Chapter 228: Chapter 213: The Exchange of the Inspired_3
The remaining Southern City Guards still held crossbows, ready for battle.
Under the leadership of Duan Jie and Zhao Yaqian from two directions, they encircled the streets outside the industrial park, cleaning up monsters according to the strategies of the Tree Domain.
Although they could not construct solid walls like Su Han to block the streets, they could drag a large number of abandoned cars, or even use fully loaded trucks to block the streets completely.
Although not as sturdy as the walls, it was enough to complete the cleaning mission.
Duan Jie took the lead, using his Spiritual Beast Transformation Talent to charge ahead, collaborating with two Angel Envoys to continuously kill monsters.
Even Second Grade monsters, with high grade strength, could not halt his advance; his talent enhanced his keenness in battle significantly.
Often, in situations where the strength was similar, Duan Jie could keenly seize the opportunity to attack, striking deadly blows.
Spiritual Energy rifles in conjunction, many emerging monsters were killed in one shot.
In Zhao Yaqian’s area, as a seer, her perception ability was her strongest asset.
Hidden monsters and potential dangers were all within her perception, with warriors holding rifles firing precisely under her command.
Even Second Grade monsters, barely emerging, were mercilessly attacked, sometimes even with Spiritual Energy bombs.
After some time, her progress was even faster than Duan Jie’s.
Within two days, the initial battle was won, and the South City camp successfully expanded the first street outside the industrial park as their bridgehead.
…
Similar to the actions at South City camp, the expansion of the Tree Domain Camp was equally shocking, and even more terrifying.
Once the Second Ring Area was more secure, Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, Guo Gang, and others led teams to break into the edge areas of the Second Ring to push forward.
Their weapons were no longer just simple crossbows, but were equipped with Spiritual Energy rifles, greatly enhancing their combat effectiveness.
The so-called Spiritual Energy rifle, structurally simple, was easily crafted by Su Han’s metal control.
The more essential component was the creation of the primer.
A mixture of Spiritual Energy minerals or Crystal Mine Fruit powder, mixed with Lamp Tree Crystal powder and a certain proportion of monster material powder, formed the new primer.
With the release of energy, it could burst forth with a power even more terrifying than conventional gunpowder.
Each bullet fired would leave a huge hole in a monster’s body, causing blood to flow and flesh to scatter.
With such powerful weapons, the effective attack distance of the Tree Domain troops suddenly doubled, and in combination with the Radiance of the Lamp Tree and the power of the Lamp Tree Crystal, cleaning up was as easy as a breeze sweeping fallen leaves.
A large number of monsters were killed, heaps of monsters turned into corpses and materials, and more monsters were driven out of the northern city area as they advanced.
Hidden Fallen Ones did attempt to attack, but this time, both Old Zhu and Gan Xinglei possessed talents, and their combat strength had already increased significantly, making a successful surprise attack not an easy feat.
“The construction team will repair the wall, everyone else follow me to keep watch around. We’ll pull out at night, understood?”
Zhu Xiong assigned tasks, and his men immediately accepted the order, swiftly dispersing to allocate manpower.
In this suburban junction, Zhang Dahai, who had come with the team, led a construction crew of over a hundred, each handling a Black Rock Tree Monster as they began to work on the wall.
This was already the most outer area of the northern city district. The buildings no longer densely packed high-rise buildings, some were just solitary structures, or individual plots, making the area seem somewhat spacious.
“Old Zhu, this position is not far from the oil depot and Heshan Steel Transfer Center.”
Gan Xinglei moved closer to Zhu Xiong and asked.
“Right, once part of the wall is repaired and the monsters are cleared, we can start working on these two locations.”
Zhu Xiong’s eyes flickered, where to clear monsters and which section of the wall to build first was all considered.
Although it’s impossible to take down the entire northern city at once, making a step-by-step plan is completely feasible.
“Do you think South City camp just simply gave us information on the oil depot that easily? We were supposed to develop it together previously.”
Gan Xinglei’s eyes flickered with suspicion. When they attacked Qingbei Grain Depot, there was an agreement to take down an oil depot in South City together.
However, over the past one or two months, not mentioning the drastic changes in the fog, each side’s expansions had put this matter on hold, so now that South City was proactively putting forth the idea seemed almost unthinkable.
“It’s not impossible.”
