Chapter 817: 365 Chapters Castle Defense Battle_3

System alert: The scout discovered multiple Blood Hearts at the edge of the forest; destroying them will lower the zombie spawn rate.

Maya: "Lin Wu, refuel, and let’s fight our way out."

Once Maya started combat, all she thought about was how to fight, not whether they should give up. Lin Wu, too, became addicted; after refueling, they left the city gate together and successfully destroyed a Blood Heart, then safely returned to the city only to find many zombies had entered during the open gate and wreaked havoc. Lin Meng, responsible for defense, was chasing them all over. Several walls of corpses had already piled up less than two meters from the city wall.

After an hour, Lin Wu and Maya were promoted to lieutenant colonels. As they had chosen different weapons, the weapons they received post-promotion were significantly different. Lin Wu received a mortar, while Maya’s weapon was a Gatling cart, which had a Gatling gun in the middle and ammo boxes on either side providing endless ammunition, essentially quadrupling the firing rate. The only drawback was that it couldn’t be used on the city walls.

Since the city walls were curved, Lin Wu’s mortar didn’t suffer much disadvantage. He took a backpack full of ammo to the far left of the wall, quickly aimed with assistance, and then stuffed shells into the barrel. The first shell landed in the zombie tide five meters from the city gate, instantly clearing that area. Lin Wu fired two more rounds at the same spot, then shifted the target to the corpse walls, destroying a wall with each shot.

"Titan."

Accompanied by Lin Meng’s warning, more than thirty Titans emerged from the mist, striding towards the wall; one of them grabbed a zombie and hurled it over the wall.

Maya: "Lin Meng, snipe the zombies inside the city."

At this time, the mortar seemed slightly ineffective because the shells needed time to travel, and the Titans kept moving. Lin Wu’s continuous shelling only wounded and knocked down the Titans. In contrast, the Gatling cart was different; with the reins attached to her body, Maya opened the city gate, and both zombies and Titans surged toward it. A barrage of bullets followed, shredding the majority of the zombies into pieces. However, due to the impact, a few zombies still entered the castle and chased the NPCs fleeing everywhere. Once the NPCs’ death exceeded 70%, the mission would be declared a failure.

Lin Meng became the city’s firefighter, running everywhere, doing her utmost not to exhaust herself while desperately saving NPCs.

During the slaughter, Maya reminded Lin Wu, "Some mortar shells can be used as grenades."

Following Maya’s method, Lin Wu picked up a shell, smashed its base against a stone on the wall, and then threw it down below the wall; true to her word, an explosion soon followed.

An hour and a half later, the front defenses broke through, and the trio retreated to the inner city. The inner city’s walls were lower, but the defensive line was reduced by half. Given the smaller city gate, Maya could defend it with the Gatling cart. However, the experience required for promotion was so high that it was nearly impossible to reach lieutenant colonel within two hours.

Ultimately, after two hours of intense fighting, they barely completed the mission. The NPCs began to evacuate, and the three warriors ran away without looking back.

Summary one: The assault missions are becoming increasingly difficult.

Summary two: Any assault mission that does not allow carrying supplies into the instance is a bad mission.

Summary three: Assault missions can take a break for now.

The two hours of fierce battle drained Double Forest’s energy; after exiting the instance, they went directly to the bonfire room, lay on their bedding, and didn’t want to move at all.

The additional gains were substantial, though they were just standard bullets and guns.

After sixteen assault missions in a month, the Shadow grenades had accumulated to 1,200, 5.56 bullets to 400, and .50 bullets to 80. The reason for the plentiful grenades was that all 7.62 and shotgun bullets had been exchanged for grenades at the auction. Anyway, Shadow’s armament strength had returned to a certain level.

Ten minutes later.

"Lin Meng!" Lin Wu called.

"I’m here," Lin Meng replied lazily, just wanting to hug a pillow and sleep.

"Go walk the horse." In the sniper mission, Lin Meng had unlocked the Laimeng camera, which now allowed her to bluff her way through the city; therefore, walking the horse had become one of Lin Meng’s tasks. Unfortunately, Phantom didn’t fall for this trick, so Lin Meng could only walk Sandstorm. The outside was dangerous, but for Lin Meng, who was unafraid of death, danger was an unknown concept.

Lin Meng really enjoyed walking the horse, but today she really didn’t feel like moving and didn’t want to defy the tyrant, so she could only humbly say, "Can I rest for an hour?"

"It seems you are indeed very tired, rest then." Lin Wu got up and strolled away; today was the day for ice fishing.
