The scarred Yang Wenshou was entangled in the monster's tongue again, and was about to be pulled into the bloody mouth in front of him, but no one around him could come to rescue in time.
Seeing this, Yang Wenshou refused to advance and retreated. After letting out the last roar of his life, the only sound thigh left on his body suddenly exerted force.
He just crashed into the monster's mouth, but luckily he didn't feel any pain, because soon they rolled into a ball and fell off the city wall.
This collision bought Hope City precious time. Before another monster could come through the gap, the support troops had already arrived.
But Yang Wenshou couldn't survive. After he and the monster fell into the turbulent current under the city wall, he left this world completely with a disgusting chewing sound.
This was a heroic sacrifice, but it did not attract the attention of others for too long, because tragic fights like this were happening every moment on the city walls.
At this time, the situation in Hope City is so critical that all twelve-year-old members, regardless of gender, need to join the battle.
Either as a front-line unit, fighting against the invading monsters on the city wall, or as a rotation to build up physical strength at the back.
Yes, all members over the age of twelve, and there is no upper limit to this age, no matter how old you are at this time, you have to participate in this battle.
After all, an old man who is too old to walk will not be able to survive to this moment in the apocalypse, so those who can be called old people today can at least walk.
But as they enter old age, the income they can create for the city-state becomes less and less. If they are put into this bloody meat grinder, even if they die in battle, they can reduce the non-working population of the city-state.
This is just the way to handle the current situation. If they wait until the second wall is lost and are forced to retreat behind the tower, they will not be over twelve years old.
After all, the tower is the last refuge of the city-state. Once the towers are captured by monsters, then the City of Hope is basically finished.
So once the situation reaches the most critical stage, let alone those who are above twelve years old, even if they are six years old, as long as they can run, they have to join the battle.
The next night passed in a brutal fight. As time returned to "daytime", the intensity of the monster siege also began to decrease.
Because the second city wall was stronger, it finally supported the next night, but it also became scarred in the previous fierce battle.
At this time, Luokas/Ge Zhao was standing on the high platform, directing the sporadic battles, arranging personnel to repair the city wall, and transfer supplies.
Luokas/Ge Zhao is still intact, that is, his left arm seems to have been bitten by something, and half of his face is bloody.
"According to the observation results from the sentry tower, as long as we can survive today, we will be able to survive this damn monster wave."
Luokas/Ge Zhao on the high platform boosted morale in such a way, but it was indeed effective. Everyone was a little happy to hear that there was only one day left.
It's just that senior officials like Suo Jian knew that the situation was not so optimistic, because the second city wall seemed to be unable to hold up and was not far from being abandoned.
In the temporary room under the high platform, Luokas/Ge Zhao replenished energy while explaining to Suo Jian and other senior officials the precautions for today's battle:
"The task of the second city wall is to support it until night, and then activate the prepared self-destruction array at the moment when the monster wave is at its strongest."
"So before that, we have to make preparations to move people and materials into the tower. If any of you fail to enter the tower in time... I'm sorry."
Everyone present nodded in agreement. Although what Luokas/Ge Zhao said was cruel, he was responsible for the people of Hope City in the apocalypse.
The third day of the day was spent calmly. The wave of monsters that attacked during this period did not put much pressure on the defense of the second city wall.
Even compared to the previous two days, the frequency of attacks during the third day was even lower, but everyone in Hope City knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Ling Mengyu, who was leaning on the city wall and squinting her eyes for a nap, suddenly heard a rapid ringing of copper bells, and she woke up instantly, because this was the ringing that represented the arrival of night.
Ling Mengyu jumped up from the ground and looked at the darkness in the distance where the firelight could not shine. Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder from the sky. This seemed to be the last signal, and the tide of darkness surged forward.
The sound of some kind of greasy body scraping across the ground, the sound of some kind of sharp scales rubbing around, and all kinds of noisy and weird sounds came with an unstoppable momentum.
Although the monsters are dark and chaotic, many of them can understand human speech, so it has been agreed in advance that many communications will be carried out with the help of ringtones.
When Ling Mengyu heard all the bells begin to ring rapidly, she knew that this was a signal to retreat. The second city wall was about to self-destruct like the first wall.
Ling Mengyu quickly prepared to evacuate the city wall with quick hands and eyes. In the process, she still had time to help others. She helped up the nearest injured person who fell to the ground and took him down with him.
"Thank you, thank you!" The wounded man kept bowing and thanking Ling Mengyu. After all, without this help, given the extent of his injuries, it would be difficult to evacuate the city wall in time.
Ling Mengyu randomly picked up the spear that fell on the ground and threw it to the opponent as a crutch: "Hurry up and enter the tower. There is still a lot of road to run."
Because the tower is on the top of a mountain, and one side of the mountain has been artificially flattened, so if you want to go up the mountain to the tower, you can only go through the front road, which is not an easy road.
After Ling Mengyu jumped off the tower, other people also jumped off one after another, but except for some injured, most of them did not escape from the tower immediately.
After all, there is still a lot of distance between here and the tower. During this period, it can also cause certain obstacles to the monsters and delay this terrible night.
After the rapid ringing of the bell stopped, it rang again within a few seconds. This time it was the final reminder. When the bell stopped ringing, it was the moment when the city wall destroyed itself.
When the first monster broke through the city wall and jumped down, the rushing bells suddenly stopped, and then there was a roaring explosion a moment later.
The monsters were buried together with the city wall in the fire, but everyone in Hope City knew that these were just some of the monsters, and the long night was not over yet.
But the death of some monsters has put a certain distance between the monster tide and people. The time brought by this distance is the last time for the guards to escape.
You must know that there is a lot of distance between the city wall and the fence at the foot of the mountain. How can these distances not be manipulated? So it's dangerous when people are there.
The final decisive battle was about to begin, and Ling Mengyu couldn't help but raise her head. She originally subconsciously wanted to look at the moon, but then she remembered that in this era of eternal night, there was no moon in the sky.
But even without the moon, this is a city-state they created through hard work. Ayan Mengyu wants these poor people to survive in this world.
