Since most of the town was shrouded in black mist, various orders could no longer be issued. The heads of several other guilds had already rushed to manage their subordinates. Only Song Zheng and Qin Dongliu remained in the stone tower.
Next to a huge bonfire.
"Preliminary estimates indicate that at least nearly a hundred people have died... plus more than sixty people during the day, it will probably be more troublesome to cover up this time." Qin Dongliu looked at the burning bonfire and spoke in a low voice.
"As long as the city building can be successful, these casualties can still be accepted..."
"Sigh... I really don't know why you guys are so anxious to build an independent city. It wouldn't be safer to wait until there are more advanced players in a few years before building. Besides, rapidly expanding the size of players is not necessarily a good thing. Once the number of players
Beyond our ability to control, the entire real world will probably be affected..." Qin Dongliu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Song Zheng, who was full of beards, trying to see from his face illuminated by the firelight.
What.
"Did you know that another major earthquake occurred in Japan last month?" Song Zheng suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Isn't that normal? It's not normal for that damn place not to have earthquakes several times a year."
"Earthquakes are normal, but the death toll is abnormal. The Japanese government announced that more than 8,000 people were dead and missing, but in fact the death toll was less than 1,000. Do you know where the remaining 7,000 people went?"
Qin Dongliu was slightly startled and said with emotion: "Could it be that...those 7,000 people were arranged into this game world?"
Song Zheng nodded and said: "This is not the first time. In the past two years, Japan has used this opportunity to falsely report at least more than 60,000 missing persons. This is only the data discovered by us. The real data is estimated to be even more.
amazing."
"More than 60,000 people? Is this news accurate? The cost of arranging so many people to enter the game is extremely huge." Qin Dongliu still looked at Song Zheng in disbelief.
"You should know my true identity. The news I got is definitely not false. The Japanese are already capable of arranging large-scale personnel to enter this game world!"
"Has Little Japan already built its own city? By arranging so many people to enter this death game, aren't they afraid that if something unexpected happens, it will cause turmoil in the real society?" Qin Dongliu couldn't help but frown.
The situation in this game world is not a secret among many countries. There are people from almost every country entering this game world, and they even often help each other in the game. However, such a situation can be maintained naturally because of everyone’s participation in the game.
There is not much difference in strength. If one force suddenly increases in strength, it will inevitably destroy this fragile balance.
Today, this situation still happens to the Japanese who are not friendly to Chinese players.
"It's still unclear what the specific situation is. The Japanese base in the game is within the sphere of influence of the northern demon tribe, so it is difficult for us to detect it."
"Sigh... It would be great if we Chinese players could unite. They would definitely be the largest force in the world. We don't have to worry about the Japanese..."
"Don't think about that kind of thing. The most important thing now is to find a way to defend this new city."
Qin Dongliu looked at the pitch-black wilderness in front of him and said with a nonchalant smile: "Although the black mist is troublesome, the monsters attacking the city are not very strong. They are basically zombies and skeletons in their twenties."
, if there are no stronger monsters appearing later, then there will definitely be no problem in defending the city."
"I hope so..."
The battle on the city wall is still going on. Due to the influence of the black mist, many players can only huddle together near the bonfire for defense. However, because there are many high-level players in front, although those dark creatures are not afraid of death, they are still fighting.
Time can't rush forward either.
Su Yan has already gained more than 2,000 experience points after following the fat man, but for safety, he almost never leaves his hand with the medicine. As long as it drops a few points of blood, he will eat a small pill of rejuvenation.
"Hey...why are there branches on this city wall?" Someone suddenly exclaimed in the darkness.
"I have one too! This... this tree grows so fast!"
"Trees are starting to grow in the city too!"
"Oh no, the stone on the city wall collapsed due to the support of the big tree!"
The exclamations came one after another, and soon turned into screams of fear.
Su Yan was leaning against the fat man, but he was also panicking. The two of them had cooperated quite well in the successive battles, and a section of branches sprouted from the city wall under his feet, growing almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately, trees continued to grow, and a large number of boulders and timbers that formed the city wall were quickly overturned by these new trees, and the temporary city wall was already crumbling.
"Abandon the city wall, enter the city and concentrate on defense!" Seeing that the city wall was about to collapse, someone finally started shouting and jumped off the three-meter-high city wall. The situation in the stalemate on the wall immediately changed, and countless dark creatures took the opportunity to swarm
And up.
Su Yan had already seen the opportunity and jumped off the city wall. However, as soon as his feet landed, he found that he was completely in darkness. The black mist was so thick that it was suffocating. The light of the torch was almost completely swallowed up by the black mist and could only illuminate his feet.
The sound of buildings collapsing kept coming, mixed with various exclamations and screams around them, but nothing could be seen clearly in the deep black mist. Occasionally, a black shadow rushed past, but I didn't know if it was the player or the other person.
The monsters rushing into the city also made the situation in the city even more chaotic.
In the chaos, Su Yan had long been separated from Fatty, and had to rely on his instinctive memory to rush towards the pentagonal fortress in the center of the town, which should be the last defensive location.
*************
"What's going on...will the plants in this game still be reborn?!" Song Zheng, who had retreated into the city due to the collapse of the defense tower, had also lost his usual composure.
"Impossible, one of our logging branches has cut down several hills, and we have never seen plants regenerate." Vice President Xu, who hurried over, said with certainty.
Song Zheng, who had gone through countless battles in the game, immediately regained his composure and frowned: "Is this why the Dark Swamp has always existed...the trees here cannot be cut down at all?"
"What the hell, I'll cut it down again if it grows." The burly man known as Lao Liu took out a huge logging ax from nowhere and casually chopped off a tree as big as a bowl next to him.
, but immediately there were black saplings sprouting out of the ground next to it.
"It's too late. Those trees grew too fast. Most of the city walls and defense towers have been destroyed. Monsters have already rushed into the city. Now we can only shrink the defense line and try to protect those living professionals." Qin Dongliu said, always
Being calm, he had already taken out his weapon at this moment, and a slender ancient sword with pine patterns was floating beside him.
"Lao Liu, you lead the crossbow team to guard the pentagonal fortress. The other people above level 30 will follow me to stop those zombies!" Although Song Zheng's face looked as usual at this moment, there was still uncontrollable anger in his voice.
The city wall that tens of thousands of monsters failed to break through was destroyed by these trees in a short period of time. It was impossible not to be angry at all, especially the screams that kept coming from the black mist.
It reminds everyone of the cruelty of this game.
"Why haven't you seen that fortress yet... Could it be that the whole city has been shrouded in black fog?" Su Yan had been heading in the direction in his memory for more than ten minutes, but still didn't see the solid pentagonal fortress, and he felt vaguely in his heart.
Feeling a little bad.
Finally, two red fires appeared in the black fog in front of him. Although they were small, they were particularly eye-catching in the dark fog. This made him feel happy and he quickly stepped forward to meet them.
However, unexpectedly, the red fire light was moving towards him, and the number of the fire lights soon became more and more.
A scene of wolves attacking prey at night that he had seen in movies suddenly flashed through Su Yan's mind. The green wolf eyes in the darkness were quite similar to this moment.
He couldn't help but shudder, and instinctively used the Insight Technique on the two groups of fires closest to him.
What made him palpitate was that the message came immediately.
