Chapter 525： Earthworm

“Help! Help! There are so many ferocious beasts, so many ferocious beasts!”

“Help! Help! Someone come and save us!”

“The vicious beast is coming, run! Run!”

“Don’t chase me! Don’t!”

On the streets of Yufeng City, hundreds of people were running forward crazily, glancing back as they ran.

Behind them, one to two hundred meters away, were chased by more than a dozen gray rats. They were on all fours and moved like the wind. Within one to two hundred meters, they caught up with the few people who were alone in the blink of an eye. , knocking the opponent down.

A shrill scream followed, along with the sound of teeth-piercing chewing.

“Hoo, hoo…”

Everyone in the front glanced back. While their scalps were numb, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were ordinary people living in the city. Suddenly they heard the news of the arrival of the beast tide, and quickly followed the others and hid in the nearest shelter.

Because once the ferocious beasts outside the city break through the city wall and enter the city, ordinary people like them will have no way to survive if they stay in the building. They are like cans waiting for the ferocious beasts to open. Therefore, bringing them With sufficient food and water sources, hiding in the underground space may still be a way to survive.

What they never expected was that the underground space was not safe either.

A large number of ferocious beasts suddenly emerged from the ground and started killing them. Sixty to seventy percent of the people hiding in the shelters died, and the remaining people had no choice but to escape from the shelters.

Unexpectedly, a large number of ferocious beasts also appeared on the streets of the city. Some ferocious beasts, after smelling their scent, rushed towards them and slaughtered them.

“Run! Keep running!”

Someone shouted loudly.

At this moment, the road ahead suddenly exploded with a crash, countless gravels flew, and an earthworm-like beast with a body over twenty meters rushed out of the ground with a ferocious aura.

"this!"

Everyone was so frightened that they stopped and raised their heads, all with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

This, what is this?

A ferocious beast?

Such a tall beast can almost reach a ten-story building.

"Roar!"

The earthworm-like ferocious beast suddenly opened its mouthparts with a diameter of four to five meters, revealing a ring of sharp steel teeth. Then it plunged down and swallowed the dozen or so people in front of it.

There was a sound of chewing, and blood flowed from its mouth like a stream.

"This this…"

Someone was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground with a thud. A pool of liquid slowly flowed out from under him.

Most of the people around him were the same. Their brains seemed to have lost the ability to think, and they stood there stupidly.

Only a few people were still awake. Seeing that there was no way forward, they wanted to escape in another direction.

Who knows the next moment, two identical ferocious beasts emerge from the ground and swallow twenty or thirty people on the field into their mouths.

The two earth dragons are smaller than the first one, but they are still as tall as six or seven stories.

They cooperated with the first one and surrounded everyone on the ground in the center, unable to advance or retreat.

“Oops! It’s a three-headed earth dragon!”

A figure came after hearing the news, and when he saw this scene, his face was extremely ugly.

Earth dragons are mutated from earthworms and can move freely underground. Even if they get out of the ground, they are difficult to deal with because their bodies are covered with hard scales.

These three earth dragons are generally about ten meters in length. They are clearly commander-level ferocious beasts, especially the middle one, which is close to twenty meters. Its strength is probably close to that of a beast king-level ferocious beast.

“Damn it, the three leader-level ferocious beasts are not something I can handle alone. I have to call for help quickly.” The man gritted his teeth and left quickly.

 It is true that he is a B-level awakened person, but under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a B-level awakened person to kill one commander-level ferocious beast, let alone three.

However, the commander-level ferocious beasts are extremely threatening. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Soon, more than a dozen awakened people arrived and started fighting with the three earth dragons.

Similar scenes are happening everywhere in the city.

It's just that in some places there was resistance, in other places it was a one-sided massacre.

Hundreds of people fell down every second, blood stained the ground red, and the whole air was filled with the smell of blood.

But at the city wall, it was even more thrilling.

Like a vast sea of ​​ferocious beasts, they came from all directions. There were already many gaps in the forty- to fifty-meter-high city wall. Countless ferocious beasts invaded the city along the gaps. All the buildings on both sides of the street were destroyed. Become a ruin.

Just in front of the herd, tanks blocked the way, and there were a large number of warriors and guards holding machine guns, firing wildly, barely blocking the advance of the ferocious beasts.

On the city wall, artillery fire roared, and cannonballs fell like raindrops on the tide of beasts in front.

Every time a cannonball falls, it can kill and injure dozens of ferocious beasts.

However, facing the boundless tide of beasts, it seems to be of no use at all.

“Lord of the city.”

Someone on the city wall looked troubled, "If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it."

"It wouldn't have been so bad. There are millions of ferocious beasts. We, Yufeng City, may not be able to defend it. But who knew that at this juncture, a large number of ferocious beasts would appear in the city, causing us to have to let everyone in the meeting We need experts to deal with the ferocious beasts in the city, otherwise, the city wall would not have gaps so quickly!"

One person patted the battlement in front of him, his tone unwilling.

Yufeng City is also a medium-sized city. Even if some people have left long ago, there are more than ten B-level awakened people left in the association. Counting the awakened people in the city lord's mansion, there are more than twenty B-level awakened people. , combined with the Gaocheng cannon, it should be possible to block it.

As a result, ferocious beasts appeared in the city, which directly disrupted all plans and forced them to send a large number of strong men to deal with it.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation will only get worse.

As the walls of the city began to have more and more gaps, the city was broken.

"City Lord, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Why don't we leave here as soon as the city has not completely fallen? Otherwise, when the ferocious beasts completely flood in, it will not be so easy for us to leave again. "

“Yes, City Lord, let’s leave quickly.”

“Lord of the city.”

Many people agreed.

If they can defend it, they don't mind taking risks, because some of their relatives and friends are also in the city.

But knowing that we can’t defend it, why do we continue to resist fearlessly?

It is better to go back quickly and leave with your respective families.

The man in front of the crowd did not answer. He looked into the distance.

He could feel that there was a gaze watching him.

If he guessed correctly, it was at least an ordinary beast king-level ferocious beast, which was why he had not taken action.

However, it seems that they don't need the beast king-level ferocious beast to take action before they can no longer withstand it.

His family had been moved to a big city by him a long time ago, and the reason why he came back was that he couldn't bear to leave the city he founded with his own hands. This city has grown from a fortress to a small city, and to today's medium-sized city. , he thought it would eventually become a large city, but...

"I asked you to ask for help from the headquarters, what was the result?" He turned around and asked.

"this…"

Several people behind him looked at each other, and one of them gave a wry smile and said: "City Lord, I was just about to tell you that after receiving our request for help, the headquarters said that they were helpless because the area hit by the beast tide was too big. If there are too many, they won’t be able to save us, so let us take care of ourselves.”

“Damn it!”

Hearing this, some people said angrily: "It's impossible to save him, he obviously doesn't want to save him!"

“That’s right, our Yan Kingdom’s top awakened people are all in those three super large cities. If they randomly send an A-level awakened person over, they can solve this problem for us, right?”

“That’s what I say, but it also depends on whether the person is willing to save him or not.”

The discussion suddenly calmed down.

Yes, the headquarters is very strong, but there are also many medium-sized cities in Yan country. They really can't save them one by one. If they really save, they will only save those who are more important or have some friendship. If it were them, they would do the same. Do it, it’s human nature.

“What about the requests for help from other cities?”

"this…"

Everyone behind him looked at each other again.

"City Lord, we have also contacted several medium-sized cities around us. After hearing this, they all expressed sympathy for our experience. However, when we asked them for help, they all refused and said that they were also unable to protect themselves and there was really nothing they could do. To provide support or something like that, or they will also be attacked by a tide of beasts."

"not even one?"

Yang Ming turned around, holding a trace of luck in his heart.

Don’t look at it now, support has not arrived yet.

Thinking on the bright side, maybe reinforcements are on the way.

"not even one."

The speaker has a bitter look on his face.

"These guys!" After the words fell, someone said angrily: "Two days ago, everyone said that once someone is attacked by the beast tide first, everyone else should support and help each other. But it turns out that we waited until we were in danger. , one by one, talking like farting."

“Isn’t it true? We are unlucky and are the first to be attacked. What if they are the first to be attacked?”

"What a bunch of selfish guys. If our Yufeng City is lost, do they think they will be better off next? These ferocious beasts will appear in front of them next!"

“Isn’t it true? You are short-sighted and like a frog in a well!”

Everyone became more and more angry as they talked, and they wished they could rush over and find those people to hold them accountable.

“Okay, just say a few words.”

The Lord of Yufeng City sighed: "Whether or not to support is their right, not their obligation. What's more, it is reasonable for them to do so."

“The city lord is right, everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn’t care about the frost on other people’s roofs. This is an unchanging truth from ancient times. If we were them, it would probably be the same."

The crowd fell silent.

The rumbling sound of cannons is still continuing.

The ferocious beast was fearless and launched an attack into the city.

The casualties in the city are also increasing.

“City Lord!”

At this moment, several men covered in blood appeared on the city wall, their voices filled with tears.

“City Lord, there are so many ferocious beasts in the city that we can hardly stop them!”

"Yes, City Lord, among the ferocious beasts that appear that burrow into the ground, there are more than twenty at the commander level, and more than a hundred at the elite level, and the number is still growing. We really, really can't deal with it. come."

"Many good brothers have died in the battle, and some were swallowed into the stomachs of those hateful ferocious beasts. The city lord..." After finishing speaking, a man shed tears.

He watched helplessly as his former good brother was swallowed into the mouth by an elite level ferocious beast.

Some were even worse, being trampled to pieces.

They paid more than half the price of casualties to eliminate a group of ferocious beasts, but they soon discovered that this was a drop in the bucket in solving the situation in the city.

But if they continue to fight, the result can only be annihilation of the whole army.

As long as they are human beings, they are all afraid of death, let alone those who are awakened. It is not worth it to die here like this.

The atmosphere became quiet.

Everyone on the city wall looked at each other.

“City Lord, why don’t we retreat?” someone finally whispered.

“Yes, City Lord, if you keep the green hills, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood.”

“Hurry up, city lord, if you don’t leave, it will be too late.”

One urging voice after another sounded.

At this moment, a large section of the east city wall suddenly collapsed. The guards on the city wall had no time to react and fell to the ground along with the falling rocks. Then, they were trampled into **** mud by the ferocious beasts that swarmed past.

“Oh no, the beast rushed in!”

“Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!”

“Hold it! Hold it!”

Sounds of panic rang out.

However, all this happened too fast. In the blink of an eye, thousands of ferocious beasts rushed into the city, and even more followed behind.

“City Lord…”

The person behind him withdrew his gaze and said quickly: "City Lord, make a decision quickly. If you delay, the situation will only get worse."

"Yes, City Lord, if there were not so many ferocious beasts in the city, this city could still be defended, but now, the ferocious beasts in the city cannot be dealt with, and the ferocious beasts outside are even more numerous. There is no way to defend it at all. Keep the law!"

“City Lord, if we continue to fight, more and more people will die, City Lord!”

Hearing this, the Lord of Yufeng City frowned and looked confused.

Of course he also knows that this time Yufeng City will definitely be in danger, but he is not willing to accept it.

The city under his feet was his hard work. No matter what, he did not want to see his hard work go up in flames.

But now everyone has no fighting spirit. If he forces everyone to continue fighting, it may be counterproductive.

“Does it mean that we really have no choice but to give up?”

He turned around and looked towards the city.

There were flames everywhere, and countless figures of ferocious beasts were coming and going, mixed with the cries and screams of ordinary people, it was like a **** on earth.
