At the outer edge of the distant defensive line, more than sixty combat professionals were covering the retreat of other members.

The man in the lead had lost his left forearm.

Behind them, a healer was performing a treatment with all their might.

However, this healing professional is of a lower rank and has not yet advanced to the transcendent rank, so their healing abilities are limited.

Even though the man's arm was tightly wrapped in bandages, blood was still dripping from it.

The man, completely disregarding his injuries, held a short-handled staff in his hand.

It kept throwing balls of lava, each the size of a football, at the surging zombies.

These magma masses will explode immediately upon contact with the living dead.

The splashed lava will cause damage over an area of ​​nearly 20 square meters.

"Old Yu, at this time, obey orders and follow commands!"

"You retreat with them. They don't need your treatment here!"

The healer, known as Lao Yu, pursed his lips and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Class monitor, I'm not leaving. I'm the only healer in our class."

"When we were divided into classes, I vowed that I would never abandon any of my brothers in the class."

"If I were to retreat now, wouldn't that make me a deserter from our Hanguang City Guard 16th Squad?"

"Dahua, just bear with it for now. After I finish treating the class monitor's hand, I'll treat the injury on your back."

"These monsters are insane; they used broken bones to cut through your leather armor."

"If this wound were any deeper, it would expose the spine!"

Everyone in the 16th squad of Han Guang City's city guards knows that Lao Yu is the most timid.

He is called Lao Yu because he is actually twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

However, he had a full beard and looked like a man in his fifties.

Back when I was in the shelter, whenever someone told ghost stories at night...

They would be so scared that they couldn't sleep for half the night.

But now, facing these living corpses...

The battle lasted for nearly twenty minutes, until it was clear that everyone who needed to evacuate from this area had already retreated to the rear.

The prolonged battle had left everyone's mental energy somewhat depleted.

The squad leader, who had lost an arm, looked around and saw that almost everyone was injured.

The brothers of the 16th squad of Hanguang City Defense, who have already lost two-thirds of their men and are now exhausted, are on their last legs.

Wu Jian's eyes reddened.

When he received the guard assignment, Wu Jian's eyes didn't turn red!

When his arm was severed, Wu Jian's eyes didn't turn red!

Looking at his brothers, Wu Jian felt his eyes welling up with tears.

However, as the squad leader and the leader of the 16th squad of Hanguang City Defense, Wu Jian was very clear about his responsibilities.

"All members of Class 16, those who can still move, retreat immediately."

"Those who can't move, come with me and hold this pass."

"Don't let these zombies come over. Buy the brothers some time."

After saying these words, Wu Jian, a professional with A-level talent, wished he could be like a superhero in a movie.

He unleashed a powerful attack by sacrificing himself to block the zombie horde.

This allows other comrades to carry those brothers who have difficulty moving to the rear.

However, as a professional with only A-level talent, he had no means to sacrifice his mental energy to temporarily unleash powerful combat strength.

Old Yu's hands didn't stop; he continued the treatment, saying something as he spoke.

"Squad leader, you only lost an arm, your leg isn't broken, you can still retreat."

Wu Jian seemed not to hear, and continued to fight alongside his teammates.

After a dozen seconds, no one else retreated.

Wu Jian couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Are they going to ignore me, the class monitor?"

"Old Wang, you just got married!"

"Xiao Zhao, you finally managed to bring your parents to Han Guang City."

"You can all move, run!"

"Do we all have to die here?"

"Not now..."

Before Wu Jian could finish speaking, he discovered that the pass guarded by the 14th and 15th squads of Han Guang City had been breached by the zombie horde.

The horde of zombies has already poured in from another gate.

Together with the horde of corpses outside, they formed a pincer movement.

Even if a god descended to earth at this moment, he couldn't escape.

They are destined to be torn to pieces by these living corpses!

From the moment I saw this surging tide of corpses, I knew I would die here.

Everyone has come to their senses.

How could the resolve of someone who carried it in their heart before transmigrating disappear after transmigrating?

Suddenly, someone started wailing in a hoarse, off-key voice.

Immediately following at this small juncture, all was in harmony.

A tiny yet exceptionally magnificent "soul" permeates the military song.

Just then, a dragon's roar resounded across the sky.

A giant dragon with reddish-purple scales and a wingspan of over eighty meters swooped down.

With overwhelming force, it spewed out a mouthful of dragon flame.

Hundreds of living corpses were ignited by this dragon flame and instantly burned to ashes.

The dragon flames were able to spread among the living corpses, and in no time, thousands of living corpses were burned to ashes.

A heat wave swept towards Wu Jian and the others.

Although the heatwave made their skin ache, it did not cause any real harm to Wu Jian and the others.

The giant dragon roared at Wu Jian and the others, and then spewed out a burst of dragon flame at the pass.

This directly restricted the movement of the zombie horde.

Even if Wu Jian and the others were stupid, they would understand that reinforcements had arrived!

Old Yu collapsed to the ground as if he were completely exhausted.

"Class monitor...are we saved?"

Wu Jian, having regained his senses, didn't waste a second and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Those who can move, carry those who can't. We need to retreat immediately."

This scene was playing out repeatedly on the outer defense line of Coldlight City.

Wu Wenbin has already sent Lin Xu the defense map of the outer city line of Hanguang City.

There are only four checkpoints in total, three of which are small checkpoints and one is a large checkpoint.

Lin Xu's shelter is heading towards the largest pass.

Lei Yan, Shuang Long, and Chi Dian each headed to a small pass.

The thirty white speed dragon hunters were responsible for covering the professionals who were withdrawing from the outer defensive line.

Kill all the undead that are chasing the retreating professionals, and help them return safely to the inner city defenses.

For the Gu worm eggs that control the zombies to develop in the professional's brain, it takes at least 48 hours.

The medicinal soup made from the gold-grade insect-killing lemongrass and the silver-grade purple ring udon only needs to be boiled for two hours before it can be consumed.

These gold and silver grade plant-based rare animals are not cheap.

However, the decoction made from just two herbs can screen nearly five hundred people.

This resource will definitely have to be spent on the Red Tide Fortress.

To ensure that they are not parasitized, it is not only these professionals who have retreated to the inner layer of defense that need to be screened.

And all the professionals in the entire Coldlight City.

Otherwise, if even one fish escapes the net, the entire Coldlight City will be plunged into another disaster.

Lin Xu looked at the professionals who were seriously injured by the zombie horde everywhere, and after a moment's thought, he said to Xu Jie.

"Ah Jie, Wu Wenbin probably asked you for help too, right?"

"You and Duoduo take Pang Mimi to Coldlight City to help treat the wounded."

"Ordinary healers do not have the ability to regrow severed limbs."

Xu Jie nodded heavily.

Xu Jie had not previously revealed his talent as a healer.

But at times like these, it's better to keep your healing talents hidden.

Why not become a savior!

A wise man who keeps his talents hidden away is better off helping all people.

"Boss, let Fatty Mimi follow you."

"It's enough for Duoduo to stay with me."

"In a moment..."

Before Xu Jie could finish speaking, Lin Xu spoke very seriously.

"I can only feel at ease when Fatty is protecting your safety."

"Although Duoduo possesses SSS-level talent, her combat strength is extremely high."

"However, if an unexpected situation arises, it will be difficult to cope without the combat power of a Fantasy-rank."

"Besides, Fatty Mimi was always with you before. It makes more sense for you to bring her along."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie nodded heavily once again.

With a serious expression, he took out the Forest Spirit Staff, a platinum-grade weapon suitable for his use.

In fact, Wen Yan equipped Xu Jie with two or three diamond-level healing weapons.

However, if he wants to treat more wounded soldiers, given Xu Jie's current extraordinary rank, using a platinum-grade weapon would be the most suitable option.

As Xu Jie left Lin Xu's shelter, he took out his communication device and replied to Wu Wenbin.

Zhao Shuaicheng also relayed the message to Wu Wenbin in the group chat.

Knowing that Lin Xu came to help the Red Tide Fortress guard the pass, and that Xu Jie had also responded in the group chat.

Before Lin Xu and Xu Jie spoke, even if the various forces did not send troops to help the Red Tide Fortress overcome its difficulties.

They also extended a helping hand in terms of resources.

Large quantities of gold-grade lemongrass and silver-grade purple ring udon were sent to Hanguang City.

The aroma of medicine permeated the inner defensive line as thousands of large pots simultaneously simmered the medicinal broth.
