I have a city in another world

Chapter 7046 Citywide Defense
While the outer city was in chaos, the inner city was equally heavily guarded, with fully armed soldiers standing on the high walls.

All kinds of weapons are ready for combat and can be fired at any time.

On the inner city walls, there are thirty-two attack towers, each containing a large-caliber defensive machine gun with a rate of fire of up to 30,000 rounds.

Once locked onto by this weapon, even a heavy tank will instantly become a sieve, and flesh and blood will be unable to withstand it.

It is no exaggeration to say that even a ninth-level cultivator would not be able to withstand the destructive effect of this defensive weapon.

However, as cultivators, they always have various defensive measures and cannot simply stand still and wait to die.

Even so, such defensive weapons still have a great deterrent effect, making even extraordinary cultivators dare not provoke them easily.

Not to mention, on the city walls, there are fully armed warriors, powerful extraordinary cultivators, and specially modified mutants.

Although all the major settlements have declared that mutants are not welcome in the city, it does not mean that they will give up this path to becoming stronger.

Almost every settlement has a dedicated research team that studies how to safely and harmlessly cultivate mutants.

Through continuous screening experiments, safer and more controllable combinations were selected to create mutant warriors whose emotions and states were under control.

If such an experiment succeeds, it can rapidly enhance one's own strength and establish a special army composed of mutants.

Among the leaders of various gathering places, there are certainly many who harbor ambitions to subdue all forces and become the overlords of the new world in the future.

Even without ambition for domination, one must have sufficient trump cards to deal with the treacherous wasteland environment.

Deformed monsters, demonic monks, mutated madmen, and allies whose faces you can only see, not their hearts.

Either way, they are all deadly threats.

Building a heavily fortified fortress to prevent any danger from entering the city is a common understanding among the leaders of various settlements.

The purpose of building the outer city was merely to gather a large number of servants to serve as a buffer zone in case of danger.

For example, at this moment, fires raged and gunfire echoed throughout the outer city, while the inner city was minimally affected.

The strange birds flying in the air were killed as they approached the inner city, and the energy-consuming laser towers started operating, forming a deadly air defense network.

The precise and rapid attacks continuously shot down the strange birds, preventing them from entering the inner city.

Even if they enter the inner city, they won't cause much damage and will be shot down quickly.

The filth thrown into the city will be treated promptly and effectively, and will not cause pollution to spread.

As long as the outer city walls are not breached, the important figures in the inner city will not be affected. They can simply sit in the conference hall and watch the battle remotely through screens.

The important figures in the inner city didn't care about the damage to the outer city at all; it didn't matter if it was destroyed, they could just rebuild it.

If necessary, they will destroy the outer city themselves, turning it into a graveyard for their enemies, without even needing the enemy to sabotage it.

In addition to the enemies who infiltrated the inner city, enemies also appeared outside the city, launching wave after wave of attacks.

Dozens of kilometers away, there are a large number of mutated monsters that will arrive in at most an hour.

A fierce battle is now inevitable.

As the broadcasts continued, the expressions of the residents outside the city grew increasingly serious. They began to reinforce their doors and retrieve various weapons and equipment, preparing to face the impending monster onslaught.

Although the settlement promised to do everything in its power to stop the monsters and ensure the safety of the outer city residents.

But everyone knows that such a promise is the least reliable. As long as the safety of the inner city is not affected, those big shots can simply stand by and do nothing.

"Bang bang bang!"

Tang Zhen heard knocking on the door and someone shouting loudly. Judging from the voices, it turned out to be several neighbors from nearby.

Under normal circumstances, one would close the doors and ignore everyone at this point. Tang Zhen, however, didn't care and opened the front gate, only to see a group of men and women carrying knives and guns.

"Boss Tang, do you have any good weapons or equipment? We'll all come and make a sale for you!"

The man speaking was a butcher from a nearby meat shop. He was wearing armor, had a long knife at his waist, and was carrying a double-barreled shotgun.

Other neighbors and their family members were also fully armed.

However, many people only have simple weapons, which will definitely put them at a disadvantage when fighting monsters.

Tang Zhen's shop, which sells weapons and equipment, came in handy at this moment.

Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Tang Zhen smiled and opened the door, gesturing for them to join him.

"Look around, buy as much as you want, all goods are on sale at cost price today."

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, everyone cheered and praised him as a kind and conscientious person.

Other unscrupulous merchants might have raised prices on the spot and committed despicable acts of profiteering during a crisis.

If that's the case, not only will you offend a group of neighbors, but you might even be shot in the back.

In chaotic times, human life is as cheap as grass, especially in such a chaotic environment, one must act entirely according to one's conscience.

Prior to this, Tang Zhen had ordered a batch of weapons and equipment, which he then upgraded and modified before reselling them.

This is more convenient and less labor-intensive, and customers are more welcoming of it. Compared to self-made equipment, officially produced standard weapons are more popular.

Weapons produced in the mountain city settlement are only of average quality and reputation, far inferior to brands from other settlements.

Because of the low price, Tang Zhen bought a batch and carried out some simple processing and upgrades.

Don't underestimate this simple processing; it has significantly improved performance and made operation more comfortable.

Upon seeing that the weapons were locally made, the group was initially somewhat reluctant, but given the critical situation, they could not afford to be picky.

But once they got the hang of it, they all showed expressions of surprise and doubt, and soon they all gave it a thumbs up.

The neighbors were truly impressed by Tang Zhen's skills, never expecting him to be a real master of renovation.

"Since everyone is here, let's stay in my courtyard and build fortifications to defend against enemy attacks."

It's better than being a disorganized mess, only to be picked off one by one by the enemy.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, as they actually shared similar thoughts.

In such a chaotic environment, individual strength is ultimately limited; cooperation is the only way to increase the chances of survival.

Having all experienced calamity, they knew exactly how to save their lives, so they immediately organized and gathered together.

At that moment, broadcasts over the city also came through, urging people in various streets and communities to cooperate in fighting the enemy.

Each district and street in the outer city has an officially recognized person in charge who will cooperate with the authorities in the event of changes or accidents.

However, these officials may not be recognized by the people and do not have much influence in critical moments.

The person in charge of this street is the shop owner who has relatives in the police station. Logically, he should stand up and organize the resistance, but he has disappeared somewhere.

Presumably, he was afraid of death and lacked the courage to take responsibility, so he hid and dared not show his face.

Having acquired weapons and equipment, the group immediately got to work, sealing off the shop doors and searching for suitable firing positions. Many people even climbed ladders onto the roof.

The rooftop offers a wide view, making it an excellent combat position should there be no aerial threats.

Dozens of people worked together to place the supplies and ammunition in place, and then waited quietly.
