System's broadcast sound arrived, Hong Lei even felt a sense of unreality.

"I actually drew it! One shot, straight to the soul!" As his palm slightly sank, before Hong Lei's eyes, a Corn Thrower had already appeared, growing in a flowerpot and looking harmless.

[Corn Thrower]: Frontal defense is meaningless for it as a thrower. A small skill with a probability boost allows it to occasionally throw non-corn type projectiles, freezing the opponent for a period of time.

Overall evaluation: A good long-range attack plant.

The evaluation wasn't brilliant, but for Hong Lei, this wasn't the point!

Was he looking forward to this thing because he was looking forward to its ability itself?

Of course not!

This thing is the cornerstone of the Corn Cannon, that's the most important thing!

"Ding ~ Congratulations Host, you have obtained Thank you for your patronage * 2."

The subsequent broadcast sounds of the three consecutive draws appeared, but Hong Lei no longer cared much about them.

He had already obtained what he needed. Even ten more Thank you for your patronage wouldn't extinguish the excitement in his heart!

Now that he had one plant, there was only one Corn Thrower left!

As long as he got one more Corn Thrower, he could officially activate the ultimate weapon mentioned in the System's evaluation, the Corn Cannon!

Also because he drew the Corn Thrower from this batch of rewards, Hong Lei's interest in other things decreased significantly.

Glancing at the remaining ten draw chances, Hong Lei began to refresh the items.
