Chapter 226: A Master Who Appeared From Nowhere
Before the city gates closed, Ryan left the Mechanical City and came to the civilian shantytown on the ground.
Many wasteland hunters and city residents have already climbed onto the city walls. The zombie tide is both a crisis and an opportunity for them.
Originally, wasteland hunters were in the business of making money at the risk of their lives, but for everyone encountering such a large-scale tide of zombies, as long as they can survive, there are treasures and opportunities everywhere, and no one backs down.
The battle to defend the city was in full swing.
…
Ryan had no intention of contributing his defense to the enemy's city.
He walked around the city and found nowhere to go, so he somehow thought of Guy and his daughter.
One is the former "No. 1 Swordsman in Sid" who has difficulty walking, and the other is a skinny little girl who is not even extraordinary. No matter how you look at it, they both belong to the vulnerable group.
When Ryan thought of this, he walked towards the shed unconsciously.
Moreover, he also wanted to confirm whether this tide of corpses was really caused by Naretta's "Curse Clan" bloodline.
When he walked over, he saw from a distance the father and daughter sitting in the shed, with sad looks on their faces.
Seeing Ryan, Guy stood up tremblingly, with a look of relief.
Ryan greeted them: "Mr. Guy, are you okay?"
“We’re fine.”
Guy responded to Ryan and said, "Doctor, please stay with us tonight. Even if the beast tide breaks through the city, it is relatively safe here..."
Hearing this, Ryan was also stunned. He immediately forgot the question he wanted to ask just now and asked, "Mr. Guy, can you still fight?"
Judging from his tone, he was confident that he could survive even if the city was breached? Was he confident that he could defeat those zombies?
However, it was obvious that Ryan was overthinking. Guy shook his head and said, "No...it's Naretta. Those zombies won't hurt her. We will be relatively safe with her."
When Ryan heard this, he was surprised. The blood of the Curse Clan had this function? It could attract zombies but not be harmed by them?
He asked the question he wanted to ask at first, "Did Naretta really lead this tide of corpses?"
"I'm afraid so."
Guy sighed, looking worried, and said, "The power of the blood curse is stronger than ever before. I'm afraid the city will be captured tonight, and many people will die..."
His words were full of guilt, yet also very contradictory.
Logically speaking, the "culprit" is Naretta.
But the "accomplices" were Ryan and himself. Without Ryan curing Naretta's injuries, there would not have been such a serious backlash of the blood curse.
But... saving people out of kindness cannot be considered wrong. This is very contradictory.
Ryan looked at Guy's struggling expression and guessed that this guy had a psychological trauma from the massacre in his youth, which caused him to become such a pessimistic person.
Ryan knew that there were top masters hiding in the city, so he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the city will definitely not be breached tonight. I just saw a top-level extraordinary person take action. It will be difficult for the zombie tide to breach the city wall."
After all, the fish had not yet taken the bait, so the net could not be broken. The auction gave two months, just to wait for people like Bazel to arrive from all over the world to take the bait.
“Black Wind Territory” is about to be breached at this time, what should we do next?
Hearing this, Guy was obviously confused and asked in confusion: "Isn't there only one fifth-stage early red-robed wizard in the city?"
Ryan didn't explain the complicated conspiracy to him. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I saw several dark red robes and top-level professionals taking action. I don't know where they came from..."
As if to prove that what he said was correct, before he finished speaking, a large golden magic halo appeared in the sky outside the city.
That is the five-ring ultimate spell [Golden Wheel of Doom].
Moreover, it was obvious that there was more than one fifth-level transcendent who took action.
Guy's nervous expression relaxed when he saw the violent fluctuations of magic, but he was also very surprised. He murmured to himself: "How come there are so many masters in the city..."
Ryan didn't say anything. The [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo you are looking for is probably hiding in that corner of the city at this moment.
But I thought there was no point in saying it. He was hiding to ambush someone, so how could he be found if he didn't come out on his own initiative?
Ryan had no intention of going to the city wall to help, so he naturally stayed in the shed.
It is estimated that at this moment, the three of them are the three most idle people in the city. They are not thinking about making money by hunting, nor are they worried about the city being broken.
The little girl Naretta was like a child who had done something wrong, always hiding in the corner with a timid look on her face.
…
The fighting outside the city was already fierce.
The zombie skeletons kept rushing towards the city wall, but were smashed into pieces by the wasteland hunters on the wall with their muskets. Then they piled up higher and higher, gradually forming a small mountain of corpses beside the city wall. The zombies behind them kept rushing up...
Zombies are not afraid of pain, life or death, and even if they are not broken into pieces, they can continue to attack the city with half of their body intact. They are more terrifying than a tide of beasts.
However, there were many people on the city wall, and the zombies that could reach the city wall were not of very high rank, mostly skeletons, which was no different from giving away magic crystals for free. Although there were casualties, they were not serious.
The real big guys were concentrated in several mechanical cities, and the fighting was very fierce.
Ryan was also glad that he did not continue to stay in the Mechanical City.
It's like when you go to attack an ant nest. Would you choose the nest that keeps shooting at you first, or would you step on and kill the ants that are scattered all over the ground like loose sand?
The higher the level of the zombies, the more instincts they retained from their previous lives. The mechanical cities had the strongest firepower, and the three behemoths naturally kept attacking the mechanical city.
The horned monster was a rare "wet corpse", its body was well preserved, and because it had been buried underground for who knows how many years, it had developed a body of steel and iron that could not be penetrated by artillery. It attacked with brute force and rushed towards the mechanical city like a bell.
There were loud bangs.
Even from a distance, Ryan could hear the aftermath of the "buzzing" sound waves, which caused the sheds collapse in large numbers. It was estimated that the souls of those guys staying inside the mechanical city would be shaken out of their bodies by the collision.
Then there was the blood-colored monster with a giant sword in hand. It didn't need any sword energy rules to swing the sword. It just used force to chop it down, creating a string of flames, and it could easily cut a huge gap in the thick steel plate. The armor of the "War Elephant Class" main city was thick, so it couldn't do anything. But the small "Ghoul Class" mechanical city was almost cut open with one chop.
The giant Buddha was a magic damage, he raised his hand and a blue rain of fire filled the sky, strings of phosphorus fire bang bang bang fell on the city wall, it lasted for a long time, and burned more fiercely when it came into contact with water...
Fortunately, these ancient zombies were restricted to the fifth level of extraordinary power, otherwise the “Black Wind Territory” would probably be breached in an instant.
Perhaps they didn't want the city to be too badly damaged, and then some high-level transcendents appeared from nowhere and engaged in a fierce battle with the three behemoths...
…
The battle lasted for several hours.
The crisis of the city being breached was not completely resolved until the three giant monsters were killed and all the large zombies that posed a threat to the city walls were slain.
An "S-level zombie tide" that was enough to destroy the city was averted by the top-level extraordinary people who appeared out of nowhere.
However, the process is not important.
As a result, they all survived.
Since the city was not breached, the tide of zombies turned into a carnival feast for the civilian scavengers.
Before the zombie tide was completely wiped out, the brave hunters on the city wall had already jumped down and dug out the "magic crystals" from the pile of zombies, as well as the ancient treasures brought out by these zombies.
Then more and more people poured out, and corpses were everywhere, just like gold coins were everywhere.
The civilian wasteland hunters became rich overnight, but the Rosas family, as the lords of the "Black Wind Territory", should cry.
The damage caused by this zombie tide was very heavy, and several mechanical cities were damaged to a certain extent. One of the "ghoul-level" wasteland hunting mechanical cities was even more severely damaged, and it would be almost scrapped if it was not repaired.
The cost of overhauling the Machinery City could easily be tens of billions, or even higher.
This kind of loss will definitely be greater than the gain unless most of the income from this zombie tide is confiscated.
But what had happened was irreversible, and those in the Rosas family began to wonder why this level of operation had happened.
This zombie tide occurred very suddenly and on an incredibly large scale.
Everyone guessed it, there must be a reason.
Then, after an investigation, the truth was immediately revealed.
After all, it is common knowledge in the "Black Wind Territory" that Naretta's blood can attract zombies.
Everyone guessed that this was directly related to the fall she suffered in the gambling den of the tavern last night.
