164: Guarding the North City
North District.
Inside the City, the streets were quite deserted.
Following the Official announcements, most civilians had not gone out, staying quietly at home.
But during this afternoon.
Many people noticed something abnormal.
Since that notice, the Official side had made no further moves.
Although the notice mentioned a small-scale Zombie group, it shouldn't be to the point where no situation reports were given, right?
Aside from the situation with the North District Officials.
Most people also discovered the problem that they couldn't connect to other Base Cities at all!
Taking out electronic devices.
Taking a look.
They could only browse the network within the North District.
While browsing, the place with the most traffic was the City's main forum.
The situation on the forum was not easy.
"I just saw it, the City walls are full of Soldiers!"
"The Soldiers are directly unleashing their thermal weapons outside the City. I'm sure the number of Zombies is definitely not small!"
"The Officials must have lied to us! They are hiding something from us!"
"Heaven! Quickly go see the Official updates, something big has happened!"
Suddenly.
Seeing those words concerning the Officials.
Many people quickly switched to the North District's Official section.
The update posted two minutes ago.
Citizens of the North District, all 5.02 million of you, I am Zheng Xun, the Military District Commander.
First, I need to apologize to everyone.
Regarding the situation with the Zombies outside the City and our current predicament in the North District, I have been hiding something.
The true number of Zombies outside the City is initially estimated to be in the tens of millions!
And our Soldiers in the North District are less than 300,000, which is a huge disparity.
However, the truly vast difference is that we lack the cutting-edge power to contend with the Zombie army.
It is necessary to explain here that as early as when the Zombie tide arrived, the seven Diamond level high-level Martial Artists of the North District all left by plane.
This is also why these messages are being released by me.
Without cutting-edge combat power, we might not even last through tonight.
Other Base Cities haven't considered extending a helping hand.
Therefore, here, I hope that the civilian experts within the City who see this and understand the current difficult situation of the North District can contribute some of your strength... Let us fight together to the front lines!
This not-so-brief message impacted everyone's hearts.
They originally thought it was a small matter, but who would have thought it would directly escalate into such a crisis of annihilation!
They even had to recruit people from the populace.
How could anyone remain calm in such a grim situation!
"Volunteering citizens, please proceed to the nearby City walls.
We need everyone's strength."
On the streets.
From the electronic horns of the patrolling police cars, words that slightly shook people's hearts emerged one after another.
"Roar!!"
Under the pitch-black night sky, an extremely frantic roar suddenly appeared in the sky!
Several searchlights within the City quickly converged.
The source of the sound was in mid-air!
The moment the lights locked on, everyone who witnessed it felt their pupils tremble violently!
They saw.
In the sky, that Fifth-tier Zombie Pterodactyl was actually grasping a lean Zombie with dark, decaying, coiled muscles and flying tentacles on its back with its two feet!
A Fifth-tier high-level Zombie, Toxic Frenzy.
This Zombie Pterodactyl was going to throw Toxic Frenzy into the City!
Toxic Frenzy, as a high-level Fifth-tier Zombie, was terrifying because of its super strong virus spreading ability!
As long as it fell into the City, the entire interior of the City would definitely be replaced by new Zombies one by one!
"We can't let it get inside the City!"
This thought was the inner thought of everyone who saw this scene.
It's just that the opponent was a Fifth-tier Zombie, corresponding to the Human Diamond level!
With such a descent, who in the City could stop it?!
Finally.
Under the illumination of the searchlights, amidst everyone's expressions of splitting eyes.
The Zombie Pterodactyl in the sky released its claws...
"Roar!"
The Fifth-tier Zombie named Toxic Frenzy, with an excited roar, plummeted straight towards the ground!
As long as it reached the Human City, it could spread the virus without restraint, unveiling this feast for the Zombie army!
However.
Just at this extremely crucial moment.
A rich purple saber light, spanning tens of meters, like the only captivating brilliance in the Darkness, shot out from the City in an instant!
This strike was too fast, and too terrifying!
The Fifth-tier Zombie in mid-air had nowhere to borrow strength and couldn't evade, only able to watch helplessly as the brilliant purple light approached.
"Boom!"
That strike was like thousands of degrees of high temperature.
The moment it collided with Toxic Frenzy, the opponent directly turned into a pile of dregs, scattering onto the ground in the City.
"This is..."
Everyone who witnessed this scene.
Their mood directly changed from extreme terror to extreme shock!
Instantly killing a Fifth-tier, plus the purple intent of that attack just now...
In their City, there was actually a Purple Crystal level top-tier expert!
Indeed, the next moment, a Purple Crystal level battle armor existence soaring up from the City confirmed everyone's thoughts!
"Dawn Organization, Second Elder Mo Tiancang, willing to go to the front line and defend the North District!"
The Old Man in battle armor, his aged words were only resolute!
And just as the White-Haired Old Man's words fell, in several other places in the City, several Diamond level battle armor figures shimmering with clear blue-white light also appeared in everyone's sight!
"Dawn Organization, Protector Ling Zha, willing to go to the front line and defend the North District!"
"Dawn Organization, Protector Peng Tai, willing to go to the front line and defend the North District!"
"Dawn Organization..."
Each solemn and powerful word, like a drumstick beating a drum, made everyone hold their breath in shock.
As one top-tier expert after another appeared.
After receiving the exciting news reported by the Soldiers in the Military District, Commander Zheng Xun let out a long breath in his heart.
He hadn't expected it, he really hadn't expected it!
This inconspicuous place, the North District, would actually hide so many experts!
Even Purple Crystal level experts, whom only the Central District could possess, were present!
What was the background of that young man? He was completely right!
"They are all in place."
Ye Tian in the System space had a panel in front of him.
Through various calculations, he reached a conclusion: with the addition of this group of forces, the North District could hold out until early tomorrow morning.
As for after that...
Ye Tian placed his gaze on Luo Lei in front of him.
Several hours had passed, and Luo Lei's eyes were still tightly closed.
It seemed he had truly entered a state of enlightenment.
However.
Seeing the slight sweat on his forehead, it was clear that his inner anxiety was preventing him from entering the state at all.
Whether five million lives could be saved depended on him, but the time left for him was less than half a day.
The immense pressure made it difficult even for Luo Lei to remain calm.
This was indeed within Ye Tian's expectations.
Just like bait, the more anxious and urgent Luo Lei became, the easier it would be to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.
While observing Luo Lei's situation, Ye Tian was suddenly called out by the Creator System in the System space.
"Quick! Look, the thing you were experimenting with God's Blood has a result!"
