The arrogant Li Jiayu would not be so cute

"The third-level peak has only one blow... This is not the same as the third-level high-level situation. It consumes so much insect crystal energy?"

Xie Wenyuan didn't pretend to be calm any more. He smiled wryly and said, "It's really helpless. After all, it's something that has just been developed. When dealing with relatively high-level energy, our experience is still somewhat insufficient, and the energy efficiency is much lower. But as long as we have enough time, we can continue to develop more complete second-generation and third-generation magic cannons..."

Chapter 31

Maelstrom Portal

The energy efficiency is low, and there is no way around it. After all, Yongcheng has a small family and a small business. Compared with other big cities, it lacks a large number of scientific research talents and inheritors. It is already very good to be able to develop to this stage.

According to Li Jiayu's knowledge, the magic cannon was developed in Yongcheng in the previous life half a year after the outbreak of the apocalypse, but now with Xie Wenyuan, it is a full two months earlier!

Xie Wenyuan added:

"The magic cannon will be installed on the city wall in two days. By the way, Jiayu, I have recently developed many new types of talismans, such as the wind speed talisman, the god's talisman, and the divine power talisman, which are suitable for inheritors below the third level. Very helpful, do you want to choose several talismans?"

"No need, these talismans are of little help to me, almost useless, but Chu Xiang and Jelly can use your talismans..."

After inspecting the weapons division, good news came from the biological division. They successfully reversed the growth principle of magic sweet potatoes, followed the cats and tigers, and finally developed magic rice using the same method!

Although sweet potatoes are high-yield, they are also full of aroma when eaten occasionally, but they can't resist eating them every day, eating them all at once, steamed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes... all kinds of methods can't cover up the greasy taste in people's stomachs , this is not a picky eater, but anyone who eats it all the way, the body will spontaneously resist.

There is no way, there is only starch in the stomach, there is no oil and water, many people feel that the intestines are scratched, so the emergence of new high-yield rice can be regarded as a rescue, which can alleviate the situation a little.

Moreover, this is a breakthrough from zero to one. With new magic rice, do you still worry about not having new magic wheat, magic vegetables, and magic fruits? As long as these people in the biological division are proficient, new varieties will soon appear one after another to meet the diverse food needs.

And the appearance of the magic rice actually came just in time. When Hei Jiayu goes to Guizhou again tomorrow, the food seeds will not only be sweet potatoes, but the rice is also suitable for the environment there. As long as Mu Tengyun and the others can get a certain Insect corpses or insect crystals, no one will starve to death.

……

Morning came as promised.

For every Yongcheng person, today is still a day to embrace the future. As long as people are willing to work hard, they will never starve to death in Yongcheng. Even with the increase in food output brought about by the expansion of the city, every household even There is a little surplus food for a rainy day.

But... the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, which is a sign of winter.

Calculating the time, it is now December, but Yongcheng is located at the southern tip, and the average temperature in the coldest month has never been lower than ten degrees, but under the apocalypse, all the laws of the past have to be overthrown and restarted.

Li Jiayu clearly remembers that in the first cold winter in Yongcheng in his previous life, the temperature was almost ten degrees below zero. It would be too cold to wear a down jacket in the north, let alone the people of Yongcheng who generally have not been exposed to cold.

Recently, the temperature has been generally as low as [-] to [-] degrees, and according to the calculations of the scientific research institute, the temperature will definitely fall according to the trend, which is no different from the previous life.

Now the residents of Yongcheng can still rely on the clothes left behind to resist the cold, but at the coldest time, no matter how thick the thin clothes are, they cannot withstand the cold wind and snow.

Fortunately, Tiannan Province has one of the largest down jacket manufacturing bases in the country, Guigang City, which is only 150 kilometers away from Yongcheng.

But the so-called only is only for the powerful inheritors who can fly at high speed in the air. If the problem is to be solved by moving materials from there on a large scale, it will require the participation of countless ordinary people, and this, Almost impossible.

The first cold winter in her previous life left a deep impression on Li Jiayu. No one knew how many people froze to death. She saw countless people frozen to death in the house, and she was never able to blink again. She only knew that a year later, according to the statistics of Yongcheng, the population was only 300 million...

In the beginning, Yongcheng could rely on the reserves of worm eyes to forcibly raise the temperature, barely protecting the people from the cold, but the strength of Yong city in the previous life was weak, and the harvest of worm eyes was correspondingly much less. After only one month of maintenance, the reserves were exhausted.

This is still a city with a relatively small population like Yongcheng. If you switch to other cities with a population of tens of millions, where there are so many insect eyes for heating, their casualties are many more than Yongcheng, but no one can Not in the mood for statistics anymore.

In short, three years after the end of the world, there is no city with a population of more than ten million in the vast Central Plains. Even Yang An'an, who has the reputation of being a genius, cannot protect these ordinary people who cannot adapt to the end of the world.

Now we still have to prepare two-handed plans. If Chu Taihong is promoted to the lord level, then he can rest assured that he will open the way ahead, and he can recover many small cities along the way, and slightly alleviate the problem of various resource shortages. After a month, when the sun returns for the third time, he can let go and let ordinary people continue to come and go.

The fighting power of the lord level is still very reliable in the current period of time when the same level of alien races do not come out.

Another way is to rely on the harvested worm eyes... As long as the most difficult two months pass, the earth will warm up again, but this is really not a good way. If this continues, it is tantamount to begging for mercy from God, and Li Jiayu is inherently disgusted with this kind of behavior. After countless hardships, she has long made up her mind to take her destiny into her own hands.

She only wants to believe in herself... At most, plus the close friends who have established a deep relationship with her in this life.

This day was as calm as ever, so calm that the people in Yongcheng felt unreal happiness. Yongcheng was still developing in full swing and flourishing like yesterday. Within [-] kilometers, there are not many bugs and zombies raging because of the tens of thousands of inheritors of Yongcheng who clean up non-stop for days.

It was as if the brutal and bloody racial melees of the past had become a thing of the past and vanished into thin air.

In the evening, on the vast sky, there was only a dim afterglow, and the flickering light of lightning shone on the rough ocean.

Boom!

There was a loud bang!

On the wide sea one hundred kilometers south of Hainan Island, a huge deep space-time rift suddenly opened!

Immediately afterwards, a large group of dark plant vines, tentacle monsters, and other monsters from the abyss came out...

"Hahaha...Queen, here I come!"

Although it is more than 1000 kilometers away from Yongcheng, the monster army seems to be able to clearly distinguish the direction. Under the leadership of the female vine queen, they march in the same direction in a uniform manner.

They are about to kill the peaceful Yongcheng!

Chapter 32

The momentum is like a wave, and it cannot be stopped without a mountain

"Commander Zhang! Something is wrong. Large-scale abyssal creatures were found [-] kilometers outside Yangcheng City. Major General Ling was sent flying out as soon as he collided with them. of."

At the beginning of the end of the world, Yangcheng had a population of more than 2000 million. Naturally, it was full of talents. For example, there were two Tianjiao at the level of Ran Hongxia, and they were also well-known existences in their previous lives. They were Martial Emperor Ling Qingyun and Beast Emperor Hua Feiyang, now has a third-level high-level strength, and is not far from the lord level.

They all carry extremely powerful inheritances, and they can be said to be invincible at the same level among human beings. How could it be possible that they would be sent flying when they meet each other, and let the arrogant Hua Feiyang run away when they meet?

"Don't worry, take your time, have they met a lord-level foreign race?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Hua Feiyang's hasty voice:

"Commander Zhang, I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

"Enter."

Before he had time to take a breath, Hua Feiyang said quickly:

"When Ling Qingyun and I were hunting monsters outside, we met three lord-level alien races, all of whom were extremely powerful..."

"What? Three! Does Commander Wang know about this?"

"No...no, but you don't need to worry, because they don't seem to be coming towards us at all. They are walking straight. If we didn't just block them, Ling Qingyun might not be injured."

Hua Feiyang shook his head, with lingering fear on his face, and said in disbelief:

"Damn, this scientific research institute is not reliable at all. It is said that the space crack is not enough to support the passage of the lord-level alien race. How come there are three heads!"

"Huh? Are you sure they are not coming towards our Yangcheng?"

Commander Zhang didn't care what Hua Feiyang was complaining about, what he was most concerned about was whether these monsters would attack Yangcheng.

"Yes, that's right, I feel that Ling Qingyun and I are like garbage in their eyes, not even worth killing..."

Hua Feiyang was a little embarrassed. As the strongest under the two commanders of Yangcheng, he was so underestimated by the foreign race. He didn't even have the qualifications to look straight at him. His self-esteem was deeply hurt.

If one day he sees those tentacle monsters again, he must fight them for [-] rounds, and then kill them happily, so that his thoughts can be cleared, otherwise the thorn will always stick in his heart, mocking his weakness.

Although Ling Qingyun was seriously injured, he had survived a move after all, and he was just a coward who fled without fighting...

"Okay, it's good if you can survive, don't let go of the entanglements, you just think too much..."

Seeing Hua Feiyang's changing expression, Commander Zhang waved his hands casually, saying indifferently.

These Tianjiao are good at everything, but their personalities are extreme, they like to get into a dead end, and they are too persistent. In his opinion, they have too little experience, and they just need to be beaten a few times.

That's what he said, but what he doesn't know is that today is different from the past. In the age of magic, an extremely resolute heart is a necessary condition for leading to legends. If you just do whatever it takes to survive without your own beliefs, you won't even be able to reach the lord level...

This is the invisible threshold for psychic screening of people. People in the previous life only knew that if they had not stepped out of their own way, they would not be able to ascend to the legendary position, but they did not know that if the principle was too flexible, they would not even be able to ascend to the lord rank.

"By the way, Commander Zhang, is there any large human base in the northwest of Yangcheng?"

"You think too much. As early as the beginning of the last days, our Yangcheng gathered people from Nanyue Province and some Tiannan Provinces. Where are there other large bases..."

When talking about Tiannan Province, Commander Zhang's expression suddenly froze, and the mood that had just been relaxed became tense:

"No, there is still a large base in Tiannan Province, [-] kilometers away from us, just above the original site of Yongcheng!"

"Then shall we give them early warning..."

"Yo, it's promising, can you catch up?"

As he said that, Commander Zhang flicked Hua Feiyang's epaulettes, pretending to mock him.

"Uh... that's true..."

On the second day after Yangcheng encountered a tide of abyssal creatures, Guizhou was also facing the most tense moment.

"Major General Muto, our scouts discovered that there are extremely powerful aliens descending outside, and there are at least lord-level existences by visual inspection!"

After Hei Jiayu arrived in Guizhou, many days passed without incident, and since he got the seeds of Yongcheng and various new technologies, the life of Guizhou people has improved a lot, and many people from the surrounding small bases have come to settle. Now there are 40 people, and the number of inheritors has also increased a lot.

And Wu Tengyun also took advantage of the trend to rise to the third level and became one of the strongest people in Guizhou, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of major general assigned to him by Yongcheng.

For the rest of the third-level beginners, Yongcheng awarded them the rank of brigadier general, and they were incorporated into the system. Of course, they were lucky. After all, ordinary third-level juniors were not uncommon in Yongcheng, and they could never get the title of brigadier general.

And as Yongcheng's agent, Mu Tengyun, who was in charge of these brigadier generals, naturally became a major general... although his name was completely untrue.

Although Li Jiayu is the acting commander now, her military rank is still major general...

"What, there are lord-level powerhouses! Have they found our base?"

Wu Tengyun stood up suddenly, his movements were very agile, and he stared at the brigadier general in front of him seriously.

"No... They don't seem to be interested in us at all, they just wiped out the scouts within their line of sight, but they seem to have a very clear direction, traveling along a straight road, and a large area of ​​woods has been destroyed... ..."

"Oh? Then where are they going?"

"According to my observation, their traveling route will inevitably hit Yongcheng directly..."

"……you sure?"

"Of course, unless they stop halfway, but I don't think that's possible. It's only [-] kilometers from Guizhou to Yongcheng, and there are no rare treasures that they can crazily snatch, so it can only be Yongcheng."

The brigadier general let out a deep breath and said the reality that no one wanted to see.

"But why is it Yongcheng..."

Wu Tengyun murmured, he couldn't figure it out, he shook his head after a while, dismissed the brigadier general in front of him, opened a locked cabinet in an inconspicuous corner of the room, took out the key to unlock the layers Protection, activate the mental network repeater...

Abyss creatures have excellent stamina, they can travel continuously for almost [-] hours a day, and it is not uncommon to be able to walk [-] kilometers a day, and the distance between Yongcheng and Guizhou is not enough at all, Wu Tengyun has no time to go After further confirming the situation, he must inform Li Jiayu of the news as soon as possible, so that Yongcheng can fully prepare for the battle!

Chapter 33

Everyone enters combat readiness

"How can there be lord-level monsters traveling thousands of miles just to rush to Yongcheng? There was no such thing in my previous life. It stands to reason that no lord-level aliens should appear at this time..."

The occasional large space cracks are generally very unstable. Even if they can accommodate the entry of some powerful creatures, it is absolutely impossible for a group of alien races to come over. Not to mention, Li Jiayu has also heard that some alien races in the previous life wanted to venture in. As a result, the passage was closed when the body was only halfway through, directly smashing half of its body.

The mighty power of space makes even legendary powerhouses feel terrified. Therefore, except for some brainless or desperate people or aliens, no one would think of forcibly passing through the space cracks that appear by chance.

There are not many lucky existences like the Sacred Armored Centipede King on the entire earth. Either they survived through the big cracks in the ground like it, or they appeared on the deep seabed...

This is also the reason why the intelligence of the Sacred Armor Centipede King is much weaker than that of the same level, otherwise no Zerg would want to hit the south wall.

"It seems that they can only be aliens who came here specially to seek revenge. Let me figure it out... Killing the king-level Nirvana skeleton and the emperor-level dark evil dragon, that's all they provoked. It's not surprising that the forces behind them want to come to revenge."

Li Jiayu thought, these two big powers are the only ones that can bring lord-level aliens to the earth to avenge the juniors. If they are weaker, the lord-level strong will definitely not be able to send them here.

She didn't consider the possibility of the female vine queen gathering her companions to come to revenge. The strength of the mere third-level peak is not enough even with the female vines underneath. More importantly, where is the space channel for them to pass through?

"...Don't worry about it, let's start the general mobilization directly. This time, the big one is coming!"

Li Jiayu is very aware of the weight of the opponent this time. Just one lord level is enough to fight all the high-level inheritors in Yongcheng, let alone the number of lord level and the scale of the alien races they lead. Definitely an unprecedented bloody battle.

As for fighting by relying on the gathered spiritual power like last time, that is not within the consideration of conventional combat power, because it is a coincidence to fight the emperor-level dragon.

It is precisely because the dragon clan destroyed a large area of ​​human homes and killed countless humans. Under such circumstances, nearly a million humans with different personalities can unite and use their spiritual power in one place.

If there is no unified will, no amount of spiritual power will be able to play a role at all, and it may be a waste of help. Therefore, if Ling wants to gather strength, the best way is to let the foreign races in first, and then wait until a certain amount of damage is caused. shot.

But this is a real war crime, tens of thousands of human beings will die once they come, so this kind of practice is ignored for the time being, let's think of a way first, and see if we can keep the enemy out of the city wall.

Prioritizing the construction of fortifications would definitely be much better than fighting an encounter, but now there is only one day of preparation time at most, which is not sufficient at all.

"Pass my order, all the inheritors have started to prepare for battle, recruited workers to strengthen the fortifications, sent scouts [-] kilometers away, and the Celestial Eye Masters are always observing and conducting the highest level of alert!"

……

"Quick, quick! Put the magic cannon on me, this is a good time for it to show its talents!"
