258: Encountering the capital again

A gunshot pierced the sky, falling like a meteor!

Seven-colored light scattered, and a large rooster with vibrant feathers flew from the night sky, and on this large rooster stood a spirited old man.

The bullet fell, so fast that one could only see a flash of light; Zhang Hong and his group, struggling on the ground, heard a booming in their ears, and then saw a blood-filled hole the size of a water vat appear on the wild boar, which was over ten meters tall, with blood flowing out like a small river.

The giant wild boar let out a mournful cry, its already crimson eyes turned even more scarlet, and it charged towards Zhang Hong like a small mountain.

Zhang Hong was no longer the C-rank Talent Holder he once was, nor was he Level Three; he was now a level four A-rank Talent Holder, having received the full support of the base.

He had also received guidance on marksmanship from He Zhixin.

And Zhang Hong lived up to expectations, making remarkable progress, and even facing the current Level Five Pollution Beast, he did not flinch.

"Chief Steward." Zhang Hong was soaked in blood, with a bone-deep wound on his back.

Zhang Xile poured a bottle of potion into Zhang Hong, then instructed, "Thank you for your hard work, we'll take it from here."

A stream of light swept up Zhang Hong and a few others, throwing them into the distance, and at this moment, behind Zhang Xile, a great sun emitting a purple halo suddenly rose.

Dense swarms of venomous insects had already appeared around the Blood Armored Wild Boar, encircling it, among which several Gu worms had extremely powerful auras, guarded by thousands of venomous insects.

The ground and rocks trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred, the ground cracked, and hundreds of thousands of boulders floated up, a giant beast with white fur all over its body emerged from beneath the earth.

The frenzied Blood Armored Wild Boar also seemed to sense the threat, lowering its head, its two tusks raised, emitting a low growl from its mouth, and a magma-like red light flowed over its blood-red outer armor.

"Attack!"

Zhang Xile spoke, and the great sun behind him suddenly fell, accompanied by the wild boar's wails, hundreds of thousands of boulders crashed down again, two gunshots rang out one after another, blasting two more blood holes in the wild boar, and finally, dense swarms of venomous insects surged over, the wild boar's shrill screams echoed throughout the entire valley, even Zhang Hong and his group in the distance shivered upon hearing it.

Zhang Hong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "She truly lives up to the name 'Ten Thousand Gu Demoness.' Just seeing this scene is enough to give me nightmares for three days. If anyone were to offend her..."

The consequences, he dared not even imagine.

The wild boar's head was the last to be gnawed, meaning this Level Five Pollution Beast, relying on its tenacious vitality, endured watching the entire process of itself being gnawed bit by bit. Everyone who witnessed this scene would likely have nightmares tonight.

A Level Five Pollution Beast, in the hands of the strong users of Tianfu Base, failed to make any waves.

"Alright, everyone worked hard tonight. It's getting late, I hope you all have a good night's sleep." Zhang Xile was exhausted; he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. He had planned to sleep well tonight, but another Level Five Pollution Beast appeared. He hoped nothing else would happen after this.

Returning, Zhang Xile suddenly remembered that he hadn't received the item Brother Tang traded him, so he quickly took it out, intending to see what it was. Good heavens, at a glance, Zhang Xile instantly lost all his sleepiness!

"Flesh and Blood City Wall! Soldier Puppet!" As if he remembered something, Zhang Xile slapped his thigh in regret, "My Level Five Soldier Puppet!"

He quickly turned back, clearly still unwilling to give up, but seeing the empty skeleton, his heart completely died.

However, Zhang Xile immediately issued a task to acquire Pollution Beast corpses, with no limit, and precious unpolluted food could be traded for them.

With the release of the task, Tianfu Base became lively again, thousands of Talent Users left the city overnight, preparing to hunt Pollution Beasts to exchange for food. Although it said no limit, everyone was worried that this task might be gone tomorrow.

No one expected that the Pollution Beast corpses, which were once discarded as waste, could be exchanged for unpolluted food. Some Talent Users even contacted other bases and began acquiring them at even lower prices.

And after successfully obtaining food, everyone was even more motivated.

Zhang Xile also went another night without rest; the city wall, which was like a model, was originally only the length and width of a finger, but now its length had reached several meters. On the city wall, one could still see the Soldier Puppets, as small as ants.

And these seemingly tiny Soldier Puppets, as the city wall landed, each had a size of three to five meters tall, and their bodies were incredibly hard, feeling no pain at all, they were complete weapons of war.

In the conference hall, besides Zhang Xile, there were several other high-ranking officials of the base.

"When do we plan to use this city wall?" Shang Wan held a very cute, slender white-furred rat in her arms.

"There's no rush to use it now. It won't be too late to use it when the Flesh and Blood City Wall is fed enough to completely envelop the base," Zhang Xile thought for a moment and said.

"I do have an idea," Wu Weiwei said.

"What idea? Tell me," Zhang Xile said.

"I was thinking, why not temporarily turn this city wall into a road, paving it all the way to the city, and those Soldier Puppets can be used for guarding. We only need to arrange a small number of people to act as centurions and chiliarchs," Wu Weiwei said with a smile.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Xile's eyes: "Good idea! This way, we can connect ourselves and those bases more closely, and more importantly, with this road, no, this city wall, it will be more convenient for other survivors who want to join my Tianfu Base!"

Wu Weiwei nodded: "I think so too. Our base lacks nothing now but people. Instead of spending huge manpower and resources to gather those survivors, it's better to let this city wall become a road, letting those survivors come by themselves."

"Hahahaha, good, let's do it! But the city is still several tens of kilometers away, and our current city wall is far from enough; we need to collect more Pollution Beast corpses," Zhang Xile said, looking at the winding city wall floating before him.

"It won't take long; many people in the base are helping us collect them."

...Inside the dungeon, Tang Ping had already met with Li Tianheng.

"The three members of the Dragon Python Society have encountered some trouble. Let's go check it out," Miao Qingshi said, closing her panel. "After all, they are from my Qingtian Base; we can't let outsiders bully them."

"Who is it?" Tang Ping asked.

"Shangjing City."
