Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

The crowd continued to surge toward the city gate, and the open space on one side of the city wall became increasingly crowded. Some people were squatting in corners with their children in their arms, while others were squeezing through the crowd to find their companions.

Shouts and cries mingled together, a mixture of relief at surviving the ordeal and the pain of losing loved ones.

Zhao Dayong's Black Monster miners were the last to retreat. Luo Xiaoxiao glanced at the Black Monsters, then turned to her convoy and shouted, "Give them the shields and guard the entrance!"

The shields were handed over, and the Black Demon took them. One shield after another was smashed into the ground, firmly blocking the charging horde of mutated beasts. The people behind immediately thrust out their spears, and javelins and arrows attacked in turn.

Outside the city, Xiao Hei and Jin Tong continued to kill the mutated beast horde that tried to approach Xiao Xuan. One by one, the heads of the red-eyed rabbits were chopped off by Xiao Hei's sharp claws, or their necks were bitten off.

Golden Eyes' wind blade storm tore through the ground again and again, and the gray shadow rats caught in it were cut into pieces.

The city wall was already crowded with people. Long before Zhuoma said she would teach the women to shoot arrows, she had asked Guo Yi to make enough bows and arrows, especially the arrows. The materials of the mutated beasts collected along the way, especially the teeth and claws of the mutated beasts, were all exchanged by Lin Feng and incorporated into the arrowheads by Guo Yi. Now they have become a powerful weapon to kill the mutated beast horde.

Under the guidance of the original cavalrymen and the instruction of Zhuoma over the past few days, the women who were incorporated into the guard team have become quite skilled at archery. As for missing, that's not an issue; with the densely packed mutated beasts below, they can hit one with any random shot.

After stabilizing their formation, the mutated beasts could no longer get in. Those people crowded in the open space under the city wall began to look around, their eyes sweeping over the three-story circular building in front of them.

Their gaze then fell upon the staircase leading to the core area.

People started whispering, "Look, there are so many rooms here!"

"Yes, with so many rooms, if we could stay here, with the city walls for defense, wouldn't we never have to worry about mutated beasts and strange creatures again?"

"Of course..."

As the discussion grew more heated, the desire in their hearts could no longer be suppressed. A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, took a few steps up the stairs toward the entrance to the core area, and all eyes fell on him.

He seemed to enjoy this feeling: "Listen to me, everyone, there are so many rooms here, they're just sitting empty anyway. We are all survivors of Earth, why not give them to us?"

Those around them echoed their agreement.

"Yes, it's so dangerous outside, there are mutated beasts and strange creatures at any time."

"that is……"

Seeing that everyone around him agreed with what he said, the man became even more confident and took a few more steps forward.

"Step back!" Fang Ling's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, the short knife in her hand pressed against his neck, the blade almost slicing through his skin.

The man was so frightened that he took a step back, stumbled, and fell to the ground with a thud.

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd, and someone, realizing what was happening, immediately covered their mouth.

The man looked up at Fang Ling's expressionless face, then stood up, dusted off his pants, and instead of backing away, took another step forward, his voice a little louder than before.

"Don't you want to live here? The city walls are sturdy, and built on the back of a giant beast, a natural mobile base. Those monsters outside can't get up here at all. Besides, we won't stay for free. We can work for the Awakened Ones, and we'll hand over half of the supplies we collect in exchange for a room. Is that alright?"

His gaze swept over the people around him, finally landing on Fang Ling's face.

This statement garnered more support from others.

"Yeah, it's just sitting there empty anyway, it's not like we're not doing any work..."

"We can also collect supplies; it's just a matter of handing over half, we're willing..."

"Yeah, at worst we can go mining, as long as we have a room to stay in and food..."

"Lin Feng is so easy to talk to, he'll definitely agree..."

Fang Ling did not retract her short blade, but instead used her body to block the center of the steps, her gaze sweeping over the crowd: "Step back, or you will be killed without mercy."

A few seconds of silence followed, then someone in the crowd shouted, "You're not Lord Lin Feng, what right do you have to stop us?"

After someone spoke up, they seemed to gain more confidence, and many people moved closer to the steps.

"So many rooms are empty, what's the point of stopping us? Maybe Lin Feng is willing?"

"That's right, that's right..."

More and more people joined in, not just a few, but dozens or even hundreds. Some had already climbed up the stairs and were peering inside, seemingly choosing which room was better.

Someone had already entered the room, followed by exclamations of surprise: "There's even a bed here, and a bathroom too!"

"My God, this room is a hundred times more comfortable than the car..."

More exclamations came from different directions, which aroused the curiosity of even more people. Those who were still watching quickly climbed over the open space under the city wall onto the stairwell to watch, afraid that if they were late, the house would be taken by someone else.

"Fang Ling, move aside quickly, let's go talk to Lin Feng, he'll definitely agree..."

Some people were already eager to rush into the core area to find Lin Feng, and more and more people gathered on the steps. Fang Ling retreated again and again, holding the short blade in her hand, her knuckles turning white, but facing so many people, she still did not make the decision to kill them on the spot.

Standing on the city wall, Luo Xiaoxiao watched this scene. She pulled back several people around her who also wanted to join the crowd and go to get a house: "Don't go."

Just as those people were about to step into the core area, the ground suddenly trembled, and a stone spike rose from the steps, its sharp edges gleaming coldly. Then came a second, a third, and countless more...

Rows of spikes shot down rapidly from top to bottom, and everyone who stepped onto the steps watched helplessly as they were pierced by the suddenly appearing spikes. Screams and agonizing screams rang out at the same time.

The crowd, who had initially been aggressive and eager to claim a share of the house from Lin Feng, were suddenly pierced by the ground spikes and suspended in mid-air. Their limbs were still twitching slightly, but they could no longer make a sound. Whether they had stepped onto the stone steps or the house, not a single one was left alive.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

The remaining people screamed in terror, retreating in fear and collapsing to the ground, their legs trembling.

Watching hundreds of people die right before their eyes in the blink of an eye, their blood flowing down the stone steps and soaking their trouser legs, fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. Those who had been pulled back by Luo Xiaoxiao were now filled with gratitude. If they had followed the crowd up the stone steps, they would be the ones hanging on the stone spikes now.
