There will be another update later, but it will be in the middle of the night. Everyone can check it out tomorrow~~
In the darkness, although people were aware that the number of sea beasts in this tide was terrifyingly high, it was difficult to see clearly, and with the sudden onset of battle, the inhabitants of the Inner City didn't have a vivid impression of this sea beast tide.
However, when dawn broke and the sunlight, which humans rely on for survival, illuminated the land, everyone finally realized what they were up against.
It was too much.
The number of sea beasts had reached a point where one could not see the end at a glance!
In peacetime, this term was often used to describe large quantities, but it was only now that people truly understood its meaning.
From a kilometer away from the Inner City, everywhere one's gaze fell was filled with various sea beasts. Even in the sky above, several dark groups of mutated seabirds appeared, hovering in the distance, coldly staring at the hundreds of thousands of human survivors in the Inner City.
How many could this possibly be?
This was a question that instinctively arose in everyone's mind, and even Ye Zhongming was no exception. At some point, he asked himself if he had to use an exact number to describe it, how many would it be?
Yet, no one could provide an answer.
"Boss, the Thunderstorm Tower has been moved over, and the defense change will be completed in half an hour," Little Tiger reported to Ye Zhongming, who was sitting on a pile of materials.
After the negotiations with the Radiance, the Ying City Alliance had shifted their defenses to the side of the city gate facing the sea, while the Heavenly Phenomenon War Department was responsible for the city gate facing the inland. The strongest forces in the Inner City began guarding the most dangerous locations.
Except for the Skyship Battle Corps, all the forces in the Inner City welcomed this change.
Ye Zhongming stood up to stretch and looked at the defense area, which had noticeably increased in width. His mood, which had worsened upon seeing the sea beast tide, improved a bit.
He took some time to cut two pieces of Drilling Sea Gold.
This was not an easy task; these two massive chunks were so huge that even with Ye Zhongming's strength, without the help of the blazing flame combat technique, he might not have been able to cut through them.
Compared to Ghost Gold, Drilling Sea Gold wasn’t as magical, but its abundance was undeniable. Each unit weighed significantly more than Ghost Gold, and Ye Zhongming had divided it into over ten thousand portions.
There was no space to store it; he could only stack it on the city wall and let his subordinates carry it away in batches when the time came.
"Zhongming." After arranging the defenses, Mo Ye approached him. After becoming an evolver, her demeanor had grown even more ethereal, perhaps related to her profession as a symbol master.
"What’s up?"
In front of Ye Zhongming were two hundred portions of Drilling Sea Gold. He planned to enhance these materials and see how many high-quality materials he could obtain.
"Everyone is wondering why the sea beast tide isn’t continuing to attack. I think I may have found part of the reason."
"Oh? Go on."
Ye Zhongming continued his actions, merging two fist-sized pieces of Drilling Sea Gold. A layer of gray halo immediately appeared on the newly formed piece.
Seeing such a miraculous scene was nothing new for Mo Ye, but a hint of obsession remained deep in her eyes.
"We discovered that the number of sea beasts is still increasing."
Ye Zhongming paused for a moment, “Still increasing?”
"Yes, just in the area directly in front of us, at first glance, it seems unchanged, but in the span of an hour, the density has increased a bit. For a massive gathering of sea beasts like this, even a slight increase in density could represent a significant number."
Ye Zhongming quietly listened, and the two hundred portions of Drilling Sea Gold quickly reduced to one hundred.
