Beast Tide Erupts! Monsters Besiege the City

Since civilians had not appeared on the streets for a long time, quite a few weeds had now grown along the roadsides and sidewalks.

The entire city looked far more desolate.

Fully armed soldiers could be seen everywhere along the streets.

These soldiers were completely covered in specially made Combat Suits, with all kinds of weapons hanging from their bodies. They held Large-caliber Rifles and immediately opened fire whenever Mutated Creatures appeared.

Fortunately, land-based Mutated Creatures evolved somewhat more slowly. Most land-based Mutated Creatures had not yet reached Beast Soldier Level, and large-caliber bullets could still effectively kill them.

Whenever they encountered true Beast Soldier Level Monsters, the soldiers would join forces and bring out heavy weapons such as Heavy Sniper Rifles and Grenade Launchers to send them on their way.

In such an atmosphere,

the entirety of Jiangnan City had fallen into a state of constant alarm.

Huaxia's authorities had also planned out Centralized Settlement Areas in advance.

They relocated all nearby civilians inside the City Defense Perimeter and urgently mobilized all kinds of supplies to ensure their survival.

By then, the leaders had already realized the severity of the situation.

At the end of August, before the Island Nation was completely destroyed, they made an extremely important decision.

"That was to center around major cities and relocate all nearby civilians into the City Defense Perimeter. As for rural residents, news broadcasts would be played around the clock, telling them to immediately make their own way to the nearest county town, where they would be transferred in an organized manner."

But Huaxia's population was simply too large.

Especially the population in mountainous rural areas; only a small portion had been transferred in time.

By September 1,

the population on land also began suffering large-scale attacks from Monsters. Some were small groups of Monsters, while others were led by Beast General Level Monster Commanders.

For a time,

scenes of life and death played out across Huaxia!

Some entire families died in the jaws of Monsters.

Some families were fortunate enough to have one or two members escape.

These people had survived the Double R Virus, only to die beneath the assault of the Beast Tide or during evacuation.

During this period, large numbers of troops were still transporting massive quantities of weapons to the outskirts of Jiangnan City to construct defensive fortifications.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu, who had already moved into Wang Lin's home, had prepared himself to act at any moment.

A few days earlier, when the Island Nation had been completely overrun by Monsters, Wang Lin had invited Yang Yu and Grandpa Yang to take refuge at his home.

Although the Xingfu Residential District where Yang Yu and the others lived was also within the City Defense Perimeter, it was rather close to the front line where battles against the Monsters took place.

As members of the truly wealthy class, Wang Lin's family did not need to obey the arrangements and move into the settlement areas.

After arriving at Wang Lin's villa and seeing the fully armed bodyguards,

Yang Yu began to view Wang Lin's father, Wang Fei, in a new light.

He had previously thought Wang Fei was merely an ordinary businessman.

But now, it seemed that Wang Fei's identity and status were anything but simple, considering he could acquire so many weapons and bodyguards without having to live in an officially designated settlement.

Moreover, living here was indeed much safer.

This was especially true for an elderly man like Grandpa Yang, who was already over seventy. Even though his Physical Fitness had improved somewhat, facing the Beast Tide was still extremely dangerous.

Even with a Strong Expert like Yang Yu protecting him,

they might encounter Monsters with special abilities at any time.

Such as poisonous gas, hallucinations, deadly mutated insects, and so on.

In such an environment, Yang Yu could not guarantee his grandfather's safety one hundred percent.

Therefore, coming here was the best choice.

Once he confirmed that this place was truly safe, Yang Yu would help the military resist the Monsters.

After all, Yang Yu's Physical Fitness had already reached the level of a Senior War General. His Spiritual Force had also grown in tandem, reaching the Intermediate War God level, and he had fully mastered the Quad-tasking Technique.

Although his Fist Technique and Blade Technique had yet to enter the Grandmaster realm,

Yang Yu was still not worried.

Such strength was enough for Self-protection even amid the Beast Tide.

Although he had seen quite a few Monsters on earlier television broadcasts that could completely withstand Heavy Machine Guns and Large-caliber Rifles.

There were even occasional glimpses of freakish Monsters capable of taking missiles head-on.

Yang Yu still remained composed.

With the formidable Spiritual Force of an Intermediate War God,

these Monsters could not threaten him for the time being.

Finally, on the morning of September 2,

the brief peace was completely shattered!

Land Monsters, sea Monsters, and flying Monsters filled the sky as they began attacking Jiangnan City from all directions.

Fortunately, several months earlier, Huaxia had already begun urgently constructing three defensive lines around Jiangnan City under the guise of military exercises!

The first two defensive lines were both areas covered by firepower.

The third line was a high wall only recently poured from concrete and reinforced steel. It could also serve as a buffer against Monsters that escaped the firepower net.

Fortunately, it was precisely because these defensive lines existed that Jiangnan City had the means to resist.

When the Monsters besieged the city, Jiangnan TV Station immediately began live coverage.

On the outermost battlefield,

it had already become a true hell on earth.

"Hold the line!"

"You must hold the line!"

"Behind us are our unarmed compatriots! We must stop these Monsters!"

A Middle-aged man who looked like an officer roared orders into a radio.

But the thunderous explosions, the sweeping fire of Heavy Machine Guns, and the sounds of battle had long drowned out the officer's voice.

Every Soldier fought desperately, madly pouring out the ammunition in their hands.

Once their ammunition was exhausted, they picked up specially made weapons such as War Blades, Long Swords, and Long Spears to fight the Monsters in close combat!

Over the preceding months,

while fighting Mutated Creatures, the military had actually gained considerable insight into dealing with Monsters.

Many higher-quality weapons and Combat Suits had also been produced.

On the battlefield,

every Soldier fought desperately.

This was a war they could not lose!

On the high-definition television broadcast, Yang Yu and the others watched the battle between the military and the Monsters in the living room, holding their breath.

Because of Wang Fei's special connections, many scenes that could not be broadcast publicly were transmitted here through special channels.

What ordinary civilians saw were relatively mild scenes, without the bloodshed and brutality before their eyes.

But everyone with real influence knew that the critical moment of life and death had arrived.

If they did not even dare to watch the broadcast footage, then when faced with real death, they would not even have the courage to run.

Sure enough, eighteen-year-old Wang Lin had initially felt nervous and uncomfortable while watching the brutal scenes before him. But when he thought of what would happen if they failed to hold the line and these Monsters flooded into the city, he realized it would be a true disaster!

At that point, fear would no longer be the issue.

Even Yang Yu had initially felt rather uncomfortable seeing severed limbs flying across the broadcast, human soldiers being devoured by Monsters, and shells blasting both humans and Monsters into the air.

But after only a few minutes, Yang Yu's gaze became incomparably resolute.

These soldiers were risking their lives against the Monsters to protect them. They were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, yet when facing overwhelming Mutated Creatures far more powerful than themselves, they showed not the slightest sign of retreat!

This was a battle concerning the survival of all Huaxia!
