The Sandbar Island had already been built into a comprehensive strategic fortress group. Between each fortress that stood tens of meters tall were densely packed trenches and triangular steel spikes. Each steel spike was equipped with a capsule shaped poison sac. These poison sacs would split open when needed, and spread the poison evenly on the steel spikes to maintain the peak killing power. Each steel spike was taller than an adult, and the countless steel spikes were densely packed like a deep jungle.
Most of the fortresses were densely packed with steel spikes, but they were not isolated. There were suspended bridges that connected the fortresses together. Once there was an alarm, they would receive support from all directions. Compared to the terrifying steel spikes, the multi-sided fortress was a silent killer. Every fortress had a quadruple 15.4mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and each anti-aircraft machine gun could easily seal off an area of a few hundred meters. The gun barrel had been coated with the Pearl Tear Coating, which would reduce wear and high temperatures to the lowest. As long as there were enough bullets, each anti-aircraft machine gun was an undying fire dragon, and according to the depth of the Sandbar Island, it was unknown how many of these fire dragons there were.
In addition to the quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the fort, each of the multi-sided fort had a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, a recoilless cannon, and two rocket launchers. According to the height of the fort, there was one every three meters. Each side of the fort had six firing ports, and the six sides added up to a total of thirty-six firing ports. Once activated, it would be a Soul Reaper that could take a person's life.
The fortresses were not the main defensive force of the Sandbar Island. At the back of the island, there were cannons and boxes of ammunition piled up like mountains. There were also countless small fortresses that were connected together. These fortresses were all garrisoned by the strongest Evolvers, and if a mutant beast approached, they would immediately attack.
The Sandbar Island was located at the edge of Zhenjiang, and it used to be a place where zombies crossed the river. However, the zombies had long disappeared. The Z-Types had been killed, and the high-level zombies had been absorbed. The remaining zombies were scattered across tens of thousands of square kilometers, and did not form a never-ending sea of zombies. Therefore, the defense system of the Sandbar Island was not independent. On both sides of the Sandbar Island, there were newly constructed forts. These crude forts contained all the cannons that could be found in Hubei. Regardless of whether it was the self-propelled artillery of the active army, or the towed artillery that had been sealed for reserve use, they could all be seen. Hundreds of cannons and machine guns formed a three-in-one defense.
However, these defenses could not compare to the 300m long monster in the river. This monster was no different from a Jiao Dragon, and it had a terrifying aura that made people feel stifled. People who were familiar with it would not be able to tell which part of it resembled a snake.
Other than the lack of four claws and long whiskers, it looked exactly like the single-horned Jiao Dragon depicted in ancient paintings. The half-moon shaped horn gave off a baleful aura, and the metallic scales on its body shone with a dark silver luster. The scales were as big as the mouth of a bowl, and the layers of scales seemed to emit a slight chill. Even in early spring, most people would not be able to stay close to a water snake. Even if they were wearing down jackets, they would be frozen to the point of freezing.
At this moment, the water snake was entrenched in the open space at the forefront of the island, and it was breathing white mist towards the sun that was hidden behind the dark clouds. The white mist went in and out of the water snake's mouth, as if it was an old smoker puffing out mist. This layer of white mist was extremely powerful, and when it came into contact with the rolling river water, it would condense the river water into ice crystals. When the river water surged, these ice crystals would be swept into the bottom of the river, and then floated up again tens of meters away. Looking at it from afar, one could see an endless chain of ice crystals floating in the middle of the river, but the river water could not melt this ice crystal.
The water snake occupied the thousands of square meters of open space, and the white frost dyed the ground an orchid color. It was as gorgeous as a country of crystals. Among the countless ice arrowheads, there were countless bones and leather scattered among them. Most of them were the remains of mutated beasts, but there was no lack of the bones of high-level zombies. After a while, the water snake stopped puffing out mist, and its huge body slid into the water.
After the water snake entered the water, evolvers wearing thick winter clothes came over one after another. They took big shovels and steel rods to collect the frozen bones and leather on the ground, and carried them to the rear. The most important part was the colloid, which was placed in a metal incubator. After they cleaned up all the remains, the river water suddenly surged violently, and countless mutated beasts that were tens of meters long rose from the water, and were swallowed by the huge suction force.
After a quarter of an hour, a level three mutated beast that was more than 100 meters long emerged from the water with its mouth. It was a huge jellyfish in its mouth. The translucent blue jellyfish had hundreds of tentacles. After the head of the jellyfish was bitten by the sea snake, hundreds of tentacles lashed on the scales of the water snake like whips. Each tentacle was like a firecracker exploding, making a loud and clear sound. However, the scales of the water snake were not affected at all. It just kept pulling the head of the jellyfish. Soon, the jellyfish that was as tight as a rubber band lost its strength and became soft like a pile of snot.
The body of the jellyfish, which looked like snot, did not suit the taste of the water snake. After biting the jellyfish to death, the water snake only ate a few crystals of the jellyfish, and then turned back into the water, setting off a huge wave. At this time, evolvers rushed over, waving the sharp beak in their hands, trying to dismember the jellyfish. However, the transparent skin of the jellyfish was extremely tough, and the hundreds of evolvers could not break it, so they could only drag the tentacles back like ants moving house.
At this time, countless small black dots suddenly appeared on the surface of the river. Each dot was a meter long flat water beetle, and they looked like lice. Seeing these creatures that looked like lice, the evolvers were shocked, and they shouted, "The sea lice are coming, the sea lice are coming, run..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the roar of cannons came from afar, and the whistling shells fell like raindrops on the water surface, creating a water column that was dozens of meters high. Countless sea lice rolled and scattered in the water column, and the impact of the explosion caused the surface of the water to surge. The surging waves created huge waves under the water column, and the sea lice, which looked like they were carved from crystals, shot towards the island like javelins. Just when they were in a state of panic and despair, a huge single-horned snake suddenly came out of the water and spat out an icy mist into the air. The white mist covered the black clouds, and the sea lice, which looked like they were carved out of crystal, fell to the ground and shattered.
A few of the sea lice escaped the icy mist and landed in the midst of the evolvers. Before they could move, they were smashed into meat patties. Even after they retreated into the nearest fort, they still had not recovered from their fear. The evolvers on the island had the most casualties in the whole of China's renaissance. They were also the evolvers who were only second to the Dragon Guards. They killed the mutated beasts here, and they could enjoy the best protective clothing and weapons made from the materials of the mutated beasts. However, they also faced the danger of losing their lives at any time. The large mutated beasts had water snakes and anti-aircraft guns, so they were not dangerous at the moment. Instead, it was the small mutated beasts that were more than a meter long, but they were extremely fast. Even though they were not of a high level, they were still not something that ordinary evolvers could deal with.
The moment they entered the fort, countless sea lice emerged from the water. In the water, the water snakes' icy mist did not have much of an effect, not to mention that there were other mutated beasts under the water. The sea lice came ashore like countless leaping locusts, rushing towards the depths of the island. Every sea lice could roll up an afterimage, and their speed was even faster than the agility evolvers.
Countless fireballs exploded in the midst of the sea lice, and more than a dozen forts shot out hundreds of tongues of flame. The light from the meteor shower chiseled countless earth pillars from the ground, and every second, there were hundreds of thousands of sea lice being pierced through. Being pierced did not mean that they were killed. As long as these extremely long-lived sea lice did not die, they would continue to advance, and very quickly, they came into contact with the countless trenches filled with steel spikes. Most of the sea lice rushed into the trenches, while the rest shuttled back and forth between the steel spikes. Once these extremely fast little things were caught by the steel spikes, they would be pierced through. Not long after, thousands of steel spikes were filled with sea lice that were still struggling for their lives.
Suddenly, the large capsules hanging on the steel thorns exploded, and the blue dust had a bewitching beauty. It covered a large number of sea lice, and any sea lice that were covered had no chance to rush out of the dust mist. The rest of the sea lice were mostly blocked outside the dust mist. At this time, tens of millions of silver threads shot out from the sea lice, blowing away the dust that was blocking the way. Soon, thousands of sea lice approached the redoubt. At this time, hundreds of arcs of lightning flickered on the steel thorns, like countless dancing electric snakes. All the sea lice that were caught in the electric snakes were turned into charcoal and scattered in the gaps of the steel thorns. All the steel thorns were coated with Pearl Tears to prevent them from melting due to the high temperature, and with the electricity provided by the Sun Bamboo, this place was impregnable. Soon, all the sea lice that came ashore were killed, and only a few hundred sea lice were still jumping around. This was the time for the evolvers to move out.
It was time for the evolvers to move out. A male evolver with medium long hair wearing a major's uniform charged into the sea lice. Before the sea lice could pounce on him, countless metal bullets flew around him. Each of these bullets could travel hundreds of meters without losing any power. Ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate the sea lice's heads, and in a few blinks of an eye, hundreds of sea lice were killed by him alone. A beautiful woman covered in leather armor followed closely behind him. She shouted, "Ai Qingshan, you're doing this again. Don't you have any team spirit at all?"
This woman was Ai Xueqi. She was already nineteen years old, and she had grown into a young lady. Her pretty face had lost its childishness, and she was extremely beautiful. There were faint metal threads circling around her, indicating that she also had the ability of an evolver. However, she still liked to make life difficult for Ai Qingshan. Ai Qingshan acted as if he couldn't hear Ai Xueqi's complaints. He ordered the evolvers behind him, "Send them to the back. The big ones will be steamed with wine, and the small ones will be turned into cans and sold to the black market for money …"
After that, he said to Ai Xueqi seriously, "I don't mean to say this, but your ability is really not good enough. Those thin wires can't even penetrate the hymen, and you want to kill sea monsters …"
"Ai Qingshan, do you want to die? How can you talk to your sister like this …" Ai Qingshan's words made all the male evolvers wink at him, and Ai Xueqi was extremely shy. She was like a kitten that had eaten chili peppers, and the wires around her were like countless swords stabbing at Ai Qingshan's head. Ai Qingshan, who was already a top evolver, was naturally not afraid of them. The spinning bullets around him blocked every wire, and sparks flew when they collided with each other. From time to time, the twisted wires would fall to the ground. Ai Qingshan was still talking flirtatiously, "In all honesty, I've always treated you as my little brother. It seems that only Xuexue is a gentle little sister …"
"Captain, look, the frigate is here … Is it here to pick up Xue Feng?
Does that mean we can go to the back to rest? "
An evolver suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone was excited. They were here to fight against the sea race day and night, and their real mission was to watch over Xue Feng. After all, they were all real evolvers, and they were not like Jian Zhan, who had accidentally leveled up. They had been looking forward to leaving this Sandzhou Island and going to the big city to have fun for a long time. Ai Qingshan looked at the frigate and said with a lack of interest, "That won't do. I owe Xueqi one million Evolution Substance, 1.8 million Fairy Mist Silver Tea for her and Xuexue, 700,000 for level 5 mutated beast meat, and two million for Xuexue and Xueqi's leather armor. For the two girls, I owe 5.5 million in total, as well as their dowry, pocket money, and milk powder money … God, why do I have two little sisters …"
"Pfft … What are you talking about? I won't get married, and I don't want you to save up any dowry, milk powder money, or pocket money …" Ai Xueqi blushed at Ai Qingshan's almost numb mumbling, but her eyes were fixed on the evolvers who were cleaning the sea lice. These were all things that Ai Qingshan was going to exchange for revival coins, so she had to keep a close eye on them. If she didn't return the money soon, Ai Qingshan would still rush to the front. If something happened, how could she and Ai Xuexue survive?
