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

Lin Feng nodded. "A valley? That's perfect. Let's trap them and make sure none of them escape. They're really looking for their own graves while they're still here."

Xiao Xuan had already started walking, heading straight into the jungle. He stomped the tall trees into the ground, and the convoy following behind slowed down noticeably. The jungle ground was uneven, with weeds and tree roots growing in a tangled mess. Even with Xiao Xuan leading the way, Xia Du's mutated beast horde still managed to carve out a path.

However, the vehicles still struggled to move forward. The road surface was uneven, and several vehicles had already stalled on the slopes, unable to move forward at all.

Xia Du and Lin Feng showed no sign of stopping; instead, they sped up their journey. They had no choice but to abandon their own vehicles, grab the supplies, and board other people's cars.

But the trouble didn't just come from the difficult road conditions. The figures of those Japanese strategists began to appear in the shadows of the jungle. They lurked behind tree trunks or in bushes, occasionally picking out to attack the convoy.

Lin Feng's Xuan Turtle completely ignored this small-scale provocation, relying on its huge size to rampage. The tall trees were no different from weeds in front of the Xuan Turtle. Instead, the guards who were waiting on the city wall used crossbows to kill many Japanese strategists.

Xia Du was even less afraid, and his thousands of beasts were like fish in water. The Japanese couldn't do anything about them, so they set their sights on the caravan behind them.

Within two hours of the convoy entering the jungle, dozens of vehicles were lost. Some were overturned and destroyed by strange creatures that suddenly emerged from the ground, while others were destroyed by parasitic creatures that could control several vines.

Hundreds of people died in the process, only because the Gold-Eating Ants arrived and killed the Japanese monsters, and rescued many people from the overturned car; otherwise, the casualties would have been even greater.

The people in the convoy pressed the walkie-talkie and began to speak: "This won't do. Why don't we leave this convoy? These Japanese are too strange; we can't defend against them at all."

Someone quickly chimed in, "It's too late to leave now. We're already deep in the jungle. Even if we turn back now, we might not make it out alive."

"What should we do then? We can't just wait to die."

A calm male voice came: "If my senses are not mistaken, we should go to the back of that turtle. My abilities have guided me and the caravan all the way here. The way out should be on the turtle's back."

A discussion came through the walkie-talkie: "Indeed, there are city walls up there, and at night there's a protective barrier to keep out the strange occurrences. Our only way out is up there."

"Go up there?" One of them was clearly reluctant: "Going up there means being controlled by others, and having to pay ghost crystals for rent every day. I'm not going to be that sucker. In my own car fleet, I can have girls whenever I want, and I'm the boss. I'm not going..."

Some people echoed this sentiment, clearly having gained power and status in the apocalypse that they would never have dared to dream of in normal times, and were unwilling to give up their current lives.

The walkie-talkie was silent for a moment, then someone said, "Okay, those who want to go up can go up, and those who don't want to go can stay. Nobody gets in anyone's way. Anyway, I've decided, I'm going up. It's just handing over the ghost crystals, killing a few monsters."

"I had to work on Earth and pay rent. Besides, following behind is not as safe as going up there. If I keep driving like this, even if my car doesn't fall apart, I won't be able to withstand the constant attacks."

No one spoke after that. Some of the vehicles accelerated and drove forward toward the Xuan Turtle. After contacting Zhao Gao, they boarded the turtle's back one after another.

The remaining people were either unwilling to go up or were being watched by the awakened ones in the convoy and unable to move. The vehicles continued to advance behind Xia Du's herd of beasts.

Zhao Gao came to report: "Your Majesty, a group of people just came up. Those who handed over the Ghost Crystals have been arranged to rooms, and the ordinary people who did not have Ghost Crystals have been arranged to work shifts at the power plant. There are about four or five hundred people left down there. Some of them are old members of Wang Lie's patrol team who are hunting Japanese monsters down there, and some are from other small caravans."

Lin Feng nodded: "Don't worry about them. We've already given them the chance. The lives of the rest are none of our business."

Zhao Gao bowed and withdrew.

The trees in the jungle grew taller and taller, and some new species appeared. Insects crawled out from the cracks in the rocks and from the dead branches and leaves. These beetles were very large, some a meter or two long, and some even more than ten meters long. They had densely packed multi-legged limbs like centipedes, and their bodies were covered with a hard black carapace.

When the beetle appeared, Lin Feng glanced at it and activated his Golden Eyes of Truth.

Millipedes: Social beetles, generally level 1-4, sensitive to vibration, and numerous, especially common in jungles and swamps.

(Note: These things usually don't appear alone. When you spot the first one, it means a swarm is coming. Good luck...)

"Heh, an insect swarm? Perfect timing."

After reading the description, Lin Feng smiled and called out to Yang Jin beside him, "The experience pack is here! Call the guards and all the professionals who want to gain experience up here..."

Soon, the team members put on their protective gear, came to the city wall, adjusted their positions, took their crossbows and bows, and drew their bowstrings.

"Don't rush, wait until they gather together before you shoot. It would be a shame to miss such good targets."

As soon as the words were spoken, a large number of millipedes crawled out from various hidden corners and surged towards the convoy.

"Now, shoot..."

A barrage of arrows shot out from the city wall, instantly piercing through the hard carapace. Green liquid spurted from the wounds, pinning the millipede to the ground. The gold-eating ants quickly moved forward, grabbed the still-trembling millipede's head, and dragged it away.

Cheers erupted from the city wall.

"Haha, I leveled up! I finally leveled up! It's safer here. Only a fool would go down there to fight..."

When Wang Lie's patrol team heard these words, their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. They really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

"Damn it, I'm out of arrows! Can anyone sell me a few bundles? I'll pay double the amount of Ghost Crystals..."

Seeing an opportunity to make money, one of the professionals picked up his walkie-talkie, tuned to a channel, and whispered, "Honey, where are you? Go under the bed and get the ghost crystal. Go buy some arrows, a lot of them. This is a chance to make a fortune. It's a rare opportunity, so hurry..."

Every now and then, you could hear someone shouting from the city wall, "I leveled up! That was awesome!"

Seeing this, the people in the lower professions also became eager to try their luck and went to the weapons shop to buy weapons, hoping to get a share of the profits.

They quickly ran into the weapons sales area.

"Hello, I want a crossbow and arrows. I want to go to the battlefield..."

Of course, there are also professionals who are short of money. A large part of them are people who came to Xuanfeng City later. They ran out of the Ghost Crystals they earned after applying for awakening their profession, and the store just happened to launch a humanized service.
