Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 419 - Life and Battles are Endless!
Chapter 419 Life and Battles are Endless!
The Dongting Lake is the center of the Dongting city and areas a little further away have been abandoned. The so-called four fortresses are Yueyang district, Zhuzhou district, Yiyang district, and Changde district. They surround and protect the Dongting Lake in the center.
Mutant monsters attack human sites once every one or two months. Residents of Dongting City are used to this and people with martial arts above fourth rank and spirit power above fifth rank will all be sent to defend the city.
Technology is developing each passing day but defending the city causes deaths and injuries. Why does the authority still send people to do it? Citizens of the Dongting City join the battle voluntarily because they want to guard their pure homeland. Besides, the outbreak of monster tide also means the time for everyone to hunt.
Especially the first monster tide. Endless low-rank mutant monsters will come, which represents shining crystal coins!
When Lin Luoran and Lu Yiming receive the warning, they are in Zhuzhou market. The fortress they are going to is obvious.
Lu Shuangshuang is a problem. Fortunately, boss Zheng offers to help them take care of Lu Shuangshuang. Lin Luoran looks at him deeply and nods in agreement.
The alarm in Changzhou District is ringing. Many citizens are heading towards the city gate. They rush to the bus to offer help, to be exact, to hunt.
There are also some powerful warriors. They run swiftly towards the city gate just on foot.
In the past, Lu Yiming also went there by bus. Today Aunt Lin pats him on the back and Lu Yiming can also run swiftly. He is so shocked when Lin Luoran greets him to move quickly.
The two are running on the street. Lu Yiming thinks over and over. He can’t forget how magical what just happened is.
In fact, the magical thing he is thinking about is just a simple “light body spell” which Bearing Essence cultivators can easily cast on ordinary people. Without teachers, Lin Luoran owned many stuffs but she didn’t use them. After White Fairy woke up, she began to learn some little spells of great use.
When they arrive at the city gate, it is not too late but it is definitely not early.
The outer wall is like an iron barrel reinforced with unknown alloy. It totally surrounds the entire Dongting City. Outside the city, it is not all scorched black land. A piece of yellow soil land can also nurture food as inside the city. In front of the crop belt, it is a spacious buffer zone. Citizens defending the city will fight before the crop belt.
The ozone layer disappears so the growth cycle of crops is in disorder. Now it is midsummer. Normally, wheat would have been harvested long ago. However, now wheat planted in the crop belt is still green. If mutant monsters destroy it, the food for this season will be totally wasted.
The first wave towards the city is mutant rats and people feel less interested. Rats always carry tons of bacteria. In this new era of very heavy pollution, who has the nerve to eat rat meat? Fur of such low-rank rats is not bright so it is worth of little money. Rank One inner boluses of mutant monsters are the commonest so they are very cheap. Moreover, the mutant rats’ paws and teeth contain a lot of bacteria. Accidentally being scratched, people will be trapped in big problems as medical expenses.
Fortunately, the City Hall also knows that this is a bad deal. Therefore, it offers corresponding reward for hunting mutant rats. It is better than nothing so these rats are like appetizers for everyone.
In the past, in order to save money for buying gene evolution fluid, Lu Yiming will squeeze forward no matter how hard or worthless the job is—However, now Aunt Lin says nothing. Besides, he has already known that gene evolution fluid is useless for Lu Shuangshuang. In this case, why should he venture to fight?
There are soldiers holding thermal weapons upon the city walls. Most of the people fighting with mutant monsters are holding melee weapons.
Humans who have been injected with gene evolution fluid are not like ordinary people before the new era. They are usually strong and even thin people may have extraordinary martial arts skills. The Earth Federation is working hard to develop Pluto. Therefore, it tries to save energy as much as possible. If melee weapons can work, the federation will never resort to bullets, which is really environmentally friendly.
Citizens defending the city have at least martial arts of fifth rank. With years of experience, gangs will always organize some people to defeat low-rank monsters so it is like doing tasks in an online game before the new era. In about more than ten minutes, tens of thousands of mutant rats have almost been dead. Many people regret not getting the best position so much.
The rat corpses are thrown into deep pits. Killing mutant rats will totally be recorded on personal computers on people’s wrists. It can prevent fraudulent claims of greedy people—It has been many years after the reconstruction of Dongting City and the basic system has improved.
More and more people rush to the front line. Lin Luoran finds that many people have formed teams, which shows that the next tide is definitely not low-rank mutant monsters like mutant rats.
Dust rages across the horizon and the sound of hoofs is ringing in the dust. Lin Luoran sees brutal cattle! Unlike docile cattle before the new era, these four-hoof black mutant cattle are very brute. Their sharp horns can even penetrate thin alloy plates!
If ordinary people meet these mutant cattle outside the city, they will definitely die. However, these front-line soldiers are now forming teams to deal with them. Many people even feel excited.
Lin Luoran feels confused and asks Lu Yiming in a low voice.
A trace of sarcasm appears on the face of the teenager, “The mutant cowhide is hard and durable. It is the favorite military boots material of Alpha Alliance army and has always been the major goods which the Earth exports to the Alpha Alliance. Compared with cheap mutant rats, it is really good stuff. ”
Military materials exporting to the Alpha Alliance?
It is certainly not surprising that Lu Yiming has such an attitude towards the alliance army which once trampled the earth.
Lin Luoran looks up to the southwest. On the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, the “Himalayas” known as the roof of the world, the Alpha Alliance is stationed on the earth under the name of peacekeepers.
Peacekeeping? One day, she will kick these aliens out of the earth.
Lu Yiming notices that the young woman standing in front of him becomes fierce. The mutant cattle are almost killed by others but Aunt Lin still does nothing. He has to step forward and whispers to remind her, “Aunt Lin, people who kill nothing in defending the city for continuous three times will be banished out of the city… ”
Rank Five warriors have to fight at all times. Heroes emerge when they fight bloody battles. The new Earth Federation doesn’t indulge in comfort zone and Lin Luoran really appreciates it.
Temporary dilemma is not a dead end. When aboriginal people of one nation, country, and a planet lose their will to fight, they will totally become slaves in terms of spirit.
Lin Luoran can clearly see Dongting citizens on the front line. They are surrounding wild cattle desperately.
Only by killing mutant monsters can they get the chance to trade and then get energy and food for survival.
Such kind of faith supports human beings of the new era to endure the pain of gene evolution fluid injection. They fight with melee weapons against mutant monsters.
Do they treat these ugly mutant monsters as substitutes of some kind of power?
Lin Luoran sees a young man surrounded by two mutant cattle. He is impaled by horns and a large stream of blood comes out from his abdomen. It’s so miserable but he only says some dirty words and continues to fight.
Lin Luoran feels a seed comes out of her heart and grows into the vigor of a young man—God knows how long she hasn’t been so rash except for doing things for her relatives.
“Yiming, go to kill mutant monsters with me!”
“Yes, Aunt Lin!”
Lin Luoran runs out of the gate swiftly, like a big bird above the green wheat. In a few steps, she comes to the front battlefield two or three miles away.
Lu Yiming is slightly inferior but the light body spell is still efficient. He runs as fast as an antelope.
Everyone who sees this will applaud how awesome their skills are.
A captain guarding the city gate thinks they must be masters from other areas and they happen to be in Zhuzhou District today. It seems that his district can get high-rank mutant monsters today in the city defensive battle.
Lin Luoran arrives and rescues the young man with a big hole in his abdomen. She quickly clicks many times on acupuncture points of his body and puts a slide of old ginseng under his tongue.
“I need your sword!”
The young man is seriously injured. Replaced by others, he feels so relaxed. Not to mention the alloy sword, he can give up many other precious things. The medical team carries him to the stretcher and takes him to the city. The young man wants to thank his savior but he is so injured that he can barely open his eyes. He sees a tall and slender back—is it a woman?
Holding a “sword” made of unknown materials, Lin Luoran kills one mutant cattle with every move. Although the world is united now, most of the citizens living in Dongting City are the former people of Huaxia with black hair and yellow skin. They are all her compatriots who she knows so well.
Exposing her power is nothing.
Lin Luoran has already made a choice at this moment. It is better to search for her family members in a high-profile manner. When you shine brightly in one place, you will have a greater chance to find the thing you are looking for!
Let her become the target…
Lu Yiming is stunned. He has known that Aunt Lin is very powerful. However, slaughtering the thick-skinned mutant cattle with one blow? It is unbelievably powerful… The teenager swallows out of admiration. He is distracted and almost hit by a horn. Lu Yiming presses a switch on the alloy hilt hurriedly. The sword body pops out with bright light.
This is the alloy sword which the Federation created for Ma Ming in the past. It is much better than other ordinary goods. It is not only convenient to carry, but also very sharp. Lu Yiming is armed with such a weapon so that he can be rated as a Rank Five warrior.
Lin Luoran glances him and realizes Lu Yiming can protect himself so she feels very relieved. Leaping high, she steps on the backs of several cattle and chops towards a smaller black cow among the herd—it can deceive others but it cannot deceive Lin Luoran’s spiritual mind. It’s said that monsters can also communicate with each other. This little black cattle frequently sends out spiritual fluctuations which are unnoticed for humans. It must be the leader of this group of mutant cattle.
Destroying the leader and the gang will naturally collapse!
In the monster forest, Lin Luoran has fought with countless monsters which are more terrifying and powerful. She does not even need to use Wakan and she can certainly kill the mutant cattle leader with her experience alone!
Many warriors see this woman who joins in the war lastly with amazing power. She jumps high and sweeps her bright sword towards an ordinary little black cattle. Many martial arts warriors feel really weird.
The mutant cattle senses the crisis first and retreats instinctively. However, the sharp sword light falls down. It hides under the cover of the herd but only feels its neck is cold and then it feels nothing else anymore.
The black blood is scattered all over the ground and the head of the little black cattle is thrown into the air. Lin Luoran catches the head and takes an inner bolus which is not small in size. The personal computer which Boss Zheng gave her is not a copycat product. When she gets the inner bolus, it shows a value of “59”. It is a mutant cattle of almost sixth rank. It is qualified to be the leader among this herd of cattle of third or fourth rank.
Lin Luoran stands on the back of the cattle as if she is on the flat ground in a simple and vintage green dress. A group of warriors are all stunned.
Without the leader, the herd of cattle no longer attack human beings. They retreat as fast as how they come here. Thousands of warriors on the front line are so quiet without even a voice.
“Well…”
The beautiful woman is condescending and she speaks slowly.
“…Life and battles are endless! The next tide is mutant mantises. All warriors, are you confident enough to kill them with me?!”
