After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1962

Chapter 1962: Tools in Action (Part 2)

In the research center, more than a hundred people with human shields arrived in droves. Two evacuation centers had been breached, though handled as swiftly as possible, they still lost a lot of people.

Now, more and more people had reached outside the Research Center, determined to take the research and the researchers!

The Research Center was naturally highly defended. It has several loose sentries, and had more than a hundred guards and loyal mercenaries guarding it.

Now, with the sentries rendered semi-useless, the guards had an extra hard time defending the doors and lower windows.

Several elementalists also had to continuously shoot down (with arrows or elements) the higher leveled ones who could jump a bit higher than others, some going straight to a third floor window.

Fortunately, they also had archers stationed at the roof area of the Research Center and some buildings around it. Sentries might have less use here, as they’d likely tag those with hostages as allies, while humans could at least differentiate.

However, with the increase in number of enemies, after several hours of guarding the place, some leaks were inevitable.

For example, there was a level 30 wind user burst himself up with his element, heading straight to the fourth floor! He threw a bomb assigned to him right at its window.

The windows of the research center were all reinforced tempered glass, so actually destroying them quickly did need some effort.

In fact, defense arrays were also being studied for glass, but for now it was still an undergoing study. As of now, this was just reinforced glass that could break after some show of force.

BANG!

Sacrificing a few meat shields, some Alterran some allied, the wind user once again jumped to enter this opened window.

Who’d have thought that after entering, before he could even cross one turn—

BANG!

"AHH!" he screamed as a sharp pain smacked him on the face. It felt like he was hit by a heated stone, except its impact speed was akin to that of a level 40 and above.

He was hit right at the face, where his defense equipment could not protect him.

This was Lin, holding out a gun. Or what was one.

This gun was just a prototype. The only one so far, and her hand was shivering from the recoil, even bruised. She wouldn’t be able to use her hands for a while.

And worse, the gun itself was broken after a single shot.

Sigh.

She still had a lot of work to do.

...

This side of the building was breached like this, and the other sides were not particularly safe either. After all, they were surrounded by enemies, all of which had higher levels than 99% of the people inside the Research Center.

The Grandmasters were here too, though they could only defend. At their level, if they dared attack, they could really die.

In some areas of the Research Center, the enemies threw in various smoke bombs, some poisonous and some were paralytic, mostly the latter. The quantity wasn’t small either.

Valov had obviously prepared several plans in this, spending hundreds if not thousands of gold each plan, and the number of smoke bombs that entered the broken windows was no joke.

If it weren’t for the wind users inside who could push out the smoke and control them, it was estimated they’d have been disadvantaged for a few more hours.
