Chu Jungui looked around. All the lights were faintly fluctuating, and the distance illuminated by the lampposts was slowly shortening. Strong fear began to spread from Kaitian, and even its thinking speed slowed down.
"You keep an eye on this place first." After Chu Jungui ordered, he jumped off the city wall, took out a few reinforcement boards from the warehouse, and sealed the room where Lin Xi and Hathaway were sleeping. When he was about to seal the room next to him, Lin Ya opened the door and walked out. She uses far less blood than Lin Xi and Hathaway, and recovers much faster.
Seeing her, Chu Jungui handed her an electromagnetic rifle and said, "Go up the wall to defend."
"Defense for what..." Lin Ya didn't finish her sentence, she suddenly shivered, and an indescribable feeling of fear fell from the sky, instantly making her whole body stiff.
All the explorers were instantly transformed into sculptures, and the overwhelming fear caused them to lose control of their bodies.
Chu Jungui pulled out a special long arrow and shot it out. As soon as the long arrow left the string, the tip of the arrow burst out with a dazzling blue light, cutting through the darkness in one fell swoop and shooting thousands of meters away.
The shining light stimulated the explorers' eyes, causing them to wake up one after another. Chu Jungui slapped Lin Ya again, lifting her frightened state.
Chu Jungui carried Lin Ya, jumped onto the camp wall, placed her in the most heavily defended position, and then looked around.
The door of the camp is still open, and two unmanned engineering vehicles are carrying boxes of ammunition and crossbows outside the camp. Most of the explorers got into position and stared nervously north, while a few explorers were responsible for carrying and distributing ammunition. The explorers have extremely rich combat experience. Their positions are all set in darkness, and some are even under strong light sources.
The tremors of the earth are becoming more and more obvious. It is not like a wave of beasts coming, but like waves of minor earthquakes. No one knows when the truly overwhelming wave will come.
There was a small sound in the darkness, which explorers had long been very familiar with. It was the sound of a large number of ape monsters running at high speed.
They immediately cheered up, and the explorers from the rear moved into the position after carrying the last batch of ammunition.
Under the dark red sky, countless shadows began to appear. Without Chu Jungui's order, many explorers had already opened fire. Although crossbows are more difficult to use than guns, explorers are all elites, and there are many strong ones who can accurately shoot targets nearly a thousand meters away.
There are so many apes and monsters appearing this time that there is no need for any accuracy at all. Just shoot, and you can always hit something.
In front of the overwhelming sea of ape monsters, the explorer's firepower is really not enough. No matter how fast the rate of fire of bows and crossbows is, Chu Jungui's flaw is that he has no area-of-effect weapons. In this case, only large-caliber heavy artillery can solve it.
The weapons on the camp wall also began to fire at this time. As 8 electromagnetic rifles began to fire, the casualties of the ape monster began to rise sharply. Once the electromagnetic bomb passes by, it can create a blank space of more than ten meters long in the sea of ape monsters, which can barely achieve a range of damage effect.
Thousands of apes and monsters swarmed in, crossing the open area in front of the camp in the blink of an eye. However, the explorers who had experienced the ape monster siege had long ago figured out a way to seal off all the fortifications, leaving only shooting holes facing in all directions. Although the ape monsters rushed into the position, they were helpless against the fortifications reinforced with steel plates and composite materials. They could not scratch or cut through the fortifications, just like the infantry in the Middle Ages were unable to fight against the reinforced concrete bunkers. The explorers can continue to kill ape monsters in the fortifications.
At this time, all the explorers were still calm and tried their best to output firepower. There is sufficient ammunition in the fortifications, and there are at least thousands of arrows in each fortification. There are underground passages connecting the fortifications, so there is no need to worry about there being no way out. The defensive position also had strong fire support from the camp walls.
A large number of ape monsters flooded the position and surrounded the camp. They climbed up along the camp wall and reached the camp wall. The top area of the camp wall is only so large. Lin Ya, holding the electromagnetic rifle, can clear a section with one shot. Then she will grab the spare rifle next to her and shoot alternately.
Chu Jungui was much more casual, using whatever he had. Electromagnetic rifles, light bows, heavy bows, and even steel bars and iron rods were all his weapons, stably and efficiently killing every ape monster within his range.
A total of 10 electromagnetic rifles and 6 rapid-fire machine crossbows were firing at the same time on the camp wall, but even this was far from enough to suppress the ape monster. A large number of ape monsters climbed over the city wall and entered the camp. However, the camp's external defenses were strong, and its internal defenses were equally strong. Originally, the doors of each room were considered weak points, but even if they were weak, they were made of 3 cm alloy plates. Chu Jungui added two additional layers of armor plates. Even if the ape monster gnaws until the end of time, it will never be able to gnaw through these three layers of defense.
Chu Jungui was not in a hurry, killing at a constant speed, but a dark cloud filled his heart. There are so many ape monsters that within the range that Chu Jungui's eyesight can distinguish, the number of ape monsters is close to 100,000, and they are still rising!
I don’t know how many ape monsters there are in the darkness in the distance.
But Chu Jungui's intuition was that the ape monster was not a real threat.
At this time, the battle has become intense. Even after Lin Ya has strengthened her body twice, she still feels that her arms are gradually losing consciousness, and the electromagnetic rifle is getting heavier and heavier. She was sweating profusely, biting her lip to draw blood, and mechanically repeated the movements of raising the gun, shooting, and putting it down. She wanted to give up a long time ago, but she didn't dare. There were too many apes and monsters, and the city wall would almost be full the next moment it was cleared. Although Lin Ya knew that death in real dreams was not real death, she would never accept the death of being dismembered and eaten.
In despair, Lin Ya couldn't help shouting: "Why don't you get some cannons?!"
The sound of despair was so penetrating that it resounded throughout the camp.
This is also the sentiment of many explorers. Chu Jungui has even built an electromagnetic rifle. How many heavy cannons should he build? Or is it just for fun? As long as there are three or five heavy mortars in the camp, the defensive pressure will not be so great. Moreover, with the existing production capacity, it is very easy to build dozens of heavy artillery, and there are so many various mines, explosive barrels, etc. that they can cover the entire frontal defense line.
However, no matter what the explorers suggested, Chu Jungui did not make any gunpowder weapons and still mainly used bows and crossbows. Even if an electromagnetic assist system is installed on the bow, it still needs to be driven by manpower. Not only is the rate of fire limited, but it will also become unbearable for people over time. Both the firepower density and sustainability are not as good as chemical energy weapons. The only advantage is that the single shot is powerful.
But in front of the apes and monsters all over the mountains and plains, what's the use of a single shot no matter how powerful it is?
An explorer's eyes were red and his hands were shaking. Even with electromagnetic assistance, he couldn't draw the bow enough. Seeing that the ape monster had blocked all the shooting holes, he let out a strange cry and took out a few grenades. This was something he kept secretly before he defected to Chu Jungui, and he has kept it until now.
When the companion saw the grenade, he perked up and shot an arrow, shooting away the ape monster blocking the shooting hole. The explorer immediately threw a grenade, and the violent explosion directly blew away all the ape monsters around the fortress.
The explorer cheered up and threw out the second and third grenades, and all the ape monsters that had just surged up were blown away. Three grenades were used, and at least fifty or sixty ape monsters were killed.
The explorer gritted his teeth and threw out the last grenade. The grenade rolled on the ground, rolled, but did not explode.
At this time, an indescribable feeling passed through his heart. It was not palpitations, fear, anger or anything else, it was just that the world had changed.
