Chapter 797: Chapter 461: The Sound of the Bell

Looking at the rising Black Great Wall, the players couldn’t help but be amazed.

They had naturally heard of the prestigious Black Great Wall. It was said that the peak of the Black Great Wall would be the strongest defense system in the world.

Now, eight official players had consumed a large amount of materials and created a Black Great Wall.

Although it might not be perfect, it was sufficient as a temporary shelter.

In the Great Tang mission, some official players had worked together to create the Black Great Wall and trap God’s Chosen. Its defense force was commendable.

Li Changhe tapped on the black bricks: "This is my first... second time seeing the Black Great Wall. How long will it last?"

The first time Li Changhe saw the Black Great Wall was during the Great Tang mission when he briefly caught a glimpse of a Great Wall Demigod after using the Divine Gifted Grass.

That demigod stood tall on the Black Great Wall, which seemed to have no end in sight. Countless Abnormality shadows wandered beneath the city wall. He remained immovable as a mountain, sitting on the wall, suppressing the demons with his own power.

"At this scale, without anyone maintaining it, it can last for three days," an official player smiled and said. "But if at least three players maintain it, it won’t dissipate until their energy is completely depleted."

"So, it means that we will need three people to maintain it and not participate in the battle?"

"If we take turns, maybe six players can’t fight at all," Chen Yu said. "After all, maintaining the Black Great Wall is the highest priority of the defense line. Six players would be the bare minimum."

"Six players... It seems that it’s not easy for the Safe Zones in different places to use the Black Great Wall," one player said. Some Safe Zones didn’t have many players, so it might be difficult to maintain such a defense system.

"No, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet. When it’s really the last moment, the Black Great Wall will be our only hope for a turnaround," Xiao Nan said. "After all, we have the Dream Cruise, and our colleagues from the outside world can help us share a considerable part of the consumption. Compared to the consumption of maintaining the Great Wall, the consumption of activating it is even more headache-inducing."

"Only you officials can afford such a defensive fortification," a player sighed.

The eight official players from before had already depleted most of their energy.

Not to mention they also consumed quite a lot of extraordinary materials. If the players stuck in the disaster fog were to bear it themselves, that would be the biggest problem.

Only the officials could provide these top-notch materials and experts. Just the eight-player version of the Black Great Wall this time had consumed a considerable amount.

It’s hard to imagine how many materials would be required for a Black Great Wall that spans thousands of miles.

No wonder that in the Great Tang, that God’s Chosen couldn’t break through the defense of the Great Wall even if it meant his own death; these materials were probably enough to crush that God’s Chosen.

The information Yun Ting provided was actually quite simple.

It seemed that the Terror Devils were preparing for a final showdown with the humans.

At that time, humans would abandon all Safe Zones and gather together to form a larger Black Great Wall.

It wasn’t known how the Terror Devils would counter-attack or how he... would react?

After regaining composure, Li Changhe nodded and smiled, "Having six players to maintain it... the price is acceptable. By the way, I don’t have to join the maintenance team, do I?"

"Of course not, General Li Ba. Leave that to us," an official player laughed, his round face beaming.

As the players and combat personnel began to settle in the Black Great Wall, external wire fences and automated turrets were set up to defend against the Terror Devils.

The Black Great Wall stood about 18 meters high, with numerous wall holes in its structure where the soldiers could shoot enemies without restraint.

There wasn’t much to worry about regarding the ground battlefield; as long as the Terror Devils didn’t possess special abilities, they would be eliminated before even getting close to the city wall.

The main focus of defense would still have to be on the sky and underground.

In fact, there was Mysterious System defense above and below the Black Great Wall. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to trap a God’s Chosen.

However, if it were to be continuously attacked, the energy of those maintaining it would be rapidly depleted, and that should be watched out for.

Although safety was quite assured, the maintainers seemed tired.

As for resting arrangements... there were many houses inside the city wall, but most of them were in ruins. After all, many houses had collapsed during the Abyssal Worm’s appearance.

The players weren’t picky and plundered the furniture from temporary Safe Zones to set up their sleeping arrangements.

Some players who were skilled in civil engineering even managed to connect the water pipes while clearing the debris.

After a few hours, they managed to set up fully equipped rest areas within the Black Great Wall.

"Damn, civil engineering is forever the Eternal God," the players lamented.

"I used to think so too, but then I quit," a player said sorrowfully. "How come I didn’t have any foresight back then?"

The players chuckled and offered words of comfort.

"Foresight?" Li Changhe felt that he was quite foresighted.

"How?" Yun Ting asked curiously, not sensing any prophetic abilities in Li Changhe.

"When I was eight, I already knew who my future wife would be. That’s foresight, right?" Li Changhe replied.

"Tsk..." Yun Ting clicked her tongue.

Since the defensive fortress had been set up, it was time to hurry up and slice the Terror Devil’s flesh.

The sight of over a hundred people carving up the mountain of flesh was astounding.

As chunks of flesh were cut off, they were sent to the various Safe Zones by the official players.

The Abyssal Worm was so huge that it would be enough for human consumption for quite some time.

Meanwhile, the people began to train. At this point, no one could look out for their own interests alone.

When it came to the last moment, they would have to pick up weapons and fight as well.

If some people objected at this point, Li Changhe would probably push them outside.

Old Zhao, who had just finished cutting meat, was resting nearby. He whispered, "This Safe Zone was controlled by a group of thugs with firearms before you arrived. They even shot at us when we first arrived."

Li Changhe wasn’t too surprised; many people developed wild ambitions they wouldn’t dare think of once they obtained the power.

Especially under such environmental pressure, they would commit unimaginable evil deeds.

Official presence was a good thing; it helped maintain a certain degree of order. Without officials, things would become unstable.

For example, there was the Australian player, the Mad Kangaroo, who travelled on the Dream Cruise.

He relied on his grasp of Abnormality traits and intelligence to act domineeringly, almost like an emperor.

At the same time, several kilometers away, a knight riding a white horse emerged from the fog.

As he appeared, a sense of foreboding began to spread.

Three forces detected this immediately and reacted.

First, there were the humans, who received an urgent message and instantly changed their targets.

In a room, Mercury Angel spread her wings and reached out her palm.

And before her, Xu Zhi bowed in submission.

At the same time, in a dark corner of an underground basement, a pair of blue eyes, one after another, opened.

"It has finally appeared—the second Plague Horror!"

The clock of chaos began to tick silently.
