Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 534

Chapter 534: 534

The monsters launched another attack in the night.

With the experience from the last time, everyone was more adept at handling it.

"Those things have a layer of black oil on them, just throw the fire bombs at them, but be careful of their claws,"

The experienced ones advised carefully.

"Alright."

The fire bomb was a gadget designed by Nanzhi.

While at the medical hall, Nanzhi accidentally discovered phosphorus. She found out that not only Jihe Hall had phosphorus, but it was also available plentifully in other medical halls.

Phosphorus has a very low ignition point and, if used properly, it is an excellent weapon.

There were dozens of medical halls in the city, large and small.

The phosphorus was placed in ceramic bottles soaked in water, with wax sealing the bottle caps.

The collection of bottles filled a yard.

There were two types of fire balls. One had the alcohol sealed with wax on the inside, coated with plant ash to avoid accidental ignition. The other had a piece of white phosphorus stored inside sealed with wax.

The first type needed to be exposed to a fire source to ignite, while the second type could start a fire just by being thrown hard.

It was not difficult to make fire bombs and they serve as useful weapons against the monsters.

Taking advantage of the monsters’ fear of fire, it might not kill them, but it could serve to scare them off effectively.

The biogas pool was being constructed tirelessly, and now it was in the final stages.

The absence of rubber hoses to transport gas was the main problem now.

The monsters were not discouraged by defeats, they attacked suddenly almost every night.

The soldiers could no longer handle the daytime patrols, which were handed over to the local patrol teams.

As the number of wounded people increased, the major medical halls were overwhelmed, and the number of soldiers able to guard the city at night decreased rapidly.

Nanzhi was due to give birth in half a month, but the men of the Shen and Lin families had not returned home for five consecutive days.

Only a group of women was left.

Chi Sheng led the brothers from Qing Fenghan to defend the city, and the city was filled with the smell of blood.

The food was only enough for five days, and Adai had not returned yet.

Since the last letter from Twelve, they had lost contact with the outside world.

The situation of Eleven and Twelve was unclear, and Shen Miaomiao was absolutely clueless.

If everything went smoothly, Twelve should have brought people over already, but there has been no sign till now. How could she not worry?

The progress of Ming Qin was extremely slow, and the seeds have not germinated yet.

She wished she could spend all day in the hut, watching the seeds germinate.

Shen Zhiyu and other children were also not idle. After being stopped from defending the city three times, they began to hatch their little plans.

Unless those monsters were exterminated completely, they would never be at peace.

Not only adults, but they as children could also contribute to guarding the city!

The kids slipped to the base of the city wall at night and hid in places where manpower was insufficient.

Each child had a slingshot and truly provided some help.

April 9th.

At the crack of dawn, the monsters began their offence.

After numerous probing operations, they probably had a good grasp of the city’s situation. Except for those self-igniting balls, they had no other ways!

If they were careful to avoid the balls thrown by them, those people could not pose any threat.

Similarly, if they managed to get one of them into the city, all the people inside would become their meal!

Recalling the fearful eyes of people when they preyed on the villages last night, the leader of the monsters licked its lips.

The villages outside the city had been eaten up by them.

They also had to speed up their movement.

When the defending soldiers detected something wrong, they had already sprung out of the forest one after another, heading straight for the city gate.

"Attack!"

The bell rang throughout Yan City.

The soldiers resting beneath the city wall all rose and rushed back to the top.

Having not slept all night, their bodies were exceptionally tired.

But the monsters beneath the city wall would not grant them any more rest.

"Attention, prepare the bows and arrows!"

At the command, the archers collectively nocked their arrows, aiming at the monsters about to begin their ascent.

"Loose!"

Arrows rained down, piercing their bodies, yet they did not retreat.

"Prepare the fireballs!"

"Loose!"

The fireballs descended upon them, lighting up the ground momentarily before dying out.

Monsters unable to dodge were set on fire, falling down while screaming agonizingly.

The smell of charred flesh mixed with the foul stench lifted from beneath the city wall, causing nausea.

The monsters came more violently than their previous probing attacks.

Some took the opportunity to ascend and climbed onto the city wall.

Out of concern for the black oil on the monsters, the soldiers collectively stepped back before shooting arrows at them.

All the people from Qing Fenghan were martial artists, so when they saw the monsters climbing up, they drew their weapons and engaged them.

Following the sound of bells, Shen Zhiyu and Xiaomi also rushed towards the city wall.

Upon reaching the wall, they saw that the fifth leader of Qing Fenghan was entwined in a battle with a monster.

Just as he seemed to be at a disadvantage, Xiaomi pulled out a fireball and shot it at the monster using a slingshot.

The monster could not dodge quickly enough, and the moment the fireball came into contact with it, it burst into fierce flames.

Seeing the monster trying to escape, the fifth leader swiftly chopped off its head.

The monster, which had been screaming in agony, fell to the ground, leaving nothing but a burning carcass.

"Xiaomi, how did you all get here!"

The fifth leader heaved a sigh of relief. Only after rapidly cutting off the part of his clothes stained with black oil did he shift his gaze onto the group of little devils.

It wasn’t until he saw Yuanbao and Yueyue behind them that he barely caught his breath.

"Uncle Five, we are here to help!"

Yuanbao spoke hesitantly, afraid that the fifth leader might return home and complain to her mother.

Seeing her nervousness, the fifth leader wanted to step forward, but Shen Zhiyu stopped him.

"Uncle Five, don’t move!"

The fifth leader appeared helpless, "This isn’t a place for you kids! All of you leave now!"

"Look! What is that thing on the ground!"

Shen Zhiyu pointed towards the place where the monster’s head had just fallen, his voice filled with horror.

Everyone followed his pointing finger, only to see a long white and almost transparent strip-shaped thing heading towards the fifth leader.

The fifth leader looked down, and the creature that looked like a worm was already nearly crawling onto his foot.

Watching the creature squiggle towards him relentlessly, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly retreated.

"Quickly kill it!"

Lin Zihan exclaimed.

The thing heard it and trembled all over, then quickly shrank into a ball.

The fifth leader wanted to raise his sword to slash it, but Shen Zhiyu stopped him.

"No... There’s something wrong with this thing!"

The little guy’s eyes widened to the size of saucers, his mind recalling the story Nanzhi once told him.

He quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest and poured the wine inside onto the creature.

Exposed to the liquor, the thing thrashed about as if desperately struggling, and within a few moments, it was completely motionless.

Using a stick, he picked up the limp creature and stored it in the bottle, after which the youngsters abandoned the idea of helping any longer and hurriedly rushed home with the porcelain bottle.
