My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 37 Strong Defensive Buildings Versus the Demon Wave (Top)

Translator: SumTLMan

At such times, the ordinary survivors and awakened ones are both the same, panicking at what was happening before them.

In the face of the boundless wave of demonized beasts, the awakened ones won’t fare much better than the ordinary survivors. These people were all well aware of their power and know the possibility of escape was nonexistent.

The scene on the city wall became chaotic for a period. Fortunately, the city gate was wide enough to accommodate the incoming survivors with a few people remaining outside. Soon, these survivors arrived within the city wall.

Some of these survivors leaned against the edge of the city wall while hyperventilating and staring blankly at the wave of demonized beasts.

Even with the tall city wall, these survivors weren’t confident whether it would hold up against a demon wave attack.

“I see flying demonized beasts coming towards us, the city wall can’t stop them!”

“Even if the city wall can resist the demon wave for a while. There are simply too many demonized beasts in this demon wave. When comparing our awakened ones to the number of demonized beasts. How can we humans possibly compete?”

“It’s over. I thought I’d have a stable life in this shelter. Who would’ve guessed it would’ve been better if I hadn’t come here…? If only I knew…”

The mood of hopelessness hung above everyone’s head. Suddenly, some survivors discovered that none of the shelter leaders such as Leader Tang or the other senior figures could be seen around.

Did they escape?

Some of the survivors couldn’t help but doubt whether the shelter leaders had escaped. Given the strength of the shelter leaders, it was entirely possible for the shelter leaders to escape this encirclement. This is especially true with awakened ones as fierce as Captain Roger.

At this thought, the hearts of many of the survivors became dark. Some of these survivors even began giving birth to feelings of resentment.

Then a survivor shouted and pointed outside: “Look, they’re still outside!”

The survivors looked past the city gate while others ran to the edge of the city wall battlements. They saw how close the demon wave were drawn to outside the shelter. The swarming demonized beasts are stampeding in a straight line. Some of the older buildings in the path of the demon wave had gone through a prior wave and were left quite fragile. After this demon wave stampeded through, the buildings finally collapsed.

Even under such circumstances, Leader Tang and the others are still undeterred. The shelter leaders were just standing on the small square as if ready to meet head-on with this wave of demonized beasts. These people seemed ready to face these monsters with their insignificant flesh and blood!

What fearlessness!

The survivors who witnessed such a scene couldn’t help but feel ashamed. They misjudged Leader Tang and the others. These people had no thoughts of escaping, but went to fight at the front lines against this demon wave, ah!

However, some survivors still couldn’t fathom why Leader Tang and the others didn’t return to the city wall. Does this show the shelter is doomed? Thereby causing the shelter leaders to just want to go out with a bang?

The survivors looked at Tang Yu and the shelter leaders in awe.

Being escorted by a puppet, the bearded awakened one also peered beyond the city wall. His eyes looked at Tang Yu as if he were looking at a dead man.

Tang Yu observed the demon wave.

It was dark, oppressive and moved like a tidal wave upon the land.

These roars, this stampede and… With just this, it was enough for the vast majority of survivors to be left only wanting to escape.

Even an awakened one, when faced with such a scene, will likely be terrified beyond belief and left unable to hold onto even their weapon. Let alone fighting back against this wave of demonized beasts.

This is a disaster during the doomsday which has reduced many shelters into ruins.

As was the case of the former Tree Shade Shelter.

At present, no one was free from being gripped with fear at the sight of the demon wave.

However…

After all, Tang Yu experienced a demon wave before and survived. Tang Yu can be considered as a demon wave survivor.

This time in the face of the demon wave, the scene is truly spectacular. His heart also beat a half-beat faster. Not out of fear, but from pure excitement and overwhelming joy.

If one were to ask other survivors what a demon wave meant to them?

Out of a hundred people, ninety-nine will think it means destruction. The remaining person will be scared out of their wits and left unable to speak.

But Tang Yu doesn’t think this way. How can the demon wave mean destruction? This event clearly means money!

Even if he’s now a boss-level figure with over ten thousand source crystals. Given that source crystals have become even more valuable than the banknotes from before the doomsday. No one will think having too many source crystals will be too much, especially a righteous lord such as him.

Looking at the surging demonized beasts, Tang Yu was almost drooling from his mouth.

“If the source crystal yield can be estimated at a rate of one in ten demonized beasts, then…”

Tang Yu clenched his fist. He found that the math he learned in university wasn’t enough to calculate his returns.

“Old Chen, you head on back to the shelter first. Elaine, you head back too.”

Chen Haiping and a group of survivors who joined the patrol team were still outside.

Perhaps these people haven’t retreated because they are the top figures in the shelter, but this quality of facing a disaster with the leader is rare in any shelter.

Tang Yu saw many patrol team members quaking in their boots and clenching their teeth. Some were just ordinary survivors. In contrast, some of the awakened ones after hearing the command to head back, by virtue of their speed advantage. Are the first ones to arrive inside the city wall.

Sure enough, this first batch of patrol team members is worth training.

At the city wall gate, the metal gate abruptly came down, blocking the survivors’ view.

Some of the survivors were crouching and shivering in a corner while others climbed onto the city wall and stared at the distant demon wave with nervous faces.

Chen Haiping handed out guns and cold weapons to the patrol team members, who then pointed their guns in the distance. However, even though they were holding the crystallization of human wisdom, the hot weapons. They still held little confidence these weapons would hold back the demon wave in their hearts.

Elaine’s clothes fluttered in the wind as her staff stood upright while she held it against her chest. From the impression in the minds of the survivors, her face remained expressionless. However, if there were any observant survivors around. They would notice that Elaine’s eyes were locked onto Tang Yu’s figure without moving her gaze at all.

Tang Yu took a deep breath and looked back. His voice was indifferent but full of confidence as it spread throughout the shelter.

“Our shelter may not have much personnel and may even be considered a small-scale shelter. But we are confident in our ability to protect every survivor who abides by our shelter system from being harmed by the demonized beasts!”

At the end of his short speech, a familiar list of buildings appeared in front of Tang Yu. His mind opened the list and came to the final tab for defensive buildings.

“The construction of the Arrow Tower x 4: Consume a total of 800 units of source crystal, 1,200 units of wood, 800 units of stone and 400 units of iron.”

“The construction of the Cannon: Consume a total of 1,000 units of source crystal, 200 units of wood, 200 units of stone and 500 units of iron.”

Tang Yu’s hands reach out with his palms facing up as if he were offering a gift to the world.

“Rise!!”

Rumble!!

The debris and materials in the small square were immediately pulled over. The wood, stone and iron mix together through the control of an immeasurable force as these materials began inexplicably changing.

From the foundation, the tower body to the roof of the tower…

Four towers stood tall beside Tang Yu, one on the left and the other on the right, seemingly being built out of thin air!

The black exterior tower wall looked as thick as basalt and a dark hole extends from the top of the tower from which a sharp arrow gleamed with a cold light.

This is the most basic defensive building in Lord of the End, The Arrow Tower.

Although the tower construction cost is cheap and its appearance is only slightly more domineering than an ancient arrow tower. Its power cannot be underestimated.

Each arrow fired by the arrow tower is formed by condensed energy. After going through the process of condensing arrows with runes, what is formed is a super rune arrow with unparalleled destructive and penetrating force!

While the arrow tower was finishing construction, the roars coming from behind were growing increasingly intense.

A cannon with a dark and bright metallic muzzle the length of a basketball court was also built in this instance.

As this was all happening, the survivors watching on from the city wall were all left speechless.

With a wave of the hand, two types of buildings suspected as arrow towers and a cannon were built.

Whether measured in terms of speed or scale of construction, it made everyone feel as if they were all dreaming!

This was a miracle!

A few of the survivors who had witnessed the first city wall construction scene didn’t feel as though this was such a bizarre sight. But many of the new survivors around them were captivated by this scene as the earlier survivors began sharing their experiences with spittle flying all over the place. Each survivor began recounting how spectacular the construction of the city wall was in those days. By contrast, the mere construction of the arrow towers and cannon were truly nothing at all…
