AWB Chapter 218 Repelling the Sea Monster
Chapter 218 Repelling the Sea Monster
Because of the jellyfish's lightning-resistant properties, Zhou Yang had Xiao Hu retreat first.
The moment Xiaohu returned to the city, all the mutated jellyfish hurled their lightning balls at him.
Fortunately, the earth-elemental ability users in the front row had already built a protective barrier, and then the metal-elemental ability users created a long row of lightning rods to attract all the lightning balls that were hitting them, and then channeled all the electricity into the ground.
Even if any lightning orbs slipped through the net, they would be dealt with by the other ability users responsible for defense, or absorbed directly by Shen Zechuan, and none of them would fall into the base.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who had been driven back by Xiao Hu, under the protection of the mutated jellyfish, made a comeback and stormed the city wall again in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers tried to stop them, but because the mutated jellyfish overhead were covering them, they kept hurling lightning balls down, leaving them no time to spare. They were only able to intercept less than 50% of them.
More mutated sea monsters successfully crossed the defense line and fell into the base, heading towards the base gate where the crowd was gathered as soon as they landed.
Seeing this, Fu Guoliang, who was guarding the base gate below, had no choice but to send some more people to deal with the sea monsters falling from above.
As more and more sea monsters fell down, the men Fu Guoliang sent were simply not enough to fight them off. Zhou Yang had no choice but to send Xiao Hu and Wan Dou to help, and only then was the situation brought under control.
But there were just too many sea monsters coming from the sea, and they kept coming in endlessly.
Gradually, it became increasingly difficult both on the city walls and inside the base.
Meanwhile, the jellyfish army moved even closer to the base. If this continued, once the defenses were breached, so many jellyfish could take over the base directly.
On the city wall, Yan Qian deflected a lightning ball that was flying towards him, and looked at the mutated jellyfish above his head, as well as the endless swarm of sea monsters that kept being transported over in the distance, and felt a headache coming on.
This won't do. We must first clear out these mutated jellyfish, then deal with these annoying shrimp and crab soldiers, and then push the battle line back, preferably directly to the vicinity of the coastline.
Yan Qian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then called over Zhou Xian and the heads of the Hangzhou and Shicheng rescue teams. The group then buried their heads and began to discuss the matter.
A few minutes later, the group finally came up with a feasible plan, and then hurriedly sent someone to find Fu Guoliang.
They didn't bring many firearms, and most of them were small to medium-sized guns and ammunition; the larger ones still had to be sourced from the Shanghai base.
After hearing this, Fu Guoliang hesitated, as their gunpowder depot didn't have much stock left.
But if we don't use them now, we might not even be able to defend the base. We can only grit our teeth and send someone to retrieve the few remaining short-range missiles.
More than a dozen missiles were quickly transported over, lined up, and aimed at the mutated jellyfish that were gradually approaching the city from outside the city walls.
Because the satellite system was disconnected after the apocalypse, even missile launches could only be controlled manually. So at this moment, a soldier stood next to each missile, ready to launch at any time.
Seeing that the missiles below had been deployed, Yan Qian, Zhou Xian, and the others immediately issued an order to everyone on the city wall to take cover.
Two minutes later, more than a dozen missiles were launched simultaneously, targeting the mutated jellyfish swarm.
"Bang!" "Thud!"
As the missile struck its target and exploded, more than a dozen mutated jellyfish screamed and fell amidst the gunfire. One of them crashed directly into the base, threatening to crush the crowd. Zhou Yang simply enlarged a pea-shaped object to the side and knocked the mutated jellyfish aside, also sending it into a burst of flames.
The massive jellyfish army was decimated in the blink of an eye, with more than half lost. The remaining few jellyfish, though not directly hit, were still damaged by the force of the missile.
Seeing that the effect was good, Yan Qian and the others took advantage of the fact that the remaining jellyfish had not yet reacted and immediately commanded everyone to use their superpowers to continue the attack.
After a barrage of attacks, two more jellyfish were knocked down.
Seeing that they were not getting anywhere, the remaining mutated jellyfish immediately decided to retreat. One of them cried out and immediately retreated, and the others followed suit.
Yan Qian and his group did not intend to let these mutated jellyfish go so easily, but countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals blocked their way.
Left with no other choice, they could only deal with these low-level sea monsters first. By the time everyone had dealt with some of them, the mutated jellyfish had already retreated to the rear.
However, it doesn't matter. Yan Qian and his team have achieved their first objective. Next, they need to figure out a way to counterattack.
Remembering the vines that had previously displayed great power, Yan Qian then summoned all the plant-type ability users and asked them to urge the mutated plants to deal with the sea monsters, hoping to move the battle line back a hundred meters.
Zhou Yang was also called over, and Chi Feng was naturally among them.
The other plant-based ability users all looked troubled, saying that their highest level was only Level 4 (beginner), and they could only provide protection in a small area. Moving the front line back was giving them too much credit.
Ultimately, this task naturally fell to Zhou Yang and Chi Feng, while the other plant-based ability users assisted from the sidelines.
Zhou Yang and Chi Feng had no objections.
Both of them simultaneously deployed their mutated plants.
Little Tiger grew up again and swept away a large group with his first move.
Everyone had witnessed Little Tiger's power, so no one was surprised.
What impressed them was Chifeng, who had consistently performed poorly.
He conjured a mutated plant from one hand, which took root as soon as it landed. Under the stimulation of Chi Feng's supernatural power, it directly transformed into a towering tree and attacked in the opposite direction of Zhou Yang's vines.
That lightning-fast attack was clearly not something a level 5 player could achieve.
This guy must be a Level 6 pro!
They must have been hiding their true abilities all along.
Although I can't understand why they would hide their strength, now is not the time to dwell on that question.
With the coordinated efforts of Zhou Yang and Chi Feng, the battle line was quickly moved back to a distance of more than 100 meters from the base.
The base gate was then safely secured.
After leaving some of the ability users on the city wall to prevent other sea monsters from invading from above, Yan Qian and the others took the rest of their men directly to the outside of the base, near the line of Zhou Yang and Chi Feng's mutated plants.
At this point, there were less than two hours until dawn. Although the sky was still overcast, some things could already be vaguely seen.
Outside the city, all that could be seen were sea monsters. The zombies that should have been roaming outside the city had long been crushed into dust by these sea monsters, and not a single one could be seen.
After observing for only a short while, Yan Qian gestured backward.
The warriors and superhumans behind them immediately rushed forward and joined the battle, working together with the two mutated plants to push the battle line further back.
