As long as one ignited the fuel on the wall of the beacon tower, the smoke would rise and condense, and even from very far away, it would still be able to be seen. This way, news of the enemy's invasion would quickly spread, and the story of the princes of the beacon game would also come from here.

Most of the smoke fuel was made from the feces of wolves, but most of the places used other fuels, such as reeds, willow branches, and so on. Only the border walls had the feces of wolves, which allowed the smoke to condense in the air and not dissipate.

It was first the sound of the bugle horn for a charge, but now that it was also burning with wolf smoke, Zhu Yingqiong and I looked at each other in confusion.

There was definitely no one underground. Then who was the one who was blowing the horn on the city wall to ignite the smoke?

The first person I thought of was the Fourth Uncle, they did this to warn us or to tell us where they are.

Zhu Yingqiong was thinking the same as me, our equipment was already at the end of the line, if we were unable to reunite with Fourth Uncle, we could only retreat, this would show that we are not willing to do so, but now that the smoke on the wall is burning, we could not help but feel excited, and immediately started walking towards the city gate.

The gate beneath the city wall was made of a pair of iron double doors, and I even saw modern latches. Needless to say, the doors were replaced by the Japanese, who looked like they were decorating the city, changing everything they could use to their advantage. It seemed that their original plan at the time was to stay underground.

The metal door was pushed open. There were messy footprints on the floor, and I saw a bottle of mineral water. I even saw a bunch of sanitary napkins scattered in the corner. This made me a bit speechless.

The only woman in the group was Zhu Yingqiong, how could there be such a thing?

Could it be that there was someone else who brought a sweetheart in?

We looked around but didn't find anything useful. After stepping through the city gate, we saw darkness in front of us. I could see many mountains extending outwards. There should be a large space, but we still haven't reached the end of the tunnel.

There was a moat that circled the walls, but the moat had not been lowered, so we couldn't cross it. With the danger we had experienced in the cave, we didn't dare approach the river, so we had no choice but to turn around and find the stone steps that led up to the wall.

The smoke of the wolves had already filled the entire city wall, and I felt that I was suffocating. With a flash of light from my hand, I felt like I was in a fairyland of clouds. We rushed up the city wall and saw the beacon for the smoke of the wolves, but we did not see anyone.

Someone was indeed burning up the wolf smoke here to blow the horn, but the person who came up immediately disappeared. Anxiously, I shouted at the Fourth Uncle and the monk, but no one replied me. Just as I was about to search around the city walls, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly covered my mouth and shouted in a low voice, "Don't speak, there are people there!"

I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that it was the mouth of a bunker. A small figure was crouching under the wall, but it was too dark for us to see it clearly, it was a little blurry, but it was definitely a human figure.

Monk?

The sea?

Fourth Uncle?

That's not right. If it was them, they would definitely have called out to us. Why would they be half-squatting there without moving?

At this moment, I suddenly saw that at the mouth of the fortress, several figures had appeared. They moved, and began to approach us, and the number of figures increased. In an instant, they filled one end of the entire wall, densely packed like an army.

The first thing I saw was black hair, followed by a head the size of a fish tank, each of which was as high as my waist. When I saw the flash of light, they bared their teeth and bared their jaws, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at us.

Damn, Beastmen!

My pupils widened, and in a moment I panicked, pulling Zhu Yingqiong along as I rushed down the stone stairs, but beneath the stone steps, a dense crowd of Beastmen suddenly appeared, releasing waves of beast roars, and we quickly ran towards the other side of the wall.

But there were too many of them, and they were so fast that in the blink of an eye, they had already charged at us. I shook off one of the beastmen on my shoulder and pulled the bolt on my gun.

Zhu Yingqiong's movements were nimble as she brandished her dagger and flew among the beastmen, injuring a few beastmen in a row, but she was unable to break out of the encirclement.

Kacha!

I fired another shot and sent one of the beastmen beside Zhu Yingqiong flying. It was too late to switch bullets, so I used my hunting rifle as a weapon and threw it at the beastman.

Although I had already known that there were Beastmen underground from Duan Hui's mouth, I didn't think that they would gather on top of the city walls. I suddenly realised that the horn and smoke from the wolf wasn't done by the Fourth Uncle and the rest, but by someone who had done it on purpose, attracting me and Zhu Yingqiong to the city, which was why they were so miserably surrounded and attacked by the Beastmen.

I was standing by Zhu Yingqiong's side, continuously pushing back the beastmen who were charging at me, but there were simply too many beastmen, rushing forward like a tide, causing Zhu Yingqiong's dagger to fly, and my hunting rifle to be snatched away by the beastmen.

Helpless, we could only use our backpacks as weapons and continuously beat up the beastmen. As we backed off, Zhu Yingqiong had a few beastmen hanging on her body and started to become hoarse. She took out a small file from her backpack and stabbed them in the back of the beastmen, one by one, sending them flying.

I don't have as much skill as Zhu Yingqiong, but I'm still young and strong. With my backpack as a brick, I crazily swung it around, causing all the Beastmen around to retreat. They started to surround us, baring their fangs as they stared at us.

"Chen San, you hold on first!"

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly said as she rushed into the beastmen's encirclement. Staring with both feet, she stepped on one of the beastmen's shoulders and then somersaulted in the air steadily. She flipped over and rushed towards the corner of the city wall behind him.

Zhu Yingqiong's goal is to get into the fort's interior, because the fort has already been transformed into a Fort House by the Japanese. There is a metal door at the entrance, and as long as we can rush in and close the door, we can block the beastmen's attacks.

Once Zhu Yingqiong left, the pressure around me suddenly increased, my body had a few bites, blood was flowing out, I did not know if these beastmen were infected or not, so I carried my backpack and crazily hit them, cutting a path of blood, rushing straight to the back of Zhu Yingqiong, only to see her kicking at the door, but the metal door was simply not kicked open.

Zhu Yingqiong was simply unable to push it open. I rushed behind her and used my backpack to knock back a few beastmen, then we smashed into each other together, but to no avail.

At this moment, all of the Beastmen had surrounded us. We were curled up in front of the iron gate, staring at the approaching beastmen in horror. We could never have imagined that after walking so far, we would fall at the hands of these beasts.

Crack!

Suddenly, at this moment, I heard an extremely minute sound. Soon after, a faint yellow light shone from the opening of the Fort House, illuminating the entrance, making the beastmen's sinister face look extremely vivid.

"There's someone inside!"

and I instantly looked at each other, then looked at Fort House in disbelief. I never thought that there would actually be someone inside, this is simply too fucking unexpected.

As if sensing the light, the beastmen released a beast roar and became even more ferocious, charging forward once again. We also found a ray of hope from our despair, standing side by side, unceasingly using the bags in our hands to frantically resist.

But strangely, the Fort House had a light inside, and after a while, there was no sound, as though no one had opened the door.

I used my foot to send the beastmen who ambushed Zhu Yingqiong flying. After that, I slammed the steel door, gritted my teeth and shouted: "Who is inside? Open the door and save them! "

However, there was still no sound from inside, my hope quickly turned into despair. The countless hoarse roars of the beastmen had already caused Zhu Yingqiong and I to be covered with wounds, and we no longer had the energy to fight back.

In the moment of our despair, with a bang, the metal door was smashed open from the inside, followed by a resounding gunshot. A bullet exploded, and the head of the beastman exploded.

Zhu Yingqiong and I suddenly turned our heads, and saw a black faced burly man standing at the entrance of the Fort House Iron Door. He opened up two shots to repel the two beastmen at the front, then glanced at Zhu Yingqiong and I.
