Chapter 84 Shopping Spree! One Person is the Defense Line!
Inside the command tent, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
It was a complex smile, a mixture of pride, excitement, and satisfaction, but it froze into astonishment when he saw Chen You's suddenly tense face on the screen.
"What happened?"
Li Guoan's voice broke the silence, carrying a strange tremor.
He stared intently at Chen You's young face in the image, his expression shifting from confusion to shock, and then to a chilling sense of unease.
"His expression is off!"
"He...he seems to be in fear!" Sun Feng, the data analysis team leader, said.
fear?
Why was he afraid after the "City of Immortals" that had just been built, a city that embodied the best wisdom of the entire Chinese nation?
Before anyone can figure it out.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Ultra-high-level spatial distortion detected! Energy reading...unable to be calculated! Threshold limit exceeded!"
The piercing buzzing sound echoed throughout the command center.
All eyes suddenly shifted from Chen You's face to the other side of the large splicing screen.
That was a wide-angle image transmitted back from high altitude by UAV-05.
On the west side of the majestic city wall of "Baiyujing", above that tranquil valley, space shattered without warning, like fragile glass!
A series of pitch-black cracks appeared out of nowhere, quickly intertwined and expanded, eventually forming a slowly rotating pitch-black vortex with a diameter of over 100 meters.
That wasn't a fancy teleportation effect from a game, but a pure, light-devouring void that represented misfortune and destruction!
"Command 'Azure Dragon'-01 and 02 UAVs to conduct close-range reconnaissance!"
Zhou Jianguo, the person in charge, snatched the microphone and roared in a hoarse voice.
However, before the drone could arrive...
A gigantic claw, covered in a pale white bony carapace, suddenly emerged from the dark hole!
One of its claws is larger than a heavy tank.
Next, its head.
It has no eyes, only two deep holes burning with scarlet flames, and its barbed mouthparts open and close slightly, emitting a silent roar.
The next second, this terrifying behemoth, which was over fifty meters tall, walked out of the spatial rift with heavy steps!
boom!
The moment it set foot on the Qinling Mountains, everyone in the command center, several kilometers away, seemed to feel a violent tremor beneath their feet.
The thermos cup in Academician Liu Sicheng's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and his cloudy eyes widened in shock.
Zhang Bai, the chief designer of the aerospace project, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Professor Wang Qiuci turned pale and instinctively took a step back, bumping into the equipment cabinet behind her.
One second they were still moved to tears by the arrival of their "White Jade Palace" on earth.
In that instant, the messengers of hell, right before their artwork, tore through space and descended with overwhelming force!
"This... is this the monster that's besieging the city?"
Li Guoan muttered to himself, his face ashen.
He finally understood why Chen You looked so alarmed.
That's not an exaggeration, but the most accurate portrayal!
"All personnel on Level 1 combat readiness!!"
Li Guoan snapped back to reality and roared into the walkie-talkie like thunder.
"This is not a drill! Repeat, this is not a drill!"
"Order all perimeter fire units to lock onto the monster and prepare for a saturation attack!"
……
In the Origin Realm, Chen You felt as if his blood was about to freeze.
My hands and feet are cold.
Before he could even think about just how difficult the "purgatory" was, an extremely terrifying pressure was already crushing down from the western horizon.
He looked up sharply.
With his spiritual vision, the monster that emerged from the dark void clearly came into his view.
A row of blood-red characters was branded onto his retina like a brand.
[Abyss Ripper (Elite Lord)]
[Level: 30]
Health Points: ???
【attack:???】
【defense:???】
[Skills: Abyssal Grip, Tearful Roar, ???]
[Description: A low-ranking lord from the abyss, drawn by the aura of the new world, craved slaughter and destruction.]
Level 30!
Elite!
Still a lord!
Chen You's mind went blank with a "buzz".
Is this some kind of guild creation test for level 10 players?
Don't even mention a ten-person group; even if you bring a hundred level ten players, they'd just be a small appetizer in front of this thing!
The system isn't planning to give us a way out!
run?
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he extinguished it.
Once the city falls, the foundation of civilization will become the coordinates for monsters to invade reality!
He ran away. What will happen to the Qinling Mountains and the vast land of China behind him?
Oh shit!
A fierce determination stemming from his survival instinct surged up from the bottom of Chen You's heart.
"System...System Shop!"
He quickly opened the online store interface, his eyes scanning the screen frantically.
Guild Shop!
Sure enough, an extra options page appeared!
Chen You clicked on it without hesitation!
Basic Resources, Spirit Plant Cultivation... Building Blueprints!
This is it!
Chen You directly clicked on the [Architectural Blueprints].

[Fortress-level City Defense Ballista (Blueprint)]: ...
Chen You's gaze completely ignored the blueprints at the back.
A distant source of water cannot quench an immediate thirst!
His gaze was fixed on the words "disposable" and "limited edition" in front of those items.
"I bought it! I bought it all!!"
-2000 gold coins
-2000 gold coins
-2000 gold coins
-10000 gold coins
In an instant, 16,000 gold coins vanished!
Chen You didn't even blink.
This little bit of money is nothing!
【Ding! 】
[Building sequence has been generated. Please select a deployment area.]
[Estimated construction time: 10 minutes.]
[Effective duration: 60 minutes.]
Ten minutes!
Chen You looked up and glanced into the distance.
Besides the monster called "Abyss Ripper," countless smaller monsters appeared.
Countless monsters charged toward the territory.
The earth trembled.
At this rate, they'll be at the city gates in less than two minutes!
A virtual overhead map unfolded in front of Chen You.
He arranged all the building coordinates around the "Tianyuan" position, forming a circular defensive position.
This is the safest option and also prevents monsters from spawning in other directions.
Deployment confirmed!
Om-!
In the central square, enormous golden phantoms rose from the ground and began to solidify rapidly.
Meanwhile, at the command center.
"Report! New energy reaction detected at 'Tianyuan'! Generating... a building model!"
On the screen, everyone saw the golden phantom rising from the ground.
To the west, the monsters are getting closer and closer to the city walls!
Chen You arrived at the West Gate and stood atop the majestic city wall.
Behind him was the newly born "City of Immortals," a testament to the hard work and dedication of countless people.
Before him lay a relentless army of monsters, bringing death and destruction.
He is the city's first and currently only line of defense.
He slowly drew the Jade Emperor Sword, its blade reflecting a cold yet dazzling light in the setting sun.
"Come on, you beast."
He growled in a low voice, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.
