Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 43 Retreat, Clearing Ammunition Clips and Building the Wall

On the radar map, the light spot is heading straight for the center, and its speed is getting faster and faster.

At the same time, Lu Sheng received a message from Lin Ran:

"I saw it. It was a very large wolf, but it was using other ferocious beasts as cover. My rifle barrel was overheating and its accuracy was decreasing, making it difficult to hit it."

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and gave his reply:

"Lin Ran, stop firing and give the gun barrel time to cool down. Your role is far more important than killing a few more ferocious beasts. Follow my instructions in a moment."

"receive."

After ending the communication with Lin Ran, Lu Sheng saw the level six ferocious beast appear in his field of vision. The beast was larger than the leader of the Ink Wolves and moved very quickly.

At this moment, Zhaocai sent an analysis report:

"According to the database comparison, the Night Beast whose energy characteristics match is: Wind Steed Wolf, Level 6. It is speculated that the target became the leader due to the cluster phenomenon and was strengthened by the power of the long night, making it more threatening than the common individuals."

The target's movement route is predicted, and there is a probability that they will use buses or trucks as springboards to jump over the perimeter wall and launch an attack from behind.

Upon hearing the report, Lu Sheng realized that the situation was dire. The reason they were able to hold off the ferocious beast was only because it could only attack from one direction.

Once this swift wolf jumps inside the wall, not only will it be attacked from both sides, but the workers will also be immediately exposed to danger.

He immediately contacted Liang Shan to inquire about the progress.

"Almost there! Faster than expected! Only a few meters left!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng quickly reviewed the design in his mind, and his eyes lit up. He raised his wristband and contacted Lei Zhaowu directly in the communications group.

"Lei Zhaowu, how many grenades do you have left?"

"Brother Lu, I only have two left."

Upon receiving this answer, he immediately began urging everyone to retreat:

"Liang Shan, halt construction. The wall is complete. I have other plans for the remaining area. Everyone, gather here immediately!"

The group didn't understand why Lu Sheng had made this arrangement, but out of trust in him, they immediately began to act according to his orders.

Lei Zhaowu immediately threw out two grenades. Under the cover of the explosion, the combat personnel on the bus and truck tumbled off and ran towards Lu Sheng as soon as they landed.

Seeing the crowd gathering, Lu Sheng quickly waved:

"Get everyone onto the roof, quick!"

Lu Sheng was the first to climb into the car, while the others climbed onto the roof from the front. When they saw the ferocious beast chasing after them through the smoke and dust of the explosion, Jiang Shutong immediately stepped on the gas and accelerated in reverse.

Just as the car passed the gap in the wall, Lu Sheng saw the upgrade notification as he had hoped:

"For an unfinished wall, check if it is adjacent to a completed wall and upgrade it to the same specifications by consuming 3 units of wood and 3 units of steel, and integrate it with the existing wall."

Consuming an additional five units of steel will generate an iron gate in the empty space. Consuming another five units of steel will connect this wall to the wall at the refueling depot.

Seeing the ferocious beast relentlessly pursuing him about to cross the gap, he stuck his hand out of the car window and fired a shot into the air.

boom!

The gunshot was the command. In an instant, the unfinished wall, along with the gap, transformed into a curtain of light, blocking all the pursuing beasts.

The beast tide, like ocean waves, crashed against the light screen, which had been just a few long wooden stakes a second ago, remained completely still.

However, this light barrier failed to stop all the ferocious beasts.

A lithe figure leaped onto the truck, used it as a springboard, and soared over the wall, landing steadily on the inside of the wall.

The Wind Wolf was tall and large, like a fully grown wild horse. From the very beginning, it was prepared to cross the wall and attack the humans from both sides with the other ferocious beasts, killing them one by one.

The moment it landed, it turned around and saw that the ferocious beast that it had expected to rush in with it was not there.

The light screen had faded, and an iron gate appeared out of thin air. The wooden poles on either side of the gate had turned into towering walls.

The ferocious beasts he commanded were now kept outside.

Being attacked from both sides, he has become fighting alone.

However, as the leader chosen by the Long Night, the Wind Wolf was enhanced not only with its intelligence, but also with its strength.

It believed that as long as it used its speed, which it was so proud of, the few people inside the walls wouldn't be enough for it to kill.

boom!

Before the Wind Wolf could even move, it felt as if its body had been struck hard by an iron hammer, and its limbs immediately bent over, with scalding blood flowing down its body.

It couldn't understand it. It stared at everyone present, but the trajectory of this bullet didn't overlap with the shooting trajectory of any of them.

Wind Wolf realized that there was another gunman lurking in the shadows.

You have to start running. As long as you keep running, you still have a chance of winning.

On the roof of the distant refueling depot, Lin Ran skillfully pulled the bolt, chambered another round, and fired another shot at the Wind Wolf.

boom!

The shot hit the Wind Wolf's hind leg, causing it to almost fall down as it was about to run.

As it regained its footing, it saw a dark gun muzzle.

All the gunmen inside the wall, led by Lu Sheng, raised their guns at the same time and pulled the triggers while Feng Julang was still stunned after being hit by a high-powered rifle bullet.

Gunfire erupted in an instant, as if celebrating the completion of the camp's perimeter wall. By the time everyone had emptied their volley, the Wind Steed Wolf was riddled with bullets.

A few seconds later, its body slumped and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"call."

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look outside the wall.

With the leader dead, the ferocious beasts gradually retreated, and the battle ended.

Someone started it, shouting "We won!" and then people cheered, until finally many people cheered together.

All the gun barrels were smoking hot, and Lu Sheng's revolver was so hot that he didn't know where to put it, but no matter what, they won.

After a brief moment of excitement, Lu Sheng began to organize everyone to clean up the battlefield.

He opened the iron gate and let Lu Zheng, Liang Shan, and Lei Zhaowu drive their cars in, in case there were any ferocious beasts with amazing jumping ability that could use the car roofs to jump over the wall.

Looking at the vast expanse of ferocious beast carcasses outside, he placed an order for carcass recycling. This time, Lu Sheng didn't specify the quantity or type of beast, only that the quantity was "very large," and asked Sun Zhiyuan to bring a larger vehicle.

Later, the group walked around the wall to get a clear view of the whole area.

The entire camp is enclosed in an L-shape, running from east to west. At the westernmost end, two iron gates block the road and connect to the refueling warehouse.

Both iron gates that block the road can be opened, and there is an entrance on the east side facing south and another on the west side, ensuring that pedestrians can leave directly from the other entrance the next day after stopping at the camp.

Lu Zheng wrote a report on the completion of the wall and made suggestions in the report, hoping to allocate more resources and building materials to speed up the construction of the camp.

He had just finished writing and was about to hand it in to his family when he suddenly noticed a convoy parked outside the West Gate, and Lu Sheng was opening the gate for them.

"Lu Sheng, what happened here?"

After Lu Sheng opened the door, Sun Zhiyuan walked in.

He could see piles of ferocious beast carcasses and walls rising from the ground from afar, and his mind was full of questions.
