It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Yang Xiao's hearing was the most sensitive, but he fell asleep with Long Yongjun sleeping next to him.
He drank two bowls of broth tonight, and he was holding back his urine. He wanted to get up to pee, but he was afraid of the cold outside, so he kept holding it in. When he woke up, he couldn't fall asleep.
He didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, another strange cry came from outside:
"Woo——"
This time the cry seemed to be near the cave, and the sound was very real.
Long Yongjun's current level of genetic evolution is pretty good, and his sense of hearing has been greatly improved compared to before.
After hearing this cry, Long Yongjun sat up from the bed with a start.
Because of the cold, everyone slept with their clothes on and covered with quilts.
Long Yongjun pricked his ears and listened carefully.
"Woo——"
There was another cry, which seemed to be closer to the cave dwelling.
Long Yongjun's heart sank.
This time, Long Yongjun was not the only one who heard the cry. At least a dozen of the more than a thousand people sleeping in the cave were awakened.
Yang Xiao was also shocked. When he looked up, he saw Long Yongjun sitting on the bed and listening.
"what's the situation?"
"Shh!"
Long Yongjun made a shushing gesture.
Yang Xiao quickly got up from the bed.
The two entrances and exits of the cave are blocked by iron doors at night. The iron doors are welded with angle iron and crude steel.
At first, Xu Nanqiang and others found several generators in the building materials market, and also found two welding machines to weld the steel frames. Later, they also welded two large iron doors.
In order to block mutated creatures that may come out at night, the lower part of the iron door is covered with iron sheets and welded. The upper part of the iron door only has a thick iron welded iron grille to facilitate the air circulation of the cave dwelling at night.
At this moment, most of the people in the cave had woken up, and those who had not woken up were quietly called to come by the classmates around them.
There are several boxes of candles and a dozen flashlights prepared in the cave dwelling. They are usually used in emergencies at night and are not used at ordinary times.
Yang Xiao told everyone not to light the lights and to listen to what was going on first. Everyone should wake up, get dressed, pick up their weapons, and be ready for battle.
Everyone quietly passed it on one by one, and told everyone to move gently and try not to make any noise.
Yang Xiao got out of bed quietly. At this moment, Huang Wen, Xiao Zhe, and Zhao Gang were all here.
Everyone lowered their voices and talked quietly.
"Yang Xiao, there seems to be the sound of wild beasts outside."
"This cry sounds so familiar, it feels like a wolf."
"Wolf? Why are there wolves here?"
"Wolves are cold-tolerant animals. In the past, wolves could be found in the Tianshan prairie even at minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter."
Yang Xiao thought briefly and said:
"Huang Wen, Zhao Gang, you take some people to guard the entrance of another cave dwelling. We are protected by iron gates. Don't be afraid. As long as they don't take the initiative to attack us, we don't need to provoke them. We will handle everything after dawn."
Yang Xiao asked Xiao Zhe and Long Yong to lead some people to guard the iron gate of the cave dwelling here to prevent monster attacks.
There was a lot of tension in the cave, and most people's hearts were beating fast.
In the last days, humans have become weak.
When Ma Junhui designed the cave entrance, he designed a climbable stair ring embedded in the cave wall.
Yang Xiao walked to the entrance of the cave, ran up the iron ring on the wall, and then looked out through the grated window on the upper part of the iron door.
Yang Xiao only glanced at it and was frightened.
In the vast night, there were at least dozens of pairs of big eyes that glowed green like electric lights. Yang Xiao knew that they were the eyes of mutated animals.
"Damn it, why did so many mutated animals appear overnight?"
Moreover, those mutated animals seemed to be very smart, deliberately avoiding the orange light emitted by the gene store and hiding in the darkness.
Yang Xiao's cave dwelling is still 200 meters away from the gene store and nearly 100 meters away from the edge of the orange light, so it is not protected by the orange light.
"Woo——"
The screams outside kept coming and going, which was very scary.
As the cry rang out, a moment later, more and more big eyes with green light appeared in the darkness.
A pair of green eyes approached the edge of the orange light, about 3 or 4 meters away from the orange light. With the help of the weak orange light, Yang Xiao vaguely saw the outline of an animal more than 2 meters tall. The animal As if afraid of the orange light, the figure flashed and disappeared into the night again.
The shouting outside never stopped, and half an hour later, probably hundreds of pairs of big green eyes appeared in the darkness outside.
These green eyes gradually gathered together, seeming to be negotiating something. After a moment, a huge cry sounded:
"Woo——"
Then, Yang Xiao was surprised to see these big green eyes in black began to move towards the cave dwelling, getting closer and closer.
"Damn it, are you planning to attack us?"
Yang Xiao jumped down from the iron ring on the wall and immediately found Chen Lu.
"Chen Lu, gather all the elemental magicians, especially the electric magicians. How many electric elemental magicians do we have?"
"There are more than twenty."
"Okay, the electric magicians are divided into two groups and stand in front of the iron door of the cave. If the monsters outside attack us, use all the electric magic and just hit the iron door directly. Do you understand?"
"Yeah." Chen Lu nodded.
"Remember, don't use the fireball, ice ball, and wind blade, and don't blow the iron gate down, otherwise, we will die ugly."
Yang Xiao then asked Huang Wen to organize a team of feather arrows, and put a dozen people at each entrance of the cave on both sides. Because the cave dwelling was limited in space, too many bird and beast soul people could not attack.
"If the iron sheet on the iron door at the entrance of the cave is scratched, just fire the arrow as hard as you can."
"Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Dai Yun, Long Yongjun, Fei Fei, you organize a melee beast soul team to stand in the first row of the cave. No matter what, you must guard the cave entrance and not let the mutated creatures from outside rush in."
"Take a dozen flashlights to the back, and the animals outside can rush in, shine the flashlight into their eyes, and point out the target for attack."
After some intense arrangements, everyone prepared for the battle. Yang Xiao climbed up the iron ring at the entrance of the cave again and looked out through the grating above the iron door. He saw a group of green eyes getting closer and closer in the darkness. After a moment, , only about twenty meters away from the cave dwelling, these monsters stopped.
Yang Xiao knew that they were preparing to attack.
Yang Xiao fixed his legs on the iron ring, reached out and took off the bird bow from his back, attached an arrow, and aimed at the green eyes in the darkness through the grated window.
Yang Xiao originally wanted to use one finger to crack the ground, but he was a little worried. If he used this beast soul skill through the iron door now, would he accidentally destroy the iron door?
Without the protection of the iron gate, it would be miserable.
In the darkness in the distance, green eyes formed a long line.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and opened his bow to the full moon.
Woo——
A loud scream sounded outside, and then a roar was heard, and dozens of pairs of green eyes rushed towards the entrance of the cave dwelling frantically.
Yang Xiao let go of his hand, and a feather arrow shot out of the air, piercing the night and heading straight for the green eyes at the front.
