Chapter 28: Chapter 28: A Thunderclap Resounds, the Rabbit Makes a Shining Entrance (Part 2)
After hanging up the communication, a surge of heat rose in Yu Lian’s heart.
The giant behind him was finally going to take its first step in this otherworld!
He then shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.
The current battle situation was still quite urgent. The armored regiment needed five more minutes of preparation time, the off-road speed of the 99A tank was 60 kilometers per hour, and fully calculating, it would take more than ten minutes to arrive outside the city.
Even if the artillery support could arrive first, it would only push this time frame to six or seven minutes.
His task was to ensure that the middle-aged man holding the cauldron did not die during this time.
Thinking of this.
Yu Lian gritted his teeth and casually picked up a stone rod.
Pretending to support the front line, he quickly made his way towards the south side of the city wall.
At this time, the south side of the city wall had already entered a frantic melee—compared to the west wall, the south wall was almost directly facing the beast tide army, and the impact suffered was naturally much more severe.
Blood stained the walls, the defenders were making their final struggle, and soldiers and even Extraordinary were constantly falling all around, intertwining the place with cries of despair and madness.
Even worse.
As the battle situation gradually tipped over, some citizens collapsed, screamed, dropped their weapons, and began to flee!
Although the number of people fleeing was small.
But at this moment, any minor change could potentially affect the overall situation.
The beast tide forces seemed to add weights, one by one.
The scales of victory gradually tilted visibly to the naked eye.
From a spectator’s point of view, it was only a matter of time before the city fell and people were killed.
In the central battlefield on the ground, several Extraordinary were fighting against several powerful monsters.
The man holding the cauldron’s beard and hair bristled, urging the great cauldron to shatter a giant snake fourteen to fifteen meters long, but the snake’s final counterattack struck his abdomen fiercely.
The man holding the cauldron vomited a mouthful of blood, staggered a few steps, leaned against the wall, and breathed heavily.
Looking at the tragic surrounding battle, a sense of despair floated in his heart.
With the light curtain broken and the old ancestor defeated in the high-altitude battlefield, tens of thousands of ordinary civilians in the city becoming blood food was already a foregone conclusion.
Puff.
The man holding the cauldron spat out another mouthful of blood, now infinitely close to the state of being spent, where even a beast not entering the rank could kill him.
Ssss——
The sound of snake scales rubbing against the wall arose, and the man holding the cauldron looked up.
He saw, four to five meters to the upper left, a giant snake slowly crawling towards him.
Perhaps knowing the prey was extremely important, a trace of greed flashed in the giant snake’s eyes.
Then it opened its huge mouth, exposing a pair of sharp venomous fangs, and lunged fiercely at the man holding the cauldron.
At this moment, the breath of the man holding the cauldron had not yet adjusted and recovered, and he couldn’t even muster True Qi to initiate a self-explosion.
He could only close his eyes in despair, waiting for death to arrive.
But the next second.
What he heard was not the imagined crunching sound of his bones and flesh being chewed but three strange muffled sounds and the suspected sound of a heavy object falling.
The man holding the cauldron opened his eyes in some confusion and found a refugee standing beside him with a small iron box, looking serious.
And the giant snake.....
It was already bloodied and slumped in the corner of the wall, its serpent head completely shattered, and the foul-smelling snake blood flowed everywhere, its breath completely gone.
The man holding the cauldron was stunned for a few seconds, then watched as the refugee walked over and helped him up with force.
The man holding the cauldron examined the person before him.
With his wisdom, it wasn’t difficult to see that it was the small box in the refugee’s hand that had just saved him.
This small box looked inexplicably familiar, but at the moment, the man holding the cauldron didn’t have time to think about it carefully.
Perhaps it was a craftsman who had fled in, and the box contained weapons like crossbows?
The man holding the cauldron thought as much.
He then sighed and said:
"It’s useless, don’t worry about me, you should hurry to escape.
If luck is good, you might survive."
After speaking, he gently pushed Yu Lian away and stood up shakily.
After adjusting his breath for a while, feeling that he could barely move, a decisive look flashed in his eyes.
He set his sights on a giant snake over forty steps away, activating his magic formula, his breath vibrating all over.
He was preparing to finish his life with self-explosion.
However.
Just as he was about to burn his life and charge at the giant snake, he suddenly sensed a shadow vaguely appearing somewhere in his sight.
Could it be that another old ancestor had fallen?
The man instinctively raised his head, only to see a round object trailing a dense white tail, flying from afar at high speed.
A few seconds later, the object suddenly plummeted, falling precisely into the beast tide outside the city.
Then...
Boom!
A massive explosion sound suddenly erupted.
Sand and stones mixed with a large amount of monster blood splattered everywhere, immediately attracting the attention of all the monsters and humans present.
Upon hearing this explosion sound, in the sky.
A giant snake about to attack suddenly paused, as if reminded of something unpleasant.
It lowered its body and cried out to the beast tide below.
Hearing this cry.
Except for the monsters on the city wall continuing to slaughter, the monsters outside the city abruptly turned in unison, ready in some direction, restless.
For a while.
The monsters on the city wall were without reinforcements, and the offensive suddenly slowed down considerably.
As the saying goes, a cornered beast will fight, and this principle applies to humans as well. Given the current number of monsters on the wall trying to kill the remaining defenders, some price still had to be paid.
Anyway, the present city was already a spent force; instead of believing the city’s defenders could turn the tide, better to believe that the giant snake demon that was slain could resurrect.
In the case of potential new changes occurring.
The monsters on the city wall only needed to keep watch on these defenders, waiting for the beast tide below to provide later support, no need to risk themselves.
Thus, the city’s defenders unexpectedly gained a slight breathing opportunity.
Meanwhile.
The man holding the cauldron suddenly heard a series of rumbling ground sounds in his ears, as if many colossal beasts were roaring and galloping on the earth.
"￥%#@!"
Suddenly, a female Extraordinary pointed in a direction and said something to the man holding the cauldron.
The man holding the cauldron looked in the direction she pointed.
Only to see, near the terraces cultivated by the family’s ancestors on the west side of the city, dozens of terrifying giants suddenly appeared.
Although these giants were still some distance from the city.
As the second-best cultivator in the city except for the three elders, it wasn’t difficult for the man holding the cauldron to clearly see the appearances of these giants.
These giants were covered in iron-like shells and came in two styles.
The fewer ones looked square and had a thick long tube at the front.
Their base was wide and heavy, looking slightly cumbersome.
The more numerous monsters were a little smaller, with the front looking somewhat like a wedge, with four pairs of wheels underneath.
Dozens of steel giants marched side by side, surging towards the beast tide’s formation!
The man holding the cauldron also noticed.
Among them, a giant with the long tube had a flag at the back.
The flag was red all over, with five golden stars printed in the upper left corner.
In the instant of seeing this flag clearly.
The man holding the cauldron shuddered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
No.
Not just this man holding the cauldron.
Almost all the Extraordinary on the city walls showed extremely surprised expressions upon seeing this flag.
From Yu Lian’s perspective, speaking without much respect.
When the old man in green was defeated back then, these Extraordinary were probably not as excited.
Then suddenly, the man holding the cauldron thought of something and turned around abruptly.
He stared closely at the gun in Yu Lian’s hand and asked, somewhat haltingly in Mandarin:
"Huaxia People?"
