Chapter 849: Chapter 511: Survive

While Li Changhe was tightening his defenses,

all the major Safe Zones had already faced terrible attacks from the Terror Devils.

The unofficial Safe Zones were almost instantly wiped out, with only a few personnel managing to escape.

Even among the official Safe Zones, two were completely breached by the Terror Devils.

Theoretically, the defense of the official Safe Zones was very strong. Unless those high-spec Terror Devils appeared, repelling the attacks for a month or so wasn’t a problem.

There were automatic turrets and various Defensive fortifications outside, as well as artillery attacks from the external military forces and teleportation support from the Dream Cruise.

Inside, there were the players and a large number of Combat Personnel who could take the initiative to strike and kill those Terror Devils that threatened the safety of the zones.

Moreover, with the official means of identification, the Terror Devils could not infiltrate these Safe Zones.

Nevertheless, the crisis still came.

The two breached Safe Zones both suffered internal crises.

In one Safe Zone, the crisis erupted in the infirmary, where a critically wounded soldier had just died amidst the mourning of the medical staff, his body transforming into those horrific thorny vines.

In an instant, the vines pierced through several medical staff members in the operation room, and before they could even react, their bodies were drained into mummified corpses.

More vines then grew from their bodies and spread rapidly.

Within just thirty seconds, all humans in the wounded area were annihilated. Many casualties were killed in their sleep. By the time the soldiers arrived in response to the alarm, thousands of vine-blades were already howling forth.

At the same time, the Terror Devils outside also began their assault on the Safe Zone. Numerous Terror Devils were killed by the Defense equipment, and their bodies, too, turned into vine blades wielding the scythe of death.

Owing to the deployment of the Sky Curtain, support from artillery fire outside and the Dream Cruise was rendered completely ineffective.

With battles breaking out both inside and outside, a Terror Devil successfully breached into the residential area of the Safe Zone, and the moment soldiers shot it dead, a terrifying hell descended.

The vines viciously attacked the people; any human killed would become new vines. In moments, hundreds fell victim.

The players unleashed their full firepower but were unable to prevent the inevitable breach of the Safe Zone.

And at the same time, being attacked... were all the Safe Zones!

This night was destined to be a sleepless one for humanity. The shouts of killing almost echoed through the city, as the howling storm brought distant screams and gunfire.

Countless people were fighting against death, not even daring to leave behind any corpses, whether of the Terror Devils or their own.

For they discovered that the vines would grow from the corpses; only by incinerating the bodies could they stop the growth of the vine blades.

Thus, upon death, bodies had to be immediately burned, otherwise, they would become an even more dangerous disaster.

Just one night, and two Safe Zones were breached, with the defense strength of several others greatly diminished.

By the early morning, the battles in various places had ceased one after another. Or rather... the Terror Devils attacking the Safe Zones were cleared out. Before a new batch of Terror Devils arrived, players and soldiers seized the time to rest.

The entrance to Safe Zone 30 was in complete disarray, a huge black cat over three meters tall spitting out purple lightning, charring corpse after corpse.

Its body bore multiple wounds, the once glossy and smooth fur burned through with numerous holes, lacerations from claws, and weapon injuries. All these were remnants from the earlier defense. Even for a Fantasy Species, it was difficult to ensure its own safety amidst such dense attacks.

"The final battle has begun. All these... corpses must be burned," it spoke in human tongue to the girl beside it, "How is your brother doing?"

Bai Luohe’s face was covered with a veil, her tone low and tinged with a trace of fear, "After taking the All-purpose medicine, his wounds have started to heal with the growth of new muscle and skin, he should be waking up soon."

The battle in Safe Zone 30 was extremely perilous, already affected by the Plague Horror. There were many patients, and in this siege. Although not breached, the number of dead and injured was just too high.

Mr. Bai and Bai Luohe were initially discussing with several players how to manage the patients when the vines and Terror Devils suddenly burst forth.

Mr. Bai was caught by the hands by a Terror Devil that had been set ablaze while he was covering for Bai Luohe to cast her skills.

He fought the enemy in the flames for over ten seconds, and once he had escaped, his entire skin was burnt off.

Bai Luohe could even see his internal organs. In fact, if it weren’t for Bai Luohe continuously maintaining the Auxiliary Skill, Mr. Bai would probably have died in the fire.

Luckily, Li Changhe had retrieved the All-purpose medicine from the "Containment War". It could save Mr. Bai’s life. But there was not much All-purpose medicine left...

"And this is just the beginning," Bai Luohe sighed deeply as she looked at the snowstorm outside.

...

Meanwhile, at Safe Zone 9.

After the last Terror Devil and the vines were eliminated, Chen Yu dropped the sniper cannon, which was close to giving out after continuous fire, now feeling no sensation in her right shoulder.

Last night, in the snowstorm, she had met up with the support team and Yun Ting went back to Li Changhe’s side, while she, carrying Xiao Nan, led the team non-stop to the Safe Zone. Shortly upon arrival, they were attacked by the Terror Devil.

This was one of the largest safe zones inside the disaster fog, and its Defense Power was among the strongest.

But as a large number of vines began to appear inside as well, even the players struggled to maintain the situation.

Therefore, when her energy was nearly depleted, she took the sniper cannon and fired at the Terror Devils.

The battle lasted seven hours, and she fired the cannon for seven hours. The sniper cannon broke down one after another, and her right shoulder was already a bloody mess. She probably even suffered internal damage.

With trembling arms, she poured a bottle of High-Efficiency Healing Liquid down her throat and looked toward the nearest official member.

"What about the internal losses?" Her voice was very hoarse and low. Chen Yu even wondered if this was really her voice. Damn it, her lovely loli voice had turned into Guan Yin’s.

"You are... Chen Yu?" The official player took a while to recognize her, after all, her face was covered in soot, and she was wearing a men’s coat, which really wasn’t easy to identify.

"You changed into a coat; I almost didn’t recognize you."

"The internal casualties are severe. A rat dead in the tracks suddenly burst out a vine, and in less than thirty seconds, it spread to hundreds of people... Thankfully we had the isolation doors. They managed to hold back the rapid spread of the vines. By now, they should have been all cleaned up," the official player replied, "It’s just that the external artillery support and the Dream Cruise have been cut off, the situation is somewhat unfavorable."

"This is more than a bit unfavorable... Anyway, make sure to clean it all up, and burn all the bodies," said Chen Yu as she walked towards the rest room, "Every area, every room must be thoroughly checked. After that, whether we can survive will depend on how much longer we can hold out. Our colleagues outside have already found a way to intervene in the disaster fog, just drag it out a little longer... and we’ll be able to survive."

But everyone knew just how heavy the words ’survive’ weighed.
