Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 323: The fall of Black Iron City
On the elevated sides of the passage were rows of massive snow creatures, their gaze icy and fixed upon them.
There were nearly a hundred of them, including numerous Snow Beast Lords. The captain’s scalp tingled. He tried to control all the fear inside him and shouted, "Run! Snow creatures! So many snow creatures!!!"
The others also noticed the numerous snow creatures, their faces filled with terror as they desperately drove their snowmobiles to escape. However, soon, something happened that left them all in despair.
In front of the gorge, a large number of snow creatures suddenly appeared, blocking their way. They were in a state of panic, attempting to turn back and escape. However, soon, they felt despair once again as a multitude of snow creatures gathered behind them.
It’s over! Completely over! How could there be so many snow creatures? This shouldn’t be happening! Their faces were pale.
They knew they were doomed. It was hopeless, not even divine intervention could save them.
Waldo? Even Waldo couldn’t help now. It was too late.
With a roar, the snow creatures, as if possessed, lunged at the seven-member team. Ten minutes later, everything returned to calm, except for the shattered ground and the traces of blood.
Almost simultaneously, Waldo in Dawn City received news of the reconnaissance team’s demise.
Hearing the news, Waldo was furious, especially when he heard the location of the reconnaissance team’s demise, less than ten kilometers from Dawn City. His face was extremely grim.
It seemed like his predictions were coming true. Perhaps, not long from now, the snow creatures would attack the city. The thing he feared was gradually becoming a reality. Fortunately, he was well-prepared.
"Come on, this is a crisis and an opportunity for me to level up to a hundred!" Waldo thought to himself.
Subsequently, he stepped forward and comforted the somewhat panicked crowd. Afterward, he no longer sent reconnaissance teams out. Instead, he used his shadow clones to go out and conduct reconnaissance.
As time passed, Waldo gradually discovered a large number of snow creatures outside Dawn City.
The number of snow creatures is preliminarily estimated to be no less than three thousand. Moreover, the number is continuously increasing!
Among them, there are nearly a hundred Snow Beast Lords. This is a quite terrifying number. Even if Waldo were to rashly enter among them, it would be suicide; he would perish directly!
This battle might not be easy. It’s just that we don’t know when the snow creatures will act. Moreover, these snow creatures seem to be very cautious, not easily gathering together, seemingly on guard against my pre-clearance.
It seems the snow creatures are even smarter than he imagined. Moreover, the opponent seems to have a common leader, commanding everything. Waldo became more convinced that a super snow creature existed.
"I don’t know how many days passed, but another major event occurred, shaking the world!"
"Shocking news! Black Iron City fell overnight, with thousands of snow creatures flooding into Black Iron City, and tens of thousands of survivors tragically died! Alas!"
The grief was overwhelming! Black Iron City was one of the few cities belonging to us humans, and it was actually breached by snow creatures. It’s truly hard to accept!
Insider information came, indicating that Black Iron City was attacked by snow creatures. A large number of snow creatures gathered outside Black Iron City without warning on the previous night.
While everyone was sleeping, they easily broke through Black Iron City. The various weapons and equipment in Black Iron City had not even been utilized, and everyone tragically perished. It’s such a regrettable incident.
This event serves as a reminder to us all. Here, we urge everyone, no matter when or where, to stay extremely vigilant and never be careless! The brutal facts are right in front of us!
This world is bound to change. I have a premonition that something big is about to happen; signs are in the air!
We don’t need your premonitions; this is something everyone knows. Do we need your predictions? A large number of snow creatures are active outside the cities, and we can only survive within the cities. As for those still in the Noah’s Ark, their chances of survival are probably slim!
In an instant, various pieces of news spread all over.
Waldo also noticed this major news immediately. Black Iron City, he knew, was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the city near where the anchor Skinner was killed before.
"Fortunately, we have combat robots that can patrol twenty-four hours a day, so we don’t need to worry about snow creatures sneaking up on us," Alanna sighed.
This world is really going through a big change. There have been quite a few similar pieces of news lately. For example, some people from a Noah’s Ark didn’t leave their original Ark. When the snow creatures attacked, without the protection of a city, they were directly killed by the snow creatures.
Such news has increased sharply recently. Survivors without the protection of a city are basically in a precarious situation.
"However, we don’t need to worry too much. As long as we stay vigilant, it’s unlikely that the snow creatures will breach the cities. After all, we have various heavy weapons. As long as we withstand the initial onslaught of the snow creatures, they won’t stand a chance later on. We might even annihilate them! I’d like to see how the snow creature tide compares to a zombie tide in terms of threat!"
Sensing that the two women seemed a bit worried, Waldo smiled and reassured them, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control. I can protect you. Rest assured."
"Yeah! We believe in you!" Helen and Alanna nodded vigorously.
At this moment, they felt a warm feeling in their hearts and were very moved.
The beast tide has finally erupted, but not in Dawn City. It’s happening in other cities. In just two days, at least a dozen cities have come under attack by snow creatures.
However, those who were prepared could still handle it relatively calmly. Basically, after paying a certain price, they managed to resist the snow creatures’ attacks without too much difficulty. This is both good and bad news.
It’s good because survivors can effectively defend against the snow creatures relying on the protection of the city walls. It’s bad because the snow creature tide has truly begun.
And this is just the first wave. No one knows how many waves of attacks there will be, and no one knows when the snow creature tide will end!
During these days, Waldo, Alanna, Helen, and others like Calvert, Silva, Wilcher, and Stanley closely monitor the changing situation. Of course, at the same time, they also closely monitor the movements of snow creatures near Dawn City.
They have prepared themselves to resist the onslaught of snow creatures. The over forty thousand people in Dawn City have also been prepared. In recent times, they have been frequently pulled out for training.
Though not comparable to regular military drills, it has given these forty thousand people a semblance of an army. Overall, their combat capabilities have risen significantly.
"Currently, Dawn City is like a fortress, strong in all aspects. No matter how many snow creatures come, it’s not a problem," Waldo said confidently. He was very self-assured.
The conditions of Dawn City speak for themselves. Dawn City is known as the largest, most magnificent city globally, and at the same time, it is the most solidly fortified. Its defense is astonishing.
Coupled with Waldo’s various heavy weapons, unlimited ammunition, and the Infinite Laser Cannon, among other things, it can be said that Waldo’s Dawn City is unrivaled, unmatched.
"If Dawn City can’t withstand the snow creature tide, basically, everyone in the world is in serious trouble," Waldo added. Subsequently, several cities came under attack by the snow creature tide.
Even some cities suffered severe losses. However, in the end, they held their ground. Moreover, due to the heavy casualties, the snow creatures eventually chose to retreat.
Soon, almost all the cities came under attack. Except Dawn City. Waldo’s clone soared into the sky, overlooking the distant Dawn City.
In fact, a long time ago, a large number of snow creatures had been active outside the cities. Recently, the number of snow creatures had been increasing, reaching a terrifying level.
In other cities, the so-called snow creature tide usually consisted of seven to eight hundred snow creatures. At most, there would be one or two thousand.
However, outside Dawn City, the gathered number of snow creatures had surged, reaching at least tens of thousands.
Waldo sneered. "My guess was right after all. Among the snow creatures, a super snow creature has indeed emerged, probably the Snow Creature King! Seems like it’s quite clever, knowing to use its main force to deal with me. But still, you can’t breach my Dawn City. No matter how many snow creatures you have, it’s useless. I have combat robots, well-trained forty thousand soldiers, the Infinite Laser Cannon, and all kinds of infinite ammunition. I’m not afraid of you!"
Waldo chuckled repeatedly. He was very confident in himself. Two days later, when the battle in all the cities reached its most intense moment, the snow creatures outside Dawn City finally began to show signs of movement.
On this night, a deafening roar tore through the sky, shattering the vast expanse of snow and splitting the sky in half.
Waldo, standing in the Lord’s Mansion of Dawn City, saw that behind the massive army of snow creatures, an endless sonic wave surged into the sky, tearing the snow in the several hundred meters of high-altitude sky apart, as if the sky itself had been split in two.
"It’s finally time to act!" Waldo snorted.
Roar! A tremendously loud roar pierced through the heavens and the earth, tearing through the endless snow and ice.
Waldo, looking from the Lord’s Mansion of Dawn City, saw that behind the massive army of snow creatures, an endless sonic wave surged into the sky, tearing the snow in the several hundred meters of high-altitude sky apart, as if the sky itself had been split in two.
"It’s finally time to act!" Waldo snorted.
Thundering!
Thundering!
Countless snow creatures roared and surged, their momentum immense.
An unprecedented torrent surged towards Dawn City! Inside Dawn City, the alarm bells rang loudly!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The snow creatures are coming! Everyone, prepare for battle! Don’t be afraid. As long as we withstand the initial waves of attacks, we’ll be safe!"
Someone shouted hoarsely. In fact, the entire Dawn City had long been prepared for battle. Behind the city walls, there were over ten thousand mortars, howitzers, and tanks ready.
On top of the walls, people aimed rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and newly equipped laser cannons at the oncoming horde of snow creatures!
The snow creatures thundered forward, causing the entire world to tremble. From a distance, almost everyone felt an immense pressure, making their faces turn pale.
"Artillery unit, fire! Blast those bastards!"
When the snow creatures were five to ten kilometers away from Dawn City, Calvert immediately gave the order to the city’s artillery unit.
Instantly, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, including mortars, howitzers, tanks, and even rocket launchers, opened fire. Projectiles filled the sky as they were launched one after another, creating a dense barrage.
