Chapter 488 - Fight! The Real Monster Civilization! (1/2)

Hidden in a col surrounded by dense trees more than forty kilometers to the east of Dragon City was a wolframite mine. Among all the mines Dragon Citizens had discovered, it had the highest number of ores, and they were of the highest quality.

Wolframite alloy was an important raw material necessary to create armor-piercing shells.

And in an environment where sophisticated electronic equipment suffered from high failure rate and there were no satellite networks beyond the ozone layer to provide navigation, armor-piercing shells became the most important spear of humanity’s steel army. It could even be said to be their only spear.

In the past, due to a lack of large quantities of wolframite ore, the humans were not able to produce a lot of armor-piercing shells.

In the face of the fierce monster hordes, they either had to use normal bullets to launch attacks that would not harm them or use incredibly valuable super-alloy to create cold weapons and use their blood and courage to make up for the lack of ammunition.

The super large wolframite mine could turn things completely around and allow the steel army to show it’s true might.

Hence, even though the path between the mine and Dragon City was filled with uneven and winding mountain paths, which made it incredibly difficult for Dragon Citizens to send supplies, they still insisted on investing a lot of resources to set up a modern base that was a combination of a mining site, smelting site, and production plant.

At that moment, the lonesome base faced its greatest challenge.

In the beginning, only one Demonic Halberd Pig had calmly walked out of the fog and stood on a rock with its wide, red-rimmed eyes while staring at the human base.

Then, the ground trembled. The fog was torn apart, and squirming shadows crawled out of the cracks underground like dark clouds. They gathered together to form a black wave that swept toward the lonesome human industrial base.

Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, Unihorn Raging Fangs… All sorts of monsters with the greatest charging power formed cavalry units, and as they thundered against the ground, they became faster and faster. They formed an arrow that could break any armor.

Behind the cavalry were demonic shadows that were as big as mountains.

They were five Tyrant Mammoths. They activated Rampaging War Song at the same time, and their bloodthirsty spirit energy magnetic waves overlapped with each other before descending on the monsters’ heads, which turned the normal monsters like Demonic Halberd Pigs into killing machines that brought fear to people.

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!

The automatic battle fortresses around the human base released burning flames.

Hundreds of fire pillars shot forward like burning, spike-covered whips. They surrounded and tore through the dozens of Demonic Halberd Pigs at the frontmost row.

The remaining monsters became even more frenzied and bold. The monster horde used numbers to overrun the battle fortresses.

Among deafening explosions, dozens of battle fortresses turned into terrifying fireballs.

They could do nothing to defend the base, so the people in the base chose to activate the self-destruct system from a remote distance, so the impact waves and flames that were thousands of degrees Celsius would cover the death zone in corpses and blood.

But that only won them a few minutes of time.

Soon, the Red Dragon Army soldiers and superhumans stationed in the industrial base were forced to cock their guns, draw their weapons, activate their spirit energy, burn their wills, and face the monsters’ fangs and howls!

The swamp area more than fifty kilometers away to the south of Dragon City was filled with jungles and miasma, so humans had never focused their attention on conquering the place.

But half a year ago, an exploration team accidentally discovered a large Brilliant Light Stone mine, and soon, a few mega corporations invested in the place.

Brilliant Light Stones were not crystals suited for cultivation, but they could release powerful electricity at a steady pace.

Dragon City had always faced a shortage of electricity. Otherwise, it would not have stuck solar panels all over the walls of the buildings in the city.

Even so, it still experienced power outages once every few days.

It was not a major problem if the residential apartments suffered from power outages, but if they were invaded during a power outage, the railguns, high voltage grids, and super high-power searchlights would be rendered useless and spell everyone’s death.

And in the major development Dragon City planned for the next five years, it wanted to expand the city area by at least twice the city’s original size.

It also wanted to build more than ten brand new heavy industrial bases.

The deficit in electricity reached a stunning figure, and it became the most fatal problem that limited the development of Dragon City.

The Brilliant Light Stone could effectively solve the problem of Dragon City’s electricity deficiency.

It, then, became a tactical stronghold that they had to defend at all costs.

But now, countless rats, venomous snakes, and lizards crawled out of the swamps and jungles next to the Brilliant Light Stone mine.

As the saying went, evil lurked together.

An endless rat horde and a group of snakes from the swamp stretched out like a rolling carpet. They intersected and squirmed, hissed, as well as slithered forward, becoming the worst nightmare for the defenders.

The rat horde and snake horde came in waves.

There were a few herbivorous monsters in their paths, but before they could flee, they were drowned out by the monster horde. In an instant, they were reduced to skeletons.

This scene caused the defenders to feel chills down their spines.

They could only use their fastest speed to throw all their napalm bombs at the enemy.

The bombs were filled with napalm, which should have made it the best weapon to handle pests.
