Chapter 4688: All living beings are like ants, but the truth is terrible _1 Chapter 4688: All living beings are like ants, but the truth is terrible _1 In the center of grave city, many people heard the gunfire and could not help but feel terrified.

Although the military had promised to protect the safety of the citizens of tomb city, it did not mean that they would keep their promise.

After seeing the ghouls ‘ferocity, the people were worried that the monsters would break through the defense line.

When night fell, many people were watching with rapt attention.

When they saw the long line of lights being swallowed up, everyone’s hearts sank. They knew that the thing they were most worried about had happened.

The defense line set up by the military did not achieve the desired effect. The ferocious monsters had successfully broken through the defense.

The catastrophe that had happened two days ago was about to repeat itself in tomb city, and no one knew how many people would die.

With curses and cries of despair, the citizens of tomb city closed their doors tightly.

They turned on all the lights, held all kinds of weapons, and silently prayed for their safety.

What happened next was out of their control. They could only pray that their luck was good enough.

all citizens of tomb city, return to your homes immediately.

At this moment, a piercing broadcast was constantly being broadcasted in the sky above tomb city, asking the residents to return home, turn on all the lights, and not run around.

That was the only thing the officials could do so far.

The various defensive measures that were prepared in advance were extremely ineffective against transcendent monsters and could not stop the ghouls ‘assault at all.

The Army that had sworn to protect tomb city had now been completely defeated, and even the rear command had lost contact.

It was impossible to announce such news, or it would only cause greater panic. In a situation where the officials were helpless, the people of grave city could only rely on themselves.

Leave it to fate, and let fate decide whether he lived or died.

The street where Tang Zhen’s shop was located was blocked by two iron grooves, which were cut and welded by oil barrels.

In the iron trough that blocked the street, there were two hemp ropes that were as thick as a child’s arm. They had been completely soaked in fuel.

At the two ends of the rope were two large oil barrels filled with fuel that had been purchased in advance.

When the ropes were ignited, they were like two large oil lamps, and a blazing wall of fire rose into the sky.

The burning flame barrier could effectively block the ghouls.

This method alone could not guarantee absolute safety, but it was undoubtedly much safer than ordinary houses.

Not to mention, there were many burning oil barrels in the middle of the street. The fire and flames gave them enough security.

When the flames on the street rose, many residents nearby gathered, hoping to seek shelter.

Even though he had weapons in his hands, such as a strong flashlight, he clearly lacked a sense of security.

They had a serious lack of confidence in their own defenses. They felt that the streets were safer at this moment.

Tang Zhen did not chase away such a person who asked for help. Similarly, he did not take the opportunity to raise any conditions.

At the same time, there was no guarantee that they could protect the safety of these people.

It didn’t take long for the roars of monsters to come from the streets, and soon the green eyes of ghouls appeared in the shadows.

The two ghouls were very strong.

They peeked in the darkness and roared, obviously unwilling to give up.

The monsters had a certain level of intelligence. They knew that there was a man-made barrier in front of them to prevent them from approaching.

The threat caused by the flame barrier caused the ghouls to temporarily change their target and attack the nearby shops and houses.

Their hard and sharp claws could easily break a wooden door. Even a metal door could not stop them.

It had a huge and flexible body, and it could jump up and down like a cat. It could jump over the wall and climb up to the roof with one jump.

Soon, there were shrill screams coming from the nearby houses. The lights in some houses went out, while flames rose in some houses.

There were also some people who jumped out of the windows in a panic and ran madly on the streets.

The area of grave city was not small, but the number of ghouls that rushed in was not high. Most of the ghouls moved in groups, but they did not appear on every street.

When the ghouls rushed into the street, the Gunners on the roofs were already aiming and killing.

However, the ghouls were agile and had strong defense. Even if the bullets hit their bodies, they couldn’t cause much damage.

On the contrary, they would become more ferocious and violent because of their injuries, charging around like a bull.

Unless it was a high-speed weapon with a strong penetrating power, it would be difficult to cause effective damage to ghouls.

However, the reality was that the ordinary people had very little shooting training and could not accurately hit the target.

Moreover, it was not an easy task to obtain a weapon.

Ordinary people could only get simple weapons from their side. Other than some psychological comfort, they had no effect on ghouls.

Even the military couldn’t get those specialized and powerful weapons in a short time, let alone expect them to fall into the hands of the common people.

The people gathered on the streets were filled with anxiety and fear as they watched the ghouls wreaking havoc in front of them.

However, in the face of such a ferocious monster, there was nothing they could do. If they dared to step forward, they would only be killed.

Many people secretly prayed, hoping that God would help solve the problem.

Tang Zhen quietly stood at the door. He looked at the flames that soared into the sky in the distance and revealed a pensive expression.

A disaster would certainly make people panic and despair, bringing about a scene of devastation. However, just like a wildfire burning a Prairie, it was likely that there would be vitality in the disaster.

At this moment, Tang Zhen could faintly sense an abnormality. The density of the natural energy seemed to have increased by a thread.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would definitely not be able to sense such a subtle change, but it would definitely not be able to hide from Tang Zhen.

Although it was only a slight improvement, it could have an immediate effect, allowing ordinary people with qualifications to become transcendents.

Tang Zhen wasn’t sure if there were similar changes in other places, but this was indeed the case in tomb city.

This also made him astonished. Did he need to sacrifice human lives to increase the heaven and earth energy?

If that was the case, it was a little ridiculous.

Lou Cheng’s knowledge mentioned that the increase and decrease of heaven and earth energy was related to rules and had nothing to do with ordinary living beings.

Unless the rules of this world were controlled by an invisible force. When living beings were in great danger, some kind of protection mechanism would be triggered.

For example, cultivators with extraordinary powers could appear among ordinary living beings, who could resist and resolve disasters.

After the catastrophe passed, it would gradually enter the Dharma ending age, causing the cultivators to gradually disappear from the world.

To make a simple analogy, the catastrophe was illness and pain, and the cultivators were medicine and the immune system, always appearing when needed.

The more Tang Zhen thought about it, the more he felt that this might really be the case. The disaster in tomb city was not a natural disaster, but was deliberately caused by someone.

The real murderer behind the scenes was the game system that had exchanged blows with Tang Zhen across space.

The players might be a dose of medicine. Their original purpose was to cure and save people, but because of Tang Zhen’s intervention, the expected “treatment” effect was not achieved.

The system took a step back and began to train the natives to become cultivators. Compared to the f * cking players, the natives were obviously easier to control.

If he wanted to awaken the natives, he would have to increase the density of the world Energy. This was a step that he could not bypass.

When a destructive disaster broke out, it caused great suffering. The protection mechanism was activated, and the concentration of spiritual energy also increased.

The sudden outbreak of the disaster gave the system the best opportunity to take action. If something went wrong, it could blame it on the underworld.

No one would have thought that it was the one behind all this.

Tang Zhen sighed in his heart. If this was the truth, the natives could only admit that they were unlucky.

Was it all for the sake of collecting soul crystals?

If that was the case, what was the system’s ultimate goal?

When he found an answer, it was often accompanied by the appearance of even more questions. This kind of feeling caused Tang Zhen to feel extremely displeased.

He decided not to think about it for the time being and let nature take its course, so as not to affect his gaming experience.
