"The second step is to establish a core defense perimeter."
Zhao Yanzhi pointed heavily at two buildings on the blueprint—a faculty dormitory and the adjacent girls' dormitory.
"Although the training building is sturdy, its location is too remote, and its windows are too large, making it difficult to defend. These two buildings are not only close to each other, but also connected by a corridor. By sealing off both ends, a natural 'I'-shaped fortress can be formed."
Jiang Ming looked at the blueprints, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
This guy is truly a talent.
Having experienced the harsh realities of civilized society, Zhao Yanzhi's mind is much sharper and he's become much more ruthless than before.
"Granted."
Jiang Ming closed the folder and tossed it back to Zhao Yanzhi. "Do it your way. I want to see results before dark."
"yes!"
Zhao Yanzhi grabbed the blueprints, turned around, and roared at the survivors in the hall, "Did you all hear that? Those who don't want to die, get moving now!"
The once lifeless hall instantly became lively.
Under the threat of death, human potential is exploited without limit.
Dozens of boys were organized into a labor team and began moving tables and chairs and dismantling door panels.
Led by Xu Shishi, the girls collected bed sheets and curtains, tore them into strips, or used the simple needle and thread that Jiang Ming had synthesized to sew sandbags.
Jiang Ming wasn't idle either.
He sat at the entrance of the hall, like a ruthless assembly line machine.
Broken stone bricks + discarded bricks = simple reinforced stone bricks
Crushed bricks + cement powder + water = quick-drying hardened bricks
One by one, the reinforcement materials took shape in his hands, and then Zhao Yanzhi sent people to move them away to block the windows and extra entrances on the first floor.
The entire faculty and staff dormitory building and the girls' dormitory building are being transformed into an ironclad fortress at a visible speed.
time flies.
As the two red suns gradually rose overhead, they baked the withered grassland until it was scorching hot.
The dry, bleak smell in the air grew stronger.
"Brother Jiang, have some water."
Li Bin handed over a bottle of mineral water. His glasses were covered in dust, and he carried the bloodstained steel pipe, patrolling the area.
Jiang Ming unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
The movement suddenly stopped.
A familiar, fishy stench, carried by the hot wind, entered his nostrils.
It was the distinctive body odor of wild animals, a mixture of rotting flesh and saliva.
Moreover, there was more than one.
"They're here."
Jiang Ming put down the water bottle and looked at the bushes a few hundred meters away.
The once calm waves of grass suddenly began to tremble irregularly, as if something was moving rapidly underneath.
"What's here?" Wang Yang was carrying a bag of cement when he heard this and paused for a moment.
"Old friend."
Jiang Ming stood up, stretched his stiff neck, and his joints cracked.
"Everyone, retreat back inside!"
He didn't shout, but his calm voice clearly carried throughout the entire venue.
The students who were working were taken aback at first, then they saw green eyes emerging from the grass in the distance.
"Wolves! A pack of wolves!"
Terrified screams erupted instantly.
Those are plains wolves.
Moreover, the number was far greater than during the last night raid.
The densely packed gray backs undulated in the grass; at a rough glance, there were at least sixty or seventy of them.
"Don't panic! Evacuate according to the plan!"
Zhao Yanzhi brandished his spiked club, kicking a terrified boy to the ground. "Get inside! Block the door!"
The crowd surged into the faculty and staff dormitory building, tumbling and crawling.
Wang Yang and Li Bin also retreated to the main entrance, gripping their weapons tightly.
"Brother Jiang, come in quickly!" Wang Yang shouted anxiously, "There are too many of them! You can handle it, but we can't!"
"You guys go back first."
Jiang Ming stood on the steps, without taking a single step back.
He drew the Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword from his back with a backhand motion.
The heavy sword slammed onto the concrete floor, sending up a spray of sparks.
"Su Xiaoxiao".
Jiang Ming called out without turning his head.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind the door, peeked out tremblingly: "Jiang—Senior Jiang?"
"Give me a buff."
Jiang Ming's voice was cold and calm, exuding an undeniable domineering air: "All of it."
Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip, suppressing her fear of the wolves outside, and aimed her hands at Jiang Ming's back.
Buzz—
A dense yellow light instantly enveloped Jiang Ming's entire body.
[Skill: Combat Power Enhancement (Lv.2) is now active!]
[Strength +6! Duration: 5 minutes!]
Jiang Ming felt a surge of scalding heat instantly coursing through his limbs and bones. His once heavy armor now felt as light as nothing, and the Zhanma sword in his hand was as light as straw.
Strength: 24 points!
This is a terrifying value that is enough to crush all living beings at this stage.
"These are all experience points."
Jiang Ming left behind a sentence, and then, to the astonishment of Wang Yang and Li Bin, he charged alone against the surging wolf pack.
"He's gone mad—Brother Jiang has gone mad—"
Wang Yang muttered to himself, but his hands moved quickly, slamming the reinforced iron gate shut, leaving only a small slit for observation.
Outside.
Jiang Ming is like the only one going against the tide in this area.
The silver-white full-body armor reflected a dazzling light under the red sun, and the black cloak fluttered in the wind.
"Awooo—!!"
The wolf pack noticed that only one human had rushed out, and they immediately let out excited howls.
In their eyes, this is lunch delivered to their doorstep.
A dozen or so of the strongest vanguard wolves suddenly accelerated, opened their mouths full of fangs, and pounced on us from the front.
"Good timing."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Jiang Ming's lips.
These are not wolves.
This is a walking experience package.
These are attribute points that can be moved.
boom!!
The two collided violently.
There are no tricks.
There was no dodge.
Only absolute power and absolute violence!
The Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword drew a black semicircle in the air.
Pfft—!
The three plains wolves at the forefront didn't even see what happened before their bodies were severed in mid-air.
Blood, entrails, and bone fragments splattered like raindrops.
Killing a Plains Wolf (Lv.5) grants +500 experience points.
Killing a Plains Wolf (Lv.6) grants +500 experience points.
The system notification sounds, like pleasant music, kept flooding Jiang Ming's ears.
too weak.
With the boost of 24 points of strength, these beasts that once posed a challenge to him are now as fragile as paper.
Jiang Ming didn't even need to aim precisely; he only needed to swing his greatsword and use inertia and power to launch a wide-ranging attack.
Each swing of the sword was accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering.
A wolf that tried to ambush Jiang Ming's ankle had two fangs broken off as soon as it bit into his leg armor.
Before it could even let out a scream, a silver iron boot stomped down heavily.
Snapped!
The wolf's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
"Too...too powerful."
Behind the crack in the door, Zhao Yanzhi stared intently at the figure wreaking havoc among the wolves, his throat dry.
He originally thought that killing a few student council members made him a ruthless person.
But watching Jiang Ming kill with the same natural ease as eating and drinking, he realized that the gap between himself and this man was an insurmountable chasm.
That wasn't a battle.
That was a massacre.
Within just ten minutes, half of the sixty or seventy plains wolves had fallen.
Corpses piled up, and blood flowed like a river.
The remaining wolves on the plains finally felt fear.
Their numerical advantage, which they were so proud of, was meaningless in the face of this monster.
Neither claws nor fangs could leave even a scratch on that thick plate armor.
"Aww————"
With a mournful howl from the alpha wolf, the remaining wolves tucked their tails between their legs and began to flee frantically in all directions.
"You think you can just run away?"
Jiang Ming was caught up in the excitement of the battle and was preparing to chase after them to reap another wave of experience.
Sudden.
[Perception] Crazed Warning!
A sharp, stabbing pain instantly locked onto the back of his head.
It's not a wolf!
Something is aiming at him!
Jiang Ming reacted almost instinctively. He stopped abruptly, raised his left arm, and protected the only observation slit on his visor.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
next second.
A series of sharp, whistling sounds suddenly rang out.
A dozen or so gray-white arrows, like silent venomous snakes, shot out from the edge of the distant wall.
They precisely avoided Jiang Ming's thick breastplate, instead deliberately nailing themselves to the joints, armpits, and even the backs of his knees!
Ding ding ding—
The sounds of metal clashing together were continuous.
The arrows were incredibly powerful. Although they didn't penetrate the alloy defense of the Silver Knight's full-body armor, the enormous impact still made Jiang Ming's arm go numb, and his body involuntarily took half a step back.
"What is it?"
Jiang Ming quickly scanned the direction from which the arrows were coming through the gaps in his arm armor.
That's an area outside the school, about 100 meters away.
A dozen tall, slender figures stood on the broken wall, looking down at the scene.
They have humanoid bodies, wear gray-green leather armor, but their limbs are extremely thin, and their skin has a sickly pale color, as if they have never seen the sun.
Pointed ears, long gray-white hair fluttering in the wind, and a pale white bone longbow in his hand.
Jiang Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and the system panel automatically popped up:
【Elf Sentinel of the Pale Woods (Lv.12)】
[Race: Fallen Elf]
[Danger Level: High]
[Features: Precision Shot, Wind Protection, Jungle Traverse, Malice Slash.]
"An elf?"
Jiang Ming's heart sank.
Not the elegant, noble, nature-loving elves found in fantasy novels.
These things in front of me exuded a cold and evil aura.
Especially those eyes.
There was no white in their eyes, only pure black, like two bottomless black holes staring intently at him, exuding a chilling malice.
Whoosh—!
Another volley of arrows rained down.
This time it was even more cunning, targeting the gap where Jiang Ming's face and neck met.
"That accuracy—it's practically like they're using an aimbot!"
Jiang Ming snorted coldly, and swung his horse-slaying sword sharply, the broad blade forming a shield in front of him.
Clang! Clang!
Two arrows aimed at his face were deflected, sparks flying.
It's impossible to win.
Jiang Ming made a judgment instantly.
The opponent is a highly agile, long-range ranged unit that occupies a high, advantageous position.
Although I have high defense and great strength, my movement speed is limited by wearing heavy armor.
That distance of 100 meters is enough for the other side to use you as a live target and shoot you dozens of times.
If an arrow pierces a weak point in the armor or penetrates a gap in the visor, it's all over.
Being flown like a kite is a major taboo in military strategy.
"withdraw!"
Jiang Ming made a decisive decision.
Without lingering in the fight, he used his sword to cover his vitals and turned to run towards the faculty and staff dormitory building.
Thud!
Just as he turned around, an arrow struck his back armor hard, the huge impact causing him to stagger and sending sparks flying.
Using this momentum, Jiang Ming's speed actually increased, and he charged towards the gate like an out-of-control tank.
Half a minute later.
He rushed to the front gate.
"Open the door!!"
Wang Yang and Li Bin, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly opened the iron gate.
Jiang Ming rushed in like a gust of wind.
Clang!
The iron gate slammed shut again and was quickly secured with three bolts as thick as an arm.
Knock knock knock!
Several arrows followed closely behind, embedding themselves deeply into the iron gate, their fletchings still trembling wildly.
"call----"
Jiang Ming leaned against the wall, let out a long breath, and removed his face mask.
Sweat streamed down his face.
He glanced down at his armor.
On the silvery-white surface, there are more than a dozen deep white spots, and in some places there are even slight dents.
If it were regular leather armor, or if I hadn't been wearing this metal suit earlier—
He's been shot full of arrows.
"Brother Jiang, are you alright?"
Su Xiaoxiao rushed over, carrying a first-aid kit that wasn't closed properly.
"fine."
Jiang Ming waved his hand and peered through the crack in the door at the distant wall with a gloomy expression.
Seeing that their attack was ineffective, the pale figures did not pursue, but instead jumped off the wall without hesitation and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"What kind of monster is that?" Zhao Yanzhi looked at the trembling arrow on the door, his face pale. "Its penetrating power is stronger than my enhanced composite bow."
"Fallen Elf".
Jiang Ming reached out and pulled out an arrow that was stuck in the door.
The arrowheads were made from some kind of unknown animal bone, barbed, and coated with a layer of black, sticky substance that emitted a sweet, fishy smell.
"It seems our new neighbors aren't very friendly."
Jiang Ming casually tossed the poisoned arrow to the ground, a cold glint flashing in his eyes that was hard to decipher.
"Listen up, everyone."
He looked around, his voice low and serious.
"From this moment forward, no one is permitted to leave this building except for necessary reinforcement work."
"Zhao Yanzhi, have your men seal all the windows, leaving only firing ports. Remove all the bed boards and reinforce the walls."
"What we are about to face may be a real battle."
The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.
The students, who thought they were safe after escaping the wolves, were now plunged into even deeper despair.
But Jiang Ming ignored their emotions.
He was thinking.
Why are those elves here?
Just passing by?
Or is it that—
Does the appearance of this school infringe upon their territory?
Whatever the reason.
Since the health bar is now displayed.
Then only one side can survive.
