Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 319 Plague Witch (Bonus Chapter 710 for Alliance Mainstream Starry Night)

Today will be a very important day.

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Wei woke up slowly from her sleep, feeling great.

He slowly finished washing up, silently put on his armor and weapons, and his whole aura changed, becoming like a silent mountain. Even just walking over slowly, the heavy pressure was enough to make Ah Dai, who was still in his sleep, tremble.

"Hey, you idiot, time to get to work."

"quack?"

It let out two reluctant cries, and without even daring to beg for food, Ah Dai fluttered away. It could sense that Li Wei was in some danger today.

However, it also knew that a great battle was about to take place today.

So there are no conditions to discuss; it needs to first make a trip along the route to see if any foolish thieves have cut off the road.

We should also check the conditions along the way and the availability of alternative routes.

There are actually three routes that can be taken if you travel 500 li westward from this place.

There is a highway, but it's a long detour of over 800 kilometers, and one of the bridges is broken, so you have to take a side road.

There are two other highways, one of which goes directly to the base and passes through the small town.

Another route is to cross the river and head south to another county town, then turn towards the port camp.

In short, I, Ah Dai, have truly made great contributions to this supply transport.

However, Li Wei didn't care. He seemed unaffected, went downstairs, carried a four-star quality log, and went straight to the rooftop. Without needing any other tools, he started cutting it with an enchanted dagger.

He wasn't doing this to sharpen his sword at the last minute, hoping it would be sharp even if it wasn't, but rather to entertain distinguished guests.

Four-star logs are already very precious, let alone arrow shafts cut from them.

Because this log can only be cut into four arrow shafts. No, Li Wei only allowed four to be cut out. It's not a waste; it's just to find the stress changes within it.

Although it was only a very small numerical difference, for an archer of Li Wei's caliber, the arrows he shot were no longer ordinary arrows.

If the four destiny elements resonate, along with the destiny weapon's resonance, the initial velocity of the arrow at that moment can even approach twice the speed of sound.

A 700% increase in power is no joke.

At such a speed, even the smallest flaw will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.

Therefore, assuming he has a four-star quality enchanted bow, his hunter's fate is already at 56, and his maximum strength is already at 45, what he needs is at least a four-star quality sniper arrow.

Samsung and below, that's just self-deception.

It is an insult to the enemy.

A second-tier spellcasting witch is definitely a distinguished guest.

Time flew by, and dawn broke, but Li Wei remained oblivious.

Ah-Dai is back, still a bit grumpy from being woken up. It tried to fan a strong wind to tease Li Wei, but it was startled and immediately quieted down when it got within thirty meters, just like a humble bird.

Li Wei ignored him, seemingly immersed in his own world.

The head chef, Alan, wanted to go up to the rooftop to call him for dinner, but after only glancing up once, he dared not show his face again. It wasn't that Li Wei had any terrifying murderous aura, but rather that the air around him seemed to be frozen, and getting close to him made one feel like they couldn't breathe.

Outside the city walls, Thomas, Leon, Javier, and their group of fourteen were ready. They didn't wait for Li Wei to see them off, nor did they need to. They boarded the enchanted war chariot and set off.

The car is traveling at a steady speed of 80 kilometers per hour. On such a flat and unobstructed paved road, it will take at most three or four hours to reach the destination.

Ah-Dai set off a moment earlier, leading by twenty miles, to monitor all roads and fields along the way and ensure that any ambushes would be detected immediately.

Li Wei was still cutting his arrow shafts, having already finished two. Zhao Xuanxuan came up and took them, installing enchanted arrowheads and the best quality feathers she could find.

Li Wei didn't need to give any prior instructions; she would naturally prepare for it. However, for the time being, she could only craft three-star quality enchanted arrowheads, paired with five-star quality shafts, three-star feathers, and special fish glue borrowed from Li Yue. In the end, she could only produce four-star enchanted armor-piercing sniper arrows.

Of course, this is already quite impressive, with damage almost twice that of a three-star sniper's armor-piercing arrow. But most importantly, it is stable, fast, and accurate. The sharp edges of the arrow, almost the size of a palm, gleam with a cold light, and people would believe it if they thought it was a javelin.

Zhao Xuanxuan knew that Li Wei had probably made another breakthrough.

Of course, she didn't actually know; she knew nothing at all.

Li Wei certainly didn't break through; he wasn't the kind of genius who could break through on the spot. This was just his true strength being revealed.

This is the highest point he could reach after frantically increasing his attributes last month, and after more than twenty days of training with the free soldiers and this period of reflection.

Two days ago, he finally gained a free attribute point by consuming high-quality food continuously, so he casually added it to agility, bringing his base agility to 40 points.

So now, he already has four attributes at level two awakening.

I'm just one defense away from achieving the level 2 awakening of all attributes.

So now, even though his attributes haven't increased excessively, his overall strength has steadily risen to another level.

So much so that when he was cutting arrow shafts, his movements were so precise and his concentration so intense that a small amount of his mental energy leaked out.

This is also why Ah-Dai was scared away, and why Chef Alan felt breathless when he got close.

There's nothing mysterious about it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Wei finally finished cutting the shafts of the four arrows. He called out, and Chef Alan, who had been waiting on the fifth floor, quickly brought up hot food. Zhao Xuanxuan brought up two four-star enchanted sniper armor-piercing arrows.

"These two don't need to be made anymore. Put on your armor and prepare for battle," Li Wei said calmly, his voice deep and powerful.

"you sure?"

Zhao Xuanxuan was stunned, completely bewildered. What was this battle about, and where was it taking place?

But she didn't say anything and went downstairs.

After eating, Li Wei closed her eyes, lay down in the huge and comfortable chair, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

It doesn't look like a battle is about to begin at all.

Yes, he wasn't worried at all.

The second-tier spellcasting witch thought she had everything under control, but in reality, he had discovered her plague mice spying on him several times over the past few days.

This tiny mouse, no bigger than a thumb, is incredibly silent. I don't know where it came from, but it even managed to squeeze into the building.

Even Ah Dai, for the first time ever, didn't notice it.

The only one they discovered was Li Wei. Ever since Liang Yuzhi's letter reminded him, he would switch his Tracker title every half hour to increase his perception by 5.
Sometimes you'll miss your target, but sometimes you'll catch that plague mouse.

He could watch this little thing move around silently and spread the plague without a sound.

Yes, if they were able to sneak in, how could they not release the plague?

But this was no problem for Li Wei. He wrote a letter to Liang Yuzhi and received a potion formula the next day. He then gave it to Isabel, who had not yet completed her apprenticeship, and her mother. Then, while the plague mice were away, he quickly prepared a large batch.

This batch of medicine has already been administered to everyone this morning.

This is also why Li Wei was very certain that the distinguished guest would arrive today!

She was also certain that she wouldn't attack the transported supplies, because compared to the supplies, Li Wei's head was what the other side really wanted.

Of course, just in case.

He had already given Thomas and Lyon instructions: in the event of an unforeseen and unavoidable emergency, they should prioritize disconnecting from the bus behind them, abandoning supplies, and focusing on saving their lives, as the second-tier spellcasting witch was beyond their ability to fight.

So what if that second-tier spellcasting witch destroyed the supplies?

She still hasn't achieved her goal.

Liang Yuzhi had already mentioned in her correspondence that the food crisis over there had been somewhat resolved thanks to fishing.

What they need most right now is people.

With enough soldiers to guard the house, they could go far away to chop firewood, and with firewood, the problem of heating in winter would be easily solved.

With the spare parts brought, the small nuclear power plant can be repaired, and everything will be back to normal by next spring.

With seeds, we can start farming. There's a river here for irrigation, so cultivating 100 mu is nothing, and 500 mu is no problem either.

The second enchanted war chariot is under construction. Li Wei has prepared ten units of magic power this time, which can be used to build two chariots in a row, as well as to create a large number of enchanted weapons.

Therefore, by looking beyond the surface, Li Wei could basically guess who sent this second-tier spellcasting witch. It wasn't Hathaway, but Zhao Kewu, who was currently ranked second!

Only he has the most urgent motive to cause trouble for Li Wei, or even kill him in one fell swoop!

And so, time passed by, minute by minute, and before we knew it, it was 10 a.m., and nothing had happened.

No, they've already arrived.

At that moment, Li Wei woke up silently. Standing on the rooftop, he could see more than 20 miles away at the end of the highway, where ten electric buses were speeding towards him.

interesting!
"Clang clang clang!"

At this time, the Free People soldiers on duty have already rung the alarm bell. Upon hearing the bell, the Free People will close the doors and windows, extinguish any open flames, and stop what they are doing, according to the pre-established plan.

Special personnel directed the orderly transfer of the elderly, women, and children to the second basement level.

Someone else is responsible for finishing up and making sure nothing is missed.

At the same time, all combat squads finished their rest, quickly put on their armor, and took their respective combat positions.

Following closely behind, the 150 reserve team members also assembled in their respective groups, received their weapons in an orderly manner, or entered their firing positions according to their groups. Two giant crossbows on the rooftop were also pushed out of their bunkers, and behind the firing ports on each floor, siege crossbows aimed their firing lines, ready to be deployed at any time.

The entire process was orderly and without any panic.

There are standards: the combat squad must be in combat position within 30 seconds, the elderly, women and children must be evacuated within three minutes, and all reserve members must be in combat position within five minutes.

This is no longer the dilapidated camp of a few months ago; it is now a powerful and influential force with strong organization, action, and combat capabilities.

If you want to snag a bargain, you'll have to wait!
In addition, there are a hundred free citizens brought back at the beginning of the month. They are still in the familiarization period and therefore cannot join the reserve team. However, they will be able to catch up and join the reserve team in at most another month. Some of the reserve team members can then be added to the combat squads.

A dozen minutes later, ten electric buses stopped at the foot of the southern city wall. Suddenly, cries for help rose and fell. It turned out that they had all become level two superhumans, that is to say, they were all infected with level two blood plague, just like Pete back then.

Even without a breeze, you could smell the strong stench of decay emanating from them, though they still retained their sanity.

Yes, when they discovered they were infected with blood plague, and specifically level two blood plague, their first thought was to open the door and come for help.

That second-tier spellcasting witch is quite the player.

Should we treat them the same way they treat us?
