Apocalypse Lord - Chapter 78
“Should we not hoard food for the winter? How did ants besieged the city?”
“Wipe, I deliberately prepared a lot of wood, and I want to say that in the last quarter, don’t freeze to death. Your sister, this is the army, you must fight to death…”
“I thought something was wrong before. If it’s the Ice Age, why is’players surviving ≥100″ listed as a clearance condition? Isn’t this easy to complete? Good guy, I was waiting here.”
“Stop talking! Come and help! What kind of mutant ants are slipping too fast, they can’t fight at all!!”
There was noise in the territory.
At the same time, mutant ants appeared one after another on the east, southwest, and northwest sides, and players had to support them separately.
“Damn! The territory is too big for magic traps!” A player complained bitterly.
The archer was about to cry, “The attack is basically avoided, the opponent’s skill is too flexible.”
Mage: “…what are you anxious about? Isn’t it good to wait for me to control the ants and then output it? Attacking all misses is not a waste of mana?”
Before the words fell, an arrow hit the ant.
The next second, the enemy froze into ice sculptures.
The player is overjoyed, “Good job!”
“Quick output!!”
Arrows, lightning, water balls, wooden thorns, wind blades, and fireballs shot quickly, and the mutant ants were killed on the spot.
In the distance, another mutant ant rushed forward and kept approaching the territory.
As Lu Chuan took out the frozen arrow, he said in a deep voice, “Don’t rush to attack, pay attention to cooperation.”
Yes, there are masters in Lingyun City, and they will definitely win.
Mindful of this, the residents gradually calmed down and stopped rashly taking action.
**
Most of the players who have survived to this day have rich combat experience.
He was caught off guard at first, so he was quite flustered. After a long time, they reacted.
“Who has control skills? Come and form a team, take turns to strike!”
“Twenty people form a small team, and those who don’t fight will step back first and take a break.”
“What about the living players? Make porridge quickly! The frontline mana consumption is serious and needs to be refilled urgently.”
With the efforts of all residents, the situation was temporarily brought under control, and the number of mutant ants killed rapidly increased.
**
Realizing that war is about to start, Yunling walks quickly towards the system shop.
Tailor shop.
Yunling: “We make all our efforts to make purple quiver, simple bandage and high-quality bandage, and the production of other items is temporarily suspended.”
restaurant.
Yunling: “All employees make Huilan Foods, the more the better.”
Smithy.
Yunling: “Steel knives, machetes, bronze swords, broad swords, seven-star swords, chain mail, bronze helmets, bronze shields, iron shields, iron bows… everything is ok. After the battle begins, the equipment is expensive and requires brand new ones. Weapon goes into battle to kill the enemy!”
The order had just been issued, and the NPC staff moved quickly.
There is a lingering haze between Yunling’s eyebrows-most of the stocks in the warehouse are raw materials. It takes time to make props/equipment. Can it take that long?
The reason why there was not a lot of stock in the past was purely habit.
I stock up on raw materials and can do whatever I want.
Pre-judge in advance and hoard a lot of props. In case you guess wrong, the props and materials may be completely useless.
So she prepared some strategic materials, and she deliberately closed it.
Who ever thought that in the winter of the third year, war broke out and supplies were in short supply!
“It would be great if Xintong Town and Lingyun City were in the same city.” Yunling sighed secretly, “With Xintong Town in, the difficulty will drop a lot.”
Unfortunately, they are in different service areas, and killing mutant ants is also counted separately.
In melancholy, I suddenly received two messages.
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The mutant ants are too much trampling on horses, I announce that I will give up. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: All life occupation NPCs have been ordered to urgently produce strategic materials and do their best to provide support to Lingyun City. 】
Yun Ling was startled slightly, “You…”
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I am not helping you, I am helping myself. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The protective cover can last for a while. Before Xintong Town is breached, I will give you all the materials, props, and equipment in the territory. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: If Lingyun City has any urgently needed props and equipment, I happen to be able to produce it here, although I am willing to help rush the work. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Don’t say thank you. Boss, we must win! ! ! 】
Yun Ling’s eyes were firm, “I will, I promise.”
**
Osmanthus Town.
After several quarters of cleaning, there are only the last two hundred elite players left in the town.
Once, these people thought they were invincible. No matter what challenges you encounter in the future, you will be able to get through safely.
But today, the faith was broken.
Before that, they had never expected that they might not even be able to survive the first day of winter!
“What is the mage doing? Quickly release the control skills!” the soldier shouted.
“Skills cooling down!” the mage shouted.
“No more blue!” another person cried.
At this time, the archer aimed and shot.
The arrow galloped, and suddenly turned into a branch when it approached the mutant ant, tying the opponent.
Before the warrior had time to be happy, he heard the archer grieve, “I’m out of blue.”
warrior,”……”
No matter how elite they are, there are only more than two hundred people. Some of them are senior life players specially trained by the team, and they don’t have the ability to fight at all.
The mutant ants move extremely fast. If you want to kill as quickly as possible, you must first fix the target.
At first, it was not difficult to do.
However, after annihilating twenty, forty, and sixty ants, it is increasingly difficult to control first and then kill.
“If you can’t control it, let the mutant ants attack the territory shield…” Thinking of this, the soldier felt cold.
He was upset for the first time that he should not implement an elite strategy.
If there are 2,000 players in the safe area at this time, even if the other 1,800 people are not very good at playing, even if you stand nearby and throw control skills!
“Do you think I don’t know the importance of control skills?” The mage said quietly, “There is no blue.”
warrior,”……”
He heard thank you.
Don’t repeat it.
The chest hurts.
“There are more than 180 system NPCs in the territory, more than 200 players, and level 2 shields. How many days do you think we can hold on?” the mage asked again.
The soldier had a dark face and a rough voice, “Can’t guess, don’t guess!”
**
Mutated ants flew in front of one another, and one after another after killing one.
A tense atmosphere filled the entire Lingyun City.
“Eating.” The chef yelled and delivered the cooked porridge, rice soup, multi-grain steamed buns, and beef sauce.
A small team is resting. After hearing the words, they leaned forward, broke the steamed buns, then filled the sauced beef, and took a bite, “It’s so fragrant!”
The chef turned his head and saw the warriors outside the territory and mutant ants huddled together. He couldn’t help feeling, “Fortunately, there are many people in Lingyun City.”
“Yeah.” The combat player had a lingering fear. “Fortunately, the number of players is superior, they can be replaced, and they can rest. Otherwise, who can stand it?”
Humans are not machines, they are tired and lose focus. After fighting for a long time, mistakes will increase.
Besides… even if the player bites his teeth, will the system let them go? Negative states come at all times, and their strength is suddenly weakened.
I opened the panel, scanned the data, and saw the prompt display, [Hold the safe zone, eliminate all mutant ants in the city, and the game ended early. (Currently kills 357/10000)]
The chef encouraged, “Come on! Kill the ants and everything is over.”
Beside, the combat player showed a wry smile, “It’s so easy to say…”
**
When the blood is full, step out of the territory and kill the mutant ants by retaliation.
When the blood volume is low, enter the back kitchen of the restaurant and make recovery items.
Yun Ling was so busy that he had to make time to exchange information with players in other territories.
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: According to my observation, the red dots represented by mutant ants are constantly moving towards the safe area. Some are close and come quickly. Some are far away, but slow to arrive. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: In this way, the territory does not need to face 10,000 mutant ants at the same time. 】
[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: As long as you control the rhythm, it is not impossible to pass the customs! 】
Yunling: “I understand.”
Just after the conversation with Zhao Xintong, new news popped out.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: A major discovery! 】
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: When there are different safety zones in the city, the mutant ants will go to the nearest one. 】
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: I observed the movement of the red dots, and it took a long time to find out after analyzing it. 】
Yunling: “I know.”
[Linden Tree Town-Ho Rui: …Do you know if you said it earlier? 】
Yun Ling: “No time, busy.”
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: You can rely on yourself in Lingyun City and play with me as much as you want! 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Seriously. Lingyun City and Lime Tree Town are in different directions. If they persist long enough, the mutant ants will rush to Lime Tree Town first. When the safe area is broken, go to Lingyun City. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: In this way, Lingyun City has a lot of preparation time, so that it will not be surrounded by powerful enemies all at once. 】
Yun Ling: “No kidding, something is really going on. I’m preparing for the battle against 10,000 mutant ants in Lingyun City.”
【Linden Tree Town-He Rui: …】
【Linden Tree Town-He Rui: lunatic. 】
Yun Ling smiled carelessly. She closed the panel at will and continued with the work at hand.
**
The battle lasted all day.
When the text in the upper right corner changed to “Winter, disaster day, 18:00: 00”, all the red dots on the map disappeared in an instant.
The mutant ant that arrived in Lingyun City and was fighting with the player was still there. It walked upright, its forelimbs turned into sharp blades, its eyes flashed with cold light, and its appearance looked particularly fierce.
“There is no blue!” the mage yelled anxiously.
“Would you like to use the crowd tactics? Rely on more people to play hooligans?” someone suggested.
“The speed of the ants is so fast, the warrior’s slow legs are blocked?” the archer next to him questioned.
Before discussing the result, Lu Chuan drew a penetrating arrow from his quiver and shot at will.
The arrow flew out quickly.
The mutant ant wanted to avoid it, but the arrow turned around. He didn’t evade twice in a row, and before he could make a third turn, the arrow hit the target.
The ant’s blood volume suddenly dropped a lot.
Lu Chuan took out the penetrating arrow and fired again.
The mutant ant couldn’t avoid it no matter how to hide it, and finally was hit by the special effect arrow and fell to the ground weakly.
“Come on.” Lu Chuan announced.
Other players, “…”
Worthy of being a standing devil.
Being in the same camp with him, I really feel very safe.
**
The evening is a time for leisure and entertainment.
The pork belly is grilled on a stone slab, making a “zizizi” sound.
The outer layer of the sesame cake is sprinkled with sesame seeds, which tastes tough and delicious, crisp and delicious.
The meatloaf is fragrant, the outer layer is very chewy, and the inside is full of meat. It is extremely satisfying to bite down.
There are also scallion pancakes, golden brown and slightly charred on both sides, and they are delicious and crispy.
Mo Qi’s left hand meatloaf, right hand green onion pie, the whole person is extremely happy.
I coldly picked up the roasted pork belly, put it in a bowl, and swallowed it unintentionally, “The red dots suddenly disappeared, and I don’t know what happened.”
Mo Qi closed his eyes in pain.
I was very happy, so why do you have to say this? Not only affects own appetite, but also affects others.
The team members looked at Leng Bai at a loss, not knowing whether to hold the freshly baked sesame cake in their hands.
As the deputy head, Mo Qi had to come forward, “I have asked someone to find out that the first mutant ant attacked the territory at 08:05:23 in the morning.”
“If you guessed it right, the ants should only act during the day.”
“It disappears automatically at night, and it makes perfect sense to give the player time to breathe.”
Leng Bai is still worried, “Apart from the red dots, there are still many problems waiting to be resolved.”
“Protective shield, it loses 15,000 blood a day. A total of 100,000 blood, how many days can it last?”
“Food. If you are hungry, you need to eat food. If your mana is exhausted, you need to eat food. If your blood volume drops, you need to eat food. How many days do you have enough food to eat?”
“Kill the mutant ants, nothing will fall. In other words, the whole winter can only rely on the previous accumulation to survive.”
Speaking of this, Leng Bai’s expression was solemn, and he said, “Once any link goes wrong, the entire Lingyun City will immediately fall. The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and this is the truth.”
Mo Qi: When eating, can you stop talking! ! After listening to his analysis, how do other people eat dinner!
The team members looked at the half-eaten meatloaf and burst into tears, “The situation is severe, so should everyone be worried about eating?”
Coldly glanced, quite speechless.
He was suddenly disappointed, “Forget it, you eat, I have no appetite.”
After speaking, he got up and walked away quickly.
Mo Qi’s left-handed meatloaf, right-handed scallion pie, his mouth was full of oil, “Ignore him! Let’s continue.”
**
In the same environment, some people can eat and drink without heart and lungs; some can toss and turn, cannot eat, and sleep well.
It is not only Leng Bai who is worried, but He Rui.
In the evening, he sent messages to Yunling many times to inquire about the current situation of Lingyun City.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: How is Lingyun City? 】
[Linden Tree Town-Ho Rui: Is there enough grain to eat? Is the equipment enough? 】
[Linden Tree Town-Ho Rui: Is the equipment enough? 】
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: The most important thing is, how is the protective cover? 】
Yun Ling: “There are enough stocks, and the protective cover has a blood volume of -15,000, which is pretty good.”
Yun Ling: “I was a little rushed at first, but then I stabilized.”
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: Don’t be too optimistic, the situation is trickier than expected. 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Lime Tree Town, level 3 protective cover, maximum HP is 100,000, basic recovery speed: 5 HP/min. 】
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: At the end of the first day, the blood volume was reduced by 24,000. According to this calculation, it will last up to 6 days! 】
[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: Once the territory is breached, the pressure on other safe areas will be greater, and the blood volume of the protective shield will only decline faster. 】
Yun Ling: “It’s okay, I’m prepared.”
Yunling: “A team has completed a special task and can spend copper coins to add blood to the shield.”
She didn’t lie.
【Name: Protective cover】
Health: 100000/100000
Use effect: Block the enemy.
Basic recovery speed: 5 HP/minute
Note: Spending copper coins can speed up the repair.
The territory panel has long been written.
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui:! ! ! 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: How to accept the task? 】
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: If the protective cover can be repaired in the 4 safe areas in S city, what is the hurry! 】
Yunling: “Special tasks, other territories can’t do it, only Lingyun City can.”
[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: …Bai is happy. 】
Then, the two chatted for a while about the enemy’s experience, in an attempt to sum up a concise and efficient method of confronting the enemy.
Halfway through the conversation, You Qingwen sent a message, “Just now a player in Osmanthus Town told me that the safe zone will not last noon tomorrow.”
Yun Ling frowned unconsciously, “What’s the matter?”
You Qingwen: “Osmanthus Town has only level 2 protective shields, with a total of 400 people from the territory players and system guards. Such a small number of people can’t be guarded at all! Even today, it is hard to survive.”
“It is said that at the end of the battle, the protective shield -19235, with only 765 HP left, is not far from being broken.”
“Once the protective shield disappears, the player’s life safety will not be guaranteed, and they will only run around, and there is no way to cooperate.”
“The Osmanthus Town player said that he intends to donate most of his property, as long as he can carry it tomorrow.”
Yunling was silent.
On the first day of winter, just killing 813 mutant ants, there was a safe zone that could not survive. It was really…
“Forget it,” she thought, “I didn’t want to count on others anyway.”
After a while, You Qingwen sent another message, “Have you thought of any good countermeasures?”
You Qingwen is an insider, so there is no need to hide it.
Yunling said frankly, “The lord can spend copper coins to repair the protective cover, 1 copper coin = 1 HP.”
“I have hundreds of thousands of copper coins in my hand. I originally wanted to unlock a new building, and then rose to the highest level in one breath.”
“Now, it’s just time to repair the protective cover.”
You Qingwen, “!!!”
You Qingwen, “As expected of Lord Lord, he has the ability to make money!”
You Qingwen, “If the funds are insufficient, just say, I am willing to contribute all of my net worth.”
Yun Ling laughed: “Okay.”
**
City F, Xintong Town.
Zhao Xintong stayed up all night and made hundreds of barbecues.
The sky gradually brightened, and the upper right corner of the text displayed, “The 342th day, winter, disaster day, 08:00.”
In an instant, the red dots reappeared, and they kept approaching Xintong Town.
“Sister! There is only one safety zone in Xintong Town in the entire city of F. All the ants are running towards me, don’t you make sense?” Zhao Xintong muttered.
Yesterday, more than a thousand mutant ants attacked Xintong Town.
Level 3 protective cover, full of 100,000 HP, suddenly plummeted by 90,000. Hundreds of NPCs died in battle, and more than two hundred players died.
“At first glance, it is the ending of the group annihilation. I don’t even bother to struggle.”
With that said, Zhao Xintong stepped into the warehouse and gave the equipment, props, copper coins and materials to Yunling for free.
【warn! warn! The protective cover is exhausted and completely shattered! Players are asked to take action and annihilate enemy units as soon as possible. 】
The prompt font is red, flashing three times in a row.
Zhao Xintong hummed dissatisfiedly, “If the enemy unit can be annihilated, the protective cover will be broken? Talk nonsense.”
She sat in the corner of the warehouse, quietly waiting for death to come.
Lingyun City.
Yunling received the materials and just stored them, there was a bazaar panel. City F-Xintong Town disappeared out of thin air.
“Now the whole world channel is only herself.” She cheered up and actively met the challenges of the new day.
**
Osmanthus Town.
At 9:40, the protective cover shattered.
“Brothers, kill!!” A player yelled in grief, “Kill one to pay back! Kill two nets!”
Before the words fell, a mutant ant raided, and the sharp blade cut the player’s neck.
The man fell to the ground, the number of players was -1.
“Set the fire! One can kill one!” another person shouted.
Everyone fought **** and resisted.
9:56.
The survivors in City S received a system prompt, [Osmanthus Town was breached. 】
**
On the 342th day, 1715/10000 mutant ants were killed.
On day 343, kill mutant ants 2680/10000.
On the 344th day, kill mutant ants 3557/10000.
…
On the 348th day, 7119/10000 mutant ants were killed and Huaishu Town was breached.
On the 349th day, 8014/10000 mutant ants were killed, and Lime Tree Town was breached.
Seeing that victory was in sight, Lingyun City was a gloomy cloud.
“As long as you stay for 2-3 more days, the game will be over.” Leng Bai gritted his teeth, his forehead bounced, “but all the food left is eaten up, the durability of the weapon has dropped by 78%, and it is almost scrapped!”
Mo Qi was indescribably irritable, “The system store is still operating normally, and the goods are still sold to the outside world, but the players don’t have enough copper coins to buy…What is this called?!”
The members were desperate, “If you usually hunt more diligently and eat less three meals, will you have a different ending?”
Someone also asked uncomfortably, “If the clearance conditions are not met, the game is over, and human beings are destroyed, maybe they are joking? Maybe even if they can’t pass the level, everyone will be fine…”
He didn’t believe this, so he automatically silenced.
Mo Qi’s teeth bit his heart, “Let’s find a large team to borrow food.”
He frowned coldly.
Mo Qi said with a shy face, “This is a cooperative game! Clearing the level will not only benefit us! I guess the other party will agree.”
“Do you think,” Leng Bai raised his eyes and slowly said, “Can we win?”
Mo Qi was stunned.
“The reason why Lingyun City can survive to this day is because there are Level 3 protective shields outside the territory, and because more than 4,000 players work hard together.” Leng Bai’s voice was difficult.
“No matter how wealthy a large team is, it can’t change the fact that the protective shield is about to break.”
“In addition, they can’t support four thousand people, even if they only need to persist for the last two days.”
“What do you mean…” Mo Qi suddenly felt extremely panicked, as if he had a foreboding what the leader would say next.
“We lost.” Leng Bai felt unwilling to his heart, his eyes dripping with blood, but he had to face the reality.
Hearing that, everyone present is like an ice cave.
Lost?
Can not go back?
Everyone will die?
Thinking of this, the calves of the two members trembled lightly, and they could hardly stand. They had to support the wall to stabilize their figure.
“Is there really no way?” Mo Qi looked coldly, his eyes earnestly, secretly looking forward to it.
“I can’t think of it.” Leng Bai laughed mockingly, “Adversity turned around? Oh, where is that easy! Unless there is a miracle.”
As soon as the voice fell, several system prompts sounded.
[The player “Yunling” chose to disclose the identity of the city lord of Lingyun City. 】
[The player “Yunling” used 9.5w copper coins to speed up the repair of the protective cover, and the health of the protective cover has returned to its full value. 】
[During the war, the lord issued a special law. Official residents of Lingyun City can receive simple bandages for free in the tailor shop, three meals for free in the restaurant, and weapons for free in the blacksmith’s shop. 】
[I hope everyone will unite and fight the enemy together. 】
Cold white,”???”
What the hell?
Mo Qi was stunned for a long time, and then muttered with a complicated expression, “The miracle really happened.”
