Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 107 Beast Horde Charge

"Xiao En, have you forgotten the determination you made before you came out? If you don't make enough contributions, you'll be trampled underfoot by that bastard for the rest of your life!" another man whispered.

It seemed that these words were what provoked him, causing Park Tae-eun, who was sitting on the ground, to grit her teeth, support herself, and stand up shakily.

He also took out a baton from his pocket.

"That's right! I do possess weapons capable of directly confronting these mutated beasts!"

Seeing that he had regained his fighting spirit, the other two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

It seemed as if as long as he dared to fight, the current situation was no longer a crisis.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Just then, a voice came.

The three looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.

"Up there, look up!"

In mid-air, Wu Ou looked down at the three people who were surrounded.

If it weren't for the fact that the source beasts here were all under his control, they would have been killed by this group of source beasts long ago after falling.

"What is this?"

"Exoskeleton armor!"

"Really? Isn't that something from a science fiction movie?"

The three looked up and saw Wu Ou, especially his metal armor. Like many others, they exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

Wu Ou didn't want to explain further. He controlled the energy beast to make way for them while signaling them to get out quickly.

Over there, the captain of the guard team had already sent men. The three of them had just left the danger zone when they were surrounded by the guards.

"We are from the Consortium Alliance. He is a strong contender for the position of head of the number one consortium family, and we request to see your representative!"

The woman showed no fear at all when she saw the neatly dressed people in front of her.

"Captain, this..." A guard looked conflicted. The other party's sudden appearance and accent made it a special case.

This wasn't included in the previous emergency response plan!

Approaching, the guard captain spoke sternly, "We are on a mission. All we can do right now is protect your safety. Please cooperate." After gesturing to his team members, he returned to his post.

Watching the security captain leave without a word, Park Tae-eun muttered under her breath, "How rude!"

But then a guard looked over, and he quickly lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"What are they trying to do?"

"A hunt, perhaps? But those mutated beasts just now seemed to be controlled!" The woman said, expressing her somewhat unbelievable assessment, as she looked at Wu Ou, who was flying in mid-air.

This technology, at least for now, is something that no force in their area can provide.

Boom boom boom boom!

An explosion was heard, followed by a flash of fire, and the shockwave caused the three of them to immediately drop to the ground and cover their heads.

Da da da da—

The sound of machine guns then rang out, reminding them of something terrifying, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Sister, are we going to die here?!" Park Tae-eun finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

"No, don't be afraid! We, we still have information about the beasts on the mountaintop, which can definitely be exchanged for a chance to survive!" Although the woman was still trembling, she tried her best to comfort him.

When the gunfire stopped, she was the first to look up.

"Hey, you three, stand up right now!" The guard's voice rang out, and she immediately stood up, pulling her younger brother up as well.

At this moment, Wu Ou descended from the sky and landed in front of the three people.

"You just said you have information about the situation at the summit? You've already reached the summit?"

Based on the current progress at the Baicanshan base, and considering his memory of the situation at Baicanshan Mountain, the other side shouldn't be moving this fast.

Although the other side has some equipment advantages overall, in essence, the two sides, the family and the conglomerate alliance, are still vying for supremacy.

While the family side has maintained its population advantage, it is still a burden until food freedom is achieved.

Although the conglomerates acquired a considerable amount of weaponry and equipment from the foreign affairs port, the consumption over the past six months, coupled with their initial lack of emphasis on winning over the lower-level members, has resulted in the fact that while each individual conglomerate is quite powerful, the entire conglomerate alliance is no match for the family-based ones.

It was only because the issue of the foreign affairs port was resolved that the conglomerate alliance was not so hostile to the family side, and the family side currently lacked the power to forcibly merge with the conglomerate side that a tacit cooperation situation was formed.

The discovery of the Tianjingchi ruins at Baicanshan gave both sides an opportunity to "work together".

During the development of the world before the rebirth, both sides acquired some technologies and agreed to analyze them together.

However, the two sides were not on good terms and secretly resorted to underhanded tactics, which led to the defense line being easily breached when the Ocean Energy Beasts launched a large-scale attack.

Of the original two groups, only about one-tenth remained, and they were able to successfully merge into one later.

More importantly, the alliance between the two sides, which had completely lost its own potential at that time, finally chose to accept the Dragon Kingdom's rescue and their relationship with the Dragon Kingdom became much closer.

It's similar to what happened in ancient times in the Dragon Kingdom, or even more advanced.

But this time...

Honestly, if the entire alliance continues to reject the Dragon Kingdom, it will cause a lot of trouble for the Dragon Kingdom's future actions.

But considering the few remaining talents from both sides, and the requirements for assessing civilization potential...

With a sigh in his heart, Wu Ou calmed himself down and gestured for the other party to speak.

"We're just on a scout mission, exploring the mountaintop area. In reality, the main force of the family and conglomerate alliance hasn't even reached the mountainside yet!" The woman stepped forward, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she finished speaking.

Then, looking at Wu Ou, or more precisely, at the armor on Wu Ou's body, he said, "This is real, isn't it? Can you sell us a set? We can give you fifty source crystals, how about that? Or do you want anything else?"

Putting aside the technical sophistication of Wu Ou's armor, even its mere use could create a certain deterrent effect, which is something their family needs.

"Sorry, this is related to my ability; I can't sell it."

Also, it's time to deliver on your promise regarding the information about the beast herd on the mountaintop.

"After all, you can't live here without making any contributions!" Wu Ou smiled slightly.

The woman's smile froze for a moment, but then she nodded. "No problem, but we need to be guaranteed basic food and lodging, and you must not mistreat us."

After establishing the connection between the two sides, we can also help you get in touch with them.

Once she realized that the other side didn't adhere to basic diplomatic rules during peacetime while on their territory, she quickly adjusted her attitude.

On the other side, at the foot of the mountain on the other side of Baicanshan, within the peninsula.

In a heavily fortified base, a man in military uniform looked at several men in suits opposite him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Gentlemen, I have made myself very clear. According to the previously agreed-upon rules, the people sent by both sides are voluntarily accepting the scout mission."

They didn't return having completed their mission, and I haven't pursued the matter according to military law, which is already out of consideration for you.

"Now you want me to send someone to find them?" He sneered twice and served tea to see the guest out.

Over here, several men in suits looked rather grim. Before they could speak, a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in!"

"General, something terrible has happened! The mutated beasts on the mountain are starting to swarm down!"
