An Nuan easily took down one of the opponent's key figures.
With one seventh-tier fighter gone, the enemy's morale plummeted. Xiong Da wanted to throw a party in the base, but An Nuan stopped him.
"We've only killed a few dozen people. What's there to celebrate? The main force is still behind them."
Her words made everyone feel a bit ashamed.
An Nuan asked, "Xiong Er, what about the people you contacted? What's their attitude?"
"Some are okay, they've decided to join us, but they're asking for supplies from us in the future and want to be absorbed into the group. As for some others... hmph, they have no sense of the bigger picture!"
Xiong Er expressed his disgust.
The city wasn't theirs alone to dominate. Asking those people to fight against the external enemy, yet they were all scheming for their own gain.
An Nuan scoffed, "That's human nature. They only realize the danger when it's at their doorstep."
"Give them a deadline. Before five PM tomorrow, those who want to come can, and those who don't can scram."
"If we get overwhelmed, we'll all retreat to my place and regroup to fight back."
"If we're not overwhelmed... the fight is dangerous, and if anyone gets hurt, it's not our business."
There were millions of survivors in the city.
After the disaster began, this place, nestled against the mountains and protected by the forest, was not as severely impacted by extreme temperature changes.
Coupled with the existing military bases and radar stations, the mortality rate here was significantly lower than in other areas.
The number of survivors was also higher.
If everyone had been united, there wouldn't have been any problems.
But now, no one trusted anyone else; they all treated each other as enemies.
A scattered mess, they deserved to die.
An Nuan wasn't interested in their petty squabbles. After listening to her father's meeting arrangements, she felt sleepy again.
Xiao Hang smiled, "Seeing you this time, you don't seem to have much energy. You're getting tired easily."
"Maybe it's spring fatigue!"
Spring fatigue?
Was there even such a thing as spring anymore?
An Nuan took a sip of honey water and slept comfortably in the tent.
Her father's radar base had arranged for people to set up traps. Their efficiency was high, and they soon finished installing peony bombs along the third ring road, with the chrysanthemum terrace positions also fixed.
A group of survivors was displeased.
"Why are you installing things on our territory? What if we get hurt?"
"Exactly! Finding a place to live is already hard enough, and now we have to get involved in their war? Why should we?"
The short man grumbled curses,
"They brought this trouble upon themselves, causing us to be dragged into the war, and now they want to use us as cannon fodder? That's ridiculous!"
"They never thought of us when things were good, but when there's trouble, we're all family. It's hilarious."
The middle-aged woman also said, "We didn't agree to join them in fighting, and now they want to use us as expendables. Isn't that a coercive clause? I'm going to show them a thing or two. Who's willing to go with me?"
Several youngsters and non-conformists stepped forward.
"Since we're going to be involved anyway, it's better to die together than let them have an easy time!"
"That's right. Why should we fight just because they tell us to? I refuse! Sister Wang, I'll follow you. Tell me what to do!"
Wang Tian sneered, "I'll bewitch them, make them turn on each other, and blow up their own equipment. Let's see what they do then!"
"Alright, let's go! If we die, we die together! Let's kill them all!"
Wang Tian led over twenty people towards the destination with great fervor.
Along the way, they recruited many hot-headed fools.
The group causing trouble grew larger.
Several small teams saw them and curiously asked, "Boss, they seem to be going to cause trouble. Should we watch or..."
"Watch? What a joke! Even Hao Yunfeng from the radar base has come out. He's from a proper military background. These people are dreaming!"
"Ignore them. Tomorrow, we'll go and join Da Xiong. We didn't get to eat meat before, but we can at least have some soup later."
The others extinguished their torches, pretended not to see, and let the group of idiots march towards Hao Yunfeng.
Wang Tian, with her fifth-tier mental power control, used her bewitching abilities with ease.
She reached the hundred-meter wall and was about to direct her people to climb it when a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
Wang Tian turned, "I know an easier way to wipe them out. Follow me."
The hot-headed fools who were already worked up didn't doubt her and followed their "leader" out of the city gate.
As soon as over three hundred people left, the ancient city gate behind them closed.
Heavy earth walls and steel plates sealed off their retreat.
"Where's our way back?"
"You have no way back."
Chen Wenjing stood above the city wall and said slowly, "You have nowhere to go, no ability to resist, and you're very sleepy. You're about to fall asleep."
"I'm so sleepy... so sleepy..."
Hundreds of people fell one after another.
In less than a minute, they were all fast asleep like logs.
Nan Menying immediately activated the Nightmare.
In their sleep, everyone's faces contorted ferociously, and they kept shouting.
Some begged their loved ones to spare them and not seek revenge.
Some released their pent-up energy in their dreams, their bodies thrusting upward.
A spectacle of ugliness!
Nan Menying asked, "Wen Jing, do I need to scare them to death in their dreams?"
"No need. Total Chief said we should try not to get blood on our hands. Someone else will take care of the rest."
"Do we need to wait for the allied forces to arrive?"
"No need for that long!"
Chang Kai Tong pointed towards the dense forest, "Do you hear that? Don't you remember what kind of creatures rule the night?"
Zombies!
The zombies outside the city were drawn out by their mumbled words.
There were also some carnivorous plants and mutated creatures that only appeared at night, all emerging from the woods.
The mountains and forests were a peculiar place, not only providing shelter for humans but also for various creatures.
"Meat! So much meat!"
"Mine, mine, mine! It's all mine!"
The zombies rushed forward and began to bite.
Even though the people in the nightmare felt pain, they couldn't break free from the nightmare's influence.
Everyone experienced immense suffering in their dreams.
The mutated creatures were also quite ferocious when they fed, while the carnivorous plants were slightly better, engulfing their prey whole.
At least nothing went to waste.
Hao Yunfeng was considered well-traveled and experienced.
Seeing this scene, he still felt a chill.
He saw that Chen Wenjing and Chang Kai Tong showed no unusual reactions and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you reacting?"
Chen Wenjing found it strange, "Why should we react to killing enemies? These people had malicious intentions; they deserve to die!"
"Deserving to die is one thing, but isn't it better to die instantly? Isn't this a bit cruel?"
Chang Kai Tong nodded, "Letting them die in their dreams is already merciful. If we let Young Master Fu handle it, it would be ten thousand times more painful than this!"
Hao Yunfeng felt a bit uneasy.
This Young Master Fu must be a cruel and wicked individual!
