In the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion, around a large conference table,
All Legion Commanders and logistics personnel currently within the Starfire City-state have gathered here.
Chen Luo sat at the head of the table, his expression grave as he looked at the projection on the wall.
This was modern electronic equipment added after the city-state's upgrade.
The major event that Su Xiao had rushed into the City Lord's Mansion to report was:
She had discovered that after this town upgrade, the electromagnetic wave impact caused by the previous nuclear explosion had completely disappeared.
Therefore, the Starfire City-state had re-established contact with the outside world.
Beside the projection device, Su Xiao operated a laptop,
The screen displayed events that had transpired across the Great Yan and the world over the past half-month.
"The Doomsday Game suddenly descended, granting humans the abilities of professionals, but the monsters are too powerful. How should humanity respond?"
On the screen, a foreigner from a certain beautiful country was live-streaming events on the street on his YouTube channel, holding a purchased firearm.
On the first day of the doomsday, people hadn't fully grasped what was happening.
People online were merely marveling at the sudden appearance of the game, but what truly allowed the world to witness the horror was the series of monster invasion events that followed!
The foreigner on screen was excitedly live-streaming on the street, but in the next moment, a massive dark shadow streaked past, and after a jolt, the screen abruptly turned black.
Su Xiao glanced at the serious expression of Chen Luo before continuing to click on the computer, making the images change rapidly.
A giant image of the Blue Star appeared on the projection, and the originally azure planet was suddenly covered in countless red dots.
"Globally, after the first day of the doomsday, all cities where humans gathered were invaded by monsters!"
The red dots continuously enlarged and flashed, representing cities engulfed in flames.
Humans of different skin colors and races now wore only a common expression: fear.
"After the first day, approximately ninety percent of humanity perished worldwide!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's mood turned somber.
Although they had some psychological preparation after hearing the system's settlement, seeing the satellite images that Su Xiao had accessed using military clearance on the projection still sent shivers down their spines.
The red dots on the Blue Star projection began to rapidly decrease.
This was the mark of cities that had been completely wiped out.
A moment later, only a few prominent bright spots remained on the entire Blue Star projection.
"Initially, I was puzzled why only ninety percent of the world's population perished on the first day."
As Su Xiao spoke, those beside her cast confused and questioning glances.
Su Xiao ignored them and continued,
"Taking our Donghai City as an example, if the City Lord had not appeared, there wouldn't have been even a hundred thousand survivors in this city."
"And when facing the monsters constantly appearing within the city, modern firepower is actually difficult to be effective, because compared to powerful monsters, fragile humans can be easily killed even by a stray bullet."
Saying this, and seeing that everyone was appearing thoughtful,
Su Xiao continued,
"In fact, monsters did not directly appear in the capital cities of various countries."
"Moreover, these capital cities completely acted as an integrated, super-giant safe zone."
The projection screen kept changing, and cities protected by colossal energy shields appeared on the screen.
It wasn't until the first night that monsters began to spawn outside these cities.
And with the preparation time during the day, some of the countries had already established certain defensive fortifications outside their capitals.
Modern firepower was terrifyingly powerful, and under its might, most monsters on the first night were torn apart by the steel torrent without being able to resist.
Only when some monsters that were clearly elite or even lord-class appeared did they barely cause trouble for the troops.
But the sheer number and agility of the monsters were overwhelming.
Under the relentless onslaught of monsters, humanity could only confine themselves within a few major cities.
The situations in some countries were also quite peculiar.
The capital of Inazuma was breached by large monsters with horns.
Among the battles in various countries, the undead encountered by Great Yan were the most troublesome.
Although regions outside the capitals of various countries, except for cities near military bases, were completely annihilated on the first night,
Great Yan faced particularly prominent pressure, as if it were being deliberately targeted.
"In fact, most of the surviving human population is concentrated in the capitals of the few remaining major countries."
"And the few surviving major countries are currently facing the threat of 'Invasion Races.' Among them, Great Yan faces the Undead."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo nodded slightly.
It was the same in Donghai City. In fact, besides Night Wolves, other monsters had appeared during the day on the first day.
However, from the second day onwards, the entire Donghai City seemed to have been purged, leaving only Undead monsters.
The Undead were clearly a special type of monster with high social organization.
After Su Xiao finished introducing the general situation of the world, she continued with a serious expression,
"Most of this intelligence is from the internal network. From the current perspective, if a country's capital is breached, all levels of monsters will be completely unrestrained and can actively attack humans at will."
Chen Luo understood Su Xiao's meaning. In fact, the monsters that humans currently encountered that actively attacked strongholds were only elite and lord-class.
While Chen Luo had the ability to deal with monsters above the lord-class, it didn't mean that these surviving major cities were qualified to face them.
Currently, on the land of Great Yan, besides the capital, there were several cities near military zones struggling to survive.
If the capital were to be destroyed by monsters, these cities, under the attack of monsters above the lord-class, would not be able to hold on.
Then, Great Yan would be effectively declared extinct.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo's expression became extremely serious. He did not want the more than 100,000 people under his command to become the last survivors of Great Yan.
Sensing Chen Luo's seriousness, Su Xiao said,
"Our Great Yan capital faces the Undead race. Everyone has fought against the Undead and knows how poorly they match modern artillery."
"No matter how much the troops bombard them, these monsters, blown to pieces, can revive again and again."
"If monsters above the lord-class were not restricted from acting, our capital would have been captured long ago!"
On the projection, scenes of brutal battles unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Although modern firepower could harvest monsters, it could not gain experience points.
Therefore, these soldiers whose levels had not increased could only fight with their bare hands against skeletons that broke through the front lines.
Chen Luo slowly closed his eyes. He finally understood where the Great Yan soldiers he had seen in the soul vortex came from.
A group of level 0 ordinary people facing skeletal monsters of at least level 7...
Seeing that Chen Luo's emotions were not quite right, Su Xiao pondered for a moment before continuing,
"The Doomsday Game gave humanity a fifteen-day deadline, meaning starting tomorrow, Nightmare-class monsters can also enter the fray."
"Based on our previous combat experience, the Nightmare-class monsters in the Undead Legion are no match for the Imperial Capital at this time!"
"Without external support, by tomorrow, the Imperial Capital will become hell!"
"Therefore, Commander!"
Chen Luo's eyes snapped open, and fire burned in his black pupils:
"Su Xiao, you don't need to say more."
"I owe those soldiers a life, and it's time to repay them."
"Let's go, everyone follow me, and let these damn invaders know!"
"Dare to invade my Great Yan, then leave your lives behind!"
