At 2 a.m. in the wee hours of the morning, the sun in the other world was starting to set.

An Wen sat on the watchtower as he ate a chicken drumstick and drank a bottle of cola, watching the forest in the distance gradually being shrouded in darkness.

Finally, the last trace of sunlight vanished.

There was complete silence in the forest, but suddenly, roaring sounds emerged from within.

Splat!

An Wen threw the chicken drumstick that he had finished eating and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then, he stood up.

“They’re finally here.”

With a hint of nervousness, An Wen flicked the switch beside him.

Click!

The moment he flicked the switch, 50 1000W LED lamps that were hung on wooden poles turned on.

The entire camp, including the area just beyond the city wall, was instantly illuminated by the blinding lights.

It was as bright as day!

At that juncture, the sound of growling and roaring that emerged from within the forest seemed to be approaching the camp.

Even the ground was trembling slightly.

Rumble…

Finally, the monsters in the forest charged out and appeared just beyond the city wall.

There were tens of them… hundreds… thousands… tens of thousands…

Eventually, there were too many monsters that An Wen could not keep count of them.

In any case, the 300-meter long empty area between the forest and the city wall was completely filled with monsters.

All sorts of monsters, big and small, were charging wildly towards the city wall.

Boom, boom, boom…

At that juncture, the stone catapults behind the city wall suddenly launched their attacks.

The eight stone catapults hurled barrels of petrol into the mass of monsters.

Well, there seemed to be no powerful effect.

After all, the petrol was not ignited yet, so the barrels merely hit several monsters and killed them, while the large army of monsters was completely unaffected.

An Wen was not at all concerned about such. He continued staring intently at the base of the city wall.

The main question now was whether the city wall would be able to withstand the attacks of the large army of monsters, and not whether the monsters would be killed before they reached the city wall.

Those were two separate questions that also represented two different levels of difficulty in the game.

Bam, bam, bam…

The monsters at the frontline finally made their first direct contact with the city wall.

Those monsters who charged forward the fastest looked like rhinoceroses with bone spurs growing all over their body. Each of them even had an enormous horn on their heads, and they charged at the city wall with their horns.

In that instant, An Wen could even feel the city wall shake slightly.

However, the next moment, An Wen smiled.

All of the horned monsters were instantly killed.

When their horns hit the NM titanium alloy plates, their horns instantly shattered.

Following which, their heads crashed into the titanium alloy plates, and their heads instantly exploded like watermelons smashed by a large hammer.

An Wen looked at the Durability of the city wall.

He found that, after a wave of suicide attacks by the monsters, not a single Durability point was lost.

“Perfect!”

Upon seeing that, An Wen was relieved.

That was because the horned monsters appeared to be the stronger ones among the entire army of monsters.

Even if there were other monsters in the army that were stronger than those horned ones, they would still be unable to deal much damage to the city wall.

“The monsters that destroyed the camp and ambushed me previously should be those with pointed mouths, at the back of the army.”

Although An Wen did not manage to take a clear look at the monsters previously, he could be absolutely certain that the monsters that attacked him were those at the back of the army, now that he saw them again.

“Wonderful, now’s the time for my revenge.”

An Wen went down the watchtower and then moved boxes of self-made fireworks out of the wooden house, behind the city wall.

Indeed, although the fireworks were originally purchased by An Wen, he had subsequently taken them apart to remake them into another type of fireworks (or rather, explosives).

Moving the boxes of self-made fireworks onto the city wall, An Wen retrieved the rocket-type fireworks and positioned them on the pilasters.

“Here is a round of ‘gun’ salutes to wish you well on your journey to the heavens.”

An Wen lit the fuse.

Sizzle, sizzle…

The rocket-type fireworks that were as thick as a person’s thigh were propelled into the sky, spewing more than 1-meter-long flames from its tail. It landed in the mass of monsters.

Boom, boom, boom…

Resounding explosions echoed through the air as flames shot high into the sky—the fireworks exploded within the mass of monsters.

The barrels of petrol that had been flung into the mass of monsters earlier were also ignited by the raging flames.

A sea of fire!

The entire area in front of the city wall had turned into a sea of raging flames.

The weaker monsters were instantly killed in the light of the fire.

On the other hand, the stronger monsters were engulfed in flames as they ran frantically in all directions, roaring wildly.

However, each of their health bars was also decreasing at a visible rate, until it was completely empty.

The three-meter-tall monsters which An Wen referred to as pointed-mouth monsters were all eliminated at that moment, as they had coincidentally been standing at the center of the explosions.

At that juncture, heavy snow began falling from the sky.

An Wen grabbed a snowflake with his hands.

He looked up at the completely dark sky.

“It’s snowing. What a pity, I can’t put my next plan into action now.”

An Wen looked at the monsters at the bottom of the city wall and realized that he was overly prepared. They were completely powerless against the unrelenting attacks of the archer towers and stone catapults, as well as the sea of fire. 

He had thought that there were too few archer towers and stone catapults, regardless of how much damage they dealt.

As such, he had prepared to let them attack the stronger monsters, while he dealt with the weaker ones. Apart from the sea of fire, he had other tactics planned.

Unfortunately, it now appeared that those tactics did not need to be put into action.

“These monsters are truly the same as those in survival games, they are completely brainless.”

Standing atop the city wall and looking down at the monsters below that were continuously attacking the titanium alloy plates, An Wen felt that it was an extremely hilarious scene.

Truthfully, the 7-meter-tall city wall could not be considered tall.

If the monsters stacked themselves on one another in the shape of a pyramid, they could easily climb onto the city wall within minutes.

Sadly, apart from the fact that the monsters did not know how to form a pyramid formation, their corpses would also not be left behind after they were killed. They would only burst into a mist of blood in the instant when their health bars were depleted.

In other words, as long as the city wall was not broken through, the safety of the camp would be guaranteed, and there was no need to worry.

Swoosh, swoosh…

An Wen continued to hear the whizz of arrows zipping through the air.

The arrows from the archer towers generally killed one monster instantly with one shot. 

The physically stronger and clearly more powerful monsters required two arrows to be shot dead, but apart from them, there were no other monsters that could withstand more than two arrows from the archer towers.

On the other hand, the stone catapults dealt damage with an area-of-effect.

An Wen could clearly see that the stones thrown by the stone catapults did not hit the monsters when it landed.

However, all of the monsters within a 3-meter-radius around where the stones landed would be depleted of all of their health, and explode into mists of blood.

That was the power of the game settings—simply unexplainable.

If the setting was such that any monster within a 3-meter-radius of the stones would receive damage, then any one of them who could not withstand the damage dealt would have to die.

“Sniff… It’s getting quite cold.”

An Wen sniffed—he could barely withstand the low temperature of -45 degrees.

That was something that he truly could not cope with.

Unless he lit pits of fire around him, the temperature at night would be 45 degrees below freezing.

“I shall return home first to stick on a few heat packs before coming back here.”

Shivering in the cold, An Wen could not stand the cold any longer and returned home to stick on several heat packs.

He waited until the heat packs were warm before he traveled back to the other world.

“The first wave of attacks by the monsters on the city has ended, but this is only an attack on the level of 100 thousand Survival Points. The next step of the experiment would be to test the limits of the attacks of the monsters on the city.”

After returning to the other world, An Wen continued assembling buildings, such that three of them were no longer in their previous demolished state.

The previous round of attacks by the monsters on the city appeared extremely intense.

However, that was actually just An Wen’s preliminary test. Of all the buildings in the camp, he had only completed assembling two bathrooms and one warehouse.

In other words, if he restored all of the buildings in the camp to a completed state, the level of the monsters’ attacks on the city might well increase more than tenfold.

“I shall restore three buildings first, that would be somewhat equivalent to increasing 200 thousand Survival Points. Let’s see what the effect is.”

An Wen did not dare to restore the wood processing factory immediately; that could easily lead to disaster.

After the three buildings were restored, An Wen went back to the watchtower.

He did not climb up to the city wall since he did not know what was going to happen subsequently.

As expected, a few minutes later, a giant monster that was more than four meters tall and close to 15 meters long appeared. It was leading another wave of monsters, all charging towards the city wall.
