Chapter 37
The beast group's battle against the 302 area gradually turned into a siege against Zhou Cang because of Zhou Cang's joining. The guards on the side became supporting roles and began to assist Zhou Cang in the attack.
Dean Zhang and Luo Li, who rushed over, were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Is this an apprentice beastmaster? His strength is only stronger than that of the beastmasters at the venerable level!
"I... I expected Zhou Cang to become a strong man in the future, but I never expected... He has become so strong after just a few days." Luo Li said softly.
"I am a little worried. Can he bear this psychologically?" Dean Zhang sighed and asked in a deep voice.
"I believe... he can do it." After saying this, Luo Li returned directly to the area he was responsible for.
...
One o'clock in the morning
In the four-hour siege of the beast tide, the guards won the final victory.
Zhou Cang sat quietly on the battlement, looking at the piles of beast corpses below with a dull look.
"Young man, do you want one?" A middle-aged man covered in blood walked aside, took out a cigarette and asked softly.
"Have one." Zhou Cang took it and the middle-aged man lit it for him.
"Are you a student of Tianyu Branch College? This is your first time to participate in the city defense battle. Are you afraid?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Zhou Cang let out a helpless bitter smile.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. He had lost count of how many fatal threats he had just experienced. If it weren't for his strong willpower and fast reaction, he would have been pressed under the corpse of the beast.
"Afraid? Is it useful to be afraid? Since I chose to participate in the city defense battle, there are only two results. They kill me, or I kill them. I don't want to die, so... I can only kill them all."
"No man in the Zhou family is afraid of death. Even if they die, they die for a good reason." Zhou Cang said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man on the side was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhou Cang to say such a second-year remark. After reacting, he couldn't help laughing.
"Good! A worthy death. Go to the back to clean up, change clothes and go home. Don't delay tomorrow's class and practice." The middle-aged man smiled and patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Zhou Cang took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand, jumped off the battlement and walked towards the back.
Seeing Zhou Cang leave, a young man not far away walked over quickly.
"Dad, this kid has unlimited potential! Just from what I saw, he killed at least hundreds of monsters. If all are added up... the number should be thousands. This record is not weaker than most Venerable Beastmasters." Tong Sinian looked at Zhou Cang's departing back and said with some emotion.
"What does it have to do with you? Fortunately, you brought enough people with you when you came here, otherwise it would be a problem whether the city can be defended today. You are still talking nonsense? Have the nerve to do that!"
"Once the city wall is lost, the first to bear the brunt are the people in the city! Do you want those unarmed people to fight with the beasts?" Tong Muxue shouted in a deep voice.
Tong Sinian lowered his head with shame. Before this beast tide, the guards did not receive any warning signals, which was definitely a serious dereliction of duty.
...
Logistics Department
Zhou Cang strode into the logistics department with countless people's eyes.
Everyone looked at Zhou Cang with shock, especially the college badge on Zhou Cang's chest.
A student of Tianyu College, who was only an apprentice, defended the 302 stronghold in the city defense battle, killed more than a thousand beasts, and was still unscathed.
Zhou Cang's deeds spread throughout the entire guard army within just a few minutes after the end of the city defense battle.
"Salute!!!" a middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice.
"Shua..." Everyone clenched their right fists and tapped their hearts several times.
Since Zhou Cang was not a guard, he could not use the guard salute, so he spread his right palm, pressed it lightly on his chest, and bent his head slightly.
"Brother, go in and take a shower to get rid of the bloody smell. I'll help you find a set of clean clothes." A young man walked up and said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Cang nodded lightly and stepped into the bathroom next to him.
The moment Zhou Cang walked in, a burst of discussion suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Is he the apprentice beastmaster who killed thousands of monsters in four hours?"
"Oh my god... I didn't expect him to look so young, less than 20 years old?"
"Eighteen years old... This kid is a monster. As of today, he has only awakened for less than ten days!"
...
The hall was full of discussions until Tong Sinian walked in, and the hall instantly became quiet.
"Notify all departments that Zhou Cang's information will be included in the top-secret files of the Guard Army from now on. AnyoneYou are not allowed to leak any information to outsiders. Once verified, you will be punished according to military law!" Tong Sinian's voice resounded in the hall.
"Yes! "Everyone stood up and shouted.
Turning on the shower, hot water splashed on Zhou Cang, blood kept dripping from his body. Zhou Cang stood under the shower with his head down, and the scenes he had experienced in the past four hours kept echoing in his mind.
I thought that humans could survive the siege of fierce beasts and alien races, and their strength was no weaker than that of fierce beasts.
Until now, Zhou Cang realized that ordinary humans were so weak compared to fierce beasts.
It takes only three or four years for a fierce beast to grow from birth to adulthood, and its reproduction rate is extremely fast.
But it takes more than ten or even twenty years for humans to cultivate a newborn baby into an adult warrior, and the resources consumed are far more than that of an ordinary fierce beast.
Even if they use guns and large-scale lethal weapons to fight against a large number of fierce beasts, they can only draw a tie.
This does not include the alien race that has never been seen.
"Alas... there is a long way to go. "After Zhou Cang washed himself, he dried his body quickly and walked out of the bathroom naked.
The young man who had just spoken to him was waiting outside the door and handed him the clothes.
"This is brand new and I haven't worn it yet. I don't know if it fits me. Try it on first." The man said softly.
"Thank you."
After changing his clothes and exchanging a few simple pleasantries with the other party, Zhou Cang got on the bus to the city.
After more than half an hour's journey, Zhou Cang returned home smoothly. He originally just wanted to lie on the sofa to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep.
He was too tired. His nerves were highly tense for a long time, and he kept using telekinesis to change the direction of the poisonous stinger in the air, which consumed a lot of Zhou Cang's physical energy.
When Zhou Cang opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
"Gu...Gu..." His stomach growled a few times.
The black dragon turtle in the beast control space kept calling when he saw Zhou Cang wake up.
