Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Zhou Liu was a little confused now and his scalp was numb.

This was the first time she encountered an invasion from the shadow world. Although she had heard about it before, she had never experienced it personally.

There was no on-site dispatch.

Only when I started to deal with it did I realize the lack of manpower and scarce supplies, as well as my insufficient experience.

It is another thing to apply the knowledge learned in school to practice, because in reality there are no such standard questions and answers for people to match.

Chang Yesi alone cannot solve the overflow of the shadow world this time. It is still only an overflow and has not yet completely entered the intrusion stage.

Generally speaking, disasters in the shadow world are divided into four stages: 1. Overflow; 2. Invasion; 3. Assimilation; 4. Subsidence.

Once you enter the third stage, you are destined to be unable to stop, so you must deal with it in the first two stages.

But how to deal with it?

Every time the shadow world appears, it is unclear what its internal situation is and what kind of world it is connected to. Entering hastily will only lose manpower.

Zhou Liu has used all available connections and recruited all the people he can.

Even so, it still couldn't control its spread, nearly doubling its area in just one day.

Within one day, the proportion of casualties reached 10%. Although applications for foreign aid have been sent out and reinforcements have been sent from nearby cities, they are still stretched thin.

Zhou Liu had not slept for thirty-six hours. She was suffering from mental exhaustion because she was not capable enough. This was just stalling for time and pretending.

She needs a more precise way of dealing with it, and it is best to have the final say.

This also means that it is necessary to enter the interior of this shadow world and cut it off from the inside.

This method is the most efficient and requires the least sacrifice, but what makes Zhou Liu deeply helpless is that this trick cannot be used.

It's not that there are no masters of the third level of Transcendence in Nanling City. There are about ten of them, and there are six or seven people who come to help.

This is the best we can do.

She couldn't ask the other party to risk his life and enter the shadow world to seal him off. She couldn't open her mouth because the other party was not her subordinate.

Moreover, if it is not a well-trained team and there is no strong enough leader in the shadow world, it will inevitably split from the inside and become independent, then it is better to stay on the outside.

Normally, this kind of situation requires concentration of strength to deal with the problem, but Zhou Liu herself is only the second level of extraordinary... She has been in this position for too short a time, and her charisma, leadership and strength are obviously insufficient.

Being able to defend well now is the limit.

If you want to counterattack, you can only wait for support from the province.

Extraordinary people can also be regarded as one of the talents, and since they are talents, they will inevitably flow to areas with richer resources. This will inevitably lead to the local area being unable to retain people and insufficient defense force in case of emergencies. Therefore, after seven years, Nanling The mayor of the city, Yesi, still cannot recover to what he was seven years ago because he cannot retain people.

Zhou Liu smiled bitterly. He thought that he had done well and became more and more handy in the past few years, but after encountering a disaster like the invasion of the shadow world, he realized how incompetent and powerless he was.

She regretted that she was too focused on official duties and neglected her own cultivation. Before graduation, the instructor said that she was expected to reach the third level in five years, but now she is afraid that it will be difficult in ten years.

Its expansion speed is too fast, and it is different from the ordinary shadow world. There are too many monsters in it. When the first monster comes out of the shadow world, it has already entered the invasion stage.

Next comes the assimilation stage.

There was a knock on the door from the doorman.

"Come in." Zhou Liu put away all her expressions. She knew very well how important it was for her to be calm at this time.

The person who walked in was none other than a slim girl. Mu Yaoxi was not tall, only 1.6 meters tall. She looked like she was underage.

She looked around the room. In the center of the temporarily requisitioned room were maps and various communication tools. There was only one chair and no bed.

"Excuse me." Mu Yaoxi's eyes fell on Zhou Liu again, and her evaluation of her was higher than before.

Although there is a lack of experience, I am not slacking off at all. Do I still plan to persevere? Nanling is a small place after all, and it cannot afford to be consumed for too long.

"How long will it take for support to arrive?" Mu Yaoxi directly asked the key question: "Is there any news?"

Zhou Liu replied: "The answer given so far is three days later."

"It's too late! Didn't you explain the situation again?"

"I've said it before, but the reply hasn't changed." Zhou Liu couldn't help but clenched his fists: "Maybe it's because we really can't find any manpower."

"This place is only a little over a hundred miles away from the provincial capital. It takes three days to mobilize manpower?" Mu Yaoxi sneered: "This is too ridiculous."

Zhou Liu looked at Mu Yaoxi silently. She had naturally heard of the other party's name, otherwise she would not have let a girl speak like this in front of her.

But in fact, Mu Yaoxi really has this qualification. She has closed the shadow world twice with her own hands, and has participated in several Shenwusi operations... When she was less than sixteen years old, she had already done so more than seven times. attack experience.

Mu Yaoxi was not stupid. She saw it very clearly. Her eyes fell on Zhou Liu's shoulder and she said thoughtfully: "It seems that this involves an internal power struggle again, right?"

She walked around the room: "Although I don't know much about this area, wherever there are people, there is a struggle for power. As the leader of Nanling Mayor Yesi, you are so young, and you have been doing it for so many years. It's still stable, and I guess there is a backer behind it, but this time the matter is too big, if there is an accident and the situation worsens, you may have to 'go on and practice for a few more years.'"

"You see clearly."

"I don't want to see so clearly. It's as disgusting as watching a group of bugs walking through rotten food." Mu Yaoxi's voice was cold. Normal people would be disgusted by this. As a bystander, she was naturally rational and sober. : "No matter how you say it, it's crossed the line."

"Is there anything you can do?"

"This is not the capital. I can call people from the Shenwu Division for help, but that's all." Mu Yaoxi looked at the expanding black area on the map: "After all, my ability to call on people is limited. If I use personal relationships, I can Call the masters from Shenwu Division or Wusheng Pavilion, but..."

Zhou Liu raised his eyes: "But what?"

Mu Yaoxi said bluntly: "I have no reason to do this."

Zhou Liu's serious expression became much softer: "Don't sound like you are a villain, you have helped a lot in the past few days... Without your coordination and obstruction, a lot of losses would have been lost. Man, this is enough. If we all rely on you, an outsider, what else do we, the night watchmen, need to do? You and I should each perform our duties."

Mu Yaoxi crossed her arms: "It's a good thing that you can figure it out, but it also means that you can't do anything about the current situation - have you ever considered lowering your head?"

Zhou Liu straightened his back: "I'm not afraid of offending anyone... I'm just afraid of being ashamed and being taken away by God!"

"You can be stubborn, but others can't." Mu Yaoxi turned away and said in more serious words: "But people here can't stick to it for three days, and the other party may not arrive in three days! If you delay How about five days, six days, or a week? After that, it’s also a matter of whether they will continue to delay their efforts. Since they want to see you collapse, there are naturally a hundred ways... You must not put your hope on these well-dressed beasts who only know how to fight in officialdom! "

The official culture of Daxia can be said to have a long history.

Seven years ago, after the Chang Yesi Incident, only two brothers were left in the Ruan family, and the huge industry was divided... Even though the Zhuang brothers were gone, the results did not change much. It can be seen that the hands and eyes are like an immortal fishing.

"It can only be said that Nanling City is a small place after all." Mu Yaoxi paused for two seconds when she said this, then shook her head and changed her words: "But who said Chi Qian can't raise a real dragon?"

She said calmly: "It's a pity. If it takes two or three years, this kind of trivial matter can be easily solved by just one person. You are unlucky because the time is wrong."

Zhou Liu also knew who Mu Yaoxi was referring to.

I couldn't help but feel curious. Although I already knew that young man, I still wondered why she spoke so highly of him.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a shout, and someone from outside the door broke in: "The shadow world has expanded! This time the scope is larger, hurry up!"

"What, the second expansion?!" Mu Yaoxi also changed her expression: "Isn't the danger level reaching level seven!"

She rushed out immediately: "I will summon everyone from the Shenwu Division, you are responsible..."

Before he finished speaking, the color of the earth under his feet suddenly darkened, and the dark color instantly covered everything.

Mu Yaoxi stopped.

"Damn it...I can't get out now."

Once you fall into the shadow world, there is no way out!
