Chapter 738 Victory in the Battle of Midtown

This man who jumped out of the center of the vortex of Heavenly Condemnation was tall and handsome. Although he was dressed in rags and dusty, he could not block his spirit and extraordinary demeanor. He was Lin Zaishan who had been missing for many days.

He snapped his fingers with a "snake". The midtown protective net, which was already close to complete collapse, instantly became as strong as before, inspiring thousands of code subnets to separate and intercept the insect swarm.

"Captain Lin", "Mr. Lin!" Everyone shouted in unison in ecstasy.

"yeah!" Schwaronson jumped high with joy, rode on the head of a Tyrannosaurus rex, and used his old fist.

Caroline, who was praying in the secret room, saw Lin Zaishan appearing through the surveillance screen, and cried with joy.

Wu Chaoqun, Du Ziming and others were motivated and fought back against the insect group.

Sun Zhenghong, He Xiaotian, and Huo Qiankun breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the chair. They were already worried and forgot to eat and sleep for several weeks. Now that Lin Zaishan is in charge, they can finally relax for a moment.

Lin Zaishan gently put Ye Jingying down and said, "Xiao Yezi, you protect yourself first. I have millions of insects to eliminate."

Ye Jingying nodded, reluctantly left his arms, cheered up, and continued to fight with everyone.

Lin Zaishan roared and turned into a lightning bolt and drilled into an octopus insect. Then, the octopus insect exploded, and blood, flesh and body fluids spilled all over the ground. Lin Zaishan used it as usual, killing all the octopus insects in just one minute and collecting their seventh-level star souls.

He then used level 8 superpowers to drive the holes of the landfill insects, such as soil, sand, building ruins, etc. His landfill was not simply stuffing things into the hole, but also changing the hard structure inside and outside the cave as a whole, and squeezing the insects inside out from the ground.

After his transformation for several minutes, not only all the caves invaded by the insect swarm were filled, but the overall defense level and fortification performance of the Midtown were also leaps forward.

With the complete recovery of the protection net and fortification structure of the Zhongcheng City, or even upgraded and updated, hundreds of thousands of insects that invaded Zhongcheng became turtles in the jar. Lin Zaishan did not stop and flew out of the city to attack the leaders of the Zerg tribes.

He is now a seventh-level star soul, and has marked many eighth-level star soul symbols, and his combat power is far more powerful than before. The Zerg leaders are only seventh-level star souls, and they all have many flaws. Lin Zaishan can easily break through their defense, invade and destroy their star soul genes and codes.

He tried to control the deployment by manipulating the leader of the insect swarm, but found that as long as he subdued a certain leader, there would be other leaders to replace and command the deployment under him. It seemed that the tactic of capturing the thief and capturing the king would not work before destroying all the leaders. However, this did not hinder his attack.

Lin Zaishan's attack was not just a slaughter. He would give priority to using the star soul encoding ability to control those high-level insects, and do everything possible to collect and transform the insect's star souls and reinstall them into the shell, so that they can fight for themselves. In the past, these work could only be carried out within a small range; but now, it can be carried out in large quantities.

On the suburban battlefield with a radius of more than 10 kilometers, Lin Zaishan weaved a code protection net and incorporated it into the Lin Fuzi system. After an hour, the coverage of the Zhongcheng protection net expanded several times, and its power also doubled accordingly.

At the same time, the armed forces in Zhongcheng were taking advantage of the situation to counterattack. The originally lost urban area was recaptured one by one. The Zhongcheng cannons can be reused, and they can conduct fixed-point sniping or area coverage attacks on targets within 100 kilometers around with Zhongcheng as the center. The mecha battle group with several Titan mechas as the core rushed to the periphery of the protective net; Wu Chaoqun and other six-level star souls combined to clear out high-value targets; tens of thousands of intelligent plants charged in groups on the front line and swallowed them up; the electric fog legion, which was originally temporarily lost control due to Lin Zaishan's loss of contact, could not wait to join the battle at this moment and massacre the insect swarm.

Lin Zaishan's most critical moment in the city has arrived, showing his power and turning the situation around in one fell swoop. By the evening of the 49th day of the disaster, Zhongcheng had completed the clearing of the city; within a radius of 10 kilometers outside the city, it had become a safe area covered by a code network; within 10 kilometers outside the city, the density of the insect swarm was greatly reduced; high-level insects within 100 kilometers around were either sniped or hidden from showing their heads.

Lin Zaishan ordered the entire army to retreat to the protective net for rest and hold a meeting overnight.

//////////////

Before the meeting, everyone ran over to find Lin Zaishan to ask about his well-being.

Ma Youhe held Lin Zaishan's hand and burst into tears, "Xiaolin, if it weren't for you, the curse of the city massacre would have come true. You are truly the lucky star of our survivors of the end of the world, a savior!"

"Mr. Ma was awarded the award. If everyone hadn't given me spiritual support and motivation, I wouldn't have lived until now."

Sun Zhenghong said: "You monster, if you come 10 minutes late, you will not see us. Please let me go missing next time. Can you make a preview in advance?"

Lin Zaishan hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean it every time I lost contact."

"Is it someone else causing trouble this time?"

"The promotion path of Star Soul Coders itself has a huge trap. For me, once I upgrade to the seventh-level star soul, I will be pulled to the Void Arena by an extremely powerful force and have been tested at the level."

"What? Have you gone to another plane?" Everyone was surprised.

"Kobayashi, what kind of test have you been subjected to?"

"I want to participate in the battle in the Void Arena, compete with experts from other planes, and win 100 consecutive games. As long as any defeat is the end of the ashes. And the opponents are all level seven-level star souls. The hardship, pain and danger in this are hard to describe." Lin Zaishan sighed helplessly. Although he did not reveal more information, everyone seemed to be able to feel the cruelty and intensity of the Void Arena from his expression and eyes.

"Oh my God! Win 100 games in a row, that means you must defeat at least 100 Level 7 Star Soul-Addlers." Everyone was amazed.

Lin Zaishan said to everyone: "Time is tight, let's have a meeting."

//////////////

In this battle of defense of Zhongcheng, all citizens participated in the battle directly or indirectly and made contributions. Even Hongyan Society, which has always liked to engage in some petty thieves, picked up weapons and joined the alternate armed forces under the leadership of Wang Jue. All forces in Zhongcheng, the Fearless Team, He Xiaotian, Huo Qiankun, Du Lili, and the old subordinates of Shencheng all showed unprecedented unity and cooperation. The test of life and death brought people's psychological and emotional distance closer and enhanced people's recognition. Survivors couldn't help but respect Zhongcheng, the originally unfamiliar concept, and were extremely proud of themselves being a citizen of Zhongcheng.

The Battle of Zhongcheng has greatly inspired people's combat wisdom and talents. A large number of new technologies, weapons, equipment and tactics have been developed and put into use. Zhongcheng cannons are the most typical successful cases; many people have grown and evolved in the 49-day life-and-death test, and become experienced strong people. A large number of survivors have reached the threshold for advanced star souls. It can be expected that in the near future, Zhongcheng will add many level five, six, and even seven-level star souls.

Before and after the Battle of Midtown, the spatial pattern of power in Zhongcheng also underwent major changes: before the Battle of Midtown, the actual control area of ​​Zhongcheng was compressed to the urban area with a diameter of 5 kilometers within the moat; after the Battle of Defense, the diameter of the security area covered by the code protection network alone exceeded 15 kilometers, and there were many peripheral areas under the actual control of Zhongcheng. There was a fundamental reversal between Zhongcheng and the swarm of insects. Zhongcheng's strategic counterattack was sooner or later.

Of course, the losses in the defense battle in the Midtown were also extremely heavy. A total of more than 27,000 people lost their lives permanently, 85% of the mechas were destroyed, more than 5,000 intelligent plants were destroyed, all large animals were massacred, all stock supplies were exhausted, and 90% of the buildings were destroyed. The remaining nearly 70,000 people also had physical, psychological and star soul trauma, light or severe.

"Mr. Lin, what should we do below?" Everyone looked at Lin Zaishan eagerly, looking forward to his orders.

Lin Zaishan calmly arranged: "Our top priority is three: first, consolidate the protection network and safety zone in the city; second, rebuild various infrastructure, restore production and life; third, restorate personnel and commend military achievements."

He continued: "The first work is mainly performed automatically by Master Lin, and I will add the new Star Soul original for it to use. The second work is implemented by me personally. Please stay in the Midtown Square tonight and wait patiently. I promise that by tomorrow morning, we will give everyone a new look to Midtown!"

"What? Tomorrow morning? Mr. Lin, is this possible?" Huo Qiankun did not hide his suspicion.

"As long as you master certain eight-level star soul genes, it is possible." Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "Sun Zhenghong is responsible for the third task. I hereby declare: For those who have outstanding military achievements and meet the conditions, I will help them to advance to higher-level star souls, including seventh level!"

"Wow!" The venue was like a blowout. All the sixth-level star souls were eagerly looking forward to it.

Xu Yuxin stood up and asked, "Teacher Lin, if I am promoted to level seven, would I have to go to the Void Arena like you to withstand the test of passing the level hundred times?"

Lin Zaishan replied: "This so-called level-passing test is actually a huge trap. The purpose is to control the opportunity of low-level plane powerhouses to emerge and plunder their star soul knowledge, skills and other wisdom. Since I have learned the lessons, I will not let you suffer this pain again. I promise that you can be promoted to level seven star souls without having to withstand the test of the Void Arena; of course, without this experience, your upgraded combat ability will definitely be much worse."

Xu Yuxin's beautiful eyes flashed when she heard this, and she cast her consciousness: "Teacher Lin, you must help me. I will definitely be your most proud disciple."

Wu Chaoqun asked, "Xiaolin, look at how many of us present are qualified to be promoted to level seven?"

"Absolutely more than one." Lin Zaishan didn't want to say too much, "The more the seventh-level strong people, the better, I will do my best."

Wang Chengba raised his hand excitedly and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you think I can be promoted to Level 6?"

"In my plan, the sixth-level star souls will be like the urban management before the end of the world - you can see it anywhere you go. I plan to increase the number of sixth-level star souls in the middle city to more than 100 in about a year, and increase the seventh-level star souls to more than 10. In this way, even if I sleep hard every day, the middle city will have the ability to deal with any threats such as fire thieves, witch Landa, Zerg and Star Soul Herder."

"Oh my God! It's so fascinating!" Many people couldn't help but stand up and cheer when they heard this.

Lin Zaishan added another sentence, pushing everyone's enthusiasm to a climax: "I am planning to build Zhongcheng University immediately to specialize in cultivating the sixth-level star souls. In addition, we will also set up supporting Zhongcheng Middle School and primary schools to cultivate talents of level 5 and below. In the future Zhongcheng schools, the learning of star soul knowledge, skills and the promotion of the seventh-level star soul levels will be entirely guided and decided by our education cause!"

"Not only that, we must build advanced mechas and weapons and equipment, launch satellites, spacecraft, land on the moon, Mars, build space stations and planetary bases, and incorporate the entire Earth and even the solar system into the safe zone protected by the code mesh! We must not only restore the prosperity before the end of the world, but also create an unprecedented new era of glory!"

Everyone stood up and applauded warmly.

//////////////

After the meeting, everyone was full of expectations and performed their duties as Lin Zaishan ordered. The vast majority of people gathered at Zhongcheng Square to wait for Lin Zaishan to implement Zhongcheng infrastructure renovation.

Lin Zaishan used eight-level superpowers to drive various materials such as soil, sand, stone, metal and other materials on the surface of Zhongcheng to undergo earth-shaking transformations.

With the Central City Hall as the center, he expanded the entire urban area outward, making its radius reaching 15 kilometers, which is basically the same as the coverage of the code network. The underground and surface structure of Zhongcheng was re-set, many gaps were filled, and multiple layers of protective nets were inlaid to ensure that no insect could penetrate and that the strong could not easily cross it.

Based on the development and construction plan of Zhongcheng in the future, he divided the entire urban area into administrative center areas, residential areas, education areas, military areas, agricultural areas, forestry areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, etc.:

(1) The administrative center includes the city hall and the main office buildings of each department.

(2) The residential areas are of course mainly residential. Considering the stratification of the solstice society, on the premise of ensuring that everyone has high-quality housing, they were dealt with separately according to the star soul level and the city contribution level. Many complex manors (for the seventh-level star souls), single-family villas (sixth-level star souls), large commercial houses (fourth-fifth-level star souls), and luxurious apartments (fourth-level star souls below level 4). In order to make the high-level star souls contribute, complex manors and single-family villas are built in areas close to the outer periphery of the city, and resisting external invasions, so that the existence of these strong people naturally forms a security barrier.

(3) The education area is mainly based on Midtown University. Lin Zaishan’s layout of the university has not yet been fully conceived, so only a clear space is reserved.

(4) The military zone is a place for stationing and training armed forces. Lin Zaishan has only built a basic framework for a military base, and there are many details to be supplemented and improved.

(5) The agricultural areas are distributed near the complex manor, and large areas of farmland are reserved to plant special crops such as apocalyptic herbs.

(6) The forestry area is distributed at the outermost periphery of Zhongcheng, and a large number of smart forests are prepared to be cultivated.

(7) The industrial zone is arranged near the agricultural zone and forestry zone to facilitate collection of raw materials, mainly including steel, mecha and manufacturing and processing plants for weapons and equipment, electronic originals, nanomaterials, star soul originals, etc.

(8) The commercial area is built outside the administrative center, near luxury apartments, and commercial facilities such as shopping and medical care are set up.

In addition, well-connected roads and various embellishments and beautification facilities have been set up to make the New Central City not only stronger, more practical, but also more beautiful.

During the period when Lin Zaishan was missing, he mastered a large number of level seven and eighth star soul symbols. He was able to transform large-scale matter as he wanted with his superpowers, and won the title of "Junior Constructor" in the Void Arena. The constructionist is a profession evolved from the star soul coder. They can use the star soul ability to control the material world and make it appear that meets their subjective wishes. They are a magnificent existence in any plane.

Such a large-scale urban infrastructure construction will take at least 3 years before the end of the world, but for a junior architect, it will take several hours. Of course, it will consume huge star soul energy and cause serious star soul load.

Lin Zaishan worked for nearly 4 hours in a row before he had initially completed the infrastructure construction work of Xinzhongcheng. He was already exhausted at this time, so he flashed back to the city hall.

//////////////

There were still a large number of people in the city hall staying up late to work overtime. Ye Jingying had been waiting in Lin Zaishan's office. When she saw him return, she immediately came forward.

At this time, midnight was coming, Lin Zaishan let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "The 49-day city slaughter curse has finally passed, and the city is peaceful."

"Dear, it's all fortunate that you are!"

Seeing that there was no critical situation at the moment, Lin Zaishan felt very relaxed and said to Ye Jingying: "Do you want to take the lead in taking a look at the new look of Zhongcheng?"

"Okay, okay!" Ye Jingying cheered.

Lin Zaishan immediately led her to fly over the midtown for several times, and finally landed in a compound manor.

"Wow! Such a good manor, who are you going to live with?"

"Of course it's me. Do I have this privilege yet?"

"What should I do? Where do I live?"

"Of course living with me."

"Great! I announce: This manor is mine from now on, including land, houses and all the vegetation on it, and even you, a level seven star soul powerhouse, are mine!"

Lin Zaishan said: "Xiao Yezi, there is a saying that I must make clear. As a recognized savior, I belong to everyone, but not anyone."

"It's completely different to saving people and being with me. Am I not worthy of your special treatment?"

"You are of course unique in my mind. I even set the butler of my own Star Soul World to be like you."

"Really? Hehe." Ye Jingying was happy at first, but then resented: "Hmph, it turns out that I am just a housekeeper and not a mistress!"

Lin Zaishan explained awkwardly: "I am the master of my star soul world, and there is no mistress in it."

"Why can I be the mistress of your manor? Is it okay?"

"As long as you want, you, Caroline and He Annie can live with me in this manor."

"It seems that I can't be the only hostess in this manor." Ye Jingying said in a sad tone.

Lin Zaishan knew that he had fallen into the category of "scumbags". He didn't know how to defend and comfort him, but Ye Jingying smiled, "I can't be the only one, but I can be the first one!" After saying that, he threw himself into Lin Zaishan's arms and murmured softly.
Chapter completed!
