Chapter 399: Chapter 256: The Fall of Settlement Camp 3

Third Settlement Camp, atop the city wall

The City Lord and head of the City Defense Army of the Third Settlement Camp stood atop the wall, commanding the battle.

Bullets and shells poured down frantically.

The Superpower Users also joined the battle, attacking Fatty Bai.

Although they had already initiated an emergency evacuation plan, the city still needed to be defended.

If they didn’t try, how would they know for sure it couldn’t be held?

Besides!

They also needed to buy as much time as possible for the evacuation team.

Among the monster horde, there weren’t just ordinary Level 1 Monsters, but also a large number of Level 2 and Level 3 Monsters.

Their speed was extremely, extremely fast.

A sufficient distance had to be maintained to prevent them from tracking.

“Keep firing! Shoot them hard! Let’s see how tough these monsters really are.”

The City Lord shouted into the walkie-talkie.

He did not leave the Settlement Camp at the first opportunity.

The emperor guards the gates, the king dies with the nation!

As the City Lord of the First Settlement Camp, his presence here at this time was necessary.

If even he left, the soldiers would have no morale whatsoever.

The Settlement Camp would be breached in no time.

Inside the city!

All kinds of supplies were being quickly loaded onto trucks, one after another streaming out of the Settlement Camp.

At this moment, a group of black-clad masked men appeared, armed with standard short blades, launching sneak attacks in several places.

A major battle ensued with the troops.

“Report, Secret Warehouse No. 3 has been overrun by a group of mysterious individuals; they have seized the Superpower Fruits inside.”

“Report, Convoy No. 6 was attacked, Container M32141 has been taken.”

“Report, this is Convoy No. 9, we were ambushed by black-clad men, Dr. M and Dr. Z have been kidnapped.”

…

The walkie-talkie transmitted a series of reports.

The City Lord’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

“Those bastards are taking advantage of the chaos!!!”

As the City Lord of the Third Settlement Camp, he naturally knew something about the black-clad masked men.

Chen Tianlei had already told him about the events at Maoshan.

They had also sent people to investigate, learning that the organization behind these individuals was extremely powerful.

Equality Association!

Ordinary people might not know about it.

But people like them, who held high positions before the apocalypse, were aware.

This was a group that drove people to distraction.

Before the apocalypse, they were already causing havoc.

Unexpectedly, in the apocalypse, not only did they not cease, they became even more excessive.

They actually came to stir up trouble at this time, stealing precious things from the Settlement Camp.

Superpower Fruits!

Now these things have become the foundation of sorts.

One Superpower Fruit is equivalent to one Superpower User!

This represents not only an increase in combat power, but also a means for the Settlement Camp to attract talent.

Now all of it was taken by the people of the Equality Association.

Moreover!

Some rare and precious materials, equipment, and even skilled experts were also taken away.

Damn them all.

“There’s a traitor, damn it! There must be a traitor within the leadership.”

The City Lord was furious, for the Equality Association to so precisely find what they wanted, someone must have leaked information.

And these were top secrets, known to very few.

“At such a time, colluding with the enemy, damn it, damn it!”

The City Lord was raging.

Yet he could do nothing about it.

Currently, all his forces were already deployed.

There weren’t any more people to spare for support.

Let alone dispatching Superpower Users.

Fortunately, those black-clad men were only targeting specific rare and important items.

Their manpower was limited.

“Report our encounters with the black-clad masked men to all the Settlement Camps, let them be cautious. Additionally, tell all convoys to strengthen their vigilance, and if attacked, hit them as hard as possible!”

“Yes!”

…..

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a loud explosion.

After striking the tenth punch, Fatty Bai punched a huge breach in the wall of the Third Settlement Camp.

Countless monsters flooded in like a tide.

The wall of the Third Settlement Camp was breached!

Gunfire, screams, and shouts filled the air.

The Third Settlement Camp, under the monster horde, held for three days, but was finally overrun.

In this battle, countless warriors perished.

Many Superpower Users fell.

However, they did achieve some results.

They took down one Fatty Bai.

Seriously injured another.

At the same time, aided by the Macedonian Array, they also killed countless monsters.

Nonetheless, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was too vast.

Even with their utmost efforts, they only managed to eliminate half of the monster horde.

The monsters wreaked havoc in the city.

Numerous civilians who didn’t have time to evacuate became their food.

It was a feast for the monsters!

The Third Settlement Camp was thus shattered.

Along with it, many scattered small settlements were also wiped out.

The same events were happening in various provinces.

In some provinces, not even a single Settlement Camp remained.

Refugees fled in all directions, seeking shelter in large Settlement Camps in neighboring provinces.

The black-clad men of the Equality Association also took action.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they looted vital supplies and kidnapped outstanding researchers.

…

Inside the villa

Wang Hao looked at the report in front of him, feeling his head spinning.

“What’s going on, how is it that so much grain isn’t enough? Is someone embezzling?”

He couldn’t understand!

The supplies he had stockpiled before had all been moved here by him.

Plus, the produce grown here, how could it not be enough?

“Have you even considered how many people we had before, and how many we’ve added now?”
