Chapter 256 Who is the death knell tolling?

The war has begun.

Sitting on the top of the ruined building, Cheng Lin hung his legs in the air and stared quietly at Observation Station No. 5.

As the southernmost observation station of the entire underground city, it bears the brunt of the beast tide.

The people from the underground city were not slow to arrive. Not long after Cheng Lin sat down, he saw someone coming out of the snow mountain and walking around a few times. The bodies of the snow beasts that died outside the snow mountain were also dragged away.

Time passed quickly due to acceleration, and Cheng Lin suddenly found that he could "see through" again.

His eyes penetrated the thick snow and frozen soil and saw the movements taking place in the underground city.

"Reinforcements? The army?"

Human beings are like points of light in his eyes, and those practitioners are even brighter.

Through the frozen soil, Cheng Lin discovered that a large number of humans began to gather in the complex and huge ant nest-like underground that extended in all directions and rushed towards the observation station.

Not only went to No. 5, but other observation stations also sent people there, along with countless firearms. Compared with the sparse number of practitioners, large-scale thermal weapons are more reliable.

In just one night, the observatory was armed.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting light, the large army of snow beasts arrived.

"so much?"

Sitting on the building, Cheng Lin saw a vast expanse of snow beasts coming from behind the hillside in the distance. They were crowded together, and there were so many of them that if you didn't look carefully, they would look like an avalanche.

The white fur is very similar to the snowfield, which is a natural protective color. The bodies of these beasts are ferocious and huge, and their fangs and claws flash with cold light, making them intimidating.

They were like a pack of wolves, possessing a certain discipline. They were huge but not chaotic, and without any buffer, they charged directly towards the observation station.

"They seem to have made a plan. Compared to the harsh environment on the surface, they obviously prefer fresh meat. If they rush into the observation station and follow the passage into the underground city, it would be... unthinkable."

Cheng Lin murmured.

The human troops obviously had the same idea. When the snow beasts entered the shooting range, the original ventilation opening of the observation station suddenly turned into a muzzle. The guns and cannons that were urgently transported to the surface roared at the same time, tilting the firepower away. Suddenly, the snow

The beasts ushered in a large number of deaths.

However, in just one night, the ammunition delivered is limited after all, and these things are extremely powerful. Ordinary bullets will not affect the movement much unless they hit the vital point.

After a short delay, the snow beasts finally rushed forward.

Then, the sound of gunfire all over the sky stopped, and Cheng Lin saw many practitioners coming out!

Decades have passed, and many strong men have been born in the underground city.

Through the spiritual energy fluctuations in the distance, Cheng Lin suddenly discovered that there were suspected eighth-level experts among them, and there was more than one.

"Then does the ninth grade exist in the underground city?"

He guessed and continued watching.

The picture suddenly began to speed up... like slides quickly passing in front of him.

[The fight between humans and snow beasts has begun. At first, human society still had a certain degree of contempt for these guys, but soon, the horrific casualty figures quickly made the entire underground city nervous]

[The powerful snow beast rapidly consumed ammunition reserves, and the Underground City Management Committee quickly declared a state of emergency war. All factories went all out to manufacture ammunition to supply ground combat troops. All construction projects were temporarily suspended, and all resources were provided to the ground]

[Observation Station No. 5 was upgraded to “Fortress No. 5”]

[However, this still cannot ease the tense battle situation]

[The remaining observation stations immediately started to transform their defense systems. Due to their northern location, they are not the main place for war for the time being]

[The practitioners also suffered a large number of casualties. All the combat practitioners rushed to the ground to fight. Facing the snow beasts, the first-level practitioners had very little effect, while the second-level practitioners could only play a role. The main pressure was borne by the high-level experts.

However, the snow beasts also have powerful elites, many of whom are equivalent to high-level human beings]

[On the tenth day of the war, the Beast King took action and killed the eighth-level human beings in one fell swoop. Fortress No. 5 fell for the first time. The ground combat troops started emergency contraction defense measures. Relying on the terrain, they retreated step by step. On that day, the only ninth-level human in the underground city

The strong man arrived on the surface and fought a decisive battle with the beast king. Both sides suffered losses, and humans reoccupied the fortress]

[On the 28th, the human commander took the risk and sent troops into the snowfield in an attempt to sneak attack the snow beasts. They encountered a heavy snowstorm and failed miserably. The snow beast troops took the opportunity to attack and Fortress No. 5 fell for the second time.]

[On the 36th day, new weapons arrived, and humans regained the dominance of the fortress]

[On the 63rd day, the fortress fell for the third time]

【Seventy-fifth day...】

【Day 143...】

In my mind, each piece of information is like a dense public screen in a game. Each piece of information means the death of countless lives.

The blood dyed the snow-capped mountains red, then was buried in the snowstorm, and then dyed red again...

The dead snow beasts and human corpses were robbed by both sides. The meat of the snow beasts was also nutritious and high-energy food for humans. As for the snow beasts... they would eat anything, whether it was plants, people, or the same kind.

In front of Cheng Lin, Fortress No. 5 seemed to have become a huge meat grinder. People died every day and became food.

Only when there is a huge snowstorm will the two sides temporarily cease fighting.

This war slowly became the norm, which caused the social structure of the entire underground city to change again.

[The battle situation has fallen into a stalemate, with Fortress No. 5 as the front line, and both sides have a winner and a loser. The dungeon even changed the way of counting for this reason, declaring with an attitude full of pessimism and perseverance that the "Era of Resistance" has begun]

[As time passed, the snow beasts did not leave, but seemed to intend to settle here. There were forests and a large number of sheltered places excavated for the construction of underground cities nearby. This was favored by the snow beasts, and their greed for humans prompted them to

They can’t hover]

[In this way, two years passed, and neither side seemed to be able to do anything to the other, until one morning...]

The information in my mind stopped abruptly.

The scene in front of Cheng Lin also froze.



early morning.

Seems like a very ordinary morning.

There's just no sun.

It's a cloudy day.

Light radiation penetrates the broken atmosphere and is obscured by clouds.

The temperature is very low today, much lower than usual.

The wind wasn't too strong, but it started snowing at dawn.

The heavy snow covering the sky is a normal sight.



Fortress No. 5.

The surface of the white and red mountain is covered with wounds and collapses caused by years of fighting.

The Snow Beast Troop briefly evacuated last night and rested on the snowfield not far away.

The bells that humans refer to time echo in the snowy mountains. According to the rules, the resistance forces will have breakfast and routine cleaning of the battlefield, maintenance of equipment and other tasks when the bells ring. The snow beasts are still sleeping at this time and do not disturb each other.

It's funny to say that after two years of fighting, the two sides have already reached certain unwritten "tacit understandings", such as when to attack and when to cease fighting and rest...

It's just today... the early morning bell is a bit special. It's particularly sad, desolate, and has a sense of mourning. It's accompanied by heavy snow in the sky, like a death knell. The entire snow-capped mountain is filled with some kind of depressive color. On the mountain peak.

The flag representing humanity was replaced with a wisp of white silk at some unknown time.

Cheng Lin was a little surprised when he heard the distant bell:

"For whom does this death knell toll?"

[In the early morning of this day, the only ninth-grade strongman in the dungeon broke out from a hidden disease and died. Humanity’s greatest deterrent against snow beasts fell]

This piece of information rang softly in my mind.

Next, Cheng Lin was surprised to see that the snow beast army that was supposed to be sleeping woke up.

They seemed to sense something and were awakened. However, they did not launch an attack on the fortress, but instead gathered into a huge defense array!

"The ninth level of humanity has fallen, and there are no nuclear weapons. What are they defending against? Shouldn't they take this opportunity to launch a general attack?"

Cheng Lin was surprised and confused.

[The ninth level of humanity has fallen, and the biggest crisis has been resolved. The King of Snow Beasts will advance to the realm of the Earth Emperor today. Once the advancement is successful, humans will have no power to resist, and countless humans in underground cities will become food.]

[Congratulations on completing the task (3)]

[Mission (Part 4): In order to save mankind from the unprecedented crisis, you decide to go to the Snow Beast Camp and kill the Beast King before he is promoted to the Emperor of the Earth!]. Mobile version website: m.
