They were well aware of what they were about to face and knew that in this situation, if they didn't resist with all their might, there would only be one outcome.
That outcome was losing their lives.
The battle continued for nearly ten minutes, and the area around the city walls was already littered with corpses.
Not a single person on our side had sustained any injuries.
"Switch out!" I commanded.
Lin Chun lowered his assault rifle and turned to look at me. "Lu Ge, it's fine, I'm not tired..."
"Switch out!" I didn't offer any further explanation.
Lin Chun immediately nodded, and then Chen Zhi stepped forward.
I understood that everyone wanted to fight, but to a certain extent, I had to ensure everyone's safety.
While it was true that everyone was in good condition now and capable of maintaining a high intensity of combat, once their energy was depleted, recovering their Shepherd God Power would not be so simple.
Most importantly, although our bodies had been enhanced and could withstand intense combat, ordinary people could not.
Besides ensuring my own state, I also had to ensure the state of everyone else.
No one knew when these beasts would stop their assault.
"It's alright, as long as it's ground combat, we can handle it..." Chen Zhi said with a smile, picking up a machine gun and opening fire on the ground.
From this point, it was evident that Chen Zhi's cultivation was much better than Lin Chun's.
The reason was simple: even with the Shepherd God Power wrapped around them, Chen Zhi's shooting speed was much faster than Lin Chun's.
And the lethality of his attacks was even more effective.
"Well done!" I said with a smile. "Although it seems troublesome, this might not be a bad thing for us!"
Chen Zhi nodded with a smile, "This is a lot of food..."
I nodded but didn't say much more.
I had a feeling something was not right.
These creatures' attacks were somewhat abnormal.
I hadn't lived in this place for just a day or two and had witnessed many strange occurrences.
However, the current situation was beyond what I had expected.
At least, this was the first time I had seen such a large-scale beast attack.
I wondered how many beasts would be left after such an assault...
But one thing was certain: if we could overcome this hurdle, this place would likely be free of any beasts for a very long time...
The battle continued, Chen Zhi's attacks were remarkably steady.
I, on the other hand, continuously attacked the densest concentrations of beasts.
Yet, in the distance, I could still see a dark mass of beasts surging towards us.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt something was off and quickly looked up.
I saw quite a few birds in the distance, shooting towards us.
My face changed drastically.
"Quick! Birds!" Chen Zhi shouted. "It's my fault for jinxing it..."
"Something is not right..." I frowned. "You take care of the sky, I'll handle the ground!"
Chen Zhi nodded.
The others who were resting also took out their weapons.
I didn't know the names of these birds, but they had very large wingspans.
They continuously fired into the air, and one by one, the birds were shot down.
The scene became incredibly chaotic.
Ground beasts were attacking, and flying birds were attacking from the air. Most importantly, there were not many people who could effectively fight.
I had sent the savages, who had no combat power, back. As for the ordinary people, they could only attack at close range...
Their eyesight was not good, and there was little they could do.
The only ones with any real combat capability were these few individuals.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of relief for having taught Chen Zhi and the others.
If I had to rely on myself alone, solving these problems would not have been so easy.
After ten minutes, Zuo Qing immediately came over and joined the fight.
This way, they rotated continuously.
Despite our caution, some people were still injured.
However, everyone understood the importance of this battle, so almost no one would willingly disengage.
But I was unwilling to let them push themselves too hard, so as soon as someone was injured, they would be ordered to retreat immediately.
Given the current situation, although there was some pressure, it was not as immense as imagined.
Especially since the number of beasts on the ground had decreased, the more troublesome issue now was the birds in the air.
At this point, I noticed that both the beasts and the birds seemed to have been provoked by something.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they showed no fear of death.
It was unclear what was going on.
The battle continued, and by late night, it finally eased slightly.
My own condition was not good either. I was not injured, but my Shepherd God Power had been heavily depleted.
