He quickly ran to the river, but facing a wall of hundreds of thousands of people, Liu Xiao couldn't squeeze in.
"Come on, get on my shoulders!" Li Tianjia's voice came from behind.
Liu Xiao turned around and found that he was half-crouching, indicating that he would step on his shoulders.
Without any nonsense, Liu Xiao jumped up lightly and wiped it up.
Li Tianjia was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Standing on the shoulders of this little giant, his field of vision instantly broadened. Liu Xiao raised his eyes and looked around.
They were on the north bank of the river, and saw countless people in the river trying to swim over. On the south bank of the river, there were more people wading through the water and struggling to move forward, but the entire river was at least hundreds of people.
meters wide, and one-third of the water was extremely deep. These people were crying for help, hoping that people on the north shore could help, even if they threw a few pieces of wood to them.
Further on the south bank, Liu Xiao saw people armed with live ammunition. From the eyes and straight bodies of those people, he could tell at a glance that those people were soldiers, and they were probably the original garrison troops in Qiantang. Logically speaking, at this time,
The army was supposed to be organized and chaotic, but every one of them remained silent and faced the south in unison.
What is going on? At first, Liu Xiao thought that a large number of people had launched a new round of collective drowning in the river, but this time it was obviously not the case. People's eyes were full of desire for life and fear of death.
Finally, with his vision that was three times better than that of a normal person, he saw something unusual.
It was nearly five thousand meters away from the river on the south bank. Because the distance was too far, Liu Xiao could only see the outline clearly. There was a group of people running away over there, and a monster easily caught up with them. There was no trace of anything at all.
While there was still room for struggle, someone was torn into two pieces alive, and then the remaining limbs and arms were thrown into the air, and large amounts of blood dyed the surrounding ground red. In less than two breaths, the monster continued to chase other humans.
Go, and no one in that group can stand up again alive.
Liu Xiao swallowed hard, because he discovered that there were at least tens of thousands of such monsters, and the entire south bank had become a hellish Shura field.
He suddenly remembered what happened to Si Mi in the game group. Everyone in Guilin was slaughtered by monsters.
He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. The people around him probably couldn't see what was happening in the distance yet, but the people swimming from the south bank had already begun to spread the panic.
"Run! The monster is coming! Everyone on our side is going to die! Run!" A man who was carried ashore shouted at the top of his lungs. He suddenly broke away from the people who were helping him ashore, squeezed through the crowd and ran to the north.
.
"Run! That monster has four legs and four arms. They will kill us as soon as they see us. They can disembowel us with one claw. We are finished. Run!" Another middle-aged man in his forties said,
He collapsed on the ground, retching and talking to the people around him.
More and more people came from the south bank, shouting the same warning. Such desperate shouts made the crowd on the north bank begin to waver, and then chaos ensued. A large number of people watching the excitement on the bank began to run towards their gathering place.
[Regional Warning: The Dandan River Valley Plain it belongs to has been changed to a war area]
[Regional Warning: The Dandan River Valley Plain it belongs to has been changed to a war area]
[Regional Warning: The Dandan River Valley Plain it belongs to has been changed to a war area]
Three consecutive system warnings made everyone, including Liu Xiao, look solemn.
"Tianjia, hurry up and take our people into the woods until the system prompts you to be in a dangerous area. We don't need any large supplies. Leave quickly." Liu Xiao jumped down from the ground, looked into Li Tianjia's eyes and said to him.
"Okay, what about you?" Li Tianjia absolutely believed in Liu Xiao's judgment.
"I will collect more information here. Don't worry, I can run fast. I'll give this to you. Run in the direction where the bug inside hits the wall of the bottle. I will meet you later." Liu Xiao took out two bug guides.
The bottle was handed to him.
"Be careful, we'll wait for you." After saying that, Li Tianjia turned around and ran towards the gathering point.
Liu Xiao continued to walk towards the shore. At this time, the crowd on the shore was no longer so dense. More people were passing him and running behind him, and Liu Xiao was already one of the few rebels.
Brutal killings were taking place in various places on the South Bank. Human plasma stained the grassland one after another, and severed limbs and internal organs could be seen everywhere. Some people took up weapons to resist, but their hands were trembling, and they were crushed to pieces without even swinging a knife.
Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, but received no mercy at all. Some people pretended to be dead on the spot, but the monster didn't seem to want to leave a complete body, and all of them were reduced to a bloody mess.
The wind blew from the south, carrying a strong smell of blood.
This, I'm afraid, is the true origin, a barbaric land where the strong are respected and all creatures are allowed to survive in exchange for killing.
Sporadic gunfire rang out from the south bank, and the monster's forward was approaching the army's defensive line.
From this distance, Liu Xiao could see very clearly. That kind of monster was indeed as the people who escaped said. It had four legs and four hands. It was about the same height as a human being. Its whole body was brown and black, and its four arms were as slender as bones and had five fingers.
Like claws, their waists and lower limbs are like a tripod, their limbs are in four different directions, and their upper body is more like a human, except that on the head, there is a huge split mouth full of fangs, and a huge
One-eyed.
The monster's running speed is twice that of ordinary humans, and its upper limbs are equally flexible, but its waist and abdomen appear bloated.
The sound of intensive gunfire came, and the soldiers half-crouched and fired at the monster, with flames spitting out from the muzzles and bullets whizzing towards the monster.
The monsters at the front fell instantly to the concentrated fire, and the power of the thermal weapons was still overbearing even at the starting point.
The monsters in the distance noticed that their comrades had fallen, gave up the pursuit of humans, and turned directly towards the army's line on the shore. Tens of thousands of monsters rolled up and rushed over together with countless fleeing humans.
The monsters mixed in the crowd harvested the lives around them at will. They were not tall and blended into the crowd, making it impossible for the army to target them.
"Shrink the formation! Shrink the formation!" the sergeants shouted as they ran along the front line.
However, the chaotic situation and the formation being broken up by the crowd made it impossible to execute their orders.
A monster rushed out of the crowd. The two soldiers in front of it were knocked away before they could fire. Driven by the inertia of the monster, it ran for a while before stopping. Just as it was about to turn to the other side, a sergeant took out his pistol and fired at close range.
Continuously hitting the monster's head and chest directly killed it.
The sergeant just wanted to check on the two soldiers who were knocked to the ground when a sharp claw penetrated his chest, and among the five claws, he pinched a still beating heart.
More monsters rushed into the unprotected front, gunshots rang out everywhere, and the battle between monsters and the strongest human forces began on unequal conditions.
"Fight these monsters! There's no point in running!"
"If you don't fight, everyone will die!"
"You idiots! Cowards!"
Some adults were holding hoes, spears or anything that could be used as weapons, roaring in the blindly running crowd. Many strong men stopped, picked up stones and joined the battle, and more
People are still running blindly to the other side like zombies. As the second largest economic country in the world, China has its citizens living in an orderly, stable and comfortable environment from childhood to adulthood. It is difficult to encounter even danger, let alone the decision of life and death.
battle.
All they wanted in their minds was to run with the crowd and let the monsters kill others, so that they could have a chance to escape. As for those soldiers and ordinary people who bravely fought against the monsters, they were very grateful from the bottom of their hearts, thanking these people for using their own
My life has bought me more time, but everything is just thanks.
But no matter what, the humans here still have an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
A monster was hit by a bullet and staggered to the ground. Several big men with sticks immediately rushed up and beat it until it was reduced to a pile of mud and was dead.
The monster was beaten to death by ordinary people, which encouraged more men. Many of them had relatives and friends killed by the monster. They thought that in the worst case, they would return to earth to reunite with their families, and they were ready to fight the monster.
.
The battle line, which was in disarray when attacked by monsters, began to reverse in some places. Scenes of dozens of people surrounding a monster appeared everywhere.
Perhaps this is also the deeper meaning of why the army lined up its front line by the river. The despair of the river and the hope of victory made those people who still have bloody hearts finally become brave.
At this time, there were still many people on the north bank. In addition to helping those who swam over because the water was good and successfully swam across the river, there were also many people holding spears, bows and arrows. Like Liu Xiao, they did not leave.
, but nervously pay attention to the situation on the other side.
After all, there are only a few people with good water skills. Even if the current is not strong, only one-third can swim across. Most of them become floating corpses drifting downstream.
Hundreds of rafts were constantly moving back and forth on the river, transporting as many women as possible and weapons and soldiers across.
"Look! The west side has been breached!"
Hearing the shouts, Liu Xiao looked towards the western front. Sure enough, there were more than ten monsters over there that had penetrated the defense line and rushed into the crowd by the river. Women and frightened men were slaughtered like livestock.
Those who stopped in the shallow water area were also driven into the deep water area, struggled in the current for a few times and then disappeared.
More monsters rushed to the shore from the breach, covering them up from west to east. The chaotic battle on the front battlefield made the army unable to stop this small group of monsters in the rear. Some men with cold weapons came, but the number was obviously not enough.
Soon they all died tragically on the shore.
Soon, more men began to gather, this time there were thousands of them. The leading monster did not charge hard this time, but changed its direction and led more than 40 monsters directly into the river and swam towards the north bank.
They must not be allowed to cross the river. Liu Xiao had been holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it. Seeing that these beasts actually chose to cross the river, he now took advantage of the opportunity.
"Monsters are crossing the river! Go over and kill them!"
"Kill so many of us, they are dead!"
The people who had stayed on the north bank could not be said to be fearless of life and death, but they were also the most courageous and powerful group. They also had the same idea as Liu Xiao and ran towards the west roaring.
The moment the monsters entered the deep water, they showed different abilities from humans. Their somewhat bloated waist and abdomen floated on the water like an air bag, and their four legs slid rapidly underwater, almost as if they were walking on flat ground, and they swam at extremely fast speeds.
Also very fast.
Soon several monsters crossed the center line of the river, and were immediately baptized by the dense stones and bows and arrows on the north bank. However, the accuracy of everyone was really impressive. Only a few small stones hit the target, and there was no damage.
How much damage was done, the monsters suddenly plunged into the water when they saw that the situation was not good. Except for the floating corpses of humans, there was no trace of monsters on the river.
"Get away from the shore! They can dive!"
The men on the shore dispersed in panic, and a group of men armed with spears and wooden sticks took up their positions.
People stared at the water nervously, with cold weapons in their hands ready to stab at any moment.
Just when everyone thought they could play a game of whack-a-mole, more than thirty monsters emerged from the shore at the same time, stamped their feet on the ground, and jumped into the crowd.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the monster's flexible and long arms were like four long knives, flying quickly among the crowd. Just the moment it landed, it penetrated the chest and abdomen of the people around it.
A middle-aged man's chest was penetrated, but he desperately held on to the monster's arm and shouted to the people around him not to let the monster escape. Unfortunately, his eyes dimmed before anyone could avenge him.
There were more than a dozen men holding short sticks, surrounding a monster. Everyone was brave and fearless, but the lethality of the wooden sticks was really limited. Until the last man fell in a pool of blood, the monster was not killed.
There were three to four hundred people at the place where the monster landed. In just a few minutes, they all died on the shore.
And the number of monsters they killed was only in double digits.
Without the blessing of thermal weapons, there is a gulf-like gap between humans and these monsters in terms of physical condition, fighting skills, and fighting will.
After the massacre was resolved, the remaining twenty or so monsters did not leave, but formed a semicircle to guard the shore where they landed. On the other side, more monsters were rushing towards the south bank from the breach in the front, preparing to cross the river.
They must not be allowed to hold the landing point!
The men whose reinforcements were arriving one after another stopped a hundred meters in front of the monster's defense line. If there were not enough people to rush over, they would die.
Liu Xiao was very fast, but he could barely catch up.
"Don't go there! Wait for more people!"
A strong man saw Liu Xiao trying to rush over alone and kindly reminded him. Seeing Liu Xiao didn't respond, he could only shake his head helplessly.
But Liu Xiao was seen breaking away from the crowd, bending his bow and setting an arrow. He almost didn't aim too much, and the sharp arrow shot out with a loud sound.
The arrows were like meteors, and a monster was hit by the arrow. It didn't even react to dodge, and just collapsed.
"Amazing!"
There are also a few people with bows and arrows around. It is almost impossible for them to hit the ground with an arrow from a hundred meters away. If they can hit the target, it is considered good.
Just as they were amazed by this arrow, Liu Xiao shot three more arrows in succession.
The arrow hit, one arrow revealed, two arrows hit the chest.
"It's amazing!"
If one arrow hitting the target may be luck, then hitting four arrows in a row is absolute strength.
People looked at Liu Xiao completely differently.
The monsters also focused on Liu Xiao. The enemy actually had such precise long-range attack capabilities. After they briefly exchanged glances, half of the monsters moved on all fours and charged directly at Liu Xiao.
Draw the arrow, nock the arrow, aim, release the string, and a newly activated monster is shot through the head.
At a distance of 80 meters, another arrow was shot. A monster was shot in the neck. The same red blood plasma as humans could not stop spraying into the air. After staggering a few steps, it fell to the ground.
At a distance of 50 meters, a monster suddenly fell to the ground while running quickly. After rolling several times, it became motionless.
At a distance of 30 meters, Liu Xiao remained motionless. At this distance, he hardly needed to aim. He held the compound bow horizontally and shot an arrow into the target's abdomen. Although the beast was still running forward, it was in severe pain and the pain that had penetrated its internal organs.
The cluster of arrows made its teeth chatter and it quickly lost its combat effectiveness.
"Protect this young man!"
Several men shouted at the same time and stood in front of Liu Xiao.
More people came forward from behind him, forming human walls.
"9"
Liu Xiao shot another arrow and murmured.
The monster collided with the human wall, and the men in the front row were knocked away.
"10"
An arrow passed through the crowd and accurately penetrated the monster's one eye.
"11"
An arrow sealed its throat, and a monster with human blood flowing from its hands fell down in shock.
"12"
More than a dozen middle-aged men who were standing in front of Liu Xiao were unwilling to die under the monster's claws, but when they saw this arrow of revenge, the hairless beast that killed them fell into a pool of blood with them.
"13"
More people arrived, and they quickly passed Liu Xiao, rushing towards the enemy who was far stronger and more ferocious than them without fear of death, and this arrow directly seriously injured their target.
"14"
Liu Xiao counted them coldly, each arrow carrying his anger.
"15"
The system prompts that a message has been received.
"16"
"17"
"18"
He reached for his quiver, only to find that it was empty.
"Here, use mine."
A stranger's voice came from beside him. Liu Xiao turned his head and saw a girl looking at him with excitement and handing over a bundle of arrows.
"Thanks."
Liu Xiao just nodded slightly, took the arrow from her, and continued to look at the next target.
The moment after taking the arrow, the girl was frightened by Liu Xiao's frozen gaze. Those eyes were filled with anger, indifference, and a loneliness that despised life.
She took a deep breath and encouraged herself to be a qualified arrow deliverer and never let this handsome boy lose his weapon.
Although those eyes are scary, I still want to get to know him.
The girl secretly stared at Liu Xiao's back. The sense of security made her so obsessed that her face turned slightly red.
"ah!!!!"
"Victory!"
The last monster that rushed into the crowd died under the beating of the people.
Everyone present shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
Even though there are just as many monsters waiting for them ahead, at least this time, they won!
