Chapter 402 Guarding the Camp
Mu Yi sat in the tavern in the camp, drinking a refreshing drink similar to beer while watching the mission information refreshed in his retina.

Now the battle between the Zerg and the remaining Telival natives continues in an endless cycle from sunrise to sunset.

No one knows when this war will end, but it will continue.

Until the camp had used up the last of its supplies.

Because the rewards for the tasks in the camp were increased, a large number of players from the Internet poured into the camp, allowing Tellivar to temporarily resist the endless attacks of the Zerg.

But this is obviously a temporary solution. The Tellivar camp is well aware that this war cannot be ended in a short period of time.

When all the supplies in the camp are used up, a large number of players will withdraw from the war, and the destruction of the camp will become an inevitable reality.

However, this slow and painful process is a disaster that all living intelligent creatures in Telir must face, as they carry the last spark of civilization in Telir.

Participating in such an epic and magnificent event, Mu Yi felt that the blood energy in his body was faintly burning...

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, a sharp alarm sounded from the Internet, and a red warning message suddenly began to refresh on Mu Yi's retina:

"The current environment has entered a lightly polluted environment, and the degree of pollution will increase as the number of insect swarms increases."

"The current environment has entered a moderately polluted environment, and the degree of pollution will increase as the number of insect swarms increases."

"The camp mission is temporarily locked. Players can choose to guard nodes within the city wall defense area. Successful guarding will earn a lot of rewards."

"Please note that after selecting the task of guarding a joint point, the character cannot be teleported away through the integrated network before guarding for a day."

"Warning: Pollution in this area will cause substantial contamination to the body. Being killed by the swarm will cause the character to suffer additional soul weakness."

"Warning: In areas where insect swarms gather, the pollution aura is strengthened. When directly exposed to the pollution aura, all creatures at level 20 and below will need to undergo a pollution check every hour. If the check fails, they will enter a polluted state."

"In the contaminated state, the character will lose control of their body and mutate into the insect state."

"The character can only return to normal after choosing to forcibly teleport through the comprehensive network or being killed in the polluted state. Choosing to forcibly teleport in the polluted state is regarded as death in the copy, and the character needs to endure double the soul weakness state."

…………

…………

Looking at the warning message refreshing on his retina, Mu Yi fell into deep thought.

"The real test has finally begun?"

At this moment, the originally noisy pub became extremely quiet.

It was as if some invisible dark cloud was covering the area, and most people had solemn expressions on their faces.

A large number of players on the network chose to teleport away. They were not sure they could survive a day in the swarm of insects. What's more, the damage caused by the pollution was a bit too heavy for them, so they wisely chose to leave.

There was also a group of people who planned to take advantage of the camp's defenses. They thought the camp could be defended for at least one day, which was enough for them to get the final benefit.

"Teacher, Mr. Clarey wants you to guard the north wall!" Huang Quan jumped out from the shadows, lowered his head and said to Mu Yi.

"I understand!" Mu Yi sighed lightly.

"The player has accepted the mission: Guarding Telival."

"Mission: Guard the northern wall of Telirval
Mission requirements:

Defend the northern wall of Telirval from being destroyed within 24 hours (Unfinished)
Protect the incinerator reactor from being destroyed within 24 hours (Not Completed)
Mission Reward: The natural contribution reward for killing the swarm during this period will be doubled.

Time remaining to complete the mission: 23 hours and 59 minutes."

……

Mu Yi stood on the northern city wall and looked into the distance. He could see that nearly a hundred kilometers away, a large number of insects were flying towards this side rapidly.

On top of the city wall, in addition to some energy and firepower matrices, there are integrated network teams standing on the city wall according to the distribution of nodes.

These nodes are all powered by incinerators and can resist the pollution of reproductive power to a certain extent.

Just as Mu Yi was estimating the time when the insect swarm would arrive, a little cat-man took the initiative to talk to Mu Yi.

"Hey! Big guy!"

"Can you team up with us?"

Mu Yi looked at the little cat man and his team with some curiosity.

Their team consists of a cat-man shaman, an elven wizard, a gnome ranger, and a dwarf warrior.

There is something lacking in the front row. Although the dwarf warriors look good, they are relatively weak and cannot protect the back row of the team.

This is exactly why they chose Mu Yi. After all, Mu Yi looked like a solid front row in his armor.

"interesting!"

Mu Yi looked at the little cat-man shaman. He saw an extremely strong aura in this little cat-man. It seemed that it was this kind of aura, or luck, that made it find him.

"Sorry, this is the node we are guarding. I saw you were alone, so I spoke to you without any hesitation!"

Seeing that Mu Yi didn't say anything, the elf wizard apologized politely, then picked up the little cat and was about to leave.

"team leader!!!"

The little cat-person was almost crying, her ears were furry and covered with fur of the same color as her fur.

At this moment, he was struggling and being dragged away by the elven wizard.

However, the little cat struggled desperately. She had an inexplicable premonition that the area around Mu Yi was the safest place, while other places were full of dangers.

Looking at Mu Yi getting farther and farther away, the little cat man fell into despair.

Mu Yi smiled. He didn’t need to take any action at the beginning anyway, so he might as well follow the team.

"Interesting little cat!" Mu Yi said to the Elf Mage with a smile, "I really don't have a team. Can I join you temporarily?"

"Welcome to join us!"

The elven wizard was a little surprised, but they did lack front-line warriors, and he also knew how lucky the kitten was, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"Can you briefly introduce yourself? After all, we need to have some understanding of each other to form a team!" the elf wizard asked tentatively.

As a player who has been on the Internet for quite some time, he could vaguely feel that Mu Yi was different.

"Mu Yi, an unknown person! Good at close combat!" Mu Yi gave a brief introduction.

"Captain, just let Mu Yi and I cooperate! Let Ike concentrate on protecting you!" The little cat man stood up righteously.

The elven wizard hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The little cat man was called Kakado, and he was a very talkative little cat man. In just a moment, Mu Yi learned about their team from him.

There was originally a paladin, but he was killed when he went out of the camp to clear the swarm of insects, which led to them having to face the current embarrassing situation.

They wanted a set of mechas, but the combined contributions of several people were still a little short, so they had to stay and fight.

For a fragile mage, a set of mecha can be quite helpful.

Although the little cat man was talking to Mu Yi, he did not let his guard down at all.

As she vigilantly observed the surroundings, her ears kept turning. As if noticing Mu Yi's gaze, Kakado shook her ears and wagged her tail uncomfortably.

"An insect swarm is detected approaching! Level 1 alarm!"

"Level 1 alert! Everyone be alert! Prepare to fight!"

Suddenly, the Terryvar patrol team, which had been wandering back and forth between several nodes on the city wall like ghosts, shouted a warning.

"Om..."

Following the loud warning, the patrol team quickly pressed the corresponding button next to them to provide timely feedback to the joint command center at the rear.

At the same time, the pagers on the patrol team's waists began to sound:
"Report from the command center! No elite monsters found! Report completed!"

"All combatants, prepare for battle!"

The patrol team leader began to issue orders in an orderly manner, and as the patrol team issued orders, a solemn atmosphere gradually spread.

The faces of the warriors were filled with solemnity and cold murderous intent, which made people feel depressed, just like the oppressive feeling before a storm.

The entire joint point instantly fell into a deathly silence, and everyone was shrouded in this dangerous and depressing battlefield atmosphere.

The sky was like a weeping bloody sunset, as if it contained endless murderous intent...

…………

…………

The remaining time to complete the mission is: 23 hours and 12 minutes.

As time passed, a swarm of insects like a thick black cloud appeared in everyone's sight.

There was a little bit of strange light flashing on almost every insect.

Under the bloody sunset, they brought darkness and death, covering everyone like a twisted shadow!

"Beep beep..."

The sirens blared, warning the soldiers on the city walls and piercing the bloody sky.

"Watch me! Meow!"

Kakado waved his staff excitedly, and a fire elemental spirit appeared in the team.

"Roar!" As soon as the fire elemental elf appeared, it launched an attack on the swarm of insects in the distance.

A powerful explosive fireball marked the beginning of the battle.

The light curtain barrier above the camp did not disappear, but several windows appeared on the barrier, and many insects rushed towards the city wall through the gaps.

The people of Tellivar knew very well that they must not allow these insects to continue to accumulate, otherwise even a city wall like the Wall of Sighs would be breached by the insect swarm. Several camps had been destroyed before because they were too superstitious about the power of the Wall of Sighs.

That's why they choose this method of "it's better to loosen than to block" to deal with the problem.

The exploding fireball exploded in the insect swarm, and several insects turned into charred corpses and fell to the ground.

If they can survive this wave, the corpses of these insects will become fuel for the incinerator. The energy used by the camp before came from the bodies of insects eliminated in various commissioned missions.

"Wow, these bugs are getting stronger!"

The little cat-man looked at the swarm of insects and said with some surprise that before, one explosive fireball she fired could take away at least dozens of insects, but now she only killed the insects in the center.

Although the surrounding insects were charred, they were still able to fly tremblingly.

"Save your mana, don't squander it!" the elven wizard scolded, and then chanted a spell.

A silver snake-like lightning chain shot out from his staff and wreaked havoc among the insect swarm, killing dozens of insects on the spot.

The battle became intense from the very beginning. Without any foreplay or preparation, everything suddenly reached its climax.

The remaining time to complete the mission is: 12 hours and 21 minutes.

"puff!"

Mu Yi chopped the insects that rushed over into two pieces with one knife, and summoned several Asura warriors to act as summons to block the subsequent attacks of the scattered insects on his behalf.

The battle lasted for twelve hours. The little cat man who was active at the beginning was now sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover his mana, and occasionally summoned an elemental elf to relieve the pressure on the front row.

Every hour, the barrier will be completely closed to give the defenders time to rest.

Mu Yi casually took out a peach from his backpack and started eating it.

"You are a monster!"

The dwarf warrior sat down on the ground, staring at Mu Yi in confusion.

Compared to them who had rested several times, Mu Yi did not show any sign of fatigue at all, like a superman.

In fact, for Mu Yi, this intensity was not even a warm-up.

No matter what, taking advantage of the rare break, Mu Yi also sat down.

Although the strength of this batch of insects has increased a lot, overall, they are only at the level of gnolls and skeleton soldiers.

However, they can fly, which makes their attack power much higher.

When they surge in like a tide, it undoubtedly reminds people of the Undead Scourge, which is the representative of human wave tactics.

This kind of insect swarm tactic is even more terrifying than the Undead Scourge.

In particular, these bugs have many strange abilities. Their attacks will be accompanied by various vicious magical effects, and some will even self-destruct.

However, if you can kill these suicide bugs in the swarm, it can cause considerable damage to the swarm.

A wizard's spells often bring such surprises.

However, once it explodes on the city wall, it will easily cause casualties in the team.

Compared to the city wall at the beginning, more than a dozen teams have been wiped out.

The results created by many teams seem to be quite brilliant.

A wall might kill tens of millions of bugs.

Mu Yi couldn't help but sigh that there is strength in numbers.

It was already the second half of the night and dawn was not far away.

The insect corpses have piled up near the city walls, and many mechanical servants are carrying the insect corpses back for incineration.

After a short rest, the battle resumed.

A bright light lit up at the top of the joint, dispelling the darkness around it.

Insects continued to rush in from the areas where the lights could not cover, like an endless tide.

"Dead!"

The little cat man sat cross-legged on the ground again and began to recover his magic power, but there was a look of decadence on his face.
