Advent Faction Organization
A commotion suddenly broke out at the camp entrance.
The pickup truck sped into the camp entrance, followed by the screech of brakes. A cacophony of incomprehensible languages filled the air, creating a headache. Li Yao peeked through the tent and found the area where the incident had occurred already surrounded by layers of people.
He put on the ring, sent a message to his best friend, and left the tent, asking as he walked, "What's all the commotion about?"
Upon meeting Li Yao,
Those independent cultivators consciously made way for Li Yao.
He now enjoys considerable prestige in this camp.
Ginawell just doesn't understand!
How did he do it? Looking back on everything that happened along the way... everything was so infuriating!
Lothar noticed her confusion and explained, "Didn't you notice that the people we robbed were all kept at a certain level of skill?"
There isn't a single fourth-tier level superhuman!
There isn't even a peak third-tier one.
Add to that the disunity of the independent cultivators, and Li Yao has them cornered! Oh! Ginawell looked enlightened—but in reality, she didn't understand at all! Lothar knew her well, and seeing this, simply gave up on explaining— Ginawell had already trained her tendons to the point of being brain-dead.
When Li Yao arrived at the pickup truck, he saw that it was covered in signs of a battle. The windows were shattered, and two tires were blown out. He didn't know how they had driven it back, and the driver's cab was covered in blood.
"Quickly, carry the person out!"
Li Yao pretended to take out Healing Spirit Liquid from his pocket and handed it to Ginawell: "Dilute it with water at a ratio of two to one and give it to them to drink."
He glanced around and saw that only five people had been helped off the car.
A full-strength hunting team consists of ten or more people.
That means the squad lost five or six men in the battle! Li Yao looked at the least injured alien who had driven back and asked, "What happened?"
The man had bullet wounds in his shoulder and abdomen, and blood was slowly seeping from the bullet holes in his body—this meant that the people who shot them were not Crystal Cluster Creature, but humans!
But that shouldn't be happening!
Even if independent cultivators are not well-liked by major organizations, they won't actively attack them!
Unless they do something stupid and reckless.
Meeting Li Yao's gaze, the man said, "We were attacked by the Advent Faction... Our teammates were either killed or captured."
After hearing the description, Li Yao roughly understood what had happened.
The squad was hunting a Beast-shaped Diamond Monster when, just as they were about to succeed, a group of people suddenly emerged from the dense forest. These people had diamonds growing from their bodies and attacked the squad upon seeing them! Caught off guard, the squad lost three members instantly! Afterward, many more diamond monsters emerged from the forest. Seeing the situation was not good, the squad immediately retreated, but they were still killed and four members were taken away.
After that person finished speaking,
The people in the camp looked at Li Yao as if they were waiting for him to uphold justice.
Li Yao thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Since they were able to kill the people who took us with them when you retreated, why did they let you go?"
The man immediately cried out in alarm, "I'm not a spy!"
Li Yao shook his head and said, "I know you're not, but those people deliberately let you go!"
Just then, Sauron emerged from the shadows and said, "A large wave of enemies is approaching from the south."
Li Yao nodded. "You led the way for them."
The man was immediately stunned...
"I... I didn't mean to..."
Li Yao ignored him.
He's not a political commissar; he doesn't have time to care about the psychology of these independent cultivators.
At this time, the most important thing is to build a defensive line!
Li Yao quickly turned around and ordered everyone in the camp to go on high alert, and reinforced the existing fortifications around the camp! Previously, they had only dug trenches around the camp.
Now Li Yao ordered them to dig the trenches deeper and build defensive fortifications with mud!
Li Yao shouted at Ginawell, "Bring out the heavy machine guns and howitzers!"
Ginawell exclaimed excitedly, "Alright!"
Finally, damn it, I don't have to keep accounts anymore! Li Yao then called Silas over, "Find a few quick-witted people to drive around to the various organizations' Military Camp and call for reinforcements! Be quick!"
Silas nodded solemnly, then turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Lothar and Alphonso both leaned over and asked, "Can't we stop them?"
They glanced at the heavy machine gun on the fortification under construction and the thick ammunition belts—for some reason, they felt a sense of security! Originally,
They typically build camps using only simple wooden fences and barbed Electric Net for isolation.
But after this guy arrived, he said this didn't look like a camp at all! So every day during their free time, he made the resting people dig trenches and build fortifications. At first, everyone was quite unhappy, wondering if they had done something to offend him and that's why he was making things difficult for them? But when they realized that digging could also pay off debts, they understood:
This person is serious!
There's no way around it; it's an infrastructure-building and farming bloodline ingrained in my bones.
Fortunately, this person persisted.
Otherwise, they might not even have any defense to resist when such a large wave of monsters surges over.
With these people now, plus over a hundred extraordinary individuals, we can't afford to be weak, right?
However, Li Yao could not be as optimistic as they were.
Sauron only said there was a large wave of enemies, but didn't specify how many.
It only told Li Yao through the Mind Link that there were as many as three hundred beast-shaped Crystal Cluster Creature heading to this camp, and even more humanoid Crystal Cluster Creature, numbering fifty.
and,
They were even carrying weapons made of Energy Diamond! Now Li Yao was certain...
The Crystal Cluster Creature here must have developed into civilization by now! Even if they haven't,
With the intervention of the Advent Faction, they should have developed a civilization by now!
Li Yao pursed his lips and said, "This will be a tough battle!"
If his hundred-odd men were soldiers from the Wallfacers' affiliated legion, he wouldn't have been confident of a decisive victory. But they were just a rabble. Moreover, they were mostly Inhumans with an average strength below the peak of the third tier. Most were at the second tier, and some were even at the First Rank.
So what if they have modern Hot Weapons? The Crystal Cluster Creature are already very strong defensively, and with the Advent Faction directing and coordinating them, they are even more difficult to deal with!
In fact, Li Yao also had ways to enhance their combat power—such as the Potential Seed he obtained from Queen Maeve, or enchanted firearms.
But those things are all too iconic!
Once his identity is revealed, it might be exposed! Li Yao is pondering and weighing the options...
Forced by the crisis, the independent cultivators worked at full capacity, giving 120% efficiency!
They were strong and fast, and managed to build the fortifications before the Crystal Cluster Creature even arrived!
However, after the arrival of the cluster of Crystal Cluster Creature,
Everyone's heart skipped a beat—
We're doomed!
This is going to kill someone!
Second update. I'm so sleepy, plus I have to catch a flight tomorrow... I haven't been able to calibrate much. I'll calibrate it on my phone tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.
