Chapter 167 New Year
Today is January 2025, 1 in the Gregorian calendar, but it is also New Year’s Eve in the lunar calendar of 28.
That is New Year’s Eve.
"Don't tell me that at the beginning, the city guards had the upper hand, but then the leader of the mutant beasts went crazy, and their fighting power suddenly increased, and more mutant beasts came. Guess what happened?" A wounded man was describing the scene at that time like an encyclopedia, and his description was very vivid.
"Stop teasing us and tell us quickly. Don't arouse our interest and then not tell us in the end." An irritable wounded soldier pounded the ground and roared.
"Oh, don't be angry, it's more interesting to say this."
The other wounded listened attentively.
"Oh, don't interrupt, let him continue." A wounded man said impatiently.
"What did you say?" The angry wounded man grabbed the collar of the wounded man who had just spoken.
Two angry wounded men were about to fight.
The wounded who was telling the story shouted, "Oh, stop fighting. Now the healing fruits have been eaten up. You are injured one by one or two. Where is the place to treat you? Isn't it okay for me to say it?"
The two irritable wounded stopped fighting and sat on the ground, and then the wounded who heard the story continued.
"Isn't it that the city guards are at a disadvantage?"
Everyone paid more attention after hearing this.
"When the city guards were at a loss, our main characters began to appear. I remember Li Mu and the other two began to assign tasks."
"Yu Shuaikang is in charge of military affairs. He is so cool. He directly set up the Heavenly Dragnet Tree that Li Mu is in charge of. The mutant birds flying in the sky were directly killed automatically by the branches and leaves of the Heavenly Dragnet Tree. Don't you think this is cool?"
"How do you know all this?" a wounded man asked in confusion.
"Because I'm just a small follower of the city guards, and I just happen to follow them to fight and arrange the battle situation." The wounded man smiled embarrassedly.
"Then go on."
The wounded man changed the position of his legs and continued to gesture, "Isn't the problem in the sky solved? By the way, let me tell you a little gossip. I feel that Yu Shuaikang, who manages the military, seems to have a crush on a girl."
"What do you mean?" Everyone would be curious about gossip, let alone saving them from dire straits.
"At that time, I saw Yu Shuaikang seeing a girl and often asking about her well-being. It was like a man and a woman were in love. Let's not talk about them. We have no right to interfere in their private affairs."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia continued, "After the situation was resolved in the sky, the leader of the mutant beasts was furious. After all, they were almost successful, but then this happened. The leader must have been unhappy and came up to join the battle himself. We were scared to death at the time and didn't think to ourselves, this is the end."
The wounded man from the Encyclopedia took a sip of water and paused. "I didn't expect that Li Mu was such a reliable guy. He awakened the War Treeman and merged with him. He used vines to form a giant bow and killed the mutant beast. Think about it, Li Mu and the Beast King are both level five. If Li Mu adds another piece of equipment, wouldn't he be extremely powerful? So we won this battle."
"Look at those mutant beasts who were beaten so badly that they ran away like clowns." The wounded man who read the encyclopedia laughed loudly, causing the other wounded men to laugh too. Then they all became excited and cheered.
The news of this incident spread among the people in a short time, making Li Mu and the other two like gods in Wanling City. People loved them wherever they went.
When Tang Anguo took Li Mu and the other two people walking in the peaceful Wanling City, they were surrounded by people giving them gifts. Everyone brought their most precious food to Li Mu and the other two, but Li Mu and the other two refused.
But everyone made wreaths for the three people and Tang Anguo to wear around their necks, and Li Mu and the other two could not refuse.
A grandmother raised the wreath to Li Mu and said, "Thank you, young man, otherwise all the people in Wanling City would be devastated."
Li Mu bent down and smiled, "Thank you, grandma. This is what we should do."
Yu Shuaikang put on the wreath and looked at Zhou Yimeng with a smile. He was a funny guy who suddenly became shy. "How is it?"
Zhou Yimeng pursed her lips and nodded.
Yu Shuaikang covered his mouth and laughed secretly at the back.
Everyone saw that Yu Shuaikang and Zhou Yimeng were in love and started to make a noise.
Yu Shuaikang opened his hands and signaled to everyone, "Don't be impatient, the time has not come yet."
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Yao Chengcheng also wore a wreath, and Li Mu and the other two walked on the stage, raising their hands together.
Yu Shuaikang shouted, "Everyone holds us high, and we hold everyone in our hearts."
After Li Mu and the other two left, time passed quickly. The mutant beasts were still attacking day and night. The scale of their attack this time was very small, and they seemed to want to attack in small waves, like surrounding a city with the countryside, and slowly disintegrate the Wanling City.
People were killed or injured. Although the scale was not large, it was enough to disturb people's hearts.
The mutant beasts are extremely intelligent. They are not satisfied with the first revenge on their kind for accidentally eating a kind of human food, so they start to attack with mutant birds with extremely fast flying speed. And they don't need too many of them. The defensive weapons installed by Li Mu and the other two next to the city guards are difficult to stop them. Otherwise, they would not have launched such a small-scale attack on the civilians.
People were injured repeatedly, and although the scale was very small, it still caused dissatisfaction.
"Aren't they said to be very powerful? Why did no one do anything about this? Could it be that because it's a small matter, they don't need to care?"
"That's right, we gave them all the nice words, and they were satisfied. But we, the common people, still suffered the same."
"Before, they said they were like gods. That's bullshit. They sent gifts and wreaths to them, but now this has happened and they don't care about anything."
"I think the talk about the three of them fighting is probably fake. The city defense must be almost over, and they came here to pick up the slack and become the protagonists in everyone's mind. In fact, they are nothing."
People's doubts began to spread among the public, and there were even rumors of lowering intelligence.
"They are not in league with the mutant beasts, are they? They come here pretending to defeat the mutant beasts, and then torture Wanling City in this way. And who knows if the mutant beasts have evolved? Didn't they evolve into this in the beginning? Who knows if they have evolved into human form? If that happens, it will really cause great suffering to all living beings in the future."
There are a few people among the public who believe in Li Mu and his two companions, and there are also people who think and are not influenced by others.
"What are you thinking about, buddy? This is simply a matter of low intelligence." As soon as the words were spoken, the two men started to wrestle.
"Stop fighting. Look."
Everyone was running away, and the two people who were fighting let go of each other and started running.
Among them, there was a mother running with her child. The mother’s physical strength was not as good as the child, and the child was too heavy, so he fell halfway behind everyone else and was caught by the mutant bird. The bird pulled the child out of the mother’s arms and started biting him.
The mother almost couldn't move when she saw this scene. The child's father immediately pulled the mother away and hid. The mother looked at the mutant bird biting the child with tears streaming down her face. The child's father grabbed the mother's hand, and the two held hands tightly, wishing they could tear the mutant bird opposite to pieces. But they couldn't change it. They had no ability, and could only watch the child being bitten alive.
After the mutant bird left, the child's mother hugged the body on the ground and cried in pain, attracting everyone to come out to see the scene. The people's hearts could not accept this scene. When the mother of a child saw this scene, although it was not her own child, she felt bad.
"Tell me, if the three guys inside are really powerful, would this kind of scene happen?" The speaker was a ferocious, muscular man.
"Look, this mother lost her own child. She must be so sad. Although it's not her own child, think about it, if the mutant birds are not eliminated one day, more children will be killed by them. Don't you think so? A mother doesn't want to see this scene. Since Li Mu and the other two don't show up, we will force them to show up." The muscular man continued.
"That's right, we need to resist and make them give us an explanation." This was what a thin man shouted and responded.
Everyone gathered together, forming a long line, holding banners in their hands, and began to parade through the streets again and again, resisting again and again. "How come you are so strong? You actually killed them all!"
Several people felt it was incredible, and they gathered together and praised Li Mu's strength.
Yao Chengcheng admired them very much, as these advanced beasts were extremely ferocious and few people could escape from their mouths.
But Li Mu managed to kill them all. His strength was too terrifying.
Everyone was guessing what level of strength Li Mu had reached. Facing everyone's praise, Li Mu behaved very modestly.
"Don't praise me, these are just small things."
Li Mu smiled and said that their strength was not worth mentioning at all.
"You are our savior, please accept our greetings!"
Thanks to Li Mu, they were able to escape danger. The people of Wanling City were grateful to Li Mu and they all regarded Li Mu as their savior.
"Don't bow down to me. I don't deserve it."
Now Li Mu is very prestigious among the people of Wanling City. He has saved them from danger several times. If it weren't for Li Mu, those advanced beasts would have swallowed up the entire city long ago.
Li Mu behaved very modestly, thinking that he did not deserve their thanks, as it was just a small contribution on his part, and he would be relieved as long as he saw the people of Wanling City out of danger.
"I really didn't expect that the people of Wanling City were in danger. These people are so hateful."
Li Mu thought of the crises and conflicts along the way. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the people if he hadn't met them.
"How much hatred does this place attract? What if there is another danger?"
After what happened just now, Yu Shuaikang felt extremely scared. He had just walked through the gates of hell. If he was not careful, he would be eaten by those advanced beasts, and it would be too late to regret it then.
"Now that we have just killed these advanced beasts, the other side already knows our strength, so there shouldn't be any danger in the short term."
After the war, Li Mu felt that Wanling City would not be in any other danger in the short term.
You should know that he also analyzed this. After learning that he killed the ancient ferocious beast, ordinary people would never dare to invade.
"That's great, as long as they are safe and sound!" After hearing Li Mu's analysis, Yao Chengcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
The fierce battle just now really left me with lingering fears. It was so scary that I still feel particularly scared now.
"We have been in this place for so long. Have we wasted too much time?"
Li Mu thought for a while and spoke to the two of them. After hearing what Li Mu said, Yao Chengcheng also felt that what he said made a lot of sense and nodded in response:
"Oh yeah, we've been here for a few months, and this is the first time we've stayed here for so long!"
They had never stayed in other places for so long, and the ferocious beasts in this place were indeed more difficult to deal with.
"Now that this place is out of danger for the time being, I think we can go and have a look somewhere else."
Li Mu suggested that staying here was not a solution as it was a waste of time and there were many other places that needed them.
"other places?"
"So where can we go?"
This made Yao Chengcheng feel a little confused. He couldn't think of where to go for the time being, but he also felt that he had to leave this place.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Our goal is to travel around the country to do justice and justice. We still have many places to go."
"You're right. Wherever you want to go, if there's any place you want to go, as long as you want to go, we'll go with you."
Yao Chengcheng also agreed. He said righteously that he would follow Li Mu no matter where Li Mu went.
"You are right. Our goal is to follow you and do good deeds. With us here, no one will dare to harm the world!"
Yao Chengcheng was very happy whenever he thought about being able to do good deeds, and he was happy to the core.
"I don't know. There are so many places now that we can't go to all of them. Why don't we just take it one step at a time and see if there is any place to stay nearby."
Both of them followed Li Mu's idea. Li Mu didn't know where to go, so now he could only suggest taking it one step at a time. Everyone agreed with Li Mu's opinion.
"If we just leave like this, what if the people here are attacked again? Who will protect them when we are not here?"
Although they have decided to leave, they are still very worried about the people here. Yao Chengcheng feels that although Wanling City will not be in danger for a while, they will not come back in a short time.
If they encounter greater danger at that time, they will not be able to come back to help, so everyone is very worried about the people here.
"Isn't there a West Lake Shelter? I can send them to the shelter, and then no one can hurt them!"
However, Li Mu had already thought of what they could think of. As long as they were sent to a safe place, they would not be harmed. Even if those people had ideas about this place, they would not be able to harm them.
"Then what should we do? I really want to help them!" Yao Chengcheng looked nervous and said that if there was anything he could help with, he would definitely do it.
"I don't need your help with this matter for now. I can do it alone."
Li Mu was very confident in himself and said that he could send these people to a safe place by himself.
"No matter how powerful you are, how can you get them all to the shelter by yourself?"
