My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 537

Chapter 537 - Violent Counter-Attack, Taking Advantage of the Situation!

The special abilities of the Demon clan may be mysterious to others, but as the enemy, it was certainly not a secret to the armies of the Light Empire.

Since they had chosen to launch a sudden attack when there was a chance that their territory might have been infiltrated and have achieved good results so far…

That would indicate that this time, the attack of these mad cyborgs from the Light Empire was certainly not the same as their previous harassment outside the city, where they would disperse after a while and not turn it into a full-fledged war.

In a way, from the moment they chose to infiltrate the city and target the inner city, they began attacking the civilians and looting goods.

This war tonight was bound to end with either one side’s complete defeat and significant damage, or…

Tragic defeat to both sides!

“No, we can’t go to the inner city. There are too many people trying to squeeze into there. Once we’re trapped in the crowd and get surrounded by the forces of Light Empire, it’d be impossible to get out even if we prayed to the gods!

“Don’t panic. Luo Lun, bring the others to guard the front door and try to block the door with our useless goods to prevent people from breaking in.

“Hao Qiang, you have little combat experience, so hide in the house’s basement. Don’t show yourself without my order.

“Turner and I will guard the back door!

“Everyone, keep in mind that this is a battle for our city! Our mission is not to repel the enemies from the Light Empire. Our top priority is to save our lives. By staying in the exchange where we have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, we can reduce the number of sacrifices!

“The same rule applies to each and every one of you! Do not leave to try to save or kill anyone without my order!”

Hearing the countless screams across the skies, and feeling the goosebumps all over his body, Su Mo’s thoughts were running wild. He immediately figured out the current situation and quickly strategized.

It was not as easy as on the sea, where hundreds of thousands of people were at war in the sea battle.

At that time, they had Hope One and had access to powerful firepower and several special abilities. The Light Empire would be small fry to them.

They would be able to fire a few rounds of artillery, and then a few back-and-forth invasions.

Even if hundreds of thousands of foreign races surrounded them, Su Mo would not be afraid at all.

However, today, without knowledge of the enemy’s true strength, the strength of a single individual was extremely weak in this kind of land war that involved tens of thousands of people.

If anyone was arrogant enough to rush out of the city or toward the inner city, then at the moment the Light Empire caught them and their forces’ backup arrived, they would face only one end. There would not be a second chance.

“Turner, go to our house and bring all our weapons.

“Everyone gather around and choose your template. Take whatever you’re familiar with or anything that can improve your combat skills and fuse them to your mark quickly!”

Most of the templates purchased earlier were Level 1 or 2 ability templates.

However, compared to the templates, a Level 1 cyborg butler was much stronger than them.

The enemy’s shouts gradually closed in, and the mercenaries did not hesitate. They quickly picked templates that they were familiar with, grabbed their standard weapons, and rushed to the front hall.

“Go, take care of yourself!

“Once things get to a point where there’s no other option, you can report our names. Whatever you do, prioritize your own safety.”

Su Mo picked up an iron knife and handed it to Hao Qiang. He watched as the latter nodded firmly and ran to the basement.

Su Mo squinted his eyes and turned his head.

War represented turmoil and great risks.

However, there was also unimaginable profit behind wars at the same time!

It was the same for the Light Empire, who was launching the attack, and the Demon clan within the city.

Once you seize the opportunity during an upheaval, take advantage of the situation, and complete the most primitive capital accumulation…

Then one could save countless troubles in the days to come and take a big step ahead of everyone!

“Turner, are you ready?”

He sheathed the iron knife at his waist and wiped the hammerhead that had not seen blood for a long time. Su Mo was able to calm down as the time for combat quickly drew closer, and a trace of emotion flashed in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was left frightened and trembling just from a chameleon lying in a tree, and he was traumatized for a few nights after that incident.

Once upon a time, he could only muster up the courage to face an enemy with Oreo by his side.

Who would have thought that an ordinary clerk from Earth could become entirely accustomed to the rules of a post-apocalyptic world in less than a year and turn into a cold-blooded killer?

Who would have thought that in the face of the approaching enemy, he was eager for it to come!

People go through growth.

Inadvertently, on this road to becoming a strong man…

Even Su Mo himself had begun to slowly discover that his mentality, including his abilities, had undergone radical changes compared to the past.

Standing on the other side, Turner had the urger to say something and opened his mouth.

However, his trembling and tense body had completely taken away his ability to stay focused.

He could only make an unconscious mutter to Su Mo’s question.

Unlike the front door, which was nearly half a meter thick with iron and solid wood doors…

The back door was not conspicuous and it was covered by a big tree, which made it difficult for enemies to find it.

However, the thickness of the wooden door was less than ten centimeters!

It would only take a few attacks to break it open and enter if the other party had the strength higher than Level 3.

The outcome would be unpredictable if many Level 3 opponents were faced by two Level 3 auxiliary professional dwarf craftsmen!

In the tense situation, every minute and second of waiting was long and torturous.

Apart from Su Mo, everyone in the courtyard felt as if three or five minutes were like an hour or two had passed, which was highly stressful.

Of course, Su Mo did not stay idle in the backyard either.

He analyzed the change of the position of the fire as well as the volume of the nearby shouting and killing, plus he simulated a map of the nearby streets.

A rough map of the enemy’s attack route had quietly emerged in his mind.

The enemy’s attack was not directly from the city gate, but rather it was like a tunnel battle that broke out directly below the ground of Freedom City.

By doing so, they could create an advantageous situation from the start.

As for the specific division of troops, although he could not observe from a bird’s-eye view, it could also be analyzed by listening to the surrounding sounds.

The offensive pressure in the direction of the inner city was the strongest. The sound of rumbling explosions and fierce fire could be heard from time to time.

The second target was the main road. The Light Empire did not let up the pressure there because of the flow of people and cut off the Demon clan’s escape routes.

Further down, three city gates that led out of the city were also filled with thousands of enemies, madly slaughtering civilians who tried to escape from the city.

Of course, this division of forces had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that the Light Empire did not need a lot of energy to cause tremendous and incredible damage to the Demon clan.

The disadvantage was that many people who fled to other remote streets at the start were difficult to pursue, and they could only let them run around.

“Wait, people are here!

“Stay alert!”

Unlike the hasty footsteps before, among the noises, Su Mo could clearly identify neat footsteps approaching.

In the chaotic state of the city, saying that a group of people was coming over with no motive would be a lie.

Additionally, the back door was located on a remote street. Su Mo was not naive enough to think that these people were targeting someone else.

They obviously had ill intentions!

Su Mo waved his hands and motioned Turner to hide at the obstacle opposite the back door and turned back around to hide at a spot that was hard to see at first glance.

Clomp!

Clomp!

The sound of shoes stomping on the ground was getting closer and closer. It was like a horror movie, making one heart race.

“Is this the place?”

“According to the list and the map, it should be around here. Spread out and find where their back door is!”

Suddenly, two unfamiliar voices could be heard from the outside.

As soon as he heard the words “list” and “map,” even Turner reacted this time.

However, before he could go back to gather the mercenaries at the front door to defend themselves from the enemy together, there was a surprised voice from the back door again!

“I found it! It’s here!”

His words were only a few seconds apart.

The Demon clan, who were experts at disguise, stealing, and eavesdropping, were finally having a taste of their own medicine.

Before they realized it, the people of the Light Empire had not only drilled a tunnel underground in their city but even got details of the big households there.

They had such thorough preparations that even if the Demon clan were lucky enough to survive this disaster, they would inevitably fall soon enough!

While thoughts were running wild in their minds, there was a loud banging on the door. Cracks visible to the naked eye began to expand on the wooden boards and then slowly turned into a dense pattern, spreading throughout the door.

Seconds later, a strong force came crashing again, and the wooden door collapsed, smashing it into pieces.

“Attack! Whoever kills Harl and Turner will be rewarded five gold. The rest will be 50 silver per kill!

“Those below Level 3 do not have to hand over whatever they have seized, and those above Level 3 only need…”

A group of cyborgs who spoke strangely, dressed in different clothes, and looked utterly different rushed into the courtyard.

Looking at the neat and undamaged interior, the group leader licked his lips and hurriedly announced the reward and punishment rules.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, a hammerhead had already fallen from the sky and smashed down on him.

Bang!

The sound was no less than the wooden door being smashed to the ground. In plain view of the other cyborgs, the moment the hammer had hit their leader’s head, which seemed to be solid as steel, his head was visibly dented. It was evident that he would not survive.

The cyborg people took a step back in fear, but the hammer had changed direction again in that second.

A man with transformed hands who seemed to have extraordinary strength was smashed with the hammer and died on impact.

In less than a second, two out of ten in the group were killed in a flash.

However, at this point, they were still unable to identify the location of the enemy and how the hammer changed its course of attack.

Bang!

The third and fourth blows landed successfully without giving the enemies much time to think.

The remaining eight people were either killed or wounded, leaving only six who were able to fight.

Fortunately, this time they were finally able to spot the enemy clearly.

“You two are… Dwarf Harl and Turner?!”

According to the data they had collected, these two dwarves were merely Level 3 auxiliary profession dwarves.

In terms of combat power, their small team had cyborgs with different remodeled parts. A group of cyborgs that cooperated well, even if they were to face an enemy head-on, they would have no trouble fighting against twenty dwarf craftsmen, let alone a sneak attack.

However, none of them expected Su Mo to have such great strength that he was calm enough to plan a sneak attack on them.

Their ten-man squad had lost its leader and main combat power, so it went without saying what fate they were about to face.

Su Mo stayed calm and did not charge forward. Instead, he waited until the mercenaries guarding the front door rushed over, and he saw that the enemies were distracted.

He floated once again like a ghost and his sledgehammer struck hard, taking the lives of two enemies.

The tables had turned as the situation was now nine versus four.

“Don’t kill us. We surrender. We will withdraw from your compound immediately and promise not to come back with others for another attack!

“Once we all die and the captain senses something went wrong, he’ll send more people when the time comes…”

After they resorted to surrendering, the remaining four enemies completely gave up the idea of fighting.

Seeing that they had dropped their weapons, Su Mo paused momentarily and instructed the mercenaries to step forward and tie them up.

There would never be a shortage of deserters and surrendering soldiers on a battlefield.

In fact, there were records of rebellion on the battlefield and fighting against their own people in some famous battles.

Su Mo did not have to interrogate too much. He could neither clean the blood splatters on his clothes nor clean up the stain on the hammer before the remaining four gave up information.

“Harl, you’ve really become stronger. How did you…”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. When this turmoil is over, I will explain it to you!”

Seeing Turner holding the interrogation notes with a strangely excited expression, Su Mo smiled and took the paper.

The things recorded on the paper were not complicated. Of course, it was also possible that the Levels of the four cyborgs were not high.

The war started at ten o’clock that night, but they had other missions and wandered around the borders.

After the new task was issued, they were given a joint responsibility to look after each other and go all the way to the Demon clan territory to launch an attack.

As for their new task, it was not complicated.

The Light Empire had already obtained a complete map of the army distribution and resource distribution throughout Freedom City.

According to the degree of danger, the tasks were rated from Level 1 to 6.

Meanwhile, the resources were divided into ten Levels according to the abundance.

Among them, the powerhouse Sky Dome Exchange that was ruled by Level 6 individuals had a danger rating marked as a red Level 6, and the resource abundance rating was ten.

Meanwhile, the Fire Exchange, which had only two Level 3 auxiliary profession dwarves leading it, had a danger rating of only… Level 2!

The resource abundance rating was only Level 4!

A Level 3 team of cyborgs could receive tasks below Level 4.

However, they were timid and wanted a promising target. Therefore, they chose a safer option, the Fire Exchange, a Level 2 task as their first target.

This is also the reason why they chose to attack from the back door without fear of revealing their intentions.

“No wonder no one came to us. Turns out we’re only a Level 2 task. There must be a bunch of Level 2 tasks for everyone on this map. This group must’ve been really unlucky to have come to us!”

“No way! How are we only Level 2? These people are obviously looking down on us!”

Seeing Turner’s smug look on his face knowing that they benefitted from it, Su Mo stretched out his hand and looked at the map with the same joy.

At first glance, the eye-catching red Level 6 tasks in the inner city caught his attention.

Extending from the city gate to the rear, the inner city was extremely dangerous, and there were even some unmarked dark reds and dark purples without descriptions.

In the outer city, as Turner said, in addition to the Level one danger rating of the refugee camp at the city’s gate, the lowest Level in the city started from Level 2.

After scanning the locations of several top ten exchanges and comparing the information collected, Su Mo immediately confirmed the map’s authenticity.

“If this is the case, we’re quite safe. Although we have a Level 4 resource abundance, Levels 4 and 4 were not much different in such a chaotic situation.

“Our street also has a Level 4 and 5 danger rating that will attract attention, so we’ve less to worry about.”

The side road where the Fire Exchange was located may seem peaceful on weekdays, but it was like a tiger’s lair had hidden dangers at critical moments.

There would be someone else to take the fall if something were to happen. After realizing that there would be no enemies coming to them so soon and analyzing the marks on the map, Su Mo was once again deep in thought.

The situation was extremely chaotic. If they were in human territory, then no matter what the situation was, Su Mo would unconditionally support and assist the humans.

However, he was in the Demon clan’s territory, and there was such a great opportunity in front of him. He recalled the mobile phone he saw that sold for 40,000 to 50,000 points during the day…

The idea of ​​taking advantage of the unfortunate situation and becoming rich overnight rushed through Su Mo’s mind!

‘There are four exchanges selling imported goods in the outer city, and they are all exchanges with a danger rating of Level 6.

‘If I were to go alone, it would be filled with danger and obstacles. It would be hard to take advantage of it without exposing my actual abilities.

‘But as long as someone rushes in first…

‘As long as I have enough time to switch forms and open up the storage space. I could empty a store in merely ten seconds.

‘I wouldn’t have to worry about achieving great things in the future!’
