293 Rampaging Beasts Attacking the City

Although he was the chief designer and his forging ability was somewhere in the middle of six stars, he had no idea how to deal with the complicated connecting device on the armor.

Therefore, he could only ask Cheng Wen to get Wu Mo to handle it. He only hoped that he could complete the task before the delivery day and not let down the military leaders who had trusted and helped them.

However, he did not expect Wu Mo’s improved Invisibility Armor to not only perfectly solve the problem of poor performance caused by the fast production line but also accelerate the production speed by nearly two times. As such, it would be absolutely no problem to finish all the orders before the delivery day!

After solving the problem, old Wen watched as the master in the workshop got busy again. He immediately expressed his grat.i.tude, “Wu Mo, I really have to thank you this time. You’ve been very busy lately, but I still have to trouble you when there’s a problem at the workshop.

“What are you saying, Old Wen? I’m the one who created the Invisibility Armor. I can’t just sit by and do nothing if there’s a problem. Besides, there’s indeed something wrong with the armor’s connecting device, which is why production was delayed. You don’t have to blame yourself.” Wu Mo cupped his hands together and said with a serious expression.

“Wu Mo, you solved the problem really quickly. It looks like you’re not far from breaking through to the six-star rank.”

a.s.sistant Cheng stepped forward. He seemed to sense the spiritual fluctuations around Wu Mo and immediately stated his observation in surprise.

“Brother Cheng, you must be joking. I only reached the five-star rank less than half a year ago. There’s still a long way for me to go. Speaking of which, I’m still a newcomer in the Fifth Research Department. You don’t have to be so polite, Brother Cheng.

“By the way, I may still need help over at the laboratory. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Wu Mo said in embarra.s.sment.

In fact, he had not spent much time on forging recently. Instead, he had spent the most time looking at doc.u.ments and making models. Unknowingly, he had gained a lot of knowledge.

He did not know if his skills had increased, but he felt that forging equipment had become more comfortable.

“Alright, I’ll get Cheng Wen to send you back.”

Old Wen knew that Wu Mo still had to study equipment to complete his third technological breakthrough. Moreover, he had attended the exhibition a few days ago and needed to attend the award ceremony later.

For the past half a month, Wu Mo had been so busy that he had not gone home much, so old Wen could understand Wu Mo’s urgency.

Soon, Wu Mo and a.s.sistant Cheng departed from the Invisibility Armor’s production workshop, leaving only old Wen and a few technical a.s.sistants to keep watch.

…

On the road outside, Wu Mo sat in a military vehicle with his head lowered and began to think about how he should plan the casting of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.

Cheng Wen was driving the military vehicle. Through the rearview mirror, he noticed that Wu Mo was immersed in his thoughts, so he did not disturb him.

However, he looked at Wu Mo with admiration.

The twenties was the best age for a man.

Very few people of the same age worked. Most of them ate, drank, and had fun every day. Their day would pa.s.s in the blink of an eye.

Young people nowadays often could not settle down to pursue academia. The materialistic world and various activities for entertainment had occupied their hearts long ago.

Young people like Wu Mo, who had a calm heart and academic spirit, were rare in Jingdu and even in the Nine Provinces.

This was because everyone was willing to devote their best years to academia and their country.

Soon, the military vehicle reached the Fifth Research Department. Wu Mo got out of the vehicle and said goodbye to Cheng Wen before returning to the research building.

He sat in the quiet laboratory and continued to devote himself to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s forging plan.

Sometimes, he would enter the forging s.p.a.ce and study the doc.u.ments he had exchanged from the system.

At times, he would return to his experiments and continue conceiving the forging plan.

While Wu Mo was extremely busy…

Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were also carrying out their secret plan elsewhere.

At Lushui County, a border city only 300 kilometers away from the capital of White River…

Everything was in a state of chaos due to the beast attack.

It had only been a week since the Rank 6 Gray Howler destroyed the city wall.

Back when the Rank 6 beast was wreaking havoc, it was Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf who had arrived and saved the civilians on that road.

However, because of Lone Wolf’s leg injury, he and Bald Eagle only managed to drive the Gray Howler away and not kill it on the spot.

Later on, the Gray Howler seemed to escape deep into the mountains and old forests at the edge of Lushui County. Thousands of city guards searched along the way, but they could not find it.

After that, they could only put the incident on hold. The City Defense Army only repaired the city wall and sent more people to patrol the area.

There were no further incidents or eye-witnesses. The Gray Howler, who was three meters tall, had seemingly evaporated from Lushui County, and the people gradually forgot about it.

A week later, the military’s detection device pinpointed somewhat chaotic spatial fluctuations in a certain area on the outskirts of Lushui County.

It was clearly a sign that a spatial crack was forming. To protect the people of Lushui County, the military arranged for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to lead a dozen special force cultivators to Lushui County and be stationed there a day in advance.

The following results were as predicted by the detection device. At 10.00 am the next day, a small spatial rift appeared in a wasteland three kilometers away from Lushui County.

Thousands of ferocious beasts rushed out of the hole and headed straight for the nearest administrative district, which was Lushui County.

Fortunately, Bald Eagle had already reminded the City Defense Army to be prepared and be on high alert.

After detecting the arrival of the beasts, everyone immediately set up a line of defense outside the city gate as they planned to kill all the beasts before they could enter the city.

It was 10.20 am.

Numerous city defense troops were hiding in the fortifications that had been set up.

The fortifications set up included wooden stakes, barbed wire, sandbags, trenches, and so on.

The purpose of the fortifications was only to slow down the speed of the beasts’ attack. It was to prevent the beasts from directly destroying the city wall and having nothing to slow them down.

A hundred meters behind them was a three-meter-tall gray wall made of hard concrete.

“Captain, the rampaging beasts are already 500 meters away. What time do we need to make our move?” Within the fortifications, a captain of Lushui County’s City Defense Army immediately turned his head and asked nervously after sensing that the ground’s shaking seemed to be getting stronger.

Bald Eagle squinted and looked into the distance. After a moment, he softly said, “Once they’re about 100 meters away, we’ll attack together. Remember to choose an enemy that suits you and try not to get injured!”

He touched the Spirit Wave Sword at his waist, his voice cold and murderous.

At the side, Lone Wolf had already put on his Invisibility Armor, and he was ready to kill the powerful creatures in the beast tide at any time.

Right then, the shaking of the ground was becoming more and more obvious. Hiding behind the fortifications, the City Defense Army’s troops were also a little nervous.

The troops usually had to deal with cultivators who did not follow the rules or rebel groups.

They did not have much experience in dealing with fierce beasts. Compared to the veterans in the Hunter Bureau who had licked the blood off the tip of their knives, they seemed a little fl.u.s.tered.
