In the early hours of the morning, the dark blue gradually faded away, leaving only the outline of the tower in the night, revealing its clear lines.
After a long night, with the protection of the huge barrier and the joint efforts of Wujiu and Li You—
The tower is intact.
Although there are occasionally a few fish that slip through the net, it seems that the tower is more solid than everyone imagined.
"The evil ones' attack has slowed down... Does this mean that they are almost dead?"
As the sky gradually brightened, the staff officer looked into the distance and asked.
Although the evil in the distance is still a dark mass, there are some ruthless characters among them who can be seen to be strange, powerful and ruthless just by the naked eye.
But everyone could feel that the breath was weakening.
As night fell, the smell of evil seemed endless.
But now, although everyone feels depressed, it is very different from nightfall.
Wujiu and Li also had a rare opportunity to catch their breath.
"Are you not hurt?" Wujiu asked.
"Who are you looking down on?" Li replied unhappily.
I swear to God, Wujiu's words were absolutely out of pure concern.
But when it's said in a straight man's tone, it has a rather sarcastic tone.
Li glared at Wujiu fiercely again:
"Mind your own business. You are obviously not strong enough, but you still insist on showing off. If you are in danger, I will not save you."
Wujiu nodded:
"Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble if you get into danger."
Li was stunned again. She was very pleased with these words and her expression softened a lot.
Jing Eduo was still at the front with his back to everyone.
The mirror reflection field was always activated, but he did not feel tired.
On the contrary, several hours later, Wujiu's encouragement was still replaying in his mind, as if it had become some kind of buff.
The people in the front also changed into new equipment and replenished their ammunition.
Everyone was in a state of half relaxation and half alert, chatting intermittently.
In fact, all topics are related to the tower.
They had never imagined that the tower was so astonishingly high that there was no end in sight even if they looked up.
It's as if the tower has infinite floors.
Looking at the strange sequence of words on the wall of the tower, people always have countless fantasies about this spectacular, or even spectacular, building.
Where does it come from
Is it human civilization? Or some kind of extraterrestrial civilization
Will it really be destroyed
What is the purpose of these monsters attacking the tower
Although everyone has received the order to guard the tower, most of them do not know that the purpose of guarding the tower is not only to protect the survival home of mankind -
Is there any other more important meaning
They discussed these things, either pretending to be calm or feeling a little sad.
Even if we don't realize it, after this war, the world will enter a state of severe distortion, and the human living environment may be compressed to the limit.
But they could still feel that this would be a fierce battle.
Lin Wurou looked at Wang Shi:
"I remember your father was on the third level. You came to our legion to experience life."
Shang Xiaoyi also looked at Wang Shi.
Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Lin were elsewhere, and Yin Shuang was in the middle, so the vanguard group of Team 7 did not get together.
Just three grown men together.
Shang Xiaoyi, Wang Shi, and Lin Wurou. The topic they were talking about had nothing to do with the tower.
Wang Shi shook his head and said:
"The third floor was too comfortable. My idol at first was Captain Liu, who always took the lead and guarded his teammates behind him..."
"But then I came to the 7th team, which was pretty good. Although the captain had a different style from Captain Liu, they were essentially the same kind of people."
Wang Shi avoided the topic of his family. It wasn't that he was shy about talking about anything, but in this situation, he wanted to talk about his comrades.
Lin Wurou said:
"It's boring. I, ahem, you are not allowed to tell anyone. I admire Bai Wu a lot. Fighting should be as efficient as him."
Wang Shi chuckled:
"That's right. Bai Wu is also very powerful. Apart from the captain, he is the most powerful one."
"The captain is not as powerful as Bai Wu, right?"
"How could that be? The captain is obviously more powerful."
Shang Xiaoyi looked at Wang Shi and Lin Wurou quarreling again and smiled:
"They are all very powerful, but I agree with Wang Shi. Ah, don't look at me like that, Wu Rou. I'm not saying that Bai Wu is not powerful, but I like the captain more."
Lin Wu Rou agreed with this point. In his opinion, the captain was more trustworthy, although in his heart he thought that Bai Wu was more powerful.
After all, in the battle of the shelter, Bai Wu showed his powerful strength.
"I agree with the captain's philosophy... There has to be someone at the front, someone has to protect teammates, right?" Shang Xiaoyi scratched his head.
"That's true, but Captain Liu is willing to protect the captain and serve as the captain's shield. It's not entirely due to his personality. The captain just has this kind of charm. He is willing to protect others, and others are also willing to protect him." Wang Shi said.
Lin Wu Rou agreed with this point. Although he was a little troll and although he thought the captain was surpassed by Bai Wu, he also thought that the captain was more charming.
"Well... the captain and Captain Liu are both like this. It's a pity that Captain Liu can't work with the captain anymore."
The original Team 7 and Liu Mu's Team 13 actually had a very good relationship.
When Bai Wu first entered the Survey Corps and was interrogated, Liu Mu was in Team 7.
The relationship between Team 13 and Team 7 is similar to that between Liu Mu and Team 59.
But as Liu Mu turned evil, they eventually became estranged.
"Captain Liu just changed the way he protects the captain. Besides, who says they can't work together? After the war, they can at least build a shelter together." Wang Shi said with a silly smile.
Lin Wu Rou nodded, that was indeed the truth.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a good rest now. There will definitely be a tough battle to fight next."
The three members of Team Seven soon became busy again; they had experienced too many dangerous situations.
Even though he is not as good as Bai Wu Wu Jiu and other legendary people whose lives are full of tricks, he still understands how to survive better than most people in the Survey Corps.
To survive one life-and-death battle after another, you have to be more cautious and better prepared than anyone else.
…
…
High tower.
While everyone outside the tower started the battle, those inside the tower were busy transferring the last few waves of "conservatives".
All those whose companion power is above level three participated in the battle to guard outside the tower.
But there are also many people who are unable to participate, most of whom are low-level miners or people working inside the tower on the second or third floors.
What Yan Zizai needs to do now is to lead this group of people to start the transfer.
He started this work shortly after returning from Baiwu.
Naturally, there were many obstacles along the way, and these obstacles were exactly the same as what Bai Wu had imagined at the beginning.
People are afraid of changing their environment.
If they were suddenly asked to leave the tower where they had lived for hundreds of years, some people would definitely be unwilling to do so.
When Yan Zizai proposed the concept of shelter, many people sneered.
Many rumors also arose inside the tower.
However, due to Yan Zizai's tough attitude, some stubborn elements became more resistant.
Soon, a so-called "leader" came to talk to Yan Zizai.
"We took great pains to build the lower three floors. In the darkness that lasted for dozens of days, we finally got the chance to be on equal footing with the nobles."
"But now, you want us to leave? Then all our efforts will be in vain?"
"Look at this brand new tower! Look! Our ancestors have worked hard for seven hundred years, and finally the fate of the lower class has changed! Those nobles who are high up in the sky finally no longer have privileges!"
"You want us to give up all this?"
"We are not leaving! The tower is not just your ruler's tower! It's our tower too!"
This set of rhetoric can be said to occupy a very high moral high ground.
A lot of it isn't true, but that's just how people are.
It seems as if everyone really worked hard for seven hundred years to break down the class barriers.
It was as if all of this was the result of accumulated effort and there was no need for some powerful being to put an end to it.
Many people from the lower three levels began to join in the commotion.
Some even believe that everything is a conspiracy for the distribution of wealth and resources.
The noble lords will remain in the tower, while these people will be exiled to the so-called refuge.
"What kind of tower defense battle is this? No one really thinks there will be a war, right?"
"The tower was destroyed by monsters? I believe this to some extent."
“It’s all just a conspiracy, to trick us into going to the shelter and then redistribute our property!
”
So during those few days, all kinds of strikes, demonstrations and marches took place everywhere on the lower three floors.
However, these problems were eventually handled by Yan Zizai.
Yan Zizai takes these issues very seriously.
Since Bai Wu has entrusted me to stay in the tower, there must be no problems in transporting the tower personnel to the shelter.
His solution was simple. Just last night, he asked several civilian leaders on the three lower floors to leave the tower.
They were sent to the rear of the tower defense battle.
These people from the lower three classes, who were chosen as "leaders" because of their eloquence and good popularity, truly felt the horror of the battlefield.
Seeing the evil rushing in like a tide from afar, I was so scared that my legs went weak.
They have been mining all their lives, in the white area, and are also protected by the Survey Corps.
Where have you ever seen such a big scene
Looking at the bullets all over the sky, and seeing various strange creatures through the telescope -
What about wealth distribution, what about the tower never falling, what about the sanctuary conspiracy theory... all are gone.
As arrogant as they are when facing humans, they are as timid when facing evil.
Also returning were some frontline personnel with missing limbs.
During the few hours of the ceasefire between the two armies, some of them returned to the tower and recounted the horrific events that occurred during the charge.
"The black fog... was like a monster's mouth. We were only a few dozen meters away from rushing in..."
"If it weren't for the captain and his friends who tried their best to stop us, there would be no way we could come back alive... It's terrible."
Although with the joint efforts of Wujiu and Li You, the pressure on the vanguard troops was much less.
But many people still died and many were seriously injured.
The oral accounts of these people and the pale faces of several leaders when they returned instantly made people feel a sense of reality - "the tower is about to fall."
And Yan Zizai then mentioned:
"Those who have gone to the shelter have probably already chosen the best residential areas. I am not a heartless person. If you really have faith in the tower, then we will stay here and live and die with the tower!"
This tactic of playing hard to get was really well played by Yan Zizai.
For most people, all they talk about is slogans, but all they care about is their wallets.
Naturally, there are many brave men who are willing to go to the battlefield and live and die with the tower.
But a considerable number of people care more about having priority in resource allocation if they go to the shelter first.
This is the key.
So just as the day began to dawn on the tower battlefield, a vigorous transfer began inside the tower.
All the people who were still in the tower packed up their pots and pans.
Those treasures in the bargain port that were usually seen as bargains finally shed their treasure coats at this time.
It's just like waste and no one wants it.
Everyone brought with them the essential items needed to take refuge, and there were very few actual items for spiritual support.
Upon hearing the report that the population statistics in the tower had all begun to be relocated, Yan Zizai breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Xingzhi was in charge of the shelter.
There are still many mysteries in the tower, but these puzzles can no longer be solved.
The Yan family manor was empty, even the servants had been dismissed.
At this time, there was silence inside the tower.
Yan Zizai slowly went to the fourth floor, looked at those black towers that looked like fangs, and then went to the third floor.
The third floor was the busiest in the past.
There are many facilities from the pre-tower era here.
Movie theaters, high-end restaurants, amusement parks, and various buildings in the style of the pre-Tower era.
The streets that used to be crowded with people were suddenly deserted.
Walking on the street, the footsteps are so clear.
As a guardian, Yan Zizai suddenly laughed, and the laughter echoed in the empty streets.
His smile was not one of misery; it had no other meaning, it was just pure happiness.
Everyone thought that leaving the tower was a compromise, a concession.
But he knew very well that only when mankind walked out of the tower could it make real progress.
Yan Zizai raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the fourth floor, but his thoughts were still on the levels above.
He already knew that Bai Wu had gone to the sixth floor not long ago.
Bai Wu was worried that he might be in danger, so he told Yan Zizai some things.
Yan Zizai was certain that the white mist should still be in the tower because the time limit for teleporting the stone tablet had not yet expired.
"I have completed my mission. Next, I will go fight for the tower."
He seemed to be speaking words of farewell to the white mist.
Then he turned around and headed towards the eastern square on the ground floor.
…
…
Outside the tower.
The morning dew has not yet dissipated, but the short rest is over.
It was already daylight, which made the view even better.
"These evil creatures didn't attack immediately, but why did we get a signal to prepare for war from the front?" The staff officer felt very strange.
After he handed the telescopic device to Qin Zong, Qin Zong looked towards the front.
When he saw the figure in front clearly, Qin Zong widened his eyes and said in a panic:
"The toughest enemy has appeared."
The staff officer had not experienced the battle of the shelter, so he did not know which was the most difficult enemy.
At the forefront of the battlefield, outside the huge mirror-reflecting barrier, three figures appeared.
Merchant, blacksmith, and Jingwu.
The staff officer quickly understood why the regiment commander was so nervous.
Jingwu moved forward slowly, and countless huge evil creatures made way for him.
It was like a king inspecting his territory. All the evil ones were like his subjects, automatically submitting to him just by the powerful aura he exuded.
Although it was unclear how powerful the opponent was, the staff officer knew very well that this suddenly appearing humanoid evil creature was definitely not on the same level as other evil creatures.
…
…
On the other side of the huge ravine, Wujiu frowned as he looked at a tiny figure outside the mirror-reversal barrier.
Although many evil ones have been killed so far, Wujiu is very clear that he cannot relax as long as the top-level well-level ones do not appear.
He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Although he had been training outside the tower for a long time, Wujiu was very clear that even if Jingwu did not use any tricks, there was still a big gap between him and the opponent.
He held the knife and stared at Jingwu with all his attention.
At this moment, for Wujiu, the battle has just begun.
"Don't be so nervous." It was Li You who spoke.
Li glanced at Wujiu again, his eyes calm.
"King versus king, soldier versus soldier, if a tough guy comes, I will naturally deal with him. What are you afraid of?"
"He is very dangerous, completely different from other evildoers." Wujiu did not deny his fear of the Tic-Cic level.
So far, he has not taken advantage of anyone.
Whether it is the shelter, the mechanical city, or the giant tentacle monster controlled by Jing Sizhixin encountered in Denglin City.
He is the strongest among humans, so he knows very well how difficult it is to cross that gap.
Li said arrogantly:
"I said, come on, we'll fight back."
Her figure flashed and she was outside the barrier in an instant.
Wujiu was a little worried, so he also activated the Instant Shadow and appeared next to Li You.
Wujiu and Li You were only a few dozen meters away from Well Five.
It was then that Wujiu realized... something seemed wrong with the merchant and the blacksmith.
It was difficult for him to tell what was wrong, but he had a feeling that Jingwu's two followers lacked some kind of spiritual energy.
Like two walking corpses.
Jing Wu looked at Li You without saying anything. He could feel the dangerousness of Li You.
But he didn't care too much.
As long as the white fog is gone, no one on the entire battlefield can resist his domain.
Although he was severely injured by Ni Jing before, he became more familiar with the use of dismantling and reshaping all things in the torture of life and death.
So even if Bai Wu is here, Jing Wu doesn't think that Bai Wu can change much in a short period of time.
Although Bai Wu possesses the most powerful means, Bai Wu's vitality is not enough to exert its power.
Jingwu looked at Wujiu:
"Bai Wu doesn't seem to be here. Is he dead?"
Perhaps because he was defeated by Bai Wu time and time again, Jing Wu has already regarded Bai Wu as his archenemy.
Of course, he couldn't let his old enemy die at the hands of someone else, even if that person was Jing Si.
So he always assumed that Bai Wu was still alive.
He wanted Bai Wu to watch his former companions die one by one.
But now the white fog did not appear, which made Jingwu a little disappointed.
It's just a woman, a dwarf, and a person with a disgusting aura.
How could three people like this possibly stop me
