Nie Bing's head was covered with a bloody bandage, and behind him were followed by hundreds of murderous hunters.
Nie Bing is an ordinary hunter, but he is very skilled. He is already a very good hunter in his twenties. Although he has not yet been promoted to the space hunter, the scope of his activities is not only meteorites.
With him, as early as when he was only eighteen years old, he had already reached the edge of the universe.
Nie Bing came back this time to help Sky City survive the beast crisis, but he did not qualify as a temporary soldier.
In the Sky City, there are regular active-duty soldiers, but the number of active-duty soldiers is very small, and they are not fighting soldiers.
Active-duty soldiers are commanders. They are proficient in the art of war and do not need to charge into battle.
According to the practice of the Sky City, once the Sky City is in danger or a war breaks out, every resident of the Sky City is obliged to join the army. This kind of army is temporarily formed. After the crisis is over, the army will
It will be disbanded, and only active military personnel consisting of commanders will remain. Retired military personnel will receive medals of honor, be respected by the residents of Sky City, and gain corresponding social status.
Because he was not qualified as a temporary soldier to serve his homeland, Nie Bing was very frustrated. Like Nie Bing, there were many passionate young people who rushed all the way back to the Sky City in order to climb to the top of the city and fight to the death against the beast tide.
, serve your homeland.
When the city fell, Nie Bing and a group of young people were playing in a residential area. They immediately formed a strong defense force and organized nearby residents to retreat to a safe location.
Now, behind Nie Bing is the only theater in the Sky City, and the only place that can resist the beast tide.
The theater is very large and can accommodate 100,000 people watching performances at the same time. Due to necessity, the theater's construction structure is extremely strong and is made of tons of marble. It is a unique place of refuge.
The theater has one main door and two small doors. Now, Nie Bing and his friends have blocked the two small doors with huge rocks, leaving the only door to accept refugees.
A steady stream of refugees poured into the theater. In just half an hour, the number of refugees in the theater had exceeded 40,000, and it was still increasing crazily.
Looking at the refugees coming in like a tide, Nie Bing felt inexplicable pressure, because their total number was only more than 500, and including the temporarily recruited hunters, the number of people who could fight was less than 2,000.
Most of the hunters have been drafted into the army, and those who remained are the old, weak, sick and disabled. After the city was broken, some of the soldiers defending the city walls dispersed, each looking for their relatives and losing their combat effectiveness. Now,
The entire city in the sky is in disarray.
Nie Bing wanted to unite people, but no one was willing to obey his command.
Just when Nie Bing was in a panic, someone had already organized the defeated soldiers and opened two other doors to accept refugees...
…
Faced with this chaotic situation, Nie Bing felt powerless.
Opening the other two doors means that the defense line has changed and the defense forces cannot be concentrated. There is no doubt that this is an extremely stupid approach. However, Nie Bing cannot stop it because he is only in a small circle and the people behind him are pretty good.
Hunter, he has no say at all in the entire Sky City.
"Brother Bing, they have opened the other two doors and moved a large amount of Qiong Ye into the theater for storage. Should we get some Qiong Ye for storage?"
There was a hint of anxiety on the face of a fair young man.
Humans living in the meteorite belt all know that because of the special geographical environment of the meteorite belt, Qiong Ye must be used to supplement nutrition and strengthen the body. Otherwise, ordinary humans will not be able to survive in the meteorite belt for a long time.
After the city was broken, the beast tide raged and the Qiong trees were destroyed on a large scale. By then, the Qiong leaves, which were already very rare, would become even more rare.
"What! They stored Qiong Ye in the theater?" Nie Bing was shocked.
"Yes……"
"A bunch of idiots!" Nie Bing yelled.
"What's wrong?"
"Those herbivores can smell the scent of Qiong Ye. When the time comes, large-scale herbivores will follow the scent and find this place... Idiot, idiot... This theater has no problem blocking those agile and light predators, but
Can't stop those huge herbivores..."
Nie Bing was extremely worried.
"Ah...then...then...what should we do?"
"No, I have to stop them! Be careful, I'll come over there."
"Okay, Brother Bing..." The fair and fair young man looked at Nie Bing's angry and frustrated look, he hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.
Nie Bing rushed into the theater anxiously.
At this time, the entire theater was crowded with people, the painful wails of the injured and the cries of children were everywhere. There was a stench in the air, as if it was the end of the world.
In fact, the residents of Sky City all know that the destruction of the city means the end of the world.
Many people had blank expressions on their faces, some were kneeling on the ground and praying quietly, and even more people were making loud noises in anger...
At the side door, Nie Bing saw a large number of soldiers carrying some boxes.
Nie Bing knew those boxes because they were the reserve materials belonging to Sky City, and from the pattern on the boxes, it could be seen that what was inside was Qiong Ye.
"Hey, what are you doing? You moved Qiong Ye to the theater, what if it attracts herbivores?" Nie Bing rushed over, grabbed a soldier carrying Qiong Ye, and asked sharply.
"Who are you?"
"I am Nie Bing!" Nie Bing puffed up his chest and said loudly.
"Nie Bing, does anyone know what Nie Bing is?" The soldier laughed.
"I don't know, what is Nie Bing?"
"Haha... I really don't know what Nie Bing is..."
"Tell me yourself, what are you..."
The soldiers laughed loudly.
"you……"
"Boy, if you are wise, get out of here. It's not your turn to speak here!" A tall, rough-looking soldier strode in. From his uniform, it could be seen that he was a senior commander.
"General, Qiong Ye will attract..."
"I know. Although the city is broken now, the beast tide has dispersed and lost its cohesion, and we are still strong. It is a bit difficult to protect the plants in the Sky City, but guarding this small theater is not a problem. Besides, we can
I don’t want to gnaw on the bitter and astringent moss and live in vain.”
"Although the herbivores are scattered, many of them are huge. This theater has no problem blocking the predators. However, it may be a bit difficult to block the herbivores. Think twice about the general..."
"Well, I understand. We will take over the theater's defense later. Thank you for standing up in times of danger. Now, your mission is over." The soldier snorted and said disapprovingly.
"..."
Nie Bing opened his mouth and glanced at the soldiers who were pouring in like a tide, but he still didn't speak.
As the soldier said, given his status, it was not his turn to make the decision.
Nie Bing returned to the gate anxiously.
Sure enough, a large number of soldiers were already taking over the defense, and they had a verbal conflict with the hunters organized by Nie Bing, and they were making a big fuss.
"We can't stay here anymore, we have to find another place!"
Nie Bing immediately convened a group of core backbones for discussion. After some explanations, the opinions of the backbones also differed. Some people believed that it was safer with more people here, and there were food reserves, not to mention regular soldiers to provide protection.
"Okay, anyway, I want to leave. If you are willing to follow me, you can leave. If you don't want to leave, just stay."
The disagreement ended with a parting of ways.
When leaving, Nie Bing informed the refugees in the theater about the incident, and some refugees voluntarily followed Nie Bing to leave, totaling about three thousand people.
The soldiers watched indifferently and did not stop Nie Bing from taking away the refugees. For them, it was easier to manage without a group of people who had differences. Besides, they could save a lot of food and leaves.
Under the cynicism of a group of soldiers, Nie Bing and hundreds of hunters left the theater as a refuge with nearly 3,000 refugees. At this time, the number of refugees in the refuge had exceeded 80,000. There were huge crowds of people and a steady stream of people around them.
Refugees are gathering...
…
The streets were extremely desolate, with mutilated corpses lying everywhere. Most of the buildings on both sides had been destroyed. The green belt had been eaten away, leaving only bare tree trunks. Some were simply uprooted. It seemed that there was no possibility of survival.
.
Herbivores also seem to be deliberately destroying this human base.
For herbivores, humans are the biggest threat, because apart from a very small amount of planting and breeding, most of the food for the nearly million humans in the Sky City comes from herbivores active in the meteorite belt.
"Where are we going?" asked a hunter.
"You can do it anywhere, it's better than staying in the theater! Don't worry, herbivores are not interested in us. We only need to beware of attacks by carnivores. However, there are so many of us, and carnivores mostly move alone. They usually don't
Will attack humans gathered together..."
"Ah...blood wolf..."
There was a sound of panic among the crowd.
In front of the street, dozens of wolves with blood-red fur and strong bodies looked fierce. Their ferocious eyes stared at the crowd, and their mouths were half-opened, revealing white teeth.
"Ready to fight!"
Looking at the ferocious-looking blood wolf, Nie Bing's heart sank and a chill ran down his spine.
In the meteorite belt, there are very few carnivores that live in groups, and blood wolves are one of the few.
The individual combat power of blood wolves is not strong, but they usually gather fifty of them to hunt. When they encounter prey, they will attack in groups without fear of death. Even some top-level beasts in the meteorite belt will not attack them.
Provoke the blood wolf.
Blood wolves like to attack humans very much, because blood wolves are not large and it is difficult to hunt herbivores that can easily weigh tens of tons. Therefore, they are more keen on hunting humans.
In the meteorite belt, blood wolves are hunters' nightmare.
Now, human hunters have an absolute advantage, because there are only about fifty blood wolves, while the number of human hunters is at least several hundred.
However, the numerical advantage has become insignificant at this time, because human hunters still need to protect thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people who are unable to protect themselves...
The wolves began to circle around the crowd, relying on their quick speed to find gaps in the defense circle, waiting for opportunities to move...
